Huadu Observatory District.

High-end residential area on 14th Street.

【jingle--】

"Is this Mr. Heywood Lawrence? There is a letter from you here."

A postman stopped outside a high-end residential area. He pressed the doorbell of the residential area. Not long after the doorbell rang, the door was quickly opened, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked out.

"Are you Mr. Heywood Lawrence?" the postman asked the blond young man with a respectful expression.

When Xia Xiu saw the postman, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then replied with a harmonious smile on his face.

"Mr. Heywood Lawrence is inside. I am his friend. You can give me the letter and I will forward it to him later."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

The postman handed the letter into the hands of the blond young man, and then he rode away on his green motorcycle.

Xia Xiu turned his attention to the mail in his hand, and the corners of his upwardly raised mouth had now lowered, and his golden eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of darkness.

"destiny·······"

He had just discussed with Valente where to go to find the opportunity to unlock the secondary conditions. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, someone presented this opportunity to him, and two of them were given away.

When Xia Xiu saw the postman, the familiar anchor voice from [God's perspective] began to echo in his ears.

[God's Perspective·Private]: Justice is the primary value of social systems, just like truth is the primary value of ideological systems.

[God’s Perspective·Private]: The world always hopes to build a perfect social system, but these created systems always have their own problems; law is the embodiment of justice and is one of the systems created by the world. Law

It must not be despised, it will prove its worth, and those who uphold the law must have [justice] and [humility] in their hearts.

[Humility]: A humble person thinks from the bottom of his heart that he is no different from others, whether he is aristocrats, rich people, civilians or even criminals. Therefore, the knight's creed requires staying humble and treating yourself and others equally.

[Justice]: There is no absolute balance between law and human relations, so justice is a rare virtue.

This is what [God's Perspective] broadcast, and Xia Xiu's eyes have already fallen on the writing at the top of the letter.

"Notice of Trial".

Signed: Huadu Court.

"Are you so eager to slay the dragon?" The blond young man murmured to himself.

After Xia Xiu observed the letter for a while, he turned around and walked into the courtyard again.

··········

"You want me to attend the court selection!?" Valente in the living room took the envelope handed over by the blond young man in front of him with a confused look on his face.

"I've sent you the notice of the court election. If you don't see it, you won't give me face." Xia Xiu lay on the sofa and replied to Valente.

Valente looked at the recipient's name on the envelope and continued to ask Xia Xiu:

"Who is this Heywood Lawrence?"

"The owner who lived in this house before heard that his factory collapsed a while ago. In order to pay off the debt, the house was sold at a low price. I heard that he owed a lot of foreign debt and has not repaid it. Now I guess

People have already fled away from Fran." Xia Xiukou replied.

"How could the court staff be so negligent? They finalized the jury list and sent the trial notice without confirming the situation." Valente said with some disbelief.

Flan has a jury system for felony cases, that is, a felony court, but the jury system is not used for civil cases.

Although the serious crime court has court in its name, in fact it is often located in Huadu and the appeals courts of various regions.

According to the relevant provisions of France's Criminal Procedure Law, the main qualifications for serving as a juror include: French nationality, over 23 years old, and citizens who enjoy political rights, civil rights and family rights.

There are even more ineligible circumstances. Let’s not talk about other things. Just saying that Heywood Lawrence’s behavior of running away from debt is not enough to qualify him as a juror, and now the other party is actually selected as a jury member.

This is something truly outrageous.

Are all the court staff blind?

"Such serious mistakes would not occur under normal circumstances, but everything is abnormal now." Xia Xiu shrugged and replied.

For the [Crimson King], coincidence is his son. He can make countless unreasonable coincidences come to grandma's house to be pushed together, and a wrongly delivered court election notice is nothing.

"You mean to let me participate in the trial. People in the court can't see that I'm a fake. They don't even have photos on the personnel list."

"I bet you tomorrow's breakfast that no one will know you when you go to the court hearing. The one-in-a-million coincidence is just a matter of a lot of flexing of the wrist for a fate writer."

"He really wants us to win." Valente asked the question that Xia Xiu cared about most.

"I have no idea."

Xia Xiu shook his head and said seriously to Valente:

"He has once again given us the right to choose, and the direction of the story is ultimately determined by our choices."

Valente looked down at the envelope in his hand, then he raised his head, his brown eyes shining with the same dazzling luster as when he first met Xia Xiu.

"Of course I chose to go."

Xia Xiu was not surprised by Valente's decision. It was more important to seize any winning opportunity available at the moment than to be suspicious and suspicious.

"The trial is tomorrow. I think we need to prepare well, Juror Heywood Lawrence." Xia Xiu stood up with a smile.

"certainly."

Valente replied with the same smile.

··········

The next day.

Huadu Court.

Dark clouds rolled in from the edge, and in an instant it rained heavily, falling from the sky. The big raindrops kept falling like broken pearls. The rain became heavier and heavier. The pool of water gathered together was like a mirror, and the whole city was covered with rain.

The heavy rain was overwhelming.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A black car parked in the parking area of ​​Huadu Court, and a man in a black serious formal suit got out of the car holding an umbrella. The man had a pair of good-looking

With brown eyes and a face that looked unusually strong, the man's appearance attracted the attention of many people around him.

At this moment, the only people who can come here are basically the jury members this time.

"Valente, others can't see me now, but they can see you, so in order to prevent others from thinking you are crazy, just use the gestures we have prepared in advance when communicating with me."

A young man with blond hair and golden eyes was holding an umbrella and standing beside the man in formal clothes. What was strange was that the eyes of the people around him never focused on him, not even once, as if the blond young man in front of him was nothing.

Valente's right hand holding the umbrella moved slightly, which meant that he understood.

"There are a total of twelve people participating in the trial including you. According to regulations, the jury can only judge the facts of the case, and the judge is mainly responsible for the application of penalties. After the trial, the judge and jurors immediately entered the collegial room

Collegial in secret. They are not allowed to leave the collegial room before a final decision is made."

"The collegial meeting adopts the method of written voting. Each judge and juror must adhere to the principle of free testimony and vote secretly in accordance with various legal matters without being seen by each other."

"After all the votes are put into the voting box, the presiding judge will count the votes and vote results in front of the examiners and jurors. All blank votes and votes deemed invalid by the majority of the court judges and jurors should be counted as

The votes are counted in favor of the defendant."

"To decide that the defendant is guilty, the felony court must have at least 8 votes in favor. If 3 judges all find the defendant guilty, at least 5 jurors must vote in favor to convict the defendant, accounting for an absolute majority of the number of jurors.

most."

Valente walked forward, while Xia Xiu followed him and repeated the relevant content to each other. At the same time, their eyes glanced at the other eleven jurors.

"We only know that this case is a criminal case. An 18-year-old boy was brought to court on suspicion of killing his father. The specific details of the case are not yet known, but no matter what kind of case it is, we must be satisfied

justice."

The blond young man said as he stared at the court's emblem with his golden eyes narrowed.

Although the secondary condition for unlocking [God's Perspective] this time was informed by the Riddler as before, this time it clearly pointed out the primary condition - justice.

Whether it is correct, fair, and fully consistent with the provisions and spirit of substantive law, it can make people feel the fairness and rationality of the judgment process - "visible justice" - procedural justice.

Or it is justice in which good people or good deeds should receive good rewards, and evil people or evil deeds must receive evil rewards - substantive justice.

One of these two must be achieved, or both must be achieved.

Therefore, as a member of the jury this time, Valente must be cautious and tread on thin ice. He must treat the upcoming case cautiously.

"Are you supposed to be Juror Haywood Lawrence?"

A female staff member wearing light makeup hurriedly came to Valente's side and asked.

"Yes, I am." Valente nodded and replied.

After hearing Valente's confirmation words, Miriam's face showed an expression of relief unconsciously.

"Please come with me, the court will be held soon," Miriam said to Valente enthusiastically.

"OK."

Miriam led Valente into the court, while Xia Xiu on the side followed closely, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

This Miriam seems to have been waiting for Valente. She seems to know the faces of all the other eleven jurors, but not Valente’s face. Xia Xiu has noticed this person long ago.

The young girl was waiting eagerly in the rain.
