The management officer was confused: "The warehouses have been replaced by ether energy lamps, and there are still candles for lighting." ”

Charlotte nodded, and then began to investigate the material warehouse on her own.

The rest of the people looked at each other, hadn't they already caught the murderer? But they had to keep up.

The alchemy material library is divided into two areas, east and west, and the location where they were just now is the west area, and between the two areas, there is an iron door blocking them.

"Does anyone usually enter or leave this iron gate?"

"No, because the area to the west is stored with some rare alchemy products with very high practicality, so this door will be locked normally, and those who need the materials inside can apply to the steward in advance, because only the steward has the key in his hand."

"Is the meat of the tyrannical giant crocodile here?"

"No, that kind of thing is stored in the East End, after all, it is a primary material, and its value is relatively low."

Charlotte nodded and continued walking, quickly spotting something unusual in the area ahead.

The aisle between the two storage warehouses in the eastern area has produced a large number of flame marks, many brick walls have been blackened by smoke, and the copper window frames have been burned and deformed, leaving a huge gap in the windows.

"...... this?"

Charlotte frowned.

The administrator quickly explained to him that on the night of August 27, the day of Scott's murder, the eastern part of the material library was on fire, and the surrounding students rushed to put out the fire, causing a lot of commotion at that time.

Some students at the scene remembered the events of that night, adding: "I could see it from the window of the room where I lived, when the fire was so big that the fog went straight to the sky. ”

Another student added: "That night, there were also earthquakes caused by monsters from time to time in the Pam Meadows, and I thought it was Griffin's monster tribe that had broken through the southern defense line of Sophia's army and hit Frank to bring it." ”

The management officer smiled and said, "It stands to reason that Mr. Marco is responsible for the handling of all emergencies in the non-commissioned officer school. But that night, he went to the Baron's Mansion to present his monthly periodic report, so he was not at school.

However, soon, our warehouse management put out the fire, and although there was chaos, the loss was not large. The thieves who set the fire only had time to go in and steal a potion of health and mana. ”

Charlotte knew in her heart that the finished alchemy products were also divided into different grades according to their functions.

Potions such as short-term health recovery are considered the most basic products; Energy potions are more valuable; And further up, there are all kinds of alchemy elixirs that can temporarily increase the upper limit of physical ability, such as the "Wild Frost Wolf Elixir" that Charlotte got before, which is a rare three-star prop.

The management officer rubbed his hands diligently and said flatteringly:

"After Mr. Scott was killed, the Joint Investigation Team also came to investigate the fire, but found no clues, and now that Mr. Buck has been arrested, it is time to properly examine his connection to the fire, all of which is the credit of Mr. Charlotte."

The reason why the management officer was busy cooperating with Charlotte's investigation, diligently helping to prepare the flushing room and candle leather whip, and even making up two sycophants like this from time to time, was because he was an old fritter who had mixed up with the rivers and lakes.

On the day of the apprentice knight assessment, he could see that Captain Eugene paid attention to this junior. Eugene is one of the two giants of the non-commissioned officer school, and he curries favor with Charlotte in the hope of bringing benefits to himself in the future.

He even took the initiative to tear open the seal of the overheated warehouse and invite Charlotte to enter the investigation.

For such hospitality, Charlotte remembered it in her heart and thanked Bumin.

The fire area inside the warehouse is much smaller, and the damage is really not large.

Charlotte looked around, observing every detail in the room, and soon noticed that the southwest corner of the wall was significantly more burned and blackened than the others.

There is a clutter pile of discarded potion boxes. Charlotte rummaged through it in a boring way, but to no avail.

Just as he was about to get up to leave, his pupils suddenly constricted when he caught a glimpse of the remains of the most inconspicuous small wooden box in the clutter pile.

Because the nameplate on the lid of the wooden box is impressively engraved:

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."

He suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and hurriedly walked over to open the wooden box.

The wooden box had been burned by the fire at this time, and inside were some empty alchemy potion bottles, judging by the slogans on the bottles, they were all potions that temporarily weakened their abilities and breath.

These potions have a strategic value for deceiving opponents when they need to hide their strength for a short time.

Covered by the potion bottles was a silver-white metal candlestick with half-burned candles stuck in it.

Next to the candlestick, there are strange metal wires and components connected to broken ether transistors.

This strange contraption is clearly not what the box should have contained.

It turns out that the clues in the phantom glass world are not only candles and fires, but even the slogans on the stone tablets!

When Charlotte carefully took out the things, the audience was suddenly in a sensation, and the knights of the White Rose suddenly tensed up in their originally relaxed expressions.

A knight stepped forward: "Mr. Charlotte, do you need me to bring this device to Buck and ask him about it?" ”

Charlotte shook her head: "Don't alarm him yet, you continue to interrogate according to the original plan, and then send me the interrogation record." ”

It is the experience of detective science that it is best not to inform the suspect of any progress in the investigation if it is not until the bargaining stage of the final conviction.

The most important thing Charlotte needs to figure out at the moment is how this seemingly delicate and complex candlestick mechanism works, what is the detailed plan for its use?

To say that in the entire non-commissioned officer school, most of the professors specialize in a certain direction related to the work of non-commissioned officers, and only Professor Jeffrey is a geek who teaches a little bit of astronomy, geography and mechanical knowledge, so Charlotte thought of him for the first time.

He and Ilya soon came to the top floor of the central teaching tower, and at the corner of the corridor he met a student of a certain professor, who greeted him politely:

"Mr. Charlotte, are you here to see Professor Jeffrey, he's out of school today, and he's ......"

He cautiously looked at the classroom not far behind him, "You'd better not go near this classroom today. ”

With that, he fled in a panic.

“？？？”

Charlotte was about to open her mouth to ask clearly, when suddenly, in the classroom at the end of the corridor, a young man's angry voice was heard:

"Get out of the way, the woman will only affect the speed of my repair!"

The roar echoed and spread between the buildings, shaking people dizzy and tinnitus.
