Chapter 126 Evidence
"Give up? Why?"
Liu Bai suddenly raised his hand to admit defeat, which surprised the audience.
Although they didn't really want a drug dealer who sold Lex to get away with it by winning a duel, why would he suddenly admit defeat when he was about to win?
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Liu Bai suddenly admit defeat, Clorinde, who was about to admit defeat, immediately looked at him.
"Oh, I was planning to lose anyway, and this isn't the way I wanted to duel."
Liu Bai shrugged and answered.
"Mr. Lerch, I have to confirm with you once again. Are you sure you want to give up the rights you have fought for?"
Navilette, who was sitting on the seat of the Supreme Judge, spoke to Liu Bai to confirm.
"No, hurry up and have the trial. I'm waiting to go to jail."
Liu Bai nodded and answered affirmatively, then jumped lightly back to the dock and stood next to Nashida.
Clorinde looked up at Villette's position, and after seeing him nod, she left the stage with a heavy heart.
What should have been a fantastic battle ended up like a farce, and the audience was left wanting more, so they could only look forward to the subsequent trial.
The trial officially began soon, and the prosecutor, Xia Wulei, began to describe to the audience the situation when he led the team to the beach, and used the batch of Le Si and letters found at that time as evidence for the prosecution.
"I need to refute the evidence you mentioned here. If it was really a deal, why bury Les in the sand?"
"And he brought so many people there. If it was really an illegal transaction, it must have been a meeting between the bigwigs of both sides. Why would he go to the trouble of leaving the letter in the box? Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Nashida immediately refuted the evidence presented by Xiawolei.
"Ms. Nashida, is your argument that this is a frame-up?"
After listening to Nashida's rebuttal, Violet pondered for a moment and then confirmed with her.
"So this evidence is indeed somewhat suspicious."
"Does it feel a bit... too deliberate?"
The audience below the stage couldn't help but talk about it.
"No, it can also be a transaction method where both parties agree on a transaction location, bury the goods, and then wait for the other party to arrive before digging them out and taking them back. This is safe and covert, and you don't have to worry about being caught."
Liu Bai touched his chin and thought for a while before speaking.
"...?"
Nashida folded her arms across her chest and looked back at Liu Bai with mixed feelings.
Are you so eager to go to jail?
“…I think he has a point.”
The prosecutor Xia Wole was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Liu Bai's statement.
"So does the defendant's attorney have anything to refute about the defendant's remarks?"
Then Villette had no choice but to continue asking Nashida according to the procedure.
"..."
Nashida suddenly wanted to just let Liu Bai go to jail.
But of course it was just a thought in her mind, she knew that Liu Bai could not be made to bear this crime.
Whether he cares or not is another matter, but once the charges are proven, it means that the person who actually sold Lex will be able to go unpunished.
"I think I need to refute his statement. If this method is really adopted, the fewer people there are, the more hidden and safer it will be. So it is impossible to bring dozens of Fatui with us."
"And regarding the letter found by the special patrol team... First of all, I don't think he would use such formal language in writing."
Nashida refuted after arranging her words, and was very sure about the last point.
"Okay, even if the above cannot prove that he had the box buried, how do you explain the clothes found at the scene?"
"Based on the identification information on the clothes, the security team confirmed that this person was involved in several illegal sales of Le Si a few days ago, but they were unable to find out where the goods came from."
"And he disappeared since that day, leaving only the clothes he wore that day. I have reason to suspect that he was killed by the Fatui."
Unable to prove that the box was buried by Liu Bai, Xia Wole had to present new evidence, which was the man who was responsible for cooperating with Liu Bai.
"..."
Seeing the evidence produced by Xiawolei, the businessman named Marcelle in the audience sneered.
He believed that this absolutely unsolvable evidence was enough to kill him.
In Inazuma's words, it is the "king's hand".
"I see. It's a well-designed trick, but it would take a brainless executive to fall for it..."
Nashida muttered softly, and Liu Bai, who was standing next to her, felt something was wrong when he heard her muttering.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to refute this evidence.
Nashida checked Liu Bai's belongings and found that the ink used on the letter in the box that Liu Bai received at Northland Bank that day was the type that would automatically disappear, and now there was not a single word on the paper.
There is almost no evidence to prove that Liu Bai was "invited" there. As for the reason of the "anti-drug team", it is even more untenable because they are a group of fools.
If it had been any other executive, I'm afraid no one would have paid any attention to the original letter.
"If Officer Xiawolei still has any memory, he should remember that there were more clothes left at the scene than just his. There were also clothes from members of the Fatui."
"So it wasn't the Fatui who killed people to silence them. It was someone else, and it also affected members of the Fatui."
Nashida thought for a while, then looked up at Xiawolei and explained.
"Defendant's attorney, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course. It just so happened that there was a Fatui who liked to take photos of the wild scenery that day. He used a video camera to record the whole process."
Facing Xiawolei's questioning, Nashida nodded, and an employee of the Northland Bank came forward behind her holding a camera.
It was impossible for such a coincidence that someone happened to be using a camera. Nashida simply found a different explanation for the fact that she read someone else's memory.
"Security team, project the evidence of the defense attorney."
Navrette gave orders to the security team.
This is the Oprykle Opera House, so naturally there is a film projector.
As the lights dimmed at the Opryk Opera House, the recorded footage was projected onto the stage curtain.
The video shows the entire process of Liu Bai catching the man from the perspective of a wind servant, including the moment when something on the man's body suddenly exploded after he was caught, and a strange liquid splashed onto the two debt handlers nearby.
Then the person in the picture dissolved, leaving only his clothes on the spot. The same thing happened to one of the debt collectors who was affected. He was dissolved into a pool of water and spilled on the beach.
"I must remind you that the Fatui member who was dissolved in the picture is a Fontaine, just like the other person."
After the image in the video recorder was finished, Nashida continued to remind.
"The people in the picture are dissolved into water... Wait, wait? Are we watching a movie?"
"They are all Fontaine people? What does that mean? Why were the Fontaine people dissolved? Why is the other Fatui okay?"
Some of the audiences under the stage found it hard to believe that what was on the screen was real, but it was so real.
"I think the scene just now can prove that the other party was not killed by the Fatui, right?"
"But I know this is not enough to prove the innocence of the Fatui, so I have prepared new evidence in the past few days."
"Can you please ask the security team to bring in the trembling witness hiding outside the opera house?"
After the video finished playing, Nashida continued to speak, and then asked the guards nearby.
The guard looked at Villette, and after getting his nod of confirmation, they turned and left.
Following Nashida's instructions, the security team quickly found a man squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and shivering outside the opera house.
Seeing this scene, the debt handlers who were watching on the side also left quietly. It was not appropriate for them to appear in the opera house.
In this way, the witness who was captured by the Fools these days was successfully brought to the opera house.
Marcelle: “…”
That was a regular member of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce.
But few people know that he is the real deputy of President Marcelle and is responsible for certain things.
"I'm very sorry, sir. Finding you required the Fatui to resort to some extraordinary means. If you mind, you can file a lawsuit against the Fatui later."
Nashida spoke to the captured witness.
