Chapter 711 Let's try this sweet wine
Navia tilted her head in confusion when she heard Xu Ning's question.
Seeing that Xu Ning had no intention of explaining, Navia had no choice but to answer.
"Perhaps Mr. Xu Ning doesn't know much about our Rose Society. Since my father founded this mutual aid organization, we have taken it upon ourselves to help and protect the residents of Fontainebleau. We will not intentionally harm anyone except for truly evil people."
"So my answer is very clear: I will not pursue the truth by concealing it, even if it means losing the clues to the missing girl case again, I will not do such a thing."
Looking at Navia's resolute expression, Xu Ning smiled and said, "I understand. Then please go ahead and investigate this case. If you need me to prove the authenticity of the dissolution, just say the word, and I can personally demonstrate it to everyone."
Navia had come here specifically to hear Xu Ning's words. Upon hearing Xu Ning's assurance, she immediately stood up to express her gratitude and then went down to find Kong and Linni.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped down the stairs, Navia frowned.
"Why did Xu Ning ask me that question? Does he think this incident is unrelated to the serial disappearances of girls? Silver, what was the identity information that missing girl registered when she entered the opera house?"
The younger of the men in black, Silver, was prepared. "Helsey, a woman from Fontainebleau, is a painter who is somewhat well-known in their circle."
Navia pondered for a moment, "Find a way to get the message to the people outside the opera house. We must confirm whether she entered the opera house today before everyone else does. If she is still alive and well outside, let's invite her to the Grey River outpost for a cup of tea."
As suspects, Linni and the magic troupe, along with Kong and Paimon as their agents, are definitely not allowed to go out freely.
Now that Navia has taken the initiative to participate in Linnifang's investigation, her information has been registered by the security team, and her activity area has naturally been restricted to the opera house.
No one is allowed to leave this place until the trial concludes tomorrow.
Fortunately, the Fontaine Garrison wasn't entirely heartless; they not only provided meals but also thoughtfully brought tents and sleeping bags.
The only downside was that the food was just so-so, which led Navia to start baking macarons on a small stove.
Although Xu Ning nominally appears to be on the accusation side, neither the water goddess Funina nor Navilet have given the guards any special instructions, so he can actually come and go freely, and the guards will not deliberately prepare meals for him.
But Xu Ning didn't seem inclined to go out. She called out to Qingyi and asked her to prepare some small snacks that were easy to grab. She casually placed them on the seat next to her and then stared at the entrance with interest.
After a while, Xu Ning suddenly laughed and then slowly began to speak.
"You just stole Little Paimon's macarons, and the poor little one is hungry. You have no idea how much she can eat."
"..."
"No need to rush off. Look, I even prepared food for you in advance. Let's chat. We're both pretty bored anyway."
A low voice sounded from behind the seat, "How did you find me?"
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink and chuckled, "There are countless ways to do that. But to be fair, your methods of concealment are indeed impressive. So many people searched the opera house for evidence, turning it upside down, and they still couldn't find you. But why didn't you leave through the main entrance? Did you have something else in mind?"
The low voice carried a hint of helplessness, "I want to leave, but Agent Melissa is guarding that spot, and I can't get out at all."
Xu Ning turned her head and glanced at Meilushin by the door again, and laughed, "I was just wondering why you kept circling around there. Turns out she's really something."
"It's not her, it's them."
The voice sighed in frustration, “Due to their racial gifts, the Merusin have a natural vision that is different from that of humans. My supposedly clever methods of concealment... I don’t even know what they see. Since the Shadow Court started hiring a large number of Merusin, it has become increasingly difficult for us to make a living here. We might as well go back to Mondstadt.”
“Your hometown is Mondstadt, so you’ll definitely like this.”
Xu Ning took out a small bowl and filled it with Qian Feng's wine. "Won't your throat get dry just eating those peach blossom pastries? Try this sweet wine."
The wine in the small bowl was drunk up in an instant, so it seems that the guy hiding there was indeed thirsty.
Xu Ning waited a while, then poured another bowl. "After hearing about Meiluxin, I suddenly felt that the little thing at the door was someone's way of deliberately keeping you here. What are you going to do next? You don't actually think you still have a chance to escape, do you?"
The voice said angrily, "I don't know either. I've been hiding here all day, exhausted and thirsty, and I still can't think of a way. What can I do? Jump out and confess now?"
Xu Ning chuckled, "Of course you have to plead guilty, but there are timing and methods to plead guilty. Who wants ten years when they can get five? Come on, eat more to keep your strength up so you're qualified to participate in the show."
After Xu Ning fed the "invisible man," Charlotte ran up excitedly.
"Hey? What smells so good? Was Mr. Xu Ning secretly eating something delicious just now?"
Charlotte sniffed the lingering scent in the air, her voice tinged with a hint of anticipation.
Xu Ning casually tossed the dishes he had just cleaned into the Hidden Dust Cave, subtly shattering the girl's little thoughts.
"You can't touch my things. The security detail doesn't restrict a big reporter like you from coming and going. Go out to eat by yourself. Let's get down to business. What have you found?"
Charlotte excitedly held up her camera when this was mentioned.
"With my unprecedented powerful blessing, Mr. Wen Hengting, I have uncovered countless secrets: bribery, favoritism, poaching, illegal modifications. Now, if I so desire, I can even make the entire Enforcement Court tremble... However, Melousin is quite peculiar. Their thoughts seem very organized, but none of them seem to be on the right track..."
Xu Ning helplessly reached out and pressed down, signaling the guy in front of him to calm down.
"Are you having so much fun that you've forgotten what you were supposed to be doing?"
Charlotte then realized, "Oh, there is indeed a guy. Because I can't directly ask him what he thinks about Linnie or this case, I have no way of knowing his true thoughts. But from observing him, I find his thoughts and behavior to be very strange. I'll point you out... it's him."
