"But presumably there was some corroborating evidence. How do criminal investigations work here, exactly -"

"There may have been some incriminating emails or something. I'd need to request a writeup. The police gather witness reports and hard evidence and then the suspect is interviewed by a judge who sentences them."

"It sounds like the judge is the person I should bother with my questions, then."

"I can get a writeup forwarded to you."

"I might just drop by, while I'm here!"

"Oh, the judges work in a different building."

"Which one?" Not that courteous mild dissuasion isn't an answer in itself.

"It's called the Hexagon but I don't recall the address."

"Thank you for resolving that so quickly."

"Of course!"

He should go talk to the judge. Just out of diligence. He isn't always right.

He messages Tyelcormo first, though.

pretty sure they just murdered an innocent woman in the hopes it'd get us to drop the cheating on the terms.

well this place is fucking something. why are you telling me?

I want all the ships we have. I don't want to wait to send for them. Can you ask Huan?

You leave their homosexuals the fuck alone, okay? They're happy and they're not bugging anyone. And some of 'em are hot.

Fine.

He finds the Hexagon. 

It has judges in it. They aren't really set up to accommodate visitors.

He apologizes for the inconvenience he just wants to ask about this one trial. And how many people they execute each season, it was hard to find that information online for some reason.

In this city?

Nationwide.

Maybe three thousand ish?

"Hard to keep exact numbers?"

"Oh, I'd need to call the other offices for their data, I'm just extrapolating. We're really not set up for visitors here I don't have an infosheet."

"Of course. As soon as someone finds those case notes I'll be on my way."

"I don't have them."

"I think you deliberately lied to us and then murdered an innocent person to cover for it."
