Chapter 584: Evidence
Van Helsing glared at Richard and asked loudly: "Boy, you tell me the truth, what the hell is going on! Don't make up lies for me again, don't think that your lies can fool me, I'm not stupid!"
The wizards around frowned.
Van Helsing continued unnoticed: "Boy, just admit it, you are the spy. As for saying that Wan'an, Philip, and Orr are spies, they are all framed! Especially Orr, even if all the wizards in this gathering place are spies, he can't be a spy, I can trust his character!"
The wizards around him frowned again, even Eva frowned.
Van Helsing said again: "Boy, give up your disguise, I smell your identity, I know that you are not a good thing! Hurry up and admit your crime, I will let you die a happy death, or ......"
"That's enough, Wizard Van Helsing!" Eva reprimanded with extreme severity, "this is the Public Trial, if you have any objections, you can raise them, this is your right." But it's not right to allow you to speak in a threatening, misleading way, and to insult your companion at the same time, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Now, I'm giving you the first warning, and if you break it again, I'll just kick you out of the venue, you know!"
"I ......," Van Helsing looked angry, but was defeated by Eva's gaze, gritting his teeth, "Yes." After the words fell, he sat back on the chair, and with a "bang", the chair made an overwhelmed sound.
Eva then retracted her gaze, looked at Richard, and said in a loud voice: "Richard Austin, now we basically understand your situation, but I still have a few other questions for you, and you must answer them truthfully." β
"Yes. β
"So before the attack, did your teacher, that is, Master Guluo, say anything special to you......"
"Teacher, he ......"
Then Richard dealt with it easily, and the questions and answers continued.
After a while, Eva finished asking all the questions, looked at the rest of the wizards around her, and asked, "The rest of you, do you have any objections or questions you want to ask?"
No one answered, because all the questions that could be asked had been asked by Eva.
"In that case, well, let's end this conference first. Eva announced, looking at Richard with a slightly softened gaze, "And you, Richard Austin, need to continue to restrict your freedom until you are completely sure whether you are suspicious or not, I hope you will understand." β
"Understood. β
"Okay, see you next time, take him away. Eva said.
Immediately, the two wizards closest to Richard stood up and led Richard out of the hall and into a special, guarded building. The rest of the wizards in the hall began to disperse, and the wizard Fan Helsing had a face full of reluctance, but also left.
......
Eva walked last, and waited until everyone was almost gone, before she walked out the door, followed by the wizard to lift the wind.
Eva and Tifeng walked as they said to Tifeng, "Recently, you have been in charge of the security work of the gathering place, right?"
"Yes. Tifeng nodded.
"Well, be careful during this time. Keep an eye out for Wizard Van Helsing in particular and don't let him do something he shouldn't do. Eva said.
Tifeng's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Master Eva, do you mean that Wizard Van Helsing might do something to Richard who restricts his freedom? No, so many people are watching, how dare he? Although he is a little reckless, he is not so brainless, right?"
"It's hard to say. It's not that you don't know the relationship with Taor, the two of them are best friends. Orr is dead, there are no bones left, and he will not be sure if he loses his mind, as evidenced by his performance at today's meeting. To be honest, if he could really raise reasonable questions, I would support him, but he is clearly swayed by emotions and has to be on guard. So, increase the number of people to take care of Richard, and if Van Helsing has any malicious behavior, take him down immediately, and then report it to me. β
"Yes, I'll do it. β
"Well, that's good. β
At this time, the two men walked outside the door.
Glancing at the people around him, Tifeng's lips opened and closed, and he asked tentatively at Eva: "By the way, Master Eva, do you really think that Richard is innocent?"
"Why, weren't you the first to stand up to him, and now you're ready to go back on it?" said Eva.
"Master Eva, where did you go? Tifeng smiled, "I didn't stand up to protect Richard because I thought he was innocent. It's just that I don't think I've figured anything out, so I just kill people, and there is no other benefit than making things completely messy, so I stopped Van Helsing. β
"And now, do you think Richard Austin is innocent, or is it a disguise?"
"Thisβ" Ti Feng hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "To be honest, reason tells me that he is innocent, because no matter how you look at it, what he said is logical, and it can match Wan An's previous strange behavior." But in my heart, I felt that this matter seemed too obvious, and I always felt that something was wrong. β
"You're right. Eva said softly.
Tifeng's eyes widened violently, and he looked at Aiwa and said, "Could it be that Master Aiwa, you doubt ......?"
"I do doubt, I doubt Richard's identity and everything he says. Although we can't refute what he said at all, it is precisely because of this that we doubt it.
It's just that there is no point in simply doubting, we can't be swayed by the emotions in our hearts, otherwise you and I will become Van Helsing. In particular, there is an irrebuttable piece of evidence, so if there are no surprises, I can only declare Richard innocent. β
"Rebuttable evidence? what?" said Ti Feng, a little puzzled.
"Quite simply, that's the explosion itself. True, the explosion ruined the entire scene and destroyed most of the clues, but it was a clue in itself. You've already experienced the power of the explosion, and it can cause damage on that scale, even I can't do it, maybe a third-level wizard or even a more powerful existence can.
Wan An, Philip, and Orr will not have this ability, and Richard will not have it, otherwise what kind of spy would be able to conquer our entire gathering place. The only explanation is that only Master Guluo has this ability.
Yes, Master Gu Luo's strength is about the same as that of a first-level wizard because of her aging, but she is a third-level wizard after all, and no one knows how many hole cards she has. Therefore, if she can burst out with this kind of power, she can explain the past, and Richard must be innocent. β
Ti Feng had nothing to say, and he had to admit that this was indeed an irrefutable piece of evidence.
Eva then walked to the side, and the wind followed, and the two of them quickly moved away from the venue.
Not far away, in a heavily guarded wooden building, Richard sat in the middle of the room with a calm expression.
