Sherlock lowered his head, as if he was about to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
"So, I hope you can give me an answer. If everything is your so-called conjecture, then I will give my questions." Orson continued to slowly break down Sherlock's inner defense.
"Miss Sherlock, you are certainly very smart, but at the same time, you also know that evidence is absolute. If you can't produce evidence, please give me enough respect."
"I've given you enough respect, Orson!" At this time, Sherlock seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She raised her head and looked at Orson, with a few tears in her eyes.
"Ossen, you know, those who work in my line of work are exposed to a lot of things every day and learn about a lot of dark events. I won't think of you in dark ways, just because you are Aosen. ”
"Do you think I haven't solved those unsolved 'unsolved cases'? You rich and powerful people, even if you can rely on your own resources and make countless people work for you without betraying you, there will always be flaws. One day, my job is to wait for you to show your flaws and send you to face sanctions. "
"You have been telling me about the evidence. Yes, we only have oral testimony and reasoning now, and no witnesses or physical evidence, but this does not prevent me from continuing the investigation."
With that said, Sherlock stood up.
"Orson, I regard you as a friend, and I don't think you will use those shady methods."
Orson sighed after hearing this.
"Miss Charlotte." His title for Sherlock returned to a more familiar one.
"You are a very smart person. Since you are smart, you should already know the laws of this world."
"Before drastic changes occur in society, the so-called 'fairness' and 'justice' will always be only one-sided."
"Tell me, if a person attempts to subvert the country and murder the king, and the king learns about it and sends someone to assassinate that person, will anyone seek justice for him?"
"No." Orson said, smiling and shaking his head. "Because the entire country belongs to the king, the police station you are currently in, which is said to maintain justice, is only protecting the interests of the king and helping the common people solve their problems."
"So what? Isn't this kind of justice called justice?"
"Of course this kind of justice is justice, but what if there is a way to achieve greater justice?"
Hearing Orson's words, Sherlock was stunned.
"Are you trying to turn me against me?"
"Why should I instigate you? You are a smart man and naturally have your own thoughts. I just want to say that when the emperor's relatives can also be sent to the guillotine, justice will be truly realized, right?"
"Then what does all this have to do with this case?"
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a communication between friends."
"Also, please believe me, I'm on your side."
Chapter 38: The aftermath of the arrest
"Huh, that's great. I can finally get out and move around."
On a grassy field outside the prison, a raven was wearing prison uniform and breathing the outside air wantonly.
Beside him, stood two eighth-level strong men, one was Prince Arthas and the other was Sheriff Owen.
"Don't forget why we let you out." Arthas frowned as he watched the raven's actions.
"I know, I know, it's just to make me more useful."
Raven said this and nodded nonchalantly.
"Anyway, I am already a dead person. If the crime of killing the Duke is placed on me, I will be torn into pieces." Raven said jokingly.
Arthas didn't say anything when he heard this.
Irving glanced at the time, and then signaled that there was not much time left.
"That's almost it. You only have half an hour to go out today."
"Alas, good times are always short."
When the raven heard this, he didn't stay much longer. He just sighed and then took the initiative to return to the prison.
It wasn't until Raven was locked in the cell that Arthas and Owen walked out together.
"Your Highness, I don't think you can trust this person too much."
"I know." Arthas nodded. "However, since he was not responsible for the murder of my father, we need to use him to catch the real mastermind."
"Do you think it's possible for him to do so many things at the same time just by himself?"
"It's really hard."
"So, we have to catch this one of the few insiders. At least we can't kill him until the case is completely solved and he has completely lost his use value."
"Okay." Owen heard this and could only nod. "By the way, Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness Elsa will be back in a few days. By then, she will still be taking over the affairs of the security station."
"I know, I will tell her, I believe she also hopes to find the murderer of my father."
"However, if the target is really Orson..."
"Believe me, if it is really Orson, no one can protect him."
…
A few more days passed, and the Imperial College team also returned to Saint Laurent City.
"Dean, this is what happened." In the dean's office, after Tris reported the entire training process to Luka, she also mentioned to Luka the arrest of Orson by the guards.
"I know that Orson has returned to Saint Laurent City a few days ago. The people at the police station informed me, and I asked them to release Orson back to attend a speech during the graduation ceremony. They Agreed."
"Is that all?" Tris frowned when she heard Luka say this.
"Of course, after all, the Imperial Academy bears the name of the empire. What the security officer said was personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor. We have to give His Majesty the Emperor this face, right?"
"As for Orson, I believe that with his ability, he will be able to turn danger into disaster and turn danger into safety."
"...So Principal, haven't you done anything to help Orson?" Tris couldn't help but say.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, he's already a Duke." Luka sighed helplessly.
After hearing this, Tris stopped staying here any longer and turned around to leave the office.
…
On the other side, Elsa also found Owen.
"Chief Owen, I hope you can give me an explanation. Why did you arrest Orson?"
In the office of the Sheriff's Office, Elsa looked at Owen in front of her with an angry look on her face.
You know, she and Orson had experienced life and death in the snowy field not long ago. As a result, when she just returned to Saint Laurent City and took over her position, she encountered such a situation. It would be difficult for anyone else to accept it.
"Your Highness Elsa, we did not lock up Mr. Orson. We just arranged for him to temporarily live in the residence we protect and let him assist in our investigation."
"Okay." Elsa suppressed her anger and asked:
"So, do you have any evidence?"
"There is indirect evidence. The previous list of partners of Orchid Tavern included Mr. Orson's name."
"I've seen that list. Besides Orson, there's also the name of the Emperor's brother, right? Why didn't I see you arrest the Emperor's brother?"
"This..." Owen was immediately troubled when he heard Elsa ask this.
"Because I am here and can cooperate with their investigation at any time."
At this time, Alsace's voice sounded from behind Elsa.
"Elsa, don't embarrass Owen. He is also following orders."
"On orders? Whose orders are you on? I am the one in charge of criminal matters, brother emperor."
Elsa looked at Alsace who came in, showing no intention of giving in.
"Elsa, don't be willful. This matter is my father's will. He wants to investigate this case thoroughly."
"Father? Okay, then I will ask my father now."
After saying that, Elsa stood directly in front of Alsace and Owen and left without looking back.
The two looked at each other with helpless expressions.
There was nothing they could do. The two of them had long expected Elsa's reaction to discovering this situation after she came back, but they still didn't expect the reaction to be so big.
Similarly, Olivia, Leeteuk, Lena, Lianka and others also showed worried expressions after hearing the news that Orson was invited to have tea.
At this moment, several people were gathering in the living room of Orson and Lite's dormitory, discussing countermeasures.
"Do you have any information?"
Li Teuk rarely made the decision this time. She sat in the main seat, looked at the people below, and asked.
"I heard from Her Highness Elsa that it should be related to the previous turmoil in the Imperial City, but hasn't the murderer been caught?" Lianka told the information she knew at this time.
When Olivia heard what Lianka said, she lowered her head and thought about something.
She knew a lot of information, but a lot of it couldn't be told to everyone here, so she chose to remain silent.
As for Lena, she did know some information, but she couldn't tell it either. When Lianka mentioned the turmoil in the imperial city, Lena's ears twitched, and then she lowered her head and remained silent. Saying.
"So, just because of this incident, they put Orson under house arrest?"
Liteuk was still very dissatisfied. After all, Orson had made so many contributions to the empire, but he was arrested as soon as he said he was going to be arrested. Wouldn't that be unfair to a good person?
"After all, it involves the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor, so we have to take it seriously, and the previous incident with Giovanni is still fresh in our mind, right?"
Olivia explained this.
"Then... shall we just wait here for big brother to come back?" Lena suddenly asked at this time.
"Really, Orson is obviously a hero of the empire, but he is treated like this." Li Te couldn't help complaining at this moment.
"Hey...you guys, what would happen if this matter were made public?" Lianka thought of a way.
"It just so happens that Orson has a high reputation in the empire. If this matter is made public, will it attract more people's attention?"
"When the time comes and people march, will they be forced to release Orson?"
"Hey...don't tell me, it's really possible..."
Liteuk heard Lianka's suggestion, thought for a while, and then nodded.
"Then... without further ado, let's act quickly?" Lianka said softly.
"Yeah!" Lit nodded. "Just do it your way! We must let those guys who arrest people know the power of public opinion!"
Chapter 39: I don’t want to be your enemy (3K)
So, the next day, the news spread throughout the streets of Saint Laurent City that Orson had been casually taken away.
At first, the girls of the "Orson Support Club" privately discussed the fact that Orson was not among the students returning from the Imperial College, and then someone mentioned the problem at the city gate at that time.
After that, it was exaggerated that Orson's achievements were so great that the emperor wanted to use an excuse to accuse Orson of a false crime, so he arrested Orson.
The rumor spread quickly and was processed into countless different versions, but without exception, there was one thing in common, that is, Orson was arrested.
So, many people began to spontaneously go to the gate of the police station, hoping to ask for an explanation.
This morning, Sherlock was about to go to the police station to work, and was immediately stunned by the crowd at the gate of the police station.
A large group of people, as if to flood the street, stood at the gate of the police station, and the leading few people were arguing with the guards at the gate of the police station.
"Sorry, let me pass."
Sherlock said this, looking at the people in front of him, ready to let him pass.
When they were almost at the entrance of the police station, a person next to them suddenly spoke.
"Hey, you, are you working in the police station?"
Hearing that person say this, the people around him also cast their eyes on Sherlock.
"Are you the one who arrested Lord Orson?"
"Hey, speak up! Why did you lock Lord Orson up?"
"Is this how you treat the great hero of the empire?"
Sherlock heard what the people around him said, and then thought of himself in the middle of the crowd, and panicked at the moment.
She knew what impulsive behavior the excited crowd would do.
In this regard, she could only say: "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, but please let me pass."
"Hey! Don't think of just fooling around like this, bastard!"
