Chapter 246
Fontaine, Opicolai Opera House.
The water goddess Funina stood up from her exclusive high seat.
"Ahem... Don't let a person's appearance affect your judgment. This is the most important thing. Feelings will affect reason."
Funina's sudden words, although not very relevant to this case, cannot be said to be completely unrelated.
Because this sentence comes from the detective novel recently serialized in Fontaine -
"The Detective Cases of Holmes".
And the criminal in this case is the imitator of this novel.
Although Violet was speechless, he could not do anything to Funina. This sentence was indeed related.
Because the criminal looked honest on the outside, he almost deceived the special patrol team.
Fortunately, Captain Chavore was very observant and arrested him.
After the performance, Funina was in a good mood and asked Violet to quickly pronounce the verdict and then close the case.
After all, today is an important day for serialization, and she still has to go back to read the newspaper after she is done.
Meanwhile, the third floor of the Steambird Newspaper Office was in a mess.
Editor-in-chief Ou Fu was sitting at her desk, and she was having a headache.
Is there anything wrong with Teacher Xianyu? Why did he submit such a manuscript?
Can it be published?
The agreed manuscript fee was 50-50, and he couldn't have been unaware of how much the "Holmes Detective Collection" had received in Fontaine.
Now he handed in such a thing...
'Dong Dong Dong——'
"Come in."
Ou Fu looked up, and the person who came was Charlotte.
Charlotte said, "What's wrong, editor-in-chief? It seems that everyone on the third floor is quite noisy. Is there any big news in the evening paper?"
"You can read it yourself." Ou Fu pushed the manuscript on the table to Charlotte.
Charlotte took it and saw that it was the Holmes manuscript to be published in the evening.
After reading the title, her expression changed slightly, "The last case?"
This title is a bit of a tease.
However, Teacher Xianyu is not a headline party.
Is this really the finale?
It shouldn't be. According to the popularity of Holmes, Xianyu's royalties have exceeded all the authors of Steambird and even Fontaine.
Even the subscription of Steambird News has skyrocketed several times because of him.
There is no reason to have a sudden ending.
Could it be that he can't continue to write and has run out of ideas?
Charlotte read this last case with doubts.
She finally understood why her colleagues in the Evening News and Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu were so anxious.
This is not only Holmes' last case.
In the final ending, the detective and the villain professor both jumped off the cliff and went to the bottomless abyss together.
If such content is sent out, I'm afraid someone will block the door of Steambird Newspaper tonight and ask for Xianyu's address.
The key is that they don't know who Teacher Xianyu is or what he looks like.
The only guess is that he lives in Liyue now.
Because Xianyu's personal agent is a cheerful Liyue girl named Yanfei.
Claiming to be a legal consultant, she was responsible for discussing the business related to "The Detective Collection of Holmes" with the Steambird Newspaper.
Charlotte walked to Ou Fu.
"Editor-in-chief, I remember that Teacher Xianyu seemed to have a condition that no matter what he submitted, as long as it did not violate the customs and laws of Fontaine, it must be published."
"That's why I'm so worried..."
Ou Fu crossed her hands and squeezed her eyebrows.
"Let's not talk about this for now. What do you want to see me for?"
Ou Fu decided to change her mood. Anyway, she would probably try her best in the end.
Charlotte talked about the purpose of her visit to the editor-in-chief.
Some time ago, a businessman collected a batch of tea in Chenyu Valley.
But there seemed to be something wrong with that batch of tea, which involved the industry she had been investigating.
"That's it, so I want to dig deeper. If necessary, I will go to Chenyu Valley to take a look."
Ou Fu knew Charlotte's temper.
It was impossible not to let her go.
She agreed with Charlotte's proposal and asked her to be careful.
Charlotte patted her 'Mr. Wen Henting', "Don't worry, I will be careful."
——————
That night, Ms. Funina listened to the report on monitoring water quality and returned to Momang Palace.
When she walked into the room, the maid had already placed the small cakes of only 16 pieces a day with black tea on the table according to her instructions.
Of course, there was also the Steam Bird Evening News and the writing column that she was most looking forward to.
Funina changed her usual exaggerated style, sat down at the table very ladylike, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She survived another day,,,
Only in this small room can she rest for a while and be her true self.
Instead of Funina, the water god on the throne.
"Huh, I don't know what bizarre case will happen tonight. I'm really looking forward to it..."
...The next day, the business of Cafe Luze was even more popular than usual.
Claurinde didn't understand why Lady Funina, who loved sweets, had to order coffee today.
And the people around seemed to have dark circles under their eyes. Did they not sleep well last night?
She listened carefully and seemed to be talking about Holmes.
Claurinde was also watching it. She thought it was quite interesting.
But she was busy last night and didn't have time to watch it.
She thought she would hear some discussions about the case, but she didn't expect that most of the content was about the author.
It seems that someone is offering a reward for Teacher Xianyu's address? And they also want to send a knife?
This is so weird. How can it be raised to the author?
However, she doesn't have time to care about this now.
She has to take this cup of coffee to find Funina and then go to the Opikle Opera House with her.
She still has a duel to complete today.
Above where Clorinde couldn't see, the entrance of Steambird Newspaper Office was already crowded...
Inazuma Yaedo said I understand, I understand too much.
At this time, the entrance of Yaedo was also surrounded by angry readers.
They asked Yaedo to provide Xianyu's home address.
They wanted to send the author some Inazuma specialty violets.
The leader, no.
The leader was the leader of the Aradaki faction, Aradaki Ichito...
Yae Shenzi didn't expect that this little guy and Paimon had just opened the last layer of Ying's heart and lifted the lockdown order, and the culture of the neighboring country began to invade.
However, she had guessed who was behind it.
"Linyuan Xianyu, "My 26-year-old Female Gu Fairy", why didn't I see before that you have the same hobby as me?"
Shenzi said that because the content of this volume of the novel deliberately pushed all the clues to the climax.
It will explode in the next second.
However, the plot came to an abrupt end after Bai Ningbing said, "Fang Yuan, I'm pregnant!"
According to the speed of publication, readers may have to wait for a month to read the follow-up content.
Their current state can be imagined...
However, for the Son of God, "This is so much fun, right, Mu Yang."
"Do you want to go see him? Or write a book to respond? This number one on the sales list is a challenge to this palace manager."
Fortunately, the Son of God did not choose to go to Liyue in the end.
Because even if she went, she would not be able to see Mu Yang.
No matter how powerful the readers are, they can't find him in Liyue.
Mu Yang has followed the merchant ship of trading partner Dolly and arrived at the port of Omos.
"It's so beautiful Xumi! Hmm? Isn't this Leila? Let's take a look at the Jingshan Palace in the distance, family members."
At this time, Leila, who was relaxing in the port of Omos, had no idea what kind of adventure she would have next.
