Chapter 167 Who Will Question Him
It was snowing outside, but the temperature inside seemed a bit high. Yuan Shang kept staring at the engraved needle on his watch and rubbing his right temple to relieve his continuously rising blood pressure.
The Blackstone officers frowned and discussed something in a deep voice, as if a dark cloud was gathering above their heads.
As for the person in charge of Titan District 13, he had already soaked countless tissues used to wipe sweat.
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the appointed time approached, the originally noisy discussions inside the court gradually subsided, and seemed to fall into some strange silence.
And Shi Chen's face gradually turned ugly, as if things were really as bad as he expected.
Gu Meiyan's eyes slowly closed, as if she didn't want to accept this cruel ending.
Seeing that the clock in the courtroom was about to reach the appointed time, Xu Qiusheng's frown suddenly relaxed. He looked at Shi Chen beside him, sighed, patted his shoulder, and showed a relieved smile.
.
Yuan Shang had been looking at his watch silently, his eyes almost bulging out of his head. When the hour hand finally reached one o'clock, he even felt that his body was floating a little. He loudly reminded the court: "Your Honor, the court is adjourned for half a minute.
Hours have passed! The plaintiff’s witness did not arrive on time. Are we going to enter the next stage of the trial?”
Shi Chen and others fell into silence, and the interior of the court remained as quiet as ever. Even the federal people in front of the TV screen sighed imperceptibly when they saw this scene.
From the time when the Great Phage Expeditionary Force jointly vouched for the young man named Xu Qiusheng, most of them had believed that the defendant's story should be true. He must have made such a huge sacrifice in order to save the eldest princess of the Federation.
Wrong, but the law is ruthless. If there are no witnesses to prove his innocence, he must bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
It's just that many people are wondering at this moment, why has such a major incident happened in Titan, but no one has come forward to testify yet, and why are the plaintiffs and even some of the big names on the jury so nervous?
What are they afraid of? What are they nervous about? Or, what are they trying to hide?
The chairman ** glanced at Yuan Shang with a slightly disgusted look, then turned to Gu Meiyan beside him, and said: "Defense lawyer, the witness you promised to appear in court did not arrive on time. According to legal procedures, we have to enter
It’s time for the next trial.”
The pale Gu Meiyan glanced at Shi Chen beside her.
Shi Chen clenched his fists, turned around slowly, and looked at the ancient door with a heavy bronze scale carved on it with the last glimmer of hope for a long time.
However, what is surprising is that this time, none of the ten judges urged them, only some important figures in the jury looked anxiously and winked at lawyer Yuan Shang.
Shi Chen sighed. After all, he didn't wait for the person he was waiting for, but just when he gave up and was about to look away.
That familiar dull sound once again made the hearts of everyone present tremble.
The heavy door of the court was pushed open again.
A gust of cold wind brought in countless snowflakes as big as goose feathers and blew in through the open door, causing many people in the hearing room to shrink their necks.
The cold snowflakes fell on the cashmere carpet, the white princess dress, and the golden hair of the visitor.
Shi Chen looked at the visitor and finally showed a relieved smile. The faces of all the dignitaries in the hearing room all turned extremely ugly. Yuan Shangze looked at the visitor blankly and even forgot to get up.
Naturally, he recognized the person who came. It was Her Royal Highness Isa, the second princess of the Elizabeth royal family of the Commonwealth.
Although Isa was wearing a thin princess dress, her face was flushed. She had melted a lot of snowflakes when she came in the snow. Her hair was wet and tangled into several strands of gold threads, and there were water drops on the white princess dress.
The bones rolled down and hit the blanket softly and silently.
She was also pushing a wheelchair in front of her. Also sitting in the wheelchair was a blond woman wearing a blue lapel. Her chest was covered with medals of honor, making her identity known at a glance as a Knight of the Royal Round Table!
It's just that the woman's feet are still in plaster, and her face is a little sickly pale, so she looks like a wounded lioness.
This woman was Nolan, who did not hesitate to lead a small team to snipe mechas during the Moon Pond assassination operation last time. However, the injury she sustained last time was too severe, so Isa could only be pushed over in a wheelchair.
Isha pushed Nolan like this, and slowly came to the front of the court amid the complicated looks of everyone in the court and the shocked and incomprehensible looks of the entire federation.
After a long time, Nolan said to the judges on the high platform: "Nolan Clement, currently the seventh knight of the Royal Round Table, appears in court as a Titan witness this time. Please confirm it, your honor."
The chief security officer quickly checked the electronic files about Nolan, nodded, and said: "There is no problem with the identity of the witness appearing in court."
"Then can we start?" Nolan asked.
All the judges looked at each other, and several of them looked in the direction of the jury, and finally compromised: "Okay. Where were you on the day of the crime?"
"Performing mission in Titan District 13."
"What mission?"
"Sorry, this is a military secret, please forgive me for not being able to tell you." Nolan said.
The chief ** officer frowned.
"I protest!" Yuan Shang on the side made a final struggle and argued: "Your honor, this does not comply with legal procedures. It involves such a major military incident. Even if it is a military secret, relevant explanations must be made.
"
Nolan glanced at Lawyer Yuan Shang with disdain and said: "This order was directly issued by Her Majesty Elizabeth. If this matter is to be made public, you can go and talk to Her Majesty."
"You!" Yuan Shang was choked and couldn't say a word, and his face turned the color of pig liver. He is just a small lawyer with a little reputation among the people. It is not even possible to see Her Majesty Elizabeth, let alone
Tan went to ask His Majesty for military secrets. Isn't this the old man who hangs himself because he thinks he has a long life?
"According to Article 71 of Chapter 3 of the Federal Constitution, military secrets are also divided into five sequences. The release of the highest two-level military secrets must be issued by the Privy Council and the House of Lords at the same time. Among them, the order personally authorized by His Majesty is the second-level military secret.
Confidential. Therefore, what Knight Nolan said does not violate any laws." Gu Meiyan looked at the judge on the stage and said.
The chief political officer nodded, agreed with Gu Meiyan's words, and continued to ask: "Then how can you confirm that the eldest princess Alsalia was persecuted on Titan."
Gu Meiyan shrugged, took out a black box from her pocket, and said with a smile: "This is the black box on my combat mecha. There are combat video records in it, and you can see Her Royal Highness." Then she informed her again.
Detailed time.
Under the control of the staff, a slight electronic noise rang out in the quiet court, and then a holographic video appeared in the court. Above, the footage of the video was extremely bumpy. It was obvious that the mecha was running at a high speed. You could see the
The quaint urban area has been engulfed in fighting, and gunfire and explosions can be heard from time to time in the distance.
Everyone watched silently and intently. As the dull loud noise approached, they saw the huge war apostle again and the woman lifted in the hands of the war apostle. This time it was not so vague or even technical.
The photos are pieced together of particles, but are actual video footage captured by the mecha's visual device.
"This black box video file may be faked at some technical level!"
Yuan Shang stood up suddenly. The worry in the corner of his eyes instantly turned into a strong autonomous stress reaction. His voice was mixed and crushed to an extremely sharp voice. He waved his arms and shouted loudly in the court.
Although his voice was fierce, it was undeniable that with today's technology, even black box documents were technically possible to be faked. However, the technical engineering and cost required were too high. Only Alsa's original
Liya had a successful case.
He couldn't accept this result, he couldn't accept the defeat of this case, he couldn't accept that the huge amount of unpaid accounts just disappeared, and he might even have to vomit out most of what he had eaten.
If this case is lost, then he will become a complete piece of shit in the federal legal profession, which is why his reaction seems so real and primitive, like a naughty boy who has been robbed of a lollipop, screaming and beating his chest.
Nolan didn't even bother to pay attention to the reaction of the other party's lawyer. He looked at the judges in the court and said calmly: "If the judges are worried that there is something wrong with this black box, I can provide another three copies, one of which is from our knight chief Lord Luo.
Jate’s. I believe that with his status and moral standards, no one in the entire federation will question him.”
