Liyue sent a letter to Fontaine regarding the falsification of homework, hoping to get the cooperation of Fontaine officials.

The Fontaine officials also attached great importance to this. Not only was the trial of the case handed over to the Fontaine [Supreme Judge] Mr. Navilette to decide in person, but even the goddess Funina would come out to listen.

Chao Ke smiled and shook his head. It was really unfortunate that this woman named Mao came at the critical moment when Qixing was undergoing a major rectification.

After reading it, Chao Ke threw the newspaper out and let the speeding patrol ship carry it into the air.

"Huh? No way!"

"Sir, it is forbidden to discard debris on the patrol ship!"

On the patrol boat, Miss Meilushin, who was in charge of the tour guide work, noticed Chao Ke's behavior at the first moment, and quickly spoke out to stop him. She then ran all the way to the end of the ship with her short legs, jumping on the deck and trying to pick up the newspaper that Chao Ke had thrown down.

However, the newspaper thrown by Chao Ke had already floated into the air and could not be easily caught.

Watching the newspaper flying farther and farther away, the Meilushin tour guide could only sigh helplessly, looking a little lost.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of finger snapping came from behind Miss Meilushin.

Then, a gentle voice sounded in her ears again.

"Look up and take another look at its trajectory."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the deep night sky of Fontaine.

The newspaper that was floating in the sky suddenly caught fire.

It was like a fire element crystal butterfly flapping its wings, burning itself and scattering red starlight, which was extremely beautiful.

"So...so beautiful..."

Standing on the edge of the deck of the patrol ship, Miss Meilushin, who was wearing a tour guide uniform, sighed subconsciously.

“Is the magic trick good?”

"Well, it's very nice, Mr. Magician."

"If the guests are satisfied, should they pay the [ticket fee]?"

"Hmm?! No...don't..."

......

after a while.

The track patrol boat that departed from Mojie Station docked steadily at the [Ting District Waterway Hub] in Fontaine.

However, Miss Meilushin, who was on the boat, felt her legs become weak and she could no longer stand as steadily as before on the deck of the patrol ship.

Chao Ke, who had a great time along the way, left a full-score review and a few small surprises, then took the elevator here with Donatello and returned to Fontaine in the true sense.

"Huh——, Huh——"

Taking advantage of the deserted night, Donatello took a deep breath of the "free" air around him.

Chao Ke silently walked to the side, leaving Donatello some space to be alone.

A just police officer was sent to an "unjust" prison by a just judge in accordance with just laws for the sake of justice.

The addition of positive numbers results in a negative number, which is really sad.

After a few heavy breaths, Donatello, who was standing in the corner, turned around and looked at Chao Ke with an apologetic look.

"Sorry for the delay."

"When I saw the direction of my old home, I couldn't control my emotions."

Chao Ke was stunned for a moment, then followed Donatello's gaze.

Is that the house where Donatello lived before he went to prison?

It’s in the heart of Fontaine, no wonder Chavore and her mother moved out so early.

The housing system in Fontaine is different from that in Liyue. To buy a house in Fontaine, one must not only pay the mortgage or mortgage, but also pay an additional property tax every year.

The basis for calculating this property tax is the value of the house. Usually, 10%-25% of the house rent is levied depending on the geographical location. For a house in a core location like Fontaine, the property tax required is basically two months' rent.

The rent in Fontaine is already expensive. If you add some property fees or mortgage loans, the resulting pressure is simply not something a full-time mother like Xiawolei's mother can bear.

The people of Fontaine don't have a strong sense of saving, so moving out early and leaving more savings for the mother and daughter is a good choice.

However, if it were Liyue, this situation would probably not occur.

Although the houses in Liyue are more expensive, there is no property tax. Therefore, even in the most prosperous area of ​​Liyue Port, there are still indigenous people with average incomes living there. If the [Seven Stars] adjusts the urban planning and needs to be demolished, they can make a fortune.

Chao Ke did not judge which one was better, he just asked Donatello.

"Do you regret having come to this point?"

"Kind of."

Donatello confessed.

"But what I regret is not saving more money for them, not the choice I made in the first place."

“…”

Looking at Donatello's figure, Chao Ke was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he uttered two words slowly.

"interesting."

"Do you want me to take you to your new home in Gray River District?"

"No trouble."

Donatello waved his hand and rejected Chao Ke's proposal.

"Because of work, I am quite familiar with the [Gray River District]."

"According to the detailed address mentioned in the letters from my wife and daughter, it is not difficult to find it."

Chao Ke recalled the time when he and Donatello went to visit a single mother in the Gray River District. Just as the senior police officer said, he knew the area very well.

"Then we'll say goodbye. I'll pick you up in a month."

"Well, I'm sorry."

There wasn't much to say between two grown men; even when they were good friends, their parting was very crisp and clear.

After saying goodbye, they parted ways and headed home.

.....

Fontaine-Lionnais district.

The deep night filled the streets, and perhaps the only one who remained alert on this winter night was Miss Catherine.

Chao Ke put his index finger on his lips, signaling Catherine to keep quiet and not cause trouble for his "night attack".

Catherine understood and remained silent, just watching Chao Ke enter her house like a thief.

After entering the house, it was pitch black.

In order to control the sound of his footsteps, Chao Ke's feet did not even touch the ground. Instead, he stepped on two ice blocks condensed by elemental force, letting the ice blocks support him forward.

Chao Ke made almost no sound while sneaking in.

The ice under your feet was also generated by elemental authority, with almost no leakage of elemental power to produce elemental fluctuations.

In this way, Chao Ke successfully arrived at his sister's door and faced the last hurdle of "night attack" on his sister.

Chao Ke shook off the ice on his feet, stood firmly on the ground, and mobilized his extremely strong body with all his heart and soul, using the most delicate operating movements to make the door lock make the faintest sound.

"Click-da-"

Following the sound of a door opening that was so faint that it seemed like an illusion, Chao Ke successfully arrived at his sister's boudoir.

What follows is the most exciting part of the "night attack" activity.

Whether you can eat meat depends on this moment.

As soon as the door opened, he rushed over to Chao Ke's figure.

"Ok?"

"Why does it smell so good?"
