Genshin Impact: I am the law of nature, not your wife!

Chapter 174 It’s Coming Soon

Will people dissolve into water?

When Ye Yu said this, Funina was the one who laughed the loudest.

“Pfft…hahahahahaha——”

Holding her stomach, Funina laughed until she was out of breath.

"My dear opponent, I sincerely hope you realize how absurd your words are. How can a person dissolve into water?"

The audience also laughed so hard that they couldn't stop, as if they were not witnessing a trial but watching a comedy.

"Why not? Don't forget that prophecy that's so widely circulated and known to everyone in Fontaine..."

"[Eventually, everyone will dissolve into the sea, leaving only the Water God weeping on his throne...]"

Ye Yu's words made Funina's laughter stop abruptly, and even her smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"are you serious?"

"Ms. Funina, do I need to lie in court?" Ye Yu spread his hands helplessly.

Since Yeyu's request was reasonable, Villette asked the security team to investigate Cowell's luggage.

Ye Yu repeatedly reminded that the people of Fontaineland should not touch the pink-purple liquid directly!

Soon, the investigation came to fruition.

As Ye Yu said, the security team did find several test tubes filled with pink and purple liquid in Cowell's luggage, one of which was already empty.

There's also a label on it that says "Opicelle Opera House" and the date.

There was also a notebook in the luggage for taking notes.

The notes record that the name of the pink-purple liquid is "Original Fetal Sea Water", and the keyword "dissolve" and the safe use of fetal sea water are mentioned many times.

Also, this [Dissolution] is only effective against Fontaine people.

The notes also mentioned that Cowell was actually from an organization that sold illegal drugs and had accomplices who collaborated in the crime.

The investigation into Cowell's luggage is still ongoing, and this is all the information available at the moment.

The results of the investigation were exactly the same as what Ye Yu said.

The audience was shocked.

Furninna also frowned at this result, not knowing what she was thinking.

Navilette, who was sitting high on the judge's seat, was whispering the four words "primordial fetal sea", as if he knew something.

"Then, Mr. Supreme Judge, can the results of the investigation be regarded as evidence supporting my point of view?" Ye Yu asked.

"Okay." Navelette nodded.

"The viewpoint put forward by Miss Yeyu is well-supported by evidence. Ms. Funina, do you have any objection to Miss Yeyu's viewpoint?"

Although Funina remained silent on the surface, she was actually furious inside.

"It's over, it's over. I'm not really wrongly accusing a good guy, am I? As Linney's supporting actor, Cowell can indeed tamper with the props..."

"Also, the original fetal sea water was found in his bag..."

"This... As the God of Justice, yet he wrongly accuses good people? This is too shameful..."

In a hurry, Funina asked directly.

"Well, then, then, where did the missing Halsey go?"

"I know that the real Halsey has arrived at the opera house, and the missing one is the fake Halsey."

In other words, that's what Furninna said.

If the fake Halsey wasn't dissolved by the fetal water, where is she now? And why did she disappear?

"Don't be anxious, Ms. Funina. Please listen patiently as I explain the case in detail." Ye Yu displayed the aura of a Liyue storyteller.

The case was reconstructed from the perspectives of the fake Halsey and Cowell respectively.

First up is Cowell.

He used Linnie's identity as an assistant to carefully plan this stage accident, with the purpose of making Linnie bear the blame for the serial disappearance of girls.

Before the performance began, the number selector and the ropes hanging the water tank were tampered with in advance.

He ensures that the number selector will always choose "Halsey", and his modus operandi is related to the decoration inside the magic box in the center aisle of the auditorium.

"I wonder if the audience who were very close to the magic box in the center aisle still remember that the magic box was decorated with balloons of various colors, which was very warm."

"Linnie also said it was to ease the tension of the lucky audience."

Ye Yu's question made the audience who were closer to the magic box in the central aisle nod their heads, indicating that it was true.

The original water of the fetal sea at that time was hidden in those decorative balloons.

Since the magic box is a double-layer structure with a box within a box, the box containing the lucky audience member will slowly descend along the flatbed cart in the tunnel.

The pre-set iron hook will puncture the balloon, allowing the original fetal sea water to pour over Halsey's head.

Finally, after the water tank fell down, they used the water in the tank to cover up the water stains left after the dissolution of "Halsey" and successfully put the blame on Linney.

"This is Cowell's perspective on the crime. The evidence is the iron hook with balloon fragments still in it in the tunnel."

After Ye Yu finished speaking, he was immediately refuted by Funina.

"But how does this explain Cowell's final appearance in the stage magic box? It doesn't make sense at all."

"Don't worry, Ms. Finina, this problem can be explained from the perspective of fake Halsey." Ye Yu replied.

First, the fake Ms. Halsey steals the real Ms. Halsey's tickets to the show without anyone noticing.

She didn't expect that she would be chosen as the lucky audience member, but due to the atmosphere, she decided to cooperate with Linnie's magic show.

Just after she entered the magic box, she was inexplicably drenched in water.

"Let me ask you, if you were in a dark, enclosed environment and encountered the situation of 'water pouring down your head' that Linnie hadn't warned you about, would you panic?"

"And the muffled sound we heard after more than 20 seconds was caused by the fake Miss Halsey entering the tunnel and kicking open the closed door in panic." Ye Yu asked and answered himself.

Cowell also realized something was wrong because of the noise, so he went into the tunnel to check and happened to run into the fake Miss Halsey head-on.

Seeing that the fake Miss Halsey did not dissolve into water as expected, Cowell mistakenly thought that it would take time for the original fetal sea water to take effect, so he wanted to stuff the fake Miss Halsey back into the box.

But the reality is that the fake Miss Halsey is not from Fontaineland and will not be dissolved by the original fetal sea water.

After a fight, the fake Miss Halsey used her extraordinary skills to knock Cowell unconscious and stuffed him into the magic box.

She herself hid in a box where clothes were stored in the tunnel.

"Of course, the fake Miss Halsey is not in the box where the clothes are stored in the tunnel. We checked it when we entered the tunnel to investigate." Ye Yu spread his hands.

"Oh, so your conclusions about the fake Miss Halsey are all conjectures, and there's no actual evidence to support them." Finina crossed her arms.

"No, it will be there soon." Ye Yu looked at Ying and Paimeng who had returned from the audience...
