Chapter 542: Charlotte came after smelling the scent
But after just a few seconds, I realized that I had inadvertently made the atmosphere heavy.
Navia quickly smiled and said cheerfully, "Haha, look at me, why do I always say things that spoil the fun!"
"I almost forgot, what are you here to talk to Eula about?"
Paimon suddenly slapped his head, came to his senses and said, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the important matter!"
Then, Paimon took a deep breath and began to briefly tell Eula the series of events that had happened before.
Navia was standing aside, listening attentively to Paimon's narration. When she heard the key points, her beautiful and lively eyes sparkled with excitement.
After Paimon finished speaking, Navia couldn't wait to ask, "I see! So you are also trying to find evidence to prove that Linnie is not the real culprit in the serial disappearance of girls, right?"
After hearing what Navia said, Paimon was slightly stunned at first, then he reached out and scratched the back of his head in confusion, thinking for a moment before answering.
"Well... that's about it. However, we are just asking Yan Fei to be his agent."
Upon hearing this, Navia waved her hand without hesitation, indicating that these details were not important.
"That doesn't make much of a difference. After all, we are all people with a heart of justice who want to break through numerous obstacles and uncover the truth!"
"So, we are like-minded fellow travelers! And I have also been closely following the progress of this serial disappearance of girls case."
At this point, Navia paused for a moment, and then suggested, "How about this? I'll go do some necessary preparations first, and then we can start an in-depth investigation together. As the saying goes, 'there is strength in numbers'!"
At this moment, Shao Yun, who had been standing quietly and watching coldly, suddenly took a step forward and refused expressionlessly: "Sorry, I'm afraid not."
Seeing that Shao Yun rejected the proposal of cooperation without hesitation, Navia was stunned and asked with confusion: "Ah? Why is that?"
Shao Yun looked serious and explained solemnly.
"The reason is simple. We are tired and don't want to get involved in the detective work of catching the murderer."
"Besides, the main purpose of our coming to Fontaine is to have a vacation and relax! How can we have the energy to get involved in other things?"
He paused, then added: "Of course, if you really want to investigate, go ahead. But don't involve us."
"If you feel that it is difficult to complete the task by yourself, wait for me to invite Yan Fei over, and then you two can work together."
After hearing Shao Yun's refusal and the reasons he gave, Navia blinked awkwardly, then gave a slightly forced smile.
"Oh, so that's how it is...Okay, I'm really sorry, I was too enthusiastic just now."
Seeing this, Shao Yun shrugged helplessly, without forgetting to make a self-deprecating joke.
"I can totally understand your thoughts. After all, in the rumors outside, we seem to be a group of people who like to meddle in other people's affairs."
"So it's normal for you to take it for granted..."
In fact, Shao Yun could also understand Navia's feelings. After all, Fontaine's legal trial system was indeed very embarrassing and like a child's play.
Again, the theory of burning coal to generate electricity is that if we don’t burn coal, all the people in Fontaine will die. There is nothing we can do about it. This is also the reason why Melo Petersburg exists…
But, I really don't want to get into these meaningless troubles. Now I just have to wait for my brother-in-law to accumulate the energy he needs, and then I will fly away!
……
The topic continued, and Eula told the possible location of Yan Fei now.
"As for Yan Fei, she said this morning that she wanted to buy some books or something. You can find them at the bookstall near my house. If all else fails, you can go to my house. She should be in the apartment."
Shao Yun nodded and thanked him: "Okay, thank you, I'll go right away."
The reason why Shao Yun went to find Yan Fei was very simple, it was to avoid more contact with Youla, which was also what he promised her.
Just when Shao Yun was about to leave to find Yan Fei, Paimeng flew in front of Shao Yun, stopped him, and said unwillingly: "Shao Yun, can I discuss something with you?"
Shao Yun saw Paimeng flying in front of him and wanted to discuss something with him, so he asked, "What's wrong? Paimeng."
Paimon glanced at the door of the opera house's courtroom behind Shao Yun and expressed an idea.
"Although we won't help Linny seek justice and act as his agent, can we find some evidence?"
When Shao Yun heard that Paimeng was still thinking about getting involved in this muddy water, his face instantly became serious.
"What? Didn't I tell you clearly before that we..."
However, Paimeng had anticipated this and quickly interrupted Shao Yun and began to explain eagerly.
"Of course I know, but we are just providing some evidence to Yan Fei. This can also help relieve her burden a little. Just think of it as helping Yan Fei, okay?"
Shao Yun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw Paimeng using Yan Fei as a shield.
He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Um……"
At this moment, the atmosphere around them suddenly became solemn. Navia looked at Shao Yun nervously, while Ying and Silver also held their breath unconsciously.
Calm Miles also quietly waited for Shao Yun to make the final decision.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shao Yun.
Finally, Shao Yun pursed his lips and nodded slowly to show his agreement.
However, he then made his own request.
"Okay, I won't interfere with your social life. I can help you find evidence, but don't bring trouble upon yourself. We already have enough troubles!"
Shao Yun thought, anyway, they were just looking for some evidence, not really going to court to sue, as long as they were careful and cautious, there shouldn't be too big a problem...
Seeing that Shao Yun finally agreed, Paimeng happily patted his chest and assured Shao Yun: "Don't worry, we will definitely not cause any trouble! We are just helping Yan Fei reduce some trouble!"
Shao Yun was afraid that the little guy would get into trouble again because of his impulsiveness, so he warned him again solemnly.
"Paimon, you must remember my words! Don't get carried away and be fooled by that 'boilerman' who 'burns coal to generate electricity'."
"No matter how wonderful her words are, you can't believe even a small punctuation mark!"
Hearing Shao Yun's strange description, Navia couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Burning coal?"
Ying, who was standing beside him, also twitched her lips slightly and muttered in a low voice. "Generate electricity?"
Paimon looked confused and asked, "Boilerman? What does that mean, Shao Yun, are you talking about Funina?"
"But why do you use such strange words to describe her? I don't understand what you mean at all..."
Facing Paimeng's innocent question, Shao Yun remained calm, but his tone was very firm as he warned: "It's okay. It's okay if you don't understand the description. Remember, just remember to treat Funina's words as farts!"
After saying this, Shao Yun walked forward while muttering to himself.
"She actually wanted to use us as coal to generate electricity. It's amazing that she could think of this..."
At this moment, Eula, who had been silent all this time, seemed to suddenly remember something important and said, "Oh, by the way, Shao Yun, could you please pass a message to Yan Fei for me?"
"Tell her I can't go home tonight because I need to work the night shift here, so don't worry about me."
Shao Yun waved his hand without even turning his head and said, "I see. You can tell her in person later."
……
Shao Yun walked out of the magnificent door of the Opiclay Opera House and planned to take the patrol boat back to Fontaine.
When he just arrived at Mojie Station, a familiar and hurried figure caught his attention.
In the distance, Charlotte was jogging towards this side, holding her beloved camera in her hand, muttering to herself.
"I'm late, I'm late. I hope the magic show isn't over yet. I hope the main actors won't leave!"
Shao Yun looked at the figure running towards him in a hurry. When the other person came closer, he was surprised to find that it was Charlotte.
So, he subconsciously called out the other person's name.
"Charlotte?"
Hearing the shout, Charlotte slammed on the brakes and stopped steadily on the spot.
Then she greeted Shao Yun enthusiastically.
"Wow, it's you, Mr. Tacitus! I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to see Linny and Linnette's performance as well?"
Shao Yun smiled and nodded, and the amazing magic show of Linnie on the stage just now emerged in his mind.
However, what impressed him more was the dramatic scene that happened afterwards, when Funina publicly accused Linni of being the murderer of the serial disappearance of girls.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun said to Charlotte thoughtfully: "Yes, I did come to see the magic show."
"Besides, today I not only enjoyed a wonderful magic show, but also witnessed a great play."
Upon hearing this, Charlotte couldn't wait to ask, "Oh? What kind of show is it? Tell me about it!"
Shao Yun told Charlotte everything that Funina had accused Linnie of.
After hearing the whole story, Charlotte opened her mouth in surprise. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and she spoke excitedly.
"Oh my god! This is really shocking news! In recent days, Fontaine's big news is just one after another! Even the serial disappearance of young girls has appeared again!"
Shao Yun stared at Charlotte, and saw that she was as excited as a pirate who had discovered treasure. Fearing that she might have wrong ideas, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on her to calm her down.
"Don't be too happy too soon! This is just a meaningless farce."
"Funina made a big fuss about Villette just because she thought the method of committing the crime was similar to the serial disappearance of young girls."
As Shao Yun spoke, he frowned slightly, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.
After a brief pause, he continued to complain.
"They regarded Linnie as the murderer of the serial disappearance of girls! How can they blame a 17-year-old child for a case that started more than 20 years ago..."
"For the so-called trial, they continue to use coal to generate electricity... I can't comment on that."
After listening to Shao Yun's words, Charlotte could basically understand and agree with what was said before.
However, when she heard the last metaphor about "burning coal to generate electricity", she shook her head in confusion.
Despite this, Charlotte quickly recovered and expressed her views.
“Although your words may sound a little strange, according to the current laws of Fontaine, if someone files an accusation, the relevant trial procedures must be initiated and carried out in accordance with the law.
"Even if there are many logical loopholes and irrationalities in the entire accusation process, the trial process cannot be terminated at will."
At this point, Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But to be honest, I am also very surprised that Linni was identified as the murderer. I don't know why the Water God accused him like this?"
Shao Yun recalled the crowd of people who were watching the fun and making trouble, and the theory of "burning coal to generate electricity",
"Humph, she was completely forced into this by those people. It's ridiculous at first glance..."
After saying that, Shao Yun waved his hands casually with a bored look on his face, indicating that he didn't want to continue talking about this annoying topic.
"Forget it, never mind. Anyway, I came to Fontaine just for tourism this time, and I don't plan to settle down here for a long time. What do these messed up things have to do with me?"
Shao Yun muttered to himself as he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, after he took a few steps, he turned back and kindly reminded Charlotte: "Oh, by the way, if you go to the opera house for an interview, I need to remind you."
"Then Villette has strengthened the security measures of the opera house. When I was about to leave just now, I was asked to register my personal information."
When Charlotte heard Shao Yun's reminder, she quickly nodded in thanks.
"Oh, okay, thanks for the reminder."
Afterwards, the two of them were busy with their own things. Shao Yun went to find Yan Fei, and Charlotte went to the opera house to discover the big news!
