Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Just like a warrior who gets equipment that increases intelligence, after getting the equipment and increasing intelligence, he will find that he doesn't need the equipment at all.

Ahem, after resolving Navia's problem, the traveler continued the investigation, and this time the clue came from Melusin at the door.

The junior security captain said he had been guarding the gate the whole time and no one had ever left.

The "locked room mystery" scenario has excited many detective story enthusiasts.

After gathering all the clues in the vicinity, the traveler returns to the stage to see how Linni's communication with the guards is going and whether he can reveal the secret of the magic trick to them. Navia also goes along with him.

Navia is a complete bystander who suddenly appears in the case. This might not seem like the proper procedure in other countries, but it doesn't matter, this is Fontainebleau.

Next up is the magic trick reveal segment. In real life, Lin Ni sighed, realizing he hadn't even performed it himself yet.

Although this show has been seen all over the world, I'm itching to perform!

In the story, Linni comes to the box and says that the real secret is inside it.

In fact, there was another box inside the box, and underneath that box was a tunnel, a specialty of old Beijing.

There's even a flatbed truck underneath the tunnel that carries the lucky audience members' boxes around.

This expands the pool of potential criminals; anyone who knows this tunnel can commit a crime.

With this authentic magic trick, the principle becomes much simpler. All you need to do is have Lynette appear on stage as Linnie in the last three seconds, and everything else will fall into place naturally.

It takes a lot of effort to prepare this magic trick, but the secret can be revealed in just a few simple sentences. That's why Linni doesn't like revealing the secrets of magic tricks.

After Linnie revealed the magic trick, everyone's confusion about the magic disappeared. The question now is, why was Cowell the one who appeared on stage last, and where did the lucky audience members go?

After the revelation was completed, Linni was taken away by the guards, and the remaining investigation could only be carried out by the Traveler and Navia together.

The first thing they found inside the tunnel was a hook lying on the ground. Linni didn't mention it, so they didn't know what it was for.

Secondly, there were water stains on the ground, which seemed to be left after a vase was broken. This was even stranger, as the flatbed cart's track was far from the vase and theoretically shouldn't have touched it.

Could it be... that girl cheated on me?!

Character Voice Line - Linnie: Revealing the Secrets of Magic

"Sigh, the props, the venue, the ingenuity—it really took me a long time to come up with this magic trick, but unfortunately I haven't performed it yet."

"This has really ignited my competitive spirit. Watch me invent a magic trick that even a prophet can't see through!"

Chapter 875 The First Trial Verdict Regarding Linni

It's hard to say whether the girl cheated on her boyfriend, because there were indeed her clothes next to the water stains on the vase, right next to the tracks, so it seems she really did cheat.

Anyway, even if there was no cheating, she came out of the closet, otherwise there wouldn't be any girl's clothes on the outside of the box... Now it seems like they can be called her remains?

The people of Fontainebleau had a bad feeling. They now knew that people could turn into water. Could this girl have already turned into water? That's why her clothes were next to the water stains.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. I originally thought this case had nothing to do with the 'serial disappearances of girls', but now it seems that this really is the work of Vashj.

What can we say about their inferences? Perhaps their cleverness backfired; the more information they knew, the more they were misled by incorrect information.

People from other countries who are unaware of this information would instinctively assume that the girl had changed her clothes and blended into the crowd.

As for the water, it was nothing more than a broken vase.

There happened to be a ventilation duct in the tunnel, just big enough for one person to enter. Maybe they were hiding here?

However, subsequent clues proved that no one had ever left through this tunnel; it was a completely sealed room.

Based on current inferences, the thinking of the Fontainebleau people and the foreigners is exactly opposite, mainly because they have different understandings of this reasoning.

Because the people of Fontainebleau knew the information that 'people can turn into water,' they treated the cases related to the 'serial disappearances of girls' as unorthodox deductions from the very beginning.

Foreigners, unaware of this information, treated it as a matter of conventional reasoning and speculation.

Unfortunately, lacking crucial clues, no one could guess the truth. Who would have thought that the lucky viewer 'Halsey' was truly fortunate?

Even the detective Heizo was completely baffled, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

He has narrowed down the suspects to four: Linnie, Lynette, the deceased, and the missing girl. There is currently insufficient evidence to support the existence of a 'fifth person'.

The problem is... Heizo really can't figure out the motive and method of the crime, and why the girl disappeared, and where she is.

Other people who like to think things through share the same doubts as him.

The Grand Scribe Paimon recorded all this information. Whether it would be useful or not was up to the traveler's deduction; Paimon, for one, couldn't understand anything.

With the clues gathered, it's time for analysis. Analysis is a mentally taxing task, requiring a good sugar boost, so...

[Silver: "Eggs, sugar, almonds, I brought them all."]

To satisfy the young lady's hobby, Miles and Silver both carried cooking stoves, eggs, sugar, and almonds with them, and thus, sweet macarons were made.

During the production process, Miles and Silver were of little use; one clapped, and the other encouraged Navia with a smile.

How to describe this scene? Navia's attire is very ladylike, but her actions of beating egg whites are very lifelike, instantly making people fantasize about married life.

However, the other chefs, with their strong will, were not swayed. They realized that these three were there to be funny, mainly to liven up the atmosphere.

In the previous story of the Rock Abyss, a Geo Greatsword character was also there to enhance the atmosphere when the mood was heavy, preventing the oppressive feeling from overwhelming people.

Now another Geo-type Claymore character is livening things up. I have to say you two are really alike. And you still say you're not a member of the Ara-Taki faction.

To the audience's surprise, Navia's actions were not only to create atmosphere, but she also brought out a key clue, the most crucial clue.

Just as Navia and the Traveler were having a 'tea party' and analyzing the case, two macarons went missing.

The people involved didn't pay any attention, simply assuming they had been distracted while chatting and someone had eaten two extra.

However, people like Pingzang and Xinhai, who are good at observation and thinking, immediately realized that something was wrong.

If the macarons weren't eaten by anyone present, could someone else have stolen them? Who could it be? A fifth person? Or the missing girl?

Wait...stolen...a thief? The girl's appearance...

With a 'crack,' Heizo understood everything and muttered to himself, 'So that's how it is.'

Xin Hai, who was sitting nearby, heard his mutterings and smiled at him, while Xiao Gong, the only one sitting nearby, tilted her head and looked puzzled.

“You’ve all figured it out? Tell me about it,” Xiaogong said.

Pingzang smiled and said, "Don't rush, let the story reveal the secret, otherwise it won't have the 'crackling' feeling."

Xiaogong nodded in agreement. That made sense. Telling her the truth now would be like spoiling the plot. I'm already seeing spoilers for the future, and being spoiled for the future is too abstract. Let's just enjoy the story.

Having figured out the truth, Heizo immediately relaxed and continued reading the story with a confident smile.

The story moves to the next day, and the trial is about to begin.

The audience was a bit confused. The trial had already begun? But the traveler hadn't discovered the truth yet. Were they going to solve the case in court? Was this even possible?

[In the dock, Linni greeted the travelers and asked, "Ah, I'm so glad to see you. How's the investigation going?"]

How did it go? Hmm... Let's try to get your death sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and then we'll try to get you parole.

This is not going to go smoothly at all! The traveler has not solved the case at all. She and the floating object next to her with the big head, which is just to make it easier for the mouth to be big enough to eat, have not figured out anything at all.

[Furina spoke up: "Look at how dejected you all are! Your investigation yielded nothing, didn't it?"]

They couldn't hold back either; why is there a pre-match trash talk segment? Is this some kind of judgment by Fontaine? (pointing and gesturing).

But...she's so cute! She's clearly being 'taunting,' but why does it sound so playful? Oh no, have I fallen for the Water Goddess?

[Furina continued, "But don't stop there. You're my most promising opponent, Traveler. Don't give up so easily, or I'll be very disappointed."]

[Navilette interrupted the banter, saying, "Now that both sides are present, the 'trial' regarding this unexpected incident during the magic show officially begins."]

Court review, start!

The first step after the start is for Linni to explain his magic trick, which has been mentioned before: a phonograph records Linni's voice, and then the boxes are exchanged through a tunnel.

In short, Linnie's point is that he had already entered the box on the audience side through the tunnel at the very beginning of the magic trick, and therefore had no time to commit the crime.

To this, Funina pointed with her little finger and said: "A pound of pressure!" (Objection)

The camera pans to Furina, but unfortunately she doesn't smugly adjust her bangs or ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up).

Chapter 876 Furina's Inner Thoughts

In a close-up shot, Funina shared her perspective.

[Furina said, "Because you're going to kidnap Halsey and kill Cowell, you can't stay in the box forever, or even be out of the tunnels for a long time."]

Fu Ningna also has evidence for this, namely that 'muffled thud'. What's even more outrageous is that Linni didn't hear the sound that everyone in the audience could hear!

There are only two possibilities then: either Linni wasn't in the box at the time, or she was doing something else and the sound was masked.

Heizo's eyes lit up; there was more to discover! A case within a case! Linni was undoubtedly doing something else at the time!

The decree instructed the Cardinal's scales to begin tilting towards 'guilty,' which is the 'artificial intelligence' of the adjudicating machine, making judgments in real time.

What people don't know yet is that the 'artificial intelligence' of the Cardinals' decrees is mainly based on artificial intelligence.

Although Fu Ningna, the 'prosecutor,' was forced by others to file charges, she at least had some understanding and investigation regarding physical evidence.

[Furina, hands on her hips, said, "Besides dismantling your alibi, I have other weapons prepared. There's no such thing as unfounded confidence; I've been fully prepared."]

In the video, Funina appears remarkably confident, her smug expression utterly charming and incredibly cute. It's clear she's thoroughly enjoying this trial.

However, her confidence was actually unfounded. These preparations only began after she accused Linni, but she had already been 'confidently' showing off before that.

[Furina said in a high-spirited tone, "You and Lynette are actually from the 'House of Hearths,' aren't you?"]

Confident in herself, Funina used her 'box weapon' on Linni, directly revealing Linni's identity.

It has to be said that Funina is truly remarkable; she was even able to uncover information about a spy organization like "House of Hearths."

She performed very well, and even the real-life Funinga became more and more spirited, with a smile appearing on her face. It wasn't easy! After watching for so long, I can finally stand up!

[Audience: "No wonder he would do something like that."]

[Another viewer: "So the 'serial disappearances of girls' was all a hoax by the Fools. That's the least surprising answer."]

See, that's what word-of-mouth is all about.

As soon as the Fools appear, all bad things become reasonable. This is the fame the Fools have accumulated, and the Doctor has contributed a large part of it.

Linni wanted to retort, "What's the point of checking my background? What does that have to do with this incident? If I can't win the argument, I'll just look at my profile, okay?"

[Furina said, "Indeed, then you can simply recount everything that happened in this minute right here in front of us."]

"For you right now, getting acquitted is the top priority. You shouldn't have anything you can't talk about... unless the 'script' has become contradictory."

Funina's probing questions were very effective; at least Funina herself felt that her statements were very sharp and reasonable.

With her hands on her hips, Funina puffed out her not-so-prominent chest, exuding confidence.

In real life, Funina also straightened her back, and confidence was returning to her.

Just then, she was betrayed by Lin Qiu on camera; Lin Qiu had actually written down her inner thoughts!

A grey Funina symbolizes her inner state; her joyful and jubilant movements resemble those of a little girl, completely contradicting her outward confidence and noble arrogance.

[Furina's inner thoughts: (The stranger remained silent, looking utterly shocked. Hahaha, now they're going to start fighting amongst themselves, right? This was such an easy win!)]

She thought it was reasonable to imagine that the Traveler and Linni would have a falling out, since Linni, as a member of the Fools, couldn't possibly be unaware of the Traveler's information.

But his nonchalant approach to the traveler, without saying a word, clearly had ulterior motives, and the initial trust began to crumble.

[“(Phew... I was so nervous about this trial that I couldn't sleep all night, oh dear.)”]

Some people couldn't sleep all night thinking about this. Luckily, there was only one night between court hearings; otherwise, they were afraid that Funina wouldn't have been able to endure it.

In real life, Funina shrank back her already small, unyielding chest, her ahoge (cowlick) drooped, and she wanted to cover her face; Don't look at me! Waaah!

I've worked so hard to act for so long, Lin Qiu, how could you expose my true feelings!

Waaah, my glorious divine image! My proud and majestic leader image!

Everyone's going to be so disappointed in me now, boohoo.

Fu Ningna seems to have some misunderstanding about her public image.

She felt that her girlish reactions would disappoint the people of Fontaine and make them think she was unreliable.
