"Inspector Chekhov, it's nice to see you too." After hearing what he said, Richard moved his eyebrows and remained calm as he said to Chekhov without appearing too guilty.
"Aren't you scared?" Looking at Richard's appearance, Chikafu raised his eyebrows and asked a little playfully.
"Why should I be afraid?" Richard continued to remain calm and asked slowly, "If you mean that the cause of your death is related to me, I do not deny it. I am very sorry for your previous death. It was due to a misunderstanding. caused by accident.
But this does not mean that I will be afraid when I see you resurrected. I am not worried about your revenge, nor am I afraid of your revenge. Of course, I believe that Inspector Chekhov will not really hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me. After all, this is not in line with the organization's requirements for members. If that's the case, then what am I afraid of? "
"Awesome!" Chikafu stared at Richard and said, three parts surprised, three parts mocking and four parts angry, "Wizard Richard, I really admire your calmness, your agility, and of course your ability. But very It’s a pity that you no longer have a chance to perform this time. The reason why I came to Pompeii is to find you.”
"I?"
"I am very confident that you are a spy who has infiltrated the organization. Dealing with you now can prevent immeasurable losses to the organization in the future." Chikafu said sharply.
Richard still remained calm and did not panic. He asked slowly: "Do you suspect that my purpose of joining the organization is impure? Maybe this is true, maybe this is false. Whether it is true or false, I want to ask, Supervisor Chikafu Officer, do you have any evidence? Considering our previous conflicts caused by misunderstandings, if you doubt me without evidence, it can easily be considered a frame-up."
"Don't worry, of course I have evidence." Chikafu said with a straight face.
"Where is the evidence?" Richard asked, "Human evidence, physical evidence?"
"None of them," Chikafu replied.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's your soul."
"My soul?"
"Yes, your soul." Chikafu said, "After my resurrection from heaven this time, I gained a new ability - I can pay a certain price to question your soul. The soul cannot lie, or in other words, the soul only needs to Lying can be detected, so just let me interrogate your soul and everything will come to light."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chekhov clenched his fist suddenly, a faint red light flashed all over his body, and he began to tremble. As if suffering great pain, as sweat seeped out from the surface of his skin, a gray energy vine emerged from the fingers of his fist.
The energy vines continued to stretch, and when they reached more than twenty centimeters, their momentum stalled, and the end expanded, giving birth to a bud. The buds bloomed, revealing a cyan eye composed of pure energy, looking straight at Richard, somewhat penetrating.
"This is the eye of truth, which can see through any lies." Chikafu wiped his sweat and looked at Richard and said, "I ask you now, Wizard Richard, have you ever deliberately done anything that harmed the interests of the organization? "
Richard was silent.
The wizards onlookers looked at him, slightly suspicious.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Three seconds later, Richard spoke and replied to Chikafu: "No."
As soon as the words were spoken, a layer of black energy appeared on the surface of the Eye of Truth.
"Ha!" Chikafu looked at it and sneered, "Wizard Richard, I'm afraid the answer you give is completely different from what you think in your heart. Let me ask you a second question: My previous death was Isn’t there an element of intentional murder on your part?”
"no."
The surface of the Eye of Truth was once again stained with a layer of black energy.
Chikafu shook his head and looked at Richard with some pity: "Last question, what exactly were you digging in the mine? Will it pose a major threat to the organization?"
Richard pondered for a moment and said: "I said earlier, what is excavated in the mines are only ordinary ores and some rare ores whose uses are unknown. If this is the case, it will pose a threat to the organization. I am afraid that all mines will threaten the organization. create a threat.”
When the voice fell, the surface of the words of truth was completely blackened, and it was frighteningly dark.
"Hmph." Chikafu looked at it, made a thick nasal voice, and asked Richard, "Wizard Richard, what else do you want to explain? The Eye of Truth has fully proved that you are indeed what I thought, There is a significant potential threat to the organization and needs to be addressed immediately."
"I want to ask one thing." Richard said without changing his expression, "Why did you use a spell to confirm my identity as a spy, and this spell was released by you. In my opinion, unless there is a complete chain of evidence, There are physical evidence and personal evidence, otherwise a spell cannot be used as evidence."
"Ignorance." Chikafu refuted unceremoniously. "The 'Eye of Truth' I released has been tested countless times and has not made any mistakes. So as long as you are guilty, you are guilty."
"Is there really no error in this spell?" Richard said indifferently, "Or maybe it made an error, but no one believed it. This completely illogical testing method cannot be used as evidence at all, because it Not falsifiable at all.
Besides, even if it has never made an error before, it does not mean that it will not make errors in the future. Just like the game of tossing silver coins, if the first ten times the silver coin lands on heads, does that mean that no matter how many times it is tossed after that, it will land on heads? "
"This..." Chikafu was at a loss for words. He originally thought that everything would go smoothly after arriving in Pompeii, but he didn't expect that he hit a wall at the beginning.
But soon, he figured it out: it was almost impossible to get Richard to plead guilty voluntarily. Richard's sophistry ability is already fully understood - he only died before, in a sense, it can be said that he was brought to life and death by Richard's words.
Therefore, if you want to accomplish the purpose of coming to Pompey, arguing with Richard is the most undesirable way. The most sensible thing should be to expose Richard's face and let others realize Richard's danger like him.
His purpose was to get rid of Richard, so there was no difference whether it was to make Richard wake up and stop him, or to make the others get angry and kill Richard on the spot.
Now it seems that the difficulty of realizing the latter is obviously less than that of the former.
"call-"
Taking a deep breath, Chikafu tried to calm down and said to Richard: "Okay, you may be able to say things that are originally wrong as right and right things as wrong, but this does not mean that Save your life.”
Turning his head, Chekhov looked at Rommel and said solemnly: "Director Rommel, it's up to you to handle it. Please deal with Richard, the worm in this organization, immediately."
"Deal with Wizard Richard?" Rommel spoke up, glanced at Chikafu, and asked slowly, "But Wizard Richard is not guilty, right?"
"Huh?" Chikafu's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Rommel in disbelief, "Rommel is in charge of you..."
