Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 108 That's right, this way the case can be complete.

Catherine looked exhausted. With a wave of her hand, she instructed Katrina to escort Sherry away from the royal court.

Sherry was sent to Herda Palace.

Her current situation is very dangerous. She can no longer return to the underground world and can only stay in the Herda Palace for the time being, under the protection of special personnel.

Shirley saw several familiar faces here, paused, and then suddenly realized, "Shen Sijia is Scarlett?"

Chi Ye nodded. "That's right."

Shirley clenched her fists. "She killed my sister!"

Nobody wanted to discuss this topic with her.

Instruct Lilia to take good care of her and to go find new evidence.

Lilia led Sherry toward the room, whispering, "My lord is innocent."

……

……

Zheko went to Connagate again, dug up the remains, and brought them back.

When Shirley saw the skeleton, her eyes widened in horror, and she remained stunned for a long time.

She berated Zheke, then clung tightly to Senbai's bones, refusing to let anyone touch him.

Riley stepped forward. "Since you said those words on the StarNet, you certainly didn't want your sister to die without knowing why, right? And there are seven other innocent people. You must have thought about them too, which is why you mustered up the courage to stand up. Things have come to this point, there's no going back. Besides, don't you want to know who this corpse is? Only you can do that now."

Shirley looked up and met Riley's eyes, dark green eyes, deep as an abyss, shimmering with a faint light.

She remained silent for a moment, then released her grip, her expression somewhat numb as she stared blankly at the skeleton in her arms.

My sister's voice, appearance, and smile flashed before my eyes, so vivid and lively.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth, cutting her finger.

The bright red blood dripped into the bone and quickly dissolved into it.

These are Christine's remains!
How can one person have two corpses?

This message quickly spread throughout the StarNet.

A larger conspiracy theory has sparked heated discussions on StarNet.

at the same time.

The people in charge of the research institute also sent new information.

Among the people entering and leaving the laboratory, some of their personal computers showed abnormalities, and it was discovered that they possessed two sets of chips.

The court then intervened in the matter.

All those who had doubts about the chip were brought to the courtroom and handed over to specialists to decipher the computer and examine the chip.

Caroline was taken away, and before leaving, she handed the reagents she had developed to Ashley.

After a day and a night of trial.

All eight women confessed that the extra chips in their brains all came from another person.

These people are those who left the 403 Research Institute and then disappeared.

But they vehemently denied committing murder.

When it was Caroline's turn, she smiled, puzzled, and pointed to her head, saying, "My chip belongs to Christine. It was implanted three months ago. Scarlett killed her just a few days ago, so her death shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"

The chip is bound to its owner and can only be removed after the person dies.

Her words, though seemingly unintentional, indirectly proved Scarlett's innocence.

Christine died three months ago.

Whose body was found in Swansea City?

The court can extract memories for trials, but this involves privacy and requires authorization from the Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Court to initiate.

Devas wrote the application herself.

An hour later, the authorization was granted, and the memory extraction began.

The deceased was Susanna.

Mental strength level: S-rank.

The superpower is the ability to transform into other people's appearances, including altering their genes.

However, when the court tried to retrieve her memories from before her death to find out who the murderer was, her memory was blank.

Another problem has arisen.

Scarlett didn't kill Christine, but she may have accidentally killed Susanna.

Moreover, Susanna was also a commoner.

The case took many twists and turns, and soon the first hearing of Scarlett's murder case took place.

Brian appeared in court as the defense attorney.

During the court hearing.

The lawyers on both sides engaged in a war of words, exchanging witty remarks and sharp arguments. They even employed a variety of methods to cross-examine witnesses, always managing to seize upon loopholes and deliver scathing rebuttals.

Although the research institute is currently in dire straits, Hill, as the institute's director, remains calm and composed, answering the lawyers' questions flawlessly and handling them with ease.

Brian, having failed to gain the upper hand several times, grew impatient. He frowned, his expression showing a hint of anger, and was about to lash out when he turned and saw Scarlett glaring at him from the defendant's seat, as if warning him to calm down.

That look was clearly unpleasant, like a bucket of cold water poured over Brian's head, but Brian inexplicably calmed down, caught his breath, and asked calmly, "Hill, what were you doing when Scarlett made her move?"

Hill said, "I'm having tea."

"Which direction is Scarlett facing?" "To her left and slightly in front."

"Is she holding the knife in her left hand or her right hand?"

"Right hand."

Is there anyone to her left?

"Her servants were with her."

Brian abruptly changed the subject, his eyes suddenly turning shrewd. "So, you're in a blind spot, and didn't actually see Scarlett kill anyone?"

Upon hearing this, the prosecution lawyer quickly stood up to object, "Objection! The defense lawyer is suspected of leading the witness to speak!"

Brian explained, "Your Honor, Scarlett was holding a knife in her right hand, and there was someone on her left. There was a brief blind spot when she swung the knife. The knife could have gone towards the victim or her servant. I need to find out the details."

Sang Zhuo lifted his eyelids slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Continue."

Brian continued, "Witness Hill, please answer."

Hill recalled the scene, "I did not see Scarlett stab the dead man."

It was Morton's turn to appear in court.

His testimony was very simple. Brian didn't even need to use any interrogation techniques; he simply asked, "Did you really see Scarlett kill someone with your own eyes?"

Morton said with absolute certainty, "Of course! I opened the door and saw Christine lying in a pool of blood, with Scarlett holding a knife. Who else could have killed Christine but him!"

"Your Honor, I have finished asking my questions."

Brian calmly sat down.

It's over so soon?
Morton looked at Sandra with a blank expression.

Sang Zhuo rolled her eyes.

The deceased was Susanna, and mentioning Christine is exactly what you wanted! You idiot!

The trial is over.

Hill walked out of the courtroom and was soon taken away.

Scarlett returned to her cell and lay down again.

……

……

Two more days passed.

There has been new progress in the case of the research institute.

When the court retrieved the second set of chips, it discovered SS-level mental power.

Following the mental energy upwards, they found Vanessa.

Her special ability is to lock the chips, preventing them from being destroyed when the original owner dies.

Vanessa was brought to the courtroom, and after questioning, she confessed to killing him to obtain the chip.

As for the mastermind behind it all.

Vanessa hesitated for a long time before saying, "Ernil."

Former director of the research institute.

He passed away last year and is now a dead man, so there's no way to verify his identity.

Some things are best left unsaid, and the court did not investigate further. After finding relevant evidence, the group was imprisoned and the trial was scheduled for a later date.

While collecting evidence, they also investigated a lot about Susanna.

Susanna was Vanessa's accomplice.

Both men were involved in the murder.

While reviewing the case files, Devas discovered a clue and decided to combine the two cases into one. By connecting all the details, she found a breakthrough and interrogated Vanessa again.

After several interrogations, Vanessa, under immense psychological pressure, finally confessed that she had killed Susanna and framed Scarlett.

Scarlett has been investigating Christine recently. Fearing exposure, she deliberately set a trap, having Susanna impersonate Christine to meet Scarlett, and then using the opportunity to lure Scarlett into killing Susanna.

She drugged the tea, causing dizziness and memory loss whenever the aroma of the tea was detected.

She used that time to kill Susanna and frame Scarlett.

Morton's unexpected intrusion was something she hadn't anticipated.

Therefore, she did not have time to destroy the evidence immediately.

The evidence is the dagger in Scarlett's hand.

Scarlett brought it herself. She only realized the dagger was faulty when she tried to stab Susanna with it; it couldn't hurt her at all. So she took out her own knife and stabbed her a second time.

During multiple examinations of the body, forensic experts suspected that the fatal wound on the victim's chest had been caused by secondary damage.

That means she was stabbed a second time in the same spot.

His actions were steady, accurate, and ruthless, resulting in minimal deviations; only through repeated examinations could the differences be detected.

It was after seeing this clue that Devas merged the two cases into one.

Deaves continued her questioning: "What was Hill's purpose in being there? To take Scarlett to Christine? She's more capable than you; she shouldn't be fooled by that cup of tea."

Vanessa closed her eyes, her throat dry, and after a long while said, "She's an accomplice."

now it's right.

Only in this way can the case be complete.
