On December 12th, Hypatia also went to the Old Berry Building early in the morning, sitting in the public gallery angrily, thinking about what Sherlock and Moriarty had planned. The smile is really too much to beat.Because of the beating smile, Hypatia, who was upset after pregnancy, directly drove him out to sleep outside.But today when I woke up, I found that he had run away early, it was so annoying! !However, when Sherlock and Dr. Watson came out in shackles led by the bailiff, she forgot to be angry and looked at him a little sadly.Sherlock was undoubtedly innocent, he had enough evidence to prove it, and what worried her was that Magnuson would take some unconventional methods.

In the courtroom, Magnuson, who was standing as a witness, saw Sherlock and Dr. Watson standing as the accused from afar, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Sherlock nodded in return.

The judge announced the opening of the court, and Sherlock did not hire a lawyer, but chose to defend himself.Seeing this, Magnuson couldn't help but secretly smiled, remembering the past when Sherlock offended the entire jury, is he really afraid that he won't be able to go to prison this time?That's such a shame.

After a few opening remarks, Magnuson stood up and narrated his testimony, "At about seven o'clock in the evening on December 12 this year, I was in the office, working with my secretary, Agatha Nolan At that time, Sherlock Holmes broke in suddenly and tried to shoot me dead, and Miss Nolan stepped forward to block the fatal shot in desperation."

Sherlock got up and said very courteously: "Your Honor, what I want to tell is a completely different story. Miss Agatha Nolan was once my client. She was at Mrs. Mary Barton's wedding on November 11. Please ask me for help. She used to be an agent of the CIA. She and her colleagues came to investigate Magnuson, because he stole a large amount of American intelligence in the United States and used it to blackmail and control the United States. An officer. Miss Nolan called him: He would be another Julian Assange, but with a much lower character than Julian Assange."

"You are utterly slandering," said the attorney for the prosecution, standing up. "You are utterly slandering my witness. Your Honor, please silence him."

"Your Honor, please let me finish my case. It's not just about me, it's about my client's reputation. She would never stand a gun for such a despicable person. In fact, she went to Magnuson's office was also due to revenge. She was suffering from sepsis and had a high fever, and it was the power of revenge that supported her. You can read the autopsy report to see."

Magnuson stood up and said: "It's an interesting story, but I have more evidence. My company has her pay stubs and ID cards, and of course her tax payment certificates. Do you think I controlled The tax office of the government? I am sure a sensible judge would not agree with that."

Sherlock raised his hand and said, "I object, these physical evidences can be completely forged, and I request that other witnesses be summoned to be present."

The prosecutor's lawyer got up and said, "I object, Your Excellency, the other party is completely slandering my witness. My witness, as we all know, is a real gentleman."

"This is not slander, it just raises a possibility. Even if it is physical evidence, I have more physical evidence here."

"Ok?"

"Miss Nolan was shot in the front of her chest, and I must have passed out at the scene. The rescuers and police who arrived at the scene can testify, and probably took pictures. The place where I fainted was when I just entered the door. Magnuson's office. Then I also looked at the photos of the crime scene, which showed very obvious drag marks, extending from the window to the desk, where the body had been moved before the police arrived. So, the scene It was sabotaged. Then, Mr. Magnuson, everyone probably understands why you sabotaged the scene."

The prosecution lawyer stood up and spoke, saying, "Your Honor, the defense is using his profession to deceive the world!"

Sherlock continued: "Of course, these are not enough. I have witnesses to testify for me. Please summon Mrs. Mary Morstan Barton."

Hearing this, the prosecution lawyer looked at Magnuson in surprise. Magnuson nodded calmly and took out his cell phone, only to find that there was no signal at all. What's going on?

At this time, Mrs. Barton went to court, stood on the witness stand, and thought that she had to admit what she had done in front of so many people. Some choked up and said: "I am Mary Morstan Barton. On December 12, Agatha Nolan was shot and killed in the building opposite Magnuson's residence, under Magnuson's order."

"reason?"

Mrs. Barton said with tears in her eyes: "I came from the United States with Agatha Nolan and Alfred Lewis to closely monitor Magnuson. Alfred Lewis is dead. Then Agatha wanted to fulfill the wish of Alfred Lewis during his lifetime. But I was approached by Magnuson at that time, and he threatened me. If I didn't do what he said, he would take everything Tell my husband. So I can only do what he said. Except this time, I have wounded Agatha with a sniper rifle before, also under his threat."

Magnuson looked at Mrs. Barton grimly, come on, I'm going to publish all your stories in the newspaper this time, but what is the signal here?He looked down at his phone, feeling very puzzled.

The prosecution lawyer got up and said: "I also have evidence to prove that Agatha Nolan is indeed Mr. Magnuson's secretary. Please call Mr. Magnuson's personal assistant, Janet Wilde, Mr. Judge."

After Miss Janet went to court, she shivered when she saw the cold eyes of her boss, then gritted her teeth and said, "No, I don't know her, I don't know her, she has never appeared in our company. I don't know who she is."

Magnuson trembled with anger, stood up and said, "Janet! What are you doing?"

When Miss Janet was frightened by him, she burst into tears and said to the judge: "I have been intimidated by him all the time! Working for him is the scariest thing in my life. He threatened me, insulted me and threatened me." Me!" As soon as the voice fell, the court was filled with non-serious buzzing voices discussing each other.

The judge struck his gavel and said, "Silence, Miss Janet, you may go on."

Magnuson stood up directly this time and said: "She is lying, she is the lover of Sherlock Holmes, and she is trying to mislead the judge so that her lover can be exonerated."

Sherlock said: "I don't need to do this at all, I am innocent, as long as your magistrate can face up to the evidence I submitted."

Magnuson tidied his clothes, sat down, replied calmly, and said, "I don't have to do this at all."

"Do you want a reason? I can tell you the reason." Sherlock said, "Alfred Lewis stole valuable information from your company, information that could even destroy your business, of course this information You can’t see the light, otherwise, you can call the police. Alfred Lewis later died at the hands of your subordinate Blackwell, but Blackwell died unexpectedly soon. In order to retrieve that information, Kidnapped Blackwell's only daughter, Eva Blackwell, but found nothing."

"Searched Alfred Lewis's former apartment, and ordered someone to invade Scotland Yard to steal the information back, but due to time constraints, that person only had time to destroy the possibly intelligence, and then jumped off the building. You It is impossible to determine whether it has been destroyed. You are not at ease, so you can only attack the closest person to Alfred Lewis, that is, Agatha Nolan. Miss Agatha Nolan is Alfred Louise's lover. You forced her to go to Mary Barton. Unfortunately, Mary Barton had already taken refuge in you. So Miss Agatha Nolan was shot shortly afterwards. But she is a very Resolute lady, she has vengeance upon you in the agony of fever."

"You have no proof!" Magnuson, having completely given up his demeanor, began to yell.

"I have. The latest confessions from Scotland Yard should be on the judge's table. Those two of your bodyguards have confessed to their involvement in the kidnapping and subsequent brutal murder of Miss Eva Blackwell on your orders." crimes. Likewise, Miss Janet Wilde can testify in this matter."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Finally, Sherlock finished, and winked at Watson who was standing beside him.

Dr. Watson lowered his head and covered his mouth with his fist, trying to hide the smile on his face.

Magnuson completely gave up his gentle mask, looked at the jury, and said arrogantly and coldly: "Gentlemen and ladies, I know everything about you. Please think more about it when you make a decision. "

Everyone present was in an uproar.Hypatia thought, if any juror dares to distinguish between black and white, I really don't mind threatening her too. She was taken aback by her own thoughts, damn it, this must be the reason I stayed all day Moriarty's side fault.I want to obey the law, I want to obey the law! !She hypnotized herself for 2 minutes.

During the adjournment, Magnuson was still swiping his phone, but his phone still had no signal.He finally started to panic, what's going on? !He borrowed someone else's mobile phone again, but it still didn't work.At this time, he realized that the current court is equivalent to the medieval court, which is completely closed and isolated from the outside world.The media empire he has mastered is useless at all, because he can't give orders, and all the information in his brain can't be printed into typeface.He was finally scared, who did this?how so?I will not fail so easily!No, it must be just a signal failure.
