Chapter 209 Passing on and planting the stolen goods(1/2)
After Professor Lennon heard Luke's suggestion, he didn't care to ask any more questions. He left some battle mages to survey the scene of Francis' death and personally led the team to search Francis' apartment.
Then in Francis's apartment, a large amount of information related to the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden was discovered. Some of the academic records cannot be faked, which is enough to prove that Francis has been exploring the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden for some time.
Moreover, the battle mages are looking for a large amount of money, which is wealth that Francis cannot accumulate as an assistant teacher in the academy.
When Luke and Yin arrived, Professor Lennon was looking at the searched documents. The battle mages sorted and packed all Francis' things, preparing to take them away for careful analysis.
When Professor Lennon saw Luke, he handed the document in his hand to the battle mage beside him, and then asked: "How did you find out that there was something wrong with Francis?"
"I saw Francis near the Feng Sheng Auditorium. The Feng Sheng Auditorium is the entrance to the Occult Department, and Francis' major determines that the chance of him appearing there is very low. So I asked him a few questions, and he was obviously a little afraid of me.
…”
Hearing Luke's answer, Lennon felt a little unbelievable: "Based on these... you doubt Francis and follow him?"
"Professor Lunnon, I am definitely not as good as you in how to teach excellent students, but you are definitely not as good as me in how to find criminals. To our imperial agents, everything about Francis is suspicious.
He's a very bad criminal."
Professor Lennon corrected: "Chief Inspector Meteor, the current clues can only prove that Assistant Professor Francis secretly explored the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden and collected a lot of information for the study of magical botany.
These can only prove that he is suspected, but they cannot prove that he is directly related to the incident.
And how did he die?
You followed Assistant Coach Francis, so you should know the process very well."
Professor Lennon stared at Luke, waiting for an answer.
"Director Yin and I followed Assistant Francis to the wooden house in the woods and saw him meeting a man in black. What happened in the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden made him very scared. He wanted to withdraw but was refused.
Then the man in black killed him.
Everything happened too fast, and Yin and I didn’t have time to stop it.”
Yin on the side looked at Luke. Although what he said was indeed what happened last night, he obviously concealed something.
Out of trust in Yue Xing, Yin didn't say much. Her silence meant that what Yue Xing said was the truth.
It is indeed true.
The course of events should be...
Francis was the direct promoter of the incident at the Magic Botanical Garden ruins. He was hired by external forces to lure students into desperate situations, and then killed them, causing chaos within Oulu College.
Only Qingkong's unexpected involvement and Professor Lennon leading the battle mage to intercept the students in time prevented the tragedy from happening.
Now, the legendary Inspector General of Meteor comes to investigate, and Assistant Coach Francis is brutally silenced.
The logic of things is consistent and the context seems to be very clear.
Professor Lennon asked again: "Do you know who instructed Francis to do this?"
"I know, but I can't say."
"Why?"
Luke replied with a smile: "Francis is dead. I have no evidence to prove that what I saw and said is true. The situation in Raging Waves City has just eased. My accusation will not only not help your case, but will also undermine Raging Waves."
The city has introduced a new chaos."
"You mean...the person who instigated Francis is..."
"I didn't say anything." Luke stopped Professor Lennon from expressing his suspicion: "If you have any ideas, you can discuss them among yourselves. As for me... I originally wanted to take the opportunity of investigating the case to have some quiet time at Oulu College.
Within a few days, I didn’t expect that the case would be solved so quickly.
I have to go back and face those unfinished things."
Professor Lennon saluted Luke who was about to leave: "Thank you Chief Inspector, if you hadn't revealed Francis' face, he would have done many things that were detrimental to the college.
I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so I won’t send you off.”
"Say goodbye to Miss Qingkong for me, goodbye."
Luke found the car he drove with the sound, and then left Oulu College through the portal.
Light and shadow change, morning turns into night.
On the way to the Shuojin Hotel, Yin finally couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you tell Professor Lennon that Francis was not responsible for the incident at the Magic Botanical Garden ruins, and that there was someone else who was really dangerous."
"That's a very powerful guy. If we press too hard, we may never find him. I don't have much time to waste in Oulu Academy. Solving Miss Qingkong's troubles is all I have to do."
Yin asked again: "But... what should we do if he continues to do bad things?"
"What is his purpose for doing bad things? It's obvious that everything is directed at Miss Qingkong. Now that Francis has taken all the blame, the relationship between Qingkong and Oulu College has been eased, and there is no need for him to take risks and do bad things anymore.
I will tell Miss Qingkong what I know, and she will investigate it secretly at Oulu College."
Yin thought for a while: "What you said makes sense."
By convincing Yin to cover up for him, Luke can slowly pour this dirty water on the new nobles of Raging Wave City.
evidence?
Suspicion does not require evidence, and it is best to have no evidence.
After Luke and Yin left Oulu College, the college committee held an emergency meeting convened by Vice President Hervey.
The autopsy report of assistant coach Francis has been released.
He was stabbed through the heart with a sharp instrument from behind, and the technique was extremely clean and neat.
Professor Lennon also provided the clues he had collected, and a magical image was placed in the middle of the conference room.
"Because the Chief Inspector of Meteorite protected the crime scene very well, we have fully traced the incident based on the traces left at the scene. Although it is a bit blurry, we can still clearly see the process of Francis's murder."
The image gradually reveals the outline of things as it shakes.
Next to the mountain cabin at night, Francis was talking to a man in black. During this period, Francis was a little excited and had a heated argument with the man in black, and then the man in black stabbed Francis to death from behind.
Then the men in black left through the portal, and the meteoroid Heyin who followed Francis appeared. They chose to protect the crime scene and waited until the battle mage who noticed the thick smoke arrived at dawn.
After watching the magic retrospective video, there was a brief silence in the conference room.
Until Vice President Elvey said: "Professor Lennon, you are responsible for this case. Tell us your findings and opinions."
"Yes, Vice President Hervey. Although the time flow of Francis's death will be skewed, and you can't hear what he and the man in black were talking about, the events are very clear and accurate.
During our search of Francis' relics, we found a large amount of information and plant samples related to the remains of the Magical Botanical Garden, as well as a large amount of coins of unknown origin.
Francis has talked to many people... Dean Willred passed the position of dean to Professor Qingkong and expressed his dissatisfaction...
I believe that the whole incident is that Francis was bribed by external forces to trigger internal confrontation within the college."
Vice President Hervey asked: "Who is the external force that bribed Francis?"
"I don't know yet. The Meteorite Chief Inspector who heard Francis talking to the man in black knows, but he refuses to say it because there is no evidence and he is afraid of triggering new confrontation in Raging Wave City."
He didn't say it, but everyone knew who the meteorite was talking about.
In Raging Waves City, the only one who can make Meteorite Chief Inspector take such great care is the new aristocratic force headed by Grover.
The purpose of sorting out the process of this incident is obviously to target Professor Qingkong.
Because Francis heard the conversation between Dean Wilred and Qingkong, the new nobles of Raging Wave City were afraid that Oulu College would fall into the hands of the Reform Society headed by Meteor Star, so they came up with this strategy.
Taking advantage of Dean Willred's absence, he created an internal struggle within the college and squeezed out the helpless Professor Qingkong.
There is motive, there is ability, and there is Francis, a witness who is not a witness.
Although there is not enough evidence to prove it, everyone in the meeting room knows who killed Francis.
The Oulu Academy committee meeting became very depressing.
Simple rumors, or even a black eclipse that caused no harm, could not make the senior officials of Oulu College so angry. But the incident of the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden touched the bottom line of Oulu College, and they dared to attack the students of the college.
.
"First of all... I want to apologize to Professor Qingkong." Vice President Elvi stood up and bowed to Qingkong: "Jealousy blinded my eyes and made me do things that were harmful to my conscience, which almost caused an impossible situation in the college.
Save the disaster.
When Dean Willred comes back, I will resign from my position as deputy dean. Maybe becoming a magic teacher is the best thing for me. Maybe Willred thinks so too.
But now we must react to this incident and warn those who still want to bring disaster to the Academy of Oulu, and let them know that angering the Academy of Oulu will bear a price that they cannot bear!
Professor Qingkong, do you have anything to say?"
Qingkong stood up and saluted Vice President Elvi, and then said: "I want to confirm, apart from me and the Abyss Temple, is there anyone else who may have the origin of the Black Eclipse Spirit?"
Professor Lennon replied: "After I caught the first black eclipse spirit, I checked all the records related to the black eclipse spirit in the materials from a hundred years ago. At that time, the college destroyed all the black eclipse spirits caught.
But because the losses of Oulu College were too serious at that time, Raging Waves City sent many personnel to participate in the rescue. If there were any remaining black eclipse spirits that escaped at that time, they must be in the hands of someone in Raging Waves City, but they cannot be confirmed and tracked."
Even the murder weapon in the crime has been found, and the new nobles of Raging Waves City may not be able to clear away this crime even if they jump into the Lyme River.
Qingkong said: "Since the establishment of Oulu College, it has never interfered with the political changes in Raging Wave City. Although I have a close relationship with Mrs. Mihir, I have not used Oulu College to help the Reform Society.
Some people want to kill people in Oulu College just because of a message, causing internal disputes within the college. They really went too far.
Now we all know who the main culprit of this incident is, but unfortunately there is no evidence to bring him to justice. However, Vice President Hervey is right, we must let them know that there is a price to pay for angering the Oulu Academy. Only
Only at an unbearable price can they cancel their subsequent plans to harm Oulu College.
