Hearing Timothy's words, Vikander was completely stunned, "Confession? What crime do I plead guilty to? I didn't kill anyone. What did I plead guilty to?"
"Hmph, keep your mouth open!" Timothy said a little impatiently, "At the scene of Hollett's wife's death, this string of bracelets fell. It has her scent on it. It really belongs to her necklace."
Vikander's eyes widened, and he said, "This necklace is at the murder scene? How is it possible! Besides, even if this is the case, you can't doubt me. If she wants to kill someone, she will kill him. What does it have to do with me?"
The woman jumped in fright when she heard what he said, and hurriedly said in surprise and anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? They have already proved that the murderer was a man yesterday! And I have seen the clothes you discarded, and there are wine stains on them , It’s definitely your clothes! Moreover, you stole this necklace from my neck yesterday, and when I saw it was gone, I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn’t find you!”
Vikander's eyes widened, feeling a little dizzy. He suddenly realized what kind of insidious plan this was. When he thought that before he passed out, someone seemed to pass by, and the murderer should be that person!
"I know!" Vikander suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "The murderer is the one who put the drink on me yesterday. When I went to clean the clothes, he knocked me out and pretended that I came back. He stole my necklace, then consigned me to the streets of Terre, and then sneaked into Deacon Hollet’s house wearing my clothes, killed his wife, and framed me, it must be like this!”
Hearing his words, Timothy sneered and said, "That's a good idea, but all the evidence so far is pointing to you. Do you think I will believe that you are the one who was murdered based on the story you made up yourself?" Was it framed?"
Vikander was stunned, angry and anxious, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "This is clearly framed. Don't you claim to be just and strict? Why didn't you investigate this matter thoroughly? You said I killed Deacon Hollett, but What reason do I have to kill him? I am not crazy, and I have no relationship with him, why would I take such a big risk to kill someone I have no contact with?! What am I trying to do?!"
Timothy frowned slightly. If the biggest doubt in this investigation was, it was undoubtedly the question of motivation. This was something they couldn't figure out. According to their investigation, although this noble young master liked to be in the place of singing and dancing Haunting, promiscuous, has some bad qualities common to ordinary nobles, but does not have other characteristics, such as irascibility, sadism and so on.
Therefore, they couldn't figure it out, why did Vikander kill Hollet
The sword-scarred young man next to him glanced at Vikander, pondered for a while, and said to Timothy: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. Let's re-examine it so that the Milan family will not gossip."
Timothy frowned, glanced at Vikander, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, but during our investigation, you will be temporarily detained in the courthouse, and you will be released after the results come out."
The tense strings in Vikander's heart were loosened, and he suddenly felt that his underwear was soaked in cold sweat. He sat on the chair a little tiredly, and felt that he was so close to destruction for the first time.
…
…
Timothy and the young man with the scar left the interrogation room, watched Vikander being escorted away by two trial knights, and looked at each other. The young man with the scar thought, "The method he said earlier is indeed possible."
Timothy frowned slightly, and said: "Although the motive for his murder has not been found yet, the evidence is convincing. There are many stories that can be told to justify himself. Every prisoner can find a perfect reason and hypothesis for himself to be framed. But hypotheses are hypotheses."
The sword-scarred youth nodded and said, "That's true, but let's try to find his murder motive as soon as possible. In this case, the Milan family will have nothing to say."
Timothy nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Deacon Hollett was assassinated. The impact of this incident is too bad. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the reputation of our court. There must be an explanation within three days at most. In addition, this time he was arrested, and the case was not immediately filed for judgment. The Milan family will definitely find a way to find a scapegoat for him. I have seen the tricks of these nobles a lot. They don't care if he kills or not, as long as he comes out safely. .”
Jian Scar sighed young and said, "I see, I will give you the result within three days."
"Yeah." Timothy nodded slightly.
At this time, a middle-aged deacon walked over, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and reading them as he walked.
Timothy said, "What's the big case again, so hardworking?"
Seeing the two, the middle-aged deacon gave a wry smile and said, "It's not a big case, it's just an old case handled by Hollett three years ago. Today, the principal culprit of this case came to appeal and wants to reopen the case."
"The case handled by Hollett?" Timothy and the young man with the sword scar looked at each other, smelling a scent keenly, Timothy said: "What kind of case is it? The assassination case helps."
Seeing her speak, the middle-aged deacon couldn't refuse, and said, "It's not a big case, it's just a theft case. Three years ago, a hunter from the Mellon Consortium stole the Longshan ruby from the Milan family. , according to the price of this gemstone, the hunter was sentenced to 230 years in prison, and now he was released on bail by the nobles, and he came to complain again."
Timothy and the young man with the scar were stunned for a moment, some thoughts in their hearts were immediately connected together, and a flash of understanding flashed in their eyes.
"I see, thank you." After Timothy finished speaking, he pulled the young man with the sword scar to leave quickly, and said as he walked: "Investigate this man and the nobles behind him immediately, and investigate again by the way. In recent years, Deacon Hollett What kind of cases have you handled for the Milan family?"
"Yes." The sword-scarred youth thought of this without her explaining, his eyes were full of excitement, and he finally found a clue to solve the case.
The two separated immediately.
In the court hall.
Du Dian sat on the reception sofa and waited. On the sofa opposite him sat an old man with a huge gemstone ring on his hand. Judging from his sitting posture and temperament, he should be a nobleman. This old man was waiting for Vikan outside. De Alex.
Du Dian looked at him, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and said, "Old man, you are so old, are you here to handle the case?"
When Alex heard the words, he turned his head and glanced at Du Dian. Seeing that the young man was well dressed, he nodded slightly and said nothing. What he was thinking at the moment was how to find a relationship and get Vikander out of the trial. fish out.
"Looking at you, it seems that you have encountered a lot of trouble." Du Dian continued with a smile on his face, "Didn't your family come with you?"
Alex frowned slightly. He didn't expect this young man to be very courageous. Could it be that he is not an ordinary person from his appearance? How dare you talk casually? He said indifferently: "Little guy, you came to the court at a young age, you should learn a little bit."
Du Dian shrugged and said: "I didn't commit a crime. Someone else framed me, but you, I believe you must have been framed, old man, but don't worry, the court is fair and just, and it will be dealt with fairly. Your people will definitely get a fair verdict!"
Hearing this, Alex felt a little more at ease, and said calmly, "It's not that I was framed, it's my grandson. I hope the court's eyesight can match that of your kid."
Du Dian smiled and said, "I'm not young anymore."
Alex smiled lightly and said nothing.
At this time, an official priest came over and said to Du Dian and the old man: "Who is Mr. Du Dian?"
"Me." Du Dian replied.
"This is your notice." The official priest handed it to Du Dian.
Du Dian raised his hand to take it, glanced at it slightly, the appeal was passed, and the court will be held in two days, so he can go back and prepare.
A smile appeared on his face, he put away the notice, stood up and said to the old man: "You see, the court is very fair, my matter has been settled, and I believe your matter will be resolved soon, old man."
"I would like to borrow your good words." Alex smiled faintly.
