Under Su Mu's guidance.
Feningna immediately used her authority as the Hydro Archon.
However, strangely, there was no record of Vash in the archives.
It was as if this person had never appeared in Fontaine, causing Feningna's investigation to reach a stalemate.
"Su Mu, this lead is useless, isn't it?"
After receiving feedback, Feningna immediately went to find Su Mu.
At this time, Navia was also looking for Su Mu, so everyone started brainstorming in the hotel.
"Vash..."
"Never heard of that name."
"Could he be someone unrelated to this case?"
Navia learned the reason and after thinking for a moment, came to this conclusion.
However, Su Mu shook his head with a smile and said: "No, the more so, the more suspicious this person becomes."
"There's an old saying in Liyue, 'There's no silver lining here.' If he had a clear conscience, why would he go to great lengths to erase all traces?"
"Erasing the traces of one's existence is no easy feat."
"It not only requires a lot of wealth, but also requires a relationship with official figures."
"He thinks he's hiding very deep, but unbeknownst to him, these actions actually make it easier to expose himself."
Hearing this, Feningna and Navia were surprised. They thought the lead was dead, but it turned out there was more to it.
"When Miss Feningna went to the Fontaine Palace to investigate."
"I also contacted the "Servants" and retrieved information from the Adventurer's Guild."
"The information shows that Vash isn't an adventurer from Fontaine; he registered in Snezhnaya."
"This is consistent with the description of the Hydro Spirit. Vash is indeed an adventurer who came to Fontaine from Snezhnaya."
"After arriving in Fontaine, he tried to accumulate wealth and committed crimes against innocent girls, continuing for over 20 years."
After listening to Su Mu's analysis.
Navia's eyes flashed with a moment of realization.
"From Snezhnaya to Fontaine... gradually accumulating vast wealth..."
"This is very similar to Uncle Marcel's experience, but how could he do something like this?"
"Miss Navia, don't jump to conclusions." Su Mu set down the teacup in his hand and said with a hint of meaning: "Don't judge a book by its cover, and the sea is vast. Since the other party can completely discard the traces of their past, how could they not act?"
"I see, it's Marcel!"
Hearing this, Maile's expression gradually turned angry.
Seeing this, everyone was confused. Silver patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
Maile's took a deep breath, calmed his chaotic emotions, and then told everyone present the secrets he knew.
Navia was moved to tears after learning the truth.
She slowly stood up and bowed to Su Mu with gratitude.
If it weren't for Su Mu's help, she didn't know how long she would have been misled about her father.
To deduce the mastermind behind the scenes with just a few scattered clues, such terrifying wisdom was no less than his combat ability!
【Kujou Sara】: It's like this again...
【Kujou Sara】: You really make me, a detective, ashamed...
【Kujou Sara】: With just a little bit of information, you've done everything the Traveler did in a whole episode.
【Lumine】: You can talk, then talk more...
【Paimon】: We did put in a lot of effort, right?!
"Oh ho ho—!"
"I'll take care of the rest!"
"The despicable criminal shall be judged by the Hydro Archon's justice!"
Hearing this, Navia nodded gratefully. Her father would finally be exonerated.
Under Feningna's arrangements.
The Opéra de la Fontaine once again held a trial.
Marcel, the president of the Cabrigea Trading Company, was brought before the court by Feningna and Navia.
With overwhelming evidence, Marcel quickly cracked.
As the one who solved the string of missing girls, Feningna's reputation reached its peak.
She stood on the plaintiff's bench, proudly looking up, like a proud kitten, enjoying the praise of the people of Fontaine.
【Hu Tao】: Hm...
【Hu Tao】: Something feels off?
【Hu Tao】: Why is Mr. Su Mu so kind to Miss Feningna?
【Hu Tao】: The last time, he let her take all the credit, and this time, he even created such a big stage for her.
【Kaeya】: Speaking of which, it is a little strange.
【Kaeya】: Mr. Su Mu couldn't possibly not notice that something was wrong with Miss Feningna.
【Kaeya】: But he still spoils Miss Feningna like a child. What is his goal?
【Arlecchino】: I see...
【Lyney】: Father, what have you figured out?
【Arlecchino】: Think back to Feningna's treatment in this world.
【Arlecchino】: Then compare her to the Feningna in the parallel world, is there a big difference?
【Arlecchino】: When the whole world is against you, someone stands by you firmly, what would you think?
【Lyney】: I'd... consider him my only reliance?
【Arlecchino】: Not bad. What expression do you see on Feningna's face now?
Everyone then paid attention to Feningna on the screen.
She stood proudly on the plaintiff's bench with her arms crossed.
Although she was cheering towards the crowd, her gaze kept glancing at Su Mu.
The trust in her eyes was visible to anyone.
【Lyney】: Now that you mention it, it's true!
【Lyney】: Although Mr. Su Mu also doubted Miss Feningna.
【Lyney】: But in the end, he stood firmly by her side.
【Lyney】: Is he doing this intentionally, or does he truly believe in Miss Feningna? I'm a little confused!
Feningna suddenly began to envy her parallel world counterpart.
Even knowing it might be a fake relationship, she craved to be loved once.
Without asking why, without asking right or wrong, just standing by her side firmly, believing in her without wavering.
