Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Wang Que looked at the reporters again and said, "Regarding what you want to know, why don't we go to Mo Mang Palace and talk about it?"

The reporters looked at each other.

They actually took the money, otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast.

People started shouting at the gate of Mo Mang Palace at noon, and they blocked Wang Que after lunch.

But things have come to this point. If they don't dare to go to Mo Mang Palace, these workers probably won't let them off.

Moreover, they actually have evidence in their hands and know that it was Wang Que who killed the person.

Wang Que had demonstrated this salting technique more than once when he was in Liyue.

The reporters in Fontaine will definitely not be able to obtain relevant evidence.

But if the reporters can’t get it, how can the fools not get it?

This was a game that had been brewing for a long time and was specifically aimed at Wang Que.

"Okay, let's go to Momang Palace."

The reporters nodded.

Wang Que smiled and said to Old Jack, "You guys continue to deal with the factory's affairs. I'll be fine. If you follow me, people will think I'm going to cause trouble."

Old Jack hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to listen to Wang Que.

Finally, the workers stayed, and Wang Que led a group of reporters to Mo Mang Palace.

...

Momang Palace.

Meeting room on Funina Room floor.

Navrette handed the case file to Funina. "Ms. Funina, this involves foreign envoys. I need your judgment."

Finina frowned slightly. "Are you sure? Was it really Wang Que who killed him?"

Navilette nodded slightly. "Yes, Wang Que carries a strange divine eye. I could sense a special aura of power before. It's almost the same as the aura of power on those salt sculptures."

Furninna frowned.

To be honest, she likes Wang Que very much. Of course, it’s the kind of love a star has for a big fan.

In her heart, she was somewhat unwilling to believe that Wang Que would kill someone.

However, now it seems to have become an established fact, so...

After hesitating for a moment, Funina said, "Then let's handle it according to the law. However, we must give Wang Que a chance to defend himself."

She is the Queen of waters, lands, peoples, and laws, and judgment is her authority.

Even if a foreigner committed a crime in Fontaine, she should judge him.

That Villette breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay."

Funina's previous act of giving gifts to Wang Que made him a little worried that Funina would abuse her power and bend the law.

But now it seems that this water god still upholds justice.

While talking,

There was a knock on the door outside.

'Tuk tuk tuk'

"Ms. Finina, Lord Villette, Wang Que is here, and there are many reporters and onlookers."

Funina was startled and wanted to go out.

Villette quickly stopped him: "Ms. Finina, it's inconvenient for you to come forward, leave it to me."

No matter what the situation is now, if Funina goes out, she may be forced to make a judgment in public, and there will be no room for turning back.

So, that Villette stopped her.

Finina nodded quickly: "Okay, then Villette, you go."

"Well, I'll be there right away."

When Villette arrived at the gate of Momang Palace.

A large number of people have gathered here, and reporters are arriving one after another.

Wang Que stood on the stairs of Mo Mang Palace, looking at everyone with a smile, without any fear of being caught for murder.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

They were also unwilling to believe that the hero who saved the old Fontaine factory was a murderer.

When they saw Villette come out, the crowd became even more noisy.

Everyone wanted to hear what he had to say.

Navilette looked around and said, "Besieging the Momang Palace is a violation of the Fontaine Fundamental Law."

People around: ...

Good man, you are the first to convict the onlookers. You are worthy of being the supreme judge.

As soon as he said this, the surging crowd around him immediately dispersed.

Soon, only a group of reporters were left.

"Your Excellency, Supreme Inquisitor, may I ask what your opinion is on this case? Will the Inquisition side with the Liyue Emissary?"

"Do foreign envoys enjoy immunity in Fontaine?"

"Will you try Wang Que at the opera house?"

The journalists were not afraid of Villette.

They started asking questions frantically.

Chapter 219 Surprise

Facing the reporters' barrage of questions, Navelette raised his hand for silence.

His deep gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Wang Que.

"Because this incident has such a significant impact, I am issuing this statement."

"Under Fontaine law, everyone has the right to defend themselves."

"Until then, the person who committed the crime cannot be convicted."

Villette's voice was steady and powerful.

"Mr. Wang Que, please explain the situation at that time. Did you kill them?"

Wang Que took a step forward and looked around at the reporters. He noticed a few furtive figures following him in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Yes, I killed them."

The reporters below were in an uproar.

The camera turned into a machine gun, snapping away non-stop.

The Liyue envoy admitted to killing someone, which is so explosive.

Villette raised his hand and looked at Wang Que with a deep gaze. "Sir Wang Que, do you plead guilty?"

Wang Que smiled and said, "No, no, no, I only admitted that I killed someone. I didn't admit that I was guilty."

He turned his gaze and looked at the reporters below: "Everyone, I did encounter these people in Roudeng Port."

"I had just gotten off the Liyue merchant ship and was thinking about how to get to Fontaine."

Wang Que paused for a moment, took out a bag of Mora from his arms, and pointed at the luxurious clothes on his body:

"These people surrounded me with sharp weapons and threatened to kidnap me. As an outsider who looked quite wealthy, I had to defend myself."

"I don't know if the salt sculptures they brought have weapons on them, but if not, the Shadow Chaser can check. They will definitely have different marks on their hands."

Villette nodded slightly. "According to our inspection, these salt sculptures were originally holding something in their hands. I suspect it was a dagger or some other weapon."

Wang Que continued, "In a commercial port, several people armed with daggers surrounded a foreigner. I think everyone should understand what this means."

There was an uproar among the reporters.

Is the Liyue envoy counterattacking in self-defense?

Although Fontaine is a kingdom of law, Teyvat is ultimately a supernatural world.

If it was a self-defense counterattack, it would not be considered a mistake.

You can't let people be bullied without fighting back, right?

If self-defense counterattack is illegal, then if we are surrounded by a group of treasure thieves in the wild, we should just surrender.

But someone immediately raised a question: "But salting is too cruel!"

"Cruel?" Wang Que's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sneered.

“If I hadn’t been able to protect myself at that time, I would have been locked up in some dark cabin by now.

Did you know that the sailor gangs in Roudeng Harbor specialize in kidnapping wealthy businessmen for ransom?

He turned to Navilette and said, "Your Excellency, Supreme Judge, I have the contact information of Mr. Zhang, the boss of the Liyue merchant ship at that time. He can prove that I left the ship alone. And..."

Wang Que suddenly pointed at a few men in baseball caps in the crowd and said, "These gentlemen have been secretly filming with their cameras since a while ago. Aren't they members of the 'Novelty Pants Club' in Roudeng Harbor?"

Several people's faces changed drastically and they turned around to escape, but were stopped by the guards.

Wang Que continued, "I'm very curious. Why would a gang member from Roudeng Port appear in front of Momang Palace? And who is behind all this?"

"If the people I killed were good people, their families should be here, right?"

"Could it be that... the current Fontaine prefers the mafia to step in and advocate for justice?"

"Or maybe I recently affected someone's interests in Fontaine, so someone wants to take action against me?"

"Everyone, I have been in Fontaine for some time, and the conflict with them happened a long time ago."

"They didn't come before, but they came now. Isn't it suspicious?"

The reporters suddenly became agitated, and their keen professional sense made them realize that things were not simple.

Someone has already started documenting this unexpected discovery.

The camera kept filming several people who were stopped by the guards.

The public's attention was diverted.

The question changed from Wang Que killing someone to whether someone was using this incident to target Wang Que.

Navilette glanced at Wang Que, then nodded slightly and announced, "We will thoroughly investigate this matter. Mr. Wang Que, given the lack of evidence at this time, you may leave temporarily, but you are not allowed to leave Fontaine."

Wang Que bowed gracefully. "Thank you for your fairness. I have something to deal with regarding the factory renovation and won't be leaving anytime soon."

He turned to face the reporters and said sincerely, "Ladies and gentlemen, I came to Fontaine for business cooperation and technological exchange. If anyone wants to use such despicable means to undermine the relationship between our two countries, I will never sit idly by."

These words were so powerful that the reporters all lowered their heads to take notes.

The gang members who were identified looked pale and lowered their heads one by one.

Wang Que looked at them and felt that these people did not seem to be truly disappointed.

On the contrary... a little relieved?

Isn't it their ultimate goal to use the murder case against themselves?

"Is it related to the mysterious person sent into the country by the North Country Bank?"

A hint of suspicion emerged in Wang Que's heart.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

The Liyue messenger murder case has come to a temporary end.

However, this matter is definitely not over.

Navilete brought Wang Que back to his office and asked, "Sir Wang Que, are there any details you haven't mentioned?"

Wang Que didn't hide it: "I suspect it has something to do with the Northland Bank. These people are actually thugs from Roudeng Port. They may not be considered to have committed heinous crimes, but the ordinary people in Roudeng Port should be happy that they are dead."
