Arknights, reincarnated as a cat

Chapter 117 A loving father and a filial daughter

Texas came to the interrogation room again and sat face to face with Lavinia again.

"Miss Texas, Leon told me about your matter. Then you only need to plead guilty in a public trial, and that's it. When the trial is over, you can leave here by your own means, if necessary. , I will assist you."

She had previously analyzed some of the things that happened to the Bellone family recently, and all of them avoided Leontuso's reaction area when they happened.

The people who do these things know the style and habits of the young master of Bellone very well.

Texas has not set foot on the land of Syracuse for seven or eight years, and has only been with the Bellone family for a few days. It is impossible to understand Leontuso's behavior at once.

Lavinia was helpless.

She knew that Texas was not the murderer, and that the real murderer was probably Dmitri next door.

Because only he, who understands Leontuso's behavior and habits, has the power to mobilize the family's personnel.

But there is no evidence to prove that Dmitry was the mastermind behind this series of attacks on government officials and banquets.

Dmitri also refused to say a word, and he didn't ask a single useful word all night.

The current situation is getting more and more chaotic. If we want to stabilize the current situation, we can only let Miss Texas temporarily take the blame.

Will she fail justice again?

She thought about the paper that fell out of the folder on her desk yesterday.

She didn't know when and who put this note in. She only saw one line written on the paper: Family is not important, ordinary people are important.

This kind of statement can be regarded as deviant in Syracuse.

But Lavinia couldn't help but think at this moment:

It would be nice if there was no family.

After this idea came up, she was shocked by her own thoughts, but she couldn't help but continue to think about it.

As a judge, she comes into contact with many people, including civilians, officials, and family members. The people are the material foundation of the entire country, and the people and officials play their respective roles in the operation of the city. Then she discovered that in today's Syracuse, the family, this behemoth hidden in the dark, did not have a clear position in the operation of the city.

them......

Not even participating in the running of this city.

On the contrary, because the family relies on blood connections, population has become a big problem for them.

They do not have enough manpower to invest in a complex government.

Food and money are all gifts from the people.

Without the people, the family will soon destroy itself, but without the families oppressing them, the people may live better.

So, what will happen if the chaos continues?

Lavinia thought.

That was the bloodshed that was bound to happen between families.

But that's not enough. She understands the family. Even if all the families in the city are at war, the family will not disappear.

The current family is weak.

The chaos caused by the weakening of the Bellone family was not enough to make the family that had long lost its blood disappear from the land of Syracuse.

After thinking about it for a while, Lavinia decided that she could only let Texas take the blame first and then wait and see.

But there is one question that has not been answered since Dmitri was taken into custody last night.

That's why Bellone directed and acted in this play.

What do they picture?

This made Lavinia's brows frown even tighter.

"You seem to be confused about something, Miss Judge, would you like a snack?"

Lavinia sighed.

"need."

Taking the biscuit from Texas, Lavinia did not continue to get into trouble.

"So when is the trial set? Can it be earlier? I'm in a hurry."

"I will submit the materials later. As soon as possible, the trial will begin tomorrow morning and your crime and sentence will be announced."

"Okay, please hurry up as much as possible."

Although it was just for show, it was the first time that Lavinia had been a judge for so many years when she saw someone so eagerly demanding to sentence her quickly.

He sighed for no reason and nodded.

"it is good."

"In other words, as long as the Texas charges are confirmed, the chaotic situation can be stabilized? She has completed the agreement and can go back?"

Maomao nodded in affirmation.

After several people from Penguin Logistics learned about this situation, they also hoped that the court would quickly sentence Texas so that she could complete the agreement and go home with them.

Even if something goes wrong along the way and they can't get out, they still have to rob the prison. Monique took advantage of yesterday's opportunity to get through the prison.

Very familiar.

And with the super big C of Maomao, they don’t believe that there is a prison in Syracuse that can stop them from robbing the prison.

"Oh, I didn't expect Sister Texas to go in again right after she came out. She doesn't come in so fast at Longmen."

"But if nothing goes wrong, Texas can go home with us tomorrow!"

"But why do I always feel that something will go wrong like this?"

Croissant rubbed the black cat in his arms and said, "I heard from those shop owners that these families are doing very dirty things."

"Yes, if someone wants this city to continue to be in chaos, then they will find a way to get rid of Texas." Monique looked at Li Xia, "So, Xiao Hei, go and help Texas Keep an eye on it, after all, poisoning alone can make it difficult to detect."

"The biscuits in Texas shouldn't be enough for her to eat today. Xiao Hei, help me bring them to her."

Kong took out a few boxes of biscuits commonly eaten in Texas, and Li Xia put them into the ectoplasm space, and then returned to the prison.

It was a quiet night around the courthouse today.

No one else came near Texas' cell either.

Of course, the environment in the prison was exceptionally quiet today. The prisoners around the Texas cell all followed a healthy schedule of going to bed early and getting up late after the arrival of the cats.

The night passed without incident. When the sun rose, the trial took place as scheduled.

"Chelinina? Texas, you were present at the scene of the murder of the minister in Karachi, right?"

"Yes, I planted the bomb and detonated it as he passed by."

The people in the audience were in an uproar.

Various voices came from the audience, but Texas turned a deaf ear to them.

"quiet!"

Lavinia silenced the voices and continued to ask Texas:

"What's the motive?"

"No motive."

Texas said these four words very calmly, causing people in the audience who didn't know the truth to look at each other and think she was a devil.

"Who ordered it?"

"No one ordered it."

"So, you did it all by yourself?"

"Ah."

Lavinia and the other judges on the stage exchanged glances, and they had no other objections to this.

But at this time, someone in the family jury started to call.

"How is that possible! Where did you get the bomb? How could you have the chance to install it?"

"Are you here to avenge the Texas family?"

"Why did you admit that you killed him!"

Texas glanced at them and looked away.

"Does it matter?"

This sentence made the family members of the jury so angry that they became angry and warm on the spot.

Then she looked at Lavinia.

"Judge Lavinia, I have confessed to all the crimes, but the people on the jury are too noisy. Can we just skip these unnecessary procedures?"

“…”

Lavinia looked at Texas, who barely had the words "I want to go home right away" written on his face with a pen, nodded, and raised the hammer in his hand.

"I declare that Chelinina Texas is guilty of murdering the Minister of Construction, and the verdict is-"

Suddenly, near a part of the outer wall, they heard a voice.

It was a powerful roar, like the sound of an engine.

It turned out that it was a truck that had crashed into the wall of the courthouse, and the figure inside fell out of the window.

With his crazy smile, elegant posture, and disdain for order, he turns out to be the stray white wolf of the Saluzzo family!

"Well, that's the expression I want to see. Good day, everyone."

The white wolf who drove his car through the court wall bowed slightly towards the crowd and saluted.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lapland Saluzzo."

"What? It's Saluzzo?"

"Why this family?"

"Why did they send people here? They broke through the courthouse, ugh! What were they going to do?"

Voices of shock, confusion, and fear rang out from the crowd.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Lapland grinned and said, "At the same time, I am also the real murderer of Karachi."

When Texas in the trial court heard Lapland say this, he felt a headache and helplessly covered his forehead with his hands.

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Soon, Lavinia suspended the trial and asked the court guards to arrest Lapland on the spot.

Subsequently, a surprise trial was held against Lapland.

Lavinia saw that this guy was not the real murderer, but she didn't know what purpose she had in breaking into the court.

But surprisingly, she also revealed two accomplices.

When the guards captured the two men, Lavinia also arranged for Lapland to identify the two men.

The ones who were arrested were none other than Capone and Gambino.

"Hi."

Lapland smiled and greeted the two captured people.

Capone's mentality collapsed on the spot.

"Lapland! I knew there would be no good in getting involved with you!"

But Lapland still smiled.

"Oh~ isn't it a very new experience to be in jail in Syracuse?"

Seeing the people arguing, Lavinia immediately asked the guards to take them away.

"So, you still insist that you held off Texas, then detonated a bomb and killed the Karachi minister?"

"Well~, of course. Don't both the court and Bellone want to end the case as soon as possible? Is it different between me and Texas? Speaking of which, Miss Judge, you should execute me, I know it's bad for you It shouldn't be difficult if you work hard. Do you think my death will have a positive impact on the judicial system of Syracuse? I think it will be enough to be included in future textbooks!"

madman.

This was Lavinia's first impression of Lapland. However, this will not be the basis for her conviction.

"If you were, I would definitely fight for the death penalty for you. But...you are obviously not, but I will collect evidence of your crime and give you a fair verdict."

Lapland put on an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face.

"Oh, that's a fair verdict, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Miss Judge is still playing childish games that even the children of Syracuse have stopped playing at such an old age.

Well...you should go to Longmen or Colombia for development, after all, the rule of law is the only one there. "

These words undoubtedly touched the pain point in Lavinia's heart. She frowned and asked the guards to take Lapland to the cell.

When Lapland arrived in the cell, he threw himself on the bed. The texture was very hard, and the environment of the cell was inferior to that of the Longmen Guard Bureau.

After lying down for a while, she felt an extra weight on her stomach.

I raised my head slightly and saw that it was a long cat.

"Hey little guy, why are you here?"

"I came to pick up Texas, why did you crash into the courthouse? It's very dangerous to get into a car accident."

"You guys have such a good relationship..."

Lapland murmured in a low voice, then showed her signature smile and touched its head.

"Because I want to, little one."

"Want me to take you out?"

"No, I think my dear father will come to visit me soon. Well...he is probably in prison by now."

A few seconds after he finished speaking, Li Xia sensed that a group of people had arrived in the area in the formation of the boss - the younger brother and the younger brother.

The guards in the surrounding courts temporarily left at this time. Only one guard opened the door of the cell. Then, one was wearing a white suit and a black coat with a large circle of white fluff around the collar. He looked calm and confident. The man came to Lapland's cell.

Laplande's father, Alberto, came from the family's stronghold in the city to visit his well-behaved daughter.

He first noticed the black cat in Lapland's hand, but Li Xia had already calmed down, and he couldn't feel anything at all.

"Didn't you bring oranges today? My dear father."

Lapland spoke first, drawing his attention back.

"Lapland, give me an explanation."

"Huh? Isn't this the situation you want to see the most? The Bellone family is no longer stable, and then you help them when they are weak, control them, and finally dominate them, right?"

"But I should have taught you what to do in times like this."

"Well, really?" Lapland still had that playful smile on her face. She sat on the edge of the bed and touched the black cat in her arms.

"I forgot, after all, I've been away from home for a long time."

After hearing Lapland's answer, Alberto closed his eyes and took a breath.

"I can tolerate you not completing what I asked you to do, and you can also go against my wishes. You are my daughter after all. I can tolerate you like this, but you should not go beyond me and go to this family. I am the head of this family when I make the decision."

Alberto frowned as he spoke, and even Lixia could feel the anger he was building. It also knew why Alberto didn't bring the oranges Lapland said.

It will probably be crushed in your hands and your hands will be covered with orange juice.

"Seven years ago, you were expelled from the family because of this. Now you are doing the same thing again. You clearly know that this will offend me. You even know that this is the only way you can offend me... My daughter, tell me ,Why?"

Lapland placed Li Xia on the table aside, and then said to her father.

"Because, I want to see whether, in your eyes, I am more important or the position of the head of the family is more important. Other than that, I don't feel any fun at all, my father."

Just after Lapland said this, Alberto's anger had reached its peak.

He kicked his good daughter directly.

The huge force caused Lapland's body to hit the hard wall, and then fell to the ground.

Lapland, whose behavior could be described as crazy, actually seemed weak in front of his father.

And, after she fell to the ground, there was a crash, and snacks fell out from the pocket of her clothes.
