Genshin Impact: I am playing cultivating immortals in Teyvat

Chapter 164 Agent’s On-site Investigation

But now the police team is investigating the scene. If they want to get closer, they will have to wait for a while.

Sitting on the red seat in the front row until I fell asleep, the police team's investigation finally came to fruition.

Villette stood on the stage, looking at the audience in front of him with a serious face:

"Unfortunately, the person in the magic box has died."

"The victim's name is Cowell and he is one of the assistants of Linney's magic troupe."

"Based on the current situation, it seems that the fireworks on the stage ignited the rope on the water tank, which led to the accident."

In fact, judging from the current situation, this can be regarded as an accident, but the problem lies exactly here.

The girl who was supposed to be in the magic box disappeared, seemingly disappearing out of thin air.

In this way, many of the characteristics of this incident are consistent with the previous [Missing Girl Case].

"Hahaha, I know, I know!"

Listening to Villette's narration, Funina, who was sitting at the VIP table, suddenly covered her stomach and laughed.

"Then bringing something like this that can be seen through at a glance [for the finale], is it too much to underestimate us?"

As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and looked like he had seen through everything.

"Isn't the great magician Mr. Linney the culprit behind the girl's disappearance?"

"Thinking about it this way, the [from nothing to something, from something to nothing] mentioned in the opening remarks is more like a provocation."

"I......"

Linni wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Villette. He looked at Fonina there, with no expression on his face.

"Stop arguing first."

"Ms. Funina, can I consider your statement just now as an [accusation] against Mr. Linney?"

The order of the trial in Fontaine is different from other places. It starts with [accusation], and then the two sides argue.

Navilette and [Cardinal Adjudication] will make a judgment based on the arguments of both parties.

If there is a tie of opinion, then the accusation is true or false.

If different, it will be the result of hearing the [Cardinal Decree of Decree].

Although there has been no difference of opinion so far, this is why Navelle is called the most impartial judge.

"Huh? I just think it's too early for him... to make accusations."

Obviously, the water god didn't seem confident in her judgment, but the roar of the audience forced her to act confident.

It's not easy for her either.

Luo Yu sighed, are there really such gods who are influenced by their people?

"Hey, strangers over there, you will lend a helping hand, right?"

Funina pointed at the people on the seats, a smile appeared on her face. She humiliated me like this when we were at the port before, and she must come back this time.

"of course."

Luo Yu nodded, not to mention that they had a good relationship with Linni.

Even if it was an unrelated stranger today, he would still come forward. After all, there were too many suspicious things about the crime scene.

This is also a special feature of the Fontaine trial, which allows the accused party to have one or more attorneys.

The main function is to collect evidence to refute. If the [accuser] can be refuted, the accusation is invalid.

It sounds somewhat similar to lawyers on Earth, but the work may be more troublesome.

"I understand, since there is [accusation], there must be [trial]..."

After seeking the consent of several people, the identity of the attorney defending Linney was officially recognized.

The [trial] will be held in this opera house one day later, which means that they must find enough evidence within today.

Moreover, during this period, Linney and other members of the magic troupe were not allowed to leave the opera house, which was considered another kind of house arrest.

After explaining these basic things, Funina and Navilette left the opera house.

Ying and Luo Yu immediately found Linni and Linnette who were being watched by the wall.

"Thank you for your help."

Everything that happened just now was seen by the two of them.

It's not easy to still trust them despite knowing each other for only a dozen hours.

"Were you scared just now?"

Let’s not talk about other things. During the performance, a water tank suddenly fell down. He was shocked on the stage, not to mention the audience in the audience.

Fortunately, except for one dead and one missing, no one else was injured, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

After a little exchange of the information I have now, I found that there seem to be more mysteries in it.

But Paimon seemed particularly excited. He took out a pair of strange glasses from somewhere and put them on his face.

It looks like he has two mustaches, and he is saying: "The impossible cannot happen. If it happens, it must be possible."

I heard that I read it from a certain detective novel with Fontaine characteristics. This is not wrong, but it sounds inexplicably familiar.

After chatting for a while, Luo Yu and Ying immediately went to the auditorium and stage to investigate.

After all, time is tight and half of today is already over.

Although most of the guards have evacuated, there are still a few left who are responsible for investigating the scene and monitoring Linni and others.

After announcing their identities as agents, the guards politely shared the results of their investigation.

This can be considered one of the benefits of this status.

In the end, there were almost no clues except Cowell's identity and the water tank rope scorched by fireworks.

However, the guard named Esmond seemed to have a strong dislike for Linny, and specifically reminded a few people that it would be better not to wade into this muddy water.

According to his words, what magicians are best at is playing with people's hearts. People are the most unreliable of all evidences.

Maybe the other person did have good intentions, but was just a little more direct in what he said.

Luo Yu did not refute. In fact, before the real answer came out, everyone at the scene was suspected.

At Esmond's suggestion, several people decided to investigate the crime scene, and they might be able to find many missed clues.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the rope that lifts the water tank.

In fact, this is not an ordinary rope, but made of several strands of ordinary rope twisted together.

Luo Yu tried it and was sure that it couldn't be broken with bare hands.

Even if it is burned with fire, it will take a while, but according to Ying, the duration of the fireworks at that time was only a few seconds.

Not to mention whether the sparks can reach the top rope, such a short time is obviously not enough to burn it.

unless......

"what is this?"

Ying stepped forward and pointed to the white string in the middle. Although it was twisted together, it could be clearly distinguished because of the different colors.

"This seems to be some kind of combustion-promoting substance?"

Luo Yu was a little unsure, so he got closer and smelled it carefully. There was a smell of burned paper.

With his junior high school chemistry knowledge, he was basically certain that this should be some kind of combustion aid similar to cotton.

There is such a thing in the load-bearing rope. It's really...
