Chapter 132 Solving the Serial Disappearances of Girls!

Back in Baisong Town, Navia led Gu Jing and his group on a tour of the headquarters of the Thorn Rose Society, which was designed to resemble a huge and magnificent steamship.

It is both the family business of the Rose Society and the legacy left to her by her father, Carles, before his death. It symbolizes voyages, opportunities, conquests, and ambitions, and it also symbolizes the bright future of her family's Rose Society.

She then turned to her father’s right-hand men, Miles and Silver.

Upon seeing Gu Jing and his group, the experienced butler Myles knew that his young mistress had met some benefactors.

When Navia asked him about what happened back then, he immediately told the truth: Kares did discover the mastermind's secret, but he couldn't hold on any longer, and the doctor said that his body at that time would not live for more than 5 years.

Unfortunately, this secret wasn't enough to truly expose the mastermind behind the scenes. In addition, Navia was also targeted by the mastermind as their next target.

After much deliberation, her father, Kares, ultimately chose to keep the secret and use it as leverage to force the mastermind behind the scenes to be wary of the Rose Society, thus protecting Navia from harm. He himself died in the duel.

Although the Rose Society declined as a result, the mastermind behind it was indeed wary of it, and Navia is still safe to this day.

After hearing this, Yingmei and the others present couldn't help but sigh. Navia was the most shocked and even found it hard to accept.

Her father had always been very serious with her and rarely shared his feelings with her. She herself thought this was because her mother had died in childbirth.

As a result, this belated fatherly love really broke her defenses.

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

It took her a long time to calm down again.

He publicly vowed, "I will give everyone an explanation! Whether they are the missing persons or the victims..."

"Or perhaps it's myself!"

******

Witnessing this determination, Gu Jing nodded slightly. Out of respect, he did not interfere, and the old butler, Myles, also recounted what happened back then.

Back then, a beverage called "Le Si" was popular in Baisong Town. It was extremely addictive.

To protect the safety of the townspeople of Baisong, Carles used strong measures to prohibit the sale of Les. Even when threatened and bribed by Les's manufacturer, he never yielded and successfully persuaded Jacques, a Les merchant with a conscience, to cooperate with him and destroy Les's business from the inside.

Furthermore, following Les's clues, Carles discovered that it was actually related to the serial disappearances of teenage girls, which led him to begin investigating the case.

But he soon received an anonymous letter from the mastermind, which said that Navia was the next victim.

Realizing that there were informants around him, but not knowing who the mastermind was, Carles shared the clues he had found with many of his confidants.

They also threatened the mastermind behind the scenes, saying that once Navia disappeared, those who knew the secret would immediately expose the matter of Les and the disappearance case.

The mastermind behind the disappearance also warned Carles again that if he revealed the secret, he would fight him to the death.

At the subsequent banquet, a shooting occurred, and Carles was accused of murder. The victim was none other than the Les businessman, Jacques.

This is undoubtedly a case of the mastermind silencing witnesses and framing someone! But not wanting to let the mastermind take further action against Navia and the Rose of Thorns after he is exonerated, Kares chose to sacrifice himself to protect Navia and the Rose of Thorns.

******

After listening, Navia, with tears in her eyes, gave a bitter smile: "He's only willing to tell me now, so this must be his way of explaining things, right? If I hadn't been so determined, you wouldn't have told me this secret, Myles?"

Does he really trust me that much?

If it were me...

"It's impossible to even get to that point?"

Seeing this, the shrewd and experienced Miles knew what she was struggling with.

He gave her a gentlemanly bow: "I think you've misunderstood, Miss. What the boss wanted to give you wasn't an umbrella, but a sword."

"If the boss is fortunate enough to hear what you're saying now, you want to give an explanation to everyone involved in this matter..."

"He will be very pleased."

Upon hearing this, Navia wiped away her tears: "Perhaps, Myles, what exactly is the crucial clue he's hiding?"

"It's where Les is manufactured."

"In addition, we followed the clues upwards and then screened them."

"The suspects currently identified."

There are three main ones...

******

Before leaving Baisong Town, Navia led everyone to visit and comfort Jacques' widow and orphans.

Following the directions of the old butler Myles, they arrived at the location where Les was made, which was underwater.

More accurately, it is an underwater ruin. The interior was not submerged and many traps were set up to prevent it from being discovered.

After overcoming numerous obstacles and relying on their wisdom to solve the mystery, Gu Jing and his group finally found the mastermind at the end of the secret realm.

Yes, catch him red-handed on the spot!

Upon seeing his familiar face, Navia's eyes filled with shock and anger: "Marcel! It really is you!"

The original Marcel was still standing in front of the fetal seawater pool, sighing with a sorrowful expression.

That's when they were suddenly discovered.

Having done many wrong things, he was also terrified and horrified: "How...how did you find this place?"

"Wait! I understand!"

"It's Kares!"

"Damn it!"

Realizing the reason in an instant, Marcell's expression turned sinister, and she casually picked up the bottle containing the saline solution:

"Since you've discovered it."

"Then you can all stay here!"

As he spoke, he forcefully threw the bottle of fetal seawater in his hand towards Gu Jing and the others.

Just as the enraged Navia drew her weapon to attack, Gu Jing, who had remained silent until now, finally stepped in.

With a wave of his hand, he created a verdant barrier to separate the splashing seawater and also to stop Navia and the others from their actions.

They saw two humanoid demon armored figures suddenly attack and subdue Marcel, who was trying to escape.

He also offered an explanation: "Everyone be careful. This is the water of the primordial womb. If a Fontaine is touched, they will be dissolved."

******

Upon hearing these words, and seeing Marcellus, who had been knocked unconscious by the humanoid demon armor and thrown over, Yingmei and the others present stopped what they were doing.

However... the people of Fontainebleau are dissolved when they come into contact with the water of the Primordial Sea of ​​Immortality? The reason is still unknown, and it is quite puzzling to people.

Startled, Paimon looked around, then asked curiously, "This... pink ornament, hairband, necklace, and makeup case... isn't this the place where Les is made? Why are these things here?"

Upon hearing this, Navia and the others, who quickly realized what was happening, widened their eyes in surprise: "—!!!"

"This, this, this..."

"These must be the belongings of victims in the serial disappearances of teenage girls!"

"So many boxes mean..."

The conversation abruptly ended there, Charlotte's eyes filled with terror. But it wasn't just her; looking at the pile of relics, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Damn bastard!"

"Marcelle!!!"

An enraged Navia stepped forward and began kicking Marcellus repeatedly. Clarin, as an enforcer, did not stop her. Gu Jing... he remained silent throughout.

Chapter 133 Ms. Fufu: Calm down! This is the Mo Mang Palace!

That evening, after returning to Fontaine, wanting to give everyone an explanation, Navia and the others handed Marcell over to the police patrol team responsible for patrolling the streets.

They discovered that the person they had captured, Marcellus, was the real culprit in the series of missing girls, and that he had brought with him many personal belongings and crucial evidence. The security guard was also shocked when he revealed this unexpected news.

It is said that this afternoon, Datalia, the executor of the Fools from the Kingdom of Winter, was accused by the water goddess Funina of being the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of girls!

Moreover, Dadalia even tried to resist arrest!

As a result, he was arrested on the spot by the Supreme Judge Navilette and is now imprisoned in Mero Petersburg!

However, the evidence provided by Navia and others is indeed sufficient to prosecute Marcellus, and the specific court date will be announced later.

******

Arriving at Mo Mang Palace with very mixed feelings, Gu Jing and the others saw Ms. Fu Fu looking guilty and embarrassed.

Tap, tap, tap—

With his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the sofa, and Arecino massaging his shoulders behind him, Gu Jing looked at Ms. Fufu.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he spoke with a look of deep emotion: "So... what exactly is the reason?"

Upon hearing this, Navia, Charlotte, Clarin, Yingmei, Paimon, and Aregino all looked at Ms. Fou.

They truly did not expect that while they were trying to find the truth, this Lady Funina would actually betray them like this.

Ms. Fufu felt very guilty as she was being watched by eyes that were either angry, cold, inquisitive, or spectatory.

But she eventually told the truth: "He provoked me first! He even said he wanted to fight me, of course I disagreed..."

"But he still relentlessly pursued me!"

"There's no other way, I have to go to court against him!"

Everyone: "???"

Completely baffled by her thought process, Yingmei and the others were utterly perplexed by this action.

As we all know, the serial disappearances of young girls began 20 years ago. But D'Artagnan is obviously a young man no more than 25 years old. Could it be that D'Artagnan started committing transnational crimes when he was only 5 years old?

And yet, this ridiculous accusation actually succeeded! Is the trial in Fontaine really this absurd?
