Chapter 178 (2/2)
Nora exclaimed, ”Hey! It really works!”
He admitted!? But you're lying!?
There was a commotion on the jury table of Parliament, and many people were stunned.
One of the middle-aged fat men jumped up and roared excitedly, ”you killed my son! I ask him to repay my son's life!”
”Count Pope, please calm down. He has admitted it.”
Leandr hammered: ”please believe that our noble Council will give you a fair trial.”
Count Pope, Hogg Pope's father, panted and sat down again.
”So, Baron Donne, have you confessed to killing Baron Hogg Pope?”
”Hey, hey! Didn't you see that polygraph showed me lying?”
”But you admit it.”
I've never seen such a shameless trial
In that case, Donne: ”That guy tried to destroy the Lord's certificate issued to me by his majesty Victor, and even colluded with mountain bandits to assassinate me. Although the imperial law states that no one can kill an aristocrat, otherwise he will be sentenced to death, if I remember correctly, if someone tries to murder an imperial aristocrat, the Assassin can fight back, whether life or death? What's more, although I'm just a baron, I'm a baron Lord Ellington, personally confirmed by his majesty Victor... ”
Donne looked at count pope with a faint smile on his face: ”Baron Hogg assassinated the imperial Lord. May I ask count Pope what he wants to do? Is it an attempt to split the Empire... Rebellion?”
As soon as Donne said this, count Pope's face became very ugly.
No matter where it is, as long as it is still in the period of centralized rule, it is not a good thing to be labeled as a conspiracy!
What frightened count Pope most was that the polygraph had no response to Donne's words, that is, his words were true!
”You're talking nonsense!”
Count Pope roared, ”leandr! He's slander! Naked slander! He has no evidence to prove that what he said is true!”
”Baron Donne, can you have evidence to prove your words?”
”Evidence? As an imperial Baron and Lord of Ellington, what I say is evidence. Do I need anything to prove my own words? And doesn't lie detection also prove that what I say is true?”
Leandr directly ignored the results of lie detection and said with a sneer, ”that means you have no evidence?”
If it was normal, they would not target Donne so much in order to maintain the dignity of the nobility, but... Who makes Donne a member of the royal family?
Yes, when Donne acquired Ellington territory from Victor, he was already a staunch member of the royal family in the eyes of others.
”If you have to say so.”
Donne stalled: ”then I really can't show any evidence to prove that Hogg is in collusion with the mountain bandits, because they have been killed by me.”
”Kill people and kill people! What a vicious means!”
Count pope said maliciously, ”leandre, I suggest that he be deprived of his aristocracy immediately and sentenced to death!”
”Donne, if -”
”Oh! Yes!”
Donne clapped his hands and suddenly said, ”I have to make it clear that I didn't kill Hogg!”
”Don, do you think there's any point in sophistry at this time?”
”I really didn't kill it.”
Donne looked at leandr innocently: ”after I entered the Lord's house and killed the others, when I was happily discussing the ransom with Baron Hogg, his housekeeper killed him in order to live.”
At the foot of the platform, there was still no response.
What he said... Is it true?
Dozens of people on the jury table began to stir, and count Pope's face was very ugly.
If so, even they have no right to blame Donne!
”Is what he said true?”
”Isn't there a problem with polygraph?”
”No...”
”Why don't you... Try?”
Donne heard their conversation, thought about it, and shouted, ”I appreciate leandr.”
As soon as the voice fell, ”Di” made a sound, and the platform under his feet immediately burst into dazzling red light.
Lian Dalton's face was as black as ink.
Donne turned his eyes and said, ”I'm a good man.”
”Drop!”
Fuck!?
Nora immediately laughed and said, ”you think you're a good man?”
Is this thing broken!?
Is there anyone better than me!?
Donne didn't believe in evil: ”Fiona is a beautiful woman!”
No response.
”Nora is a fool!”
No response.
Nora was furious immediately: [I bite you! I really bite you!]
”Elsa is lovely!”
No response.
”Elia is cute, too!”
No response.
Donne hesitated and whispered, ”I'm not Laurie...”
No response.
Donne breathed a strange sigh of relief.
The next moment, the sharp beep and alarm sound resounded through the whole Parliament hall!
”Drop! Drop! Drop!”
what the fuck!?
This thing is broken!
It must be broken!!
It's definitely broken!
