Chapter 208 Silencing
Funina was also greatly shocked when she heard this, although 50 Mora was not a lot for her.
After all, for Furina, who is both a goddess of Fontainebleau and a big star, the number of Mora under her command could fill a palace like the Momo Palace, not to mention Furina herself.
Although Chiag wasn't as powerful as a god, he wasn't short of Mora either. To him, 50 Mora was nothing. What shocked Funinna was...
A crime scene investigation is a given, but not only did he accept Mora's money, he only investigated for five minutes. Five minutes isn't even enough time to bake a cake.
Just as Furina was about to explode in anger, Villette's voice preceded her, "Deit, as the captain of the guards, you secretly hid Les and tricked Mora..."
You should know that these are all illegal acts. As a security guard, you knowingly broke the law. What else do you want to say?
When Funina heard Vilette's question, she looked at Qiuhe again, and Qiuhe explained once more, "The bottle that Vilette just crushed was Les, and that Les was bought by this guard captain."
Funina was shocked again upon hearing this. First, she resisted Mora's deception, then she secretly hid Les. If she weren't the highest administrator of Fontaine, even the Chief Justice would be under her jurisdiction.
Fu Ningna couldn't believe that this guy was actually the captain of a guard squad. The guard captain, seeing that both important figures were looking at him...
Terrified, he repeatedly kowtowed to Vilette and Funina, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lady Vilette, Lady Water God, yes, I was momentarily bewitched."
"It's all my fault. Please forgive me this time, my lords. I promise I'll never do it again." Vilette's disappointment was beyond words, just as Funina had said.
This captain of the guard was personally recommended by Navigette. Almost all the other team captains were recommended by the examiners after passing the guard assessment, but Navigette personally recommended him.
This is enough to prove how much he trusts this person, and the person he sent today to secretly guard the missing girl in the case of the missing girl is also this guard captain.
But what he was seeing now was a corrupt guard who knowingly broke the law, stealing Les and swindling a large sum of Mora—something Villette could hardly believe.
"Deit is capable of breaking the law; could the disappearance of that girl also be related to him?" "Deit, I'm having you investigate the possibility of another girl disappearing in this series of missing girl cases."
"Is the girl's disappearance also related to you?" Deit was too frightened to speak; the two previous offenses combined had already put his job in jeopardy.
If Villette were to find out that he was also involved in the serial disappearances of teenage girls, his fate would likely be quite tragic. And when Frynn heard that this matter was also connected to the serial disappearances of teenage girls...
He then looked at Deit with a very angry expression, "Deit, this matter is far more serious than the previous two. You'd better confess and receive leniency."
"Otherwise, when this deity discovers it, you can expect to spend the rest of your life in Mero Petersburg." Upon hearing this, Deit quickly pleaded.
"No, no! I'll talk, I'll talk! The serial disappearances of girls have nothing to do with me! The mastermind behind it all is... is... Ma..."
Just as Deit was about to reveal the murderer, an arrow suddenly flew from afar, heading straight for Deit. Vilette, with her keen senses, also noticed it.
With a sharp glance, he instantly raised his scepter and snapped the flying arrow in half. But even though the arrow was broken...
Suddenly, a drop of unidentified liquid shot out from the arrow and flew towards Deit. As the drop of liquid hit his face, Deit's body rapidly turned into water.
"Aaaaaah!!!" After a sharp scream, Deit had turned into a pool of water. Vilette's expression turned solemn upon seeing this.
Seeing a living person simply melt away before her eyes, Funina seemed startled, covering her mouth with her hand and taking a step back.
Qiuhe quickly grabbed Funina's hand, "Don't be afraid, Funina." Navelette also looked in the direction the arrow had come from, but saw nothing.
"No need to look anymore. There are houses all around, and that arrow probably wasn't shot with a bow. The archer was likely quite far away."
"Plus, with the houses providing cover, they've definitely vanished by now." Listening to Qiuhe's explanation, Vilette's expression was now very complicated.
Seeing this, Qiuhe said nothing more, walked over to the dissolved guard captain, picked up a Mora bag, and looked at the guards lying unconscious on the ground around him.
"I controlled my strength as much as possible when I struck. These guards were only knocked unconscious; they weren't seriously injured. Now, have someone take them back."
"Wait until they wake up, maybe you can still get some information out of them. Don't wait until they're silenced before you regret it," Qiuhe said before taking the Mora bag and heading towards the villa. Funina followed.
Navelette was also feeling incredibly exhausted. After letting out a long sigh, she looked at the guards who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines.
From the moment he arrived here until he witnessed everything unfold, the guard was still somewhat dazed. He only snapped out of his daze when he saw Vilette staring at him and quickly explained:
"Lord Vilette, um, I know nothing about this. The captain didn't tell us anything about Les or anything. We were just blinded by greed and lied to Mora."
"And these were the captain's ideas, they have nothing to do with us. I, I swear, this has absolutely nothing to do with me," Navelette said helplessly, closing her eyes.
"Let's talk about these things later. Go and have someone take all these guards back to recover properly. Your injuries aren't light either; you'll need to rest for the next five days."
"There's no need to come to the courthouse for now. Go home and rest for a few days." Hearing this, the guard was moved to tears and repeatedly bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Vilette. Once we recover, we will definitely fulfill our duties and ensure that this never happens again."
After the guard finished speaking, he quickly ran to call for help, while Qiuhe, who had arrived at the villa, knocked on the door. "It's me, old butler. I've taken care of everything outside."
"You can open the door now." Hearing Qiuhe's voice, the old butler opened the door slightly and peeked out.
There were gunshots, shouts, and the sound of people being thrown against walls outside. Just now, a heart-wrenching scream of pain rang out.
The people inside the villa were also somewhat startled, and when the butler peeked through the crack in the door, he only saw Qiuhe. "Don't worry, old butler."
I just taught those guys a lesson; they probably won't dare to do it again next time." The old butler saw that things outside had truly calmed down.
Finally, the door slowly opened, and only after pushing it open could one see that there were two people standing outside: Vilette and Funina.
"Lord Water God, Lord Judge, what brings you two here? Uh... I was unaware of your presence; please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."
Seeing this, Funina remained silent. She was completely at a loss as to how to face the people from Qiage's family; they probably knew everything Qiage had done.
She wasn't even sure if she might have been a participant; her anger over the 50 Mora fraud wasn't out of any sense of justice for the Chiag family.
Rather, it was because the matter itself was contrary to justice that Funina naturally could not tolerate it. Qiuhe also noticed Funina's embarrassed expression and smiled as he spoke to the butler:
"Old steward, don't worry about them. These two just arrived here to survey the situation with me. I didn't tell you beforehand, so naturally you wouldn't know."
"Oh, and this too, take this." Qiuhe said, handing the bag of Mora back to the old butler. "This...this is..."
"Old Butler, investigating a crime scene is an official duty, and there's no need to charge Mora for it. The guard captain from before has already been taken back to receive his punishment."
"This Mora will naturally be returned to its rightful owner." Hearing Qiuhe's words and looking at the guards lying on the ground outside, the old butler naturally understood everything. After a few seconds of silence,
He then took Mora's hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Qiuhe, and thank you also to Lord Water God and Lord Navelette for being willing to help the Second Miss at this time."
I deeply regret this. It was my incompetence in failing to dissuade you, sir, that led to this disastrous outcome. We have failed Fontaine and, moreover, have betrayed your trust.”
Hearing the old man's apology, Funina's eyes were filled with complex emotions. After a short silence, she spoke in a low voice, somewhat dejected:
"You don't need to apologize for anything. None of you did anything wrong. The only one who should be held responsible is Chiag. It's wrong to punish one person's family because of their mistake."
Then justice ceases to be justice.
