Chapter 24: The Murderer

Toli's words were like a bomb, causing quite a stir among the crowd. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAmu has a gentle personality, devotes himself to the study of Warcraft, and has no enemies in the academy, but now he has been poisoned in a cruel way, and the students have no clue about the identity of the murderer, although they have occasional suspicions, but most of them are subjective assumptions, and there is no logic to find. Besides, the academy's tests have always been fair, and no amount of tricks can make a student of mediocre strength pass the qualification test, who will benefit from Amu's death?

"Torily, are you saying that one of these cadets killed Amu?" Lineker raised an eyebrow, as if skeptical of this conclusion.

"Did you notice any unusual behavior of the students during the surveillance?" Before Tori could reply, Keith asked the academy assistants first.

The assistants looked at each other and shook their heads in denial.

"You don't understand what I mean," Tori replied calmly in the face of everyone's doubts, "and the reason why I have gathered everyone here is because they are not the only ones I want to interrogate!"

This remark caused a thousand waves with one stone, and the students were in an uproar, and in Toli's eyes, even the instructor and assistant were suspected, and the seriousness of this poisoning incident was self-evident, but it also made Lineker and the others extremely embarrassed.

"Torily, are you serious?" Lineker grimaced, his tone of displeasure evident.

Ji Si couldn't help but say, "Are you suspicious of us, why did the instructor poison a student?"

"Doubt doesn't mean certainty," Torily replied coldly, "Amu has no suicidal tendencies at all, and even if he did, why choose that painful way?

In fact, in terms of seniority in the academy, Tory is completely inferior to Lineker, and obtaining an important position at such a young age is completely dependent on her first-class strength and tenacity. Before Fracio tracked down the two missing students, he also handed over control of the test to Torrey, a move that the other two had long disputed.

In the face of Toli's tough attitude, Lineker was furious, but he understood that Toli would not eat hard once he was more serious, so he temporarily gave up arguing with him, and forced his anger and said, "Then how do you want to check?"

"Ice cake grass is very rare, most of it is found in the southernmost jungles of the continent of Chia," Tori did not reply, but described the poison to the crowd, "It lives on insects, and whenever a flying insect lands on a branch or leaf, the end of the rhizome secretes a liquid that makes it unconscious, and then wraps it in leaves and digests it. Later, the properties of this plant were discovered by the locals and used to make poisons, but due to the ferocity of the poison, the cultivation of ice kueh grass has long been banned in the kingdom. ”

The experience of this test is really rich, first encountered the forbidden art, and now the forbidden plant has appeared, it seems that the kingdom seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent, Bell thought to himself. Not only him, but all the previous trainees on the train also thought so.

"Despite the ban, there are still forces secretly cultivating ice cake grass as a weapon of attack. In recent years, there have been many similar poisonings in the Kingdom, and the Knight Guild has been commissioned to track them down," Tori continued, "for which we have invented a detection liquid to find the venom of ice cake grass. In order to be prepared for any unexpected in this test, we carried this liquid with us. Next, it will be tested by the students of Takuyu!"

Originally, his strength made others sigh at themselves, but the students never thought that he would be able to participate in the investigation of the ice cake grass.

However, hearing this, Lineker couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at Takuyu and said angrily: "Why didn't I know that there was such an arrangement?

In the face of Lineker's anger, Tory only responded lightly: "Since Fracio has entrusted the reins to me, then it is up to me to decide, if you have any grievances, you can complain to him afterwards, but I want to remind you that this detection liquid was invented by Takuha." ”

"He invented it?" Lineker paused, and then his face turned the color of pig liver, "Okay, well, when I return to the academy, I will go to the dean to have a good theory!"

Takuha's invention once again convinced the students, and they also understood that Lineker, as the chief therapist of the academy, had a very strong say in medicine. And the detection liquid invented by Takuha was not reported to him, but was directly put into use, whether it was instructed by the dean or arbitrarily advocated, which undoubtedly slapped Lineker in the face. At this time, the other instructor Ji Si also didn't say a word, and stood aside and watched coldly.

Takuha didn't care about the tense atmosphere among the instructors, and after receiving Tori's order, he took out a small pot containing a pale yellow liquid. He stepped forward, bowed slightly to the three instructors, and then turned to everyone and said, "According to my research, the primordial secretion of the ice cake grass is not so ferocious, and draining the Yuan Force in the human body is the effect of the spell processing it, as long as you get close to this venom, the Yuan Force in the body will slowly gather towards it." Later, I found out that it also has a certain volatility, for the poisoner, after using this venom, there will inevitably be some residual liquid emitted on the body, although its toxicity is minimal, but if some special means are used, it can still detect the flow of Yuan Li. This pale yellow liquid is specially prepared for this purpose, and I have incorporated my own Yuan Force into it, it is not aggressive, but it is very sensitive. Now please relax your body, stretch out your hand, don't use any Yuan Force, I will put this small pot in your hands in turn, if the liquid in it begins to flow slowly, it means that this person must have residual venom on his body!"

I see, although the principle is simple, as a student of Takuyu, it is really impressive to be able to come up with such a method and deftly control his own Yuan Force to integrate it into the liquid. However, this approach is not universally accepted, and there will inevitably be opposition.

"Hmph! It's just nonsense, what kind of Yuan Force flows, it's completely based on your personal statement, if the murderer is yourself, what is the point of this test?" Lineker took the lead.

"Instructor Tori, are you sure the murderer is among us?" Takuha didn't answer, and asked Tory instead.

"Yes. Tori was confident in her judgment.

"Okay, in that case, if the liquid in the pot still doesn't show any signs of flow after everyone has tested it, I will bear the consequences of Amu's death alone!"

"You don't have to, just hold me accountable. Tori interrupted him, "You trust my judgment, and I trust your abilities.

The two of them actually made a promise at the same time, Lineker opened his mouth, and it was not at all good to object to anything, while the others were in a commotion, obviously shocked by their decision.

"But," said Ji Si at this point, "the Yuan Force in this liquid originally belonged to you, and it is not up to you to decide whether it flows or not?"

"Then ask the instructor to test it for you, is it okay?" Tuoyu smiled slightly and handed the small pot to Lineker, "If I control my own Yuan Force from a distance, you should be able to sense it, right?"

Facing the confident Tuoyu, Lineker raised his eyebrows coldly, remained silent, and did not take the small pot.

"Let's start with me!" Tori saw this, and offered to be the first to be tested. In the face of the two who are both soft and hard, if there is any more prevarication, Lineker will really be regarded as a suspect and become the target of public criticism. He had no choice but to take the pot and place it in Tory's hand.

As you can imagine, the liquid in the pot does not produce a trace of ripples. Later, Tuoyu also took the initiative to request testing, and nothing happened.

"Next, is it my turn?" Lineker asked coldly, but Takuha shook his head and said tepidly, "You don't need to test, when you took the small pot before, the liquid didn't flow, which proves that you are not a murderer." ”

When the words fell, everyone snickered, but they didn't expect Tuoyu to have already made a judgment. Lineker's expression was dramatic at this point. "You guys just keep messing around!" he snorted, returned the pot to Takuha, and sat down alone under a tree.

"It's your turn!" Tuo Yu didn't care about him, and came to the students with a small pot.

Bell et al. tested in turn, and the results were the same as before, and the liquid did not move. But when Takuyu walked up to one of them, the man cowered and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.

All eyes were immediately on this person, but Takuha stared at her tightly, not saying a word.

Finally, under the spotlight of everyone, she couldn't hold back anymore and actually cried out with a "wow".

"No...... I didn't take the initiative to poison Amu!" As soon as the words came out, she fell to the ground. Everyone else was taken aback, even Lineker stared in disbelief.

"This ...... How could it be you? Sophia?!" Everyone didn't expect that Sophia, who was eccentric on weekdays, was actually the murderer who poisoned Amu.

"Sophia, now I can tell you a secret, the reason why Instructor Lineker is not aware of the existence of this detection liquid is because it is currently only in the development stage and has not yet been put into use. But it happened suddenly, so I could do it on the fly!" Takuha winked at Tori, indicating that the task that the two had secretly cooperated with was successfully completed.

Sophia turned a deaf ear to Tuoyu's half-truths, with tears on her face, and muttered aggrievedly, "It's all ...... He ordered everything!" With that, she pointed to one person, and the identity of that person once again brought a huge shock to all personnel, this person was none other than one of the academy instructors who strongly opposed the test, Lineker!
