Although it had nothing to do with Xia Worei, she had stayed here for two days and smelled it for two days, and felt that she had been assimilated. Maybe she even had this smell on her!
Not receiving a reply, Navia didn't care, assuming that Lu Lin and the special patrol team captain didn't understand the romantic musings of young girls. Her attention was mainly focused on the evidence she had brought back.
Inside, Chiori and Charlotte had also gotten dressed, closed the bedroom door, and led everyone to the living room.
"I've got the evidence. When you look at it, be prepared!" Navia solemnly took out several notebooks from the bag and handed them to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin didn't read it; he knew all the contents. He simply handed it over to Xia Worei, Qianzhi, and the others.
This was Marcel's, or rather, "Vasher," research log. The contents were shocking. After flipping through a few pages, Xia Wore's face turned extremely pale.
Experiment Sixteen aimed to verify and break through Jacob Ingord's conclusions regarding the primordial cephalic region...
[The experiment failed; no one surfaced from the primordial sea of conception. Girls number 22, 23, and 24 were dissolved.]
Each vibrant life, once captured by the experimenter's pen, becomes nothing more than a cold, impersonal number. This person is utterly insane!
"Is there any evidence to prove that Marcel is Vasher?" Xia Wore took a deep breath, her tone turning cold.
“Yes, it’s here!” Chiori handed her the notebook.
"This was originally the diary of Václav Vacher's lover, Vinier, which recorded their love story. One page was filled with various names, which were then crossed out."
It must be the young girl, Vinier, naming their future child. All the other names were crossed out and rejected, and the last name left was—Marcelle!
“Judging from Marcel’s age and the time of the first girl’s disappearance, it was Vasher who took the name of the two children originally intended for them and used it as his own pseudonym!” Navia added from the side.
She opened the bag in her hand, which was filled with various colorful trinkets: "These were all found at the [Les] manufacturing headquarters located underwater in Marcell. They should all be the missing girl's personal belongings."
【Les】is a beverage that became popular in Baisong Town a few years ago. It can excite people and produce many wonderful illusions, but the aftereffects can lead to poor concentration and unstable emotions.
My father, Carles, banned "Les" in Baisong Town in an attempt to find the person secretly manufacturing it. He turned a member of that organization, named Jacques, against them. During their meeting, Jacques was killed, and my father became the murderer.
"Here, here, is a record of Mr. Carles banning [Les] in Baisong Town and preparing to capture the person who secretly manufactured [Les]."
Marcel then devised a plan to use Jacques to kill Mr. Carles. In the end, he failed to kill him, but he successfully framed Mr. Carles for the murder! Charlotte raised the notebook in her hand.
......
......
After everyone finished reading the evidence that Navia had brought back, they found it to be quite sufficient and complete, enough to completely crush Marcellus.
After reviewing the evidence, Xia Worei immediately stood up and declared, "I'll take men and arrest him right now!"
“Let’s go together!” Navia stood up as well. Marcellus had plotted to kill her father, and she wanted to take revenge herself.
Charlotte was definitely going to follow this big news, and Chiori didn't mind accompanying her best friend to see it.
"So where's my arrest warrant?" Lu Lin asked Xia Worei.
“I will cancel the arrest warrant. Your words have been verified. Self-defense does not require trial.”
Xia Worei breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Lin had put a lot of pressure on her, and now that it had been proven that he was a good person, it was all the better that she didn't have to be his enemy.
"Let's go, let's go together!"
The process of capturing Marcell encountered a minor setback.
Having committed so many heinous acts, Marcel was naturally quite cautious. Although the elites sent by Chavore to monitor him were elite, they were eventually discovered.
Sensing something was amiss, Marcel shook off the elite special patrol team that was following him and returned to his lair, where he manufactured [Less], only to find that all the important items in the lair had been looted.
He knew, of course, that this was no ordinary burglary; someone was investigating him, and the secret here had been discovered, exposing him!
Marcel was also a very decisive person; he immediately left his lair and attempted to escape Fontaine.
Chapter 477 The Trial Ends, Navia's Feelings
Marcel's escape plan failed before it even began.
Although Xia Worei's men lost track of their target, it doesn't mean Lu Lin is helpless against him.
Back when he was saving Charlotte, Lu Lin had secretly left an elemental mark on Marcellus, and Marcellus naturally couldn't detect his methods.
Using the mark as a coordinate, Lu Lin directly led a group of girls in a spatial jump, appearing in front of Marcellus who was trying to escape.
A group of top experts suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Before Marcell could even figure out what was going on, Lu Lin knocked him unconscious and dragged him back to the special patrol team.
This was Xia Wore's fastest capture of a criminal, involving only two space jumps, and the criminal obediently lay down in the Special Patrol team.
"Captain, you're back!" The special patrol team had already received news that Lu Lin's wanted notice had been lifted, so they weren't surprised to see him here.
"Report to the Supreme Judge, Mr. Navelette, immediately that the mastermind behind the disappearance of the Fontainebleau girl has been apprehended!"
......
Two days later, at the Opera House in Opip, Fontainebleau.
The opera house was packed to capacity today, with many people waiting outside the opera house because they couldn't get tickets.
Because today, the main culprit in the serial disappearances of girls in Fontainebleau will be tried here!
The serial disappearances of teenage girls have been a long-standing problem in Fontainebleau. All the missing girls seem to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace and impossible to find.
The real culprit remains at large and continues to commit crimes from time to time, with hundreds of innocent girls already among the victims.
Just two days earlier, the Palace of Fontainebleau suddenly announced that the murderer in the case of the missing girl had been caught and would be tried publicly at the Opiclay Opera House, which naturally caused a huge uproar in Fontainebleau.
Fontaine is not only a country that pursues justice, but also a capital of art and fashion. Otherwise, Chiori would not have traveled all the way from Inazuma to Fontaine to realize her dream of becoming a fashion designer.
In the arts, the water goddess Frynn is Fontaine's most famous star. Although the Opiclay Opera House is a theater used for various performances, it was also used to try criminals.
One of them is the Cardinal of Decree, created by the water god. It possesses self-awareness and the ability to judge independently. It can collect the people's faith in "justice" through judgment and transform it into the energy "Lawful Compensation Hybrid Energy" to drive the operation of Fontaine.
Lu Lin also arrived at the Opizke Opera House, where he will be attending the trial as a witness today.
On the high platform of the Second Long Weeping Liu Zhou Ying San Ba Lu, the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, Navelette presided over the trial, with the water goddess Funina in attendance.
This was Lu Lin's first time seeing the Water God, and he couldn't help but take a few extra glances at him.
Funina was a petite and pretty girl with short, fluffy light blue hair. She wore a dark blue hat with irises printed on it, and her eyes were heterochromatic, one light and one dark, constantly darting around as if she were thinking about something.
The girl wore a navy blue suit jacket paired with a white evening gown with a fishtail-like hem, and white shorts that revealed her smooth, fair, and slender legs.
She wore white lace socks and black court shoes adorned with cute bows.
Yes, she's a refined and beautiful lady!
Unlike the low-key deities of other countries, the water god has always been high-profile. He not only frequently participates in judgments but also often performs on stage; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a household name and a big star.
The presiding judge, Navelette, was a white-haired young man in a dark blue suit who exuded an aura of authority.
"The trial of Marcel, the main culprit in the missing girl case, is now beginning. Please bring in the prisoner..." With Navelette's deep voice, Marcel was brought in, and the trial began.
No one defended Marcel; he had to defend himself.
Lu Lin's main force was Navia, who had reviewed the entire incident.
Many years ago, Marcel, whose original name was Vacher, and his lover Vinier went on an adventure in Fontaine. Vinier accidentally came into contact with the waters of the primordial womb and dissolved into them.
Witnessing his lover dissolve, Vasher begins conducting live experiments on Fontaine girls in an attempt to save Vinier, and the constantly disappearing Fontaine girls all become his test subjects.
In order to obtain funding for his experiments, he used diluted fetal water to make "Les" for profit.
【Les】has harmful side effects on the human body, which has attracted the attention of Cares, the president of the Thorn Rose Society. Just when Cares was about to find out about Marcel, he made a preemptive strike to kill Cares. Although he failed, he successfully framed Cares for murder.
He then secretly threatened Carres with his daughter Navia to prevent him from revealing the truth. In order to protect his daughter, Carres asked to die in the duel.
Later, Charlotte, investigating a smuggling case, accidentally stumbled upon Marcellus's temporary storage facility for fetal seawater, triggering the enemy's murderous intent. Lu Lin arrived to save the day...
As Navia sorted through the case, she presented each piece of evidence to corroborate it. During this time, Lu Lin testified as a witness that Marcel had attempted to kill Charlotte that day.
With the evidence irrefutable, Marcellus had little to refute and confessed to the crimes he had committed.
“Marcelle’s original name was Vasher, and he and his lover Vinier were adventurer partners…” On the high platform, Navelette began to deliver the final verdict. After listing his sins, Navelette’s tone rose several octaves.
"Then, the charges against Vasher shall now be decided by the Cardinal of Decree!"
After the cardinal decree was initiated, and following a series of procedures, the final verdict was found guilty!
"Guards, take the prisoner away!" With Funina's order, the trial came to an end.
But its impact goes beyond that. Vacher's research proved that the people of Fontainebleau would dissolve in the primordial seawater, inevitably bringing to mind an ancient prophecy of Fontainebleau—
Everyone will dissolve into the sea, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne. Only then will the sins of the people of Fontainebleau be washed away.
This prophecy has been circulating for a long time, but it has not attracted the attention of the Fontainebleau people. However, now that the primordial water of the womb that can dissolve the Fontainebleau people has truly appeared, what about this prophecy?!
Those who know about the prophecy cannot help but have some doubts: Will the prophecy come true?
Even Charlotte's eyes and brows were filled with a hint of worry, but when her gaze fell on Lu Lin, she suddenly regained her confidence.
My husband is so capable, even if the prophecy comes true, he will definitely have a way to solve it!
At this moment, Lu Lin walked up to Navia, looked at the girl with a lost expression, and asked, "Congratulations! You have finally exonerated your father and restored his innocence!"
"This is all thanks to your intelligence!" Navia said gratefully.
"But it's not enough."
"Huh? What's not enough?"
“There is no death penalty in Fontaine’s laws. Marcel has harmed so many innocent girls, yet he can spend the rest of his life in prison. This punishment is not enough.”
"You don't mean to? Hey, we can't do anything illegal!"
Chapter 478 A Deep Kiss at the Grave
"Don't worry, I have no interest in going to jail because of him." Lu Lin pouted and pulled Navia's hand toward the entrance of the Opikley Opera House.
He held hands so naturally that Navia didn't seem to notice the detail, but Chiori and Charlotte did.
Chiori shook her head; she was about to have another sister.
Lu Lin, holding Navia's hand, intercepted the guards escorting Vasher at the entrance of the Opikley Opera House.
"Gentlemen, I have a few words I'd like to say to Mr. Vasher. I wonder if you could make an exception for me?"
Lu Lin also contributed to the trial today, and it was he who caught Vashes, so the guards were lenient on that point.
“Vashe, I can tell you a secret. In fact, Vinier did not really die. After she dissolved in the seawater of the womb, she turned into a pure water spirit. You can hear her voice in the Dew Spring ahead.”
"Really?! You're not lying to me?!" Vasher's previously lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light.
"The reason I know the name [Vashe] is because I heard it in the Dew Spring. Non-Fengdan people who come into contact with the Fetal Sea will have their perception of water elements enhanced, and they will be able to hear the sounds in the Dew Spring."
"Sir, could you... could I go to Lujingquan to take a look?" Vashe turned to the guard and pleaded.
“I’m afraid that won’t work…” Before the guard could finish speaking, a woman’s voice rang out.
"Let's take him to see it. We'll be passing by Lujingquan anyway, it's on the way."
Lu Lin and Navia turned their heads, and Xia Worei walked over from a distance, accompanied by a cold-faced, stunningly beautiful black-haired woman.
The black-haired beauty wore a blue side-brimmed hat, and her long, black-and-blue hair was tied into a low ponytail with a black bow.
She was tall and shapely, especially her chest, which was very impressive. Based on Lu Lin's experience, it was a sure thing that she was E-grade!
With such a devilish figure, paired with a white shirt and a dark blue cape, and a black short skirt below the waist, her long, voluptuous legs are covered with black pantyhose. She is simply a bewitching enchantress!
However, this fairy has a cold and powerful aura, and doesn't look like someone to be trifled with!
Lu Lin also recognized her; she was Clarinde, Fontaine's strongest dueling agent!
Clorind was the duel proxy who fought Navia's father, Kares, and Kares, who was determined to die to protect his daughter, died at her hands.
At that time, Clarinde discovered that Kares was deliberately seeking death, and therefore felt guilty towards Navia, secretly protecting her several times.
Navia knew that her father's death should not be blamed on Clorind; she was merely fulfilling her duty as a dueling agent. However, she harbored resentment towards her and therefore generally avoided having much contact with her.
Now that the real culprit has been found and the truth has come to light, and her father's innocence has been cleared and his reputation restored, Navia's heart is finally at peace, and she doesn't deliberately avoid Clarinde.
With the special patrol team leader speaking, the guards didn't object anymore and led Vasher to Lu Jingquan.
Lu Jingquan was not far from the Opikley Opera House. When Vacher stood in front of Lu Jingquan, his eyes initially held a glimmer of hope, but then turned to horror and disbelief!
"Ah!!!" Then Vasher let out a scream and fell silent.
"Washe?!" The guards nearby quickly checked on him, only to find that he had completely lost his soul and was silent.
The scene was chaotic. The security guards cast wary glances at Lu Lin. After all, Vashe had come to Lu Jingquan on his advice, and now that someone had died, it was hard not to be suspicious.
Xia Worei, Navia, and the others also looked at Lu Lin, especially Navia, who had heard what Lu Lin had said earlier and knew that this matter was inextricably linked to him, her eyes filled with worry.
