Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Chapter 172 I need to find a lawyer!

The interrogation room for suspicious persons, commonly known as the dungeon, is a place where suspicious persons are interrogated by the Thousand Rock Army. It is located in a secluded place and is closely guarded. Once you enter, it is very difficult to leave.

Generally speaking, only suspicious individuals who have committed extremely serious crimes are escorted to this place, so there are not many prisoners in the dungeon at other times. The truly heinous criminals have long been executed.

But today, the dungeon welcomed a new guest in the dead of night.

"If I told you I went to the General Affairs Department to open a treasure chest, would you believe me or not?"

Su Ming's eyes were solemn as he looked intently at the silent, mature woman leaning against the chair across the interrogation table. As a respectable person, he had to prove that he was not a burglar, nor a pervert in black stockings, but a glorious executor of the Winter Fools!

Ye Lan wanted to complain about something, but she was speechless and didn't know what to say. In all her years in the industry, she had seen many outrageous cases, but Su Ming was the first one she had ever encountered.

Do you think I believe it or not?

Ye Lan said coldly, "It's fortunate that Gan Yu wasn't working overtime, otherwise she would have been scared to death. If we really lost such a corporate slave, how would we explain it to the Emperor?"

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly, but in order to endure until the crucial moment when the Dragon King twisted his mouth, he decided to find a friendly solution for now.

"I want a lawyer!"

"Where would a lawyer come from in the middle of the night? You should just stay in jail."

Ye Lan frowned slightly. What was this person thinking? Where did he find a lawyer in the middle of the night?

“I have Mora, I have lots of Mora, I’ll pay a million dollars in legal fees!”

"..."

Ye Lan remained silent for a few more seconds; tonight she had used up almost a year's worth of silence.

five minutes later.

Yan Fei, her hair standing on end, was dragged into the dungeon by Ye Lan with one hand. She yawned with a dazed look in her eyes. Even immortals need to sleep, you know. Who drags someone out of bed at 2:30 in the morning and says they're here to do something?

What could be more important than sleeping? No way! We must refuse! We need to show Ye Lan that Yan Fei isn't without temper!

“This guy is offering you a million Mora for legal advice, if you just defend him,” Ye Lan said casually, arms crossed. “I introduced this job to you, so we’ll split the profits fifty-fifty.”

"What! Where is my client?! How could you treat him like this?! I condemn this forced interrogation; it violates Liyue's Humanitarian Law!"

Yan Fei appeared beside Su Ming in just one second, pointing at Ye Lan with a fierce and disdainful expression.

This has nothing to do with Mora. It's just that she, Yan Fei, is acting out of basic professional ethics as a law-abiding citizen, and she can't stand this kind of bullying of the weak!

That despicable Yelan actually wanted to split the spoils 50/50! No, I mean, she actually subjected innocent Liyue citizens to such inhumane torture! I'll stake the dignity of Liyue's laws on this! Today, I will definitely take my client out of the dungeon!

"Tell me what heinous things my client has done," Yan Fei said, hands on her hips, giving Su Ming a confident look that said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you. Say whatever you want, this guy won't do anything to you!"

"Miss Yanfei has a keen eye for talent! I only sneaked into the General Affairs Department at 2:30 in the morning!"

Su Ming felt as if he had found a kindred spirit, and instantly felt the warmth of coming home. He truly deserves to be the most reliable law master in Liyue!

Yan Fei blinked. Ye Lan hadn't told her it was such a serious matter either. "Well... it was just an accidental loss of direction. It's nothing serious. There must be some misunderstanding."

"I just went in to open a treasure chest, and then left. I didn't do anything outrageous, right?"

A bead of sweat trickled down Yan Fei's forehead. She wiped it silently and coughed lightly. "This is for the safety of the General Affairs Department. How can we put the treasure chest in such an obvious place? We need to strengthen security measures."

"Who knew that the treasure chest contained Miss Gan Yu's black stockings? I just used them, ah no, I mean admired them. I didn't mean anything by it, it was just an appreciation of beauty."

"..."

Yan Fei silently gazed at Su Ming, sighed softly, and turned to look at Ye Lan, "As expected, it's still the death penalty!"

Su Ming: "???"

“According to what Miss Yanfei said, you definitely won’t be able to leave the dungeon tonight,” Yelan shrugged, indicating that she couldn’t help. Fortunately, there was no one in the General Affairs Department at the time, otherwise, she might have been scared to death.

Yanfei firmly stood on the side of justice, believing that such an irreparable act of burglary should be punished by the laws of Liyue!

“My family owns the Northern Bank. I can pay three million morara for bail. Would you like to reconsider?”

Su Ming raised an eyebrow and revealed a Pantaroni-like smile, commonly known as the smile of a rich man.

"To be fair, Miss Gan Yu's black stockings would definitely get damp if kept in the treasure chest all this time. The client's actions mitigated the loss of property to the General Affairs Department in advance, serving as a warning and protecting Miss Gan Yu's property. She should be awarded a certificate of merit as a citizen of Liyue No. 3 to encourage her, and this kind of behavior should be encouraged."

Yanfei appeared beside Su Ming as if by teleportation, standing on the highest point of Liyue's laws to morally condemn Yelan, "Why don't you release my client without charge? If doing good deeds can lead to imprisonment, how can we promote the spirit of helping others in Liyue?"

Ye Lan watched the wonderful performance of Miss Yan Fei, who was worthy of joining the Yunhan Society, with a blank expression. It was a real pity that such a perfect solo performance had no audience.

Ningguang meant not to alert the enemy, and besides, this guy really only stole a black stocking, which wasn't a serious crime. Moreover, she could get a considerable amount of Mora as funds for future dungeon repairs.

Ye Lan quickly made her decision, and the blue silk thread wrapped around her fingertips slowly dissipated. "Miss Yan Fei is absolutely right. Then please pay Mora in full first."

"Here, this Mora check is from Tianquan Money Shop, take it for three million."

Su Ming shrugged, seemingly unconcerned. After all, it was easy for him to earn it back after spending it. Even if it hurt, it should be Xiao Pan who was upset. It was just a pity that Pantarone's information about Liyue was delayed. By the time that time came, the gap would have already been filled.

After confirming, Ye Lan nodded slightly, feeling somewhat surprised that someone actually carried such a large sum of money.

Yan Fei's eyes brightened upon seeing this, and the resentment she felt from being dragged out of her warm bed in the middle of the night had mostly dissipated.
