The man jumped up from his seat at once, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw in his life: "Your Excellency, may I say a few words?" ”

Liu Chang said: "Oh? What are you going to say? ”

The man said, "Do you know who the guy you just scolded and said he was a bastard, he is the famous Dr. Van Tong Gais." ”

"Your Excellency," said another gentleman, "don't talk nonsense. ”

"Be patient, Mr. Ves." The man said, "Your interests will be protected." In my opinion, what we need on this issue is to get things straight, not to quarrel pointlessly.

If Dr. Van Tong Gaith is here at the moment, I'm willing to let him speak, and he will prove that he is not a jerk. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I'll start with one of the last points made by Dr. Fan Tong Gais, and I can put on record that I made the remarks he just talked about—"

"Wait a minute, doctor. You have chosen to defend yourself. Surely you have the ability to defend your interests? ”

"I'm going to try, Your Excellency. All of you here can attest to the fact that I have officially stated this. ”

"Very well, you can go on and on."

"I admit that it may be due to a malfunction of the machine that your speech is abnormal, and that it is by no means unique, and that many people have taken a silent attitude to calm the situation, but I would like to explain who has suffered loss or damage as a result of this.

Indeed, there are some people who take a more extreme approach, and I would like to remind you that sometimes things may not go the way you designed, and even get the opposite result;

This result will put them in a state of no return. If I could issue a ban on that, I would open a kerosene lamp factory and ask for a ban on the manufacture of light bulbs. ”

"I admit that maybe one day, this terrible 250 may fall on my head, so I won't fall on you because of this matter, so I want to solemnly explain."

Liu Chang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but interject: "Wait a minute, doctor." Mr. Weiss, is it true that your expert witnesses are also not familiar with Dr. Fan Tong Gais's theories and methods? ”

Mr. Weiss grimaced.

He pondered it for a moment, and then replied, "I can't answer this question yet, I'm going to discuss it with my peers, can I be tolerant for a few minutes?" ”

Liu Chang nodded: "Of course you can." ”

Mr. Weiss and his accomplices negotiated nervously and quietly, then turned to Liu Chang: "We have a suggestion about the procedure, Your Excellency. If Dr. Van Tung Gaiss is willing to accept and explain the theory and practice of his so-called method, then these eminent scientists will be able to raise their views before the court whether his claims are true or false. ”

Liu Chang looked at the man with an inquiring gaze, this point of view was somewhat beyond his cognition, and the scientific truth and falsity required the judge's opinion rather than scientific verification.

The man also regained his composure and replied, "I don't want to accept this suggestion. Before it falls on their heads, everyone will have the mentality of 'watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things', no matter whether my method works or not, it is always dangerous to leave my fate to someone else's conscience. He pointed to the enthusiastic melon-eating crowd, paused, and smiled deliberately—"These gentlemen know this. Furthermore, in order to prove my innocence, someone has to take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility.

All people believe in authority blindly. According to science, the proof of experiments is extremely important, and theories are only to better illustrate the problem; When it's not right, throw it away. According to the scholastic view, authority is everything; If the facts do not correspond to the theories formulated by the authorities, the facts are discarded.

"Previously, I had asked these people dressed as experts to test them with experiments, but they refused. Now I don't trust anyone's assurances to me that I, Silas, will never put my fate in the hands of anyone else! Unless he can prove that Dr. Van Tong Gaiss is a liar. Or to prove that Dr. Fan Tong Gaisce is not a liar. ”

He stopped, holding his not-so-bulging chest up like a bulging belly. He glanced at the sweaty celebrities. "How?"

Everyone's eyes widened and stared at Liu Chang's eyes: "Do you agree to do this?" ”

Liu Chang said: "Your Excellency, I think this suggestion is extremely inappropriate——"

Silas interrupted him: "I warn you, if you do not accept it, and do not come up with an equally reasonable way to present the facts, I will judge against you--- according to the ironclad law of the minority obeying the majority, we can conclude that ---you are an alien spy." ”

Liu Chang opened his mouth and looked around, almost everyone was looking at him, obviously, they had reached a consensus, he changed his mind, and then turned to Weiss: "We agree, Your Excellency." ”

"Good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Vess said, "Let's make a concrete arrangement between you." Before I wrap this up, I'd like to share my thoughts on the ideas you put into your claim to the detriment of your customers.

In this country, the rule of law is a fundamental state policy, and no one can control the constitution: the government and the courts have a responsibility to protect their rights and interests in the future, even if the situation changes and conflicts with the interests of the public.

No individual, nor collectively, has the right to go to the court for personal gain to demand that the clock of history be turned back or turned back. That's all I'm talking about. ”

Liu Chang cleared his throat with understanding: "Gentlemen, I hope you can discuss with me before deciding to frame me, so that I can be prepared, okay?" ”

Vis snorted.

One after another, people left.

When everyone was gone and the door was closed, Vis grabbed the microphone. "Hey, call him in."

The door opened, and a short, sturdy man stood in the doorway for a moment. His small, dark eyes scanned the room quickly before entering, and then walked towards Vis with a light and agile step. He spoke to Weiss in a flat, nonchalant tone. Except for the blinking of those beastly eyes, there was no expression: "You want me to talk about work?" ”

"Yes."

"What are your commands?"

Vis maintained a serious expression: "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Silas, however, smiled and beckoned, "Come in, my dear, please come in." Sit down and you're welcome. ”

The young man's young and loyal face looked a little embarrassed. "You see, sir, my name is Edward Hartley; I have a wife, her name is Betty, and we're going to have — that is, Betty is going to have a baby soon, so—"

Silas smiled gently. "I understand. We will never let you feel embarrassed and not let this affect your future and that of your unborn child. Someone bears the consequences for this, it's very simple, you just have to do what I say, and move your finger lightly; You see, this is the price of your moves. After saying that, he stuffed a large handful of sand coins into the young man's pocket, and patted it on his pocket intimately, giving him a 'you can rest assured' expression.

Vis smiled at him as well: "That's true. I agree. ”

"Mr. Silas, please come first. Please go behind the screen and take off your shoes and coat. Edward got Ves's approval. He turned around and adjusted the instrument slightly. Then he nodded to Silas, who went behind the screen for a while and soon came out, wearing only a silk underwear. Ruyin glanced up, then turned around, covered in hair, similar to the orangutans in the zoo.

"Come here, dear." Then, Edward began to greet Liu Chang, "Weigh yourself first." There, let's go up to the platform. Put this electrode in your mouth. No, dear, it's over soon, be quiet. ”

He slipped into the lid of the machine again, and the indicator moved. After a while, he walked out with a restless expression. "Oh my God, what's going on?"

"What's wrong, Edward?" Silas, who was getting dressed, stood up nervously, while Edward circled around the device and drilled back in, a little longer than he had been.

Vis was also a little nervous, and seeing that Edward was still looking sad, he asked with concern, "What is the result of Silas, Edward?" ”

Edward said: "It's a little bit difficult. I want to check you first. ”

When he came out after checking on Ves, his face was full of worry. Silas asked him what he had. Edward shrugged his shoulders and forced a smile.

Edward said, "Don't worry, it's fine. I think there's something wrong with the instrument. But today I can't tell you both the results. I'll have to overhaul my machine thoroughly. ”

Unlike Weiss and Silas's worries, Liu Chang said nonchalantly: "What is there, of course you can." You see, there's something wrong with the machine, it's really hard for you. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it. ”

Edward said, "No, I know that. Can you go back to my office and sit for a while? ”

Liu Chang smiled: "Thank you." You're so kind. ”

Silas was a little uneasy: "But Edward, I'd better stay here, I think I might be able to give you a hand." ”

"You can't leave me there alone, can you, my dear Dr. Silas? I'm old and love the energy that comes with being around young people. But I don't have a chance to do that. Come on. He gently shoved Silas into the office with his arm and invited them to sit down.

He pulled a cigarette from his bosom, invited them to smoke, and lit a cigar himself.

Dr. Weiss concocted a story about his adventures on the Island of the Dead as a young man, and told it for forty minutes, and Liu Changzheng listened attentively, while Silas seemed restless and anxious to leave.

Just as Dr. Vess stopped to light his cigar, he stood up, "Dr. Ves, it's really time for me to go." Shall I come back tomorrow to hear the story completely? ”

"Tomorrow? There is no time for tomorrow. Vis took a deep breath and exhaled a smoke ring.

Silas said, "But you don't have time today." Your secretary has already called you five times. ”

"Can't you just stay with me a few more minutes?"

"Not today, Doctor. I have an appointment. Someone is waiting for me. ”

"Is there no way to keep you?"

"I'm afraid not. Let's go, Dr. Weiss. ”

After they left, Liu Chang walked to the window and looked out over the city. After a while, he noticed that the two men had left the building where he worked. He watched as they hurried around the corner, waited for a green light, and then crossed the street and disappeared across the road.

"Let's go too" Liu Chang looked left and right, feeling very bored, beckoned to the two disciples, and took the lead towards the door.

The trio swaggered out of the Capitol in full view of the many guards, just as they swaggered in.

This is thanks to their demeanor and invincible attitude: Liu Chang's body is full of gold, silver, bronze, and medals made of unknown materials, hanging from the door of his head to his feet, and when he walks, he makes a noise.

Jack and Ruyin both have huge slogans hanging on their chests and backs: "Comrade Blaschos, a good comrade!" ”

No one knows what the significance of this equipment is, but his function is obvious--- there were still some lively streets, everyone was a bird and beast, and they dispersed in a hurry, which really played the role of cleaning the street.

A few of the more daring ones hid at the far corner of the street, showing half of their heads, and whispered:

"Mom, who is this 'Blasus'?"

"You don't even know President Blas?"

"The president has changed again? Isn't our president's name Spar Daozhe? ”

"What's the call of another change, the president's brother-in-law... Idiots! ”

"Oh, it's my brother-in-law, I thought it was his father-in-law...

Sitting down at the dining table, Liu Chang stared at the exquisite lunch in front of him. He ordered the meal, and in order to enjoy it to the fullest, he specially hung a coat full of medals and hung it on the wall at the door.

After a while, he took a small sip of the "Snow Flower", carefully savored the taste of the wine, and slowly swallowed it drop by drop.

The rich, sweet wine heated his mouth and he sighed. It was a good meal, a good meal, and a taste of this good foreign wine.

Soon, his interest is interrupted by the commotion at the front door. Outside the door, an old woman's voice argued with others. A man's deep voice knocked her down. The sound of the quarrel moved to the hall, and the door to the dining room was pushed open.

A figure flashed in, and before Liu Chang and the others could figure out what the situation was, a woman dressed as an old woman was pushed in and fell to her knees with a 'poof'. Then, a man who looked like an officer followed. There was also a group of soldiers standing outside the door.

"Adults are eating!" The old woman whispered to the officer.

"It's okay, hostess. I have time to meet with these people. You're good to go. Liu Chang faced the rough faces of the group of people who rushed in, "You guys have something to do with me, right?" ”

"You've guessed right," the officer exclaimed, "we've had enough of your tricks. Turning around and taking off Liu Chang's clothes hanging by the door, perhaps lacking due respect for the weight of the dress full of medals, he didn't grasp it steadily, and the clothes fell to the ground, making a series of crackling sounds.

"You broke it for me, what should I do?" Liu Chang asked.

The person who took the lead didn't answer immediately, and a short and concise person flashed out from behind and stood opposite Liu Chang.

Touched the officer's arm: "Dr. Beder, your phone." ”

"Good. Bring the telephone. ”

When the telephone was brought over, the officer, Dr. Beddle, put the receiver next to his ear. "Hello. …… Yes, let's talk about it. …… What? …… No, we haven't heard anything. …… The instrument is ruined, you mean. …… He's dead! How did he die? …… No! There are no instructions. Not at all. …… Call me later......"

He slammed the microphone down and pushed the phone aside.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chang asked, "Who died?" ”

Bader raised a hand. "Be quiet, gentlemen! Dr. Edward had been murdered in his home a few minutes earlier. ”

"Murdered?"

"It's not over yet. Around the same time, the thugs broke into his office and destroyed his equipment. After speaking, Bedel's eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Chang's face, as if he wanted to find some clues from his expression.

Liu Chang said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you looking at me? ”

The officer sneered, "Someone saw you coming out of Edward's office!" ”

"Oh?"

"Then, Edward died."

"Oh."

"Oh oh, oh what, Edward's death, you have a major suspicion. Mr. Blas, you're in trouble, you're in trouble! Come with us. ”

"Oh~~" Liu Chang let out a long oh again, glanced at the two stupid disciples around him who seemed to be in a state of cuteness, and was very dissatisfied, "Why don't you two eat?" Eat it, it tastes good. ”
