[FONTAINE ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS]
Our next destination is Chef Justice's Office at Palais Mermonia. Melusine stopped us, but after a short explanation, she let us proceed. We stepped into the office. Navia explained the purpose of this visit. Nuevillete started to look for the information that we need, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
In the end, Navia exposed the cold-blooded character of Nuevillete, who, just like her, felt there is something fishy in her father's case, but he still let the Duel happen. She started to cry as she was talking.
We went outside, and it started raining. Navia reminded us that on the day of her father's duel, it was raining as well. The Traveler noticed a correlation with the rain. Personally, I have a feeling that rain might be polluted by the water from the Primordial Sea and can one day dissolve everybody.
Alright, I thought about something different, but that lead is also possible. What if there is a crime organization that commits a crime, but the one that did that gets dissolved? It's like this is the last act of those who commit the crime.
Next, we headed to the Possion - HQ of Spina de Rosula.
Navia then told us about Sinthe, a drink made from the water from the Primordial Sea. Let's keep in mind the effects of using such a mixture: difficulty focusing, loss of control over one's emotions, hallucinations... withdrawal symptoms are: anxiety, paranoia, lack of energy. Those are important to note. We will find people with them for sure. I have a feeling we could have already met them, but I haven't noticed.
Navia's father wanted to stop the Sinthe distribution; he befriended one of the dealers - Jacques, to gain information. At the banquet where he wanted to talk with him, there were 2 shots. They found Callas with the gun in his hand and dead Jacques. The first thing that comes to mind is that he killed him, but he has no motive. Why would he kill the only man that could give him inside information? I must have been Jacques' colleagues from the mafia; they just didn't want to expose their secrets.
Important clue: pieces of clothing left at the scene. They do really dissolve after all.
Melus told us the next important clue: at the banquet, Callas already knew about the connection between Sinthe and the cases of disappearance and that Navia was selected as the next target to disappear.
There was a lot of talk from Melus as he knows her father a little better. He shared with us a key piece of information - Sinthe production center - enemy's HQ.
Melus also shared with us the list of 3 main suspects: Florent, Marcel, Thierry. They were all well-trusted. So there is a common thing to all enemies - they are gaining trust. Now - what if Melus IS EVIL!? Or maybe even the boss of that organization?
Anyway, we received the next case record to gather proof and evidence.
"Water from the Primordial Sea" (evidence obtained at the beginning) - this water can turn Fontanians into water.
Callas' Case Records (clue obtained at the beginning) - this states that 3 years ago on the rainy night there were two gunshots at the banquet. At the scene there was Callas with the gun and dead Jacques. Those pieces of evidence could only point at Callas.
Testimony From Jacques' Family (clue obtained after the talk with Jacques' Family) - they believe that Jacques was forced to kill Callas, so Callas killed Jacques as an act of self-defense.
I'm now having a feeling that dissolving-related murders only occur when it's raining. It was raining 2 or 3 times already; there might have happened something at that time.
Information Regarding Florent (clue obtained after the talk with Florent) - he stated that Callas didn't have his gun with him at that time. The gun he has belonged to someone else.
We headed to the Court to talk with Thierry.
Information Regarding Thierry (clue obtained after the talk with Thierry) - he told us that only someone rich and powerful could afford that much amount of Gardemeks with no serial number.
We went to look for Marcel.
Information Regarding Marcel (clue obtained after the talk with Marcel) - we know from him that his organization - Confrerie of Cabriere was responsible for the organization of that banquet.
We went to summarize and analyze the collected evidence. We thought that Jacques might have fired first, but that would make no sense. Even if he was forced to, that would not guarantee the safety of his family. Also, Navia wondered who could have controlled those Gardemeks. I marked Thierry, and... it is suitable but unlikely. Next was Florent, but it is unlikely because he's not that rich. Marcel is not suitable too; maybe he's rich, but he has not enough time to do so.
After a short thinking, I have a feeling it's Marcel. He was rich and... he wants to protect Navia. Maybe those Gardemeks were dispatched to protect her?
Anyway, I deduced it on the first try :D.
Thierry interrupted us and informed us that Tartaglia is on trial. We decided to split up; Navia went to the Opera, and we went to investigate a suspicious place.
Suspect Analysis (obtained after the talk with Navia) - we came to the conclusion that Marcel was the only one capable of possessing that large amount of Gardemeks and running the Sinthe business at the same time, leaving no traces.
