"Could it be the President's wife?"
Furina guessed again.
"That President seems to have a mistress outside, hmm... what a scumbag!"
Furina analyzed and got angry at the same time. Suddenly, she felt that this President deserved to die. She already had a wife, yet she still had a mistress outside. What a scumbag!
Glancing at Liu Yuan, Furina silently thought: Liu Yuan is still the best, she's only ever good to me, hmph hmph...
Suppressing her thoughts again, Furina continued:
"And that President's wife also hired a detective to investigate her husband, and she knew about her husband having a mistress outside, but she didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, she was unusually calm, as if she tacitly approved of it...
"I think there's a problem here. After all, what wife can remain calm after seeing her husband has a mistress outside? Maybe she was super angry inside, so she thought about murdering her husband?"
If I were to ask myself, if I were to marry Liu Yuan later... wait... why am I putting myself in that position? How could Liu Yuan possibly have someone else outside? But if we were to marry...
Furina was daydreaming again, but she still expressed her thoughts completely before getting lost in her reverie.
"Hmm, that also makes a lot of sense, but there's still a bit of a problem," Liu Yuan said softly.
Furina blinked, then frowned slightly, pinching her chin, looking as if she was deep in thought.
This was the problem with this trial. Both parties were suspected of murdering the victim, and the suspicion was not small, but both parties believed that the other party had murdered the victim. Coupled with the fact that neither of their evidence was very complete, this led the trial into a deadlock.
"Both sides are suspects... both sides could have committed the murder... but both have evidence proving they didn't do it. Could it be..."
Furina's eyes lit up as she looked at Liu Yuan:
"Could it be that neither of them is the murderer?!"
Furina thought she had guessed the correct answer, waiting for Liu Yuan to praise her, but Liu Yuan shook her head.
"What if both of them lied?"
"Both of them lied?"
Furina's eyes widened, suddenly interested. She knew Liu Yuan wouldn't lie to her, and she suddenly remembered that Liu Yuan had the ability to see other people's emotions!
Furina was a little unhappy, like she had painstakingly guessed and written an answer to a question, only for Liu Yuan to just look at the answer directly. It was like cheating!
"Yes, both of them lied," Liu Yuan nodded gently.
"Both of them lied? Could it be..."
Furina looked at the stands. At this moment, the President's wife and the Deputy President, who were on their respective high platforms, seemed to be starting to panic. Perhaps due to nervousness, their speech also began to become intermittent.
President's wife: "The day my husband died, you came to my house for dinner and even brought a fish! You said this fish cost you a lot of money, so I used this fish to make a dish.
But as soon as it was served, my husband had an accident after only a few bites! Isn't this your problem?! And the Gardes's report also states that toxic components were detected in the fish, and it was a very special alchemical toxin that wouldn't be neutralized by high-temperature cooking. If it wasn't you who did it, then who was it?!"
Deputy President: "The fish I brought had no problems at all! You should know, the fish was still alive when I brought it over, and the boss who helped me deliver the fish can completely testify to that! If I poisoned the fish, how could it have survived!
It was clearly you who poisoned the fish while cooking, and you even deliberately placed the fish in front of the President when serving it! This was clearly planned! And after murdering the President, you tried to push all the blame onto me!"
The two spoke to each other from their high platforms, their words gradually losing logic and devolving into mutual insults.
This even incited the audience below to discuss, and the Opera House gradually became noisy.
"Silence, silence!"
At the Chief Justice's bench, Neuvillette leaned on his staff, his authoritative voice mixed with a hint of pressure spreading throughout the entire Opera House.
The noisy discussions instantly ceased, and everyone's gaze converged on the Chief Justice.
However, at this moment, on the highest viewing platform, the God of Fontaine unexpectedly spoke up:
"Such clumsy acting, such obvious lies, how boring."
A statement perfectly befitting the Hydro Archon's demeanor appeared. All the audience members present found it interesting. After all, in most trials, their Hydro Archon would always suddenly speak up to attract attention, and they had long grown accustomed to it.
But this time, it seemed a little different. The Hydro Archon seemed to have seen that someone among them was lying?
Neuvillette, sitting on the Chief Justice's bench, frowned slightly. After all, in most cases, when Furina spoke during a trial, she would usually express strange views and ideas that were mostly useless to the trial's progress and would instead waste time.
However, Neuvillette did not stop her. After all, the "Hydro Archon" had the freedom to speak during trials. This was a rule that existed from the very beginning when the Opera House was established, and he could not negate this rule.
President's wife: "What more do you have to say? Even the Hydro Archon knows you're lying! It really is you who's lying, isn't it?!"
The President's wife suddenly seemed to have gained confidence, but the next moment, Furina continued:
"Madam Linette Nina, it is you who are lying!"
Her tone carried a hint of confidence, a feeling Furina had never experienced before. Liu Yuan by her side was her confidence, giving her the feeling of being a detective for the first time!
Detective Furina and her assistant Liu Yuan began to reveal the truth to everyone!
President's wife: "!!!!"
"You... you must be joking, right? How could I possibly kill someone! And that person is my husband! How could I do such a thing!"
The President's wife was startled, then began to vehemently refute, and started to present various pieces of evidence.
"Look at this, according to the Gardes's analysis of the toxins in the fish, the toxins were found throughout all the fish. The fish was brought by this guy! It has nothing to do with me! How could I have poisoned it?!"
