Mage Joan

Chapter 458: The missing Martin

"Now the only thing that can help Martin's seniors prove innocence is that he is the only one who can't say goodbye..."

Joan sighed, really unwilling to think deeply about why Martin did not say goodbye. The changes that happened tonight made him both physically and mentally exhausted, as if the whole world had become dark.

"What should I do next?" Rebecca asked timidly.

Her words resembled a kite with a broken thread, echoing in a dead room.

Joan stood up and said to Thomas: "I'm leaving now."

"It's not yet dawn, where are you going?"

"Back to school, go to Martin's dormitory, maybe he went back in advance."

"I will go with you!"

Thomas stood up quickly, and Edward and Rebecca also got up to follow.

Joan waved his hand: "I flew directly back to school. It is better for you to leave the caretaker Jake. After dawn, take the carriage into the city. First, give the Jake to the police and close the case of Rolls Instructor as soon as possible."

Joan thought for a while and then said: "With regard to Martin Senior, the testimony against him is only one-sided remarks of Jack Jake. It is not necessarily credible, and there is no reliable evidence that he is related to the death of Walter Lee. What happened tonight It’s best not to mention it to the police, and it’s not too late to make a conclusion after the investigation is clear."

"You can rest assured that we will keep our mouths under control and we cannot just injustice good people by guessing." Xiao Miao solemnly promised. The others nodded.

"See you tomorrow."

Joan cast a spell and became an eagle. He walked out of the chalet, flew into the air, spread his wings in the dim light, flew back to Leiden College in less than ten minutes, and quietly landed in a forest on the corner of the campus. So as not to attract attention.

When Joan landed, he returned to human form and hurried towards Martin Smith's dormitory.

Martin is not a talented student. He has not received special care from the school or his tutor. He lives in the most common student dormitories. The advantage is that the rent is very low.

There are also three fifth-grade poor students living in the same dormitory with Martin. Their days are not more than Martin. Fortunately, they are not students of Walter Lee, and they can expect to graduate successfully by the end of the year.

Joan knocked on the door and waited two minutes before a unkempt young man came out to open the door, his face impatient.

"It's not yet dawn, hurried to knock on the door to do what!

Joan can understand the other party's unhappy mood. The mage needs a quiet environment to ensure the quality of sleep. If someone is awakened during deep sleep and does not get enough rest, it may lead to the inability to get the spell slot tomorrow, and it is no wonder that people are annoyed.

"Sorry, senior, I have an urgent matter to find Mr. Martin Smith."

"Martin?" The man looked at Joan in surprise. "It's no coincidence that Martin just left half an hour ago."

Joan gave a sigh in his heart and reluctantly remained calm and asked, "Did Martin Senior say where he is going and when will he come back?"

"The guy ran back to the dormitory in the middle of the night, his face panicked as if he had lost his soul, he hurriedly packed his luggage and left. He didn't say where he was going, but it looked like he was going out, otherwise there was no need to leave The bedding is rolled up and taken away."

"That's right..." Joan was bitter in the back of his throat, and what he was most worried about still happened.

"What's the matter with Martin? Hastily ran away overnight, did he owe a loan shark outside and had to run away to hide his debts?"

"I don't know..." Joan replied bitterly, "Senior Martin...maybe there is an emergency at home."

"Ha! This unlucky ghost, the mentor died first, and something happened at home, but it's really ugly."

"I don't think he wants to graduate in his life." Another waking boy sat up from the bed and said coldly.

"He's better not to come back forever, lest bring bad luck back to this dormitory. I haven't wanted to live under the same roof with this'ten thousand-year repeater', so I have bad luck!" said the other person angrily. .

Qiao An felt a congestion in his heart for a while, and could not tell what it was like, but it was just inexplicably uncomfortable, so he closed the door silently and turned away.

...

The next morning, Thomas, Edward and Rebecca returned to the school and told Joan that Jack had been sent to the police station.

Due to the presence of Edward’s son, the case was handed over smoothly. The police case-handler adopted the clues provided by them and Jake’s confession. It is estimated that the case will be closed soon. Ms. Miranda Fisher will also resume her freedom and reputation.

Learning that Martin packed his bags and left Leiden College overnight, Thomas, Edward and Rebecca had different expressions. Perhaps they had already guessed that this would be the result in advance. It did not seem very unexpected and did not comment on it, as if Everyone reached a tacit agreement and deliberately avoided discussing the matter.

In the next three days, Joan ran to Martin’s dormitory every day to find all the students and even teachers who were said to have a good relationship with Martin. He asked about his whereabouts, but there was no news.

Joan gradually realized that people's attitude towards himself became impatient, and repeatedly asked him why he cares so much about an insignificant Martin Smith. Leiden College has more people dropping out of school every year, so why not take care of this business.

Although Joanne said that his emotional intelligence was not high, he also knew well, and he saw that he was being harassed by others, so it would be difficult to inquire about Martin's whereabouts.

As for why he is particularly concerned about Martin's whereabouts, on the one hand, it is because the murder case of Walter Lee has not been settled, but also because he has a special concern for Martin Smith.

Martin was actually not a friend of his. He had little contact during the school, but Joan couldn’t forget that he had entered the Leiden Academy bravely and ignorantly. He had nothing but a heart to pursue his dream. Martin is the first person in this school to make him feel friendly.

During his entrance exams, Martin took care of him more, helped him test his pedigree, eagerly offered professional advice, learned that his family was poor, and took the initiative to help him apply for student loans.

Although Joan did not accept Martin’s suggestion to apply for the Warlock profession, looking back to apply for a student loan was also more harmful than good, but it was all “in hindsight.” As far as the situation at the time was concerned, Martin was undoubtedly sincere. He wanted to help him so that he is still grateful.

In addition, Joanne also saw his shadow from the person of Martin Smith.

He was born in the same poverty as Martin, was also mediocre, and came to Leiden College with dreams, trying to change his destiny through hard work.

The two people started from the same starting point, but their destiny prompted them to embark on a completely different path.
