Shadow of great britain

"After receiving the call from the Greenwich Division of the Metropolitan Police, Station Sergeant Willocks immediately led a patrol team to conduct a search along the road near the campaign speech venue.

Finally, at 5:03 pm, the patrol team found the criminal suspect Adam Evans carrying stolen goods and preparing to abscond in an alley not far from the venue.

He confessed to the crime he had committed and voluntarily accepted the arrest of the patrol team.

Based on Adam Evans' performance and modus operandi at the time of this case, the Metropolitan Police finally decided to prosecute Adam Evans for theft.

And because the suspect had multiple theft convictions before and was guilty of serious crimes, and the time difference between the last time he was released from prison and the time of this crime was very short, it shows that the suspect has no intention of repentance in his heart.

Therefore, after comprehensive internal discussions, the Metropolitan Police Department recommended that the court impose severe penalties in order to deter lawless villains in Greater London and correct social trends. "

Arthur read this and let out a sigh of relief.

Although he also wanted to tamper with the indictment, he learned of the case too late and the indictment had already been submitted to the court.

If the content of the indictment is temporarily changed, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the magistrate.

Once the judge gets the impression that the police were bribed by the criminals, let alone acquitting Little Adam, I'm afraid the judge will really punish him severely.

Everyone knew that the justices of the peace were eager to renovate the newly established Scotland Yard.

There are many old-fashioned judges who believe that the establishment of Scotland Yard was entirely a seizure of power from their hands.

In the past, they had the power to direct their police officers to arrest criminals. However, the emergence of professional police forces led to the demise of local police officers and made them a complete judge.

Sure enough, after listening to Arthur's case statement, the magistrate first carefully checked it with the prosecution document in front of him, and only nodded slightly after confirming that there were no flaws.

"Submit the evidence."

The parasol that had been prepared long ago was placed on the evidence table in the center of the courtroom by Officer Tom, who was sweating profusely and wearing white gloves.

The judge asked: "What happened to you?"

Tom was afraid that the judge would see his guilty conscience, so he could only hold his stomach and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Judge, I feel a little unwell. Maybe I caught a cold because I sweated too much when I was patrolling the past two days."

Upon seeing this, the judge casually asked jokingly: "Is it March 25th?"

"No, no." Tom waved his hand quickly: "This has nothing to do with handling the case, it's because of my poor health."

He was afraid that the judge would blame little Adam for this incident.

The judge didn't think much about it. He said: "After the case is over, you can go to the back and have some tea, but now I ask you to hold on for a while. The case is very clear this time and it will be over soon."

When Tom heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He turned to look at Arthur and cast a look of help at him.

Arthur took over: "According to the victim, this parasol is an expensive custom-made product, worth seven shillings and six pence. And this type of parasol was only produced in one batch, so it is unique. commemorative significance.

Therefore, she hopes that the Magistrate Court can make a comprehensive evaluation of the stolen goods based on its use value and collection value. "

The judge asked: "Did the victim appear in court today?"

Arthur responded: "Because the victim is busy at work and has many affairs, she has applied not to attend the trial, and this application has been officially approved by the court."

The judge scratched his head in embarrassment, and then pretended to rub his temples: "I am so old, how could I forget this matter?"

He raised the gavel and tapped it: "Then next, summon the defendant Adam Evans."

As the iron door opened, little Adam, who was shackled and wearing thin clothes, was taken to the dock by the bailiff with heavy steps.

But because he was too short, only half of his head could be seen from behind the dock.

Therefore, the judge had to allow him to stand outside the dock so that the judge and the jury could observe his expression changes and behavior during the trial.

Little Adam looked around tremblingly. The area around the huge dock was empty, and he was the only one standing here.

Although he had been here many times, today was the first time he felt how terrifying it was when so many pairs of eyes in the audience focused on him.

His eyes swept over everyone present, and finally settled on Arthur, who stood tall and straight like a sharp sword.

He gained courage from Arthur's calm and confident expression.

Although he was still scared, he still summoned up all his energy and greeted everyone present with a slightly trembling voice.

"Mr. Judge, Mr. Police, and all the gentlemen and ladies who came all the way to see me, thank you for your hard work. Good morning."

As soon as he finished saying this, a burst of light-hearted laughter erupted from the jury box.

Even the usually serious magistrate couldn't help laughing and said: "Adam, they are not here to see your performance, but to decide whether you are guilty or not."

What Arthur told him immediately came to little Adam's mind, and he quickly admitted: "I am guilty."

The judge held back his laughter and asked, "Why did you plead guilty so quickly?"

“Because I did steal the thing, I was wandering around Central Street, wondering if I could try my luck and pick up a few coins from the cracks in the bricks.

But I suddenly found a large group of people gathering in front of me, so I followed them in, and then I saw a beautiful lady with a beautiful umbrella.

At that time, I thought, my God, she must have been dizzy from the sun. It was such a nice weather, but she still had to carry an umbrella when she went out. So I followed..."

As soon as little Adam said this, he heard several sounds of knuckles tapping on the table.

That was the secret code Arthur had agreed with him, which meant that he should stop talking.

So little Adam naturally stopped talking.

The judge hadn't noticed what happened, so he asked naturally: "Then you stole her umbrella?"

Arthur said, "At least that's what our indictment says."

The magistrate was not satisfied with Arthur's sudden interruption. He frowned and said: "Officer Arthur, please remain silent when I question the defendant. You will have a chance to speak next. Okay, Adam , you can continue. So, was it you who stole Ms. Nancy’s umbrella? "

Little Adam got Arthur's signal and naturally knew how to answer next.

He copied exactly what Arthur had just said: "At least that's what the policeman's indictment says. I'm guilty, I'm sorry, I'm guilty."

"At least that's what the indictment says?"

The magistrate looked at little Adam, who had his head hanging down and was full of tears, and then at Arthur, who was expressionless. When he connected with the remarks of the two parties, the judge's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

Suddenly, he seemed to have figured something out, and his face turned dark.

"Adam, I am now issuing a formal inquiry to you. Did the police use some or more improper means during the arrest and interrogation of you?"

When Agares saw this scene, he held his belly and laughed happily.

He put a hand on Arthur's shoulder and leaned against him and said: "Arthur, you are indeed the villain I like. You are really a born devil! Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can never be eradicated. , then it’s up to you how to guide this delirious old judge.”
