Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 346

Jane Diella left after introducing the situation. Before she left, she looked back expectantly, as if praying that he could find the innocence for his past friends so that he could atone for his sins.

Gongsun Ce felt that there was an extra responsibility on his shoulders, and it was more of annoyance than that.He understands why people think that way, and that's why he's angry.It was the same in the capital of the sky, there were always people spreading rumors that the eldest brother was trying to please the government, and that the eldest brother did all this to engage in his high-handed rule...

Fools always use their own prejudices and malice to speculate on those truly noble people!So when he was in Cangdu, he was an insolent Taoist, and the existence of deceitful Taoism would make those despicable people keep their mouths shut.But in Superbia, the upright knights have nothing to do with slander, and even some of the knights themselves think so.

It's fucking bad!Should good people be scolded?Should good people be pointed at guns? !

"A bunch of trash!"

Gongsun Ce cursed angrily, and was about to go to the coffee shop when he saw a familiar green hair inadvertently.He rushed forward in two or three steps, and shouted behind her: "Stop!"

Crookie threw back his head like an acrobat and blinked.

"Wow, you are so strong today. Are you so impatient this afternoon?"

"No kidding, I have something to ask you."

Crookie whistled: "Want to ask for information? No way!"

·
Gongsun Ce paid a steak as the price for prying the other party's mouth.Creekie was chewing on the medium-rare beef, with blood between her lips and teeth. She shook her red wine glass and asked, "Why don't you have some?"

"Forget it, I'm really not used to eating raw." Gongsun Ce curled his lips, "I lose my appetite just looking at it."

"Don't be so unprofessional, medium-rare is not the same as raw meat." Keriki wiped her mouth, put down the knife and fork, "For the sake of your treat, sister, I will reluctantly chat with you. I want to ask What is it, boy?"

Anyway, don't ask your measurements.

"A few quick questions. First, is the old idiot always late?"

"Did you ask girls out alone just to talk about the old man..." Creekie covered his face, "Yes, he is often late. You know how bad the old man is, he is the kind of guy who is late and you should be late A damn double standard. He can even be late for a meeting with Her Majesty the Queen."

It is in line with my understanding of him. This is something that Luo Ninglusi can do.

"Then, it's the same on the day when the holy fire armor was damaged?"

Crookie scratched his face: "That's not true. The old man was late for armor repairs a few times ago, which annoyed Dawn Knight, so she said very seriously that time, please come to the scene a few minutes earlier. You know The Rider of the Dawn is more terrifying than the real one, so it was rare for the old man to be ready to go there on time that morning."

"But he's still late? What's the matter?"

"This...who knows..."

Crookie turned his head with a smirk, his eyes drifting away.Gongsun Ce slapped the table intimidatingly: "Tell the truth!"

"I'm recruiting." Miss Apprentice raised her hands, "Actually, I was late when I delivered the documents to him that morning. I was doing the paperwork for him to enter the secret room."

"Okay, it's your kid!"

Gongsun Ce looked at the other party suspiciously, and Ke Liji on the other side of the table waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't! The whole train of apprentices was late that morning. You can't doubt me alone."

Are you sorcerer apprentices still clocking in to get on the bus? It sounds like a breath of life.

"why?"

"It just happened to be in time for the royal carriage to go out for traffic control, and the main road was blocked." Keriki shrugged, "I jumped out of the window to deliver documents and ran to the museum, but I was still scolded by the old man, I am wronged. "

It's a little late to walk on the road that can only be punctual when driving normally, and you have enough physical strength.Sure enough, what is your real identity? The World-Creating Law Envoy is directly under the special agent...

"The royal carriage trip... and it happened to be that morning..."

Gongsun Ce gradually had an idea, he thought he wanted to understand the cause and effect of the matter.There is only one last confirmation. If the guess is true, then the Dawn Knight is really helpless.

"Mnemosyne Records, does this thing have a control center or something?"

Keliji stared alertly: "Why are you asking this? This confidential information will not be leaked out, so figure it out by yourself."

"But you've got so much involved, you still talk about secrets with me." Gongsun Ce shook his finger, "After all, it's a kingdom, and important things must be held in the palm of your hand to be at ease. The core of the entire intelligence control system is inside the palace. the clock tower of the

Crookie crossed her index fingers and made an "X" to her lips.

"I do not express any opinion on this whimsical conjecture."

"It's done, it's none of your business." Gongsun Ce smiled triumphantly, "I'm going back."

"Hey hey hey, don't rush away." Krikey grabbed his sleeve, "Why are you asking about these things all of a sudden? You want to investigate the case of the flame armor?"

Gongsun Ce said angrily: "I just can't see her taking such a big blame!"

Creeky responded in a long voice: "So you want to help her... But frankly, I don't think it makes any sense."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was sympathy in Keriki's eyes.

"Don't be so quick to deny it. You think, you are a small character like me, right? If life were a drama, we would be the little people at the bottom of the cast list. The big people have more strength and wisdom than us, and they all If there is a problem that cannot be solved, there is no way to replace you.”

"You think I can't do anything?"

"I'm talking about meaning. Does she really need your help?" Creeky drew a question mark in the air, "Jane also said that she wanted to help the Dawn Knight before, but she didn't mention it before she knew it. This matter... because she gradually realized that the knight never needed her help."

"Unfortunately, I am not like Jane Diella. See you next time!"

Keliji stared at his back, slowly chewing a piece of bloody beef, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I hope so."

Gongsun Ce left confidently. He walked back to the coffee shop along the same road, where the Knight of Dawn was still sitting and reading.He sat back at the table and couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, Miss Elandia. I have a question for you... What did you see in the secret room on the day the holy flame armor was destroyed?"

Elandia was slightly confused at first, but then understood something.She closed the book and said seriously: "This is not a question you should explore, Mr. Gongsun."

"It's okay if you don't answer, your attitude tells the truth." Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, "I have fully understood the ins and outs of this case!"

Gongsun Ce said with joy and a little bit of complacency.He thought to himself that there are some things that only he, an outsider, can say, and Elandia must keep silent.It was this advantage that allowed him to win a round against the Dawn Knight...

He can always play a role!

·
At 07:30 at night, Orianna's house.The four of them gathered in the living room after dinner, and Gongsun Ce was standing by the fireplace, talking about the results of his investigation today.

"...The above is the general process of this case. May I ask what you think?"

The Dawn Knight said nothing.Orianna's face was covered with a haze, and Mo Yuankai was the first to speak: "I don't mean any harm, but no matter how you look at it, it's the Dawn Knight who committed the crime..."

Orianna stared angrily, and he quickly said the second half of the sentence: "So this must be a premeditated frame!"

"We have discussed it many times." Orianna said annoyedly, "No star knight really thinks that this is Elandia's actions, but the problem is that if this is a frame-up, then the prisoner's plan will be It's too unstable."

Mo Yuankai was confused: "Why is it unstable?"

"You think, people's actions at the time of the incident were full of coincidences. If there hadn't been that traffic jam, His Excellency Roninglus would have arrived a few minutes earlier than Knight Elandia. And if they entered the secret room together—or His Excellency entered the chamber first—the prisoner's plan completely failed."

"How do you know?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"He must have faked the Dawn Knight's attack! And if the armor is damaged, and everyone who rushed to the scene found that the person who was there was the mage, wouldn't this incident be a complete failure?" Orianna said, " After all, Your Excellency doesn't even know a little bit of swordsmanship."

Gongsun Ce applauded loudly, and exclaimed, "God Orianna, you really surprised me. Your performance today far exceeds your usual IQ!"

"It's nothing good..." Orianna puffed out her chest proudly, and realized something was wrong halfway through the speech, "What does my usual IQ mean?! How do you usually think of me?!"

Gongsun Ce hurriedly hid behind his eldest brother: "Let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, Orianna pointed out a point worth paying attention to, that is, the order in which the old idiot and the dawn knight came to the scene. If the old idiot is not late, then this will be framed The plan collapsed, obviously the prisoner could not allow this kind of thing to happen, so he deliberately caused an incident to delay the time when Luo Ninglusi came to the scene..."

Gongsun Ce looked at the Dawn Knight for confirmation, but the silver-haired woman remained silent.He regarded it as the acquiescence of his own reasoning, and felt more confident: "Let's think about it in chronological order. When the incident happened, the Dawn Knight pushed the door open, and then took strange actions. She blocked it with impermanence." Headquarters, and asked Jane Diella to go to find Roninglus. Please note that at this time, the knight Elandia had already discovered that something was wrong, but she did not speak out about her discovery... just as she still insisted on silence."

Mo Yuankai glanced at the silent Dawn Knight, and asked, "Why, Ce?"

Gongsun Ce knocked his hands: "Because the prisoner has just destroyed the armor at this time, he is escaping from the secret room by some means. The reason why Dawn Knight sealed off the headquarters at the first time is to prevent the prisoner from escaping, and she is silent because she has discovered the prisoner's identity." The real body. That identity is so shocking that the knight Elandia can't say it!"

Orianna said dazedly, "Who do you want to blame?"

"Leave me for a while~"

Mo Yuankai became more and more dizzy: "But everyone didn't find the prisoner? The headquarters is sealed off, and the Dawn Knight is standing at the door. Where did the prisoner escape from..."

"Think about where we are. This is Superbia, and under our feet is another royal capital."

Gongsun Ce pointed to the ground with confidence: "The prisoner sneaked into Shadow Mist City immediately after being discovered, and the Knight of Dawn went to follow up after sealing the scene. But she failed to catch up with the premeditated World Creation Envoy In desperation, she returned to the secret room in a fighting state, and the scene Orianna saw just happened."

"But...but..." Orianna stammered, "We all saw the sword light! The armor was only..."

Gongsun Ce shook his fingers: "You just saw the sword light and the damaged armor, didn't you? It's easy to achieve this effect."

He picked up an orange from the fruit plate, peeled off a piece of peel with telekinetic power, and then covered the peel on top.

"The prisoner destroyed the armor in advance, and then disguised it as a good one. You only need to remove the disguise at the right time...Brother, light up."

Mo Yuankai rubbed out something the size of a grain of rice.Gongsun Ce hid the "rice grains" in the orange peel, and then lifted the peel, and the rice grains exploded immediately, emitting a bright light.

"Of course, the method used by the World Creation Method must be more sophisticated, but the principle should be similar to this: a simple trigger trap, and the effect just broken is completed like this!"

Orianna covered her mouth with one hand, "Why didn't I think of that" was written all over her face, and Mo Yuankai nodded appreciatively.Gongsun Ce got up and looked at the silent silver-haired woman, his words were full of complacency: "What do you think, Knight Elandia?"

Elandia spoke for the first time: "I agree with this inference about the armor."

"Great!"

"Then I wonder if you have any guesses about the identity of the prisoner?"

"It's easy." Gongsun Ce tapped his forehead with his fingers, "Think about the characteristics of this prisoner! He is well-informed and can keep track of the progress of your maintenance work; he has good hands and eyes, not only can easily cause a traffic jam, but also modify it. According to Mnemoshine's records; he is a celestial envoy, and he has the ability to enter the secret room - when the information is collected, the identity of the prisoner is almost revealed!"

There are three keys to the Chamber of Secrets, which are kept in the hands of the head of the group, the mage and the queen respectively; the recording center is located inside the palace; the traffic jam is caused by the royal carriage... Will there be any other answers?

Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "The prisoner is Her Majesty the Queen of Morton Kingdom, Albion Anne Morton!"

The anticipation on Orianna's face didn't dissipate before she stood up. She reprimanded angrily: "Mr. Gongsun, I ask you to take back this shameful slander immediately! How could Her Majesty the Queen do such a bizarre thing!"

Gongsun Ce spread his hands, and said excitedly: "There are as many reasons as you want! Due to the great purge of the Dawn Knight four years ago, the royal faction had already formed a dispute with her; when the seats in the parliament were changed, if a normal duel She is likely to become the new head; the glazed disaster is coming soon, and the kingdom needs new combat power.

At this time, an incident of framing and framing is killing three birds with one stone.The Queen can take this opportunity to limit the power of the Knights of Dawn, suppress the power of the Knights, and logically ask her elder brother to come to Superbia.She accomplished all her goals effortlessly! "

Orianna blushed with anger: "This...you are trying to speculate on Her Majesty the Queen with despicable thoughts! I cannot admit your reasoning!"

"Don't be in a hurry, okay? I believe the Dawn Knight has more right to speak than me... because she was the one who really witnessed the scene."

Everyone in the room looked at the Dawn Knight.Gongsun Ce swallowed, suppressed his nervousness, and asked, "Knight Elandia, can you please tell me now. What exactly did you see in the secret room at that time?"

Elandia, who was a knight, could not blame the queen.As a detective, she cannot make such unfounded inferences.As a result, this clumsy woman had no choice but to deal with the deliberate slander in silence.

But now, the situation is different.Gongsun Ce, who is not a citizen of the kingdom, can reason without burden.As long as all the inferences are completed and she is affirmed as a witness, the matter can come to an end.

Hope this conjecture is correct.

Hope today's investigation was not in vain.

I hope that with his efforts, the Rider of Dawn can tell the unspeakable secret...

He stared nervously at the knight until her lips parted.

"I saw Her Majesty the Queen."

"—Ah!!"

Gongsun Ce jumped up excitedly. He swaggered at the shocked Orianna, walked up to the Dawn Knight, and asked with a sense of satisfaction and pride, "Am I right, Miss Elandia?"

He expected the knight to smile at him, to praise his mind, to praise his courage in bringing his speculations to the surface.

However, Elandia did not smile.

She still looked at him in the usual way, her gray pupils were as deep as a lake, with mechanical calmness.

Gongsun Strategy felt uneasy, and repeated: "...Miss Elandia?"

"This does not mean that the culprit is Her Majesty. It is because I have vetoed this speculation that I have not spoken about it. At this stage it will only cause unnecessary quarrels, and will not help resolve the matter."

...?
No benefit?

what are you talking about.The facts are in front of us.You... what are you still doubting?
Gongsun Ce felt a little anxious: "No. Hey. I don't understand..."

Elandia's response took on a teaching tone: "As I have told you many times, Mr. Gongsun. We can make countless reasonable speculations, but we can only find one correct reasoning.

Your speculation is very reasonable, but there are still omissions.I would like to ask you to explain a question: If the prisoner is really Her Majesty, why does she wait for my arrival? "

"To...to ensure that the trap is activated at the best time! This way she can..."

The Dawn Knight began to ask: "What if she was discovered by others in advance? What if I caught up with her? If Your Excellency Luo Ninglusi came early and entered the door with me, how will Her Majesty the Queen deal with these accidents?"

Gongsun Ce couldn't answer.He realized that there was a problem with the logical chain, and this modus operandi was too risky.He couldn't think of a reason for the prisoner to stay alone in the secret room even if he took the risk. Even if he wanted the Dawn Knight to leave again, there should be a better way to solve the problem.

"Maybe she has some secret technique..." Gongsun Ce whispered, "A hole card that even you don't know..."

The Dawn Knight asked another question: "I think you should have investigated Her Majesty's information and learned that her sword skills are ordinary. Then how did she forge my attack?"

"This……"

Gongsun Ce panicked because he didn't do a detailed investigation.He hesitated and said: "Maybe she has been hiding her strength for so many years..."

"Once again, you made an unfounded speculation. With this line of thinking, you can explain anyone as the murderer." Elandia said, "The motive for committing the crime is too bold, even bizarre. The ruler spared no effort to suppress the subordinates. The great treasure of a country, the disparity between its risks and rewards is enough to discourage any reasonable person."

Gongsun Ce tried to argue: "In this way, we can take this opportunity to call eldest brother..."

"Before Mr. Mo Yuankai arrived, no one was sure that he had the power to repair armor. You are using what happened in the future as the basis for past cases, which is very dangerous."

Gongsun Ce fell silent, and sat back on the sofa in silence.Elandia was still pointing out the problem: "In the end, you made a fundamental mistake. If you verified the speculation, you would find that Her Majesty has a conclusive alibi - she was accepting the Prime Minister's alibi that morning. The audience of the knight McCollough, the whole palace can testify to them."

Eyewitness evidence is useless.

In this way, there is really no need for Elandia to tell the information.

The Queen is clearly not the real prisoner.Even if he claimed to have seen the Queen commit the crime, who would believe it?What's the use of it other than to muddy the water?

"..."

Well, all wrong.

So fucking self-righteous, like an idiot.

All this you have noticed, the Knight of Dawn has long thought of it.

Gongsun Ce tried to make the last point of resistance to make himself look decent: "Okay, I guessed wrong. It seems that I am still not as smart as you..."

But Elandia does not intend to end, and Elandia is still saying her comment: "The root of the mistake is not in ability, but in attitude. Preconceived positions will hinder your judgment. This is worthy of vigilance."

Gongsun Ce wiped his face, put down his hands, and whispered as if begging for mercy: "I did this for your sake, do you understand?"

"And that doesn't help in finding the truth," Elandia pointed out.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became tense, as if there was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke floating in the air, with a sense of instability.Both Mo Yuankai and Orianna planned to say something to smooth things over, but the two in the center of the debate did not intend to let it go.Dawn Knight was still serious and serious, and his deceitful words appeared embarrassing and anxious.

Lost and annoyed quietly burning, Gongsun Ce started to sneer unknowingly, and he said provocatively: "It seems that I shouldn't think you are innocent."

"When solving the problem, yes." Elandia nodded, "If you really want to find out the truth, the first thing you should do is to interrogate me, the biggest suspect, and find out as much as possible about the case. intelligence. That's what I've been teaching you, observation, and calm."

"Ah...that's amazing. Great detective." Gongsun Ce raised his legs and said with a gun and stick, "I really should learn from you, shouldn't I? Tell everyone, what's earth-shattering about you Reasoning to explain this rotten case!"

"Keep calm, gratuitous anger makes you mentally weak."

"I'm so angry, what's the matter?" Gongsun Ce growled, "Do you expect me to be as stern as you every day? I'm sorry, I'm not a machine, I can't do it! Please teach me your famous reasoning, no idea Just stop there and teach me with airs!"

Elandia put her hand on the armrest of the seat, and said in her usual tone: "The prisoner is an unknown orthodox Genesis Envoy. He or she can freely enter and exit Shadow Mist City, and has extremely strong hallucinations and imitations. Ability, and high level of swordsmanship. He sneaked into the secret room during the previous regular inspection - or forged the key of the secret room - and then destroyed the armor in the way you previously speculated.

The prisoner stayed indoors waiting for my arrival because his hallucination ability needs a certain distance or medium to work.The prisoner needs to ensure that his trap can hide from my detection, so he has to risk himself. "

"A prisoner in the air that doesn't exist! An invisible figure that will never be found!" Gongsun Ce laughed loudly, "It's so convincing. He can be invisible and see all kinds of restrictions as nothing. Universal solution. In the future, whenever something unexplainable happens, we can use the existence of this person to explain it!"

Elandia crossed her fingers and said: "This is not reasoning, it's just my speculation, because I don't have any evidence to prove the existence of this person. I also think this speculation is too whimsical, so I only mention it to a small number of people. If If you have new ideas, welcome to discuss with me.”

He wanted to continue to refute, he wanted to laugh loudly, he wanted to say that the other party had a false name, and he wanted to say that she was extremely incompetent.But at this moment, he remembered that he originally wanted to help her get rid of her grievances, but he couldn't do anything.

Explore?What else is there to discuss?

Everything he said was already thought of by the other party.He wishful thinking that he can do some great things, but actually because of his own fault, he became angry here and yelled at innocent people.

Like a ridiculous clown.

"It makes sense," Gongsun Ce said.

The balloon propped up by vanity was punctured by a needle.He suddenly felt tired, exhausted.I don't have so much energy to keep my face up.He just didn't want to admit his mistakes, didn't want to admit that he was doing useless work.Don't want to admit reality.

"Maybe that's the case. I have nothing to say... I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to rest first."

He lowered his head and didn't look at everyone's expressions.He hurried upstairs as if fleeing.

He is a little uncomfortable.Because the truth is like Criki said, there's really not much he can do with a small character like him.

The Dawn Knights never needed his help either.
