“How does it feel to be on stage?” she asked casually.

"Fortunately."

Qianzhi glanced at her, a little surprised: "'Not bad'... It seems that you are not very keen on acting. Are you tired of it after the impulse?"

“I just don’t feel anything.”

The reason why he wanted to become a musical actor was simply because he would be able to blend into the upper-class circles and learn more about treasures if he became popular.

In other words - being an actor is a job, being a thief is life.

Since it is a job, she will do it seriously and perfectly, that's all.

Of course, she did like it when everyone's eyes were on her. In the past, she never thought she had this kind of personality.

Maybe he awakened something when he became a Phantom Thief. Unfortunately, his personality mask was not awakened.

Qianzhi retracted her gaze and responded calmly: "That's it."

"How is the troupe?" she asked again.

“Just ordinary.”

"Doesn't the troupe have a celebration party? You are a hero who saved the day anyway."

"Yes, there was...but it ended on bad terms."

On the night of the performance, everyone in the troupe gathered at a famous restaurant to celebrate.

At first the atmosphere was quite lively, but since the playwright of the troupe, Miss Judith, said:

"Has everybody just forgotten Mary?"

Then it became too stiff.

Luna had no intention of easing the atmosphere. She didn't care about the disputes within the troupe. In the end, the party ended in a bad mood, and only Luna, who had eaten a satisfied meal, returned home in a happy mood.

After listening to this, Qianzhi nodded slightly.

“The most important thing is to have enough food.”

"Right? Although I can understand that person's thoughts." Luna stretched.

Serial disappearance of young girls.

This is a case that is still happening today. The murderer is unknown, the motive is unknown, the means are unknown, and the whereabouts are unknown, but these girls have been missing for a long time and are probably dead.

If former star Mary Bestina is also one of them...

Luna was thoughtful: "Qizhi, what do you think is the truth behind the series of missing girls?"

"After being an actor for this time, do you want to be a detective? If you ask me, I can only answer that I don't know."

Excellent answer: I don’t know.

"Just asking for your guess."

Qianzhi muttered "Guess?", then held her cheek and thought for a while.

"Human experimentation."

"Kidneys?" Luna asked.

Qianzhi said nonchalantly: "Trafficking is often related to these things, isn't it?"

"Maybe he wants to hear her sing."

"That's still a disgusting perversion."

Chizhi pulled out a drawer and handed a piece of paper to Luna.

Luna leaned forward, took it and looked at it. It showed the address of a certain family.

"This is?"

Qianzhi didn't even turn her head and said calmly: "I felt that you would like to be a detective for once, so I took note of the address of the former leading actor."

"Do I look like I care that much?" Luna touched her face.

"Normally. It's just that you've been like this since I met you...Why don't you quit and join the security team? You should be able to shine there."

The Phantom Thief joins the security team?

Isn't that the same as a weirdo being a magical girl and Lao Da being the referee of the resurrection match?

And...quite interesting?

But after thinking about it, Luna gave up the idea. Joining the security team means she might run into the captain of the special patrol team, and if she hangs out with Xia Vole for too long, she might be found to have problems.

"No, I'm not suitable."

Luna put the note into her pocket and smiled, "Thank you, though, for keeping an eye out for this kind of thing for me."

Qianzhi's expression remained unchanged and her tone was still indifferent.

"If you knew, let me customize your costumes for the next performance. This is really unbearable to watch."

The next second, a confident smile appeared on her face: "But leave it to me, I will make your performance even more beautiful and moving."

"Okay, but as for the cost of customization..."

"You can pay on credit."

Luna pointed to her cheek and said, "Can I use a kiss from a popular actor instead?"

Chizhi stopped writing and looked at Luna expressionlessly.

"What do you think?"

"I think it's okay."

"If you dare to do that I'll throw you in front of the Steambird Newspaper."

It doesn't seem like a loss? ——But if she said that, Chizhi would definitely throw her out the door, so Luna remained silent and turned to look at the address on the note.

"Any inconspicuous clothing?"

Qianzhi chuckled: "Hehe, this kind of clothes does not exist in Qianzhi's house. If you want to disguise yourself, use this."

Not long after, in front of Mary Bestina's house.

Luna took out a hand mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

The beret and windbreaker look like a classic detective look that would appear in a story.

Luna sighed, she was actually asked to dress as a detective as a thief.

She put on her sunglasses and muttered, "But it does make me harder to recognize now."

So let's start the investigation.

Missing girls case...Luna repeated the name again and looked around. No one was there. Good. She took out the lock picking tool and unlocked the door with ease.

Twist the doorknob and prepare to push the door.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

Turning around, the person who appeared in front of him was Navia, whom he had met once before.

Why is she here?

16: Oh, my dear Miss Watson

Navia looked at the girl in front of her, who was wearing a beret, windbreaker, and sunglasses.

She looked at the room again and confirmed with Silver and Myles beside her: "Is this the right place?"

"Yes."

Navia nodded slightly.

A woman dressed like this appeared at the door of the missing person's house and was about to go in... This scene made her guess flash through her mind.

Navia's eyes lit up: "I know! You are a detective, right!"

Luna: “Hmm?”

She didn't say anything, so how could she come up with the answer on her own?

Navia saw that she didn't respond and couldn't help wondering: "Isn't it?"

Miles smiled and said, "Miss, you are jumping to conclusions too quickly. Maybe it is the missing Miss Mary."

Silver pushed up his sunglasses: "Let me use my reasoning here - I guess she is an intruder!"

bingo.

But there is no reward for guessing correctly.

"Is that so?" asked Navia.

"It depends on how you define invasion. I just want to know the truth about the disappearance." Luna responded with an elusive smile.

She didn't lie, she just didn't tell the whole story.

Navia smiled brightly: "That's a detective, you see, I told you that no one would sit idly by and watch this kind of thing!"

Her tone was brisk and her steps were quick, and she grabbed Luna's hand without saying a word.

Luna was shocked. She didn't expect Navia to hold her hand immediately. She couldn't help but become extremely alert.

"What a coincidence! We are here to find the truth too! What's your name?"

Luna wanted to pull her hand back, and said with a smile: "Lulu."

"Lulu, yeah, I remember it, what a lovely name. I'm the boss of the famous Thorn Rose Club, just call me Navia!"

Navia didn't seem to have any association with the Phantom Thief White Cat.

Blonde hair is pretty common after all.

"Can you please let go of my hand?"

She's so strong! It's no joke if she catches me.

Navia came back to her senses and quickly withdrew her hands: "Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm just a little excited to see like-minded people."

"Like-minded?"

Luna touched her hand, which still had a lingering warmth and fragrance that did not belong to her.

She had heard that Navia was a passionate girl, and now she had truly experienced it herself.

Navia responded seriously: "Well, because of my father's matter...I want to know the truth about the serial disappearance of young girls."

She looked around the house.

"Is this the home of the suspected victim of the serial disappearance of young girls? Although the security team has already come to investigate, I still want to investigate it myself. Maybe I can find some different clues."

Navia's father, whose name is Cares Kasapa.

Also known as "Kares the Unjust".

One day three years ago, Cares was accused of killing his friend.

All the evidence pointed to him as the murderer, but he refused a trial and challenged a duel.

In Fontaine, if you won a duel, you would be exempt from trial.

On the contrary, if you lose, the trial will continue according to the normal process.

Generally speaking, there is a possibility of death in a duel. After all, swords have no eyes and the user is more likely to fail, so not many people would choose to gamble their lives.

But Carres chose to gamble and eventually died under the sword of the duel agent Clorinde.

Luna folded her hands and recalled: "There are indeed many suspicious points in your father's case."

"Right! I think so too. There must be some contradiction here!" Navia took a step closer excitedly.

Luna took a step back and continued, "——But this case has already been concluded. If there is no evidence that can overturn everything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even hold a retrial."
