The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

The earl is a high-ranking nobleman, and before he is convicted, Raymond enjoys all the noble immunity of the nobleman.Even though he was the biggest suspect in this murder case, he was still sitting leisurely on the soft sofa, drinking hot tea, not treating him like a suspect at all.

This angered the descendants of Soderos.

If not, the inquiry session was aggressive from the very beginning.

Aphra's uncle Hudson asked directly: "Your Excellency Earl Raymond, may I ask why you murdered my niece Aphra!"

His wife, Mara, also gestured towards the senators who were watching, and testified: "Yesterday we saw with our own eyes that Earl Raymond gave Aphra that letter, so she went to that place to be plotted and murdered. My lords , please call the shots for us and bring this murderer to justice!"

"Yes, he is the murderer!"

"Arrest him!"

"He killed Aphra!"

All the descendants of Soderos were excited. If there were no guards present, they would probably kill Raymond with their own hands.

At this time, an old nobleman who followed him also said: "Earl Barton, the impact of this murder is extremely bad. It is not only a bad incident where a student is suspected of murdering a teaching assistant, but also destroyed the friendship between the Soderos family and our Phillips. On behalf of the parliament, we are here to supervise the joint trial, and hope that the chief executive can enforce the law impartially!"

"allow."

Barton nodded expressionlessly, he still couldn't hear the threat from these old guys.The parliament is the highest authority in the territory. With these old guys present, he, the Chief of Security, has been emptied and completely lost his decision-making power.

He looked at the calm-looking Raymond, and asked, "Count Raymond, you have already understood the general case, so please answer whether the accusation made against you by the gentleman just now is true..."

Lei Meng responded indifferently: "I didn't kill Aphra, I slept at home all night last night."

Mara immediately retorted: "If it wasn't for your letter to Afra, she would never have gone to that kind of place. You had planned it long ago!"

"I think you already know the cause of Daru's death..."

Raymond explained again: "Then it should be understandable. The letter I sent to Afra was also out of good intentions, and I wanted her to recognize Dunn's true face. You have also visited that place, and you should know what I am talking about. What's the meaning..."

Hudson was much calmer than Mara. He said, "The murder of Dunn's teacher and the murder of Aphra are two different things! This excuse does not clear you of the crime."

Barton also said at the right time: "Earl Raymond, you also have the right to raise objections to the entire case, and we will handle it as appropriate..."

Raymond shrugged. He didn't intend to save people so easily.

"Just now I took a closer look at the case files... If I remember correctly, when you found Aphra, she was still alive. Then, I have a doubt..."

He squinted at Mara, and asked in a deep voice: "I want to ask, Mrs. Mara, what did Aphra tell you before she died!"

Chapter 135 Senior Brother, You Are Finally Back

"Wh... didn't say anything!"

A look of unnaturalness flashed across Mara's face, and she turned to shout angrily: "You murderer, don't try to quibble! If you hadn't placed the poison on that telescope in advance, Afra would not have been poisoned at all. You figured it out!"

Of course Raymond knew the result, because that's what she answered in the file.

He keenly caught the panic on Mara's face, and asked unhurriedly: "So...you keep saying that I am a murderer, so what is my motive for killing?"

Mary snorted coldly and said nothing.

Lei Meng sneered and said, "You really don't think that just because of the competition in the academy, I'm ready to kill someone I've never met before?"

Mara said indignantly: "Hmph! You, a guy who can brutally murder your classmates because of a little conflict, what can't you do?!"

Although everyone felt that this reason was far-fetched, but now it seems that there is only such an explanation.After all, as far as they knew, this guy named Raymond had a very bad reputation in the academy, so he might be some kind of perverted guy.

Hearing this, Barton interrupted: "Madam Mara, please don't state topics that have nothing to do with this case!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the elders of the council at the side interrupted: "Earl Barton, I think it's okay for Madam Mary to say this. After all, as far as the motive of the murder is concerned, circumstantial evidence is not uncommon."

The atmosphere in the entire meeting room was a little gunpowder.

This murder case was not only a confrontation between the descendants of Soderos and Raymond, but also a confrontation between two factions of the territorial nobles.

"If you want to kill someone, you use such an obvious method?"

Lei Meng still had a calm expression on his face, and said, "I wrote that letter to Aphra, so do you think that if I were the murderer, I would be stupid enough to kill people in this way?"

Mara seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and she responded fluently, "I heard that you are a daring lunatic, even daring to kill high-ranking nobles, why not dare? Maybe this is your strategy!"

In fact, anyone with a little sense would think that this matter is a bit strange.

But even if it is strange, it can't change the fact that Raymond participated in the murder.After all, without that letter, Afra wouldn't have gone to the scene of the murder, and she wouldn't have been secretly poisoned.

After all, if Raymond had no other purpose for Afra, he wouldn't have handed over that letter at all.

This move is very suspicious, and it is also the biggest reason why Soderos' descendants doubt him.

"I heard? Hehe..."

"As the earl of the territory, I have no obligation to explain so much to you before you have clear evidence to prove that I killed someone."

Raymond was also a little angry at Mara who was messing around, and said displeasedly: "The reason why I came to the Public Security Department to accompany you in the deliberation today is because I don't want you and me to be used as pawns."

Hearing this, Mara immediately felt a sense of humiliation overpowering others.

She screamed: "Hehe, you really can do whatever you want by relying on your status as a high-ranking nobleman? Do you really think that our Soderos family can be slaughtered when they are down?"

The elders of the council also spoke at the right time, expressing their attitude, saying: "Miss Aphra is also a noble conferred by the Duke. No matter who murders her, we will severely punish the murderer and will not tolerate it!"

Barton snorted coldly, and said, "Count Raymond, you will be treated fairly, so don't worry about anything else."

At this time,

Raymond said calmly again: "Since you can't find a definite motive to prove why I wanted to kill Aphra. Well, now I can help you figure out a murderer's motive for killing, let us see if you can explain it. everything..."

upon hearing this,

Barton's eyes lit up, and he said, "You have the right to state your opinion, please continue."

Raymond nodded at him, and continued: "I was very puzzled when I heard that the Soderos family was wiped out by pirates... The 'Blood Skull Pirates' have always been famous for their meticulous attack plans. , if it is an act of extermination, there will be absolutely no survivors, without exception. Just relying on the strength of your Excellencies, it’s not very nice to say, I don’t think you can escape from those vicious pirates!”

Mara immediately questioned: "Hehe, since those pirates didn't survive, how did you know? Could it be that you still have contacts with those pirates?"

Lei Meng was interrupted by this woman many times, and he also lost his temper. He said coldly: "Of course I have my news channel. And... I am not obliged to explain so much to you! If you interrupt me again, Then you can investigate on your own, I will not accompany you."

Barton said with a cold face: "Madam Mara, please don't interrupt Earl Raymond's statement!"

As soon as these words came out, the descendants of Soderos became quiet.If Raymond wanted to leave, unless they could produce solid evidence, there was really no way to keep him.

Lei Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "The pirates must have a plan to rob. Although the Soderos family is rich, in terms of money, it is not as good as some wealthy businessmen, and the risk of being wiped out is much greater than that of some wealthy businessmen. I guess, you It’s definitely not money to allow a big pirate group like Blood Skull to spy on you, the most likely reason is that you are descendants of Soderos!”

As soon as this sentence came out, no matter who it was, they felt that it was reasonable.
