Chapter 127 Dissolve Again
On that day, Liu Bai was arrested by the Special Patrol Team in order to let his men leave first. This incident moved the elite members of the Fatui at that time so much that they vowed to find out the mastermind behind the incident and clear the executive officer's name!
Therefore, they have been working very hard these days to investigate the case of Les Roches trafficking, even more actively than the Fontaine guards. Thanks to the Fatui's all-pervasive intelligence network, they have indeed found out a lot of information that the Fontaine officials have never investigated.
The most important thing is that after Nashida joined, the elite members of the Fatui directly broke the conventional investigation methods. Under Nashida's guidance, they simply followed the suspected person in stealth and quickly obtained a lot of clues.
Most of these people are ordinary people who do not have the divine eye, and no matter how careful they are, they cannot discover the invisible debt handlers.
The deputy of the president of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce was also caught in this way.
"..."
Sitting in the audience, the man named Marcelle swallowed and reached into his pocket inconspicuously.
In his pocket is a remote control made from a self-regulatory mechanism control device. Once activated, it can detonate a small device hidden on someone else's body and release certain liquids.
Even if the other party was his most capable deputy, he had already made the final preparation.
"Uncle Marcelle... that seems to be a member of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce?"
The woman named Navia, who was sitting next to Marcelle, couldn't help but speak.
"Ahem, yes, I don't know what this matter has to do with him. Did I look at the wrong person?"
Marcelle coughed lightly and nodded as she said this, looking completely unaware.
"Kordai, as a witness called by the defense, do you have anything to say?"
After checking the identity information of the witness, Villette then asked him.
"I, I know... I asked someone to deliver the box to Northland Bank that day..."
The man named Cordai looked up at Nashida in the dock, then looked back in the direction of the audience, and then explained in a trembling voice.
"Please tell me in detail what happened."
What Cordet said had not yet appeared as evidence in the defendant's testimony, so Villette asked Cordet to explain in detail.
Corday had no choice but to nod his head and explain that he had hired someone on the roadside to help him deliver the box to the Northland Bank.
He also honestly revealed the contents of the box without hiding anything. It contained a few bottles of Lex and an envelope inviting the Fatui executive to cooperate.
"Coincidentally, my client is an executive officer who is compassionate, empathetic, hates evil and has a strong sense of justice. So he gathered the members of the Fatui and temporarily formed a drug enforcement team to rush to the shore north of Fontaine."
"What happened next is what was just shown in the video and described by the prosecutor."
Nashida continued to add after Kordai finished speaking, explaining why Liu Bai appeared there.
Although her explanation was hard for many viewers to believe, the Fatui would do good things...
"Well, can the defendant please show us the letter?"
Navillaette nodded slightly and looked at Nashida and spoke.
"can."
Nashida nodded slightly, then asked someone to bring out the letter and handed it to Navilette.
"…I see. Although the ink has disappeared, you can still see the indentation left by the writing. This is indeed a common trick used in frame-ups."
With Villette's eyesight, even if the ink had disappeared, he could still clearly confirm the original content through the indentation, and then nodded slightly and spoke.
After hearing Villette confirm the authenticity of the letter, the audience realized that this might really be a frame-up.
If the decree ruled that the cardinal was not suspended, then at this point its scales would certainly tip towards the defendant's dock, indicating his innocence.
"Then, Corday, please tell me who is behind you."
Having the guards protect the letter in his hand as evidence, Villette continued to speak to Cordet.
What is more important for this trial now is who is the mastermind behind the incident.
"I, I can't tell you... I'll die if I tell you..."
Cordai covered his head in horror and shook his head quickly.
"Tell me quickly. The security team will naturally protect your safety. What are you afraid of?"
In the VIP seats, Furninna, who had been watching secretly for a long time, couldn't help but urge Cordai to hurry up.
After confirming that Liu Bai was not the one who sold Le Si, she finally had the courage to speak.
She didn't want to judge him again...
“No, no, Lady Furninda, inside my body… ah?!”
Corde shook his head and tried to explain but suddenly let out a scream.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, he dissolved into a pool of water that fell on the stage, startling the two security team members behind him.
“Dissolve, dissolve, dissolve, dissolve?!!”
"How is it possible... Why did a living person turn into water?!"
"Wait, wait, do you still remember the prophecy... All the people of Fontaine will eventually dissolve in water..."
This scene on the stage caused a commotion. Many audience members stood up with their eyes wide open, some discussed in panic, and someone even mentioned a prophecy that had been circulating in Fontaine for a long time.
[Everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god crying on his throne.]
Over the past two decades, the continued rise in the water level of Fontaine seems to be verifying this prophecy.
"Dissolved... Uncle Marcelle, did you see that? He actually...dissolved?"
In the audience, Navia, who was dressed as a noble lady, said with some shock.
"This... is indeed a bit scary. I'm old and my heart can't take it..."
Marcelle also looked shocked, then covered her heart with one hand as if she was frightened.
"Then I'll let Myles and the others take Uncle Marcelle and you go and rest first. I want to see the results later."
Navia really wanted to know what happened next, so she had to order her followers to take him to rest first.
"no, I'm fine……"
Marcelle quickly shook her head and refused. If she left, she wouldn't know what would happen next and how could she feel at ease?
Then he continued to sit in the audience, but he put one hand on his heart and closed his eyes to rest, which made Navia a little worried.
By this time, Villette had already responded.
"Guards, block the opera house and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."
That Villette gave instructions to the guard team.
Being able to know the situation here first and silence Cordai before he could speak, Villette could judge that the other party was most likely at the scene.
"I've always heard that women are made of water, but it turns out that men are also made of water!"
In the dock, Liu Bai saw dissolution occur for the second time and made this comment after thinking for a while.
The trial had little to do with him now, and he didn't even have a chance to speak.
Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to go to jail...
