Chapter 140: Adverse Evidence

Mochi's mind went blank until he heard Lotherma Theron say "take him down" that Mochi regained his thoughts.

"Your Majesty the Regent, Gareth can't be judged to be a murderer based on the magic he used at the end, maybe he just happened to practice it. There's a good chance that the real killer has already used teleportation, or used invisibility to get out of here. Mo Qi stepped forward and said.

"Are you ......" Lotherma narrowed her eyes at Mochi.

"I'm Mochi. I returned to Silvermoon City with Princess Anwena a few days ago. ”

"Oh, that 'Mochi'...... When I saw your eyes, I should have thought that you were more than just a fishman. Unexpectedly, your real identity is a human being. Lotherma looked Mochi up and down, and then left a very meaningful sentence—

"But it doesn't matter if you're a human...... Whether Gareth is innocent or not, we will naturally investigate clearly, and it is not up to you, a human being, to worry about it. ”

With that, Lotherma departed under the escort of the soldiers.

Moqi had no way to get close to Lotherma under the guard's warning gaze, and could only catch up with the Archmage Romans, who had bad legs and feet.

"Lord Romans, it is too arbitrary to conclude that Gareth is the murderer based on the last spell cast by his wand. There's a good chance that the caster has super strength and doesn't need a staff to cast spells—"

"Human boy, are you teaching me what magic is?" Romans interrupted Mochi in a cold tone.

Hearing Romans' answer, Moqi froze in place on the spot, and after Romans walked out of the door, he did not continue to entangle.

It's not that Mochi is jealous of Romans' power, but that he understands the overtones in Romans's words—what Mochi can think of, Romans has thought of a long time ago, and thinks more comprehensively. The reason why Romans used this method to identify the murderer shows that he is sure that this magic can only be performed with a wand.

Could it be that I really believe in the wrong person? Is it Mochi's wishful thinking that "Left Hand, Fireburst" and "Gareth-Firewing" are the same kind of people, when they are actually two people with diametrically opposed personalities? During the investigation of Biasrus, Mochi was also the first to inform Gareth of the information, and if the mole was him, it seemed that everything would make sense......

Is it really my fault?

Mo Qi froze in place, the more he thought about it, the more confused and lost he felt.

"Mr. Mochi, are you alright?" Anvina asked with concern.

Mochi shook his head habitually.

"And said it was fine. The loss in your heart is all on your face! "I'm not worried about Gareth, though. Because Mr. Mochi will definitely be able to find out the real culprit and return Gareth to innocence. ”

"But what if the murderer is him!"

As soon as he said this, Mo Qi felt as if he had been pricked by a needle somewhere in his heart.

Standing in the empty hallway, Mochi felt his shadow shake with his heart.

"Mr. Murch. You're such an idiot! ”

Mochi looked up and saw that Avena was smiling at her.

"This is the first time you met, you scolded me, and now I can finally return it to you."

Mochi shook his head, not understanding what Anvena meant.

"If Gareth had tried to harm me, he would have done it a long time ago. He's had countless opportunities along the way, hasn't he? Anvena said with a smile.

"yes!" Mo Qi suddenly realized. Looking back on the days when he was on the road with Gareth, Gareth did have countless hands-on opportunities.

He didn't even see through such a simple thing, what a dullness! He'd even suspect his friend with the others, damn it!

"Without further ado. Let's go down the hall and investigate, and maybe find new clues. ”

So, Mochi and Anvina returned to the ball hall and spent three hours turning the ball hall upside down, without finding any clues.

"The effect of the medicine is about to go. Mr. Moch, I have to go back to the palace. Avena said. She is a princess after all, and even if she changes back into her fish-man form, she can't be seen by others that she is not wearing clothes.

"Hmm. You go back first. Mochi nodded, continuing to check the integrity of the windows on the second floor of the hall.

"Mr. Mochi, you should go back and rest early. Actually, the matter should not be so serious, and my father also said that he would seriously investigate this matter. Mr. Mooch don't carry all the problems on your shoulders. Anvina persuaded.

"I'm afraid things aren't so rosy......" Mochi replied in a low tone.

"Huh? Is the current situation bad for Gareth? Isn't there only a wand as evidence? As long as Gareth insisted that the spell was the one he used when he practiced, there was no way for anyone else to prove that he was the murderer. Avena said.

"It's not that simple. Aside from the last spell unleashed by the staff, there is a lot of evidence that is now against Gareth. After inspecting the window, and checking that it was intact and that there were no footprints on the windowsill, Mochi further explained, "First of all, the magic that Gareth is good at is the fire magic......

Speaking of this, Avena also frowned, "Gareth only likes to use fire magic, this is something that many people know, and I have heard this comment from other people' Gareth's overall strength may not reach the level of a magister, but his understanding of fire magic is completely comparable to that of a magister." ’”

"And secondly, there's Gareth's testimony." Mochi took a few steps forward and checked the integrity of the window, confirming that there were no signs of damage to the lock.

Anvina nodded in agreement with Mochi, "I remember that Gareth only said that he didn't do it at the time, and compared to the testimony of others, Gareth's testimony is really not convincing. ”

"Then there is the location of Gareth at the time of the crime." Moqi then examined the ground to see if there were any traces of casting.

"According to the other infield guards, Gareth was patrolling the second floor at the time, and the area he was responsible for was the entrance to the hall and the corresponding corner, which was the blind spot for the guests on the first floor......" At this, Avena sighed for Gareth.

"Finally, it's his origin." As Mo Qi spoke, he looked at the metal stand of the giant crystal lamp, thinking about the possibility that a mage could hide invisibly on the lampstand.

"Origin? Gareth's father left Kael'thas for the Firewing at an early age, something that everyone in Silvermoon knows. Anvina defended Gareth.

"Leaving early? But that doesn't change the fact that his father once supported Kael'thas, and who knows if his father's departure was instructed by Kael'thas to leave? Maybe Toucheng is fake and undercover is real? Who can prove that after the death of Kael'thas, did his father secretly organize a party at night with his people to remember the king? Maybe you can search his house now, and maybe you'll find a portrait or two of Kael'thas in his father's collection, and how can you prove that the Gareth family who kept it didn't have the intention of rebelling? ”

Mochi's calm narration left Anvina speechless.

Anvina was desperate to find that the seemingly nonsensical statements in Mochi's mouth were so difficult to refute. These seemingly nonsensical claims are actually easily associated with investigators and are likely to be the motive for the crime in the eyes of investigators.

And what's worse is that even today, under the reign of Lotherma-Theron, things related to Kael'thas are easy to find in the homes of ordinary residents of Silvermoon City. In other words, if the investigators start with his family, it is very likely that Gareth and his father are both staunch supporters of the Sunseeker family, spies arranged by the old party to be at the regent's side.
