Chapter 155: The Second Homicide
"Oh, my dear Kelsey, baby! You did a great job, but it's not your fault, don't take it to heart, this kind of thing happens, no one wants it! Oh, poor soldier, may Heaven be free of pain! God bless us......"
The psychotherapist, who had a relationship with Kelsey, was squatting in front of Kelsey in a luxurious nightgown and fluffy cotton slippers, comforting the poor little girl who had "witnessed the tragedy again and the possibility of depression had increased a little more".
Not far away, a group of academy officials and several staff members, including Edgar, were investigating the scene of the crime, searching for evidence.
Su Wen and Ellie stood aside, observing the whole process.
After Kelsey fired the flare, Su Wen and Ellie arrived at the scene and immediately understood what was going on. They landed on the front foot, and Pamela rushed over on the back foot, followed by several high-ranking members of the academy and the high-ranking military officers sent down from above.
Because he became the first discoverer of the case again, Kelsey was a little uneasy by the scrutiny of several high-level scrutinists, but after confirming that Kelsey had no problem, Kelsey's suspicion was dispelled, and Pamela called the middle-aged woman who was a psychotherapist again to calm Kelsey's emotions.
Actually, Kelsey wasn't scared stupid, she was just a little paralyzed.
But the psychotherapist doesn't think so, and even if she is called up in the middle of the night, her professional skills can make her sensational and empathetic to comfort Kelsey.
Until Su Wen brought Ellie over and helped her out of the siege.
"Thank you. After the psychotherapist left, Kelsey said thank you to Su Wen lightly, and Ellie stepped forward to ask Kelsey about what was going on just now.
Su Wen glanced at the two girls and walked towards Edgar.
Another murder, this time the victim became a soldier on the guard. The victim's death was basically the same as that of the schoolgirl, and several high-ranking officials believed that it was killed by a monster.
The victim's brain and blood were sucked away. Obviously, although similar to the blood, the methods are more cruel than the blood.
Su Wen and Ellie's alibi naturally dispelled the suspicions of these high-level officials about Ellie.
But the picture is not promising.
Because such a terrifying creature lurking in the campus is a very dangerous existence for teachers and students. What's more, this is still in the Imperial Academy, which is the face of the Marenor Empire.
"The deceased had signs of struggle, but it was not strong, judging from the footsteps, the deceased should have found something and stepped forward slowly, but there was a sudden change, and the footsteps were instantly messy. The staff in charge of the investigation analyzed it and told everyone at the scene: "In other words, this target was originally determined to be harmless by the deceased, and only then did it enter the safe range." ”
"In other words, the murderer is a monster disguised as a human, right?
“...... It's a pity that other than that, there are no clues, and there is no trace of this murderer escaping at all!"
Several high-level officials were silent, the time of the crime was not too far from now, Edgar and the other two could still detect the monster aura remaining here, which was indeed a different breath from Ellie, but this unfamiliar aura also became a break point in the clue.
It's a monster aura that even Ellie can't detect.
After a hurried finish, the sun gradually rose.
When the students woke up, they found that the tense atmosphere in the college was even more tense than before. Along the way, almost all soldiers were arranged, and some slightly remote places were guarded by soldiers, prohibiting students from entering.
After arriving at the classroom, the head teacher reiterated the importance of safety and reported the second homicide that happened last night.
This time, it was finally revealed that the murderer might be a monster incarnated as a human.
The students gasped.
It stands to reason that in such a case, classes should be suspended. However, once classes are suspended, it will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the academy and the reputation of the Male Empire.
Although Edgar and others advocated the suspension of classes to avoid risk, the military representatives, who held tokens one level higher than Edgar, suppressed the opinions of this side with an extremely strong attitude.
Although the angry Edgar almost beat up the military representatives, in the end, he reluctantly accepted the decision on the condition that he would send guards.
Barot yawned and collapsed on her desk during recess.
But Phyllis, who was running from the other side of the classroom, shook her up, and told Ballot, with a little excitement, "Balotte, you know what! That case was discovered yesterday shortly after we went back to the dormitory, oh my God, it's so exciting......
"Oooh...... Ballott didn't know what Phyllis was talking about, so she could only mumble in an attempt to get Phyllis away as soon as possible so that she could catch up on sleep.
Barot doesn't have the guts to sleep in class like Ellie.
But then again, why isn't Phyllis sleepy?
“...... So I'd like to take a look at the crime scene in the afternoon, and maybe I can find the murderer......"
"Oh......" Barrot sighed, but in the next second, he immediately reacted and exclaimed, "What did you say??"
Phyllis didn't feel Barlot's incredulity, and continued to say to herself: "These adults, they can't even find clues, they're just too weak, by the way, you don't know, our family has a special magic passed down from ancient times, and it specializes in tracking down this kind of monster...... Really, I said it was a monster, but I thought it was a human...... Oh, how could a human dare to make trouble in the Academy......"
"It's not. Barrot grabbed Phyllis by the shoulders and said word by word, "No, yes, go!"
......
Ellie...... Why are you so sleepy today?" asked Ellie as she yawned and was about to lay down.
"Ah...... Last night...... Didn't sleep much. Ellie raised her eyelids and looked at Heidi weakly: "Ah, don't talk about it, let me sleep for a while, the teacher will come and talk about it." ”
The teachers of the warrior department are extremely patient with Ellie, even if they sleep all kinds during class, but when they are tested, they can actually rank in the forefront.
A teacher once said that as long as Ellie could get first on a certain test, she could do whatever she wanted in his class.
So Ellie did whatever he wanted in his class.
It also directly led to the later teachers not daring to mention this stubble, and at the same time, the patience for Ellie also improved during that time.
Heidi sighed, the two recent homicides had made her feel a little heavy. I thought that I would not have to worry about being afraid in the academy, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day when I was as scared as camping in the wilderness. However, if there are those strong people in the academy, this incident will not be resolved in a long time......
The optimism in her bones is probably also a nature in Heidi's adventurer's blood.
Just thinking about it, Lucia, who was sitting in front, also yawned and prepared to fall to sleep.
"Lucia, why are you falling asleep too?"
"Ah......" Lucia got up weakly and said embarrassedly, "I was a little scared last night, so I couldn't sleep......"
All right...... Heidi sighed a second time, but there was already the sound of Ellie's even, slight breathing.
