Chapter 129 Witch

Why did this happen during the trial and what was the truth? No one knows.

Even William and Amanda only saw that Videl's abnormal state should be attributed to "fear" among the three fatal characteristics.

He began to fall into death after Abigail recited that spell, and he was the only one who went crazy after hearing that spell. It was more like triggering a backlash from some unknown force.

In this way, it seems that the lady's crime is more confirmed...

"Witch! Devil! I will sentence her to be burned at the stake!"

In the open space outside the court, Judge Wendell was wiping the blood on his face with a clean towel, and then roared at the police in front of him.

The Yotun Police Department has sent people to cordon off the entire building. Detectives from the Police Bureau wearing bird-beak masks rushed into the courtroom and inspected the inside.

After Daniel explained the ins and outs of the matter to his colleagues, he looked at the man and woman standing behind.

"Mr. William..." He moved closer to the other party and asked tentatively as he walked.

Seeing the middle-aged man with a high forehead turn his face, Daniel knew that he had guessed correctly.

"As expected, it's you. Thank you for your help just now."

William looked at the stranger walking over and frowned, not knowing his identity yet.

"May I ask you are?"

"Da'Daniel Martin, the investigator of the Velen Inspection Bureau." Daniel nodded slightly in greeting.

However, not all goodwill can be exchanged for a friendly reply from the other party. William obviously did not have a good impression of the investigator.

"Well...then I can only say sorry, because I just killed your colleague to protect the people in the court."

After William finished speaking, Daniel did not show a trace of displeasure: "That was a terrible accident. It was not your fault. Sir, if it were me, I would definitely do the same thing if I had the ability..."

As he spoke, Dardaniel stretched out his hand to William, but the other party did not respond.

He took his hand back, not daring to be angry, but thanked him again: "Speaking of that disaster, thank you for providing us with clues."

After hearing this, William sneered: "Haha, thank me? But you still put all the blame on a lady. It seems that the information I provided at the beginning did not work."

After hearing this, Dardaniel shook his head helplessly: "We are just following orders. Mr. Minister, you know that any insignificant water pool will turn into another color as long as it is contaminated with politics..."

What he meant was that the trial of Abigail was decided by the empire out of political considerations and had nothing to do with a small employee like himself.

This is indeed the case. Even if Gray Bean used the information provided by William to blame the aboriginal people on the East Indian continent, Gordon would still say that it was deliberately diverting trouble eastward and diverting attention.

All in all, Gordon is determined to take advantage of this disaster and will not let them go easily.

"So according to this logic, finding a scapegoat will be useful?"

William had a sarcastic attitude towards this and raised it in a sharp tone.

"I know that your Inspection Bureau here in Velen only works for the royal family... Oh no... To be precise, you should work for the Privy Council."

"It should be their idea to let that weak, innocent-looking woman stand trial...but...haven't you ever doubted their motives?"

Daniel's eyelids twitched, but he did not refute and kept his usual smile.

William continued: "Throwing out scapegoats and directing trouble to the country will not solve the problem. Your senior management must want to get something else from that lady..."

These words made Daniel dare not continue talking, and at this time, someone came out of the court.

They were two investigators from the Police Bureau. They pulled out the unconscious Abigail. Rachel in the crowd was crying loudly, but soon her voice was shouted out by the angry citizens.

The sound was suppressed.

"Witch's crime! Witch's crime!"

"Burn this devil!"

"Please use the old code judgment!"

People watched Abigail being taken to the police station again, and Daniel took out his long cigarette rod and added a lot of shredded tobacco.

William's eyes were solemn and he murmured what the old code was.

Amanda beside him was originally from Greybean, and explained to him coldly: "The old code... was the product of the Greybean witch-hunting movement more than 900 years ago. At that time, it was considered the peak of the Glow Faith.

The people fanatically and brainlessly pursue the Church of the Bright Light, and its influence has surpassed that of the royal family. The country is full of crazy and out-of-control believers. And the code written out of this can be imagined, and the persecution of heretics is obvious.

It can’t be compared now.”



Returning to Secred, Victor took Mike into the mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and after communicating with him in the secret residence, he learned that the misfortune of the other party's family might be related to Downey.

As time goes by, Victor will become vague about Donnie's appearance. This is the influence of the other party's "performer" ability, so he has always written down all the evil things Donnie has done and his appearance in his notes, just in case.

Forgot yourself.

Now a comparison shows that the guy Mike was talking about pretending to be Cy Latu is probably Donnie.

However, even so, Mike would definitely not believe that Sai was innocent, so Victor did not mention this aspect to him, and decided to wait until he and Donnie actually faced each other again in the future before considering asking Mike to join the gang.



Next, Victor will continue to investigate the truth of the Berkeley incident.

Since the last time De Gaulle made a mistake in judgment, he and Victor turned their attention back again and went to the Villa to find Ms. Merage and asked her more questions about Mrs. Sasha and the Villa's maids.

Because the relationship between Sitchin and Madame Salsa had been completely exposed, Merigi had nothing to hide and revealed everything she knew to de Gaulle.

"As you can see, these are the personal information of the current maids in the Villa, provided by the housekeeping company..."

De Gaulle and Victor rummaged through the papers on the table and found that these servants were all recommended from different domestic service companies.

These housekeeping companies are equivalent to intermediaries, except that they only charge referral fees from wealthy employers, not servants from job applicants.

They write the applicant's recommendation materials, provide one copy to the employer, and keep one copy for themselves. Once the two parties sign an employment agreement, they can collect a referral fee from the employer that is no less than half the servant's annual income. But from then on, the servant will

It has nothing to do with the housekeeping company.

Ms. Merrige said that because Storm Hill is so large, the number of servants in the Berkeley family is several times that of ordinary nobles, and it is also very difficult to manage it.

Although her qualifications are not as old as Mr. Galway's, she has been at the Villa longer than Parker, at least fifteen years.

During her time serving the Berkeley family, there were many resignations and new additions to the maid corps, and some died of natural causes, illness, or accidents in the process. The number actually reached an astonishing dozen...

More than ten people have died alone, and the number of maids who have resigned and new hires over the years is even more incalculable.

"So...do you think any of the servants you have managed are suspicious?"
