Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Seeing that Su Hao had agreed, Navelette did not object. He then gave the guards a few instructions, telling them to suppress Dadalia and put him on trial the next day.

D'Artagnan did not resist, but instead shouted at Arecino, "Remember to clear my name."

Arecino nodded slightly in response to D'Artagnan. From any perspective, this matter had become something that needed to be resolved immediately.

If he ignores the fact that D'Artagnan has been framed, it will severely damage his reputation among the Fools.

Unless Her Majesty the Queen herself comes, the Fools soldiers under his command are very likely to disobey his orders.

Because a large portion of the Fools under Fontaine's command now come from Tartaglia's direct forces.

Arecino was accompanied by two lightning sorcerers and two servants.

Su Hao was accompanied by Ella, Black Ella, Gan Yu, Shen He, and Xia Worei.

Chiori and Charlotte were unable to come because their status was not high enough to allow them to listen in.

Villette was accompanied by Clorinde, but no one else.

"Did you see everything that happened tonight, Su Hao?" Navelette asked Su Hao.

At this moment, Navelette was somewhat serious, lacking his usual affability; this was his businesslike attitude.

Based on intelligence gathered by the security forces, the primary suspect is D'Artagnan, and the secondary suspect is Su Hao.

“Yes, I saw it all. The situation is more complicated than I imagined.” Su Hao nodded, showing no surprise at Villette’s change in attitude.

Because if it were Su Hao himself, he would have discovered that besides Tartaglia, there was another being even stronger than Tartaglia on the scene.

Then he will also suspect the other party, wondering if the other party did it.

"How complicated is it?" Arecino was quite glad that Su Hao was there; otherwise, given the current situation, even if they wanted to investigate, what could they possibly find out in just one night?

Tomorrow, D'Artagnan will be tried. If the real culprit isn't found quickly, the other party will be sentenced as the prime suspect.

This situation is quite common in Fontainebleau, and if today's events go wrong, it could lead to a confrontation between the Fools and Fontainebleau.

The fact that the Supreme Judge Navelette personally intervened shows that he didn't want to see this happen, which is why he rushed to the scene.

This matter is no longer just about the Fools being framed; it concerns the future of relations between Fontaine and Winter.

"Well, how should I put it?" Su Hao told Navelette and Arecino everything that had happened that day, without hiding anything.

After these things were said, both Navelette and Arecino frowned, realizing the predicament they were facing.

The most troublesome part is that there was no third party involved in this whole affair.

The key witness had been dissolved. Su Hao went to rescue him immediately, but he couldn't sense any will or soul in the water.

What exactly happened? How did the mysterious person hiding in the shadows manage to do this?

Moreover, this was an open scheme, a scheme to force Su Hao to take action.

“It seems the other party is very disappointed, and may even think you are a liar.” Arecino looked at Su Hao and guessed some of his thoughts, saying, “Because he knew you would arrive at the scene, so he dissolved that person in front of you.”

"He just wants to see if you have the ability to restore it. If you succeed, he will probably try to negotiate with you."

"And in this way, Dadalia will be safe, but because you failed to revive that guy, he's probably very, very disappointed hiding in the shadows."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, everyone nodded slightly. Yes, if that person were resurrected, then Tartaglia's injustice could certainly be cleared.

Even if nothing happens, as long as no one dies, there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

Perhaps fearing that things would escalate, the mysterious person hiding in the shadows also took precautions and did not kill Andrew's wife and daughters.

"In this situation, Mr. Navelette, how do you intend to conduct the trial?" Arecino looked at Navelette and asked him how he planned to handle the matter.

With Su Hao's testimony, it can be basically confirmed that D'Artagnan is innocent. This situation would be a major blow to Inazuma, who has the most grievances against the Fools, no matter which country it is in.

They would immediately release the news to show that D'Artagnan was innocent, and then begin investigating the real culprit.

But Navelette remained silent. He said calmly, "Although the trial has not yet begun, only D'Artagnan is a prime suspect at the scene. Unless the real culprit is found, we can only let the Cardinal of the Decree decide."

Navelette's implication was clear: the trial must proceed regardless, unless the true culprit is found and the Cardinal Determinant issues a final verdict.

Such inhumane practices caused both the Thunderfire sorcerers and their servants to frown.

Even Su Hao explained that this matter had nothing to do with the young master, yet a trial was still being held under these circumstances.

Is this Supreme Judge of Fontaineble out of his mind?

Does the other party really intend to convict the young master?

“Hehehe, a trial, huh?” Arecino smiled, glancing at Navelette without saying anything more.

Because she knew his personality well back in Fontaine; this Supreme Judge was notoriously inflexible.

He was completely ignorant of social etiquette, and even in cases of wrongful conviction that were obvious to anyone with eyes, he would still conduct a trial to make a judgment.

“………………”X2.

Neither Clarinde nor Chavory, both from Fontainebleau, spoke, for they knew Vilette's personality well.

Whether someone is guilty or not, he is only responsible for the trial; the real decision is made by the cardinal who issues the decree.

Although from any perspective, D'Artagnan is unlikely to be a criminal, multiple pieces of evidence point to his guilt, so for the sake of "justice," Vilette must also be put on trial.

"Who tipped us off, saying that D'Artagnan was here?" Gan Yu suddenly spoke up at this moment, her goal very clear.

Something strange was amiss tonight. D'Artagnan had just spotted the two men, and not long after, the Fontaine Guard arrived.

Everything seemed to have been calculated.

At this moment, Clarinde spoke up, "When I came here, I did some investigation. Apparently, someone anonymously reported that D'Artaglia is the murderer in the serial disappearances of girls, and provided relevant evidence."

"The location of Dadalia was also written on it, so the guards went out to investigate, and unexpectedly they stumbled upon this scene."

Su Hao looked at Claurind and asked, "Are you attending this banquet tonight?"

Clarind nodded and looked at Su Hao calmly as she replied, "I am indeed attending this banquet tonight because someone wrote to me saying that a conspiracy is being plotted at this banquet, and the Fools seem to be doing something."

"Because of the reputation of the Fools, I was worried, so I asked someone to prepare an invitation to the banquet, intending to openly and legitimately investigate."

"As a result of some trivial matters, I was delayed and my schedule was disrupted. When I received the news, I was told that something had already happened here."

While Clarinde was speaking, Su Hao peered into her mind and found that she was not lying. She was also very puzzled as to what kind of being dared to scheme against the Fools, the Court of Law, and Su Hao's group.

That person is far too audacious. Isn't he afraid of puncturing a hole in the sky?

"So, someone's been playing us for fools?" Arecino couldn't help but laugh, though her smile was somewhat cold.

“No, that’s not how it is.” Xia Worei shook her head and said seriously, “The person hiding in the shadows didn’t play us. He simply passed on information to us, leading us into a specific location, and then dissolved that man.”

"As for other matters, he did almost nothing, and he seemed to know a great deal about the Fools and the Fontaine Inquisition."

Xia Wore could sense that the person hiding in the shadows knew a lot about the Fools and the Fontaine Tribunal.

“And…” Xia Worei paused for a moment before slowly saying, “He has people in the Court of Justice.”

Xia Wore's words were essentially saying that there was a mole within Fontaine.

Otherwise, given the speed of the security forces, such efficiency would be impossible. There must be an insider pushing all of this, which is why the security forces arrived at the scene at the right time and place.

“There are probably similar individuals within the Fools,” Arecino said calmly. “However, he is definitely not from the core organization; he is likely someone recently recruited by Fontaine.”

“In the past, I could probably have easily investigated it.”

"but now……"

Arecino seemed to sigh helplessly. In order to fight against the prophecy, she had brought over the Fatui from Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru.

They even brought in a batch of elite troops from Zhidong's side.

The reason why more Fools now know Black Ella is because those elite troops have all been to the Abyss, so they all know Black Ella.

It hasn't been many years since Black Ella betrayed the Fools, so naturally the others won't forget her so quickly.

With more people involved, there are more suspects. If Aregino is given enough time, catching the mole will be a simple matter.

But finding the mole in just one night is no easy task.

Even if we narrow it down, there are still hundreds or even thousands of Fools in this area.

It's absolutely impossible to find it in one night; you'd have to give Arecino two days.

But D'Artagnan will be on trial tomorrow, and if he is found guilty, even if he is exonerated afterward, I'm afraid few people will be willing to listen.

"…………"

Navelette fell silent again. He glanced at Su Hao, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, but in the end he shook his head, abandoning the idea in his mind.

"Then Master Villette."

At this moment, a member of the guard team came over and said to Villette, "There has been a major discovery here. Please come and take a look."

Navelette nodded slightly, then looked at Arecino and Su Hao and said, "The trial will take place tomorrow evening."

After saying this, Navelette left, while Clarinde stayed behind; she did not leave with Navelette.

"Aren't you leaving?" Xia Worei looked at Claurind with some surprise.

“Yes.” Clorind nodded, her tone calm. “It was because of my invitation that you, young master, came here.”

“I already know that you want to fight me, young master. If possible, I would also like to fight the executor of the Fools.”

“But lately there have been too many trivial matters, and I can’t deal with him. But now he has been framed because of me, and I have a reason to help find out the truth.”

Claude was very serious; D'Artagnan had only come to the dinner party because of her, and was therefore being unfairly blamed.

Based on Clarind's past experience, D'Artagnan is unlikely to be able to get away with this.

In Fontainebleau, the chances of a case being overturned when all the witnesses and physical evidence point to the same person are extremely slim.

Given the level of hostility the people of Fontaine harbor towards the Fools, Clarinde could imagine what the trial would be like tomorrow night.

“However, Mr. Navelette still bought us some time.” Arecino watched Navelette’s departing figure and said slowly, “Logically speaking, such a major case should be tried at noon.”

"But by delaying it until evening, he bought us a lot of time."

Su Hao nodded in agreement, because a trial takes time, ranging from two hours to five to six hours.

Choosing to do it in the evening, in a sense, buys you a whole day.

"In any case, now is not the time for idle chatter; we need to find evidence quickly."

Arecino looked at Su Hao and said seriously, "Excuse me, I have to go and collect evidence now. We'll meet up again after we've collected enough evidence."

“I swear in the name of my servant that I will pay you a price to acquire the intelligence you have gathered.”
