Chapter 124 Trial
"Miss, I think you may have made a mistake. We are just here for a company team building."
Facing this stern special patrol team captain, Liu Bai took the initiative to step forward and explain.
"Oh? Then please get checked."
The young girl answered expressionlessly, obviously not believing Liu Bai's words, but she still put down the weapon temporarily. Of course, she was the only one who put it down.
The work of the special patrol team includes arresting criminals that the security team cannot handle. After confirming that the report is true, she immediately led people here, including some members of the security team and a number of security agencies.
Precisely because she had the support of a large number of security agencies, she was able to adopt a tough attitude when facing more than seventy Fatui.
"That won't work. They have their own privacy too. All of you step back."
Liu Bai said this and raised his hand and waved it backwards.
Upon seeing this, the debt handler immediately took a step back and entered invisible mode, while the remains of his companions on the ground had already been collected by them.
The firefly mages and servants also understood, took a step back and disappeared instantly.
For these elite Fatui, the means of preserving their lives are still very powerful. Unless the gap in strength is too great, it is generally impossible to catch them.
In just a moment, Liu Bai was the only Fatui left on the shore.
"Damn it...you're under arrest."
Even Xia Wole, the captain of the special patrol team, couldn't stop so many Fatui, so he had to point his rifle at Liu Bai again.
Liu Bai shrugged and did not resist.
After catching Liu Bai, Xia Wole ordered others to search the surrounding area for evidence.
The first thing I noticed was the clothes on the ground and the parasol next to it...
There was some identifying information of this person left on the clothes. The other party was an employee of a store in Fontaine.
"Ok?"
Xia Wole observed for a while beside the parasol and found that the sand here, in addition to being pressed by people lying on it, also had some unnatural traces.
She immediately asked the security agency to dig up the sand and found a box buried underneath.
After opening the box, Xiawolei found a batch of bottles that looked like drinks.
"This smell... is definitely Le Si."
After sniffing the bottle, Xiawolei immediately confirmed the contents of the box.
Considering her age, she has only been the captain of the special patrol team for a short time, but she has been investigating the case of the [Le Si] transaction.
In addition, there was a letter in the box, which Xiawolei read carefully.
The content of the letter was very simple, it was basically saying that the Fatui were very satisfied with the last cooperation and provided a new batch of goods this time...
"I see……"
"They don't want to cooperate, they want to put the blame for drug trafficking on the Fatui..."
Looking at what Xia Wole found, even though Liu Bai was not very smart, he understood the other party's purpose.
Given the reputation of the fools, this kind of frame-up is quite easy for people to believe.
……
"Speaking of which, I heard on the way here just now that you have been singing since you were locked up?"
Nashida came to the place where Liu Bai was temporarily detained before the prosecution began, and spoke to Liu Bai somewhat helplessly.
"Uh-huh."
"Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains..."
Liu Bai nodded, and then showed his singing voice to Nashida.
Listening to Liu Bai's singing, Nashida's ears drooped instinctively. If possible, she wanted to close her ears. And she also understood why the guards outside were discussing his singing.
"Alright, alright. The police will file a lawsuit in a week. I will be your defense attorney then."
"I have learned about what happened at the Northland Bank. Now the Fatui of Fontaine are fully operational. I think no matter how deep the mastermind is hiding, he can't escape. You can rest assured."
Seeing that Liu Bai seemed to have no intention of stopping until he finished singing, Nashida quickly covered his mouth and explained to him.
"Wait girl, don't defend me, I want to go to Melo Petersburg."
Hearing that Nashida was going to defend himself, Liu Bai quickly pulled Nashida's hand away and explained.
The reason why he let the elite members of the Fatui leave without resisting was that he wanted to use this opportunity to enter Melopenerburg and meet the Duke.
"Idiot, even if you want to go to that place to meet him, at least find something lighter. Lex is a banned drug. If the charge is proven, the sentence will probably be more than just jail time."
Liu Bai's idea made Nashida a little angry. She put her hands on her hips and spoke to him unhappily.
"It doesn't matter. I've been betrayed and exiled, but I'm still fine."
Liu Bai waved his hand indifferently.
As long as he wanted to leave, there was no way Mello Petersburg could keep him.
"Anyway, I won't allow it. Don't even think about spending a single day in jail."
Seeing that Liu Bai still had the same idea, Nashida turned her head away angrily.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you..."
Seeing that Nashida looked a little angry, Liu Bai had no choice but to nod obediently and gave up the idea temporarily.
……
A week later, the security team filed a public prosecution with the court.
The illegal sale of music is considered a serious crime in Fontaine. For the people of Fontaine who like to watch the fun, it is certainly not to be missed, so the Opiclay Opera House was packed that day.
The target of this public prosecution trial is the executor of the Fatui, so the status of the prosecutor cannot be too low, but there is no particularly suitable person to take up the post, and in the end, only Xia Wulei, the captain of the special patrol team, can attend.
The defense attorney for the defendant was Nashida from Xumi.
As the chief judge finished reading out the details before the trial began, Liu Bai and Nashida also walked up to the dock.
Recently, Narcida has frequently appeared at the Oprykle Opera House, helping many people to get out of prison as a free lawyer.
At present, Nashida's success rate in helping to defend is 100%, and she can be said to be a rising star in the defense field.
In addition, her identity as the Xumi Little Auspicious Grass King has been recognized, and she is now quite popular in the Opikley Opera House. It's a pity that she did not take the lawyer's license examination.
However, although her success rate in defending people and getting them off the hook is as high as 100%, it is not that Nashida distorts right and wrong and claims that guilty people are innocent. In fact, she knows who is truly guilty by interpreting other people's hearts.
She will not defend those who are actually guilty, only those who should be found innocent.
"Wait, Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, you are the god of Xumi, are you going to excuse a winter executive who sells illegal drugs?"
Before the trial began, a merchant named Marcelle in the audience stood up and asked Nashida.
"Uncle Marcelle..."
Next to him, a woman with golden hair, dressed like a noble lady, couldn't help but hold him back.
"Your point of view is based on the premise that he is guilty. If he is not guilty, then your point of view does not hold."
Nashida answered calmly.
"Keep quiet. Now that both parties have arrived, the trial will officially begin."
Sitting in the position of the chief judge, the majestic chief judge glanced at Liu Bai and Nashida, and then announced the start of the trial.
"Mr. Lerch, do you have any objection to the prosecution filed by the police?"
After the trial began, Navilet looked in the direction of Liu Bai and Nashida and asked.
"Wait, didn't they say that I could prove my innocence by duel before the trial? I want a duel!"
Before Nashida could speak, Liu Bai immediately raised his hand and spoke.
"..."
Nashida was about to say something when she crossed her arms and looked at Liu Bai with some resentment.
"…The defendant's appeal is a legitimate one. Please prepare your duel agents."
Navrette paused, then nodded in agreement.
The duel before the trial actually had one thing that bothered Navillatte, which was that if the criminal really had the power to defeat the dueling agent, but had actually committed a crime, then how could justice be maintained?
The only thing to be thankful for is that this situation has basically never happened. Most people were easily defeated by duel agents, and the few masters who were able to defeat duel agents were later proven to be innocent.
