Chapter 430 The Third Murderer

Edward's face was particularly ugly, and his clenched fists couldn't help shaking.

At that time, the hunting team he belonged to fell into the vicious trap set by Little Jack. Except for him and Martin Smith who escaped by chance, the rest of the teammates were killed.

In the subsequent escape process, Edward even experienced a nightmare. He broke into Little Jack's lair in a panic and fell into the opponent's claws again. Under the butcher's knife of Little Jack.

Now that he heard the name of this perverted murderer again, and the other party was also suspected of murdering Rawls's mentor, Edward couldn't help being emotional, and asked Xiao Miao through gritted teeth: "How can I find 'Spring Heeled' Jack!"

"Edward, don't be impulsive. Little Jack alone may not be able to handle even the wooden golem, let alone assassinate Mentor Rawls. Now we need to find out the identities of his two accomplices, meow Sister, what do you think?" Thomas looked at Miaomiao.

"When it comes to Little Jack, one cannot help but think of his inseparable old partner 'Big Jack', also known as 'Jack the Ripper', this monster is far more powerful than Little Jack, and I doubt he is involved This murder."

Xiao Miao stroked her tail and said with a wry smile: "As for the last murderer, his identity cannot be judged from his footprints alone. Since he walked very close to Brother Jack, as the so-called 'smelly like', this person is probably also a murderer." A perverted killer, maybe even stronger than Brother Jack."

"Sister Meow, maybe I can give you some clues about the identity of the third murderer." Qiao An said suddenly.

"Joan, tell me what you found?" Xiao Miao asked with great interest.

Under everyone's gaze, Joan took out a glass bottle from his coat pocket and handed it to Xiao Miao.

"There were two things in the bottle, which I had just discovered in front of the broken window-pane, the tawny waxy debris probably being beeswax, and two dead wasps."

"Beeswax and wasp corpses...what can this explain?" Rebecca asked puzzledly, "there are many flower beds on campus, and there are often bee swarms, and it is not worthwhile for one or two to fly into the laboratory window once in a while." Make a fuss."

"It's not strange to appear in other places, but it's not normal to appear in Rawls Laboratory."

Joan analyzed calmly.

"Kino will clean the laboratory thoroughly every night, and wipe the window sill spotlessly, so it is impossible for beeswax and wasp carcasses to appear on the window sill of the laboratory before Kino was demolished—that is, before the night of the crime. Judging by the dryness of the wasp's carcass, it has been dead for at least three days."

"It has been raining for two days after the incident. Based on this calculation, the wasps could only enter the laboratory on the night of the incident."

"As we all know, wasps are almost never active at night. Why did these two wasps fly into the laboratory at the top of the 100-foot tower at night, and finally died on the window sill?"

Joan's question caused everyone to fall into deep thought, until Teacher Benny broke the silence first.

"Since the wasp is unlikely to fly into the laboratory in the middle of the night for no reason, it can only be brought in by the murderer. Speaking of the wasp, do you still remember the person we have been tracking down for the past six months?"

"'Shepherd'!" Xiao Meow jumped up excitedly, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, it must be this crazy cultist! 'Brother Jack' and 'Shepherd' belong to the same 'primitive sect', they The relationship between them is very close, and there is a possibility of joint murder!"

"If the third murderer is the shepherd, it can explain why the murderer left the mark of our Sons of Liberty association at the scene of the crime."

Mr. Benny stared at the glass bottle containing beeswax and wasp carcasses, his eyes became particularly sharp.

"Since the pest plague broke out in the Yalfheim area this spring, we have suspected that the shepherd is the mastermind behind the spread of the disaster. We used the intelligence network of the association to carry out a comprehensive tracking of him, and we had many conflicts with him. He has a grudge against our association, that's why he deliberately left our monogram to frame and frame us after murdering Master Rawls, and take revenge on us!"

Teacher Benny's speculation sounds reasonable, but there is still one thing Joan can't figure out.

"Assuming that the murderer is the Shepherd and Brother Jack, what is their motive for murdering Mentor Rawls? Whether it is the primitive religious group or the murderer himself, there is no grievance between Mentor Rawls and I can't figure it out. There is no reason to murder Mentor Rawls."

"The murderer's motive is indeed a mystery. We shouldn't limit our perspective to Master Rawls. A professor was also killed that night. It is said that the crime took place in the laboratory next door. We'd better go there to investigate, maybe we can get More clues about the killer and his motives."

Xiao Miao's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and the question now is how to enter another murder scene, which is Walter Lee's laboratory.

"The policemen guarding the 'air ladder' are easy to get rid of, and they can be settled with a few small money. The problem is what to do after getting on the 'air ladder'? We don't have the key to the door of Li's laboratory. If we forcefully pick the lock to get in, the police will I'm afraid it's hard to explain." Thomas frowned.

"It's not difficult to solve. I know Martin Smith, a student of Walter Lee. He has the key to the door of Li's laboratory in his hand. Just ask him to come over and open the door for us."

Edward quickly made a spell-casting gesture, and cast the 2-ring "Wind News" to ask Martin to meet him quickly with the key.

Everyone went downstairs and waited for a few minutes in the lobby on the first floor, when they saw Martin's figure hurriedly approaching from afar.

"Edward, what's the rush to find me?"

Martin still looked prematurely decrepit, pale and listless, and his receding hairline could no longer be concealed by the deliberately forward combed hairstyle.

"Joan, Thomas and a few friends and I are tracking down the murderer who murdered Mentor Rawls and Master Li. Now we are going to the scene of Master Li's murder for on-the-spot investigation. I need to borrow your key." Edward held out his hand to Martin .

Martin held the key in his jacket pocket with his right hand, and asked hesitantly, "Just hand over the murder case to the police for investigation. Why do you bother to get involved? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Thomas glared at him angrily. "It was our mentor who was killed. Of course we have an obligation to find out the truth and avenge the teacher! After all, Walter Lee died for no apparent reason. As the student who has followed him for the longest time, you are indifferent to the death of the teacher, it is a bit too cold-blooded, I have to suspect that you have an ulterior connection with this murder!"
