Pirate Warm Sea

Chapter 284
On the main seat, Seuss looked coldly at the ten justices under him.Although it has been five years since he entered the Supervisory Office, so far he has only grasped the superficial sovereignty.In private, various forces still grab power in his ministry.

For example, some of the ten people below are Prime Minister Beredru's people.

Coincidentally, this time, through the Gao Wen incident, the conflict between the foreign relatives and the prince was brought to the fore, and he could use this conference to find out all the "inner ghosts" hiding in his department!

In the trial court, Gao Wen was escorted by court guards to the detention room with a fine steel chain.

Gao Wen walked into the room, and at this moment a justice wearing a judge's uniform was facing away from him.

"Boom—" the door was closed, and Gao Wen sat on the chair directly. There was still a bottle of whiskey that he hadn't finished today on the table in front of him.

It seems that the Palace of Fontainebleau has long been infiltrated by various forces. I don't know if my sister is still safe.

"His Highness Gao Wen." The man turned his head and smiled.

Gao Wen got himself a glass of wine, "Would you like a glass?" He knew the judge in front of him, the one who tried him just now.

"Your Highness, you are welcome." Belly opened the chair and sat across from Gawain. Seeing that Gawain was just holding the wine glass, he also got a glass for himself, and said with a smile, "Good wine should not be wasted."

Toast Gao Wen, and drank the fine wine in the glass by himself.After drinking a glass of wine, Beeri's face began to turn red. It was obvious that the judge did not drink often.

"Your Highness, do you still remember your appointment with Lord Seuss?" Beeri asked.

Gawain put down his wine glass, and kept flicking the crisp glass with his right middle finger.Amidst the blowing sounds like wind chimes, Gawain kept looking at Belly opposite him with no expression on his face.

After a long time, he said, "Of course I remember, but I don't know if Uncle still remembers his promise."

"Of course." Belly placed a list in front of Gao Wen, and replied, "This is the list of the jury this time. Except for the two members of the navy, the remaining ten are all judges of the procuratorate. .”

"Except for the four justices who are away on business trips, the rest of you are all here. At this meeting, Lord Seuss will identify which ones are loyal and which ones are ghosts."

"Then I'll wait here for good news from Lord Seuss."

Belly frowned and corrected, "Yes—uncle."

"Yes!" Gao Wen smiled, "Uncle!"

……

Cobb stared at Ed, who responded to him, his face became extremely ugly.His heart was heaving, but looking at Ed's strong figure, and his own head had already had gray hair on his temples, he finally swallowed back the anger in his chest.

"How about we have a round of voting?" Suss suggested, "But this time, I hope to vote anonymously, so that everyone can write down their truest thoughts."

The ten judges talked a lot, as if they didn't understand why the anonymous vote was suddenly adopted.

Seuss distributed the prepared paper and pens, and all the members of the jury wrote down their thoughts on the paper.Some people think for a long time, some people write immediately, and some people turn the pen in their hands and look absent-minded.

Suss put the papers back, opened them one by one and said:

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

"Not guilty!"

The justices looked at the two marines sitting at the end, and naturally understood that they had voted for the two acquittal votes.Seuss picked up the last ticket and opened it.

Everyone stared at Seuss' facial expression, but to their disappointment, there was no wave on the Inspector General's face.

Looks like another guilty ticket!The judges breathed a sigh of relief, quietly thinking about how to persuade the two navies.

At this moment, Suss opened his mouth and said, "The last one..."

He threw the white paper in his hand on the table, and everyone immediately looked at the note, some with disbelief, and some with relief.

"Not guilty!" Seuss read coldly, and then his sharp eyes scanned everyone's faces.Many justices lowered their heads, not daring to just look at Seuss.

"Who?"

An angry voice sounded in the room, Seuss raised his head, and Cobb No. [-] on his left questioned everyone present angrily.

"Yeah, I have to find a way to persuade another one." Walden said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Since it's an anonymous vote, there's no need to make it public!" Ed's voice sounded, and he looked at Seuss and Cobb without fear.

"Is it you!" Cobb asked angrily, pointing at Ed.

Ed stood up and said coldly, "Say it again?"

Joel was a little surprised. Aren't everyone here the people who know the law best in this country?Do you want to fight like this?
He is a little messy, everyone is a scholar, can't they just sit down and talk calmly like myself?

Why does it feel like the parliaments of some countries in the previous life, quarreling at every turn, and even fighting like children?

"Sit down!" Seuss said lightly.

Ed glanced at Seuss, and finally sat down unhappy.

"Since it's anonymous, there's no need..."

"It's me." Before Seuss finished speaking, Field, the first judge among the ten judges to question, weakly raised his hand under Cobb's angry eyes.

"You traitor!" Cobb was like a drugged mad dog, biting everyone he saw.

"Cobb!" Suss slapped the table and stared at Cobb beside him, "Again, this is the Office of Supervision, and you are one of the sixteen justices in the Office of Inspection, so watch your words and deeds!"

Cobb leaned his head back on the chair and looked out the window to himself.

Seuss glanced at Cobb's back viciously, and then asked Field, "What's your reason for changing the ticket?"

"It's still the same reason, why did His Highness Gawain appear in that room." Field slowly expressed his thoughts, "Suppose, let's assume first. Suppose His Highness Libo really called Prince Gawain there What about a room?"

"There is no way to prove this!" No. [-] Klugman suddenly said: "His Royal Highness Libo is lying in the trauma and can't speak at all. It is impossible to prove the truth of His Highness Gao Wen's words."

"Yes, it cannot be proved to be true." Field said, "But there is no way to prove that it is false, right?"

Klugman: "..."

"In this case, if we put all the blame on His Royal Highness Libo, will there be no way to hold His Highness Gawain accountable?" Marshall asked.

"But in fact His Highness Gao Wen didn't do that." No. [-] Weber said.

"Gentlemen, I need to emphasize!" No. [-] Voskovich said again: "You guys are discussing motives here, I don't think it's necessary at all!"

"You know, His Highness Gao Wen was caught by the patrol officers of the Supervision Office!"

"According to the report of the patrolling soldiers, when they rushed into the house, His Highness Gawain was in the victim's room, and his saber was stuck in the victim's chest!"

He stretched out his right index finger and kept poking the table, speaking passionately, just like a general motivating his soldiers on the battlefield.

"Then may I ask." Joel suddenly smiled and said, "Patrolling soldiers, oh no, is there anyone in your country who can catch Gawain?"

The judges looked at each other when they heard Joel's words, and suddenly remembered a terrifying fact.Gao Wen was different from the prisoners they used to judge. He was an absolute strong man standing on the top of the sea.

"No." Ed replied honestly: "I think Lord Baishi is very clear about His Highness Gawain's strength. There is indeed no one who can catch His Highness Gawain in McHackle."

"Then since Gawain really killed someone." Joel asked with a smile, "Why didn't he run away?"

yes.Why didn't His Highness Gao Wen run away?

"Maybe..." Voskovich spun around his temple with his right hand a few times but didn't understand why.

"Because his surname is Galahad!" Cobb, who was sulking in his position, said again: "The Ombudsman has never really convicted a member of the royal family!"

"Because he knows that even if he is caught, the Office of Supervision will not convict him, so why did he run away?"

huh?Joel looked at Cobb with an excited face, the rain is over and the sky is clear, do you think you can do it again?Is it because your ult has finished cooling down?

"Cobb!" Seuss reprimanded sharply, "Be careful!"

"Hmph!" Facing Suss' reprimand, he didn't refute, but just snorted coldly.

"Continue." Seuss nodded to Joel.

"Then why doesn't he run now, is your fine steel chain locked him firmly?" Joel asked.

"We haven't convicted him yet." Luke German said with a smile, "Why are you running? As you said, no one can stop him anyway. It's not too late to run away after betraying him."

"But..." Joel spread his right hand, the sun was burning in his palm, "I'm here, as a member of the world government, don't you ask for naval support?"

"Or do you think Gawain can escape from me?"

"That's not sure." Walden shook his head in a strange way and said, "After all, you are classmates."

"Do you think I'm you?" Joel laughed.

"You..." Walden was laughed ironically, and immediately sat up straight, but seeing the flames flowing from Joel's right hand, he resolutely faltered.

"That's why in Gao Wen's mind, he thinks he's not guilty, so he stayed and waited for your fair sentencing." Joel said, looking at the eleven judges in front of him.

"I hope you will make your own fair judgment instead of following others' opinions!"

Several of the judges immediately looked in the opposite direction as soon as they met Joel's gaze.

"I would like to add that I think the most retarded part of the whole case." Xi Ti smiled faintly: "According to the witness's testimony, she saw the victim being killed at [-]:[-] in the evening."

"However, Gao Wen was arrested on the spot by the Supervisory Office at twelve o'clock. What did Gao Wen do during the hour, three and ten minutes?"

"You ladies, you didn't listen carefully." Marshall added, "Consistent with that lady's testimony, at [-]:[-], an old man who lived downstairs from that child also heard something fall on the ground. Voices from the ground."

"Then he walked to the corridor curiously and just in time saw His Highness Gao Wen walking down the stairs."

"Yeah." Xie Ti nodded, and asked again: "How long did he say it took him to get to the stairs?"

"Uh..." Marshall couldn't remember, and was about to look through the transcript, and Joseph said, "23 seconds!"

"It's 32 seconds!" Klugman said.

"It's 23 seconds." Marshall said with certainty after checking the notes.

"Then do you think a disabled person who is over 23 years old and still sitting in a wheelchair has the ability to get from a bed to a wheelchair and pass a ten-meter-long corridor in [-] seconds?"

"Or is he perjury?"

"Maybe the old man misremembered it?" Cobb said coldly, "What does it matter if it's ten seconds away?"

"You don't care about ten seconds, it decides a person's life and death!" Xiti's face turned frosty instantly, and said coldly: "Are all your judges in McHackle as arbitrary animals as you?"

"I..." Cobb clenched his fists.

"I don't think so." Webber said, "Let's not say 23 seconds, even if it's really 32 seconds, I don't think it's enough."

"So he's perjuring!" Ed said coldly, someone dared to perjure in the Supervisory Office!

"Assuming that Gao Wen really killed someone, why did he return to the crime scene after he left?" Xi Ti continued to ask.

"Ma'am, don't forget, we found a bloody blue prince's suit in Gawain's bedroom, which is exactly what His Highness Gawain often wears!" Marshall said, "Maybe he just went back to change?"

"And then come back and wait to be caught?" Hitti asked.

Marshall frowned, indeed, this doesn't make sense anyway.As a well-trained vice admiral, it is impossible for Gao Wen to make the mistake of returning to the crime scene.

"What about the sword?" Cobb asked, "What about the Lancelot? That is the famous sword that His Majesty the King used the whole country to forge when he was born! He was stuck on the child's chest at that time! "

"Can I see that sword?" Hitti asked.

"Yes." Suss nodded, and then asked someone to fetch the Lancelot.

"Thank you." Hitty took Lancelot and weighed it and handed it to Joel. Joel flicked the murder weapon lightly.

"How is it?" Hitty asked.

"It's true." Joel returned the sword to Seuss and said.

"See, now you say that?" Cobb said proudly.

Hitty and Joel fell silent, and the room fell into dead silence again.

"I propose another vote," Seuss said.

"A show of hands agreeing to innocence."

Joel and Hitty raised their hands first, and Field immediately raised his own.Weber hesitated for a moment, and the fourth raised his hand.After thinking for a while, Ed also raised his hand.

"Five votes!"

"Agree to the guilty show of hands."

"Excuse me, can I abstain?" Walden said suddenly.

"Of course, your power at this time!" Seuss replied.

"No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and my No. [-], a total of six votes."

Cobb looked coldly at Number Two, Number Ten, and Number Six.

"Maybe..." Xiti said suddenly, "Is my direction wrong from the beginning?"

"Which direction?" Marshall asked.

"Reminiscent of what happened in your royal family recently, could someone be framing Gao Wen?" Xiti said.

The complexion of all the people present changed, and they could not talk about matters related to the royal power.

"Like His Royal Highness Pisces and His Royal Highness Libo?" Marshall frowned with a chill behind his back.

"Yes, let's say someone framed Gao Wen. I remember correctly that the two princes were not in trouble at the time." Xiti reasoned: "Someone wanted to harm Gao Wen and make him lose the right to inherit the throne. Elibo In the name of the prince, he tricked him to that place and set up such a murder scene."

"This explains why the lady in the building opposite saw the murder first, and then Gao Wen went to the scene of the crime."

Marshall thought about the possibility in Hitty's words, and said for a long time, "Let me think about it."

All the judges looked at each other when they heard Hitty's words, and everyone saw panic in each other's eyes.

"Now the third round of voting begins." Seuss said suddenly.

"Hands up innocent!"

As soon as the words fell, Joel, Hitty, Weber, Joseph, Ed, Marshall, and Field all raised their hands.In the end, Seuss himself raised his hand, and Walden also raised his hand pretending nothing happened.

A total of nine votes.

"Guilty hands up!"

Cobb raised his hand without hesitation, Klugman glanced awkwardly at Voskovich and raised his hand, and finally Voskovich had to raise his hand too.

"Three votes for guilt, nine votes for innocence!" Seuss' voice echoed coldly in the room.
