Genshin Impact: Daily Life with Two Fufu
Chapter 40 Witness Falls at Dawn
The members of the Shadow Chasing Court Investigation Team walked onto the stage, bowed deeply to Funina, and said:
"A few days ago, we heard from the people of Fontaine that Melusin had killed someone in Erinace. After we got the news, we quickly organized people to come to Erinace. At first we didn't believe it, but we found Carolee holding a knife and the victim who had just fallen to the ground."
The audience was surprisingly quiet. They had only heard rumors but never heard any official news.
"We quickly cordoned off the scene, and then Watling led the special training team to take Carolee away. According to our investigation, Carolee was protected in the special training team center before she committed suicide. We also started an investigation after cordoning off the scene. After several days, we found out that the deceased had repeatedly thrown stones at Carolee and verbally insulted her before she died. And according to the words of the first investigator and the investigation among the public, all the information pointed to Carolee's deliberate murder in this case."
Hearing this, the people here began to waver. Watling's words were credible, but the news given by the Shadow Court was also consistent with the case. Now they felt that something big might happen in this Watling trial.
"After Watling took Carolee to the special training center, he put her in prison for protection. We also investigated during this period, but did not get any news. However, Carolee committed suicide the day before yesterday, and Watling disappeared in the afternoon of the day Carolee committed suicide. The gathered dignitaries found her dead yesterday morning, and Watling happened to appear at the place where the dignitaries died."
After saying this, the Shadow Chaser investigator turned and looked at Villette.
"Then, Lord Villette, these are all the events we have investigated."
Then he bowed deeply and left the stage
The crowd in the audience started arguing again.
"Ju Zhuyingting said that Watling was deliberately murdering this time."
"But Watling has no hatred with the powerful people. This shouldn't be the case."
"Haven't you heard? Watling went to assassinate the dignitaries only after Carolee committed suicide."
"So what you mean is?"
“I don’t think this matter is as simple as it seems.”
...............
The audience started arguing, and Villette tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Silence!"
The crowd gradually calmed down, but unlike in the past, there were still many people whispering. However, they did not affect the trial, so Villette simply ignored them.
"So, Mr. Watling, do you have anything to say about the Shadow Chaser Court's investigation?"
Watling, who was standing on the stage, just laughed coldly and said
"There is nothing to say. Since you have already investigated it clearly, what else do you want me to do? Are you going to publicly judge your so-called investigation? Or are you going to prove that I was responsible for the death of the powerful man on purpose?"
Villette ignored Vautrin's words. He might talk to him in private, but at the Opiecle Opera House, before the cardinal was ordered to rule, he was the highest judge of Fontainebleau, so he had to deal with it according to the law.
"Since Mr. Watling has no words to object, I pronounce...
"and many more"
Just as Navillatte was about to convict Watling of a crime, Luo Xiao interrupted him with a word. Then, in front of the surprised gazes of Funina and Navillatte, he jumped down from the stage, walked to Watling and said,
"I'm willing to be Watling's defense attorney!"
This statement shocked everyone present. Why would anyone still argue about something that was already set in stone?
The moment Luo Xiao jumped down, Funina also walked to the fence and stared at Luo Xiao.
[What is he going to do! Why is he going to be Watling's defense attorney? ]
Watlin was not surprised to see Luo Xiao coming, but felt that it was planned.
Luo Xiao's sudden appearance surprised Navilette, but in just a moment, Navilette adjusted himself and said:
"So, Mr. Luo Xiao, do you have anything to say?"
Luo Xiao ignored Villette's speech, but walked straight to the front of the crowd, took out a stone from his clothes, and began to speak.
"Everyone should know my identity. This stone was developed by me and a fairy from Liyue. It can record audio, but you may not believe it. So I would like to invite an audience member to come on stage to demonstrate it."
Luo Xiao looked at the crowd and selected a man dressed in gorgeous clothes. If nothing unexpected happened, this man was a noble who was not involved in this incident.
Luo Xiao used his immortal power to move the stone, placed it in front of the noble, and said
"Okay, you can say anything you want."
The nobleman said something half-believingly, then nodded to confirm. Seeing this, Luo Xiao took the stone back from the nobleman, lifted it up, and used his immortal power to push it again.
The words that the man had just said were played back word for word from the stone.
The people in the audience were very surprised to see this. They had never seen such a recording stone before, let alone something that could record a sentence.
After Luo Xiao asked the dignitary to leave the stage, he continued
"Of course, there is no need to worry about the words in these stones being forged. Every stone in my hand contains a contract with Liyue. Someone among you knows better than me what the consequences of deceiving you will be."
This sentence is for the businessmen and the dignitaries.
As the most authoritative contract, the Liyue Contract can be seen all over the world. If the contractor violates the contract, the consequences are obvious.
Everyone nodded silently when they heard this. They also knew about the contract, but they were very curious now. What did this have to do with Watling's defense of Watling?
Seeing that people's curiosity had reached its peak, Luo Xiao did not keep them in suspense and continued
"Coincidentally, when I went to Momang Palace to report a few days ago, I accidentally recorded some interesting things."
Then Luo Xiao took out another stone from his pocket, used his immortal power to activate it, and started playing
[Are you sure you want to do this...]
After a long time, the words in the recording stone were played out, and the amount of information in it was enough to shake the entire trial.
The audience started discussing again
"According to what this recording stone says, all of this is a plan by the powerful to force Villette to give up some of his power."
"Then what Watling said is almost entirely true."
"The investigation of the Shadow Chaser Court..."
Villette began to ponder for a rare moment. If Luo Xiao had this thing, why didn't he take it out in advance? What was his purpose in doing so...
When Luo Xiao first took out the recording stone, Funina was very curious. She had never seen these things before. Everyone has the curiosity about new things.
But after the recording stone began to play the conversations of the dignitaries, Furninna's expression began to become shocked.
[Those powerful people actually did this! They really have good reasons, without a single flaw. Even if there is enough evidence, it is impossible to sentence all of them...]
Seeing that Villette began to ponder, Luo Xiao knew that his goal had been achieved, and then continued
"Well, Lord Villette, does this evidence give Watling a perfect reason to do this?"
