Original God's Dark Priest

In response to Funina's question, Navia answered firmly: "Yes."

"Do you have any evidence?" Furninna asked again.

Navia nodded firmly: "Of course." She looked at the duel agent beside Furninna, who lowered her eyes slightly and was wondering what he was thinking. "That was his opponent at the time, Clorinde."

Dueling agent Clorinde is recognized as the most determined, powerful, and winning dueling agent. She is also considered the person least likely to give false testimony.

Everyone turned their eyes to Clorinde who had a complicated expression, and Funina was no exception.

"I don't need your apology, your guilt, your care, I don't need you to be worthy of me.

But since he has entrusted you with something, you should be worthy of him." Navia had overcome the hurdle in her heart and was very calm.

Furninna turned to Clorinde and asked for confirmation, "Uh, so...during the duel, could you sense that Mr. Carres was seeking death?"

"Yes, I can." Clorinde nodded.

She had no intention of lying, and she also hoped to help Carres clear his name, so she gave a powerful testimony: "As a duel agent, I have experienced countless battles and killed countless dishonorable people.

I have also seen all kinds of people's desire for life, some are ardent, some are determined, some are manic, and some are twisted...

So I can tell at a glance what kind of people are seeking survival and what kind of people are seeking death.

I swear on my honor and as a dueling agent that Mr. Carles has no intention of living."

"In that case, I have no other questions. It seems that the incident in the past is really worth re-investigating..." Finina agreed with Navia's statement.

After getting Furninna's affirmation, Navia thought she would be sad or excited, but in fact, she didn't feel any emotion at all. She just stood there quietly and closed her eyes slightly.

The most difficult step has been taken. The Cares case has been confirmed to be questionable. The next step is to clear the grievances. Navia is confident about this.

Clear your father's name today.

Looking at Navia standing firmly below, Saphir raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Uncle, you have ideals, beliefs and dreams as valuable as gold. Now, your daughter has grown up to be able to stand on her own.

She is just as bright and shining as gold as you expected. I believe that her ideals and beliefs will also shine as brightly and unforgettable as you do."

"I agree, but Ms. Navia, you haven't told us how this case is related to your accuser." Navillatte spoke at the right time, drawing everyone's attention back to the case of the missing girl.

It was his duty to prevent anyone from talking about topics unrelated to the case in court. The purpose of the accusation this time was clear, which was the serial disappearance of young girls. If Navia could not link the Cares case to this case, then Villette had to stop the other party from continuing to speak.

The Cares case can be vindicated later. Today's focus must be on the serial disappearance of young girls. After all, it is a theme that has already been decided and many viewers are watching it, so it cannot be changed at will.

Navia said confidently: "Of course, the relevance of these two cases lies in the timing.

In the case that year, the murderer behind the scenes wanted to kill Jacques and Carres, so he needed to wait until he heard two gunshots before taking action.

I wonder if you still remember Linny's magic show. After the show, the assistant was dissolved right under the guards' noses in order to frame Linny.

Whether it was the banquet three years ago or after Linney’s magic show last time, Marcelle was there or not far from the scene.”

After the magic show, the Oprykle Opera House dispersed the audience due to a stage accident, but there was a group of people who did not leave immediately, and Marcelle was among them.

That impressed Navilette, too.

Marcelle heard this and looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "So this is why I was suspected. Alas, even if I knew it, I still find it a little unbelievable.

But I'm used to it. Navia, you've been more impulsive since you were a child and easily controlled by your emotions. This is also what makes you cute."

Seeing that he was still playing the emotional card, Silver couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him, "Stop playing the emotional card."

"Well, I won't pursue it too much. If the inferences just now are true, I don't think I was necessarily the only one present both times." Marcelle was fearless. After all, the accusations against him were just inferences and there was no actual evidence.

He continued, "And maybe people who are not present can also find a way to accurately grasp this opportunity? For example, some remote monitoring and eavesdropping methods."

Navia looked at the other party with a sneer on her face. The metaphorical judgment machine that had been deflected began to regain its balance. Marcelle easily turned the situation around with just a few words.

The audience also felt that what Marcelle said made sense. After all, Marcelle was only accused and suspected of committing a crime, and no one really regarded him as a criminal.

“Just saying this, you might think that further investigation might narrow down the scope and leave me speechless.

Alas... who wouldn't feel chilled when being accused of being the murderer of their father by their most beloved child? "Marcelle held her forehead with her hand, pretending to be distressed, "but if you don't take it seriously, you will feel that this is looking down on you.

There is no other way, so I'll just treat this as a lesson for you. Do you know where the biggest flaw in your logic is?"

His hypocritical and disgusting appearance made Navia's anger rise rapidly. Silver and Myles hurriedly tried to comfort her softly, fearing that Navia would say irrational words out of anger.

Losing your mind due to anger is a big taboo in this court.

Unexpectedly, Navia did not really lose her mind. She did not care about Marcelle's various verbal provocations, because she still had an ace in her hand, so she did not mind having some fun with Marcelle: "Where is it?"

“It’s still about timing,” Marcelle said confidently, “I’m a businessman, I’m in business, I have no motive to make a girl disappear, this is something that has no benefit and is very risky.

When I was young, I left my hometown of Zhidong and went to Baisong Town to do small business. Later, with the support of Mr. Carres, I gradually got on the right track.

But the missing girl case had already happened before I came to Fontaine, right?"

His statement reduced everyone's suspicion of him to the lowest point. Even Navia became a little uncertain. According to Marcelle, he really did not seem to meet the conditions of being the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of young girls.

Myles was also a little nervous: "Sorry, Miss, this... is my negligence. I didn't notice this problem."

Navia shook her head: "The information provided by Saphir cannot be wrong, so I think the most likely possibility is that Marcelle is lying, but this lie is difficult to expose...

Now...our best option should be..."

"Anything else you want to say? Do you want to check the date of the business application and see how long it was between that and the initial disappearance of the girl?" Marcelle said with a smug tone. He felt that he had completely gained the upper hand. "Look at my entry records again, and go to my hometown in winter and ask my relatives and friends there when I left?

"Has this made you feel a little better about the grief you can't express?"

The metaphorical verdict machine completely restored its balance, which meant that almost everyone present believed that Marcelle was not guilty. This result often meant that the charges were not established, and Navia would then face the consequences of false accusation.

Marcelle continued to talk: "I think your analysis of Mr. Cares's mental journey is very reasonable.

But aren't you disappointing his expectations by doing this?

He hopes that you can be more rational, calmer, and more thoughtful, instead of always focusing only on yourself.

When you understand how to consider others and how to stop being controlled by impulse, your father should be satisfied. "

"You have been talking for so long with the attitude of an elder. You really... like to talk to yourself." Just when everyone thought that Navia had run out of tricks and had no other means, she spoke with a sneer.

Under Marcelle's puzzled gaze, Navia looked at Navrette who was high up: "Your Excellency the Judge, please let the witness appear in court."

"Bring Vaughn up." With Villette's order, Officer Vaughn, escorted by several guards, was brought to the stage of the opera house to receive everyone's attention.

Looking at Vaughn being brought up, Marcelle's calm expression finally showed a crack.

Navia looked directly at Marcelle: "Do you think I will accuse you without any evidence? Vaughn, tell me the name of the mastermind and make it public.

Of course, Marcelle, you can also dissolve Vaughn right now, but I can tell you that everything you do is in vain, because Vaughn confessed a few days ago, and your reckless actions will only turn this witness... into more powerful... physical evidence. "

Out of sight of everyone, Marcelle clenched his fists. He never expected that Vaughn would turn against him at this time.

"I said, I said... the murderer of the serial disappearance of young girls... was Marcelle." Vaughn squatted on the ground tremblingly and confessed everything he knew, "When he was performing at Linny's, he planned to dissolve the woman during the performance, but failed.

His purpose was to pin the blame for the serial disappearances of young girls on the Fatui, because... because Linnie was a member of the Fatui, and behind him was the fourth Fatui executive officer, the servant.

The servant has been in Fontaine for a long time and his reputation is not good, so he is the most suitable person to take the blame..."

Vaughan spilled the beans, and told them everything he knew.

The Judgment Machine lost its balance in an instant, and everyone leaned towards Navia.

With Vaughan's testimony, everyone would have doubts about Marcelle, but people still had doubts in their minds, that is, Marcelle's appearance in Fontaine was wrong at the wrong time, which was difficult to explain.

Navia continued, “Just now you said that the first missing girl case did not coincide with the time when you came to Fontaine.

This is used by you to refute my accusation, so I would like to ask you, why do you know so clearly when the first case of missing girls occurred?

According to what you said, that case should have nothing to do with you. Why did you remember the time of this case that had nothing to do with you when it was winter? Can I understand that this was an alibi you created for yourself?

Or maybe this case is not unrelated to you at all, but... the first missing girl is your acquaintance, or even your lover... Vashie!"

Navia finally bares her fangs at Marcelle.

With one word "Vashie", all of Marcelle's indifference turned into ashes. He breathed heavily, sweated coldly, and looked at Navia opposite him, but couldn't say a word.

----------------

Not long ago, at the production site of Les, with the breakthrough of Isote and his group, Ying and Paimon finally arrived at the final destination: the murderer's experimental site.

"This is it. Go check around and see if there are any survivors." Isote ordered.

The advance team of Fatui spread out and began searching.

Ying and little Paimon followed behind Isoter, observing the surrounding environment.

Isothe looked around and said, "Don't be nervous. Lord Anmu's guess is unlikely to be wrong. The mastermind must be Marcelle. As long as he doesn't have a partner, then there will be no one to hinder us in this experimental base..."

"But if no one is here, it means..." Ying frowned, feeling mixed emotions.

Isothe nodded slightly, saying with regret: "That means there are no survivors here."

"Lord Isot, I checked the east, and there is no one."

"Not to the west either."

"It's the same here, there's no one."

Their subordinates kept reporting the situation, and every report made them understand that there was no danger here, but at the same time, their mood became increasingly heavy.

The serial disappearance of young girls has continued for so many years, and the number of missing people is very large. If there is no survivor here, it means that all those people were killed.

Even Isote, who had long since become indifferent to life and death, couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill at the murderer's cruelty.

"There are some boxes here!" a member of the advance team shouted not far away.

Isothe immediately ran over with Ying and little Paimon.

Seeing the things in the box, Xiao Pai scratched his head: "What's in this box? Why are there so many cute things?

Pink pendant...headband...necklace...and makeup box..."

Isothe walked forward with a stern face and took a label off a box: "Aurelie... It looks like the name of the owner of the item."

"What does it mean to label women's items with different names?" Little Paimon expressed his confusion about this practice.

Her question went unanswered. Not only Ying and Isoter, but even the Fatui vanguard members around them remained silent.

Finally, it was Isothe who answered Paimon’s question. She put the label back on the original box and sighed, “Obviously, these are the remains of the victims of the missing girl case.

And here…”

"This is the place where they died." As soon as Ying finished speaking, everyone felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to their heads.

Paimon was already stunned: "What? They... were brought here? And then... turned into water... So many boxes means... So scary."

It is hard to imagine how many people died in such a not very spacious place. Judging from the number of these boxes, it must be a huge number.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but Isothe suddenly sneered: “I remember that the reason why Lord Anmu left Fontaine was because he killed forty-six people.

How many victims are there here? Fifty? Or more?"

"The number must be more than forty-six." Ying shook her head, "And not all of them were brought here and killed. Some were killed in other places. This is just an experimental base."

"Let's look at other places and collect sufficient evidence. As subordinates of Lady Dark Shepherd, we must also follow her tradition and win with one blow. We must not give the opponent any breathing space." Isote waved his hand, and everyone began to investigate other places.
