After the words fell, Villette's face showed a hint of displeasure, but he still replied calmly: "The Shadow Chaser Court will investigate this matter."
Upon hearing this, Marcelle raised the corner of her mouth with a barely perceptible sarcasm, "Then Judge Villette, I believe in the justice of Fontaine."
After saying that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Song Yinjian provocatively.
However, Song Yinjian remained indifferent, as if he was watching a cheap clown farce.
After Marcelle walked out of the office, Song Yinjian slowly stood up and walked to Villette's desk.
"Then Judge Villette, shouldn't you immediately arrange for the arrest of this guy who falsely accused me?"
Villette frowned slightly, "Agents from the Shadow Chaser Court will come to investigate.
"So, do I need to cooperate with your investigation, accept questioning by the Shadow Chasing Court, and then be temporarily detained in a detention center?"
Song Yinjian's voice was full of teasing.
Navrette said calmly, "I'll have the Shadow Chaser agents investigate the truth as quickly as possible, and try not to waste your time."
Song Yinjian wasn't satisfied with his answer. "Then, what will happen to the person who falsely accused me? I won't accept a mere apology or compensation, and neither will Liyue."
At the end, he deliberately emphasized his tone to stress the uniqueness of his identity.
For a moment, Villette fell into a deep silence.
If this matter is handled according to the current laws of Fontaine, given Song Yinjian's status and position in Liyue, it will inevitably lead to extremely serious diplomatic consequences.
But if he did not follow the Fontaine Law, it would undoubtedly be a blatant violation of the law, which would violate his principles as the supreme judge.
Seeing that he remained silent, Song Yinjian continued to speak to himself, "It is undoubtedly ridiculous to abandon justice itself for the sake of the procedure of justice.
Just like Cares that year, you knew he was innocent, so why didn't you stop the proxy duel?
Why did you have to watch him die on the duel stage?"
His voice gradually rose, carrying an undeniable momentum, "When you were riding the 'Cares Line' waterway, was there a moment when you regretted your old-fashioned ways?"
This series of questions pierced Villette's heart like extremely sharp swords.
Navrette clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
After a moment, he calmed down and replied in a low and hoarse voice: "I regretted it.
But if the process of justice is shaken for this, it will only lead to more people being deprived of justice.”
Song Yinjian sighed slightly after hearing this, "Well, Villette, you got one thing wrong.
Having experienced five hundred years of trials, you have become justice itself, able to define and determine justice. Those dogmatic and rigid procedures should not be your shackles."
Villette's whole body shook violently, and he suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and then he realized where he was wrong.
As the highest judge of Fontaine, he has sufficient power and ability to define and decide justice, and should not be bound by rigid procedures.
He looked up at Song Yinjian, a hint of admiration in his eyes, "I will issue an order that the Zhuying Court will not accept the false accusation case against you.
Furthermore, the law should be revised so that any false accusation will be severely punished.”
Song Yinjian nodded slightly, agreeing with Villette's decision.
Then, he took out a bottle of drink from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Villette, "Try it.
Confused, Villette took the bottle of drink labeled "Les," gently unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.
In an instant, his expression changed slightly, and his tone was filled with surprise, "How come there is a trace amount of original fetal sea water in this?"
Song Yinjian did not directly answer his question, but said: "After the Fontaine people drink this stuff, they will feel very happy physically and mentally, and hallucinations will appear in their minds. In addition, it will make people extremely dependent on it.
The price of this bottle is 200,000 Mora, which is two months’ salary for an ordinary Fontaine resident.”
When Villette heard this, his mind raced and he immediately understood everything.
The huge profits brought by "Le's" drinks have built a huge community of interests, almost covering the entire administrative and law enforcement agencies of Fontaine.
Back then, Cares must have realized the dark truth and knew that he, suffering from a terminal illness, was unable to contend with such a huge dark force. In order to protect his family, he chose to seek death.
Thinking of this, Villette couldn't help but sigh. "It was my fault back then. I clearly noticed something was amiss, but I still allowed the proxy duel to proceed."
Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian asked, "How do you plan to deal with those criminals?"
"Of course, it will be handled strictly according to the laws of Fontaine." Villette said seriously and firmly.
Song Yinjian's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, and he said bluntly: "But there is no death penalty in Fengdan's law."
That Villette had a helpless look on her face. "The water god Fukaros took away the death penalty. Even I can't re-impose it."
Song Yinjian said calmly, "Since Fengdan can't sentence them to death, leave it to me.
If there is no justice, then there is no justice."
Chapter 239: Master Song actually did something like that
"Master Song, please respect the laws of Fontaine. What you believe to be justice is not what is truly just." Navilette looked directly at Song Yinjian with a firm gaze. "I promise that those criminals will receive the punishment they deserve in Melo Petersburg."
Song Yinjian shrugged. "Then you'd better stop them from causing trouble for me, otherwise, they will pay a heavy price for this!"
After that, he said no more and turned away without looking back.
Navilette looked at his back, frowned slightly, and then drafted an administrative order to prevent the Zhuying Court from accepting the false accusation against Song Yinjian.
However, he would never have thought that Song Yinjian had just stepped out of Mo Mang Palace when he was surrounded by a team of guards armed with muskets.
The leader was the nobleman who had stopped Song Yinjian that night. He had a forced smile on his face and looked at Song Yinjian with provocation in his eyes. "Master Song, please introduce yourself. I am Baron Joffrey of the Lance family and the deputy captain of the security team."
"We'd like you to come with us now. An old lady in her seventies has accused you of defiling her yesterday."
"I didn't expect your taste to be so strong! Hahaha~"
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed out loud towards the sky. Seeing this, the security guards behind him also started laughing.
Their laughter attracted passers-by around, and more and more people stopped to watch.
When they learned that Song Yinjian had defiled the old lady, even though they knew it was fake, they still couldn't help but laugh.
Song Yinjian's expression remained calm as he asked calmly, "Joffrey, does your guard have the authority to take me away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Joffrey's unbridled laughter stopped abruptly.
He didn't expect that this man from Liyue knew everything about something that even many native Fontaine people might not know.
The main responsibility of the guard is to protect the safety of the people of Fontaine. Unless they receive clear instructions from their superiors, they have no power to take any coercive measures against others.
"The Shadow Chaser Court has already drafted a warrant for your arrest. Taking you away now complies with regulations." His face flushed crimson, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, attack!"
With his order, the security team members behind him gradually approached Song Yinjian.
Song Yinjian remained calm and composed. He spoke slowly, his voice clear and powerful, "According to the current administrative regulations of Fontainebleau, if the security forces forcibly take someone away without an arrest warrant, it is a serious violation of the regulations and will be punished by dismissal, suspension, demotion, etc. In serious cases, they will be held accountable according to the law."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards stopped one by one, looking at each other, and no one was willing to take another step forward.
The people around saw that Song Yinjian easily drove away the usually arrogant and domineering security team with just a few words, and they immediately burst into warm applause.
Joffrey's face turned livid when he saw this. He shouted at the guards, "Go! If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"
The guards looked at each other, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly approach Song Yinjian again.
Song Yinjian's eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at the guards. "You fear the power of the nobles, but don't you fear mine?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the security team members immediately stopped again. They could not afford to offend this Liyue Immortal Master.
"A bunch of rubbish! Come on!" Joffrey shouted angrily.
Song Yinjian snorted disdainfully and walked forward.
But before he could take a few steps, a middle-aged agent from the Shadow Chaser Court blocked his way again.
The agent was obese, with a fake smile plastered on his fat face.
"Master Song, hello, I'm Agent Zhan Wen." His voice was shrill and flattering, "For the sake of your reputation and the justice of Fontaine, please cooperate with us in this investigation.
I sincerely apologize if I have wasted your time."
As he spoke, he bowed hypocritically, and his expression was even more disgusting.
Song Yinjian crossed his arms and asked calmly, "What if I don't cooperate?"
When Zhan Wen saw this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious expression.
He pulled out an arrest warrant from his pocket, his expression stern, and shouted, "For the justice of Fontaine, we have no choice but to take you there by force!"
Song Yinjian nodded slightly, a mocking smile on his lips, "Your rank is much higher than that idiot. You know how to stand on the moral high ground and use justice to suppress me.
But who are you?"
Zhan Wen's face instantly turned pale and blue. He turned around and ordered the guards, "All guards, raise your muskets.
For the justice of Fontaine, we must make a difficult and great decision!"
When the guards heard this, they were speechless, but under the order, they raised their muskets again.
"Master Song, please follow me!" Zhan Wen put on a righteous look, like a fearless fighter fighting for justice.
Song Yinjian stared at him deeply. After a moment, he sighed regretfully, "Since you insist that I go with you, then I will go with you!"
Zhan Wenben had already prepared for a fierce conflict with Song Yinjian, but he never expected that the other party would give in so easily.
He did not feel the slightest bit happy about this, but instead an ominous premonition came to his mind.
But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.
Chapter 240: Fu Nina, how should you compensate me?
In a narrow and slightly dim room, Zhan Wen sat behind a table, staring at Song Yinjian who was sitting on a simple low chair opposite him.
Fu Ningna stood beside Song Yinjian, her pretty little face full of dissatisfaction.
After a moment's silence, Zhan Wen began the interrogation in a condescending manner.
"Master Song, may I ask where you were last night?"
"I went to visit a friend first and then returned to the hotel to rest."
"Oh? Then, is there anyone who can prove that you stayed in the hotel all night and didn't leave?"
"The hotel staff can testify."
"Unfortunately, they didn't enter your room and couldn't confirm whether you were actually there. Sorry, Master Song, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Funina could no longer suppress her anger and her voice suddenly rose. "Agent Zhan Wen, your logic is absurd! Can't the hotel staff prove that he didn't leave?"
Zhan Wen replied calmly: “Miss Funina, we have encountered similar cases before.
Some suspects left the hotel through some unknown means and successfully avoided the sight of the staff.
For the sake of justice for Fontaine, we cannot rule out this possibility."
Furninna's chest heaved with rage, and she pointed her slender finger at Zhan Wen, "You're just making up stories!"
Zhan Wen remained unmoved, his expression firm, "All of this is for justice."
Finina was speechless for a moment. Although she was extremely angry, she could not refute his seemingly high-sounding reason.
Song Yinjian's expression was calm as he spoke slowly, "There's an old saying in Liyue: 'If you want to accuse someone, you'll always find a pretext.' It means that if you're determined to accuse someone, you'll always find an excuse or justification."
As soon as the words fell, Fu Nina suddenly understood why Zhan Wen was so unreasonable. She turned around and asked, "Why do you insist on accusing Master Song of a crime?"
Zhan Wen was now "a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water" and said more firmly: "Lady Funina, everything I do is for the justice of Fontaine!
Immortal Master Song's accusations are a complete slander against me!"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of smugness that was difficult to conceal.
An omnipotent immortal master, a god representing justice, but they are helpless against him.
Which mortal in the world can achieve such an achievement?
Just as Zhan Wen was immersed in that twisted mood of self-satisfaction, there was a loud "bang" and the door of the interrogation room was kicked open by a powerful force.
The huge impact force caused the door to hit the wall heavily, making a buzzing sound.
A slender girl walked in slowly. She had long, smooth blue hair, a tall hat, a tight red dress, and her slender legs were wrapped in pure white pantyhose.
Her face was cold, and she wore an eyepatch on her left eye for aiming. This patch didn't ruin her beauty, but instead gave her an air of majesty. When Xia Wulei saw the girl appear, Zhan Wen's face instantly turned as pale as paper. "Captain Xia Wulei, this is not the place for your special patrol team."
Xia Wulei glanced at him calmly and said, "Agent Zhan Wen, Judge Villette has just issued an administrative order requiring the Shadow Chasing Court not to accept the false accusation case against Master Song."
