Most Wanted [Interstellar]

Erwin had been informed of Grotius' visit in advance, so Erwin knew he was late.

The door of the confinement room was very thick, like a vault, and it had to be unlocked several times before it was fully opened. He glanced at the man inside, and then he found that 50 years had passed, and he hadn't changed at all.

Not only the appearance, but also the temperament...hasn't changed...

"Anything to drink?"

Lot asked someone to fetch some water: "Is there anything else you need?"

"No need." Grotius smiled at him, "You can leave now, I will have a good talk with him."

"Uh... well, you can call me anytime you need anything." Lotte looked at Alvin anxiously, and retreated.

The door was closed again, and during the whole process, Alvin, who was sitting on the bed, didn't even look at them.

"Erwin, you can't avoid me." Grotius poured himself a glass of water, dragged the chair over to the table and sat down, "You're not a child, are you?"

"I really don't want to see you very much," Alvin was still sitting on the bed, "Smiling tiger, if Planck was the only one, wouldn't it be convenient for him to frame me 50 years ago?"

"How can this be framed?" Grotius was still smiling, "It's just a strategy."

"A strategy that ignores the law? Planck has always been ruthless. I don't judge his behavior, but Grotius, as a legal scholar, wouldn't you feel ashamed to be his accomplice?" Ai Erwin found him laughing disgustingly.

"I don't think so, but I think I'm efficient." Grotius shrugged, "I never thought Planck was really your opponent, even though you admired him... It's ironic to say that, at first we both You can also be regarded as friends, right? I remember you would write greeting cards to me on my birthday, and my wife chose your doctor’s graduation dress for you.”

"..." Alvin ignored him.

"Yeah..." Grotius took off his glasses from his face, he rubbed his face that didn't look young, "That was a long time ago, I remember, when the Civil War was still It's not over yet? Erwin, you were in your 20s when I first met you. Do you know how Planck introduced you that day? He said to me—look at my many students, this guy is still Not bad, hehe, as if it happened yesterday."

"..."

"Then he said, if there are such people, the future of mankind will be very bright. This is true. In the decades of your cooperation, mankind has ended its civil war, completed its unification, and started unprecedented expansion and cooperation. Development, just less than 100 years, Erwin, this was unthinkable in any previous period."

"So you came to me today to catch up on the old days?" Alvin looked up at him.

"Your temper is still so short-tempered," Grotius said with emotion. "Remind me that although you have a 20-year-old face, you are actually over 100 years old, and nostalgia is the normal state of the elderly."

"But I don't want to be nostalgic for an old fox." Alvin said coldly, "I know what role you played 50 years ago, you are not my friend, never have been."

"Okay, okay." Grotius opened his file bag and took out everything, "Since we don't want to talk about anything else, let's start talking about business, shall we?" He threw a stack of reports on the table "The time of the accident avoided the traffic rush hour, but the casualties were still around one million people. Think about it, all the underground traffic trains on a planet derailed at the same time. Is the perpetrator considered ruthless?"

"What does this matter have to do with me?" Alvin sneered, "I was locked in a separate cell, ah, you mean Planck's separate cell is not good?"

"You have become eloquent."

Grotius suddenly smiled. This smile was different from the previous one. It was a smile that saw through the other party, and it was a disturbing smile.

"Yeah..." He took a sip of the water on the table, "It's been 50 years, anyone can change, you too, although I miss your silent and obedient appearance very much."

"I won't be tricked by you into writing a confession again, Grotius, I'm afraid you can only prepare to send me to court this time! Once the Omega Promotion Association knows that I have been arrested, it will do everything in its power to protect my rights and interests. Once I have a lawyer, I can tell my lawyer some small things. I know a lot. For example, how the former justice used his power to help the president of the Federation fabricate evidence. I think everyone will be very interested. Right?" Alvin had long since given up on him, "Do you think I will remain silent and be manipulated by others? Although I am not smart, I am not too stupid, Chief Justice."

After the baptism of the incident 50 years ago, he is no longer that ignorant researcher, he knows the rules of their game, this kind of dirty, meaningless game rules.

But Grotius played the game better than he did.

He seemed to have expected the other party's words a long time ago, his expression didn't change a bit, he just hooked his fingers at Alvin: "I also have something you are interested in, don't you want to come and see it?"

He held up a photo.

"Is this man Gus Schlieffen? Didn't think so? We found him." Grotius stared into his eyes.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly.

"To be precise, he came to find us, didn't you expect that? He didn't know why he wanted to meet Planck, and then their meeting was messed up by your derailment accident, and he exposed his identity." Grotius pushed the photo across the table, "Twenty-six, just the age to want to be in love, but Alvin, you ruined him."

Deceit is Grotius' usual method. In the incident 50 years ago, Alvin was used to the truth and falsehood of his conversation, but this time, he felt that what Grotius said was true.

"Although you don't regard me as a friend, I will still treat you as a friend." Grotius took out another stack of photos, "I checked him for you by the way, and he died after he was found by the search and rescue team again." He was taken back to the capital and taken into custody as an important suspect, and the prosecutor’s office was in charge of his interrogation. This is a photo of him being interrogated at that time... Well,” Grotius looked at a few photos, “I want to say, it’s pretty miserable. Do you want to take a look? Judging by your expression, you really don't know anything, right?"

"..."

"Then he was put in the Western Prison of the capital, and then he escaped, so now he is a fugitive death row inmate." Grotius stood up, walked to the bed, and spilled the photos on the bed, "Even if he and your The case is completely irrelevant, as long as he is arrested, he will have to go to the electric chair. I have to say that this world is really cruel to Alpha, killing tens of millions of people, and blowing up a planet, whether you will be sentenced to death is open to question, and this young The little boy is going to die for something like that."

"What do you want to say?"

"Are you shaking?" Grotius pressed Erwin's shoulders, the smile gradually receding from his face, "I'm different from you, although I'm shameless, I'm not a lunatic, I'm not interested in killing innocent people indiscriminately , you listen, I don't want to take you to court at all, but if I fail, I hope you don't say anything in court that you shouldn't say."

Grotius picked up a photo from the bed and forced it into his hands: "If you tell me, I promise you, I will definitely arrange a farewell ceremony for you, so that you can see his blue body one last time. Eye."

"Also," he pointed to the door, "I know there is a new ally outside your door, that incompetent Mr. who is eager to become the president, I advise you not to use your brains, I am not Planck, I am I have no sympathy for you."
