Genshin Impact: I have a talisman shop

What he said about the thief was nothing but groundless speculation.

These were just casual chats without any deep meaning, so Fu Chu skipped over them after a sentence or two.

However, after talking about the thieves, Yu Beier took the initiative to bring up the previous thunderstorm.

However, this topic suddenly attracted a lot of people to join in, and Fu Chu was squeezed out.

Fu Chu just smiled and didn't care. He just happened to have chosen a detective novel that interested him, so he took the opportunity to get away from the crowd and return to his stall.

The talisman stall had a normal afternoon business. Fu Chu entertained customers when there were none, and read books when there were no customers. Unknowingly, the day had passed.

The next day, after Fu Chu got the morning paper, the front page that caught his eye was about yesterday's thunderstorm incident and the press conference in front of Mo Mang Palace.

Fu Chu took a look and found that the newspaper did not reveal too many details.

The newspaper said that a group of monsters had gathered in the Cangjing District due to historical issues, and the water goddess Funina and a friend went to eliminate them.

It is only because there are so many monsters that we used the powerful thunder. Citizens, please do not panic and do not believe in groundless rumors.

In fact, this news was released yesterday afternoon, but due to limited dissemination channels, it could not quickly cover the entire Fontainebleau, so it was officially published again in the Steambird Newspaper the next day.

After Fu Chu finished reading the front-page headlines, he turned his attention to other content.

This newspaper is a daily newspaper published by Steambird Newspaper Company. Although it contains some gossip, it is still of good value.

For example, in the second edition, it was mentioned that the security team arrested a group of people who were trafficking in Lex and some people who were addicted to Lex and endangered social security.

The report also mentioned that those who sold Les intended to commit murder in the street and almost killed innocent citizens. After trial by the court, the group will be sentenced to life exile in Mello Petersburg.

Seeing this, Fu Chu's fingertips tapped the armrest of the chair unconsciously, "The heaviest punishment for Fontaine should be lifelong exile to Mello Petersburg. There is no death penalty... I always feel that something is wrong."

Regarding punishment, the four countries of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Xumi all have the death penalty.

Although Xumi often sentenced people to exile, it was to uninhabited rainforests or deserts.

The climate in the rainforest is hot and humid, and there are many poisonous insects and plants.

The desert is an extreme environment with high temperature and dryness, lack of water and food, and many places are filled with ferocious beasts and monsters.

For a person without any equipment to be exiled to these places is not much different from being sentenced to death.

Moreover, the last time Fu Chu was in Xumi, he experienced a case where many members of the Tanit tribe were sentenced to death.

Now he was in Fontaine, and suddenly he was told that the heaviest punishment was exile, and that exile was to a stable place where he could be guaranteed food and drink to work. It really made him feel strange.

"Mello Petersburg, it would be nice to take a look if I have a chance. As for the sentencing... I can ask Funina, but these are not necessary. Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

Fu Chu muttered to himself, then put away the newspaper he had just read and took out a detective novel.

But at this moment, a certain blonde lady came over with her two servants, Myles and Silver.

"Good morning, Mr. Fu Chu, I am the first customer of your stall today, right?" Navia had a loud voice, and her shout attracted the attention of passers-by.

Then Myles and Silver also greeted Fu Chu, and Myles also reminded Navia to pay attention to the sound.

Fu Chu didn't mind this. He put down the book in his hand and said, "Good morning, everyone. What can I do for you?"

"It's nothing, actually. I just want to ask Mr. Fu Chu about something. How about that? Is that ok?"

"Are you here to get information? That's fine, but I'm a little curious as to why Miss Navia would come to me to get information. After all, I've only been in Fontaine for a short time, and I don't have any sources of information."

"Haha, of course..." Navia was proud for a moment, then she responded with a cough and said, "Ahem, actually it's like this. I also went to the press conference in front of Momang Palace yesterday. The water goddess Funina actually said that she and a friend went to destroy the monsters and created the thunderstorm. I can't help but wonder what kind of friend could do that."

"Oh, so you came to me?" Fu Chu smiled. The young lady in front of him was indeed the type that was easily driven by curiosity.

"Yes, from what I know, the person who has been closest to our Water Goddess during this period, and who can be called a friend by her, is at least a person who can stand on equal footing with her. If we use the process of elimination to screen, only Mr. Fu Chu is left. Am I right?"

"Yes, yes, it is just as Miss Navia said. Yesterday, Ms. Funina and I went to the Cangjing District together. But then again, this information...it's not a secret. It shouldn't be enough to make you make this trip, right?"

Just as Fu Chu said, the previous conversation between the two was just a warm-up for the next topic.

Navia saw that Fu Chu had no intention of hiding anything, so she said, "Of course, I came here this time not only because I was curious about what happened yesterday, but also because I wanted to ask Mr. Fu Chu a question."

"It's okay to give a general idea of ​​what happened yesterday. After all, it involves other people. As for the question you want to ask, well... tell me, I will decide based on the situation." Fu Chu thought for a moment and did not choose to directly reject Navia's request.

Navia was not an enemy to Fu Chu. Instead, she was one of those people with whom he got along quite well. So there was naturally no reason for him to reject her directly.

When Navia heard this, the smile on her face brightened a little, but she quickly became serious.

"Before asking questions, I want to confirm one thing with Fu Chu. Have you heard about the serial disappearance of young girls that shocked Fontaine?"

"Serial disappearance of young girls? Sorry, I haven't heard of this case."

This answer did not surprise Navia, so she gave a brief explanation of the serial disappearance of young girls.

This case can be traced back to at most twenty years ago. Since the first case of a missing girl occurred, a girl has disappeared in Fontaine every once in a while.

Those missing girls seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, without even a trace left.

There has been no clue in this case for twenty years, which is very strange.

After listening to this, Fu Chu frowned and asked, "Miss Navia, are you asking me to help investigate this twenty-year-old unsolved case?"

"Well, I do have this idea. Some of the people involved in the serial disappearance of young girls are residents of Baisong Town and members of the Thorn Rose Society. I see hope in you, Mr. Fu Chu, and I hope you can lend a hand!"
