Chapter 1540: The servant visits, the missing case is closed, and the son is imprisoned

"What? The young master has been accused of being the murderer of the 'serial disappearance of young girls' case. Ilie Island will hold a 'trial' for this Fatui executive?"

The next day, early in the morning.

Yesterday, we sorted out the clues of the case. Paimon, Ying, Navia, and Charlotte, who had a clue about the case, were awakened by the morning news.

Paimon shouted in disbelief.

"According to our investigation, this matter has nothing to do with him!"

They have even identified the suspects, and the Fatui are not involved at all.

"That's outrageous. Who made the accusation?" Charlotte frowned.

"Oh no, if the accusation against him is true..." Navia looked nervous.

"They will think that the murderer has been found... and it will be difficult to overturn Mr. Cares's case." Charlotte understood the progress of Ying and the others' investigation.

It has been confirmed that Mr. Cares's case is related to the murderer of the missing girl.

If the opera house was trying the real murderer, they would have nothing to say. They could just provide evidence later and add charges to the murderer. But the executor of Winter Solstice... was obviously a fake murderer.

It has nothing to do with what they investigated.

But for Navia, the fairness of the Tribunal is completely unreliable.

Once a "miscarriage of justice" is made, the murderer will have enough reasons to escape legal sanctions.

Jiang Yi opened the room and looked at the people in the living room. Klevi also rubbed her eyes and woke up. Last night, she was moved to another room to sleep.

"If you have somewhere to go, I can give you a ride. But I will not be involved in the case." Jiang Yi said, "Today... an important person will come to visit me."

"Krevy, go prepare some tea and snacks... After you're ready, go to Qianzhi's house and buy three larger pieces of clothing."

"Come back in the afternoon."

He opened the curtains to let in the sunlight.

Krevie was stunned and realized that Jiang Yi was trying to get her away.

"Okay...Okay." She didn't ask why. The experience of the dream adventure cultivated a tacit understanding between the two of them.

"Then... Navia, let's split up." Yingxia decided, "You and Charlotte go to Ilia Island, and Paimon and I will go to that place."

It happened too suddenly. If they had a few more days, they would have obtained solid evidence of the other party's crime.

Was it the inquiry and investigation in Baisong Town yesterday that alarmed the other party?

"Okay! I believe you. Be careful." Navia stretched out her fist and bumped it with Ying's. "My partner, you will definitely return safely."

"Ahem!" Jiang Yi felt that this was true.

Will I make Ying feel uneasy?

He opened the portal.

"Across the door is the Ilias Island Opera House."

"Thank you!" Navia smiled. "Charlotte, just cheer me up when you get there. I'll go and file a complaint against Marcelle..."

Marcelle, President of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce, a fraternal organization of the Thorn Rose.

Someone who has the financial resources, the ability, and is familiar with her whereabouts and can send security agencies to assassinate her... Someone who has a good relationship with her and has watched her grow up since she was a child.

No matter how unwilling you are subjectively, you cannot erase the "truth" brought by the evidence.

Moreover, the other party was present at both the banquet when his father died and the trial of Lini. There was an opportunity to use the water of the primordial fetal sea to dissolve the guards and silence them.

"Let's go here." Ying took out a map and showed it to Jiang Yi.

According to the information provided by Miles, the production site of "Les" is under this water... As the headquarters for the production of "Les", there must be the original fetal sea water... This is the raw material for producing Les.

Maybe... other evidence can be found.

She must break through the guards at the other party's headquarters while Navia and Marcelle are debating the accusation and get enough evidence to return to the opera house.

If Marcelle escapes this time, evidence of the murder may never be found again.

The situation was urgent, so Ying and Paimeng went straight into the door.

Navia and Charlotte also nodded and left.

They would not blame Jiang Yi for standing idly by. After all, gods have their own priorities. But don't think that eating, drinking, having fun and looking for girls is the whole life of the other party.

At least that's just...part of life, right?

The other party was the type who would hide important actions under daily playfulness, and he resolved many crises without anyone knowing.

Krevy made tea, put some snacks in place, and left the hotel.

Although the Fatui did not book the entire hotel as generously as they did in Mond, they still found ways to make the hotel provide convenience to Jiang Yi and themselves.

"Nice to meet you again, Your Majesty the Respected God of the Void, may you be blessed with good health." The sunlight shone obliquely on the sofa, revealing the fourth seat of the Fatui executive officers - the servant - whose half body was in the shadow of the curtains and the other half was illuminated by the sunlight.

The cold, silvery long hair hung on the sofa like a bird's slender tail feathers.

The equally cold silver-white dress had enchanting red gems on it, like spider eyes. She sat politely with her long legs, which was a rare appearance for her, instead of looking down from a high position with her legs crossed and raised.

In her dark pupils, there was a blood-red "X". If one stared at it for a long time, one could see the indescribable darkness and the ominous moon rising from her pupils.

"Lord of the nobles of Kanreya, the red moon has long since fallen into the abyss, and your bloodline has finally become blind. Lord of mercy who leads us, if you still have mercy on the son of man, please drink the wine in this cup."

There are bloodlines, rituals and curses that date back to the ancient days of Kanreya.

——Those who longed for transcendence built countless magnificent towers, praying that the long-gone Red Moon would bring them salvation.

But the astrologers who were denounced as heretics glimpsed the origin of all destinies in the world from the reflection of the false sky.

The Moon... one of the three who weave destiny.

The doubts and anger that could never be extinguished burned across the dreamless land like wildfire, and finally burned into the moonlit palace.

Jiang Yi stared at the servant's eyes for a long time.

He thought that even the servant himself did not fully understand the blood and fire of the evil moon on his body.

Making direct eye contact with the other person is one of the etiquettes, but the relatively weaker or introverted party will always avoid looking first.

The servant did not avoid Jiang Yi's eyes, which were so ordinary that they seemed even more extraordinary.

"I'm glad you still remember our agreement in the desert."

"I didn't come to see you in time, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

She greeted him in a humble tone, like an executive officer in a subordinate position to the Ice Queen.

"I heard that you came to the Buffati Mansion several times. How are those children?"

Even at this moment, she was fighting for the position and initiative in the conversation.

"Those kids were very nice and gave me a lot of gifts in return." Jiang Yi said with a smile, "There was a kid named Eluard who gave me a lot of poisons and medicines; Shapleau... gave me a lot of information about Fusheng Technology Rune Company's competitors in Fontaine; Foltz showed me some small props he made to deal with enemies..."

“They are all very surprising gifts.”

He motioned to the servant to have tea.

The servant picked up the teacup, gently stroked the lid across the cup, and took a sip of tea.

"Shenetsevich, Shenetsevna... children who dare to open their bright eyes in the shadows, children who dare to dance beside the flames."

"In their eyes, this is sharing with their 'family' and 'guests'. They see it as the best hospitality that belongs to them."

she recalled.

"Eluard has an unusual obsession with potions. I forbid her to drink the potions she prepared, but I know... she still often tries to drink them secretly. However, Linny will take the initiative to keep an eye on her and prevent her reckless attempts."

"Shapleau has good stealth skills and has never failed. Even when he was poisoned once, he did not expose himself. He often works in secret with Lini."

"Foltz was a 'bad seed' abandoned by his family. When he was very young, out of curiosity, he strangled the necks of all the pets in the house."

"Linnie and Linnette..."

"After his parents died, he was left on the streets. Through observation, he understood the principles of magicians' magic performances and began to perform... and was adopted by a noble family because of his talent."

"There are some scum among the Fontaine nobles who enjoy pursuing novelties and have taken a liking to Linnet."

"Their 'adoptive father', the noble who used them to expand his social circle, sent Linnet to the 'great noble' without hesitation."

"As nobles who know the rules best, they have many ways to evade the sanctions of Fontaine law."

"I wiped out those two nobles, and invited the parentless girls who were captured in the same way in the mansion of the great noble to become family members of the Hearth House, as well as Linni who was angry at the betrayal of his 'adoptive father'."

Linnet was naturally not harmed.

By saying this, the servant was not using the child's experience to arouse Jiang Yi's sympathy or to package his own character, but just said it out of his mind.

She is the "father" of the children, so perhaps she has something in common with His Majesty the God of Heaven, the "Mother of All Things".

Discussing children is also a part of adults' social interaction.

Then, let’s talk about the past.

"The lady and Piero were the first two executives I met. The first time she came to visit the Hearth House, she was arrogant and not liked by the children. After that, she would bring some gifts every time she visited, and openly said, 'Those who don't like me have no chance.'"

"Children quickly learned to act according to circumstances for gifts, and she accepted them all."

Jiang Yi felt that it was time to summon Shiranui and Yuki Onna, the heirs to the power of lady's wishes.

Everyone in the world always has another side that most people cannot understand. Many times it is not deliberately hidden, but a gentleness that can only be shown at specific times.

"I guess she enjoys the feeling of having children around her. This may be due to her inner loneliness..." The servant put down the teacup, "Now... can she reunite with her dead lover?"

this is a problem.

"Of course!" Jiang Yi responded. The lady's soul will reunite with Rustam's soul. Both of them have left a mark in history and can be called "heroic spirits."

"Heroes" are not just heroes, but all the protagonists of historical epics.

"I'm really happy for her." The servant didn't smile, but his words were sincere and pure. His expression of neither happiness nor anger was part of his daily life and would not change because of anything.

"Your Majesty, God Xuhuang, likes cake?" She looked at the snacks on the table.

"It was prepared by a girl." Jiang Yi replied, "She asked me what I should prepare to entertain today's guests. I said... you can prepare what you like, because in most meetings about serious matters, snacks are just a garnish. If you can't figure out the other party's taste, it's better to bring out what you think is good."

The servant smiled and said, "Your Majesty is quite frank."

"Is it the girl wearing a flame feather robe who appeared beside you and Furninna yesterday?"

Jiang Yi nodded: "It's a beautiful flame, isn't it? It has the same source as your power, but it's different."

"..." The servant lowered his eyes, which was rare, and looked at the red tea in the cup that looked like a blood-red full moon.

"Legend has it that by the time the dark sun shines everywhere, the name of the Red Moon will have long since faded away along with the red color, and only the name of the Evil Moon will remain on the filthy remains. No one, whether it is the impure ones who have been cursed, or the pure ones who have not been tainted by fate, will consider themselves followers of the Moon Remains anymore." Jiang Yi picked up the teacup and blew on it. The black tea in his hand rippled, as if complementing the black tea in the servant's hand.
