Chapter Twenty-Four: Turner

Since you have promised others, then there is no reason to break the promise.

Therefore, although he has proven his innocence, Mino still investigates the existence of the real murderer as carefully as he did before the identification.

Dean Dubert's description of the Phantom of Trilan is a great possibility, but Mino does not intend to take it as an answer and give up the exploration of other possibilities.

Even from the sorting out of some gossip, it is not difficult for Mino to find that Cui Lan Phantom, who has been low-key for a long time, has recently become active again.

Love killing, vendetta killing, interest killing, after all kinds of murder motives have been eliminated one after another, the Phantom of Cui Lan in the only two options has no clue at all, so what Minoan can investigate is only the final involvement in the undercurrent.

Puke's father, Egad, was born in a commoner, and he was obsessed with the study of magic, and he was not good at communicating with people, and there was basically no connection with the aristocracy, as his son, if nothing else, Puke should be the same, and the aristocratic class had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, it was only if, and this accident was the target of Mino's trip: Turner Borus.

The eldest son of the patriarch of the current generation of the great noble Borus family, the best of the second-year students of the warrior branch, and the third-level genius warrior who is only eighteen years old, these are the titles of this proud son of the sky.

However, the reason why Mino found him was purely because this man was the boss of the deceased Puke.

As the heir of an aristocratic family, this Mr. Turner seems to have been born with the passive ability to gang up, and after entering the school, he used his own advantages to attract a group of people, and the four Puke were one of them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Puke will have such a bad character, at most three points because of Ageard, and most of the reasons are due to the influence of this Mr. Turner, which shows Turner's influence on Puke.

It is precisely because of Turner's particularity to Puke that it is not incomprehensible to say that Puke and others were involved in events that they should not have been exposed to and even died because they helped him do things.

With this in mind, Mino approached Turner.

"What? You actually suspect that those guys died because of me? It's ridiculous, what basis do you have to prove it? Get me out without proof!"

"Just want to do some investigation, who gave you this right? Your Majesty, if not, why should I cooperate with your investigation?"

"Nobles, what are you kidding? You mudbloods who don't even know the coats of arms of all races, take care of your mouth, slandering nobles is a big crime!"

Although Mino had expected this to be extremely difficult before he came, he really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Seeing this Mr. Turner, Mino finally understood how Puke's nasty personality came about, because the character of the idol he imitated was ten thousand times more annoying than his!

The famous Mr. Turner was like a male peacock, constantly showing off his magnificent tail and the dignity of the so-called aristocracy.

But his personality is like a sea urchin, strong and prickly, and Mino tried his best to find out the slightest bit of information from his mouth, but was stabbed by this guy's sharp words.

"Turner Bonus, I hope you understand that I have no interest in what you are doing, and that I am only here to investigate the murderers of the four Pukke, so please don't act like this and refuse to cooperate!"

After spending so much time on Turner's body, but he didn't gain anything at all, but suffered for a long time, Mino's patience was close to the limit, and his tone couldn't maintain the initial gentleness, and became sharp.

"This classmate, as a stranger meeting for the first time, I don't think you have the right to call me by my first name. ”

Concentrated on peeling the grapes, Turner's gaze never returned to Mino's presence since he confirmed that Mino knew nothing, almost completely ignoring Mino's presence, and his words became arrogant and frivolous.

"And again, please note that I did not invite you here, and I am under no obligation to cooperate with you. ”

With that, Turner put the peeled grapes in his mouth, squinted and savored them, as if he was immersed in the deliciousness of the grapes.

"That's enough! Turner Borus!" Turner's words were like a spark, completely detonating Mino's long-suppressed anger, he stood up sharply, pointed to the room where the two of them were, and said coldly, "It's just the two of us here, so please put away your disgusting aristocratic rhetoric for me." ”

"Don't think I don't understand your tricks, I can see that although you are not the murderer of them, you definitely let them do something that you are not good at yourself, and these are probably the reasons why they were killed, which is why you were so excited when you first learned that I was here to investigate this matter. ”

Listening to Mino's words, the frivolity on Turner's face disappeared, replaced by an indescribable solemnity.

Clearly, Mino's words speak for themselves.

"You're afraid that what you've done will be exposed, and you're afraid that after letting Mr. Aijiade know about your use of Puke, you will come to you for trouble without knowing the consequences, and you're even more afraid of the image of your painstaking management, so you will grit your teeth and refuse to speak, I think I'm not wrong. ”

The magician is half an aristocrat, and Mino has read so many books, so he naturally knows the private conflict of interests between these noble children.

"In fact, Senior Turner, you don't need to hide relevant information at all, I'm not a nobleman, the only role I get that information is to investigate the murderer, as your little brother, you can help find out the real culprit who killed them, and it's also good for you. ”

It's a pity that Mino still lacks experience after all, and he wanted to chase after the victory, but after saying something, Turner, who was already bluffed, calmed down again.

"Who do you think you are? It's ridiculous to want to slander a nobleman just by your own imagination, and I can send you to prison just because of that!" Turner was annoyed and angry because he was actually scared by Mino before, and his words were quite unpolite, "But for the sake of everyone being classmates in the same academy, I will let you go this time, if you dare to commit it again, I don't mind letting you know what is called the majesty of nobility." ”

"As a senior, I finally advise you, detective games are not so fun, it's better to close your mind early, don't find the murderer in the end, but lose yourself. ”

Speaking of which, Mino's trip was a foregone conclusion, looking at the firmness in Turner's eyes, although Mino was unwilling, he still had no choice but to give up the idea of prying open Turner's mouth.

Looking at Mino's back as he left angrily, Turner's eyes in the room were extremely cold.

Unable to get the relevant information from Turner, Mino's investigation got stuck here and there was no way to continue.

However, it was precisely because of Turner's tight-lipped mouth that Minoan became more and more convinced that Puke and others were involved in the so-called aristocratic struggle because they were helping Turner, so that they lost their lives, otherwise, how could Turner die and not speak.

In particular, Turner's final remarks persuading Mino to abandon the investigation made Mino angry, but it also proved this point more and more.

In Mino's opinion, if Turner didn't already know the reason for Puke's murder and the true identity of the murderer, why would he say such a thing?

It's a pity that when you think about it, Turner doesn't cooperate, and Mino has no way out, and it seems that Mino has no other way out than to give up.

But is that really the case?

In an ordinary alchemy laboratory in the Mage's Branch, Mino and Yelai were busy preparing for the concoction of potions.

It had been three days since Mino had purchased those medicinal herbs, and when he found that many of them needed to be air-dried had finally met the requirements for the preparation of potions, Mino immediately got busy.

After all, the effect of this primary spiritual stabilization elixir is to stabilize Yelai's mental power that has just broken through and is still somewhat unstable, if it takes a long time, Yelai himself will solve this problem through cultivation, what do you need Mino's potion for.

Therefore, as soon as the time came, the allocation of primary mental stabilization elixirs was immediately put on the agenda.

"Huh............ Isn't this a mosquito repellent leaf? How did it get mixed into the Maya flower, fortunately I found it in advance, otherwise the refining would definitely fail later. ”

Mino, who was preparing alchemy items such as flasks and crucibles, heard Yelai's self-talk, and when he looked back, he found that Yelai was throwing the star life grass he had finally gotten into the trash can, and hurriedly took the star life grass down.

"yes, I forgot, this is the star grass that Minoan bought cheaply, and I almost threw it in the trash, I'm really sorry. ”

Seeing Mino's attention-grabbing performance, Yelai immediately remembered what happened that day, and couldn't help but be embarrassed and said apologetically.

Yelai's apology was very sincere, but Mino didn't seem to hear it, staring blankly at the star grass in his hand, dazed, so that Yelai thought that Mino was really angry.

After a long while, Mino came back to his senses, looked at Yelai's red eyes on the side, and quickly explained after asking what was going on.

"I'm sorry Sister Yelai, I wasn't angry with you, but when I saw the Star Grass just now, I suddenly remembered that I could use it to find the murderer, and I didn't come back to my senses for a while, Sister Yelai, don't cry. ”

"Well, Mino, it's good that you're not angry. After listening to Mino's explanation, Yelai burst into tears, reached out and poked the star grass in Mino's hand, and asked suspiciously, "But isn't the star grass used by Mino, you used it to perform secret arts, how can it be used to find the murderer?"
