Chapter 399 Paimon's Reasoning
"Linnie, you guys are... Faintheads?!"
Paimon stared at Linny and Linnet standing nearby with wide eyes.
Ever since they were beaten by the Lady in Mondstadt, the two of them have completely stood on the opposite side of the Fatui. Even Childe Tartaglia was beaten by Ying first.
"So the Fatui are behind the serial disappearance of young girls. This seems to be the least surprising answer."
"Then I think that the accidents on stage are not necessarily accidents."
The information revealed by Funina caused the audience to talk about it, and only Ying remained silent.
'The stranger said nothing, looking very shocked. Hahaha, is it time for an internal fight next? This victory was too easy!'
"Huh... I was so nervous about this trial that I couldn't sleep the whole night. Oh my."
Seeing Ying said nothing, Funina felt a little proud.
"Hey, Linnie, why didn't you tell us about this!"
Paimon couldn't help but question Linny and the others.
"Please keep quiet, Mr. Linnie. I would like to confirm again the two points raised by Ms. Funina -"
"When you heard the muffled sound in the Opera House, you were not in the box and the tunnel, and you and Ms. Lynette were both members of the Hearth House."
"Is this true?"
Navillatte spoke up to stop the discussion at the scene, and then confirmed with Linnie.
"..."
"Please answer my question, Mr. Linney."
Linnie was a little hesitant to speak, so Villette urged him.
"Feel sorry……"
"Yes, Lord Judge, it is all true."
Linnie turned around and apologized to Ying, then nodded and admitted it to Villette.
After hearing Linnie's admission, the audience became even more excited, and some even felt that the verdict could be announced directly.
"…I would like to say a few words, Your Honor."
"My client has concealed key information. I request a recess. We need to communicate."
Ying, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and asked Villette to adjourn the court temporarily.
"There's no need for that. It's already been decided."
"If you even lie to the people you hire to defend yourself, what can you expect from communication?"
Some viewers wanted to see the verdict earlier, and said impatiently that most of them no longer believed in this great magician after knowing Linnie's identity.
"quiet."
"The request is reasonable. We will adjourn the court here. The trial will resume in an hour."
That Villette agreed to Ying's request, and the trial was stopped midway.
……
During recess, both official personnel and audiences basically stay inside the opera house, after all, the recess only lasts for an hour.
And Funina, who was sitting in the VIP seat, went to enjoy the cake prepared for her by her subordinates, and even Villette left the table temporarily.
"Drink less water next time. You drink ten glasses of water for one serving of popcorn."
Coming out of the opera house's toilet, Nangong Ya silently nodded at little Eugolia's head to remind her.
"But... popcorn is very dry and makes my throat uncomfortable..."
Little Egolia covered her forehead and explained weakly.
"Then I'll give you less next time."
"Eh? Don't..."
After walking around, Nangong Ya took little Egolia back to her seat.
It is worth mentioning that the dress of little Eugolia is very similar to the statue of the seven gods in Fontaine, so some people in Fontaine always feel very familiar with her when they see her, but they can't remember where they have seen her for a while.
After a while, the trial started again. Judging from the looks of Ying and Paimon, they should have communicated with Linny and the others.
"Both parties have returned to their positions and then our trial will continue."
That Villette also returned to the seat of Supreme Judge.
The trial resumed, and Funina told everyone the story of the case based on the new evidence she submitted.
The general situation is that when the countdown began, Linnie entered the tunnel and fought with the missing girl Halsey, which caused the muffled sound. Afterwards, Linnie successfully knocked the other party out with a vase.
In order to avoid being recognized, she took off her coat, but in the process, she was discovered by Cowell, the magic assistant who happened to hear the noise. So Linney knocked Cowell unconscious again and put him in the box.
Linney then handed the unconscious Halsey over to his accomplice, who then used a mechanism to make it look like Cowell had died in an accident.
The above is the case narrated by Funina.
Ying and Paimon whispered and reasoned about this, and after a while, Paimon suddenly put on the glasses and beard that he had bought at some unknown time.
"Detective Paimon has something to say!"
Paimon crossed his arms and began to refute Furninna's story.
According to what they learned, Linnie was indeed not in the tunnel, but he actually sneaked into the room of the underground core of the Cardinal's Oracle through the ventilation duct, and immediately returned because he heard someone talking there.
When he returned, the crime scene had already been set, and in order to successfully complete the magic trick, Linney had no time to linger.
After he returned to the magic box to complete the magic, an accident suddenly happened.
"It was precisely because Linney was not in the magic box or in the underground passage that he was unaware of the noise [during the performance]."
Paimon said proudly that this was the whole process that she and Ying deduced together.
"Tsk... You actually use this kind of logic..."
"Well, then, then tell me! If Lini didn't do this, who else could it be?!"
Finina didn't expect Paimon to use this kind of logic to explain, so she had to point the finger at the murderer.
"Uh……"
Paimeng was stunned for a moment, and had to move closer to Ying to continue communicating and reasoning.
Having ruled out all the impossible options, the only murderer left is... the victim Cowell himself!
But after they pointed out that the murderer was the victim herself, another question arose: where did the missing girl Halsey go...
"Huh, so that's how it is. It's just bluffing. I thought you were confident, but I didn't expect that you were so far from the truth."
Seeing that Ying and Paimon seemed stumped, Furninna regained her smug expression.
Ying and Paimon thought about it in confusion, and after a while Ying suddenly looked at Linnet.
In the previous water tank performance, Linnett suddenly disappeared, leaving only her clothes in the water tank.
What if the coat that Halsey took off was actually...
Thinking of this, Ying brought up the possibility that people disappeared and turned into water, and suggested checking the luggage of the deceased Cowell.
And just as Ying guessed, some liquid called primordial fetal sea water was discovered in test tubes, and there was also a notebook recording that the primordial fetal sea water could dissolve the Fontaine people.
So Ying and Paimon came up with a new reasoning again, assuming that the missing girl had dissolved in the magic box, and the water tank that Cowell used to cover up the evidence of the person being dissolved into water killed himself due to some accident.
"It's over. Even I think their analysis makes sense. I didn't really wrongly accuse a good person, did I? It's so, so embarrassing..."
After hearing Paimon's reasoning, even Funina found it very reasonable.
But at this moment, a member of the security team provided new clues.
I just found the original fetal sea water in Linny's suitcase...
The situation that should have been clear suddenly reversed.
