Chapter 759: It's over (typing on the company computer, feeling great)
Sena spoke firmly and seemingly unkindly, but in fact, what she wanted to express was very clear: as long as evidence is produced, even the nobles will not be able to convict them.
Darkness sighed slightly and said, “That is your justice.”
"Ms. Sena...!" Aqua was so moved that she was about to cry. She hugged the kingdom's prosecutor tightly.
Sena quickly and helplessly shook her head.
"But I haven't completely ruled you innocent."
That being said, I am actually grateful for giving them a chance to prove their innocence. After all, according to the rules of the Middle Ages, it is not strange to execute them without giving them a chance to explain.
"I say, what's the situation now?" Aqua asked idiotically, "So, all we need to do is provide evidence of innocence?"
“Ah, if there is evidence, the prosecutor will recognize us.” Darkness explained with a smile.
Aqua held her head and complained loudly, "But where is the evidence to prove that we didn't steal anything?"
“Oh, that’s right!” Huihui shouted as if she had just thought of something, “We were already in the mansion a few hours ago.”
"Can anyone prove this?"
"Well, no."
Hui Hui lowered her head in embarrassment. Because they had returned a few hours ago, there were no witnesses. If there were witnesses, it would be possible to explain it clearly.
I need a witness...
correct!
Darkness saw Xiaolin's expression and asked curiously, "Xiaolin, do you think you have thought of something?"
"That's right..."
Xiaolin covered his head.
"I say, what did you think of?" Aqua couldn't help but urge, "Xiaolin, stop dithering and tell me now!"
"…There is only one person in this world who can prove that we didn't steal."
"is that so?!"
Huihui looked surprised.
Aqua quickly asked, "Who is that person? Go and ask him to prove it! If he proves it, it will prove that we are innocent, right?"
"If you can do that, it won't be so hard. Because you don't know where the other person is, or even who that person is."
"what does it mean?"
"Ah, could it be!"
Unlike the stupid and foolish goddess, the smart little loli from the Crimson Demon clan already understood what Kobayashi wanted to express.
"Eh? Eh? What do you mean? Um, don't leave me alone. I don't understand. It's lonely!"
"What I mean is that the person who can prove our innocence is the real criminal who stole the clothes."
Kobayashi pushed away the stupid face of the stupid goddess that came closer.
"...Ah, that's right!" Aqua finally came to her senses. She suddenly realized, "Just catch the real criminal and make him confess!"
"Wait a minute, there is a possibility that the criminal is lying."
"Yes, yes, if he lies, wouldn't it be terrible? Think about it carefully!"
After being reminded by Darkness, the stupid goddess screamed in panic.
"That's not a problem." Xiaolin smiled confidently and said to the Kingdom Prosecutor beside him: "Right, Miss Sena."
"Yes, we have magic tools to detect lies."
Sena also laughed.
Even though the magic item was a bit weird, it was still able to tell the truth from the lies. It was more like the effect of the magic item was too strong, and ordinary people really had no way of fooling it.
Aqua clapped her hands as well.
"Yeah! If you have that, there won't be any problem!"
"Xiaolin, Aqua, Megumin, our target has been decided."
"Well, there is only one goal! To catch the real criminal!"
The companions became serious.
"This is a problem for our entire team. Let's work together to capture the criminal!"
"Oh, we must catch him!"
"Oh!" X4
The companions shouted. That's right, as long as there are five of them, they can definitely work together to catch the criminal... huh? ? ?
Kobayashi was startled when he saw another companion suddenly appear.
"Wow! Youyou, you're here!"
"Yes! I'm always here, don't erase my presence without permission!"
Yunyun shouted unwillingly. She seemed to have appeared in the living room at the beginning, but because of Aqua and Sena's incident, no one noticed her.
"Youyou's presence has become so low, it's really giving me a headache."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"that's right."
"----etc!"
After being told this by her companions, the girl immediately yelled in displeasure: "Please don't make it seem like it's my fault. It's you who ignored me, isn't it?!"
"Okay, don't be so angry. Don't we have something else to discuss?"
Xiaolin clapped his hands.
"Changing the subject?" Youyou hugged Xiaolin's arm and said excitedly: "Hey, Mr. Xiaolin, are you trying to change the subject? Let's talk about sense of existence. If this is the case, my sense of existence will become increasingly weak!"
"Okay, even though that's the case, how can we catch the criminal?"
"Ignore!?"
The girl shouted excitedly, but before she could get excited, she was broken by Huihui's words "I will remember you" and fell into self-generation.
Seeing this, Kobayashi shook his head helplessly and then went into the previous question.
"Although it probably won't be of any use, let me ask you, anyone who can guess the identity of the criminal, please raise your hand."
"Stare————" X4
All four of them looked at Xiaolin, and Xiaolin also looked at the four of them. There was silence in the living room and no one spoke.
"Well, that's to be expected."
Huihui shook her head helplessly.
Even Miss Sena couldn't stand it anymore and sighed, "Do you dare to say that you will definitely catch the criminal?"
"Attitude, demeanor and momentum are also very important!"
The Grand Duke of Hell who can see through everything may help, but it is unlikely to get the Grand Duke of Hell who can see through everything to help. That guy would like Xiaolin to get into huge trouble and then enjoy the sweet feeling of being persecuted.
"Hey, do you have any information?"
The person Aqua was questioning was Sena. She forgot that Miss Sena was the prosecutor of the kingdom. When an item was lost in a noble mansion, they were the first to appear at the crime scene. If they didn't find anything, how could they conclude that they were the ones who stole it?
"Just a little bit, just tell us a little bit, and then we will work hard on our own."
"Alas... there is really nothing I can do."
It seemed that she had no hope for Kobayashi and the others, or perhaps she felt sympathy for them because they were so miserable. After sighing deeply, Sena decided to reveal the information that the Kingdom Prosecutors must never share.
"Look, there really is information!"
"Can you really tell us? You have your own position too."
Darkness asked with concern. After all, this was a confidential matter. If outsiders knew about it, it might become a topic of criticism against Sena, so she had to consider the other party.
"Since you came here without permission, it doesn't matter if you reveal a little more information."
Sena shook her head. She chose to be a good person to the end. Xiaolin was so moved by her kindness that he immediately bent down.
"Thank you very much, it's a great help!"
The sacrifice made by the Kingdom Prosecutor was too great, and doing this might make her unhappy.
Sena shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and then continued, "You offered the clothes three days ago, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Then we started checking last night to make sure there were no problems with the clothes."
Sena's answer would not be surprising.
Aqua was surprised and asked, "What kind of problem do you want to check? Is the thread loose or something like that?"
"Nobles... well, the requirements are quite detailed, from all aspects... how should I put it?" Sena hesitated rarely. It wasn't because she felt guilty, but she didn't know how to express it or felt she didn't know how to say it, so she looked embarrassed.
She rarely has such an expression.
"Let me tell you."
Darkness took the initiative to pick up the conversation again. She seemed to know the identity of the noble, so she spoke in great detail.
"The noble who commissioned us to make clothes has a very strong obsession with clothes. In order to get what he wants, he doesn't care how much it costs. He may spend several times the original price to get what he wants."
"Are you willing to spend a lot of money?"
"But there are many things that money can't buy. What do you think he will do at this time?"
"Exploitation, huh?"
Kobayashi seemed to gradually understand what Sena and Darkness wanted to express, as if they were alluding to their current situation.
"correct."
Darkness did not hide it, but said, "Not only clothes, but also women, gems, and magic items that he likes, he will abuse his power to get them. He is no different from ordinary nobles."
“I see. That’s why we need to check, right?” Huihui understood the reason.
Sena nodded helplessly.
"Although I'm not doubting you, there are indeed many people who hate nobles. In the past, some people even cursed items that were forcibly taken away by nobles, hoping to kill the nobles."
curse……?
Kobayashi frowned. He seemed to have grasped some clues, but he could not connect them together, as if blocked by a thin film.
"Well, let's get to the point."
Sena spoke again and said, "The clothes were checked for safety. Last night, we checked whether there was anything harmful to the nobles on the clothes. The result was naturally that there was no problem with the clothes you made. Then, the clothes were handed over to the nobles a few hours ago. However, a problem occurred at that time."
"question?"
Kobayashi gradually became interested. He felt that the next part might be the highlight. Who knows, the nobleman who was obsessed with clothes might do something ridiculous like heavily guarding his clothes in order to protect them.
Then, the next moment this guess was confirmed.
"That noble didn't want to repeat the same mistake, so he even found strong mercenaries outside of Axel City to guard the mansion—"
"Did that guy really do that?"
"what?"
"No, it's okay."
Kobayashi covered his forehead, surprised at his own guess and shocked at the noble's actions.
Darkness continued to ask, "The mercenaries didn't arrive later?"
"That's right." Sena nodded and said, "It seems that a large number of monsters appeared on the way, and there was no way to fight them. Therefore, the mercenaries arrived at the mansion late, and the thieves took advantage of this time to break into the mansion and steal the clothes."
"A large number of monsters..."
“It’s like they were gathered together on purpose.”
"on purpose……"
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows. Since they were hired by the nobles, it meant that someone in the nobles' mansion might have known this information and lured a large number of monsters to the place where the mercenaries had to pass in advance.
"Then, several of the mercenaries claimed to have seen a magical light breaking through the sky before they encountered the monster."
"The magical light that breaks through the sky..."
"Then, there is another strange thing. The thief not only stole the clothes, but also stole the bubble wine. Moreover, he stole the most expensive one among several high-end bubble wines. Maybe the thief really likes bubble wine."
A very uneasy feeling...
Sena's testimony seemed to point to a certain person, and that person's appearance gradually became clear in Kobayashi's mind.
In order to make sure that he was not just imagining things, or just hoping for his blessing, Xiao Lin asked, "Um... is that bubble wine you just mentioned really that valuable?"
"I don't know the details, but it seems to be called the best of the best. The nobles went to great lengths to get it, so they even issued a wanted order to retrieve the bubble wine."
Sena's words made Xiaolin's expression more and more strange.
"Just to be on the safe side, let me check. You haven't seen this kind of bottle before, have you?"
She pulled out a wanted poster.
There is a pattern of bubble wine on it, and this pattern looks quite familiar!
"what!?"
Darkness screamed unconsciously.
Hey, hey, hey, is that really the case?
After getting the confirmation, Kobayashi was completely speechless.
Aqua's eyes rolled around randomly, then she hunched over and stood on tiptoe, trying to lighten her steps to make her presence less noticeable, trying to sneak away.
"Come back here."
Xiao Lin grabbed her whip and said viciously: "Do you think you are Youyou? Stop pretending, idiot!"
"Wait... what are you doing, Xiaolin!" Aqua screamed, "If you grab anything, your neck will be tightened! My hair, my beautiful hair will be pulled out!"
"Because you want to escape."
Kobayashi's low voice scared the stupid goddess and made her scream softly.
Sena felt strange and asked, "What's the problem?"
"No, nothing~" Xiaolin immediately smiled and asked, "Ms. Sena, do you have any other information?"
"So far, this is all the information I can share." Sena spread her hands helplessly and said, "If you don't want to be wronged, please prepare solid evidence. I will only fulfill my duties based on this information. Do you understand?"
"Yes! We understand!"
Kobayashi immediately answered respectfully, behaving like a well-behaved prisoner in jail.
