Cosma Empire

On the other side of the solitary cell, the food delivery staff stuffed a dinner into the cell floor through a small grid. The killer who was arrested after Illian hunted down Bruni calmly finished his dinner and knocked on the prison wall. Then suddenly he punched himself in the face, causing his eyes to go black and stars to appear on his head.

The two prisoners were silently "beating" themselves. When they were tired, they would choose to take a rest, and then continue to torture their bodies. It was not until the prison guards who patrolled at night discovered their situation that they realized that something was wrong.

Both of them were sent to the prison hospital. The doctor on duty frowned. He asked the prison guard to put the two of them on two adjacent beds, and then couldn't help complaining, "Next time please Can you not be so aggressive when using torture? No matter how much you hate them, you can't use such a heavy hand, what if you beat someone to death?" He walked to the left side of the hospital bed and glanced at the bed. The unconscious prisoner's arms were twisted at a strange angle.

Needless to say, it must have been caused by excessive punishment.

There are often some important "witnesses" who are temporarily imprisoned in the First Prison of the Empire. In order to pry out what they are interested in from these people's mouths, beating is just the most common way. It's just that the extent of their actions this time seems to be a bit too much, probably because they were irritated by these two guys, so they made a heavy hand recklessly.

The corner of the prison guard who sent them here twitched, but in the end he didn't make any excuses. No matter what they said, the doctor probably wouldn't believe it. Instead of wasting time and drool on pointless things, think about how to report the situation next.

They don't know who did it, but someone must have done it. These two guys are very important. Someone was able to beat them in prison. The things behind this are beyond the hands of small prison guards.

When the prisoner with a broken arm woke up, the doctor sighed, "I have tried my best to restore your arm, but you must be mentally prepared, there may be sequelae, and sometimes you will not be able to use your strength." ", he stared at the prisoner after he finished speaking, and the prisoner stared at the ceiling blankly, as if he didn't hear it. But the doctor knew from the slight changes in the details of his face that he heard it.

Maybe it's because he can't face this fact, the doctor who is not surprised returns to the table and continues to look at the latest medical publications in his hand.

The next morning, people from the General Bureau of Police Investigation rushed into the infirmary, and one of them, a skinny guy with short hair, walked to the bed, looked at the two horrible prisoners on the bed, and almost flipped the table. He is going to take these two away today and go to Illian to testify against Du Lin in court, but just the day before they are about to leave, someone actually came into contact with these two prisoners, so did the person who contacted them tell them Something, will they change their words?

All this is unknown.

What was supposed to be a simple thing suddenly became so complicated,

After he came out of the infirmary, he said sternly: "Check it out, check it out for me immediately, who contacted them, what they said, who was that person, how did they get in, check it out for me. There are so many important prisoners, and there are still situations that we don’t know about, how does your prison do it?”

"If you can't find out the results within a week, find someone to hand in your resignation letter yourself!"

Four days later, at the Port of Illian, Anpu was waiting for witnesses from the imperial capital to come over, when he accidentally saw an acquaintance. There was a slight tingle on his forehead, and he walked over with a smile on his face, "Hello, Kevin, why did you choose to come to Irian at this time?" He said, looking at the deserted streets around him, "It's a good time to come to Illian." Not a good season to travel, you should go south."

Kevin also smiled, "How do you know I'm here for tourism, not business?"

"Because of Durin?", An Pu said the answer he didn't want to say.

When they were in the imperial capital, the two tried their best to avoid encountering each other in the case. It was not because they were afraid of each other, but because they were unwilling to devote their limited time and energy to a case that would inevitably waste time. If Kevin represented the case and met An Pu as the prosecutor, the two parties would definitely entrust the case for several months, or even longer. Wouldn't it be better to represent more cases with so much time, or solve more cases?

But this time Anpu didn't expect that the two sides still collided.

Kevin nodded with a smile, "Mr. Du Lin is a very generous and high-quality client. Almost all lawyers like a client like him and are willing to be friends with him."

This sentence affirmed Anpu's question, and Anpu felt an indescribable feeling again in his heart. He stared at Kevin, frowned, squinted his eyes, and asked, "When did you come? Why didn't you come earlier?" Just say it, and I'll pick you up, too."

"I've been here for a while, and I live there..." He pointed to the manor on the sea cliff in the north, "Do you want to get together at night?"

An Pu shook his head, "How about it, are you confident in this defense?"

"I'm very confident in myself!", Kevin replied with a smile.

The two talked like ordinary friends, and the more they talked, the more disturbed An Pu became. Obviously, Kevin has been in Illian for a while, so what did he do during this time, what kind of investigations did he do on this case, or... His heart tightened, Kevin seemed to be very positive in the evaluations of lawyers and rich people, but in the judicial industry, Kevin's reputation was not so good.

This guy is willing to do any case that is likely to win for money, and at the same time, in order to keep his high consulting fee and winning rate, his methods are not so glorious every time. Although no evidence or witnesses have come forward to testify against Kevin so far, most prosecutors believe that Kevin is very likely to use illegal means to change the positions and testimony of witnesses and influence the jury outside the courtroom. resolution.

This is a very despicable person, but he is very good at packaging and protecting himself.

There was a moment of silence between the two, and neither of them wanted to speak again. They both knew that the battlefield was no longer at the pier, but at the trial.

The passenger ship in the distance has gradually changed from the size of a bean to a behemoth. There are not many people coming to Illian in winter, and it is not far away from spring at this time. At most two months later, Illian will be full of tourists again. But at this time, no one wants to spend the winter in this cold place.

There were only a few people who got off the boat, and the captain didn't seem to like this place either. After the people who got off the boat left the gangway, they immediately put away the ladder and quickly set sail again, leaving this place where people were freezing to death.

Kevin's assistants are two young women. They say they are young, but they are actually in their thirties. They are dressed in ladies' formal attire, and they seem a little unaccustomed to the temperature here. Kevin glanced at the hooded witness, nodded to Amp with a smile, and left.

The inspector of the General Bureau of Police Investigation, who is responsible for escorting the prisoners, also knows Kevin. In the imperial capital, almost most people in the industry related to the law know Kevin. He frowned fiercely and asked in a somewhat irritated tone: "Why is he here?"

While signing his name during the handover procedure, An Pu replied: "What else can be the reason? Where there is money to pick up, these vultures will appear there!" He returned the signed document to the escort The inspector walked up to the first witness and untied the rope on his headgear, "Is the journey going well?"

The inspector didn't speak, and the movements in An Pu's hands suddenly stopped, "What happened?"

The inspector was so angry that he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You should see for yourself!"

Then Amp took off the headgear of the first person. It was Bruni. His cheeks were a little purple and his eye sockets were a little blue. After four days, he didn't look as obvious as when he was beaten, but he still made people feel better. The first time he found out that this guy had been severely beaten. The bodily injury of an important witness is a very serious negligence, especially when the first trial is going to be held tomorrow. An Pu couldn't help but straighten his face, and asked sharply, "Have you taken measures?"

"No...", the inspector didn't know how to explain it, so he could only tell the truth, "He fell in the restaurant, and then put the dinner on someone else's head..."

Anpu laughed angrily, "Why don't you give him a meal alone?"

A few consecutive interrogations made the inspector feel uncomfortable, and it wasn't his fault. Who knows how those people in the prison arranged it? He snorted angrily, and patted his trouser legs with a half-smile, "You have to ask your colleagues in the prison, you shouldn't ask me!" He squinted at the person brought by An Pu, "Okay, the handover went smoothly. Next, I will go to other places to investigate the case. I will teach you here."

After speaking, he took the people and left directly.

Contrary to the previous series of good news, the series of bad news at this time has cast a shadow over Anpu's inner world. While having the three witnesses sent to the naval base, he considered the evidence in his hands. It can be said that apart from the testimony of a few witnesses, there is no direct evidence pointing to During. Including the note provided by Bruni, there is only one time and place, which can't explain anything at all.

If there is something wrong with these witnesses..., he remembered the enthusiastic smile on Kevin's face when he left, and his heart kept falling, almost falling into the abyss!

He doesn't like Kevin, he hates Kevin, but he has to say, as far as a lawyer's job is concerned, Kevin is the most dedicated guy he has ever seen, and he is definitely a difficult guy.

He hesitated again and again, and after returning to the hotel, he called the Deputy Minister of Finance who was far away in the imperial capital.
