The bailiff in charge of the custody stopped Horace Ji's actions and took the folded sterilization paper from his hand. The thick glass shield blocked their voices, so that this scene in the dock was not noticed by many people.
At that moment, the jury members were lining up, everyone was looking over there, and the judge had raised the gavel.
when-
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes from the whole league, the "Shake Weng Case" of the Supreme Court of Decama officially opened.
Outside the courtroom, someone was waiting for this moment.
In the cellular network media center, Ben Qi and Hussey, who was almost late, sat in front of their heads, their mouths open, and they stared blankly at the visitor in a suit in front of them.
The visitor was the assistant of the leader of the Ivy Group, Devo Evers.
A few days ago, he received an assignment from his boss and two lawyers.
Now, it's time for him to execute.
Ben Qi looked at the information passed by the other party.
That's actually all sorts of prepared press releases, not quite coherent, but enough to outline the good things the Manson brothers have done over the years.
The more Ben Qi looked at it, the more frightened he became: "Are these... true or false? What scavengers, genetic drugs, infections... oh my god, these people who died in the past, are all a bunch of children?"
"Aren't you two reporters? I believe you must have observed more than many people," said the assistant.
Hearing this, Ben Qi was inexplicably ashamed.
The matter was too big for him to fully digest for a while, but he remembered the countless photos he had taken over the years, and suddenly he was overwhelmed.
Ben Qi pointed to a few pages and asked his assistant, "These... President Yan agreed to post them? To be honest, what I'm most afraid of right now is him and Lawyer Gu. If they get into trouble with those two, I—"
"Don't worry, it's not just consent," the assistant said. "The choice to publish these things at this time was originally proposed by the two lawyers."
Hersey's expression became even more confused.
He glanced at his smartphone, and then at the documents about the scavenger, "I just sent an email to Lawyer Gu... Could it be that they already guessed who the scavenger was? Work hard to find it?"
The assistant curled his lips: "Neither the two lawyers like to speculate. I think... Intuitive guesses will never be as good as substantive correlation and evidence for them."
"Also, can this be sent out smoothly?" Benchie was a little worried. "After reading this, anyone with a brain knows that the Manson family did it. Can the Manson brothers silently watch us send it?"
The assistant smiled: "They can't see it."
"why?"
The assistant pointed to the huge screen not far away, and inside was the trial scene of the Shake Weng case, which was broadcast live simultaneously across the league.
"Because they are sitting in the screen. Don't forget, the rules of the Supreme Court hearing, except for trial lawyers, no one is allowed to bring smartphones, optical brains and other equipment, so as not to interfere with justice."
"Are all these contents published exclusively by us?" said Ben Qi. "To be honest, the authority and credibility of our website is far from enough. Will it be regarded as an imaginative story?"
"Don't worry, of course it's not just your family." The assistant laughed, "It's just that the latest big news is the beginning of your website, why not continue? As for whether everyone will treat it as a story or take it seriously... Then you don't need to worry about it, it's long ago. It's planned."
Ben Qi asked in surprise: "Can this be planned?"
"I'm afraid none of us is more proficient than barristers in terms of how to respond to certain words and how to control the rhythm of emotions."
Benchie: "...Fuck, lawyers are horrible."
The assistant corrected: "Not all lawyers are so difficult."
Benchie: "…A first-level lawyer is scary."
The assistant said objectively: "There is one who is not yet."
Ben Qi: "Sooner or later, those who are close to the ink will be black."
The assistant coughed deeply.
"So, join the crew?" Mr. Assistant made a rare joke.
Ben Qi suddenly became excited, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Of course."
The reason why he took so many photos in detail back then was that he had a little doubt about those things.
It's just that the way to seek the truth is not easy to walk, and he failed to persevere.
Fortunately, someone has been insisting, and there are more than one. Today, many years later, these people plan to show the truth to others. As a reporter, he has no reason not to join.
At 10:02, in the courtroom broadcast live by the league, the jury members are raising their hands to swear to uphold justice.
A report with the main line of "exploring the truth about the bombing" was released without warning. Since the website was published on Honeycomb, and the reporters were Benqi & Hersey, just like the announcement that Yan Suizhi was still alive four days ago, it attracted huge attention as soon as it appeared.
Starting with Yan Suizhi's "death" is the angle that the public is most interested in at present.
Let them first understand that Yan Suizhi's bombing was not an accident, but a disguised murder. Then connect this murder to many accidents of the year, such as the overdose medical cabin supplier, such as the Ms. Luce who died in prison, such as the medical school professor Zhou, and so on...
This is where Bench and Hersey's vast photo library finally comes in handy.
And people will eventually realize that all this is a continuous whole.
While the assistant was busy contacting friends in the media, another assistant to Mr Devore Eves was also contacting the police station.
After learning that Jacques Bai had been found, the fake nurse Amy Boro suddenly gave up her resistance.
Although it was not particularly cooperative, she did explain a lot of things, most of which were related to Jacques Bai, and occasionally mentioned others, which was one of the breakthroughs of the Manson Group.
The sheriff didn't even show his stinky face in the past two days, he was in a good mood, and he was very good at talking.
Devore Everth's assistant gave him some new information, including, of course, the photos of the scavenger found by Hersey. So the sheriff withdrew from the live broadcast of the trial and brought Amy Boro for questioning again.
The sheriff didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly put the photo in front of her.
Amy Boluo squinted his eyes and snorted: "Your colleagues dutifully watched him in the hospital for so many days, and finally remembered and asked who he was?"
The sheriff was annoyed: "We were asking on the first day, did you answer?"
Amy Boro snorted again.
"So it's really a scavenger?"
"Scavenger?" Amy Borough read again. "That's what you call him? That's fine. It's apt. This scavenger is so amazing that I can't count the number of people who died at his hands. now,"
"for example?"
"Like? No kidding, where did I know like," Amy Boro said softly. "I was in school when he started helping the big boss, and that was nearly thirty years ago."
"Let's talk about recently? Just say what you know. For example, why do you have to give him medicine several times?"
"What do you think?" Amy Boluo raised her slender eyebrows, "Have you never heard of Rabbit Dead Dog Cooking?"
Guess who the fuck doesn't know the story? But it is useful to guess the case when handling a case? The sheriff cursed her mother in his heart, but he had to guide the girl to continue to explain.
"In the past, whoever needed to be cleaned up, it was him who came forward. He has rich experience and can always escape in various ways. After all, he was recruited by the big boss when he was an adult, and he practiced it."
Amy Boro said, "In the past two years, he gradually faded out. At first, he probably didn't want to do it. He saw that the world suddenly wanted to live a little more peacefully? He is very cunning in crime and can confuse people, but at the same time he There is also a fatal flaw, he likes to show off occasionally. So his slack mind is naturally noticed by the big bosses, and then there are fewer and fewer tasks for him, and I can give you a few examples. "
"Oh?"
"For example, the bombings that have been brought up again recently, such as the Shake Weng in court." Amy Boro said, "He didn't let him do the most recent cases. Do you know what that means? It means He's useless."
"He also understood it himself. How can there be a reason for taking a vacation when he enters the quagmire? If he really wants to take a vacation, he is not far from death. He tried to actively strive for it a few times, but to no avail." Amy Boluo recalled, "It is said that He would go around the crime scene to see who took his place."
"who?"
"No one," Amy Boro said. "Big bosses don't use a fixed person anymore, even though a fixed person can accumulate a lot of experience."
After the bombing, the scavenger saw with his own eyes the insane suspect was caught, and suddenly gave up making chess pieces again, and he began to flee.
"You know, it's useless to escape normally, and people will find it out wherever he hides. This is his nearly 30 years of experience in escaping various arrests, and every time he escapes, he relies on genetic modification. It's just that the big boss arranged for him to do it before, but not this time, he should have secretly found the black market."
Amy Boro said sarcastically: "He can think of this method, and others will also think of it. So the big boss also arranged people in the black market, intending to do something when the scavenger is doing genetic modification, and let him die on the operating table. Come on, pretend he accidentally bumped into a small workshop and died of an infection during surgery."
The police officers stood up abruptly, "Small workshop? Infection?"
"It sounds familiar, doesn't it?" Amy Boro continued, "The scavenger is a very suspicious person, so he discovered the problem in advance, and in order to escape, he passed the danger to others, and suddenly broke out after the incubation period, It became the most lively large-scale virus infection a while ago."
"Hold!"
The interrogation room was full of curses.
The scum on both sides confronted each other, but it was the innocent people who were unlucky.
"But he couldn't completely escape himself, and he was also infected." Amy Boro said, "He was a little conceited and always thought that he had solved it perfectly and could not be infected, so when he entered the hospital, he seemed so unbelievable. ."
"Similarly, he was too conceited in the Shao Shao Weng case. He may have been scared by the big boss at that time, and he felt that the only way to save his life was to put himself in front of everyone's eyes, with countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and the probability of being manipulated. It will be lower. So he pretended to be involved in the Shake Weng case and left traces of himself everywhere, so that he put himself under the eyes of the police, and the big boss naturally did not dare to touch him. The focus of this case has been shifted to him, weakening the other suspects, and then using the power of public opinion to sentence him to a severe sentence, and then kill him without knowing it."
Amy Boro glanced in the direction of the interrogation room and said, "There's a live trial outside? Let's just say, if the scavenger is found guilty in this case, he's really been wronged, and the big boss is happy to see it happen. If he is acquitted, then based on his experience, it will be more difficult to catch him later."
"To those of you who keep your mouth shut about justice, today's trial is a dead end."
When the interrogation room was silent, in the Decamar Supreme Court, the judge nodded to the prosecution lawyer and said in a deep voice, "You can make your opening statement."
