Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 134 'Insufficient Evidence, Acquittal'

"Dear Mr. Marcus, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Sitting in the dim interrogation room, Duckett had no domestic servants around him, and could only frequently wipe the sweat that was pouring down from his forehead with a handkerchief that had been soaked for a long time.

"No... There must be a little misunderstanding between us..."

Otherwise, how could I have been caught in the interrogation room of the Law Enforcement Bureau?

Duckett didn't even think about why he was caught by Marcus.

"Misunderstand?"

Marcus sat across the table from Duckett, although he was a little tired but his eyes were still sharp: "Mr. Foday, let me remind you that just 10 minutes ago, you told me that you killed two leather Citizens of the city!"

"I have sent someone to the home of the two of Langer to confirm that if everything is true, the two murders are enough for you to spend the rest of your life in the notorious Stillwater Prison."

"Although the Stillwater Prison is dedicated to detaining prisoners from the bottom city, but Mr. Foday, please believe me, as the sheriff of the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau, I have the right to put a few 'myself' in it."

I don't know why, from the second Duckett appeared in front of him, Marcus hated this out-and-out Piltover 'noble' very, very much.

Especially after hearing from the other party that they had 'handled' the two people including Langer, this kind of disgust reached its peak.

Compared with those noble people in Piltover whom he had come into contact with in the past, Duckett Foddy was actually no different in mentality.

If he had to pick out one fault, it might be his undisguised "ugly face" when he was flattering Marcus, which simply exposed the truest hearts of the nobles in Piltover to Marcos, making him An uncontrollable feeling of nausea.

It is said that a real villain is more frank than a hypocrite.

But Marcos wants to say that real villains are also more disgusting than hypocrites.

"Just because of two bloody mud legs?"

Duckett had disbelief written all over his face: "Mr. Marcus, I was punishing them for you, because they offended you..."

"I don't need anyone to stand up for me!" Marcus interrupted the other party's words impatiently, waving his hand: "And you only killed them because they affected the chamber of commerce under your name to make money through the Hexgate They, so stop using the so-called 'punish them for me' as an excuse to please me!"

Although Marcos was displeased by the actions of the two of Langer, Marcos never thought of dealing with anyone by killing people.

So Duckett's behavior of talking to himself is really disgusting to Marcus.

"Mr. Foddy, although I am a businessman, I am also a law enforcement officer." Marcus looked coldly at the middle-aged man on the other side of the table whose expression was not overly panicked but gradually stabilized. Slowly said: "As a law enforcement officer, I will never allow any illegal and criminal behavior in my jurisdiction.

Especially homicide! "

If it wasn't for the death penalty in Piltover's laws, and if it wasn't for all criminal suspects in Piltover to be convicted by the court or parliament, Marcos really wanted to throw Duckett into prison for proper 'discipline and discipline'.

"interesting."

Duckett withdrew his flattery: "It's a pity... Marcos, you still overlooked one point."

He looked into Marcus's eyes and said word by word: "I have never personally admitted to killing anyone, so you want to convict me, it is completely wishful thinking!"

"You didn't..." Marcus was about to taunt, but suddenly stopped.

That's right!

It is true that Duckett never said the words "I killed someone" from the beginning to the end.

At most, some "punish someone" remarks have been made.

But no one was named precisely in those remarks.

Even after being taken into the interrogation room by Marcus, Duckett seemed to be very panicked, and his words were impeccable.

As for the so-called homicide charge, more of it actually belongs to the 'heart evidence'.

Langer and the small person in charge of the Foday Chamber of Commerce must have been killed, and Marcus also knew that Duckett was inseparable from the deaths of the two, but in the face of the law that pays attention to evidence, he couldn't tell the truth. convicted of any crime.

Seeing Marcus react, his complexion became worse and worse, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Duckett's mouth.

In the mixed business district of Picheng, how could Duckett really give anyone a handle?
Without two brushes, he has long been swallowed up by the 'piranhas' of the major chambers of commerce in Piltover. How could he have the opportunity to sit here and talk to Marcus for a long time?
"Mr. Marcus, you are still too anxious." Duckett wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled strangely: "I heard that as the most famous rat extermination master in Piltover, Langer secretly kept pets. A few rats for testing medicine."

"One of the mice mutated due to an accident during a certain drug testing process, and its physique became different from that of ordinary mice."

"And after years of drug testing, this variation has become more and more bizarre."

"Well... I heard from Matt that the mouse was kept in a secret room by Langel... in a metal cage."

"Yesterday in the warehouse area, Mr. Marcos seemed to announce the new products that Hextech will release next?"

"Do you think that mouse will..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and several law enforcement officials came in one after another, followed by Duckett's servants and the two councilors, Ambesa and Deka.

"Sir..."

A law enforcement officer walked up to Marcos and was about to explain, but Marcos raised his hand to stop him and pulled him aside.

When he saw the presence of two congressmen, Abesa and Deca, he knew that Duckett would probably be acquitted today due to insufficient evidence.

"Are you two going to help him out?" Marcus stared at the two congressmen, the warning in his words was very obvious.

Anbesa's iconic gear collar was turning endlessly, and he didn't answer Marcus's words, but said lightly: "As one of the members of the Piltover Council, no one is worthy of 'I stand for him'. So we came here mainly because we don’t want people in Piltover to abuse their power and take advantage of their position to arbitrarily convict others.”

"What about you?" Marcos was noncommittal, turning his head to look at Deka, who looked like a robot.

"I don't intend to offend." Councilor Deka is not a human being, but a non-human race, his voice is hoarse and hoarse, with a mechanical fricative: "But the Foday Chamber of Commerce just sells a few necessities I need. If this channel If it's broken, I will be somewhat distressed, I hope you can give me face."

"I understand." Marcus nodded, and waved to Duckett's servants: "Go, take him away!"

As soon as the words came out, Councilor Deca said softly "thank you", and Anbesa looked at Marcos twice, wondering what he was thinking.

Several servants carried Duckett out of the interrogation room. When they passed the door, Duckett showed Marcus a flattering smile just like when they first met.

It's just that the meaning of "flattery" is no different from "sarcasm" in the eyes of Marcus at this time.

After the group of people left, Marcos summoned the law enforcement officer who wanted to speak just now and asked, "Did the two councilors Hoskar and Saro come?"

"No." The law enforcement officer replied: "But Senator Mel is here, and she asked me to inform you that she is waiting for you outside."

"Oh?"

Marcus raised an eyebrow.

Weird.

Why didn't the one who should have come, and the one who shouldn't have come instead?
