Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"Only dissolve the Fontaine people?" Xia Worei frowned.

"Yes, I don't know why either. I'm not from Fontainebleau, and I drank the water from the Primal Sea of ​​Emptiness and nothing happened to me, except for hearing some strange noises from the spring."

"Spring water?" Luna asked curiously.

"The one in front of the opera house..."

Chiori seemed to be deep in thought: "Lu Jingquan?"

"Yes, yes, I guess it's not the people of Fontaineble who drink it; it only increases their perception of water elements."

"Isn't it often said that water is something that gathers the emotions of many living beings? In fact, those 'dissolving maidens' I obtained also have a lot of emotions... Ah! It hurts!"

Luna exerted a little force, her smile remaining unchanged.

"Do you know who you've been dealing with all this time?"

"I know, I know. Although he hid his name, the sound of the fountain tells me that his name is Vasher..."

Washa?

"I've never heard of that name before," Navia mused.

Luna leaned down and whispered, "Then who else? Who else is your 'partner' or 'business partner'?"

Montgomery looked hesitant.

Clarinde simply pressed the gun against the back of his head: "One, two—"

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, one of them is from the law enforcement court… cough… ah…”

Suddenly, Montgomery began foaming at the mouth.

Luna moved her foot away and found that his eyes were rolled back, and his hand was unconsciously clutching his throat, but he could only make incoherent, foamy sounds.

"It's poison. He's been poisoned," Xia Worei immediately crouched down and diagnosed.

"Cough... Ugh... Damn it..."

The last memory flashed through Montgomery's mind.

The Les he drank last night was problematic, and the mastermind behind it was self-evident. With his last ounce of strength, Montgomery hoarsely shouted:

"Washe—!!"

Then it suddenly stopped moving.

Navia avoided eye contact: "That's terrible."

“…We’re missing a witness.” Xia Worei slowly stood up.

“But we’ve learned a lot of crucial information, and there seems to be another room over there.” Chiori gestured with her chin toward the door at the end of the room.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door.

"Let's go."

This is the final destination of the operation.

And after that...

Xia Wore glanced at Luna, who seemed lost in thought, and then took a step forward.

...It's just a return to where it all started.

The group headed towards the door.

As she walked past Luna, Xia Worei stopped and tossed Mora back to her.

"Well done, Phantom Thief White Cat. Also, thank you, I don't want to be dissolved."

Luna pinched Mora's finger and whispered, "Because you're scared?"

"Correct."

Xia Worei said coldly, "But I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid that after I dissolve, you will still be at large, just like other criminals."

Her answer was without the slightest hesitation, and fear never flashed in her eyes.

Luna closed her eyes: "Captain, you're really persistent with me. I'm different from you; I'm quite afraid of this kind of thing."

Who would believe that? If they were afraid, could they still act so nonchalantly?

Xia Wore didn't believe her, but Luna's whispered words reached her ear:

"Because I'm afraid that the captain won't be able to pursue me anymore."

Mora pressed it to her lips, and Luna then put it in Xia Wore's pocket.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, Miss Xia Wore. Fontaine can't afford to lose a perfect special patrol team captain."

With that, Luna followed through the last door.

Xia Worei: "......"

Taking out the Mora, Xia Wore looked at the barely visible lip print left on it and pressed her thumb down to wipe it.

It's been wiped away.

But I always felt that the gloves were stained with this mark as a result.

...Go back and change your gloves.

She didn't want any trace of the phantom thief, White Cat, to remain on her.

No trace is acceptable.

95: The Phantom Thief and the Reporter (4 Updates)

The room at the far end was clearly a studio.

Despite calling himself the master of the magic gems, Mongot's workshop resembled a chemistry research lab. While minerals, gems, and metals were present, they were mostly in bottles and jars containing various preparations.

Claude picked up the research report on the table and skimmed through it:

"He is studying the original water of the womb that he obtained from Vashj."

“That’s not surprising,” Chiori said.

A large dose can kill the people of Fontainebleau invisibly;

Even a small dose can immerse everyone in this slow-acting poison;

It's practically the perfect tool for committing crimes.

Navia hesitated to touch the bottles and jars, asking, "Any new discoveries?"

Luna scanned the room, and the thief's vision was activated.

"Hmm~"

I found something good.

She plunged her sword between the bricks, triggering a mechanism that slowly opened a hidden door. Inside was a mountain of Mora, a dazzling golden expanse that was almost blinding.

“So many Mora!?” Navia exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected of a phantom thief, he could smell the money right away," Clarinde praised.

Although her expression and tone were indifferent, there was not a trace of praise in them.

Luna twirled a strand of Clorind's hair: "Miss Clorind seems to have some misunderstanding about me. What I like is not treasure, but precious objects."

"For example, Lady Funina?"

"See, now you understand me."

"...If you dare to do that, I'll have no choice but to fight you with my sword." Clarind frowned slightly.

Luna lightly leaped into the vault: "It's alright, one more person chasing me isn't a bad thing, don't you think, Miss Chavore?"

Xia Wore offered no comment.

There wasn't anything of value in the vault, and Mora wouldn't even look at it. The only thing that interested her was an exquisite musket hanging on the wall.

Luna took the gun.

Small and exquisite, and its structure seems to be different from the one she has in her hand.

"This is... a new type of gun that will soon be assigned to the Special Patrol Team."

Despite the exquisite modifications, the Chavoret who tried it still recognized it at a glance.

"Why would he have something like this? This new type of musket should only be available internally." Xia Worei frowned.

"The answer is simple, didn't he already say so...?"

Luna smoothly cocked the gun and drew another pistol.

I can't bear to throw away the old model, so I'll just use it as a dual-wielding gun.

She nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The Court of Justice has its people. Getting their hands on a small handgun is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

As for her taking the gun without permission, Xia Wore decided to ignore it.

The Mora was still in her pocket.

We are currently in the cooperation phase.

..........................

Although the source of the girl's tears was resolved, the facts she saw and heard still weighed heavily on Navia's heart.

They have people inside the law enforcement court;

The lingering echoes of the deceased were divided into countless parts and made into inferior "tears of a young girl";

However, they are much closer to the truth.

Vasher. This person is probably the real mastermind, the big boss of Les Industries. As long as we can find this person, the truth should come to light.

Then, we will clear the father's name and the deceased's name.
