Chapter 100: It's a foregone conclusion

On April 30, 1411, the court on the fate of Carmon finally opened, and the trend of public opinion remained unchanged in the past few days, and the city government was still called on to severely punish the unforgivable criminal Carmon and execute the traitor as soon as possible.

The city government had no choice but to announce the only sentencing court that would begin at the end of April, a court that directly convicted Carmon of the final crime, and whether the final sentence was death or life imprisonment, both of which were doomed and irreversible.

And those who appeared in court, in addition to Dinot, Tapuvi and some media personnel, were important witnesses such as Isobello. In the defendant's seat sat Carmon, who had bowed his head and did not respond, and the plaintiff's seat was the key person Rafi Thorne.

There were more than 50 spectators in the verdict, and no one in the entire courtroom was able to defend Carmon, while Rafisohn had Siota to defend him. Soon, the judge and jury entered the courtroom, and the trial was about to begin.

"Defendant, do you have a lawyer to defend you?" the presiding judge did not mean to favor Carmon, but for the sake of justice, since the plaintiff had someone to defend him, then there should be someone on the defendant's side, "If you don't have a lawyer, you can only defend yourself." ”

"I... "Yes!"

Just when Carmon hesitated and wanted to say that he had no defender, suddenly a person walked in from outside the door, and when this person walked in, the entire courtroom was boiling, and many people stood up directly, even the presiding judge, and Carmon looked at the figure of the person at the door, his eyes widened and he was stunned.

This man is none other than Carmon's father, the once upright, kind and respected duke, Ron Zagolo!

"Father... Father??, why are you..."Carmon was dumbfounded, why did his father appear here? There were still people dealing with his father, trying to catch him, why did his father take such a big risk and appear in court?

"Luo... Duke Ron?Why is he here, Director?" "I'm afraid, because I'm worried about Lord Carmon, after all, they're father and son. And one more thing, Duke Ron was also involved in this turmoil before, and was falsely claimed to be the employer who hired the Holy Tide Organization, and he wanted to clear his suspicions. "Kill two birds with one stone... It seems that the current form is very delicate. From the sidelines, Tapuvi and Dinott whispered about why Duke Ron was here. Indeed, Carmon, who was originally inevitably guilty, now has a chance of reversing, and the original evidence of the crime will also be reversed and collapsed because of the arrival of Duke Ron.

"Then this trial is now officially begins!" After speaking, the presiding judge struck the hammer twice, let everyone do it, and prepared for the trial.

The reason why everyone will stand up when they see Duke Ron is because Duke Ron is a noble person, and the Duke of the Empire does not appear casually. Even if he is now stigmatized, he still has not been revoked, and the state agencies are still investigating hard evidence or defamatory evidence, so now, Ron is still the honorable duke.

"First of all, although this is a courtroom, everyone already knows why, so I won't say anything official, and let this verdict go quickly. First of all, the plaintiff provides the first piece of evidence, and we will take it one by one. "The traditional trial was too time-consuming, and the presiding judge didn't want to go on for so long, so he asked the plaintiff, Raffithorne, to submit the first piece of evidence, while Siotard presented the first piece of evidence, the deed.

"This contract was signed by Duke Ron and the leader of our organization, and then handed over to Mr. Rafithorne, the leader of the action team. Siotard showed the deed to the spectators, then to the presiding judge, and then gave it to the jury to peruse it, "and it was signed by the Duke of Ron, as well as by Mr. Rafitthorne and Lord Carmon. ”

"Forgive me for taking the plunge. In this day and age, signatures can be forged, as long as there is a complete letter or paper that the person has signed before, it can be copied. As an Imperial Duke, even though I am now burdened with inexplicable stigma, I am still a Duke, and each Imperial Duke has a special Duke's Seal, which is a unique seal issued by His Majesty the King to each Duke, and there is no second seal in the whole Empire, and only after the Duke's death or cancellation of the title will the seal be recovered by the Empire. Now, this seal is with me, and even if my child Carmon will sign an agreement with you, if this contract has my signature on it, but it does not have my seal, it means that I have not agreed to the reasonableness of this contract, and I will not enter into a partnership. Since I don't have my seal, but I have my signature, may I ask the plaintiff, why did I sign this contract?" Duke Ron seemed to be prepared, and explained the authenticity of the contract in one sentence, "Every Duke of the Empire, no matter what contract or contract he signs, must press his own seal to prove that it was personally approved and indeed signed. In this way, if the duke fails to fulfill the terms of the contract in the future, he can directly report to the empire, and the royal family will issue punishment or judgment against the duke. ”

Ron's defense made everyone in the entire court think about it. "Yes, why is there no seal?" and "How can the signature be explained, and who made it?" and so on, doubts began to appear, and the form began to change.

"We will not make a final decision on who the forger is, but forging the signature of the Duke of the Empire is also a capital crime! Now, please ask the plaintiff to provide a second clue. The presiding judge also saw the clues, but now was not the time to dwell on a signature and seal issue, and he had to let the trial continue.

"Yes, Your Excellency... This is the recipe for the magic bomb that Lord Carmon gave us, and how to make and use another magic weapon. Siota quickly provided a second piece of evidence, "Magic bombs and magic weapons are things like us that don't know how to use mana and have no clue, and only those who know how to use mana can create such weapons. ”

The second piece of evidence is also very mean and reasonable, but the expression on Duke Ron's face is still relaxed, as if he has already thought of this problem.

"The so-called magic bomb magic weapon, it is true that only those who have mana know how it works. But this knowledge is not exclusive, and many people also know how magic weapons are made, because in my country, there are apprentices who graduated from the magic kingdom of Romandy and returned home, and they know how powerful magic bombs are. And, as far as I know, the magic bomb needs more than just mana, there is a mineral crystal, which can also create unstable magic. ”

"It's the Resonance Crystal! Mr. Celeste told me about it, and Duke Grimes told him about it. Hearing a mineral crystal, Tapuvi said suddenly, and Dinott now understood that there was more than one way to make magic weapons.

"I've checked the information and know what the magic weapon that appeared this time looks like, but it's actually made through a magic bomb, which can be done by ordinary craftsmen, as long as there are enough raw materials, that is, a sufficient number of magic bombs. There is a crucial difference between the magic bomb made by using crystals and the magic bomb infused with chaos magic by the mage itself, and that is the purity of the magic power. The magic power created by the mage comes from his own body, and the magic power in each person's body is different, and if the magic power injected into the bomb is different before and after, the impact and scope of the magic explosion will also be different. The magic bomb created by crystallization, the explosion range and effect are fixed, in the previous explosion, each explosion range is within 100 meters in diameter, so such a fixed constant value, only the bomb made by the crystal can do, artificially controlled, and can not be so accurate. ”

Before going to the courtroom, Ron had already visited Krims, and Krims had told him these words, and Ron had come to such a conclusion through his own understanding and judgment. Another crucial piece of evidence has been overturned, and all the suspicious and manipulable points on Carmon's body are being cleared one by one.

And Carmon just stared blankly at his father's figure as he defended himself, and did not say anything, feeling only guilt and guilt in his heart.

"Your Excellency, I still have ...... here" Siota was anxious, the evidence he could provide was overturned one by one, and everything would be burned if it went on, he wanted to provide the next clue quickly, but Duke Ron spoke in advance.

"Your Excellency, I know what the accuser is trying to say, he wants to accuse the murder of a word, but before that, I want to have a witness appear. "Which witness?" "Sheriff Tapvi, who was unfortunately involved in the bombing at the bar. ”

Tapwi's name was suddenly mentioned, and all the onlookers were surprised, including Tapwi himself. He didn't even know that he was a witness, he thought that he was powerless for the whole trial, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when he had to appear in court.

Tapuvi immediately stood up and walked from the spectator to the judgment seat.

"The witnesses have arrived, so I will explain what happened from beginning to end. The series of cases began on March 6 and ended on April 19, but before April 18, there were no deaths of any Jihazard personnel, and the police did not see many Jihazard personnel during most of the operations. Is that right, Sheriff Tapvi?" Ron looked at the case and began to work backwards as it happened.

"It's... Yes, Lord Duke. The first time he came into contact with the Duke, Tapvi was a little nervous, "At the time of the bombing on March 6, we didn't find any suspicious people present, only suspicious packages. The suspects had already left long before we arrived at the scene and disarmed the explosives, and it was a time bomb, and they didn't have to detonate it themselves. ”

"Excuse me, when did you see the suspects of the Holy Tide?" (Ron)

"On the night of March 16, the day we carried out Operation Snake Lure, some of the rioters of the Holy Tide and Lord Carmon were discovered on the route designated by the convoy. At that time, a felon, 'Sidir', had already been abducted. (Tapwi)

"Okay. How many police officers or civilians have died in the aftermath of the explosion of the magic bomb in this series of events?" (Ron)

"Zero. (Tapwi)

"Good. That is, from the beginning to the end, there have been no deaths, only coma or injury, right? (Ron)

"Yes. (Tapwi)

"Then let's start reasoning again. The first fatality occurred on April 18, the day of the radio explosion, and the person who died on that day was Shidir, according to the autopsy report, Sidir died a month ago, during which time he had been in a cold place to alleviate the freezing phenomenon, and since he was found dead long ago, and he was rescued during the operation a month ago, the result is self-evident, no one knows who killed him. ”
