Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 234 The murderer is caught; the serial disappearances of teenage girls continue.

Listening to Sedna's account, Akikawa was also somewhat puzzled. "They all went to the Opikley Opera House? Is there some opera performance or some case?"

"It's about the serial disappearances of young girls. The culprit has been caught, and it was Lord Vilette himself who made the arrest. He was apprehended just yesterday evening."

Sedna finished speaking. Akikawa was also surprised by the news, "What, what? The killer of the serial disappearances of girls has been caught?"

"Was it Villette who captured him personally?" Seeing Sedna nod in confirmation, Akiha also wore an incredulous expression. After bidding farewell to Sedna...

Akikawa then went to the Opéra Garnier, where Marcel was standing in the dock, while several young girls were wiping away tears in the plaintiff's seat.

Navelette sat on the dock and read from the stacks of papers in his hand, “Mr. Marcel, all of Les’s production comes from your Cabrière Chamber of Commerce.”

The missing girls in the serial disappearance case were not ordinary disappearances; you used special methods to dissolve them all.

For each girl you dissolved, you would keep a record of the dissolution process and a research catalog. Now, the notebook and every catalog you wrote down...

Everything is here: the machinery and samples you used for research, and the bound girl are all here. And the research base you built using materials from a dilapidated underwater ruin in Fontainebleau is also here.

The exact location has now been recorded. And your real name, Vasher, all the evidence and proof are here now.

"If Mr. Marcellor has anything to object to, please do so quickly, otherwise the trial will proceed to the next stage." The voice was devoid of any emotion.

The statement details how Marcel has confessed to everything from the suppliers of Les to all the girls involved in the serial disappearances of the girls.

All the evidence, the notebook catalog, and the research machine were all salvaged from underwater by Vilette's men.

All the evidence has been made public. It's less of a criminal prosecution and more of a formality. At this time, Akikawa also arrived at the Opizley Opera House.

Upon entering the opera house, one sees Marcel standing in the dock, all his crimes already confessed.

Marcellus, on the verge of collapse, roared with a sob in her voice, "You think...you think I wanted to do this! Doing so many bloodless acts of murder!"

You think I'm enjoying this?! Considering your feelings? Why should I?! Have you ever considered my feelings? Have you ever experienced the pain I've gone through?!

Or have you ever watched your loved one melt away before your eyes? No! You haven't! You haven't had anything like what I've experienced!

There was no one who could empathize with me; no one helped me, no one believed me! Several years ago, I reported this to the Department of Justice, and even the people there told me…

How could a person dissolve into water? You must be crazy! You've all just ignored Vinnie's death!

Now you know, right? Too late. Everyone has dissolved; not a single one is coming back! It's all your fault! What kind of high-sounding trial was this?

Pursuing justice, pursuing farce, ignoring the suffering of ordinary people! Vinier is dead! What were you doing then? What were you doing! Naviette! "Vashe angrily pointed at Funina and Naviette.

"You ignored Vinier's death, and no one believed me! Now that more people are dying, you start to care? You personally take action to uphold your so-called justice?"

And why did Vinnie die?! She was also a Fontaine, she was also one of your people, why didn't you uphold your so-called justice then?!

As Vasher once again directed his venting anger and sense of injustice at Funina, Funina, looking somewhat dejected, remained silent.

At this moment, Vasher pulled a bottle of fetal water from his pocket and drank it down in one gulp. Then, he slammed the bottle down from the interrogation table.

"Ever since Verne died, I've long lost the will to live, but I can't dissolve, I can't dissolve! I can't dissolve! I can't dissolve..."

"Just because I'm not from Fontainebleau, I don't even have the right to die alongside the one I love!" Vasher said, bursting into tears.

But after crying and wailing, he laughed, appearing completely neurotic. "The accused person seems to have lost some mental control."

"Guards, restrain him!" With Navelette's order, the guards immediately subdued Vasher, and the trial came to an end.

Watching Vashe being escorted past him, Qiuhe's eyes held a complex mix of emotions. "Qiuhe?" came Funina's voice from the throne.

Qiuhe looked towards the source of the sound and saw that Funina had noticed him. As Funina spoke, the crowd in the stands...

Looking towards the entrance, Vilette also saw Qiuhe arrive. "Brother Leyi!" A young and cheerful voice called out.

As soon as Qiuhe turned his head away, Navia ran over, jumped up, hugged him tightly, and rubbed her face against him repeatedly.

"What are you doing here, Brother Leyi? Are you here to see the play too?" Upon seeing Navia, Qiuhe looked towards the observation deck and spotted Carles and Chlorind looking in his direction.

Qiuhe gently stroked Navia, who was clinging to him like a sloth, and said, "I have some matters to discuss with Lord Water God and Lord Navelette."

"There are some important things I need to tell you two." As the crowds at the Opiclie Opera House dispersed, Akikawa, Funina, and Navigette...

They also arrived at Villette's office in the Mo Mang Palace. "So, Qiuhe, you mean, regarding the previous case of the girl's murder..."

"And that dangerous person involved in the massacre at the Chiage family's residence, you've already dealt with him." Qiuhe nodded. "I used special methods to completely eliminate that person."

I don't know how to explain the details, but basically, you should spread the news of the criminal's death as written on this paper. The panic in the hearts of the people of Fontainebleau will then recede like a receding tide.

As Qiuhe spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Navilette. Navilette took the paper and looked at the words written on it.

She then looked up at Qiuhe and said, "Then how are you going to prove to me that you didn't just scribble these things on a piece of paper to try and smooth things over?"

Hearing that serious and emotionless tone, Qiuhe sighed helplessly. "Mr. Villette...we've been dealing with each other for so long..."

Why are you still so hostile towards me? I've already said I'm not from the Hearth House. I'm just here because I have no choice in the matter.

Navelette listened, gently closing her eyes and leaning back in her chair, legs crossed. "To divide Fontaine in two, and simultaneously change the timeline of Teyvat..."

The danger of going against the current for almost half a month has persisted. To expect me to believe your one-sided account is perhaps a bit far-fetched.

"Although it was because of your turning back time and allowing me to see the potential corrupt elements within the Enforcement Court that I had the opportunity to personally investigate and completely solve the case of the serial disappearances of young girls, and finally the true culprit was caught..."

Navisette's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until finally she fell silent. After a few seconds of silent contemplation, Navisette sighed softly.

"Alright, little Qiuhe, I'll believe you this once." Seeing that Vilette had convinced herself, Qiuhe couldn't help but smile inwardly.

"Well, thank you for your recognition and approval, Mr. Villette." Qiuhe said, extending his hand in a handshake gesture.

Seeing this, Navelette remained silent for a moment. Finally, she slowly reached out and grasped Qiuhe's hand. "Qiuhe, you've come to see us this time..."

"Did you come here specifically to tell us this good news?" Hearing Funina's question, Qiuhe nodded and then casually mentioned that he would be leaving Fontaine for a few days.

"Huh? Leaving Fontainebleau?" "Yeah, but I won't be gone for too long. Probably a week, or four or five days, and I'll be back." "Little Qiuhe..."

You always say you have no choice in the situation, but with your abilities, leaving the Hearth House shouldn't be difficult for you, so why don't you leave?

Instead, they choose to find an excuse to leave temporarily for a few days, and then return eventually. Qiuhe and Funina were talking when Qiuhe asked about Vilette's matter, voicing his doubts.

Qiuhe listened with a nonchalant expression, "Oh? So Mr. Villette is concerned about me? I really didn't expect that."

Violet listened, but just stared at Qiuhe with a straight face. "Tsk. Sigh~. Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. Honestly, you're always such a spoilsport."

It's not that I don't want to leave; after all, for someone who knows the whole truth, who would want to stay in such an uncomfortable place?

As Qiuhe spoke, she gently closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. "Mr. Villette, do you know why I said before that I wanted you to owe me a favor?"

You are the highest judge in this country. I've been thinking, if it were you, could you be my last resort, in case all my plans fall apart?

"Help me rescue my friends. At least. Rescue Clay." Seeing Qiuhe's expression turn somewhat saddened as she spoke, Nawilette paused for a few seconds before asking, "Who is Clay?"

Upon hearing this, Qiuhe replied with a somber expression, "She is one of the girls I want to protect. She is also the fourth seat of the Fatui Enforcers, and the biological daughter of Kujavina."
