The auditorium was silent.

"You are a group of sheep. When you encounter a man-eating wolf, you choose a brave and sacrificial leader to let it fight, and then watch it fight to the death with the wolf. Stand up and resist, don't cower in it.

Waving flags and shouting from behind. Let’s sue collectively. If the lawsuit fails, then go on strike collectively.”

"Pa! Witness, pay attention to your emotions." the old judge reminded.

"Sorry, I didn't control my emotions well. I advocate that the sentence be pronounced in strict accordance with the existing laws and regulations, and I do not agree to use public opinion to interfere with the outcome of the court's sentence. In addition, I am willing to admit that violent law enforcement was used against the suspect during the law enforcement process. These are all from

Because of the impulse of a victim. Because of the explosion at the gate of the university campus, if I hadn’t held my two sisters down in time, they would have been the ones to testify in court today. Your Honor, according to the law, I am willing to pay compensation of five

Ten pounds."

After speaking, Annick bowed, sat back on the witness stand, and waited for the judge's verdict.

The three judges discussed quietly for a while, and the senior judge presiding over the case pronounced the verdict.

"Silence, this court begins to pronounce the verdict on the Eggsburg serial bombings from September 1st to 11th. The defendant Peter Meseski is guilty of the explosion, but not guilty of selling explosives. He is guilty of the crime of illegally making explosives.

The harm is less. The two crimes were punished concurrently. The court judged that he should be jailed for five years and compensate the city hall for the repair costs of damaged items and a fine of 40 pounds in total. In addition, the witness Annick Saston was found guilty of violent law enforcement and compensated the victim 50 pounds.

pound."

"Bang!" With the knocking of the small wooden hammer, it means the end of this case.

Meseski was escorted out without any complaints. When he walked out, there was warm applause from the auditorium, and he was sent out like a hero. Looking at the back, Annick felt more like a sacrificial lamb, although he volunteered.

of.

"It all depends on you today. I have hope for the position of prosecutor general." Peng Pei came over with a smile on his face, ready to open his arms for a hug. Annick avoided this disgusting guy and turned around to find the two of himself.

younger sister.

"What a wonderful debate. Although I still regard you as a hawk, your ideas have given me a lot of inspiration. I am Jimmy Jones. Welcome to sit down at the Pioneer Newspaper when you have time." Looking at this forty-year-old man,

The next-year-old lawyer and reporter extended his hand, and Annick gently shook it.

"Annick Saston, port branch clerk."

"I remember, today's debate in court will be published on the front page of the Pioneer."

Annick was pulled out of the door by his two sisters, one on the left and the other on the right, and he said a little arrogantly.

"Well, your brother and I performed well today, I guess, to be worthy of a top student from Eggsburg University."

"Your performance is not great, but your upper body with a pile of ribs exposed, and your mast-like figure will probably appear in major newspapers." Irena added.

"Yes, I believe all the ladies in Eggsburg will probably remember you as a pervert who was naked in court." Irina added another blow.

"Do you think I care about this? The only thing that hurts is saying I was high and wasting my fifty pounds of cash. Can I regret it? I should just stay at home today."

Annick's heartache was not an act. He had known better to stay at home.

As soon as he walked out of the court, a group of people dressed as journalists surrounded him.

"Does Chief Annick want to be interviewed by our Kommersant newspaper?"

"An exclusive interview with the man we at Hunting Ground magazine are willing to pay a high price for."

"There are rumors here that you have an affair with General Granger's daughter. What do you think?"

Looking at these guys who were more annoying than flies, Annick had no choice but to shout.

"You are late. I agreed to an exclusive interview with the Eggersberg Zeitung. I will not go into details about myself and this case. Please excuse me and I have to go home."

On September 23rd, on Caen Island, Josefa found a restaurant and sat down. If Annick was here, he would be surprised. It was the Flying Fish restaurant he visited last time.

"Is the boss here?" Josefa went to the boss and whispered quietly while there were no customers.

"Yes, come later. Mr. Josefa, we haven't seen each other for three or four years." The boss is obviously also a former member of the Thor. After making enough money to open a restaurant, he returned to the Brugue Kingdom and acted as a liaison here.

functions.

"Absolutely. How is life on land?" Josefa asked.

"It's okay. We make more money in the peak season, but we will be closed in the winter. Not many tourists from the Kingdom come here in the winter."

"Please be safe, right?"

"Yes, I am over fifty years old, and I can no longer fight and kill. Looking at my belly, I am not suitable for going to sea anymore. I still often dream about you and the captain and Mr. Fielding in my dreams.

We spent a lot of time drinking together." Josefa took a closer look at the man in his fifties in front of him and found that his energy was indeed gone.

"It doesn't matter if it's stable, we are also undergoing transformation. We can't continue to live like this, being hunted by the navy every day. Maybe one day we will ask you to take in the sailors who have disbanded and beat you." Josef said these words.

Said semi-seriously.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know where he got the connections, but he actually started arms trading. I roughly calculated the gross profit, and it's almost doubled. If he can continue it for a long time, I'm afraid we will be the first among the Ten Pirate Kings to use steam ironclads.

.”

"Have you ever made such a profit? Congratulations. Mr. Josefa, are you waiting here? I'll go ahead."

"Go ahead."

Picking up the newspaper, Josefa found himself a seat.

"Pfft!" Looking at the "Kommersant" in his hand, there was a huge profile of a naked man on the front page.

Fierce debate scene! Sheriff versus lawyer.

Our intermediary was very aggressive. Although his face was not clearly photographed, Josefa was convinced that this man was the intermediary for this business.

"What's wrong? Josefa, who has always been steady, actually showed such an expression. It's a pity that Fielding is not here."

A man in a bowler hat and leather jacket walked in, looking a bit wild and unruly.

"It's okay, our agent is a very complicated person."

Derek became interested when he heard this and lowered his voice to ask.

"Is it reliable?"

"Reliable, but this gentleman is very interesting, smart and polite, but he has a pride in his bones that others can't see. He actually plays so well in court."

Josefa lowered the newspaper in his hand, and Drake quickly read through it.

"On the surface, this has restored face for Count Duy and the city government, but on the inside, I still feel that Leaf and his group are not smart enough, and he has also pointed out the route for them to cause trouble. Aren't we, the intermediary, afraid of threats?"

"I don't know, maybe I have confidence in my own strength and the forces behind me," Josefa replied.

The forces behind it? The Classical Literature Society seems to be one of the forces behind this Mr. Detective? Then I can be considered as the Mr. Detective’s backup. Derek suddenly thought, forget it, let’s not contact this Mr. Detective yet, too
