"My appearance today was fine. It didn't disgrace our police officers." Chief Ron greeted Annick as he walked into the court.

"Old senior, how are you preparing for today's court hearing? I see there's a lot of commotion outside."

"It's okay. The physical evidence such as the raw materials and debris of the bomb are all there, as is Meseski's confession. The witnesses originally included you and Emma, ​​but something happened on Emma's side temporarily, and you were the only one involved."

Annick didn't ask what else could happen to this guy with no brains.

"What about the defense lawyer on the other side?" Annick asked casually.

"I think he is a difficult guy. Jimmy Jones was originally a reporter. Later, after studying law and passing the exam, he offered poor people to work as lawyers for free. He doesn't take either soft or hard advice."

"Stone, aren't you afraid of being threatened?" Annick blurted out without thinking.

"Ahem, hello, I am the stone in your mouth. We will see you later. I believe I will leave a deep impression on you two." A male voice came from behind.

Annick turned his head and saw a man wearing an old blue formal suit and striped trousers standing a few yards away. What impressed him most was the beard covering his cheeks and his large, exposed forehead.

"Hello, Lawyer Jones, I just said something unintentionally." Annick apologized out of politeness.

"What I don't care about is that I prefer the title of Shitou to those other unscrupulous and unscrupulous people given by hypocritical public officials."

Lawyer Jones is also a straight person. Compared to Meseski, Annick has a better impression of this lawyer.

"Who is our prosecutor here?" Annick suddenly felt a little uneasy and asked Director Ron.

"Qiao Pengpei is an elite prosecutor, so there shouldn't be any problems." Director Ron replied confidently.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?"

When he met the prosecutor, Annick's hunch was confirmed.

This guy with a fat head, big ears and a big belly ignored him, squeezed away and came to the side of Director Ron.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Ron. I fought hard for such a good opportunity. After winning this lawsuit, I am much closer to the position of chief prosecutor."

"Congratulations then. This is today's witness, Chief Annick. Why don't you discuss the situation of the trial now?"

Hearing this, the elite prosecutor saw Annick being pushed to the side.

"No need, the physical evidence is sufficient, and Meseski himself has confessed. The lawyer on the opposite side will fight for a reduced sentence. Our victory is 100%."

It was a very logical judgment, but Annick recalled the crowd of protesting Leaf descendants outside the court and felt that the matter was not that simple.

The layout of Bruguet's courtroom is similar to that on Earth. The three presiding judges wearing wigs and red and black robes sit at the top, and below is the clerk responsible for recording.

The fat prosecutor Pompeo and his assistant sat on the left side of the judge. On the right side were lawyer Jones and the defendant Meseski. Of course, Meseski's hands were cuffed, and two bailiffs stood in full armor.

during his lifetime.

Opposite the judge was the auditorium, and the four rows of benches were already packed. Emma occupied the left seat in the middle of the first row and set up a camera.

As for the witness box, Annick is currently sitting on a wooden platform in front of the auditorium, separated by a wooden fence.

"This layout is unreasonable. It looks like I am a criminal." Annick complained.

"Bang!" The presiding judge knocked the small wooden hammer on the base. He was an old judge. His wrinkled skin and white hair on his temples showed his seniority.

"Everyone is silent. The trial of the Eggsburg serial bombing case is now starting. First, confirm the information of the prosecution and the defense." The scene became quiet. In order, the clerk confirmed whether all the people involved in the case were present at the scene.

"Dear judges and everyone, in this case, two prosecutors, one defender, one suspect and one witness have all arrived."

"Next, let's briefly describe the views of each side bilaterally."

"Dear presiding judges, I am prosecutor Joe Pompeo, who is prosecuting today. Here we file charges against the bombing suspect Meseski. The opposite is from September 1st to 11th in the Black Iron Era.

He was charged with two counts of explosion and illegal trading of explosives."

As soon as Peng Pei finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion from the auditorium.

"Go home, fat pig."

"Meseski is innocent."

"Bruguet's laws are a joke, designed to bully the poor."

"Pa! Silence." The presiding judge tried to maintain order.

"The defense will speak next."

Attorney Jones stood up and cleared his throat.

"Dear judges, I am defense lawyer Jimmy Jones. On behalf of Meseski, I refuse to accept all charges and counterclaim that the police violently enforced the law, resulting in my injuries and the loss of a front tooth."

Meseski opened his mouth cooperatively when he heard this, and he was indeed missing one of his upper front teeth.

"Yes, Meseski is innocent."

"We support Mr. Grenadier."

"Quiet! Next, the prosecutor will provide evidence and ask questions."

Peng Pei picked up the file and cleared his throat.

"Mr. Annick, was this note found by you at the suspect's house on the afternoon of September 11th?"

Did you ask about me? Annick stood up. "Dear judges, this note was found at the suspect's residence with another police colleague on the afternoon of the 11th of this month."

"Very well, I would like to ask the defense, do you admit that the suspect Meseski holds this note?"

Jones stood up and said, "We do not deny that this note is in the possession of our Mr. Meseski, and we also do not deny that the five acts committed from June 1 to 11 were committed by our Mr. Meseski.

"

Huh? What does this mean? Annick is a little dizzy.

"Then I would like to ask, since you admitted that you were responsible for the five cases, why did you deny our accusations?" Peng Pei was also a little dizzy and asked.

"First of all, please allow me to ask the prosecution, do you know why our Mr. Meseski caused so many incidents?"

"I don't care, these are called crimes, not incidents." Pengpei retorted.

"We and the prosecution have completely different understandings on this point. We call Mr. Meseski's act of placing explosives in the city a just and helpless revenge, and a helpless move to fight for justice."

Jones' words set the mood at the scene.

"It's revenge."

"Support Mr. Grenadier."

"quiet."

"Your Honor, this is such a quibble." Peng Pei protested.

"The defense please answer the question head-on." The judge acknowledged the prosecution's protest.

"Your Honor, we are answering directly. Please allow me to ask questions about the person I am defending. It will help the judges understand this case better."
