Unfortunately, Linnie mentioned earlier that Cowell had an accomplice, and now it seems that besides Linnie, there's no other possibility that he's an accomplice.
Suspicion alone is useless; what travelers need is evidence.
The only way to break this deadlock seems to be for the person involved to come forward and speak out, but the problem is... can someone who has turned into water turn back into a human? There's no way to prove it with your own testimony...
The traveler fell silent, her 100% win rate seemingly unsustainable.
Just then, Navia arrived, shouting: "Wait a minute!"
[Navia: "Everyone, stop for a moment and listen to me!"]
Navia has brought a new clue: the 'missing girl' herself!
Miles and Silver placed the box on the stage, and with a clang from Lynette, 'Helsey' made her grand entrance, declaring that she was the one who killed Cowell.
[Furina's three questions: "What? Huh? Why?"]
Now Frynn has really turned into a silly Frynn! How come new clues always appear just when I'm about to win?!
Vasher in the audience must have been staring wide-eyed. What was going on? The person who turned into water turned back? How did they do that?!
Unfortunately, that's not the case. The person who appears is 'Halsey', but she is not Halsey. She is actually the thief who stole Halsey's ticket.
Helsey: I told you that wasn't me!
Halsey was also at a loss, unsure whether to consider herself lucky or unlucky.
I could say I was lucky, but the tickets I finally managed to snag were stolen. I was hoping to gather inspiration for a magic show, but I ended up not getting to see it.
To be honest, although I didn't get to see the magic show, at least I survived!
The person who impersonated Helsey to watch the magic show was actually a Mondstadt native named Lillian, who had stolen Helsey's ticket and was thus impersonating her.
All I can say is: In Mondstadt, you can choose not to live, but you cannot be without life.
Lillian: I'm not from Fontainebleau, I can't dissolve!
Wacher, who was in the audience, probably sat down again after hearing this, having been happy for nothing.
The audience then realized that she was the thief who had appeared earlier; who could remember her?
The foreshadowing was planted so subtly, like a magic trick, that it showed you, yet it seemed like you didn't see it at all.
Well, quite a few people actually remembered them, such as Pingzang, Xinhai, Erhaisen, Naxida, and Guizhong. There were quite a few people who could name them all like the back of their hand.
These people have one trait: once they realize something, they don't tell those around them who haven't, but instead observe the reactions of those around them after they learn the truth.
Take Kavi, for example. He's very smart, but he doesn't really bother to remember everyone's face. So he looked surprised, and Elhesen saw it all.
Al-Hysen just watched without saying a word, but it was precisely this silent staring that made Kavi unbearable. Out of sight, out of mind, I continued watching the movie!
Now that the victim has come forward to speak, what is the truth of the story?
Chapter 881 The Final 'Grand Magic'
Lillian said she originally planned to cooperate with the performance first and then take the opportunity to escape, but she was inexplicably doused with water, and then someone ran into the tunnel to catch her.
Left with no other option, she could only act in self-defense, knocking the other person unconscious with a punch and putting them into the box.
The audience suddenly realized that the muffled thud was the sound of Lillian's punch, a sound that echoed throughout the entire arena. They couldn't imagine how powerful it was; no wonder she could knock out an adult with one punch.
In fact, that wasn't the case. The muffled sound was Lillian kicking open the wooden crate door, not a 'deliberate punch'.
Cowell went down into the tunnel to investigate after hearing this sound.
As for her clothes, it was simply because her original clothes were wet, which would make her more conspicuous and harder to escape, so she changed her clothes.
Both the audience in real life and in the story were speechless, wanting to say: That's it?
Yes, the truth is often so simple, but coincidences can always make cases complicated and confusing.
Sometimes, cases that even famous detectives can't solve turn out to be so simple that they're both laughable and frustrating when the truth is revealed.
This case would have been quite difficult to solve if the victim hadn't come forward with her testimony. After all, no one knew that a person could turn into water, and even more unexpectedly, this seemingly useful clue turned out to be completely useless.
In real life, Fu Ning covered her face, feeling utterly humiliated! Don't look at me!
Just a moment ago, I was confidently reasoning out the process, but now, it's all been overturned.
It's a wonder that she came up with this after staying up all night; she was probably still fantasizing in bed about how her reasoning would annihilate everyone and make the travelers bow down in admiration.
Waaaaah, I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Heizo, on the other hand, said he could finally get a good night's sleep, thankfully he wasn't misled by the 'fetal water' clue.
The answer has been revealed: the Ultimate Water God, Frynn, has become the Ultimate Comedy God, while Lillian is the real Ultimate Thief.
Not only did he evade the police search, but he also managed to steal macarons without anyone noticing. He's practically a master thief.
Now that the truth is out, Villette can continue his trial proceedings.
Navelette asked, "Does Ms. Funina have any different opinion on Mr. Linnie's claims?"
[Furina stammered, "I...I...uh..."]
Fulina was tempted to run away. Thinking about her two previous confident deductions, she felt so ashamed!
It's not shameful to deduce wrongly; the real problem is her arrogant little expression while deduce, as if everything was expected and she was so smart. Now she's been slapped in the face.
Unable to bear it any longer, Funina secretly shuffled backward, her little leather shoes making a scraping sound on the ground.
[Navilette reminded her: "Please answer my question, Ms. Furnessa. By the way, the trial is not yet over, and the accuser may not leave prematurely."]
No wonder they've been colleagues for five hundred years; Navelette really understands Funina.
Furnessa, embarrassed that her little trick had been seen through, stopped her 'dreamy steps'.
[Furina sighed: "Sigh, no objections. I lost. Honestly, you could have just left me alone at a time like this, at least give me some face."]
It's clear that Funina usually either doesn't play at all, or when she does, she plays in a game she's sure to win; she's not used to losing.
Now, the once majestic and dignified Funina has wilted and can no longer get hard; even her ahoge (cowlick) has drooped down.
Although she lost, it didn't diminish her 'prestige' in the hearts of the Fontaines at all; on the contrary, they liked her even more.
The people of Fontainebleau say: The Water God is getting cuter and cuter! We love this story!
Seeing their own gods lose, they weren't angry or disappointed at all; they just found it entertaining and pleasing to watch. The traveler continued to let their gods suffer some setbacks!
In reality, Ying was worried that if she defeated their god as soon as she arrived in Fontainebleau, she would be targeted. If she knew what the people of Fontainebleau were thinking, she would know how unnecessary her worries were.
Instead, we should pay more attention to Little Fufu's feelings. Right now, she's covering her face, too ashamed to see her embarrassing state spread throughout the world.
Unfortunately, she can't read minds. If she had a system like Lin Qiu's that provides hints, she would find that most people think she's cute and don't feel ashamed at all.
In the story, Navigette's final debriefing is presented in a manner resembling a Sherlock Holmesian 'temple of logic,' a 'dramatic performance' under the spotlight.
After that comes the final trial phase, the Ironclad gacha pull.
A yellow and red card was inserted into the cardinal decree, and after a series of special effects, it emitted a blue light. Unfortunately, it was a three-star light cone.
Looking at the 'light cone', Navelette delivered her final verdict:
"Therefore, I hereby formally declare Linnie and Lynette innocent!"
The crime of murder has been cleared, and perhaps the next issue to discuss is the theft of secrets, but that's no longer the traveler's concern.
The traveler, who had been deceived by Linni, now felt that he would never love again and had no intention of getting involved in Fontaine's affairs any further.
Although she didn't intend to get involved anymore, the incident wasn't over yet, and everyone's eyes were on the police officer.
Navelette continued, "Now, please explain, Officer Vaughn. How did you find the 'Primal Sea of Origin Water' in Linney's luggage?"
[Furina quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, you made me make the wrong judgment. You wouldn't dare commit perjury here, would you?"]
'It caused me to make the wrong judgment,' Fulina seemed to forget that her judgment was wrong even without this clue.
All I can say is that Villette's words were a way out for her, and she took the opportunity to quickly shift the blame.
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Fufu felt like she was back to normal.
[Fou shouted loudly: "Speak up, or I'll make you spend your whole life with 'licenses'!"]
"Coupon" is a specialty of Mello Petersburg, so it means it will keep you locked up for life.
The Duke chuckled, thinking, "Why does everyone use my place to threaten others?"
Vaughn couldn't take the threats any longer and confessed that he was Cowell's accomplice. He said that his superiors told him to pin the blame for the 'serial disappearances of girls' on the Fools,' which is why he did it.
"Original Fetal Sea Water" can indeed dissolve people, and it tastes very good even when diluted very lightly. Drinking it will make people feel very excited and unforgettable.
Simply put: I'm super, ice-cold!
Vaughn rattled off a bunch of clues like a potato, but before he could mention the boss's name, he suddenly let out a scream, and his body began to dissolve into water right before everyone's eyes.
He also performed a magic trick, turning Vaughn into water.
Chapter 882 Linni's Past
It's a pity Vaughn isn't from Shandong. If he had used an inverted sentence, wouldn't he have revealed the killer's name first? Even just mentioning the killer would have been a clue.
Everyone was startled. Even though they knew that people could be dissolved into water, the feeling of hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand was obviously different. The Fontaines, who loved to watch the spectacle, fell silent.
Unlike the frightened crowd, Funina, who had been acting 'foolish' all along, now had an unusually serious expression.
This appearance actually calmed the frightened Fontaine people down quite a bit; the Water God was indeed reliable after all.
Unlike ordinary people whose thinking was overwhelmed by surprise, the intelligent individuals immediately began to analyze the situation.
This person was silenced just as he was about to reveal the 'boss's' identity. The timing was so perfect... there must have been other 'boss's' men at the scene!
Navelette realized this as well and said, "Everyone present, please submit to questioning immediately."
The travelers and Linni were not among those allowed to leave, as they had already been questioned.
After leaving the crowd, Linni opened up to the traveler, saying that he was only contacting the traveler as "Linni" and had no ulterior motives.
To show his sincerity, Linnie directly confessed his past, revealing that he and Linette became orphans living on the streets after their parents died.
He learned magic to earn a living, but he didn't want his sister to end up on the streets. Just then, a nobleman wanted to adopt them.
The nobleman was only interested in Linni's magical talent and wanted to use his magic to attract attention in social circles.
If that were all, Linnie could accept it, but this nobleman actually gave his sister Linette to another nobleman, euphemistically calling it "foster care".
The nobleman said, "A very important person took a liking to her at the banquet, so I gave her away as a gift. Anyway, you can still perform magic tricks with a different assistant, right?"
The words were spoken so casually, as if an object had been given away rather than a little girl.
For a moment, who could tell whether this was the 'City of Justice' or the 'City of Sin'?
The Fontaine man's face darkened. Linnie and Lynette weren't very old then, but Lynette back then... Damn, how could such a thing happen!
Let alone the Fontainebleau residents who could 'put themselves in their shoes,' people from all over the world felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
These beastly nobles are far inferior to Diluc, the Night Elf Hero. If the Night Elf Hero came, he would kill them all.
Even someone like Sister Xiaogong, who loves children, was furious. With her temper, she almost wanted to curse, but unfortunately, she was too polite to say it.
As Linni's older brother, D'Artagnan understood Linni's feelings perfectly.
It turns out that Linni had this kind of story. D'Artagnan really didn't know, since he hadn't paid much attention to it or asked about it.
Looking back now, could Lynette's quiet and reserved nature also be due to her childhood experiences?
I can't even imagine how desperate Linnie and Lynette must have been back then. They were just ordinary kids. How could they possibly rebel against these powerful adults?
But Linni was determined to save his sister no matter what, even if he couldn't do anything else, so he rushed towards the nobleman's mansion.
Fortunately, Lynette was unharmed, because when Lynette arrived at the noble mansion, she found it covered in blood.
The Night Hero didn't come, but another fire-type 'villain hero,' the 'Servant,' had already taken care of everyone here.
The original version was probably just Linni telling a story, but Lin Qiu added a scene: Arecino standing quietly in the courtyard under the blood-red moonlight.
In that instant of looking back, the 'X' in his eyes seemed to play out vividly in everyone's minds, sending chills down their spines.
These fools are extraordinary after they've become VIPs; just look at their appearance.
This makes one wonder if the agreement between the Fools and the Prophet was simply to make them look better.
