Original God's Dark Priest

Fontaine is a just country, but not a country that hates evil.

No matter what country it is, there are always places where filth and corruption are hidden. Even Navilette, who is absolutely fair in most people's eyes, has his own private affairs.

When he confirmed that Marcelle was the culprit behind the serial disappearances of young girls, he wished he knew nothing about it and let Safire just kill this person.

But he couldn't do that. There was a kind of justice in Fontaine called procedural justice.

Moreover, he is Navrette, the Supreme Judge who will never show partiality no matter what the situation.

So, Marcelle spent last night safely and stood here intact. Even this morning, he was in a good mood and drank an extra glass of milk.

Navia has not gone out for the past two days because the information compiled by Saphir really shocked her, and she needed time to digest it and sort out her thoughts.

After calming down all her emotions, Navia became firm and took over the responsibility that originally fell on Ying's shoulders, which was to accuse Marcelle.

For Navia, clearing the slander against her father is her biggest dream at present. Now that this dream is about to be realized, she does not want to use anyone else's hands, and must send the murderer to hell personally.

So she spoke up: "This matter needs to be traced back to the case of 'Injustice Kares' three years ago. Only by finding out the truth of that incident can we connect the entire series of missing girls' cases."

For Navia, saying the six words "unjust Kares" was painful, but she still said it because she knew that this was the only way to the final victory, even though it was full of thorns.

She reminded herself that the labor pains were only temporary and that her father must be watching her from heaven, watching her clear herself of all the slander and restore her father's innocence.

Marcelle showed a surprised and bewildered expression: "You don't think that I did what Mr. Cares did? I have no reason at all! Mr. Cares is my benefactor, and at that time, you and I rushed out after hearing the gunshots.

If I am a suspect, then everyone present should be a suspect, right?"

Furninna scratched her head, hugged Saphir tighter, and said, "I... I don't think we need to discuss this in a hurry. The audience may not know much about the case... Even I can't remember it clearly."

Saphir struggled uncomfortably but failed to break free. He could only lower his head and let this silly Fu Fu hold him.

Navia nodded to Furninna, then looked at Navrette: "Yes, Your Excellency the Inquisitor. I need to remind everyone present of the whole story before I give my explanation."

The details of the case had already been retrieved, and even Villette had known about the connection between the Cares case and the serial disappearance of young girls several days ago. Therefore, he had read the details of the Cares case countless times in the past few days and had already memorized them by heart.

At this time, he was able to talk about the details of the case easily: "Well, in view of this situation, let me give a complete account based on the investigation of the law enforcement court that year."

He adjusted his breathing and began to slowly recount the events of the Carres case: "On the day of the incident, the Thorn Rose Club and other guests held a banquet in the wild, at the manor belonging to the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce.

During the banquet, all guests heard two gunshots outside the house.

When everyone arrived, the suspect Carres was holding a firearm, and Jacques, who met him, was shot and killed.

After investigating the scene, the security team members did not find any other guns, so they believed that the suspect's first shot missed and the second shot killed Jacques.

None of these inferences were denied by the suspect, and he did not protest, choosing instead to prove his reputation through a duel.

In the duel, the suspect was defeated by the dueling agent Clolinde and died.

That’s the overall situation.”

The logic of the whole incident seemed to be flawless. If it were anywhere else, it would be a crime scene without any doubts. It was very normal for the case to be closed in this way at the time.

But Safire could tell something was wrong at a glance, because she knew in advance that the Fontaine Man would dissolve in water. This revealed a flaw in the originally perfect crime scene, because the third person existed.

Navia took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for the statement of the Grand Inquisitor. In our eyes, this inference was obviously the most likely one, but after we learned that the water of the original fetal sea can dissolve people, the situation has changed greatly.

Based on the testimony of Jacques' family, it is certain that he originally intended to kill Carres that day.

But he didn't do so in the end, and chose to confess everything to Carles and seek asylum.

As it turns out, the mastermind behind this had anticipated this happening and sent another person.

He first shot and killed Jacques, and then tried to kill Cares, but Cares snatched the gun and killed him instead.

There was a pile of clothes left at the crime scene, and the security team thought that they were props used by Jacques to hide his identity.

But now it seems that it is the irrefutable evidence that there was a third person at the scene and that he has dissolved!

It was a rainy day, and apparently the suspect was very confident that he could use the rain to hide the water traces left by the dissolved person.

The mastermind dissolved the man in water and pinned the blame on Carres - this is the truth of the incident."

Navia's inference made a large number of viewers suddenly realize that it is no longer a secret that the water of the original fetal sea can dissolve the Fontaine people, and the credibility of Navia's words is infinitely rising.

Some viewers were also very shocked: "So something as dangerous as the Primordial Fetal Sea Water has been used for several years?"

Safir twitched his lips when he heard this. To be precise, it has been more than 20 years since the first missing girl case...

At that time, she had not yet arrived on the ice field in the dead of winter.

A flash of panic flashed across Marcelle's eyes, but he soon calmed down and spoke in a relieved tone: "That makes sense. This also explains the motives of Mr. Carres and Mr. Jacques... They didn't attack each other."

Navillatte was tired of Marcelle's performance, and he reminded her: "Mr. Marcelle, now is the accusation against you, and you need to come up with a rebuttal."

"Ah... but I think what Navia said was very good. I didn't hear anything that was directly directed at me..." Marcelle simply chose to play dumb, as if as long as he maintained this hypocritical appearance, no one could expose him.

Funina was also a little unsure. Although she came here today to prosecute Tartaglia, she didn't know the true circumstances of Marcelle's case.

Saphir didn't tell her, and neither did Villette. After all... Funina's litigation skills were indeed not reassuring. Rather than betting on whether she would make things worse, it would be better to leave her confused.

So, after being confused and struggling to figure out the answer, Funina spoke up: "Then, let me ask you. I think there are mainly two questions...

First, is there any evidence to support the inferences you made?"

In response to Finina's question, Navia smiled slightly: "I understand what Lord Water God is thinking. No matter when, witnesses and testimonies are the most unreliable things. Only physical evidence is the real evidence.

It just so happens that the set of clothes is now kept by Torosa. By comparing the clothes with the missing persons during that period, it will not be difficult to find the identity of the third person."

In fact, Saphir also considered whether to dig this person out directly, but she just thought about it and gave up because there was no need.

This is not conclusive evidence, and if the Fatui can handle everything themselves, what is the point of Fontaine?

There are now five Fatui executives lurking in Fontaine. If they wanted to, they could overthrow the current Fontainebleau Court and directly take down Fontaine.

In fact, Saphir has missed one. Including her, Rosalin, Alechino, Tartaglia, and Sandoni who is obsessed with curves and has not left yet, there are five of them.

However, there is a former Fatui executive who has already set foot in Fontaine's territory with Seele.

"Aurora has gone to Fontaine? No wonder I can't find her anywhere..." The young man wearing a bamboo hat sneered.

The girl in a bachelor's dress glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "If you want to ask her for help, you have to work hard on your own. I won't be your lobbyist. The purpose of my coming to Fontaine this time is to complete the hydrological monitoring. The data obtained will be used to improve my thesis. Don't expect me to help you find her."

"I know this without you telling me." The young man in the bamboo hat snorted coldly and walked straight forward.

The girl who was left behind by him looked unhappy and quickly followed him.

These two people are Seele and Scaramucci, no, it should be said that they are Shuanghua.

They happened to meet in Chenyu Valley. Xier saw Shuanghua looking for someone to find out about Saphir, and she didn't intend to pay attention to him, but...

After all, she was not a stranger and was recognized at once. When Shuanghua learned that she was going to Fontaine, she followed her without saying a word. Along the way, Xier couldn't resist her coaxing and finally told her about Saphir's stay in Fontaine.

So the two of them walked together towards Fontainebleau.

At the Oprykle Opera House, the trial continues.

After listening to Navia's words, Funina nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense, I agree. As for Violet, I think this is a very reliable direction of investigation."

She didn't know that the case of the serial disappearance of young girls had already been concluded, so she took Navia's point of view as a direction and planned to record it.

Villette would not embarrass Furninna unless it was necessary, so she nodded and agreed.

Finina then looked at Navia again and continued, "I have another question, which is related to the duel later. If the truth is as you analyzed...

Why didn't Mr. Carles fight back? Why not just say someone was dissolved? At least he would have room to fight back during the trial?"

This is also what confuses most people. Since Cares was wronged, why did he willingly die without any explanation? This is not reasonable.

Saphir looked up at Funina's face. Even from her death angle, Funina's delicate cheeks did not become ugly. She was very pleased that Funina was currently behaving very normally, almost normal to the point of being abnormal.

It seems that this guy is really serious about it this time, which makes Saphir very satisfied and adds more passion to the subsequent plan to save Fontaine.

Navia closed her eyes, suppressing the emotions surging in her heart, and after a long time she spoke: "The reason is very simple."

After saying this, she paused again and everyone looked at her.

"Because, Carles, is my father." Navia said word by word, "At that time, the Thorn Rose Society would be in turmoil, and his reputation would be ruined. Choosing to reveal the truth that someone dissolved in water at that time would be tantamount to choosing to fight to the death.

It is still unknown whether the Thorn Rose Society, which has reached the end of its rope, can find the culprit, but the murderer in the dark can always target his biggest weakness, which is... me. "

The reality is very cruel. To Navia, speaking out such a reality and admitting her own weaknesses and flaws is even more cruel. She knows that it is her existence that makes Cares bear such a bad reputation. Even if she died, she did not struggle, but died resolutely in the duel.

Clorinde paid the highest respect to Carres and sent her off with her unreserved strength, but she bore a grudge against her for three years. All of this turned into bullets shot at Navia, destroying her spirit.

Miles saw the tears in Navia's eyes and knew that it was difficult for her to speak, so he took over the conversation: "The boss once told me personally that the eldest lady has been selected as the target of the missing girl case."

"What?" Finina's eyes widened. She was not shocked by the arrogant crime warning, but was surprised that Navia had managed to survive to this day.

She recalled that Safir had come back once last year, and after that time, Navia never investigated anything about the Cares case again.

I'm afraid that a year ago, Saphir already had a comprehensive grasp of the whole story. Even her arrangement for the Rose of Heaven to undertake the construction and liaison of the Liyue route was probably for this purpose.

Keeping Navia away from Fontaine means keeping her away from the murderer. Did she protect Navia for a year in this way? Isn't this person... a little too scary?

Navia didn't think so much, she calmed down and continued: "If the secret is made public, the culprit a few years ago will be doomed to die with the Thorn Rose Society, not only me, but also other people in the organization will be in danger.

After that, maybe your security team can solve the case and give justice to Cimei... Heh." She said sarcastically, "But what's the use of justice? Can it protect anyone?

If Dad had any expectation of fairness and justice in the opera house, he would not have established the Rose Thorn Society!

If we choose to conceal it, we can still maintain our deterrence against each other and continue the stalemate. I will become the president of the Thorn Rose Society, which will make it more difficult for me to disappear, and I will also have more time.

Until I know the truth and am ready, I and my friends, not this opera house, will restore the truth and honor to my father!"

Finina and Navillatte looked at Navia with complicated expressions. Although what Navia said was unpleasant, it was true.

It was because Navia became the president of the Thorn Rose Society that the other party became cautious in their actions. It was because Navia became the president of the Thorn Rose Society that the girl who had a deep connection with the Thorn Rose Society many years ago would naturally hand over a major project to her.

In this way, she was able to safely get through what should have been the most difficult and dangerous year. Now, that person has returned to Fontaine, and the first thing he does when he returns to Fontaine is to find out the murderer.

Furninna felt that she understood everything: "So... Mr. Carres wanted to die on purpose?"

There was one more question she didn't ask: Did Carres expect Saphir to come to help Navia? And how much did he bet on Saphir?

No one can answer this question.

Saphir sighed softly, she remembered the conversation she had with Kares long ago.

"Uncle, I've bet everything on you. Whether I can turn the tables and send those bastards to hell depends on you. You won't let me down, will you?" Little Saphir tilted his head and looked at the big Cares.

Many years later, when facing Clorinde's rapier, Carres had the same expression on his face as that child: "Girl, I put everything on you. You won't let me down, right? My daughter, everything about the Thorn Rose Society depends on you...

The new Fatui executive officer... Shadow Priest... Aurora..."
