Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 21 The real starting point of the story

The woman's voice could be heard throughout the opera house. Chang Ming frowned when he heard it, and the thunder-attributed divine eye on his waist instantly burst out with a purple lightning.

In just a blink of an eye, Chang Ming jumped down from the VIP seat and began to check the situation on the stage.

Although he had known the result a long time ago, when this scene actually appeared in front of him... he still felt a little nauseous.

Listening to the increasingly loud noise, a rare trace of solemnity flashed across Chang Ming's bookish face.

He turned around abruptly, struck the ground hard with his cane, and said loudly:

"The performance is over! Medical staff are coming on stage now! The security team will protect the scene, control all performers, and seal off the entrances and exits of the opera house! Quick!"

With Chang Ming's order, the audience in the opera house realized what was going on. At this moment, Villette suddenly stood up and knocked the ground hard with the cane in his hand.

"quiet--"

He displayed the aura of the supreme judge of Fontaine, while Villette was in his home turf, the opera house.

Here is the judgment area belonging to Villette.

Following Villette's order, the originally chaotic crowd gradually quieted down. The only sounds in the opera house were the footsteps of the guards and the disordered breathing of the crowd.

"That's right! If it was an accident, we must find out the cause! If it wasn't an accident, then you can't escape the judgment of the God of Justice!"

As the three giants of Fontaine expressed their own attitudes, the crowd in the opera house, which was originally a little panicked, gradually calmed down, but... they were still more or less uneasy.

Chang Ming stared solemnly at the mask floating back and forth in the water flowing out of the tank, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Villette began to comfort Ying and Paimon, and whispered to them:

"Don't panic, we will soon be able to find out what happened."

......

After about an hour, the security team's investigation finally produced results.

Navilette and Chang Ming listened to the report from the captain of the security team, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time.

"The person inside the magic box has unfortunately died. The deceased is named Cowell, one of the assistant performers in Linney's magic troupe."

Navilette said in a deep voice while looking at Linnie in front of him.

Chang Ming let out a long sigh and whispered, "The fireworks on the stage ignited the rope, and just as the magic was ending... the rope broke."

"As for the girl who walked into the magic box, she is nowhere to be found. It's as if she has evaporated from the face of the earth."

"When all these things are added together, it's not just a stage accident, but a genuine murder case."

"Of course, regarding the girl who walked into the magic box... Mr. Navelette and I agree."

"——This incident has many characteristics of the "serial disappearance of girls" case."

When the audience heard this special term coming from the mouth of the regent Chang Ming, they began to talk about it.

"What Lord Chang Ming said...can't be false? The serial disappearance of young girls...that can't be...!"

"No way, why, why? Didn't Kares already--"

"Water God...bless me...please don't let me be chosen as a target..."

Listening to the discussions in the audience, Chang Ming closed his eyes slightly, as if he was praying, or as if he was mourning for his old friend.

"Hehehe..."

In the noisy hall, the sweet laughter that belonged only to that young girl caught everyone's attention.

They all raised their heads and looked at the girl sitting high up in the only VIP seat, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Finina slowly stood up from her luxurious seat and said loudly:

"I know, I know~ You're using this kind of puzzle that can be figured out at a glance as the finale... Are you underestimating us?"

After that, Finina turned her gaze to the young man standing below the stage and continued:

"Isn't this skilled and omnipotent magician Mr. Linney the culprit behind the "serial disappearance of girls" case?"

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chang Ming's eyes.

He has a God's perspective, so he naturally knows who the real culprit is, but Funina and the others don't know that!

Analyzing from all the existing information, Funina's judgment seems to be a little quick...the rest of the logic is impeccable if you think about it carefully.

First, you choose your target, and use magic as an excuse to choose your target, so that everything will be explained as a "performance accident."

The water tank fell because the fireworks burned and the rope was burned off, and it happened to fall at that time.

The arrow fired from these two points was aimed directly at Lini, and he had no way to refute it.

——Because the choice of fireworks, water tanks, ropes and targets is up to him!

But there is a loophole here that cannot be explained.

That is, the criminals in the previous "serial disappearance of girls" were extremely cautious and did not leave any clues, but why...

Why did Linnie, who was accused of being a "murderer", choose to perform in such an obvious place this time?

Isn't this equivalent to handing your own handle into someone else's hands?

Of course, this is the only one that cannot be explained at present. Under the current circumstances...even if Villette and Chang Ming jointly come out to deny this fact, it will be of no use.

——What's more, Villette won't come out to deny it.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming couldn't help but worry for Lin Ni.

"Even if you are from the Hearth House... you can't do this..."

Chang Ming muttered so in his heart.

"Why me?! This was a complete accident!"

Linnie's loud defense pulled Chang Ming out of the vortex of thinking, but at this moment...he could do nothing but stand by and watch and remain neutral.

"The whole incident happened during a magic show. The girl was chosen and then disappeared. The dead person was your assistant actor..."

"Now that I think about it, your opening words 'from existence to nothing, from nothing to existence' seem like a provocation, a provocation to the God of Justice..."

......

At this moment, in the present world.

Ye Zhi looked at the screen in front of him and nodded his head up and down.

"See, I told you, this magic trick can't be that simple~ and... this is the real main plot of Fontaine!"

"What have we done? Witnessed the fake death of Emperor Yan, helped Haizhi Island resist the Eye Hunting Order, ended the dream of infinite reincarnation, and now... it's time to solve another cold case!"

"I declare! The detective story called Beautiful Girl has just begun!"
