Navilette questioned Funina: "The evidence you provided can reasonably explain your suspicion, but how do you explain Carres' abnormal behavior? Why didn't he stand up and accuse Vash of his crimes, but chose to duel to escape trial?"
"It's simple, because the other party has accurately grasped the weak spot of Carles, that is, his daughter, Navia."
"Once Carres tells the truth, Vashey will attack Carres' family. He had no choice but to use his own death to protect his family. Although this is quite stupid, we are not qualified to criticize a father's choice from the perspective of a bystander."
"Claulinde, you are Cares's duel opponent. Do you think that in the duel, Cares really wanted to exonerate himself?"
Clorinde shook her head. "I swear on my honor. Mr. Carres fought me with the determination to die. He had countless opportunities to admit defeat, but he still chose the most radical way of fighting."
Villette sighed heavily. "Ms. Funina, your guess is quite reasonable, but... there is no one named Vashé in Fontaine. Your argument is of no substance at all."
Funina smiled softly, "Humph~ Indeed, there is no one named Vashie in Fontaine, but! Vashie himself is here right now!"
She pointed at Marcelle in the dock, "Him! It's Vashé!"
Marcelle took a step back, the corners of her mouth trembling.
"What a joke! I have been in Fontaine for many years. People who know me know that I am just an ordinary businessman. I have never heard of Vashé! Lady Funina, please don't slander me!"
Villette also frowned and warned, "Ms. Funina, this is a very serious accusation! If you cannot provide conclusive evidence, the other party can sue you for defamation."
"Yes! I'm going to sue her for defamation!"
Marcelle quickly caught up with the output.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of repenting and was still trying to be stubborn, Funina became more and more angry.
She clenched her fists and glanced at Sherlock secretly, as if she was hesitating about something.
Lu Sheng nodded towards Funina.
Furninna's thoughts went back to the time before the court session. She asked Sherlock, "Do we really want to do this? Isn't it a bit too cruel?"
Sherlock replied: "A kind person can never be a good leader. Sometimes when you care too much about other people's feelings, you lose yourself."
Being too kind will only lead to being bullied.
Swish!
Funina took out the photo of the girl she found in Vashé's notebook and shouted to Marcelle, "Well, since you don't admit that you are Vashé, then you won't mind if I burn this photo, right?"
As she spoke, she lit a match and placed the photo on the jumping flames.
Marcelle was horrified, her eyes wide open, and she roared, "No! No way!"
"Lady Funina! Don't do that! I admit it! I admit it all! I plead guilty! I am Vashé! The factory is mine! I made Les! I killed the missing girl! I also sent someone to kill Jacques! Please! Give me back the photo! It was the last thing that Vignelle left for me!"
Fontaine: Chapter 160: Verdict
"Are you finally admitting it?"
"Yes! I plead guilty!" Marcelle begged bitterly, "I did all the things you said! I am Vash! Please! Put out the fire quickly!"
Furninna blew out the flames and pressed the issue, "Tell us everything you have done in front of the court of justice. Let all the people of Fontaine know what evil things you have done!"
Marcelle fell to her knees with a thud, covering her face and crying.
A very familiar picture.
Lu Sheng felt as if the confession music played every time the real murderer was exposed in Conan was ringing in his ears.
"More than 20 years ago... I was still Vashé, a passionate adventurer who loved to go on adventures... I ventured all the way to Fontaine, and during one of my adventures in Fontaine, I met Vignelle... She was also a member of the Adventurer's Association, and she liked painting, adventure, and cooking... I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, so I proposed the idea of going on an adventure with her, and unexpectedly she readily agreed."
"My adventures with Vinel were the happiest times of my life... She was so innocent, kind, lively and lovely, and our feelings quickly warmed up and developed into lovers."
"But one day, Weniel suddenly got tired of adventures. She said she wanted to have a family of her own with me, give birth to a cute boy, and tell him stories about our adventures when we were young... But... But I still wanted to take risks. I told her that this was the last time, and when I came back, I would marry her and live the life of my dreams with her..."
"Who could have thought that in this last adventure, we would discover the original fetal sea water in the underwater cave of Fontaine, and Vinier...she just turned around and disappeared in front of me!"
Marcelle cried even louder and pounded the ground, hating herself for being so stubborn.
"I just... I just want Vinel to come back to me!!! That's all!!!"
Furninna no longer felt pity for Marcelle. She only saw him as pathetic and hateful. "So that's why you killed so many innocent girls?"
"That's right... After I discovered the effect of the original fetal sea water, I have been trying my best to revive Venier, but this sea water is only effective on Fontaine people, and I can only capture Fontaine people for experiments. Hehe... It may be a bit perverted, but when I see those parents who lost their daughters and men who lost their lovers fall into grief, I suddenly feel that I am not so painful."
"You beast! No! You are worse than a beast! You take pleasure in the suffering of others! Is this something a human being can do?"
Navia roared out of control. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She could understand every word Marcelle said, so why was it so difficult to understand when they were put together?
"What about my father? What about Jacques? What did they do wrong?"
Marcelle raised her head and smiled bitterly, "Because they blocked my path. During my research, I found that diluted original fetal sea water can make people extremely happy. This kind of happiness is highly addictive, which is Le Si."
"As you know, the experiment requires a lot of equipment and funds. I didn't have that much money, so I started selling Lex. Unexpectedly, the business was so good, so I changed my name to Marcelle, got in touch with the Thorn Rose Society, opened up channels as a businessman, and secretly sold Lex."
"Unfortunately, that old man Cares insisted on banning the sale of Les, and tried every means to obstruct me. He also instigated that bastard Jacques to rebel. I had no choice but to take the initiative and kidnap Jacques's family, demanding that he kill Cares at the banquet. I didn't expect that this bastard didn't even care about the lives of his family. I had no choice but to send an assassin to kill them both. It turned out that the assassin was a waste. He only killed Jacques, and Cares took the gun and killed him."
"Although I used the original fetal sea water to dissolve the killer, I was afraid that Kares would tell the truth and cause the court to investigate. So I used some tricks to meet with the imprisoned Kares and threatened your life to force him to confess."
"Hahaha! That old guy is really obedient. As expected, family affection makes people vulnerable. This sentence is suitable for everyone, even me..."
Marcelle's testimony was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.
"Fuck you! Bastard! Go to hell!"
"Death penalty! Burn him! No! Lingchi! Cannonballing! Dismemberment!"
"Dissolve him!!!"
Marcelle suddenly laughed like crazy, "Hahahaha! Dissolve? Dissolve me? If I could dissolve, I would have seen my beloved long ago! But I'm not from Fontaine! I'm not! I can't dissolve!!! Why! Why am I not from Fontaine! Ahhhhh!!!"
He lost his mind and made up his mind to commit suicide by jumping from the high dock.
Villette fired a Dragon King Cannon, sending him flying, which acted as a buffer, and only left him half dead from the fall.
The guards immediately rushed forward and held him down.
"Let me go! Let me die! Let me die!!!"
"Mr. Marcelle... please respect the rules of the Inquisition. Your guilt can only be determined by the Cardinal of the Inquisition."
Click!
The cardinal's scales instantly tilted to the right, declaring Marcelle's defeat.
Then, a blue light quickly passed along the ruling cardinal and handed the trial result to Navilette.
Navilette took the result and read it, then pronounced the verdict solemnly: "The cardinal's decree is - Marcelle, guilty! Sentenced to... death! The execution is suspended for 100 years. Marcelle, the sinner, you will spend the rest of your life in agony in the prison of Melo Petersburg."
At first, some people protested why such people were not executed immediately.
But soon someone realized that death was the real relief for him. His sin was to make his remaining days a living hell, which would only make people feel relieved.
"Let me die! Let me die! Why don't you let me die!"
Marcelle was dragged away by the guards amidst the frantic roars.
"Lady Funina! Give me back the photo! If you don't want me to die, please give me back the last thing that Vinel left for me! I can't live without her!"
In the end, Marcelle begged Fernina desperately.
Furninha shook her head and burned the photo to ashes in front of him.
"A kind and innocent girl like Vinier would never want to see you again. Every time you think of her, it is an insult to her! Go away and go to that cell that will never see the light of day to atone your sins!"
With despair and heartbreak, Marcelle was forcibly dragged away and sent to an underwater prison to serve her sentence.
"Long live Lady Funina!"
Lu Sheng suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yes! Without Lady Furninna, the truth will never come to light! Long live Lady Furninna!"
"Long live Lady Finina! Long live the God of Water!"
The audience, still unsatisfied, cheered, pushing Funina's popularity to an unprecedented peak.
The divine power displayed in the newspapers, coupled with the interlocking reasoning, debates and chain of evidence in this trial, has completely changed the stereotype that Funina can only sing and dance on the stage.
If someone jumped out at this moment and said that Funina was a fake water god, the people of Fontaine would definitely be the first to rush up and slap that person twice and then spit in his face.
Lu Sheng was quite satisfied with Funina's performance this time.
She is indeed no longer the timid person she used to be.
Especially the act of burning the photos at the end, which already showed the indifference and majesty that a ruler should have.
Finina enjoyed the support and cheers of her people.
It was a completely different experience from the applause I usually receive after a performance.
This is a cheer for the water goddess Fernina, not Fernina the actress.
Fontaine: Chapter 161: Sixty-nine Style
The trial of Marcelle came to an end. Fontaine solved the serial disappearance of girls that had troubled people for more than 20 years, and the people of the whole city were immersed in joy.
Parents no longer have to worry about their precious daughters meeting with unexpected disasters, and teenagers no longer have to fear that their close lovers will suddenly disappear without a trace.
But some are happy while others are sad. In the Momang Palace, Villette was feeling overwhelmed by the appearance of the original fetal sea water.
What the mysterious girl said that day, and the sudden appearance of the original fetal sea water that could dissolve the Fontaine people, all proved one thing.
The prophecy in the Fontaine legend may really come true.
According to observations in recent years, the sea level has indeed risen significantly in some places.
If a disaster does happen, how should we respond?
That Villette called Fernina to ask the water god's opinion.
"What do you want from me, Lord Chancellor?"
As soon as Funina received the news, she rushed to the office.
Villette went straight to the point and asked, "How much do you know about the prophecy that Fontaine will be flooded?"
"The prophecy... I heard it a long time ago. It says that the sea water in Fontaine will rise, and I will cry alone on the throne."
"No? You don't seem to care at all about it."
Finina sighed and said, "Alas, who knows what the prophecy is like. If the whole country is led by a prophecy, it will be the end of it."
Navilette reminded, "But the sea level rise and the discovery of primordial fetal sea water are all facts. We can't take the lives of the people of an entire country as a joke."
"Don't worry, I will never let the prophecy happen. I am the God of Water, an omnipotent god! You want me to cry? How is that possible! I have never shed a tear since I was born!"
Seeing that Funina was so confident, Violet was still a little worried, "We have to do something, just in case."
"Yes, we should do something, so... I have ordered people to build a ship."
"shipbuilding?"
"Yes, according to the prophecy, the sea level will rise at that time. As long as we get everyone on the boat, won't everything be fine?"
"Is this the solution? It is not a bad method...By the way, is there any new information about Sherlock's investigation? You seem to have a good relationship with him. He is willing to be your duel agent."
Fu Nina smiled awkwardly, "Of course, I'm here in person. With my charm, who wouldn't be impressed by my beauty?"
Navilette: "..."
"To be honest, there's nothing to investigate about him. He's just an ordinary guy with great strength."
"Just very strong? I think he's a little too strong..." A trace of worry flashed across Villette's eyes. "But it doesn't matter. Since he has a good relationship with you, I think at least he won't harm Fontaine. I will visit him in person later."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There are still many reporters waiting to interview me outside."
When Funina walked out of the office, her face suddenly became gloomy.
She was also very worried about what Fontaine predicted, but she could only pretend to be relaxed in front of Villette.
This is a matter concerning the survival of the country, and she, Funina, cannot bear such a huge responsibility.
No matter how much he hypnotizes himself, power will not appear out of thin air, and the authority of the Water God will never be exerted from his body.
After dealing with the reporters, I still have to find Sherlock and ask him what to do next.
Black Cat Detective Agency.
When Lu Sheng returned home and just sat down, before his butt could even warm up, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent of perfume.
A beautiful face instantly appeared in his mind.
