Wine and Gun

Hunter scoured the bedroom, living room, and study without giving up, and came to the conclusion that it was almost true: the contents of the house were basically from old newspapers and magazines since Slade moved to Westland. I noticed that mainly pornographic magazines) were dusty and neatly piled up in bookcases, all printed within thirty years; on the living room shelf were a few small trophies that read something like "Best of the Best" Staff Award," apparently something he got while working for Thompson; the barely-opened chess, playing cards, and other gadgets in the drawer show that the man hardly ever entertained guests at home.

Hunter frowned, pulled open the last drawer on the right-hand side of the study table in discouragement, flipped a few times among the neat stacks of gas and rent bills, ballpoint pens and paper clips, and then stopped his fingers slightly. .

He dug out a drawer and found something that he had never expected to be in Slade's house, littered with it.

- A rosary with a crucifixion under it.

Hunter looked at the thing in his hand in confusion. He could never imagine that Slade might be a religious person, but the rosary in his hand looked old, but the appearance was smooth and soft. It was someone who used to use it often... He unconsciously turned the cross in his hand to the back, and suddenly found that a line of shallow letters was engraved on the back of the wooden cross.

"The church of St. Anthony the Great."

Chapter 84 Fool's Celebration 04

Aurelie was walking through a dimly lit alley, thick clouds rolling in the dim sky, and it might be raining soon.

She stayed late in Wallis Hardy's office and subconsciously refused when he offered to send her home; at that moment, the other thought gave her a worried look, "I'm worried about you. "The state of the gods" was almost out of her mouth—she found that now, after many years, it was difficult for her to accept unreasonable good intentions.

And yet, it was almost like a joke: a prosecutor would actually worry about her tainted witnesses.

The next day is the pretrial hearing. As one of the witnesses who will testify in court, O'Reilly still has many details to discuss with the prosecutor. She was inevitably nervous, but Ms Hardy told her in a light-hearted tone that Slade was never going to pass the pre-trial detention hearing process, and not even a barrister like Amalette could get him to get a pre-trial hearing. bail.

"You are safe." The prosecutor said in a gentle tone.

O'Reilly has heard too many legal terms in these days, so she easily understood what the prosecutor meant: the purpose of the pretrial detention hearing is not to prove the suspect's guilt, but to prove that the suspect is on bail. A major escape was later suspected.

Slade was arrested in the house where the kidnapped children were being held, a crime that no doubt falls under section 3124(e) of the code (Wallis Hardy often addresses Aurelie this way, although Aurelie Li has not yet figured out what those provisions of the code are): that is, the suspect involved in the crime of the underage victim, so he will be barred from bail.

So even if the hearing has not yet begun, Slade and his men will almost certainly be held in jail until a formal trial.

Aurelie didn't know if she should feel at ease for this... Even though she had prepared so much for this day, at the moment when things were finally coming, she still felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart: as an emotion towards others An exceptionally sensitive woman, she was keenly aware that there was an unobtrusive anxiety lurking under Wallis' warm voice.

That is probably because the evidence they have is still insufficient, and Wallis may not be sure to convict Slade. With O'Reilly as a witness, Slade's charge may be convicted, but the others...

... those children.

Aurelie had been by Slade's side for so many years, of course she knew what was going on with those children, and the other party had always been very cautious. Thinking of this, A'Reilly inevitably sighed, because if Wallis Hardy's predictions were correct, the road ahead would be more difficult than she imagined.

And now, worriedly, she walked through the alleys, carefully avoiding the sewage on the ground - after cooperating with prosecutors, she gave up the beautiful top floor in the city center in order to avoid retaliation by the slippery fish of Slade's men Apartment, moved to a much smaller apartment than before. Slade didn't know the address, which reassured her a lot.

It was at this time that she heard a clanging metallic sound behind her, and she returned abruptly in the dark alley.

Aurelie was startled. She turned around and looked back. The alley behind her was still dark and quiet. The sound just now was the sound of a wild cat jumping into a trash can? After dark, it is already the time when small animals are often active. She thought so, but still involuntarily accelerated her pace in the next journey.

"Courage comes at a price."

——That's what Herstal Armalite said at the time.

Orion Hunter sat in the waiting hall with a cane without a blade in it on his knees, and a small backpack with nothing but a change of clothes or two at his feet. He looked like a homeless, lonely old man.
