Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The problem is, none of them had thought of this.

Or rather... assuming that Marcel couldn't escape capture by the Fools and the Fontaine authorities, no one would have thought of this method.

Why would you need a stand-in if you can catch the real person?

"But how do we find a stand-in?" Gan Yu suddenly asked Arecino, "If we create a fake Marcellus, his fate won't be good. He'll probably suffer a lot until we find the real Marcellus."

"And how to change that person's appearance? Is it by using elemental power? Or through makeup? Or perhaps..."

Gan Yu is offering advice here, just as she did when she was in Liyue, giving advice to the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Arecino smiled indifferently and looked at Gan Yu, saying, "There are quite a few people who are loyal to Tartaglia, and there are quite a few disguise tools within the Fatui. As long as you don't speak, there won't be any problems with those who can see through these disguises."

Hisaki Shinobu, Sango Miyako, and the three girls nodded. Although they didn't like the way the Fatui did things, they had to admit it.

They are truly dedicated to their duties. No matter what the matter is, as long as the executive officer gives the order, they will band together and go to their deaths, even if it means going to their deaths.

Few among the Fools would object to the mere fact that he would plead guilty in place of Marcel and go to jail.

What a joke! It can rescue the executor and also sabotage him, ruining his reputation. Why not?

“No, I don’t think it’s necessary for him to suffer.” Su Hao shook his head at this moment and looked at Gan Yu and said, “We can let him escape. As long as we communicate with the guard team and Na Vilet, we can let him escape while he is confessing.”

"In this way, we can legitimately choose to arrest and purge the moles within the security force."

Arecino nodded slightly; she had thought of that too.

"Is this... reasonable?" Gan Yu was considering the rationality. It doesn't seem reasonable from any perspective that such a serious criminal was caught and then escaped.

"Whether it's reasonable or not is for the people of Fontaine to decide; it's not up to us." Arecino gave a charming smile and looked at Su Hao and his group, saying, "But in this way, the matter can be considered resolved."

"I will make arrangements for this later, and have professionals impersonate [Marcelle] so that he can appear and confess."

"As for now, let me treat everyone to dinner. This is to celebrate the young master's early exoneration."

Chapter 575 Navigette Makes a Difficult Decision

Arecino invited everyone to dinner, but they declined, because finding a stand-in for Marcel was only a backup plan.

Finding the real culprit would be the best outcome, so Gan Yu and Shen He decided not to stay with the Fools and instead chose to leave with Su Hao.

Su Hao and his group were preparing to go to Mo Mang Palace to find Navelette and discuss the matter of Marcel's double with him.

If Marcel is ultimately not found, then bringing out this stand-in to force the other party to confess would be considered exploiting a loophole in the law.

At this point, it is essential to consult with Navelette, since he is the Supreme Judge.

Arecino smiled and said that everything was up to Su Hao, since Mr. Vilette wouldn't listen to them anyway.

Furthermore, Arecino asked Su Hao if he needed any help, and if so, she was willing to let her children, Linnie and Lynette, stay with Su Hao.

With these two children around, she can be informed immediately if any special circumstances arise.

Of course, Su Hao still refused, since the matters to be discussed next could not be discussed in the presence of outsiders.

Although Arecino consistently expressed goodwill, there were some things that couldn't be said in front of them.

After Su Hao and his group left, Arecino clapped her hands, and a group of Fools entered the room.

Linnie and Linette also entered, and they knelt on one knee before Arecino as a sign of respect.

"Father, have you reached a decision?" Linni asked Arecino.

“Yes.” Arecino nodded, and then revealed everything she had just said, which made the Fools present feel both excited and ashamed.

Yes, that's one way, but for these elite fools, rescuing the young master in this way is, in a sense, a disgrace.

Yes, it is a shameful incident. Knowing who the enemy is, they were unable to identify them.

This is a tremendous disgrace!

But if this can rescue the young master, it would be a great thing.

“Father, let me do the disguise.” Linni volunteered.

Not only Linni, but the other Fools also spoke up, wanting to impersonate [Massere] and confess.

Even Lynette said she could be "Marcelle," and with her acting skills, the other Fontaines would definitely not be able to see through her disguise.

But Arecino shook her head slightly, refusing everyone, and then looked at Linni and said, "This task is for you, Linni."

“Yes, Father!” Linni nodded decisively and said very seriously, “I will try my best to imitate [Marcelle] during this period of time.”

"I will not reveal the slightest flaw at the trial."

Linni took it very seriously. Her father had entrusted her with this task, which showed his trust in her.

Arecino said calmly, "No, you need to expose many flaws and make him look as bad as possible."

"And to insult that woman named Vinier to the fullest extent, and to claim it was all her conspiracy, and to act like a clown, you know?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Linni's eyes, but she nodded seriously to show that she understood.

"Should we continue the investigation, Father?" Lynette asked Arecino, wondering whether they should continue investigating Marcellus.

The other Fools were slightly taken aback by Lynette's words, wondering how she could ask such a subtle question.

Although Lord Linni is willing to act as [Marcelle]'s substitute, let him go and confess his sins.

But the investigation into Marcellus can't be neglected, after all, we've been investigating all night, maybe we're just a little bit short?

“No need.” Arecino shook her head slightly at this moment. She looked at Lynette with a rather approving gaze and slowly explained, “Our investigation lasted all night and we have investigated almost all the large and small areas outside of Fontaine.”

“Except for some extremely remote areas that haven’t been investigated, you’ve already investigated all the other places, haven’t you?”

As Arecino uttered these words, the Fools seemed to fall silent.

Yes, the number of Fools in Fontainebleau is now exceptionally large.

To put it dramatically, half of the elite of the Winter Fools were concentrated in Fontaine.

Because of D'Artagnan's capture last night, a large group of Fools got up overnight to investigate, and later, with the help of information provided by Su Hao.

They focused their efforts on capturing Marcel, though they didn't manage to catch him.

But no one connected to him was spared; every suspected hiding place has been investigated.

“So no matter how much we investigate, it’s all in vain.” Arecino crossed her arms and said calmly, “Since an efficient plan has already been proposed.”

"Then let's proceed with this plan. The prophecy of Fontaine is about to come true, and the power of the Fools is not worth wasting on such insignificant people."

Arecino was very serious. In her eyes, Marcel was just a nobody, and no matter how much trouble he caused, he was still a nobody.

Compared to what Marcel did, the Fontaine prophecy is the one that deserves the most serious attention.

After working all night, the Fools of Fontainebleau were quite tired, even though most of them could go three days and three nights without rest.

But energy should be spent on meaningful things.

As for finding Marcellus, Arecino didn't think it was very meaningful, since the other party would be caught sooner or later anyway.

Furthermore... if the notes are genuine, the other party will definitely be unable to resist speaking out once they find out that their girlfriend has been framed in this way.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come forward, because according to the plan, he will be wanted by various countries and live a life of constant fear.

Simply put, Marcel is checkmated; he has no chance of turning the tide.

Under Arecino's orders, the Fools here issued various commands. Except for the Fools in Fontaine who needed to be on guard, the Fools in other areas began to rest.

Meanwhile, Su Hao and his group arrived at Mo Mang Palace, preparing to meet with Navelette.

Inside Navigette's office.

Navilette was dealing with various matters, his expression unusually serious. He knew the gravity of the upcoming D'Artagnan trial.

But there's no better solution right now, and if things continue like this, D'Artagnan might really be locked up.

In that case... the Fools will probably riot.

To be honest, if the Fools weren't cooperating so well, Violet would have wanted to take action earlier and eliminate the threatening Fools first.

After all, if D'Artagnan were really imprisoned, the Fools would definitely riot, which would be a major threat.

Although it was frustrating, Navelette felt that with the current strength of the Fontaine Guards, they were no match for the Fools unless he personally intervened.

But if he were to personally intervene, the other Fatui Executors would also intervene, and if he wasn't careful, even the Ice Queen might intervene.

"Still no news from Marcell?"

Navelette looked at the approaching guards and, even he couldn't help but ask another question.

“I’m sorry, Lord Vilette.” The guard shook his head, saying regretfully, “So far, there has been no news about Marcellus.”

“We have been searching with all our might, and we believe that we should be able to find traces of Marcellus before the trial.”

Navelette frowned slightly, said nothing more, and simply waved her hand to let the other person leave.

The security guard nodded immediately and went outside.

As his teammate left, Navelette looked rather hesitant, then seemed to make up his mind and stepped down from his desk.

Just as Navelette was about to leave the office, Su Hao pushed open the door and almost bumped into him.

"What brings you all here?" Navelette took a few steps back to avoid bumping into Su Hao, looking at the group of people who had arrived with some surprise.

"I have good news for you." Su Hao saw Villette's hurried departure and knew that he was also getting restless and preparing to personally search for people again.

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, a strange light flashed in Vilette's eyes, and he asked, "Have you found Marcellus?"

“I suppose so.” Su Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Villette and said, “However, this Marcellus is not the real Marcellus; he is just a stand-in.”

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Navelette frowned slightly, as if realizing something. He glanced behind him and, finding no one else, said calmly, "Come in and talk."

A large group of people entered Navelette's office.

The guards who had just left and Melusin both looked at Vilette's office with strange expressions.

The guard was very curious, and Melusin was also very curious about what would happen inside.

But curiosity aside, Lady Vilette isn't Lady Frinina. If they dared to eavesdrop, they'd be in deep trouble.

Inside Villette's office, he had just closed the door and set up a protective barrier when he heard Su Hao's words. He knew just how terrifying Su Hao's next plan was.

What are you talking about?

After closing the door and setting up the barrier, Navelette frowned slightly and looked at Su Hao, saying, "You mean... to send a substitute of Marcellus to confess?"
