After a period of conversation, Thierry understood Navia's purpose and then shared the information he knew.

He was also shocked, never expecting that D'Artagnan would actually be put on trial.

And the Fontaine Police Force doesn't have the habit of working overtime. They only carry out things like arresting people in the middle of the night if there are major or classified operations.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing, so in Thierry's view, this matter was too unusual!

Thierry, as a member of the guard, was also quite aware of the true extent of the Fools' power in Fontainebleau.

Even knowing this, Thierry was still puzzled, because unless there was real evidence, the Fontaine Police would never make an arrest.

After some discussion, Thierry also suggested that they act together, but Navia refused, so he could only obediently go back to sleep.

"How is it?" Navia asked Su Hao, wondering if there were any flaws in his defenses.

“No.” Su Hao shook his head slightly and said, “He has no problems, and when questioned about the security team, he didn’t seem particularly shocked by the fact that there was a mole in the security team.”

"Besides that, he also believes that your father was wronged, and he is very firm in his attitude towards [Les] and the [serial disappearance of girls].

"We just want to bring those people to justice."

At this point, Chiori looked at Navia and said slowly, "In that case, there's only one suspect left."

Navia remained silent. Yes, there were three key suspects, two of whom were innocent, and the last one was Marcel, the president of the Cabrière Trading Company who had watched Navia grow up.

To be honest, Navia didn't think Marcell was the mastermind, after all, he was her elder and had no reason to do so.

"Let's go see that Marcellus." Su Hao was very calm. Regardless of whether the other party was hiding something or not, he would know once he met her.

“Okay.” Navia did not refuse, and at the same time she said, “However, Uncle Marcel lives in Fontaine. After his business grew, he moved out of Baisong Town and has basically lived in Fontaine ever since.”

"In addition, over the years, due to his advanced age and declining health, he has basically settled down there."

“These past few days, he also asked someone to tell me that there is a magic show performance and he wants to take me to see it.”

At this point, Navia sighed. Of the three, the only one she didn't want to be the mole was Marcel.

After all, this uncle was really good to her. When the Rose Society had financial problems, he immediately provided Mora with various resources.

However, due to various circumstances, Uncle Marcel could not provide too much funding, because if he gave funds to the Rose Society unconditionally, the people on the Chamber of Commerce would have some complaints.

In addition, Uncle Marcel's business was also affected after Carles' reputation for injustice spread.

After all, the Rose Society and the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce are brother organizations with such a good relationship that if one of them has a problem, the other will definitely be affected.

Under these circumstances, Uncle Marcel also helped the Rose Society, and Navia saw all of this.

More importantly... the other person watched her grow up and is one of her few remaining relatives. Navia really doesn't want the other person to be a mole or the mastermind behind it all.

“We’ll see for ourselves,” Charlotte said, comforting Navia by noticing her expression. “Maybe Mr. Marcellus is actually a good person.”

"Although the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce doesn't have a great reputation, its president does."

Su Hao, Qian Zhi, and Gan Yu remained silent, as they felt that Marcel was still a strong suspect.

The reason is simple: the other party's identity is too sensitive. He is a Winter People, a merchant, and has a very deep relationship with the Rose Society.

Under these circumstances, the other party should be able to learn about tonight's case immediately.

After all, he was related to Zhi Dong and was a businessman who had been operating in Fontaine for so long and possessed enormous wealth.

In this situation, he is most likely to have framed D'Artagnan and colluded with members of the guard.

However, these are all speculations. We will only know the actual situation by seeing the parties involved.

"Come with me." To save time, Su Hao took out the Seven Thunders of Purification without saying a word, opened the portal, and let Navia and the others come over.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Fontainebleau.

This method drew praise from Navia, Charlotte, and Chiori. As expected of Su Hao, he could accomplish something like this.

Su Hao just smiled and didn't say anything. This was basically a fundamental skill in the Demon God Realm.

On the Abyss Order's side, basically any high-level combatant can accomplish this, since the Abyss Node is quite magical.

After a brief expression of admiration, Navia immediately led Su Hao and his group toward Marcel's residence.

However, when they arrived at Marcel's place, his subordinates told them that Lord Marcel had left Fontaine two days earlier to return to Winter for business.

Chapter 561 The Battle of Baisong Town

At the entrance of Marcel's house, Marcel's subordinates informed Navia and Su Hao's group that his master had left Fontaine two days ago to take care of some business in Winter.

He didn't know what it was about, but it was supposedly a big deal.

Because Navia and Marcell had an exceptionally good relationship, this subordinate was also aware that the president of the Rose Society had a very good relationship with his master, which is why he revealed this important information.

"What?!" Navia was very surprised. She immediately asked, "When is Uncle Marcel coming back? Did he say anything?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss Navia, I'm not quite sure either, but the master said he'll probably be back in the next few days."

"Because he still values ​​going to see the great magician Linney's performance with you."

This left Navia with a very complicated expression, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

It's worth noting that Uncle Marcellus's departure at this critical juncture makes him a suspect, but the problem is... he left two days ago, not today.

If he left today, then it's not so much that he's highly suspicious, but rather that it's almost certain he's the one.

After confirming that Marcel was no longer there, Navia chose to leave, sighing as she didn't know what to say.

“He wasn’t lying,” Su Hao said calmly, looking at Navia. “That’s exactly what Marcellus instructed him to do.”

"However, there is one thing that puzzles this subordinate: Marcel has not returned to Winter for several years, so how did he go back yesterday?"

"And Marcellus didn't tell this subordinate that he would be back in a few days; he only said that to comfort you."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Navia was stunned. Then she said, "What should we do? Now that Uncle Marcel isn't here, we've basically lost all our leads."

Both key suspects have been questioned, but the crucial Marcel had actually left Fontaine two days ago.

Now that all the clues are gone, what should we do?

“Although it’s not nice to say it like this, Navia, I think there’s something wrong with your uncle.” At this moment, Chiori spoke up, her tone serious: “He left two days ago, seemingly clearing himself of suspicion, but there’s actually a huge flaw in his story.”

"Hmm." Gan Yu nodded slightly. She knew a lot of inside information and said, "If I remember correctly, this news was actually spread two days ago."

"Although the card was placed at the very limit, perhaps that Mr. Marcellor obtained first-hand information."

No matter what Su Hao did in Fontainebleau, he would always mention it to Gan Yu, since they had come here for a vacation but ended up getting her involved in all sorts of trouble.

So every time Su Hao saw Gan Yu, he would mention what he had been up to lately, including his meetings with Funina, Chiori, and Charlotte.

Two days ago, on the day Charlotte interviewed Su Hao, if Gan Yu remembered correctly, the interview took place between noon and afternoon.

During this period, if Mr. Marcel's intelligence were accurate, he could have learned of this information on the same day and then plotted to frame D'Artagnan.

This way, he could clear himself of suspicion and arrange more things.

Putting aside other matters, the framing of D'Artagnan and the kidnapping of Andrew's wife and daughters are both factors that have compounded today's events.

“That’s impossible.” Charlotte shook her head quickly, immediately stating, “My news reports are kept extremely confidential, unless… unless…”

At this point, Charlotte seemed to suddenly realize something, her face turning pale. She slowly said, "Unless he also has people in the Steambird newspaper, and those people hold high positions, it's impossible for him to see my report immediately."

"Under normal circumstances, we might be able to investigate who did this, but now it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!!!"

As soon as Charlotte said this, Chiori and Ganyu fell silent, because they wanted to say that if there was a mole in the Steambird Newspaper, then maybe they could continue the investigation based on this clue.

But Charlotte saying that means the difficulty has increased significantly.

How did it turn into finding a needle in a haystack?

Navia looked at Charlotte and asked directly, "Why is this happening? Can't you check the number of reporters who saw them that day?"

"Steambird Newspaper shouldn't have that many people, right?"

Compared to the Fontaine Guard and the Fools, the Steambird Newspaper certainly doesn't have that many people.

"Well..." Charlotte glanced at Su Hao and sighed helplessly, "Because I interviewed Su Hao back then, as soon as the news got out, you can imagine how many reporters from Steambird Newspaper would come looking for him, right?"

"So at least a hundred people saw this report that day, and these hundred people were not just reporters. Even if you wanted to ask them, most of them had probably already left Fontainebleau."

The reporters from Steambird Newspaper are like the wind; most of them were in Fontaine yesterday, and are probably no longer here today.

The same applies to many others; if they try to gather them together in a short time, the opportunity will likely be lost.

"…………"

Su Hao shrugged helplessly, feeling that there had been far too many unexpected events this time, but he was also part of the unexpected.

"Since things have come to this, let's go back to Baisong Town first." Su Hao took out the Seven Thunders of Purification again, indicating that since things had come to this, they could only return to Baisong Town first.

"Why go back to Baisong Town?" Navia asked, puzzled. It seemed like there was nothing she could do there at this point.

“Go pick her up.” Su Hao looked at Navia calmly and said, “You’re familiar with that person, but you probably don’t want to see her.”

"Who?" Navia was slightly taken aback, then her expression changed drastically. "It can't be Navelette, can it?!"

"Huh?" Su Hao exclaimed in surprise, looking at Navia with some curiosity and asking, "Do you have a grudge against Navia?"

Navia's attitude was quite surprising, considering that most people had treated Navia very well during her stay in Fontainebleau.

Furthermore, Vilette is the epitome of Fontaine's majesty, unlike the disgraceful water goddess Funina. In a sense, she can be considered the most just being in Fontaine.

Putting aside everything else, just looking at how they treat the Fools, you can see that if the Fools show any signs of danger...

Navelette immediately went to cause trouble for the other party.

If Funina showed any unusual behavior, then Vilette would also become suspicious of her.

Even earlier, given Su Hao's identity, virtually no one would dare to harm him in any country.

But the moment Villette saw Su Hao, she knew that he had been spying on Fontaine and believed that Su Hao would be a threat to Fontaine.

In this situation, Navelette chose deterrence without hesitation, deciding whether to attack based on Su Hao's answer.

Well, to be honest, Villette's actions at the time, while somewhat excessive, clearly showed that he genuinely wanted to protect Fontaine's safety.

In this situation, Navelette, if not likable, at least no one would dislike him.

"…………"

Navia didn't speak, but quietly clenched her fist and said, "I admire Navelette, at least until my father passed away, I always admired him."

“I believe that justice in Fontaine exists because of him, not because of Miss Furina who always treats trials as a performance.”
