Chapter 971 Case Progress
"My lord and madam, it's time to go down and entertain the guests." Mrs. Danvers said coldly to the Wenders couple. Such a shameful incident will not be tolerated!"

"Danvers, thank you for having the nerve to say it! Tonight's dance has become such a mess, isn't it all because of your bad intentions, trying to provoke my relationship with Daphne?" Mr. Wenders angrily scolded the housekeeper, "Sinister Old bitch, I will drive you out of Manderley Manor!"

"Hehe...Master, you'd better not be so impulsive." Mrs. Danvers boldly threatened in front of her master, "Don't forget, I have the evidence that you murdered Rebecca, if you dare to fire I, my poor woman who is desperate, have no choice but to report to the police station, sir, you don't want to make trouble like that, do you?"

"Don't threaten me with things I haven't done, you despicable snake, if you dare to be presumptuous, I'll—"

"Are you going to shoot me, as you did Rebecca?"

Mrs. Danvers interrupted Mr. Wenders with a grim laugh.

"My lord, I have already written a suicide note, and I have written everything I know in it, and handed it over to a trustworthy person for safekeeping. If I die in an unknown way like Rebecca, that person will know, You are also the murderer!"

"No one will believe your lies, I am innocent!"

Mr. Wenders' rebuttal sounded so pale and weak.

Mrs. Danvers sneered, and said lightly: "Wait until I present the evidence and see who will believe your sophistry."

Mr. Wenders waved his hand like a deflated ball, and said weakly, "Get out, I don't want to see you again!"

Mrs. Danvers turned away, her head held high, like a fighting cock returning from Desheng.

Soon thereafter, the Wenders couple also walked out of the gallery and went downstairs with heavy thoughts.

Musk and Lisa remained invisible, returned downstairs, found a secluded place to release their invisibility, pretended to be nonchalant, and mixed into the crowd in the living room.

……

The masquerade ball at Manderley Manor ended in an unpleasant way.

Musk and Lisa returned home and agreed on the Wenders' views.

Judging from the clues collected tonight, Daphne obviously has nothing to do with the case, and it is sympathetic to be passively involved in this turmoil.

Maxime Wenders, although he denied murdering his ex-wife in front of Daphne and Mrs. Danvers, but his defense was not convincing, veiled, and there were many contradictions, which could not remove the suspicion of killing his wife .

Mrs. Danvers, the housekeeper of Manderley Manor, is undoubtedly the most critical witness in this case.

Judging from the tone of her words, she seemed to have been to the scene of the crime, and even witnessed Maxim's murder of Rebecca.

But this old woman is not innocent either.

Before Rebecca got married, she was a personal maid. When Rebecca married Maxim, she was also brought into Manderley Manor and promoted to be a housekeeper. It can be said that she is the most trusted subordinate around Rebecca. people.

Mrs. Danvers's words and deeds fully showed her admiration for Rebecca. In this case, she should go to the police station and report the murder of Maxim Wenders to the police immediately.

But she did not do so, and continued to stay in Manderley Manor as a housekeeper, serving the murderer she identified as a wife murderer, and using the evidence she possessed as an excuse to blatantly threaten Maxim Wenders, which shows that she is also a A greedy person.

In the balance in her heart, protecting her own interests was more important than justice for Rebecca.

The Manderley Manor, shrouded in suspicion, has become the stage for Maxim, Daphne and Danvers to play games. On the surface, they maintain a peaceful state, but in fact this fragile balance is easily broken, making those who hide in the The dirty inside story under the veil of luxury is exposed to the public.

Sure enough, just a week after the Masquerade Ball was held at Manderley Manor, there was a major development in the wife killing case.

Lieutenant Colonel Jack Favre, with Mrs Danvers, the former housekeeper of Manderley, who was fired by Mr Wenders, gave new evidence to the court.

On the night of the incident, Mrs. Danvers saw Mr. Wenders break into the dock by the sea with a shotgun and had a fierce quarrel with Rebecca. Shortly thereafter, there was a gunshot.

After that, Mr. Wenders dragged his wife's body into the sailboat, sailed out to sea, and came back in the lifeboat alone in the middle of the night.

Mrs Danvers swore in court that her testimony was verbatim and that she had successfully passed all polygraph tests including "leading a confession", "field of honesty" and "identifying lies".

In the face of Mrs. Danvers' allegations, Mr. Wenders chose to remain silent, which meant that he had to stay in the detention center and wait for the official trial as a wife murder suspect.

If his lawyer can't make a defense that satisfies the jury in court, his end will be hanged.

On the afternoon that Mr. Wenders was taken away from Manderley by the police, Musk's office received an unexpected visitor.

"Daphne, what you should do now is to hire a good lawyer for your husband." Lisa poured a cup of coffee for the tear-stained Mrs. Wenders, and said sympathetically, "Under the current situation, I I'm afraid I can't help you with Musk."

"Mrs. Wenders, I have obtained a lawyer's license, but I haven't attended a court defense so far. Frankly speaking, I am better at standing up for my client in the duel arena. However, the case your husband is involved in, With all due respect, it does not qualify for a judicial duel."

Only when both the prosecution and the defense cannot produce strong evidence and the facts of the case are difficult to decide, can the court close the case in a judicial duel.

Just like the famous fable: How to quickly untangle the tangled hemp rope?
The protagonist of the story, a legendary emperor in history, chose to cut the mess with a knife.

This approach is essentially a sneaky change of concept, opportunistic.

Judicial duels are like cutting through the knots quickly, using a legal cloak of private revenge to solve the public prosecution case.

This opportunistic way of closing a case can only be done occasionally, and must not be abused, otherwise the legal provisions will become a display, and the authority of the court will be replaced by naked violence.

Mr. Wenders is currently a suspect in the murder of his wife, and there are all witnesses and evidence. Even if the judge's mind is flooded, he will not be allowed to escape prosecution through a judicial duel.
