Seeing the two people chatting more and more heatedly, Tartaglia and Navia, who were left out, stood aside with their arms folded and rolled their eyes.

"I say, how long do you two want to stay in this lounge? Vaughn might make his move at any moment. Do you really plan to miss it?"

Tartaglia spoke in time and finally interrupted the heated conversation between Lu Xiu and the other person.

Villette looked as if she was still not satisfied, and the look she gave Lu Xiu was no longer as polite and distant as before, but instead full of closeness and friendliness.

"It seems we can only have a proper chat after this trial is over, Mr. Lu Xiu."

"Yes, let's quickly solve this troublesome case."

The two of them walked side by side out of the lounge, causing Tartaglia and Navia behind them to roll their eyes.

"It's like we're interrupting an important conversation!"

The guard standing outside the door was frowning, wondering why his boss suddenly appeared from the lounge. Before he could figure it out, Villette and the other four came out.

"What the hell? What about Lord Villette?"

Oh no, I hope that I will be discovered for being lazy and going to the bathroom just now.

Chapter 309: Fu Nina is in a hurry to die

There are many backstage rooms in the opera house, and because of trials, these rooms are often used by guards as temporary interrogation rooms.

At this moment, in one of the temporary interrogation rooms, Lillian, who pretended to be Halsey to enter the opera house to watch a magic show, was wearing handcuffs and sitting behind a square table with a nervous look on her face, watching Vaughn in front of her put a vase full of water on the square table.

"Guardian Vaughn, where's the guard from before? Why are you the one interrogating me now?"

"Calm down, Ms. Halsey."

With a smile on his face, Vaughn stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards Lillian.

Lillian didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy when she saw the smile on Vaughn's face. However, due to her current status as a prisoner, she could only sit in her seat and watch Vaughn approach.

Vaughn came to Lillian's side and suddenly grabbed her handcuffed hands, then handcuffed them to the table leg with another pair of handcuffs.

Vaughn's sudden attack caused Lillian's wrist to ache, but she still didn't dare to fight back and could only look at Vaughn with aggrieved eyes.

"Mr. Guard, didn't I tell you I'm willing to confess? Please don't mess around, okay?"

Vaughn put away his kind smile and replaced it with a cold expression.

"Humph, that Cowell guy is such a loser, he can't even do a simple thing like pouring water on your head! I have to clean up the mess."

"Mr. Guard, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

Lillian started to panic, but it was too late. Her hands were handcuffed to the table legs, and the table in the temporary interrogation room was welded to the ground. How could an ordinary person like her have so much strength?

"Oh, don't struggle, don't worry, you will be free soon."

Vaughn took out the test tube containing the original fetal sea water from his arms, pulled out the stopper at Lillian's horrified expression, and then splashed it on Lillian's face.

The sticky translucent liquid splashed all over Lillian's face. Lillian quickly closed her eyes and mouth, fearing that the unknown liquid would flow into her mouth.

The water of the primordial fetal sea flowed down Lillian's cheek and fell to the ground. Vaughn sneered at her and said, "You don't have to struggle. The water of the primordial fetal sea doesn't need to enter your body. As long as it touches you, you will be dissolved immediately. Don't worry, this process is very fast."

Lillian was filled with despair at this moment, so she simply gave up resisting, opened her eyes and started cursing at Vaughn.

"Are you guys crazy?! I just stole a ticket and pretended to be someone else to get in to see the show. Why are you all throwing water in my face? Are you Fontaine people crazy?"

Lillian's sudden outburst of curses made Vaughn helpless.

"No...wait? What do you mean by 'we Fontaine people'? You're not from Fontaine?!"

Lillian sneered and spat at Vaughn: "Oh, I'm from Mond!"

Vaughn's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression changed from surprise and horror at first to complete collapse.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot from anger. He rushed forward and grabbed Lillian's collar without hesitation.

"Why are you from Mond? How could you be from Mond? I took such a big risk to silence you, and you turned out to be from Mond?!"

"What happened to the Mond people?! Did the Mond people eat your rice?"

Lillian had completely given up resistance at this point, and started cursing at Vaughn, venting the fear she had just felt.

Lillian's curse words made Vaughn tremble all over and his back teeth chattered.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then we can only use other methods to silence him!"

Vaughn pulled out a small knife from his waist and slashed it across Lillian's throat.

"That's it."

Suddenly, a hand stretched out to block the knife. The sharp knife scratched the hand, but it didn't leave even a trace.

Vaughn looked up in horror and saw Lu Xiu clenching his fist and punching him on the forehead.

With a thud, in almost the blink of an eye, Vaughn was embedded in the wall and completely unconscious.

Several guards immediately rushed in and began to give Vaughn first aid.

Lu Xiu said to them calmly, "Don't worry, I only used the strength of scratching my head, he won't die."

Villette also walked in from outside at this time, took a look at Vaughn lying on the ground, raised his hand and asked the guards to take him away and keep him under strict supervision.

"Mr. Lu Xiu, thank you for your help. I will make the truth public during the trial tomorrow."

"Well, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Villette."

Lu Xiu turned around and slapped Lillian on the head a few times, scaring her so much that she shrank her neck.

"Remember to tell me everything you know tomorrow, otherwise..."

Lillian nodded immediately: "I understand, I understand. I will tell you everything I know!"

Lu Xiu nodded in satisfaction and left the interrogation room.

Lu Xiu returned to the place where the guards had temporarily arranged for them to live. Because this was an opera house, there were no spare beds for the audience to sleep on. Most people were given a thick blanket and found a place to spread it out and rest there.

At this time, Tartaglia also moved a bunch of chairs together, put them together, and then lay down on them.

Seeing Lu Xiu coming back, Tartaglia raised his hand and said, "Lu Xiu, there are a few tables over there. You can move them over and use them."

Lu Xiu waved his hand to decline Tartaglia's proposal.

"No need, I have a bed."

As he said that, Lu Xiu casually picked a bed and lay down on it happily.

Now it was Dadalia's turn to sit still. She sat up in shock, looked at Lu Xiu who had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but complain.

"No... How come someone carries a bed with them when they go out?!"

------------------

The next morning, almost everyone got up early. After all, without a bed, no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to sleep comfortably. It would be better to finish the trial early and then go back to have a good rest.

Lu Xiu also climbed up from the bed comfortably, folded the bed, and was about to go to the lobby when he was startled by Tartaglia with dark circles under her eyes.

"What happened to you? Were you beaten up last night?"

Tartaglia shook his head speechlessly. He had just been wondering last night how Lu Xiu managed to carry a bed with him?

As a result, I spent the whole night thinking about this.

"I'm fine. Go to the trial and get out of here as soon as possible."

"it is good."

As soon as Lu Xiu and Tartaglia went out, they met the Lini siblings who were escorted by guards. After the four of them got together, they followed the guards to the VIP audience seats on the high ground, which temporarily served as their seats as defendants.

Directly opposite this seat, Funina had already sat there and was ready to pose.

Seeing that all the audience were in place, Finina couldn't wait to stand up and start making announcements.

"Hehe, everyone, after thinking all night with my clever brain last night, I finally figured out the truth of this matter. Let me tell you how the criminal Mr. Linney cleverly killed Cowell and made the girl disappear!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

But Lu Xiu and Navelette, who had just taken their positions, looked at her with strange expressions.

Chapter 310: The End of the Trial and the Dissolution of the Fontaine People

"Then please explain your reasoning first, Ms. Funina."

Violet did not rush to interrupt Finina's speech. Instead, she pretended to listen attentively and let Finina explain her reasoning first.

Lucius couldn't help but glance at Villette, who was sitting in the judge's seat with a serious expression on his face. He never thought that such an honest man could have such a bad heart.

Finina did not find anything unusual. Instead, she was very pleased with Villette's performance. She crossed her arms and raised her chin, looking very proud.

"Hmph, then let me, the God of Justice, explain the entire course of this case to everyone!"

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Lu Xiu, the defense lawyer, couldn't bear to watch any further.

The more Fushininna claims to be the god of justice at this time, the more embarrassed she will be when the truth is revealed.

Thinking of that embarrassing scene, Lu Xiu couldn't help but dig his toes into the ground.

"Hehe, everyone, what actually happened is this: Mr. Linney first deliberately tampered with the number selection machine. Then, during the performance, he used the underground passage to violently assault Miss Hesher. However, he was accidentally discovered by his assistant. So, Linney had to kill her and knocked her unconscious with a kettle in the underground passage and put her into the magic box."

"Finally, I used my own skills to burn the rope and smash the assistant hidden in the magic box to death. In this way, the murder was completed."

Linny, however, retorted with a look of injustice: "No, I didn't do that!"

Finina smiled and shook her finger. "Mr. Linney, everyone present heard the muffled sound when you used the vase to knock out your assistant in the underground passage."

"What's that muffled sound?"

Linny was stunned. He hid in the underground passage to investigate the core of the Cardinal Judge. He had no idea what happened afterwards!

"Aren't you still giving up?"

Furniture crossed her arms and added with a smile, "Mr. Linny, I had someone investigate your identity yesterday and found some surprising news. You and Linnet are both members of the Hearth House and the Fatui!"

"what?!"

As soon as Funina said this, the audience was in an uproar. Those who had originally thought that Linnie might have been framed immediately showed expressions of disgust on their faces.

"No wonder he would do such a thing!"

"That's it!"

When Lin Ni saw that his hidden identity was exposed, his face suddenly turned pale and he turned his head to ask Lu Xiu and Tartaglia for help.

Lu Xiu ignored Linny's gaze, but crossed his arms and looked at Tartaglia beside him.

"You told me earlier that you Fatui had a pretty good reputation in Fontaine, but now this is it?"

Tartaglia also had a dark face and turned her head away, not daring to look Lu Xiu in the face. She didn't know whether it was the Fatui or the Hearth House that could make these audiences so disgusted.

"Forget it, let's resolve this trial first."

Lucius looked up at Navelette in the judge's seat and said loudly, "Objection! Mr. Presiding Judge, the truth of the matter is not what Ms. Funina said. We have a key witness who can prove Linny's innocence."

When Villette saw Lucius stand up to protest, she knew it was time to end the trial, so she waved her hand and had the guards bring Lillian up.

Lillian's appearance surprised everyone. The guards had previously shown them a photo of the missing girl 'Halsey', so they naturally recognized at a glance that the person on the stage was the missing 'Halsey'.

Finina was also surprised and walked to the side of the guardrail, craning her neck to look down: "Why is Halsey here?!"

Lu Xiu smiled and said to Lillian below, "Miss Witness, please tell everyone what really happened."

Lillian nodded. Stared at by the pairs of surprised eyes around her, she looked a little frightened and nervous.

"Actually, my name is Lillian, and I'm from Mondstadt. I just stole a lady's ticket to get in and see the magic show. The one who knocked Cowell out was not Linnie, but me..."

Next, Lillian recounted the whole story, leaving everyone stunned.

Funina, who was originally in high spirits, now softened like a punctured balloon. She slumped down on the chair, holding her head and muttering to herself.

"I actually slandered a good person... Ugh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have filed a complaint... Damn Navelette, if you already knew the truth, you shouldn't have asked me to reason with you! Ugh."

After Lillian on the stage finished explaining the whole story, Villette knocked with the small wooden hammer in his hand.

"In that case, the truth is out, but Ren has some matters that need questioning. Bring up Cowell's accomplice, Vaughn."

Vaughn, dressed in a police uniform, was carried up by two guards. At this moment, Vaughn looked depressed and his eyes were full of despair.

The audience in the audience had just learned from Lillian that Cowell tried to use the water of the original fetal sea to conduct an experiment to dissolve the girl, and Vaughn was one of his accomplices. Seeing that Cowell's plan failed, he was ready to kill to silence her, but was caught red-handed.
