Pick the door and don't lock it, Leo hasn't done it for a year, but fortunately this lock is not complicated. In less than a minute, he pushed open the office door, stepped inside, and immediately closed the door.

It's more appropriate to say it's more of a bedroom than an office. The furnishings are quite simple, with bookshelves against the wall, a desk next to the bed, two chairs, a hanger in the corner, a soft bed and a bunch of daily necessities. Bright sunlight slanted in, adding a suitable light to the room. Just looking at this environment, it is not difficult to imagine that its owner must be an elder who has devoted himself to learning.

Thinking of this, Leo was suspicious of what Rolov had said. But he also knew that the old man never joked when he was down to business.

"Forget it, it's important to finish your work and leave."

Leo quickly chose a good position for the bug in his hand—the angle between the bottom of the desk and the legs, which was a difficult place for his hand to touch, and should not be noticed.

Leo, who had installed the bugging, did not dare to stay for long, and walked out of the room quickly, carefully closing the door, and then using the locksmith to get the door lock back to the state of anti-locking.

"What are you doing, Leo?"

"Ahh

Leo cried out in shock, turned around, and slammed his back against the door.

"Ann, Andora, why are you ...... here?"

"Professor Trickoff asked me to come, and he said he forgot to take a notebook...... What do you do in the professor's office? ”

In the latter sentence, Andora asked a little seriously. Even Leo can't trespass into someone else's room, let alone the teacher's. Something to do with the teacher, Andora will immediately put away his usually not very serious expression, let people know how angry he looks.

This is impossible to hide in any way, Leo thought, his eyes wandering around, thinking about how to make up a reason.

"Don't lie to me, Leo, if you're not going to say ......"

"Stop, stop, I said, believe it or not."

"Let's hear it first."

"To put it simply, the old man made me do this."

"Lord Rolov?"

"yes, he wants me to install a bugging device in the professor's room."

"Bugging? Eavesdropping on professors? Why? ”

"This ...... You'd better ask the old man. ”

Suspicious, Andora stared at Leo for a moment, then took out the key to the house that Trikoff had given him, and opened it. He wanted to finish what the teacher had told him first, and then go to Rolov to ask him about it. But as soon as I entered the room, I was stunned, the table was bare, and there were no notebooks.

Andora rummaged through the bookcase again, but he couldn't find it, and suddenly he remembered something, and turned his suspicious gaze to Leo.

"Don't look at me, I didn't move, really, I'll come out after installing things." Leo hastened to explain.

Andora knew Leo's character, and he had to think about it for a long time if he wanted to make up a nonsense. That being said, the notebook is really not in the room.

Confused, Andora locked the door again and said to Leo, "You go, I'll have time to ask Lord Rolov again." ”

"Okay."

The two walked away, and Andora hurried back to the conference room on the fourth floor, beside Trikoff. The man in the room quietly read the materials in his hand, and he leaned over and whispered in Trickoff's ear.

"Teacher, there are no notebooks in the room."

Trikoff's brow furrowed, and he immediately stretched out again.

"Oh, that might have been me somewhere else...... Nothing else, right? ”

“…… No. ”

Andora hesitated slightly as he answered the question, and he covered up the past with a blink of an eye.

"Okay, you go get busy."

"Good teacher."

Andora walked out of the conference room quietly, his suspicions widening. Even if a teacher is sick, he or she will handle things related to teaching in an orderly manner. Forgetting to bring a notebook for a meeting is rare in itself, and it is unheard of to not even remember where the notebook is.

Perhaps, the teacher just wanted to let him go to the office to see if there was anyone.

"Is there really something wrong with the teacher?"

Andora, who was talking to herself, went downstairs and dialed Rolov's phone and told him about the discovery of Leo.

"Look for me outside the South Gate." Rolov finally said.

*****

Ten minutes later, not far from the south gate, it was still the same car, with Rolov in front and Leo and Andora in the back.

Andora couldn't wait to ask about Trickoff. Rolov warned Andora with a warning to Leo, asking him not to pass it on, and Andora nodded in agreement. Then he heard what Leo had heard, and his reaction was much more excited than Leo's.

"This, that is, the teacher is suspected of leaking secrets, and it is about Akiyama...... No, it's the whole country!? ”

To Andora's sharply raised voice, Rolov replied flatly.

"To put it mildly, it does."

"But, but how can you be sure that the teacher has a problem?"

Rolov did not answer this sentence, but threw two pieces of paper to Andora.

This is the part of the police that the police interrogated Trickoff, and found that his answers were false, plus the report that the police judged to have written. You're smarter than Leo, look at this, be faster than I said."

Andora, who took the report, read it line by line, not letting go of every word, as if checking a student's homework. But the more seriously he looked, the more nervous he became. All the descriptions pointed the finger of suspicion at their own teacher.

"But, Lord Rolov, these are just suspicions, no evidence!"

"There was no evidence, so I sent him there." Rolov pointed at Leo, "I obviously said that I didn't want to involve Andora, but I still messed up!" ”

Leo, who was speechless, pouted, and Andora bowed her head and said nothing. It is true that the police have no evidence, but the reason for suspecting the teacher in this report is completely reasonable, and he is an outsider and cannot prevent the police from collecting evidence. There's only one thing that can be done now.

"Lord Rolov, let me help you with the work of the professor?"

"Are you sure?" Rolov asked rhetorically.

"I am his student, and I have this obligation to confirm that the teacher is not real...... Anyway, please. ”

"Whatever you want."

"Wait old man, you're ...... like this"

Leo's objection was interrupted by Rolov: "I have this intention, I have no reason to refuse, right?" Andora, you go and drive your car over, I'll tell you how. ”

"Got it."

Andor pulled out of the car and slowly pushed the door back into place. Leo knew he was uncomfortable and couldn't help but take his anger out on Rolov.

"Are you intentional? Isn't that the same as stimulating Andora? ”

"Idiot, I'm helping him." Rolov said unceremoniously, "You don't know his temper yet, and if he has anything to do with Trikov, then you must confirm it with your own eyes." If I refuse him, maybe he will find a way to get into the truth on his own, and if we don't talk about it, he himself will be in danger, right? ”

Thinking about it, Leo also felt reasonable, so he stopped insisting. It's just that there is one more problem that he can't figure out.

"Then again, why would that professor leak secrets for outsiders?"

"It probably has something to do with last year's incident."

"What's the matter?"

"At the end of last year, wasn't there a time when a paper published by Trikoff, suspected of fraud and plagiarism, was hyped up? At that time, Trikoff never took a stand, allowing the matter to escalate, and various media continued to follow up and report, after all, the school's history school is very famous. ”

"And then?"

"Later? From a certain day, all the rumors about this matter disappeared without a trace, it's amazing, right? ”

"It can't be what you did again, right?" Leo wondered if he had heard more than once about Rolov's suppression of the media and the blocking of news.

"I'm not idle enough to bother with the old pedant's face, but it's right to think about it now. If I had helped him set things up, maybe he wouldn't have been caught. ”

"Is this why the professor was blackmailed?"

"That's all I can think of."

Leo shrugged his shoulders, feeling incredulous. Selling out the school just because of an article, he didn't understand it at all.

However, just as Andora has an obligation to confirm what her teacher has done, she also has an obligation to do her friend a favor.

*****

Andora's car was parked in a vacant lot more than 500 meters away from the school's south gate. From the moment he finished talking to Rolov in the morning, he and Leo sat in the car, listening to the voices in Trikoff's office.

In addition to bugging, several police officers patrolled the windows of Trickoff's office, and Trickev's car had a transmitter that could send a signal that could be picked up by a palm-sized receiver. The receiver could also pick up the sound from the bugging, and it was now in Leo's possession.

Trikoff came back before lunch and went out quickly. I stayed in the house after lunch, until now, past 5 o'clock in the evening. During this time, a few people came to deliver things to Trikoff. The old professor also went out to the toilet twice, and the surveillance in the corridor showed that he came out after two minutes of going in, which was a normal time, and then there was the rustling sound in the room, which could be writing or flipping books. In short, the voice Leo wanted to hear never appeared.

Until 5:45 p.m.

In the receiver, Trickoff said "Hey". Leo, who had put his reclining seat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, rolled over, and Andora, who was standing outside to relax, also returned to the car.

"Isn't that okay...... I'm ready here, the data disk, and the core...... Where is the location...... Okay, I got ......."

The sound of speech stopped here, and then there were footsteps and the sound of doors closing, and the room fell silent. Leo looked at Andora, his face pale, leaning forward, his hands on his forehead, trying to accept the harsh reality.

"How...... Probably ......"

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Andora shook her head and slowly lifted her face.

"Long pain is better than short pain, hurry up and tell the old man the situation and let him do it."

Leo said and took out his phone, but was grabbed by Andora.

"Wait a minute, Leo."

"What for?"

"You can ...... first. Don't you tell Lord Rolov? Andora knew that her request was unreasonable, and he was almost pleading with his friend, "Let me talk to the professor first, maybe I can stop him!" ”

"Don't be stupid, Andora!" Leo broke away, "You may not like to hear this, but the old professor has leaked secrets for so long, how can he listen to you and don't do it?" ”

"I'll find a way!" Andora snatched her phone back, "I'm his student, he'll listen to me!" And it's not big yet, just ...... now."

"Calm down, Andora! That's impossible! ”

"Won't you help me with this?"

Leo felt that Andora's emotions were out of control, and he wanted to get out of the car, but the doors were locked by Andora, so he had to grab the phone again, and the two were in a stalemate until there was a loud noise outside.

Boom –

The tug-of-war between the two was interrupted by an explosion from the direction of the campus, followed by smoke and fire. Then there were two more explosions, and several buildings were engulfed in flames in an instant.

The sudden explosion caused the police to act quickly, and everyone gave up their current posts to maintain order and evacuate teachers and students on campus. The screams and cries were endless, and the teachers and students ran towards the school gate.

"Don't panic, everyone! Run outside the school! This way, this way! ”

There were three explosions, and the fire spread quickly, igniting some flowers and trees, and turning a large area into a sea of fire. The police had to disperse to guide people out of the fire. Soon, a large number of fleeing people poured into the south gate, and there was chaos in front of the gate. Andora thought that Trikoff might take advantage of the chaos, but there was no sign of Trikoff in the crowd.

"Professor! Professor Trickoff! ”

Andora, who was in a hurry, ran out of the car and shouted loudly, only to be answered by the chaotic shouts of the people, until the crowd was almost out, and he did not see Trickoff.

"Come back to Andora! Trickoff has fled! ”

Hearing Leo's shouts, Andora slipped back into the car. He saw a flickering red dot on the receiver's screen, rapidly moving from the center of the screen to the edges.

"Sit tight, let's catch up!" Andora said as she started the car.

"What can the two of us do? The professor must have gone to meet! ”

"Let's catch up first!"
