Mage Joan

Chapter 431: Second murder scene

"Thomas, you, don't talk nonsense! It's too much to defile me without evidence!"

Martin's face flushed with rage, his lips trembling.

"If you don't want to make people gossip, at least you should be more positive about your mentor's case." Edward cooperated with Thomas to intimidate Martin and said coldly, "You can refuse to assist us, but don't blame us for not treating you as a future friend."

Martin's complexion quickly turned from red to pale.

Of course he knew who he was facing.

The three apprentices of Rolls mentor are all famous geniuses in the college.

Joan, who was born in a poor country, and not to mention, Edward and Thomas are different. One is the son of a general, and the heir to the richest man in the city. In the future, he will surely become a popular figure in Leiden’s upper class society.

If a grass-roots person like yourself offends the two rich and expensive young masters, don't expect to get mixed in the college or even Leiden.

"Okay, I'll just join you." Martin walked into the "Wind Ladder" in dismay, and Edward followed with a cold face.

"What you said just now is a bit too much!"

Rebecca couldn't help but count Thomas before entering the "Wind Ladder".

"Knowing that Martin is very timid, you just scared him like that. Isn't this bullying the honest? It's like two bullies!"

"Miss Castis, you are right to criticize. Edward and I just did a little too much, but we are also forced."

Thomas spread his hands and made a helpless excuse.

"You don't usually deal with Martin's guy. You don't understand him. That's right. This guy is very timid. It's awkward to say. Cowardly, otherwise he won't be bullied by Walter Lee for eight years. To a diploma."

"However, poor people always have hateful things. People like Martin are like rats in the gutter. They crouched into the hole when they smelled a little risk. We asked him to help us investigate the murder, even if it was only a hand-raising effort. He refused to help, he could only be hard, frightened, and easily managed."

Thomas's evaluation of Martin reminded Rebella that he had sent a love letter to her and Sister Martha at the same time. Thomas said that he was pitiful and hateful. Although he was a bit sharp, he was not unreasonable, so he sighed. It's not good to say anything.

Joanne actually understands the difficulties and frustrations of Martin, a low-level man, better than Rebecca. In exchange for being in Martin’s position, he will not cry for the death of the “old owl” who has been bullying himself for many years. Secretly rejoicing that evil has bad results.

Thomas and Edward, occasionally, will unconsciously reveal the discriminatory attitude of the elder brother of the upper society to the grass roots at the bottom.

Joan is also from the bottom of society, but he has a more "genius" halo than Martin who can cross the class barriers. In the eyes of Thomas and Edward, his social status is equal to them, and the mediocre Martin has no right to enjoy this. Preferential treatment.

Although Rebecca is also from a high society, her education and family influence are different from that of Edward and Thomas. Compared with the traditional "Miss Noble", she is closer to those enlightened and humanistic thoughts. A new generation of female intellectuals.

She may not be more sympathetic and just than Edward and Thomas, but she can treat people from different social classes with a more equal attitude.

Having said that, Joanne didn't want to be involved in the dispute between Rebecca and Edward and Thomas.

Both sides are his good friends. It is not appropriate to stand on either side and criticize the other. He simply turned his head to one side, pretending not to hear Rebecca's last words, and went straight into the "wind ladder".

Martin took out the key and opened the laboratory door.

Joan walked in first, standing in the center of the hall and looking around. Except for the eight golden snake emblems painted in yellow paint on the opposite wall, he could hardly see any unusual signs.

Xiaomiao quickly walked into the laboratory hall, first sniffed the **** smell remaining in the air, then crouched down to observe the dust and footprints on the ground.

"When did you hear about Master Li's death?" Joan asked Martin casually.

"In the afternoon on the second day of the incident, I had no classes that day, and my school brother came to inform me. Later, we came to the laboratory together. The crime scene was controlled by the police. To the tutor's body, there is a large blood stain on the back..."

Martin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and seemed to be afraid.

"Later, the police asked us to assist in the investigation and asked a lot of things before and after the incident. It also revealed that the mentor was killed in an assassination. The fatal injury came from a dagger that was punctured straight into the heart from the back. Unfortunately, the murder scene failed to find the murder weapon. "

"Dagger?" Thomas walked over. "Instructor Rawls also found multiple scars caused by the dagger. It seems that the two murders were done by the same group of people."

"Little Jack is good at using daggers, but from Martin's description, it is not like a poisonous hand under Jack." Joan frowned.

"Why isn't it Little Jack?" Edward asked puzzled.

"The height of Tutor Rawls is only five feet, but Walter Lee is almost seven feet tall. If the murderer quietly approaches him from behind and pierces the heart with a dagger, then the height of the murderer will not be shorter than Li. too much."

"However, we all know that Jack Jr. is not yet four feet tall. It is only possible to complete the above assassination by raising the dagger to the top of his head."

As Joan told, he pulled out the electro-optical blade worn on his waist, simulating the action of a short man assassinating a tall man.

This looks funny, but everyone can't laugh.

"Even if Jack Jr. managed to complete the assassination in this weird way, the wound on the back of the corpse must be tilted from bottom to top. It is impossible for the wound to be almost perpendicular to the back of the corpse as the Martin just said. Into the heart."

"This is indeed a doubt." Thomas stroked his chin and thought, "Will it be Jack?" From the image depicted on the wanted order, the guy is taller than Walter Lee."

"Although Jack is nicknamed "The Ripper", he almost never uses a murder weapon when he kills, but uses his powerful palms and sharp nails to tear the victim's body directly, extract the liver and swallow it, if it is true With his hands, Master Li’s body could not have been kept so complete.”

The analysis done by Teacher Benny basically denied Thomas' guess.

"Since both Jack and Jack are ruled out, the murderer can only be a shepherd!" Thomas came to the conclusion logically.

"'Shepherd Man' is an extremely conservative Druid. It is said that the more conservative and retro the Druid Society is, the more disgusted with artificially made metal tools and weapons. I don't know whether'Shepherd Man' is good at using it. Dagger, but I’m sure that any man-made iron will be rejected by the original sect."

Teacher Benny questioned Thomas's conclusion in a more subtle way.
