This is the current environment in Fontainebleau. The rich have already run away. What’s the point for poor people like them and ordinary people with average financial conditions to be afraid?
It’s better to just have fun!
As long as they treat all murders as fun, no matter how terrible the case is, it can't scare them!
And most of the recent cases were so funny that they easily lost their sense of reality.
This resulted in them being only slightly surprised and frightened after seeing the corpse, and their heads were filled with thoughts of just watching the fun!
That Villette's face darkened, then he turned around and looked at Linnie who was confused, and sighed silently in his heart.
Sure enough, his premonition was confirmed.
This time the target is the Fatui, could it be the Fatui's enemy?
While thinking, Villette maintained order at the scene.
What made Navilette feel less worried was that the audience was much calmer than he had imagined. Most of them even sat back in their seats, looking forward to further developments.
That Villette shook her head helplessly, then looked at Linny and Linnet who were being held by the security team.
Because Linny was the lead actor in this magic show and he was one of the candidates to perform the exchange magic, Linny was a major suspect in the murder.
And because Linnet was Linni's assistant, she was also controlled.
The two men were about to face charges of murder. After knowing the result, they remained calm, but Linnie still looked a little dazed.
Because the security team needed to collect evidence first, they temporarily left the two aside.
Just at this time, Linnet moved a little closer to Linny and asked in a low voice.
"Brother, what did you see down there?"
Linnet did not ask Linnie what happened to the deceased because she knew Linnie's plan and had no time to check on the deceased's condition.
Lini did not hide anything and immediately told everything he had seen.
"I followed the plan and entered the ventilation duct to get closer to the core of the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment. However, there was a lot of Law Compensation Mixed Energy there, so I didn't go too deep."
Having said that, Linnie paused, then spoke immediately as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, I seemed to hear a woman sighing there."
After hearing these words, Linnet was also a little dazed.
In a place that even her brother couldn't penetrate, there was actually a female voice.
It seems that they have found the right direction this time. The [Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment] must be hiding a huge secret!
Although they had made great gains, the most urgent task now was to clear Linnie of suspicion of murder.
To do this, they must deduce the real murderer.
So Linny and Linnet began to sort out the case from beginning to end, and in the middle of the process they asked the security team for the clues they found.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that there is no third person in the underground passage, and there are no mechanisms or secret doors.
That is to say, when the crime happened, it seemed to others that there were only Linny and the deceased in the underground passage.
And judging from the location of the bloodstains, the deceased was killed shortly after the countdown began.
Hearing about the blood, Linny immediately looked at the soles of his shoes and sure enough, there was some residual blood.
It turned out that the liquid he stepped on was actually blood, and he didn't notice the bloody smell in the air because he was in a hurry to use the power of the Eye of God.
"It seems that I am more suspicious now."
Linnie smiled bitterly and spoke.
Seeing the bloodstains, Linnett also felt that something was wrong.
However, before they could come up with a plan, the [Judgment] was about to begin.
Linny and Linnet were taken to the accused seat by the guards, while the guards acted as the accusers.
With a solemn expression, Villette moved from the audience to the judge's seat, then slowly sat down. He glanced at the audience whose faces showed some expectation and excitement, as well as the siblings Linny and Linnet who were standing in the accused seat a little uneasy, and finally spoke solemnly and seriously.
"The trial begins now."
"The security team will now briefly introduce the details of the case."
"Yes, then Master Villette!"
After hearing what Villette said, a guard stepped forward and explained the details of the case and some clues they had found.
Chapter 31: Linny: I just stole Fontaine's information, I didn't kill anyone
Soon, the security team gave a brief description of the case and then began to show the evidence the security team had found.
"The only person who could have come into contact with the deceased at the time of the incident could have been Mr. Linney, because we did not find any other person in the underground passage, nor did we find a place where a third person could be hiding."
"Furthermore, the bloodstains in the underground passage showed signs of being stepped on by someone. It should be that the murderer accidentally stepped on them when he fled the scene in a panic."
"Mr. Linney, could you please show us the soles of your shoes?"
Linnie did not answer, nor did he try to hide it. He just showed the soles of his shoes, and then everyone present saw the blood stains on the soles of his shoes.
"This bloodstain is enough to prove that Mr. Linney left his box and committed a crime against the victim during the magic show."
"Mr. Linney, the evidence is irrefutable. Please plead guilty!"
After hearing the statement from the security team, Villette looked towards Linnie and spoke calmly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Linnie, do you have anything else to refute?"
After seeing this scene, the audience at the scene began to discuss it.
"Why does it feel like this case is closed?"
"What about the reversal? I want to see the reversal!"
"How boring! How can there be such a boring case? I waited for nothing."
"The final verdict hasn't been announced yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
……
Feeling the commotion around him, Linnie knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would probably be convicted and imprisoned.
So Linnie had no choice but to speak loudly to everyone.
"not me."
"From the moment I entered the box, I never saw the deceased again."
"Because during that time, I approached the area where the core of the [Cardinal of Oracle] is located through the underground ventilation duct."
"Although I have cleared away all traces along the way, I can tell you everything I saw as decisive evidence that I have indeed been to those places."
"This also proves that I did not have the time to commit the crime, because the bloodstains first appeared closer to the other party's initial position."
"And I didn't return to the passage until the last ten seconds were counted down, and that's when I accidentally stepped on the blood."
Having said this, Linnie paused, then continued.
"As for how to prove this, I heard the countdown in the audience seats was about to end, so I almost used my fastest speed to shuttle through the entire underground passage."
"If you check, you will find that not only one of my feet is stained with blood, but also the bloody footprints on the ground are spaced far enough apart."
The reason why Linny was willing to reveal his real purpose and clear himself of suspicion was that if he was only investigating the situation of the [Cardinal of Oracle] and did not do anything dangerous, Alechino would settle the follow-up matters for him, and Zhidong would also negotiate with Fontaine.
But if he was imprisoned for murder, even Zhidong would not be able to get him out of prison through diplomatic means.
He may face other accusations from Fontaine later, but now he has been basically cleared of suspicion of murder.
After hearing what Linnie said, everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out that this is how the case becomes interesting!
Of course, there were also patriots who denounced Linney.
"Mr. Linney, I originally thought that you were different from the other Fatui, but it turns out that you just hid yourself too well?"
"Everything you did before was to spy on our Fontaine and then seek benefits for Zhidong. You deceived all of us!"
"That's right, such behavior is simply unforgivable!"
……
"That's not the case, everyone listen to me!"
Linnie placed his hand on his chest anxiously and began to explain.
"Everything I did before was sincere, because I am also a Fontaine person, and I love Fontaine too!"
Linnet stepped forward and grabbed Linnie's hand, giving him some comfort.
Linny looked back at Linnette, and Linnette nodded to Linny.
Linnie finally calmed down a little, and then explained to everyone again.
"The reason I do these things is to deal with the prophecy that will come soon!"
"prophecy?"
After hearing what Linnie said, the audience started talking.
"He prophesied, is it true?"
"Even the water of the original fetal sea is there. Could it be true?"
"That's too terrible, Damn! I'll fire my boss when I get back. Why would I save money to buy a house? I'll use it all!"
……
"The prophecy Mr. Linney mentioned is still under investigation. Please do not discuss matters unrelated to the case during the [trial]."
Although Navilette had basically confirmed that the prophecy was very likely to be true, exposing it too early would cause great panic in society and cause great damage to the existing order. Therefore, Navilette spoke up in time to interrupt everyone's discussion.
Villette turned his gaze to Linny. Although he was also curious about the location where the core of the [Cardinal Oracle Judgment] was stored, now was not a good time to ask.
"I will now send someone to verify Mr. Linney's testimony."
After receiving Navilette's order, the security team quickly conducted a detailed inspection of the area near the ventilation vents and gave Navilette a reply shortly afterwards.
After hearing the results of the security team's investigation report, Navilette nodded, then looked at the audience and spoke loudly.
"After the security team's investigation just now, the place is indeed as Mr. Linnie described."
"That is to say, when the crime happened, Mr. Lini was not in the underground passage, but went to the core room where the [Cardinal of Oracle] was placed."
"In this case, Mr. Linney would not have had the time to commit the crime, and would not be the murderer of the deceased in this case."
"If the security team cannot provide more new evidence, I can make a final judgment."
After hearing Villette's question, the security team began to exchange the clues they had discovered and discuss whether there was any evidence that could overturn Linnie's statement.
However, until the end, the security team still failed to produce any new and strong evidence.
Navilette then activated the [Cardinal's Oracle of Judgment] to make the final judgment on the case.
Linny and Linnette watched the operation of the [Cardinal Oracle] with a little nervousness. Although their suspicion had been cleared, what if?
Isn't that what happened to Tartaglia? It was clearly confirmed that he was not in Fontaine at the time of the crime, but the [Cardinal of the Decree] still found him guilty and is now hammering out parts in Melo Petersburg.
Fortunately, after the [Executive] Tartaglia was imprisoned, it would not be so embarrassing even if they were also imprisoned.
Finally, this time the [Cardinal Decree] gave a not guilty verdict. After Navillaette announced the result, the siblings Linny and Linnet were acquitted.
"Brother, it's over."
"No, Linnet, it's not over yet."
Linnie looked at the place where the "lucky audience member", who was also one of his magic assistants, died, and spoke in a low voice.
"Let's find the real culprit, Linnet."
Linnet nodded after hearing what Linnie said.
"Well, as long as my brother wants it, I will help."
Linny gave Linnet a doting smile and touched her head, but Linnet shot him down and glared at him.
"Hahaha……"
……
After a brief interlude, Linny and Linnette conducted a detailed investigation of the crime scene.
