Arknights is too real, right?

Chapter 669 Key Witness

Facing Judge Weilantai's question, Xia Feng understood.

No wonder he didn't pursue the matter of forging his citizenship certificate just now. He was waiting for him here. Compared with the citizenship certificate, the problem at this moment is more fatal.

The judge asked him to prove that he was not an infected person a month ago, and he also had to produce an official hospital physical examination report. He could not produce this at any cost. Judging from the nature of the urine, Wei Na would definitely not be able to fake it.

In other words, if the fabrication is exposed in public, it is equivalent to admitting that he is the murderer.

As for asking him to tell the real murderer, this is even more impossible, because the real murderer is Lapland.

Lapland is an infected person, and her Originium skills are activated with weapons. Even if she did not use Originium skills when assassinating Lieqi, a small amount of the Originium substance left before would still remain on her two half-moon knives. .

And he himself is the only infected person in the Royal Academy. He really never expected to be like this before.

It was impossible for him to drag Lapland over to take the blame. It was Kuroyu who pulled the dog. This was basically the same as admitting it himself. It would only be buy one, get one free.

In the court, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Feng.

Whether they are outsiders, own people, or people who want to kill him, they are all waiting for his answer.

According to Lieqi's autopsy report, the murderer was an infected person, and he was the only infected person in the Royal Academy. This was like mud falling into his crotch, and it was impossible to tell.

According to the principle of presumption of guilt of special persons in the Royal Court, if no evidence can be provided to prove the time of infection, then there is no evidence, and if there is no evidence, then there is guilt.

Lawyer Kevin raised his hand anxiously.

"Your Honor, it is too hasty to determine the murderer based solely on the Source Stone material extracted from the deceased's body, and it does not comply with the relevant trial procedures."

A collegial judge next to him interrupted Kevin.

"Please understand that this is not a local court, nor does it comply with the Constitution of Victoria. This is the Royal Court. It is not you who has the final say whether it complies with the regulations."

Kevin gritted his teeth and continued.

"However, my client Xia Feng can provide evidence of his alibi that night. We have witnesses."

The judge shook his head.

"The number of witnesses must be more than 10, and their identity must be clean and transparent, and they must not be too close to the suspect."

"this"

There cannot be a close relationship, which means that the testimony of Ansel and the others may be invalid. As for Turtle and Ifrit, these two girls are essentially infected people who concealed their identities and went to school. If they are called to testify, they may lose compensation. He defeated his wife and defeated his troops.

After thinking quickly, Xia Feng, who had never spoken, raised his head.

"Your Honor, Mr. Silver Gray from Kalan Trading can testify for me. We will have dinner together that night."

The judge immediately rejected this evidence.

"According to the information provided by the Supervisory Office, Mr. Silver Gray cannot testify for you. First of all, he is not from Victoria. Secondly, he himself is also partially suspected. However, due to the fact that his identity has not been pursued excessively by the Supervisory Office, he cannot be yours." Witness.”

Xia Feng finally understood this time.

There is no reason to make sense here, and there is no reliance on normal laws and regulations.

The rules of the Royal Court are that there are no precise rules. It is ridiculous to talk about fairness and justice here. To put it bluntly, no matter how strong your evidence is, it is only one aspect. The most important thing is to make the judge believe you.

The chief judge is a member of the royal family. Although his judgment is absolutely fair, since he is a human being, he will have subjective tendencies and he will be uncontrollably inclined to his own values.

Lieqi's incident has a great impact on international relations. Faced with this kind of problem, both the Supervisory Office and the royal family want a proper explanation.

The Supervisory Office wanted to kill him, and the royal family wanted to know the real culprit. At this moment, these two intentions overlapped.

Weilantai touched his gray beard with his hand.

"Xia Feng, do you have anything else to explain? Or do you admit it?"

Xia Feng sighed.

"The murderer is not me, how could I admit it."

"But you can't prove you weren't the murderer."

If you want to accuse someone, there's no reason to hesitate. Looking at Judge Weilantai's aged silhouette, Xia Feng suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Honor, the Royal Court is directly under the royal family. Does that mean that members of the royal family will be absolutely impartial and will not say or do anything that goes against the truth?"

Wei Lan Tai looked at Xia Feng with an unselfish face.

"Of course, but this has nothing to do with what you need to explain. As a judge, I have my own judgment."

"I will only continue if you acknowledge the point I just made."

Weilantai frowned slightly.

"Okay, I admit that members of the royal family will be absolutely impartial and will not say anything contrary to the truth. You can say it."

Xia Feng's nervous expression relaxed at this moment.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough, or in other words, fortunately, Turtle's communication skills were relatively strong.

That night, Turtle's good friend Velisa was also at the party. Because of Khorne Peak's Kjerag's sacred cuisine, the party was delayed until 2 a.m. in the morning.

During this period, Verisa's servant said, "Master will be angry if he knows you don't rest so late," but Verisa still insisted on finishing the food.

In other words, if she wanted to avoid being scolded, Verissa would not tell her father about attending the party, so Weilantai, who is now sitting on the judge's bench, does not know that Verissa attended the party. .

Verissa can provide him with proof of alibi. At the same time, Verissa is also a member of the royal family and the daughter of Judge Willante.

Xia Feng raised his head and said with firm eyes.

"Your honor, Verissa, a junior high school student at the Royal Academy and a member of the royal family, can provide me with an alibi. She and I attended the same party on the night of the incident."

As soon as these words came out, except for the people from the Supervisory Office, the expressions of the judges and Yuan Council people present changed.

Wei Lan Tai frowned.

"You said Verisa was with you that night?"

Seeing Wei Lantai's expression, Xia Feng was secretly happy. It was just as he guessed.

The Inspectorate of Supervision did not report the fact that Verisa was present to the Royal Court. The purpose was to take advantage of the loophole that required at least 10 witnesses to allow the judge to convict him directly.

But it's a pity that Xia Feng didn't forget this matter. What's even more coincidental is that today's judge is Verisa's father.

After hearing Xia Feng's words, lawyer Kevin immediately stood up and said.

"Your Honor, on behalf of my client, I implore Your Highness Verissa to appear in court to testify. If, as you said before, members of the imperial royal family will not say anything contrary to the truth, then you will know if Xia Feng is the murderer or not."

Weilantai's expression was very complicated, and the two collegiate judges did not dare to speak, just waiting for his response.

After a long time, Wei Lantai said in a deep voice.

"Invite Verissa here."

The captain of the Royal Knights in the court responded immediately.

"yes."

40 minutes later.

Wearing a white gauze skirt, Verisa slowly walked into the court, surrounded by four golden sword guards. Judging from the fact that she arrived so quickly, Verisa happened to be in Londinium today.

In the process of coming, Verisa already knew what was going on. After walking in, she slowly came to the bottom of the judge's bench and bowed to her father above.

Wei Lan Tai's face turned livid.

"Verisa, I heard that you and Xia Feng attended the same party on the night of Lieqi's death. Is this true?"

"I"

"Velissa, you are answering as a member of the royal family. You must not conceal anything or lie at all, you understand."
