Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Does Morris love Alyssa?

The answer is without a doubt, of course he loves it.

Otherwise, why would he go against the traditional conservative aristocratic style and be with a maid, a commoner?

However, his love was not complete, and he could not give everything to Alyssa.

In Morris's heart, family wealth and status are far more important than love.

When Morris heard Xiawolei's slightly reproachful words, he immediately raised his head and retorted loudly.

"I have no choice!"

"I gave her some money and told her to leave the house and not give birth to the child."

"Who would have thought that a few years later, she would send me a letter with pictures of her two children in it. She said she hoped I would have time to visit them..."

"Hmm? Two children. Baptiste who was arrested earlier, and now Veronique..."

Funina said thoughtfully.

Veronica stared at Morris without saying a word.

"But even if she didn't listen to you and gave birth to the child, you could have just not responded. Why kill her?"

Chavore asked.

"Hehe... I was about to marry another noble daughter. If anyone found out about this, the rest of my life would be over! I had no choice!"

"Besides, she could have lived on her own. The money I left her was more than enough for her retirement. She should have disappeared from my life, but she did it herself! She came back on her own!"

"Why didn't you come back earlier? Why did you come back at the most important moment for me? When I was getting married!"

"I killed her only to protect myself. I had no choice!"

Morris's expression was distorted and he was roaring hysterically.

"...No, it's not that you didn't have a choice, it's that you made the wrong choice again."

After a long silence, Xiawolei finally spoke.

"Uh...ah..."

Morris turned his head away and said nothing more.

At this time, Veronica, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Do you know how it feels to watch your mother being killed in front of you?"

Veronica's voice was heavy and sad, yet contained anger.

"My brother and I...we were two kids who had barely started to remember things. We hid under the floor...we held each other's hands tightly, not daring to make even the slightest sound of breathing!"

"All I could do was watch my mother fight the killer, and then...fall!"

"After the killer left, my brother and I didn't dare to move, fearing that he would come back. We waited until the next night before we dared to crawl out from under the floor..."

"And mother... has already become cold and stiff."

Veronica's eyes were blurred with tears and she was crying softly.

"…From that time on, you made up your mind to make the truth of the matter known to the public."

Xiawolei said.

"That's not all! We want revenge!"

Veronica wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and flames burst out of her eyes again, the flames of revenge!

"Is this why you became Gunners?"

Chavore asked.

"No, this is why I became a Gunner. I was the one who killed the man before, and it has nothing to do with my brother."

Veronica shook her head.

"I know……"

Xiawolei said lightly.

"Um, what?"

Veronica was puzzled.

"I told you that your brother doesn't look like someone who would kill someone. His attitude when he confessed his guilt that night was too straightforward, which made me very uncomfortable."

"Most importantly, I don't sense any regret in him. So I conclude that the Gunslinger is someone else."

"He confessed faster than any other prisoner I have ever seen, but he never said a word to you. He insisted that he did everything."

"But after the interrogation, I took apart the rifle that I dug out from the backyard, put it in front of him, and asked him to put it back together. Guess how far he got?"

"Uh……"

Veronica didn't dare to respond because she knew clearly that her brother knew nothing about guns.

"He couldn't put any of the parts together. He had never touched a rifle before!"

"So, I am more certain of my conclusion. There is more than one criminal in this case! And he did this just to attract the attention of the special patrol team and Morris for his companions and you."

"When everyone thinks that the murderer, the Gunner, has been captured, Morris's weakness will be exposed, and you will seize this opportunity to carry out your revenge plan."

"I just chose to take advantage of the situation."

"And the facts proved that my inference was correct. When the second gunner saw Morris alone, he followed him without hesitation."

"Besides, you gave yourself away from the beginning. Isn't your brother's novel called The Two Gunmen?"

Xiawolei said confidently.

"Yeah, that makes sense. But why do you suspect it was Veronica?"

Furninna nodded and then asked her doubts.

"Veronica shouldn't have revealed any flaws during these days of getting along."

Hearing this, Xiawolei patiently answered for Funina.

"Lady Fernina, you don't know that when Baptiste told me Maurice's name that night, I already knew it."

"There are problems with the investors' funds. These are all fake. He just wants to take the position of investor first, and then he won't pay the money, so that Yingying will die in the womb."

“After all, he is the one who least wants this story to become famous. This idea is exactly the same as what he did to Alyssa back then…”

Veronica spat, "How despicable!"

"In the end, what he didn't expect was that Xavier overcame numerous difficulties and actually took a picture of the reflection. And now he couldn't sit still."

"Plus, the arrest of the murderer Baptiste gave him a reason to no longer hide, so he showed up."

"As for the true identity of the [Second Gunner], I guess the suspect will stay around Morris and look for opportunities."

"And assuming this person knows that Morris is an investor in such a shadow, then the scope of suspects is narrowed down a lot."

"Besides, as a prop master, it's easy for him to order some parts in the name of the [production crew] without arousing suspicion."

"Following this line of thought, I went to look through the records of Baptiste's orphanage. Guess whose name appeared in the records on the same day twenty years ago?"

Xiawolei looked at Funina and said.

"Veronica!"

Furninna echoed.

"...Brother believes in you..."

Veronica said.

"Does it mean to [complete his revenge]?" Xiawolei replied.

"He believes that you are on the side of [justice]!"

Veronica became increasingly emotional.

"I am." Xiawolei replied without hesitation and without any doubt.
