Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

The Duke frowned, indicating that he had no idea what had happened. He turned his gaze to Sigwen and asked her opinion on the matter.

Sigwen calmly told the Duke to wait a moment, she had a way to confirm whether the man was really Honoré. Then, she walked quickly towards the man and began to examine him physically.

She carefully observed the man's face and body features, then gently touched his skin with her fingers. When she touched the pustules on the man's cheeks, she frowned slightly, but did not show much surprise.

Sigwen turned around and explained to the Duke: "This man is indeed Honoré. He has a serious abscess problem on his face and needs to go to the hospital in Fontaine for surgery. Therefore, I once approved him to leave the prison to see a doctor accompanied by the guards."

Honoré seemed greatly encouraged by the head nurse's admission. He immediately straightened his chest, crossed his arms, and showed a smug expression. At the same time, his voice became excited, as if to emphasize his correctness.

Officer Morgana felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, and murmured, "So someone was indeed swapped... I can understand this Bolton, but what about the rest of the prisoners? It can't be that their souls were swapped, right?"

Sigwen shook her cute head and explained, "No, it's their faces that were replaced. The specific method should be just like replacing teeth. You have to take out the bad teeth first, and then put the dentures in. Well... I can prove it to you."

"Traveler, Paimon, do you remember Eric from yesterday? You can testify for me. Please help me find the prisoner named Eric first."

[Paimon: I thought Sigwen was going to show us a live face-changing show]

[Sigwen: I'm just a head nurse. I don't have that much ability. Besides, I don't have that kind of prop in my hand.]

[Navia: To put it another way, if we have this material, can the head nurse have her face replaced? ]

[Ke Lai: It turns out that the head nurse is this kind of Mei Luxin. Under her cute appearance, she hides a dark heart]

[Sigwen: Sigwen, I don’t know. I don’t understand a word of it.]

[Qin: I feel like I'm seeing Klee. Every time I ask Klee, she says she doesn't know]

[Klee: Klee really doesn’t know. And Captain Jean, you didn’t ask Klee any questions, you just asked me to tell you. Klee really doesn’t know.]

[Kaia: That’s right, how can you know how to answer if you don’t ask? ]

[Qin: Maybe I forgot because I was busy recently]

...

After careful observation by Ying, Eric was finally found. This robot was as difficult to find as a cannon in a one-on-one fight.

Sigwen asked uncertainly: "Are you...Eric?"

"Eric" nodded repeatedly, but the process still had to be followed, and the inspection order was the same as yesterday.

"First of all, please recall which finger you extended when I tested you last time?" Sigwen's voice was filled with anticipation.

Eric answered without hesitation: "Index finger."

Hearing this answer, Paimon's eyes widened and he was amazed in his heart. It seems that the answer has surfaced. Now there are two Erics, and they are not the same person!

The Duke looked at Paimon and Ying.

Paimon couldn't stand the Duke's scrutiny and explained quickly, "It's like this. That night, Eric, who claimed to have seen another self, suddenly returned to normal. He asked Sigwen to leave the ward. Before allowing him to leave, Sigwen gave him another test. However, Sigwen extended his little finger in that test."

Eric was stunned and said, "I don't know what test was conducted last night. After entering the ICU, there was nothing to do anyway, so I took a nap. When I woke up, I was already in the cell for serious criminals."

Duke Leosley said calmly: "If so, then the strange things that happened in Melo Petersburg in the past two days can all be explained reasonably. Those serious criminals who wanted to escape from prison first targeted a group of scapegoats, that is, those prisoners who were about to be released after serving their sentences, and planned to disguise themselves and them into each other's appearance.

Last night, they ambushed the night watchman Odilan and used disguises to replace Odilan with one of their own, thus avoiding the inspection of other guards. After that, when all other prisoners fell asleep, they used the identity of the night watchman to complete the whole plan of stealing and replacing the prisoners. "

"However, there was a flaw in this plan. Henry disguised himself as Eric before the operation began, and was accidentally spotted by the real Eric. The real Eric went to the guard for help, but at the time, we did not have enough information, so we could only temporarily send him to the intensive care unit as a paranoid patient. With the help of the guard's fake identity, they quickly replaced Eric, and this action led to even more serious consequences."

[Young Master: Good fellow, what a criminal genius! ]

[Navia: How on earth did they get this thing? ]

[Claulinde: We are real humans now, and the original fetal sea water has no effect on us, so it is easy to obtain. In addition, the original fetal sea water is not controlled now.]

[Young Master: Let me make it clear in advance that I am not the one who committed the crime this time. Please stop bringing up the idea of ​​me being a suspect in a series of missing girls cases. I was only 19 years old at the time. How did I become a criminal 20 years ago? Did the God of Time send me back in time?]

[Sigwen: Hmm... at that time, Eric was put on my guardianship list. Without my permission, he could not go through the procedures for being released from prison. In other words, these two impostors staged a play to get me to remove Eric's impostor from the guardianship list. Is this the human mind? It's really interesting. I am becoming more and more interested in humans.]

[Nashida: Human wisdom is indeed infinite, but there are always some people who use this wisdom for strange things. For example, Seno is always calm and serious when working, but when he encounters the summons of the Seven Saints, he racks his brains to win.]

[Seno: Because it is the Seven Saints Summons, it is worth it]

[Klee: The fish is delicious, so it's worth it! ]

【Qin: …..】

...

Officer Morgana shook her head. Although this inference sounded correct, unfortunately, this possibility had long been ruled out.

A Melusin named Xia said, "Cases of using disguises to commit crimes have appeared a long time ago. One of Melusin's responsibilities in the Shadow Chaser Court is to identify this type of criminal. I carefully observed these prisoners and found no signs that they were disguised."

So it is more likely that they stole the information of prisoners who were about to be released from prison, and then used this to lie.

Sigwen doesn't think so. There is a potion that can completely change a person's appearance. If they use this potion, even Melusin won't be able to tell them apart.

Morgana was shocked, and then asked seriously: "Head nurse, I have never heard of such a thing. If this potion really exists, it will be a disaster for the entire case-handling system of the Shadow Chaser Court. Are you sure?"

Sigwen nodded.

Morgana's heart was like a herd of galloping alpacas at this moment. This news was really too outrageous. If it was allowed to develop without being stopped, Fontaine would be in chaos.

Leosley agreed, "Of course I understand. Words alone are not enough. I think... if we can gather together the suspects who are suspected of being switched, and have a confrontation between the two sides, maybe there will be a result."

Morgana nodded. This was the only thing she could do at this point.

But something unexpected happened. Lambesa ran over breathlessly, with a panicked tone: "Oh no, Your Excellency the Duke! I just asked the front desk to suspend the release procedures as you instructed, but a group of people have already completed the procedures and left two hours ago."

Only then did Leosli react. It seemed that they had planned it all along and the substitution was a fact.

Paimon: "Is it too late to chase him now?"

Morgana shook her head. If that kind of potion really existed, then they could just change their appearance after being released from prison. In this way, even Meilushin of the Shadow Court would not be able to recognize them and there would be no way to investigate.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Melusinxia suddenly said, "If you must talk about clues, there is actually one left. These people were arrested and imprisoned thanks to a researcher from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. I remember the researcher's name was Lavater."

"I remember that he was a researcher specializing in pharmaceutical theory. One of the crimes these prisoners were charged with was the production and sale of banned drugs. According to the information provided by Mr. Rawat, these prisoners seemed to have stolen the technology he developed. When he first discovered it, he thought it was just ordinary patent infringement, so he approached these prisoners to negotiate, and then he found out that they were committing a crime, and then he reported it immediately."

[Kaeya: Foreshadowing recovered, this guy is definitely not a good person]

[Keqing: Changing one's appearance can only work on ordinary people. It's impossible to imitate our temperament.]

[Cole: This is the first time I hear Paimon praise someone for being handsome.]

[Paimon: Eh! Is that weird? I have always had a human aesthetic.]

[Lisa: We always thought that Paimon was the aesthetic of the elves]

[Paimon: ??? Apart from being able to fly, what else is different about me that makes me different from a human? ]

[Xingqiu: I can tell at a glance that you are not human! You bold monster!]

[Alice: The Great Heavenly Dragon, the Great Luo Mantra, the Prajna Buddhas, the World Honored One Ksitigarbha, and the Prajna Paramakong are now in effect! ]

【fluorescent:…..】

[Keqing:…..]

[Yae Shenzi: It's over, the old woman has gone crazy, this is really... great! ]

[Navia: Ahem, let's get back to the point. Do you think it was because of profit issues that Rawat reported them?]

[Claude: It is very likely. After all, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.]

[Lisa: The thief crying "stop thief" was probably directed and acted by him]

[Sino: Speaking of potions, I remember that my senior sister also seemed to understand]

[Lisa: I only know a little bit. Albedo knows a lot. Sister, I just help with the sales.]

....

Leosli nodded silently, indicating his agreement. After all, this clue was indeed worth considering. As the informant, Rawat was very likely to become their primary target for revenge after the jailbreak.

Sigweng turned her gaze to Morgana and asked her firmly if she could go with them to hunt down the fugitives.

Morgana felt a little confused and asked, "Why is that?"

Sigwen took a deep breath and explained seriously: "I am also responsible for letting the fake Eric leave the ICU last night. And...actually, I have a personal reason. That Bolton is my patient. If I can't change his medicine in time, his condition will deteriorate sharply. So, I must find him!"

Morgana listened quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She understood Sigwen's concerns, but she also understood the danger of this mission.

"Head nurse, I understand how you feel, but arresting criminals is a very dangerous task. If anything goes wrong with you, our entire team cannot bear the responsibility.

The Duke looked at the Traveler and Paimon who were eating melons on the side, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He knew that now was the time to send these two out! After all, they were good at solving problems!

[Ying: This look... I always feel like there's something wrong with it]

[Paimon: He wants to do hard labor for us! We are not tools! ]

[Navia: Melusin is Violet's retainer. If anything happens to her, the entire Shadow Chaser Court will probably be scolded.]

[Sigwen: I also know a little bit of martial arts, and I also have the Eye of God. Some humans are no match for me.]

[Navilette: No, I will not implicate innocent people, but those who hurt Melusin must be severely punished.]

[Funina: Yes, yes, send them all in one by one to the sewing machine]

[Navia: Um... Why does Fontaine have to ask her partner for everything? Is there no one left in Fontaine? ]

[Catherine: Because she is cheap and completes travelers' requests quickly and accurately, her unit price is very low. Who else should I choose if not her? ]

[Paimon: Shameless! What do you mean our public price is very low? We worked so hard for so long. We stayed in the desert for 7 days in Xumi! 7 days! Our skin was tanned, and we only got such a small reward.]

[Ying: You have gone too far in bullying me! You are already seeking death! ]

[Kaeya: The Adventurer's Association was wrong in this matter. I condemn it on behalf of Mondstadt!]

[Keqing: I didn't expect the exploitation to be so harsh. On behalf of Liyue, I condemn this! ]

[Paimon: From the cabin to the big villa, great. I'll remember this grudge. I'm enjoying the meal now, but I'll spit it out later.]

...

"Ms. Morgana, the hypothesis of the potion was proposed by the head nurse. She must know more about it than you do. I suggest asking her to act together. If you are really worried about the head nurse's safety..." The Duke glanced at the two special forces beside him.

Ying and Paimon also joined decisively, after all, Melosin is so cute!

The Duke had spoken, so Ms. Morgana said nothing more and left with everyone.
