Fontaine Grand Stage, come if you are destined to

"What's wrong, girl, are you okay?"

Noticing that Charlotte's condition was a little unusual, the old man asked in a low voice.

"Is it because that little brother is sick?"

After hearing what the other party said, Charlotte was about to pretend that she was fine to reassure the other party, but the other party's next sentence dealt a heavy blow to her heart.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes. Charlotte wiped them away quickly and then spoke.

"No, he's...fine."

"It's just that he's away on a long trip."

"Oh, I see."

The old man nodded and immediately believed Charlotte's words.

"He should be your brother. It's normal for a sister to worry about him since he's away on a business trip."

"But it's not a good idea to protect him too well. Although I don't have children, I also know that only by going through some things can one grow up."

"For people like us, children as young as seven or eight years old already act like little adults."

"...Well, thank you for your advice."

Charlotte's mouth was full of bitterness, and she forced herself to force an extremely ugly smile to thank the old man.

The old man didn't think much about it, he just felt that Charlotte was too worried about her brother.

"You must love your brother a lot, that's great, I've been on my own since I was about six."

The old man sighed, and there seemed to be some longing in his eyes.

"Yes, I like my brother very much..."

Charlotte no longer knew what mood she was in when she said this. Luo Fan's face appeared in her mind.

"He's a very good kid, but he likes to take the initiative."

"Haha, kids seem more energetic when they are a little naughty."

Charlotte nodded, but at this moment, the scene of Luo Fan falling on the stage and his blood gathering under his body to form a small pool of red flashed through her mind.

A strong feeling of suffocation came from her chest again. In order to relieve her pain, Charlotte quickly changed the subject.

"Old man, where is the newspaper place here?"

In order to prevent the old man from feeling the same strong sense of guilt as she did, Charlotte planned to negotiate with the newspaper vendors and ask them not to sell the latest issue of the newspaper.

"Haha girl, how could there be a place selling newspapers in Gray River!"

"You have to know that most of the people who live here in Gray River are illiterate."

"Don't even think about wasting money on buying newspapers. Even if you buy them, you won't be able to read them."

Charlotte was stunned when she heard the old man's explanation, then she spoke quickly.

"So the content of the newspaper a few days ago..."

"Well, of course I can't understand what's in the newspaper... Could it be that the content is very important for the filming? But the guy didn't tell me before filming."

The old man scratched his hair which was like a chicken coop and spoke with some distress.

Charlotte was silent. At this moment, Luo Fan's image had appeared in two forms in her mind.

One of the images is the first time she met the other person. When the other person looked at her, there was a timid and sincere expression on his face, and when he spoke, he called her "Sister Charlotte" in a crisp voice.

The other face is to show madness and absurdity on the surface, but actually every step is extremely calm and even indifferent. As long as the expectations can be achieved, even one's own life can be taken into account.

She had unknowingly walked into Luo Fan's trap, but only now did she finally come out.

Even though her body had walked out, her heart was trapped there forever.

If she hadn't happened to meet the old man a few days ago, would she have been able to find out the truth?

Brother Luo Fan, which one is the real you?

In fact, Luo Fan had no plan for Charlotte's meeting with the old man, and he had no idea what an indelible impression he had left in Charlotte's heart.

At this time, Luo Fan was fighting wits and courage with the security team for his thirteenth pot of gold.

Because of the previous bad incidents, the security at the heights of Fontaine is now a bit too tight, and even every pedestrian going to the heights will be required to check their personal belongings.

The cloak that Luo Fan had prepared would probably not be used. With such strict inspection, as long as he carried it with him, he would probably be invited for tea by the security team soon.

But it's not a big problem. The cloak was originally meant to make the wearer more conspicuous so that people could quickly connect these cases of jumping from buildings together. It is no longer necessary now.

Luo Fan simply wrote "I won't cry" on the underwear he was wearing, and then passed the security team's inspection carelessly.

Luo Fan looked at the two security guards who let him come over with some sympathy. They would probably have their wages deducted soon.

Then Luo Fan took a deep leap from the edge of the platform and embraced the sky like a bird wanting to fly freely.

Then, amid the screams of passers-by, the bird crashed.

With a "pop", the white floor tiles were once again painted with bright colors by tomatoes...

ps: You don’t want to talk, right? (confused), you don’t want to talk, right? (crying), you went to the hotel so early, right? (angry), traitor, traitor (sad), I curse those who celebrate the holiday today not to see this chapter updated tonight (joy).

Chapter 12 Father and Family

[House of Hearth] In the Buffati Mansion, a branch of Fontaine, Linny and Linette are preparing for the next magic show, but they suddenly notice something, their eyes become sharp, and they immediately cast their gaze to a corner of the scene.

At some unknown time, a figure appeared in that place, with almost the entire body hidden in darkness.

However, when Linny and Linnet saw this figure, their expressions visibly relaxed, and they then spoke respectfully to the figure.

"My Lord."

Hearing these two words of respect and reverence, [Servant] Alechino opened his eyes but did not speak.

The pressure at the scene made Linny and Linnette bury their heads lower and lower. Sweat had appeared on their foreheads at some point and was slowly flowing down their ears.

Alecino did not speak, and Linny and Linnet did not raise their heads.

I don't know how much time passed before Alechino finally spoke coldly.

"Linnie, you've failed in your duty."

"Yes, Father."

Lini had no intention of defending himself and accepted the accusation made by Alechino.

Alechino's eyes softened slightly as he looked at Linny, then he stood up from where he was sitting and slowly walked towards Linny and Linnette.

Because of Lini's magic preparation, the light and dark mixed together and shone on Alechino, making his figure appear and disappear like a ghost.

Hearing the heavy footsteps getting closer and closer to them, Linny and Linnet's breathing gradually became rapid.

Alechino finally stopped until he was standing not far from Linny, but at this time Linny and Linnet felt that the pressure they were under had reached its peak.

[Father] is angry. This is the common thought in their hearts at this moment.

"My child, your brother, Lofan Shenetsevich, was involved in a conspiracy and even lost his life. Why haven't you found the person who secretly planned all this?"

"Linnie, you are my successor. I am a little disappointed with your performance now."

Alechino spoke softly, but the chill in his words made Linny and Linnet feel their bodies stiffen.

"I'm sorry, Lord [Father]. I will find out the real culprit who murdered my brother as soon as possible."

"My brother has been gathering intelligence with all his strength recently, Father."

Linnet felt that Linnie's situation was not very good, and could not help but speak up to defend Linnie. Linnie was worried that Alechino would vent his anger on Linnet, so she quickly stopped Linnet.

However, Alechino did not say much about this, instead his eyes became softer.

"Linnie you have to always remember that we are all [family]."

“The blood of [my family] must be repaid with blood.”

"I'll give you some more time. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

"Yes, Father!"

Linny and Linnet responded to Arlechino's words together, but they did not receive a reply from the other party.

After a long time, the two finally couldn't help but look up, and then they found that Alechino had left without knowing when...

Fontainebleau.

The number of victims increased again, and the news swept across Fontaine like a hurricane.

However, before the security team could conduct any investigation on the deceased, the next victim appeared.

This was because Luo Fan was luckier this time. His new body happened to be in Fontaine. After he found a place to hide the money, he used the previous method again to bypass the blockade of the security team and jumped down from a high place.

Of course, no one knows the real reason except Luo Fan himself.

On the same day, two incidents of people jumping from buildings occurred in a very short time interval, and the security team was on high alert. This made them feel like they were slapped hard in the sack, and their faces were burning with pain.

The murderer's behavior was undoubtedly the greatest contempt and provocation to the security team. The security team was certainly angry, but they really felt like they had no idea where to start with the case.

However, the subsequent investigation finally made them understand why the two men were able to pass the body search by the security guards. They did not have cloaks with strange sentences written on them.

But this discovery seems to be even more serious!

This means that some people in Fontaine may have been induced to commit suicide because of the recent vicious cases, or it is possible that some ill-intentioned person admired the methods of the real culprit behind the serial jumping cases and imitated the crime, thus increasing the number of victims beyond the serial jumping cases.

Fortunately, they finally found new meaningless sentences on the clothes of the deceased, which made the security team feel relieved. If multiple cases were intertwined, the original serial jumping cases would become even more confusing. Of course, the situation is not much better now.

Now that they knew the murderer had changed his mind, the security team stepped up the intensity of the body searches. This action caused dissatisfaction among many Fontaine residents, and for a time the mailboxes were filled with complaints about the security team.

Although the security team was a little overwhelmed for a while because of the complaints, they felt it was worth it as long as there were no new deaths.

Just as they were thinking this, a new victim appeared again.

This time, the sentence corresponding to the content of the blood-stained letter did not appear on the deceased's body, but was written in blood at the location where the deceased jumped from the building.

The security team was numb. The reappearance of deaths greatly reduced the trust of the people of Fontaine in the security team. Even the water goddess Funina personally questioned the security team, saying that fewer people cheered for her when she went out on the streets recently, and asked them to solve the case quickly.

The security team is in a dilemma. They want to solve the case, but it seems impossible to do so!

There was no other way. In order to avoid new victims, the security team decisively blocked all the passages leading to the high places. If someone really wanted to go there to do something, there would be two male security guards on either side, staring at the person to prevent him from doing anything dangerous.

The pressure is at its maximum!

Although there are many places where one can jump off a building, at least the impact will be much smaller than dying near Mo Mang Palace.

Moreover, the security team suspected that the murderer was against them, so he must jump off the building near Mo Mang Palace and was unlikely to choose other places.

If we really choose another place, maybe some new clues will be left behind.

Just after the security team issued this order, Fontaine was quiet for several days and no new victims were reported, which made the security team feel relieved. They then rushed to investigate the specific information of the previous deaths, hoping to connect all the complicated clues together and bring the real murderer to justice as soon as possible.

However, the peace did not last long, and new victims appeared again...

Chapter 13: You're Losing Your Salary

"What did you say?"

"The victim used a hook and lock tool to climb up to the high platform in front of Mo Mang Palace, and then jumped from it to commit suicide?"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"Do you think your explanation will convince the people of Fontaine, Lady Funina, and Lady Villette?!"

"But captain..."

"That's enough, stop making excuses, your bonus for this month is gone!"

After hearing these words, the security officer who had been eager to defend himself was struck by lightning, and then he and his brothers who had failed in their duties in previous times joined him in a corner.

The captain of the security team announced his own decision angrily, never expecting that someone would use such an outrageous excuse to cover up his dereliction of duty.

Not to mention that the victim this time was just an ordinary Fontaine person like the previous ones, so how could he possibly master such a highly technical ability.

Suppose the victim went to great lengths to climb up to the heights where Mo Mang Palace was located, only to commit suicide in the same place as the serial suicide case?

Do you think he, the captain of the security team, is a three-year-old kid?!

"That's enough, you bunch of good-for-nothings. You've been investigating a case for so long and you don't have any clues. Do you think you can be fair to the people of Fontaine?"

"Some people even come up with such outrageous excuses to cover up their mistakes!"
