Pomegranate.

Albarino Bacchus once said - "Persephone ate the six pomegranate seeds that Hades gave her, and was left in the underworld six months out of the year.

McCard took a slow, slow breath. Was it what he thought? He could hear a low hissing sound from the air in his throat. He took out a pair of rǔ rubber gloves from his pocket and didn't put them on immediately. Go, touched the pomegranate in the vase carefully.

The withered flower branch trembled and made a small sound that seemed to be overwhelmed. The branch was slightly tilted to one side, and something gushed out from the withered fruit peel that had been bursting by the pulp—a certain A dark liquid flowed out of the pomegranate's dry vermilion shell, like a surreal scene from a spooky nightmare, and crashed onto Hardy's polished tabletop.

McArd stared at the pomegranate branch and the viscous liquid with a fishy smell from the pomegranate peel in front of him, and was rarely dazed.

Half-coagulated blood flowed out of the fruit.

—This is the gift given to him by the Sunday gardener.

Chapter 100 Secret Rose 04

As Herstal himself was brought into court, there was an unquenchable murmur from the crowd, forcing the judge to strike the gavel twice. Herstal could easily guess what was on the minds of these bystanders, to the blessing of Toliohard Schreiber, and the minds of the inhabitants of the state might be wondering whether he was a Westland pianist or not. The ultimate question draws.

Unfortunately, this trial is not for this discussion.

"I need to confirm one last time before questioning the witnesses," the judge said, his voice returning in the middle of the hall, which gradually quieted down, "Mr. Get a lawyer. Are you sure you want to defend yourself?"

It's not illegal to defend yourself, but it's rare. The people who choose this method are usually megalomaniacs with low brains, and it is difficult for people without professional training to deal with the sharp questions of prosecutors in such a mind - Herstal, of course, is not among them, he nodded coldly , said: "Yes."

"Okay." The judge nodded slightly and did not intend to delve into this issue, "then we will first ask the prosecution, which will revolve around the allegation of Armalite's murder of Dr. Albarino Bacchus-Ms. Musk, Please."

Ms. Musk nodded briefly, standing proudly in the seat belonging to the prosecutor, and began to ask, "Please tell us your name and occupation."

"Herstal Armalite, Partner at A\u0026H Law Firm."

"When did you meet Dr. Bucks?" Ms. Musk asked.

"Richard Norman was my client when he was killed, so I was summoned by the WLPD as well." Herstal's voice was still devoid of emotion.

This part of the answer is nothing to study carefully, and these contents are completely comparable to the testimony provided by Olga. And Ms. Musk didn't ask in detail, but asked directly: "When did you establish a relationship with Dr. Bucks?"

"What relationship is established?" Herstal raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back.

"It's a relationship, of course." Ms. Musk frowned, seeming bewildered by his question.

"I don't know what you have misunderstood about me and Albarino, ma'am," replied Herstal calmly, "--I never had a relationship with him."

There was an uproar in the crowd, Herstal's eyes swept across the auditorium calmly, and he saw Olga sitting in the front row, showing him a knowing smile. Herstal paused, then continued: "Of course, if you're asking about sexual relations, we had a relationship after the killer Qiángni case, which was at the end of last year."

Ms. Musk nodded slightly: "Why did you choose to be together at this point in time? As far as I know, before this, you only maintained an ordinary friendship."

This is a point of information known to the public. After all, no one has discovered their relationship before. Herstal also thinks that it is a bit of a case to involve himself in the case of "my boyfriend was killed by the Westland pianist". Too dangerous... In fact, if possible, he would tend to keep this relationship a secret forever, but after the Anthony Sharp case, it was necessary for Officer Hardy to witness the alibi of the two of them.

"Because we have shared painful experiences, it is human nature to choose to comfort each other in that situation - sorry I can't describe the causes and consequences in detail, this is out of the consideration of protecting the privacy of the victims." Herstal replied calmly.

He could still hear the murmurs in the crowd: the kidnapping of his killer Qiángni has never been made public to the media, and who the pianist's victim of Qiángjian's case is is a big secret in the eyes of the media. But it was not difficult for everyone present to guess the truth from his few words, and he could see that some people in the gallery looked eager to rush out of the courthouse to write a report now.

"'Mutual comfort,'" Musk quoted very clearly, "you said you and Dr. Bucks never had a relationship, so is this a drawbridge effect in a crisis environment? Do you love him? ?"
