In Zheng Qing’s second week at school, a second-degree murder occurred on the shore of Linzhong Lake.
A white short-haired cat that had not yet been weaned had its neck bones broken, and the murderer also cruelly gouged out two of the kitten's eyes. And for some unknown reason, the kitten's body was left on the tall rockery by the lake.
It took almost a whole day.
After nearly a month of investigation, the school finally concluded that the kitten was killed by a kappa in Linzhong Lake - no doubt, this conclusion is not that convincing. But the school does not need to let the students
Be convinced. The school only needs one conclusion.
After all, it's just a kitten that was just a few months old, and the professors also confirmed that this kitten was not transformed by some bored wizard using transfiguration. In addition, there have been a lot of chores in the school's internal affairs recently.
, so the staff responsible for the investigation of the school working committee muddle along and hastily closed the case.
It has to be said that this operation of the school is in line with the wishes of many people - investigators from the Wizards Union do not want a wild cat to affect the relationship between the Union and First University; reporters outside the school prefer stories with a conclusion.
, rather than those baseless speculations; as for the students of the school, their attention has long been completely diverted by the sandworm, the resurgence of silence months in advance, and the month-long 'College Cup' hunting competition.
In just the past month, most people in the school have completely forgotten about the kitten whose neck was torn off and whose eyes were gouged out. Occasionally, someone passes by the rockery and pretends to put down a few dry plants.
Daisy, but it's just to attract other people's attention and win a little reputation for herself.
Except Jiang Yu.
Ever since he knew that Jiang Yu had raised the kitten privately, as a friend, Zheng Qing couldn't help but subconsciously pay attention to this matter. So he knew that Jiang Yu often took time after school and weekends to go to Shushan Hall
She consulted the files of similar cases; she often went to the school working committee to apply for access to the investigation data of the school workers; more than once, she was found quietly standing under the rockery stone, silently mourning the death of her friends.
Girls are always more sentimental, and maybe after a while, she will look away. The young public-funded student told himself this in his heart.
However, nearly two months later, when Jiang Yu revealed the reason why she practiced transfiguration, Zheng Qing immediately realized that she had not let go of that matter.
"I thought you were just planning to preview senior courses in advance and try to graduate early." The young public-sponsored student looked at the witch in shock and murmured: "This idea of yours is too dangerous..."
"I also have this consideration," Jiang Yu raised her head, threw her long hair behind her, and looked at the wizard with burning eyes: "So you will support me, right?"
Zheng Qing was suffocated by the witch's gaze.
A few weeks ago, he had seen Jiang Yu in the classroom borrowing many reference books related to transfiguration; the last time she transformed into a cat, she and Li Meng had discussed a mysterious plan under the shade of a tree; and then
Today, not long ago, the young public-funded student witnessed Dr. Duzem handing her a small bottle of translucent liquid and heard them talking about certain keywords of 'targeted transformation'.
Based on these conditions and referring to what Jiang Yu wanted to do most, Zheng Qing could easily deduce her plan - it was nothing more than turning into a kitten and then waiting for the killer to appear in Linzhong Lake again and commit another crime.
.
"No, no, no, it's too dangerous!" Thinking of this, Zheng Qing suddenly woke up and shook her head vigorously, trying to get her terrible plan out of her head.
Then he looked at Jiang Yu seriously and emphasized in a serious tone: "The professors will not agree to your plan!"
"I didn't intend to let them know at first." After realizing the wizard's objection, the witch curled her lips, turned around and walked out of the alley. At the same time, she said nonchalantly: "...you won't tell them a secret, will you?"
Zheng Qing shook his head subconsciously, but then he came to his senses.
"Don't let them know?" the poor public-funded student exclaimed: "If you don't let them know, how can you ensure your safety when facing the murderer? You know, after the transformation, you are just a slightly smarter ordinary animal!
You need very reliable backup!"
"Mengmeng promised to help me." The witch replied briefly.
"Li Meng?" Zheng Qing almost laughed out loud at this answer: "You asked that little girl to stay vigil at Linzhong Lake all night? Aren't you afraid that she will faint again?"
"Isn't there still you?" Jiang Yu tilted her head and glanced at the wizard: "Your hunting team occasionally trains at night... isn't it enough to have a hunting team that ranks first in the freshman competition to help? Besides,
I just gave you a very powerful rune gun!"
These remarks left the young public-funded student speechless.
While talking, the two of them had already reached the middle of the pedestrian street. Because today is the weekend and it is evening again. In a while, Astronomy Class 08-1 will have a weekly class meeting. After calculating the time, the two simply
I had a light meal at a small restaurant on the pedestrian street and planned to go straight to the meeting after a while.
From leaving the alley, to having dinner, to arriving at 601 East of the teaching building, for more than an hour, Zheng Qing had been trying to persuade Jiang Yu to give up her stupid plan.
Not surprisingly, his suggestion was ignored by the witch.
It wasn't until he entered the classroom and faced Jiang Yu's repeated warning glances that Zheng Qing had to stop persuading him and parted ways dejectedly at the door of the classroom.
"Why, Concubine Yu is angry with you?" Fatty Xin, who was sitting at the back of the classroom helping to occupy a seat, looked at the wizard walking weakly and said with a low voice.
"What a mess!" Zheng Qing slapped the fat man on the head and sighed: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten by her if you speak so freely? Do you still remember how she dealt with that gorilla..."
Fatty Xin smacked his lips and slowly squirmed back to his seat.
"You came back a little late today," Xiao Xiao asked without raising his head after Zheng Qing sat down, "What did the wandering wizard say?"
"No problem, the old man agreed." The young public-sponsored student slapped his desk on the desk and replied hummingly: "In addition, I sold him all the hunts from the hunting competition - this is also the condition for his help.
One - in short, the profit is good, and everyone can share a share later."
"You are the captain, and you decide this kind of thing yourself." Xiao Xiao finally raised his head and reminded: "However, you got those prey by yourself... I don't recommend that you divide them equally."
"Equal distribution?!" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and snorted: "What are you thinking! All this money belongs to the hunting team...the company's capital! How can there be an equal distribution..."
