“Of course, an accident happened right in front of you. Who wouldn’t be shocked?”

Thinking of the horrific scene just now, Paimon was still a little frightened.

“Yes, even myself…” Linnie lowered his head in pain, “How could such a thing happen? Mr. Cowell is just like this…”

The water friends couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

“Linny looks so sad. It hurts so much. He was obviously framed, but now all the clues point to him.”

“Urgent call Yanfei and Xiaolu, I need help!”

“Teleport the little deer over from Inazuma!”

After a while, Linnie calmed down a little.

He asked Ying and Paimon seriously: “I was in front of everyone just now, and now we are talking in private. To be honest, do you think I will be the murderer?”

Ying replied without hesitation: “No.”

Although she had not been in contact with Linni for a long time, she still had an understanding of Linni’s character.

It’s almost impossible for him to do such a thing.

“Thank you, thank you very much for trusting me.”

After feeling grateful, Linny lowered his head and whispered softly: “In the eyes of others, I am the most suspected criminal, but in my opinion, the whole thing is full of mysteries, leaving only confusion.”

“I don’t know if the incident on stage was a pure accident, and I don’t know why Cowell was there.”

“There is no way of knowing why the chosen girl disappeared suddenly. If someone had done something to it, what method would it have been?”

“Even a person who fully understands magic can’t do it in one minute, right?”

Linni was filled with doubts.

As a great magician, this is true for him, let alone ordinary people.

But if these doubts are not resolved, he may not be able to clear his name.

For such a level of crime, even if Fontaine was not sentenced to death, he would have to stay in a dark prison for the rest of his life.

“I think it’s weird too.” Ying nodded and said, “But it happened.”

“This is the value of investigation!” Paimon said seriously: “As the book says, ‘The impossible cannot happen. If it happens, it must be possible’.”

Paimon took out detective glasses from somewhere and put them on his face. He also had a very realistic fake beard on his mouth, making him look like a great detective.

“Where did you conjure the glasses?”

Ying looked at her in surprise.

Paimon explained: “I bought it when we were shopping in the city and reading a book. I thought it looked cool!”

The water friends were also impressed by Paimon’s cuteness.

“Hahahaha, damn, this is so cute!”

“Why is she so cute!”

“If you open the interface during this period, you will find that Paimon’s modeling has also changed to this~”

“Detective, right? Grass God + Xiaolu + Brother Hai + Yanfei. How about a king-level lineup!”

Inside the Opera House.

Looking at Ying’s confused eyes, Paimon added another sentence.

“I saved Maura, but I didn’t spend the travel expenses secretly.”

“Quite cute.”

Looking at Paimon’s appearance, Linnette, who had been silent until now, began to praise him.

Paimon crossed his arms and smiled: “You know it very well, hehe.”

This small episode relieved the heavy atmosphere between the few people a lot.

Linni took a few deep breaths and nodded: “It makes sense. I shouldn’t be so depressed. I should get back to my usual state as soon as possible.”

“But now that the police are watching every move of Lynette and I, it will be even more difficult to clear the suspicion on our own…”

“Thanks for your willingness to be my agent, Ying, thank you very much. Now you are the only ones I can rely on.”

Linnette also said sincerely: “Please.”

Ying nodded and said: “Wrap it around me, I’m used to it.”

She has encountered a lot of troubles like this.

So she is still very confident about solving troubles.

Water friends were discussing in the barrage.

“At first, I was a little confused as to why Paimon was showing off in this atmosphere, but now I realize that she wanted to comfort Linny. She really made me cry to death~”

“The thing Paimon is best at is comforting people. It’s really heartwarming.”

“”I’m used to it” is so funny.”

At this time, Paimon suddenly thought of something, “Oh, by the way. Since we want to investigate, I have a question.”

She looked at Linnie and asked, “Linny, where was Linnette when you were performing?”

“Well, this involves the core secret of magic…”

Linney was a little hesitant. The reason why magic is exciting largely stems from the unknown.

If the audience knew the secret behind the magic, the magic would be lost.

Without the mysterious color, it will become ordinary.

Linnette reminded: “The secret of magic can no longer be kept, Linny.”

“That’s right.” Linni nodded, “If such a big thing happens, magic techniques will definitely be used as evidence in the trial.”

“Oh, what a pity.” Linnie sighed, looking dejected, “For magicians, magic performances are a kind of creation, and we have put in a lot of hard work.”

“However, if this secret can help you find the truth of the incident, it will be worth it.”

“To explain magic, we need to leave here. Let’s go communicate with the security team. You can go to the stage and the auditorium to investigate first.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Paimon said seriously: “While everyone here is not gone yet, the famous detective is finally going to go out!”

Seeing Paimon’s enthusiasm, the water friends also became a little excited.

“The search begins!”

“I am the famous steamed egg in the neighborhood, Paimon!”

“In the world of Teyvat, this magic is very novel. The first time I performed it, I was forced to expose the technique…”

“Looking at Linnie’s sad look, I feel even more sorry for him. It took a lot of effort to come up with the magic trick, but now the most important thing is to ensure victory.”

After separating from Linny, Ying and Paimon first found a security team member and wanted to inquire about the situation.

After hearing their request, guard member Esmond looked at Ying and Paimon carefully.

“So, you are the traveler in a foreign land that Lady Funina mentioned. But before I say anything ugly, you’d better not wade into this muddy water.”

“Huh? What does this mean?”

Paimon didn’t understand.

Esmond turned towards the stage where the accident had occurred and motioned for them to follow.

After arriving on the stage, Esmond said: “The deceased’s name is Cowell, and he was one of Linney’s assistant actors. Although he joined the show not long ago, he worked hard and everyone had a good impression of him.”

“The work of an assistant usually involves arranging and checking props, as well as cooperating with performances and stimulating the atmosphere on stage…”
