336 Murders and rumors
Athena's eyes were indeed keen, and when the two approached, they found that the body in the bushes was indeed the student named Lambert.
His body was pale, his eyes widened, and he seemed to have seen something incredible before he died, and his expression was shocked.
On closer inspection, this person did not have the slightest wound on his body, and seemed to be scared to death.
There are no signs of a fight around, and it is possible that the eucalyptus scene was not here at all.
So this walk, which was supposed to be leisurely, had to be forced to stop.
The news was reported to the school, and the campus guard team heard the news and immediately cordoned off the scene to launch an investigation.
All of them had solemn faces.
Some well-informed professors and students followed one after another to the nearby onlookers, and Kevin also heard the movement, and when he saw the corpse, his face turned white.
His father, Gray, also came, but with a serious expression, he only glanced at it a few times before leaving the scene.
In the midst of the busyness, Melen and Athena, the two people who first found the body, were questioned a few words, but they were not embarrassed, and signaled that the two could leave.
"Fort St. Grant has been getting more and more ineffective lately."
Athena and Mellen, who left the scene, said: "There have not been as many major events in the past five years as there have been in this month. ”
Although she was complaining, her tone was like small talk.
This girl is not a sympathetic person, and when she saw the corpse before, her eyes were like seeing a stone on the side of the road, and she was a little surprised, but only an accident.
Relatively speaking, modern people like Melen are actually more in awe of life, although there have been many people who have been killed intentionally or unintentionally in the past, but a familiar classmate died like this, but it still makes him a little uncomfortable.
Of course, it was only uncomfortable, and considering that Lambert had been trying to "whitewash" him into a pureblood, Mellen felt that he might be in a bit of trouble because of the sudden and inexplicable death.
Sure enough, as the news of Lambert's death spread, Kevin's story, which was originally limited to the spread of the college, was immediately pushed to the whole campus and became a hot topic among teachers and students.
And the reason for the conflict between Lambert and Kevin has become the focus of everyone's discussion.
"Are you really a pureblood, Egger?"
Even Lily, a little kid far away in Graham City, sent a message asking about it, which made Mellen, who had already finished a day's class, a little helpless.
"Of course not."
He replied, "It's just that there are people who want me to be pureblood. ”
"Because they can't beat you, so they have to woo you?"
"You're not right, but the reasoning is similar."
"Will you be a traitor then?"
The little girl who grew up in the Half-Blood Association has always been hostile to pure-bloods, but on the other hand, she also knows that maintaining a half-race identity is actually not the slightest benefit for Melen herself.
"It's up to you to pay me back."
Mellen replied.
So the little guy who wanted to say something immediately stopped talking.
Mellen chuckled at this, feeling amused.
Considering the problem of the body of the Holy Spirit, he chatted with Lily a lot during this time.
At first, because of the identity of the creditor, the other party still looked a little ignorant, but Lily, who stayed in the half-race association, was actually very boring, and she didn't want to pay attention to her peers, and felt very naïve.
Older than her, but unwilling to take care of her.
So after coming and going, Mellen, the eldest child who was willing to pay attention to her, became the object of her daily chat.
But small talk is small talk, every time she mentions the matter of repaying the money, she disappears in an instant, and she looks like don't mention money to me, and I will ignore you when you mention money.
It's just that unlike her attitude in the past, this situation will only last for a while, and she won't be able to endure it for long, and she will take the initiative to send a message to Mellen.
"You're not going to be in trouble, are you, Meren?"
Alyssa also sent a message.
She is also Mellen's long-term fixed "netizen", and compared with meeting "offline", the two talk much more in the Book of Secret Words.
"It's Felix who is in trouble."
Melen comforted: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me. ”
"But I see someone in the school throwing dirty water on you."
The girl obviously did not let go of her worries, "You said that the thief shouted to catch the thief, and took the initiative to report after killing Lambert." ”
"Ignore this rumor."
Mellen didn't care, "A fool would believe these words." ”
There are indeed such rumors in the school, and it is also said that this is because Melen is tired of Lambert always talking about his own bloodline, so he simply killed him after meeting him in the morning, and with the authority of the heir, others can't do anything about him.
Sounds pretty plausible.
But as the last paragraph of this rumor says, even if the murderer is really Meren, others can't do anything about him.
First, there is no evidence, and second, even if there is evidence, he can't be arrested.
But it is precisely because of this that if there is no clue about the real murderer in the future, everyone's suspicious eyes may really be put here for Mellen.
So the people who walk this rumor are not actually doing useless work.
However, the rumor-mongers obviously do not know one truth, that is, more do more wrong.
As the heir, Mellen has a feature that few others know about, and that is that he can set taboo topics within the boundaries of Fort Grant.
He can limit what he can say and what he can't say.
The effect is a sensitive word.
Similar to the sensitive words in his previous life, he can also set the situation after others trigger the sensitive words.
Whether to be "banned", punished, or "concerned" is all up to Mellen.
He has long set all the bad words related to himself and those close to him as sensitive words, and all the people who live in the school belong to the supervision, including the principal.
So when the rumor first appeared, Mellen had already retrieved who the maker of the rumor was.
Strange to say, this man turned out to be one of the doppelgangers of the gatekeeper Prescott, the other Holy Spirit Jonah.
Originally, it belonged to a friendly army, but I don't know why it suddenly jumped back.
Therefore, he is currently in the stage of observing the other party, and he has not acted rashly.
……
As the object of observation, Deledon actually knew that he had attracted the attention of the heir.
But he had expected it.
In other words, his purpose in spreading rumors is not to cause trouble for the heir, but to make him pay attention to himself.
The reason is simple - self-help.
As one of the doppelgangers of Goalkeeper Prescott, Dryden is trying to find a way to save Jonah, another missing doppelgänger, but he has nothing to think about.
But in addition to this identity, he actually has another identity.
That is Alfred, the former demon king imprisoned by the heirs.
