Whispers rose and fell.

Before knowing that humans could dissolve into water, it was indeed impossible for a third person to appear, unless that person was Kaito Kid.

Navia has now figured out the case.

"A pile of clothing was left at the crime scene, which the security guards believed to be props that Jacques used to conceal his identity."

"But actually, those were a third person's clothes!"

"A third person!? How is that possible!?" the audience wondered.

"Yeah, how is that possible? No one can just disappear without a trace." The others also didn't believe it.

"Silence!" Navelette struck her scepter, and the room immediately fell silent.

“Miss Navia, if the clothes belonged to a third party, how did he disappear?” Navia asked.

“It’s primordial seawater; it will dissolve the Fontaines into water,” Navia said.

Naviette was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Navia to know about the Primordial Seawater.

However, humans will only experience discomfort upon contact with primordial seawater; they will not turn into water.

Unless the people of Fontainebleau... are not human in the true sense?

Navelette seemed to realize something and fell silent.

So that's what Fontaine's prophecy was all about; it wasn't simply about being submerged.

How can I save Fontaine? As I am not a complete dragon, I cannot freely control the primordial seawater.

Does Furness know something? She's been investigating the prophecy.

Huh? Wait, why am I thinking about how to save Fontainebleau...?

The audience was puzzled. How could a person dissolve into water? Who could be convinced by such a reason?

However, to everyone's surprise, Navia did not refute, and the scales began to tip slightly in Navia's favor.

All of this proves that what Navia said is very likely true.

Humans really can dissolve into water!

In fact, even without these proofs, Navia had already prepared the original fetal water and related information.

However, it seems that it is no longer needed now.

The people of Fontainebleau trusted Navelette and the Cardinal of the Decree.

Panic began to spread, and prophecies that had previously gone unnoticed started to gain attention.

"This...this...how is this possible? Can a person really dissolve into water?"

"The prophecy about flooding Fontainebleau... No! I don't want to die!"

The crowd erupted into chaos.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Marcel's lips curled into a sneer.

Arrogant people of Fontainebleau, I told you long ago that people can dissolve into water, but you didn't care at all.

They don't believe what people say, but they do believe a mechanical judgment.

Ridiculous!

"Shu..."

Before Navelette could finish speaking, Funina stole her line.

"Silence!" Funina shouted as she stood up.

The crowd quieted down and all looked toward their water god on the high platform.

"Don't panic, I already have a plan to deal with the prophecy!"

"I! Furnessa de Fontaine! Queen of the waters, the ways, the peoples, and the laws! I will not allow the prophecy to come true!"

"Ms. Funina!"

"Lord Water God!"

"It's great, it's great."

"Fufu, my Fufu!" Lin Qiu shouted.

Yes, he has already explored the factory and obtained the evidence.

The crowd gradually quieted down; Fu Ningna still had a significant influence on them.

The people of Fontainebleau also have great faith in their water god.

Since the Water God has said so, there must be a solution.

Funina's hands were trembling as she looked at the crowd below the stage, thinking:

"I must save Fontaine. Is the image of myself in the mirror... really reality?"

"Lin Qiu, please, you must find a way to break the prophecy!"

Navelette looked at Funina, this water goddess was truly unfathomable to him.

He usually seems to be doing nothing and doesn't know anything, but he can unleash great courage at crucial moments.

Violet really didn't know whether the other person truly knew nothing or knew everything.

As a result, Navia's opinion of Funina changed somewhat; she had always regarded the water goddess as a god who did nothing but frivolous things.

After all, it was always Navelette who handled the affairs of Fontaine, and Navelette was responsible for the trial of any incidents.

Funina was like a mascot, only attending trials and meeting with different people.

"The trial continues, Ms. Navia, please continue your statement," Navia said.

"According to the intelligence we gathered from Jacques' family, Jacques had no intention of killing Carles."

"The mastermind had anticipated this, so they sent another person, a third person."

"The third man shot Jacques first, then tried to kill Carres, but Carres seized the gun and killed him in return. That's how the two shots rang out."

"The mastermind dissolved the third person into water and framed Cares for the crime; that's the truth of the case."

"Ms. Charlotte has identified the third person."

"This is sufficient to prove the existence of a third party."

People in the past had never considered the possibility that a human could dissolve into water.

Therefore, the investigation followed the usual approach. No body of the third person was found, nor any trace of their departure, so the existence of the third person was ruled out.

How could they have imagined that the person would dissolve into water and be washed away by the rain?

Charlotte learned that people could dissolve into water, and she began investigating the people who had gone missing that day.

Following this clue, they found the identity of the third person.

Chapter 51 And I Can't Dissolve

"So that's it."

"Wasn't that dangerous substance, primordial fetal water, already being used a long time ago?"

The audience suddenly realized what was happening.

“That makes sense,” Marcel (Vacheron Constantin) agreed.

He was still pretending to be wrongly accused, as if the case had nothing to do with him.

“Please provide your rebuttal, Mr. Marcellus,” Navelette said.

“Rebuttal? Why should I refute? It’s all a misunderstanding. Besides, Navia didn’t directly accuse me of being the mastermind, did she?” Marcell said.

“Since he won’t ask, then I’ll ask him,” said Funina.

She did not ask for evidence of the existence of a third person, as was the original plot.

This time, Navia didn't just make a simple guess; she presented solid evidence.

With the help of Charlotte and others, Navia has identified the third person who went missing that day.

"Since Mr. Carles knew the important information that people can dissolve into water, why didn't he reveal it during the trial?"

"With this trial, there's still room for maneuver..."

Funina went straight to the question that concerned her most, a question related to the prophecy.

“This is because…” Navia hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.

"To protect me, and to protect everyone in the Rose of Thorns Society, Kares chose to sacrifice himself."

"If we had revealed this crucial information back then, we might have been able to catch the real culprit."

"But I and the [Rose Society] will definitely be torn apart by the real culprit's counterattack."

"Perhaps, after this, the police will catch the real culprit and restore 'justice'."

"But what use is 'fairness' then..."

"Hidden information until now has given us, and us, more time."

“After I find out the truth, it will be me, not the opera house, to restore my father’s reputation.”

"..." Funina fell silent.

Is Fontaine's "justice" truly correct?

If Fontaine's "justice" could truly deliver "fairness," how could organizations like the Rose Society be so beloved by the people?

“I have no more questions, Navia, please continue.” Funina sat down.

Little Fufu seemed a little unhappy, and Lin Qiu waved his finger.

A curtain of water swept past Funina's eyes, leaving a rainbow in its wake.

Bubbles float in front of the rainbow, and within the bubbles are reflections of desserts.

This was learned from Fufu's idle animation.

"What is this?" Funina blinked.

A hint of joy appeared in his heterochromatic eyes, and he unconsciously swallowed.

Navelette glanced at Lin Qiu.

The action was not aggressive, so he did not stop it.

But Shuilong couldn't understand Lin Qiu's behavior.

Why do this in front of the water god? What is the point?

“Marcelle, don’t you want to defend yourself?” Navia looked at Marcel.

"Refute? Why should I argue?"

“I already said it was all a misunderstanding. You know, I wasn’t even in Fontaine when the [serial disappearances of girls] happened,” Marcel said with a smile.

He remained calm throughout, and that's why he had a solid alibi.

Unless Navia discovers his other identity, there is no way to prove his guilt.

"Oh? So there's an alibi? Then what's the point of discussing it?" the audience sighed.

It seems this case is about to end.

Navia also turned her gaze to Navia, wondering how Navia would expose the other party's alibi.

“You’re right, 'Marcelle' was indeed not in Fontaine when the [serial disappearances of girls] occurred.”

Navia readily admitted it.

Just when everyone thought Navia had been refuted, Navia changed her tune.

"But Vashj is here!"

“!?!” Marcell’s composure vanished.
