Qin spoke very seriously, making it clear that the case to be tried this time must be very serious.

"Is there anything we need to do? By the way, why haven't we seen Abedo? He's the leader of the investigation team, right?"

The traveler also asked.

"Traveler, you are very perceptive, which is why I invited you here."

In the upcoming court proceedings, we will do our utmost to seek the truth and deliver a fair trial to Mr. Abedo, the captain of the Western Knights' investigation team.

Aberdo was the one being judged, which not only shocked Paimon, but also shocked the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent.

In Douluo Continent, Soul Saints can basically ignore most laws, not to mention Title Douluos.

Killing one or two people is no big deal for a Title Douluo. Even if he kills the heir of a powerful force, it is just a conflict between two forces and has nothing to do with the law.

The law only binds commoners; it cannot even bind nobles.

Abedo is a creation of the witch R. In the context of Douluo Continent, he would be the son of a god. Who would dare to judge the son of a god?

Besides finding it unbelievable, those watching the celestial canopy were also curious about what crime Abedo had committed to be on trial.

Subversion of the state? Blasphemy? Or something even more serious?

The scene on the screen shifted, and the group had arrived at the courtroom.

Abedo, the one being judged, sits in the middle, with Keia acting as Abedo's representative.

Thalia, the deacon of the Church of the West Wind, served as a juror.

The logistics captain, Herta, was the accuser, and the others were either Abedo's relatives or witnesses; there were no outsiders present.

As the trial began, the accuser, Herta, spoke first.

"Prior to this trial, the Church and the Knights had conducted an in-depth investigation into Abedo's murder of Mondstadt residents and his concealment of the bodies, and had obtained relevant evidence."

Paimon was astonished. She was surprised that Abedo would kill someone. After knowing him for so long, she couldn't believe that Abedo would do such a thing.

The people of Douluo Continent watching the sky were even more surprised, but for completely different reasons.

It's surreal that someone would be tried for simply killing someone.

It can only be said that different worlds lead to vastly different worldviews. The idea of ​​commoners being judged and granted the title of Douluo is a joke to the people of Douluo Continent.

However, the people of Douluo Continent also began to envy Mondstadt. It was a place where even the sons of gods would be judged for murder, so the common people must live a good life.

Although the common people of Teyvat are also threatened by monsters, overall they are definitely living much better lives than the common people of Douluo Continent.

Qian Renxue returned to Tiandou City with Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, also there for the trial.

The resurrection of the Angel Goddess brought new life to the Spirit Hall, and she will use judgment to rebuild the glory of the Spirit Hall.

"Where the glory of angels shines, all evil will be judged!"

Both Demon-Slaying Douluo and Thousand-Pound Douluo looked at Qian Renxue with satisfaction, thinking that their child had finally grown up and matured.

Bishop Salas of Tiandou City was unaware that the blade of judgment was already at his throat.

Meanwhile, on the screen above, Hertha's accusations against Aberdo continued.

"Eleven days ago, late at night, a witness claimed to have seen the defendant dragging a large object some distance southeast of Mondstadt. It was later determined to be a human corpse."

Miss Beatrice, please state the facts you witnessed.

Beatrice stepped forward and said, "That night I went out on an errand and came back late. On the way, I saw Mr. Abedo by the moonlight. He was dragging a strange big bag."

I found it strange and quietly followed. Suddenly, a golden power flashed, and I used the light to discover that the bag was open, and inside was... a corpse.

Abedo used elemental power, so dealing with the ground was easy for him. After burying the body, he cleaned up the traces.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I think he glanced back at me. I was terrified, afraid I was going to die there. Luckily, he didn't notice me.

Beatrice spoke in great detail and did not seem to be lying.

"Defendant Abedo, where were you eleven nights ago?"

"I work in my office on the second floor of the Knights' quarters."

"Indeed, ten days ago the defendant submitted the latest environmental survey report on the snow mountain area to the Knights, which, judging from the amount of text, must have taken a lot of time."

Kaiya, acting as Abedo's agent, also spoke up.

"Can anyone definitively prove that the defendant was working at the Knights that night and did not leave?"

"No!"

"Therefore, textual evidence alone will not be sufficient to serve as an alibi for the defendant."

Such a trial was quite novel for the people of Douluo Continent; in fact, even the people of the Order Academy had rarely seen such a trial scene.

Most criminals in Sumeru are dealt with by the disciplinary officials, and there is basically no trial. If the case is really complicated, Nasita can find out the truth just by taking a look with her permission.

In Fontaine, court hearings truly became a common practice, turning into a daily pastime.

Fontaine is a place where anyone can be judged, even the god who ultimately judges himself.

Back in the courtroom at Skyfall, Kaiya raised a new question.

"If the defendant really did commit murder and hide the body, then it's impossible that there wasn't a body. Did the joint investigation by the church and the Knights find the existence of a body?"


"In other words, you dug up the place Miss Beatrice mentioned, but didn't find a body. There's definitely something wrong with that."

"But I really saw it, it's true!"

Beatrice quickly spoke up, saying that being found guilty of perjury would be a very serious matter.

"Although we didn't find the body, we didn't come away empty-handed. We found a shoe and a piece of rag, which are both pieces of evidence."

They all appeared near the scene; if there was no crime, it's too much of a coincidence.

"But the deceased's identity has not yet been determined, right?"

"This is indeed one of the points of doubt, but there is no animosity between the witness and the defendant, so there is no need for the witness to commit perjury. Therefore, the possibility of a criminal act cannot be ruled out."

Mr. Abedo, what would you like to say about this?

In Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue, looking at the image on the celestial screen, asked Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, "Should we also conduct the trial in this way?"

"Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Demon-Slaying Douluo frowned.

"Time is not important. Using the Sky Curtain for trials will certainly attract attention and demonstrate the Spirit Hall's change and fairness. Xue'er, go ahead and do it."

"Grandpa Qianjun, Grandpa Jiangmo, thank you for your support."

They arrived at the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City, where the Demon-Slaying Douluo directly took control of Salas.

Qian Renxue then ordered the others to build a temporary trial platform according to the pattern shown on the sky.
