Early in the morning, the arbitral tribunal.

However, at 8 o'clock in the morning, nearly 100 people gathered outside the arbitration court, whether they were juries or lawyers, were about to participate in the final arbitration later.

Andu looked at Kenneth in the crowd, walked up to him and said, "I want to ask you to add a few more witnesses to today's arbitration." ”

Kenneth looked at Andu hesitantly and said, "You should know the fundamental meaning of this case. ”

Andu said calmly, "I know, but the purpose of my coming here is for the most just trial, and I believe you understand what I mean, right, lawyer Kenneth?"

Kenneth looked at Andu deeply and thoughtfully, "Have you figured it out?"

On the street outside the arbitration tribunal, there were not many pedestrians coming and going, and Andu looked at the busy work of a vendor in the distance, and said seriously: "Very clear." ”

......

In the empty courtroom, a lawyer in a suit and leather shoes was waving his arms and passionately defending his case, all pointing directly at the opposite shopkeeper, Mr. Claude, who was trembling and afraid to speak.

Claude was about fifty years old, his unkempt beard showed that he was not a man of great concern for detail and decency, and his left leg in a plaster cast hung limply from his wheelchair, and he sat there with a dodgy expression, seemingly unconcerned about the arguments made by Darcy's lawyer.

As the judge, Andu sat at the head of the presiding judge, looking at the one-sided situation in the courtroom, his face was calm and did not say a word, and the barrister hired by Darcy refuted it for more than ten minutes, and only after the accusations against Claude did he look at the supreme judge of this courtroom, Judge Lawrence, with a serious face.

"Dear Presiding Judge, as far as I have just summed up, I have sufficient reasons to prove that Mr. Claude's lawsuit is meaningless and unjustified, and I ask the Presiding Judge to give Mr. Claude the judgment he deserves, so that the law of Halma can be better upheld!

Let those who only know the unreasonable who are fearless in quarrels and entanglements understand thoroughly what a sacred and righteous occasion the Inquisition is and which does not tolerate the slightest blasphemy!"

Barrister Layton's impassioned remarks provoked a chorus of pandering in the room, and Presiding Judge Lawrence had to bang the hammer in front of him and say "silence" on both sides before suppressing the echo.

Lawrence, who was wearing a gray wig, looked at the cowering Claude with unquestioning eyes, and a sense of majesty spread invisibly, and everyone followed the presiding judge's gaze to the poor man in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Claude, do you have anything else to argue?"

Lawrence's voice was not loud, but clear enough, and a short sentence resounded throughout the courtroom, throwing all the questions to Claude and his lawyers.

The lawyer who was hired by Claude at zero time before didn't even raise his head, just stood in his position, pulling his sleeves, and everyone present didn't seem to care about the lawyer's reaction, everyone seemed to have forgotten, in fact, Claude also had his own exclusive lawyer.

Claude's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything, he lowered his acquiescence to the other party's remarks, and this reaction made the jury happy, and more than ninety percent of the people reacted as they should, and of course, they should have been, after all, Darcy had spent a lot of energy for them.

There were many people, only a few people showed desperate looks, namely a middle-aged woman, and two young men in their thirties, they bowed their heads deeply, and couldn't bear to look at it again, this incomprehensible scene, they had never been like this moment, so clearly realized, what kind of era this is.

Lawrence's stiff face did not have a trace of expression, and he, who had been in the position of presiding judge for many years, looked at the farce in front of him, picked up the judgment hammer in front of him, and immediately knocked it down.

"Wait!"

An abrupt voice came from the back of the jury, a young man with a big cap and a pair of smart eyes swirling back and forth, he sorted out his slightly nervous mood, and said word by word according to the words he had memorized before.

"Judge, I don't think this case is as Lawyer Layton said, and I think that Mr. Darcy's wanton use of threats, violence, intimidation and other means during the trial seriously threatened the law and order of Halma!"

The young man spoke very slowly, in order to let everyone hear his words clearly, he could even pause for half a second after each sentence, and when he finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Andu, who was in the position of the presiding judge.

After receiving Andu's affirmative smile and eyes, the thief Robert mustered up the courage to continue: "Just last year, Mr. Darcy, a well-known wealthy merchant in Halma, was also summoned to the trial court because he was involved in a stone transfer case, and I remember that it was the judge who accepted it, right?"

Lawrence's eternal expression, after being paralyzed for two seconds, said in an affirmative, steady tone: "Yes, I still remember that case, but there is no direct connection between the two, this gentleman. ”

Robert took a deep breath and suddenly said loudly: "However, the stone merchant was found dead in his own house the following week, and his wife and son died mysteriously within the next half a month, and most importantly, their family's stone business finally fell into the name of Mr. Darcy. ”

Robert paused, looked at the angry eyes of the people around him, and Darcy's gloomy expression, his back felt cold, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "At the same time, I have brought relevant witnesses, including the neighbors of the stone merchants, and the clerk of their house, may I ask Your Excellency, can you let them speak?"

Lawrence looked at Robert on the field, his eyes were cloudy, and his old appearance made it easy to ignore his identity, and he said in an absolutely authoritative and solemn tone: "Of course you can!"

Robert secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at the certification arranged by zero hour, a middle-aged man, and a store attendant.

"Name your name and your relationship to the deceased person. The deputy presiding judge on the side took the initiative to remind the two of them.

"Well, my name is Jack, a former neighbor of the stone merchant Wollman. Jack, a middle-aged man, said a little nervously.

"I'm Peder, a former clerk under Mr. Wollman. The waiter said calmly.

"Now, tell your testimony. The deputy presiding judge spoke.

"Well, it happened one evening last year, I was at home preparing for the work of the statistics, it was about seven o'clock, I remember very well, I was about to make another pot of tea, and I heard a quarrel next door, and the sound of something being broken, and then there was a loud noise, and then there was no sound. ”

The middle-aged man Jack finished nervously, and secretly glanced at the presiding judge Lawrence, because of the position, he didn't notice that behind his body, Darcy's face was already extremely ugly, which also gave him the courage to say the rest of the words.

"The next day, Mr. Wollman was found drowned in his home, and there were a number of police officers, but that wasn't the most important ......," said Jack, who hesitated.

Seeing Jack's sudden stage fright at this time, Robert felt anxious, and before he could react, a clear voice suddenly came.

"Mr. Jack, I hope you can understand that the place where you are is the Holy Inquisition, since you have come here, any falsehood, fabrication, and concealment is illegal, I hope you can understand the purpose of your coming here. ”

Andu looked at Jack calmly, his words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Jack seemed to remember something, his body suddenly shuddered, and he shuddered: "But the first to find me was not the police, it was two young men, they told me that as long as I didn't hear anything that night, my bookstore would be open forever, otherwise...... Otherwise, something similar to Mr. Wolman's will happen!"

I was scared, I was afraid of being killed, so for a while, I lived in my own bookstore, because I was alone without a wife and children, so there was no news about it. After Jack finished speaking, he found that his clothes were soaked, and the sticky sticky was extremely uncomfortable.

Lawrence watched Jack's every movement until he finished before asking, "Didn't the police come to you for questioning?"

Jack shook his head and said, "No, I wonder why no one came to my bookstore to look for me, but the truth is, no one really came to ask me for my confession." ”

Lawrence continued: "Then why are you here today to say that?"

Jack trembled, "I have met the revelation of my Lord, who has led me here......"

Jack's last sentence was undoubtedly full of loopholes, and Lawrence couldn't tell the result, so he turned his attention to another witness, the young waiter Peder.

Young Pedder did not have Jack's fear and cowardice, he stepped forward, resisted the fence in front of him, pointed his left hand straight at Darcy in the distance, and said firmly: "This is the man, he killed my former boss, the kind Mr. Wolman family!"

Barrister Layton could no longer sit idly by, he stood up gracefully, looked at the chief judge with an inquiring gaze, and only after receiving an affirmative look did he slowly turn to young Peder, who straightened his neckline, and questioned loudly with a majestic gaze and a critical gesture.

"Sir, please pay attention to your wording, without sufficient evidence, you blatantly slander my defender in such a blatant manner, it is slander, and it is a practice of fabricating facts and distorting the truth!"

The young Peder was not overwhelmed by the other party's aggressive momentum, he sneered and said: "When Mr. Wolman disappeared for no reason during the trial, and after he died, you sent someone to get his previous account books from me, you didn't expect such a day!!"
