A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

After glancing over at Shen Chao, the bee family insects looked away.

"Big brother is really amazing," Lu Jianan said with satisfaction.

What are you looking at? A bunch of criminals! Look again and we'll make you look like dirt.

Both sides' lawyers took their places.

"Big brother, why don't we have a lawyer?" Lu Jianan looked left and right. It seemed that they didn't have a lawyer with them. He then went to rummage through Bi Shen.

"Carbin has a lawyer's license," Bishon said.

The adjutant immediately took the lawyer's seat.

It's not hard work, it's just a tough life.

The dignified head of the household and his adjutant are both talented and skilled. Just put down the documents, put on his glasses, and he's a professional!

......

The trial has officially begun.

Justice Neal's bronze gavel struck the base with a loud "thud".

"Please have the plaintiff make their opening statement."

The adjutant stated the case: "Your Honorable Court, today we accuse the Beauty Bee family of colluding with space pirates, buying and selling male beetles, illegal detention, human experimentation, and, after the incident was exposed, premeditatedly murdering the commander of our Ninth Legion of the Lyrnia Mantis Army, the head of the Mantis family, Bishenmantis."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hissing sound came from the jury as they gasped in shock.

Wow, what I said before was just about buying and selling male insects, how come so many other crimes have been brought up later? If these crimes are proven, the consequences will be severe.

I didn't think much of it before, because as far as the bee family is concerned with buying and selling male bees, at worst they'll just put forward a scapegoat and then impose a fine and compensation.

Now these charges are different; the air seems to suddenly become scorching hot.

The mantis family was aiming to wipe out the bee family.

When a jury enters to hear a case, they are not informed in advance what the case is.

Otherwise, ugh, with such a tricky case, I should have known better than to come.

Vespa Bicara and Bishenmantis, the head of the Bee family and the head of the Mantis family, one a veteran madman, the other a king of equal stature, both are old money families with thousands of years of history. Hiss, which one of them is easy to mess with?

Lu Jianan, as a witness, and the plaintiff spoke first.

He rose from the plaintiff's seat and walked toward the witness stand.

Their steps were light and quick, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere in the courtroom.

Hehe, in this kind of law enforcement agency, anyone who has a guilty conscience is guilty.

We law-abiding citizens only feel safe, so safe. Thank you to the court, thank you to the law enforcement agencies, thank you to the police officers. It feels like coming home!

The clerk handed him a law code, and Lu Jianan placed his right hand on it.

"You swear that everything you've said is true and there's absolutely no falsehood?"

"I swear," Lu Jianan said loudly.

"Mr. Lu Jianan, please describe to the court how you were abducted."

Lu Jianan stood in the witness stand. A bailiff helped him put the microphone on his collar. Lu Jianan adjusted himself, stood properly, and honestly began to speak: "Because I didn't know how many days I had been held captive by space pirates, I can't confirm the exact date. That day, I was exploring a planet on the southern border when I was suddenly kidnapped by a group of half-insect-like space pirates. When I woke up, I was already on a space pirate ship, locked in a cage."

"Can you recognize the person who kidnapped you?"

"Yes, the leader was a grayish-white moth. I met him later; he's Orion, the top-ranked pirate leader on the wanted list now." Lu Jianan tilted her head. "They didn't mistreat me like the pirates on TV. Instead, they gave me decent food and never let me get hurt. It's like they were waiting for someone."

"What happened next?"

"Three days later, Orion was communicating with a chat window marked with a honeycomb pattern in front of me." Lu Jianan's eyes lit up. "I pretended to be terrified and heard them talking. I couldn't hear the moths talking, but I could hear the bees on the other side. However, I couldn't understand Lyrnia, so I forced myself to memorize all the sounds the bees on the other side made."

A sudden commotion arose in the defendant's dock.

The defense lawyer for the Bee Family immediately raised his hand: "Objection! The witness claims to have heard the conversation, but cannot prove the speaker's identity."

Justice Neil looked at Lu Jianan, "Can the witness confirm the speaker's identity?"

Lu Jianan performed his "Super Brain" routine again, repeating that strange tone once more.

The number of mining ships is negotiable; the key point is the last one: permanent access to the Cygnus stargate.

Cygnus is the ancestral home of the Cygnus bee family, and the Cygnus stargate has always been controlled by them, hence its other name, the Hive Stargate.

Who could grant space pirates this kind of access?

If the space pirates' ships could freely enter and exit the Hive Gate, no dog would believe the Bee Family was unaware of it.

Everyone in the courtroom understood.

No one doubted that Lu Jianan was lying; he even imitated the distinctive, vibrating, aristocratic accent of the Bee family perfectly.

As everyone knows, humans and Zerg only recently established diplomatic relations, so they haven't had time to learn each other's languages ​​yet, and all communication relies on translators.

If he hadn't actually heard it, he probably hadn't met the head of the Bee Clan before and couldn't have reproduced that tone of voice.

"I saw their communication patterns while I was in custody, and I drew them out and handed them over to the military the moment I was rescued," Lu Jianan continued.

He turned to look at his adjutant brother.

The adjutant immediately opened a document and turned on the projector: "This is a drawing my client made from memory."

A simple tissue was displayed on the projector.

It's really rudimentary, it looks like something just grabbed from the table. Because it's so soft, the drawing is crooked and messy.

However, the tissue paper was decorated with a complex geometric pattern, with an abstract bee at the center surrounded by a honeycomb pattern made up of dense hexagons.

Upon seeing this image, the bees in the dock all froze.

The lawyer for the Bee Family raised his hand again and stood up: "Objection! This so-called drawing based on memory has no scientific basis and may be influenced by manipulation or—"

"Objection overruled," Judge Neil interrupted him. "The jury has the right to assess the credibility of all evidence. Attorney for the defendant, please maintain order in the courtroom. Please continue, Mr. Lu Jianan."

Lu Jianan nodded.

The clerk asked again, "Mr. Lu Jianan, how long have you been detained?"

"I don't know," Lu Jianan replied. "After I was captured, all my electronic devices were lost, and I couldn't tell time. I was kept in the basement of the space pirate's ship for maybe three or four days. I overheard their communications, and I felt like I had been bought and sold. Then a space pirate tried to attack me, and I was terrified. I was given a sedative, and I don't remember anything after that. When I woke up, the military had already rescued me."

"Okay, Mr. Lu Jianan, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"there is none left."

"Okay, please return to the plaintiff's seat."

Lu Jianan returned to the plaintiff's seat and sat down. Feeling that she had performed very well, she happily tugged at Brother Shen's arm again.

The mantis-like guy looked disgusted.

The judge struck the gavel again: "Next, the second plaintiff, Chief Justice Bishin, will present the facts of the case."

Bishen stood up and took his place in the witness stand.

Bishen's main charges against the "Beauty Bee" were interference with law enforcement and premeditated murder. Since military aircraft carry black boxes, his evidence was very strong. He turned to the judge and said, "Judge Neil, I request to see the military's operational records."
