The Hyperdimensional Express Train takes you across the universe

Hearing Finina's question, Paimon and Ying blurted out without any hesitation.

"Of course it's the Fatui!"

Traveling all the way from Mondstadt, they met people from various countries and gained friendships. However, in the process, there was always a group of villains hanging around them, namely the Fatui.

The lady of Mondstadt, the prince of Liyue, the scattered soldiers of Inazuma, the doctor of Xumi, every country has an executive who acts as a villain.

In this case, you can't blame them for being prejudiced against the Fatui.

In fact, it is not just Ying and Paimon who are prejudiced against the Fatui. As Linny and Linnet's identities as Fatui were exposed, the audience who came to watch the trial looked at them with suspicion.

If this wasn't the Oprykle Opera House, where everything depended on evidence, but a place where the murderer was identified by voting, the Linnie siblings would have been identified as the murderer by now.

At this moment, even those who defended Linny were stunned by this information.

"My defense attorney concealed crucial information from me. I request a recess!"

The defense attorney said immediately.

Navelette did not stop this.

Soon, as Navillatte announced the opening of the court session again, the defense attorney presented to everyone the information he had learned during the recess and the information he had obtained from his own investigation of the crime scene.

After careful consideration, the defense attorney concluded that Linnie was not the murderer, but the deceased Cowell was the murderer.

His reasoning also made many viewers nod their heads repeatedly, because if they followed this line of thought, there were actually no major logical loopholes.

But even if there are no loopholes, the trial is mainly about evidence, and there is still a biggest problem here, that is, where did the girl go.

"It seems like we've reached a dead end. Where can the person chosen to perform go? The opera house was immediately sealed off. If they leave, they will definitely be seen by the guards. It's unlikely that they will disappear into the water like Linnet's magic trick."

Paimon spread his hands and said with a puzzled look on his face.

However, what Paimon didn't expect was that her words would strike Finina's head like a bolt of lightning.

Her eyes widened and she muttered to herself.

"Like Linnet's magic... my whole body merged into the water in the tank... I seemed to know what was going on..."

Chapter 869: The original fetal sea water appeared in front of the public, and people were in disbelief

Finina's mumbling went unnoticed by anyone. Even Ying and Paimon, who were right beside her, couldn't hear clearly because her voice was a little soft.

Then, Paimon wanted to say something to Finnina, but Finnina became silent and just stared at the crime scene on the stage.

On the other hand, because of Linnie's defense lawyer's inference, Navilette ordered the guards to search the deceased Cowell's luggage, and soon the guards returned to the scene.

"...In Cowell's luggage, we found several test tubes filled with liquid. They were labeled. In the notebook in Cowell's backpack, these liquids were called the Primordial Fetal Sea Water~!"

"The contents of the notebook indicate that Cowell is affiliated with an organization that sells illegal drugs and has partners who collaborate on the plan. The notebook contains many notes related to safe use and mentions the keyword 'dissolve' several times."

"One of the test tubes, with the words 'Opiquette Opera House' and yesterday's date written on it, is now empty."

"The notes also mentioned that this dissolving property is only effective for Fontaine people."

As the guard finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

And almost instantly, the audience, whose minds became quick, thought of the word "dissolve" and thought of the prophecy that had been circulating in Fontaine for a long time.

Before today, everyone was at a loss as to Fontaine's prophecy. After all, the prophecy said that the people of Fontaine would eventually dissolve in the sea. However, how would they dissolve was the biggest problem.

And now, the answer has appeared in front of everyone. The so-called original fetal sea water can dissolve everyone. More importantly, this dissolving property is only effective for the Fontaine people.

This coincides with the prophecy that every Fontaine person is born with sin.

Coupled with the rising sea level that everyone in Fontaine knew, the people who originally came just to watch the trial suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

If this primordial fetal sea water were to mix with the rising sea water of Fontaine...

"Is this true?"

Paimon shrank his neck and felt a little cold.

After all, Funina had just described Fontaine's prophecy to her not long ago, and now something that could dissolve the people of Fontaine appeared. This kind of situation always gives people a feeling that a storm is about to come.

Could it be that Ying and I are the kind of people who will bring disaster wherever we go?

While Paimon was at a loss, Ying thought for a while and then wanted to ask Finina some questions.

However, when her eyes fell on Funina, she realized that Funina, who had been elegant and calm before, was now frowning.

Seeing Funina like this, Ying didn't want to disturb her, so the three of them fell into silence again.

At the same time, on the stage, with a cry of silence from Villette, the discussions in the opera house gradually died down. Soon, another guard arrived and whispered in Villette's ear.

After hearing what the guard said, Villette raised an eyebrow, obviously not expecting this situation.

"Just now, the security team contacted me and wanted to provide new evidence for the investigation."

As soon as Villette said this, everyone looked at the security guard.

"We have been investigating the luggage of other people involved in the case, and we found the same original fetal sea water in Linny's luggage as in Cowell's!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Linny.

"This is impossible!"

Linny said in disbelief. It was only just now that he knew about the Primordial Fetal Sea Water. How could there be Primordial Fetal Sea Water in his backpack?

Almost instantly, Linnie's gaze towards the security guard changed.

Because ever since he was regarded as a suspect in this case, his luggage has been sealed by the opera house security team.

From the time the case occurred until now, the only people who had access to his luggage were the security team.

In other words, the companions mentioned in Cowell's notes who were collaborating on the plan were among the security team at the opera house.

And now, the other party will put the original fetal sea water into his luggage without anyone knowing, in order to frame himself as the accomplice in the crime.

"Mr. Linney, do you have anything else to say?"

asked Navilette.

"There's something wrong with the logic here!"

Linnie took a deep breath, his brain working quickly, and he poured out all his thoughts.

"Cowell is a murderer. If I were his companion, why would I agree to this performance? If he hadn't been discovered, I would have been charged with murder."

"And if he is discovered, I am his companion and will be equally guilty."

"I'm a good magician, living a good life in Fontaine. Is it necessary for me to do something that will land me in jail?"

Linnie argued.

After hearing Linnie's explanation, most people nodded in agreement. Indeed, if Linnie was really Cowell's companion, what was his purpose in doing this?

Killing someone in front of the Supreme Judge and the God of Water at the Opicle Opera House is a provocation to the top management of Fontaine. I believe that this case will be sentenced with great emphasis.

Committing the crime knowing the nature of the case and putting himself in a situation where he could not be cleared of suspicion is problematic no matter how you look at it.

Of course, some people hold different views. They think that the Linny brothers and sisters must have received arrangements from the Fatui high-level officials to carry out some mission.

Like sneaking into Melo Petersburg or something like that.

Given the style of the Fatui, what does it matter if they kill someone in front of the water god and the highest judge?

While the audience was discussing, Paimon and Ying at the front also got involved in the discussion.

"I don't think Linnie is Cowell's accomplice. After all, how could someone send himself to jail for no reason?"

"But Linni and the others are members of the Faint. It's not like you haven't seen the Faint's ways, Paimon."

"Hmm... That's right. What new plot do the Fatui have up their sleeve? Is there anything they need in the Fontaine prison?"

Ying and Paimon had experienced the Fatui's ways countless times. For the sake of the Winter Queen, they were even willing to kill a god, let alone just saying something in front of a god.

Chapter 870 The truth is revealed, the person who was dissolved in public

Just when everyone was wondering whether Cowell and Linney were companions, suddenly, a loud female voice rang out in the courtroom.

"Please wait a moment!!"

The sudden sound made everyone look in the direction where the sound came from.

At the very end of the audience, a girl in an elegant dress appeared in front of everyone.

"That's, Navia?"

Funina said.

"Navia?"

When Ying and Paimon heard what Finina said, they shifted their gaze from Navia to Finina.

"Fontaine does not prohibit the establishment of unofficial civil organizations, and the Thorn Rose Society is one of them. Mediation of disputes, resolution of problems, and provision of protection are all things the Thorn Rose Society does."

"The current boss of the Thorn Rose Society is Navia. I haven't met her many times, but from the intelligence she describes, she's an elegant and enthusiastic person."

"Now that she has come out to interrupt Villette's trial, she must have some crucial evidence or information."

Funina said.

After hearing Funina's introduction, Ying and Paimon looked at each other, and both of them became interested in the boss of the Thorn Rose Society.

And the fact was just as Furninna thought, Navia's arrival brought an absolute and heavyweight proof to this case.

Under everyone's gaze, the girl named Lillian, who was the supporting actress in Linny's magic show and was thought to have been killed, appeared in front of everyone.

At this point, the full picture of the case was presented to everyone.

It turns out that the one who wanted to kill people from the beginning was the deceased Cowell. He wanted to use the water of the original fetal sea to dissolve Lillian, and then let the water tank fall, so as to hide the dissolved Lillian.

In this way, the case will completely turn into a serial disappearance of young girls.

However, Cowell did not expect that Lillian was not actually from Fontaine, but from Mond, so she would not be dissolved by the water of the original fetal sea.

At the same time, Lillian was very skilled. When Cowell realized that Lillian had not been dissolved and wanted to subdue her, Lillian subdued her, knocked her unconscious and sent her into the magic box.

In the end, everything went according to Cowell's plan. The water tank fell and the magic box was hit, but the deceased had changed from Lillian to Cowell himself.

After listening to Lillian's narration, the audience was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that what was originally going to be a new case of serial disappearance of young girls would turn out like this because of Lillian Mond's identity.

"...In that case, I declare Linny and Linnet not guilty!"

With Villette's solemn announcement at the trial bench, Linney was completely cleared of the suspicion of murder.

However, as Linny's suspicion was cleared, no one in the audience said anything, because they knew that the matter had not been fully investigated.

Cowell, who wanted to use the water of the primordial fetal sea to kill Lillian, is dead, but he cannot escape the identity of the murderer of the serial disappearance of young girls.

This is a major case that has troubled Fontaine for many years. Now it has finally been caught. Everyone clearly remembers that Cowell has a companion!

Before, they thought Linny was Cowell's companion because of the original fetal sea water in Linny's luggage, but now, Linny has cleared himself of suspicion, so who could be Cowell's companion?

Everyone's eyes turned to the member of the Fontaine Guard who had announced to them on the stage that there was the original fetal sea water in Linny's backpack.

On the judge's bench, Villette looked at the guards below, his eyes flashing with coldness. He had never imagined that those lawless fellows had actually reached such a position...

"Please explain, Officer Vaughn, how did you find the Primordial Sea Water from Linny's gift?"

"The companion mentioned in Cowell's notes wasn't Linnie. It should be you, right?"

Villette, looking down from the bench, had a cold gaze, and with the attention of everyone in the opera house, the police officer named Vaughan broke out in a cold sweat almost instantly.

"me……"

"You should know clearly what to do to reduce your sentence."

Hearing Villette's words, Vaughn's defenses were broken almost instantly.

"I was just following orders. They said they wanted to make Linnie the scapegoat for the serial disappearances of young girls and shift the blame onto the Fatui. They said this was the best opportunity."

No one was surprised by Vaughn's words. This kind of thing was indeed what the Fatui often did. The Fatui had already done so many bad things, so it was not surprising that they were involved in another serial disappearance of young girls.

"Now that the plan has been exposed and the secret of the Primordial Sea Water has been made public, your leader must have regarded you as a thorn in his side."

"So, your wisest choice is to confess everything and seek the protection of the security team."

After Villette finished speaking, Vaughn spoke almost without hesitation.
