Chapter 725 The Place Where Les Was Made
Xu Ning gently tapped on the newspaper office door with his finger.
The moment the knocking began, the voices inside fell silent.
Xu Ning then heard someone say, "It must be troublemakers coming. Grab your weapons..."
The editor-in-chief of the magazine, Ou Fu, then reached the door with a helpless voice.
“People who cause trouble don’t knock so politely… Oh, it’s Mr. Xu Ning, please come in.”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Let's not go in. I came here to go shopping with Charlotte."
Charlotte's face lit up with delight, and she dashed out, "Okay, no problem, let's go!"
Editor-in-Chief Ou reached out and blocked the door, her face full of disapproval.
“Mr. Xu Ning, although I know you are incredibly powerful, things are in chaos outside right now, and I’m afraid someone might take advantage of the situation…”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's alright. Those people are too busy taking care of themselves right now to bother Charlotte."
Editor-in-Chief Ou sighed, recalling the crowds of people holding rolled-up newspapers all over the streets. "Even if they can't care right now, they will in a while..."
Xu Ning laughed heartily, "After a while? Then there's even less to worry about."
With the keen intuition of a journalist, Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu asked almost simultaneously with Charlotte, "Why not worry? Has the situation outside changed? Or did you, Mr. Xu Ning, do something?"
Xu Ning coughed awkwardly. You really have to be careful when talking to these media people; you can't let the slightest word slip out.
Seeing that Xu Ning had stopped talking, Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu suspiciously opened the door and gave Charlotte a few instructions.
Basically, it means avoiding remote places and crowded areas... in short, not actively creating opportunities for others to take advantage of you.
Charlotte, eager to gain her freedom as quickly as possible, almost readily agreed.
Charlotte wanted to go to Moman Palace as soon as she left the house, saying she wanted to take some historical photos.
This historic moment was almost entirely created by this little girl; it would be inexcusable not to take some pictures.
Xu Ning casually gave Charlotte the lens he had promised to play with for a few days back to her. As for whether the little girl would use it again to create a historic moment in the next five days, Xu Ning had no say in that.
"Just before I came in, I heard you and Editor-in-Chief Ou talking about a guy named Zhi Dong being identified as the real culprit. What happened?"
Xu Ning stood on the stone door frame at the entrance to the fourth floor of the waterway hub, drinking his wine. He watched Charlotte beside him take pictures of the dense crowd of demonstrators below against the backdrop of the Mo Mang Palace and casually asked about what he had just heard.
Above this stone archway, which is strikingly similar in style to the Arc de Triomphe, is the only place to stand between the Moman Palace and the aqueduct hub. Only a journalist like Charlotte, who is very good at taking pictures, would choose to climb up here without hesitation.
Even so, Charlotte kept shifting back and forth in the narrow space, searching for the most suitable angle of light.
Hearing Xu Ning's question, he kept taking pictures and casually replied, "It's that most unconventional executive son of Zhi Dong. I don't know why he insisted on getting involved in this mess... although I have a rather disrespectful guess."
Xu Ning thought to himself, "Maybe it's because you don't know him well enough. He's the kind of boring guy who'd wade into any muddy water."
However, Xu Ning still asked Charlotte what her guess was.
"After the Linni Magic Case was over, the drug organization's plan to frame the Fools failed, and they were brought to the forefront, instantly becoming the target of public criticism."
"I think their most important task is to divert people's attention from them. So if someone can come up with the courage to confess, and this person is heavy enough to cause diplomatic problems between the two countries, that would be ideal. Then neither the public nor the Fontaine government would have time to pay attention to this organization. Such a person..."
Xu Ning pointed to his gourd and said, "Suddenly I feel that I am actually more suitable to be the person you are talking about, and you know I have this, which makes it easier to frame someone."
Charlotte nodded, her hands still busy, and said, "Indeed, but how could you possibly act according to their plan? So that young master is the most suitable candidate, after all, he really seems stupid..."
Is the young master stupid?
Xu Ning thought about it carefully, and yes, it was both stupid and appropriate.
"...He spends all day loitering around the gates of the Palace of Momo and harassing Claurind. If someone told him that he was accused of being the murderer in the serial disappearances of girls, he could have a duel with Claurind openly at the opera house, he would probably go to the guards and say that he was the murderer."
After Charlotte finished her analysis, Xu Ning wanted to applaud her.
Okay, I take back what I said about you not understanding the young master. That idiot understood it perfectly at a glance; you saw it without missing a beat.
Xu Ning didn't care about the accusations against the young master.
In order to clear Carles's name, the Rose Society will certainly not deal with Marcel secretly, but will instead take him to the Opiclie Opera House for a grand trial.
Now that the real culprit has appeared, the young master will naturally be released without charge.
What we should really care about is the location or route through which Marcellus obtained the water of the primordial womb.
This is why Xu Ning was willing to accompany Charlotte to the Mo Mang Palace.
"The clothes that Sonny sent back should have been discovered by now, right? The little birds that have sensed the danger should be heading back to their nests."
When Charlotte had taken the photos she was satisfied with, Xu Ning also saw several somewhat familiar figures struggling to squeeze out of the crowd and walk towards the waterway hub.
The last time I saw these people was in front of the Beaumont workshop, when they were beaten to a pulp by the young master.
It was only through Sonny that I learned these people were from the Cabrière Merchant Guild, and the one who was beaten the worst was Tuon.
Xu Ning pulled Charlotte along, "I'll take you to a crime scene for a bit of research. Once we get there, we'll jump down together."
Charlotte had no choice but to agree, letting Xu Ning put his arm around her waist and jump down from the side, landing on the second-floor Clementine Line platform.
Hearing the sound of the upper-level patrol ship departing, Xu Ning calculated that the distance was almost invisible, and once again took Charlotte and flew directly to the third level. The two of them followed the waterway of the Navia Line to chase after the patrol ship.
Fortunately, they didn't need to chase them too far. Almost as soon as the patrol boat left the city, those people jumped off the patrol boat onto the waterway.
Then, skillfully, he slid down the levee-like walls of Fontainebleau, section by section.
"They headed towards the sea. Where is that? And what crime scene is it?"
Charlotte could easily see that Xu Ning was chasing these people; after all, following others was a required skill for reporters.
"The place where Lesse is made may also be the place where girls are dissolved."
