Chapter 204 The Crime Has Been Convicted
Hearing Qiuhe's words, the captain also stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that Qiuhe looked like he was about to cause trouble, and that their captain seemed about to lose his temper again, the subordinates could only say, "Kid..."
Our investigation was conducted according to procedure, and the 50 mora was a fee that should have been paid.
"That's right, we've investigated the scene thoroughly, and there are absolutely no clues."
"Yes, if we don't charge you just because there were no clues at the scene, then you can easily file false reports in the future."
"Then aren't we guards just like dogs, being rotated around by you?"
"We need to go back and report the current situation to Lord Vilette. Don't bother us anymore; we don't have time to play detective games with kids."
Go find someone else to play with. Let's go, Captain. There are people watching. It's not good to argue with a kid.
As the surrounding guards chimed in with their own words, the captain, feigning magnanimity, spoke up: "You little bastard, for the sake of my brothers..."
I'm ignoring you because I spoke up for you; we need to hurry back and report the situation to Lord Vilette.
If you dare cause trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite. Hmph, let's go." With that, the group turned to leave again. "You say there are no clues inside, so there are no clues?"
"What will you say if I find a clue?" The group stopped again, and the captain of the guard slowly turned to look at Qiuhe.
After a few seconds of pause, he said, "Idiot." He turned to leave again, and this time Qiuhe didn't waste any more words, beginning to gather energy in his hands.
The ring on his thumb shattered instantly into countless cubes, which then coalesced in the sky into a giant sword. With a powerful swing of the giant sword...
Just centimeters from the feet of the guards, a huge horizontal slash suddenly appeared in the path. This unexpected attack...
The captain and several guards were so frightened that they all sat down on the ground with a thud. "This sword mark is the boundary. If you dare to step across it, I will make sure you die a horrible death."
After Qiuhe finished speaking with boundless rage, the greatsword shattered into countless tiny cubes, which then returned to Qiuhe's finger as a ring.
The guards, who had witnessed the giant sword slash down right before their eyes, were now all so terrified that they sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The group heard Qiuhe's threatening words, but not entirely, because the captain of the guards, after hearing Qiuhe's words...
They understood that he had made the sword mark with his greatsword, and the captain quickly stood up and turned to look at Qiuhe.
"You bastard!" the captain cursed through gritted teeth, then lunged at Qiuhe, but several guards nearby quickly restrained him.
"Captain, Captain, you saw it yourself. This person is clearly not an ordinary person. We need to go back and report to Lord Vilette immediately."
Seeing the guard captain's furious expression, Qiuhe spoke up, "Lord Water God sent me to investigate this case."
I'm now in charge of this case, but you're all making me very angry. If this isn't resolved today...
Even Vilette couldn't save you." After Qiuhe finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of the wind.
The guards and the guard captain just stared at Qiu He. Qiu He thought his plan had succeeded, just like last time, and that he had once again frightened them.
But to everyone's surprise, the next second, "Pfft!" one of the guards couldn't help but chuckle, followed by all of them bursting into laughter.
Even the guard captain, who had just been full of resentment, was amused by Qiu He's words and burst into laughter. Qiu He was also somewhat bewildered by this outcome.
This shouldn't have been the outcome he envisioned. Just then, the guard captain wiped away tears of laughter and spoke with a mocking tone:
"You little bastard, although I don't know how you did that just now, I understand now. You might not be an ordinary person. If you were to say you're some kind of demon that has become a spirit..."
I might still be able to believe it, but ha, ha, ha, ha, you actually said you were sent by the Water God to take over this case, ha, ha, ha, ha!
You little bastard, do you even know who the Water God is? He's a high-ranking and powerful deity in Fontaine, the god of justice for all of Teyvat!
Even the Supreme Judge Navelette is merely her subordinate. How dare you, a stray dog from the roadside, claim to be a servant of our noble and holy Water Goddess?
"Hahahaha, what? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?" After several guards burst into laughter, the guard captain wiped away tears streaming from the corners of his eyes from his uncontrollable laughter.
"Oh my god, alright, I've laughed enough. All of you, charge! Take down this dangerous monster that's threatening Fontaine right now!"
The guards beside him exchanged bewildered glances, and then one of them whispered in the guard captain's ear:
"Captain, if he really is some kind of demon that has transformed into a human, we might not be a match for him. You saw that huge sword just now too."
"If they were to cut us, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—it'd be no different." "Idiot! How can you say such spineless things and still call yourself a guard?"
The opponent is just a small monster. We have Lord Vilette backing us up. This bastard is just trying to scare us.
"If he really dares to attack us, and if Lord Villette finds out, then he will truly be doomed," Qiuhe listened to the captain of the guards' words.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, "Tsk, so that's how it is. Do people with powerful backers and connections usually have IQs that drop to negative numbers?"
"No wonder those short dramas are full of idiots." "What are you all standing there for? Get to work! Today, this bastard will never leave alive!"
Seeing this, the guards also got into a fighting stance, drawing their submachine guns and swords. Qiuhe knew that it seemed there was no way to remain inactive.
"Old steward, you and that maid should go back to your room and hide. Things might get a little messy here soon," Qiuhe said.
The ring on her finger shattered into countless cubes once more with the energy, which then coalesced into a sharp sword that gleamed with a cold light.
Meanwhile, at the Opiclie Opera House, a trial that had been delayed for four years finally drew to a close, entering its final chapter.
"Chiag, go first. Based on the above information and all the irrefutable evidence, five years ago you secretly murdered a competitor of Fontaine due to a conflict."
He hid the body under a large ship in Baisong Town. Three years ago, he wanted to seize power and eliminate Carles because he needed the manpower and financial resources of the Rose Society.
Therefore, during a gathering with friends, someone poisoned Carles's drink, leaving him severely poisoned. Two years ago, your daughter was born with organ defects that led to organ failure. Finally...
He chose to murder a girl named Lorna Qiari, harvested her organs and transplanted them into his own daughter, and finally dissected the girl's body and disposed of it at Lake Yulania.
And a year ago, you stole important documents related to Fontaine's future planning and reforms. Meanwhile, a young girl named Emmett Melusin witnessed you stealing the documents.
"In the end, you chose to silence him. Do you admit to the aforementioned accusations?" Upon hearing this, Chiag confessed to all his crimes.
The crowd below clenched their fists and gritted their teeth in anger. All of Chiag's crimes had been exposed, and his hypocritical mask had been completely torn off.
All of Chiag's crimes were stained with blood, based on the fact that in his previous life, Ranahl colluded with the Fools, causing the final seawater to melt a small portion of the people in the Ash River.
The number of people killed by Chiag is almost greater than the total population of the Gray River. Compared to the number of people dissolved in the Gray River in the previous life, the number of people harmed by Chiag is several times smaller.
If it weren't for the law, judging by the way these people were looking at Chiag, they probably would have torn him apart at any moment. Kares, sitting in the audience...
Hearing about these recorded crimes, it was hard to believe. It was only after hearing that the criminal who poisoned him three years ago had been caught that Kares arrived at the Opizley Opera House.
Although so much time has passed and Kares has long since moved on from the incident, he is still very curious about who poisoned him.
Now that he knew the answer, Carles looked somewhat dejected. He had suspected many people about the poisoning incident.
He even suspected his own subordinates; after all, it's hard to guard against a traitor within the organization, and it's not impossible that there are spies within the Rose Society. But he suspected everyone.
No one ever doubted Chiag, after all, his character, behavior, work style, and relationship with Cares were all very good.
But now Cares has finally seen through the true nature of this hypocrite, Chiag, and the Cardinal Decree has given his verdict on Chiag's crimes.
"Therefore, according to the final verdict given by the Cardinal, Mr. Chiag is guilty."
