Wei Lan originally wanted to find a reason to test the waters, but he couldn't alert the enemy.

What’s strange is that so much time has passed, why hasn’t Gabriel brought anyone here yet?

He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in the courtroom and found that almost an hour had passed. It should be time.

But it hasn't come yet.

If they haven't arrived in another half hour, it would only prove that his previous guess was correct.

According to his previous idea,

If they didn't come, then if he wanted to help Gemma, he would have to continue to delay.

Otherwise, the other side will put Gemma in jail, and in desperation he will choose to reveal his identity as a princess and postpone the matter for the time being.

But no one could prove his identity, so he would ask the judge to go to the palace to find someone to confirm it, which would delay time again.

But what is the reason for wanting to keep him here?

If Count Seppa and his group were trying to frame him again, could it be that they wanted to falsely accuse him of having connections with people in the church?

But this is too complicated. If they wanted to frame him for some connection with the church, they should have done it before. Why wait until now?

Or... not them...?

I wonder if Count Sepa and his people discovered what the Dog King did last night.

The judge and his companions were about to speak, but Wei Lan raised his hand before them:

"Your Highness, I now request a recess."

After hearing what he said, the judge thought about what had just happened and immediately prepared to disagree.

At this time, Wei Lan interrupted him again, looking anxious:

"Now that I have lost my witness, I need to obtain new evidence, conduct a re-inspection and additional investigation. I have the right to apply for a recess."

"..." This...The judge hesitated immediately, and glanced at the expressions of the jurors next to him and the plaintiff.

Wei Lan noticed his look and immediately shouted at him to stop him from having any other thoughts:

"Your Highness! My client has not rested for dozens of hours and is now exhausted."

As he said this, he signaled Gemma with his eyes, and Gemma immediately pretended to be half asleep and drowsy.

"And I have already said that I need to reinvestigate and collect new evidence. May I ask the judge if there is any other reason why I cannot go?"

The judge was startled by the two words he called out first. He trembled on the spot and looked at Wei Lan with eyes that seemed as if he could see through him, which made people inexplicably panic.

"Protest!" The defendant immediately raised his hand and said to the judge:

"This is already the second trial! Even if new evidence needs to be investigated, it will have to be done after this recess."

"Reject! Regarding the evidence just provided by the plaintiff," Wei Lan raised his hand again, staring at the judge with a fierce struggle:

"I have learned a new piece of evidence and I am going to collect it now. May I ask your Honor why I cannot go now?"

The judge was sweating profusely and began to wipe his face with a handkerchief. Under normal circumstances, this reason would be completely feasible.

But now, he glanced at the two men in horror again.

"The evidence is now irrefutable, with no exceptions." The plaintiff's attorney did not give up, fearing that he would run away.

"Is there any other evidence to investigate?"

Wei Lan put aside his ferocious face and began to stare at the litigant. The corners of his lips unconsciously rose and he turned his head to look at the judge:

"Since there is no evidence, let's convict him now."

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone present widened their eyes.

The audience in the gallery began to discuss:

"Oh my god, what's going on?!"

"Why is this lawyer like this? That person is really unlucky to have met this lawyer."

"What do you know? Now that we have evidence, shouldn't that person be sentenced to death?"

The judge's hand, which had just been wiping his temple, suddenly trembled, and his pupils suddenly widened as he stared at Wei Lan.

It was as if I had heard him wrongly.

Gemma did the same, stretching her entire neck forward, almost stretching out of the table in front of her and reaching in front of Wei Lan.

Just to ask him, am I really... so damned?

"Humph!" John snorted, and laughed as if he had won 800 million, very proud:

"Hey~~ Who was so confident just now? Even the defense lawyer said so, why don't you quickly convict him?"

He said this without thinking at all, and the plaintiff glared at him as if he were a fool.

John finally reacted and stammered:

"If there is really something that has not been found out about the interest, why not let him investigate it further? After all, we can't wrongly accuse any good person, right?"

When Wei Lan heard the voice, he raised one corner of his lips. It seemed that his guess was correct.

The judge banged his gavel:

"In that case, let's adjourn the court for half an hour."

Wei Lan rolled his eyes. Is this half an hour enough for him to go back and forth or for anything else?

As soon as the court was adjourned, the judge and his entourage went to the back, but John and his people were still sitting there.

At this time, a man suddenly came up and said something to him.

Wei Lan pretended to walk towards Gemma, but in fact he was always at Guan Cheng's side. This person was the one who spoke to the juror at the beginning.

He has to find a chance...

When he turned his gaze back, he saw Decoder looking at him pitifully:

"Princess..."

When Wei Lan heard these two words, he immediately glared at him.

"Shhh."

Gemma nodded, and Wei Lan stood beside him across the table surrounding him and whispered:

"There's a problem now. Can you handle these people?"

Gemma was a little surprised. She glanced at the people around her and nodded:

"Don't look at me like this, actually I."

"Shut up and listen to me first." Wei Lan immediately interrupted him from bragging again:

"Well, I'm going to the bathroom later. You can apply to go as well. I'll tell you in detail then."

Gemma had no choice but to purse her lips and nod again.

Wei Lan continued walking forward after he finished speaking. Sure enough, someone followed him after he had taken several steps, pretending to be unintentional.

The other few people walked in the opposite direction to the outside of the Dharma Hall, probably hoping to stop him if he really wanted to leave.

Wei Lan stopped and asked a staff member in the Dharma Hall:

"Excuse me, where is the toilet?"

After he asked this question, he glanced around unnoticeably, and the person following behind him also stopped and pretended to chat.

The staff pointed him in a direction, and Wei Lan touched his stomach and walked forward, and the group followed.

After Gemma caught up, she also noticed these people instantly.

Wei Lan went to the toilet. In that era, there was no distinction between men's and women's toilets. Each one was separated by a wooden door. He closed the door as soon as he entered.

There are a total of 6 single rooms around, and the only way out is through the window in front.

Wei Lan ran towards the window and quietly raised his head. Sure enough, there were groups of people pretending to walk around outside.

Wei Lan quietly walked to the door again, looked out through the gap, and sure enough, there was someone standing outside guarding.

At this time he heard another voice coming from outside:

"Ouch! Get out of the way! I want to pee!"
