Soon the two arrived at the place where the sound came from, which was a very remote corner.

As soon as the two arrived here, they ran into a terrified woman in prison clothes.

"F, Lady Furninna, Miss Emily..."

When the woman saw the two men appear, she was obviously relieved, as if she had found a backer, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

"What happened? Did anyone die? How many died? How many were injured?"

Funina first comforted the other party, and then asked him quickly.

However, when the other party heard Funina's question, his eyes were suddenly filled with fear.

"All dead, all dead!"

"So many corpses, so much blood!"

"That's horrible, don't ask me again!"

After the woman said these words with some emotion, she ran away.

Seeing her reaction, Funina's heart sank, and she felt a little afraid of what she was going to see next.

However, at this time, extremely calm words came from the girl.

"Come on, Lady Fininna, let's go take a look."

"Wait a minute Emily, why don't we wait for the others to go to the scene and check the situation together."

"No, we can't wait until there are more people before taking action, otherwise the murderer might blend into the crowd and take the opportunity to eliminate some unfavorable evidence."

Funina followed the girl and wanted to say something else, but by then they had already turned the corner and saw the bloody scene.

Finina's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she immediately closed her eyes with sadness, unwilling to continue watching.

There were about a dozen bodies on the ground, all of them wearing prison uniforms. It was obvious that they were prisoners in Mellow Petersburg.

The death of each of them was extremely tragic. Their bodies seemed to be crushed by some powerful force. Blood continued to flow out from every part of their bodies, gathering on the ground into a large pool of blood.

In addition, there were many huge dents on the metal wall, the pipes had many gaps and damages, and there was even a huge iron pipe lying on the ground twisted and deformed. Sewage was constantly flowing out of the broken place, mixing with the blood on the ground and dyeing the blood black.

"Emily, let's get out of here and let others handle it..."

The atmosphere at the scene was so depressing that Funina felt a little breathless. She looked at the girl anxiously, but unexpectedly found that the girl was very calm and did not seem to be emotionally affected by the scene in front of her.

"Emily?"

"Why do you seem so calm?"

After hearing Furninna's question, the girl smiled and then spoke to her.

"After seeing it so many times, I naturally don't feel much anymore."

Finina was shocked. She didn't expect the other party's past to be so tragic that he was even used to death.

"Okay, let's protect the scene and prevent irrelevant people from approaching, so as to prevent the murderer from secretly destroying the evidence."

After hearing the girl's words, Finina nodded immediately.

Not long after, the guards from Mellow Petersburg hurried over.

"Lady Funina?"

When they saw Furninna, they looked a little surprised, and then quickly bowed.

Seeing this, Funina waved her hands quickly.

"Don't worry about these unimportant etiquettes at a time like this. Go and take a look. There are many dead there."

After hearing what Funina said, the guards' faces became serious, and then they quickly quickened their pace and entered the scene.

Not long after the guards arrived here, a lot of people came to watch the fun. When they saw Funina appear in this place, they were surprised and began to talk in a low voice.

"Isn't that Lady Funina?"

"Miss Emily is here too."

"Nonsense, Miss Emily is Lady Fernina's bodyguard, so of course she will be by Lady Fernina's side!"

"But why is Lady Funina here?"

"I heard that dozens of people died here, I don't know if it's true."

"There were clearly hundreds of them. I heard that the bodies were piled up like a mountain, and the blood even dyed the surrounding sea red."

……

Because Funina was guarding outside, no one wanted to force their way in to join in the fun. They just stayed where they were and waited for the final result.

Furninna was a little angry when she heard their discussion.

Now that so many people have died, these people have all come to join in the fun, and are not afraid to spread rumors.

Just as Funina opened her mouth to say something, a familiar voice appeared.

"Lady Furninna, Miss Emily!"

Hearing the voice, they both looked over there at the same time and saw Charlotte's figure.

"We meet again, you two."

Charlotte ran over in a hurry and continued.

"I heard that there are many victims in this place. Is it true?"

"Ah."

Because she had met Charlotte before and was quite familiar with her, Funina spoke directly.

"A lot of people did die. The guards at Melo Petersburg are investigating the scene. During this time, it is best for unauthorized personnel not to approach the scene."

"Yeah, I know that. After all, I have worked with the security team many times!"

Charlotte nodded, then looked at the girl.

"Miss Emily, I haven't congratulated you on your final victory yet."

"It was just good luck. I didn't expect that Mr. Tartaglia would step on the trap I set before."

"Ms. Emily, you are too modest. Even before, you were not at a disadvantage in the battle with Mr. Tartaglia."

After hearing what Charlotte said, Funina spoke with some curiosity.

"Is this true? Emily is so strong?"

"Hey, Lady Fininna, isn't Miss Emily your bodyguard? Don't you know her strength?"

"Ah... this... I can't help it. After all, my strength is too strong, so I can hardly feel the gap between them."

After hearing Fernina's explanation, Charlotte showed a look of realization on her face, and then spoke.

"So this is ah."

"I have had someone record today's battle. If Lady Funina is interested, I will send the video to you."

After hearing Charlotte's words, Fernina's face lit up with joy.

"Of course I'm interested!"

"I haven't seen Emily take action much before!"

"Then Lady Funina must take a good look at it. Miss Emily is doing us Fontaine a great favor!"

Charlotte smiled and said that Emily's final victory over Tartaglia had a strong influence in Fontaine.

Unlike the time with Villette, Emily defeated Tartaglia as a mortal.

"Of course I'll take a good look at it."

After hearing Charlotte's words, Finina nodded and looked forward to the battle a little.

At this moment, the guards who had been there before came back with solemn faces. Their shoes were soaked in blood, and every step they took left a bloody footprint.

They looked at Finina with a strange expression, then turned their gaze to the girl and asked.

"Excuse me, Miss Emily, when you and Lady Funina came to this place, did you find anyone else?"

The girl nodded.

"There is another person, a thin woman wearing prison uniform. She should be a prisoner still serving her sentence."

"She should be the first person to discover the crime scene. Lady Funina and I rushed here after hearing the noise she made."

"But she was frightened at the time, and I just asked her the details, and she ran away."

After confirming the basic information from the girl, the guards nodded and then asked again.

"Excuse me, before we came, did you see anyone else enter the crime scene?"

The girl shook her head.

"Okay, thanks to Miss Emily for the answer, we already know."

"Wait a moment."

Furninna suddenly interrupted the conversation and looked at the guards with some dissatisfaction.

"I am here, am I not? I am the water god Fukaros. Aren't you going to ask me questions first?"

Because she was ignored, Funina quickly made her presence felt to everyone.

Even though she didn't like this, she had to do it because the water god's character was supposed to be willful and arrogant.

"Um, Lady Funina..."

The guards looked hesitant when faced with Funina's questioning.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't ask?"

"No, nothing. Actually, we don't have any problems anymore. Next, we are going to tell His Excellency the Duke what happened here."

After saying this, the guards wanted to leave.

However, Finina could obviously sense that they were hiding some secret, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Aren't you going to explain to me the results of your investigation at the scene?"

"We need to report this matter to His Excellency the Duke first, and then we can give you, Lady Funina, a reply."

The guards hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to explain.

"It's not a good idea for you to do this."

Charlotte also sensed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to help Funina.

"Lady Finina is of noble status, why do you need to wait for the Duke's consent first?"

"Do you know that what you are doing will have a bad influence on the Duke?"

After hearing Charlotte's reminder, the guards couldn't help but show some struggle on their faces. After a while, they finally stopped struggling and spoke in a very serious tone.

"According to our preliminary investigation, the victims at the scene were killed by a very powerful attack. The affected walls have huge dents."

"And there are only a few people in Melo Petersburg who can carry out this level of attack."

"Based on the elemental power remaining in the air, we infer that the murderer should have used the elemental power of water..."

Although the guards did not explicitly say who they thought the murderer was, everyone present had an answer in their minds and started to be shocked...

Chapter 43 Emily, meeting you is my greatest luck

"Since the area is so small, we should be able to find the murderer quickly."

After listening to the guards' description, Funina nodded and spoke.

Suddenly, the same strange expressions as the guards appeared on the faces of the people around, and they were a little confused for a moment.

"…Lady Funina, you are right. We will find the murderer as soon as possible."

"We need to inform the Duke first, so I'll take my leave now."

"Yeah, go ahead."

After hearing Furninna's reply, the guards fled away.

Looking at the guards fleeing in panic, Funina felt a little strange.
