“As far as I know,”
“This is a case that has been ongoing for many years.”
“From the first time a young girl was killed, there has been a girl killed every few months.”
“These girls have disappeared like they evaporated from the world, leaving no trace, not even their bodies.”
【Amber】：Eh—?!
【Amber】：A string of missing girls cases?
【Amber】：Even Fontaine, the nation of justice, has cases like this?
【Kaeya】：Well, it is rather strange.
【Kaeya】：A nation that uses trials as a performance.
【Kaeya】：There’s no reason they would ignore a case that has such high performance value.
【Keqing】：I don't think they're not taking it seriously, but rather, they haven't found a breakthrough in the case.
【Alhaitham】：Indeed, but there is another issue that I personally believe is more worthy of our attention.
【Dehya】：You mean?
【Alhaitham】：Mr. Su Mu's intelligence network.
【Alhaitham】：You should have noticed, he knows everything.
【Alhaitham】：Both "The Servant" and Mr. Navilette met him for the first time.
【Alhaitham】：But Mr. Su Mu acted as if he already knew them.
【Alhaitham】：And Fontaine's prophetic crisis, as well as the serial disappearance of girls mentioned earlier.
【Alhaitham】：These things are no secret, but how many people in the group know? Only locals from Fontaine, I’m afraid?
【Dehya】：That’s true, now that you mention it.
【Dehya】：Mr. Su Mu probably has his own intelligence network.
【Dehya】：Like we mercenaries, we exchange information among ourselves to obtain more information.
【Tighnari】：You guys are really observant.
【Tighnari】：Setting up an intelligence network is no easy feat.
【Tighnari】：Even the Forest Rangers, who have been around for many years, haven't been able to perfect their intelligence network.
【Tighnari】：This leads to us not knowing the situation of the jungle in advance, and we can only rush to deal with it after the disaster breaks out.
“I didn't expect Mr. Su Mu to know even these details.”
Navilette sighed softly, his gaze towards Su Mu filled with a hint of surprise.
“As Mr. Su Mu said, because the victims were all girls, of similar age, they are known as the serial disappearance of girls.”
“The first girl to be killed dates back twenty years, and then every few months, a girl goes missing, like they evaporated from the world, erasing all traces.”
“I have tried many suspects.”
“Unfortunately, I never found any conclusive evidence.”
“In the end, it became a cold case, and the mastermind behind it has yet to be found.”
“If Mr. Su Mu wants to investigate this matter, Fontaine will do its utmost to provide Mr. Su Mu with the greatest help.”
“Are the case files from the past trials still there?”
“They are all stored in the Palace of Fontaine, Mr. Su Mu can access them at any time.”
“However, you have come a long way, and you must be tired from the journey, why not rest at the hotel first?”
“There's a saying in Liyue, ‘Don’t let sharpening your knife delay chopping wood,’ rest well first, and it’s not too late to investigate the case.”
Faced with Navilette's kindness, Su Mu did not refuse.
Seeing Su Mu nod in agreement, Navilette continued:
“We have already prepared a room for you at the Debo Grand Hotel.”
“Additionally, there will be a Melusine to serve as your tour guide.”
“If you need anything, you can let her know, and she will do her best to meet your needs.”
With that, a lovely, sweet, and cute Melusine stepped forward and greeted them politely.
“Mr. Su Mu, please feel free to ask if you have any questions.”
Su Mu wanted to decline, but after a moment of thought, he didn't say anything.
【Nahida】：This treatment is too good...
【Nahida】：I wish I had a Melusine to keep me company!
【Charlotte】：Miss Nahida, I think you just want to raise a Melusine.
【Amber】：Speaking of, what is a Melusine?
【Shigeru】：Ah, I forgot to introduce everyone, let me explain.
【Shigeru】：Melusine is a special kind of creature, treated as a familiar by Mr. Navilette.
【Shigeru】：Hundreds of years ago, we were brought to Fontaine by Mr. Navilette, and we have lived with the people of Fontaine, and this has continued until now.
【Shigeru】：Of course, not all Fontaine people accept the Melusine.
【Shigeru】：But after a series of events, the Melusine have become integrated into Fontaine.
【Tighnari】：I see.
【Tighnari】：So Miss Shigeru is also a Melusine.
【Tighnari】：Although you described it lightly, the process wasn't so easy, was it?
【Ganyu】：Humans have a natural aversion to non-human creatures, even cute Melusine, it must have been a long process.
【Xiangling】：Ai...Ganyu...
【Ganyu】：Master, I'm fine.
【Xiangling】：No need to say more, this old immortal knows.
【Alhaitham】：Melusine is Mr. Navilette’s familiar?
【Alhaitham】：As far as I know, only the gods of various nations have familiars, right?
【Alhaitham】：It seems that Mr. Navilette is not ordinary, at least he’s more than just the Chief Justice.
【Charlotte】：Mr. Alhaitham is so perceptive...
【Paimon】：This Su Mu’s treatment is a bit too good, isn't it?
【Paimon】：Staying at the most luxurious hotel is one thing, but there’s a cute Melusine serving him!
【Yelan】：Hehe...Paimon, if I were you, I’d rather live in the wild than enjoy such treatment.
【Paimon】：Ah? Why?
【Yelan】：Do you think this is just a benefit?
【Yelan】：Think carefully, why did Mr. Navilette do this?
【Yelan】：Fontaine is not without human officials, why does he have to have a Melusine act as Su Mu’s tour guide?
【Paimon】：You mean…
【Yelan】：Because… this is not just a benefit.
【Yelan】：Mr. Navilette did this to monitor Mr. Su Mu.
【Paimon】：Whoa… you guys who live in high positions are so calculating! I didn’t realize it at all!
【Yelan】：Hehe...Mr. Su Mu probably already realized it, but he didn't refuse to appease Mr. Navilette.
【Hu Tao】：This is a game of wits between the masters!
【Xingqiu】：It still takes professionals to analyze and see the secret behind it.
【Kaeya】：Hehe... Watching movies with commentary, this experience is quite novel, it's getting more and more interesting.
