Episode 11 Adjudication

"My lord, this is a ripening agent that our chamber of commerce has secretly conspired to make the fruit ripen and market faster. Apex truthfully explained the effect of the black powder and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Go on. Berry gestured.

"A few days ago, the secret recipe of our Chamber of Commerce was stolen, and a badge of the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce was lost. I suspect they did it!" With an angry roar, Apside pointed directly at Ai Xue, who was sitting in the chief.

Ai Xue just glared at Apade, but did not open her mouth to refute.

"We have ...... too" Zero stopped suddenly, and we also had evidence, she couldn't say that. [Monthly timepiece] A good-looking novel debuted [] Monthly timepiece 1

Apaid's move was extremely insidious, and the initiative immediately returned to the hands of the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce, which originally had no evidence. Zero hateful itchy teeth.

That's right, as long as Ai Xue and the others take out the black "color" powder and badge, Ai Paed can be sure that they stole the thing, and stab the snow wheal with the face of a poor victim.

Everyone present was amazed by Apade's methods, they were just a group of teenagers and girls, how could they be the opponent of this old fritter?

"Damn!" Zero wanted to punch the table to vent her frustration, but her hands and feet were thrown in the restraints.

"Listen to our version, Your Excellency. Jessica's gaze stayed on the young Inquisitor, "Can you untie me first?"

"No problem, beautiful lady, I'm sure you won't be rash trying to get out of here. Berry motioned for his men to untie Jessica.

Jessica, who had just loosened her ties, shook her wrist, "Whew, it's a lot easier." Then she pulled out what Apside called the secret medicine and badge from her clothes.

"Look, sir, I'm not wrong. They're clearly going to confess!" Epiid growled, but Zero could hear a little weakness in his heart. Perhaps Apex didn't expect that in this case, Jessica would still dare to show these two pieces of evidence that were not beneficial to him at all.

"Beautiful girl, until you are found guilty, you have the right to speak on an equal footing with Mr. Eppart, and I am listening to you whether it is a brilliant defense or not. Berry's unhurried speech also made Apade's face a little more embarrassed.

"We are mercenaries from the Kingdom of Liberl, and we have been retaliated against for violating the interests of the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce in order to escort the melon merchant Gal from Beluk here. It is well known that ripe fruits can start to rot and become moldy, and eating these spoiled fruits can easily lead to diarrhea. Jessica pointed to Spear in the plaintiff's seat, "It's him, who wants to use the chamber of commerce's ripening agent to spoil our watermelons, whether it's not being able to sell it and being lazy in their hands, or being eaten and having an accident after selling it, they like to see it." Fortunately, our ruse has long been discovered by us, and we have staged a good show of waiting for the rabbit. I'm a water magician, so I collected the powder that had been sprayed on the surface of the watermelon on the spot, and I took the man's badge with me. The two things that lie out here are the evidence. ”

"And that's just one side of the story. Berry didn't favor Jessica, "The evidence you were able to provide happened to contradict the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce, how could you make me believe you and not the Chamber of Commerce?

"I used invisibility spells, and I also mixed the replica with the real thing. Jessica continued.

"If what you say is true, then how do you explain that you prepared a copy of the badge in advance? ”

"It wasn't prepared in advance at all, it was made on the spot. As long as there are materials, I can make that kind of thing at any time. Jessica was still confident, and there was a hint of playfulness in her unwavering tone.

Berry didn't reply immediately, but pondered for a moment. The air was filled with invisible smoke.

Then, he spoke slowly, "Looks like I got two different answers." ”

Berry "rubbed" his "temples", and Zero believed that this guy was more pretending, obviously not at all like he was distressed by the case.

"Mr. Epide, can you provide enough evidence to prove that what the other party says is false?"

"I'm very sorry. We can't provide more evidence, the watermelons have been identified by experts, there is no problem, the only thing that is certain is that all the people who ate the watermelon on the first day suffered from it, and this is absolutely inseparable from them.

"Where's Miss Jessica?"

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, and I don't have anything more to say. ”

"Well, I guess I can probably make a judgment. "Until then, I'd like to be confirmed again." Can you guarantee that every testimony in this court is absolutely true?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Berry turned to look at Nabotan. The latter gives an affirmative look.

"Very well, then I'll start pronouncing the sentence. As the hammer fell, Berry's voice became solemn, "In the name of Berry Royce, it has been determined that the Snow Wind Mercenary Group has nothing to do with this case, and he is acquitted. ”

"What?!" Epide couldn't believe that the other party had cleared his name so quickly.

The guards immediately untied Zero and Ai Xue and the others.

"Since neither side can prove the guilt of the other, it is natural to make a fair judgment based on the principle of presumption of innocence. Besides, if there is a contradiction between the words and deeds of the two sides, one of them must be deceiving, and since I am not going to pursue this crime, don't some people intend to restrain themselves a bit?"

"I'm not convinced, why are you so quick to conclude that we're lying and they're right?" Epied jerked up from his seat, apparently intending to make a final struggle.

"Let me explain. Alice stood up as well, "Bond of truth, yes, Your Honor. ”

"Why...... You know?" This is a secret technique passed down from his family, and there is no reason for an outsider to know its name and specific effects.

"There is a guy among the people I know who is proficient in using this move, and thanks to him, Jessica and I are completely immune to this move, let alone the current half-level of Cheng DΓΉ. But the uncle over there probably didn't realize that he had been tricked a long time ago. It seems that there is a certain reason why fairness, justice and openness are missing the last one. ”

"Does it matter what you say? In that case, the truth of your friend's description will be again doubted by me. Berry probed Alice, who was unable to 'figure out' the black-haired girl's routine.

"It doesn't matter, we have no reason to frame our own people. Now that you know that you are a user of the Bond of Truth, it is easy to do. Alice raised her arm and pointed her fingertips at Apade, "To see if this guy is lying, I'll ask you a few questions, and you just need to answer yes and no?"

Berry reluctantly lifted his forehead, when did he fall from the inquisitor to the position of being called at will, but under the words of the dark-haired girl, he felt that it was understandable to do so.

The next time is the confrontation between Alice and Epide.

"Our lawful actions have harmed the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Alice deliberately added the special qualifier "legal", and Epide couldn't deny it.

"Yes. ”

"So the Chamber of Commerce has malicious intentions towards us. ”

"Yes. "[Moontimer] good-looking novel debuted [] Moontimer 1

"The Chamber of Commerce has retaliated against us in a targeted manner over this matter. ”

"Nope. Apex replied quickly, but couldn't hide the tremor in his voice.

"You sent people to sprinkle ripening agents on the watermelons so that they would speed up. ”

"Nope. ”

"Once successful, our watermelons either rotted in the car or were sold and eaten by people causing massive diarrhea. ”

"How is that possible?" beads of sweat kept pouring out of Apaid's forehead.

"If you influence Yan zhΓ²ng, you can take the hand of the court to retaliate against us. ”

"There is no such thing!"

"I'm done. ”

Alice turned around and looked up at Berry, and the moment their eyes met, Berry felt an illusion as if he was about to be sucked into the abyss.

"What will happen to this guy, I'm still looking forward to it, isn't it, Judge~"

It's the mischievous tone that never changes.
