Chapter 66 66
“Our only request: the truth!”
“Our only desire: the truth!”
“The only thing that can appease the soul of the sacrificed hero: the truth!”
“The Claude family respond quickly, otherwise we will not leave!”
“Protest against Claude nobles’ use of the right to seal, we are the same person under the sky of the empire, and have the right to pursue the equality of life!”
“The unjustly killed hero soul is watching you, Edie Claude, how can you sleep with a conscience!!”
Since Idi Claude’s live broadcast accident, the Claude family has also tried to silence the voices of the media, and Idi Claude himself and his residence were surrounded by the people of the Empire who came to ask for the truth.
Edie Claude, who was hiding in the house, looked out the window and saw a crowd of demonstrators in darkness. The bloodshot under his eyes almost occupied his entire eyeball.
In the beginning, there were only a few dozen people alone. Later, the families of the victims jointly released a blood letter with handprints of 100,000 people on the star network, demanding justice for their sacrificed family, children and Major General Pei.
As soon as this blood book was published on the Star Network, it caused an earth-shaking sensation. Thousands of imperial citizens spontaneously went to the imperial government, the procuratorate, and various administrative agencies to protest and march.
Among them, the most crowded place is Claude’s mansion, where tens of thousands of angry and excited people gathered. The iron railing gate of the historic garden of Claude’s mansion was pushed down by the surging people, trampled into a pile of scrap iron, exquisite and expensive colored glass The colored windows were also smashed with stones by the angry people, and the main entrance of Claude’s mansion was about to be broken into by the rioting protesters.
If it weren’t for the large number of people, the Imperial Police were worried about a **** incident and sent police to expel the demonstrators. I’m afraid that the timid Claude family hiding in Claude’s mansion would not be able to sit safely as they are now. Discussion on the chair.
Idi Claude was in a turmoil, because the alcohol content of his blood was detected after the news broadcast, everyone in the family was blaming him, and the second prince Kyle angrily stated that if he didn’t deal with it well This matter will expel the Claude family from the nobles.
Demonstrators have been protesting for more than a week.
The second son of the Claude family worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire and moved out to avoid the limelight. The only people in the family were Edie Claude, his father Charles Claude and his newly completed man. The arrogant Omega sister Karma Cloud.
This week, the servants of Claude’s mansion did not even dare to go out, let alone propose to purchase. The Claude family always considered themselves to be noble nobles and hired fresh ingredients cooked by senior ancient chefs. , When will I take nutritional supplements for several days in a row.
Sister Karma looked at the unpalatable nutritional supplements on the table day after day, and then recalled that the reputation of the Claude family had declined, and even the best friends who used to make close friends did not want to be involved with her. The portrait of the De family was exiled by the entire noble circle.
The glamorous life is no longer what it used to be. Even the second prince Kyle, whom he admires, has called for many times to reprimand his father and elder brother. Seeing their faces become increasingly haggard, the noise of the protesters outside is constantly in his ears. .
Sister Karma, who has never suffered such a blow, lay on the table and cried bitterly, and couldn’t help complaining to her elder brother who caused such a disaster: “If you didn’t talk nonsense in the live news, our Claude family would not be Falling down like this!”
After speaking, her sister Karma wiped her tears, lifted her skirt, glanced at Idi Claude, who had become haggard and vicissitudes of life with deep resentment and dissatisfaction, and left.
Edie Claude lowered his head, his red eyes dimmed again, and he repeatedly tortured himself in his heart, why…why did he lose control of his reason and say such words on such an important occasion…
Father Charles Claude had just received a communication and left the hall temporarily. When he came back, his face was dignified and gloomy. He walked over with heavy steps and looked at Idie Claude with those complicated and difficult eyes. .
“Edie, you have always been my proud son, but this time you have disappointed me too much. Now the people from the Imperial Prosecutor’s Office are coming, and the person behind the supervision is the unselfish Justice Bruce recognized by the Empire. No matter how much relationship you have, and how much profit you promise to give away to the Claude family, no one dares to get involved in this mess.”
Facing his father’s disappointed and frustrated eyes, Edie Claude’s back trembled, and he lowered his head gloomily, his eyes full of despair, and his voice was hoarse and dry after he hadn’t slept for several days.
“I’m sorry, father, it’s me that implicated the family.”
Charles Claude felt a lot of pain in his heart. This was the eldest son he had cultivated to inherit the family for so long. In order to protect the rest of the family, he had to follow the instructions of the second prince Kyle.
“Edie, drink this.”
Edie Claude stared blankly at his father handing him a bottle of gray-purple potion, and murmured, “What is this?”
“The medicine that can’t make you speak for the time being, Edie, your illness has not been cured, so we have to do this in order to keep you from talking nonsense in court.”
Edie Claude stared in astonishment, covered his face with ten fingers and lowered his head, and an invisible corner of his mouth twitched into a mocking smile.
-What disease? tell the truth? !
Now his family wants to poison him personally, everyone is complaining about him, but isn’t that the one who ordered it? Why let him suffer all the consequences!
They know that Duan can’t refute his own criminal evidence in court. In order to seal his mouth and not expose the criminal evidence of the other people’s fate, they even want to be poisonous and want to push all the crimes on him alone! After so many innocent civilian soldiers died, his confession has only one end result is the death penalty!
If you want me to die alone, dream!
Edie Claude took the bottle of dumb medicine, and under his father’s complicated and guilty eyes, he split his mouth and fell to the ground!
shhh-
The glass shattered to the ground, and Charles Claude’s surprised eyes in the clear and loud voice instantly became terrifying.
Idi Claude was emotional, and a **** smell came out of his throat. He wiped the blood dripping from his mouth at will, and seemed to not care. He stared at his father with wide eyes, and shouted maliciously. .
“Why should you be afraid of me telling the truth?! Since my future and life are about to be ruined, why do you family members who usually **** my blood still lead a noble life! If you hadn’t persecuted me with your family’s orders? To assassinate Prince Edward, I was going to be promoted to lieutenant instead of holding the position of second lieutenant for several years!!”
“Father, oh no, Charles, if I die, the Claude family will bury me with me!” Edie Claude looked at Charles Claude with a smile with red eyes.
The ferocious smug smile suddenly distorted the description of the good son in Charles’s mind who admired his father and loved the family.
Charles Claude closed his eyes in disappointment and said, “Come on, Young Master Edie is crazy, hurry up and stop him!”
Suddenly, four or five face guards rushed out of the house, and violently pressed Idi Claude, who wanted to escape, to the ground. His limbs were buckled upside down. In pain, Idi Claude spat out a large mouthful of blood. The pain in the body’s organs became more and more unbearable, and at this time, his red eyes stared at his father fiercely, and with guilt in his eyes, he poured the dumb medicine into his mouth!
Edie Claude resisted fiercely, but his arm was violently clamped and dislocated by the guard, his red eyes looked at his father with hatred to the extreme, his lips were bleeding, and his father still cherished cheap and ridiculous guilt. Poison poured into his mouth, he really hated it!
Not an hour out.
The people from the Imperial Prosecutor’s Office brought Idi Claude to investigate.
————————————-
A hurried visitor came to Justice Bruce’s residence.
“Have some black tea?” Justice Bruce said, looking at the handsome Beta, who was not here for the first time. Those pure royal blue eyes really suspected that he was the illegitimate child of King Edmund who was living in the outside world.
Si Huaixi’s deep and cold blue eyes glanced at Justice Bruce, and indifferently handed him a stack of letters and storage disks, the white gloves on his hands were slightly worn, and his fingers were faintly revealed. Knuckle-out metal ring.
Justice Bruce took the information and looked at the confidential letter proving that the Claude family colluded with the Federation. The words involved the smuggling of explosives that were strictly prohibited by the empire, as well as the conspiracy to persecute Major General Pei. The files in the storage disk also included a video call between the two parties. evidence of.
Including the criminal scandal of the royal family, the second prince Kyle and the Claude family conspired against each other, not only colluding with the star thieves, but also trying to kill the life of Major General Pei, and after the failure of the plan, he did not hesitate to collude with the Federation, killing Major General Pei and many innocent people and imperial soldiers. Even the second prince Kyle tried to kill his half-brother, Prince Edward, a few years ago. He found out the evidence.
If this criminal evidence is put in court, the second prince Kyle will be ruined, and the series of turmoil caused by it is estimated that the royal family will lose popular support.
It even caused a huge wave in Justice Bruce’s eyes, and he began to worry about Si Huaixi in his heart.
He could see that this young man was not simple. He dared to come to his home alone at first, and calmly negotiate with him in the face of his gunfire, and let him be the judge of this K108 hijacking case.
Justice Bruce is known as the conscience of the empire. No matter what class or status he is, he unselfishly decides that he will fight for equal rights to defend the rights of vulnerable victims, especially at the retirement age, when he was rehired by the Supreme Court of the Empire. Honorary life-long Justice of the Imperial Court, and was even proposed by the king to grant him the title of peerage. Justice Bruce, who was originally the second son of a nobleman, refused to inherit the title of nobleman when he was young and vigorous. Now he is 158 years old, and the average life expectancy of an imperial person is usually 180 years old. A nobleman, so he still refused.
Over the years, Justice Bruce has encountered many assassinations in order to handle the case. The scars after the shooting still remain on his chest, which is now aged and aging. The security and defense system of his residence passes through his hands. Was intruded by this young man.
The young man had no killing intent in his eyes, and did not want to kill him. He just hoped that he could take over the case. Justice Bruce agreed.
But he didn’t expect that this young man is not only simple, but recently he heard that a large number of high-level officials in the Federation died. Everyone was in danger, but he could not find the perpetrator.
It so happened that this young man came here with the confidential information of the Claude family colluding with the Federation. These evidences can only be obtained in the Federation. Combined with the news that this young man disappeared in the Empire for a while, he had to let him do more. think.
Justice Bruce pressed down the information on the table with his hands with a heavy heart, sighed deeply, looked at Si Huaixi with kind and wise eyes and said, “I will present these evidences, you spent a lot of energy rushing back from the Federation. , this is a little cookie made by my chef, it is very suitable for eating when you are hungry after dealing with official business, do you want some?”
“No need.” Si Huaixi said coldly, and planned to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Justice Bruce stopped Si Huaixi, inadvertently saw the traces of his ring, and asked in a gentle tone, “Who are you from Major General Pei?”
Si Huaixi lowered the deep meaning of his eyes.
“spouse.”
A glimpse of clarity flashed in Justice Bruce’s eyes, and his tone was a touch of melancholy and complexly asked: “What if I didn’t agree to you at the beginning? No one in the entire empire except me would dare to take over this case, you should be Pei again. How does the major general uphold the truth and justice?”
Si Huaixi gave Justice Bruce a very dark look.
“Justice that cannot be done can be made up for with blood, isn’t it? Officer Luo Xu’s good friend.”
Justice Bruce’s dark brown eyes flashed with surprise, how many years…he hadn’t heard the name.
Luo Xu, his little Beta police officer, a good friend of justice and ridiculous, he deeply loves those who dare not approach.
As the second son of the noble family, the only Alpha, everyone told him to find a noble noble Omega to marry, but he fell in love with this ordinary but bright Beta.
When he became a trainee judge of the court, he watched Luo Xu as a local police officer, pursuing those cases that could not be overturned and those victims of tragic deaths day and night, but because the nobles were involved, he was ordered to stop by his superiors. trace.
He ridiculed him with awkward concern and told him to give up. He, a commoner, did not want the nobles to confront him, but Luo Xu still did it resolutely.
On the day he died, Luo Xu told him with bright eyes and hope that he had found a witness.
result.
Luo Xu died, and even the evidence he collected was burned in that fire.
In order to avenge Luo Xu, he disregarded the family’s orders and insisted on confronting the nobleman. In the end, he was expelled from the family and lost his status as a nobleman.
The truth is not as beautiful as what the outside world said. It was not that he refused to inherit the title of aristocrat when he was young and vigorous, but that he was kicked out of the house by a family that feared higher status and powerful nobles.
He has been cornered, all the evidence has been destroyed, Luo Xu’s tragic death, the son of the aristocratic who escaped the crime is still a high-ranking and unblemished successful person, who is about to graduate from Imperial University with a major in politics, and will inherit the family’s political capital and become a An official with a promising future in the Empire’s reputation.
But his little police officer was buried in that fire, and his future and light disappeared that day.
How can he bear it!
This became the fuse in his heart.
Since the channels of justice cannot deliver justice, even if he will not compromise his means, he will drag the nobleman into the abyss.
Finally he did.
It was set up to let that noble son kill another noble son who had accompany him.
Since the deceased aristocrat’s son is still one rank higher, and he is the only son in the family, no matter how bad he does, the family behind him will wipe his ass, and even the aristocratic son is trying to curry favor with him. of.
Because of the death of the nobleman, the two families went to court for this, and finally the nobleman with a promising future was sentenced to death.
The moment Bruce heard the death of the nobleman, he thought he would be satisfied and finally avenged Luo Xu, but he still cried in despair and sadness.
Because he violated the justice in Luo Xu’s eyes, and did not use evidence to convict the descendants of the nobles who killed so many people.
Luo Xu’s death will eventually be in vain. No one knows the sacrifice he paid to overturn the case. In the eyes of others, he died in a fire, not a heroic sacrifice in the process of tracing a criminal.
He is not a fair and strict justice, he is just a penitent without sacrificing means.
