[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Mary was stunned by Lily's words for a moment, she quickly came back to her senses, looked at Alice and Andrew: "What's going on?"

Alice was speechless and didn't know what to say, Andrew sighed: "I think Miss Lily has recovered her lost memory, perhaps because her brain was strongly stimulated by seeing Robert. As soon as she woke up Come see Edwards' lawyer and say she's going to plead guilty."

This was too coincidental, Mary couldn't help but sighed, and... She stared into Lily's eyes and asked, "What's going on? Why did you plead guilty? Did you really kill someone?"

Lily's face is no longer as pale as it was in court just now. On the contrary, there is a blush on her face, and she looks full of energy. Her eyes are shining brightly, and her lips are trembling, wishing to turn what she wanted to say into words. The flood gushes out.But her body still betrayed her, her body was crumbling, and her flaming cheeks seemed to burn her to ashes at once.

Mary sat her down and told her the story slowly.Now the situation in the court has moved in a direction favorable to them. If Lily pleads guilty rashly now, I am afraid that the efforts of Alfred and Mr. Bennet will be wasted. Moreover, doing so will be harmful to the Bennet family reputation is harmless.Even if Lily did kill those two people, Mary didn't feel that killing two scumbags required any guilt. Although she came from a society ruled by law, she still had zero tolerance for such scumbags.Although she does not take the initiative to kill or encourage killing, if such a person is killed, she is willing to cover up the murderer.

But in fact, Lily didn't kill her enemies.

"Since I met him by chance, he has been haunting me like a vampire, he said he would tell everyone about me, make them look down on me, laugh at me, I gave him money twice, Let him not appear in front of me, Miss Mary, I was thinking of running away, as long as I go back to the country, he would never dare to go back, he owes Mr. Bennet so much money, and he will spend his whole life in debt prison."

Lily's expression gradually calmed down, and her speech speed became more relaxed from the initial haste: "But no, Miss Mary, I found out that after I refused him, he secretly went to the food store to inquire about news, and even followed Kai. Lah, he refused to let Kaila go, if I leave, he will target Kaila next!"

Speaking of this, Lily's tone became agitated again, she took Alice's hand and asked: "Alice, Keira is pregnant, do you know that? She should have a happy life! Her husband cannot know about this!"

Alice hugged Lily's head with tears streaming down her face, and she said softly, "Yes, I know, I know, Kayla is living happily, she's fine."

Mary couldn't help but sighed: "I think Keira's husband may not mind, just now in court, my father, as Lily's character witness, has told what happened to you, I think before that, he Kayla's consent must have been obtained."

"What?" Lily was a little surprised, and she looked at Alice sternly: "Didn't I say that you can't tell it? Even if he doesn't care now, he will mind in the future."

Alice stroked Lily's hair, and said softly: "Kayla has confessed everything to him before marriage, and he is still willing to marry her and swear to love her. She is happy and will always be happy."

Lily was stunned, and after a while she finally showed a relieved smile, and murmured: "That's great, very good..."

Mary asked her, "Did you really kill those two?"

Lily nodded, then shook her head again. She said with a complicated expression: "I want to kill them. Ever since I found out that he started following Kaila, I have had this idea, otherwise Kaila will never have peace."

She raised her head, looked at Mary with tearful eyes and begged, "Please don't blame me, Miss Mary, my mind is full of sins, but I think God will forgive me as long as I pray sincerely and repent to God. "

Mary nodded: "God will judge everyone, as long as we repent, we will be forgiven."

Lily smiled gratefully, and then continued: "Yes, I am willing to repent for my sinful thoughts and actions, but in fact, I did not kill David Grant and Louis Sean, although my actions caused their death."

Mary became more and more confused when she heard this, what is the truth of the matter?

"I was going to kill him. I thought of many ways. I wanted to push him into the river and strangle him while he was drunk. It was easy to do, but at this time I met Louie Sean by chance. The businessman who tricked Keira and me into London is actually a pimp who abducts young girls, and David Grant is not a brothel owner at all, he is a 'purchaser' who specializes in buying people in a brothel!"

She suddenly looked at Alice, with a gleam of extreme hatred in her eyes: "I heard their conversation, they plan to add some new items for the social season, and they will come in handy in the first few days after buying people! And we His father intends to partner with them in a big ticket business, so that he won't have to worry about drinking money for the next year! He used to do this a lot, and Grant and Sean trust him very much."

She gritted her teeth and said, "So I changed my plan. I can't just watch them let other good girls suffer the same bad luck that I had. I must let them stay away from them forever!"

Mary felt that her throat was a little dry, she swallowed her saliva, and asked in a hoarse voice: "So, you want to kill them all?"

God knows why the misery movie turned into a criminal investigation drama, and the kind-hearted little white rabbit was forced to blacken the Jedi to fight back. Mary could already imagine what Lily would do. She glanced at Dr. Andrew from the corner of her eye, and she immediately shuddered. Seriously said to Dr. Andrew: "Dr. Andrew, I hope you can keep the conversations in this room a secret. Without violating your professional ethics, we are certainly not trying to hide the crime, but I think we can't until the truth comes out." Feel free to draw conclusions, right?"

Dr. Crews looked at Mary, and said in a low voice: "The day I became a doctor, I swore that whatever I saw or heard, regardless of business relationship, I think should be kept secret, and I am willing to keep it a secret."

He stood up slowly and said to the people in the room: "I think I should keep what happened just now a secret. If Miss Lily doesn't want others to know, I will keep silent about it forever."

Grateful faces were on both Mary's and Alice's faces, and Lily went on to recall, saying, "Yes, I decided to kill them."

"The three of them often meet each other recently. I prepared everything, sharp knives, ropes, and spirits, and waited for the opportunity."

There was a frightening light in Lily's eyes, and she slowly told them about that bloody night.

The three scumbags were so drunk that day, they slapped the table, yelled, laughed and sang, as if tomorrow they would become the upstarts in London.Lily hid in the kitchen after serving them. She held the sharp knife she just bought tightly in her hand. Her plan, that's why she bought this brand-new knife, for which she had spent a long time picking at the grocery store.

She waited quietly in the kitchen, waiting for the three of them to get drunk. She specially bought a lot of gin, and she mixed some tranquilizers prescribed by the doctor in the white soup. She also put some whiskey in it, it was said It's easy to get hangovers like this, and I don't know if it will work, but she will try all methods.

It seemed that after waiting for a long time, and it seemed that it was just a flash of God's effort, the sound outside gradually became quieter. Lily looked around, and Sean was already lying on the table motionless, and Grant was also lying on his back on the chair, breathing. Sleep soundly.Only one Robert was still muttering to himself, and Lily waited for a while, but Robert still refused to sleep obediently.He just has this kind of habit. After drunk, he likes to keep nagging and talking to himself, whether there is an audience or not. Lily knows that his state will last for a long time, but she really can't wait.She paced back and forth in the kitchen, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out. She picked up something and smashed it on Robert's head. He fell to the ground with a sound.

Lily ran to the kitchen to get the rope, and when she came out, she tied Grant, who was closest to her, to the chair under him. Because Sean's upper body was lying on the table, it was difficult to move, so Lily tied his lower body first, and waited until He woke up when his upper body was tied up, which was very bad. The man asked Lily in a daze, "What are you doing?"

Lili was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. She stood up in a panic and stumbled to find her knife. After searching for a long time in a panic, she found that the knife was placed on the dining table. She ran to pick it up. , and then turned to stab her into Sean's chest.

But at this time the accident happened again, and Robert woke up. He made a humming sound, which was very small, but it was deafening to Lily's ears like thunder. She stood there at a loss, please forgive her It's the first time to do this kind of thing, what should I do next?Lily was thinking anxiously, who should be killed first?

Lily's head was in a daze, as if she didn't have to think about anything at this moment, and she couldn't think of any results.But instinctively, she took the knife and charged at Robert. She had to kill him first, or he would run away.

The sharp knife pierced Robert's chest fiercely, but Robert struggled to avoid it. The tip of the knife cut his arm, and blood flowed out from his dirty shirt. The pain finally woke up Robert's body completely.The two of them tore apart in a panic, Robert was slashed several times by Lily because of his weakness.Things were originally moving in a direction that was beneficial to Lily, but suddenly she was knocked down, her head hit the wall hard, and her whole body was spinning dizzily. It was Sean who knocked her away.At this moment, Sean's legs were still tied to the chair and his hands were tied to his body, but he could still easily knock Lily down.Lily struggled to stand up again, this time she slashed at Xiao En who was blocking her with a sharp knife, but unfortunately all the cuts were empty.

The situation was obviously very chaotic. Robert reacted quickly, and then kicked Lily's head fiercely a few times. The knife in Lily's hand fell to the ground, and she was curled up by Robert's beating. She had completely lost her mind at this time. With the strength to resist, he could only lie on the ground and pant violently.

And Sean yelled at Robert: "Hurry up, untie me quickly, old man, my leg is broken, I need a doctor."

Robert staggered to Sean's side. He had just tried his best to untie the rope, but accidentally touched the money bag tied around Sean's waist. It jingled inside, emitting the unique and beautiful rhyme of Kinkini.

Robert couldn't help picking up the money bag, pulled the drawstring and opened it. There were not only many gold coins in it, but also a few rolls of pounds quietly curled up in the corner below.Robert felt that his breathing was not smooth. This was a large amount of money. He had never seen such a large amount of money. Robert looked at the money bag in his hand almost obsessively.

But Sean started to curse him in disgust: "Untie the rope quickly, you bastard, put my money back, it's my money, don't touch him with your dirty hands, or I won't let him go Pass you. I will beat you to death with a whip, and see what good your daughter has done, and I will never let you go."

Sean began to curse non-stop, a war broke out in his brain, the excitement of alcohol and the soothing effect of tranquilizers conflicted with each other, and finally the alcohol defeated the opponent, and at the same time made him dizzy, the unscrupulous vicious curse did not put He rescued him, but killed him instead. Robert also drank a lot of alcohol. When he saw the money, he couldn't continue to think about other issues. His only concern was how to put the money into himself smoothly. Then he shut up the nasty person in front of him who was trying to take the money, and finally he saw the knife on the ground, and picked it up by mistake...

Lily finished telling the story tremblingly, recalling that her eyes were full of fear when it happened: "He wanted to kill me, but I tore with him on the ground for a long time, and finally threw the knife out of the window. The fist hit my head crazily, gradually I don't remember anything..."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Mary and Dr. Cruise looked at each other. It was obvious that Robert was afraid of being wanted after murder and robbery, so he came up with the idea of ​​blaming his daughter. I don't know if he intended it at the time Leaving Lily's life, or thinking that Lily is dead, there is no proof of death.

Alice hugged Lily and wept aloud, she kept cursing Robert in her mouth.

Dr. Crews said to Mary, "Miss Mary, I think we have to tell Lawyer Edwards and the Sheriff about this."

Mary nodded, and she quickly returned to the courtroom. Attorney Fox just looked up at her. Mary winked at Attorney Fox, and Attorney Fox immediately stood up and walked to Mary.Mary led him to a secluded recess off the corridor and whispered to him what Lily had said.Mr. Fox raised his eyebrows in surprise, and exclaimed, "It's unbelievable—it's unbelievable!"

He said to Mary: "Don't worry, Miss Mary, now we've made a comeback!"

After that, he returned to the court excitedly, and whispered quickly in Alfred's ear.Alfred's face changed from solemn to surprised and then serious. After he finished listening, he turned his eyes around the noisy courtroom and projected on Mary at the door, and then showed a very light smile.

He originally wanted to tell the judge the truth directly, but after thinking about it, he set his sights on Robert.

He stood up and said loudly to the judge: "Your Excellency, I request that the trial be temporarily suspended. My client, Miss Lily, has woken up. She has brought me important news."

The prosecutor was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still breathed a sigh of relief. His situation is not optimistic. Although he thinks the evidence is solid, the situation has already begun to favor Alfred. Suspending the trial can give him a temporary reprieve. tone.

The judge glanced at Alfred and asked: "Lawyer Edwards, you must tell me clearly what this news is, and whether it is worth my suspension of the trial."

Alfred shrugged: "She recovered her memory and told us an amazing news." He turned to Inspector Owen: "Mr. Owen, I think you need to arrest someone here, and that person is The real murderer of Grant and Sean!"

His gaze fixed on Robert as sharply as a falcon, Robert began to tremble under such gaze, he felt that what flowed in his body was not blood but ice, and Alfred's voice was in his mind like a church bell Resounded in the middle: "Robert O'Deno, you are the real murderer!"

All the people present were stunned when they heard Alfred's words. The scene was silent for a moment, but this silence was soon broken, and people made a lively noise. Many people whispered to each other, and some even shouted loudly. : "My God—" "My God—"

Alfred's icy voice sounded like thunder in Robert's ears. His face was pale and sweat was pouring down like rain. He couldn't think at all, and he didn't dare to move.

Alfred glanced at the stupid Inspector Owen, then stared at Robert and said sharply, "You can't run away! You can't escape either!"

When Robert heard the words "run" and "flee", he seemed to be inspired all of a sudden. He stood up with a "huh—" and rushed towards the door desperately. Most of the people were stunned. But others yelled: "Grab him, grab him!"

The courtroom is low in the middle and high around the sides. The judges and public seats overlook the defendant's column and witness column in the middle, and the lawyers of the prosecution and defense sit under the judge's seat.After Robert and Inspector Owen testified, they did not leave the courtroom, but sat in the lowest gallery. Therefore, when Robert escaped, he had to run up from the bottom of the courtroom.

Most of the ladies sitting next to the aisle were ladies. When these ladies saw Robert rushing over, they either screamed in fright or were stunned on the spot. Many people did not react. At this time, Alfred yelled at Inspector Owen. : "Go and catch him—"

At this time, Robert had already rushed to the top position near the door. He was overjoyed and felt that there was hope for his escape, but at this time he had no way to go any further. Mary was standing at the door, and she raised her foot Kicking Robert in the face, Robert rolled to the bottom of the steps like a ball.

Several prison guards rushed up and beat Robert several times with sticks. Mary was so relieved, Lydia jumped over and gave Mary a thumbs up: "Good job!" Then she said regretfully: " It's a pity that I was a step late..."

Robert yelled, "Let go of me, I'm not...you got it wrong..."

Alfred sneered: "Then why did you run just now?"

Robert was speechless. He didn't know how to explain it, so he kept saying over and over again: "It's not me, you got it wrong... Lily is lying..."

Alfred said to Detective Owen beside him: "I think you should search Robert's current residence at last. He will definitely not hide the money where he can't see it. Remember to search carefully!"

Inspector Owen twitched his cheeks, pursed his lips and said, "Of course, sir, searching is my forte. Even if he hides a needle under the floor, I can find it."

In this case, the judge had no choice but to suspend the trial. When he asked the bailiff to take Robert down, he said to him: "I hope you can stand in the dock when I see you next time!"
