Chapter 75: Resistance

On the list, there were many people who went to the material library in those three days, most of them were teachers and students of the non-commissioned officer school, after all, a lot of alchemy materials were used in the training course.

But there are very few visitors to the West End who have collected high-end materials, and all of them are acquaintances Charlotte knows:

On the White Rose side, there are Eugene, Milos, and Sanda, and on the Mounties side, there are Marco, Paul, and Buck.

There is also Professor Jeffrey from the Non-commissioned Officer School.

Paul, the deputy head of the 3rd Division of the Mounted Police, appears on the list, especially to Charlotte's surprise.

He remembered that when he went to investigate the scene of Scott's death, Paul appeared there without warning, and he felt very delicate at the time, and now the sight of this person on the list deepened his doubts.

But in the spirit of seriousness, Charlotte decided to investigate all of them to see if they had alibi at the time of the crime.

In the next two days, Charlotte preliminarily figured out their whereabouts at the time of the crime through open and secret visits and investigations:

The commander of the mounted police, Marco, did not stay at the school on the night of 27 August, but went to the Baronial Frank palace to make a regular report, about which the janitor of the non-commissioned officer school can testify.

At the time of the crime, Eugene, the head of the White Rose, was working in his office in the central teaching tower, and his guards were available to testify.

Professor Jeffrey conducts research in the dome classroom at the top of the teaching tower, and his students can testify.

Milos is training with his teammates at the event building for next month's Flying Badminton Festival, and he and his teammates can testify to each other.

It's Sanda......

He was on the third floor of the martial arts training building that day, on the same floor as Scotter.

In fact, in order to prevent any accidents during martial arts training, the non-commissioned officer school stipulates that every floor must have guards to prevent emergencies.

Sanda was the guard on duty that day, but because of a sudden fire in the material warehouse, he and the others left his duty post to put out the fire, and the warehouse manager could testify for him.

Charlotte suddenly realized that the purpose of this fire may be to lure guards like Sanda away, otherwise they would have been able to rush in and stop the bloodclaw frostwolf in the early stage of its madness, and Scott might not have died.

It's no wonder that when Sanda first met him, he blamed himself and said, "I killed Big Brother Scott."

The only two who did not have an alibi were Paul and Barker.

Buck has been arrested, so there is no need to rush for the time being, the immediate priority is to find out where Paul was at that time.

After Charlotte informs Fina of her analysis, Fina decides to take him and the White Roses to check on Paul.

When he found Paul inside the school, he was training his men.

When he learned of Charlotte's intentions, Paul's face was filled with resistance and anger:

"Okay, Charlotte, I didn't expect that in just a few days at the non-commissioned officer school, you have been so arrogant and unsightly?

Who am I? I am the deputy head of the 3rd Mounted Police Regiment in charge of Fangcao Town, a senior officer who reports directly to the head of the Marko regiment. ”

Charlotte's face was as usual: "Why is Mr. Paul so excited, you just need to move your mouth and tell us where you went that night, and you don't lose anything." ”

"I ......"

Paul's voice froze, and a hint of panic appeared on his face, but it was quickly muffled by his feigned anger.

But this detail has long been captured by Charlotte, who had seen similar panic in Buck's eyes.

"What are you guys, if you want me to say it, I'll have to say it?"

"Mr. Paul, we have a mandate from the Joint Investigation Mission." Fina retorted coldly.

"The Joint Investigation Team is a piece of, you couldn't help but talk about arresting Buck last time, and now the Mounted Police Corps won't give you any more chance. If you're interested, let Buck go as soon as possible, lest Captain Marko and Baron Frank get in trouble with you.

I'll tell you, your White Rose's recent activities in Frank's territory have been a bit overstepping, and Lord Baron has long been a little unhappy, if you don't know how to converge, hehe......"

When Paul took out the name of "Baron Frank", the momentum of many young white rose knights suddenly weakened a little.

Baron Frank, the smiling baron, the cruel tyrant who rules Frank's realm, an existence that even White Rose fears.

When Paul was angry, his men began to pour in droves to support their boss.

Fina only brought single-digit knights, and her momentum was instantly compared, so she had to temporarily retreat with her subordinates.

"Mr. Charlotte, what are we going to do now?"

Fina had a sad face, even if Paul was really one of the suspects, the identities of the two sides were a bit different, and the progress of the investigation was stuck here.

Charlotte decides to go to Captain Eugene for help.

……

In the central teaching tower, Eugene is reviewing documents in his office.

"Mr. Eugene, I need to request a search warrant from you."

"Oh?" Eugene stopped the pen in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Recently, who has our probationary knight who is in the limelight, is it eyeing again?" ”

"Paul."

Charlotte's face was expressionless.

"When we investigated him, he refused to cooperate in any way, so I wanted to take a search warrant to search his residence, and this level of search was only sufficient with a search warrant signed by Mr. Eugene."

Eugene's expression changed.

"Do you know what that means that Buck is still being held in our White Rose's interrogation room, and you're going to search the home of a deputy head of the mounted police?"

Charlotte judged from Eugene's hesitant look that the previous arrest of Buck had put Eugene under a lot of pressure on Baron Frank's side.

But if he wants to smoothly transition from a probationary knight to a regular player, no matter what the suspects, he needs to find out.

Right now, it's up to enough chips to shake Eugene.

He recalled the joy on Eugene's face when he found out that he could probe the flow of aether on the day of the Cadet Knight's test, and said:

"Mr. Eugene, if my guess is correct, your aether cultivation is now hitting a bottleneck, right?"

Eugene nodded in surprise.

He had been stagnant since his first glimpse of Sequence 8 many years ago.

The higher the level of the ether sequence, the higher the requirements for the "Psychics" ability of the Chosen One. Diria is full of aether, and the Chosen One cultivates, essentially cultivating the invocation of aether.

"Perhaps...... I can give you some tips, of course, all of this will have to wait until I successfully solve the case and stay here before I can cash it in. ”

The corners of Charlotte's mouth curled.
