Chapter 108 That’s right, this is how the case will be complete.
Catherine looked tired and waved her hand, asking Katrina to take Shirley out of the royal court.
Shirley was sent to Huldah Palace.
Her current situation is very dangerous and she cannot return to the underground world. For the time being, she can only stay in the Herda Palace and be protected by a special person.
Shirley saw several familiar faces here, paused, and suddenly came to her senses, “Scarlett Shen is Scarlett?”
Chiye nodded, "That's right."
Shirley clenched her fists, "She killed my sister!"
No one wanted to discuss this topic with her.
Instruct Lilia to take good care of her and go find new evidence.
Lilia led Shirley to the room and whispered, "My prince is innocent."
…
…
Dzeko went to Connergate again, dug up the bones and brought them back.
When Shirley saw the corpse, her eyes widened and she was stunned for a long time.
She scolded Zheke angrily, hugged Senbai's bones tightly, and refused to let anyone touch them.
Riley stepped forward. "Since you said that on Starnet, you certainly don't want your sister to die in vain, right? And there are seven other innocent people. You must have thought about them, too, to muster up the courage to speak out. Things have come to this point, there's no turning back. Besides, don't you want to know who this body is? You're the only one who can do that now."
Shirley looked up and met Riley's eyes, dark green eyes, as deep as the abyss, with a faint light flowing in them.
She was silent for a moment, loosened her hands, and stared blankly at the skeleton in her arms with a numb expression.
My sister's voice, appearance and smile flashed before my eyes, so vivid and bright.
Tears welled up in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and cut her finger.
The bright red blood dripped into the bones and quickly melted into them.
This is Christine's skeleton!
How could one person have two bodies?
This news quickly spread throughout the Star Network.
A bigger conspiracy theory sparked heated discussion on StarNet.
At the same time.
The person in charge of the investigation institute also brought new news.
Among the people entering and leaving the laboratory, some people's optical computers showed abnormalities, and it was discovered that they had two sets of chips.
The court intervened in the matter.
All those who had doubts about the chip were brought into the courtroom and handed over to a special person to unlock the optical computer and check the chip.
Caroline was taken away, and before leaving, she handed the reagent she had researched to Ashley.
After a day and night of trial.
All eight people confessed that the extra chips in their brains all came from another person.
These people are the ones who left the 403 Institute and disappeared.
But they denied the murder.
When it was Caroline's turn, she smiled in confusion and pointed to her head and said, "My chip is Christine's. It was implanted three months ago. Scarlett killed her a few days ago. Her death should have nothing to do with me, right?"
The chip recognizes its owner and can only be removed after the person dies.
Her words, seemingly unintentional, indirectly proved Scarlett's innocence.
Christine died three months ago.
Whose body was that in Swansea City?
The Inquisition can extract memories for trial, but this involves privacy and requires authorization from the Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Royal Court before it can be initiated.
Davis wrote the application herself.
An hour later, authorization was granted and memory extraction began.
The deceased was Susanna.
Mental power level: S level.
The superpower is the ability to change into the appearance of other people, including genetic changes.
But when the court tried to extract her memory before her death to see who the murderer was, her memory was blank.
Another problem arises.
Scarlett didn't kill Christine, but she might have killed Susanna by mistake.
Moreover, Susanna is also a civilian.
Things took many twists and turns, and soon the first trial of Scarlett's murder case came.
Brian appeared in court as defense attorney.
At the trial.
The lawyers on both sides were eloquent and cunning, and the exchange of verbal attacks was relentless. Even the way they questioned witnesses was varied, and they always managed to find loopholes and retort at the first opportunity.
Although the institute is in dire straits, Hill, as the director of the institute, is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He can still answer the lawyers' questions flawlessly and handle them with ease.
Brian hadn't gotten the upper hand several times, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. He frowned and looked a little angry. Just as he was about to vent his anger, he turned around and saw Scarlett sitting in the dock glaring at him, as if warning him to calm down.
This look was clearly very annoying, like a bucket of cold water poured on Brian's head, but Brian somehow calmed down, took a deep breath, and asked calmly: "Hill, what were you doing when Scarlett took action?"
Hill said, "I'm drinking tea."
"Where does Scarlett stand with you?"
"Front left."
"Did she hold the knife in her left hand or her right hand?"
"Right hand."
"Is there anyone to her left?"
"She brought servants with her."
Brian changed the subject, his eyes suddenly becoming shrewd, "So, you were in a blind spot and didn't see Scarlett kill anyone?"
As soon as this was said, the prosecutor's lawyer quickly stood up and objected, "Objection, the defense lawyer is suspected of guiding the witness to speak!"
Brian explained, "Your Honor, Scarlett held a knife in her right hand, and there was someone to her left. There was a brief blind spot when she swung the knife. The knife could have gone towards the victim, or it could have gone towards her servant. I must ask for clarification."
Sandra raised his eyelids, the corners of his mouth raised inadvertently, and said, "Continue."
Brian continued, "Witness Hill, please answer."
Hill recalled the scene at the time, "I did not see Scarlett stabbing the deceased with a knife."
It was Moulton's turn to appear in court.
His testimony was so simple that Brian didn't even need to use any cross-examination techniques. He just asked, "Did you really see Scarlett kill someone?"
Morton said with certainty: "Of course! I pushed open the door and saw Christine lying in a pool of blood, and Scarlett holding a knife. Who else could have killed Christine if not him!"
"Your Honor, I have finished my questions."
Brian sat down calmly.
It’s over so soon?
Morton looked at Sandra with a confused look on his face.
Sandra rolled her eyes.
The deceased was Susanna, and you're playing into her hands by mentioning Christine!
The trial is over.
Hill walked out of the courtroom and was taken away shortly afterwards.
Scarlett returned to the cell and continued to lie flat.
…
…
Two more days passed.
There is new progress in the case of the research institute.
When the Inquisition took out those second set of chips, it discovered SS-level mental power.
Following the mental power upwards, I found Vanessa.
Her special ability is to lock chips so that they will not be destroyed when the original owner dies.
Vanessa was brought into the courtroom, and after questioning, she admitted that she had killed people to get the chip.
As for the mastermind behind the scenes.
Vanessa hesitated for a long time before saying, "Ernie."
Former director of the institute.
He passed away last year and is now a dead person, so there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing.
Some things should be stopped at the right time. The court did not continue to investigate further. After finding relevant evidence, it imprisoned all the people involved and set a date for trial.
While they were collecting evidence, they also found out a lot about Susanna.
Susanna is Vanessa's accomplice.
Both were involved in the killing.
While reading the case files, Davis discovered a clue and decided to combine the two cases into one. She connected all the details together, found a breakthrough, and interrogated Vanessa again.
After several interrogations, Vanessa was under too much psychological pressure and finally admitted that she had killed Susanna and put the blame on Scarlett.
Scarlett has been investigating Christine recently. She is worried about being exposed, so she sets up a plan to let Susanna pretend to be Christine and meet Scarlett, and then takes the opportunity to lure Scarlett into killing Susanna.
She put drugs in the tea, and the smell of the tea would make people dizzy and cause memory distortion.
She took advantage of that time to kill Susanna and frame Scarlett.
She hadn't expected Morton's unexpected intrusion.
So she didn't have time to destroy the evidence at the first moment.
The evidence is the dagger in Scarlett's hand.
That was the dagger Scarlett brought with her. When she stabbed Susanna with it, she found that there was something wrong with the dagger and it could not hurt anyone at all, so she took out the knife she brought with her and stabbed her a second time.
During multiple examinations of the body, the forensic doctor discovered that the fatal wound on the victim's chest was suspected to be caused by secondary damage.
That means she was stabbed a second time in the same place.
The action was so steady, accurate and ruthless that there was not much deviation. Only after repeated inspections could the difference be detected.
It was only after seeing this clue that Davis merged the two cases into one.
Davis then questioned, "What was Hill's purpose in being there? To take Scarlett to find Christine? She's more capable than you, and she shouldn't be fooled by that cup of tea."
Vanessa closed her eyes, her throat a little dry, and after a long while she said, "She is an accomplice."
That's right.
This way the case will be complete.
