Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 23 01.0023: ‘Objection! Court situation reversed! ’

[Arbitrator of the Ministry of Justice...? ] Horatio raised his gun and tilted his head slightly.

The majestic man seemed to have a spider sense. His sharp gaze through the black lenses passed through countless people and stared at Horatio, who only peeked his head from behind the shuttle.

Horatio felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from that piercing look.

It was out of righteous disgust that made his hair stand on end.

Although his eyes were full of hostility, Horatio was neither humble nor arrogant, and remained alert to look at him.

Anyway, I didn't break the law. Those people killed by the original master were all killed in vain. As the law enforcer of Gu Terra, I am open-minded, so why should I be afraid?

"Well, you came just in time, Your Excellency, Arbitration Inspector."

Public Security Prosecutor George still looked proud, with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.

"Arbitration Inspector Javert reports to you." The man made an extremely standard aquila salute to the prosecutor.

Horatio was confused by the situation in front of him, and whispered to Farida:

"Hey, isn't that person your mentor? But with his respectful look, he seems to be that guy's subordinate. Is that really okay?"

Farida was concentrating on observing the movements of the sniper fire team outside. Faced with Horatio's worries, she said calmly:

“The imperial official ranking list is divided into two categories: officials and non-officials. The security prosecutor is the 19th-level official.

The arbitration inspector is the highest-level non-official. Although the arbitration inspector is better than the security prosecutor in terms of salary, the security prosecutor is higher in terms of rank.

Even so, the arbitrator and prosecutor are still two systems, relatively independent. "

Horatio, who was in the military and police system in his previous life, quickly understood Farida's complicated explanation.

This is equivalent to the difference between a sergeant and a police officer, a non-commissioned officer and an officer.

"Your Excellency, since there is a hostage-taking incident, why not call the arbitrator?"

Arbitrator Javert withdrew his gaze from Horatio, glanced at Farida who leaned out half of her body to greet him, and then returned his gaze to the Public Security Prosecutor.

"I originally thought that the death row prisoner held Miss Hood hostage, but we just found out that it was Miss Hood who provided shelter for the death row prisoner. Now we are negotiating to ask her to transfer the death row prisoner to me. I don't think this kind of trivial matter is necessary. Excuse me, arbitrators, after all..."

George's voice slowly became deeper: "This kind of thing is too big, and it is not good for Miss Hood's reputation."

"What now?" Javert asked.

"Now?"

George sneered and said: "I don't know what trick the death row prisoner played on the noble Miss Hood. She actually refused to hand over the kid even if she openly resisted the law!"

"Sir, there must be a misunderstanding. Miss Hood comes from the most respected wealthy family in Abyss Port. How could she risk her family's reputation for an ordinary death row prisoner for no reason?"

Javert was indifferent. He obviously did not believe what Prosecutor George was saying.

"Did she say anything to you on the way here? Your Excellency, Arbitration Inspector."

"Miss Hood was attacked by cultists disguised as nest bailiffs during the escort mission, and she barely escaped from the devil's cave. And this mission was sent to Miss Hood by you, right?"

"Mr. Arbitration Inspector, watch your words!"

George's eyes were cold: "Are you implying that I pushed Miss Hood into danger?

Everything must be based on evidence. If you can't produce evidence, I will take you off as a police officer now on the charge of slandering an official appointed by the empire! "

"..."

Javert was silent. He trusted his students, but at the moment he really had no evidence to prove that there was something wrong with the security prosecutor in front of him.

On the surface, Farida is indeed on the wrong side, but since she insists on waiting for so long, waiting for the second batch of legal department personnel to arrive, she must be justified.

Javert turned to look at the shuttle and the two men hiding behind it.

"Your Excellency, Inspector, our communications have suffered unknown interference, and the law enforcement recorders are unable to transmit normally to the Ministry of Justice network."

An arbitrator saluted Javert and reported that two arbitrators were squatting next to the armored vehicle to inspect the relay signal base on the vehicle.

"Continue checking." Javert took the speaker from the vehicle and shouted to Farida:

"Miss Hood, can you hand over the condemned prisoner Horatio Cochrane to me now? I will escort him to the prison area of ​​the Ministry of Justice Fortress."

"As long as his safety is guaranteed, this is not a problem, Arbitrator Javert."

"Javert...?" Horatio asked Farida with a strange expression, "Doesn't your mentor particularly hate nesters?"

"How do you know?"

"..."

[Made, do you know how many times I have watched the literary holy relic "Les Misérables"! ]

"My mentor, ever since he was led into an ambush by the traitorous Xiachao guide and lost his master and all his comrades, he has no trust in Xiachao people at all. If he is involved in a case, he will be punished on the spot without mercy."

Yes, the Arbitrator of the Ministry of Justice mentioned in the story about the fortune teller is not the same guy.

Horatio suddenly felt his scalp numb. Who would have thought that he would become the focus of a whirlpool in stories that he had never cared about in the past. People who should have had nothing to do with him now all appeared around him.

And wasn’t this arbitrator investigating clues to the attack back then?

He must know something, so the cultists ambushed the entire Ministry of Justice team. Normally, no force would dare to provoke the Ministry of Justice unless they were tired of living.

Thinking about it carefully, the fortune teller's metaphor was really on point...

If I can survive this, I must go to that guy and ask him again next time, and I will definitely be able to dig out some useful information.

"Evidence! Is that evidence still there?" Farida looked at Horatio in panic and asked.

Horatio raised his thumb and took out the secret letter that was thrown around by the female hunter from his arms. At this time, he was folding it neatly.

"Your Excellency, the Arbitration Inspector!"

Horatio hid behind the shuttle and shouted:

"We found a secret letter in the cult's lair. The information on it is obviously only known to the insiders who arranged the task. I think, as long as we can find out the source of the information, we can definitely find out who is the insider hiding in the Ministry of Justice."

Horatio touched the female hunter and handed her the secret letter.

"Teacher, what he said is true. The secret letter is in my hand now."

Javert looked at Farida's long hand stretched out from behind the shuttle, with a stack of brown parchment between her slender fingers, and immediately asked an arbitrator to come forward and take the secret letter.

At this moment, the originally arrogant security inspector suddenly shouted out of control:

"That's a trick. Miss Hood has been brainwashed by the cultists. It's very dangerous now. We must take action immediately!"

"I object to your words! Mr. Security Inspector, Miss Hood has no hostile actions. Can you bear the responsibility of using force?!"

Javert glared at him coldly and actually stopped his superior directly.

The arbitrator sent by Javert got closer and closer to Farida until he took the parchment from her hand and walked back to the beginning.

The security inspector's expression became more and more excited. He pursed his dry lips tightly, and his eyes were so nervous that he couldn't help but move up and down, as if the content of the note could break his lifeblood in one blow.
