Chapter 722 The Expected Result
Kong looked over with a puzzled expression.
“Brother Xu, I don’t think she has any reason to lie to us, after all, she’s in such a predicament.”
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "I'm not saying she's completely deceiving us, it's just that she seems unwilling to tell us a lot of the information we need."
"For example, her name, the location where she dissolved, how she was dissolved, and how can we find Vasher, the witness?"
"Any of these pieces of information could provide us with very valuable clues. If she were also a victim in the series of missing girls, she should at least be very concerned about stopping the killer from continuing to commit crimes. But I feel that she doesn't seem to have that kind of emotion or obsession."
Kong paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps she lost many fragments of her memory during the process of being dissolved?"
Xu Ning picked up Aji and placed him high on the platform of Lu Jingquan, taking a picture of him with the grand opera house as a backdrop.
After giving the photo to Aji for his collection, Xu Ning said to the air, "It's not impossible, but in any case, Vasher must be a witness at some melting site. Finding information about this person might take the case a big step forward..."
At this point, Xu Ning paused for a moment, then smiled and said to the sky, "Let's split up. I'll go to the Steambird newspaper and ask a reporter for some things. You go to our Supreme Judge and ask him to help find this Vashe, and also have him investigate the source of the attack on our security forces."
Kong immediately took Paimon to find the teleportation anchor point.
Xu Ning wasn't in such a hurry. He chatted with Shen He for a few minutes, then called back Yinglangwan, who was marking the area nearby. After Qingyi cleaned up the combat units and brought them back to Chenyin Cave, the guard team sent by Momang Palace arrived.
Xu Ning then slowly walked towards Mo Jie Station.
Xu Ning never expected that when she told the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, Ms. Ou Fu, that she had come here to find Charlotte, her first reaction would be to ask her if Charlotte had gotten into trouble again.
"After all, you are a big shot in Liyue, so it's understandable that Charlotte is curious about you. If her report inadvertently touches on your privacy or other hobbies, I will definitely delete it during the review process..."
What are privacy and certain hobbies?
Xu Ning sensed that the editor-in-chief harbored some serious prejudice and misunderstanding towards him, and was just thinking of getting to know him better when Charlotte rushed in to submit her manuscript.
Xu Ning quickly stopped her and led her out of the newspaper office to a corner.
"Is the phonograph still working well?"
Charlotte's face was filled with barely concealed excitement. "It couldn't be stronger! I'm not just returning with a full load today, I'm returning with an extremely heavy burden. I have countless scoops on hand, and they're all backed by solid evidence... Do you know what kind of questions I ask that yield the most results?"
"'Ahem, Your Excellency, what do you think I came to see you about today?' You can imagine that when I asked that question, Mr. Wen Hengting's camera couldn't capture all the bad things that had happened, and I even had to choose which question to ask next..."
Looking at the excited Charlotte, Xu Ning knew very well that it was only because she asked that this effect occurred.
After all, in Fontainebleau, Charlotte never questioned anyone's identity or avoided powerful figures when reporting news that exposed the dark side of things. This made people unconsciously start to reflect on the possibility that their bad deeds might be exposed when they saw Charlotte.
If I were to say that myself, most people would probably just be asking myself three questions.
"It's alright, we agreed there are still two days left, you can gather as much information as you like."
Upon hearing the two-day deadline, Charlotte's excitement immediately waned by half. "Mr. Xu Ning, there really is no other way..."
"some."
Xu Ning slowly raised the gourd and took a sip.
Charlotte could hardly believe her ears. Overjoyed, she grabbed Xu Ning's arm and shook him vigorously.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me..."
Xu Ning cried out, "Hey, hey! Don't shake it! If you spill the wine, it'll kill you!"
Charlotte knew how potent Xu Ning's wine was, so she stuck out her tongue and quickly let go of his hand.
Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and held up a hand.
"Five days. Besides the next two days, I can give you another five days. Don't get too excited yet, there are conditions..."
"First, someone will give you a list tomorrow morning. You need to interview them one by one within two days. Most of them are powerful and influential people in Fontainebleau, and each of them has a lot of big news to tell."
"Second, after the interviews are completed, do not publish them in the newspaper for the time being. Focus on publishing them in the Steambird newspaper on the morning of the third day."
"Third, on the third day I will take back the lens to do some things, and on the fourth day I will return it to you, and then... you can play for another five days."
Charlotte frowned after hearing all the requests.
“As long as the people on the list have indeed done things that have wronged the people of Fontainebleau, I am not afraid to expose their despicable acts to the newspapers, and I believe that Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu will support me.”
"But why do you always concentrate on posting on the third day? You know, besides the possibility of not having enough space, exposing too many problems at once, although it will quickly escalate and attract public attention and discussion in the short term, once the hype dies down in a few days, these topics are very likely to be wasted..."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "I can guarantee you that the topic's popularity will not decrease, and it might even intensify."
Charlotte thought about it for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of five days and readily agreed.
Sure enough, the next morning, Charlotte received an envelope containing only a thin piece of paper covered with names.
And indeed, as Xu Ning said, most of the people on this list are powerful and influential figures in Fontainebleau, and the remaining few, even if they are not powerful or influential, must hold important positions in some department.
The young girl immediately became like a busy little bee, and began to track and report on her target throughout the city.
The other side also brought the investigation results.
“We investigated from both the Mo Mang Palace and the Thorn Rose Society, but we couldn’t find any record of Vashe. It’s as if he never existed in Fontaine, or that his existence was deliberately erased.”
"And those security agencies that attacked us were all without any records or numbers, which means they were not officially authorized and were very likely purchased and kept by some private elite."
Xu Ning wasn't particularly surprised by this result.
Others have been operating in Fontainebleau for at least twenty years. If they could be exposed by us in a day or two, they would have been eliminated by the Court of Justice long ago.
"So, the key to getting things done quickly and decisively is having enough courage!"
