The candlelight on the second floor swayed due to the wind caused by the cloak, and the swaying light shone on the faces of everyone with different expressions. Islandia was still calm, Mo Yuankai was smiling, Orianna hadn't fully reacted, and Gongsun Ce was smiling like a devil.
Jane Diela's face turned blue, her breathing speeded up unconsciously, and her clear eyes suddenly became confused. She pointed at Gongsun Ce and screamed angrily: "This is perjury! It was you who turned around and lit the candlestick again——"
"Do I have this time?" Gongsun Ce said calmly, "It took less than 10 seconds from the time you shouted at the bottom of the stairs to when you came in. According to your eyewitness testimony, I was by the window at the stairway at that time. , this little time is enough for me to run back and forth on the second floor, but not enough for me to light the candlestick and go back downstairs to sit down?"
Gongsun Ce was no longer anxious at this time. He turned around and asked, "Let me ask you about the witnesses. Brother, Miss Orianna, did you notice the candlelight on the second floor when you came?"
Mo Yuankai and Orianna shook their heads together: "I didn't pay attention." "Sorry, I was following Jane..."
"What about you? Knight Airandia, what did you see?"
"When I came, the candlelight on the second floor was already on." Airandia said.
"Oh~~~~" Gongsun Ce spread his hands exaggeratedly, "What's going on, knight attendant?"
An idea flashed in Jane's mind and she said excitedly: "You used your superpower! You went downstairs by yourself and used your power to drag the candlestick to light up the second floor -"
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers: "Please, Knight Arlandia."
Alandia shook her head: "Mr. Gongsun only used his superpower once during this period, which was when he entered the door at 9:03:34."
The knight's entourage was speechless.
Gongsun Ce crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and said slowly: "This is troublesome. It seems that this candlestick is already lit. Why should I carry a candle everywhere? Your exquisite expositions are full of righteousness. The accusation...why did it suddenly become nonsense, follower?!
Now your reasonings are meaningless because the foundation on which they were based has collapsed - unfortunately, your testimony itself is a lie! "
Of course, the words of these two people are all false.
What Jane said about the candlestick and the theft process were all lies, and the scene Jane claimed to have witnessed was also a lie. But the Taoist who played lies used a lie to cover up the fictitious reasoning of the knight's entourage. In the bright moment on the second floor, in the moment when no one can prove the condition of the second floor, the lie is covered up by another big lie.
Now they have no real evidence in their hands, only the eyewitness testimonies of the participants. Jane could not prove that the candlestick on the second floor was lit later, so all her previous remarks became malicious accusations. And this way...
Why did she want to frame this young man whom she met for the first time?
"simple……"
Even the innocent and kind-hearted Orianna thought of that possibility.
A person with superpowers who just arrived in Superbia today, or a follower who follows the Knight of Dawn every day and even has the key to this mansion, who is more likely to be the thief who stole the seal?
"Let's talk about the real situation. After I entered the house, I saw a suspicious black shadow. Its body seemed to be made of dust, and it was holding the box with the seal in its hand. I was following the black shadow. In the process, he was scattered, the box fell, and screams were heard outside the window at the same time. I have reason to suspect that the black shadow is actually someone's ability, and the criminal who stole the seal is the one who summoned the black shadow!"
Gongsun Ce slammed the table with the candlestick and pointed forward: "That person is you, Jane Diela. You are the real thief!"
Jane grasped her two braids tightly with both hands. The expression on her face was too ugly to be that of a lady, and her tone became rude unconsciously: "You...you dare to pour dirty water on me? Eat shit." Damn it! Maggot-infested dead pig! Your dirty, immoral mouth deserves to be burned by fire!"
Gongsun Ce smiled disdainfully and said, "How dare you talk to me like that? Your mother is a wholesaler?"
Orianna deeply condemned the vulgar taste that emerged from her heart, but somehow the swearing words were also obscene.
Gotta... make people want to laugh a bit...
"Haha, cough!" Mo Yuankai had already laughed out loud. He tried his best to look serious, "Ahem...Ace, this case seems a bit complicated. We are not professionals. Isn’t it bad for the handling staff to accuse others with such empty words? You should always ask professionals to make a judgment.”
"That's right, brother." Gongsun Ce nodded repeatedly, "We need to invite professionals! Not only the police, but also knights and mages. All supernatural abilities such as time divination and karma divination are available. Use it, then we can get to the bottom of the incident!"
"No!" Jane screamed, "Having such a battle in the middle of the night? This will damage the reputation of Knight Airandia! You... God, Knight Airandia, please help Me! He is slandering me!"
Alandia stood in the middle of the aisle, right in the middle of Gongsun Ce and Jane. She looked into the eyes of the young man in black and stated the facts she knew: "Cases involving supernatural factors often require a long and detailed investigation and evidence collection using various methods before they can be formally tried in a large court. Therefore, in In the formal process, as a suspect involved in the case, you will be under strict supervision for at least a month until a fair and credible referee actually convenes the case."
Gongsun Ce almost couldn't stand still: "A month?! Are you kidding me?! Do you still want to cover her up when this fact hits you in the face?!"
Islandia's performance remained unchanged from usual: "I will not shield anyone. Mr. Gongsun, you raised a new possibility and expanded the number of suspects from one to two, but the essence of the incident has not changed: you There's still the possibility of theft. If you want to get out of trouble, you need proof."
Jane's gloomy complexion suddenly became lively. She approached Alandia and said with high spirits, "Exactly! Investigations require evidence. You just spit out malicious words, but you can't produce any evidence. This It’s all slander against me, and combined with the previous perjury, it will make your crime even more serious!”
"Okay, then let's take a look at the evidence that you used your abilities to commit crimes."
Gongsun Ce's panicked expression suddenly disappeared, like an actor washing off the paint on his face. He said confidently: "Knight Arlandia, please check the records of Mnemosyne near Dawson Street between 8:50 and 9:03!"
Alandia generated the light curtain again, moved her gaze downwards, and said: "At 9:00 at night, in front of No. 27 Fanhua Street, Jane Diela."
Flower Street is just behind Dawson Street, which is only a few meters away for paranormal criminals. Gongsun Ce smiled and nodded, and said with a victor's attitude: "It seems that my inference is correct. Miss Jian, you can never be so innocent again!"
"……ha."
However, at this time, Jane laughed. She smiled so proudly, as if she was sure of her chances of winning and his mistake.
Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that compared to him, a foreigner who had just arrived, Jian Hui, who lived locally, would be more familiar with this recording mechanism. Would she really make such an easy mistake...?
"That's all you want to say, Gongsun Ce?"
Jane walked to Orianna's side and took the female knight's hand affectionately: "I did use my own impermanent method, at this time and at this place. It was at the door of a coffee shop, and it was me and the knight Orianna. The place where Anna met. These two kind people can testify for me that I just lit an oil lamp for convenience!"
The honest female knight opened her mouth in embarrassment, but decided to tell the truth: "This is true... Jane often uses her impermanent method to light lamps..."
Jane looked at Gongsun Ce proudly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. His eyes were like those of a city gentleman looking at a hard worker in the countryside, or like a well-dressed noble looking at an ignorant poor boy: "And all the senior members of the Knights are looking at them. You can testify for me that my power has nothing to do with what you call the shadow. Come out, Holy Guard of the Morning [Phoebus]."
A beam of white light emerged from behind Jane and condensed into a tall and majestic human figure, wearing gorgeous armor and covering his face with a helmet. Her appearance looks like a Valkyrie condensed with light, and it really has nothing to do with the so-called "dust-like black shadow".
Jane raised her chin and said proudly: "My spiritual appearance is the power that brings warmth and is a sacred guard. Your testimony is all despicable lies. What a funny clown show!"
·
"..."
Gongsun Ce pinched his fingers tightly. He really didn't expect that the other party would do this. She deliberately used her eldest brother and Orianna to create proof of her unused abilities.
Now everyone knows that Jane is suspicious, but he has not been able to completely clear away his own suspicions. If it really goes to Morton's internal court, it's not just his vacation that will be ruined. Everyone in the mainstream public regards people with super powers as their enemies. Can the law enforcement of these so-called "impermanent law envoys" be fair?
There are as many ways to fabricate evidence as there are, and it’s not just what the people of the Kingdom say! I am afraid that just to cover up the internal scandal, the people of the Kingdom will treat him as a criminal in this theft.
"Tsk... aren't you going to say something?"
Gongsun Ce glared at the silver-haired knight, while Alandia acted as indifferent as a machine: "If you have nothing to say, Mr. Gongsun, I'm afraid I will have to solve this case this time."
"***...!"
"Please watch your words."
"What I say is none of your business!"
The young man's unwillingness to admit defeat suddenly emerged, burning his soul like a flame. He didn't want to give up, and he didn't want to admit defeat again. This woman's words sounded so irritating, just like when they parted in Shadow and Mist... He didn't want to be looked down upon by this woman! Z.br>
"I think everyone should calm down, maybe other... other gangsters... Jane and Mr. Gongsun have no reason..." Orianna urged anxiously. "You are so kind, Orianna! This brat deserves to be punished for his stupidity!" Jane said proudly.
Gongsun Ce forced himself to calm down and ignore the noise in the environment. Thinking about it, it must have been Jane who did it. Time was so tight that she finally found an opportunity to make an attack. She had to make a quick decision...how did she do it...how to use her ability...
Jane has another accomplice? Does she have a second ability? A record of how she managed to avoid the barrier? But this is all speculation... There's no way to prove it... Damn it! After finally dragging her into the water, she ended up here? Doesn't he have any evidence in his hand, even if it's just a conjecture...!
"Ace."
A familiar voice came through the noise, and Mo Yuankai smiled encouragingly at him.
"I'm watching from the side, don't worry, just say whatever comes to mind!"
The anxious Gongsun Ce suddenly calmed down. His state of mind, which was disturbed by the shadow fog, black shadows and the eucalyptus, was as quiet as a lake at this moment. The young man also laughed. What did he have to worry about? Being framed, framed? That's all a joke. The hero of the sky can stand beside him and just solve the problem normally.
He suddenly figured out that this trick was actually not very clever...the answer lay in the riddle.
"Okay, let's let the evidence speak for itself."
"Now that things have happened, what evidence do you still want to forge?" Jane said contemptuously.
Gongsun Ce pointed the forward index finger of his right hand at Jane's hand, pointing at the oil lamp that she had been carrying.
"I don't need to forge anything. The evidence of the crime is in your own hands." Gongsun Ce smiled, "Jian Diera, please use your own impermanent method to light this lamp again! "
"————!"
Jane's face suddenly turned purple. She took a small step back, her hands trembling slightly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with..."
"Then light it up, knight and entourage." Gongsun Ce did not give in. "In this way, the truth will naturally be revealed."
Jane gritted her teeth and looked at the Dawn Knight for help. But the silver-haired woman didn't say a word, there was only wordless silence. The knight's entourage gritted his teeth and made a gesture, causing the Holy Guard of the Morning Light to brush his hand over the oil lamp.
The lights that had been extinguished were lit again, but there was no more vision in the room.
"Look -" she said excitedly
, trying to declare victory.
However, the super-powered being was faster than her words. Mo Yuankai reached out to the right at the same time, and the golden translucent stand penetrated the wall of No. 91 Dawson Street, decomposing and reconstructing the masonry wall, turning it into a gray road leading to the night sky. The road instantly extended to a hundred meters away, and under the influence of the hero's stance, it turned into pillars and rose up, becoming a stone cage.
Golden light penetrated the night sky, illuminating the appearance in the cage: a black figure wearing a mask stood up at this moment. Its body was made entirely of tiny dust-like particles, motionless under the confinement of the light. Just like real criminals can't hide in the light.
This is the answer to Jian Zuoyu's mystery. The act of lighting a lamp itself has meaning, because her seemingly ordinary oil lamp is an item with magical power...a telepathic weapon that can summon black shadows!
Snapped!
Jane's oil lamp smashed to pieces on the ground, and two clown cards flew from the other end of the corridor and pierced the wall behind Jane. These two cards passed through her braid one on the left and the other on the right, breaking the hair rope and causing the hair of the knight's entourage to spread out. She scratched her head in disbelief and let out a piercing scream.
Gongsun Ce laughed and saluted, stood up and waved his cloak: "Goodbye, second-rate detective!"
Poor Orianna covered her forehead, looked at the knight entourage in disbelief, and muttered: "How could it be possible...how could it be possible..."
Jane Diela fell to the ground weakly at this moment. The disheveled woman looked at Alandia, her friends and colleagues almost pleadingly.
Tears gradually leaked out of Jane's eyes: "My... my hair rope... Miss Airandia! He humiliated me!
"
"Yes." Alandia nodded.
"I am your follower." Jane's voice trembled, "I am...I am your friend...you are the Envoy of World Creation!
Dawn Knight!
Your followers have been humiliated!
Are you just watching and doing nothing? ! How can you be so heartless!
"
For the first time, Airandia Helleson's words contained emotions that others could sense. She no longer looked like a machine. At this moment, Gongsun Ce felt for the first time that the Dawn Knight was a person of flesh and blood.
"The thing that surprised me most tonight is that a person can act so legitimately when framed by others, but resist the retaliation of others with an aggrieved and weak attitude."
The Dawn Knight closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
"——They designed to trap me, Airandia!"
Jane said as if begging for mercy, and her proud spirit disappeared without a trace like an hallucination. At this time, she looked pitiful and pathetic, which made others feel pity. But Gongsun Ce didn't feel any sympathy at all. He just felt that this woman's acting was so realistic that it made him sick.
"It's the power of that superpower! They all created false evidence together, I..."
Alandia shook her head slowly. Not a word was said.
"Alandia!" Jane held her hands tightly and said with great grievance, "I am your friend! You have to believe me!"
I...I really can't stand your difficult situation...I came up with this idea that I shouldn't have just to help you!
Just write a confessional letter! Be more frank and admit that you destroyed the Holy Fire Armor, then everyone will be relaxed! "
These words suddenly shocked the two superpowers. Jian banged the floor like a jar and cried, "They are now saying that you are a thief and you are shouting to catch the thief, Alandia! You just can't Are you willing to lower your head? I can help you! You are the Envoy of World Creation. They will not do anything to you. Just apologize and it will be over. You will no longer have to live in such embarrassment!"
The seal is proof of identity... A letter with only a seal but no signature is often used in confessions admitting crimes... The suspect in the destruction of the Holy Fire Armor is Airendia Helleson...
Gongsun Ce finally put together this endless chain. Then, he couldn't bear it anymore. He laughed and walked to the attendant and squatted down, looking into her green eyes.
"Stop fooling yourself, Jane Diela..."
Gongsun Ce smiled coldly: "From the moment you framed me for your own innocence, all your actions and thoughts have nothing to do with goodwill."
Jane collapsed on the ground in despair. She was still saying something, but no one paid attention to her words anymore.
This is the end of the small pieces surrounding the seal.
