Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 55 The truth gradually emerges

After listening to Chang Ming's analysis, the audience sitting in the audience all made sounds of sudden enlightenment.

After Linny's case, they have gained a preliminary understanding of the water of the original fetal sea.

Everything Chang Ming just said...is completely reasonable.

"As expected of you, Lord Regent. You have figured out the whole story of the case based on just this information!"

"I see... But what does this have to do with Marcelle? Even if Chang Ming is right, this doesn't prove that Marcelle is the mastermind, does it?"

"Is this the problem? The 'Missing Girl Case' lasted for so long, causing panic among the people, until it finally came to an end three years ago."

"Yes, the original fetal sea water is such a dangerous thing that has been used for so many years... It's creepy to think about it..."

Not only the audience in the audience expressed this, even Marcelle, who stood on the opposite side of Navia and Chang Ming, began to cheer.

"Master Chang Ming's words make sense. In this way... Mr. Carres and Mr. Jacques' motives can be explained... They did not attack each other."

Hearing this attitude towards the other party, Villette was stunned, and then subconsciously reminded:

"Mr. Marcelle, now is the accusation against you, and you need to provide a rebuttal."

"No, but I think Lord Chang Ming's argument and Navia's investigation results make sense. Besides, these contents... have no direction to me, right?"

After these words came out, even Navillato, who had presided over the trial for five hundred years, fell silent. Just before he opened his mouth to ask Navia about the core content, Furninna took the lead and asked:

"Well, then let me ask. I think there are two main issues now..."

As Fu Nina spoke, she turned her gaze to Chang Ming and asked:

"First, are there any evidences to support your inferences?"

At this moment, Funina was doing what Chang Ming had instructed her to do.

As a deity who guides justice, it is natural for her to speak out all the problems she has noticed.

At this moment, Funina was putting into practice what Chang Ming had told her.

Her job is to guide justice and maintain fairness.

Her current conversation partner is the regent Chang Ming, who is also one of the three giants of Fontaine. She cannot just let these details go.

If we just let it go like this...even if the case is overturned, there will still be people who say that it was Funina and Navilette who were tolerant of Chang Ming, and their credibility will decline.

She believed that this was definitely not what Chang Ming wanted to see.

Hearing this, Chang Ming smiled at Funina, as if he agreed with her behavior, but he suddenly shook his head and said without any hesitation:

"I'm so sorry, but as of now... not yet."

Chang Ming's words were like a fire starter, instantly igniting the interest of the people in the audience.

"Really? You're doing something so shameless in such a way? Even if you're the regent, you can't do this, right?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Lord Chang Ming should have something else to say. Why are you so eager to draw conclusions?"

"That's enough. The regent is involved in such a personal matter... Do you think it will be good?"

Chang Ming just stood there quietly, without a trace of emotion in his sea-blue eyes, as if he didn't care about these remarks at all.

He had been a regent for more than four hundred years, almost five hundred years, and he knew the character of the people of Fontaine very well.

These people are just out to watch the fun and no matter how big the event, very few of them can think rationally about anything. Most of them are either there to watch the fun or to add fuel to the fire.

So you can't confront them at this time, you have to calmly tell them all the facts you have seen and your own thoughts, and add your status and prestige here...

They will naturally shut up.

"Although we don't have evidence that can directly confirm our reasoning logic, we have corresponding ideas."

"The reason is actually very simple. The word 'disappearance' was strongly associated with 'girl' at the time, so once a girl disappeared, everyone would be alert."

"But what if this 'third person' is not the girl? The way to find it is also very simple. Through the investigation and matching of elemental forces, and then looking for records of people who disappeared during that period, we will naturally gain something."

As expected, as Chang Ming presented his thoughts and investigative ideas bit by bit, the public opinion against him became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

After listening to Chang Ming's explanation, Funina thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said to Villette:

"That makes sense... Well, Villette, I think this is a very solid line of investigation."

"In addition, I have another question to ask. This matter is related to the duel that will follow. If the truth is as Chang Ming analyzed..."

"Then why didn't Mr. Caress fight back? Why not just say someone was dissolved? At least there would be room for resistance during the trial?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming took a step back gently, and Navia almost immediately replied:

"I've thought about this, and the answer is actually very simple - he doesn't want to do this."

"For the culprit of the "serial disappearance of girls" case, the efficacy of the original fetal sea water is a very important secret."

"Once this secret is leaked, his deeds will be immediately known to us, just like... now."

"My father, Carles, can choose to reveal or conceal..."

"But at that stage, Thorn Rose would be in turmoil, and the reputation he had worked so hard to build up all his life would collapse in an instant. Choosing to reveal this important clue might not necessarily lead to finding the murderer..."

"—but he could never...protect me."

Myles looked at his eldest daughter with some distress, then raised his head and looked at Funina who was sitting in the VIP seat and said:

"The boss once told me personally that the young lady has been chosen as the target of the "missing girl case."

Navia took a deep breath and calmed herself down before continuing:

"If the secret had been made public, the culprit would have fought the Thorn Rose Guild to the death three years ago. Not only me, but everyone else in the guild would have been in danger as well."

At this point, Navia's face suddenly showed a sneer, and then she said excitedly:

"After the Rose Thorn Society and them are destroyed together, perhaps your security team can solve the case and give justice to the Rose Thorn Society and my father, Carres, but..."

"What's the use of justice?! What can it protect?!"

"If Dad had any expectations for fairness, for the so-called "justice" and "judgment" of the opera house, he would not have established the Thorn Rose Society!"

"If we choose to conceal it, we can still maintain our deterrence against each other and continue the stalemate."

"And I will become the president of the Thorn Rose Society, which will make it even more difficult for me to disappear. I will also have more time to investigate this matter."

"Until I find out the truth, prepare myself and stand here, it is I, not this opera house, who will return the truth and honor to my father!"

Hearing this, Funina fell into a brief silence.

Her heart felt heavy at this moment, but...she had to hold on.

The girl simply calmed herself down and asked softly:

"You mean to say... Mr. Cares committed suicide?"

"Yes."

"Is there any evidence for this?"

"of course."

Navia set her sights on Clorinde who was standing next to Furninna.

"That's his opponent——"Duel Agent" Clorinde!"
