Chapter 64: Debate

With regard to the person to negotiate, the Dean had several requirements. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, each side can only choose five people.

Second, Daisy and Ista, who are the protagonists of public opinion, must be present.

Thirdly, no one on either side should use force during the negotiations, otherwise it will be considered an automatic defeat.

Fourth, only the 10 people participating in the negotiations have the right to speak, and if the rest of the people want to express their opinions, they must first give their opinions to the person who has the right to speak, and the person who has the right to speak will apply to the referee and only speak on the stage after obtaining permission.

Fifth, negotiations must take place in the Great Hall in the middle of the Academy.

About half an hour later, the parties to the negotiations arrived in the General Assembly Hall. In order to watch the negotiation, all the people in the academy gathered here. The dean prepared tables, chairs and a stage for the ten people participating in the negotiations, and let them sit on either side of the stage, and he and several vice presidents sat in the middle, and there were thirty mentors in charge of security on the stage.

Daisy and the four people who supported her sat on the left, all four of whom were ninth-grade girls and had participated in the persecution of Ista. Ista and her supporters sat on the right, and the four men were Maier, Ima, Bifuor, and Hein. The crowd under the stage followed the people on the stage to stand on the left and right, and in the middle were the leaders and faculty members of the college at all levels.

It is worth mentioning that the people of the Offet family and the people of the Namix family are suddenly on Daisy's side, while the people who were neutral before are on the side of Ista. This result surprised Bilford and Stranzie, but they did not change sides because of the family, so that they were regarded as traitors by the family.

As for the attitude of the family members, Bifull and Stranzie just smiled indifferently and didn't care at all. The status of the two in the family was not high, and if it weren't for the fact that they and Ima were friends, the elders in the family wouldn't even look at them more.

Beavor loved Milan, and the family would not approve of him marrying Milan. Stranzy is in love with Sata, and although Sata is a Lytin magician, she is also Stranzie's class tutor and is much older than Stranzie. If he marries Shata, he will be chewed and the family will be disgraced, so his situation is actually not much worse than that of Fuer.

Milan stood in the audience with Alice and others, as did Stranzie and Sata, who kept a delicate distance. Shata seemed to ignore Stranzy as usual, but if she looked closely, she saw that her gaze had been moving towards Stranzie, and she would force her gaze back when she was about to see Stranzie.

After the ten negotiators were seated, the dean wasted no time and directly announced the start of the negotiations. This negotiation is more of a debate than a negotiation. Everyone wants to use this debate to confirm the identity of the killer and bring the culprit to justice.

After the negotiations began, Daisy showed a very generous appearance and asked Ista to speak first. She did this because she didn't know how much information Meier and the others had, and it was likely that a flaw would be revealed if she attacked rashly.

After committing her second murder, Daisy has been in a state of high spirits. If it were normal times, she would not have such careful thinking at all. She is good at manipulating people's hearts by using other people's trust in her, and is not good at engaging in high-intensity confrontations with others head-on. But now, because of her high spirits, autosuggestion and other reasons, she has played at a super level, and she will not be killed by Maier and others.

Seeing that Daisy took the initiative to give up the right to speak, Maier felt that there was fraud in it, but Ima directly asked Hine to explain the information about the case he had to everyone one by one. Before the negotiations, the boys had already discussed and asked Hine to focus on the murder scene in Daisy's dormitory, because there was evidence that could indirectly prove that Daisy was the murderer - the burnt clothes.

While Hine was analyzing the case to everyone, Bifull suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he was in the dormitory, he had already listened to Hine analyze the case, and at that time he felt that Hine seemed to have ignored an important clue, but he didn't think what that clue was, so he could only think that he had thought too much.

Wrong...... Something really isn't right! We have overlooked one of the most important clues!

But what is that clue?

Bifuel frowned, unable to think of an answer.

After Hine finished analyzing the case, Daisy smiled disappreciably and asked indifferently.

"Hine? Sheriff Achrius meant to say that I was the murderer because I had a set of burnt clothes in my room, right? ”

This clue is not enough to prove that Daisy is the murderer, so Hine does not dare to nod, and can only truthfully say that Daisy is suspected of committing a crime.

"What you say makes sense, but it just makes sense." Daisy shrugged, "The door to the dormitory is unlocked, so everyone can come and go freely. If someone kills my roommate while I'm not at home, kills our maid, and finally finds a set of clothes from my closet and burns them, am I going to be a suspect for it? ”

"But there shouldn't be a second person besides you who can command you and your roommate's maid."

"Not necessarily." Daisy shook her head slightly, "My maids are very obedient, even to the point of giving me a headache. As long as someone of high status gives them orders, they will do it, and I can't even tell if they are my maids or everybody's maids. As for me and my roommate who have lived together since first grade, so has our maid. After all these years, her maid will definitely be influenced by my maid. ”

In the Academy of Magic, students visiting each other are likely to be absent from the dormitory if they do not notify each other in advance. At such times, the visitor may choose to wait in the house, and at this time, it is possible for the servants in the dormitory to follow the guest's arrangement. In other words, Dais's explanation makes sense. Knowing this, both Imma and Beafort poked Hein with their elbows, who wanted to continue talking, and sat him down.

After Hine sat down with a puzzled expression, Bifull stood up and continued the debate in Hine's place.

"Daisy? Miss Offitt, can you answer my question? ”

"Just ask."

"Where were you yesterday evening?"

"I'm taking a walk." Daisy replied, "Yesterday there was a lot going on, the army entered the academy, and there was another homicide in the park, which made me very uncomfortable, so I went out for a walk alone." I kept thinking about things as I walked, I just remember that I walked around the second dormitory for a while, then went out for a while, and then went to the market. ”

"The market? What do you do at the market? ”

"I don't know." Daisy smiled, "That's how girls walk, they go wherever they go." When I got to the market, it was already dark and all the shops were closed. The first time I saw a market like this, I couldn't help but go in and take a look. Later, when I got hungry, I went to the tavern on the east side of the second dormitory to eat and drink. I don't know what happened yesterday, I didn't drink much and felt dizzy, so I rested directly in the tavern room, and the tavern guy can prove it for me. ”

Daisy did rest in the tavern last night, and she did drink. Daisy felt that with her beauty, she would definitely be remembered by the folks in the tavern, so she said that.

Beavor applied to the dean for a witness to be called, and the dean, feeling that it would take a lot of time, agreed to his request. He sent a mentor to the tavern to find witnesses, and specially whispered to him to slow down. After about half an hour, the instructor who was in charge of going to the tavern to find witnesses returned with them.

The witness was just an ordinary tavern guy, who had never seen such a scene. Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, his legs went limp. Beavor asked him if he had seen Daisy last night, and there were not many guests in the tavern last night, and there was only one beautiful woman like Daisy, so the guy was very impressed with her, so he answered truthfully.

Before arriving at the tavern, Daisy had been acting alone. You can say that she was at the scene of the crime, or you can say that she was not at the scene of the crime. In the eyes of the audience and the referee, Daisy has no motive to commit the crime at all, and even if there is evidence against her, she has already given a reasonable explanation, so everyone feels more and more that Daisy is not a murderer, and Ista is a murderer.

Now Daisy has the upper hand, but she doesn't dare to take advantage of the victory. She was afraid that Ista would have an alibi, so that both of them would be ruled out of suspicion. But Daisy had already identified Ista as a murderer in front of everyone, and if Ista wasn't a murderer, everyone would start to doubt her.

The biggest loophole in Daisy's words is why she knows that Ista is a murderer. Since she knew, there had to be a reason, such as that she was one of the witnesses. But she had just said that she was not at the scene at the time of the crime, so it was impossible for her to know who the murderer was.

Earlier, she also said that she had discussed with the military and used herself as a bait to lure Ista out, but when the raiding party found Ista's traces, the military was sending people to protect Isttar. At present, the people who support her have not found these loopholes, and Maier and the others don't know what Daisy said, only that Ista has been framed as a murderer, so they don't notice these vulnerabilities at all.

So Daisy now has to worry not about Mel and them, but about the people who support her. She can't show even the slightest flaw, because if she does, everyone will lose trust in her, start thinking about what she has said, and find the loopholes in her words. In this way, regardless of whether she has a motive to kill or not, just because she blatantly framed her classmates, everyone will think that she is a murderer.

After the tavern guys were sent away, Beafort's attack failed. In this way, the Ista side has no means of attacking, because in their opinion, there is no doubt about Daisy anymore.

Maier glanced down the stage to see that most of the audience were looking at Ista with distrust. This means that the situation is already very unfavorable for her side, and if Daisy takes advantage of the victory, Ista will most likely not be able to turn over. But Daisy's pursuit was delayed, giving Mel hope.

She still doesn't attack in this situation, which means she doesn't have an offensive card at all, only a defensive card. If that's the case, we still have a chance!

Maier poked Bifol with his elbow and motioned for him to sit down, then he stood up and continued the debate in Befour's place. The first words he said when he spoke shocked everyone, including Daisy.

"I think Daisy? Senior Sister Ofit is indeed not suspicious. ”

He smiled at Daisy before turning to Ista, who was sitting next to her. In fact, Ima wanted Ista to sit next to her, but Ista insisted on sitting in the opposite direction, next to Myr.

When she learns that she has been framed as a murderer, she panics and doesn't know what to do. She desperately needed a space where she could feel at ease, and Mel's side was just that.

After hearing Myer's words, Ista turned her head to look at Mair in shock. She didn't think Mel would betray her, so she was just shocked and didn't panic.

"Ista? Levister, can I ask you a few questions? ”

When Daisy heard Myer's words, she immediately realized that he was retreating and wanted to clear Ista's suspicions. But she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only watch as Ista nodded obediently and let Mel ask his question.

"Where did you go yesterday, what were you doing, and can anyone prove it to you?"

Meier's actions lit up the eyes of the other three, and the low morale was immediately boosted. They knew that Ista had enough evidence to prove her innocence, and as long as Ista was innocent, then Daisy's lies would be self-defeating.

Ista gave a truthful account of her actions yesterday. Yesterday from morning to night, Ista had been with others, and had never acted alone, so it was impossible for her to have time to commit crimes. After Ista finished speaking, Maier petitioned the dean to have all the witnesses on stage for questioning.

Ista's witnesses were at the scene of the negotiation, and their testimony portrayed Ista's life yesterday for the audience and the referee, making the audience and the referee have to believe that Ista really did not have time to commit the crime yesterday.

In this way, Daisy's worst fears happened, and the people who supported her threw puzzled glances at her, wanting her to give everyone an explanation. Under the tremendous pressure, Daisy still maintained an indifferent smile on her face, and she looked at ease. However, at this time, her brain was already blank, and she had reached the point of being poor in donkey skills. (To be continued.) )
