Chapter 373

Navilette came to the stage, holding the security team's investigation report in his hand, and announced the results of the investigation of this case to tens of thousands of audiences.

"After investigation, the person in the magic box has unfortunately died. The deceased is named Cowell, one of the assistants in Linny Magic Troupe. The fireworks on the stage ignited the rope above the water tank, which is the direct cause of the water tank's fall."

"As for why the person in the box is Cowell instead of the audience who was selected before, it is not known at this time."

"But after searching, the security team confirmed that the girl seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and no trace of her was found at the scene. There are many doubts about this point."

"In this case, it is not just a simple stage accident at the moment."

After thinking and hesitating, Navilette finally decided to tell this matter

"···It also has many characteristics of the case of serial disappearance of girls."

What, what? Serial disappearance of girls? !

How can this stage accident case be related to the serial disappearance of girls?

Tens of thousands of viewers were shocked after hearing what Villette said. After all, the serial disappearance of girls undoubtedly touched the nerves of all Fontaine people. Now that the highest judge of Fontaine said that this case was related to the serial disappearance of girls, how could they not be shocked?

When Lin Yu was thinking about the serial disappearance of girls, Funina on the high platform suddenly burst into laughter.

Lin Yu, whose thoughts were interrupted, cast his eyes over and looked at Funina with some confusion.

What does she want to do?

"Hahahaha, I know, I know! With this kind of mystery that can be seen through at a glance as the finale, are you underestimating us a little bit?"

"Isn't this skilled and omnipotent magician Mr. Linni the culprit of the serial disappearance of girls?"

Funina's words on the high platform were directly directed at Linni.

Linni was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Why me? This is a complete accident!"

Funina continued: "The whole incident happened during the magic show. The girl was chosen and then disappeared, and the person who died was your assistant."

"Now that I think about it, the opening statement of from existence to nothingness and from nothing to existence seems like a provocation."

Funina gradually became excited as she spoke. She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.

"Miss Funina, everything should be based on evidence, rather than first convicting a person of guilt and then making inferences about his guilt. Does Linni have a motive for killing his magic troupe's assistant? Is there a conflict between the two?" Lin Yu looked in the direction of Funina on the platform and said.

Linni turned around and looked in the direction of Lin Yu. It was obvious that Linni did not expect Lin Yu to argue with the water god for him.

When Funina heard Lin Yu defending Linni, she immediately remembered the first time she met, when she was speechless by Lin Yu.

"Who is this guy? How dare she question him? I think the analysis of Lord Water God is very reasonable. Linni is the most suspicious magician. He should be the murderer."

"Yes, yes, Lord Funina, please accuse him quickly. This will be another wonderful duel. I can't wait."

"Hehe, Lord Funina must have the decisive evidence. In my opinion, this magician named Linni is the suspect of the murderer."

"Lord Funina will definitely stand up and advocate justice for the dead victims!"

Huh? Funina was stunned. The evidence... It can't be said that it is the key evidence. There is no evidence at all.

She just saw that the atmosphere was almost going forward, and she stood up to show her authority as the water god, so that she could convince her people.

This is a habit she has developed over hundreds of years.

At the same time, Navilette, the supreme judge, also looked in the direction of Funina.

"Ms. Funina, can I understand your statement just now as an accusation against Mr. Lini and his companions?"

She, she didn't want to accuse at all... Lini was indeed suspected of committing the crime, but what Lin Yu said was also correct. She didn't have any evidence at the moment.

Would it be too early to accuse Lini now?

What should I do, but now everyone is staring at me and waiting for my answer. If she refuses to make the accusation, then her previous statement... Will her identity be suspected...

Funina made up her mind and did it directly.

"Hahaha, of course, everyone. Compared to the obvious truth, I am more excited about this opponent in front of me."

"Everyone, in fact, this gentleman and I had a duel when we first met. I just didn't expect that she could tie with me. Haha, the most boring thing is a tie."

"There will always be a winner between you and me. Since this grand occasion will come sooner or later, it is only appropriate to appear at the climax of the opera!"

Funina on the high platform said to herself.

Paimon scratched his head and said to Kong beside him: "She obviously lost at that time."

Song nodded.

"From the perspective of universal rationality, it is indeed the case." Zhongli also said.

After listening to the words of the water goddess Funina, Violet then said to the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience.

"I understand, the accusation is established. If there is an accusation, there must be a trial."

"Mr. Lin Yu, Ms. Funina regards you as an opponent. We ignore her exaggerated words and only seek your opinion."

"Are you willing to side with Mr. Linney, defend Mr. Linney, and be his attorney?"

Villette said to Lin Yu with a gentle tone and a sincere attitude.

Now that he encountered such an interesting thing, how could Lin Yu let it go so easily? It's also good to play a little detective game in your spare time. Anyway, he is invincible no matter what.

"Of course, just let me be his agent." Lin Yu said with a relaxed look and no pressure.

Navilette nodded slightly after getting the answer.

Then he looked at the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience and announced in the direction of the audience.

"The trial will be held one day later at the Opera House, and both parties will be free to investigate the incident and find the truth."

"Linney and his magic troupe, as the parties concerned, all need to stay in the opera house. The remaining audience can leave in an orderly manner after the security team confirms."

After Villette finished speaking, Funina said again.

"One day is really not a long time, but since you can tie with me, then I will recognize your ability. Hahahaha, just whether you can make waves, I sincerely look forward to it."

After the adjournment was announced, the audience gradually dispersed, and Funina and Navilette also left.

Kong, Paimeng, Zhongli, Qingyu and Mandrill stayed in the opera house as Lin Yu's companions, and everyone came to Lin Yu.

"Okay, okay everyone, this detective is going to start officially investigating this case."

"Let's go, everyone, in order to find the real culprit as soon as possible and clear Linnie's innocence, let's start investigating the crime scene now."

Linni interjected: "My every move now is being watched by the security team. In order to facilitate the removal of suspicion, I can only wait for you here."

"Thanks to Young Master Lin Yu for your willingness to be my agent. Thank you very much. Now the only one I can rely on is you."

"Please." Linnette also said.

Paimeng patted his chest, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine if Lin Yu takes action. I believe Lin Yu will be able to restore your innocence."

Everyone walked from the audience to the stage, and then Lin Yu approached the crime scene as an agent.

There was a trace of blood on the ground, and the deceased Cowell was pressed under the board. He had been hammered into Cowell sauce by the water tank, and was stuck between the floor and the board.

Fortunately, most of it is covered by the remains of wooden boxes, so it’s not that hard to accept in terms of appearance.

Lin Yu stood at the crime scene and waved casually, then took out a pen and notebook from his body. He held the pen in one hand and the notebook in the other and recorded everything at the scene seriously.

"Qing Yu"

"What's wrong? Our great Mr. Detective, is there anything you need me to do?" Qing Yu came to Lin Yu's side and said.

Lin Yu nodded and said, "I need to know the detailed information of the victim Cowell, as well as the identity information of the selected girl. Could you please get it from the security team?"

Now that he is Lin Nifang's agent in this case, he naturally has the right to obtain these evidences.

"Yu... Mr. Detective, is there anything I can do?"

Seeing Master Yushen ordering Qing Yu to do things, Mandrill began to gradually lose control of his heart. He came to Lin Yu and asked.

"Of course, Mandrill, I need you to ask Linny and Linnette about the entire process of the box transfer magic. Generally speaking, only after knowing all the facts will it be easier for the detective to act."

"Okay, Mr. Detective, I'll be right back!" Mandrill suppressed the excitement in his heart, then left Lin Yu and walked towards the audience towards Linni and Linnet.

According to Master Yugami's request, he will learn from Linni and Linnette the entire process of the box transfer magic, without missing a beat.

After arranging these things, Lin Yu continued to observe the details of the crime scene carefully.

The first thing I noticed was the broken rope.

"The rope looks quite strong. I didn't expect it to be ignited by fireworks..." Paimon said with lingering fear as he saw obvious signs of burning on one end of the rope and recalled the scene of the water tank falling.

Zhongli touched his chin and said: "Based on common rationality, since this kind of rope is flammable, there is a possibility of being ignited by fireworks, but the probability is less than one ten thousandth."

"You can't just look at the surface of things. Sometimes the inside is more important." As he spoke, Lin Yu held a black magnifying glass in his hand and slowly squatted down to observe the rope carefully.

Next, in the eyes of everyone, Lin Yu's pocket was like a treasure bag. He first took out a transparent evidence bag, and then took out a pair of tweezers. He used the tweezers to reach towards the unburned rope on the ground and stir up the ashes. I found something resembling tinder in it.

Clip the tinder and put it in the evidence bag.

Lin Yu held the evidence bag and said: "Just like now, it looks like an ordinary rope on the surface, but in fact it hides something. Although it is almost burned clean, a little is still retained."

"Evidence shows that the rope has been tampered with and mixed with flammable materials, so it is extremely easy to ignite. This will be a very important clue."

After putting away the evidence bag, Lin Yu continued.

"Even if it is proven that the rope has been tampered with, it is still not enough to support the possibility that it was ignited by fireworks. The probability of less than one in 10,000 is too low."

"The rope has been tampered with, which further proves this point, so I think this must be done deliberately by someone. After excluding Linny and Linnette, who else can do it?"

"I suspect that there is something wrong with the lady who disappeared. If there is no problem, the person who appeared in the box should be the lady, but we don't know what happened to Cowell and the lady during this period. "

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Paimeng was very surprised.

"Hey!! Could it be that lady? Wasn't she a randomly selected person through the number selector? Since it was a randomly selected person, how could there be a motive for committing the crime?" Paimon exclaimed in disbelief.

"Excluding all impossibilities, even if the rest seems impossible, it is still the truth." Lin Yu said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Then, while fiddling with the white gloves he had put on at some point, he walked towards the lottery machine placed on the side of the stage and used to select lucky spectators during Linney's magic show.

He gently tapped the wooden shell of the lottery machine with his white-gloved hand, making bursts of sound.

"Mr. Zhongli, it's your turn to show your strength. Please check this lottery machine carefully to see if there is any possibility that it has been tampered with by others."

"Understood." Zhongli nodded.

Later, under Zhongli's careful inspection, he discovered the problem.

"There is a special design in this lottery machine. There will be no problem if you move the lever with normal force. Once you move the lever with a strong force, the mechanism will be triggered, allowing the number drawn by the lottery machine to accurately stay at 055. That's the lady's seat." Zhong Li explained the mystery behind this lottery machine.

Paimon immediately said: "Well... the person who designed this mechanism is really disgusting. At that time, Linny's magic was developing toward its climax. At this stage, Linny's hand movements were exaggerated and expressive. He moved the lever like this How can the strength be so small?"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened, so the mastermind behind the scenes took a fancy to this."

"Then let's take this evidence and tell Villette that this is not Linny's problem at all!! Someone is obviously deliberately sabotaging everything behind the scenes." Paimon said, stamping his feet in the air in anger.

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "No, Paimon, these evidences cannot help clear Linni's suspicion. On the contrary, they are still increasing the possibility of Linni being a criminal step by step."

"As the magician of the entire show, he was involved in all aspects of the magic process."

"So we still need to find other more powerful evidence."
