Chapter 17: Investigation in the Library

"That's right, after we catch the murderer, I must make the hateful Teacher Agade bow and apologize in front of us!"

Imagining in his mind that Agad was very unhappy, but had to endure the appearance of bowing and apologetic in front of him, Jesse's mouth grinned unconsciously.

"When the time comes, I must make him understand that my Uncle Jesse is not so easy to bully, and he will pay the price if he does something wrong!"

As he spoke, Jesse swung his fist hard, as if he were punching Egad in the face.

"It's not that easy. Pursed his lips, Marcy looked at Jesse who was very excited, and he couldn't bear to hit him, "If the real murderer was so easy to find, the teachers wouldn't have wronged you." ”

"Well, that's right, but since Mino proposed this plan, there should be a way. Marcy's words made Jesse stunned for a moment, and his high emotions fell back again, and he smiled reluctantly like Mino's confirmation: "Mino, I'm right." ”

"Of course!"

In the face of Jesse and the others' worries, Mino showed a hearty smile and said very confidently: "Although it is very likely that our investigation ability is not as good as the teachers of the academy, you must also know that we have a considerable advantage over the teachers. ”

"It's quite a big advantage, Mino, you're not kidding. ”

"Of course it's not a joke, although we don't have as many people as teachers, and we don't have the convenience of investigating them, but we know that we are not murderers, they are confused by the so-called biggest motive for murder, and they will only try their best to find evidence of our crimes, so naturally we can only work in vain, and we will definitely find the real murderer by carefully investigating other clues one by one!"

At the end, Minow's eyebrows fluttered, and he smiled confidently, as if the murderer had been ambushed at his hands.

After all, Minoan is still a person who likes to use wisdom to solve everything, and more than ten years of arcanist-like training have made him, like all arcanists, think that wisdom is higher than strength, even if all the previous experiences have made him realize the importance of power and pursue it, but that deep soul way of thinking has not changed.

"Marcie, you see, Mino is so confident, it must be fine, you can take a look. ”

Although he didn't quite understand what Mino meant, looking at the confidence on Mino's face, Jesse seemed to be infected, and the worries that had arisen before because of Marcy's words were swept away, and he patted Marcy's shoulder and laughed.

"I hope you can do it. Marcy was helpless about Jesse's confidence, and he didn't know what to say at all, so he could only turn his head and say to Mino: "If there is anything to help, just ask, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." ”

"Well, thank you Marcy. ”

After chatting for so long, it was already time for class again, so Mino didn't say anything more, thanked Marcy, and hurried to class.

The library of Cui Lan College, from a small study room with only more than 100 general education books at the beginning of the school, has been continuously expanded and filled over the past few hundred years, and has now become an independent building containing more than 100,000 precious classics and all kinds of books.

Due to the preciousness of various texts, the walls of this four-story stone building are incredibly thick, and various defensive magic arrays are laid out, so that a professional with a level less than four will not even want to cut through the wall tiles here.

Coupled with the guards on duty, it is said that unless it is a strong person above the sixth level who goes all out, the library is an impregnable and absolutely peaceful area, and no one should want to hurt people here.

I don't know if it's because of such a strong protective force that the academy dares to put those precious magic books and Douqi martial arts cheats here, or because of those precious books here, so there is such a powerful protective force here.

Anyway, I said a thousand things and ten thousand, and I said so much, all to illustrate one thing, that is, it is quite difficult to want to act recklessly here.

The entire library is divided into four floors, and the first floor is full of ordinary books that can be bought directly with money outside, as long as you have a student ID card from Cuilan, you can browse these books.

On the second level, there are all kinds of secret books involving rare knowledge that are difficult to buy, some cultivation notes of predecessors, and some archive files, and people who do not have the identity of the academy teacher or the certificate issued by the teacher cannot go up.

The third layer further up is the storage place of the most desirable magic books and fighting qi martial arts, and only some high-level students of the academy, and students with extremely excellent grades who have obtained special approval, are eligible to go up.

As for the fourth layer at the top, some people say that there are all kinds of imprisoned cursed books and evil magic and martial arts, so the academy has banned it, and some people say that there are all kinds of treasured legendary martial arts and unique magic left by the legendary powerhouses.

Some people even said that there was actually not a single book on it, and that it was a place for the academy to conduct human experiments, because someone had heard the screams faintly coming from inside, and it was built on the top floor of the library just to hide people's eyes.

But these are just rumors without responsibility, and as for the specific truth, no one knows, because it is said that there is a powerful magical enchantment on the fourth floor, and only the dean can climb there, not even a few vice deans.

However, those have nothing to do with Mino, although he is also very curious about the fourth floor of the legendary library, but he can't even go up to the second floor, let alone the fourth floor, and he is here today just to consult some archives related to the disappearance of the four Puke.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Marcy, who easily obtained a letter of recognition from his teacher by virtue of his status as a noble son, which saved him from the trouble of brazenly obtaining qualifications through the relationship of Archbishop Mars, and could go directly to the second floor.

After showing the letter of recognition that Marcy had brought to the caretaker at the staircase on the second floor, Mino, a freshman who had not read a book on the first floor, calmly climbed to the second floor, where only second-year students can come up, and ignored the books that others regarded as treasures, and went straight to the file area in the corner.

Although Mino is confident, but he is not proud, of course he knows that although the advantages he said exist, but it is not as big as he said, if he does not carry out extremely detailed investigation and research on all the clues, the final result is very likely to be nothing, so as soon as the afternoon martial arts class is over, he hurried over to read the information.

First of all, Mino's data files are all the students enrolled in the Warrior Academy in 9992 in the continental calendar, he is not familiar with Puke and others, and all he knows is a few words that leaked out when others chatted, and it is too much work to inquire about his acquaintances one by one, so Mino directly came to take the information he registered when he entered the school, and first look at the basic situation before talking about anything else.

After seeing the words of his father Agade in the registration column of Puke's parents, Mino finally understood why Agade's emotions were so out of control, it turned out that he had experienced the pain of losing his son, and he and Jesse were the biggest suspects in killing his son, no wonder it was like this.

The reason why Egad hated him and Jesse was found, but Mino was not happy at all, because a clue was cut off like this.

Since Puke's father, Egade, is a teacher at the academy and is still alive and well, then speculations such as the so-called world enemies and family feuds can be abandoned, and the information of the rest of the people is also ordinary, there is nothing peculiar, and the motive of the murderer can only be found from the actions of several of them themselves and interpersonal relationships.

Sure enough, it's not so easy to find the murderer.

Although he regretted that he couldn't find clues in the first book, Mino didn't feel lost and surprised, after all, if it was really that easy, he wouldn't need to find the murderer, and the reason why he wanted to check the information just now was just to understand some basic information and avoid missing things.

After checking the enrollment registration, Mino soon found the personal files of the four Puke, which recorded in detail the teaching and learning performance of several people in school, which can be said to be a summary of most of the time of Puke and others in school life.

After that, there are various information inquiries related to it, such as the information records of the fighters of the same grade that Puke has participated in, the specific situation of the promotion assessment, the outing experience and specific situation of the participation and so on.

Through the detailed analysis of these materials and the linkage investigation, Minoan can know most of the Puke's experiences in school, and can analyze the living conditions and behavior of these four people, and thus roughly judge that they may have enmity with those people in these activities, and have interests with those people, which is the best way to investigate the suspects of vendetta and interest killing.

Then there is the inquiry of the relevant information of each suspect, from their behavior habits, personality and other aspects of analysis, to eliminate the suspicion of those who are unlikely to kill, and to gather the suspects who have not been eliminated for key analysis.

In this way, through constant research of materials, listing one possible suspect after another, and then slowly eliminating their suspicions, using this standard arcane mage's behavior, Mino's investigation work was carried out in an orderly manner in the square inch on the second floor of the library.
