However, Song Yinjian was not a person who liked to reason. He walked straight forward and pressed his lips against her soft pink lips, savoring the sweetness and beauty.

Finina struggled slightly at first, but soon gave up resistance and gradually opened her heart to accept his kiss.

It's just that her kissing skills were a little clumsy, her teeth would touch Song Yinjian from time to time, and she didn't know how to regulate her breathing.

Soon, her face turned red due to lack of oxygen, which made Song Yinjian a little worried that this cute idiot would die from lack of oxygen due to a kiss.

Chapter 243 The Time of Reckoning Has Come

Three nights later, the Oprykle Opera House was brightly lit.

The audience seats below the stage were packed, waiting for the grand trial that was about to begin.

The defendant on trial was none other than Tartaglia, who had previously managed to escape legal punishment through a proxy duel.

The reason why this trial attracted so much attention was not only because of the special identity of the defendant, but also because of the identity of the defendant's agent - he was Song Yinjian, who was in love with the Fontainebleau water goddess Funina.

The audience is full of curiosity and anticipation. In the face of overwhelming evidence, how will this immortal master from Liyue defend Tartaglia?

In the box on the second floor, Funina sat elegantly on a gorgeous chair, her eyes fixed on Song Yinjian standing in the dock, her bright eyes filled with tenderness.

In the front row of the audience, Ying also looked at Song Yinjian with an obsessed look. In addition to tenderness, there was also an indescribable desire for a "husband".

At this moment, Tartaglia, who was sitting in the dock, whispered to Song Yinjian beside him, "Hey, Immortal Master Song, you should be able to help me get rid of this crime, right?"

Song Yinjian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of the crime."

However, after hearing this, Tartaglia felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.

The feeling was just like last year in Liyue, when I was betrayed without even realizing it.

Not long after, Navelette, standing on the platform, leaned on his cane with both hands, and then knocked the cane hard on the floor.

"Boom!" A dull and loud noise, like a thunder, instantly echoed in the theater, swallowing up all the noisy sounds.

Then, Navillatte, with a solemn expression, declared solemnly and forcefully, "In the name of Supreme Judge Navillatte, I declare this trial officially open."

As he finished speaking, this highly anticipated trial finally began.

At the beginning of the trial, the plaintiff Marcelle's agent, Pierre, known as the "gold medal lawyer", passionately accused Tartaglia of crimes.

After he finished his accusation, Villette looked at Song Yinjian and asked calmly, "Counselor for the defendant, do you think the accusation made by the plaintiff's attorney is true?"

Song Yinjian remained calm and composed, replying righteously, "Of course it's not true. My client is a kind and upright young man. He would hand in a Mora he found on the street. How could he do such a thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became boiling. This was obviously a lie told with open eyes.

Even Tartaglia, who was standing next to him, felt a little embarrassed at this moment and whispered, "Master Song, I won't pick up a Mora if it falls on the ground."

"Silence!" Navrette shouted coldly, instantly quieting the room again. He then announced loudly, "Now, let's move on to the evidence debate."

Pierre eagerly took out a box of American ginseng and a large, wrinkled white radish, held them high, and said loudly, "These are the evidence of the defendant's forced purchase and sale."

When the audience saw the box of American ginseng, their reaction was not too big, but when they saw the wrinkled white radish, they could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

When Tartaglia saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at Song Yinjian with resentment.

He had been with the Fatui for so many years and had indeed done a lot of cheating and deceiving things, but this was the first time he had done something so unscrupulous.

That Villette turned to look at Song Yinjian and asked in a cold voice, "Defendant's attorney, do you have any objection to the evidence presented by the plaintiff's attorney?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Song Yinjian, waiting for him to give a brilliant rebuttal and turn the tide.

However, Song Yinjian simply smiled faintly and said lightly, "There's nothing to refute. My client did indeed forcefully sell them to Marcelle as Liyue ginseng."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the audience were stunned. They did not expect that Song Yinjian, the defendant's agent, would directly admit the accusations made by the other party.

Tartaglia reacted quickly, his expression instantly becoming anxious, and he quickly said, "Master Song, please don't trick me. I'm still so young, and I don't want to go in and operate a sewing machine."

Song Yinjian reached out and patted his shoulder, "Taddalia, this kind of thing cannot be refuted, and the other party has many witnesses.

There's nothing wrong with entering Mellow Petersburg. It gives you the opportunity to challenge Warden Leosley, a formidable figure even beyond Clorinde.

When Tartaglia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As long as you can challenge the strong, going to jail doesn't seem so unacceptable.

He said somewhat depressedly: "Then why did you just say that the accusation was not true?"

Song Yinjian shrugged. "This is called going through the motions seriously. After all, I'm still your attorney for the defendant."

After he admitted the other party's evidence, the cardinal immediately tilted towards Marcelle's side.

The subsequent trial progressed quickly and Song Yinjian made almost no rebuttal.

This made many viewers who were looking forward to the trial feel very bored.

Finally, the cardinal issued the final ruling, "Datalia is guilty and sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Melo Petersburg."

After Villette read out the verdict solemnly, the trial came to an end.

But just as everyone was about to stand up and leave, Song Yinjian suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Then Judge Villette, Ms. Fininna, and everyone in the audience, do you know why Tartaglia is blackmailing President Marcelle?"

Everyone stopped and focused their attention on Song Yinjian again.

Tartaglia couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't the reason he blackmailed Marcelle because he didn't want to be beaten with steel wool by a rich woman?

Is there any other reason?

Villette's expression became serious, and he asked in his calm and authoritative voice, "What's the reason?"

Song Yinjian looked around and said with a firm gaze, "Because Tartaglia wants to seek justice for the president he admires, Kares!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The name Cares is very familiar to all Fontaine people. The Fontaine Waterway named after him is the greatest project in Fontaine in the past hundred years, making travel extremely convenient for Fontaine people.

The case three years ago is still fresh in the minds of many people.

Although Cares died in a proxy duel, there are too many strange things about this case.

At this moment, Marcelle's face changed drastically and she turned around to leave.

But he was still a step too late.

Navia stopped him and said, "It's time to settle the accounts!"

Chapter 244: Kares' Justice

Marcelle was forcibly escorted back to the plaintiff's seat by two fierce-looking special patrol officers, one on each side.

Pierre finally recovered from his shock. He looked up at Villette and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Judge Villette, this is illegal. I demand the immediate release of Mr. Marcelle."

Navrette simply glanced at him calmly, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty, "The defendant's attorney's next statement may reveal the darkness that was covered up three years ago.

As the Supreme Judge, I believe it is necessary to hear his statement in its entirety."

"Protest!" Pierre's tone became more and more excited, his face flushed. "I strongly protest your behavior!"

Villette's expression remained indifferent. "Protests are invalid!"

Then, he ignored Pierre and turned to look at Song Yinjian, "Defendant's attorney, please continue your story."

Song Yinjian nodded slightly and narrated, "Three years ago, the Thorn Rose Society's financial situation deteriorated drastically due to the construction of the Fontaine Waterway.

In order to survive, many gang members have to look for part-time jobs to make a living.

At that time, among the many ways to make money, the one that brought in the most money was selling a drink called 'Les'."

The moment he said "Les", it was as if a bomb exploded in the theater.

The atmosphere in the originally quiet theater suddenly became tense. Some people were anxious, some had fierce looks on their faces, and some had already quietly slipped out of the theater...

All these changes were seen by Navelette who was standing on the high platform.

Song Yinjian continued his narration, "Cares discovered that this drink can make people feel happy and produce hallucinations, but it can also cause irreparable damage to the drinker's mind and body."

"So, he banned the sale of 'Les' and launched an investigation into it."

"His investigation touched upon the interests of many people, and therefore, a conspiracy was launched against him."

When he said this, Marcelle's eyes were full of panic and his legs were a little weak. He tried his best to remain calm and not let others see that he was abnormal.

Some people can no longer sit still.

Captain Groli's face was gloomy. He strode onto the stage with long strides. He looked up at Villette with a stern expression. "As Captain of the Security, I request that this trial be brought to an immediate end and that Mr. Marcelle be released."

In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar, their eyes widened, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

They never expected that the captain of the security team would openly interfere with the trial at this time.

While they were still in shock, several senior officials from the Shadow-Exorcism Court, the Law Enforcement Court and the Procuratorial Court walked onto the stage. They had serious expressions and expressed their attitude in a resolute tone, demanding that the trial be stopped and Marcelle be released.

This sudden change made the atmosphere in the entire opera house even more tense.

If it were in the past, Villette would definitely handle the matter with caution to prevent the situation from getting worse.

But now, he just looked at them coldly and said in a cold tone: "I do not accept your request, please leave the stage immediately."

Glory and the others wanted to continue arguing, but they saw Xia Wole coming up with the special training team to drive them away, so they had no choice but to walk off the stage.

As Glory returned to his seat, Joffrey, looking frightened, rushed to him like an ant on a hot pan.

Joffrey's body trembled constantly, his voice filled with tears. "We... what should we do? If the truth is revealed, we will all be doomed..."

"Shut up!" Glory growled impatiently.

After Joffrey's voice died down, Glory's mind began to race.

What is certain at the moment is that Song Yinjian must have known the truth of that year.

All his previous actions were just to confuse them, and today's case was also his clever plan.

After figuring all this out, Glory suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He considered himself a wise man. He had teamed up with Marcelle to force the great hero Cares to death. But in front of Song Yinjian, he was as ridiculous as an ant.

At this moment, there is no way out.

He took a deep breath, a fierce look flashed in his gloomy eyes, and he waved his hand, letting Joffrey come closer and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Joffrey's face turned pale as paper and his body trembled even more violently. "Captain Glory, this..."

He was obviously frightened by Glory's plan, and his heart was filled with hesitation and fear.

"If we fail, we will just enter Mello Petersburg. If we succeed, Fontaine will be ours." Glory's voice was filled with determination to fight to the death.

Joffrey gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.

Since I'm going to be imprisoned for life in Mellow Petersburg anyway, I might as well take a gamble.

Song Yinjian, standing in the dock, had a playful smile on his face and continued his story.

"That rainy night, ......"

His steady voice echoed in the opera house, gradually revealing the truth of that year to the audience.

When he finished his story, Marcelle, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, felt her hands and feet go cold, and her whole body collapsed on the chair.

All the audience were in deep shock and the entire opera house was silent.

However, besides being shocked, my heart was filled with doubts. What was the liquid that dissolved the killer's body, and who was the person who dissolved the body?

Song Yinjian didn't keep the secret. He turned to look at Glory, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, and asked with a smile, "Captain Glory, can you explain why you wanted to dissolve the killer's body?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Glory like a spotlight.

Facing everyone's doubts, Glory slowly stood up with a stern expression, "Where's the evidence? If you can't produce it, I will hold you accountable for slandering me!"

Chapter 245 The Trial of Marcelle

Song Yinjian smiled calmly, as if everything was under control. "Captain Glory, I don't have any physical evidence, but I do have witnesses."

"Witness? Where can we get witnesses? Not just anyone can serve as a witness!"

After learning that he had no physical evidence, Glory straightened his back and spoke with much more confidence.

Song Yinjian said calmly, "Besides Carles, Jacques, the killer, and you, there was actually another person who witnessed the entire process in secret. That person was Marcelle, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat."

When Glory heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

He thought that Marcelle was in the same boat with him, and no matter how stupid she was, she would not betray him.
