Even if you want to set the rhythm and direction, you can't do it by force. It will only make you a joke.

"Defendant's defender, do you still have doubts about the first accusation: 'The defendant stole the credit of Judge Pavaro in the Zikhe case'?"

Bishop Bourne shook his head and continued to answer simply: "No doubt."

This is not a secular trial, this is a divine trial. It is true that he, Bishop Bern, is Vicolay's defender, but he is not a lawyer with professional ethics.

Gaspar continued to ask:

"Does the defendant's defender have any doubts about the third charge: 'The defendant killed Judge Pavarro and silenced him'?"

Bishop Bourne hesitated for a moment. He really felt that this statement was not true.

After Karen moved into Pavaro's house, Pavaro was often not at home. Although the reason given by Karen was that Pavaro was too upright and didn't want to owe favors, so he went around to pick up tasks and repay Karen's points... But if it really happened

If I want to repay you, there is obviously a more sane way.

When Karen's status gradually improves, wouldn't it be better for you to run errands for Karen and pick up tasks from Karen instead of going home to pick up tasks from strangers?

Moreover, let's silence this time...the body was also disposed of "cleanly".

Does it have to be like this? After killing someone, wouldn't it be nice to perform an "order purification" on the corpse so that he cannot be "revived"?

Therefore, it is possible that the body was inconvenient to appear.

This inevitably led to another suspicion in Bishop Bern's mind. He suspected that Pavarro was actually gone for a long time.

As for the "Pavaro" who appears later, it is very likely that he is not the real Judge Pavarro. There are too many ways to "play" a person very realistically.

This conjecture came to his mind when he was reading the files before the trial, but he did not mention it to other bishops, but kept it in his own mind.

Due to his professionalism, he was almost certain that if he continued to dig deeper in this direction, he would be able to dig out something.

Doesn't Pavaro still have family members, doesn't he still have associates, and doesn't he still have those tasks? Even if he takes them with a hidden identity, it's not impossible to check, and it's not impossible to find them, so don't be too hard to find this breakthrough.

.

However, he abandoned this line from the beginning.

Because his purpose is to deal with this "battle" on the side of the interests of the region. In short, it is a confrontation between the region and the Whip of Order. He himself has never thought about digging up black information about Karen and putting him in harm's way.

fall.

Yes, Bishop Byrne feels he is very gentle.

Even though he used dirty and vicious words to insult and discredit the relationship between Karen, Pavarro's widow and the pair of daughters, he still felt that he was very gentle.

Because in his mind, if he doesn't want to kill you and doesn't want to completely destroy you, it doesn't count as malicious.

As for insults and criticisms, his family now actually controls the Palmires religion, and their beliefs can cross borders. Will he still care about these?

"Defendant's advocate, please answer."

Gaspar began to urge.

The way she asked was very partial, asking one question first, then three questions.

But this trial was originally led by the Whip of Order. Do we have to maintain "objectivity and fairness" if we don't favor one side?

Bishop Bourne said: "No doubt."

Gaspar nodded, and then started talking to the assistants around him. This was actually a deliberate delay to put pressure on the defendant.

After a while, Gaspar finally asked:

"So, does the defendant's defender have any doubts about the second charge?"

Bishop Byrne raised his hands and replied: "All my previous inferences were based on questioning the Whip of Order conspiracy theory. Now, the facts have been put in front of me. I misunderstood."

Said,

Bishop Bourne turned to Karen and half-bowed to Karen:

"Here, I apologize for my previous misunderstanding, and we acknowledge the Vicolet ruling... We acknowledge the suspect's crime."

Karen turned to Bishop Bourne and responded: "Please believe in the justice of the Whip of Order. At least, please believe that there are many people in the Whip of Order who still remember the oath they made when they joined the Whip of Order.

: Hold the whip, for the sake of order!

Just as I have always believed, most of the priests in the region, like Judge Pavarro, put their faith in order and the great God of Order first."

"Yes, I understand."

Bishop Bourne nodded and thought to himself: This young man really knows how to speak.

If you could get to know him earlier, no, if you could see his potential when he was a child, he would actually be more suitable to lurk in the Palmyres Cult than his own son Delius.

His style of doing things is not like his son who likes to have too many emotional worries. He is very calm and good at seizing opportunities.

If he were to be the divine son of the Palmyres Cult now, he would not have to worry about the possibility that the Palmyres Cult would get out of control in the hands of the next generation.

It's a pity that I don't have this opportunity.

Unless the senior leaders of the Whip of Order are blind, after this trial, this young man is destined to become a key training target within the Whip of Order. It is impossible for him to come here and become a devotee in the shadows, because he has

A brighter future is available.

However, I can remind him later and tell him that some things can be buried deeper and the finishing touches can be made more delicate without leaving traces, so as to avoid being dug out in the future.

Bishop Byrne responded: "I believe that with people like Captain Cullen around, the Whip of Order will become an important force in maintaining clear order within the church."

Hearing this, Karen frowned slightly.

In his opinion, it was not surprising that Bishop Byrne would admit defeat when things reached this point, but was it necessary for him to admit defeat so completely?

It's normal for him to plead guilty on behalf of Vicolay, but what he just said clearly meant a political statement. Was he representing the regional bishops?

Or is it that a certain political agreement has actually been reached before this trial begins?

However, Karen immediately discarded these thoughts in his mind and responded:

"Order needs us to protect it together."

…

"You are right, Neo, he is very suitable to be the external image spokesperson of our headquarters."

Many people think that speaking in a situation is very simple, and it is nothing more than reciting some fixed words. But in fact, when to say it, how to say it, and even the tone in which to say it, there is a lot of profound knowledge in it.

Especially now that the victory is already in hand, Bernie likes Karen's choice to give up when the situation is good.

The higher authorities allow and even support the Whip of Order to compete for power with local regions, but the higher authorities will not allow the Whip of Order to act like a mad dog and bite its own people to death.

Neo smiled and said: "Yes, that's how he is. He is always very decent in what he says and does."

"Well, very decent." Bernie looked at Neo, "I originally thought he was the same as you, but now it seems that he is different from you."

"Humans, it's easy to get tired of always looking at people who are the same as you."

Bernie nodded and said: "This sentence is interesting; okay, I think we should be able to prepare the next plan, and start the investigation into Vicolet's stealing of Judge Pavarro's credit.

The Regional Law Enforcement Department holds the power that originally belonged to us, and now, taking this opportunity, it is time for them to spit it out."

"Yes, Minister."

Bernie took out a card and handed it to Neo.

"Sir, we all work for our own departments. I don't need you to give me a subsidy. You are really too polite."

"You misunderstood. This is not a subsidy I gave you. It is an activity fund approved by the district chief. There are many reporters coming this time. We need to make some adjustments to make them work harder when reporting."

"But... in the current situation, these reporters, including these other people, will work very hard to publicize this matter if they are not paid."

When hyping up hot spots, you need to give red envelopes to media channels, but when big hot spots appear, they will be like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. Even if you use a gun to drive them away, they will rush there regardless of their own safety.

"I don't care about this. The funds have been approved by the ministry in this name. What we want to see is the effect. If the effect is good, then the funds will not be in vain."

"I understand, thank you, Minister."

So, this is still a subsidy.

Neo didn't ask Bernie if he wanted rebates, because he could see that his immediate boss didn't care much about these things, he cared more about his career.

I have a good background in my family, so I won’t miss any coupons. However, if you don’t want it, I will.

Alas, I still have to help Karen modify his car.

In Neo's view, Karen is not only a decent person, but also a person who holds grudges. How can a person who always remembers what others owe him not hold grudges?

"Sir, your 'temporary' as the Minister of Law Enforcement should be ready to leave soon, right?"

"Well, it should be."

"Then congratulations, sir."

"Do a good job, and when the district chief goes to Dingge District for retirement, you will come and take my place."

"Thank you for your support, sir."

Bernie was in a good mood and made a rare joke. He reached out and patted Neo on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't get me wrong, the main thing is to make room for Karen."
