Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Did you hear? The phantom thief Pelican has been caught!

Really? Where did you hear that? Is it so easy to catch the Phantom Thief Pelican? He escaped from the guards several times before.

Of course it's true! It is said that the phantom thief Pelican caused a big trouble this time. He stole 11 precious cultural relics from the Temon Museum. Each of them is a priceless treasure! Moreover, even the special patrol team was alarmed. It would be strange if the phantom thief Pelican was not caught!

Hehe! The water here is not so shallow! I heard that it was a member of the special patrol team who suggested to gather all the forces in the society and let more people help solve the case. That’s why the phantom thief Pelican was caught in a short time.

A month is still considered a short time? Do you know how scared I was during this month, afraid that one day I would go home and find my home invaded by thieves?

No, you are not my brother. You can fool your brother, but don't fool yourself. How much property can a mouse living in Gray River have?

Damn it! Are you looking for a fight?

Come if you want, who’s afraid of who?

……

It has been a month since the theft at the Termon Museum.

During this month, except for the first week when there was no progress in the case, Fontaine officials gradually obtained many clues during the rest of the time.

In order to solve the case faster and give the people of Fontaine a peaceful life, Donatello chose to take an unconventional approach after hesitating.

This is his implementation of his own philosophy, he will never allow justice to be delayed!

So, Donatello told reporters some inside information about the case, and with the help of the people, he caught the Phantom Thief Pelican.

He was a young man, a high-spirited and very confident young man.

Even when surrounded by the Special Patrol and Security Teams, the Phantom Thief Pelican showed no fear.

He kept smiling and confessed what he had done.

The Phantom Thief Pelican admitted that he did everything, except the sword that was lost from the Temon Museum. All the others were made by him.

So far, one of the two main culprits in the theft case of the Termon Museum has been arrested, and the remaining gang is currently missing.

However, Donatello, the hero who solved the case, did not receive rewards and promotions, but instead received punishment and trial.

This day came very quickly, not long after the Phantom Thief Pelican was caught. Moreover, this incident left a deep impression on Donatello's daughter, Sciavole, and had a great impact on her.

【He is a good and honest man.】

In little Sciavole's memory, her mother, neighbors, colleagues, and even the children next door all evaluated her father Donatello in this way.

But on this day, Donatello's colleagues, who always praised him for his integrity, suddenly visited Sciavole's home.

The mother watched them coming and going in the house at a loss. Little Xiawore stayed in the room, but she still vaguely guessed from the quarrel outside the house that her father had become the "criminal" he had been pursuing, and was now awaiting trial and was likely to be exiled to Melelo Petersburg.

"Dad...did something wrong?"

She asked the unfamiliar adults around her this question.

The other party choked for a long time and replied:

"...But he is an upright law enforcer."

Donatello, a righteous sinner.

After the arrest, the court trial followed.

We don't know the trial process, we only know the final verdict.

[…Mr. Donatello, according to the court’s investigation, you have violated the rules of the security team and leaked the information of a serious case, so you will be sentenced to exile to Melo Petersburg.]

【Do you have any objection? 】

The Inquisitor asked.

In response, Donatello shook his head without any objection.

So, the hero who solved the case became a prisoner in an instant.

His crime was merely a violation of the rules, but the court could not reveal which one it was, or the people behind it were too lazy to do so.

Therefore, even if the best storyteller in Fontaine was invited, it would be difficult to explain to a child why a suspect who was pointed out to be guilty by all evidence was not convicted for a long time; why everyone remained silent when an innocent law enforcer was framed; why many people who clearly saw the crime were unwilling to tell the truth; and why the framed must pay the price of their own future and reputation in order to invite justice.

What is even more difficult to explain is why the performance of a just and good deed must be paved with a crime.

But for little Xia Wole, the more tangible experience was the sudden change in life after the whole family moved into "Gray River".

A cramped house, not-so-delicious food, friends I can no longer contact, and an increasingly tired mother... although my father's colleagues often come to visit in casual clothes, bringing all kinds of things.

They told the mother that everyone was working hard to appeal for Mr. Donatello, not only members of the Guard and Special Patrol, but even several rehabilitation officers who were familiar with them also participated in the appeal. Although it was clear that Mr. Donatello had violated the law and his sentence could not be reduced from a legal perspective, they would at least ensure that Mr. Donatello would not be criticized any further.

But even so, her mother was still worried every day. In order to take care of her mother, Xia Wulei took on the responsibility that she didn't need to bear at such a young age without hesitation, and stepped into the deep undercurrent of the Gray River.

The changes that happened in her family when she was young will change little Chavore's life. Deeply influenced by her father, she knows that there is also filth hidden behind the law. She deeply feels the injustice and will embark on a path that is similar to but different from her father Donatello!

Know the law and enforce the law, and punish the guilty impartially!

……

Momang Palace.

Regarding the matter of the hero who solved the theft case of the Temon Museum becoming a criminal, Finina specifically told Peruvian about it. She wanted to hear what this smart child would think.

After a month of getting along, Funina realized that little Pepe is not only cute, but also very smart. She has her own unique insights and a mature set of cognitive concepts.

Although Pepe looks small, he is actually a little adult.

"Little Pepe, what do you think? Donatello was clearly the hero who solved this case, but because he violated the rules, not only was his credit taken away, he was also exiled to Melo Petersburg. Isn't this too unfair to him?"

Finina hugged Peruvian from behind, she put one hand on Peruvian's head and stroked it gently.

Furninna likes to touch Peruvian's head.

"I have no idea……"

Peruvian shook her head and said.

"But I think this may be a loophole in the judicial process. Sister Finina, I have read the regulations of the security team. Although Mr. Donatello violated the regulations, he would not be sentenced so severely, unless..."

"Someone in the security team doesn't want him to have an easy life, or someone in the Law Enforcement Court and the Shadow Chasing Court doesn't like Mr. Donatello. I think Mr. Donatello must have been slandered and accused of many unfounded crimes."

"Hmm! As expected of little Pepe, so smart."

As usual, Furninha gave a compliment, then she changed the subject and stopped talking about it.

Peruvian was very smart and guessed the key to the matter at once. That was why Funina was unwilling to talk more. She didn't want Peruvian to be exposed to the darkness too early.

but……

Peruvian was already in darkness.
