"But should I call you Vasher or Marcellus?"
After Linni revealed his identity, the people who were just surprised were now sitting in their seats, cheering with excitement.
After all, Linni was a very famous person, but no one expected that he would actually impersonate Marcel.
“Mr. Linnie, why did you impersonate Marcellus?” At this moment, Navelette suddenly challenged him, looking at Linnie very seriously and saying, “Did you just give false testimony?”
Following Navelette's words, everyone else turned their attention to Linni. Was everything he had just said a lie?
If what he just said is all false, then this is going to be interesting. Giving false testimony in court is no small matter.
“No, Mr. Na Villette.” Linni looked at Na Villette and said very seriously, “Everything I have said is true. We Fools have enough evidence to prove what Marcellus did.”
"Just as Father said, he committed all these crimes."
"Mr. Marcellor, do you admit to these things? Of course~ It's fine if you don't admit it, I have a lot of evidence against you, so there's no use in you trying to deny it."
Linni looked at Marcel with a very indifferent expression; he had no mercy on this heinous criminal.
The things he did deserve to die a thousand times over!
"Heh heh heh, now that things have come to this, I'm not going to pretend anymore." Facing everyone's gaze, Marcellus sneered a few times and said, "I did it, so what?"
"Do you think I would argue? No! I will not argue at all! Because I did these things, and I know how capable you Fools are."
“I had heard of your reputation by the time winter was approaching, and I will not take any chances.”
When Marcel confessed, everyone gasped and began discussing again why he had committed such a heinous crime.
Could it really be Vinier?
"Silence! Silence!!!"
Navelette was somewhat helpless. He looked at the guards and said, "Let Mr. Marcellus go to the dock."
“Other questions are being asked, and Mr. Linnie, regarding your impersonation of Mr. Marcellus, I will punish you afterwards.”
Linni nodded slightly, then turned and left the judge's bench.
Marcel, on the other hand, was forcibly brought to the dock.
Marcel cooperated fully throughout, because he knew very well that he had been exposed and that if he didn't cooperate, he would suffer physical pain.
To avoid being beaten, Marcel cooperated readily. When he arrived at the judge's bench, he looked up at Su Hao, Funina, and Nasita above him.
"…………"
Marcel looked at the three gods, took a deep breath, and wanted to say something.
"Alright, Marcellus, I have something to ask you."
At that moment, Arecino's voice came, causing Marcel to involuntarily turn his gaze to her.
Arecino looked at Marcellus and said calmly, "Why did you frame D'Artagnan? What reason did you have to do this?"
Arecino remained calm, though she was quite curious about Marcellus's purpose in doing so.
Judging from the current investigation by the Fools, the other party has been extremely cautious throughout his life. Even with the name Vasher, if the Fools' influence in Winter hadn't been so great, investigating him would have been quite difficult.
It's truly incomprehensible that someone as cautious as him would do something so audacious.
“Frame D'Artagnan? No, no, no, I didn’t mean to frame him.” Marcel shook his head slightly. He looked at Arecino in front of him, swallowed, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
Arecino's aura is so powerful that very few people can be looked at or spoken to calmly by her.
Marcel felt the same way, but for the sake of his lover, he stared at Arecino earnestly and said, "I just wanted to incite conflict between Zhidong and Fontaine so that Su Hao would step in to save people."
“He said he could save people who were dissolved by water. I didn’t trust him, so I wanted to test it out.”
P.S.: "I'm exhausted after a few days of working on Chinese animation!!! Sorry~ I'll try my best to update from tomorrow!!!!"
Chapter 584 Successful Trial
Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide. Marcel looked calmly at Arecino and said, "Because I know what grand plan the Fools are up to."
"So many Fools have entered Fontaine, they must be planning something, although I don't know what they're planning."
"These things had nothing to do with me..."
At this point, Marcel fell silent. He looked at Su Hao and said sincerely, "But your news made me realize that there is still hope after a person is dissolved by water."
"And according to rumors, you are a good person. Someone like you... would definitely not let Dadalia be framed, so I did this to see how you actually save people."
"Just as the great magician Linni said, I did this for Vinier, who was accidentally dissolved by the water of the Primordial Sea of the Dead."
"I cannot be sure if you have the ability to revive people who have been dissolved by water, so this is the only option I can take."
Marcel was sincere, but his sincerity made countless people frown.
For some reason, the way he said those words gave people a strange sense of awkwardness.
It was as if he took it for granted that he did this.
"Why didn't you come to me?" Su Hao asked. In court, he was supposed to be able to whisper like the audience, but not speak directly.
But who could resist that? Su Hao really couldn't understand why Marcel didn't just come to him directly.
Under normal circumstances, if Marcel comes to Su Hao and explains his purpose, Su Hao will generally help him, even if he knows about the despicable things Marcel has done.
Su Hao will not hold a grudge against Vinier, but will first revive Vinier, and then let Marcellus face trial.
But right now, Su Hao has absolutely no intention of reviving Vinier. After all, no matter what, Vinier is innocent, and the current situation is... hard to accept.
“Because I know your abilities.” Marcellus looked at Su Hao and said very seriously, “You are the next Thor, and I have heard about your legendary experiences. I don’t think I can hide anything from you.”
"So I had no other choice but to resort to this tactic, and I hope you can forgive me."
Su Hao shook his head slightly, staring at Marcel calmly and said, "What do you mean I forgive you? You should be forgiven by the victims, not me."
After saying that, Su Hao didn't say anything more.
It was at this moment that Villette spoke up in a very cooperative manner: "Mr. Su Hao, Mr. Marcell, it is forbidden for non-accusers to communicate with the judge in court."
Marcel wanted to say something more, but seeing that Su Hao didn't intend to continue the conversation, he still spoke up: "Please, Lord Su Hao, my wish is to revive Vinier, I have no other desires."
"Even if you asked me to die, I wouldn't care at all!!!!"
Marcel is so sincere that it seems as if he would choose to die at any moment if Vinier were resurrected.
But Alejandro looked at Marcellus and chuckled, "Then, can you plead guilty now and be imprisoned? After you're released, I'll ask Su Hao to try and revive your girlfriend."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you refuse, because we now have enough evidence to prove your sins."
"Whether it's the case of Carles, or your creation of Les, or the dissolution of other girls, or framing the Executors of the Fools."
Arecino's words silenced Marcellus, who then looked up at her and said, "Can I accept the judgment of Winter?"
“As a Winterborn, I want to accept Winterborn’s judgment, not have my life ended in Fontainebleau by this ridiculous judgment.”
Marcel's words surprised Arecino slightly, but the others couldn't stand it.
"Hey! What do you mean?!" Funina couldn't hold back any longer, standing up and shouting at Marcel, "Are you defying the laws of Fontainebleau?!"
Not only Funina, but even Navelette frowned, showing some displeasure with what she had said.
Of course, some Fontainebleau residents at the scene also openly stated that Marcel was far too arrogant and that he had committed some serious offenses in Fontainebleau.
They want to go back to Winter Solstice for the trial?! This is blatant disregard for Fontainebleau's laws and judgment!
And... the other party is a Winterborn. If they return to Winterborn, what will become of the people who died in Fontainebleau? Will they become a joke?!
"Silence! Silence!"
Seeing that a riot was about to break out, Navelette immediately calmed everyone down.
Marcel, however, remained nonchalant. Pointing at everyone present and even looking down on Funina, he laughed loudly, "What's wrong?! Am I wrong?!"
"Have you truly forgotten what you did? To seek justice for others?! What justice?! When Vinier was dissolved by water!!!"
"Are you even paying attention to me?! No!! Not a single person!!! Nobody is helping me! Not even anyone believes in me!"
“Decades ago, even the people in the law enforcement court were telling me… how could a person dissolve into water? They said I must have gone mad because of an accident.”
Upon hearing Marcel's words, the people present fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Because this matter is indeed true. After all, rumors about people being able to dissolve in water actually appeared decades ago.
But nobody cared, after all, it's still the same old saying... how could a person possibly dissolve in water?
If it weren't for the recent series of events, the people of Fontainebleau wouldn't believe that people could be dissolved by water; they would simply think it's nonsense.
Marcel's eyes blazed with fury, a rage he had suppressed for decades finally erupting. He glared at the people before him and shouted, "So you understand now! Why did I do this?!"
"It's because you all so casually ignored Vinier's death!"
"Now you know, right?! The people of Fontainebleau can be dissolved by water! Those who dissolve can never come back!!!"
"This is all your fault! What kind of high-sounding trial is this! Pursuing justice! Pursuing farce! Turning a blind eye to the suffering of ordinary people!!!"
"Venere is dead! We made a promise! We'd go anywhere together!! That was our promise!!!"
"But!! I'm not from Fontainebleau! I can't dissolve!!!"
Marcel pointed at Navelette, then slowly at Furnessa, and finally at the audience, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Now that things had come to this, he had nothing left to hide, so he vented loudly, pouring out his emotions.
Navelette remained remarkably calm. Furnessa seemed somewhat intimidated by his imposing presence, so she took a half-step back before slowly settling into her seat.
The other audience members had varying expressions. Some seemed unable to look Marcellus in the eye, while others stared at her with amusement, and still others looked angry and dissatisfied.
Arecino took in everyone's expressions, remaining calm and without any emotional fluctuations.
Su Hao and Nasita remained calm, because what Marcel had been saying was simply to say that his tragedy was caused by Fontaine's inaction.
While that is indeed the case, in other countries, Marcel's statement that a person would dissolve in water would have been reported regardless.
In Mondstadt, whenever Marcel caused trouble for the Knights of Favonius, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius at the time would probably personally greet him.
In Liyue, if Massere is shameless and causes a ruckus at Jade Peak, the Thousand Rock Army will come to inquire, and the matter may even reach the ears of the Liyue Seven Stars.
In Inazuma, it goes without saying that even if the Three Magistrates are rotten, with Yae no Miko present, this case will still be taken seriously.
In Sumeru, given the scholars' curiosity about wisdom, it's estimated that eight out of ten would be willing to help Marcellus solve his problem.
Needless to say, during the winter solstice, the Fools are not to be trifled with. If the Winter Solstice people are dissolved by water, the Fools will come to resolve the issue the next day. If they cannot resolve it, the executor will lead a team to investigate.
