Chapter 122: Interrogation
"Miss Eva, thank you for testifying, we have taken note of the testimony, now please sit down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After listening to the girl's statement, the silver-haired judge who presided over the trial exchanged views with the people around her, and then motioned to Eva to sit down again.
"Barr, do you have anything to say in the face of Miss Eva's testimony?"
The judge turned his head, glared at the dishonest Barr, and shouted.
"No, there's nothing to say, what Eva said is true, and Gloria and I lied to her like this. Seeing that the judge's face was not good, Barr hurriedly nodded and admitted, for fear of annoying the other party again.
When Eva, who had already calmed down, heard this, she gave Barr who had deceived her fiercely. As the saying goes, when the enemy sees each other, they are very red-eyed, and in the face of this man who almost killed her, Eva has a lot of hatred in her heart. Although she was safe at this point, the thought of being played like a fool and fleeing for dozens of days made Eva really want to kill this disgusting fat man.
"Okay, then let's get back to what you didn't finish. Tell everyone, how did you escape the violet academy's surveillance and lead Eva's grandmother, Lady Helen, to White City?"
"Hehe, what else can we do? We were a little flustered by the vampire's presence, but we reacted quickly. So I deliberately lied to the receptionist of the mercenary union, saying that my daughter had been kidnapped by vampires, and in order to recover her as soon as possible, I wanted to call Violet's most elite students to chase her. β
As soon as Barr's words came out, the Tianwu Academy sitting below immediately exploded, scolding the Violet Academy for being shameless, shouting that Barr was threatened by the Violet Academy, so he would defend Violet like this. According to their intelligence, it is clear that Barr first found the Violet Academy, and then found the Mercenary Guild.
In the face of the clamor of Tianwu Academy, other academies were also boiling. An invisible front tacit agreement was reached, and several academies joined in the quarrel to attack Violet Academy. Anyway, they came here today to watch a good show, and by the way, they will once again hack the Violet Academy, which is usually high up.
The Violet students sitting in the venue were naturally unhappy, and in the face of the slander of other academies, they also opened their mouths to scold other academies. Although most of these people were freshmen, they had already developed a sense of belonging to Violet after only a month of enrollment, especially the honor brought to them by the strongest college.
At this time, someone attacked the academy, and the freshmen naturally fought back. For a while, the six academies and colleges, which had always had grievances, began to attack each other, and the scene was chaotic.
"Enough!
The judge in charge of the trial is not a vegetarian either, and the audience is about to fight. Immediately, there was a loud shout, and the shocking sound echoed in everyone's ears, and the stunned students suddenly quieted down, and many people were even more shocked.
It was only then that the students realized how powerful the old man in charge of the interrogation was. And being presumptuous in front of a strong man is no different from looking for death.
"Barr, you go ahead and state. β
The judge didn't look at the crowd in the audience, and said to Barr, who was so frightened by the previous argument that he hid under the table.
"Oh. β
Barr climbed out of the audience and glanced in awe at Merlin, Philip, and the others in the jury.
"After deceiving Philip, I announced that I would go to the countryside to recuperate. A few days later, taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people to visit, I secretly took the old and faint Helen over, and after deceiving her, we began to leave for White City. Hehe, the old woman is usually shrewd to death, but as soon as she heard that her granddaughter was missing, she immediately panicked, and she didn't doubt what I said at all. β
After explaining the truth, Barr suddenly smiled happily, clearly complacent about his success.
"What happened when you went to White City, where was Lady Helen when Dean Philip found you?"
"What else can I send? I think I've been shrewd all my life, and when I'm old, I'm going to capsize in the gutter. On the first night of my arrival in White City, the city was in flames, and the people who sent out to inquire about it said that there were vampires killing people and setting fires, and I knew something bad was wrong when I heard it. In the early hours of the morning, a strange-looking mage suddenly appeared in the inn and abducted Helen without me speaking. β
"The moment Helen was taken captive, I knew I had been betrayed. The next morning, I found out that a powerful mage had saved White City from the undead, and my first reaction was that Philip was coming. What happened afterwards proved my conjecture. In retrospect, I am afraid that I was involved in a game between some mysterious force and Violet, and I tragically became an outcast. β
After explaining everything, Barr actually wiped away his tears, which was a little unbearable with his miserable appearance. However, compared to what he had just said, no one would sympathize with a crocodile in tears.
"You said you didn't know the identity of another strange-looking mage? Do you know what happened to Lady Helen who was taken away?"
Ignoring the pretending Barr, the judge continued his interrogation.
"Yes. She died a terrible death, being drained of her blood. If I'm not expecting it bad, it's Gloria's doing. β
At the thought of someone who had died worse than him, Barr seemed to find a sense of superiority. Therefore, when answering the question, the tone and demeanor became relaxed again.
"What did you say!"
Across from Barr, Eva, who was part of the investigation, exclaimed. The girl pointed at the sneering profiteer in surprise, and shook her head unconsciously, trying to find a trace of camouflage from the other party's face.
However, the cruel Barr grinned at Eva with cruelty, disdain, and schadenfreude.
Heartbroken, Eva only felt the world spin for a while, and she fell backwards with a weak breath. Fortunately, even if Liang Feng reacted, he reached out to support the girl's pretty shoulder, so that she could snuggle up to herself and not fall down.
"The interrogation is over soon, hold on. β
And the people who originally watched the show also whispered at the moment, and their target had shifted from the dereliction of duty of the Violet Academy to the mysterious forces. A force that dares to provoke the legendary eight pages on the mainland, the manipulator behind it must have a shocking conspiracy. Many people have already keenly felt that there is probably going to be a bloody storm on the mainland.
"Investigation is over!"
The judge had exchanged glances with the jury, and after both sides agreed, he struck the table with a hammer, and after the scene was quiet again, the judge began to pronounce the verdict.
"Barr, a wealthy businessman, covets the property left by Eva's mother, and colludes with the necromancer to frame Miss Eva together. During the conspiracy, he involved the Violet Academy of the Mercenary Guild and killed hundreds of civilians in White City. We have communicated with the Kingdom of Gabes, and both sides have unanimously decided to execute Baal, who will be executed in a week's time. β
"Barr, do you have anything to say about this verdict, and if you question it, you can say it, whether it is according to the law of Violet or the law of Gabes. β
"Hehe, of course not. β
Facing the old judge's gaze, Barr resignedly agreed.
When the people who heard the trial saw that the matter was over, many people began to get up and leave early. After this trial, they had more topics to talk about after dinner.
"If I, Bal, have fallen to this day because I am to blame, then why is another man who has committed the most heinous crimes unharmed?
