Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 140 The Trial (Part 2)

Everyone looked at Qiuhe and wondered what was going on, as he took out a bottle of unidentified liquid. But then, they saw Qiuhe pour the liquid onto the wooden handle.

He then took out a bottle of red liquid from his pocket and gently dripped it onto the pool of cephalomyelitis water. The water immediately turned blood red.

The audience gasped in surprise at the effect, but Qiuhe merely smiled mockingly and said, "Mr. Destellig..."

Please don't use your pig-like intelligence as an excuse for being an idiot. Just drop a couple of drops of blood-red dye on it.

"The effect of this blood is there, isn't it?" Destell became even more flustered upon seeing this. "No, no! This is all your own doing, what does it have to do with me!"

"What makes you so sure this thing can't be used as evidence?!" Qiuhe saw his struggling and the atmosphere in the room...

He knew the atmosphere was well-managed. "Destrick, this alone isn't enough to convict you. I'll ask you one last question."

"Where is your Eye of God?" Destroy hurriedly pulled out his Eye of God upon hearing this. "My Eye of God, isn't it right here?"

"Perfectly intact, a genuine Eye of God!" Qiuhe smiled mockingly and said, "Oh? Are you sure your Eye of God is real?"

"And not just some random fake Eye of God used to establish authority?" Destroy hurriedly retorted, "Nonsense! This is the Eye of God!"

"This is the genuine Fire Elemental God's Eye, the real deal!" Qiuhe replied, "Oh? Is that so? Why don't you demonstrate it for us?"

"No need for much effort, just snap your fingers, summon some sparks or something, show us your fire elemental skills!" Destroy said.

He stammered, unable to speak, "I, I, yes, yes! You must have switched my Eye of God! You kidnapped me!"

"Then he secretly switched my Eye of God, just to frame me!" Qiuhe burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Hahahaha, Mr. Destellig!"

What kind of clownish behavior is this? Can you see us? We're just a bunch of kids in their early teens, while you're not only an adult, but also have the eyes of God.

"If you truly possess the Eye of God, what right do we have to kidnap you?" Looking at Qiuhe's mocking face and sarcastic tone...

Destriker was so angry he was gritting his teeth, feeling like he might spit blood onto the ceiling at any moment.

Standing in the audience, Clarinde also spoke up, stating righteously, "I can testify that the Eye of God in Destroy's hand is fake."

The sound came from a little girl in the audience, which aroused everyone's curiosity, but Clorind did not continue speaking.

He simply stared intently at Vilette, who then spoke up, "If this young man can provide evidence for the prosecution, then please speak."

Seeing this, Clorind had no more reservations and spoke again:

"I've been investigating these contraband items by myself for the past few days, and I've eventually focused my investigation on these nobles."

Last night, when Navia and I went to the beach, I made an excuse to leave for a while, precisely because I had just learned that the beach was quite far away.

There was a villa where these nobles lived in seclusion, and when I arrived at that villa, I saw Destriker's figure, quite a distance away from the villa.

He was carrying many wind-up mechanisms, and without thinking much, I followed him. Soon after, we reached a cave, where a nobleman...

Surrounded by so many contraptions, they sneaked into a cave, and then took out a whole bunch of bottled things from the cave.

I immediately guessed it might be Les. I lay in ambush outside for a long time, and then I saw Destell emerge from the cave, seemingly bending down to look at something.

I rushed forward to make the arrest, but because of the clockwork mechanisms nearby, I ended up wrestling with them.

Destroy had many opportunities to strike, but he didn't. Just as I was about to approach Destroy after defeating a clockwork mechanism,

I then noticed he possessed a Fire Elemental Eye, and at that moment I sensed something was terribly wrong, but he didn't defend or attack.

All I could see in his eyes was terror. After knocking him down, I took his God's Eye. At the time, I thought that someone with the God's Eye was nothing special.

But now, looking at it this way, and thinking about it carefully, just like Leyi said, that Eye of God might really be fake.” Everyone present thought this.

Everyone was somewhat shocked, but also puzzled, whispering among themselves, "Lei? Who is that?" "I don't know, could it be some unfamiliar nobleman?"

"Who is this girl? She says she arrested a criminal, but wasn't this the guy those kids brought here?" Villette asked at this moment.

He glanced at Clorind and then asked, "You are... a descendant of the Candle Hunters?" Clorind nodded in acknowledgment.

Those who knew about the Candlelight Hunters were somewhat surprised, while those who didn't were curious, wondering what this so-called Candlelight Hunters were.

Navelette then asked again, "Then who is this Lei you mentioned?" Seeing this, Claurind pointed to Qiuhe in the plaintiff's seat.

Only then did those around realize that it was just one person with two names. Seeing this, Clay couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on, Le Yi? Why are the Water God and that Judge calling you Qiu He?" Qiu He smiled slightly and replied.

“Because my name before I joined the House of Hearthstone was Qiuhe, which is also my name in Mondstadt,” Clement asked, looking puzzled.

"Then why didn't you tell us?" Qiuhe then replied with a smile, "You didn't ask either." This left Kree speechless.

At this moment, the scales of judgment tipped in favor of Qiuhe once again. Seeing this, Qiuhe produced another photograph, saying, "Now the evidence is conclusive."

Then let me recount what happened that day, Mr. Destell. You conspired with someone who looks exactly like you.

Perhaps it was your twin brother, or perhaps just a stranger who looks a lot like you; I have no idea. You went to the Grey River on the day of the incident.

You conspired with the Fools to release Les into the groundwater, but a mysterious figure thwarted your plan, and you realized the plan was doomed.

They devised a plan to destroy the Grey River and eliminate evidence. However, the high concentration of seawater in the barrels caused the water pipes to burst, spilling seawater mixed with drinking water.

The people who hadn't left the bottom of the Gray River were all dissolved into liquid, while the person who looked exactly like you was responsible for providing your alibi outside.

The person who was dissolved became the unfortunate victim of your fabrication of evidence, and this photograph holds the truth that determines everything!

After saying this, Qiuhe had the photo in his hand passed to Navelette. The photo showed Destell holding hands with someone who looked very much like him.

Seeing this, Villette spoke up, "Mr. Destellig, do you have anything else to say?" Destell, seeing this, was utterly desperate.

"No, no, I didn't, I didn't, what happened at the bottom of the Grey River isn't..."

"No? What do you mean no? You mean you didn't do what happened at the bottom of the Gray River, but the person impersonating you did it?"

"And you're the one who created the alibi," Destell said, startled. He hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I didn't..."

"No? What do you mean, no? You mean you didn't create the alibi, but you did what happened under the Grey River?"

"No, no, it's my God's Eye."

"The Eye of God? What Eye of God? Are you saying your Eye of God is real? That you didn't kill anyone but saved them? Then show it to me!"

After Qiuhe's actions and sarcastic remarks, Destroy's defenses completely crumbled, and he knelt on the ground, bursting into tears.

Seeing this, Kree's reaction was unclear, but Akikawa noticed the slight sadness in Kree's eyes.

Then she gently took Kree's hand, and Kree looked at Qiuhe, while Qiuhe simply shook her head slightly at Kree.

Seeing this, Clayton remained silent. Villette, seeing that everything was already settled, then spoke up, saying, "So the truth is already like this..."

"Then, finally, the Cardinal of Judgment shall make the final judgment," and as soon as the final judgment was issued, Navelette picked it up.

He began, "Based on the decree and the Cardinal's ruling, Mr. Destriker is guilty!"
