Yes, Lady Funina!

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little desperate. Funina knows this feeling very well because she has also encountered such a situation...

Wait, Funina suddenly realized that she seemed to be no longer as desperate and helpless as before, and even the number of times she secretly cried in her little bed had decreased.

Things like unintentional crying are almost extinct... When did this change begin?

Finina unconsciously cast her gaze on Richard. Perhaps even she herself did not notice that, at some point, the way she looked at Richard became different from the way she looked at others.

"But if Mr. Richard hadn't found the evidence today, you wouldn't have told me all this, right?" Navia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, soaking her black lace gloves.

"..." Miles was silent for a moment. "Miss, as your and your father's housekeeper, I must remind you. The opponent is ruthless and very difficult to deal with. The boss has paid the price of his life in the long-term confrontation."

"Today, as the Thorn Rose Society is declining, Baisong Town has ushered in a rare peace, and we have not been eradicated..."

"There is no need to follow the boss's old path. This is wise and what the boss expects."

The implication is that, unless something unexpected happens, Miles will keep this secret until the day he dies.

"If that was his wish, he should have told me in person. I was the one closest to him, but I was the only one who felt like an outsider. He passed away with so many mysteries. What was the meaning of this? What did he protect? "Les" was still there, "Injustice Carres" was still there, and the dying "Rose Thorn Society" was still there. Nothing had changed."

"Did he think I would tolerate such a meaningless death and live a meaningless life? From that day on... I never thought of it, not even once."

"I want to give an explanation to everyone, whether it is the missing person, the victim, or myself."

Navia's attitude is so firm!

"Well, actually there's no need for you to make it sound so heroic. Just tell Richard some information and he'll be responsible for solving it." Clorinde finally couldn't help but speak.

For a moment, everyone in the field looked at Clorinde. You are the only sober one in the world, right?

Clorinde belatedly looked at Linnet beside her and asked tentatively, "Did I say something wrong again?"

Linnet took a sip of her tea slowly and replied, "No, you are right."

"That……"

"It's just that you shouldn't speak."

The words were correct, but the timing was wrong.

Everyone is discussing how to deal with the ruthless opponent with high morale and as if facing a formidable enemy, but then you come up and say don't worry, Richard will take action.

You make everyone seem like a burden!

Fortunately, the old Miles was kind-hearted. He knew that Clorinde was entrusted by her boss to take good care of Navia, so he came to her rescue and said, "Now is indeed the best time. Miss, your partner is also very reliable. More importantly, Miss, you look ready."

"Besides, since Mr. Richard has already been to Le's production site, this means a full-scale declaration of war with the other party. In fact, we have no choice."

"I have been conducting investigations over the years, but unfortunately I am not capable enough. I can only keep it secret and do the most basic investigations while waiting for the right time."

"There are three people under suspicion right now. They are Florent, the advisor of the Thorn Rose Society, Thierry, the official contact point between the Thorn Rose Society and the Fontaine Guard, and Marcelle, the president of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce."

"Marcelle?" Furninha raised her head. "The president of the Chamber of Commerce you just mentioned is called Marcelle?"

"Lady Funina, do you know?" Richard was a little surprised. You know, the Cabriel Chamber of Commerce in Fontaine is at most a medium-sized chamber of commerce, and there are too many such chambers of commerce in Fontaine.

Moreover, the other party relied on the [Rose Thorn Society] in its early years. Now that the [Rose Thorn Society] is in decline, the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce has also provided a lot of financial support to the [Rose Thorn Society]. This has also caused heavy losses to the Chamber of Commerce itself. Being able to maintain a medium scale is already considered a good management strategy for the Chamber of Commerce's president.

"No, I don't know. I just saw this name in Vinel's diary." After reading the scary experiment notes, Funina must have been a little scared, and wanted to read the sweet love diary to calm down.

After she quickly flipped through the diary, she heard Miles mention the name "Marcelle", and she happened to have seen this name on a page in the diary.

"Found it, it's right here." Funina spread out the diary on the table in the middle and pointed at the name on it.

"Are you naming a child?" Navia saw many names written on the page and all of them were crossed out.

Only the name "Marcelle" was not crossed out, which should be the name that Weniel finally decided on.

"But is Marcelle that young? If he is really Vash's son, then the time doesn't match... I understand!" Funina clapped her palms and a big light bulb appeared on her forehead.

"The former lover dissolved in water. In order to find his lover back and also to find the girl for human experiments, 'he' forged the identity of Marcelle and destroyed everything related to Vashé!"

"From now on there will only be Marcelle in the world, and no Vache, and this will make sense."

"Alas, it's just like me. I can always find the most crucial information from countless information and connect all the clues together." After saying this, Funina did not forget to brag about herself.

But it is true that if Funina had not noticed this detail, they might have missed the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

After all, we have to know that the president of the Chamber of Commerce is a backbone who strongly supports Navia, both in terms of funding and internal affairs of the Thorn Rose Society.

Among the three people listed by Miles, even Miles himself thought that the other party had the lowest possibility of being the murderer.

After what Funina said, the other party's suspicion was immediately raised to the highest level.

"Uncle Marcelle, when we were fighting Les, they also provided a lot of financial and commercial support."

"Are you fighting against yourself? It's hard to imagine... The fox I fought for so long is actually right next to me, and he's the person I least expect to suspect."

Navia murmured, and it was obvious that she was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

And Funina kept nodding and said, "Even in operas, there are rarely such cold and cunning villains..."

If one were to put oneself in her shoes, Funina herself would find it hard to accept that Richard, who supported her the most, was actually the real culprit who caused the Fontaine flood crisis.

Fortunately, Funina knew that this would not happen.

"So are we going to go straight to Marcelle next? Or should we go check on the other two suspects first?" asked Funina, who had completely immersed herself in the role of a detective.

"To be on the safe side, let's go find the two suspects first. We should set off immediately without further delay."

Although the current situation is very clear, Richard still plans to check on the other two suspects first to be on the safe side to avoid any accidents.

Richard looked at Clorinde who was about to leave with them, thought for a moment and said to her:

"Claulinde, please go and look after Mr. Marcelle first. Although the possibility of being discovered is small, it's still a good idea to be on the safe side."

Clorinde: ...

Why was she arranged again?

Volume 80: Chapter Mr. Richard is a good man

Navia approached Florent and Thierry one after another, and after talking to them, she found that there was no major suspicion and their answers were very natural.

Especially with the water goddess Finina following along, both of them seemed a little nervous. Even in this situation, nothing could be seen, so it seemed that there really was no problem.

With Richard's eyesight, even trained professionals would find it difficult to escape his eyes. Heart rate, micro-expressions, breathing intervals and other small movements that are difficult to control can help Richard easily determine whether a person is lying.

To a certain extent, if you take this Taoism to the highest level, it is indeed no different from mind reading.

After all, Richard often used this trick on Finnina, so it was no wonder that she suspected that Richard had the ability to read minds.

"The next step is to find Marcelle, Navia, what do you think?" Finina was now very curious about Navia's mental journey.

"I... I'm sorry, Lady Funina. I still hope this is just a coincidence. After all, if Uncle Marcelle is really Vache, it would be too hard to imagine." Navia said in a low voice.

Navia is indeed very conflicted now. She hopes that Marcelle is the real murderer behind the scenes, which means that countless victims will be able to get an explanation. At the same time, she hopes that the real murderer is not Marcelle. This is because for Navia, Marcelle is an elder who has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she doesn't want all this to be false.

"Let's go, Clorinde is already waiting. No matter what, the truth of this matter will soon come to light. Whether it is a coincidence or the truth, we just need to ask the other party." Richard said.

Even if Marcelle is not the real murderer, Richard will do his best to find out who is behind it.

If he really can't find it, then Richard will have to use some metaphysics.

Astrology...Although Richard doesn't use it very often, he has learned a little from Alice and has made some progress.

He actually has no talent in this area. His talent may be focused on increasing his combat power.

Soon Richard and his party arrived at the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce and easily saw Clorinde guarding the gate of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although this queen is dressed like a secretary and has a very hot body, her cold face and stern temperament make her look intimidating.

Many people feel that Clorinde is "something to be admired from a distance but not to be touched" when they first see her, and few dare to approach her directly.

But Richard knew that this guy was not as difficult to deal with as he looked. At least he was quite good at using him.

He is willing to work hard and never complain. It is hard to find such a capable and easy to control guy.

"I looked, Marcelle is inside." After seeing Richard and his group coming, Clorinde also walked over and said to Richard.

"Why don't you just go in?" Navia couldn't help asking.

After all, judging from the embarrassed look on the Chamber of Commerce receptionist's face, it was obvious that Clorinde had been standing at the Chamber of Commerce door like a telephone pole for some time.

It is very likely that when they went to question the other two suspects, he was standing here like a door god.

"What are you going in for?" Clorinde asked.

Navia was left speechless by the question. Even if she went in, there was nothing she could do. It would be better for her to wait for them at the door.

The only consequence of doing this may be that it affects the business of some chambers of commerce. After all, Clorinde standing at the door of the chamber of commerce like this looks very difficult to deal with. Anyone would wonder if the Gabrielle Chamber of Commerce is in trouble.

After all, Clorinde, as the strongest duel agent, is still very famous in Fontaine.

"This is not bad. At least we don't have to worry about Clorinde saying something wrong." Funina complained. It was obvious that Clorinde's little resignation trick left a deep impression on Funina.

Clorinde looked at Funina in disbelief, as if she were a heartless person.

Lady Finina, do you know how you would be bullied by Richard without my jokes?

It was a wrong payment after all~

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong. You make me seem like an ungrateful villain in an opera..." Being looked at like that by Clorinde, Furninna's momentum somehow weakened a little.

But soon, Funina became confident again, because she was the one who was cueed by Clorinde several times.

Clorinde took a deep breath and felt her chest swell a little. She signaled Richard with her eyes.

- I'll stand on your side next time.

Richard ignored Clorinde's look of choosing sides, saying that it was meaningless for you to choose sides.

At most you can help Funina block some of the damage, not to mention that most of the time your shield is leaking air.

Richard and his companions were soon respectfully invited to the reception room inside the Chamber of Commerce. There was no way not to be respectful. After all, Furninna was there, as well as the eldest lady of the Rose Thorn Society. No matter which of the two came to the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce, they would be treated as guests of honor.

Especially the former, which made the receptionist feel like, "Could it be that our Chamber of Commerce is so big that even the God of Water has to come and visit us in person?"

Shortly after the receptionist went upstairs, Marcelle hurried down.

"I'm coming, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Is this... the Lord of Water?"

Marcelle was very surprised by Funina's arrival. He looked at Navia, who was the most familiar to the group, and asked, "Navia, you came to see me. Is there anything the Thorn Rose Society needs my help with?"

Although he didn't know why the Water God stayed with Navia, Marcelle guessed that Navia came to him because "Les" had appeared again recently, and wanted to seek financial help from him to fight against the organization that trafficked "Les".

This situation has happened countless times in the past few years. The reason why the Water God stays with Navia is probably that Navia has gotten in touch with the Water God through some unknown means, and they plan to join forces to wipe out 'Les'.

As for why the Water God attaches so much importance to 'Les', it should be because he dissolved the leader of the treasure-stealing group in Baisong Town last time.

"Yes, I want to talk to you about what happened recently in Baisong Town and the ruins of Fontaine Academy of Sciences. 'Les' appeared again, you should know about it, right?" Navia nodded, her beautiful eyes fixed on Marcelle, as if she wanted to see something from his face.

But it is a pity that Marcelle was able to hide in Fontaine for so many years. How could Navia, a young lady who had just started her career, see through her scheming?

After hearing what Navia said, Marcelle showed a look of surprise on her face, and then she was furious.

"That group of people showed up again?!"

Look, this acting is much better than those actors in the opera house.

——He should go into politics.

The reason why Richard could tell that the other party was pretending was because in his perception, although Marcelle's face showed shock and anger, her heartbeat, blood flow and micro-expressions were telling Richard that the old man in front of him had known about this for a long time.

This is interesting. If you already knew it, why pretend not to know?

"The Chamber of Commerce has suffered a great loss these days because of the incident at the Fontaine Academy. I have been busy dealing with this matter recently. I didn't expect that the bugs would take advantage of this time..."

Marcelle immediately stated after explaining why he didn't know the situation and clarifying some of his own difficulties.

"Don't worry, Navia. I will stand by your side no matter what. There is still some money left in the Chamber of Commerce. You can take it first. I will find a way later. No matter what, we must curb those cancerous tumors!"

These words were spoken so beautifully that even people who knew the situation would be deceived by the speech of the Chamber of Commerce President. They would wonder if there was a misunderstanding, or if they had made a mistake and the so-called name was just a coincidence.

After all, the image that Marcelle showed just now was that of a righteous businessman who hated evil and was determined to fight the "Les" gang to the end regardless of his own interests.

However, this is Marcelle's biggest flaw. According to Richard's understanding, Marcelle made her fortune ten years ago with the help of Cares, and was said to be very poor before that.

And it was such a person, the president of a huge chamber of commerce, who would actually disregard the gains and losses and throw his hard-earned Mora into the bottomless pit of fighting against the 'Les' criminal gang without hesitation.

It even seemed that he did not seek anything in return, nor did he take advantage of his presence to propose some convenient conditions to Mo Mang Palace.

You know, the water goddess Funina standing here also largely reflects the official attitude of Fontaine. As a qualified businessman, he will definitely find a way to make up for some losses when he pays. Even if he really pays not for profit, he should take the name, right?

On the other hand, Marcelle is not after profit or fame, so what does he want to do?

At this point, Richard had actually already made his own judgment in his mind, and he happened to see Funina looking at him with confused eyes.

Apparently, the famous detective, Lady Funina, couldn't tell whether Marcelle was good or bad; she acted so well that even Funina couldn't see any trace of acting in her.
