Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

Clorinde was speechless. After a while of silence, she finally uttered the word "yes".

"Well, tell me what happened in detail first."

Lu Sheng walked to the sofa and sat down, making Sherlock Holmes' signature move, putting his hands on the armrests, fingers together, crossing his legs and listening carefully to the crime.

Clorinde then recounted the story of the "Unjust Caress" from beginning to end.

The former president of the Rose of the Thorns, Cares, shot and killed his good friend Jacques at a banquet and was arrested on the spot. During the interrogation after the incident, Cares said nothing, neither admitted the crime nor defended himself, but chose a judicial duel to escape trial.

During the duel, Carres was determined to die and refused to admit defeat. Clorinde, as the duel agent, had no choice but to kill him.

His death also nailed their family's bad reputation firmly to the pillar of shame.

Clorinde has always felt guilty about this because she could see that Carres was determined to die, and she always felt that he chose to die in order to protect some secret.

However, due to insufficient evidence and the death of the criminal, Chief Justice Navilette declared the case closed, and no official investigation was conducted.

Only Carres' daughter Navia is still persistently investigating the truth of her father's death.

Entrusted by Cares before his death, Clorinde has been secretly protecting Navia in recent years, but Navia has always regarded her as the murderer of her father and is very cold towards her.

After listening to Clorinde's story, Lu Sheng opened his eyes from meditation.

"Since someone is still investigating, it's easy. I want to meet Navia, the new president of the Thorn Rose Society. Can you help me contact her?"

Clorinde's face flashed with embarrassment, "It's possible...but..."

"Don't worry. I can tell that the relationship between you and her is very complicated. As long as the truth comes out in the end, the relationship between you will definitely be eased, right?"

"You don't want to spend your whole life in her hatred, do you?"

Clorinde gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see Navia!"

Fontaine: Chapter 149: Making a Big Thing

On the most prosperous streets of Fontaine, all kinds of upper-class people appear one after another.

Navia, wearing a golden dress, came to her favorite restaurant and sat down in the window seat as usual.

Behind her were two neatly dressed bodyguards, Myles and Silver, who followed their young lady closely, pulled out a chair for her and unfolded the menu.

"Let's have a steak today..."

Navia glanced at the menu, and for the first time, a look of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

She felt her wallet; it was even emptier than it had been the week before.

The income of the Thorn Rose Society is getting lower and lower. If this continues, the funds will be completely exhausted.

No, I can’t dine at such high-end places frequently in the future. Sometimes cooking something at home can be a nice touch.

"Another soup, that's all."

Myles, the butler and bodyguard, asked with concern: "Miss, are you in a bad mood? Why do you eat so little?"

"I'm not very hungry."

Navia answered casually, saying that the poor performance of the Thorn Rose Society was due to her as the president, and she didn't want Miles to worry too much about it.

The key is to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

After ordering the food, Navia stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure passing by outside.

Clorinde!

Navia immediately turned her head back, not wanting to be seen by Clorinde.

Because of her father, her relationship with this childhood playmate became quite complicated, which cannot be described in words.

Never seeing each other again may be the best way to deal with this relationship.

However, what she didn't expect was that Clorinde didn't just pass by, but turned and walked into the restaurant and walked towards her.

Navia lowered her head and pretended not to see it.

"Navia, I have something to tell you."

Clorinde's voice reached Navia's ears. She knew she couldn't hide anymore, so she raised her head, glanced at Clorinde coldly, and asked, "It's my meal time now. I don't want to talk to anyone. Please leave."

"It's about your father's case."

"Isn't the case already declared closed? What else is there to say? Is the court going to dig my father out of the grave and interrogate him again?"

Myles' mouth trembled. He wanted to advise the young lady that as a lady, she should not say such words.

But he knew very well that Clorinde and Master Carres were eternal thorns in the eldest lady's heart, and it was understandable that they would say some extreme words when they were emotional.

Clorinde still said calmly: "There is someone who wants to help you find out the truth of the incident that year. He believes that your father is innocent."

Navia narrowed her eyes suddenly, "Who?"

"I."

Lu Sheng's sudden appearance startled everyone.

Silver shuddered all over because this person suddenly appeared from behind him.

"When did you come in? Why didn't I see you?"

"Don't stress. There are so many things you don't understand every day. Why bother with this one?"

As Lu Sheng said this, he took out a handwritten business card from his chest and handed it to Navia.

"Dear Miss Navia, please allow me to introduce myself. The person standing before you now is the future greatest detective of Fontaine, the nemesis of evil, the savior of the wronged, and the Black Cat Detective Agency - Sherlock Moriarty."

Furninna: Don’t you laugh when you say something like that?

Navia took the business card and glanced at the other party.

She knew this man. Wasn't he the one who defeated Clorinde in the judicial duel?

How did he suddenly become a detective?

And how did he and Clorinde end up together?

"Claulinde, is he the person you are talking about? Don't be ridiculous. How could an outsider like him investigate a case that happened so many years ago? I think you are crazy!"

Lu Sheng: "Please don't target my apprentice. I wanted to challenge a mystery that no one else could solve, so I asked Clorinde to introduce me."

"apprentice?"

The Navia trio exclaimed in unison.

Clorinde avoided Navia's surprised gaze and whispered, "Isn't it normal for the strong to be teachers to the weak? Why are you so excited?"

No one could have imagined that Clorinde, who was hailed as the strongest duel agent, the future ruler of the Shadow Court, and who was highly expected by everyone, would actually stoop to become an apprentice to an outsider from Winter Solstice.

"Mr. Sherlock, you are interested in my father's case for no reason. May I ask what benefit this will bring you?"

Navia turned and asked about Lu Sheng.

"Of course, as the first case in my detective career, if I can solve the mystery of the Carres case, my reputation will spread throughout Fontaine. Then I will have endless commissions and earn a lot of Mora."

Navia sneered and said, "We in Fontaine have been investigating for so many years and still have no clues. How can I trust you, a foreigner who just came to Fontaine?"

"Look down on outsiders? Sometimes problems that can't be solved internally require a little help from outside."

Lu Sheng stretched out a finger.

"How about this? As this is my first case, I will only charge 1 Mora for this commission. It's a good price and I won't cheat anyone."

"1 Mora? Really? You can't even buy a piece of candy with this little money."

"The meaning is greater than the value! What do you think? Do you want me to investigate this case? I have some secret clues that are unknown to the public~"

Navia immediately fell into the trap carefully prepared by Lu Sheng.

"What clues?!"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "This is the basis for me to solve the case, how can you just say it out loud?"

"Okay! I hire you to investigate my father's case, 1 Mora, right? I'll give it to you now!"

Navia took out a Mora from her wallet and handed it over.

Lu Sheng shook his head and said, "I am a man of rules. I won't take money unless the case is solved. You can keep this 1 Mora for now. It won't be too late to give it to me after everything is over."

Navia and the two bodyguards looked at each other.

What a strange guy...

She put Mora away again and asked, "Where are you going to start?"

"To thoroughly investigate this case, there is a prerequisite, which is to obtain the permission of the Fontaine officials. Miss Navia, as the daughter of Mr. Carres, you are qualified to ask the Fontaine to reinvestigate this case."

Navia sighed helplessly, "I have tried before, but Chief Justice Navillait always refuses to retrial... I have already given up hope..."

"Then please try one last time, but don't go to the chancellor privately. Instead, make a big deal about it."

"Making a big fuss?"

Navia looked puzzled.

Lu Sheng nodded. "Let me give you an idea. Go to the Steambird Newspaper Office and bring a reporter with you. Also, hire more extras to surround the Mo Mang Palace. It would be best if you could hold up some banners and shout some slogans. In short, the loudest the better."

When your demands are ignored, it would be helpful to appropriately use external means to escalate the situation and replace weak voices with public opinion.

Fontaine: Chapter 150: Funinna vs. Navelette

The next morning, a large group of people suddenly gathered in front of the entrance of Momang Palace. They held banners in their hands with slogans such as "Reexamine the case!" and "Restore the name of the unjust Kares!"

The sudden unrest caused the mechanical guards of the Law Enforcement Court to rush to block the entrance of Mo Mang Palace, fearing that the protesting crowd would rush into Mo Mang Palace and commit misconduct.

Special patrol team captain Xia Wole personally led the team to maintain order.

This time, Navia asked Charlotte, a legendary reporter from Steambird Newspaper, to come to her aid. As a deal, she agreed to be interviewed by Charlotte afterwards and reveal what a day in the life of the president of the Rose Thorn Society is like.

Holding a camera, Charlotte took several pictures of the onlookers shouting protest slogans and the mechanical guards standing in a row to keep the protesting crowd out.

She has even thought of tomorrow's news headlines.

If Navia wins today, she will write "Following public opinion, Yellow Rose applies for a retrial of the old case, and the Fontaine guards violently expel the protesters!"

If Navia loses, I will write "Justice Enforcement! Fontaine strongly defends the law, and the mechanical guards bravely resist the rioting crowd!"

Holding a musket, Xia Wole looked around at the noisy crowd and asked, "Navia! What do you want to do? Gathering such a group of people to block the entrance of Mo Mang Palace, are you planning to rebel?"

Navia was not willing to be outdone. She stepped forward alone and said to everyone in a loud voice: "I am just reasonably asking Fontaine to review the case in question! We have no weapons and will not use violence! You are not qualified to talk to me. I want to see the Grand Justice!"

Chavore was in a dilemma for a moment. Faced with these unarmed people, she certainly could not order their forced expulsion, as this would violate the laws of Fontaine.

But letting them mess around outside Mo Mang Palace like this is not a solution.

Helpless, she had to go to the Chief Justice to discuss a solution.

Xia Wole walked into Momang Palace, and was met by several reviewers who asked nervously about the situation outside.

"Don't worry, the guards of the Law Court will protect you all. I am going to report this matter to the Chief Justice and seek his opinion."

She went to the chancellor's office and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Villette sat alone at the table, still as calm as usual.

"Chief Justice, there is a group of people gathered outside, demanding a reinvestigation of the case of Carres. No matter how we persuade them, they just won't leave. They even brought people from the newspaper here..."

"I already know. It was Navia who took the lead in organizing it, right?"

Xia Wulei nodded, "This is no longer an ordinary protest, we must..."

That Villette stood up and patted Xiawolei on the shoulder. "Things haven't come to that point yet. Since Navia's purpose is to see me, I will go out and talk to her."

After a while, the door of Momang Palace opened again.

However, the person who came out was not Chavore, but Chief Justice Navilette.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

They were all hired by Navia to shout slogans, so there was no need for them to really go against Lord Navilette.
