Chapter 173: Court Opens Again
Chapter 173: Court Opens Again
After enjoying the facial cleanser service in Hua Sanli's arms, Ye Yu's dizzy head finally felt a little better.
I also started to sort out my thoughts about the magic show accident.
First of all, the missing Halsey is not the real Halsey, she is the thief who stole Halsey's ticket.
Secondly, the deceased Cowell is the real suspect in this case.
Magical accident, iron hook, balloon fragments, the water of the primordial fetal sea, the Fontaine people will be dissolved into water...
It seems that the water tank was dropped not to kill people, but to use the water in the tank to hide the water stains left after the person dissolved into water!
Everything was carefully planned, and the purpose was to make Linnie take the blame for the girl's disappearance!
There was a gleam in Ye Yu's eyes.
By going back in time in the tunnel, they finally figured out the cause and effect of the case and Cowell's modus operandi.
Now we just have to wait for the court to reopen and tell the story of what happened. Everything found in the tunnel will be the most direct and powerful evidence!
But there is still a question, that is, where did the thief who stole Halsey's ticket go?
Everyone had just checked the box where the clothes were kept, and there were indeed traces of Tibetans inside, but the thief was not there.
"Hmm... where can she hide?" Paimon thought, resting his chin on his hand.
"No matter where she hid, she couldn't escape the opera house. After the incident, Villette ordered the opera house sealed off. It took a lot of effort to even get the real Halsey in."
"If she really escaped from the opera house, the guards at the entrance and exit, Melusin, would definitely notice it."
"What we have to do is to find her. She will be the most direct evidence to prove Linnie's innocence!" Ye Yu replied.
"But the opera house is so big, how easy is it to find someone? And... the court is about to reopen."
Just now, the security team at the tunnel entrance informed Paimeng that the court session would begin in ten minutes.
"This is easy. It will be a powerful tool for us to catch the thief and the missing girl." Ye Yu handed the drop of primordial fetal sea water to Paimeng.
"Oh wow! You...don't play with such dangerous things!" Paimon was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Paimeng. The fetal sea water is only effective for people from Fontaine. For people outside of Fontaine, it is no different from ordinary sea water."
"You can drink it without any problem."
As he spoke, Ye Yu stretched out his finger and touched the water droplets in the fetal sea to prove the truthfulness of his words.
"I... I don't want to drink..." Paimon turned his head away.
Does anyone know if drinking this will give me diarrhea?
"Hahaha... I'm not teasing you anymore. Little guy, use your elemental vision to take a look, there will be a surprise~"
After teasing Paimon, Yeyu turned to look at Ying.
Ying did as she was told and exclaimed in surprise, "Such a rich water element!"
The water element emitted by this drop of primordial fetal sea water almost filled up the entire tunnel.
"If I'm not mistaken, the thief and missing girl must have been doused in fetal seawater in the box, so finding her shouldn't be too difficult."
As soon as Ye Yu finished speaking, the guards above the tunnel began to urge.
"Linnie's [Agent], there are five minutes left before the court resumes. If you fail to arrive at the accused's seat within the allotted time, it will be deemed that you have voluntarily waived your right to defense."
"Time is running out, little one. I'll leave it to you and Paimon to catch that thief and missing girl. Hanasari, Linnet, and I will take the accused seat for a while."
"Come on~"
After saying that, Ye Yu took Hua Sanli and Linnit and rushed to the accused seat.
Based on how well Paimon knew Ye Yu, this despicable woman must have found it too troublesome to go look for him in person.
"Then let's go too. Let's finish this quickly and clear Linny's name."
"Wait, Traveler, I'm with you!" Navia also followed.
At the prosecution table, Funina was leisurely, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Ye Yu and others coming back, the smile on his face did not diminish.
"This time, I have decisive evidence!"
"That's such a coincidence. We have just found out the truth of the incident and are just waiting for the trial to begin." Ye Yu was confident.
With Villette's announcement, the trial began again.
According to the investigation of the security team, it was found that the number selector used in the performance and the rope used to hang the water tank had been tampered with.
No matter which seat the number selector chose, it would always be the seat the missing girl was in. And it wasn't an accident that the rope hanging from the water tank was ignited by the fireworks.
Someone had mixed flammable materials into the rope in advance.
No matter how much Linnie used magic props, these clues were still left behind.
The above is the decisive evidence found by Funina's investigation.
Navillette summed it up.
"Ms. Finina, am I to believe that your view is that Linny used magic props to abduct the missing girl without anyone noticing, and that the evidence you described is the evidence he left behind?"
"That's right. After all, apart from the magician himself, who else would know so much about these magic props and use them to commit crimes?" Finina spread her hands.
Skeptical audience: "It seems to be true? But I always feel like something is wrong..."
Rational audience: "Lady Furninna is right."
Admiring audience: "Lady Funina has found the evidence, so she can just pronounce the verdict!"
"Ms. Yeyu, do you have any objection to Ms. Funina's point of view?" asked Villette.
"Yes, Mr. Grand Inquisitor." Ye Yu nodded.
"Besides Linney, there's another person who can also tamper with magic props. That's... Linney's assistant, Cowell, who has already passed away!"
"He is the mastermind behind this magic show accident. His goal is to make Linnie bear the blame for the serial disappearances of young girls!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience started discussing it endlessly.
Some mocked: "Is this agent mentally ill?"
Some questioned: "Haha, are you kidding me? How could the murderer be dead? Did he plan all this to kill himself?"
A rational person said: "If it was an assistant, it is indeed possible that he tampered with the magic props."
The audience expressed their opinions, and the quiet opera house suddenly became noisy.
"Silence!" Villette tapped the floor twice with his cane.
"Ms. Yeyu, do you have evidence to prove that Mr. Cowell is the mastermind behind this magic accident?"
Ye Yu spoke confidently.
"Of course, since Cowell was deceased, we didn't pay much attention to him before. I wonder if the security team has checked his luggage?"
"Go investigate, you might find a surprise~"
"A serious warning to all the security officers who are investigating: if you find a container of pink-purple liquid, remember not to touch it directly..."
"Otherwise people will dissolve into water!"
