Chapter 327 Fontaine Public Opinion War (Page 12)
In Mumang Palace, Navilette returned to her desk. On the sofa on the other side, a girl in blue clothes and white hair was looking at the cakes and desserts in front of her with great interest.
Mumang Palace has the top pastry chef in Fontaine, and everything is served by the great water god Ms. Funina. Just so that she can enjoy her favorite pastries here in peace.
Looking at the girl enjoying the food comfortably, Villette didn't know whether to break the silence. After hesitating for a moment, he thought it would be better to say something. After all, the careless girl in front of him had the title of god.
"Aphroela has returned to Fontaine." Villette's voice rang in the office, and Funina stopped eating the cake.
Frowning, she struggled to swallow the cake in her mouth. Funina took another piece with her fork as if she didn't care: "Aphroola? Are you talking about Saphire? That guy will come back as soon as he comes back. Why is it so big?" reaction?"
"Aren't you worried about what she will do?" Villette stared at Funina, seeing all the panic and pretended calmness on her face.
Funina put down the tableware in her hand, picked up the drink, looked at it and put it down again: "I have no enmity with her, why should I worry about this? Tsk, today's cake is not delicious at all."
Lord Water God is brave. It doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart. At least he won't lose his reputation if he talks harshly.
Having already seen through the other party's thoughts, Villette sighed softly: "I always feel that this scene is a bit familiar."
"She is a guy who is good at playing with people's hearts. I...hum, it has nothing to do with me." Funina stood up and patted her butt and left. Villette looked at the half-eaten cake on the table and fell into deep thought.
More than ten years ago, in this office, Navilette and Funina had a conversation.
After the bloody fire case, the Shadow Court quickly dispatched to arrest Safire who showed no resistance. Because the entire case was clearly organized and there were almost no doubts, Safire had no room for argument.
Navilette and Funina knew the entire case process very well, so they only had to wait until they went to the Opéra Opéra to announce the details of the case during the trial.
But at this point, resistance emerged.
The servants of the Fools' Executives put pressure on Mumang Palace through their identities as the Buffati Mansion and the Winter Solstice Kingdom's diplomatic envoys, requesting a postponement of the trial date.
Villette was very puzzled by this. The evidence was already conclusive, so what was the point of postponing the trial? Could it be that they were planning to rescue Safire?
Although she did not understand, due to diplomatic relations, Navilette agreed to her request and the trial date was postponed.
The direct impact of this was that the nobles could no longer sit still and took to the streets to demand that Safier be tried and punished by law.
"They look like human beings, but in fact they are all rotten on the inside and are unsightly." Arecino made this comment while holding the wine glass and tasting the red wine in the glass.
Navilette did not agree or refute. In his opinion, human life is short, only a few decades, and there is no need to take it seriously.
After the request was fulfilled, Arecino left. Not long after, Fonina came back. When she came back, she puffed her cheeks and looked like a doormat, as if someone had offended her.
Villette was already used to being surprised by Funina like this. He calmly dealt with the matters at hand. Until the end of the processing, he raised his head and looked at Lord Water God who had been sitting here for a long time: "Ms. Funina, Are you unhappy today?"
Seeing that Villette finally noticed her, Funina stood up angrily: "Villette! Do you know what those people outside are saying?"
"I don't know, I didn't go out today." Villette shook his head slightly, indicating that he knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
Hearing Villette say that she didn't know anything, Funina became even more angry. She waved her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to express her emotions through intense body language: "They... they were all discussing the bloody case. Things, and then...then those people are all whitewashing the nobles' behavior and mindlessly smearing Safire."
"It must be the nobleman's method. He wants to use this method to promote the trial process." Navilette thought for a few seconds and understood the general situation.
Funina looked up at him: "Those people are so abominable! What are you going to do?"
"I'm not going to do anything." Villette was speechless to Funina. How could this guy be able to empathize with everyone? It's obviously nothing to do with her.
"Why is this so?" Funina pouted, thought for a moment, and then took out another copy of the Steam Bird newspaper, "What about this one? This needs to be dealt with, right?"
When Villette opened the newspaper, a report about the bloody fire case came into view. The title was very gimmick: ""Two families, forty-six people were wiped out! Is the life of Fontaine so cheap?!"
Frowning, Villette read on patiently, and the following content was as expected.
"Three days have passed since the bloody incident. All the members of the Shadow Court at the crime scene have been withdrawn. All walks of life are extremely concerned about this incident and are looking forward to the arrival of judgment day. However, to our disappointment, the murderer He has not shown up yet, and there has been no response from Mumang Palace. Can we think that this is Mumang Palace's cover for the murderer?
……
As we all know, the victims this time, Baron ■■ and ■■■, are both people who have made outstanding contributions to Fontaine. How can we protect the safety of our lives and property by protecting such a vicious murderer? Will such behavior chill the general public?
Our newspaper will continue to follow up on the report on this incident and urge the Fontainebleau to give the general public a reasonable outcome to relieve public outrage.
Our reporters will continue to report for you. "
The whole article is full of coercion, infinitely expanding the influence, not mentioning anything about the actions of the murdered nobles, and even tending to whitewash it. At this point in time, Mumang Palace cannot speak out, otherwise it is very likely to be slapped with a release Victim-guilt theory, which puts them at a great disadvantage.
The people's emotions were ignited, and the streets and alleys were filled with curses, which gave Navilette a headache.
This undoubtedly put him on the fire. Now, the only way is to pretend to be dead and deal with it coldly. Everything will be revealed when the judgment day comes. Before that, he could not reveal any information about the case.
Villette could sit still, but Funina couldn't bear it. She paced back and forth in Mumang Palace like an aggressive rooster every day, but didn't want to go out because she didn't want to hear the voices of public opinion anymore.
Being maliciously guided in public opinion has already given Navilette a headache. Then, an even bigger headache happened. Safir's detention period had passed and the judgment day had not yet arrived, so he could no longer detain him.
But it was inappropriate for her to return to the Bufati Mansion like this. In the eyes of interested people, this was a collusion and cover-up. If she was photographed and published again, he would not dare to think about what the rhythm of public opinion would be tomorrow.
Just when he was in distress, a name appeared in his mind, the leader of the Thorny Rose Society: Kares.
Mumang Palace cannot detain Safier, nor can he return her to the mansion, so the most reasonable way is to place her under residential surveillance. It may be better to find a hotel to lock her up, or find a third party to put her there. That's fine.
