"Thank you, your honor."
Sherlock politely thanked the judge and saved a lot of impression points for himself.
"According to the prosecution's statement, they only proved that my uncle's wife Anna was the mastermind of several recent incidents. They did not prove that I had a direct connection with the case. The prosecution only proved that Anna and I have been living under the same roof. , it is concluded that I am aware of what Anna did."
"If you go by what the prosecution lawyer said, then there will be no secrets in the entire British city. Because under the same roof, the servants will know all the secrets of the master, even the location of the treasure house. Those who do business, the neighbors next door will definitely know Your secret recipe, because he has been your neighbor for so many years, your every move is under the control of your neighbor. Even knights, be careful, maybe which lady you date will be noticed by their parents In the eyes.”
"You! You are sophistry!" The prosecution lawyer did not expect that Sherlock would make sophistry on this point.
"No! I'm telling the truth!" Sherlock interrupted the prosecution lawyer's intention to interrupt.
"I don't know how many servants there are in Holmes Manor, but I often see at least twenty servants by name. So, we live under the same roof. Logically speaking, they should also know what Anna does. It’s something!”
"Then since they all know the danger of Anna, why do they still stay and work in Holmes Manor until they are killed? You know, many of them are just long-term workers. When their lives are threatened, Wan can break the contract and leave. Even to Report Anna to the police station.”
"But they didn't! Not only did they not leave, they didn't even know they were in danger until they died!"
"As the servants who walk around the manor all day don't know the news, why do you think that a kid like me, who only goes to and from school, would know!"
"Anna killed my uncle and my father! Why did she treat me differently? She wasn't afraid that I would avenge my father and uncle, but she kept me here and told me the bad things she had done? Prosecution lawyer, tell me!"
The prosecution lawyer was speechless when asked, and for a moment he didn't know how to retort.
Mainly because he thought he would be able to deal with an eleven-year-old boy who had suffered a family tragedy.
He did not carefully study the treatment provided by the police station and made the accusation as a matter of course.
Now when Sherlock counterattacked, he didn't know how to defend himself.
"Since I didn't even know the information, how could I conspire with Anna? More importantly, as a victim, I almost died at the hands of Anna and her accomplices. This has been witnessed by countless trade union professionals!"
"Let me ask, if I am really Anna's accomplice, do I need to gamble with my life? Wouldn't it be better for me to escape with the two suspects who escaped? Stay here and wait to be framed by you and then hanged?"
The unprepared prosecution lawyer hung his head after being told that he did not dare to look at his boss, Police Commissioner Alan Cowart.
However, instead of being annoyed by Sherlock's counterattack, Alan Covert showed appreciation.
"As for the charge of attempted murder, I wonder who the prosecution lawyer is going to accuse me of murdering?"
Hearing Sherlock's question, the prosecution lawyer suddenly came back to life and stood up confidently.
"Huh, when it comes to this, you can't quibble! You attempted to shoot your father, Sig Holmes. I have witnesses for this crime."
"Oh, so I attempted to murder my father. Well, I don't deny that. I admit that I did attempt to kill Sig Holmes with a pistol, but failed in the end."
"Listen! Everyone heard it! He admitted, he admitted that he attempted to murder his father! How can a rebellious murderer like him be innocent!"
Looking at the excited lawyer, the judge on the stage frowned in disgust, but no one noticed that a successful smile appeared on the corner of Sherlock's mouth.
"Quiet! Prosecution lawyer, please control your emotions."
"I'm sorry, your honor."
"Prisoner, are you confessing to murder?"
"No, your honor, I also plead not guilty to this accusation made by the prosecution lawyer."
Sherlock's words immediately caused the entire court to fall into silence.
"Presumptuous! You are in contempt of court! Your honor, he has clearly pleaded guilty just now, but now he plans to retract his confession. He is completely trampling on the dignity of the court."
The prosecution lawyer reacted and almost jumped up in excitement, loudly accusing Sherlock to the judge.
Sherlock calmly interjected: "Prosecution lawyer, please make something clear. I only admitted that I attempted to kill Sig Holmes, and I did not admit your accusation. These are two different things! Moreover, if you know Why would I want to kill my father? Then I wouldn’t think it was an attempted murder!”
When the judge heard this, he was stunned: "Prisoner, what do you mean by this? Is there a hidden secret in it?"
"Yes! Your Honor!"
Sherlock explained: "Your honor, this is what happened."
"I accidentally discovered that my father had an affair with my uncle's wife. Therefore, I alienated my father very early on, and my relationship with him was never very good."
"Then some time ago, my uncle suddenly disappeared. So, I wondered if my uncle discovered what happened between my father and Anna, and that was why the accident happened."
"So, I launched an investigation into the disappearance of my uncle. The director of the police station can prove this."
Everyone turned their attention to Allen, who was sitting on the witness stand.
Allen nodded: "This is indeed the case. The Holmes family did report the case at the police station at that time."
"After investigation, I discovered that my father's whereabouts were mysterious. As a baron knight canonized by the Queen, he has never been on duty in any guard in the British city."
"Instead, I investigated and found out that he has been leaving early and coming home late recently."
"So, based on the clues, I kept pursuing it. There was also a bit of trouble in the middle, which caused some trouble. Mr. Director can also testify for me on this point."
Alan nodded again, he knew that Sherlock was talking about them framing Nook Lane. It was hard to explain clearly, so he could only nod and admit that it happened.
Lest Sherlock jump over the wall and expose the matter, it would be troublesome.
"Who would have thought that my father might have gotten wind of it, but suddenly one day he would lead a team of people back home."
"I know, my investigation must have made them aware of it. So I took out the pistol that the director gave me as a gift to thank me for helping him solve the case, for self-protection."
"Unexpectedly, as soon as my father entered the yard, he became murderous and wanted to kill me. In order to protect myself, I took out a gun and threatened him not to act rashly."
"I didn't expect that in the face of my threat, my father would directly try to kill me."
"To do this, I pulled the trigger, forgetting that it was my first time using a musket and forgetting to load the shot and gunpowder."
"I failed to shoot and was knocked down by my father. If the people brought by my father hadn't arrived later and there were outsiders, my father had some scruples and let me go."
"This is the truth behind my attempt to kill my father."
The prosecution lawyer jumped out angrily and said, "Even so, how can you prove that your father wants to kill you? You are his son. Maybe he just wants to teach you a lesson?"
"Haha." Sherlock smiled disdainfully: "Because I know my father's secret! I even plan to arrest him personally and take him to court. Is it any wonder that he wants to kill me in order to protect himself? Anyway, he has already He hooked up with Anna and didn’t care about my son at all.”
"Secret? What secret does your father have?" The judge was really curious.
As someone who knows a lot of truth, he vaguely heard the Queen mention something about Sherlock's father.
"My father's secret is! He is the Ripper! The serial killer who attacked women continuously on Baker Street!"
"What!"
The whole place was in an uproar because of Sherlock's words.
Only Nok and Sig were dumbfounded.
Sig couldn't accept his son's remarks.
When had he ever thought about killing Sherlock? It was obvious that he was going to steal Anna, and he was going to attack his father with a sword.
Moreover, he didn't remember ever revealing his true identity in front of Sherlock. How did he know that his father was the Ripper!
Knock discovered something was wrong with Sherlock.
"He's lying."
Nok saw Sherlock's guilty conscience.
"Bang bang bang!"
"quiet!"
The judge quickly knocked the hammer and took control of the situation.
"Prisoner, please continue!"
The judge also pays attention to the case of the serial killer.
"I discovered the truth that my father was a serial murderer, so he naturally wanted to kill me. This was also the reason why I was later killed. After my father failed to kill me, Anna was afraid that I would go to Gaomi and imprisoned me in Holmes Manor. inside."
"Everyone knows from what the prosecution lawyer just said that Anna is a witch. She asked my father to kill those women to satisfy her need for witchcraft, so naturally she found a way to imprison me."
"During the days when I was imprisoned, I was tortured by her. My skinny appearance is the best proof. The servants who were loyal to my uncle were all killed by Anna to feed the demon servants she summoned."
"Even I almost became a victim."
"Until three days ago, Anna provoked a powerful enemy from nowhere, causing the enemy to come to the door."
"I don't know exactly what happened. I was already knocked unconscious by Anna at the time."
"When I woke up, I was already in the cell at the police station."
"Therefore, how can a person who tried to kill his relatives out of justice and sent his father to prison but failed, and almost lost his life in the end, be considered an attempted murder!"
"Even if I kill my father, it will be to avenge those innocent female victims!"
