[040] to preemptively strike
"Please let me stay and take care of Miss Shanna. Lannoth poured a glass of water and wanted to hand it to Sophie, he looked at the slightly haggard girl on the bed, and said softly: "Miss Shanna is still very weak, and Tutor Nightingale has other sick classmates to take care of, so she must be too busy." ”
Sophie looked at the glass of water handed to her, swallowed her saliva with a cold expression, and said, "I...... Not thirsty. ”
Lannoth put it next to the bed and smiled, "Okay, then drink it when you're thirsty." ”
Kenlin said, "Will this delay you?"
The boy shook his head, a reassuring smile on his handsome and delicate face, and his blue eyes glowed softly, like a beacon, "No." ”
Kenlin still had a lot of business to attend to, and he couldn't stay long, and Kevin didn't want a teenager to take care of his niece, and besides, he was still an inferior commoner.
"No need," Kevin said, "The Balmain family will send a professional nutritionist to take care of it, so you better get out of here." ”
A trace of sadness flashed between the young man's eyebrows, he lowered his eyes, his thin and slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and looked back at Sophie, the girl was secretly drinking water, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the young man looking at her, and immediately calmly put down the water cup in his hand, and then tilted his head to the side very coldly, with a very arrogant "Hmph!"
She didn't seem to have any intention of refusing Kevin's decision, so Lannoth said, "Okay, Viscount Kevin, please also ask the nutritionists to take good care of Miss Shanna." ”
After the boy finished speaking, he left the infirmary.
Sophie looked at Lennoth's back and saw that he was far away, and then said to Kevin, "Uncle, I don't want a nutritionist to come." ”
"Why?" Kevin wondered.
"It's annoying. She lifted the quilt and lay down, and closed her eyes again, "Don't have a nutritionist, and don't let people disturb me at night, I'm very tired now, I want to sleep, my uncle Tutor Kenlin and Tutor Nightingale should go out." ”
Seeing that Shanna no longer wanted to speak, Kevin sighed, he also knew the character of his niece, she hated noisy and didn't like crowds, so he said, "Okay, Shanna." Rest well, and if there's anything going on, let someone inform me. ”
When there was no one in the room, Sophie opened her eyes.
The S12 that stayed in her collar could finally fly out to breathe.
It's still early, the classmates should still be in class, Sophie took two sips of water, and her dry throat was moisturized and comfortable.
She exhaled and looked around the room, which was surrounded by an extremely strong barrier that was supposed to be designed to protect her.
"Twelve, it's really hard to be prepared. "Sophie has something to say.
【Forehead...... So?]
The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sneered very pretendedly: "So, we must take the initiative to strike first!" If we can't catch the murderer, then the uncertain factors about Miss Shanna will always exist, and luck can't be used as a reason for not being able to die, too many times will cause suspicion." ”
The reason why she didn't let people guard it was that she wanted to go to the hall again tonight, the murderer was standing outside the window and shooting, she looked around when she was visiting the campus before, and there was a small pool outside the hall window, and the dirt around the small pool was wet, if someone had ever stood there, then the footprints must have been deeper than the last time I saw it.
The information about the murderer that I have learned so far, the man and the teenager, have very strong magical powers, otherwise it would be impossible to shuttle freely in the magic campus.
But there is another possibility.
The murderer, who is also an apprentice at the school.
Moreover, he has a gun, his marksmanship is very accurate, and he is a good hand at playing assassination.
It was easy to tell if he was from the academy from the footprints, because the apprentice's clothing, including shoes, was uniformly distributed, and those shoes could change their size according to each person's different size, but the pattern of the soles remained the same.
If you are really from the school, then the pattern of your footprints should be the same as your own.
"Is there anything in the system space that can find the traces of people?"
S12 flipped through the road: [Yes, yes, the water mirror of the Saintess Akarona can find everything related to the offering. It's just that the water mirror is very expensive, and it costs 20 points. The host only has 10 points now, so I can't buy it at all. 】
After completing Shanna's test taunt plot before, the will of the world gave 4 points, but after being injured, she spent 5 points to buy a potion, and now she can't get 20 at all.
Worry about.
Sophie pursed her lips and waved her hand: "Then forget it, let's find clues first, and then find out the murderer when the plot is completed." ”
*
In the evening, Nightingale's tutor changed Sophie's medicine again, and only after the girl looked tired did he pack up the potions and say goodnight to her.
The magical barrier is very strong, and probably no one will come in tonight.
Sophie has a good way to get out of here and turn back into a spirit.
After Shanna died, she was able to condense Miss Shanna's body and return to her own spirit state.
As S12 said, she is essentially a little Piao that is invisible to others.
Opening the door from the inside doesn't touch the barrier, and Sophie quietly runs out.
It's not too late, even if it's a new magic apprentice, it shouldn't be long after the evening class.
It's easy to get hungry at night, Sophie rubbed her stomach and thought about it, why don't you go to the cafeteria and flip through something to eat before looking for clues?
However, this idea was directly given to pai by S12.
[You're looking for clues, not here to steal something to eat!!]
Sophie yelled aggrievedly, "I know, I know, QAQ, you are not allowed to talk about me!!"
The lights went out in the hall, only the lighting crystals were still shining, and it seemed that Lannoth had left the place as well.
"If Mentor Kenlin was smart enough, he wouldn't have let people clean the hall. Sophie was sure.
S12 is puzzled, [Why?]
Sophie smiled smugly, opened the door, and walked into the hall leisurely, "With my years of experience watching Conan, a smart person must know how to protect the crime scene." ”
S12 suddenly realized, [I see, you are so powerful, host!]
With Sophie's action of opening the door and walking in, S12 held his breath, inexplicably a little nervous,
And then—
Suddenly, a flash of golden light!
The crystal-paved ground reflected a bright light!
The resplendent hall is shining!
At a glance, the hall made of crystals is completely clean! Even if there is no light, those glowing crystals can simply flash the eyes of a dog!
It should have been carefully cleaned!
Even the two wooden tabletops were wiped by people and were about to glow!
Sophie: "......" =_=
S12:【......】=_=
The movement of entering the door was instantly stiff.
*
"Ahem!" Sophie coughed vigorously and salvaged a wave, "It's okay, our goal is the footprints outside the window, and it doesn't have much to do with the crime scene in the hall!"
She ran to the small pool facing the window.
However.
The dirt is also flat, and there is nothing.
The only place where there was a depression was a carp in a small pond that had accidentally jumped onto the shore, and was fluttering there with its dead mouth open in the dirt.
Sophie: "......"
S12:【......】
*
"Ahem!" Sophie thought she could save again, "No, isn't there still a monitoring crystal ball? Let's, let's take a look at that, we will definitely get clues from the replay!"
S12:【......】
S12: Oh. 】
