Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"However, because the water level keeps rising, this place will be submerged in the future if it doesn't stop, so it was abandoned," she added.

Place the portable lamp on the table and turn it on.

With a hum, the room was illuminated by a cool, clear light.

"sit down."

"Why come to a place like this instead of your own home?"

Xia Wore did not respond, but instead pulled over a chair and sat down.

Luna sat down at the table opposite her without hesitation.

"Do you really enjoy being in a high position?" Xia Worei asked in surprise.

No matter when, this guy always has to stand or sit on high ground.

“If Miss Chavore wishes, I can sit a little lower down,” Luna said with a smile, her hands on the table and swinging her legs, without moving.

"If you say that again, I'll shoot. I have no interest in arguing with you..."

"I can't believe it," Xia Worei said impatiently, then pulled the familiar gem out of her pocket.

Tears of a young girl.

"Lady Vilette said that it does indeed retain human consciousness and voice, and more than one."

"Vilette?" Luna pondered. "Speaking of which, Vilette has lived for quite a long time... What exactly is his identity?"

Luna didn't know much about Navelette. Her "father" certainly knew more, but he had never mentioned it to them.

She knew the following: 1. He was sent by Funina.

2. They value and cherish the likes of Meilushin.

3. And, he is a supreme judge who is so impartial that he could even be described as cold-blooded.

Let's leave that aside for now. Since that Violet says so, then it must be the truth.

Like Chavoret, she believed in the judge's impartiality.

"Did you know the truth from the beginning before you stole it?" Xia Worei asked.

"No, I just wanted to steal it."

She wasn't surprised.

Moreover, Xia Wore couldn't tell whether what Luna said was true or false.

Luna took the Tear of the Maiden and examined it carefully: "So our reasoning is correct, someone can turn the human body into a substance that can be made into gemstones."

Xia Worei said softly, "The problem is—is it liquid or solid? As long as we can distinguish between them, there may be new discoveries and perspectives on previously unsolved cases."

"...I think it's liquid."

Xia Worei didn't look at her, still pondering: "Reason?"

"rain."

"rain?"

"If I were a prisoner, I would choose liquid. Turning a person into powder, letting them be blown away by the wind or buried in the ground, there's always a slight chance they'll be noticed."

Xia Worei narrowed her eyes and replied, "And what Fontaine has the least to lack is water."

Luna bent down and pulled on Xia Worei's bangs.

"A single rain shower is enough to wash away all traces of evil, isn't that efficient?"

“But that means it won’t leave any trace,” Xia Wore said.

“That’s right, obtaining direct evidence is difficult. But you already know who the suspects are, don’t you?”

The Cabrière Chamber of Commerce.

Xia Worei pondered for a moment and said, "After going around in circles, we've come full circle back to where we started."

However, many things are now clear, and the truth is gradually coming to light.

This is already a huge breakthrough.

And this was largely thanks to the phantom thief before her... though it certainly left a lingering feeling. Chavore raised her eyes and grabbed Luna's wrist.

"Let me say it first."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Luna's face, and then she tried to withdraw her hand.

But they were held very tightly.

"Saying thank you while holding on to me? Being too enthusiastic will scare people away." She gave up and slid off the table, standing in front of Xia Worei.

"Because you don't seem to intend to return the tears of a young girl."

Luna held the Maiden's Tear in her other hand, and gently tossed it into her sleeve.

"You know there are dead people here."

"I know, but I don't know what you're planning to do now." Xia Worei showed no intention of letting go, her tone cold as she scrutinized Luna.

What do you think I want to do?

"I don't know. I don't know you."

Every word Xia Wore said today was unexpected by Luna.

She pondered, "Does that mean Miss Xia Wore wants to know about me?"

"If it is necessary."

"To catch me?"

"Correct."

No wonder.

Luna was very satisfied with Xia Worei's answer; such a crisp and refreshing response was exactly what Xia Worei should have. Simple and pure.

“I want to destroy it.”

Chavorei remained silent for a moment: "For now, it remains the property of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce."

"Do you think I care?"

It's impossible for them to care.

She steals treasures when she wants to, and similarly, she destroys things when she wants to. This is not surprising.

However, Xia Wore did not comment on this.

"Why do you want to destroy it?"

Xia Wore wanted to know this even more.

"To be honest," she added.

Although she couldn't tell which was true and which was false, hearing her say she wanted to know more about the phantom thief, White Cat, might just fulfill her wish.

Yes, it's just gambling. She doesn't like gambling, but sometimes likes and dislikes don't matter.

"Wanting to know me is fine, but I have no reason to grant Captain's wish, do I?"

"........."

"Let's make a deal. Let me wipe your sweat and I'll tell you. If I'm in a good mood, I can tell you even more, especially about what you need to pay attention to next."

Xia Wore saw right through her: "You just want to use the special patrol team."

"Why don't you just turn the tables and use me instead?"

"You have no credibility whatsoever."

"Since we're not business partners, why should I keep my word?"

Luna shook her index finger, looking disappointed: "People have to be responsible for their own words. The captain who rejected my suggestion turned around and said I was wrong. It's really unfair."

Although they weren't pointing guns at each other, the tension was palpable.

Even if they don't actually fight, they'll still argue verbally.

Chavoret felt a bit annoyed and tired of it all. She'd rather interrogate criminals than keep arguing with this peculiar white cat thief.

Tell me, what is it about me that you'd want to play with so much?

That's right.

Luna didn't hide anything and said, "Of course, it's the mind."

"So that's how it is. You take pleasure in destroying other people's spirits?"

"Absolutely not. On the contrary, when I encounter a beautiful soul, I want to cherish and protect it. Please don't question the aesthetics of the phantom thief."

Luna paused, then moved her face closer, gently stroking the beauty mark on Xia Worei's lips with her thumb.

“But I do think Miss Chavory’s beauty mark is very pretty,” she said, her face slightly flushed.

"........towel."

"uh-huh?"

"If I used my hands instead of a towel, I would shoot you into a hornet's nest."

Luna was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "Wow, you actually know what I'm thinking. It seems you're starting to understand me."

Sigh... Xia Wore felt a terrible headache.

"let go."

"Do not."

"Then I'll use another spot to wipe it for you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Worei hesitated for a second before letting go of her hand.
