Chapter 156: Demonstrations
Generally speaking, cases in formal court are sometimes postponed, but rarely, rarely, they are brought forward!
Bob's case, which was supposed to go to trial next Thursday, has now gone to trial this Friday, the day after tomorrow.
Originally, Hobert wanted to find a few witnesses, but now there is no time at all!
Wrong!
Hobart immediately realized that something was wrong.
At this time, the reception staff of the firm came to the office: "Attorney Hobert, someone is looking for you." ”
"Oh." Hobert came to his senses, put away the official letter, and made his way to the reception room while pondering how to respond.
In the reception room was a well-dressed butler, who smiled, "Mr. Hobert, my host, Mr. Arnold, please be sure to go to the banquet in the evening, this is an invitation." ”
Hobert looked at the butler and suddenly understood, and he smiled: "Okay, I will definitely go." ”
The butler bowed slightly and politely said goodbye to Hobert.
Hobart threw the invitation on the office and glanced at the official letter again, this is a demonstration!
He sat down in his chair, crossed his arms and began to figure out what to do.
Ten minutes later, he suddenly jumped up from his chair, put on his trench coat, took his briefcase and cane, and walked briskly out of the office.
As soon as he left, Hobart noticed that two stalkers were following him almost squarely.
This is also a demonstration.
Hobert smiled and shook his head, if it was in the era of the Common Era, these people threatened his family, threatened his own life, he might have compromised.
But now he compromised and forced him to kill Arnold's house, and then find a street lamp to hang him up.
But it wasn't time to flip the table, and back at the rental, Furth was eating, and Hugh was yawning, ready to take a nap after some more brewing.
Forth saw Hobert: "What time is it?" You're off work? ”
"I'm in a hurry!" Hobert said, "Hugh, take advantage of your rest time and issue you an urgent commission." ”
He took out a sorted note and handed it to her: "Remember Arnold, my client Bob's employer?" ”
Hugh put down the magazine: "Yes. ”
Hobart said: "The names on the note are the workers who worked in Arnold's factory, use your fastest speed to find them, it doesn't matter if you can't find them, you can find four or five."
"Then ask them to testify in court on Friday, you can give them some money, but when you give the money, you must explain that it is to compensate them for lost work, not to use the money to ask them to testify."
As he spoke, he took out 30 pounds of cash: "This is the commission for this commission." ”
Hugh took 20 pounds: "That's enough." With that, she put on her hat and immediately went out.
Hobert said to the slow-swallowing Furth, "I will also give you a commission, go to Viscount Gleilint's mansion, inform him and Miss Audrey, and say that I will hold an emergency meeting of the 'Justice League' tomorrow morning." ”
With that, he took out a 2-pound bill from his wallet.
But Forth only drew one pound of it: "Just send a letter, one pound is enough." ”
She began to speed up her meal.
Hobert immediately went out after saying hello, while the two stalkers were at the door, smoking arrogantly while staring at Hobart.
Hobart walked forward like no one else, and as he passed them, Hobart suddenly approached them, raised his foot, and stomped hard!
Boom~
The sound of bones breaking in the arch of the foot.
The person who was stepped on screamed and screamed, holding his foot and jumping in place in pain.
Before the other stalker could understand what was going on, Hobert raised his foot again and stomped hard!
So two people appeared on the street, holding their feet, jumping around in place.
Hobert smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I stepped on your feet, please be careful when you walk in the future, otherwise I may accidentally step on your heads." ”
With that, Hobert called a cab and drove away, leaving only two men holding their feet and crying.
The pedestrians on the street are a little strange, don't they just step on their feet? As for the pain like this?
Hobert rode the carriage to the Obsidian Bar first, and after tipping the bartender, he asked him to ask Ms. Daly to come over.
Ten minutes later, a dark-haired lady in her thirties returned with the bartender: "Introduce yourself, Lorota, your new connector." ”
She has a good look and dresses more masculine, which gives her a unique androgynous beauty.
Hobert was stunned: "What about Ms. Dali?" ”
Wouldn't it be because he failed to save Dunn that he wouldn't be his own connector?
Lorota whispered, "She participated in the Red Glove, she just left today, and I will connect with you later." ”
Hobart nodded slowly: "I see, hello Ms. Lorota, my name is Hobert, believe I don't need to introduce myself in too much detail, right?" ”
"No, you don't." Lorota smiled, "You are a special exception in the entire kingdom of Rune's Night Watch team. ”
She asked, "Is there anything that is up to you when you get paid?" ”
Hobert couldn't laugh or cry, who told you I couldn't wait to get paid?
He asked rhetorically, "Do you know about Bob's case?" ”
"I've heard of it."
"Recently, the defendant Arnold is using some despicable means to try to win the lawsuit." Hobart said, "I want to ask you to protect Mr. Bob in the last day or two, if he dies, this lawsuit will not be able to continue." ”
Lorota said, "The church also takes this case very seriously, and I think the captain will definitely send someone to protect Mr. Bob when he gets your news." ”
Hobert picked up his cane and prepared to get up: "Then please." ”
Then he suddenly thought, "By the way, when I happened to meet Zilingers before, I asked Captain Thomas to help me pick up the cane I left on the spot."
"I forgot to ask last time I went to the security company, is the cane there?"
Lorota was stunned: "There are no canes on the scene." ”
"It's an ebony stick."
"There are no ebony sticks either." Lorota said: "I was at the scene, and the captain also talked about it, and I didn't find the cane you mentioned. ”
Hobert had a bad premonition: "Picked up!" ”
At that time, Duckholm's home was miserable, and the people around him probably ran away screaming after just one look, and there was only a small chance that they would be taken away.
It is more likely that someone purposefully took the cane.
This is the second "Wood of Order" that has not been recovered, and if it weren't for its high personality and sufficient anti-divination properties, Hobert would now have considered joining the Night Watch team entirely.
Lorota asked, "Is that cane special?" ”
"Nothing." Hobart smiled, "I just remembered it all of a sudden. ”
