After reading these "evidences", Richard was speechless for a long time.
Some of the people involved are actually friends or classmates whom I know or even have a good relationship with...
Also, after all, how big is the entire royal capital circle? After a few detours, you can always get involved with a few big nobles at the top.
Richard put down the record in his hand and took a long breath.
In front of themselves, they have always behaved very friendly. It is really hard for people to believe that there is such a side behind them.
But he knew that the disgusting "fun" written in this record was not false.
"Indeed, based on what is written in this record: deliberately recruiting people for gambling to deceive classmates, using debt as a threat to control others, and even coercing and luring children from poor families, making them fall into the abyss and unable to escape... These practices If you are convicted, the death penalty is enough."
There are many things that are difficult to describe even when stated.
So Richard just brushed it off vaguely and focused on how to deal with it at the moment.
"——But he was not imprisoned for these crimes, was he?"
"He can die, but he should die only after the crime is confirmed. Moreover, a series of other relevant persons in this record should also all come to the case for investigation."
Richard's mind was still clear, and he stared at Bulwer intently.
"Instead of suddenly saying that he was going to escape from prison without any reason, and then looking for rational excuses for the fact that he had been killed on the spot."
Wayne frowned in thought.
If the evidence on the table were shown to Chairman Harold, the school probably wouldn't be able to take too much notice of Peggy's death.
Not to mention the victims who were also Qingxi students implicated in the record. Once their parents knew the truth, they would be more urgent than anyone else to demand the quick death of the guy who single-handedly dragged their children into hell.
But what Richard said does make sense.
The City Guard produced this evidence only after killing someone first. During the investigation and trial of the poisoning case at the racecourse, no other rumors were revealed. It's hard not to be suspicious of such irregularities.
Is it because... you don't want him to reveal any secrets?
According to the investigation results of the case that Lawrence told him before, the middleman Peggy only found another person who was only the executor because he happened to know about the old equestrian club's commission and was greedy for a cut of the reward. But his classmate Boris, who owed a large debt, took over and asked him to get an invitation to Marseille and take advantage of the opportunity.
Hiss, could it be that Boris was one of the so-called "friends" who was first tricked by him and then coerced by him with debts, as written in the record?
Wayne suddenly asked: "Where is Boris, the direct criminal who poisoned the horses? I have something to ask him."
Richard, who was about to say something more to Bulwer, was startled and stopped.
However, Bulwer did not seem to care much about the direct prisoner who would be punished the most. He only answered truthfully: "He is already in prison. He will face four months of imprisonment and compensation." Victim some money.”
"Then I want to see him. Please arrange for someone to take me to the cell where he is held." As he said this, Wayne glanced at Richard again.
"As for the discussion and investigation with you here, I'll leave it to you Richard for the time being."
He also saw that Bulwer seemed to want to delay or hinder something. Instead of staying here with Richard and wrangling, I might as well act separately, maybe I can make some unexpected discoveries.
Although Bulwer still looked reluctant, he had no reason to refuse.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and winked at the other adjutant: "Dennis, it's up to you to take Master Wayne to inquire. Remember to 'protect' Master Wayne's safety!"
Richard originally wanted to set off with Wayne, but he soon understood under the hint in Wayne's eyes.
He no longer paid attention to Wayne's movements, but chose to stay and actively attract Bulwer's attention.
"——Lord Bulwer! Please answer my question directly, why did you kill the prisoner first without being convicted!"
The tense atmosphere in the conference room gradually moved away from Wayne and was locked behind the door.
Wayne turned his head and looked at the stern-looking adjutant beside him.
"Your name is Dennis? How many years have you been working in the city guard?" It seemed like a young boy's casual concern out of curiosity.
The adjutant replied solemnly: "Yes. I have been working for six years."
The two of them left the headquarters building with questions and answers, passing several defensive posts along the way. When he finally arrived at the entrance to the cell door, which was not too far from the headquarters building, the adjutant finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"There are so many things you want to inquire about! Please forgive me for refusing to answer." After saying this, he remained silent.
Wayne smiled, no longer forcing it, but scanned the prison.
To be honest, even as Ecos, he had never really set foot here, so he was not familiar with the terrain here.
Generally speaking, there should be some secret rooms on the lower floor of ordinary cells to hold important people, right?
However, since there is another secret prison in the palace, the city guard can only serve as one of the substitute detention facilities with low priority.
After showing the token and explaining the purpose of his visit to the guards here, and being led forward by the adjutant and several cell guards, Wayne silently memorized the route and the general distribution of defensive forces around him.
Although the place seemed to be well cleaned, there was an unpleasant smell that lingered for a long time.
They didn't go very deep. They just turned four turns, went down another flight of stairs, and walked more than ten steps before arriving at the final destination of their trip.
Through a layer of railings made of special material, Wayne saw Boris, whom he had met before on the racecourse.
But now, Boris just sat on the ground with a numb and decadent expression, not raising his head even if he heard the movement outside.
"Dang-" The adjutant slapped the railing and made a dull sound. "Boris, there is a noble man who wants to ask you something!"
Upon hearing this sudden announcement, Boris was stunned for a moment.
When he discovered that Wayne was standing outside the door, his face showed a complex expression of both worry and joy for a moment, and he quickly stood up.
"You, you..."
He still didn't know what was happening outside, and he was both hopeful and anxious about Wayne's appearance.
