Chapter 400 Not Guilty
Chapter 400 Not Guilty
"Thank you, Judge. Just now, we have been investigating the luggage of other people involved in the case..."
"And we found the same [Original Fetal Sea Water] in Linny's luggage that Cowell had!"
A member of the security team named Vaughn stepped forward and explained the situation to everyone present.
"W-what?!"
Linnie took a step forward in disbelief.
"This is impossible."
Linnet frowned and refuted firmly.
"Hehehe...what a dramatic scene. The bullet that was supposed to be counterattacked actually caused fatal injuries to itself."
Funina couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed.
"In this case, all doubts are resolved, right?"
With the new evidence provided by the security team, Funina, who originally doubted that she had wrongly accused an innocent person, began to analyze the case again and continued to refine her view of the crime.
Cowell was Linnie's contact, but due to certain circumstances, Linnie became malicious and wanted to take all the credit for himself, so he knocked Cowell unconscious and killed him with the water tank that was originally used to cover up the evidence.
'The evidence has been exhausted and there is no way to form an effective rebuttal.'
"Is this the end?"
Ying no longer had any new evidence to refute and fell into distress.
"Well, so many eyes have witnessed it, my reasoning is perfect."
"I guess this is the end."
"Mr. Supreme Judge, the noble and respected judge over there, in your opinion, is it possible now..."
Seeing that Ying and Paimon were unable to continue refutation, Finina looked proud and complacent, and looked at Villette, wanting to urge him.
"Everyone, stop for a moment and listen to what I have to say!"
However, at this moment, Navia, who had greeted Nangong Ya and the others before, suddenly ran back and interrupted Funina's words while shouting.
"Miss, please respect the order of the trial and don't make loud noises."
That Villette had no choice but to remind Navia.
"Don't be impatient. I must have a reason for what I said. I'm sure you're all tired of listening to the arguments for so long. Do you want to see a magic show?"
"A magic trick that can make the [disappeared] girl reappear in front of us, please, Mr. Linnie!"
Navia spoke to everyone present, and finally looked towards Linny.
"Uh...Miss, I may disappoint you. Creating such a miracle is beyond the reach of a magician like me."
Linnie shook his head.
However, his words woke up Ying and Paimeng who were standing beside them. They immediately looked at each other, and then turned around to look at Nangong Ya who was in the front row of the audience.
"..."
Feeling the gazes of the two people, Nangong Ya spread her hands to indicate that she was powerless.
In fact, there is really nothing that can be done if Halsey has really been dissolved.
After all, she herself didn't know how to find Halsey's consciousness from the water flow, and there were so many dissolved Fontaine people in the Lujing Spring.
"Don't worry, Mr. Linny. We at the Thorn Rose Club have made all the preparations. You are the focus of the stage and the creators of the magic. The final performance still depends on you."
While Ying and the others were looking at Nangong Ya, Navia was also trying to persuade Linni to believe in herself.
"I see."
Seeing that Navia didn't look like she was joking, Linnie nodded.
Then, he cooperated by snapping his fingers at the magic box that was originally placed on the stage.
"Qiangqiang-"
And Linnet also cooperated.
Around the magic box are Navia's two followers, Myles and Silver.
After Linny snapped his fingers, the lights came on and shone on the magic box, and the two of them opened the door of the magic box one on the left and one on the right.
"..."
In the box, the girl, who had already changed into another set of clothes, stood weakly in the box.
"...?"
The appearance of the girl made everyone's eyes widen. Is this the missing girl? Is it true that the people of Fontaine will be dissolved?
Almost everyone held this thought, but the girl took the initiative to explain in the hope of getting a lighter sentence.
It turns out that she is not Halsey, her name is Lillian, and she is from Mondstadt.
She stole Halsey's tickets and assumed her identity in order to see Linney's performance.
Then, from Lillian's perspective, Ying successfully restored what really happened.
Because the balloon above her head was triggered by a mechanism, the original fetal sea water poured down on Lillian, scaring her so much that she kicked the box open in panic, causing the muffled sound that everyone had heard before.
Hearing the noise, Cowell jumped into the tunnel and found that Lillian had not been dissolved. He mistakenly thought that it would take time for the original fetal sea water to take effect, so he wanted to force it back into the box.
During the struggle between the two, Lillian successfully knocked Cowell unconscious and stuffed him into a box.
But with nowhere to escape, she had no choice but to change her clothes and hide in a box in the tunnel waiting for the performance to end.
However, the blockade of the opera house prevented her from leaving, and anyone entering or leaving needed to have their identity checked, so she could only hide in the opera house.
"Does Ms. Funina have any different opinions on Mr. Linni's claims?"
After listening to Paimon's story, the audience couldn't help but applaud this wonderful reasoning, and Villette also looked at Finina and asked.
"I, I, uh..."
Furninda opened her mouth, but she had no words to refute.
"Please answer my question, Ms. Funina."
"By the way, the trial is not over yet, and the accusers cannot leave early."
Navillade ruthlessly exposed Furninna's thoughts.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?!"
"Hey, no objection, I lose. Really, you don't have to ask me at this time, give me some face."
At first, Funina was like a frightened kitten, but then she went limp like a punctured balloon.
"Since you have no objection..."
Navilette then narrated the entire course of the case in full, and ultimately handed it over to the cardinal for judgment.
The verdict was: Linny and Linnette, not guilty!
"Next, please explain, Officer Vaughn."
"How did you find [Original Fetal Sea Water] in Linni's luggage?"
After declaring Linney not guilty, Navrette looked at Vaughn, who was a little panicked.
"Yes, yes. You caused me to make a wrong judgment. Do you dare to give false testimony in this place?"
The wilted Furninna found a place where she could save face again and immediately spoke to Vaughn.
"I said, I said, I said it all!"
Under the pressure from Villette and Funina, Vaughan had to confess quickly.
"[The water of the original fetal sea] can dissolve people. It was discovered by our boss."
"This stuff can also be used to make a potion. If you make it very, very diluted, it will make you very excited and you will never forget it."
"We have been doing this business and have made a lot of money. The serial disappearance of girls case was also planned by our boss. Oh, our boss is that... that..."
"Uhhhhhhhh-!"
In full view of everyone, just as Vaughn was about to reveal the name of the man behind the scenes, his body suddenly dissolved into water, leaving only his clothes on the ground.
"Excellent! If I knew I was going to die, I would definitely shout out the name of the mastermind first."
Seeing this scene, everyone in Fontaine was either shocked or panicked. Only Nangong Ya, who had expected this, gave such an evaluation.
Hearing Nangong Ya's words, Marcelle, who was sitting not far from Nangong Ya, felt a pang in her heart.
