Chapter 124: An Easy Victory
"We conducted an initial investigation into Kate." Daly thought back to the information she could tell Hobert: "We confirmed that he had indeed just taken the 'Secret Invoker' potion.
"It looks like the person who gave him the potion formula will contact him in the near future, so we're keeping Kate under surveillance around the clock to try to catch more dangerous people."
Hobert nodded: "I hope that when this matter is over, you can announce the approximate results to me." ”
Dai Li said "um": "As long as you need it, we will." ”
"In addition, I have other clues about the 'Secret Prayer Man' here." Hobert said, "I wasn't your informant back then......"
Hobart recounts the history of tracking down and Zachry, including information he received from Darkholm that a Aurora bishop named Hillman is hidden among the farmers of Beckland.
Dai Li listened carefully: "This information is very useful to us, even more valuable than the information you provided before, and we will investigate it." ”
Hobert took a sip of wine and asked, "And how much is this piece of information worth?" ”
"If all true, it's worth about one-fifth of the extraordinary characteristics of a 'bribe-taker.'"
Hobert nodded, it was worth about two hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, and the price given by Dali was very fair.
He whispered, "The second thing is that I wish to receive extraordinary medicine that nourishes my spirits. ”
Dai Li was stunned for a moment, but then understood: "I didn't feel any damage to your spirit, and I thought you used some method to erase the damage caused by 2-365." ”
The black glove, designated 2-365 by the Night Watchman.
"I did deal with the damage to the spirits." Hobert said: "But I always feel that my spirit is weaker than before, so I want to nourish my own spirit." ”
"No problem." Dai Li said: "The previous report to Kate, the 'secret prayer person', is enough for you to exchange for a medicine that nourishes your spirits. ”
"I want three of them."
"No problem." Dai Li didn't ask who the other two were for: "I'll send someone to send you to the law firm tomorrow morning." ”
After chatting with Dalie for a few more words, Hobart hurriedly said goodbye, since he knew that Kate would be able to appear in court normally tomorrow, then he had to be ready for a lawsuit.
When he returned to the law firm, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Hobart was mentally prepared to work overtime.
But he soon found out that the case was indeed quite simple, and he even felt that the plaintiff's lawyer should be the headache now, not himself.
Around five o'clock, Hobart had all the preparations, he gave a mental thumbs up to his efficiency, and then thought about what to eat for a while.
……
On the southern continent, outside the city of Crowlier, more than a dozen carriages are putting the finishing touches, and they are going to travel at night tonight.
This is the Balk family's convoy, and after that demigod battle, the negotiations have become a lot easier.
Eventually, the Vusak Empire and the Balk family came to an agreement: the Balk family would send one Sequence 5 and three Sequence 6, as well as several Sequences 7 and 8 to Crowlier City.
These Extraordinaries will assist the Vorsack Empire and General Anthony in dealing with attacks by other nations, colonies, pirates, and other forces, as well as solving local cases involving the Extraordinary.
Because of the hostile relationship between the Balk family and the "Rose School", this dispatch was a secret dispatch so as not to attract retaliation from the "Rose School".
The Balk family benefited from two copper mines and a large forest that was easy to log.
In the convoy, Elliott saw that Calvin was finally free, and he stepped forward to ask Calvin to come to a corner away from the crowd: "Uncle Calvin, delay you for a few minutes." ”
"I know what you're asking." Calvin asked, "You didn't tell anyone else about the results, did you?" ”
"Nope." Elliott said, "Uncle Calvin, that's true, isn't it?" ”
He whispered, "The curse of the family has nothing to do with the 'Rose School'. ”
Calvin nodded, "Well, that's true. ”
Elliott asked angrily, "Then why are we still fighting the 'Rose School'?" ”
Every year, members of the Balk family die at the hands of the "Rose School".
Calvin glanced at Elliot, he was now facing Elliott with mixed feelings, this was originally a junior in the family, but now because of his special status, he had to communicate with him carefully.
"I think you've guessed the answer." Calvin said: "Only by finding a target for family members to vent can our family have the strength to continue."
"Otherwise, we will inevitably be like Rex's family, and in the end he will be the only one left, no matter how strong his personal strength is, once he fails, all his previous efforts will be in vain."
Elliott's shoulder collapsed: "What the hell should I do to end the curse of the family?" ”
"You should be closer to the answer than we are." Calvin pointedly, "We seem more hopeful now than ever. ”
Elliott took a deep breath, "I see. ”
……
On Thursday morning, Hobert arrived at the Beckland courtroom at eight o'clock.
There were only a few people in the auditorium for this case. Among these people, there is also Firth who collects materials.
After a brief communication with Bill, Hobart quietly waited for the court to begin.
At about 8:20, Kate, who seemed to be in a trance, appeared in the plaintiff's seat, and the confident and even a little conceited demeanor before disappeared, as if he hadn't slept well for several days in a row.
Hobart said in his heart: He may really just haven't slept well for days, just taken the "Secret Prayer Man" potion, and it is difficult to control the overflowing spirituality. After everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, Kate must have felt that her home was more lively than during the day.
At half past eight, the court officially opened.
Plaintiff's lawyer first stated that Bill was drunk and sailed the boat and had a serious accident.
Under the rules governing the penalties for drunk driving, Bill faces at least three years in prison and 100 pounds in compensation for plaintiff Mr. Kate.
Then it was the defendant's lawyer's turn to speak, and Hobart smiled: "Yes, Mr. Beale admitted that he was drunk driving, but not drunk driving, of course it doesn't matter."
"I've brought a copy of the Criminal Code of the Kingdom of Rune, let's take a look at the regulations on drunk driving."
As he spoke, he turned to the Criminal Code: "The relevant statute is on page 226: if the driver of a horse-drawn carriage or a steam car has an accident after drinking alcohol, the driver shall bear all the losses incurred in the accident; If the driver is drunk driving, it will rise to a criminal case, and the driver will be criminally responsible......
"Notice the previous description, 'Horse-drawn carriage or steamer driver', does this statute mention the driver of a small steamer?
"Even if it is customary that the facts and facts of the case not expressly provided for in the statute can be extended or interpreted in a corresponding sense, a small steamship cannot be construed as a horse-drawn carriage or a steaming car.
"One is running on the road and the other is running in the water, and there is a huge difference in the meaning of the two!
"So I think that the plaintiff's claim is not valid! My client, Bill, was convicted of disturbing public order, or disrupting traffic order, and there were no serious consequences, and he was only fined up to 1 pound! ”
