Play Speak
At daybreak, the filming crew gathered again, but there was one person missing today: Safire, the assistant director, did not come.
"Huh? Saphir didn't come today?" Funina looked around and looked at Ying with some confusion, "Did she say anything to you this morning?"
Ying shook her head: "She didn't go back to sleep yesterday. I don't know what happened."
"Maybe something delayed him." Kamisato Ayaka speculated.
Finina nodded, feeling that what Kamisato Ayaka said made sense.
No one thought much about it. After all, the script revision had already been completed, so it didn't matter if Safire didn't come.
Several people quickly started the next shooting work.
By this time, Saphir had already arrived at the Momang Palace and was sitting on the sofa in Villette's office.
Looking at the yawning girl who was drinking her coffee slowly, Villette raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So, what is the purpose of Ms. Safir's visit today?"
"I'm here to bring you money." Safier put down his coffee cup and rubbed his eyes.
She looked at the account book for a long time last night and felt a little dizzy and not in a good mental state.
Of course, these are just psychological effects. With her physique, she would have no problem fighting at high intensity for several years, but looking at that thing would make people feel tired, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
She took out a stack of asset certificates and a check and placed them on the table. "A man named Morris committed a crime. I found some evidence of his crime and then disposed of it. Here, this is his property. I sent it to you."
"Ms. Safire, I need to tell you that you, the Fatui, have no right to deal with the Fontaine people. When you encounter such a situation, you should notify the guard team instead of dealing with it directly." Villette's tone became more serious.
Fontaine really needed the money, but he could not accept the way Safire handled it.
Saphir scratched his hair in boredom: "I know, but what if the other party is the Fatui?"
"What?" Villette was stunned. He didn't understand what Safir meant.
Safir didn't play dumb with him and said directly, "That man is from the Fatui. It's not against the rules for me to deal with him, right? After all, it's our internal affairs. I only sent these things to you because of his identity as a Fontaine. After all, his problem is tax evasion."
Morris is a member of the Fatui, although he just joined two hours ago.
Saphir's words left Villette silent. If it was an internal matter of the Fatui, it really was not his turn to intervene.
After thinking for a while, he pushed these things towards Saphir and said, "In this case, you don't need to inform me, and these things don't need to be confiscated. In other words, this is the property of you fools."
Seeing the property being pushed in front of her again, Safir did not accept it. She said, "I'll give you the property and I'll take over his theater resources. If you feel bad about it, you can choose to turn a blind eye to the following events."
"What are you going to do?" Villette didn't know exactly what was going on, so he felt it necessary to ask.
Safire did not hide anything and directly told the story of the gun murder case.
"That's it. Morris committed murder. Logically, he should be tried, but you know, I don't like too formal a treatment.
I intend to hand over the disposal rights to the two children, but this is Fontaine, I have to give you face. I can guarantee that no news will be released to the public through any channel.
Grand Inquisitor... can you please give me a favor?" Saphir changed to a more comfortable sitting position and looked at Villette leisurely.
No one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do. The reason she came to inform in advance was to give face to Villette.
That Villette took a deep breath: "You are offering a bribe."
"How can it be considered bribery? At most... a procedural crime? But I'm not a member of the security team. Procedural crimes... these are the procedures of the Fatui. I abide by them very well, don't I?" Safire interrupted him.
The situation now is very simple. Safire has given enough face, thought of a reason, prepared gifts and provided a way out. All Villette needs to do is nod, and everything can be resolved reasonably and legally.
As for the evil and filth hidden in the shadows, they are unknown to the public.
"The servant promised me that nothing like this would happen again." Villette walked slowly to the window and looked out at the bustling Fontaine Street. "I believed her."
Saphir lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
"But you still chose to ignore the law and use such extreme means to lynch a person. This is not right." Villette's tone was full of melancholy, but not anger.
Saphir sneered and shook his head: “You know, in this world, there is always justice that cannot be protected by the law.
Law and justice have never been two highly unified words. What the law protects is rights and stability, not justice. It is even... not fair enough.
This is clear to both you and me.”
"I know." Villette turned around and looked directly at the girl sitting on the sofa. "After the bloody case, I raised the age of legal responsibility to sixteen. I don't want a situation like that to happen again."
"But so what? It's too late, isn't it? Besides, can raising the age prevent tragedies? It's just the beginning of another tragedy." Safire was less than sixteen years old when she committed the bloody crime. According to the current Fontaine law, she could even be acquitted.
But it was too late, it had already happened and could not be undone.
Safir leaned back and looked up at the ceiling: "I have heard of such a case. A thirteen-year-old boy raped and killed another girl by violent means. However, he was too young. According to the law, he has not reached the age of legal responsibility.
Therefore, everyone in the courtroom knew that this person would be acquitted, and the murdered girl would have nowhere to seek justice. I can't imagine how the girl's mother felt after hearing the news. What do you think she would do? "
Villette frowned. If there was such a loophole in the law, he really didn't know what to do.
Safire chuckled: "It's very simple. Facing the provocation and insults of the murderer in court, the girl's mother remained calm. At the end of the trial, when the other party was acquitted, she pulled out a gun from her coat pocket and fired thirteen shots at the murderer.
Even when all the bullets were used up, her finger on the trigger never stopped, and everyone present just watched quietly.
The mother gave the murderer a last chance. If he had sincerely repented, she would not have done such a thing. Unfortunately, she gave the wrong chance, so she took action.
This is justice and the only thing a mother can do for her dead daughter."
"But you must undergo a personal search to enter the courtroom, and firearms and other weapons are not allowed to be brought in." Villette knew this very well because that was the case with Fontaine.
Saphir nodded: "That's right, but so what?"
Yeah, so what? How the gun was brought in is not important at all. Because no one cares about that. All people care about is whether the murderer is punished.
"Just imprisonment in Mellow Petersburg is too light a sentence. Although we can entrust Leosli to do it, I don't think this approach is appropriate. As for Villette, I want to save the daughter who shot the murderer for her mother, just like I want to save the mother who shot the murderer for her daughter." Saphir finally expressed his true thoughts.
Villette was somewhat moved. He was about to say something when he was suddenly startled: "The case in Gray River..."
"She did it." Saphir admitted directly, "She can't turn back, so I'm here to plead for her."
"Xiawolei brought back a writer last night, a writer who couldn't even use a gun and claimed to be a murderer." Navilette rested his hands on the table, looking at the top file, which was the file that Xiawolei sent over after he arrested the suspect.
Safire was not surprised by this: "There are always people who want to protect that ray of hope, but he couldn't protect his own sister. Even if he took all the blame on himself, it would be useless. This lie is too easy to be exposed."
That Villette nodded in agreement: "So, that sister is now..."
"I have already locked onto her in our crew. Don't worry, as long as Morris doesn't show up, she won't act rashly." Saphir said casually. Veronica still has revenge to take, so she will definitely abide by the law if her enemy doesn't show up.
But Morris had already been caught by her, and there was no way Veronica could find this person.
That Villette understood everything, sat back in her seat, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly said: "I can give the Fatui face, but she is not your subordinate."
"She can be." Saphir naturally knew what Villette meant and agreed to the request directly.
Joining the Fatui gave her a chance to pull the trigger on her father, which was not something Veronica could not accept.
After everything was arranged, Saphir did not stay any longer and left Momang Palace.
Villette looked at the files on the table and sighed slowly. Now that the identity of the real murderer was clear, there was absolutely no reason to continue to wrongly accuse an innocent person.
Although Baptiste might not be completely innocent, Villette no longer cared. He picked up the file, made annotations on it, then put it aside and continued with other work.
A few days passed like this, and during these days, Fontaine seemed calm and peaceful, without any rumors. Even the gun murder case was suppressed and there was no excitement.
With the connections of Steambird News, it was easy for Safire to suppress the heat of a case. Xiawolei was a little indignant about this, but after finding Safire to question him, she was successfully persuaded.
Finally, Safire agreed to let Xiawolei be present to witness the matter when it was completely resolved, so that Navilette could understand the final outcome.
The crew members gathered again that day. It was the last day of filming, and Funina was bragging about her fame.
Qianzhi looked at the girl calmly: "Yes, yes, the director is very famous. Just having your name printed in the director column of the poster will earn you a lot of viewers."
"It's not my fault that I'm too popular! What's that word? It's just the right word to describe my fame." Funina put her index finger on her lower lip, a little stuck on the words.
Qianzhi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Glorious no longer?"
Saphir also tilted his head: "A tiger in trouble?"
"It's famous!" Funina was furious. These two people were so sharp-tongued that it was hard to guard against them.
After some simple jokes, the filming will continue. Since it is the last day of filming, the main focus is on finishing work.
Xavier has been very busy these two days as he has to communicate with the people from the Shadow Association about publicity matters.
Just as Funina said, her name is a living signboard and there is no need for publicity, but Xavier doesn't think so. As a producer, he will do what he should do.
It is true that Funina is famous, but necessary publicity is still necessary.
Ying was a little confused about the fact that there was no mention of Safir on the promotional poster, but Safir thought it was okay. After all, it was not a good idea to print the word Aurora so clearly on the poster.
It might be a little better in Fontaine, but she still belongs to Zhidong in the public eye after all, and interfering with the filming of Yingying might cause some unnecessary disputes.
After all, it involves foreign investment, which will cause a mess of accounts and cause trouble.
"Today we will mainly shoot some street scenes and humanities, which will be used as specific environment renderings in the film. There will also be a cameo by Mr. Ayato, Krevy, and Xiao Gong, showing outsiders' evaluation of the Fontaine Gunners." Funina began to arrange the work and looked at Saphir again, "Are you sure you don't want to join?"
Saphir chuckled. "The price of an executive officer's portrait is very high, and the process is complicated. Why don't you write a letter and send it to Zhidong now to see what they say?"
If it was Tartaglia, it might be okay, but not Saphir. Although she has appeared in public many times, she is only well-known in Fontaine.
Not many people in other countries know about her.
Finina thought about it and shook her head silently. Having a good relationship with Saphir didn't mean having a good relationship with the Fatui. She didn't want to get into such trouble.
Kamisato Ayaka laughed. She understood all of this and agreed with Funina's choice.
After all, she didn't really want to come into contact with the Fatui other than Saphir, so she changed the subject: "My brother said he will be here soon."
"Okay, let's shoot the scenery scenes first. Photographer, script supervisor, are you ready?" Since Saphir was unwilling, Funina did not force him and went straight to work.
Little Paimeng was very excited: "Leave it to us!"
Funina nodded and reminded him, "Remember, we only need to provide some distant views of the streets. If you see some interesting flowers and plants, you can also take some close-ups."
Ying nodded in understanding.
"Ready. 3, 2, 1. Go."
