Chapter 349 The Truth
Chapter 349 The Truth
Halsey, no, she should be called Lillian, she is not from Fontaine, but just a thief from Mond.
I don’t know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky, she happened to steal the ticket of Cowell’s intended target.
This made her Cowell's new target, but because of this, the girl who should have dissolved in the original fetal sea avoided the fate of death.
"...After entering the box, I was inexplicably drenched in water. Then, a stranger tried to knock me out. Fortunately, I was quite skilled and managed to knock him out and stuff him into the box..."
"...I was a thief, and when I encountered this situation, I thought I was going to be caught, so I had no choice but to hide in the tunnel. It wasn't until the guards arrived that I took advantage of their laxity and escaped."
There is no need to say much about what happened next. Because the theater was under martial law due to the murder, Lillian could not escape and was caught by Navia and others who had a clear goal.
At this point, with Lillian's supplement, the whole story became completely clear.
The so-called muffled sound was probably caused by Lillian being drenched in water and breaking out of the tunnel due to nervousness.
Cowell entered the tunnel after hearing the sound and found Lillian who had not been dissolved. He did not know that Lillian was not the girl he had chosen, and thought that the outbreak of the primordial fetal sea would take time, so he planned to knock Lillian unconscious and stuff her back into the box, but he lost the fight with her and was stuffed into the box instead.
Lini was in the Oracle room at the time, so he knew nothing about it.
Finally, the fall of the water tank that Cowell had planned to use to cover up the original fetal sea ultimately led to his death.
Ying also deduced the entire story based on this new information.
"Does Funina have any different opinions on Mr. Linny's statement?"
That Villette asked in a formulaic manner, even though everyone present knew the truth was out.
Egolia shook her head.
"We agree with Mr. Linny's statement, but..."
Egolia quietly nudged Funina, who uttered a puzzled "Hmm?" before finally reacting.
"Ahem, we admit that Mr. Linney is indeed not the murderer of the missing girl, but we still believe that he is guilty of entering the room where the core oracle of Fontaine is located without permission."
The audience in the audience was also very respectful.
"As expected of Lady Finina, you actually uncovered another hidden crime from one case!"
"Yes, yes. Although Linny wasn't involved in the girl's disappearance, he did have ulterior motives with the Oracle. He said he was just researching it, but who knows what he's up to?"
"He's the Fatui after all. I wouldn't be surprised if he said he wanted to destroy the Oracle."
"I said Lady Finina wouldn't wrongly accuse a good person. She must have seen through Linny's sins at first sight!"
"quiet!!!"
Villette was a little tired. What was going on with today's trial? Why was it always so noisy?
"Mr. Linny, do you have any objection to Funina's accusations?"
"...No..."
Linny shook his head. What objection could he have? He was the one who spread the news...
Fortunately, the reputation of the Fatui was preserved, and such a vile and dirty thing as kidnapping a young girl must never be touched!
"Since everyone agrees, I, the High Judge of Fontaine, will recount the entire case..."
"...As for the final outcome of Lini, it will be decided by the Cardinal of the Decree."
"Therefore, I formally declare that Linny attempted to steal state secrets and was sentenced to one year in prison. Linnet, not guilty."
Ying was somewhat helpless about this result, but Linni's self-explosion was a fact, and Linnit's innocence was already the best result.
Finina patted her chest quietly and thought to herself,
Fortunately, although the accusation was wrong this time, it was not considered an injustice against a good person.
Egolia didn't pay attention to the final result. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Hines who had returned to his seat.
Although Linny is innocent, if she were in the same situation, she would choose to help Linny.
But wasn't Xines openly opposing her by doing this? This guy probably didn't want to go back to his room to sleep!
Since you like being outside so much, you don’t have to go home tonight!
Hines, who knew nothing about this, was still chatting happily with Myles beside him.
"Myles, do you get paid much?"
"Sir, it's vulgar to talk about wages."
"I see. It turns out the Thorn Rose Society doesn't have much liquidity either."
"Ahem, don't let the young lady hear this."
"What can't you say that I can't hear?"
"Nothing, nothing..."
Navia looked at Myles with an unnatural expression with suspicion, and then looked at Silver beside her.
"What did Silver and the other two just say?"
"Miss, they said that the Thorn Rose Club is out of money!"
"..."
How did you guys get the conversation to such an awkward point?
But Navia had no way to refute it. After all, the main source of funding for the Rose Thorn Society was donations from residents, and most of the funds were used to help residents.
Hines chuckled. If he still had Mora, he wouldn't mind supporting the Thorn Rose Society. However...
Hey, talking too much brings tears to my eyes!
Back then, he didn't even care about 300 million, but now he has a hard time taking out 300. He can only think about buying a small cake...
Thinking of this, Xines sighed softly.
"Is the Thorn Rose Club still hiring?"
"?"
You know we're poor, but you still want to come and work for us? How poor are you? *3
But after all, he was someone who had helped her, so Navia couldn't say no.
"Of course, you can join anytime you want, but the salary..."
Hines waved his hand.
"Salary is so cliché, just give me a limited edition cake instead."
"?"*3
Navia imagined what it would be like to pay Shinese his salary in the future.
"Hello, this is your salary for this month, and one and a half limited edition cupcakes..."
Oh my god, is this really normal?
Myles also couldn't help laughing,
"If you want a small cake, I can treat you."
"Myles, just for what you said, you are already my good friend!"
After saying that, Hines looked at Silver beside him, but Silver didn't look away and refused to meet Hines' eyes.
Silver: You want to cheat me, Mora? No way!
Hines smacked his lips with a hint of regret, but it was already great to get one piece. He would go home and ask Egolia for some Mora. Supporting the Thorn Rose Society was not a waste of money, and Egolia would definitely support it.
Egolia: Yes, yes, you talk, I'm listening.
