"That's it. If my accusation against you is not true, then I will die."

Everyone around was sincerely impressed by the man's words, and couldn't help but lean towards him even more.

"Lady Funina, we don't need to continue persuading him."

Hearing the girl's words, Furninna spoke anxiously.

"This isn't right. Even if his accusation against me is wrong, even if he has some misunderstandings about me, as long as the misunderstandings are resolved, at most he can be punished. There's no need to go to the point of death!"

"But he cannot bear the charge of slandering God."

The girl looked at Funina and spoke slowly.

"When the truth comes out, even if Lady Furninna is merciful and forgives his crimes, others will not tolerate him."

"At that time, his life would not be much better than death."

"But, but, anyway, being alive is better than being dead."

After hearing the girl's words, Funina spoke anxiously.

Suddenly, Funina thought of something and spoke to the man not far away.

"Hey, listen to me."

"If it is your accusation that is wrong in the end, I want you to continue to live and accept all the consequences. This is my punishment for you!"

"Punishment? Really? Then you are really cruel."

The man shook his head sarcastically.

"Why do you have to make things difficult for people like us when no one would care if we suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth?"

"Forget it, I don't want to say anything more to you."

The man looked at the girl and spoke again.

"Ms. Emily, the trial can begin now."

"You seem anxious."

The girl smiled at the man and then continued.

"Since you are so anxious, let's get started."

"According to the rules of Fontaine, as the accuser, you need to provide relevant evidence to support your accusation against Lady Funina."

"Humph, someone saw the water goddess Funina coming to this area around the time of the crime."

"Excuse me, Mr. Water God, why did you come to this place during that time instead of participating in the battle between you and Mr. Tartaglia?"

"Obviously, it was you who came to the crime scene at that time and brutally killed all my brothers!"

"In addition to this, I just got the surveillance footage from that time. This surveillance footage not only proves the lady's testimony, but also clearly captures the scene of the water goddess Funina entering this area."

"Miss Emily, you said this place is so remote that my brothers have no reason to come here. Then I have the same reason to ask the water goddess Funina."

"May I ask why you came to such a remote place at that time? Can you just say 'I have no comment' to clear yourself of suspicion?"

After hearing what the man said, everyone around him nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

At first, they didn't believe what Funina said. They had lived in Melopenerburg for so many years and had never been to the restricted area, but they basically knew what was in other places.

If there was a restricted area in the direction where Funina was heading, they might still believe Funina's words, but there was no restricted area nearby, so Funina's words were totally untenable.

In their opinion, what Furninna said was just an excuse to exonerate herself.

"Miss Emily, my last piece of advice to you is to stop working for the water goddess Funina. It's not worth it!"

"Are you finished?"

The girl looked at the man with a smile, completely unmoved by his words.

"Now that we've finished speaking, it's our turn."

The man snorted coldly and finally gave up trying to persuade the girl.

"Since you said that there was a surveillance camera that captured Lady Funina's figure, then it must have also captured what she was holding at the time."

A bright smile appeared on the girl's face.

"That's the cake I made for Lady Funina myself. I hope it can keep her in a good mood while she's doing something important."

"So may I ask this sir, if Lady Funina was going to kill someone as you said, then why did she bring the cake I made with her?"

"That's not hard to explain."

After hearing the girl's question, the man directly spoke up and refuted.

"The power of the water goddess Funina is so strong that she can easily create a murder scene by controlling the water element without any manipulation."

"Perhaps the Water God particularly enjoys the feeling of eating cake in a pool of blood?"

After hearing what the man said, Finina immediately became angry and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she held back and turned her gaze to the girl.

"You are right. With Lady Funina's strength, even if she carries some irrelevant things, it will not have much impact on her."

"But you overlooked one point. When you saw Lady Funina, she didn't have any cake with her."

"That means during this period, Funina ate the cake."

"Then we only need to search carefully the place where Lady Funina ate the cake and we should be able to find the box and tableware that contained the cake."

"What a powerful counterattack!"

Charlotte waved her arms excitedly, then adjusted her position to give the girl a gorgeous close-up, and finally began to write furiously to record the scene faithfully.

"So what? Couldn't the water goddess Funina have killed someone and then enjoyed the cake somewhere else?"

"Unfortunately, based on the time of the victim's death, it was estimated to be within half an hour before the body was found."

"Obviously, your story about killing someone and then leisurely going somewhere else to enjoy the cake is not true."

The girl spoke calmly.

"I guess you must be thinking that Lady Funina might eat the cake first and then go kill people, right?"

"However, the first person who discovered the crime scene was cleaning the pipes regularly, and her movements were from outside to inside."

"The crime scene was a dead end. I have already questioned the person. While she was cleaning the pipe, she did not see anyone coming out."

After hearing what the girl said, the man immediately retorted.

"Doesn't this prove that the murderer is the water goddess Funina? As a god, she can easily deceive the eyes and ears of mortals without making a sound!"

“It can be done, but it’s not necessary.”

The girl said with a smile.

"If you ask why, it's because Lady Funina is a god, and an extremely high-profile god."

"If the murderer really did deliberately avoid the first witness, this just proves that the murderer couldn't be Lady Funina!"

After hearing the girl's inference, the people around were originally somewhat inclined to the man, but now even they had to admit that this was unlikely to be Funina's style.

Furninna wanted to be happy about this situation, but it was difficult to be happy.

She didn't really want to be so high-profile, but she didn't expect that in the end it was because of this high-profile style that she was cleared of suspicion.

"You are just speculating, not proving it at all!"

"Sir, your accusation is also unfounded. According to the latest revised law of Fontaine, the accuser needs to provide corresponding evidence to support the accusation in order for it to be established."

The man became a little annoyed after hearing what the girl said.

"This is Mello Petersburg, not that place on the water."

"Okay, since you believe in the water goddess Fernina so much, then tell me, in this Melo Petersburg, besides the water goddess Fernina and the Fatui [executor], who else can do such a thing?"

"The Fatui [Executor] was lying in the infirmary at the time. Is there anyone else who could do such a thing besides the water goddess Furninna?!"

After hearing the man's words, some people who had originally sided with Funina sided with him again.

In their view, this was absolute ironclad evidence, and no matter how many reasons Furninna used to refute it, it could not change the fact that she was the murderer.

"That's not necessarily the case."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the girl to listen to the follow-up, but they suddenly realized that the voice was not from the girl or even Furninda, but a male voice.

Tartaglia took two steps forward and spoke again.

"Actually, a researcher came to me a few days ago and said that he had obtained the Duke's permission and asked me to cooperate with him to test the latest weapons of the mechanical guards."

"I was bored at the time, so I became interested in what he said and participated in the weapons test."

Tartaglia continued speaking as he recalled.

"I have to say you guys at Fontaine are really something. A mechanical guard of that size can actually carry so much energy."

"Among the weapons on display at the time, there were also types that could cause as much damage as the crime scene."

After hearing what Tartaglia said, everyone else was stunned.

If that were the case, wouldn't that mean that anyone in Mellow Petersburg could be the murderer?

Wouldn't this trial of God become a joke?

"Of course it can be done, but the weapon is huge and requires more than ten mechanical guards to carry it. The energy consumed is also difficult to estimate. It is unlikely to be used in this case."

Finally, Tartaglia waved his hands, which caused public outrage.

"Then what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Damn you Winter Solstice people, please don't bother us here."

"Get out of the way now. Do you, a person from Zhidong, need to interfere in our Fengdan affairs?"

……

"You keep scolding me!"

Being verbally abused and unable to protect her family with words, Tartaglia decided to resolve the matter with force and started to roll up her sleeves, but was stopped by Charlotte who came in a hurry.

"Mr. Tartaglia, it seems your subordinates have woken up and are looking for you in the room. Please go over there quickly!"

After hearing Charlotte's words, Tartaglia felt a little headache. This group of subordinates also gave him a lot of worry.

If he remembered correctly, after knocking them out, they were still wearing the black tight leather jackets, fishnet stockings and rabbit ears.

What's even more terrifying is that the subordinates he chose are all male, and because of the lack of people who can help him share some of the firepower, a large proportion of them are ice and water fat. Just imagine it a little bit, it will be a despairing scene...

In order to prevent the situation where they were running around looking for him in the eye-catching clothes they were wearing and then being watched by everyone, Tartaglia decided to postpone the battle to defend his relatives for a while.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

After saying this, Tartaglia left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to the girl and Funina.

"We've managed it for now."

"Miss Emily, Lady Funina, you have to work hard!"

They both nodded to Charlotte almost at the same time.

"Then I'll go back and continue recording."

After saying this, Charlotte returned to her original position.

When the guard saw Charlotte coming, he expressed his gratitude to her.

Originally it was their responsibility to maintain order at the scene, but it was obvious that if Tartaglia really wanted to do it, they alone would not be able to stop him.

If they didn't stop the other party, they would be responsible for any consequences that might have occurred, so they were so grateful to Charlotte.

"Haha, aren't you a little disappointed, Miss Emily?"

"Originally, if the scope of suspects was expanded hundreds of times, the water goddess Funina would naturally be less suspicious. Unfortunately, luck doesn't seem to be on your side."

The problem returned to the starting point again, and the man felt a little proud.

"Obviously the murderer could be no one other than the water goddess Funina!"

"not like this."

The girl immediately denied the man's words.

Faintly, everyone seemed to hear the sound of a bullet being loaded.
