Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef
Chapter 34 The Nature of the Case
Hearing Navia's words, Linny's expression was slightly stunned, and then he shook his head gently.
"Miss, I may disappoint you. Creating such a miracle is not something that a magician like me can do."
Navia shook her head slightly and continued:
"Mr. Linney, the best thing about magic is confusing people, right?"
“Magic in people’s eyes often hides the truth and gives people an interesting illusion.”
"but..."
Having said that, Navia paused, and then turned her gaze to the stage.
Myles and Silver had put Linnie's magic prop, the exchange box, back on the stage at some point.
"But when everyone regards illusions as reality, maybe magic can bring the real truth to people's eyes?"
"This magic that can bring the truth can be called the most exciting and the magic that best suits today's "drama", right?"
"Come on, Linny, Linnet, let's do it again! Don't worry, this time... the Thorn Rose Society has made arrangements for you who are in distress!"
"You are the focus of the stage and the creators of this magic. The final curtain call should be left to you."
Hearing this, Linnie turned his eyes to the exchange box on the stage, then nodded slightly and snapped his fingers.
Snapped--
In this opera house where you can hear a pin drop, the snap of fingers sounded so clear.
And Linnet, as the magic assistant, also made a sound at this moment that can be regarded as a legendary rite.
"Qiangqiang-"
Along with Linnet's voice, two large lights on the side of the opera house stage lit up and focused on the exchange box in the center of the stage.
Under the gaze of everyone, a figure that shocked everyone present walked out.
"Halsey?! Wasn't she dissolved?! What the hell is going on?!"
"The idea that people can dissolve must be fake, right? Otherwise, why... would she appear here?"
"No, no... What's going on here? Why is it——"
"Wait?! Could it be that what you predicted was true? Halsey managed to resist and escape, and accidentally killed Cowell?!"
Listening to the discussion of the audience, Halsey was a little nervous for a moment, then she pinched the hem of her skirt uneasily, and then said:
"Uh...well...sorry to bother you."
"I... let me make it clear first, that person told me that if I testified honestly, I could be considered to have made meritorious service while serving my sentence and get a lighter sentence... that's why I came here."
"I have just been hiding outside to listen to this trial because I was very scared. I originally thought that this trial was to judge me..."
"So when I was still feeling lucky that I hadn't been noticed...she had already caught me."
Hearing this, Navia showed a confident smile on her face and said cheerfully:
"Hey, don't underestimate the three of us, okay?"
Navia's words also made it clear how this person came to be. Although the way he was caught was a bit... surprising, it did not affect the final result.
"Halsey" thought for a while, and then spoke after a while:
"Where should I start...Uh, anyway, I'm sorry, I killed Cowell."
"I'm not Halsey, my name is Lillian, and I'm from Mondstadt."
"I heard that Linney's show was amazing, but I missed the ticket purchase deadline, so I stole a ticket..."
"As a result, I was targeted a few days ago in Hailu Port. I managed to escape with great difficulty, and Linny was among the people chasing me at that time."
Paimeng nodded in understanding when he heard this.
"I was wondering why you looked so familiar to me. It turns out that you were the thief. Linnie even praised you for your skills."
Lillian nodded, and then continued:
"I thought that was it, but when I came in to watch the show... the machine picked me again."
"When Lini said something like... 'Mello Petersburg', I thought it was a prison, and I thought he was targeting me."
"So I planned to pretend to cooperate with the performance and prepare to escape when the opportunity arose. But then I was drenched with water for no apparent reason, and then someone jumped into the tunnel and tried to catch me..."
"I didn't want to surrender, so I knocked him out and stuffed him into a box..."
"But I had nowhere to run, so I had to change my clothes and hide in the box where my performance costumes were kept."
"It wasn't until the first security team arrived that I found an opportunity to slip away and hide in the opera house."
Hearing this, Ying's mouth twitched involuntarily. She really didn't expect that someone could hide in that small box.
But if you think about it carefully, Lillian is so skilled and has a petite figure, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to hide in there.
Thinking of this, Ying felt relieved immediately.
Lillian was silent for a while and then said in a panic:
"Although I was the one who stuffed Cowell into the water tank, I really didn't know that the water tank would fall directly down. I absolutely didn't know!"
"If I knew things would turn out like this, I would never have stuffed him into the magic box! I...I only steal money, not kill people!"
Hearing this, Ying nodded slightly, and after a little thought, she filled in the missing details of the matter.
"Lillian was chosen unexpectedly because of the misunderstanding... She was very panicked at the moment. The sudden cold water poured over her head turned her panic into panic. She then kicked the door open, causing the muffled sound we heard."
"At this moment, Cowell heard the strange noise and jumped into the tunnel, and found that Lillian had not been dissolved at all."
"Cowell didn't know that Lillian wasn't from Fontaine. He even thought that it would take time for the "Original Fetal Sea Water" to take effect, so he was eager to put Lillian back."
"And just as Lillian said, she and Cowell had a fight, during which they broke the vase, and in the end Lillian knocked Cowell unconscious and stuffed him into the magic box."
"There was no second exit in the tunnel, so she had to change her clothes and hide in the box until the show was over."
"This is what the case should look like."
