"Besides abilities, you should pay attention to the people around you, such as some brother organizations of Spina di Rosula."
Momoshiki said, closing his Sharingan, spreading his hands and saying, "That's all I want to say for now. You can come to me with any suspects."
"Brother organizations?"
Navia put her hand on her chin in confusion, thinking for a moment, she always felt that a figure appeared, but it was blurry.
Myles, on the other hand, was shocked in his heart, looking at Momoshiki in disbelief.
He had a certain answer in his heart, but there was no evidence to bring down that dog thing called Marcel all at once.
Prematurely revealing it would only put the young lady in danger. After all, Navia had been selected as the experimental target from the beginning, which was also the real reason for the death of the previous Spina di Rosula president.
"Can you be more specific? Why should we pay attention to brother organizations?" Myles quickly asked.
"Because your movements have always been grasped throughout the process," Momoshiki glanced at Myles helplessly.
"The things you've investigated are like they were deliberately revealed to you. Even if you really find unexpected clues, they will be quickly overturned. If you don't understand you very well and monitor the whole process, it's not easy to achieve such a seamless connection."
"I don't know what problems there are inside your Spina di Rosula, but when Furina was walking on the street before, I inadvertently observed some information. Cabalier chairman Marcel, based on my intuition, he is very suspicious, but the specifics will have to wait until I use genjutsu to check."
Marcel!
Myles widened his eyes slightly.
As expected! His intuition was correct, Momoshiki could really find out the real culprit in this case!
"Uncle Marcel!!"
Navia, hearing this familiar name, was obviously a little hard to believe.
This uncle, who had watched her grow up since she was a child, Navia couldn't say she had no doubts on weekdays, she could only say that she had never thought of this person at all.
It was like someone playing a role similar to a father in her father's place, silently taking care of her, but suddenly one day she found out that he was the murderer who killed her father, and had also wanted to kill her for a long time.
If it was true, Navia rubbed her temples, only feeling dizzy, almost unable to stand.
"Well, I'm just guessing based on intuition. If there's a chance, it's best to let me get close to him."
"This..."
Paimon looked at Lumine in confusion, and Lumine observed Navia's expression, roughly understanding something in her heart, and said to Momoshiki, "We don't think you're a bad person for now, so we'll temporarily retain trust in your words."
"But the trial time is almost here, send us out."
There was actually more than half an hour before the trial, but the main reason for saying this was to give Navia time to ease her mood and think clearly.
Momoshiki understood, nodding calmly, and then the space twisted instantly, and the group disappeared, returning to the deserted corner of the opera house.
After everyone left, Furina couldn't wait to ask, "Momoshiki, what exactly is the cause and effect? I didn't understand a single sentence!"
"How did you suddenly suspect that Marcel guy?"
"This ah..." Momoshiki turned his head slightly to the side, showing a look that said he wouldn't tell her.
"Hey! Tell me quickly!"
Furina crossed her arms unhappily, feeling like she was being treated like an idiot.
"Okay, okay."
Spreading his hands helplessly, Momoshiki turned on the nonsense mode.
"I have an ability to see the threads of causality, but because my strength hasn't fully recovered yet, I can only use it once, and I've already used it just now."
"Huh?!"
Silly Furina had a big question mark rising on her forehead.
"No way?! You didn't say you had this ability earlier! And you used it in this kind of place!" Furina clutched her chest with some heartache.
With such a heaven-defying ability, it would be great if it could be used to fight the prophecy, having the Sharingan's genjutsu, finding the culprit was only a matter of time, this was too wasteful!
Worthy of being silly Furina, she believed it so easily, even with such a ridiculous reason as seeing causality.
"Okay, okay, I've already used it, it's useless to regret it now, it's better to catch the culprit sooner," Momoshiki said, comforting her like a child.
"Alas... okay..." Furina lowered her head dejectedly, then asked curiously, "Then did you find the culprit?"
"Yeah, that Marcel is the culprit, his original name is Vacher, a Snezhnayan, wanting to revive his lover by doing dissolving experiments."
"Revive his lover?" Furina only felt a storm flash through her mind.
"What happened to his lover?"
"Dissolved and disappeared."
...
In the audience seats, Navia kept her head down in silence, her hands clasped together on her lap, not knowing what she was thinking, even her hat was crooked, forming a sharp contrast with her previous lively and cheerful personality.
The atmosphere was particularly wrong, making Paimon almost depressed.
"Navia."
After being silent for a long time, Lumine finally couldn't help but speak.
In the current situation, what if Navia suddenly wanted to go downstairs to buy something, and didn't take the stairs or the elevator?
But this was obviously a needless worry, although Navia looked unreliable on the surface, she was actually quite strong.
"What's wrong? Partner."
Navia's voice was slightly tired, but it was much better than just now.
"How are you... um... now?"
Not knowing how to comfort her, Lumine hesitated a little troubled, and could only ask normally.
"It's okay, I'm fine now," Navia forced a smile, slightly bitter, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Then now...?"
"Now?"
Thinking for a moment with her head down, Navia's eyes gradually became firmer.
"I've thought it through. Even if the culprit is really Uncle Marcel, I will personally send him to Fortress of Meropide, to give all the victimized girls an explanation, and also to give my father an explanation."
"I won't favor anyone, I will only stand on the side of justice!"
These words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
Myles and Silver next to her smiled at each other.
Worthy of being the young lady we recognize! Even with this kind of blow, she could recover so quickly.
"That's great!" Paimon spun around excitedly in the air.
The atmosphere just now was too scary, she was really worried that Navia would suddenly turn black and become a villain.
"Sorry, I made you worry."
"Don't say that, anyone would have a hard time accepting that kind of blow," Lumine held Navia's hand, conveying some feeling of reassurance.
"Thank you..."
...
In a deserted corner, Furina appeared out of thin air.
"There's half an hour before the trial starts, should we go wait first?"
[No need, Marcel is definitely nearby. You just stand there, I'll use Byakugan to find him.]
Momoshiki said, switching Furina's eyes to Byakugan, under the 360-degree dead-angle see-through inspection, he successfully locked onto a figure emitting an animalistic smell.
Wearing glasses, looking sneaky, his appearance didn't look like a good person, hiding in the corner peeking at Navia's group.
He had clearly done this kind of peeking thing a lot, even Lumine, an experienced traveler, hadn't noticed.
"Did you find anything?"
[Found it. Although I'm not sure, with this familiar animalistic smell, it's probably not wrong.]
"What a strange evaluation."
Furina shook her head with emotion, not saying much.
After all, he was the real culprit in the series of missing girls cases. For those people whose families were broken, Marcel was worse than an animal.
[Since the target has been locked, let's go over too.]
"Yeah."
...
Coming to the VIP box, Navia looked up in Furina's direction, showing a confident smile.
Furina was puzzled for a moment, and then understood, nodding in response, while feeling a little amazed in her heart.
This level of mental blow, she actually recovered so quickly!
Lyney and Lynette had also arrived at the scene, but for some reason, their expressions seemed to carry some incomprehensible loss.
Lumine and Paimon came to the two as defense attorneys, asking curiously, but the two just smiled bitterly and changed the subject, mysteriously.
Neuvillette came to the judge's seat, the thief girl was brought up, and new accusers and witnesses appeared, the trial began.
The accuser's name was Callas, claiming to be a family member of a victim of the series of missing girls cases, accusing Lyney of being the culprit in the series of missing girls cases.
And the witness was a guard, named Vaughn, who found a tube of Primordial Sea Water in Lyney's luggage.
This thing was now the highest-level dangerous item in Fontaine, making everyone shudder, after all, touching it could turn people into water, and it successfully explained where those missing girls had gone.
Heinous! Heinous!!
Seeing that tube of Primordial Sea Water, the audience was furious, almost exploding like a powder keg, constantly blaming and insulting Lyney and Lynette, the scene was out of control for a time.
Even though Lyney and Lynette tried their best to explain that this thing wasn't theirs, they still couldn't stop the crowd's anger.
Neuvillette knocked his cane three times, and the scene calmed down.
"Silence! Please don't disturb the trial process! Otherwise, you will all be treated the same!!" Neuvillette scolded sternly.
"No way! That's Primordial Sea Water!"
"That's right! Why can't we scold them?!!"
"My sister is one of the missing girls! If it weren't for the guards stopping me, I would have torn them apart now!!"
"OMG! Chief Justice is so handsome!! The way he scolded just now was perfect!!"
...
Even though the scene was temporarily controlled, there were still many viewers who voiced their opposition.
"Silence!" Neuvillette knocked his cane again, and an invisible majesty spread out, instantly shocking the audience.
"The final result hasn't appeared yet, the defendants are only suspects, and cannot be confirmed as the culprits!"
These words reduced the number of people who opposed.
"How could this happen..."
Paimon, who had been frightened by the scene of the crowd being furious just now, swallowed, and Lumine was also a little unable to cope for a moment.
"Everyone!"
Just at this awkward time, Furina stood up, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience, including Neuvillette.
"I know your worries about the Primordial Sea, and I also know your hatred for the culprit! I deeply sympathize with the victims!"
"But who exactly is the culprit? It hasn't been found out yet, so we can't jump to conclusions and hurt innocent people!"
Listening to Furina's words, everyone in the audience felt deeply surprised.
What was going on? Wasn't the usual Hydro Archon supposed to come and make trouble at this time? Today, she didn't stir up the water, but came to do serious work?!
The audience members all looked at each other, and their understanding of Furina was refreshed.
The sun really came out from the west.
Lyney and Lynette were also slightly surprised, looking at Lumine and Paimon beside them, seeing that the two didn't have much change in their expressions, the siblings were even more incomprehensible.
But then, Furina's next words completely stunned Lyney and Lynette.
"I, the God of Justice Furina, will naturally stand on the side of justice!"
"It's a pity that if you want to find the real culprit and punish the wicked, you need evidence, this is an eternal truth."
"Although there is no evidence to prove that the other party is the culprit now, I, who can distinguish good from evil, will guarantee with my personality and all my reputation!"
"Lyney and Lynette are definitely not the culprits in the series of missing girls cases!!"
The audience was silent...
