The matter of Godot House is over, and Donald has found time to tell Ciris that the murderer has been solved by him, and as for the latter's understanding of the word "solution", Donald can't care, and he can't bother to explain it to Ciris now.

He has more important things to do.

At the entrance of Mafando University, Donald meets Sherlock.

"I asked the other student next to me and found out that the lady who was a little hostile to men was one of the few female professors at the current Marfanado University, Camilla Jackson, who happened to have her book club today, and in fact did not restrict men from entering, but the topics she talked about were somewhat ...... Not so friendly to men, most of the girls who participated in the reading club agreed with her, and there were often embarrassing times when men participated, and over time there were rumors that men couldn't enter. ”

After a pause, he handed the breakfast in his hand to Sherlock, who took it without surprise, before Donald continued,

In addition, although she advocated that the status and power of women need to be improved, she also emphasized the personal protection of women, hoping that they can take care of themselves. ”

Camilla Jackson can be said to be a feminist, and part of her view is very trendy, that women can also take on some crucial positions, such as managers of large factories, developers of cutting-edge technology, and so on.

This idea was not unusual to Donald, after all, it had already been realized in his previous life.

There are also some views that are quite biased and Donald does not comment.

However, in today's social conditions, this kind of thinking is really not mainstream, although there have been quite a few achievements of women, and feminist organizations have often spoken out in newspapers, but the social trend has not been much reversed, and the opportunity to call it a turning point has not yet appeared.

"So proactive, and so carefully investigated, it seems that you are very concerned about this case?"

Before Sherlock could speak, he heard Donald analyze it in general, swallowed the bread in his hand with milk, and asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, Sherlock, I'll have to ask you to do me a favor, if some clues do come out today, I hope I can tell the police department, don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to take credit, but I need a little bit of ...... in some matters lately Trust on the part of the police, I know it sounds like I'm committing a crime and trading this important clue for leniency, but I can't tell you all the facts. ”

Donald needs a bargaining chip to talk to Cirris's father in order to find out what happened to the grocery store fire four years ago, and even find something that will help him.

"Hey, Donald, do I look like a person who is desperate for money? I didn't intend to get any benefit from this investigation, I just didn't want to waste the clues in my hand, if it helps you, just use it, you saved my life in the meat processing factory before, and these are not even repaying the favor." ”

This may be the last collaborative detective between the two, and Sherlock knows in his heart that in fact, he has said one less thing, in the mountains and forests outside Ranffindor's farm, he can survive from the monster's mouth by Donald.

Now that they had reached a consensus, the two set to action.

"I commissioned a reporter from the newspaper to provide me with a current list of missing persons, and Madeleine Kirk is not the only student of the University of Mafando who has gone missing. ”

With the list in hand, Sherlock had already seen it in advance.

Seventeen people have been missing so far, five of them from Mafando University, and this number does not immediately indicate that there is any pattern in this, as the five students are in different departments and do not know each other.

"At present, I don't know if they have participated in the reading club, we need to verify, this is the basic information of those five students, which department is located, which class, we will go separately to ask their classmates, and meet here in half an hour. ”

Bold conjecture, careful verification.

It turns out that Baron Griffin, who was rescued at the beginning, did catch a key point by mistake.

These five female students cannot be said to be regular visitors to the book club, but they have all had the experience of going to the book club to listen to lectures on the recommendation of friends.

The police didn't find out about this, I'm afraid it's also because they go to the reading club irregularly, sometimes they don't go once a month, sometimes they go once a week on a whim, and there is no list of people in this reading club, and there is no signature to point to this, whether to go or not depends on the students' personal preferences, and there is no way to check if you want to check.

"I contacted Mr. Griffin yesterday afternoon, and his participation in the book club was five days ago, that is, on July 10, and all he can remember about that day is that he refuted some not-so-good remarks from Professor Camilla in class, and then he was kicked out of the book club, and his identity was revealed in the subsequent rebuttal...... He didn't admit it, but I could tell it from his explanation, that nine out of ten of the people who were involved in the book club at the time recognized him, even though he was wearing a dress. ”

For the sake of Madeleine Kirk, Baron Griffin can be said to be open-minded, and the acceptance of men and women in this era is not as high as in previous lives, especially a decent baron.

"In this case, we can assume that Griffin's visit that day made someone think that he had been exposed or suspected, and in order to prevent the other party from spreading the news, this person chose to find someone to deal with Griffin, which means that the other party's status is not low, and he can contact the alien through some way. ”

Griffin wore women's clothes to the book club, and in his own eyes it may have been just a so-called dedication to love, and he did not hesitate to think of more.

But in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, the meaning behind a baron actually making such a sacrifice must be extraordinary.

As a result, Griffin became a target of the other party without knowing it, and wanted to kill him quickly.

"We went straight to Professor Camilla, who was in her book club, and it was she who had an argument with Griffin at the time, and she must have been particularly impressed by what had happened that day. ”

No matter what happened at the reading party on July 10, or what happened to the girls who disappeared after participating in the reading party, the female professor could not be avoided.
