Chapter 659: Soul Torture
Princess Verin's attitude made the Inspectorate dare not question Vilisa's testimony anymore, and at this point, Richie's case was completely revealed.
On the chair behind Willante, Verin spoke softly.
"Don't be nervous, uncle, please continue, I will only listen and will not interfere with your judgment."
"Okay."
Verin said that she would not interfere, but Xia Feng knew that there would be ghosts if she didn't interfere.
With Verin's arrival, the atmosphere in the courtroom has changed subtly.
Theoretically, as the chief judge, Wei Lantai is still the highest authority in the court, but in fact, whether it is the Supervision Office or the Yuan Council, they are secretly staring at Verin's face.
....
Later, Willante flipped to the next page of the materials on his desktop, and it was clear that the Ombudsman's submission to the Royal Court was far from over.
Looking at the information in front of him, Wei Lantai's expression was solemn, and he didn't speak hastily, as if he was organizing language.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice.
"Xia Feng, the investigation of the Supervision Department shows that you yourself run a chamber of commerce in Notting City, right?"
Xia Feng just wanted to answer, but the words came to his lips and stopped again.
In the outside world, the president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is Nanfeng, and he almost said this sentence in court.
Thinking about it carefully, he can't push Nanfeng to the cusp, because Nanfeng's life experience is also a bit complicated, and at this time, he must take all the responsibilities related to the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce first.
"That's right, the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is run by me."
"Do you have any partners besides you?"
"No, I'm the chairman, and the rest are all temporary workers."
On the issue of the Chamber of Commerce, Wei Lantai did not ask in detail, with the means of the Supervision Office, it is impossible not to know that the predecessor of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce was the Friedo Chamber of Commerce, but the gang dispute obviously has nothing to do with the ** that is about to be mentioned.
....
After confirming that Xia Feng is the boss of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, the main topic finally came.
Wei Lantai said in a serious voice.
"According to the secret report of the Supervision Office, three months ago, there was a camouflaged convoy on the defense line of the Southern Border Military District that left the country, and after entering Letania, the convoy was nowhere to be found, but according to the route and return time, it was basically confirmed that the destination was Salgon."
Hearing this foreshadowing, Xia Feng's heart was already cold, and sure enough, Tai Lin did not keep his promise, and he reported the matter to the Supervision Department.
Wellante continued.
"According to the intelligence of the International Security Department of the Supervision Office, the Sargon government received a batch of finished source stones three months ago, the number of which was about 3,000, and this batch of source stones was put into the army, and it is precisely because of the support of this batch of source stones that the Sargon government resisted the offensive of the rebels and saved the day."
Willante paused, glanced at Verin sitting behind him out of the corner of his eye, and continued.
"According to the time comparison, the time when the Sargon government received the source stone and the convoy leaving the south of our country perfectly fits, through the information obtained by the Ministry of State Security, there has never been a precedent for the eastern countries of Terra to supply source stones to the neighboring countries, and for all countries, the source stones are in short supply, that is to say, the source stones received by the Sargon government are not from the official, but from the smuggled source stones."
"It is not uncommon for international gangs to smuggle source stones, but the gangs around Sargon do not have the ability to provide such a large amount, which proves that the composition of this batch of source stones may be cooperative, and combined with the convoy discovered by the Ministry of State Security in advance, this batch of source stones has been basically determined and transported from the south of our country."
....
The air in the entire courtroom seemed to freeze, and Wei Lantai looked into Xia Feng's eyes and asked.
"Xia Feng, do you have anything to say about this matter?"
The corners of Xia Feng's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and then, he closed his eyes slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression was stunned and innocent.
"What? Smuggling Source Stones? What does this have to do with me, my chamber of commerce is doing serious business, 3,000 finished source stones? Oh my God, unless I robbed the treasury, how could I get such a huge amount of dangerous goods. ”
Wei Lantai chuckled, Xia Feng's reaction was impeccable, but it was clear that the judge was not watching the show.
"Xia Feng, don't be in a hurry to deny it, according to the intelligence tracked by the Ministry of State Security, this convoy that left from the south finally returned to Notting City, these cars are all vehicles of your Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, how do you explain this?"
In the face of this soul question, Xia Feng was calm on the surface, but in fact, the cold hairs stood up.
How to explain it?
Could it be that the car was stolen? Or did he change the cars? This was obviously a self-defeating confession, because the cars were later returned to the Chamber of Commerce unharmed.
Or is it the ghost of the head of the chamber of commerce? No, this basically can't be broken, and you will definitely be caught looping.
....
Forcibly calming down, Xia Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, even if these cars are mine, it won't prove anything, because I don't have so many finished source stones at all."
Xia Feng was gambling, he bet that the Supervision Department didn't know about his business of processing source stones.
However, it didn't matter if he could take out 3,000 source stones, and the judge's focus would not be led by his nose.
Wei Lantai's voice was serious.
"As I said earlier, the composition of this batch of source stones is likely to be a cooperative relationship, and I am not asking you now if you have the ability to provide 3,000 finished source stones, I am asking you to explain why your convoy is leaving the country and heading to Salgon."
Xia Feng clenched his fists and replied.
"I'm going to Sargon for business."
"What business?"
"Sell sugar cane."
"Sell to whom?"
Xia Feng couldn't make it up anymore, the more he said, the more loopholes there would be, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Guess what?"
"Well...."
Xia Feng knew that his answer was not even self-deception, and the court would not continue to delve into the issue of selling sugar cane, because Wei Lantai was not a fool, and he didn't believe that the convoy was going to sell sugar cane at all.
....
Willante raised his hand lightly and gestured to the members of the Royal Knights in the courtroom.
"Huh!"
The sound of the saber being drawn was uniform, and the atmosphere of slaughter immediately permeated.
Xia Feng glanced at it quietly, and it was obvious that these sabers were not drawn at him, but another person in the court at this time.
....
Wei Lantai crossed the summer breeze and glanced imperceptibly at Vina, who was sitting in the first row of the jury box.
Then, he continued to ask Xia Feng.
"This batch of source stones is from Victoria, and your chamber of commerce is in charge of transportation, Xia Feng, now you have a chance to make up for it, tell me who you are working with in this batch of business."
"Bang!"
Xia Feng slapped the table violently, stood up and yelled angrily.
"Cooperate with a fart, Lao Tzu has said it, I'm not smuggling source stones!"
The two sabers were instantly placed on Xia Feng's neck, and the soldiers of the Royal Knights warned loudly.
"Sit down!"
Xia Feng's eyes showed murderous aura, and in just one second, he secretly estimated the strength of the troops in the court at this time, did he want to kill them directly?
However, Vina is also here, he doesn't know why Vina is coming to the jury in person today, if he wants to turn his face, then he will take Vina with him, the matter has come to this point, even if he doesn't admit it, the judge is obviously already suspicious of the Glasgow gang.
Willante in the judge's seat narrowed his eyes.
"Xia Feng, let me ask you one last time, who are you cooperating with in this batch of source stone smuggling business."
Xia Feng's eyes were gloomy.
"I'll answer you one last time, I didn't smuggle source stones."
"Okay, then you can explain to me now why your team car is going to Sargon!"
"I ....."
At this moment, the doors of the courtroom were pushed open again.
A deep voice followed.
"I'll explain this."
Eight soldiers in military uniforms lined up on either side of the doorway, and the ranks of the uniforms were made of black, a color that represented the border military district.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the courtroom, the commander-in-chief of the border military district, General Gleason, stepped in.
