Chapter 181: The Shadow of Death
Long Yi never thought of himself as a senior trainer, and the more he devoted himself to it, the more he could feel the deep connotation of the profession of trainer.
Perhaps his strength has caught up with many old trainers for several years or more than ten years, but in other aspects, Long Yi feels deeply inadequate.
Lex's evolution made Ryuichi happy for several days, but it wasn't long before bad news was sent to his mailbox.
Sumire Uemoto is dead.
"Kurosawa, you emailed Sumire Uemoto to die? Is it true? Long Yi pushed open the door of the club room and got straight to the point.
The area inside the door is obviously not comparable to the kendo club, this is just a very marginal club, the size can only fit a long table, a few chairs.
Kurosawa Igarashi sat in a chair facing the door, and he was the only one in the room.
"What about the others?" Long Yi raised an eyebrow.
He thought that the other 4 people except Sumire Uemoto and himself were present.
"I only informed you." Kurosawa said, "You come and see this. ”
Kurosawa put a laptop in front of him, and Ryuichi walked over, and at this moment a photo was zooming in on the computer, and a man fell to the ground, his face was purple, and his face was indeed Sumire Kamimoto.
"Poisoned?"
"Yes. The body was found in the forest near the grass dormitory, and it was confirmed that the skin of the ankle had been cut by poisonous blades of grass, and the toxin flowed into the heart through the bloodstream, causing cardiac paralysis and death. ”
It is true that some reckless students die every year in the Trainer Academy due to various accidents, and poisoning is indeed a major cause of death, but Ryuichi never thought that it would happen to Sumire Uemoto.
This is a third-year senior who is about to graduate!
And he is not an ordinary student, in terms of identity is the president of the tennis club, which shows that the level of tennis and personal ability are definitely not low; In terms of strength, Sumire has won a qualification badge from the dragon's hand, and it is superior to the Akasaka sword.
Would such a person die from poisoning?
Long Yi didn't believe it.
"What about elves? Is Sumire Kamimoto's elf still around? Long Yi asked.
If it was really an accidental death, then his elf must still be there, but if it was man-made......
"Yes, not a single one is missing." Kurosawa sighed.
If the elf is really lost, the school will not make such a hasty judgment.
However, Ryuichi heard Kurosawa's implication: "You suspect, this is not an accident?" ”
Although the odds are small, it is indeed possible that Sumire Uemoto died of accidental poisoning because she didn't notice the small wound on her foot.
But listening to Kurosawa's tone, he clearly didn't believe it.
"Yes." Kurosawa admits this, "Few people know that Uemoto and I are actually very good friends. ”
It is true that few people know this, at least even Long Yi is kept in the dark.
"It's actually myopia, but he never wears bright-framed glasses, he always wears contact lenses, so no one else notices this, but you look here." Kurosawa switches to another photo, which is a close-up of his face. In this photo, you can clearly see the two contact lenses that were supposed to be in Sumire Uemoto's eyes, but now there is only one left.
"But that doesn't mean anything, it's probably a fall when you fall."
"I knew, so I didn't tell the school or ask anyone else."
"But you're still skeptical, aren't you?" Long Yi, he muttered for a moment, "Actually, I don't believe it either. There was no reason for it, but I always had a gut feeling that it wasn't normal. ”
If it was before Ryuichi met Sumire Uemoto, when he heard such news, he might have passed as a hilarious laugh.
But it was precisely because he had contact with Sumire Uemoto and knew what kind of person he was that Ryuichi had doubts about this matter.
Don't be surprised, the Elf battle can fully reveal the personality and style of a trainer. Although Sumire Uemoto is a bit arrogant, he is also a cautious person, which Ryuichi felt very deeply in the battle.
Such a person, you say, died in an accident caused by carelessness?
Anyway, Long Yi didn't believe it.
Kurosawa didn't believe it either.
But it didn't work!
They couldn't find enough evidence to prove that Sumire Uemoto had died in murder, and Kurosawa had already gone to the scene to check it, and there was no clue at all.
That's for sure, no matter how depraved the Trainer Academy is, it is still compared to several other top universities in the world, the academy will not make such a low-level mistake, and the school staff in charge of the investigation will only be more professional than Kurosawa.
In other words, although it is strange and hard to believe, it is really possible that this death was an accident!
And if it's murder, what about the motive? It's not for the elves, it's not for the money, does Sumire Uemoto have any enemies? ”
People have a motive for everything, especially such a thing as killing, and it is still so difficult to kill.
Kurosawa thought for a while and shook his head: "No, Uemoto's popularity is very good." ”
Without a motive, murder is even more nowhere to talk about, except in the case of the kind of perverted murderer who kills people at will.
Ryuichi and Kurosawa Igarashi's conversation that day ended in the end.
But it didn't take long for another person to die.
It was Du Binye who died this time.
Unlike Sumire Uemoto's death, Du Binye died in full view of everyone.
His elf Muk Eagle suddenly attacked Du Binye during the actual combat class, and before the academy assistant who was the referee on the side could react, Du Binye's head was grabbed into pieces by Mu Ke Ying's claws.
Blood and brains spilled all over the ground, causing a great commotion.
Then Muk Eagle was so manic that he began to attack the others, and the actual combat teacher Da Yuan Jin had no choice but to kill the rampaging elf on the spot, and afterwards the school detected drugs in Muk Ying's body that could make the elf become violent, bloodthirsty, and irrational.
This time, the school finally realized that something was wrong, and the death of two students in a row caused the acting principal Noriko Ando to quickly gather the remaining four students.
"Someone is assassinating you." She said.
That's almost certain.
Sumire Uemoto and Du Binye are well-known seniors in the third grade, and the other is an ordinary student in the first year, and the two have almost nothing in common except that they are selected by the academy to participate in the tournament at the same time, and naturally there will be no same enemies.
In the face of this news, the performance of the crowd varied.
Kurosawa Igarashi had anger on his face that his friend had been killed; Akasaka Sword is the uneasiness that threatens his own safety; Inoue is confident in her absolute strength.
And Ryuichi.
After experiencing the Seven Wolves Peak being besieged by wolves, the school building being attacked by Team Rocket, the wrath of the Tyrannosaurus at sea, and the assassination of Yoshino City against the Demon Cave, he no longer had the initial panic in the face of this kind of thing.
When Long Yi heard this, he only subconsciously clenched Mo Yan's hilt.
"Do you know who did it?" Kurosawa said in a suppressed voice.
"I don't know, but the few companies participating in the Future Academy Championship are the most suspicious. The school is trying its best to investigate this killer, and I just asked you to tell you the news, I hope you will be vigilant, it is best not to go out alone during this time, and do not feed your elves food of unknown origin. ”
In fact, the killer's methods are very felt, although the school found the drug in the body of the Muck Eagle, but it is not known when he/she let the Mu Keying of Du Binye eat that kind of thing.
As for Sumire Uemoto? I don't know how to start.
"I see." Akasaka Kendo.
"Since this killer chose to poison and drugged, then his strength is probably not enough to confront Sumire Uemoto and Du Binye head-on, as long as a few of us are careful, there is actually nothing to be afraid of." Akasaka Ken, who calmed down, analyzed, "But each of us should have someone we care about, and I hope that the school will send someone to protect my sister Akasaka Rei." ”
Noriko Ando nodded: "Yes." ”
"And Meisha." Dragons together.
Inoue also frowned and added, "My daughter also asked when I was not with her." ”
Noriko Ando looked at Kurosawa Igarashi and nodded after seeing that he didn't have anyone to protect, "I'll ask Mr. Ogen to send someone to protect your friends and relatives." ”
After the discussion, the four of them left the principal's office.
