"Both sides have returned to their positions, so our trial will continue."

Since Mr. Linni believed that Ms. Funina's new evidence was true before the recess, Ms. Funina, please recount the case.

Standing on the judge's platform above the lecture hall, Villette's solemn voice rang out.

Fontaine...

"Who are you!"

Fimini stared intently at the plain-looking girl in front of her who was eating, her eyes filled with wariness and suspicion.

He had just returned from the turbulent sea, soaking wet and exhausted.

The moment he stepped into his home, he had hoped to relax, but he never expected to find a strange girl there.

Fimini’s voice carried a hint of alarm, as if questioning why the other party had intruded into her private space.

His body tensed slightly, ready to deal with whatever might happen.

The girl was clearly startled by Fimini's sudden question.

She nearly dropped the food in her hand. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to explain something, but in her panic, she didn't know how to begin.

Her eyes flickered, as if she was trying to figure out how to answer Fimini's question.

However, her nervousness made her throat dry, and she found it difficult to make a sound for a moment.

Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open without warning! The "boy" looked up sharply, his gaze falling on the doorway—where he saw Fimini in a defensive stance, while the girl standing next to her looked panicked and terrified.

The three of them stared at each other, momentarily stunned, and the whole scene fell into an eerie silence... They gazed at each other, their eyes revealing a variety of complex emotions: surprise, confusion, embarrassment, and even a hint of barely perceptible fear.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. No one spoke or moved. Only a gentle breeze brushed their cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Fimini!"

The boy shouted seriously.

"Ah, Your Excellency..."

"I look at the boy in a panic and say this."

"You should get busy. I brought this girl back, so leave now!"

The boy explained seriously, then looked at the girl.

"Let's go, we should be back now that we've eaten! Don't worry, your case isn't serious, and turning yourself in will get you a lighter sentence."

The boy said with a smile.

"okay, I get it."

The girl stood up, straightened her clothes, and nodded to the boy.

Fimini watched the two leave, lost in thought. The boy didn't care what she was thinking; he just wanted to get her to the opera house as quickly as possible.

opera……

"Do you remember... how you overturned Linnie's alibi?"

Ying looked firmly at Funina on the other side and said.

“I remember. What’s wrong? If he was in the magic box the whole time, how could he not have heard that muffled thud?”

Funina nodded confidently and said, but then suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking at the traveler's smile, she began to think.

"You mean..."

Funina muttered to herself.

“That’s right. It’s precisely because Linni wasn’t in the magic box or in the underground pipes that we didn’t hear that noise. This means that when the incident occurred, Linni had already climbed into the underground passage and entered the basement!”

Paimon stepped forward and patted his chest.

"Hmph, the clue you used to disprove Linni's alibi has now become the best evidence of his alibi."

Paimon pouted, crossed her arms, and said smugly.

Upon hearing this, the audience below was also quite surprised, as there was actually a twist.

"Then tell me, if Linni didn't do this, then who did it?"

Fu Ningna felt a little flustered after hearing this, but as a celebrity, how could she not control her expression? She forced a smile and said...

“Yes, who else but the Fools would do such a thing?”

"Exactly, they're all in cahoots."

The audience below were buzzing with discussion.

"quiet…………"

A powerful voice came from the high platform, where Violet stood tall and imposing, and with just two words, she announced the marriage.

"Haha, here you are. I've been waiting for you to ask me this question. Well then, I'll tell you. But before that, Your Honor, please have someone inspect the deceased Cowell's belongings..."

Ying smiled with satisfaction and said to Vilette.

"Ah, are you serious? How is that possible?"

Paimon said incredulously.

"Ha! Really? That's interesting! How could a victim be the murderer? What evidence do you have to prove that?"

Funina responded just as defiantly.

Her voice carried a hint of firmness and confidence, as if she were very certain of her point of view. She stared intently into Ying's eyes, as if trying to see through her gaze to her true innermost thoughts.

"Lord Water God, please be patient. I will send someone to fetch the evidence immediately."

Ying pursed her lips, trying to maintain a smile, but in reality, she wasn't very confident and was even a little flustered.

After all, whether what the executive said is true still needs further verification.

If no conclusive evidence is ultimately found, not only will you be disappointed, but the foolish crowd may also feel a sense of disappointment stemming from wishful thinking.

After saying that, he looked at Navelette.

"Ms. Ying, what evidence do you have that allowed the security detail to inspect the victim Cowell's luggage?"

Navelette looked at Ying with a grave expression, realizing that the case was not so simple.

"If there were a way to melt a person into water, then that muffled thud would be the result of a fight between the two victims. Cowell tried to dissolve the girl, but the girl resisted out of fear and locked Cowell in the box. In the end, she was dissolved by the water. This also explains why we only saw clothes floating in the puddle of water when we investigated the crime scene."

Ying described her ideas for the investigation.

"So, if the murderer had already completed his plan during the minute Linnie was in the basement, but didn't expect the girl to resist, then there's only one truth: Cowell is the murderer, and he must have had the murder weapon in his backpack."

Paimon continued speaking, picking up where Ying left off. He then mimicked the detective's gesture, making a hook with his hand and resting his chin on it, looking quite smug.

"Wait! Hahaha, I sincerely hope you realize how absurd your words are. A person turning into water? How is that possible? That's magic, how could it possibly happen?"

After hearing Ying and Paimon's explanation, Funina sneered, looking at them as if they were idiots. She thought to herself, "Are they idiots? Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?"

“Your Honor, I have given my reasons. Please investigate Cowell’s luggage; there may be some unexpected findings.”

Ying ignored Funina and spoke to Navelette.

"Is it really necessary? Your Linnie should know the truth best... Magic is ultimately just an illusion, while the girl in the case truly disappeared. How can they be compared?"

Fu Ningna's eyes turned serious, and she pointed at Linni with a furious tone.

"No, even so, I trust Ying's judgment!"

Linni stood in front of Ying and said.

Just as the two sides were arguing back and forth, Navelette began to speak.

“I believe this is a legitimate request from the defense. Since the case is still inconclusive at this stage, supplementing the evidence would be beneficial to the progress of the trial. Therefore, I agree with Ying’s request. Please have the guards enter the lounge and investigate Cowell’s personal belongings.”

Villette's gaze became extremely solemn, and she spoke in a low and firm voice.

Some time later, the guards brought back the news.

"The investigation is ongoing, but we have found a very important clue that we want to share with everyone here immediately. In Cowell's luggage, we found several test tubes containing liquid, each labeled. His notebook in his backpack states that this liquid is called 'Primordial Sea of ​​Origin Water'!"

"That's what a middle-aged security guard named Esmond said."

"【Original Fetal Ocean】"

Upon hearing this, Navelette fell into deep thought.

"The notes indicate that Cowell belongs to an organization that sells illegal drugs and has partners who cooperate in carrying out the plan. The notebook contains many notes on safe use and mentions the keyword 'dissolve' multiple times. However, one test tube is marked with 'Opicalai Opera House' and yesterday's date, and it is now an empty bottle. The notes also mention that this dissolving property is only effective on Fontaines, and that the girl may have been chosen as a test subject. Therefore, we believe that the conjecture proposed by Linnifang has sufficient evidence to support it."

The guard continued, and the audience fell silent, all stunned by his words. They remained speechless for a long time after he finished speaking.

"Are you kidding me? A person can be dissolved into water...?"

At this moment, a surprised audience member, after listening, looked on in disbelief and said, "This is real."

"Is this absurd thing really true?"

"Wait, this reminds me of a prophecy. It must be a coincidence, right?"

Once one of them spoke, the audience below began to discuss it.

Somewhere in the audience, Navia was watching this phenomenon and something came to mind.
