Chapter 197

Dawn came and the sun shines onto Ryan castle. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

The silent night had come to an end. The servants got up one after another. They fetched water, did laundry, cooking and so on.

Dudian got on early and went to diding room to eat. He saw Old Fulin up and making breakfast.

“So early?” Dudian saw Old Fulin was already sitting in the dining room.

Old patriarch smiled.: “Old men always sleep less.”

Dudian took off a chair and sat.: “What happened to the factory?”

“Everything is progressing according to our plans. Mellon consortium didn’t mention about our consortium for two straight days so that we could relax. Then they tried to make the surprise attack. Everything is as expected.” Old Fulin laughed and continued.: “Prestige of our consortium has risen as we have made a large consortium such as Mellon suffer.”

“The other naturally can’t figure what cards we have in our hands.” Dudian faintly smiled.: “Fame is not good in a sense, as the pressure will follow.”

Old Fulin looked at him.: “After two days the court will look to your case. Are you ready? The magistrated is tracing the assassination of deacon Huey and you have made the appeal. Aren’t you worried that they will look into your case and somehow link it to assassination?”

“They had called me to magistrate the first time as I was in the list of suspects.” Dudian said. “They won’t call me to interrogate again as there is no evidence to find! Moreover, the newspapers have already reported that the blood on the spikes belonged to a dog but not human. Are they going to catch a dog and sentence it?”

Old Fulin smiled.: “That is a masterpiece.”

Dudian shrugged his shoulders.: “They don’t have any solid evidence. At best they will stare at me but won’t be able to take action. However this time there are witnesses and evidence that point to Milan family. IF they investigate they can find that I have been to Moulin Rouge but there is no conclusive evidence to prove that I murdered the wife.”

“The main rules of the magistrate are fairness and conviction upon evidence! Doubts and speculations are nothing but expression of person feelings. Unless, Milan familiy completely buy the whole magistrate then nothing will change. But it should be impossible to buy all of them. It would be like a slap in the face to magistrate in this case. They are not that stupid!”

Old Fulin was startled.: “The words that you saw are sweet to ears. No consortium can buy magistrate including the Holy Church. But you are a ‘heavy’ suspect. You will be under investigation.”

“No, this case will end soon.” Dudian shook his head.

Old Fulin was surprised.: “soon?

“It has been a month since deacon Huey was assassinated. It has already been fermented for too long. The magistrate has to gain face and respect. They will just go with the evidence and give the result! As for the one who really killed deacon Huey, no one cares but his family and friends.”

Old Fulin looked up at Dudian.: “How can you so sure?

“Newspaper is a good thing.” Dudian smiled.: “The way the events surrounding deacon Huey is written show that there is lack of information. They always focus and outline how powerfull and cunning the magistrate is. At first glance it seems normal, but the events that I am aware of are proving against the news. Their progress is futile!”

Old Fulin nodded. He could understand this. He would report some other things in the news to distract people attention and cover the core issues when it came to their own consortium.

At this time, the middle-aged maid brought the morning paper.

Dudian grabbed the paper.: “Milan family’s involvement is a foregone conclusion. It will become the cornerstone to the success of my complaint. Disciplinary investiogation should do an in-depth research of the cases where Milan family and deacon Huey were involved. My case will be closely investigated too. Even though Burong and Milan family have jointly framed me but it will be enough to clean my sheet.”

Old Fulin also grabbed another newspaper and checked it. He sighed.: “It is really over for Milan family. Scott consortium’s new agency and the other news agencies under Huasheng consortium are covering the Milan family’s involvement in deacon’s death. Scott consortium is already hostile towards Mellon consortium on the surface. The other consortiums are also anxious to find problems related to Mellon consortium. The Milan family is part of Mellon consortium and is a big shareholder. Now, the patriarch’s eldest son is involved in a famour murder. They won’t loose an opportunity like this.”

Dudian smiled: “The moment prey shows it tail there will be archers ready to make the shot.”

Old Fulin deeply looked at the boy. He felt a bit of throb and chill because of latter’s faint smile. He knew that the kid will stir out even more incredible things in the future.

“Perhaps you are right.” Old Fulin slowly said.

Dudian looked at him as his lips turned into a big smile.

The magistrate building. Artemis street.

Michelle and the disciplinary knight with the sword scar were searching the archives. They dugged out three or four cases which had deacon Huey and Milan family. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

A few hours later, Michelle had three files.

“These are the cases where deacon Huey’s ruled over Milan family issues in the last five years.”

Michelle’s eyes narrowed as she opened them one by one to check.

“Giant Wall Calendar. Year 302. Black Snow Season. Longshan Ruby theft. ”

“Giant Wall Calendar. Year 303. Storm Season. Milan mine case.”

“Giant Wall Calendar. Year 304. Black Snow Season. Milan murder case.”

Michelle’s eyesbrows wrinkled as she began to check one by one from top to bottom.
