Chapter 79: A Cold Case?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As someone of his own age, Weiss looked at Lorne’s young face. He could not bring himself to call him a teacher. After all, the few teachers who had taught him morality were all famous people in the world. They were at least in their thirties or forties.
However, this person in front of him was probably not even twenty, yet he had to call him teacher?
Lorne seemed to have seen through Weiss’s thoughts. He quietly said to Kyle, “Old friend, don’t make things difficult for this kid of yours.
“It’s fine if he doesn’t call me teacher. It’ll be the same as me calling you uncle.
“After all, I see you as my brother, and we are considered equals. Your son can call me uncle. I have no problem with that at all.”
Weiss’s eyes instantly turned dazed, and he looked at Lorne in a shock.
He did not want to call him his teacher, but now he was asking him to call him uncle?
According to the situation, he seemed to be showing off.
Looking at Lorne’s kind smile, Weiss could not help but shiver.
Then, he hurriedly bowed to Lorne.
“Good day, teacher!”
Lorne quickly helped Weiss up.
“Hey, don’t be like this. Don’t be like this. We’re all on the same side. There’s no need for such etiquette.”
The corner of Weiss’s mouth twitched twice.
‘Wow, he’s really strong.’
No wonder father was so fond of this person. He really did have a few plays up his sleeve. As the First Prince, he had a lot of things to learn.
After accepting his students and performing his apprenticeship ceremony, Lorne beckoned Kyle and Weiss to sit down in their seats with ease.
“Old friend, clean up by yourself first. I’ll go to the back and prepare a few dishes to celebrate being a teacher today!”
With a smile on his face, Kyle wiped the table he was sitting on very naturally.
As the King of Lolan, he was usually surrounded by countless humans, enjoying delicacies of all kinds and delicacies. At this moment, he was wiping the tables and tidying up the table in this tavern. He even looked very natural and did not care about it at all.
Weiss could not help but feel shocked.
What kind of charm did his teacher have?
Or did he use some sorcery to make his father the King of Lolan praise him so much? So much so that he even completely put down his own ego.
At this moment, Weiss suddenly saw the book that Lorne had been reading on the table.
The Laws of Lolan.
Weiss was immediately interested. The owner of this tavern was actually studying the laws of the Lolan Empire.
After flipping through it, he confirmed that this was the original law book of Lolan, which should have been bought from a nearby library.
Weiss could not help but agree that he did have some knowledge, but he was still not sure if it was as deep as the deep blue sea described by his father.
Soon, Lorne brought out a few dishes from the kitchen and placed them on the table very neatly.
Weiss quickly put the book back to its original position carefully and quickly ran to sit across from his father.
Just as he picked up a bite, Weiss’s eyes immediately lit up.
D*mn, it was delicious. It was not inferior to what he had eaten in the palace, it was even better! It was a completely different style and taste from what he was used to eating.
It seemed that this cheap master of his was really a top chef.
Kyle looked at his son, who was praising him as he ate. He even looked like he was wolfing down the food. He could not help but feel proud in his heart.
As expected, this kid was inexperienced. Compared to him, Kyle, he was still far from being calm. Unfortunately, Kyle seemed to have forgotten that when he first came into contact with Lorne, he knew that his actions were not much different from Weiss.
Soon, Lorne carried a small jar of wine and sat on the other side.
Kyle immediately enjoyed the wine and poured a full cup for the three people present.
The three of them drank and ate, chatting as they talked. However, it was mostly Kyle and Lorne who were chatting.
After three rounds of drinking, it was Kyle who took the initiative to point at the book on the table not far away.
He said with some doubt, “Brother, why did you start studying The law of Lolan?”
When Weiss was flipping through it just now, Kyle also saw it clearly. He could not help but ask now. Lorne spread his hands helplessly.
“What else can I do? It’s just that there’s nothing to do, so I went to the library to buy a volume. When I’m free, I’ll flip through it. It can be considered as leisure reading.”
Kyle and Weiss were immediately speechless.
‘D*mn, your way of fun is really different from others.
‘While others find fun and drink wine, you find fun through studying the Lolan Laws…
‘What a hardcore man. He treats learning as fun and as a way to relieve stress and relax.’
‘Or is he just showing off?’
Weiss suddenly began to believe in this tavern owner’s knowledge. However, suddenly, an idea flashed through the prince’s mind. Then, he took the initiative to toast to Lorn.
“Teacher, dare I ask, how much do you know about the Lolan’s Law?”
Lorne immediately put on a very humble expression.
“Ah, it’s not worth asking, just a little. I barely know a little more than the head of the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Law.”
“…”
“…”
The Ministry of Justice and the Department of Law were departments that specialized in managing the criminal law in the palace. Their interpretation of the law could be said to be first-class.
In terms of professionalism, Kyle and Rosen probably could not be compared to them. They knew a little more than their competent officials, even if this law book had already been rummaged through.
However, Kyle was already familiar with this routine. Other than being a little speechless, he was not particularly surprised. On the contrary, after Weiss’s heart twitched for a while, he said tentatively, “Let’s put it to the test shall we? I know someone who is an official in the Ministry of Justice.
“He told me last time that there is an unsolved case in the Ministry of Justice. Because the officials of the various departments can not agree on the same opinion, they are unable to determine what kind of punishment should be handed down.
“Therefore, this case has been delayed for half a year and is still in the archives. I wonder if you have any way to solve this case?”
Lorne’s interest was immediately piqued.
“Tell me about it.”
Weiss nodded and gestured as he said, “This case is called the case of the son killing the stepmother.
“The murderer of this case is called Liu Tong, and he is from Malo City in the Eastern region of the river.
“When Liu Tong was young, his birth mother died early. His father had another wife, who was Liu Tong’s stepmother.
“However, the woman who had a second wife had a lover outside and sympathized with her husband, so she secretly killed Liu Tong’s father.
“When Liu Tong was young, he naturally didn’t know anything. However, when he grew up, he accidentally found out the truth, so in his anger, he directly killed his stepmother.
“However, no one could come up with a unified decision on how Liu Tong should be sentenced, from the neighboring cities to the law department and the law department of Lolan City…”
