Chapter 189 The Court Begins Immediately!

Chapter 189 The Court Begins Immediately!
No one can stop the passage of time, and no one can stop the rising of the sun. When the sun gradually covered the earth, carriages appeared one after another on the long street in the early morning, and at the same time, bursts of steam sounded in the distance The roar of the locomotive.

These people came from all over the empire, and they arrived here overnight by the fastest means of transportation that they could think of , there were bright and friendly smiles on their faces, but they were cursing in their hearts, wishing that all the carriages around them would overturn now and crush the thighs of all the annoying guys except themselves.

At 9:30 in the morning, the auditorium on the first floor of the administrative building of the School of Life Sciences was already full. For these newspaper reporters, the first-hand report is their own life, and the importance of this kind of report [Death of Professor Charles Darwin] Sex, approaching the ancestral graves of eighteen generations of his ancestors.

This group of people didn't know why such important information was released by the vice president of the School of Life Sciences, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.

But since the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and the leaders of the major news industries have all nodded in acquiescence, then these reporters are naturally like mice seeing rotten meat, ants smelling honey, even if they are having trouble with their honeymoon wives, they immediately pull up their pants. Get on the train heading here.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the venue was as quiet as before the war. Finally, an old man with a straight back walked onto the high platform in front of the venue.

And when he sat down behind that table, there were some nervous sounds of chairs moving off the court.

"Hello, everyone. I am the current vice president of the School of Life Sciences, Joseph Holker. I have called you here this time to announce the death of the old dean, Professor Darwin."

There was no preface. The deputy dean was adhering to the extremely concise style of doing things as a scientific researcher. He didn't even mention the name of the old dean, so he went straight to the point.

The rustling sound of the pen tip across the paper gathered together, and it was louder than expected. It may also be because no one dared to make any unnecessary noise except for the old man on the stage, for fear of disturbing the other party's speech. Rhythm.

"The cause of his death is something that no one in the scientific research community wants to see, but it is an indisputable fact.

To put it simply, Professor Darwin has been concentrating on the research of a new technology for nearly 30 years. This technology has not yet been named. Professor Darwin seems to want to change the contractual relationship between humans and demons through this experiment.

This is a good theoretical direction, but unfortunately, he failed in the end, and he himself died because of the failure of the experiment."

Finally, some suppressed but irrepressible exclamations sounded from the crowd.

In the end, the old dean died because of his own experiment failure! ! !

Although I don't know the specific details, but if this kind of headline is written, it is enough to sell the newspaper of the day to the extent of printing three or even four consecutive editions.

However, no one thought that this explosive news was actually just a small opening of today's press conference.

because next
"Bang~ bang bang~"

Just outside the venue, there were bursts of weird muffled noises, as if someone was hitting their head against the wall.

A few seconds later, with a creak, the door of the meeting room was slowly pushed open, and then a man wearing a thick windbreaker walked in. This man's face was too three-dimensional, so he didn't look so pleasing , with a cigarette in his mouth, which made those non-smokers frown, seeming to be even more bored, and most importantly, this person was holding the collar of a security guard who had obviously passed out, anyway Just like that, dragging and dragging, while walking towards the front desk of the venue.

A flash of fleeting anger flashed in Vice President Hulk's eyes, but the detective's arrival was already expected, so he didn't panic at all.He knew that the detective had a certain force base, and those security personnel should not be able to stop him.But so what, the empire has never been a place to rely on force to speak, except for the old man who has long since receded from his glory and cared for his life, there has never been a person in history who can control the right to speak by relying on force.

And with so many reporters watching, his behavior of forcibly breaking into the venue will only show that he has nothing to do, like a joke waiting to be embarrassing.

"This is the press conference site, please go out." The deputy dean said in an extremely calm and cold voice, as if he was too lazy to explain to the reporters who this guy was.

That's right, during this period of time, the detective in front of me did do some disturbing things, which made Vice President Hulk almost forget that at the beginning, he never regarded this private detective as an opponent look at.

"Oh?" Sherlock's tone seemed to be asking rhetorically, "Are you really going to let me out?"

"I repeat, this is the venue of the press conference. Your current behavior is already very bad. I hope that before the gendarme arrives."

"Okay, okay~" Sherlock spread his hands helplessly, which caused the back of the security guard he was carrying to hit the ground with a thud: "I just think that the old Dean Darwin died of murder. It shouldn't just be covered up like this, but you, as the main messenger, are here to hold a press conference openly, which is ridiculous.

But I have always been a man of rules and know the principle of first come, first served, so I will tell you first, and I will tell you the truth after you are done. "

After finishing speaking, Sherlock was quite embarrassed, cast an apologetic look at the people around him, and then turned around to leave.

It was quiet all around.
Vice President Hulk seemed to be taken aback by the other party's words, and the reporters present also seemed to be taken aback. They opened their mouths slightly, and the words of the man who broke in suddenly echoed in their minds. None of them reacted.

It wasn't until Sherlock was about to walk to the entrance of the venue that a reporter suddenly came to his senses. He stood up like he lost consciousness: "Mr., did you just say murder?"

"Oh, yes." Sherlock turned his head indifferently: "The dean died of murder"

Just the second after this sentence was spoken!
With a bang, all the people in the venue stood up suddenly, and then, like a group of wild wolves who had been hungry for seven or eight days, howled and rushed towards Sherlock, and some even rushed towards Sherlock in order to get a little ahead. He even pinched the neck of the colleague in front of him, knocked him down with a chokehold, and squeezed forward by stepping on his back.

With this posture, even Sherlock couldn't help being startled, and sighed. The professionalism of these reporters is a bit too much.

At this moment, Vice President Holker on the stage showed an irritable expression on his face, not that he was afraid of the so-called truth in Sherlock's mouth, he was very confident in his means, all The insider is dead, who can find out the truth?
He just felt that as long as the death of the old dean was announced at this time, the matter of his control of the School of Life Sciences was equivalent to a certainty, but at this time, a bastard came to mess around.

So, he slapped the table angrily a few times, and shouted loudly like he usually did when he was in a meeting with the subordinates of the Academy of Sciences: "Quiet! That's just a liar!"

Of course, under this atmosphere, he also knew that no one would listen to him.

After several angry shouts to no avail, the vice president immediately ordered the staff on the side to contact the guards of the Academy of Sciences.And this move made everything that followed into an even more chaotic situation.

Guards and gendarmes arrived soon after, and they prepared to drink away the crowd and take Sherlock away.
Unexpectedly, the group of reporters suddenly showed an unbelievable unity at such a time, surrounded Sherlock heavily, and began to push and scold each other with the guards in turn, with a look of "If you dare Take this person away, and I will fight you with my life' posture.

This is difficult.
Although the empire is still under the general environment of centralized power, the media may be endowed with bias, but a vice president of the School of Life Sciences certainly does not have the ability to control public opinion, so no one dares to have any conflicts with so many reporters. Conflicts, and if the bastard detective is forcibly arrested, it will make all these behaviors look like they are trying to cover up.

All of a sudden, these security personnel were also taken aback.

I can't really beat all the newspaper people to the ground with an electric baton.

Fortunately, after half an hour, the chaos finally stopped.
But the nature of this press conference seems to have changed.

On the high platform of the meeting place, another chair was added, and the detective who broke in was sitting on the chair, about two meters away from Vice President Hulk, facing each other face to face, and a group of reporters from various newspapers and periodicals were all in the audience. With eyes wide open, the nib of the pen he was holding was pressed tightly against the notebook, ready to go, as if he was afraid of dropping a word.

"I'm really sorry, it's probably the last thing you want to see things get into this situation." Sherlock crossed his legs and said with a smile.

Vice President Hulk's face was gloomy, but he was only angry, not panicked at all: "If I were you, I would apologize to everyone right now, and then go to the legal department to surrender, otherwise, your series today behavior will become the most ridiculous farce in the history of the School of Life Sciences."

"Really? I don't think so." Sherlock acted like a normal person: "You are the highest-ranked murderer I have caught in my career. To tell you the truth, I am quite excited now."

The two said a few words to each other like this
However, the reporters below were already buzzing with the explosive news, and finally one of them couldn't wait to stand up:

"Excuse me, can you introduce yourself?"

"Of course, next Sherlock Holmes, from London, is a private detective."

Swish, swipe, scribbling, some whispering.

Wait, this guy is a private investigator?

These whispers are understandable, because in the general concept, the profession of [private detective] has never been an officially recognized law enforcement officer. These people have no business license and no industry rules. To some extent, private detectives are paid to do things for others.

Therefore, some people couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts——can the words of the person in front of them be taken as facts?

Well, actually, but whether the detective was telling the truth or not, the picture of him sitting and looking at each other with the vice president of the School of Life Sciences was enough to make the headlines.

"Oh, private detective?" Vice President Hulk shook his head coldly: "I really don't know where you came from, and you don't even have a position as a police officer. What's the reference for your words? Could it be that there is a random person on the street who is crazy, shouting that the sun will fall tomorrow, and a group of reporters will immediately surround him, and then expect whether the speech of the other party will make the headlines tomorrow?"

What he said was not only talking about Sherlock in front of him, but he was also expressing his dissatisfaction with the reporters in the audience, even before he knew the identity of the other party, he jumped on him like crazy, you all want the headlines Are you crazy?

Not to mention, the vice president is really right, this group of people just want to make headlines and go crazy!
The deputy dean of the School of Life Sciences murdered the old dean
This kind of news is enough to turn any journalist into a lunatic instantly!
But then again, it would be even better if the person wasn't a private eye.

Just thought of this. There was a "creak".

The door of the venue was pushed open again.

And as the door was pushed open, a group of people walked in.

The leader was a woman, wearing an ordinary dress, but walking quickly, with a cold look in her eyes. From the moment she came in, her gaze never left Vice President Hulk on the stage.

"Mr. Holmes is indeed just a private detective, but he is a professional case consultant I hired to investigate the cause of Professor Darwin's death. I agree with all the conclusions he said. From now on, what he said is equivalent to what I said."

The woman walked and talked until she reached the seat closest to the high platform, and then looked at a reporter in the seat.

The reporter was stared at uncomfortably: "Excuse me, are you?"

"Catherine Charles Darwin, the daughter of the dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences, is the only living relative of the deceased; from a legal perspective, the news of the deceased's death should be released by me to have social effects, but Mr. Holker doesn't seem to know This, his death announcement meeting today, did not inform me at all."

The reporter had been covering the news for more than ten years. Hearing this, the hairs of his whole body stood on end. He captured the meaning of the other party's words extremely keenly, and at the same time, he also made up several versions of the annual drama!He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly got up and gave up his seat to the woman in front of him.

Catherine sat on the chair dignifiedly, and then continued: "Actually, my father died three months ago, but I have not announced the death, and the reason is just as the detective I hired, Mr. Holmes, said, Because my father was murdered!
In fact, I want to wait until all the dust settles and the murderer is brought to justice before announcing this information, but since everyone is here, let me take this opportunity to announce something today.
Now, as the dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences and the daughter of Professor Charles Darwin, I will formally sue Joseph Holker for murdering my father.

Coincidentally, Mr. Holker was also present.

Then don't bother with the court summons.
just now!

Regarding the murder of Professor Darwin, the trial begins immediately! "

A thunderbolt fell from the sky!

There was more than one hissing sound in the entire venue, and several pens fell to the ground one after another, making a crackling sound.

Everyone didn't expect this sudden development. Didn't you just say that Professor Darwin died because of the failure of his own experiment?

How did it suddenly become murder?
Isn't the announcer the vice president? Why did he suddenly become a murderer?
To be honest, this series of changes has caused some people to lose track of their train of thought.

At the same time, everyone didn't understand what this Miss Catherine meant by "court opening"?
In imperial law, to really prosecute or try a person, many people and many steps are required in the middle.

For example, whether the prosecution is approved, whether the prosecutor has the corresponding rights, judges, notaries, information recorders in court, etc., etc., and even the investigators of the case need to have certain legal status. Maybe a random person went outside the courtroom and yelled that someone had killed someone, and the police ran over to arrest that person regardless.

In short, it is impossible for this woman to just yell that the court will start, and then the court will really start.

But as the daughter of the president of the Academy of Sciences, and she has been investigating the cause of her father's death for three months, would she not even know such basic knowledge?

Some people looked towards Catherine.

Then, I saw the few people who walked into the venue with her.

A total of five, standing around it at this time
And a well-informed reporter saw a handsome man in his 30s among those few people, wearing a robe with a clear style of the Holy See.

He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and couldn't help opening his mouth slightly.
