On the morning of the 4th, the investigation team from Fengyunguan, the capital of Fenghuo Province, finally arrived.

At the gate of the city, a luxurious carriage drove in, and the animal being pulled was a top-notch pony from outside the desert pass. Dark clouds walked on the snow.

This kind of horse is completely black, with no hair except for the frost-white hooves. It is as fast as lightning, can travel thousands of miles in a day, and has an extremely stable body with little bumps when running. It is often equipped with top cavalry units and noble carriages.

The laurel flag and the capital flag of Fengyun Pass were hung on the top of the carriage, one high and one low, shining brightly under the golden sun. The carriage was wrapped in precious silk, and the curtains were covered by a thin layer of gauze.

The separation from the outside makes the people inside the car look vague and hazy, as if it is a metaphor for the nobility of not coexisting with mortals.

The dragon-like soldiers of Dusk City blocked the civilians on both sides of the street. The carriage drove without any hindrance. The passing residents nodded their heads after seeing the royal flag and the capital flag.

Occasionally, a few children stared at this carriage that only nobles could own, with innocent and longing eyes. However, their parents quickly pressed their heads down and lowered their heads together to show humility.

Kino and Lesakhar were already waiting here, and they went directly to greet the carriage when it stopped.

The curtain was opened, and three people were sitting inside. A gray-haired old man said: "Chief Administrator, you go to the trial court and wait first. We have to first inquire and collect evidence from the people and the city defense army, which may take a while.

time."

Resakhar leaned into Kino's ear and reminded in a low voice: "Bati Dogulland, a descendant of the royal family, a hereditary marquis, a provincial judge of Fengyun Pass, and in charge of all the courts in Fenghuo Province.

"

Kino nodded to Barty and said, "Master Barty, you are welcome to come."

Badi nodded in response and without saying anything else, he asked Lesakhar to get in the car and then motioned to the driver to set off.

When the curtain fell, for a moment, Kino felt the cold gaze of someone inside, whose breath was full of hostility and extremely unfriendly.

Four Fengyunguan officials began to collect evidence separately, visited civilian and military witnesses, and conducted on-site surveys of the explosion site.

The first person to finish collecting evidence was Lesakhar, who arrived at the trial center at noon. Batty and others were still investigating, so it should take some time.

While waiting, Kino and Resakhar chatted.

The compulsory courses for professional processors include "communication". In order to get closer to their goals, they often need to talk and win over many people, so communication skills are essential.

Idiots like those in the movies who put on a stern face and say very little, just saying "I am a bad guy" written on their faces, will most likely be eliminated during training.

Chino rarely attends communication classes, not because he doesn’t want to, but because he doesn’t need them.

He is a musical artist and performer with many "masks".

Compared with most emotionless processors, Chino has extremely rich external emotions. He is naturally good at talking and will put on different "masks" when dealing with different people. His communication skills are like most of his processor skills.

She is always number one in the organization, even better than Alice.

Her delicate and graceful face, amber eyes, and friendly smiling lips are extremely lethal to any gender. A casual smile will accumulate favorability in the other person's heart.

There is no way, good-looking people are so unpretentious when socializing.

Under Kino's guidance, Resakhar had a great conversation with him, and soon they started chatting.

While chatting, Kino discovered something very interesting. Although this dragon knight, who was over 2 meters tall, had a rough face, he loved music.

It just so happened that there was a musical instrument store opposite the trial court, and the invention of musical instruments in this world was relatively advanced, and there was already an instrument like a piano.

Anyway, waiting is just waiting, and since there is nothing to do, Chino simply gives Lesakhar some time.

After asking for permission from the shop owner, Kino sat in front of the public piano, and his long fingers began to dance like an elf, and the beautiful and ethereal melody filled the surroundings.

This is the first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", a level 6 piece. The soothing melody may seem easy, but it is not easy to play well.

The middle part of this movement is just a background. When playing, it should be emotionless. The center of gravity of the melody must be on the four or five fingers of the right hand. The intensity cannot be biased and must be precise. If you are not careful, there will be flaws. It needs to be very strong.

Finger independence.

Although there are music masters in this world, when Beethoven's music comes out, it is a dimensionality-reducing blow.

What's more, Chino himself is an artist who is proficient in piano. In his previous life, he passed the Emperor's Band 8 with a score of 148, and he can master any piece of music with ease.

There were more and more onlookers, and a few troubadours who were proficient in music became distracted. They closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the melodious music.

Under Kino's finger, the sound of the piano was filled with gentle sadness, but suddenly mixed with an indescribable magnificence, awakening the most lingering affection from the past, as if leaving the memory behind in time.

As the final sound of the piano settled, the surroundings were silent for a long time. No one spoke, as if they were afraid of breaking the silence.

Interestingly, this round of playing gave Kino more than 800 respect points, most of which came from Resakhar and the bards who knew music.

I don’t know how long it took, but it wasn’t until the afterglow slowly faded that Resakhar opened his eyes and asked absently: “I have never heard such beautiful music... Did you compose this?!”

Kino smiled and said: "Since I was very young, I have often met a musician in my dreams, listened religiously to the melody he played, and recorded it after waking up from the dream. So, I did not compose this

I am just a humble inheritor of the music."

Resakhar couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a miracle that such a thing exists! What is the name of this piece of music? Did the musician tell you his name?"

Kino: "The musician in the dream told me that this piece of music is called "Moonlight Sonata" and his name is Ludwig van Beethoven."

"By the gods, this Ludwig should be among the Nine Gods...Haha, speaking of it, you and he have the same middle name. This may be a wonderful fate." Reisakhar seemed to

Thinking of something, he smiled and said, "You and "Ninth Princess" also have the same middle names. Maybe I should introduce you to each other someday. She is also obsessed with music. You will definitely have a lot in common."

As soon as he finished speaking, a call came from the distance: "You two, please come over, we should start."

The two of them turned around and saw that Batty and others had finished collecting evidence.

Resakhar patted Kino on the shoulder and said deeply: "Get through this. When you come out, please teach me the score of this piece of music. I want to play it to my daughter."

Chino: "I'm extremely happy~"

The two entered the main court of the trial, surrounded by guards.

Chino stood in the dock, and the four people in charge of the trial sat on the stage. In addition to Batty and Resakhar, there was also a man with a goatee named Jashan, who was also an administrator.

The alchemist of the Qi family and the president of Fengyunguan Alchemy Association.

The last woman with deep nasolabial folds on her face must be Brooke's sister, Erin Troy.

Just as the accompanying soldiers of the investigation team were about to cuff Kino, Resakhar raised his hand to stop him: "Don't cuff him. This is an investigation, not a trial. Kino is still the administrator of Twilight City, and there should be someone corresponding to his status."

Treatment. What do you think, Lord Barty?"

Batty nodded to the soldiers, who nodded and retreated.

Kino smiled: "Thank you."

This smile stung Irene, and she said coldly: "So many people have died, and you can still laugh?"

Kino blinked: "As for the dead, I think they would rather see the smiles on the faces of the living than the frowns, right?"

"You?!" Irene didn't expect this guy to talk back, and immediately slammed the table.

"Quiet." Batty stopped Irene, and then looked at Kino, "Chief Administrator, Irene's brother died at your banquet, and her anger towards you is understandable. So, I hope you will cooperate with us.

investigation.”

Kino: "Whatever you ask, I will answer."

Barty: "Very good, let's get started. First, please explain what arrangements you made before and after the Divine Grace Banquet on the 30th."

This question is easy to answer. Chino explained everything directly. All his arrangements were normal procedures and there was nothing suspicious about them.

The only thing he concealed was the large amount of gunpowder previously hidden in the basement.

They are like underwater icebergs, bringing part of the truth out of the water for people to see, but they also bury more truth.

After hearing this, Batty continued: "The administrator next to me, Jashan Hedge, is an alchemist. When he was investigating and collecting evidence just now, he found some kind of gunpowder residue at the explosion site. After preliminary analysis, it was not us.

The alchemy of this world. If I understand correctly, this should be the weapon used by the aliens to attack the banquet, and also the reason why the banquet exploded?"

Kino nodded: "Yes, this is also my guess."
