Huo Yushen said, "Your aunt definitely isn't the murderer. There was originally surveillance footage of the woman who walked out of Tantai Sinian's Home, so it would have been easy to determine whether she was wearing a Face Mask."
He paused before continuing, "But the key problem now is that the original surveillance master tapes from Tantai Sinian's Home were suddenly destroyed by massive electromagnetic radiation."
"The only evidence is the copied footage."
"And with copied footage, it's much harder to determine whether that person was wearing a Face Mask."
Xia Chujian sneered. "They're quite practiced at this trick of crying thief."
Huo Yushen said, "Because the surveillance master tapes were destroyed, the copied footage cannot serve as evidence. It can only be used as a reference."
"Someone powerful must be advising them from behind the scenes."
Xia Chujian said coldly, "I don't care who's advising them."
"If such blatant framing and false accusations can succeed, then where is King's Law?!"
Huo Yushen said, "Since you brought up King's Law, you should understand that it is the King's law."
"The Emperor's."
"If he wants it to apply to you, it applies."
"If he doesn't want it to apply to you, it doesn't."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Huo Yushen's words choked her so thoroughly that she nearly couldn't speak.
But she was quick-witted after all, and soon said, "The word 'king' in King's Law is just a general term. Who says it necessarily refers to the Emperor?"
"Don't fuss over such details."
"Even the Emperor is bound by Constitutional Monarchy, isn't he?"
Huo Yushen said coldly, "Do you really think the Emperor is bound by Constitutional Monarchy?"
"He simply can't be bothered to argue with those people."
"Think carefully. Has the Emperor's military authority been stripped away?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She understood.
