Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 324 Seal Case
"Yes, I stole the thing!"

Even Mo Yuankai was shocked by this battle, and the two female knights screamed at the same time after being stunned for three seconds. "What the hell are you doing?!" "Oh my God, the seal of the Dawn Knight!!"

Jane let out a rather indecent scream, and flung herself with outstretched hands, as if about to strangle someone.Gongsun Ce threw the box in his hand into the air, and Jane quickly changed direction and caught the box in a hurry.She let out a sigh of relief, and then shouted angrily: "What are you doing?! Who are you?! Do you still have a sense of shame in your heart? How dare you be so rampant after stealing!"

Gongsun Ce blinked and made a silent gesture.Mo Yuankai's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he patted Orianna's shoulder from behind, signaling her to be calm.Orianna looked back and forth in confusion, and heard Gongsun Ce say in a high-spirited tone: "Where did you come from, a village girl and peasant woman, and you dare to put on a great air to question my honorable name!"

Jane blushed with anger, and Orianna understood her friend's feelings very well, and her fists hardened just listening to it.

"I am Jane Diella, a Knight of Righteousness of the Morton Royal Knights, and a entourage of the honorable Dawn Knight!"

"Oh..." Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "Where did you come from, I haven't heard of it, go away! Find someone with real status, and then come to interrogate me."

Orianna was almost stunned: "Do you still have a little education! You, you ran out alone to steal?! Even if it's a prank, this is too bad!"

Gongsun Ce was surprised when he heard this, and said: "This sentence sounds strange, as if you and I know each other. When have I met you?"

Orianna almost didn't come up in one breath, Mo Yuankai took a step forward and said with a smile: "Then do you know me?"

"Where did you come from as a craftsman?" Gongsun Ce winked, "I'm used to being a loner, so naturally I don't know him."

Jane pointed at Gongsun Ce's face, her fingertips were trembling: "You rude brat, go to the juvenile prison and talk to the police!"

"Hey~~~~" Gongsun Ce sighed exaggeratedly, "I'm afraid the juvenile prison can't control me as a thief! Besides, can you call me by my name? Do you know my identity? You understand Who am I talking to, and do I know if I have any real right to dispose of me?"

Gongsun Ce stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, and approached the knight entourage while talking.Ms. Jian is not tall, and when she was approached by this person and spoke, her momentum was three points weaker, like a vulnerable group who was bullied on campus: "You, what do you want to say..."

Gongsun Ce raised a funny smile: "Miss, who do you think I am?"

"—You are Gongsun Ce, the deceitful Daohua of the capital of the sky, one of the eight most dangerous superpowers."

A clear female voice appeared at this moment, with a calm tone of confidence that was convincing to others.The silver-haired woman walked into the house, and the sound of her heels trampling on the wooden floor made Jane feel relieved. She hurried to the woman's side and said aggrievedly: "Knight Elandia, this person broke into the house , claiming to have stolen your seal!"

Elandia took the box, turned it in her hand, and found a drop of freshly dried wax on the edge of the box.She scanned the environment in the house again, and she already had some concerns in her heart.

Elandia looked at the dumbfounded young man, calmly: "What else do you want to say, Mr. Gongsun?"

·
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment.He didn't expect that his goodbye with this person would be in such... embarrassing situation.But in less than half a second, the joy and surprise in his heart were replaced by doubled anger and resentment.

The boy's unique refusal to admit defeat and anger made him make a very meaningless move. Gongsun Ce sat back on the sofa and said provocatively: "I am a superpower? How can I see it? With the mistakes and omissions of your Morton Kingdom A lot of intelligence work?"

"Hey, Ah Ce!" Even Mo Yuankai felt that the younger brother had gone too far this time, but Elandia, who was provoked, remained calm.

"The obvious fact. Your clothing is out of step with the mainstream of Superbia and even Morton's, and you certainly don't act like you are deliberately trying to catch people's attention. It shows that such outlandish clothes are not normal in the environment you usually live in. ; The fabric of the clothes is not ordinary, with self-cleaning and temperature-regulating functions, which makes most of the blood stains you have been stained with now eliminated, and at the same time allows you to wear single clothes in the snow without feeling cold; The main entrance to 91 Dawson Street, but there is no sign of the door lock being picked, which means that you probably used supernatural power or high-tech props that I don't know yet.

Coupled with the age of about 16 years old, highly recognizable clothing, and your own personality... With so much information supporting evidence, it is not difficult to deduce your identity and origin. "

"..."

Gongsun Ce was choked up all of a sudden, and Jane stood beside the dawn knight with a proud look on her face, as if she said those words.

Mo Yuankai asked in a low voice: "...Detective?"

Orianna glanced at the deflated young man, and said proudly: "Yes, Knight Elandia is the best detective in the country!"

Gongsun Ce grasped the handle of the sofa, still insisted: "...It's all your inference! It's not evidence!"

A white light flashed in Elandia's hand, and a translucent white screen unfolded in her hand, and lines of writing were rapidly displayed on it.Her eyes stayed on one of the lines, and she read: "Record of Mnemoshine. At 9:03:34 at night, in front of No. 91 Dawson Street, Gongsun Ce. Do you need more evidence?"

This is exactly what they heard on the plane. All those who are qualified to use supernatural power within the capital will leave accurate records every time they use power—Mnemosyne records.

Gongsun Ce's hand suddenly relaxed, he leaned on the back of the sofa, crossed his hands in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction: "No more. The evidence is solid. Thank you, Knight Elandia!
I'm sure you are a man of stature and brains, and I think you should allow me some opportunity to defend my reputation.I will not run away, let alone resist, I just want to wait until the dust settles and the truth is revealed, before you speak out and pronounce the sentence, I wonder if it is possible? "

"I have no reason to refuse."

Elandia put the box in the hands of the entourage, and stood aside by herself, she really didn't intend to interfere.Holding the box in her hands, Jane asked in a panic, "Knight Elandia?"

"A simple case, Jane." Elandia said calmly. "You have been my follower for two years. I think you may have learned some tricks."

Jane opened her mouth in surprise, and then said cheerfully: "Of course, Miss Elandia! Please leave it to me, and I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Orianna clutched her forehead, thinking that there was really no room for cheating and cheating now.She couldn't help but worry about this superpower, stealing the seal of a Genesis Envoy is a felony.Even if that did not constitute the fact of theft, it was still enough to keep Gongsun Ce in the detention center for a long time... This young man's stubborn nature really hurt himself!
Mo Yuankai observed the situation and asked, "Miss Orianna, what is the seal? It's the same as the jade seal?"

"It's not as big as the seal in your country." Orianna explained melancholy, "It...is like a small wooden stick. In our country, the seal is almost equivalent to the proof of identity. Because nobles and Officials often use letters as a formal communication channel, and the seal on the envelope is the proof of the letter..."

Mo Yuankai frowned and said, "Isn't there still a signature?"

"Yes, Mr. Mo." The melancholy on Orianna's face deepened, "But in some special cases, people will send out anonymous letters with only their seals, which is their way to save the last bit of face for themselves. Like a denunciation of another... or a confession of one's own wrongdoing."

Mo Yuankai nodded, and understood why the reaction of the knight's entourage was so great.In a social environment where reputation and credibility are valued, the loss of identification is no small matter.If this seal is used to forge a letter, I am afraid that the knight Elandia will face very difficult troubles.

While speaking, Jane walked in front of Gongsun Ce, and with the backing of the knight, her timid temperament disappeared suddenly, and Jane said quite confidently: "Now there are all personal and physical evidence, no matter what rhetoric you have, no matter how big you are, His identity is no match for iron-like evidence!"

Gongsun Ce chuckled: "Oh~~It's really interesting. I also like detective games! I know that this play-by-play process always needs to talk about evidence. Tell me, why do you identify me? What do you think? What was the event like?"

Mo Yuankai took a step back: "I'm sensitive, so I'm not suitable to be a witness. Miss Orianna was with us at the time, why don't you tell me about the process of the incident?"

"Oh, ah?" Orianna was dizzy, not understanding why this good big brother put on a cold and selfless air.She said blankly: "Okay, okay... this... I don't see the point of it... The story is very simple. At nine o'clock we met Jane at the door of the coffee shop at the back of the street. Let's walk here together.

Halfway through, Miss Jane suddenly screamed and led us to the door.I was worried that an incident would happen, so I hurriedly reminded Mr. Mo not to use the ability, because all ability usage records within the scope of the case would become a possibility of suspicion... And when we walked in the door, you had already brought the stolen items, sitting On the sofa! "

The more Orianna spoke, the angrier she became. This young man is not only self-willed, but also commits such improper behaviors. How can this make people not disgusted?
But Gongsun Ce didn't feel nervous, and continued to say: "It sounds like this is Miss Jian's sudden illness, what does it have to do with me, Gongsun Ce? I'm about to speak, listen carefully:

I just sneaked into the house and wanted to give you a little surprise.I picked up this box on the sofa, and it's all because the person who came to clean it didn't put it away.I have proof of this, the candle was still burning when I entered.The people who came to clean it were careless and even forgot to turn off the lights. Of course, they may have left things indiscriminately. "

When Jane heard this, she frowned angrily: "You're talking nonsense! The seal of the knight Elandia is in her own room on the second floor. Why is it on the first floor? I came here to light this candlestick on purpose. , so that the guests can see the bright room when they enter the door, it’s a courtesy!"

Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes: "That's why you messed up things when you went to the second floor to clean..."

"I don't have the time to go to the second floor to waste time!" Jane said angrily, "It was almost nine o'clock when the knight Elandia and I parted. I hurried in and lit a candle, and then hurried to meet The knight Orianna is here, otherwise I will be late!"

"I can testify." Orianna said, "Jane really ran all the way to be on time. She didn't even have time to light the lights."

Gongsun Ce nodded and smiled inexplicably.

"Ha...very good. I admit that I was just talking nonsense..." Gongsun Ce changed the subject, "But what does this have to do with me, Mr. Gongsun? You still haven't proved that I'm a thief. It's no use just screaming outside."

Jane's tone became cold: "Why do you think I screamed! It's because I saw your despicable behavior, and I was deeply horrified by your shameful ugliness, so I reacted like this!"

Gongsun Ce leaned forward all of a sudden, and his tone became serious: "Did you see it? Miss Jian, this is not a joke. Please tell me seriously, what did you see?"

Jane took a deep breath, put her hands on her chest, and said in a straight voice: "King Morton, I swear to my best friend and most trusted colleague, the knight Elandia, I did see A black figure ran past the window with a stamp box in its hand."

Gongsun Ce suddenly stood up from the sofa, and said loudly: "This is really the most meaningless testimony I have ever seen in my life. A black figure! Just because I am also dressed in black, are you going to say it is me? Too Sorry, Miss Jane, there is another explanation for this speech: there is another man in black hiding in the room, laughing at your clumsy reasoning!"

Jane's tone also became cold and stern: "Really? Excuse me, everyone, is there really a fifth person in this room?"

"No." "No."

Ailandia and Mo Yuankai denied at the same time, the round-faced girl sighed, shook her head and said, "That's enough, Mr. Gongsun. I don't want to say any more, if you keep pestering me so stubbornly, your face—— "

"Aha! You have nothing to say, you incompetent, ignorant, and childish woman. You are not worthy of arguing with me!" Gongsun Ce said aggressively, "How ridiculous! You are such a lack of wisdom, you can slap your face with a swollen face." Fatty, come to investigate my deceitful words?"

These words obviously irritated Jane, and she stomped her feet angrily: "You... I wanted to save you the last bit of face... Okay! Since you are so shameless, I don't need to talk about favors! I was You can see clearly, the man in black is you!"

"Nonsense!" Gongsun Ce slapped the sofa and shouted angrily, "The second floor is completely dark, how did you come to be able to see my face clearly?"

"You are very clear in your heart, Mr. Gongsun." Jane walked to the small round table and picked up the candlestick that illuminated the first floor.

"This candlestick was not placed here before. I placed it well in the middle of the house to provide light for the first floor. You took it to the second floor in order to steal in a dark environment! It did help you It illuminated the path of the crime, but it also illuminated your despicable face!"

"..."

Gongsun Ce collapsed on the sofa as if he had lost his bones, his face was as pale as paper.He bit his nails nervously, took a breath, and said intermittently: "You...you spout blood...it's all framed! You have no evidence!"

Orianna looked worriedly at the young man beside him, Mo Yuankai's shoulders trembled slightly, and he covered his face with his hands, without saying a word.

The kind female knight couldn't help feeling sorry for him, how heartbroken Mo Yuankai must be at this moment!She wanted to call it a stop, and wanted to persuade the Dawn Knight to keep the matter private, but Jane's words were faster than her actions. "I'll give you evidence!"

Jane showed the box in her hand, and there was a drop of solidified wax on the edge of the box.

"You took the candlestick to steal, but didn't notice that the wax oil dripped on the box in your hand. This is the evidence you can't deny!"

This is really hard evidence, and Gongsun Ce has nothing to say.A confident look appeared on Jane's face, but at this moment, the boy in black suddenly stood up from the sofa!
"--marvelous!"

Gongsun Ce clapped his hands vigorously, like an audience paying tribute to the magician's wonderful performance. "I apologize to you, Miss Jane! You are not incompetent at all, and you are not stupid. Although you are plain in appearance, you have real abilities. Your sharp mind is worthy of your identity, and your ability to adapt to changes is even more surprising to me. Perfect logic and exposition! What a masterpiece!!"

"Ah... you..." Jane was a little dizzy from the praise, and she blushed a little, "so... well, it's not really a matter of going to prison... If you ask the knight Elendy Apologize to Ya and ask..."

"Oh, I don't."

The expression on Gongsun Ce's face changed, and he smiled sinisterly.His smile was so gloomy that Orianna felt a sense of foreboding, as if something bad was about to happen.

"From now on, this matter has nothing to do with the Dawn Knight. Miss Jane, this is a matter between me and you. Your deduction is so good, it opened my eyes. So I want to give you a gift... A little surprise."

He stood up from the sofa, walked quickly to the stairs, and raised his hand: "Please! Knight Orianna, you come first! Please!"

Orianna didn't understand what he wanted to do, she stepped on the spiral staircase in a daze, and walked up to the second floor.

"...ah." Orianna exclaimed.

Everyone followed behind her, and saw that above the dozen or so steps, the second floor was brightly lit.The same candlestick as on the first floor is placed at the end of the corridor, and the faint fire light illuminates all the spaces on the second floor.

Yes, the second floor is bright.There aren't any dark corners.

Gongsun Ce walked towards the candlestick quickly, almost running, but it took several seconds to reach the end of the corridor.

"The candle is needed because the environment is dark. The face can be illuminated because the candle is held in the hand. The inference can be proved because the wax oil of the candlestick drips on the box...it is a reasonable reasoning..."

He picked up the candlestick on the second floor, turned around, and pointed the candlelight at the entourage of the Dawn Knight.

"I just don't know why I, a little thief, want to advance with a candlestick in this brightly lit floor!"

The proud blush on Jian's face has not faded, but half of it has turned into horror.The candlelight shone on Gongsun Ce's face, and the flickering light made the smiling young man look like a demon in human skin.

"My clown show is over, Jane Diella." Gongsun Ce put the candlestick back on the table and made a soft noise, "Now, it's your turn."
