"otherwise..."
"Fontaine is long gone."
In this regard, Clorinde and others who were looking at the second stone slab nodded thoughtfully. Sky Island has always been a place where nails are hammered down. Lady Finina is unlikely to survive, so it has nothing to do with the prophecy no matter how you look at it.
As for the first missing piece of these prophecy slates, Alechino now knew its approximate location.
However, finding it in the vast Lake Fontaine is obviously not an easy task, so this task was left to the three Lini siblings.
But... everyone actually knows in their hearts that this piece of stone slab is definitely the reason why the Fontaine people dissolved in the water!
Charlotte, who was filled with curiosity, was very angry: "Damn it! Mr. Gu Jing must have known that this would be the result!"
"I know why this is happening but I just won't tell you!"
"You find all kinds of ways to torture my girlish heart!"
“That’s so bad!!!”
Seeing her stamping her feet anxiously, like a rabbit that was about to bite someone, Navia and others around her couldn't help laughing.
Gu Jing laughed and teased, "This is the pain you experience when you pursue the truth, Miss Charlotte. And the ones who directly spoil the story are the most hateful, right? Besides, what I see may not be correct."
"What's more-"
“I can lie, too.”
******
One has to admit that Gu Jing's statement was indeed fair. Putting aside their anxiety for the time being, everyone prepared to deal with the case of the serial disappearance of young girls.
Alechino, who had nothing to do for the time being, also expressed his desire to follow Gu Jing and others.
However...although everyone has been together these days, Yingmei will not be too intimate with Gu Jing during work.
Paimon, who looks like a child, does not give people a sense of crisis, and Arechino, who suddenly appears, is really a big catfish!
Seeing that she was completely clinging to Gu Jing, and Gu Jing seemed to be enjoying it, Navia couldn't help but feel complicated; Clorinde's expression seemed calm, but her subtle eyes would look at Gu Jing from time to time.
Yingmei, Paimon, and Charlotte were still smiling, and Charlotte even took the initiative to talk about the serial disappearance of young girls.
A clear and pleasant voice echoed in the ruins: "In the past twenty years, missing girls have continued to appear in Fontaine."
"This series of cases is called the 'serial disappearance of young girls' case."
"Mr. Carres, the former president of the Thorn Rose Society, also investigated the serial disappearance of young girls."
"But at a later banquet."
"Mr. Cares has again been accused of murder in a shooting at a banquet."
"And the evidence at that time also pointed to Mr. Caress."
"But what's puzzling is."
"Mr. Caress refuses to stand trial."
"And according to the rules, he proposed to prove his innocence by duel."
"The result...sigh..."
Having said this, Charlotte sighed and stopped talking.
Navia took over the conversation with a sad expression: "I wanted to stop it at the time, but the Supreme Inquisitor refused me. My father died in this duel and even bore the infamy of [Unjust Kares]."
"But I am willing to guarantee it with my character!"
"My father, Kares, is definitely not a murderer!"
"He had no reason to kill anyone."
"My instinct tells me so."
"He must have discovered something during his investigation!"
"That's why he was framed by the mastermind behind the incident."
"But intuition is not evidence."
"So after I took over the Thorn Rose Society, I have been investigating the serial disappearance of young girls."
"I want to figure this out."
"I also want to prove my father, Kares' innocence."
This - not understanding the situation, Yingmei and Paimeng didn't say anything nonsense.
Charlotte added excitedly:
"Navia and I share the same opinion. Mr. Cares is definitely not a bad person!"
"The first reason is Mr. Cares's character."
"He is the founder of the Thorn Rose Society."
"And the purpose of the Thorn Rose Society is to help those in need."
"We have also taken the patrol ship 0..."
“There are three waterways in the entire Fontaine.”
"The Carles line, the Clementine line, and the Navia line."
“These waterways are named after Mr. Cares’ family of three.”
"And to recognize the contributions made by the Thorn Rose Society."
"The Momang Palace also wants to grant Mr. Carres the title of 'Count'."
"But he refused."
“The second reason is that it’s unnecessary.”
"To put it bluntly, the Thorn Rose Society is a big and powerful organization. If he really wants to kill someone, there is no need for him to do it himself!"
******
Clorinde was silent with mixed feelings, because she was the one who killed Cares in the duel, and her duty as the duel agent prevented her from letting him win in the duel. Cares also entrusted Navia to her before his death.
However...even though they have been working together recently, Navia is still lukewarm towards her 'enemy who murdered her father'.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but interrupt: "I was the one who dueled with Mr. Cares at that time. I could feel that Mr. Cares wanted to die at that time."
"this..."
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Navia was in great pain, and looked at Clorinde with confusion. Clorinde, who was being stared at by her, really didn't dare to look into her eyes.
But she didn't hide it deliberately: "Mr. Carres's last wish is for me to protect your safety. If I tell you..."
She stopped talking here, but what she wanted to express was already very obvious, and Navia couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She took over the conversation with great self-awareness: "If I knew about this, I would definitely investigate it at all costs, but the current Thorn Rose Society is simply unable to guarantee my personal safety, so you chose to conceal it, right?"
Clorinde 3.7 nodded: "Well, but now we still have Mr. Gu Jing, everything is not a problem."
"In addition, I have a guess that the mastermind behind the serial disappearance of young girls should be a relatively powerful force."
"And Mr. Cares must have some important information."
“Otherwise things wouldn’t have come to this point.”
******
At this point in the conversation, even Yingmei and Paimon, as outsiders, began to feel that Mr. Cares should not be the murderer.
Everyone's eyes were on Gu Jing, and Gu Jing had his arm around Alechino's waist, listening to their conversation.
Facing the gazes of the girls and ladies, he smiled and nodded: "The facts are just as you all thought. Our next goal is to find out the real culprit behind the serial disappearance of girls and give Mr. Cares justice."
"at the same time--"
"Uncover the secret of why Fontaine dissolves in water."
Putting aside his mischievous hands, this guy was still very serious when he said this.
PS: The picture shows Clorinde.
Chapter 132 Solved the serial disappearance case of young girls!
After returning to Baisong Town, Navia took Gu Jing and his party to visit the headquarters of the Rose Thorn Society. The overall appearance was a huge and gorgeous steamship.
It is not only the family business of the Rose of the Thorn Society, but also the legacy left to her by her father, Carres. It symbolizes voyages, opportunities, conquests, and ambitions. It also symbolizes that the future of her Rose of the Thorn Society is extremely bright.
Then she went to find the right-hand men her father left her, Myles and Silver.
Seeing Gu Jing and his group, the knowledgeable old butler Miles knew that his eldest daughter had met a distinguished person.
When Navia asked him about what happened that year, he immediately told the truth: Cares did discover the secret of the mastermind, but he couldn't hold on, and the doctor said that he would not live more than 5 years.
But this secret is not enough to expose the mastermind. Besides, Navia is also targeted as the next target by the mastermind.
After many considerations, her father Carles finally decided to keep the secret and use it as a threat to force the mastermind behind the scenes to be afraid of the Rose of Thorns and protect Navia from harm. He himself died in the duel.
Although the Rose of Thorns Society fell into decline as a result, the mastermind behind the scenes was still wary of this, and Navia is still safe.
After hearing this, Yingmei and the others present couldn't help but sigh. Navia was the most shocked and even a little unable to accept it.
Her father had always been very strict with her and seldom shared his thoughts with her. She herself thought it was because her mother 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.
And he made a vow in public: "I will give an explanation to everyone! Whether it is the missing persons or the victims..."
"Or myself!"
******
Witnessing this determination, Gu Jing nodded slightly. As a sign of respect, he did not intervene. The old butler Miles also recounted what happened that year.
At that time, a drink called "Lesi" was popular in Baisong Town. It was highly addictive.
For the safety of the people in Baisong Town, Cares used tough measures to ban the sale of Les. He never gave in even when threatened and bribed by the manufacturer of Les. He successfully persuaded Jacques, a Les businessman with a conscience, to cooperate with him, and destroyed the Les business.
And following Les's clues, Cares discovered that it was actually related to the serial disappearance of girls case, so he began to investigate the serial disappearance of girls case.
But he soon received an anonymous letter from the mastermind, saying that Navia would be the next victim.
Therefore, he realized that there were spies around him, but he didn't know who was the mastermind behind the scenes. Cares also told many of his confidants the clues he found.
He also threatened the mastermind behind the incident, saying that once Navia disappeared, people who knew the secret would immediately reveal the truth about Les and the disappearance.
The mastermind behind the disappearance also warned Cares again that if he revealed the secret, he would be doomed to die with him.
A shooting occurred at the banquet later, and Carres was accused of being the murderer. The deceased was the Les businessman, Jacques.
There is no doubt that the mastermind behind this is killing people and framing them! However, he does not want the mastermind behind this to take further action against Navia and the Thorn Rose Society after he gets away with it, so this time, Carres chooses to sacrifice himself to save Navia and the Thorn Rose Society.
******
After listening to this, Navia smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "He is willing to tell me only now. This should be his explanation, right? If I didn't have such a determination, you wouldn't tell me this secret, Myles?"
"Does he trust me that much?"
"If I..."
"Is it impossible to get to this point?"
Seeing this, the experienced Miles knew what she was struggling with.
He gave her a gentlemanly salute and said, "I think you must have misunderstood, young lady. What the boss wanted to hand you was not an [umbrella], but a [sword]."
"If the boss has the honor to hear what you are saying now, you want to give an explanation to all the people involved in this matter..."
"He will definitely be pleased."
Hearing this, Navia wiped away her tears: "Maybe, Myles, what is the key clue he is hiding?"
"It's where Lex is made."
