Chapter 19 The East Court Murder Case
Blood-red velvet carpet, wood grain, gold-edged candlelight lamp posts, and walls are covered with ebony wooden boards. In the extremely layered wall shape, famous oil paintings are mounted, all of which are great figures who have been doing well in the palace after graduating from Flange Academy.
The deep corridor cannot see the end, and I can only see the students from the Flange Academy downstairs in a hurry and hurriedly from the side window.
The crooked setting sun shot in, and the dirty yellow and red twilight seemed to flow out of the stained drain pipe, which was filled with turbid pus that bubbled and swollen the body.
"What is a special day for the Kingdom of Nord? Or is it a special day that belongs only to the Academy?"
Russell's back was straightened ninety degrees, and his steps were filled with the oppression of the superiors. He glanced at the clothes worn by these students. The men were all silk robes and the women were all luxurious long skirts, which forced him to think of this. Logically speaking, these young people should wear the unified wizard apprentice burqa of the academy.
The airship was parked in a field not far from the academy. Russell Defne and the guard were visiting the Flange Academy General Hospital under the reception of the female. The chef was not so lucky and guarded the airship alone.
"How did you know that Lord Messenger? You are here really time. Today is a big day. It happened to be the anniversary celebration of Flan College. Students from the three branches will also come to the main college today. However,... Lord Messenger is not the time. Some terrible things have happened to the college recently, which may affect your visiting experience."
The woman in charge of the reception was a hot, young and beautiful female teacher. She obviously had a strong interest in Russell. She often posed at Russell and teased her hair. Defne scoffed at him, trying to hook up with Russell, these tricks were far from enough.
"Oh? How scary?"
If Russell is right, the woman will tell you below that a goblin appeared in the Flange Academy inexplicably, and then quickly got rid of it, trying to catch herself off guard.
However, the fact is not as Russell thought.
"The East Part Hospital... There were consecutive murders, among which the most students were killed in the Fire Law System. Not only that, female students were disfigured one after another, some were cut by blades hidden in towels, and some were replaced with corrosive acids, causing large-scale burns on the skin."
The female teacher had an ominous premonition. Fortunately, the students who died were not born in famous families. Most of them were descendants of merchants or barons. With Sennheiser's famous name, they could still be suppressed. Compensation for some pensions can be done. But if it was the turn of the Earl Marquis' children one day, it would be a big deal.
Russell frowned. This matter became increasingly difficult. It seemed that even the top leaders of the Nord Kingdom who used the experiment were hidden from the Goblins. It was not a public research, and it was extremely private. Regarding this matter, according to Russell's inference, in addition to the rumors circulating among adventurers and some unknown sources, there were very few people who knew about it. The senior officials who were responsible for signing their customs clearance documents must have felt a sense of crisis after they came here. After inquiring around, they learned about this matter. Most of the female receptionists were not aware of it, and they had to look for the breakthrough.
"Disfied? If the target of attack is indiscriminate, people who will develop this kind of revenge mentality. You can quickly find the prisoner by attacking people who are not good-looking or those who are bullied on campus."
Russell took out a cigarette and lit it in public without caring about other people's eyes. A woman is so ugly that she can't live without a beautiful appearance.
"Isn't it a bit too arbitrary to say this?"
The distance between the female teacher and Russell has been closely connected to the point where she is now separated by an elbow, and I don’t agree with Russell’s statement.
"I guess those dead students should have a common feature. Is the body preserved intact? There is no sign of abuse, it seems that the prisoner is kind."
The strong smoke spun around Russell's lungs for a long time, and was vomited out in one breath. Russell felt that his mental state was getting much better.
"How did you know?"
The female teacher was shocked. She had just had a brief conversation with the envoy of the neighboring country. Obviously... this man is not a small character.
"Only people who live in a state of depression for a long time will do this, because they are often excluded and discriminated against. His technique is like a precise knife that has been accumulated for a long time, killing a person with one blow, a simple throat slit, or piercing the temples and eyebrows, and there are only a few wounds."
Russell explained without emotion.
The female teacher was completely impressed by Russell's wisdom because it was indeed the case.
"So, do the prisoners also hope that they will die more happily? It seems that there is no cure..."
"You are wrong, you are completely wrong. You don't understand what I mean at all. If it was just an impulse crime, then the body would definitely be extremely dirty. The situation now is even more terrifying. That person has an extremely meticulous plan and a cold mind as cold as winter. If your reconnaissance methods are all this, I believe that the prisoner will never be found in your life."
Russell poured a small sip of wine, and the unpleasant smell of alcohol made the female teacher a little drunk.
"But...you are so sure that the prisoner must be a cowardly child with a bad appearance?"
Female teachers cannot agree with this. Appearance will only make people look at it more, and inner self will make people look at it higher. This is more important.
Bang!
As soon as he turned around, Russell pressed one hand against the wall, blocking the female teacher's way. The unpleasant smell of cigarettes and alcohol reached the female teacher's nose at this time, but under Russell's handsome appearance, the smell... only made Russell look more masculine.
The sudden behavior made the female teacher blush.
"Sir...you..."
The female teacher was a little confused and too close, as if Russell was about to kiss him, but his heart was full of expectation and excitement.
"Only superficial people will not judge people by their appearance. No matter whether they are kind, evil, noble and dirty, they will see their appearance with their own eyes. This is a fact."
"And...and what?"
"It's like a snowball. When you are seen at first, you are loved by others. He will learn to understand and tolerate, and will feel deeper in the relationship afterwards. When you are seen at first, you will be alienated by others. You will only fall deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of claustrophobia, become more violent and irritable, and resent others. Ugly people are not necessarily evil, but evil people are very likely to be ugly. This is the fact, it's cruel, right?"
Yes, even if Russell said such ruthless words, his indigo-green eyes were like this, striking and fascinating.
Defney was so scared by this sentence that she took out the small mirror she carried with her from her handbag, looked at the face in the mirror and shook her head, and finally showed a beautiful smile.
"Celebration... The celebration is about to begin. The dean asked me to take two of you to take the seats and choose the best position for you."
The female teacher walked around Russell's hand that blocked the way and walked forward in a hurry.
After Defney closed the mirror, she rolled her eyes at Russell: "In your words, you should also learn to understand and tolerate, but why are you so maverick?"
Russell hissed a mouthful of cigarettes, then exhaled from his nose, and said indifferently: "It is precisely because I understand too much that this is the problem."
"Haha, do you want to show that you are too handsome? This is the truth."
Defney smiled so hard that her branches were trembling, while Russell was still the dead face.
"Ignorance."
