Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

"What are you up to?"

"Clang! The great detective, Funina, makes her grand entrance! Rejoice, you who have been wronged! Fear, the evil forces of Fontaine! This detective will be the last ray of dawn to illuminate the dark world!"

"Don't you laugh at yourself for saying that?"

"Hey! What are you doing!"

In her nervousness, Funina's monocle suddenly fell off and shattered on the ground. As she bent down to pick it up, her top hat also fell off.

She raised her comical face, which had only a small mustache.

"It's all your fault! You've ruined my carefully prepared outfit!"

Lu Sheng helped her pick up her hat and put it back on her head. "Your outfit won't really turn you into a detective in a book. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

"Come on in."

As Funina entered the room, she muttered to herself, "You don't understand. The right attire helps me immerse myself in the role and adapt to the detective character more quickly."

She sat down and asked, "You have a sign for the Black Cat Detective Agency hanging outside. Did you get the name inspired by the Black Cat Phantom Thief I played?"

Lu Sheng laughed heartily, "The black cat saw it, but the phantom thief didn't. Without me, you would have turned into Hakimi long ago."

What is Hakimi?

"It means cute."

Funina said smugly, "Of course! I'm the cutest!"

When it comes to teasing idiots, Lu Sheng is a master.

"By the way, you want me to reopen the case of Kares from back then. Where should I start? If I suddenly reopen it without any reason, it will definitely be questioned."

Lu Sheng leaned against the table, poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said, "It's already quite good that you thought of this. This case really can't be initiated by you. You only need to be responsible for solving the case. Someone else will initiate the retrial."

"I know! It must be Navia!"

Funina couldn't wait to say the name of the person she was thinking of. She had already put herself into the detective's mind and was gradually falling in love with the feeling of using her brain.

Kares was the previous president of the Rose of the Thorns Society. After his death, his daughter Navia succeeded him as president and has been investigating the truth behind his death for many years without ever giving up.

Through her, it would be easy to request a reinvestigation of that case.

"It is indeed Navia. You can be quite clever when you're smart, but you can't go looking for her on your own initiative."

"Ah? Why?"

Lu Sheng explained, "You solved the case to re-establish your authority. You did everything behind the scenes. How can you let the Fengdan people see what their water god did?"

"No matter how much you do, what you can't see doesn't count. Only what others can see counts. You must remember this principle deeply. If you do something bad, even if it's just spitting on the ground, never let anyone see it. If you do something good, even if it's just helping an old lady cross the street, it's best to let everyone see it."

“I will help you find Navia. She will then go to Navilette to request a retrial, but Navilette will definitely not agree. You will need to step forward to refute Navilette and take the initiative to take on the responsibility of the retrial.”

Funina hesitated. "You want me to refute Vilette in public? Really?"

"Can't you do it?"

"Who can't do it! I am the Water Goddess! This is a case I want to retry, what right does a high-ranking judge have to speak up? Retry! It must be retried!"

Funina slammed her hand on the table and said loudly with full confidence.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 148: Clarinde's Mature Charm

"Go back and wait until Navia makes a big fuss before you step in. Also, the key to Kares' case is the primordial fetal water. You should know what that is. Go back and think carefully about the suspicious points in the case, and make full preparations."

Lu Sheng then added, "If you can solve the case, I'll give you a gift."

"A gift?" Funina asked curiously, "What gift?"

"Aren't you curious about my background? If you can solve the case, I can tell you my true identity."

"Really?! It's a deal! No backing out! Even if it kills all my brain cells, I will find out the truth!"

A moment later, Funina left the detective agency humming a cheerful tune.

Claude arrived shortly after.

"Was that Lady Funina just now? I'm not mistaken, am I?"

Clarind watched the figure disappear around the corner and murmured to herself.

She wore a loose-fitting tracksuit today, just as Mr. Sherlock had said, to relax her body as much as possible and not let her muscles be restricted by tight clothing.

This was the first time Clarinde had dressed like this outside of her home, and she had to admit that it was much more comfortable than wearing a corset.

In Fontainebleau, where etiquette is highly valued, every young lady around the age of twelve is required by her parents to wear a suffocating corset to make her waist appear slender and upright.

It looks beautiful, but the torment it endures is also extremely painful.

To have a strong and powerful waist, and to become stronger, you must abandon the bad habit of wearing corsets.

Clarinde knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Lu Sheng looked up and saw Klorind push the door open and come in. She had changed her clothes and looked much less fierce. She had become more mature and gentle. Even the loose clothes could not hide the perfect curves formed by her powerful stats. She had a strange sense of being a wife.

Good morning, Master.

Good morning, apprentice.

Clarinde noticed that her master, Sherlock, had changed into a formal suit and put on a coat, seemingly about to leave.

"Want to go out?"

"Yes, but there's no rush. Let's finish today's training first."

"it is good."

Clarinde lay flat on the carpet, letting her instructor hold her legs down, and began her 1,000 sit-ups for the day.

Lu Sheng thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

The layout, fullness, and elasticity of the room are all clearly visible.

Those who can resist going on are truly amazing.

But don't rush. Just like a new car needs to be tuned first, the more you maintain it, the more enjoyable it will be to drive in the future.

If Clarin had mastered all eighteen moves, she would be a hundred times stronger than she is now!

After finishing her training, Clarinde was soaked in sweat, her clothes clinging to her skin and perfectly showing off her body shape.

Wow, there are even little details here.

Lu Sheng glanced at her, then stood up, grabbed a clean towel, and tossed it to Clarinde.

"Let's wipe it clean, we have work to do."

Clarin wiped the sweat from her face and asked, "Have you received a new commission?"

Lu Sheng shook his head. "Where would my newly opened detective agency get business? I built my reputation myself, so I decided to take the initiative and solve the unsolved cases left behind by Fontaine."

"I did a little investigation and found a cold case. If we can solve this case, our detective agency will become an instant sensation!"

Clarinde's curiosity was also piqued. As a Shadow Hunter, solving cases was part of her job, and she was equally interested in the unsolved case in Fontaine.

"What case? If needed, I can help provide the case file from back then."

Of course, Clarinde didn't forget the main quest, and getting closer to Sherlock was also an essential part of the mission.

"The Carles murder case."

Upon hearing this, the towel in Clarinde's hand fell silently to the ground. She stared at Sherlock in utter shock. "How could it be this case! Couldn't we have chosen another one?"

Her reaction was exactly what Lu Sheng had expected.

After all, the person in question died at the hands of Clorind.

"Why switch? Only tricky cases can showcase my detective skills. As far as I know, this case caused quite a stir back then, and... you were involved in it too."

"There are too many suspicious points here, and I'm sure you've been bothered by it all along, haven't you? So, don't you want to know the truth behind this? In my deduction, there's a high chance that Kares is innocent."

"What? You think so too?" Clarinde jumped to her feet. "But that case happened a long time ago, and the person involved died in the dueling arena. Finding out the truth is almost impossible..."

Lu Sheng reprimanded his disciple with displeasure: "Impossible! Impossible! What in this world is actually possible? As my disciple, you are absolutely forbidden from ever uttering the word 'impossible'!"

Clarinde was speechless for a moment before finally uttering a single word: "Yes."

"Okay, tell me the whole story in detail first."

Lu Sheng walked to the sofa and sat down, making the signature Sherlock Holmes gesture. He placed his hands on the armrests, fingers touching, and crossed his legs to listen carefully to the events of the case.

Claurind then recounted the entire "Injustice of Carles" case from beginning to end.

Kares, the former president of the Rose Society, shot and killed his friend Jacques at a banquet. He was arrested on the spot. During the interrogation after the incident, Kares remained silent, neither admitting to the crime nor defending himself. Instead, he chose to engage in a legal duel to escape trial.

During the duel, Kares was determined to die and refused to admit defeat. Helpless, Clarind, as the duel's proxy, had no choice but to kill him.

His death also cemented his family's infamy on the pillar of shame.

Claudia felt guilty about this because she could see that Kares was determined to die and always felt that he chose to die to protect some secret.

However, due to insufficient evidence and the death of the perpetrator, Chief Justice Navelette declared the case closed, and no official investigation was conducted afterward.

Only Carles' daughter, Navia, continues her relentless investigation into the truth behind her father's death.

Entrusted by Kares before his death, Clorinde has been secretly protecting Navia for the past few years, but Navia has always regarded her as her father's killer and has been very indifferent to her.

After listening to Claurind's story, Lu Sheng opened his eyes from his meditation.

"Since there are still people investigating, that makes things simpler. I'd like to meet Navia, the new president of the Rose Society. Can you help me get in touch with her?"

A hint of difficulty flashed across Clarin's face. "It's possible...but..."

"Don't worry, I can tell that your relationship with her is complicated. Once the truth comes out, your relationship will definitely improve, won't it?"

"You don't want to spend your whole life living with her hatred, do you?"

Claude gritted her teeth. "Fine, I'll take you to see Navia!"
