Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners
Chapter 5 Curse (page 12)
In Fontaine, there is an ancient prophecy or curse.
One day, the sea water in Fontaine will rise, and eventually everyone will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god himself crying on the throne. Only then... will the sins of the Fontaine people be washed away.
In a clean and tidy room, Link stood in front of a blackboard that was as tall as one person. On the blackboard was a photo pressed with a magnet. Each photo corresponded to a case.
The case of the missing serial girl, the unjust murder of the former president of the Rose of Thorns Society, the magic murder case of the Oupike Theater...
Link closed his eyes and turned his attention to the reasoning of the event by blocking out his vision.
Every case contains a clue, and when these clues come together, they vaguely point to a direction.
"Original Fetal Sea"
There must be some secret hidden in this place.
………………
"My lord, it's meal time."
A clear female voice came from outside the house. Link sorted out the information on his desk and went to the high-end canteen of the embassy under the guidance of the maid.
Compared with previous days, there were more people in the cafeteria today, as if something had happened.
After choosing a quieter private room to sit down, Link washed his hands in the sink, then rinsed his mouth carefully, preparing to enjoy the chef's specially prepared steak.
In order to ensure excellent physical condition, Link's daily meals actually follow recipes carefully prepared by a nutritionist, but regular eating for a long time is too boring and monotonous.
Link will choose one meal out of the twenty-one meals a week to indulge in his favorite food. This can be regarded as a small gift for his busy and boring work.
"Are you sober?"
"It's almost time, I'll get it for you." The maid bowed respectfully, turned and left for a while. About three minutes later, she pushed a small cart with a small cart on it. A decanter filled with a quarter of the capacity of red wine, a red wine glass, and an unopened steak.
After placing the food and wine on Link's table, the maid bowed again and slowly withdrew.
A pleasant smile appeared on his handsome face, and Link picked up the wine glass. The wine in it was a beautiful deep ruby red, and it was Louis Lafite's Bordeaux dry red wine.
After a deep sniff in the glass, the aroma of fresh oak, blackcurrant and cream hits my nostrils. Link took a sip of red wine, let it stay in his mouth for a while, rolled it on his tongue, took a deep breath to fully experience the red wine with his senses, and finally swallowed it all.
The tannins are round and elegant, full of rich oak, black truffle, and blackberry flavors. The fruity and toasted oak flavors continue. Link nodded with satisfaction.
Red wine paired with steak, is this a beautiful thing?
Link smiled and opened the lid that locked the aroma on the steak...
The man's smile froze for an instant. He looked at the meat in front of him, holding on to the impossible possibility. He picked up a knife and fork, cut off a small piece, and put it into his mouth...
The handsome facial features seemed a little distorted at this moment. Link took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
The smile on the man's face gradually turned cold. This was the moment that Link wanted to kill the most in the past year.
"Call the chef over."
"S-Sir..." The maid was at a loss for a moment, "What's wrong with this steak?"
"What's the problem?" Link looked at the maid with a smile, "I ordered the M9 sirloin steak, will you give me a chicken breast?"
"My patience has its limit. In three minutes, call the chef over. I want to watch him eat this steak with his nose. Or do you want to try it for him?"
"Subordinate, I will go immediately!"
The maid couldn't help but shudder. The diplomat usually behaves in a gentle and polite manner, but if he is really angry, he will show such a scary side!
Link took a deep breath and picked up the wine glass. At this moment, he no longer had the interest in tasting wine, and drank it down like a dry Erguotou.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the house. The maid stood aside nervously, and behind her was a fat man with a big belly and wearing a white chef's uniform.
"Lin...Lord Link..." The chef stumbled, and dense cold sweat oozed from the fleshy folds on his face caused by obesity.
Link remained silent. In order to calm down his anger, he needed an explanation.
"There was a problem with the... warehouse where the food is stored. You... your steak disappeared... and my men... just... took chicken breasts instead! I have... already reprimanded the chef who cooked the food. !”
"If there's a problem, just tell me. Don't disgust me with things like this." Link stood up and wiped his hands with a napkin indifferently. In order to maintain the so-called "image" in front of people, he has already learned to be patient.
"What happened to the warehouse?"
"It's... there's a thief! We, we have entrusted the Shadow Chaser to investigate!" the chef said in a panic.
"Where is the warehouse? Take me there." Link's eyes were cold. After such an incident, Link was no longer interested in enjoying delicious food. He wanted to see who ruined his good mood for the day.
"Yes, yes sir!"
Led by the maid and the chef, Link came to the warehouse behind the restaurant used to store food.
The warehouse is not big, with only one floor. The outer body is made of hardwood. It is as tall as two people. There are many shelves inside. Various ingredients are placed on the shelves, such as bread, steaks, eggs...
But at this time, it was a mess. The eggs were broken on the floor, the milk was overturned, and the basin containing the steaks was also overturned. All kinds of different smells were mixed together, giving people a strange feeling.
At this moment, a group of uniformed Fontainebleau people and Meluxins have set up yellow warning tapes for isolation around the warehouse and are investigating and collecting evidence in an orderly manner.
"How is the situation now? Has the person who stole the things been found?" Link asked with a frown.
"...Not yet." The person in charge was a man in purple clothes, who looked like he was the manager in charge of the canteen. Seeing Link coming, the manager hurriedly greeted him with an apologetic expression.
"Lord Link, we are very sorry for the discomfort caused to you. After this matter is settled, I will definitely pick a good steak and cook it for you!"
Link waved his hand and refused the manager's courtesy. Because there was Meloxin working inside the warehouse, Link walked around the warehouse first and found that except for a door for loading and unloading, the warehouse only had a door for loading and unloading. Four small ventilation windows are located in the left front, left rear, right front, and right rear directions. However, these windows are not big and are separated by iron bars, making it impossible to get in or out. There are also branches piled up in the open space to the southeast of the warehouse, which should be firewood used for cooking. There was also a sign on it that read "Beware of Fireworks."
After a while, a pink-haired Meiluxin came out of the warehouse and called the manager in charge.
"Mr. Danink, we have some situations that we need to find out from you. We hope you can cooperate with our work."
