Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 257: Three Giants? Four Giants! (Part 3)

While Chang Ming and Funina were planning what to do next...the other two lines were also operating at the same time.

Claude and other members of the troupe have successfully sent Dilfi back to their current residence, and the subsequent care will be undertaken by the woman in yellow.

Ying and Paimon focused their investigation on the area beneath the stage, hoping to find a breakthrough there.

after all...

This is where the problem occurred and it is also the closest place to the crime scene.

Of course, Ying and Paimeng’s ideas coincide with Chang Ming’s ideas to some extent.

Since it has been determined that this was done by the Noklan family who was previously punished by Chang Ming, then the matter is easy to handle.

After all, there has been no movement from the Northland Bank recently, and its behavior does not make sense logically, so it is impossible that it was done by the professional spies or intelligence personnel of the Fatui.

However, Fontaine is not like Xumi, which has a mercenary system similar to the Gilded Brigade. Even the underground black market is under the control of Momang Palace.

In situations where the Fatui are restrained by some unknown reason, this kind of thing is mostly done by those who are not very experienced.

So...Ying and Paimon concluded that the person who did this must have left some clues.

But many things will not develop in the direction people expect, and may even develop in the opposite direction.

......

Paimon glanced at the evenly dusty bottom of the stage, and a hint of doubt flashed in his black eyes.

"If there was only one problem with the board, then why were there no footprints in the dust under the stage?"

As Paimon spoke, he flew to the spot where Ying had jumped down from the stage before, pointed at the obvious shoe prints and said:

"Look, even if you jump down from above, you will leave obvious traces, so why are there no footprints around here?"

"The troupe members just mentioned something about the stage. In their memories, the surface of the stage is exactly the same as before. There is no difference at all."

"Whether they need to thin the floor underneath or directly replace this stage floor, they must do it underneath! Why are there no footprints here?"

After saying this, Ying and Paimon both fell into deep thought.

As time passed, after the two of them fell into complete silence for three minutes, Paimon shouted angrily:

"I can't think of anything at all!!! The more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes. This kind of thing is simply impossible!"

Hearing Paimon's words that contained four parts of resentment and six parts of confusion, Ying sighed helplessly.

"All clues are cut off here... Although we have a way to confirm that this incident was man-made, we have no way of saying who did it."

"If we can't catch the murderer, our current investigation results are meaningless."

After saying this, Ying sighed once more, as if she was a little...helpless about the current situation.

She didn't have the ability to go back in time, and there was no such thing as ley lines here that could record what happened in the past.

——Even if there are, it is not certain whether the images from the earth veins can be considered as valid evidence.

"But at least we can't stop here."

After a brief moment of discouragement, Ying shook her head gently, and then continued to walk towards the darker places under the stage.

Although I don’t know if I can find some more effective evidence, I have to at least give it a try.

How do you know that there will be no results if you don’t try?

......

After investigating for about ten minutes, Ying jumped out of the hole in the stage covered in dust.

Looking at Ying who was sitting on the stage without caring about her image, Paimon asked with some concern:

"Ying...Have you found the key to the problem? Or...Have you found any other clues?"

Hearing this, Ying shook her head slightly, then coughed a few times before saying:

"There wasn't even a trace of dust on the ground, as if no one had ever been there."

"The floor was definitely replaced, but it was definitely not as simple as we thought."

"There must be other possibilities."

Hearing this, Paimeng nodded his head in frustration, then slowly floated to Ying's side, sighed softly and said:

"Ying... Do you think we can still find the evidence?"

"If we can't find the evidence...can we still get the reward Chang Ming gave us?"

Ying rarely made any response to any of the questions raised by Paimon.

It can be said that even she herself didn't know whether they could accomplish all this and whether they could completely turn these things around.

So...under this unknown premise and the fact that she had already exhausted all her energy, she was no longer able to give any effective answer.

Just when Paimon was about to say something... a teasing voice came into their ears.

"Although I don't know whether you can find the corresponding evidence, I know one thing for sure: your reward... will not be reduced by any amount from Mo Mang Palace."

Hearing the voice, Ying and Paimeng looked in the direction of the sound. They were a little excited when they saw Chang Ming and Funina looking at them with a smile on their faces.

"Chang Ming? Is what you just said true? Even if we don't find the corresponding evidence, can we still get the promised reward?"

Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then said very naturally:

"According to Article 621 of the Labor Law, which was recently revised half a year ago, every bit of labor contributed by any citizen of the Seven Nations with legal status working in Fontaine should be implemented in the form of Mora."

"The amount of compensation should be comprehensively assessed based on the difficulty, intensity, working hours and degree of completion of the work. If there is a dispute... workers can apply for arbitration to the Zhuying Court, which will have specialists to handle labor disputes."

Hearing this long list of laws, Paimon blinked slightly, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but still said confidently:

"Although it's a bit long and a little confusing, the general idea is that we can get the agreed-upon compensation, right?"

Paimeng's words made Chang Ming's mouth twitch, and he said helplessly:

"Of course. After all, I was the one who drafted and formulated the Labor Law. I can't go beyond this rule, right?"

"Besides... I actually didn't expect you to be able to lock on to the corresponding target in one go and directly provide evidence that would allow the Shadow Chasing Court to arrest him."

I went to the court today. Chapter 3 is still on the way, so I'll be a little late~
