Genshin Impact: I am the law of nature, not your wife!

Chapter 180 Chosen as the Target of the Missing Girl Case

The two people who were originally on the same front suddenly turned against each other, and it was Navia's father who shot and killed Jacques.

This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

With normal thinking, one would definitely look for the reasons in Jacques and Carles.

But the strange thing is that Carres had no motive to kill Jacques, and according to Miles, Jacques was a kind person during his lifetime and had confessed countless times for his behavior of trafficking Les.

Unlikely to betray.

After going around in circles, neither of them had any reason to shoot and kill the other.

Navia sighed: "It's very similar to Linny's case, the undoubted murderer and the motive of the murderer that is beyond comprehension."

"It's indeed a bit difficult, Navia. The time interval is too long. Going back in time may not be of much help this time. You have to be mentally prepared."

Ye Yu gave Navia a heads-up in advance. Even if time was turned back, all the evidence would probably have disappeared after so many years.

What we discuss while sitting in the sewer is ultimately just speculation, and the specific situation still needs to be investigated in person.

I don’t know whether those unknown evidences that reveal the truth of the case can withstand the erosion of time.

Even after so many years, Navia couldn't help but feel a little bit uneasy when she returned to the manor where the crime occurred.

Right here, in that courtyard.

The rain mixed with the bright red, and his father, holding a rifle...

pat, pat...

One drop, two drops...

Looking up at the sky, it was covered with dark clouds, and a wet feeling dripped onto Navia's face.

Paimon covered his head with his hands and flew under the eaves of the manor.

"Why is it raining out of nowhere? Isn't the weather in Fontaineland so unpredictable?"

Raindrops as big as beans poured down, and Paimon couldn't help but be glad that he ran... no, it was because he floated fast.

Otherwise, I would be drenched like Ye Yu...

Looking at Ye Yu, Paimeng was dumbfounded.

When did the rain become so hypocritical? Did it even learn to avoid Night Talk?

Unlike Paimon who got a little wet in the rain, Yeyu didn't even get the corners of his clothes dirty.

Just walked from the rain to under the eaves.

"...You make me look stupid." Paimon stared with dead eyes.

"Who told you to run so fast? Look at the little ones, they are following me, they are not wet either, right?" Ye Yu also gave him a dead look.

Looking at the rain, Navia stretched her hands out from the eaves and let the rain wet her sleeves.

"That night, it was also raining heavily..."

It's raining heavily too?

Watching the water flowing down from the eaves, washing away the dust on the steps of the manor over and over again, until the rain carried away the dust and merged into the soil and disappeared.

A light bulb went off in Ye Yu's mind.

"Navia, can you tell from which direction Jacques was shot?"

"The autopsy report given by the security team at the time said that the bullet entered from the back." Navia replied.

"What positions were Mr. Cares and Jacques in when you arrived at the crime scene?"

Navia said after understanding what Ye Yu wanted to express.

"My father and Jacques were face to face at the time, which is also one of the suspicious points in the case."

How could the bullet that killed Jacques have entered from the back when they were facing each other head-on?

Unless, there was a [third party] at that time!

"Ms. Yeyu, the security team and we have both speculated on this hypothesis, but... there is no evidence at the scene to support the existence of a third party." Miles said.

"No, it's not that there's no evidence. It's just that at the time, the 'evidence' or the 'third party' could have been washed away by the rain... No, it would be more accurate to say that it was covered up."

"Remember the idea I mentioned when I reconstructed Cowell's modus operandi at the opera house that 'primordial fetal water can dissolve the Fontaine people'?"

"Although this may sound incredible, it is not alarmist."

"Thinking back to Cowell's attempt to use a falling water tank to cover up the water stains left by the girl's dissolution, isn't it similar to using rainwater to cover up water stains?"

"And, most importantly, [Les] is most likely made from primordial fetal seawater..."

Ye Yu's words made Navia's scalp tingle.

If it is really as Ye Yu speculated, then everything makes sense.

The reason why there is no evidence to support the existence of the "third party" is because the third party dissolved into water and most of the evidence was covered by the rainy night.

The reason for the two gunshots was that one was fired at Jacques by a third party, which also explains why the bullet penetrated from the back.

The other shot was fired by Cares at a third person.

Since the third person was behind Jacques, when Navia and the others arrived, they saw Cares holding a gun.

Everything seems to have a traceable path.

"Ms. Yeyu, you are truly a genius!"

Navia recalled a small detail at the crime scene.

A small detail that is overlooked by everyone.

"Myles, do you remember that there was a set of clothes left at the scene?"

"Miss, what you mean is..." Miles rested his chin on his hand.

"That's right. We all thought at the time that it was a disguise Jacques used to avoid being noticed. Now it seems to be irrefutable evidence of the presence of a third party!"

Navia was very excited. After all, people can dissolve into water, but clothes cannot!

Even if most of the evidence is covered by rain, there will still be clues left.

"Don't get excited, Navia. This is just my speculation based on Linnie's case. There is no actual evidence."

"Also, there is one question I don't understand."

"As you said, if your father was truly wronged, then why did he refuse to stand trial and instead wanted to die in the duel?"

Like a basin of cold water poured over her head, Ye Yu instantly extinguished Navia's excitement.

Yes, let alone Yeyu, even Navia herself didn’t understand this problem.

Why does he have to use a duel to prove his innocence?

Now [Les] is still there, and the once kind-hearted Kares has become [Kares the Unjust], and the Thorn Rose Society is also dying.

Death can't change anything...

"Perhaps I can answer this question for you, Miss Yeyu." After a long silence, Miles spoke.

"In fact, the boss had already discovered the connection between [Le Si] and the [Missing Girl Case] ​​a long time ago, and he also had key evidence of the other party's crime..."

"But... the boss didn't have much time left at that time."

"What does 'time is running out' mean?" Navia asked blankly.

"That's exactly what it says, Miss. The boss has a very rare disease, and the doctor told him that he won't live more than five years."

"And the reason the boss was willing to die was because you, Miss, were chosen as the target in the missing girl case."
