Oh well, I'm used to it...
After Chao Ke withdrew his claws, Linette twitched her ears and used her hand to straighten Chao Ke's messy bangs.
"So, have you figured out anything?"
Chao Ke asked the brother and sister.
Linni pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a rough idea of Master Cesar's magic trick, and I also have a general idea of the suspect, but..."
"Lord Chao Ke, are you absolutely certain... this is a murder?"
"I spent some time with Lorenzo. Although he had some complaints about Master Cesar, would he really kill his master because of that...?"
Before Chao Ke could answer, Linette tugged at Linnie's sleeve.
“Brother, Lorenzo is definitely involved in Master Cesar’s mistake. I have been closely observing his demeanor.”
"When Lord Chao Ke saved Master Cesar, there was no joy in his expression; instead, there was... surprise and annoyance."
"Is this so..."
Linni was deep in thought.
He was very aware of his sister's keen observation skills when she was in "serious mode".
Even the slightest change in the expression of the person being observed is hard to escape Lynette's eyes.
However, such observation was too exhausting, and Lynette could only maintain "Serious Mode" for a short while before switching back to "Standby Mode" to conserve her energy.
But the information Lynette gathers in "Serious Mode" is never wrong.
"How's your thinking going? I'm really looking forward to your answers."
Linnie and Lynette exchanged a glance and roughly made up their minds.
Finally, Linni answered Chao Ke's question.
"We believe that Lorenzo was involved in the murder of his mentor, Cesar, but..."
"He's probably not the only criminal."
"Oh? Tell me."
Chao Ke showed interest, and his admiration for the brother and sister grew even stronger.
These two siblings are simply born to do intelligence work, especially Linni, that little fox. Whether it's reasoning, reaction, or intuition, she's top-notch.
“We spent some time with Lorenzo recently, and he’s not one to keep his thoughts to himself.”
“I understand that he harbors some resentment towards Master Cesar, but their relationship is not so bad that he would resort to violence.”
"If it were just Lorenzo, the worst-case scenario would probably be that he steals Master Cesar's notes and then leaves to start his own business elsewhere."
"But he chose to kill Mr. César, so there must have been someone else who influenced his choice."
Linni explained his reasoning to Chao Ke.
However, there was one thing he did not tell Chao Ke.
That was Master Cesare's fiancée...
Her gaze had always made Linni uncomfortable.
Chao Ke noticed the turmoil in Lin Ni's heart, so he simply patted him on the shoulder.
"Do you remember the task I gave you? Find the mastermind behind this murder...!"
Lord Chao Ke's words indirectly proved that there was more than one culprit in the case, and Lin Ni also had a direction for the investigation.
He nodded and said, "We will definitely complete the task assigned by Lord Chao Ke."
Chao Ke nodded in satisfaction; Cesar had been rescued by him.
He has accomplished his main purpose in coming to the Opéra Garnier today; as for the finishing touches, let's leave that to César's students, Linnie and Linette.
Our high-ranking official is not a good person.
The reason for making this special trip today is partly to make up for the knife in his past life, but what Chao Ke values more is that there is profit to be made in this matter.
Firstly, this matter is highly topical and full of explosive moments, which can help Linnie and Linette quickly gain fame.
The entire process of the incident was very eye-catching, and each event alone could dominate the trending topics.
The initial setup by César to build anticipation for the high-altitude escape magic show was the climax.
Immediately afterwards, Cesar's high-altitude escape magic trick failed, and he was rescued by a mysterious person, creating another highlight of the day.
Finally, César's two apprentices solved the case and found the real murderer for their master. Another major plot twist.
The fact that the perpetrators were Cesar's magic assistant and fiancée was an even bigger bombshell!
After several days of such information bombardment, it is bound to create a phenomenal, cross-platform spread.
The attention and online buzz that Linnie and Lynette, the main characters in the incident, will receive will be unimaginable.
Thanks to this surge of attention and traffic, it will take Linnie and Lynette much, much longer to become the great magicians of Fontainebleau than in the original story.
Secondly, ...
Chapter 115 "Mr. Louis, you don't want to be imprisoned in Melot Petersburg, do you?"
Secondly, it's about the emotional investment in Linni, this little fox.
The older sister probably hasn't yet come up with the idea of grooming Lin Ni as her successor, but Chao Ke, who is familiar with the plot, knows that.
Linni will become the undisputed "Crown Prince" of the Hearth House, a kingdom made up of children.
Or rather, the next "king".
Objectively speaking, Linni is a qualified successor.
Both in terms of ability and character, he is an outstanding individual among his peers.
More importantly, Linni's personality and demeanor were quite in line with her older sister's thoughts.
After that, Linnie truly came to regard the fireplace house as a real "home".
However, there are still some differences between Linni and Arecino.
If Arecino is the children's "king," then Linni is more like their "parent."
Compared to Arecino, Linni values emotions more and is less calm and decisive.
Chao Ke couldn't judge whether this mentality was good or bad; he only knew that investing in the feelings of such people was a good business.
This time, Chao Ke personally rescued Lin Ni's mentor and gave Lin Ni the opportunity to find the real culprit for her mentor.
Although Lin Ni didn't say it, she must have felt grateful for Cheng Chaoke's kindness.
After that, whether it's integrating into the Bufati Mansion more quickly or letting yourself masturbate to Lynette with peace of mind, both are excellent.
Leaving Linnie and Linette there to continue the investigation, Chao Ke returned to Mojie Station first and took the Navia Line back home.
After getting off at Fontaine station, Chao Ke strolled leisurely through the Vasari Gallery.
It was nearing evening, and Chao Ke, who hadn't had lunch yet, was feeling a bit hungry.
However, Chao Ke did not head towards his own restaurant or the mansion's dining hall. Since he had come out for a walk, he decided to sample the culinary skills of his colleagues at Fontaine.
Unfortunately, after visiting several restaurants, I was unable to get a meal.
It wasn't that the restaurant staff were deliberately making things difficult for Chao Ke; it was simply that Chao Ke arrived at an inopportune time.
Lunchtime has passed, and now the restaurant's chefs are either resting or preparing for dinner.
After all, not many people choose to go out for lunch in the late afternoon.
Chao Ke walked helplessly along the street. At this time of day, the only places that still offered food and drinks were probably snack stalls and coffee shops.
Alright, let's go back to the mansion's dining hall for lunch, and we can also visit my older sister while we're there.
And so, Chao Ke walked toward the mansion.
【Jia Zi Wei Restaurant】is doing quite well; even outside of mealtimes, the line of customers still stretches out the door.
However, a shop on the other side of the mansion caught Chao Ke's attention.
Several pedestrians bought a newspaper at this shop before queuing up at [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].
Chao Kemo stroked his chin as he recalled.
"Isn't that Louis's snack shop? Why are they selling newspapers now?"
"I hope it won't be driven out of business by [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant]."
With these thoughts in mind, Chao Ke stepped forward to check.
The store owner hasn't changed; it's still Louis selling fish and chips, and he's kept the fryer and insulated box. It seems he hasn't given up on the food service industry.
At that moment, Louis was skewering fish with his head down when he saw someone approaching. He spoke casually.
"Newspapers are 1000 Mora each. Buy five newspapers and get two bottles of Fonda free. Buy ten newspapers and get a plate of delicious fish and chips free. Buy fifteen newspapers and get a jar of fruit gummies free."
"Of course, you can also buy them separately; my fish and chips are also excellent."
"Oh? What kind of newspaper are you selling? It's so expensive! Even the Steambird News is only a few hundred moras."
Chao Ke asked curiously, and casually picked up a newspaper to read.
Newspaper headline: "Shocking! Jia Zi Wei Restaurant suspected of being affiliated with the official Fengdanting Group; the Mansion Group may be facing suppression!"
The column below lists the period and the name of the newspaper or magazine.
Thursday, May 10th, The Amazing Newspaper.
Chao Ke's lips twitched, and he glanced at the other newspapers in Louis's shop.
"Alright! It's all this one."
Chao Ke tapped Louis's counter with his finger, rather speechless, interrupting Louis who was frying fish pieces.
"Coming, coming, stop knocking."
Louis spoke impatiently, but when he looked up, he saw that the person who had come was Chao Ke, the owner of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].
Louis took a few steps back guiltily, chuckled awkwardly, and greeted Chao Ke.
