"At least the fact that I am standing here can be regarded as decisive evidence that you have committed perjury."
The newly appeared boy spoke to the bound person. His appearance was like a ray of light that pierced through the fog, shattering all the falsehoods and making the events more interesting.
Olga Marie, who had been staring at Trisha’s head, finally looked away and called out the boy’s name.
"... Coles Fulvig."
Yes, the young man who appeared just now was Colles himself.
"Well done, Webber!"
Melvin clapped his hands, shouted excitedly, and gave his friend heartfelt praise.
"It's really enjoyable! It's really fun! It's really a good show worth betting my life on!"
Life and property are not vain. In order to bid for the "Eye of Illusion", Melvin mortgaged his house, workshop, assets, treasures and everything else that could be mortgaged, which earned him nearly $500 million. If he really spent it, he wouldn't even be able to afford the medicine to treat himself.
And all of this was due to Weber's request. However, Weber didn't tell him why, but just assured him that he would find it interesting, so he did it - that's true love, that's why they are best friends.
Faced with this decisive evidence, the bound Colles, no, the real murderer who disguised himself as Colles finally stopped denying it.
"I'll just admit it."
"You are the one who invested in Yvette, right?" Weber asked again. As analyzed before, the Lehman family simply could not afford so much money.
"Yes." The real murderer admitted, "But why don't you suspect it was Miss Luvia? She can also come up with so much money."
"I suspected it at first, but then I ruled it out because she slipped a note into my pocket while we were talking, saying you were a fake!"
Hearing this answer, the pretender exclaimed, "This is an unexpected answer. I thought my imitation of Corles Fulvige was generally perfect, but even the famous 'Discerning Eye' couldn't see through it. How did it see through it?"
Honestly, Shinji also wanted to know the answer to the question.
In the original world line, Weber was severely injured and nearly died. The impostor used a technique that Corles had not yet touched to save Weber - he did not want the death of a lord at this stage to attract the full attention of the Clock Tower - which aroused Weber's suspicion. As a teacher, Weber has the most accurate grasp of his students' academic ability and potential.
Now, Shinji was using connections and borrowing equipment, so how could Weber be beaten to the point of being seriously injured and on the verge of death? In fact, when Shinji saw Weber standing and chatting and laughing with him, he knew that his arrangements were not in vain. In the original world line, this guy was sitting in the same four-wheel drive car as Zhuge Liang, the god of cars, and he only lacked a feather fan and a scarf. He was chatting and laughing and destroying the masts and oars.
At first, Shinji was a little worried that Waver wouldn't be able to see through him, but then he thought, since both he and Elquet were here, was it important whether Waver saw through him or not? At most, he could just suppress him with lightning speed, so he just watched the show with peace of mind - and unexpectedly, he really saw something different.
Everyone's eyes turned to the girl who was as dazzling as a gem, waiting for her answer, but unexpectedly, Luvia shook her head.
"It wasn't me. I just helped pass the note."
"Who is that?" Shinji asked, and things started to get interesting.
Luvia turned her head and looked at the mysterious woman sitting in the corner of the venue, wrapped in black clothes, black veil and black hat.
"Miss Yugudola?" someone called her.
The woman who had been silent since the auction began and had minimized her presence spoke up, "Your imitation is indeed beautiful. You were able to combine necromancy and empathy to the point where it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. It's truly astonishing."
"Almost? Does that mean there are still flaws in my technique? Please explain." The pretender asked sincerely, like a good student who is willing to learn.
"I can't see the flaws in the technique, but a fake is still a fake. You can't replace Corles. If it's the real one, he wouldn't be able to recognize me."
"you-?"
The fake Coles looked at the mysterious woman carefully, hoping to see something.
The woman neither stood up nor took off her wide-brimmed hat or veil; she simply raised her head and fixed her gaze on the face of the real Colles.
This ordinary action made Coles tremble, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He walked to the woman like sleepwalking and murmured, "Sister? Is it Sister Fiore?"
The woman did not rush to answer. She quietly took off her hood and veil, revealing a face that was no less beautiful than Luvia and Yvette.
"Long time no see, Coles, you've grown taller."
"Sister, it's really you..." Coles stood there blankly, staring at the woman in a trance.
Shinji was also confused. What was going on with this Ta-meow? Why was Fiore here? Didn't she run away from home early in this world line, without any news, and no role
The woman smiled, her smile and voice were equally clean and clear:
"Of course, I'm not a fake, and I'm not pretending. If you don't believe me, you can tell me all the embarrassing things you did when you were a child. When I was three years old..."
"No, no, no, I believe it, I believe it!"
Coles immediately gave in and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, fake, I admit that your disguise is very good, but appearance can be disguised, figure can be disguised, voice and temperament can be disguised, but here - the connection of souls cannot be disguised. Every bit of my sister and I growing up together is something you can never imitate."
The pretender frowned in annoyance. "I see. The bond between blood relatives is indeed irreplaceable. But it turned out to be my long-lost sister. Such a coincidence is really speechless."
Fiore corrected him, "It's not a coincidence. I came here specifically for Corles. I wanted to meet him secretly to see if he was doing well. But you ignored my hints several times. That was the code we had been using since childhood, and Corles would never ignore it. So I secretly observed you for a while and confirmed that you were a fake! That's why I asked Miss Luvia to pass a note to Professor Velvet."
Coles asked: "Sister, do you know Miss Luvia?"
"Yes. I've been living with her for some time."
"Living together... So you've been in London? Why did you do this? You could have come to see me directly. Wait, this is also weird. Miss Luvia used Miss Yvette's entourage quota, but you got on the car alone. I don't understand what you are thinking, sister?"
Coles grabbed his hair tightly, completely different from his hard-working and calm image in the classroom.
PS: Wearing a feather fan and a blue silk scarf, he reduced the masts and oars to ashes while talking and laughing. This was originally written about Zhou Yu, but somehow it became Liang Liang’s standard.
PS2: Someone asked what is the meaning of this plot? I have said before that it is to give everyone a reason to go to Fuyuki. Don't be in a hurry, just watch it slowly. After the reasoning, the next step is for all the people to appear on the stage. Recalling the preview that I have released, this volume may be a little watery, but it is definitely not meaningless.
