Chapter 112 Public Prosecutor
The late summer sun is scorching this land. Not a single cloud dares to block it, and not a bit of wind dares to take away its heat, as if it wants to spread flames to the earth.
In the square of Weissenburg City, another flame is burning, not afraid of the power of the sun.
In the square square that is more than two hundred meters long and wide, the angry crowd has reached nearly 3,000 people, and more people are gathering from several main roads radiating from here.
On the edge of the square, the door of the Executive Yuan building was closed, and many employees walked to the square and joined the crowd.
The demolition sites of the Germain Cathedral and the Edelweiss Great Library have been suspended. The craftsmen, both locals in Wesenland and those from other places, all let out angry shouts in the crowd.
In front of the court building, the priests who originally translated the "Sacred Scripture" in the church put on the most solemn robes. Bishop Clement led the ceremony to receive the spirits, guiding the angels to bring two kind-hearted people to the church. , pure but suffering souls are transported to the garden of God.
The flames of anger grew stronger and stronger, and the crowd soon exceeded 10,000 people. The sound made the newly installed glass of the court building tremble slightly.
Dominique was also trembling, he did not expect that things would develop to this point.
The victim's body was found in the sewer under the main road leading to the south gate of the square. When Dominic asked people to fish the body out, it was seen by many onlookers. Everyone present was panicked at first. Anger ensues.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl had her throat slit by a murderer in her most glorious years. Her upper body, which should have been a work of art, was covered with ferocious cuts. Where her beautiful eyes used to be, the eye sockets were empty and accumulated. Full of filth.
Liya’s mother was worried all night after seeing her daughter stay home all night. When she was called to identify her, her legs were weak and she needed help.
After seeing the tragic state of her daughter’s body, she wailed and left.
The loss of two lives ignited the flames of anger.
Someone took off his coat and put it on the girl. A passing coachman offered his carriage and carried the body to the front of the court building.
The citizens, who were originally panicked because of the lockdown and rumors of human sausages, were shocked when they learned the cause of the case and came together to the court building to severely punish the murderer.
Frederick's face was gloomy, and the development of the incident exceeded his expectations.
He calmly said to Dominic: "Don't think too much, I will go out to appease the people later. It's up to you how to solve the case. Go and do your work. The sooner you find the culprit, the better this case will be." The matter will calm down sooner."
Then he said to Otto: "I remember that your amplification magic is unique to Wesson. It will be troublesome later."
Otto. Answer immediately: "I guarantee that everyone can hear the adult's voice!"
Frederick nodded, and then said to Frick and Old Franz: "The Executive Yuan and the city defense army must do a good job of maintaining order, not just now, but also when people disperse."
< br>The two men immediately accepted the order and left the office to work.
Frederick sat there and thought quietly for a moment, writing furiously on his desk, then rolled up what he had just written into a roll and took it in his hand, and left the office with Otto towards the door.
The main door of the court building is on the second floor, with steps in front. Frederick was immediately seen by the angry people after he walked out.
“Punish the murderer severely!”
"For justice!"
"Revenge!!!"
... The crowd raised their arms and roared with various slogans.
Otto chanted behind Frederick for a moment, and an invisible magic circle appeared above them.
"Everyone!" Frederick's childish voice appeared in everyone's ears, and the whole square suddenly fell silent.
“Today, in Weissenburg, in our home, a shocking case occurred.”
“Two noble souls, who should have enjoyed the beauty of life, Unfortunately, a family disappeared because of the murderer's brutality. "At this moment, the murderer was covering his mouth and laughing in the gutter. He thought that the victim's family had no other family members. The court filed a lawsuit so that he could escape legal punishment."
"But the murderer was wrong, very wrong!"
“The law is a free and solemn expression of the people’s will!”
“Even if we are not related by blood, we are all relatives living in the same big family!!”
“ You have come in person to submit an unprecedented lawsuit to the court for this poor mother and daughter!"
"I, Friedrich von Wesson, hereby declare, as The litigation attorney of the unfortunate mother and daughter, together with everyone, sued the murderer in court and asked the court to severely punish the villain!"
After that, he turned around and submitted the lawsuit he had just written to Otto.
The current litigation system adopts the form of private prosecution for all cases. There is no private prosecutor in the legal system. The public prosecutor is only the agent of the lord and is only responsible for things such as tax evasion that harm the interests of the lord but have nothing to do with ordinary people. cases, this has led to the phenomenon that many victims are afraid to prosecute because they are afraid of the perpetrators.
Today Frederick took a new step and expanded the prosecutor's responsibilities to include private criminal cases.
After handing the lawsuit to Otto, Frederick said: "I assure you that no matter who the murderer is, whether he is a civilian or a noble, he will be punished by law!"
...
While Frederick was giving a speech in front of the court building, Dominic was asking Liya's co-workers, bosses and neighbors to find out what she had experienced before she was killed, and whether she had any enemies with her on weekdays.
Liya's coworkers and boss immediately provided an important clue.
A few nights ago, a customer tried to ask Liya for sex while drinking, but was naturally rejected.
The guest was a businessman from Mingxing City in the Principality of Byrne in the south. He came to Weissenburg City with a servant and bodyguard to purchase life buoys and life jackets.
Although he was rejected, he still stalked her and got angry and threatened Liya. The girl refused and pushed him against the wall. Finally, the boss came forward and found a girl who refused. Convenient excuse to get past it.
Liya needs to take care of her mother, so she usually prepares to go home in the early morning.
In the past, she had a somewhat cowardly personality and had never made enemies with anyone. Recently, she had only had one conflict.
Dominique felt that the person was the biggest suspect, asked about the person's appearance, and then arranged for people to go to various hotels to ask if there were any such guests.
The results came soon. The two men lived in a hotel owned by people from the Kingdom of Sardinia near the tavern, and were immediately arrested and taken to court.
