Old housekeeper Maude still couldn't understand why so many people were looking at him, but he didn't have time to think about it, but his eyes swept over the venue, and finally landed on a seat in the front row.

Catherine was sitting there at this time

"Miss! Brought! ”

As he spoke, he trotted over with the little pet in his arms.

In the process, everyone finally saw the appearance of the little pet, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because it's not a pet, it's a demon. It's just that it's very small, only more than half a meter long, and it has thick fluff on its body, and its head is round and cute, but it has no eyes.

But no one cares about that, demons, anything can look like.

Catherine heard the voice of the old butler, looked back, and when she saw the little devil he was holding, a sudden trace of extremely complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.

She held out her hand:

"Tap."

She said for some reason, and then carefully took the little devil, as if she was afraid of startling it.

But what makes everyone even more strange is that this demon seems to be exceptionally well-behaved, and ordinary demons will definitely not want to be held, but the one in front of him didn't even roar or leak out of its fangs when it was passed to each other, but just twisted slightly, making some inexplicable humming sounds.

Catherine held the demon in her arms and calmed it a little, and when it stopped trembling, she exhaled slowly, and then raised her eyes

At this moment, this woman, who looked like a bit of a lady's demeanor, was inexplicable, revealing a strong killing intent, and her eyes looked at Vice Dean Hall on the stage.

And Vice President Holke also happened to look over at this time.

No one knew why the butler suddenly rushed in with a demon in his arms, no one knew what this demon had to do with the case, and no one knew why Vice Dean Holker had to look at this demon for so long, until his eyes flashed and met Catherine's murderous gaze, and then he suddenly came to his senses, and then turned his head evasively.

"What? Nervous? ”

Seeing his panicked look, Sherlock said with a smile.

"I don't understand what you mean, but I've been here for too long, and there are countless things waiting for me to deal with every day in the Life Science Institute, and I don't have time to mess around with you anymore."

As he spoke, he made a gesture to get up and leave.

However, in the next second, a large hand thicker than his shoulders pressed him back into his seat.

"Mr. Defendant, as the captain of the Imperial Investigation Group, I also have the obligation of a bailiff here, and now that the judge has not said that the court is adjourned, you want to leave generously, isn't it a bit inappropriate."

Tobias suddenly appeared behind the vice dean at some point, and said in an extremely cold tone.

A hint of determination flashed in Holke's eyes: "Heh, you guys. Okay, I'll sit down for a while, but I also hope that you don't think you have enough authority to mess around here, and if you can't give a reasonable explanation in the end, I'll sue you as the vice president of the School of Life Sciences! Even if it's to the Pope! Sue the Emperor! I'm going to get justice for myself, too! ”

"Of course, it's your right." Hopkins tilted his head slightly, looking at the other party condescendingly, he was still in a three-minded posture just now, and at this time his eyes showed absolute majesty, and the most obvious disgust: "It won't be long before this trial will end, please don't be impatient."

Holke's heart was pounding, and he had to admit that he was finally a little nervous now, but reason repeatedly emphasized in his mind, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Even if they all find out, so what, they don't have evidence!

Thereupon!

"Good!" He said sharply: "But again, as the current top person in charge of the Academy of Life Sciences, my time is not something that can be wasted casually, so. I'll give you another half hour! ”

"Enough, enough~" Sherlock said very easily, "Then let's talk about the case."

In the last two years of Professor Darwin, due to Duncan's disappearance, he had no choice but to continue to participate in the training of [Crimson] as an experimental subject, but as I said before, he is a very talented person, so he can soon control Crimson to perform many difficult behaviors, and even fight.

In order to better record the experimental data, Professor Darwin deployed a third-order demon named [Hound Dog] and practiced with it to a certain extent, after all, the ultimate purpose of this experiment is to let these demons have stable combat effectiveness and put them on the battlefield on the front line.

As for the fact that the result was very successful, after two years of combat training, the old dean already had absolute confidence! He knew that his experiment had been successful, and that the demon he was controlling matched all the data perfectly.

So, three months ago, for the first time in more than 30 years, he finally sent some messages to the outside world, ready to show the results of his experiments!

But. It was at this time that Duncan, who had disappeared for more than two years, came back."

Sherlock's tone suddenly became a little higher:

"No, it shouldn't be said that he came back, but that he never left.

He's actually been here all the time

You didn't hide him, you didn't transport him out, you didn't give him a wad of money, and you didn't let him hide in a rare place to live secretly; In fact, since the day he disappeared, you have never had any contact with this person, and even Duncan himself has no contact with this society.

To be honest, I really admire you, we have the most professional clue collector in our reconnaissance team, but when tracking down Duncan, he has doubts about his own ability!

A person, as long as he lives, will definitely leave some traces

Even if this person is locked up, someone will be responsible for delivering food to him, and even if he is anesthetized and stuffed into some life-support device, the number of oxygen tubes consumed and the nutrient solution delivered every day will definitely leak some horses' feet.

No one can really disappear.

And you, with such a simple and cruel method, have achieved it! ”

Sherlock's words sounded like praise and appreciation, but when he said them, he was so cold that he didn't even look at the most vicious criminals.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the cute-looking . But in fact, it was so tragic that it was terrible for the little demon, and the tone and speed of speech finally dropped a little:

"Duncan, that's it, alive until now."
