Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 211 Assassination of Ambassador Bakerland

Hobert asked: "Which lawyer did your colleague hire to defend?"

"I didn't hire a lawyer." Emma said: "The person who sued Wendell used to be a paralegal, because the law firm suddenly went bankrupt..."

Having said that, Emma made a "you should understand" expression.

Hobert nodded: "What is the defense plan like?"

"Although I have attended grammar school for several years, I am very unfamiliar with the law, and I don't know any defense plan." Emma said: "I only know that she lost the case because the reason is that the money from whoring is illegal income and is not protected by the law. .”

She smiled: "The judge's original words seem to be that Wendell's behavior can only be punished morally, but it is difficult to punish legally.

"Hehe, when the judges came to our neighborhood for consumption, I didn't see them say that this is an illegal business."

Hobert pondered for a while: "There is a problem with the direction of this defense!"

He said: "I took this case, and I will submit the materials to the court in a while. I believe Wendell will receive the subpoena by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Emma was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for accepting this case. I didn't even have any hope."

After sending Emma away, Jessica reminded Hobert: "According to the relevant laws, um, whoring, the money from whoring is indeed illegal income. If you sue the other party for picking quarrels and provoking troubles or debt problems, it will be difficult to establish. If you sue them for stealing or robbing It seems inappropriate to use other people’s property.”

Hobert said with a smile: "I have said more than once that if one direction of defense is difficult to achieve our goal, then try another direction."

He said: "Especially for you, you must be good at finding loopholes in the other party, as well as loopholes in laws and regulations.

"Well, you are also involved in this case, learn more and read more."

Jessica nodded happily: "Okay."

……

It was Friday, and in the evening, the staff of the Intis embassy in Backlund's West District were busy coming in and out.

Tonight is the most critical time to snatch the manuscript of the great scientist Turani von Hermoschuin. In order to show his magnanimity, Bakerland, the ambassador of the Republic of Intis, instructed his assistant Rosago to mobilize all his forces to participate in the operation. , he called a ball.

To show that I was busy with other things and had nothing to do with the robbery of the manuscript.

Bakerland walked around the ballroom and saw that there were no omissions, so he took his personal servant to the backyard before the guests arrived.

As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Bakerland always felt that something was wrong. He looked around seriously, and the first thing he saw was the respectful male servant, then the military officer standing guard in the backyard, and a few people carrying wine from the warehouse to the front. servant.

Bakerland shook his head. There are more than a dozen military officers from the Republic of Intis in the embassy, ​​and they are all Extraordinary.

For Bakerland, this place is safe.

Continue to walk forward and come to a small independent one-story house. Bakerland stands in front of the door, frowning: "Go to the front and open the door! Idiot!"

The valet visibly trembled in fright, and hurried forward to open the door.

When I came to the small bungalow, the feeling of something wrong reappeared.

Bakerland frowned, and then he smiled. If someone really did harm to him here, he would really be courting death.

There was only one table and one cabinet in the small bungalow. Bakerland lit three candles on the table, and then drew an abstract symbol of a throne in the middle.

Then he took out the extraordinary material from the small cabinet, put it on a candle and burned it, and wisps of illusory white smoke drifted out, exuding a strange fragrance.

Just when Bakerland was about to bow his head to pray, suddenly a strange cold voice said in the room: "I guessed right."

Bakerland immediately became vigilant. At this time, two feet appeared not far from the table, and then his legs went up. A man with a pale face and an icy expression appeared.

Of course this man was Dopheus who came to assassinate Bakerland.

Bakerland took a step back and deliberately asked loudly, "How did you get in?"

"It's useless." Dopheus pointed to the top: "No one can hear the voices in this room, including the person you want to pray for."

At some point, the spirit that looked like a balloon had floated over the heads of the two of them.

Bakerland suddenly had the illusion that he was completely seen through: "Impossible!"

He almost shouted: "Great Lord of War; Guardian of Intis; Lord of Weather and Mists; Symbol of Chaos and Will!"

Sure enough, there was no reaction at all.

Dopheus smiled and said, "This is the honorable name of the former king of Intis, right? I knew that an angel would not be killed so easily by Roselle."

He pointed to the balloon above his head and said: "This natural spirit is very special. He can cut off the connection of the spirit world within a certain range. Not only can the sound not be transmitted to the outside, but it will also cut off all the channels through which your prayers can reach the person you pray for. "

Without hesitation, Bakerland immediately stepped back and prepared to escape through the door. Just as he made a move, a dagger suddenly appeared in the hand of the valet behind him, and stabbed forward against Bakerland's receding body. .

Before this, Bakerland hadn't guarded against his personal servant at all, and he easily succeeded.

puff~
The dagger pierced Bakerland's back.

At this moment, Bakerland came to his senses and kicked the servant flying away, only slightly hurting him.

And his male servant suddenly turned over in mid-air, avoided the window, and hit the wall directly.

thump~
The whole small bungalow trembled, and the manservant even fell to his brains.

But the male servant didn't seem to notice that his head was smashed, and he stood up calmly, holding a dagger, and made an attacking posture towards his master.

Bakerland did not continue to run away. As a hunter, he knew that when a ferocious beast was staring at him, running away blindly would only expose his most vulnerable side to the beast.

Just now, after he was attacked by his servant and tried to kick the servant out of the window but failed, he knew that if he continued to escape, he would only die faster.At this time, you have to keep an eye on the beast and look for opportunities to escape.

"Didn't you find out? Your servant has been dead for more than half an hour." Dopheus, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly became a little chatty:
"In the past few days, I have been observing you through the natural spirits of the embassy, ​​and I have also asked these natural spirits about your life rules.

"I found a very interesting phenomenon, you often appear in this small room at this time in the afternoon, and don't let anyone disturb you.

"It's a pity that there is no natural spirit in this small room, so I have no way to know the answer directly.

"What are you doing in here?

"It took me a few hours to figure out that Backlund is so far away from the Republic of Intis. If there is urgent and confidential news that needs to be transmitted, how do you communicate with each other? Relatively speaking, the confidentiality of telegrams is too high." Worse.

"The answer is almost ready to come out. You pray to the angel of the Republic of Intis and report the situation here. Or read the name of that angel and let him give you instructions."
