Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 30: The plot line was accelerated

After hearing Linny's answer, Paimon understood for a moment, then nodded his head and asked back:

"Is that why it takes a minute?"

"Yes, it takes about seventy-five seconds for the audience to count sixty seconds, and it only takes fifteen seconds for me to enter the box on the opposite side."

"So after jumping into the tunnel, I followed the ventilation duct to the underground of the opera house and went to the core to find out."

"That vent was modified during the construction of the underground passage for this step."

Hearing this, Ying fell into deep thought, and after a while she slowly raised her head.

"It's not about that, it's about what you know, what's in that room?"

Linnie shook his head regretfully.

"Nothing, because when I got to the room and was about to start investigating, I suddenly heard a voice."

"This is unbelievable. I am absolutely sure that I was the only one in the room at that time, and there was no possibility of anyone else being there."

"The voice seemed to recognize me and tried to talk to me, but... out of caution, I had to give up the investigation and return the way I came."

"When I came back, I saw the vase was broken and there were clothes on the ground, but I had very little time left to think about it."

"Then the murder happened, and everything else was just as you saw."

Hearing this, Ying raised another question.

"Why do you want to know the principle of the Oracle?"

In Ying's expectation, the people of Fontaine had already known about this kind of thing, so saying that "the Cardinal of the Oracle has self-awareness" is a normal meme like "people need to eat."

Normally, no one would take the initiative to explore "why do people need to eat", and the solution to this problem often comes along with other inventions and discoveries.

And this is the only remaining doubt about Ying now.

Hearing Ying's words, Lini continued without hesitation:

"Of course it's because of the prophecy. In order to deal with the 'prophecy crisis', we need to know all the secrets of this country."

"Only in this way, without information asymmetry, can we know how to save everyone."

"...These are the whole truth, I swear, I am not hiding anything anymore."

"It was not my intention that we would be in this situation where trust was lost."

"But again, it's up to you to decide. Even if you leave directly because you don't trust the Fatui, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hearing this, Ying fell into deep thought, then nodded slightly.

The moment Linnie mentioned the "prophecy crisis" just now, she thought of someone who had said something similar to her just yesterday.

——Fontaine’s regent, Chang Ming.

She didn't believe that the prophecy was groundless, and she also didn't believe that broken vases and water stains would appear in a tunnel out of nowhere.

These things seemed suspicious to her, so...

Ying looked up at the two people in front of her and said softly:

“I choose to believe the facts.”

"If it's you, the trial will go on as scheduled; if it's not you, I will help you get away with it."

Hearing this, Paimeng became excited. She looked at Ying beside her and shook her hand and said:

"Then it's decided. Now all we have to do is...refute the Water God's accusations so that we can find the truth in the upcoming trial."

In response, Ying shook her head gently and a confident smile appeared on her face.

"The key evidence is already there..."

"Eh?"

"The recess time is almost up, let's go back first."

"Okay... I think I know what you're talking about."

Paimon shook his little hand and said.

......

When Ying and the others returned to the judge's seat, Villette, who had been sitting upright on the chair, stood up and spoke slowly:

“Now that both parties are back in position, our trial will proceed.”

"Before the court adjourns, Mr. Linni believes that the new evidence presented by Ms. Funina is all true. Then please let Ms. Funina tell the truth of the case."

Hearing what Villette said, Finina nodded excitedly.

"I've waited so long, please listen carefully."

“At this stage, we will only reconstruct the entire incident from Linny’s perspective!”

Having said that, Funina cleared her throat, her expression became somewhat serious, and then she slowly spoke:

"First of all, Linney came into the tunnel just as the audience's countdown began."

"When the flatbed truck passed by, he opened the box and got entangled with Halsey, causing the muffled sound."

"He didn't realize the sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the opera house, so he deliberately said 'I didn't hear the sound' when he was questioned earlier."

"Finally, Linney knocked Halsey unconscious with a vase and then took off her coat to prevent her from being recognized."

"And just at this moment, Cowell heard some unusual movements in the tunnel, so he came down to check the situation and encountered Linnie who was committing a crime."

"Finally...Linnie knocked Cowell unconscious again and put him in a magic box. He then passed Halsey to his accomplice through the magic box in the audience, and then manipulated the mechanism to cause Cowell to die in an accident."

“And this is the full picture of the incident.”

After listening to Funina's speech, the opera house fell into a brief silence, followed by waves of cheers.

"As expected of Lady Finina, you are the god of justice! You easily saw through the Fatui's conspiracy!"

"Yes, yes! I happened to be at the magic show yesterday! Lady Funina's every word was brilliant, and she saw through all the schemes of the Fatui!"

Unconsciously, the audience's perception of Linney has changed from a "great magician" to an "unforgivable" fool.

Listening to the audience's resistance to him, Linny gently clenched his fist and turned his attention to Ying beside him.

"please."

Ying nodded gently upon hearing this. She raised her head and looked at Navelette standing on the high seat and said softly:

"Then Mr. Villette, before I begin my rebuttal... I would like to ask the Fontaine guards to search for the personal belongings of Cowell, the deceased."

"Of course, until the Fontaine guards return..."

"I will completely overturn what Ms. Funina called the facts."
