Marshall was gone for three days.

When he returned three days later, his face was solemn.

"The problem is serious." He said.

"What's going on?" Renault asked.

"I can't prove that Megan was descended by the Protoss, and the energy blast destroyed all the detectors, and no one except a few of you saw what happened. You know what that means. ”

Renault's heart chilled.

Of course, he knew what that meant, and if he couldn't prove that Meghan was sent down by the Protoss, he couldn't prove that they were killing in self-defense, which meant that the Renault and Claire sisters would face murder charges.

But he was not reconciled, he asked: "What about Meghan?" Shouldn't there be residual energy in her body or something? ”

Marshall shook his head: "Our understanding of psychic power is still very shallow...... All current knowledge of the Advent comes from known manifestations, and when the Advent is over, no clues have been found to be found about it. So I tried to find Matthew. ”

"I guess he's not going to cooperate."

"Yes, this damn bastard denied everything that happened that night and refused to acknowledge Meghan's changes. Without Matthew's testimony, no matter what you say, those people won't believe it. Unless I tell them about Claire and Nora first, but you know I can't do that. ”

Marshall's eyes were filled with sorrow.

Yes, in order to prove that Meghan was descended, you must first tell the secret of the Claire sisters, which is unacceptable to the old man in any case, which means that he cannot prove that Renault is justified in their defense.

"But luckily, no one saw that you killed Megan, so we still have a chance." Marshall said.

Renault shook his head: "The traces of the battle are enough to prove that we killed her." ”

"Don't worry, kid, I'll figure it out." Marshall smiled: "Believe me, I am still capable of doing something." ”

"Alifeld has the power to stop you just as well." Renault replied.

This answer made Marshall froze.

Yes, if it's just Marshall operating in secret, with his past power, status, and connections, as long as he is willing to put his old face aside, he can actually rescue Renault and Claire sisters.

But only if Alifyfield doesn't get in the way.

Regardless of Marshall's influence, he is retired, while Alifeld is a still reigning general.

If he wanted to, he could have played a stronger role than Marshall.

But Marshall was only stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am glad that you can see the situation so clearly, that you have an eye that I admire, but you lack some political wisdom." ”

"You're saying you have a solution to the problem?" Renault had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Marshall rubbed Renault's head: "Although I am a failed politician, this does not mean that I do not understand any political means." Let me teach you something today, I'm not sure if it will work for you, but at least let you know that no matter what the predicament, there is no hope of getting out. ”

Renault looked at Marshall earnestly and listened to him.

Marshall said, "You're right, Alifeld's current influence is indeed greater than mine. But you have to understand that sometimes we look at a person not only by his ability, but more importantly, by how much he is willing to pay to achieve a certain goal. For Alifeld, continuing to attack you as a murderer while his son is already safe is largely just to give his son a breath of air. And to me, protecting you is because you and Claire are one, and protecting you is protecting Claire. Our goals are fundamentally different, and the price we are willing to pay is different. I could sacrifice everything to protect Claire and Nora, but Alifeld will never give too much to hurt you. ”

Renault's eyes lit up.

At that young and innocent age, opponents were always judged based on strength and physique, and this was the first time that Renault had heard a new way of judging from a different angle.

Marshall has continued: "Politics is full of compromises. Alifeld is not a fool, and my powers can be used to stop him or to help him. I believe that if I am willing to make a deal with him, there is a good chance that he will change his mind. At that time, it will become me and Alifeld to protect you. In that case, don't say that you are innocent in the first place, even if you really kill someone, you can be saved. But the only problem with this matter is that it has broken my limits, and for this reason I have to join forces with those whom I hate and spurn, and do things against my conscience......"

At this, Marshall's voice was low and full of sorrow.

Then he laughed and said, "But what does it matter? As long as you're okay, then it's all worth it. ”

He looked at Renault, stroked his face, and said, "You're a good boy, I can see that Claire and Nora both like you, and I can't let them down anyway." So, trust me, I'm going to get you out. ”

Renaud let out a long sigh.

After hearing Marshall's plan, Renault knew he would be fine.

As the old general said, everything is just a transaction.

As long as the old general is willing to come up with some chips, on the basis of ensuring that his son is okay, I believe he will be willing to let Renault go. After all, what politicians are best at is compromise, and they get benefits from compromise and promotion.

But for some reason, Renault always felt that things were not so simple.

Even in the old general's eyebrows, there is still a trace of unresolved sorrow.

After comforting Renault, the old general left again.

In the following days, Renaud really felt that the people around him began to be friendly to him, and his defensive heart was not as heavy as before, and even people chatted with him from time to time. Probably to have a friendship with him, the "general's grandson-in-law".

Renault's lawyer finally arrived, his name was Lashcliff, the most famous and expensive barrister in Central Star.

He confessed to Renault and taught him how to deal with the defense in court - no matter how the work is done behind the scenes, the superficial work still needs to be done.

According to Lashcliff's request, Renault must not tell Meghan about the changes and rape and rape, he must admit that he and Meghan are friends and buy sex from Meghan, but he regrets it afterwards, and a brawl ensues.

"I don't understand why I say that?" Renault frowned: "It makes no sense. ”

"No, it makes sense. You don't know in prison that the news of Alpha Academy has spread out, and it is boiling, and since it involves two generals, there are many people who are concerned. General Alifeld didn't want that, so he wanted to weed them out of his statement. That's a point. In addition, this can also explain the injuries on Megan and you. ”

"But this will ruin Megan's reputation, she is not a prostitute or a woman!"

"That's exactly what we're going to do, and too many people are paying attention to it. If the victim were a, then she would have fewer sympathizers, and the pressure of the trial would be reduced. The barrister replied politely: "Believe me, I have handled many cases, and it is best to handle this matter in my way." ”

"But it's not fair to Megan!"

"Dead people don't need to be fair."

"No, I'm not going to accept this, you'd better find another way!" Renault replied.

So Rakcliff sighed.

He said to Renault: "Are you sure it's your choice?" No regrets. ”

"I'm sure." Renault replied firmly.

"I see." Lacliffe stood up and walked out the door.

Leaving the cell, Rakcliffe walked a little way to a small room.

Marshall was sitting there.

"He refused." LaCliffe said.

"I know." The old man sighed sadly, and on the big screen in front of him, Renault's expression was still in his eyes.

"This is a child who stands up for justice, and he is a rare good child. But justice will not help him defeat evil, much less set him free......" Marshall muttered.

He looked back at Lashcliff, "Since he refused, don't expect him to cooperate in that matter anymore, use the alternative." ”

"Are you sure? That means you have to give more. ”

"I'm sure." Marshall replied leisurely, looking at Renault's pure and innocent face: "Let me bear all the evils." ”
