Chapter 107
Liyue Harbor.
Hall of the Dead.
Hu Tao was thoughtful.
"Zhongli, if you say.
Sumeru's clerk Alhaithham's speculation has a certain amount of reliability.
Lorenzo is not a strange thief mink, so who would be the real strange thief mink? "
Zhongli: "In terms of universal reason! In addition to Lorenzo, only Ms. Gama, who appeared to be on the victim's side, was Cesar's fiancée. "
"After all, the average friend doesn't know that Cesar is left-handed."
Hu Tao: "Gama? But has she been immersed in the grief of losing her lover? "
"Every day I go to the cemetery to mourn César, for ten years.
If she's the real Monster Thief Marten.
Then her disguise is too terrifying! "
Hu Tao can't imagine a murderer.
Every day is a memorial service at the graves of the victims.
This kind of perseverance is something that even many normal couples can't do.
Could it really be Garma?!
Hu Tao frowned.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Decade... For ten years, Jiama was the murderer.
So why does she insist on going to the cemetery every day?
Is it to comfort my guilty heart? "
The corners of Zhongli's mouth rose slightly.
Hu Tao is indeed very smart.
But there is still room for improvement in terms of human sophistication.
His experience can't be compared with his six-thousand-year-old rock god.
There are no wonders about the size of the world.
Especially the heart of a mortal.
Even the gods are hard to guess.
Anything outrageous happens, as long as the subject is human.
That's not surprising at all.
"Well, no normal person would believe in this logic.
But the human heart does not stand up to speculation.
Before Sumeru Clerk Alhaitham questioned it.
I feel the same way.
A real criminal can't be so upright.
Rather, it should be cunning.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to commit crimes all the time without being caught by the Fontaine garrison.
But based on Ms. Jiama's acting skills, I don't think most people will be able to, and they are willing to believe in this possibility.
Let's watch the video.
I think the inventory video will reveal everything in the end. "
Inventory video.
Jiama didn't expect Paimon to be curious about this.
I was stunned for a second.
She recalls the scene of her first encounter with Cesar.
"That's me walking down the streets of Fontaine.
I saw a personable magician performing seriously for the children.
César's superb magic tricks are also very popular with children.
It's not just kids, actually.
I, too, was attracted to Cesar.
Then.
I plucked up the courage to let him perform a magic trick specifically for me, and at first I was worried that he might refuse.
But what he didn't expect was that Cesar readily agreed. "
Paimon's eyes were full of anticipation, "Wow, what kind of magic trick captured Miss Gama's heart?" "
Jiama smiled slightly: "Maybe for magicians, it's not a difficult magic. "
Cesar snapped his fingers, and a flower magically landed on my head.
Speaking of which, it was the first time someone had sent me flowers. "
Paimon: "It's a romantic story. Miss Garma, at least now you can really breathe a sigh of relief, Lorenzo is on the table! "
Then.
Lynette spoke:
"That's right, you can breathe a sigh of relief, real monster thief mink!"
Paimon panicked, "Strange thief mink? Wasn't Lorenzo captured? "
Gama: "Strange thief... Marten? "
Linnet: "My brother said that there is no need to stay on stage for all the actors whose cards are exposed. "
"Miss Garma, it's been ten years, aren't you tired?"
Faced with Lynette's questioning.
Yingmei and Paimon look confused.
Paimon covered his head, "Lynette, what are you talking about?" What is not tired, has Ms. Garma done anything? "
Although I don't quite understand the conversation between Lynette and Gamma.
But she could clearly feel that the otherwise cheerful atmosphere had become serious.
Paimon winked frantically at Yingmei.
She knew that Yingmei's brain work should have understood what was going on.
Ying did think of something.
But she held back and didn't say it.
Instead, I want to see what Lynette said next.
Seeing that Gama remained silent.
Lynette didn't say anything more.
Then.
Linney, who was performing on stage, arrived at halftime.
The moderator, Robert Udan, took the stage to preside.
"We're about to go into a break.
After a short intermission.
Mr. Linney will perform the highlight of the day today.
But in the end, this magic trick needs to be done outside.
Therefore, please wait outside the opera house in an orderly manner. "
Lynette glanced back at Garma before getting up to leave.
"The strange thief marten is not suitable to appear in front of the public, am I right?
Everybody's leaving, and I think we can talk somewhere else, Ms. Gama. "
The atmosphere was once awkward.
Lynny walked over.
He smiled and said, "The atmosphere is a little delicate now, sorry, I ran out of magic props on stage, or I can perform a small magic trick to alleviate this embarrassment." "
"Still, maybe I can use an interesting story to get the hang of.
Paimon, do you want to hear it? "
Paimon doesn't care if Linny's story is interesting or not.
The most important thing is to feel please, please this strange atmosphere.
"My story started 10 years ago.
At that time, the strange thief mink was active in Fontaine.
And every time you make a move, you can successfully steal someone else's treasure.
No exceptions!
But the number of shots is increasing.
The reputation of the Strange Thief Marten is undoubtedly growing.
The garrison is also more concerned about this.
The increase in personnel, as well as the patrol of the robot of the security agency.
No matter how great the ability of the strange thief marten is.
With the input of so many people.
It was skyrocketing to the point where he wanted to commit the crime again.
Of course, the clever and witty monster thief mink will not be in a stalemate like this.
Thereupon.
He had an idea of a good way for the golden cicada to come out of its shell.
That is to create a false Monster Thief Marten to attract the attention of the Fontaine garrison.
Let the strange thief mink disappear from people's sight.
Since he is a famous thief.
The person who replaces is naturally the more famous and associated with the thief, and is the best candidate.
Soon, the real thief mink locked on the famous magician Cesar.
Magicians are good at deception.
This is similar to that of the Strange Thief.
It can be said that it is the perfect scapegoat.
Once the matter is revealed.
No one is going to question all this. "
Linnet: "Relying on his superb deception, the Strange Thief Marten also gained the trust of the great magician Cesar and managed to get close to him. "
After gaining César's trust, it was time to plan the "death plan".
Right in the preparatory stages of the plan.
The strange thief marten was surprised to find.
Cesar actually had an apprentice who was dissatisfied with his teacher.
It's a great condition.
Just make good use of this stunned young disciple.
He didn't even need to do it himself, so that Cesar could die in a magic show under the name of a strange thief mink.
Then, the strange thief mink began to guide Lorenzo subtly.
In the end, Lorenzo, who couldn't hold back, really attacked Cesar!
Everything went smoothly.
Lorenzo gets the magic diary of the great magician he wants.
And the strange thief marten was able to hide the stolen goods in Cesar's house as a matter of course. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) )
Everything was perfect. "
[Kaeya: Although neither Linny nor Lynette directly said that the strange thief marten was Garma in the inventory video, this description is no different from Ming's statement. 】
[Albedo: Obviously, the real Strange Thief is not Lorenzo, but Cesar's fiancée, Gama. 】
[Navia: So, in the end, Lorenzo still wants to help Gamma carry the crime. 】
[Yelan: Speaking of which, as long as Jiama herself doesn't admit it, there is no evidence to prove that she is a strange thief mink. None of this was done by her. 】
[Yanfei: The city is too deep!! 】
[Funina: It's as scary as the "bad woman", Clorinde, please run again, catch Gama, don't let her run. 】
in the video.
Garma didn't interrupt the story told by the siblings, Lynny and Lynette.
Until Lynette finished speaking. []
Jama spoke.
"You brothers and sisters are very good at making up wonderful stories.
After listening to this, I even believed that there was a hidden strange thief mink behind this.
But in your story, the finger behind the scenes is directed at me.
But I wondered, why do you think that?
Could it be that Lorenzo told you something before he was captured?
The two listened to his lies? "
Linney: "No, Lorenzo didn't say anything until the moment he was caught. "
"It's just my personal guess that I'd think so.
Many of his actions are not logical.
And easily admitted the fact that he was a strange thief mink.
The more I felt like he was hiding the truth. "
Garma continues to perform.
"Mr. Linney, your words make me sad.
Suspect me without evidence, this..."
Linney: "Magicians are best at inducing, and I think Miss Garma understands that. "
"You started spoofing everyone on the day of the incident.
You play the role of a good wife who firmly believes that her fiancé is not a prisoner.
Indeed, in doing so, every Fontaine person is very sympathetic to your plight.
It even feels like you have many good qualities.
Absolutely no one would associate it.
The real thief marten is a beautiful woman who weeps in front of a tombstone. "
Paimon's glasses widened like brass bells.
"So, Lorenzo didn't threaten Lady Garma at all?
It's all just the two of them acting together?
However, Lorenzo did not confess to Gama in the end.
generously admitted that he was a strange thief mink! "
Lynny smiled, "That's up to Ms. Garma to answer." "
At this point, Jama still did not admit her guilt.
"According to the story you made up, the answer is that Lorenzo can't clear it.
So there is no need for him to confess to the real monster thief mink.
In that case, your family can still be taken care of by the monster thief mink. "
[Diluc: It's a strange thief mink who is good at disguise, and Lynny and Lynette are still reluctant to let go when it comes to this.] 】
[Shikanoin Heizou: Kama's excuse is impeccable! ] 】
[Wendy: Hey! Fontaine's old case is more exciting than a novel to explore. 】
[Yae Miko: Future reasoning light novels can start with the strange case of Fontaine. 】
[Funina: Don't even think about it, "bad woman" I, Flucaros will not allow you to view our Fontaine dossier. 】
[Yae Miko: Isn't it Inquisitor Navillette who keeps the file? 】
[Navillette: If it is a normal category, it is possible to consult the file from me after going through the normal procedures. 】
[Funina: I'm! Shouldn't Villette, who is a "bad woman" and only wants to write light novels to earn Mora, should this utilitarian purpose be rejected to her? 】
[Yae Miko: How can you say utilitarian? And maybe after the wonderful ideas of the author of Yaedo, it is not necessary to provide the garrison with ideas to solve the case. 】
【Funina:(╯)╯┻┻】
[Na Villette: Yae Miko is just talking, but it is Funingna, you really break the defense directly, it's not necessary, it's really unnecessary! 】
[Arataki Itto: It's comfortable to watch you fight. 】
[Kujou Sara: Come with me, Arataki Kazuto, I just received a report that you smashed the bulletin board in Hanamizaka! 】
[Kuki Shinobu: Miss Sara, I can testify that the boss definitely didn't mean it, and he's already repairing it!] 】
[Kujou Sara: Well, for the sake of Miss Kuki Shinobu's face, I believe that Arataki Itto accidentally smashed the bulletin board. 】
[Arataki Itto: If there is a kind, come to Hanamizaka and Uncle Ben sumo! 】
[Funinga: Arataki Itto is simply a clown. 】
[Keqing: Every time the three of you pinch each other, the topic in the live broadcast room is seriously off, so let's focus on the inventory video. 】
in the picture.
Linny replied in the affirmative of Garma's answer.
"There's one thing I want to know why.
I've always wondered why that strange thief would choose something that others hold as a treasure.
Some of these things are also worthless.
Be a thief.
Taking such a big risk for something worthless is obviously a loss-making "sale".
So, Ms. Garma, can you help speculate? 623"
Garma did not refuse.
"It's just storytelling like you guys.
If you want me to say, then it means that the real monster thief marten should have a bad childhood.
Perhaps she is an orphan who spends her days in dark corners seeking survival.
Wandering alone, ridiculed.
You can only dig through broken steps in the trash can and piece together ugly rag dolls.
Even though this ragdoll is ugly.
But it was a ray of light in her life.
She may just be so easily satisfied.
But even such an ugly rag doll was snatched away.
Hiding in the corner and crying.
This is undoubtedly cruel for a child.
In the painful environment, the strange thief mink bred such a dark thought.
Therefore, the blame thief mink wants to take away all the good things of those people.
It's like they took everything away from them.
Only these things can make up for the void and pain of childhood.
That's my guess, what do you guys think? "
Lynny nodded.
"Thank you, Ms. Gama, for answering my questions."
Ying looked at Jiama seriously: "So the notice letter from three days ago was you?" "
Paimon: "Why did you suddenly send out a notice letter?" "
Paimon can't figure it out,
If Garma is the Blame Thief Mink.
She shouldn't want to be talked about again.
"Advance letter? What the Strange Thief Marten did ten years ago was to fade out of sight, do you think he could be stupid enough to do such a stupid thing? "
"It's clear that someone deliberately broke the peace.
Some of the devils who love magic fit this image very well.
Mr. Linney, I suppose you wrote that teaser letter, right? "
The corners of Linny's mouth rose slightly.
"It's you, Miss Garma.
No, it should be said that Miss Strange Thief Mink!
The reason why I chose to pretend to be a monster thief mink three days ago wrote that teaser letter.
It's because of this decade. ,
Lynette and I have looked into Cesar's affairs about the same.
So we want to help our teacher, Cesar, overturn the case.
Although we only Xi learned magic tricks from him for more than ten days.
But Liyue, the kingdom that walks with God, has such a saying.
A teacher for one day and a father for life!
Although Cesar's connection to us is not as deep.
But he is also our teacher no matter how he says.
He was obviously a kind and benevolent man.
But he forcibly turned his back on the blame and became an existence spurned by all Fontaine. ,
However, he wanted to reverse the image of Mr. Cesar.
You have to let the real monster thief marten appear. "
Garma: "That's it? "
Linney: "Of course it's not all, we're going to take away everything you hold dear to you the same way you took someone else's precious thing ten years ago. "
At this time.
Only then did Garma come to her senses.
Lynny and Lynette siblings in front of them.
It's a child who has studied with Cesar for a short period Xi of time.
back then.
Jiama found these two children unpleasant.
More than ten years have passed.
Lynny and Lynette have changed so much that they hadn't even been recognized until then.
"It's just a dozen days of teaching, and you have remembered it until now?"
