Chapter 800: White Dew and Black Tide Prologue 21
That's it...
This means there are only things that are useless in the right way, there are no useless things?
Navia: I see. So, at least until now, this configuration is necessary, right?
At this moment, something in my mind tried to jump out and remind me...
March 7: Uh... could it be the Fontaine version of the Hundred Year Plan or something like that?
Oh! I thought I had forgotten something, it turns out that this is something the Fontaine Water God is going to do!
Fujimaru Ritsuka: It's really that the plan of the Sumeru Great Compassion Tree King in the previous kingdom, after 500 years, completely eliminated itself, which was too exciting... and then there were a bunch of suicide machines on our side... It's not good for people's hearts.
Compared with Thor's 500-year autism plan, Rock God's retirement plan, and Wind God's slacking plan, it's nothing. After all, they are slacking off, but at least they didn't cancel their accounts.
But considering these gods...it seems like things get bigger and bigger as time goes on?
Traveler: ...Don't think about it. I have no idea what the Water God will do or how to destroy the Heart of God. Let's continue discussing the current plot.
assistant?
So Navia actually holds the position of detective?
Paimon: What? It's obviously me and the Traveler!
Navia: Then I will be the assistant!
It seems that Navia's target is the 'serial disappearance of young girls' case', right?
This means that what happened before was just a lead, which is gradually leading the travelers to investigate the "serial disappearance of girls"
Traveler: But the real purpose in the end must not be the "serial disappearance of girls" but something bigger.
Doctor: I guess it ends with a 'prophecy'.
March 7: These are all foreshadowings, right?
Foreshadowing, all foreshadowing
Administrator Q: By the way, remember to take a closer look at Myles and Silver.
Navia:?
Speaking of which, Melusin... um... is it a kind of 'dragon' or a variant of a marine creature like 'sea hare'? Those two parts that look like horns are a bit like sea hares, but the tail...
If it's a 'Dragon', it shouldn't be this cute, right?
Administrator Q: In Teyvat, it is not considered a dragon species. After all, Zhongli's "dragon" shell is not considered a dragon. But if we use the template of FGO where everything is a dragon, it can be said that it is indeed a "dragon".
……
Administrator Q: Speaking of which, the birth of these children is related to Master Alan~
Alan who plays with machinery: Oh.
Rene: ?
Marianne: ? ?
Jacob: ...Then...does Alan have many children and grandchildren?
Alan who plays with machines: ???
Admin Q: Hahahaha
Erinace: 0.0
[The detective team found a lot of strange props in the tunnel, as well as some water marks and broken bottles. They also found the girl’s clothes and a ventilation hole that a person could pass through.
Only after asking did we learn that the passage led to the basement, and the security guards did not find anyone leaving the basement during the performance or after the accident.
They returned to the opera house from the tunnel. Navia's two companions carried a cooking stove with them. Navia skillfully cooked crispy and tempting macarons in the stove, and everyone tasted them while sorting out the clues they had collected.
The strangest thing about this underground chamber case is that after removing Linny and Linnet, there are only two victims, and there is no third suspect. 】
Lini's magic trick has indeed been completely dismantled and understood
Doctor: But Xiao Meilushin said before that no one went out, and there doesn’t seem to be a place to hide people here... A locked room case?
There aren't any... vents to get out?
But if there were a lot of people down there at the time, how could Linny not notice any movement?
Therefore, there must not be many people acting together, because the more people there are, the easier it is to make noise, and it will be difficult to take the girl away quietly.
March 7: So besides Cowell, there was another person who took the girl away?
Mash: The vent leads to the basement, and there's no one there?
Hiss...has it really become a secret room?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: This tunnel should not have been dug recently, but must have existed before? But...what was this tunnel used for originally?
Paimon: I don’t know, and maybe it was just dug out.
Considering the importance of the opera house in Fontaine, would people dig underground just for a performance? And looking at the things here, it doesn't seem that everything is prepared for magic, like a storage room or something?
……Well…
It must have been there a long time ago, and then Linny found out about it and thought of using this tunnel to design this magic show, right?
Doctor: Then how did he know this secret passage? Would ordinary people ask about the secret passage of a place like the Tribunal for no reason?
The more I think about it, the weirder it gets.
Water...what's going on here...
March 7: Um, it was broken when the girl was struggling after being captured?
Could the sound before be the sound of the vase breaking?
Girls' clothes?
March 7: I don’t know why I remembered the ‘dissolution’ from before… uh, that magic trick…
Doctor: We can't say that the pool of water on the ground that we think was spilled from the broken vase is the missing girl, haha... no way?
Holmes: If there is no trace of the other murderer and the missing girl, then there is a small possibility, but I think that the girl is indeed fine, and I have roughly confirmed the course of events of the case.
Doctor: Huh?
Dan Heng: Let’s think in another way. According to the previous idea, the girl might not be herself, but a thief with such great skills that even the magician Linnie couldn’t catch her... Then is it possible that she noticed that Cowell was about to attack her and then fought back?
Doctor: Knocked Cowell unconscious, stuffed him into a magic box, changed his clothes and ran away? If you think so, as long as you are good enough, it is indeed possible to sneak out of the underground passage when others are relaxed...
If that little Melusin's perception is really as strong as she said, maybe she really hasn't left the opera house.
Navia: With Melusin's perception, she must still be in the opera house.
Funina: But your judgment is based on the premise that you are "determined" that Linnie is not the murderer, right?
Holmes: Indeed, this evidence is totally insufficient to prove that Linney is not the murderer.
Well, we seem to have entered the same train of thought as the travelers, and we all first determined that Linnie must not be the murderer... But in the eyes of the people in the video, these clues are not enough to exonerate Linnie, because there is no evidence that Cowell did it, and the missing girl has not been found.
