Chapter 2 - Shake The Courtroom

Firstly, let's get one thing straight. I'm not gonna lie about anything to you guys.

I'm gonna be honest to the best I can. That is the characteristic of Shawn Shaw. Let's hear the prosecutor for now.

"The purpose of the government and justice system is to protect the society. We don't serve ourselves but the people. Today I stand here to swear one thing. That man sitting there is not innocent." Madan prosecutor pointed at me as she said this.

Oh, I haven't introduced her to you have I? That woman's name is Marcia Dewey. She's a fierce one. Maybe one of the reasons they gave her my case.

"Shawn Shaw is non human. His behaviour towards society is simply despicable, nothing short of a scum. Apologies for the crude language." She said this while showing respect to the judge but disgust towards me.

"I will now present evidence of Shawn Shaw being spotted in numerous killing sites. He is not just seen there, but he was also spotted killing the said victims." Marcia took a flash drive which she handed to be displayed.

"Some of the pictures are disturbing. The first image here shows Shawn Shaw leaving the mansion by jumping over a fence. This was the fence of the infamous business tycoons who was killed on the day shown on the image. He was also killed around this time."

"The second image is still from the same place. It shows Mr Shaw blocking the door of Mr Jin. Not only that, he also pushed him back inside. I woul like to add Mr Jin was found dead in there. For what he used, it was poison. The same poison found in Mr Shaw's hideout."

"This same poison was used to kill many others. The Chancellor whome I won't name. Mr Jin, and several other businessmen and politicians." Marcia took a break.

She kept pressing the remote to show me in different places of long dead people.

Long story short, I remember all those places. And yes I killed all those people, at least most of them.

"Does the defence have anything to say?" The judge asked me.

Respectfully, I have to stand up. It's only manners in this place.

"The poison found in my hideout is mine. Yes it was used to kill Mr Jin. But I didn't kill the stupid corrupt Chancellor. God knows I wished I did. I found him dead. But I did blow up his estate after a large crowd of his allies walked into it his home." As I said this, I could hear gasps of disbelief.

Some were even cursing at me. Some calling me a monster with low voices.

"I don't have a reason to do this anyway. So lemme drop it all. Judge Fraisler, your brother was the one who ordered that hit. The death of the Chancellor i mean." Look at that.

Fraisler's eyes are showing surprise. And traces of suppressed anger. I guess he thought luck was always on his side.

"Do you have any evidence to support your claims?" Fraisler said. I could see his gaze grow sharper.

"Of course I do. Can I borrow a device with Internet? That should help." I requested and a laptop was brought before me.

I logged in with my email. Then turned the laptop back to the one who gave it to me.

"Please check mail number 90. Play the first audio." I said with a smile to the man.

He connected the laptop and played the recording.

"I heard you never fail to deliver if an oder is made. I went out of my way to have this meeting with you. I hope you're open to my request." A masculine voice spoke from the speaker.

"Sure thing buddy. I'll kill anyone for ya. Just give me your target. Also prices are different. Take a look at this." Shaw responded to the man and th sound of paper rustle was heard.

"What is this? Is this a menu?" The other man said.

"Just thought to let you know. I'm out now, be sure to do your part. Here's the payment line." Shaw said and the sound of the car door opening and closing followed. The recording was over.

"Objection your honour. This doesn't prove he isn't guilty. It just shows he has allies. Also, we can't certainly say the man he is speaking to is your brother, as he claims." Marcia jumped from her seat.

"You prosecutors are more foolish that I thought. But then again, who would want to be of bad term with a judge." I simply had to say this. It's not like I'm lying anyway.

"Hey... you there!Play the next recording." I said to the man who was playing the recording.

"I just wanted to check. Have you left already?" The first voice was not of someone far. It was judge Fraisler himself.

"Of course. But don't worry, we'll be back by tomorrow evening. I just need to get the deal so I could beging the project." The second voice was clearly know as well. This was Fraisler's brother.

"I believe that was you and your brother's conversation last night sir. Or, am I wrong?" I asked the judge.

The man was displeased amd angry this time. He covered his face to calm himself. The murmures in court began again.

This time they were attacking both me and Fraisler. The man took his gavel and hit for silence. The voice subsided like before.

"Shawn Shaw, you are a dangerous man. But this puts you in even more trouble. Invasion of privacy will be added on your charges." Fraisler said to me.

"That's very cute. But your brother is super fucked, believe me when I yell you. Anyway, let me reveal the second part, shall I? I call this, the masterpiece and demise of corruptable Jin."

The entire courtroom fell silent as everyone turned their attention to me. Well, it's not like there's anything I could do about it anyway.
