Sorry, I'm a little late."
The little girl pursed her lips tightly and looked at Cheng Shi. After looking at him for a while, she chose to believe him.
"Then Mr. Grindel, may I ask if you know anyone who has the ability to turn into a poker card? Even if you know where he belongs to, that would be great."
"I'm sorry, young lady. My knowledge is limited, but I think there are sufficient reasons behind every murder. Whoever least wants Mr. Serius to be alive is most likely the murderer."
The little girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"You mean... the people from the Tower of Reason found this place and killed Grandpa Serius?"
"Uh..." Cheng Shi was stunned, then nodded, "Well, to be honest, I don't know everything here, but if the Tower of Principle and Nature you are talking about is the Tower of Principle and Nature that I understand, then I can only say that it is very likely.
Because the learned chairman will not allow the scholars of the Tower of Reason and Quality to use the "truth" they have learned to serve others. They have sufficient means and sufficient reasons. "
"Well, thank you, thank you Mr. Grinde, but Punishment Knights are not allowed to come here. I suggest you leave immediately and explain the situation to Aunt Melina who is guarding the laboratory gate. She will help you leave here and return to your post."
"You...let me go?"
"You don't want to leave?"
Hiss, quite interesting, it seems this little girl knows a lot.
How dare she let me go without asking any questions?
"Think, Melina...Okay, thanks, in that case I'll be leaving now."
Cheng Shi turned around and left without hesitation, but as soon as he raised his leg, the little girl behind him called him.
"Um...Mr. Grindel, could you please leave the murder weapon behind? I think the Iron Knights who will come later may need it during their investigation."
"......"
The little brat has sharp eyes.
"Sorry, I forgot because I was nervous." Cheng Shi put on a smile, pulled out a brand new scalpel from his sleeve, then secretly smeared some blood on the concentric dagger and placed it on the table instead of the real weapon.
The little girl looked at him quietly without saying a word, but after he had done all this, she suddenly asked:
"Why do you keep touching your nose?"
"Uh... I'm a little allergic to the air here. I'm not feeling well." As he said that, Cheng Shi touched the tip of his nose again.
It's red, as red as a clown's nose.
"I apologize again, but I think I should leave now."
Having said that, Cheng Shi turned around and walked away, but this time the little girl did not stop him.
She looked at Cheng Shi's back with longing eyes, and only when Cheng Shi left the room did she sob and close her eyelids for Serius.
"Grandpa Serius, why do you insist on leaving? Don't you like me anymore?
"Woo woo woo..."
After a long time, the Iron Knights who were guarding this place finally arrived.
They still had leather hoods covering their faces. When they found Serius dead in the workshop, the knights were not too shocked. They just looked at the little girl beside Serius and whispered softly:
"You shouldn't be here. Something bad happened here. Let us take you back, okay?"
The little girl had regained her composure, and her eyes were no longer red. She looked straight at these indifferent Iron Knights and said in a very serious tone:
"It was the Tower of Reason that killed Grandpa Serius."
The leading knight frowned and said, "You are not hurt, are you? You shouldn't let Melina guard the door. She should be guarding you."
"No, there is nothing about Melina here. What I am saying is: it was the Tower of Reason that killed Grandpa Serius."
"Mr. Serius is not dead. He is packing up the experimental materials in his office. I assure you that everything you see here is most likely a prank."
"I'm not a fool, dear knights. Are you trying to say that the people from the Tower of Reason and Quality went through so much trouble to sneak in here just to set up a prank for me?
Do you think the great scholars of the Erudite Presidential Council are all fools?"
"Well, you're right, they're not fools, but why are you sure it was someone from the Tower of Reason who did it?"
"Because…I can't think of anyone else."
The knight couldn't help but smiled, but he quickly stopped smiling and nodded very seriously.
"We will investigate this matter seriously. Please rest assured that under the light of the Supreme Judge, no crime will escape justice."
The little girl still believed in the knight very much. She said "hmm" softly and finally decided to leave.
The knights made way.
"You two, take Lady Garusa back to Lord Kernlaol and make sure she is safe."
"yes!"
