"My name is Eula Lawrence, from Mondstadt."

"Lawrence? I am familiar with this last name, but according to my information, Lawrence seems to be notorious in Mond."

Eula frowned. What's the matter? Is Lawrence now hated not only by the people of Mond, but also by people from neighboring countries?

The other party continued, "My name is Yan Fei, and I'm a lawyer. So, Miss Lawrence, can you tell me why you, a noble from Mondstadt, would appear in the slums of Liyue and even threaten and force these people to say something?"

lawyer?

Youla remembered that Ren Zha had also studied law before.

"You don't seem to be from the slums?"

Youla did not answer Yan Fei's words, but asked the other party. The clothes of this person who called herself "Yan Fei" were not as tattered as those of others. They looked like normal Liyue clothes.

"I came here to investigate a case, and as soon as I came in, I saw you threatening the people here - were you trying to trick me just now?" Yan Feiqing frowned and continued, "I know that the people you knocked down are not good people, but in comparison, I am more curious about you. I can see from your eyes that you are very anxious, as if you are in a hurry, like a spy from another country who has received an urgent mission. It is impossible not to pay attention."

Does she think I'm some dangerous person who sneaked into another country?

Are you here to investigate the case?

Youla asked directly: "Let me ask, are you investigating a case involving poison?"

Yan Fei's expression changed: "I never told you what case I came here for. You really have a problem."

"It seems I guessed right."

Eula was excited, as she could find clues by coming to this place!

"I'm sorry, I don't have much time, so can you tell me more about the poison?"

After saying this, Youla suddenly became alert and stepped back. A flame fell from the sky where she had just stood. If she hadn't dodged, she would have been hit by it.

Eula saw the Eye of God on Yan Fei light up, and it was obvious that Yan Fei had just controlled the Eye of God to launch the attack.

"Can I understand your words just now as you intend to arrest me and interrogate me about the case?"

Yan Fei asked.

"No, not really. I don't think we are enemies. I feel like we are not thinking in the same way. Forget it. If this can help you tell me about the poison as soon as possible..."

Eula clenched the sword in her hand and walked towards Yanfei. Yanfei attacked Eula several times on the way to stop her progress, but she either dodged it or Eula controlled the ice-attributed Eye of God to condense ice to resist Yanfei's attack.

This person is very strong!

Yan Fei shouted in her heart.

Although he possesses the God's Eye with fire attribute, he is not very good at fighting. Compared with fighting, he prefers to deal with cases that are not difficult.

Now it seems that this case is very difficult!

Oh no, someone’s getting close to us!

Yan Fei had already seen Eula approaching, and she raised the greatsword in her hand and slashed towards herself.

With this sword, I will be split in half!

Can't escape!

Yan Fei closed her eyes, but the sword did not come down. It made a crisp sound when it hit the floor. This sound made Yan Fei open her eyes again, and she looked at Eula and asked:

"You could have hit me just now, why?"

Eula asked back, "Why should I do this? I just want to prove that I have no ill will towards you and we are not enemies. I am not very good at explaining, so now you can communicate with me properly, right? I came here to look for clues because my father had a strange disease. I want to protect my family, and I want to know the truth."

"You seem to be different from the Lawrence I know."

Yan Fei looked at Youla's determined eyes with complicated eyes.

Perhaps, this guy is a true aristocrat, a nobleman with a noble spirit.

Chapter 42: Conclusive Evidence

"It seems that I did misunderstand. I apologize." Yan Fei explained, "In an inheritance distribution case I was responsible for, the employer suddenly got a strange disease and died. It is possible that he was poisoned because of the uneven distribution of the inheritance. According to my investigation, the poison is likely to come from this area. And you, an outsider, suddenly appeared here at this time, which aroused my suspicion. I thought you were also plotting against the poison, so I targeted you just now."

Distribution of inheritance?

Youla felt like she had grasped something, but the focus at the moment was not this. She opened her mouth and asked Yan Fei: "I see, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. I want to ask, what is the condition of your sick employer?"

"Headache, weakness in the limbs, severe coughing, if it were just these, it would be considered a normal illness, but it was followed by alcoholism... My employer rarely drank before, but before the onset of the disease, he was drinking like crazy."

Eula clenched her fists: "My father is the same."

Sure enough, my father was poisoned! I was not overthinking it!

Once, twice, three times, and once again, it is impossible for there to be so many coincidences!

So, Ren Zha, could it be you who did it?

"Is there an antidote for this poison?"

Youla asked Yan Fei anxiously, since it has been confirmed that her father has been poisoned, she must go back with the antidote to save her father!

"For this kind of thing, we need to find the person who sells this medicine first." As she spoke, Yan Fei looked at the people on the ground who had been knocked down by Eula before, "I think these people would be willing to provide some information, right?"

Although she didn't say any threatening words, her tone was full of threats, as if she would force a confession if she didn't tell the truth. This made Eula wonder in her heart, is she really a lawyer? Would a lawyer do such a thing?

However, I don’t hate communicating with Yan Fei.

Eula's giant sword once again stabbed in front of the people on the ground. Seeing the two enemies joining hands, the people admitted defeat one after another: "We know what you are looking for. There is a merchant who sells medicinal herbs at a high price. If you want to find information about poison, you should go to him."

Yan Fei and You La looked at each other, and took a few people to find the black-hearted businessman. The black-hearted businessman was still thinking about escaping but was easily captured by the two of them. The two also found a large amount of poison in the black-hearted businessman's shop.

"It seems that the evidence is conclusive. Next, please come with me to meet the Qianyan Army."

Eula nodded: "But before that, I have one more thing to confirm."

Youla took out a photo taken with a camera and showed it to the black-hearted businessman. In the photo was Ren Zha.

"Have you ever seen this person? Has he ever bought medicine from you?"

The black-hearted businessman looked at the photo in Eula's hand and nodded: "I remember he came here two months ago."

Youla clenched her fists and the photo twisted and turned in her hands.

Ren——zha——!

Sure enough, it's you!

Although I hope so much that this person is not you, I still have a little expectation for you in my heart, but, you - indeed, have been a scumbag from the beginning to the end!

Thinking of that night of passion and every little detail of the past month, Youla's face was colder than ever before. Even Yan Fei, who was standing next to her, could feel the chill. She looked at Youla's face and asked, "Are you okay? Your face looks very cold. Is the person in the photo the one who poisoned your father? Is he very important to you?"

Eula replied calmly, "Well, if it weren't for this incident, I would marry him and become his wife."

"what--?"

Yan Fei opened her mouth in surprise, and finally comforted her, "But this is also lucky. Now that I know in advance, I don't have to marry such a prisoner in the future. It can be regarded as recovering some losses."

That being said, I suffered a lot of losses that day!

"You don't need to comfort me. I'm not the kind of sentimental girl. Now that we have confirmed who poisoned my father, the relationship between him and me is over."

Well, Ren Zha, our relationship is over!

As Eula spoke, she tore the photo in her hand into pieces and scattered them into the air.

"Now I just want to bring him to justice!"

Ren Zha, wait for me, I will be back soon, but I will not marry you, but send you to prison!

Yan Fei looked at Youla's eyes which were not confused but determined, and had an illusion that this child named Youla had grown up a bit, not in strength but in state of mind.

"I understand. As an apology for my previous misunderstanding of you, if you need help, although my strength is not very strong, I still have some connections in Liyue. I can help me finish the trial of the case I am currently in charge of as soon as possible. After that, I will accompany you to Mondstadt and the Knights to testify for you with the witnesses and physical evidence."

"Thank you, Yan Fei."

"You're welcome. After all, I was in the wrong first, and I think you and I will get along well. Well, this place is not very safe after all. Let's escort this merchant to the Thousand Rocks Army first. I see you are very tired. Once we arrive at the Thousand Rocks Army's base, the Thousand Rocks Army will accompany you all the way. We have Lord Rock God in Liyue, so even the restless Fatui will not dare to confront the Thousand Rocks Army head-on. You can rest assured and have a good rest then."

"Ah."

Youla nodded. She was indeed very tired after riding for a whole day. It was time to have a good rest so that she would have the energy to go back and settle the score with Ren Zha!

I want to go back and ask Ren Zha why he did this!

And...has my relationship with myself been deceiving me for the past month?

Wait for me, Ren Zha!

-

Mond, night.

Ren Zha, who was completely unable to sleep at home, stumbled alone on the street, with a bottle of wine in his hand and a bit of drunkenness on his face, appearing to have drunk a lot of alcohol.

"Gulu..."

Ren Zha frowned, raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, thinking in his heart:

"Damn it, the Fools replied that they were looking for an opportunity to attack Eula, but so much time has passed and there is no new reply. Is Eula dead now? Or has she found evidence?"

Ren Zha wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and looked at the bottle in his hand.

"Wine, I couldn't control myself, I actually did the same thing as my scumbag dad!"

He couldn't help but take another big gulp of wine.

“Damn it! Eula——!”

Ren Zha couldn't help but curse out loud.

Chapter 43 This is an experiment!

It actually made me addicted to alcohol!

Only under the stimulation of alcohol can I feel more comfortable!

Eula, Eula, why do you always like to do it behind my back? Can't you just follow my ideas?

I should have made it a priority to get rid of you first!

"Gulu..."

Ren Zha was drinking and stumbling forward, when he saw two thieves with their faces covered and bags on their backs sneaking along the edge of the road in front of him.

This outfit, is it a treasure-stealing group?

The treasure-stealing group sneaked into Mondstadt again?

It looked like he had finished his theft and was planning to sneak out of town.

The Knights of Favonius are indeed a bunch of rubbish!

Ren Zha didn't want to pay attention to the two treasure-stealing groups, but one of them looked to the side and saw that Ren Zha noticed him, so he quickly pulled his companion and whispered:

"Brother! We've been discovered!"

"Were we seen? I was planning to sneak out, but now that we've been seen, there's nothing I can do!"

Two members of the treasure-stealing group jumped directly in front of Ren Zha, and one of them pointed at the wine bottle in Ren Zha's hand and said:

"He's just a rotten drunkard, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

A drunkard?

Ren Zha narrowed his eyes.

The treasure-stealing group was still laughing at him, "Not only is he a drunkard, he's also a brat. Hey, brat, the treasure-stealing group will never leave empty-handed. It's your misfortune to see us two brothers. You look well-dressed, so you must have a lot of money on you, right? Come on, if you don't want to be tortured, hand over all the money you have on you!"

Ren Zha stopped drinking.

These two scumbags actually wanted to rob me?

Why has everything been going wrong lately?

Seeing that Ren Zha was still not paying, the treasure-stealing group lost their patience and asked, "Hey, kid, don't tell me you don't have any money on you? Did you spend all your money on wine?"

Ren Zha couldn't bear it any longer, he clenched the neck of the wine bottle in his hand, and blew it at the face of the treasure-stealing group who were leaning over and talking nonstop.
