Explorer of Teyvat

Just as Funina guessed,

Paimon looked at Linny angrily: "Hey, Linny, why didn't you tell us this kind of thing!"

Linnie and Lynette are fools,

Linney was not in the box when the accident occurred.

These two pieces of information almost nailed Linney's guilt,

But before, when Ying and Paimon asked Linny for details,

Linney did not reveal either of these pieces of information at all.

The client conceals important information, which is an unimaginable blow to any defender.

In court, the only person a client can trust is his or her attorney.

If he even concealed his defense, then he was probably the real murderer.

Ying also looked at Linni and Linnet, suspicion already appearing in her eyes.

On the judgment seat,

Villette held his cane hard: "Please keep quiet. Mr. Linney, I want to confirm again the two points raised by Ms. Fonina - when you heard the muffled sound in the opera house, you were not in the box and the tunnel. Inside, you and Ms. Lynette are all members of the "Hearth House". "

Villette stared with eyes: "Is this sentence true?"

Linni was slightly silent: "..."

Navilette: "Please answer my question, Mr. Linney."

To the judge, silence is evasion, and evasion is ineffective in a trial.

In the audience, Wang Daoyi suddenly said: "There is nothing to hide, Linni, you are standing on the trial bench, which means someone has taken action against you. This is a provocation to the fools. Arecino will agree with you." To counter this kind of provocation, it is normal to leak some information when counterattacking."

As a god, the Lord of Red Sand naturally attracted everyone's attention with his words.

However, the Lord of Red Sand's words were very vague, making it difficult for others to tell whether he was helping Linni escape the crime or urging Linni to be brought to justice.

Linni took a deep breath: "Yes, Lord Judge, it's all true."

[Cardinal Decree] was activated instantly, and the scales tilted again. One more time, and Linni could be convicted.

"Hahaha, now we can convict him."

"It doesn't look like there is any reversal. As expected of Lady Funina, she won very easily."

"Fools are indeed not a good thing."

"Although there is no reversal, it is also very exciting to see Lady Funina take action."

…

There was a lot of chatter in the audience, and no one was optimistic about Linny anymore.

At the defense table,

Paimon was a little nervous: "Oooh, what should I do, Ying."

Ying frowned slightly and glanced at Linni, but she still spoke. She looked at Navilette: "I want to say a few words, Mr. Inquisitor."

Villette nodded: "Please speak."

"My client has concealed key information, and my defense cannot continue." Ying said.

Then Villette looked at Ying: "So, where is your request?"

Ying: "Adjourn the court, we need to communicate."

In the auditorium,

"If you even lie to the people who are invited to defend you, what can you achieve through communication?"

"Yeah, this is just a dying struggle."

"Lady Funina will definitely win."

…

"Silence." On the trial bench, Navilette nodded. "The appeal is reasonable. We will adjourn the trial. In one hour, the trial will start again."

On the charge table,

Funina crossed her arms, confident of winning: "You already know this kind of thing, but you still don't refuse to defend Mr. Linni. It seems that my opponent's professionalism is beyond imagination."

Of course, she couldn't be praising Ying, she was just paving the way for her own performance.

Sure enough, Fu Nina quickly looked at the audience: "My favorite audience, just let the joy of victory settle for a while, hahaha."

The audience also responded with bursts of cheers.

The court is temporarily adjourned.

Ying and Paimon took Linny and Linnette to the backstage of the opera house. They needed a real communication.

Funina also went to the lounge to rest,

Wang Daoyi, on the other hand, appeared in the supreme judge's lounge.

"Before the trial begins, what do you mean by what you said?" Villette looked at Wang Daoyi warily.

Wang Daoyi leaned on the sofa and lightly shrugged: "Although I don't know how long the water dragon's life is, you don't have a bad memory now, right? Didn't I make it very clear just now? After the trial is over, I will Official visit to Fontaine.”

"What's the purpose of the visit?"

"Ha, this has nothing to do with you, then Villette, Ms. Funina is the ruler of this country."

"As the supreme judge of Fontaine, I have the right to know all the affairs of this country."

"Tsk, okay, okay, Funina and I have some things to talk about about the gods. As a member of the dragon, you won't eavesdrop, right?"

Wang Daoyi looked at Villette with a half-smile.

Gods and dragons are essentially enemies.

Wang Daoyi was telling Villette that compared to him, an outsider, oh, this outsider, Wang Daoyi and Funina were on the same team.

"...Unless Ms. Funina requests it herself, the meeting should not be out of my sight."

Villette doesn't care about gods or dragons.

He just wanted to protect Funina.

There was something wrong with Funina, and Villette had known it for a long time.

But no matter how problematic Funina is, it should be the matter of the Fontaine people themselves.

"It doesn't matter, just arrange for me to meet with Funina."

Wang Daoyi shrugged.

When the conversation about Fukalos came up, Funina would naturally tell Villette to go away.

Wang Daoyi confirmed this.

The two stayed in the lounge in silence for an hour.

"The time has come for the trial to proceed."

Villette stood up from the sofa.

"Really looking forward to it."

Wang Daoyi also showed a smile,

They should be able to give themselves a surprise.

…

"Both parties have returned to their positions and then our trial will continue."

Villette glanced at Wang Daoyi who returned to the audience, then looked at Funina and Ying, and announced that the trial would continue.

"Since before the adjournment, Mr. Linney believed that the new evidence presented by Ms. Funina was all facts, then please ask Ms. Funina to tell the truth about the case."

Villette gave the right to speak to Funina.

Funina still looked confident of winning: "I've waited so long in vain. Come on, everyone, please listen carefully."

She held her head high and pointed at Linni: "At this stage, we only restore the entire incident from Linni's perspective."

“First, as the audience’s countdown began, Linney came into the tunnel.

As the flatbed truck passed by, he opened the box and got entangled with Halsey, causing the muffled sound.

He did not realize that the sound would be so loud that the entire opera house could hear it, so he deliberately stated that he had not heard the sound in previous inquiries.

Finally, Linney knocked Halsey unconscious with a vase and took off her coat to prevent her from being recognized.

But at this time, Cowell heard something strange and came to the tunnel, where he met Linny who was committing a crime.

So Linney knocked Cowell unconscious again and put him in the box.

Afterwards, Linney handed the unconscious Halsey to the corresponding accomplice through the magic box in the auditorium, and then operated the mechanism to make Cowell appear to have died in an accident. "

As she said that, Funina put her hands on her hips: "This is the truth of the matter! (Hehehehe, I am so powerful!)"

On the judgment seat,

Villette's expression remained unchanged. After Funina finished speaking, she turned and looked at the defense table: "As for the truth description proposed by Ms. Funina, does Mr. Linni have anything to refute?"

At the defense table, Ying frowned slightly, and his heart was already active: (The key to the rebuttal is, in chronological order, what exactly Linni experienced in the tunnel and what he witnessed...)

After thinking for a moment, Ying prepared a defense statement, and then quietly told Paimon,

Paimon's eyes lit up and she took out her detective suit again: "Detective Paimon has something to say!"

Villette nodded slightly: "Please speak at the defense table."

Paimon raised his head: "Linny did enter the tunnel when the countdown started.

But he immediately went from the vent to the basement of the Opera House, which was the room where the underground core of the [Oracle Machine] was placed. After arriving, he actually heard voices in the empty room.

Feeling something was wrong, he decided not to stay any longer and returned directly.

Back in the tunnel, the crime scene had been formed. In order to successfully complete the magic, Linny did not stay longer.

Finally he returns to the ground, an accident happens, and this is his perspective! He is innocent! "

After finishing speaking, Paimon covered his chest: "Wow, I've said everything! So awesome, I'm so awesome!"

the other side,

On the prosecution stand, Funina crossed her arms, put one hand on her chin, and showed a disdainful smile: "In other words, do you think Linny is completely unaware?"

Paimon: "That's right!"

Ying: "And there are holes in your reasoning."

Funina's expression froze: "Eh! Eh? Mine?"

Ying nodded and said, "The props on the stage were manipulated premeditatedly, but you said Cowell bumped into Linney by accident."

"That's right." Paimon continued, "In that case, if Cowell hadn't broken into the tunnel, who would Linney have planned to kill? According to the truth of the case you told, Linney just wanted to kidnap the girl to produce new ones. There is no need to kill someone on stage in a disappearance case."

After saying that, Paimon clapped his hands and looked at Funina innocently.

In the auditorium,

"Yes, yes, that's it. Hehe, you are indeed my partner. The situation has finally been restored."

Someone started to speak for you,

Wang Dao turned around and saw a girl with blond hair.

You are truly worthy of being a lover. Did you meet a new girl so quickly?

On the charge table,

Funina did not show her weakness, but became a little stronger.

Now both sides have no direct evidence. The comparison is who can come up with a more comprehensive story chain and be more convincing to the audience.

Funina is obviously more advantageous than Ying in this regard.

"Even if you boldly deny my inference, what evidence is there to prove that you are right?"

Funina questioned Ying.

Ying immediately replied: "Do you remember...how you overturned Linny's alibi?"

"Remember, what's wrong... If he was in the magic box the whole time, how could he not hear that sound..." Funina didn't feel the language trap at all, and answered directly. After finishing speaking, she was suddenly startled, "Ah! You mean..."

"Now [it] has also become a [key clue]..." Ying smiled, "It is precisely because Linny was not in the magic box or in the underground passage that he could not hear the loud noise. It means that the case happened By that time, Linny had indeed crawled into the basement through the vent."

Paimon also followed: "Hmph, the clues you used to deny Linny's alibi have now become the best evidence for his alibi!"

In the auditorium,

"It's really wonderful to use Lady Funina's logic to refute Lady Funina."

"In this way, if the evidence is established, Linney was indeed not down there when the case occurred."

"It's reversed, it's reversed, I really like the reverse."

…

Audience opinion has begun to tilt toward Linney.

This is the dramatization of the Fontaine trial,

If neither party has evidence to prove anything,

The excitement of both sides' speeches will directly affect the audience's judgment, thereby affecting the operation of the [Cardinal Adjudication].

Of course, the premise is that someone hidden in the [Cardinal Enlightenment] does not directly intervene.

On the charge table,

"Shouting... using such logic..." Funina's face sank, "Well, then, tell me! If Linny didn't do this, who else could it be!"

Funina's question made Ying's happiness disappear.

Refuting Fu Nina's point of view, it can only prove that Linni did not act as Fu Nina said,

But there is no way to completely eliminate the possibility of Linney.

If Linney is to be proven innocent, then the most important thing is to find the real culprit.

So, who is the real murderer?

Ying began to review the clues he had searched,

(An investigation by the police force showed that the fireworks set off at the end of the magic show burned the rope hanging the water tank, causing the water tank to fall to the death of Cowell in the box. After Linney was ruled out as a suspect, the magic props were able to be tampered with. The only ones left with limbs are the other members of the magic troupe.)

(Linney introduced in detail how the magic is implemented: through the design of a double-layered box, the box containing the audience is sent to the opposite side through the tunnel, and he himself also goes to the opposite side through the tunnel. The interaction on the stage is performed by Linni who changes clothes. Nette, realized with the assistant on stage.)

(The coat of the missing girl Halsey was left in the tunnel for unknown reasons.)

Ying murmured in a low voice: "The deceased's name is Cowell, and he was Linney's assistant. He could manipulate props..."

"Huh?" Paimon next to him heard Ying murmuring in a low voice, "Huh, no way? Are you serious?"

After looking at Ying's serious eyes, Paimon announced to everyone with some embarrassment: "Uh... the murderer is the victim of this case, Cowell!"

On the charge table,

Funina suddenly smiled: "Oh, really? It's really interesting. Then tell me your reasoning."

Sometimes, if you can't prove that you are right, you can prove that the other person is wrong.

The other party pointed out the deceased as the murderer, which was exactly what Funina wanted.

Anyway, she doesn't have any tricks left, so it's pretty good to see her opponent make a stupid move.

What Ying needs to do next is to review what Cowell did and how he turned from a murderer to a deceased person.

Ying frowned, but was unable to speak.

Beside, Paimon and Linny brother and sister looked at her worriedly.

But no matter what he thinks, he can't deduce a complete logic.

If Cowell were to go from murderer to victim,

Then there must be a real murderer,

Among the people involved in this case,

Just Linney, Cowell, and...the missing girl.

So, who could exist as the murderer?

And, where did the missing girl go?

Ying's reasoning hit a dead end.

Time passes little by little,

On the prosecution stand, Funina was already excited: "Excuse me for interrupting, dear opponents, have you noticed the audience's impatience? In this opera house, there is no greater sin than a silent performance."

In the trial court, Navilette also looked at the defense table: "If Mr. Linney's side cannot make a strong speech, we will move to the next step."

At the defense table, the brothers Paimon and Linny became increasingly nervous, but they still comforted Ying and told her not to be stressed.

In the auditorium, the long-awaited audience can't wait to start the next scene.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Supreme Inquisitor."

Suddenly a voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone looked and saw that the person speaking was the Lord of Red Sand who had been watching the show before.

"Dao Yi..." Paimeng's eyes lit up.

Funina frowned slightly.

Navilette looked at Wang Daoyi: "Your Majesty, Lord of Red Sand, as a jury, you should not speak at this time."

"Of course, of course, but as a god, I have the right to speak at any time, don't I?" Wang Daoyi shrugged at Villette.

Villette was silent for a moment, and then said: "So, what do you want to say?"

"The first performance I came to Fontaine to watch was such a wonderful performance, which made me very 'satisfied'. However, as a country of justice, I think that when the defense table raises an argument, we should consider it. If there is even a slight possibility that the argument is reasonable, it needs to be investigated, doesn’t it?”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Navilette didn't want to go around in circles with Wang Dao.

“I just want to say, when the defense table suggested that Mr. Cowell was the murderer, should our security team search Mr. Cowell’s luggage?

If Mr. Cowell is really the murderer, then he must have come here for some purpose.

His luggage may contain the evidence we need most. "

While speaking, the Lord of Red Sand stood up and faced the audience: "Up to this point in the case reasoning, a total of three key figures have emerged, the suspect Linney, the deceased Cowell, and the missing girl Halsey.

During the investigation of cases in Liyue or Xumi, once such a case occurs, the first thing we should do is to investigate all the luggage of these three people and find out the suspicious points. "

With that said, Wang Daoyi looked at Navilette again: "So, Your Majesty the Supreme Judge, has the security team investigated the luggage of these three people? Oh, the missing girl is just a spectator and has no luggage. So Linney and Cowell Have you checked your luggage?"

Villette remained silent when asked by Wang Dao, and finally looked at the security team member on the other side: "Have you checked the luggage of the two of them?"

The guards were silent,

They had already determined that Linny was the murderer, so how could they possibly investigate.

"Ha, it seems that there is no more." Wang Daoyi sneered, and then continued, "A trial without even investigating the evidence is obviously not enough to be called justice. Your Excellency, the Supreme Judge, both the accuser and the defense More evidence is needed, and we, the audience, also need the truth, so I hope to temporarily stop reasoning about the case and search for more evidence."

"The truth needs evidence!"

As soon as Wang Dao finished speaking, the opera house fell into silence.

soon,

The audience burst into shouts,

"Yes, we need the truth with evidence."

"Your Majesty the Supreme Judge, please agree with the Lord of Red Sand."

"A trial based on evidence is justice. This is really true."

…

Looking at the shouts erupting from the audience,

Navilette sat on the judge's chair and lowered his eyes slightly: "Search for more reasonable evidence. This is a reasonable request. Since the case is difficult to reach a conclusion at this stage, supplementing the evidence will also be beneficial to the progress of the trial. Please be alert. Let the team members enter the lounge and investigate the belongings of the deceased Cowell."
