Star Railroad: Inquisitor of Phokarus

"Hey, even if you are a god, you may not know that we are not good."

Paimon looked at Funina with an unconvinced expression.

"Hahaha, very good, very good, that's it, otherwise how can you cheer me up? I'm looking forward to your performance." Funina emphasized the word "performance" and seemed to care about it very much.

Ying nodded: "You'll find out later."

Funina chuckled and slowly left with Jiang Ming.

......

......

"Now that both parties are here, the [trial] regarding the unexpected incident of this magic performance has officially begun."

Jiang Ming had a different feeling when he stood under the Cardinal's decree, although it was very different from before.

Of course he heard some gossip below, but he didn't care, and it was only a small number of people, and most people didn't say much.

Maybe the people of Fontaine would not trust themselves to judge, but the final result of the trial was given by the cardinal oracle. What he said did not count, and the audience was not fools. When Villette came, he also passed It took a long time for people to believe in this righteous, selfless and impartial supreme judge.

"Well, first of all, in order to let the audience here understand whether Mr. Linney has a motive for murder, please ask Mr. Linney to tell you about the magic technique."

Linni glanced at Linnet on the stage below and saw the other person nodded. Linni also turned around and said: "Okay, I will explain here. Linnette will demonstrate for you on the stage. All the props are prepared." alright."

Linny sighed. There was no other way. In order to solve such a problem, he could only make the magic techniques public...

Lin Niyan revealed the magic technique in a concise and concise manner. The audience was all amazed. It turned out that the magic was not as magical as they imagined. Many arrangements had been made in advance, and even the transformation magic could be done.

"So... Mr. Linney, your testimony is..."

Jiang Ming looked at Linni, waiting for Linni's next words.

"Whether it's the second performance or the third performance, I don't know what's going on in the outside world. It's impossible for me to predict the outside world and create a killing environment. If I want to kill people during the performance, I can do it in the tunnel. You can even ask someone to pretend to be Mr. Wendy, so you can do it without anyone noticing."

Jiang Ming nodded. It was reasonable and well-founded. It could at least prove that it was not Lin Ni who did it, but it could not be ruled out that it was a member of the troupe who did it.

"Mr. Lorenzo, as the accuser, do you have any rebuttal to this?"

Lorenzo sneered, pushed up his glasses and said.

"Hmph, Linny is tempting everyone. As a magician, I can naturally know Linny's thoughts."

"The rope of the water tank on the stage was burned by fireworks, and Mr. Wendy was always in the box and knew nothing except hearing the sound of himself being moved."

"In Linny's mind, Wendy would be so shocked when she found out that she actually appeared on the stage that she would forget all other actions and stay in the box. This time would be enough for the fireworks to burn the ropes and let the fireworks burn off the ropes. Mr. Di was hit by the water tank before he came out."

"But Linny didn't expect that Wendy was not too shocked. Instead, she walked out of the box in advance and escaped this dangerous scene."

Linney immediately retorted: "This is just your speculation based on my guilt and wanting to kill someone."

Jiang Ming didn't speak. He knew that the rope had been broken before Wendy got out of the box. It was just that the drunkard used elemental power to prevent the water tank from falling.

Lorenzo sneered: "Really? You said you didn't know what was going on in the outside world, but you really didn't know anything in the box? What did you hear at that time?"

"Of course, in addition to the deafening countdown sound, I need to rely on this to grasp the time and create surprises."

Lorenzo laughed loudly: "It's obvious, you judge the time when the fireworks burn the rope by time, and then complete your plan within this time point, causing the water tank to fall."

"Even if it's a rope, the time it takes for the fireworks to burn out can't be calculated just right!"

"So in the end your plan failed and the rope broke too late!"

This time, it was Ying who spoke: "Mr. Lorenzo, the material of the rope has been inspected and it is indeed flammable. However, due to the low ignition point, as long as the fireworks appear, they will burn out in a very short time, and Linni There is simply no control over when the fireworks are lit.”

"Hmph, did Mr. Linney hear any other noises?"

"there is none left......"

Upon hearing this, Lorenzo quickly seized the opportunity: "But before the countdown was less than thirty seconds, there was a muffled sound in the venue. I believe everyone heard it."

Linni's pupils suddenly enlarged, and he really didn't hear any muffled sound.

Seeing Linnie's expression and appearance, Paimon looked frightened and whispered in Ying's ear: "Hey, this isn't right. How could Linny not know?"

"That's a signal that you're ready. Remind your assistant to start preparing to set off the fireworks."

The confused and questioning audience below also nodded, it was indeed true.

The scale of the cardinal's verdict began to slowly tilt towards Linni's guilt.

The oracle machine's attitude began to show.

Lorenzo looked confident and said at the same time: "Everyone, also, Lenny also said, please choose the moment of blinking carefully, it is obvious now."

Jiang Ming was calm on the surface, but he was a little speechless in his heart. Ying and Paimon had never been in a lawsuit before. Lorenzo on the other side looked like a veteran. The initiative was always on Lorenzo's side. How could he win?

If you want to prove that Linnie is not guilty, use direct and strong evidence instead of the other party's questions and rebuttals. In this way, you will slowly step into the other party's trap.

"Also, Mr. Linney, I have other weapons that can kill you directly!"

Lorenzo spoke very confidently.

"Actually, you and Lynette are from the Hearth House. The fools in the Solstice Kingdom are well known in Teyvat. Everyone knows your style. Looking at it this way, in front of the Lord Water God It’s not incomprehensible to kill someone.”

At this moment, the whole place fell silent. Everyone was shocked by these words, even Funina was shocked.

"Damn, this is my information. Those people are reselling it in order to make money. They are screwed!" Funina clenched her fists, a little angry.

Ying and Paimon looked at Linny in surprise, and Paimon opened his mouth: "Are you... fools?"

The audience below all understood. Since they are fools, it is not surprising, so this matter becomes very reasonable.

ps: There is one more chapter, so I’ll post the first chapter because I’m afraid it will get stuck in review.
