The court was about to open, but the plaintiff died mysteriously. It seemed impossible to explain it by coincidence.

The Manchester District Court chose a public trial, and the gallery of the court was filled with reporters. Such big news happened before the trial, and the reporters became excited. They had a premonition that a good show would be staged today, and they were already ready to eat.

Be prepared to endure.

“What to do?” Dart Edmund encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and subconsciously discussed it with Alcott, who was also in the auditorium.

 “You are a lawyer, you ask me?” Alcott also panicked. It would be better if this was an accident, but if not——

As an immigration officer, Alcott knew more information about Christian Human Resources than ordinary people. This company was not easy to mess with. There were thousands of slave-catching teams working for Christian in Africa. Those who

The members of the slave-catching team are all desperadoes, and for only thirty to fifty pounds, there are people who are willing to do anything for Christian.

Alcott didn't want to be shot dead on the doorstep of his home, or accidentally run over by a frightened horse while walking down the street, or killed in some mysterious way in a bar.

Alcott never overestimated the moral bottom line of slave traders, nor did he overestimate the protection provided by the Immigration Bureau to Immigration Bureau officials. As a member of the Immigration Bureau as a whole, Alcott had the confidence to treat Christian Human Resources Company

limit.

 But once he was targeted by Christian Human Resources Company, Alcott did not want to become a victim.

Unlike the panicked Dart Edmond and Alcott, George Young and Paul Gill were much more relaxed in the dock.

 Wallace's death really had nothing to do with Christian Human Resources, at least it was not George Young and Paul Gill who arranged the accident. Although this explanation is not convincing, it is the fact.

 “Really?” Paul Gill wanted to make sure that Wallace’s death was an accident.

“That’s not true!” George Yang said resolutely. Although Christian Human Resources Company is lawless, it is in Africa and in the UK. Christian Human Resources Company is a law-abiding company and has not even missed taxes.

 Paul Gill stopped talking. Since that’s not the case, it’s easier to handle. Can the lawsuit continue without a plaintiff?

It depends on the judge’s decision.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, why didn't the plaintiff arrive?" Judge Sir Niederburg had a complicated expression. He already knew about Wallace's death, but he still asked according to the procedure.

"Your Honor, my client died suddenly in a bizarre way last night, just before he attended the trial. This cannot help but make us suspicious, especially when the defendant is a notorious company like Christian Human Resources -" Da

Edmund was arrogant in what he said, but he was fearless and very skillful in putting hats on people.

"Your Honor, the plaintiff's lawyer is groundlessly slandering a law-abiding company. Christian Human Resources is a law-abiding company and would never do such a thing -" Paul Gill directly interrupted Dart Edmond.

.

“Plaintiff’s lawyer, watch your words——” Sir Niederburg pushed up the rimless glasses on his face, and then looked at the jury.

 The jury system originated in the United Kingdom, and its literal translation is a temporary citizen trial panel, or a citizen trial panel.

  A jury is a group of people who take an oath to the judge and make a decision on a given case, especially a group of people who are summoned by law to hear and make the final decision on a case in court.

 Note that it is the final verdict, that is to say, the jury’s opinion will determine the court’s verdict to a large extent.

Regarding the selection of jury members, in order to break the monopoly of a few professionals and allow some citizens to participate in judicial activities with ordinary people's emotions, common sense and judgment, jury members generally do not select lawyers, judges, doctors, dentists, firefighters, etc.

Team members, teachers, government officials and other groups are selected from ordinary people.

Considering the high impact of this case, the Manchester District Court formed a grand jury of 23 people, and now the jury is also talking a lot.

 “This must be Christian Human Resources Company’s attempt to kill people and silence them——”

“Not necessarily, we have to wait for the results of the police investigation.”

“What do you expect from the police? I guarantee that even today next year, the police will not be able to catch the murderer!”

“Let’s just convict Christian Human Resources—”

"There will never be such a coincidence in the world. Think about it, Christian Human Resources has already killed Sapir, and now it has killed Sapir's brother. This poor family has suffered in a short period of time."

How devastated they must have been when they were hit hard——" Dart Edmond was still pouring dirty water on Christian Human Resources Company.

 At this time, the corner door of the courtroom suddenly opened, and a fat man of short stature, estimated to weigh more than 300 kilograms, walked in.

 In 1923, there was not enough food to waste freely. There were many fat people in the UK, but not many were at this level.

This fat man had a gloomy look on his face and sharp eyes. He glared at Dart Edmund with vicious eyes when he walked into the courtroom.

Dat Edmund suddenly felt a little weak on the soles of his feet, and the jury, which had been noisy just now, fell silent.

 Have no money to read novels? I will give you cash or coins, and you can get it for one day only! Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get it for free!

This fat man is Christian, the boss of Christian Human Resources Company. It is rumored that he has thousands of desperadoes under his command and controls Christian who has hundreds of thousands of people working for him.

Following Christian into the courtroom was an African man. He was wearing a very common double-sided suit, overalls, combat boots, and a curved-brimmed hat on his head. Although the holster on his waist was empty, it was extremely conspicuous.

.

The holster is empty because you are not allowed to carry weapons into the court, and you are not just wearing a holster to scare people.

Christian walked directly in front of Dart Edmund and stared at Dart Edmund with a viper-like look. Until Dart Edmund subconsciously retreated, Christian said coldly: "If you dare to say another word of nonsense,

, I guarantee you won’t be able to leave the court!”

 Dat Edmond was immediately sweating profusely.

Sir Niederburg was dumbfounded. No one had ever been so arrogant and threatened a plaintiff's lawyer in court in front of the judge and jury.

But the amazing thing is that neither Sir Niederburg nor the jury members were surprised. Alcott, who was next to Dart Edmund, acted as if he had not heard anything and did not dare to look into Christian's eyes.

.

Then Christian walked into the auditorium as if there was no one around, found a seat and sat down casually, and continued to look at Dart Edmund with cold eyes.

"Fuck, your honor, did you just hear that? I asked for the protection of the court -" Dart Edmond stammered. Only now did he realize what it would be like to face someone like Christian.

pressure.

Sir Niederburg frowned and looked at Christian without saying a word.

"Your Honor, I do not mean to be disrespectful to the court. Christian Human Resources is a law-abiding company. If the trial is conducted according to normal procedures, I will not interfere with the trial process. However, if someone dares to deliberately slander the reputation of Christian Human Resources,

——" Christian paused deliberately when he said this, and glanced at Dart Edmund and the jury seat with contemptuous eyes, and then said coldly: "——I know some people want to invite names, and some people want to benefit.

No problem, I have a lot of money, enough to kill people with money, don’t force me to fight back, the result may be unbearable for some people!”

This statement sounded really arrogant, but no one dared to refute it.

"Mr. Christian, if you want to listen, don't speak, otherwise I will ask the bailiff to drive you out of the court." Sir Niederburg's words were to maintain the order of the court, and it was not that Christian was not allowed to speak.

 For ordinary people, a judge’s word can determine life or death.

 For a villain like Christian who has a notorious reputation and no scruples, the judge can do very little.

It wasn’t just Alcott who was afraid of being shot in the dark, the judge was also afraid!

“Plaintiff’s lawyer, can your client appear in court?” Even though he knew this was nonsense, Sir Niederburg still wanted to ask.

“I’m sorry, your honor, my client died due to an accident last night——” Dart Edmund lowered his head and his voice was so low that he could hardly hear it.

"Well, the court will adjourn and wait for the police's investigation results -" Sir Niederburg took the initiative to end this farce. In fact, from the moment Christian appeared in the court, it was impossible for this case to go on trial.

.

 Paul Gill and George Young smiled at each other and packed their things silently.

Dat Edmond sat in the plaintiff's seat in a state of confusion, his eyes empty for a long time and he did not regain his senses.

Alcott stood up and walked away quickly the moment Sir Niederburg adjourned the court. He did not want to stay there for a minute.

 Walking out of the courtroom, Alcott finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the clouds in the sky. Alcott had never realized that life was so beautiful.

Then Olcott noticed a large number of armed men gathered at the entrance of the court.

They were really armed men. Many of them openly carried powerful military weapons and gathered in small groups in front of the court to chat.

The police on duty at the entrance of the court were obviously extremely nervous and were desperately calling for support on the phone.

The militants were almost all wearing the same clothes, and some even had grenades hanging on their chests. This made Olcott feel like he was in the jungle of southern Africa.

It was then that Alcott realized that what Christian just said to Dart Edmund was really not a threat.
