"What is this? You'd better tell me the truth, or I can't guarantee what will happen next."
"This is a potion used by the Fatui to strengthen the bodies of their soldiers. It can also increase elemental affinity!" Schubert spoke immediately after Kaia finished speaking.
Since the Fatui are unkind, don't blame them for being unjust. If this information is leaked out, I'm afraid the Fatui themselves will feel bad.
"Really?" Kaiya's face turned serious. If that was true, then the gains this time would be huge.
"Of course... it's fake!" said the leader of the Fatui jokingly.
He took a step forward, spread his hands, picked up a bottle of medicine and drank it all. Then he smiled and said:
"We are just a group of treasure hunters. How could we possibly have the things of the Fatui? These are just ordinary spring water, with some pigment added at most."
"You see, our uniforms are also imitations."
As he spoke, the leader of the Fatui tugged at his uniform. Only then did Kaia realize that there was neither a badge nor a military card on it.
The Fatui were so famous in Teyvat that almost no one dared to pretend to be them. This also made Kaeya not even consider that aspect.
But they are clearly the Fatui! Why are they so eager to distance themselves from the Fatui? There must be something fishy going on!
Kaia stroked his chin and began to think. He looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the Fatui who were still raising their hands, but he had no idea in his mind.
"You, you actually deceived me!" Schubert spoke incoherently for no apparent number of times. No wonder those medicines had no effect after taking them for several days, it turned out they were all fake!
When he thought of the Mora he had squandered, his eyes suddenly darkened and he fell straight down.
"Bang!" The sound of falling to the ground brought Kaia back to his senses. He bent down to take a look, then said to Eula, "It's okay. It's just anger. It will be fine after a while."
Then he looked at the leader of the Fatui and asked, "Where does this spring water come from?"
"There's a guy named Hopkins in Qingquan Town. He always uses spring water to cheat people. You can go and check it out." The leader of the Fatui answered Kaia's question very straightforwardly.
Anyway, now all the Moras have been transferred to the account of the Fools, and the evidence has been cleared up.
So now the most they were charged with was defrauding Schubert, and the amount was shared equally by more than a dozen people. At most, they would just join the Knights Templar for a while.
Besides, they actively cooperated with the Knights' investigation and did not resist, so they should be given a lenient sentence.
As for the other transactions, I'm sorry, those were done by other treasure-hunting groups and have nothing to do with them.
Looking at the smiling face of the leader of the Fatui, Kaia became more convinced that there was a conspiracy, but there was too little evidence now and he could not find any clues.
"Come with us and don't play any tricks." Kaeya took a look and decided to go back to Mond first.
"Of course." Having said that, the Fatui stood up consciously and walked towards the exit.
"Tsk, there is a conspiracy." Kaiya shook his head and already started thinking about how to pry open their mouths.
"Is that so?" Yu Jin, who was standing by, scratched his head. He felt that this seemed to be just a simple scam.
"Absolutely!" said Kaia, Mond's intelligence chief.
Chapter 137 Conspiracy? No way!

In front of the Knights' Building, Yu Jin was waiting for Kaeya and Eula to go in and look up some information.
"Squeak!" Soon, the main door of the Knights' Building opened. Kaeya and Eula walked out with solemn faces.
"What?" Yu Jin took a step forward. Seeing how serious they both looked, could there really be a conspiracy?
"Nothing." Kaiya shook his head and added, "I just contacted my informant and he didn't find anything either."
At this point, Kaiya's expression darkened. The fact that the traces were swept so cleanly was itself an anomaly.
"I'll go to the family and see if there are any clues." Eula nodded to Kaia. Since this matter involved the Fatui, they couldn't be careless.
"Okay, I'll go to the ruins again to see if there is anything I've missed." Kaia thought about it for a while and felt that the ruins were a breakthrough.
There were three of them escorting a dozen people, plus the dead body of Schubert, and they had no time to conduct a more in-depth examination of the ruins.
I guess the breakthrough is right there! The more Kaiya thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and his single eye outside began to brighten.
Looking at Kaeya and Eula chatting animatedly, Yu Jin whispered:
"I wonder if there is a possibility that they are really just here to defraud money?"
"Impossible!"×2.
Eula and Kaeya turned their heads to look at Ember at the same time and said in a decisive tone.
"Yu Jin, you have little contact with the Fatui and don't understand them. They have deeper intentions behind everything they do." Kaia shook his head. The actions of the Fatui are always linked to each other.
This time, their "money-scam" action must be part of the Fatui conspiracy.
"Besides, the Fatui can't be short of money." Eula also added. As the guerrilla leader, she had dealt with the Fatui outside the city.
She felt envious when she saw the supplies of those guys. There was no way such an organization would commit fraud for Mora.
[In fact, I have had a lot of contact with the Fatui.] Yu Jin refuted in his mind, saying that the contact was a bit embellished, and that he should do something to cause trouble.
However, seeing how seriously Kaeya and Eula spoke, Yu Jin felt a little guilty. As a member of the Mondstadt Adventurer's Association, he felt that he should also contribute.
"Okay, I'll go ask the lady right away!" Yu Jin patted his chest and said confidently.
“???” Kaia and Eula were puzzled.
"Are you familiar with the lady?" Kaeya looked at Ember in surprise. He had never heard that he was close to the Fatui.
"Not familiar." Yu Jin shook his head. Then he swung his fist and explained: "But I am strong? If she doesn't tell me, I will let her know what a fist as big as a sandbag is!"
This statement caused Kaeya and Eula to fall silent for a while. After a long while, Kaeya said with emotion: "Yes, I almost forgot your strength. With your strength, I'm afraid no conspiracy will work."
After saying that, Kaia looked at the ember gesturing in front of Eula with a complicated expression. If he had this kind of power, the burden on him would not be so heavy.
"Madam, you are the executor of the Fatui. Can you defeat her?" Eula looked at Yu Jin with some doubt. She only knew Yu Jin's strength from rumors.
And there were rumors that he had entered the Dark Sea and returned safely. To be honest, the rumors about how dangerous the Dark Sea was were just hearsay, and were far less oppressive than the sense of oppression brought by the Execution Officer.
The executive officers could still see it sometimes, but the sea beyond darkness was a place they had never been to.
So it's no wonder that Eula had doubts since she had no specific idea of the danger there.
"Haha, come to think of it, this is the first time you've met officially. Ember is very strong, even stronger than you imagined!" Kaeya reacted at this time and walked up to Eula and said.
Kaeya had seen Ember's strength before, so defeating Dr. Mond by slicing him was nothing.
Then the large area of frozen land in the Whispering Woods that has not yet melted is enough to illustrate his strength.
"Really?" Eula glanced at the ember and smiled, "It seems I have made a great enemy!"
"Want to make me lose when I take revenge? I'll remember this grudge!" Eula pointed at the embers, seeming very excited.
After hearing what Eula said, Yu Jin didn't react. Because he had already heard Eula's words the other way around. What a troublesome guy.
"Okay, it's getting dark. It's a good time to sneak into the enemy camp!" Yu Jin looked at the dark sky. It was about to get dark, which was just convenient for him to act.
After saying that, Yu Jin left the Knights building in a hurry.
"Should we continue investigating?" Eula glanced at the embers left in the background and asked.
"What do you think?" Kaia shook his head, then waved at Eula and said, "Today is a good day without having to work overtime. You haven't been to the city for a long time. Try to have a drink and relax yourself."
After saying that, Kaiya yawned and left. When he had no work, he always looked so lazy.
"Want a drink?" Eula muttered, but soon shook her head. Compared to this, seeing Amber is more important!
Amber, here I come!
Thinking this in her mind, Eula naturally ran in the same posture as Ember.
……
That night, the lady was still working at her desk.
A lot of things have happened in Winter City recently, and all kinds of news have been floating on the lady's desk like snowflakes. In order to learn about the situation behind the scenes in a timely manner, the lady has never dared to neglect these intelligence.
After closing the folder, the lady stood up and stretched, her beautiful curves showing through. She walked to the window and looked into the distance.
A few days ago, Winterfell was attacked and three executive officers were seriously injured. This was the first time such a situation had occurred since the founding of the Fatui.
But these were not what she cared about most. What did the life and death of those executive officers have to do with her? She only cared about the news about the wolf cub Rustan that her men had collected.
The wolf cub Rustan is the shadow of the Lion of Light Alendrin five hundred years ago. He is also the founder of the West Wind Swordsmanship practiced by the Knights of the Knights Templar today.
In addition to these, it also records a girl who loves to sing. It is said that the young wolf Rustan always stands in front of the square to listen to the girl's singing when he is tired.
"Ah~, cough... cough cough!" The lady hummed a few lines as if possessed by some unknown force, but she hadn't sung for a long time, so it was natural that she was out of tune.
She quickly shook her head to interrupt her own singing. What was wrong with her? Or was it more important to deal with the affairs of the Fatui?
“Pa pa pa!” A loud applause was heard, and Yu Jin’s figure appeared. “Sing? I think it’s pretty good. Why did you stop?”
The lady showed a rare hint of embarrassment, but she quickly concealed it. She quickly distanced herself from Yu Jin and said cautiously:
"What are you doing here? I haven't messed with you lately!"
"Tell me! Tell me what conspiracy you have been up to recently!" Yu Jin had no awareness of being an intruder at all, and his voice was louder than the lady's.
"What conspiracy? None! Our people have been silent recently." The lady frowned. She was worrying about how to take away the Heart of the God of Wind. How could she have the time to plot a conspiracy?
Of course, seizing the Heart of God can be considered a conspiracy to some extent.
"Then how come you guys have cheated so many Moras recently? You must be planning to do something big!" Yu Jin thought of the Moras vouchers in Schubert's suitcase. With such a large amount, he could do a lot of things.
"Cheating money? When did the Fatui need to cheat money?" The lady snorted coldly. It was impossible to cheat money. At most, it was the treasure-stealing group that cheated, and they, the Fatui, just "intercepted" it.
She would never admit it, she has to save her face!
Yu Jin looked at the lady and saw deception in her eyes, so he took out a huge stick and said to the lady: "You failed the thought test. It seems that you want to try the personality correction stick!"
The lady looked at the huge wooden stick in Yujin's hand, which was more than a meter tall, and her scalp suddenly felt tingling. This reminded her of bad memories - the memory of being pinned down and beaten by Yujin in the woods.
She took a deep breath, forced a stiff smile at Yu Jin and said, "There's nothing I can do. I have to eat."

"So your men learned to surrender so quickly from you." Yu Jin saw the lady's lips pull up a stiff smile and put away his huge stick.
Since they are so cooperative, don't be violent. Yu Jin has always considered himself a civilized person.
