Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

The sunlight reflected from the mirror of his watch, and two imperceptible elves immediately jumped into the mirror and disappeared without a trace.

The person who came in was an Arab with a deep face, prominent cheekbones, and a hooked nose. He was wearing a loose robe and holding a small cross in his hand to worship the Father of All.

Durant looked up and said, "Oh, we're here. Let's go and solve the trouble you guys caused."

"Trouble? Are you talking about the little girl whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, or the little white-haired guy who broke into the police station yesterday?"

The Tianfang people laughed and didn't take the matter seriously.

"How tall is the little white-haired girl?"

Durant was stunned. He didn't know that Tia had broken into the police station.

The Tianfang person explained it to him and reminded him, "The soul in that little guy's eyes is very rich. He's probably at Sequence 7."

Durant put the newspaper down, spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "It's just a Sequence 7. Can't you solve it?"

According to the original plan, he was going to bring Daisy Anderson to court and then get her into Hurkacz through the formalities.

Although the charge of treason is very useful, it is not so useful that it can be used casually.

We are all smart people. You are using treason to deal with a little girl. Are you too impatient?

At that time, Durant was indeed a bit desperate. He was discussing the smuggling of goods with merchants from the Kingdom. Those merchants wanted to smuggle a batch of goods from the Empire and would pay him a large sum of money for it. If this matter was exposed, he would become a treasonous criminal.

So, in a moment of confusion, he directly charged him with treason. But last night, he calmed down and quietly withdrew the original charge, switching it to the charge of stealing government secrets.

But this charge is too light, and Durant is also afraid of the long night and more dreams.

He looked at the man and said firmly, "Today I will bring that Daisy to court. After the trial, you can execute her secretly. Then I will have the police announce that it was suicide."

The Tianfang people were puzzled and asked, "Can you commit suicide by doing this?"

"You Muslims, did you give your brains to the prophet to chew on? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know?"

Durant glanced at the foreigner and was a little speechless.

boom!

The gavel fell heavily.

Despite the thick morning fog, there were already citizens who were eager to watch the excitement gathering under the simple platform set up in the open court. These citizens served as ready-made jurors.

In the past, when nobles were tried in open court, they would sit in an open court like an ancient Greek amphitheater, confide in the judges about the nobles' misdeeds that were not mentioned in the trial, and provide opinions and suggestions on the trial.

But as the number of trials increased, people became too lazy to go to court.

It was during this period of peace that the open court suddenly opened, attracting many citizens from nearby who came to watch the fun. There were not many of them, about seventy or eighty people, each sitting in the jury box on the left and right.

Everyone looked at the judge in the courtroom. Behind him, there was a sparsely haired judge. In the distance, white smoke was belching out of factory chimneys, slowly rising above his head.

"Silence!"

"quiet!"

The judge, dressed in a silver-gray suit and with a long beard, banged the gavel several times, and the noisy jury suddenly quieted down.

The judge stood up, glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "Now, everyone, please stand in silence and solemnly take the oath!"

"I solemnly swear: As a member of the court, I will abide by the law and facts, uphold justice and conscience, and safeguard the dignity of the judiciary. Regardless of my position, I will strictly observe discipline and respect procedures, refrain from favoritism or personal gain, and fulfill the mission entrusted to me by the law. This oath."

"The oath is over. Please take your seats."

Eleanor sat down with everyone else. She was very curious about the scene. When she looked down, she saw Tia standing in the defense seat in the dock.

Scarlett just arrived and Pastor Huck explained the situation to her, but Scarlett was confused.

Aren't you the witch's messenger? How come you become the defense lawyer for a little girl named Iris?

Scarlett didn't understand, but she didn't dare ask. She hadn't studied the laws of the iris, and she didn't dare to join in the fun, so she just followed Tia's instructions and watched from the jury.

Tia closed her eyes and concentrated, the shrine rose in front of Eleanor, and the two of them whispered to each other.

Eleanor: Why are you here?

Tia: Did it go smoothly when you went to see the president?

Eleanor: No. Don't change the subject.

Tia: Because of love and justice!

Eleanor: Lie to me. Go to the dungeon.

Tia: Get Scarlett ready.

Eleanor: ? ?

Tia: Get ready for the show. Someone's coming to rob the execution ground.

Eleanor became excited. This was a plot that only existed in novels and plays!

boom!

The gavel fell again and Tia opened her eyes.

"The trial of journalist Daisy Hudson, who illegally photographed executive meeting documents and subsequently leaked government secrets, is now officially underway in the Castle District Public Court of Mistmoon City. The Castle District Police Department, as prosecutors, are invited to read the indictment and submit relevant evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Willy, who was standing opposite him, stood up and read the indictment.

Hearing key words like executive meeting, leak of secrets, and treason, the jury suddenly became agitated.

Now is an extraordinary period. Although the past six months seem to be peaceful, the threat of the empire and the shadow of civil war still hang over everyone's heads, and all kinds of emotions are running high.

A traitor suddenly appeared and of course immediately became the target of public criticism.

Daisy was frightened and at a loss as she sat in the dock, surrounded by noisy discussions and scrutinizing eyes.

Chief Willy read the last paragraph, confirming the evidence, "Following the conclusion of the Executive Council, the Brumaire Observer reporter Daisy Hudson's camera was found to contain undisclosed official documents from the Executive Council. Upon interrogation, it was discovered that Daisy Hudson did not possess official journalist registration documents. Consequently, the suspect, Daisy Hudson, was arrested for carrying confidential documents.

"Daisy Hudson refused to provide access to the confidential documents and displayed a rude attitude. Furthermore, she has a complicated family background and a foreign background. Therefore, the Castle District Police Department, in consultation with the City Hall, has decided to impose severe punishment on Daisy Hudson, charging her with theft of confidential information. This is to deter any unscrupulous individuals with malicious intent and to protect the safety of the Iris."

After the judge confirmed that the statement was correct, he struck the gavel again.

Commissioner Willy sent someone forward to submit the evidence and then presented it to the jury, but the photos of the evidence itself were completely smeared out and nothing could be seen.

The judge said, "Sheriff Willy, can't you provide some clear evidence?"

Willy complained, "Your Honor, I'd like to, but it's confidential. Don't tell me we don't want to make it public? The evidence has been examined by the police and the court, and it's been confirmed to be correct."

This is not something he can decide, right?

He doesn't even want to come to open court, so what can we do?

The judge laughed awkwardly a few times and coughed twice to change the subject.

"Alright. Next, let's call the defendant, Daisy Hudson. Well, the defendant, Daisy, is here. Do you have anything to say?"

Little Daisy was already scared at this time, but fortunately her crime was reduced a lot, from treason to stealing secrets.

But she didn't know the severity of the charges, so Funina waved her hand and said, "Your Honor, our defendant is still young, a child, and comes from a poor family. As far as I know, her mother is blind, and her brother relies on hard labor abroad to support the family. She has never seen such a grand occasion, so it's inevitable that she is a little nervous."

The judge's originally slightly impatient look suddenly softened.

He is still a child. Who would be so petty as to argue with a child?

The jury, which had been noisy, became quiet.

The citizens who were originally prejudiced against Daisy had to retract their harsh remarks - no wonder, she was a child from a poor family. If she really couldn't make ends meet, who would do such a deadly business?

The judge waved his hand and said, "Please prepare a glass of water for the defendant, and then take your time."

Daisy drank a glass of water and calmed down a lot. She raised her hand cautiously as if she was speaking in class.

This action immediately made the judge and many citizens on the jury smile, but they tried not to laugh out loud.

Daisy and Tia had already colluded. She took a deep breath, bowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Judge, and all the gentlemen and ladies present."

"I plead guilty. I plead guilty to everything."

"But I beg you kind and generous people, please spare my mother and brother..."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears streamed down the face of the thin little girl.

Volume 1: Business trip, a day off

I went on a business trip to Dunhuang today. I just landed and went to the hotel. I have to attend an unlucky dinner with my unlucky boss later, so I will take a day off first.

That's it.

Volume 1: Chapter 176 Tia's Speech

Threatening Daisy Hudson's family!

Seeing the little girl in tears, even the most stubborn and conservative people in the jury box changed their expressions in shock.

Although Iris has a code, it doesn't emphasize order or the spirit of the law. The credibility of the police and courts is already precarious. Who knows, they might actually do something like this!

In the past, they did bad things without hiding them from others!

Willy immediately stood up and said dissatisfiedly:

"Hudson! You are making groundless accusations. We have never posed any threat to your family. You..."

"I plead guilty, I plead guilty to everything... I plead guilty to everything..."

Daisy trembled when she heard this, and she curled up in the chair.

Seeing this, Tia stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted, then stepped forward and said, "Chief Willy, no matter what, you shouldn't use such an angry tone towards a teenager. I think it's ungentlemanly and unbecoming of Inspector Iris."

"Also, I have something to add on behalf of the defendant—"

Before she finished speaking, Daisy quickly pulled at the hem of Funina's sea-blue skirt and begged, "Sister Bonaparte, please, I plead guilty. I did it all..."

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

"No, I, I was wrong, Mr. Director. They didn't say they were going to send Mom to a nursing home, nor did they say they were going to deport my brother. They just said my crime..."

"you!"

Willy was so angry that he almost vomited his breakfast. He felt like his brain was about to explode.

He never expected that the other party would play such a trick in court. For a moment, he couldn't help but throw away his already limited manners and was about to curse.

Who the hell taught this kid this? Wasn't he acting so well in the cell?

Look at this poor kid:

--boom!

The judge's gavel slammed down, and compared to the previous gentle and casual sound, it now seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He stared sharply at Director Willy, who realized that something was wrong.

"Chief Willy, it's the defendant's turn to speak. You should save your remarks for the debate."

"Daisy Hudson! You have one more chance. On behalf of King Ludd, I will establish the spirit of five hundred years of law. Your freedom of speech will be absolutely guaranteed here. Ladies and gentlemen, even in civil wars and rebellions, the Iris people have no tradition of implicating others. A group of high-ranking gentlemen using family and friends to threaten a fifteen-year-old descendant of King Ludd is unprecedented and unheard of. It is a complete insult to King Ludd and the founding knights, and a complete smear on the spirit of chivalry!"

"Daisy Hudson! I declare once again that you now have one more chance to tell the truth about what you said?!"

In the dock, the slightly thin girl quickly shook her head.

She said almost in a pleading tone: "I plead guilty, Mr. Judge. You are a good man, Mr. Director is also a good man, please be merciful..."

boom!

The sound of the gavel falling startled Daisy, and then the judge in a silver-gray suit couldn't help but scold:

"That's enough! Daisy, I'm asking you the truth now! Don't hide anything, and don't say any nonsense like you're a good person!"

"Those of us sitting here, myself, Chief Willy, and others, all dressed up like men and in high positions, have shed the blood of our compatriots in the Civil War. None of us are good people, let alone think of reaching the kingdom of the All-Father. We are all destined for hell, to sit with the serpent! You will gain nothing by trying to curry favor with us devils!"

"Be yourself, Daisy! Explain the situation clearly. Are there any insects still thinking of persecuting their own people at this critical moment? If you can't explain it, I'll let the lawyer next to you speak."

Daisy stammered.

"Just say what you need to say! This isn't the first time the police department has done this sort of thing. Last time, when the Viscount from the street in front was on trial, you accepted a large sum of money from his nephew, saying you could get him a lighter sentence, exile instead of beheading. And that bread vendor who took advantage of the situation, after giving you some money, got away with it. You just let him go and didn't even press charges! His bakery is still operating just fine now."
