Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 211 Passing on and planting

  After hearing Luke's suggestion, Professor Lennon didn't bother to ask any more questions. He left some battle mages to investigate the scene of Francis' death, and led a team to search Francis' apartment himself.

   Then in Francis' apartment, a large amount of information related to the remains of the Magic Plant Museum was found. Some of these academic records cannot be falsified, so it is enough to prove that Francis has been exploring the ruins of the magical plant house for some time.

   Moreover, the battle mages also found a lot of money, which was wealth that Francis could not accumulate as an assistant teacher at the academy.

  When Luke and Yin arrived, Professor Lennon was looking at the searched documents. The battle mages sorted and packed all of Francis' belongings, ready to take them away for careful analysis.

  Professor Lennon saw Luke, handed the document in his hand to the battle mage beside him, and asked, "How did you find out that Francis has a problem?"

"I met Francis near the Wind Sound Auditorium. The Wind Sound Auditorium is the entrance to the Department of Occult Arts, and Francis's major determines that the chance of him appearing in that place 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 incredulous: "That's all you have to do to suspect Francis and follow him?"

  "Professor Lennon, how to teach excellent students, I am definitely not as good as you, but how to find criminals, you are definitely not as professional as me. For us imperial agents, Francis is suspicious everywhere.

  He's a bad criminal. "

  Professor Lennon corrected: "Chief Inspector Meteor, the current clues can only prove that Assistant Professor Francis secretly explored the ruins of the Magic Botanical Museum and collected a lot of information for the study of magical botany.

  These can only prove that he is suspected, but not that he has a direct relationship with the incident.

   And how did he die?

  You followed Assistant Francis, so you should be very clear about the process. "

  Professor Lennon stared at Luke, waiting for an answer.

   "Director Yin and I followed the teaching assistant Francis to the forest cabin, and saw him meeting a man in black. What happened in the ruins of the magic plant hall made him very scared. He wanted to quit but was rejected.

   Then the man in black killed him.

  Everything happened so fast that Heyin 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 Meteor, Yin didn't say much. Her silence meant that what Meteor said was true.

  It is indeed true.

   event procedure should be...

  Francis is the direct promoter of the event of the remains of the Magic Plant Museum. Hired by an outside force, he lures the students to a desperate situation and then kills them, causing chaos within Oulu Academy.

   It was only Qingkong's accidental participation, coupled with Professor Lunnon and his battle mage intercepting the students in time, that prevented the tragedy from happening.

  Now, the legendary Chief Inspector of Meteor came to investigate, so Francis' assistant teacher was killed.

  The logic of the matter is self-consistent, and the context seems to be very clear.

  Professor Lennon asked again: "Do you know who ordered Francis to do this?"

   "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 City has just eased. Not only will my accusation not help your case, but it will make Raging The city has ushered in a new chaos."

   "You mean... the person who ordered Francis was..."

"I didn't say anything." Luke prevented Professor Lennon from expressing his conjecture: "Do you have any ideas that you can discuss among you. As for me... I originally wanted to use the opportunity of investigating the case to quietly spend a few days at Oulu College. God, I didn't expect the case to 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 definitely have done many things that are not good for the academy.

  I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so I won't send you off. "

   "Say goodbye to Miss Clear Sky for me, goodbye."

  Luke took Yin to find the car he drove, and then left Oulu Academy through the portal.

   Light and shadow change, morning turns into night.

   On the way to the Shuojin Hotel, Yin finally couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you tell Professor Lennon that the incident at the ruins of the Magic Plant Museum was not done by Francis, and the real dangerous person is someone else."

   "That's a very powerful guy. If we press too hard, we may never find him. I don't have much time to waste at Oulu Academy. Solving troubles for Miss Weatherlight is all I have to do."

  Yin asked again: "But... what if he continues to do bad things?"

   "What is his purpose for doing bad things? Obviously, everything is aimed at Miss Clear Sky. Now that Francis bears all the responsibilities, the relationship between Clear Sky and Oulu Academy has been eased, and there is no need for him to take risks to do bad things.

  I will tell Miss Clear Sky what I know, and she will be able to investigate secretly at Oulu Academy. "

  Yin thought for a while: "What you said makes sense."

  Persuading Yin to cover up for him, Luke can slowly pour this basin of dirty water on the new nobles of Raging City.

evidence?

  Suspicion needs no evidence, and preferably no evidence.

  After Luke and Yin left Oulu College, the college committee held an emergency meeting under the convening of Vice President Elway.

  The autopsy report of Assistant Professor Francis has come out.

  The heart was pierced from behind with a sharp weapon, and the technique was extremely neat.

  Professor Lennon also provided the clues he collected, a magic image was thrown in the middle of the conference room.

   "Because Chief Inspector Meteor protected the crime scene very well, we traced back the events based on the traces left at the scene. Although it is a bit blurry, we can still see the process of Francis being killed."

  The image gradually reveals the outline of things in the shaking.

  Beside the mountain house at night, Francis was talking with a man in black. During this period, Francis was a little agitated and had a heated argument with the man in black, and then the man in black stabbed Francis to death from behind.

  Then the man in black left through the portal, and Meteor Harmony, who followed Francis, appeared. They chose to protect the scene of the crime and waited until dawn to find the smoky battle mage arriving.

  After watching the magic retrospective video, there was a brief silence in the conference room.

  Until Deputy Dean Elway said: "Professor Lennon, you are in charge of this case. Tell me about your findings and opinions."

   "Yes, Vice President Elway. Although the time flow of Francis' death process will be skewed, and he can't hear what he talked with the man in black, the incident is very clear and accurate.

   During our search of Francis's relics, we found a large amount of materials and plant samples related to the remains of the Magic Plant Museum, as well as a large amount of coins of unknown origin.

  Combined with Francis and talking with many people... Dean Will Reed passed the position of dean to Professor Qingkong, and expressed his dissatisfaction...

  I think the whole incident is that Francis was bought by external forces to cause internal confrontation in the academy. "

  Deputy President Elway asked: "Who is the foreign force that bought Francis?"

   "I don't know yet. Chief Inspector Meteor, who heard Francis talking to the man in black, knows, but he refuses to say, because there is no evidence to fear a new confrontation in Raging City."

   Didn't say, but everyone knows who Meteor is talking about.

  In Raging City, only the new noble forces headed by Grover can make Chief Inspector Meteor so considerate.

   The process of sorting out this incident was obviously aimed at Professor Qingkong.

  Because Francis heard Dean Willred's conversation with Clear Sky, the new nobles in Raging City were afraid that Oulu Academy would fall into the hands of the Reform Society headed by Meteor, so they came up with this strategy.

   Taking advantage of Dean Will Reed's absence, he created internal struggles in the college and pushed out the helpless Professor Qingkong.

  Has motivation, ability, and Francis, who is not a witness.

  Although there is not enough evidence to prove it, everyone in the conference room knows who killed Francis.

  The Oulu Academy Council meeting became very depressing.

  Pure rumors, or even a harmless black eclipse spirit, cannot make these high-level officials of Oulu Academy so angry. But the incident of the ruins of the Magic Botanical Museum touched the bottom line of the Oulu Academy, and they dared to do something to the students of the academy.

"First of all...I want to apologize to Professor Qingkong." Vice President Elway stood up and bowed to Qingkong: "Jealousy blinded my eyes and made me do things that hurt my conscience, which almost caused an impossible rescue in the college. disaster.

  When Dean Willred comes back, I will resign as the vice-principal. Perhaps being a magic teacher is the most suitable for me, and Willred probably thinks so.

   But now we must respond to this incident, and warn those who still want to send disaster to Oulu Academy, let them know that angering Oulu Academy will pay a price they cannot afford!

  Professor Qingkong, do you have anything to say? "

  Qing Kong stood up and saluted Vice President Elway, and then said: "I want to confirm, besides me and the Abyss Temple, is there anyone else who might have the source of the Black Corrosion Spirit?"

  Professor Lennon replied: "After the first black eclipse was caught, I checked all the records related to the black eclipse in the materials from a hundred years ago. At that time, the college destroyed all the captured black eclipse.

  However, due to the serious loss of Oulu Academy at that time, Raging Waves City sent many people to participate in the rescue. If any remaining black eclipse spirits flowed out 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 of the crime has been found, the new nobles of Raging Wave City may not be able to clear up this crime even if they jumped into the Lyme River.

  Qing Kong said: "Since the establishment of Oulu Academy, it has never interfered with the political changes in Raging Waves City. Although I have a close relationship with Mrs. Mihir, I have not used Oulu Academy to help the Reform Society.

  Some people wanted to kill people in the Oulu Academy because of a rumor, which caused disputes within the academy. It was really, really excessive.

   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 Elway is right, we must let them know that there is a price to pay for angering the Oulu Academy, and only an unbearable price can make them cancel the subsequent plan to endanger the Oulu Academy.

  We fight back! "

   Vice President Elway expressed his attitude.

  And he also stated that he would resign from the position of vice president, which means that he will no longer compete for the position of future president. At this time, the incident exposed his management shortcomings, which shows that Willred still has a level of judging people.

  Then Professor Qingkong, whom Will Reid is optimistic about, will undoubtedly become a strong contender for the future position of dean of Oulu College.

  Deputy Dean Elway and Professor Qingkong both said they wanted to fight back. In this situation where everyone was angry, the Oulu College Committee unanimously passed the counterattack agenda.

   Just how to fight back?

   There is no conclusive evidence to prove that the new nobles of Raging City attacked Oulu Academy, and the principle of Oulu Academy's non-interference in Raging City's government affairs cannot be shaken.

  Clear sky proposal: Professor Lennon led the Oulu battle mages to continue to investigate Francis. Although the other party killed Francis to silence him, it should have been a temporary intention. There must be many clues that have not been destroyed. As long as you check carefully, you will definitely find conclusive evidence of Francis colluding with external forces.

   Then, using the black eclipse spirit as a clue, the government affairs department of Raging Waves City cooperated in the investigation of the aftermath and rescue process of the Oulu College disaster a hundred years ago. Find out if there is any black eclipse hidden by someone, and then take it away from Oulu Academy.

   The next step is to suspend some scientific research cooperation projects with the Urban Alchemists Association.

  "The Urban Alchemists Association suffered a very large loss in the financial fraud crisis, the city merchants broke away from the control of the Urban Alchemists Association, and the private research institutions under the Urban Alchemists Association also had relatively large autonomy.

  This time we terminated some cooperation with scientific research institutions directly under the Government Affairs Department, and strengthened the strength and investment of private research institutions. Now the weak and loose Urban Alchemists Association has no power to stop our attack. It only takes a while, and the technology research and development system that Raging Waves City depends on can be grasped into the hands of the academy.

  This is the deadliest thing for our opponents, and we have not interfered with the changes in the political situation in Rough City..."

  After Qingkong finished his revenge plan, the atmosphere of the meeting of the Oulu Academy Committee immediately became more cheerful.

  The Oulu mages present here all know what the lifeblood of the new nobles in Raging City is the new technology that is full of vitality and continuous innovation. The continuous innovation of technology has brought wealth, and wealth has made Raging Waves City so prosperous.

  Since we have no evidence to accuse the new nobles of Raging City of attacking Oulu Academy, there is no way to punish the sinners with imperial law, but we can take revenge through our own methods.

  The research project of Raging City City Alchemist Association is very dependent on Oulu Academy. As long as Oulu Academy interrupts the supply of personnel and technology, it can paralyze the entire Alchemist Association in the city!
