Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 54 Chang Ming's Analysis of the Case

Following Villette's order, several security guards standing at the entrance of the opera house immediately took action.

Soon, the confused and stunned Marcelle was sent to the position of "the accused".

Looking at Marcelle standing opposite him, Chang Ming slightly exerted force on the hand holding the cane, as if to express his emotions.

The charisma of Carles is not reflected too much in the game, but when Chang Ming really became friends with this gentleman who refused the title of "Count" granted by the Mo Mang Palace...

Only then did he truly realize where the success of the Rose Thorn Society and the previous prosperity of Baisong Town came from.

To be honest, if this wasn't Fontaine, if he didn't need to care about the so-called "rules" and the possible "correction" logic that might exist in this world, he really wanted to rush up and beat this guy up.

But...this is just an emotional expression.

His position did not allow him to do so, and even if he did, it would not solve any problems, but would instead be bitten back by the other party.

By then... neither Carres nor he would be able to wash clear even if they jumped into the Dorain River.

"call..."

Chang Ming took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and waited for Villette to announce the opening of the court.

Villette looked at Marcelle, who was still somewhat confused, and asked loudly:

"Mr. Marcelle, you don't need an attorney, do you?"

"Ah... Sorry, it happened so suddenly that I haven't figured out what happened yet."

After that, he held his chin, glanced at Navia and Chang Ming with a thoughtful look, and then continued to respond:

"I don't think it's necessary. Navia... and the Regent must have misunderstood something."

After receiving Marcelle's definite reply, Navelette nodded and announced:

"Okay, now that all the members of both parties involved in the trial are here, please allow the prosecution to present their views."

Hearing this, Navia lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said loudly:

"This matter needs to be traced back to the case of "Injustice Kares" three years ago."

"Only by finding out the truth of that incident can we connect the entire "serial disappearance of girls" case."

It seemed that Navia's words and Chang Ming's special aura made Marcelle feel a little uncomfortable. He immediately frowned and retorted:

"You don't think I was the one who did what happened to Mr. Cares?"

"I have no reason at all. Mr. Carres is my benefactor. Besides, you and I rushed out after hearing the gunshots."

"If I am a suspect, then everyone present at the time should be a suspect, right?"

Upon hearing this, Finina frowned, because even her memory of that case was only the "duel" and the result, not to mention the audience who watched for fun every day.

Thinking of this, she nodded slightly and said:

"I don't think we need to rush to discuss this. The audience may not know much about the case yet... Even I can't quite remember the process of the case."

Hearing what Funina said, Chang Ming looked up at Villette and said softly:

"That's right, Mr. Grand Inquisitor. We need to make everyone present remember the whole story before giving our explanation."

As if sensing the confused and bewildered gazes from the audience, Villette agreed to the proposal without much thought.

"Okay, given this situation, let me give you a complete account based on the investigation of the Law Enforcement Court that year."

After that, Villette picked up a rather thick notebook from his hand, flipped through a few pages, and then said:

"On the day of the incident, the Thorn Rose Society and its guests held a banquet in the wild, at a manor belonging to the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce."

"During the party, all the guests heard two gunshots outside the house."

"When everyone arrived, the suspect, Carres, was holding a gun, and Jacques, who was meeting him, was shot and killed."

"After investigating the scene, the security team members did not find any other firearms, so they believed that the suspect's first shot missed and the second shot killed Jacques."

"None of these inferences were denied by the suspect, and he did not contest them, choosing to prove his honor through a duel."

"In the duel, the suspect was defeated by the "duel agent" Clorinde and died afterwards."

Snapped--

With a rather heavy closing sound, Villette ended her statement.

“That’s the overall situation of this case.”

After a brief review, Navia felt that the audience's eyes had become serious, so she said:

"Thank you for the statement, Grand Inquisitor. In our eyes, this inference was obviously the most likely one."

“But after learning that the water of the original fetal sea could dissolve the Fontaine people, the situation changed drastically.”

After saying that, Navia turned her gaze to Chang Ming, signaling him to speak.

After all... he is her agent, and with Chang Ming's more than 400 years of experience, his words represent credibility.

No matter when, the reaction of the audience is crucial, because it concerns the judgment of the "Cardinal of Instructions and Judgments", so Chang Ming is the most suitable spokesperson for this kind of link that requires reasoning.

As if he understood Navia's meaning, Chang Ming tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and then began to speak:

"During the course of the investigation, Jacques' family members were willing to testify in court that they believed... Jacques received an order to kill Carres on that day."

"Although he himself was a little hesitant about this, it was confirmed that Jacques was indeed likely to kill Carres that day."

"Perhaps his inner reason and morality overwhelmed this immoral order. In the end, he did not do so. Instead, he chose to confess everything to Kallei in order to seek protection from the Thorn Rose Society."

"But Jacques's dilemma was clearly seen by the mastermind behind the scenes, so another person was sent to prevent Jacques from turning against him."

"According to Florent, the advisor of the Thorn Rose Society, Carres did not carry any firearms when he went out that day. He is willing to testify in court and bear the consequences."

"In the search files of the security team three years ago, there was a set of clothes of unknown origin that caught everyone's attention. But at that time, the security team thought that it was the clothes that Jacques used to disguise his identity, but now it seems that this is not the case."

"The first gunshot in the case should have come from the 'third person' prepared by the mastermind. He first shot and killed Jacques who would reveal the secret, but when the gun was turned to Carres... he was killed instead by someone who took the gun away. "

"In order to protect himself, Carres had to fire his gun, and this... was the second gunshot."

"It was raining heavily in Fontaine on the day of the incident, which means...if the mastermind used the water of the original fetal sea to dissolve the "third person", all the truth would be washed away by the rainstorm."

"From today's perspective...those suspicious clothes of unknown origin have become irrefutable evidence that the 'third person' was dissolved."

"In summary, the mastermind used the water of the primordial fetal sea and the rainstorm to hide his methods of committing the crime, and put the blame on...Cares."
