Chapter 709 You can only play for 1 day
Xu Ning looked at the empty space below the stage and seemed to hesitate.
After all, a lot happened in that short minute.
Xu Ning knew that Kong must have deduced from his conversation with the young master that Lin Ni and the others actually belonged to the Fools.
The Fools have a long-standing reputation for infamy; what if they really were behind all these events in Fontaine?
However, when he faced off against Funina earlier, Linni did indeed help Kong, so logically he wanted to help her as well.
The younger brother is conflicted, and the older brother naturally cannot sit idly by.
Xu Ning spoke slowly, letting a gentle breeze carry his voice to Kong's ears.
“Empty, Linni is innocent, you may grant the request of the Water God.”
Kong suddenly looked up in their direction and then firmly declared, "I am willing to stand on Linni's side and become his agent."
Xu Ning approvingly raised his wine gourd to him.
Navigette solemnly announced, "Where there is accusation, there must be trial. You both have one day to investigate the incident and seek the truth. The trial will be held at the opera house tomorrow."
"During this time, Linni and his magic troupe, as the parties involved, must all remain inside the opera house. The remaining audience members may leave on their own after the security team confirms their presence."
A murder case could potentially lead to a vicious crime that has been going on for twenty years, not to mention the possibility of finding the kidnapper and murderer. Yet our Supreme Judge only gave us one day to find the truth.
Xu Ning smiled as he watched Villette walk out of the opera house. "Such a childish arrangement. It seems you've seen through this magic trick; it was just a prelude."
However, our "silly Fufu" Water God, as the accuser in the trial, was actually swaggering back to the palace to have some snacks. Xu Ning could only hurry over to apply to stay.
"Firstly, I want to join in the fun. Secondly, I can also keep an eye on your opponents for you; knowing your enemy is half the battle."
"Hahaha, I am a god. If I want to know what they are doing, I can do it with a snap of my fingers. But since you are interested in staying here, then so be it."
After saying that, "Silly Fufu" Water Goddess arrogantly led her bodyguards and honor guard out.
Kong was already waiting for Xu Ning, and when he saw that Xu Ning was alone, he immediately came over.
"Brother, how do you know these things have nothing to do with Linni?"
Xu Ning shook his head helplessly, "I never said these things had nothing to do with Lin Ni. The one who died was his supporting actor, and the missing girl was chosen by him personally. How could it be unrelated?"
Kong froze, "But brother, you just told me..."
“I’m saying he’s innocent. This isn’t a one-man show by Linnie. Just go and find evidence for him. The truth will soon come out and justice will surely prevail.”
Kong nodded. "I understand. I'll go look for any suspicious points in the case right away."
Xu Ning couldn't help but feel a little moved as he watched Kong quickly get to work. Look at him, what a useful tool he is!
Just as I was marveling at it, a splash of pink suddenly caught my eye, and I kept hearing the clicking sounds.
Xu Ning turned his head and saw Charlotte, holding a phonograph camera, snapping photos of the tragic scene on the stage like a busy little bee.
Very well, another tool has arrived.
"Charlotte, great reporter, you're here so fast!"
Charlotte snapped a close-up photo of Xu Ning before replying, "I didn't arrive quickly; I've been here the whole time. It's just that I couldn't get front-row tickets to sit in the back with Abel and watch the magic show."
“That’s quite a coincidence,” Xu Ning said with a smile, glancing around the scene. “It seems you’re going to have the front page headline of Steambird News this time. I doubt any reporter from Fontainebleau could get here as quickly as you.”
Charlotte shook her head. "The Steambird newspaper doesn't just consider speed when publishing articles; the key is the control over the details and depth of the news events..."
"learn."
Xu Ning took out the glasses with the commemorative lens from his pocket, and with a little force, removed the lens.
"Want to get the latest breaking news anytime? Give me your camera lens."
Charlotte immediately hugged her phonograph camera to her chest.
“What are you doing? Mr. Wen Hengting was commissioned by my father; he is my most important companion.”
"You actually named the phonograph machine, and even called it 'Mr.'? Okay, okay, I won't let Mr. 'Truth' get hurt, I'll only make it stronger..."
Xu Ning half-coaxed and half-grabbed Charlotte's camera and skillfully installed the lens from his own hand onto it.
"Come on, try it on a person."
Charlotte took Mr. Wen Hengting with a suspicious look, then pointed it at the security guards who were cleaning up the scene on the stage.
"Oh oh oh oh..."
Charlotte's already large eyes widened instantly, and she turned her head tremblingly, her words becoming stammered.
"Silence for the sellers, the sellers, the sellers, the sellers..."
Xu Ning shook his head, "I won't sell. I still need these lenses, and besides, I'm not short of money."
"Lord Chicken, lend me, lend me, lend me, lend me..."
Xu Ning said disdainfully, "No way. What if you borrow and never pay it back? Not only will I not get the money back, but I'll also have to search the whole world for you."
"Meridian rent, rent..."
"Alright, alright, stop stammering and trying to come up with ideas. You can only use it for one day. As a reporter, you can openly use it to screen everyone here. Any useful information you find is yours. I only have two requests: don't rush to release any bombshells, and share information. Is that alright?"
Charlotte excitedly gave a thumbs-up, then hurriedly chased after the guards.
Seeing everyone busy at work, Xu Ning instead returned to his VIP seat.
"Linnie's magic show is like pulling a small thread out of a tangled ball of yarn, but every show has an end, so who will hold onto that thread and relentlessly untangle the ball?"
As I was pondering this, three people suddenly emerged from the shadows near the stairs.
To be precise, it was two men dressed in black suits, looking like gangsters from a past life, escorting a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed girl, who walked straight toward them.
"Hello, Mr. Xu Ning."
The man in black seemed to have already investigated his identity and didn't seem to intend to hide it, calling out his name directly.
Xu Ning slightly raised his eyes, but did not answer, quietly waiting for the girl in the middle to speak.
“I am Navia, the current president of the Rose Society.”
Rose Society?
Xu Ning twirled the gourd in his hand and smiled.
"You're only arriving now? I thought you should have come to me two days ago."
