Navia patted her full chest, about to indicate that it was fine.
Then she blinked, as if she had misheard something, and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Wait, Su Hao, who did you say?"
Myles was also stunned. Who? D'Artagnan? Was it the one he knew?
“The son of the Executor of the Fools, Tartaglia,” Su Hao said calmly, looking at Navia and Myles. “He is currently suspected of a series of missing teenage girls and the kidnapping of other men’s wives and daughters.”
P.S.: "I'll try my best to update tomorrow! Heading home today!!!"
Chapter 556 The Reliable Old Butler
? ? ? ?
At this moment, Navia and Miles were both completely bewildered, and they wondered if they had misheard.
Tadalia? Is it the Tadalia they know? The son of the Executor of the Fools.
How did he become a suspect in a series of missing teenage girls and the kidnapping of other men's wives and daughters?
Hmm, the former is impossible, the latter... does the Fatui executive like this kind of thing?
Isn't it said that the Fatui Enforcer Tartaglia isn't interested in women? He's only interested in strong people!
“This is a setup,” Navia said decisively, immediately concluding that it was a setup.
Are you kidding me? A suspect in a series of missing girls? If it were any other Enforcer, such as a servant or a doctor, Navia would definitely trust them.
After all, these two are well-known executors of the Fools, so it's not entirely surprising that they would do something like this.
But D'Artagnan? How old is he? I heard he's only nineteen! A nineteen-year-old! Committing a crime from twenty years ago?
Impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!!
“Young Miss is right.” Miles nodded decisively, agreeing with Navia that it was a setup, and a rather low-level one at that.
What a joke! Although he hadn't heard the details yet, Miles felt that no matter what, this case had framed the Fools' Enforcers.
It's bound to be a wasted effort, since everyone has witnessed the immense power of the Fools.
In this situation, framing the Executor of the Fools is not as simple as framing the Master.
The master was framed, and all the evidence pointed to him, so there was nothing he could do.
Now that the person who framed him has become the executor of the Fools, Miles is actually quite excited, because this means the Fools will be going head-to-head with the mastermind behind it all.
With the help of the Fools, we can find the mastermind behind everything, no matter what!
To accomplish what the master was unable to do back then.
“Yes, but who could have known that D'Artagnan would just point at someone and melt that person away?” Charlotte shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.
"Huh?" Navia and Miles looked extremely shocked.
"Oh no! Young Miss! Eh?! Lord Su Hao, you're here too?!"
At this moment, Sirf rushed over from outside. He was quite surprised to see Su Hao and the others, clearly not expecting them to be there as well.
"What's wrong, Sylph? Why are you in such a hurry?" This was the first time Navia had seen Sylph in such a rush, so she immediately said, "Don't rush, tell me slowly."
Sylph glanced at Su Hao and his group. Although he didn't know why they were there, he still said, "The Fools' Enforcer, Dadalia, is accused of being a suspect in the serial disappearances of young girls."
“Silver, we are aware of this news.” Miles looked at Silver and said calmly, “Lord Su Hao has already passed on this information. Is there any other important information?”
Sylph was stunned again, clearly not expecting that Lord Su Hao and his group had come here to deliver this intelligence.
He then quickly added, "Besides that, D'Artagnan dissolved a man. Although we don't know how he did it, it was a pretty serious matter."
"And it is said that many people witnessed this scene at the time, including the guards, some Fontainebleau merchants, and even the Fools."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the trial will take place tomorrow... no, tonight."
Although Sylph was wearing sunglasses, his expression was equally solemn, because he also did not think that D'Artagnan was a suspect in the serial disappearances of girls.
But there were simply too many witnesses and too much evidence. According to Fontaine, this was a trial with no suspense whatsoever.
Even a fool knows how this trial should be decided.
"tonight?!"
Navia froze. She glanced at the time and then exclaimed, "No!!! We can't let D'Artagnan be the scapegoat!"
“Young Miss is right.” Myles nodded solemnly. The reason why so many people are still paying attention to the serial disappearances of teenage girls is because there is no killer.
If the murderer is caught at this point, the level of public attention will definitely decrease significantly.
In this way, even if the case is solved afterward, it will not attract the attention of others, a situation that is not uncommon in Fontainebleau.
The case has a resolution, and the citizens of Fontainebleau are saying, "Alright, alright, we already know about the twist, let's get to the next case (trial)!"
And at this critical juncture, if the Fools' Enforcer is arrested, it will be truly big news!
Similarly... how many Fools are there in Fontainebleau now? They will definitely need to expend a lot of manpower and resources to resolve the prophecy.
What would happen if, instead of helping when the prophecy foretells an impending disaster, the Fools chose to kick someone when they're down?
This is not just a simple case of a series of missing girls; it is a truly significant diplomatic incident in Fontainebleau.
If the Fools' attitude towards the Fontaine prophecy changes from neutral to kicking someone when they're down, frankly... that would be a very bad thing for the people of Fontaine.
"Are you so well-informed?" Su Hao looked at Sylph with some surprise. He and the others had watched the whole process of D'Artagnan being framed and then came over without stopping.
In this situation, Sylph learned of this information immediately and even planned to report it to Navia.
Xia Wore also looked at Sylph with a rather subtle gaze; the speed at which the other party obtained information was indeed a bit too fast.
Even the experienced Gan Yu looked at Silver with considerable suspicion, because in this situation...
With such excellent information, either the other party is truly capable, or... the mastermind deliberately gave him the information so that he could pass it on to Navia, causing the Rose Gang to get involved.
“Hmm.” Sylph seemed to have noticed Su Hao and the others’ suspicions as well, and he immediately said, “I heard the information while I was having a late-night snack. It seems that someone deliberately exaggerated this matter.”
"That's why I came here to report to the young lady as soon as possible, because I didn't want the serial disappearances of girls to end in such an absurd way."
Sylph was very serious; he knew very well what kind of obsession his young mistress had with the serial disappearances of teenage girls.
When he learned that D'Artagnan was very likely the culprit in the series of missing girls, his first reaction was confusion, followed by seriousness, and then he rushed back without stopping.
Seeing Sylph's serious expression, Navia and Myles chose to trust him, but the others looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao nodded slightly. He had just read Sylph's thoughts, and the other party was not lying.
Xia Worei frowned when she saw Su Hao nod, and slowly said, "This means something."
"The mastermind behind this deliberately orchestrated this event and planned to escalate it in the middle of the night."
"But... what's the difference between making a scene in the middle of the night and making a scene tomorrow?"
Gan Yu also shook her head, because no matter how you look at it, this matter was destined to escalate.
Since things are destined to escalate, what difference does it make whether it happens now or tomorrow?
Chiori and Charlotte were also somewhat confused about the current situation, and Su Hao was also pondering this matter.
Because no matter how you look at it, it seems unnecessary.
"Is there a possibility?" Ella spoke up at this moment, looking at everyone calmly, "that this matter wasn't done by a mastermind, but rather that someone else deliberately spread it?"
Black Ella nodded slightly, then calmly said, "After all, the people of Fontainebleau seem to particularly enjoy gossip?"
"…………"
Upon hearing this possibility, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Navia seemed a little embarrassed, Miles covered his face, and Sylph maintained his aloof demeanor.
"Is that how it is?" Charlotte suddenly realized, as if she understood something, and said, "So, the leak of this information was actually caused by the people who were there earlier?"
"Or perhaps it was leaked by those businessmen? The speed at which this spread is astounding."
Charlotte was quite surprised, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because that's just how things are in Fontainebleau.
Xia Worei also looked helpless, seemingly unsure of what to say for a moment, as this reasoning seemed quite reasonable.
The gossip-loving nature of the people of Fontaine is well-known throughout Teyvat, although it is human nature to enjoy gossip.
But the people of Fontaineble seem to be particularly keen on gossiping?
This might be related to the prevailing atmosphere in Fontainebleau.
"Ahem... Anyway, let's talk about Tartaglia first." Navia coughed a few times, changing the subject.
The fervent gossip-loving attitude of the people of Fontainebleau left even Navia somewhat helpless, unsure of what to say for a moment. So she could only get to the point and start by talking about Tartaglia's affairs.
Su Hao looked at Navia and said calmly, "Regarding D'Artagnan, it's actually very simple. We were there at the time."
"Originally, we were investigating the girl's dissolution and entrusted Charlotte to pass on the information, but then..."
Su Hao felt that everyone present was trustworthy, so he recounted everything that had happened that night, with a particular emphasis on how Tartaglia had casually pointed a finger and turned people into "dissolved" objects.
And there are moles within both the Fools and the Fontaine government.
"…………"
After hearing all this, Navia couldn't help but gasp.
Myles and Silver both looked shocked, not expecting so many things to happen tonight, and... the fact that there was a mole within the Guard and the Fools was equally shocking.
“If that’s the case, then we’re in trouble.” The old butler, Myles, looked particularly grave. “With so many witnesses and physical evidence, D’Artaglia will be convicted no matter what.”
"And this situation is much more troublesome than the one the master had that time. Even though the master bought enough time, it was completely useless."
"In other words, unless we find enough evidence before the trial begins, it is impossible to overturn the case of that Fool's Enforcer."
Xia Worei nodded calmly, then looked at Navia and the others and said, "Yes, that's why we came to find you, because you should have clues and evidence in the case of the serial disappearances of girls."
"The guards can't be relied on, and the Fools are also investigating the intelligence. Now Fontaine's hope rests on you."
Xia Wore was not lying. Based on the current situation, Fontaine is in a rather delicate state. If not handled properly, it could lead to a breakdown in relations between the two countries.
The prophecy of Fontainebleau, which seems destined to bring misfortune, is about to arrive.
With time running out for all parties, they can only hope that Navia has enough clues to help them find the mastermind within this urgent timeframe.
“This…” Navia looked rather troubled. She sighed and said, “I would also like to provide you with clues, but unfortunately… the clues I have been searching for over the years are not worth mentioning at all.”
"Because the killer in the serial disappearances of girls was hiding too well. Even when the Rose Society did its best to investigate the clues, it did not obtain any valuable clues at all."
