Chapter 656: "Mutiny"
If it weren't for Kevin's professional response, Xia Feng really wouldn't know how to answer this.
He fanned Karn into a pig's head, which was too defensive, and the medical expenses were messy and added up to more than 70,000 yuan.
Xia Feng felt that according to this compensation range, if Karn dared to provoke him in the future, he would directly fight for 1 million.
....
In the face of Xia Feng and his lawyer's arguments, an official from the Supervision Office retorted.
"It was daytime, the location was on the highway, and you said that Karn attacked you with thugs blocking the road, and you fought back in self-defense, how can this be proved?"
Xia Feng was not convinced.
"Do you need proof? People want to kill me, if I don't have some ability, I guess I will confess there, there are dozens of people on the other side, I am alone, do you want me to use the corpse to prove it? ”
Kevin motioned to Xia Feng with his eyes to calm him down, and then said in a deep voice.
"I don't think my client needs to prove anything more in this matter, at most it is a dispute between students."
The Inspectorate did not intend to stop there.
"Ordinary disputes? The injured person is not a commoner, but a first-class nobleman, and according to the priority of habeas corpus of the nobles' privileges, a nobleman above the second level is physically injured in public, and the perpetrator needs to be severely punished. ”
Karn, with his face bandaged, stood up from the jury seat.
"It was Xia Feng who hit me first, and I am the victim!"
Xia Feng turned around angrily.
"Do you want a face?"
"You ....."
Karn, of course, was shameless, for his face had been slapped beyond recognition.
Karn pointed at Xia Feng with trembling fingers and said loudly.
"It's you who beat me, you are a champion of a sword fighting competition, how can I be arrogant enough to go to you for trouble."
"I'm going to Nima!"
Xia Feng had already seen that the person in charge of the case in the Supervision Office was obviously biased in favor of Karn, because Kahn's grandfather was the boss of the Supervision Office.
That's when Judge Willante spoke.
"Don't argue, this is the courtroom, Xia Feng, can you show other evidence that Karn attacked you first, or do you have any witnesses?"
The Royal Court adopted the principle of presumption of guilt, and if he did not have evidence to prove his innocence, he was guilty, and this rule was outrageous.
If he did have one witness, it was Scati, but there was no way to find him right now.
And even if she did, Scati's words would also be refuted, because she herself is still on bail.
Xia Feng lowered his head and clenched his fists, do you want to admit it?
Attacking the aristocracy, this crime can be big or small, and under normal circumstances, it can be settled with money, but looking at the posture of the Supervision Office today, I am afraid that he will be put in prison.
Just when Xia Feng had nothing to do, another voice came from the jury.
"I can testify for Xia Feng."
Marenleg stood up in a crisp suit.
"Your Excellency, Xia Feng took the initiative to call me at the time of the incident, he claimed on the phone that he had been attacked, and afterwards, I also took people to the scene, and the injured people were also sent to the hospital by our school, except for Master Kahn, the rest of the injured are unemployed, and many of them have criminal records, this matter must have been investigated by the Supervision Department."
Marenleg's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"I am an honorary advisor of the Royal Academy, and I also know a lot about the character of the students in the school, Young Master Karn of the Capet family is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and often bullies his classmates with his noble status, combined with what I saw when I arrived at the scene, I, Marenleg, testified for Xia Feng with the honor of the Malen family, and this matter Xia Feng was purely justified defense."
Karn excitedly pointed at Marenleg.
"What can you prove! I warn you, don't talk nonsense! ”
Marenleg glanced at Karn calmly.
"What I said is completely true, and there are guards from the Royal Academy who rushed with me to testify, among the injured people at that time, some of them personally admitted that you went against Xia Feng, do you want to call all those people over to confront you?"
"You ....."
Karn was dumbfounded, but it was Xia Feng who was even more surprised.
....
Xia Feng looked at Marenleg, who was testifying for him under great pressure, and couldn't figure out what the situation was at all.
In the final analysis, if it weren't for Marenleg's urging him to go to the academy to go through some bullshit withdrawal procedures, he would not have been caught by the Supervision Office.
The reason why he is so passive now is basically all done by Marenleg, why is this guy now acting as a yin and yang person, and still speaking for him?
...
Judge Willante looked at the officials of the Ombudsman's Office.
"Have the injured unemployed been investigated? Is the situation as Marenleg says? ”
The head of the Inspectorate said.
"The severity of the injuries has not been investigated in detail."
As the king's own brother, Wei Lantai was certainly not a fool, and he directly turned the information in his hand to the next page.
"Until this matter is investigated, Xia Feng cannot be convicted."
"Yes."
"And I would like to remind you of the Ombudsman's Office, to be mindful of your authority."
Capewamy's face was very gloomy, and he nodded lightly and said nothing.
...
Because of Marenleg's "mutiny", Karn's slap was completely in vain, and Xia Feng's attack on the nobles could only be stopped.
However, just as he had expected, the two things just now could only be regarded as appetizers, and the real trouble had just begun.
...
Wei Lantai, who was in the right position of the judge, looked at the information on the data, his face and voice became solemn, and he continued to say to Xia Feng.
"Earlier this month, there was a murder in the Royal Academy. Ricky was murdered in the boys' dormitory one night, Xia Feng, you should know about it. ”
Xia Feng's heart was cold, he didn't know why Lieqi's ** was mentioned in court.
"I know."
Judge Willante nodded.
"According to the intervention of the special investigation team of the Inspectorate, all the people who Ricky had contact with within a week before his death have been ruled out of suspicion, including you, but, just last week, the Inspectorate found an important clue in Rich's autopsy."
Wei Lantai put down the information in his hand and looked directly into Xia Feng's eyes.
"At the knife edge of the deceased Lieqi, a trace amount of source stone material was found, and the preliminary analysis of this content is the residue of the infected person's technique of activating the source stone through a weapon, the admission examination of the Royal Academy is rigorous, the infected person is expressly forbidden to enroll, and the teachers and staff of the academy are not infected."
Hearing this, Xia Feng probably understood.
Wei Lantai continued to say in a deep voice.
"Xia Feng, you had contact with Lie Qi before he died, and it is said that there were some unpleasant incidents, and according to your blood test, you are the only infected student in the Royal Academy, do you have anything to say?"
Lawyer Kevin, who was next to Xia Feng, immediately raised his hand.
"Your Excellency, Xia Feng has already said just now, he only contracted the ore disease a week ago, and Lieqi's death time is close to 1 month ago."
Wellante didn't take Kevin's word for it.
"As you just said, the Inspectorate currently has no evidence to prove the exact time of Xia Feng's infection, and you also can't prove that he became infected after Lieqi's death, according to the current investigation results, the murderer is an infected person, and Xia Feng is the only infected student who can freely enter and leave the Royal Academy."
The majestic voice of Weilantai resounded through the courtroom.
"Unless, you can provide an official medical report from a month ago, or you can tell who Richie's killer is."
