Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

Lu Sheng sat in the middle, listening to everyone's discussions.

He knew who the real murderer was, but if he just said it out loud, it would be meaningless.

It’s like when you’re watching Conan and as soon as you click on the barrage, the word “murderer” appears above someone’s head.

Greatly ruined the experience for others.

How could Furninna learn to think carefully?

Moreover, this matter must be reported in its entirety by young reporters. The more difficult and confusing it is, the more it can demonstrate the God of Water's ingenuity.

At most I can give some key hints.

Not long into the reasoning, Clorinde arrived in her home clothes, bringing snacks and tea.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Clorinde confessed: "I am now Mr. Sherlock's assistant and apprentice. I moved here last night."

It seems that the result of the judicial duel was indeed a huge blow to Clorinde.

A dignified Shadow Hunter actually ran to a detective's house and worked as a maid, responsible for serving tea and water.

Who would have believed that such a thing could happen under normal circumstances?

"Don't look at me with such strange eyes. I moved here to learn martial arts more conveniently. Mr. Sherlock's training method is very effective. In just three or four days, I feel that I have become much stronger..."

Lu Sheng was trying not to smile, thinking to himself, "It's a miracle that the full set of 18 moves is useful. It's because I have been nourishing you with the Thunder God's Heart during training."

"It's a good thing to make progress, Clorinde. You have already mastered the cart-pushing move. Just keep practicing it every day. Next, I will teach you the second move, Kato's Hand."

"Hand of Kato?" Clorinde became excited. She didn't expect that she could learn the second move so quickly.

Funina was also very curious: "Ah? What is that?"

Lu Sheng explained very seriously: "Kato is a finger-wielding immortal who founded a school in Inazuma. He is famous for his unique skill of golden fingers and has killed countless female demons. His finger technique can be hard or soft, can advance or retreat, is invulnerable to water and fire, and is indestructible. His control of strength is so accurate that it is unimaginable for ordinary people."

"If you can learn half of his essence, you will already be a master of the Dao of Finger. You can kill people with two fingers. And no matter what kind of weapon you use, your accuracy and control will be improved by several levels. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone."

Clorinde's eyes sparkled.

Can it increase the accuracy and control of weapons?

He was using a gunpowder and a one-handed sword, which would be a perfect match for Kato's hands!

The others felt it was impressive, and some even envied Clorinde, as it sounded like a particularly awesome move.

The key point is that Sherlock actually knows Inazuma's martial arts, which adds to the mysteries surrounding him. No one can guess how many secrets he is hiding.

"Ahem." Lu Sheng brought the topic back on track. "We've strayed off topic. Let's talk about the case. Where were we just reviewing?"

Navia: "We have just started reviewing the day when the banquet started."

"continue."

As an eyewitness of that day, the old butler Miles recalled, "I remember it was a rainy day. Marcelle, the president of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce, hosted a banquet. Halfway through the banquet, my master went outside the manor with the victim, Jacques. Not long after, gunshots rang out. When everyone went out, they saw Master Carres standing in the rain with a pistol in his hand, and Jacques had already fallen in a pool of blood."

After Myles finished his statement, Lu Sheng asked Funina: "Lord Water God, do you have any special insights on this?"

Finna bit her lower lip, realizing that the moment Sherlock had arranged for her to perform had arrived.

She had already guessed all kinds of possibilities in her room, and now she stood up and began her own reasoning.

"The four elements of a murder case are nothing more than the time of the crime, the location of the crime, the tools used to commit the crime, and the motive for the crime. Anyone who can meet the above four elements must be the murderer without a doubt."

"Therefore, we can infer the four major elements of Mr. Cares's crime. First, the time of the crime was during the banquet. There is no doubt about this. Many people can testify that Cares had ample time to commit the crime."

"Next is the location of the crime. It's the same as the time of the crime. Carres was in the banquet manor when the crime happened. He has no alibi."

"Then there is the murder weapon. It is an indisputable fact that Jacques died from a pistol, and it is also a fact that Carres was holding a pistol. There are many eyewitnesses who can prove this, so this element is also established."

"Finally, the motive for the crime is the most questionable of the four elements. Why did Carres want to kill Jacques? What grudge did they have? As far as I know, they were once good friends. It's impossible for them to suddenly turn against each other and shoot each other to death, right?"

"So my conclusion is that Kress's motive for committing the crime is insufficient, and the investigation must focus on the relationship between him and Jacques."

Everyone agreed with Funina's reasoning.

So everyone started discussing the relationship between Carres and Jacques.

Miles recalled: "My master was indeed a friend of Jacques, but they had a dispute at the beginning, because Jacques was a peddler selling Les, and he was on the wrong path. It was my master who persuaded him to give up the Les industry and start a legitimate business."

Young reporter Charlotte caught the key information and immediately said, "Les? Isn't that a drink that has long been banned? Because it is highly addictive, just a small sip can make people so happy that they completely lose their minds."

Finina: "I remember that Villette had ordered the Court of Justice to clear out all the Les dealers in the market. This drink should have disappeared by now."

"No." Charlotte said a bombshell, "In some places, there are still many smuggled Les trades. I have personally visited those places to investigate! But for some reason, the newspapers have never allowed me to report these things. They said that if I report them, I will be cruelly retaliated."

"What?!" Funina was furious. "This is simply lawless! Why don't you report it to Momang Palace?"

Charlotte shrugged. "I wrote anonymous letters before, but every time they fell on deaf ears. There was no response at all. On the contrary, some people even sent threatening letters to my home. I never dared to report it again."

"Is there such a thing?!"

Furninna couldn't believe it.

Has the big hand behind Le Si actually reached into Mo Mang Palace?

"Since Les is still producing, it means there must be a mastermind behind it, and his influence has spread to every corner of Fontaine."

Lu Sheng began his guidance.

"Jacques was once a Les dealer, which means he must have had some dealings with the mastermind. He chose to quit this business midway and teamed up with Carres, who hated Les. If it were me, I would definitely kill Jacques."

Navia raised her head sharply, her eyes full of hope, "Are you saying that the real murderer of Jacques is the mastermind behind the trafficking of Les?"

"It's possible. We just need to go to the underground market that Charlotte mentioned and catch a Lex dealer and ask him who his supplier is."

Lu Sheng said as he looked at Funina, "However, lynching is not legal in Fontaine. The specific method of doing it depends on Lady Funina's arrangement."

Furninna slammed the table and shouted righteously: "I am the God of Water! Who cares if it's legal or not! I am the synonym of legal! Anyone who has the courage, follow me! Let's catch people!!!"

Fontaine: Chapter 153: The Power of the Water God

The night in Fontaine is quiet.

After disguising themselves, a group of people from the Black Panther Detective Agency, led by young reporter Charlotte, came to the little-known underground black market in Fontaine.

Here, all kinds of goods that are listed as contraband by law can be found.

As long as they can afford the price, black market merchants are almost omnipotent.

Even human organs sometimes appear on the list of traded goods.

As the group was too conspicuous, after arriving at the black market, they split up to look for the seller of Le Si.

Clorinde, Charlotte, and Navia form a group of three.

After all, young journalists need protection.

Lu Sheng and Funina went their separate ways.

With their strength, they are enough to handle any trouble.

But only Lu Sheng knew that the one who needed protection the most among these people was Funina.

To put it bluntly, the young reporter might be more threatening than Funina when he wields a camera.

So after they separated, Lu Sheng secretly followed her.

Funina walked alone in the black market. The cold night air touched her skin and made her shiver.

“The atmosphere here is too weird...”

Finina's eyes hidden under the hood kept looking around, and she thought of the black market in the novel where people were eaten without leaving any bones, and she became more and more nervous.

The people here are all desperadoes who walk outside the law and are capable of doing anything.

But you must be extra careful.

After wandering around for a while, Funina noticed a stall selling potions. She thought that since Lesi was a drink, it might be related to potions.

So she gathered up her courage and went to the stall.

"Hey~ What would you like to order, sir? I have all kinds of magic potions here, I guarantee you will be satisfied! Hehehehe~"

The drug dealer, hiding his true face under the mask, enthusiastically promoted his product.

He seemed to see that the guest under the hood and cloak was a lady, so he picked up a bottle of light blue potion and promoted it: "This is a good stuff. After men drink it, they can... hehehe, you know~ it guarantees that they can fight until dawn!"

Based on years of experience in selling medicine, the noble ladies in Fontaine City are quite open-minded, but being open also means that their private lives are relatively chaotic. Sometimes when they meet some pretty boys and become interested, but the other party ends the job in a perfunctory manner, this causes dissatisfaction among the noble ladies.

Therefore, this drug has always been a hot commodity on the black market, and most of the ladies who come here are here just for it.

Furninna didn't understand at all and thought it was a potion that could enhance strength, so she asked, "Can women drink it too?"

This question confused the drug dealer. He scratched his head and replied, "I really don't know, but it should be of some use..."

Oh my god, are the people in Fontaine’s circle so extravagant nowadays?

He then picked up another bottle of pink potion and said, "Ladies, I recommend drinking this. It can make your water element become quite abundant~ Hehehe~"

"Wow~"

Furninna was actually moved.

"how much is it?"

"Friendly price, 2000 Mora, no bargaining."

"Then give me a bottle."

Funina spent money to buy the bottle of pink potion as a way to get close to her.

After the deal was made, she asked again, "Um...do you have anything here that can entertain people?"

The vendor was confused again.

Do you want to see what's in that bottle in your hand?

But he soon came to his senses.

This turns out to be a higher-end player!

"Of course! Of course!" The vendor took out a bottle of dark blue potion from the box behind him mysteriously, "Is this what you mean? Hehe!"

Furninna took the potion, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Could this be Les?"

"That's right! Just one sip will make you feel high as hell. Combined with the potion in your hand, it can make people experience a unique happiness in the world! And the price is quite cheap! Only 500 Mora!"

The vendor's tone was excited, this Lesi business was very profitable.

Once you get in touch with this stuff, it is absolutely impossible to quit. From now on, this lady will have to come to him every night to buy it. Even though the price is not expensive now, no matter how much he offers, she will cry and beg to buy it.

This is the unique effect of Lesi.

A magical potion that can make the people of Fontaine completely lose all their sanity.

Furninna's eyes lit up.

I actually found it myself!

She decisively spent money to buy Les. Now that she had substantial evidence, it was time to find Navia and Clorinde and proceed to the next stage of interrogation.

Funina is very aware of her own abilities and is not stupid enough to reveal her identity now.

Just as she turned around and was about to leave, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the other side of the black market.

As if receiving some kind of signal, the entire black market was in chaos in an instant, and all the vendors packed up their things and fled in panic.

The drug dealer who had just sold a bottle of Lexi was also panicking and ready to run away.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Don't ask! Run! There's a traitor! If you get caught, you'll go to jail!"

"Wait! Don't leave!"

Funina had finally found the evidence, how could she let the other party slip away like that?

However, the drug dealer ignored him, hurriedly packed up his things, picked up his bag and disappeared into the darkness.

Suddenly, a group of ferocious-looking men emerged from the alleys with a group of mechanical guards.

"Mechanical guards... How did they appear here? Did the Court of Justice prepare for this?"

While Funina was curious, the sound of fighting came from afar.
