Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 448
Facts have proved that Lu Xiang is a stubborn person.

Although she repeatedly emphasized that she didn't need any psychological counseling, after returning to the apartment, she hurriedly washed up, then lay down directly under the quilt, and buried her head in the quilt.

After confirming that Professor Miles committed suicide, the rest of the process will be completed by the college. The dean should announce the death of the professor to all the teachers and students at the morning meeting tomorrow.

Both of them knew in their hearts that if the nature of suicide was confirmed, their behavior today would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This time Lu Xiang slept very deeply, as if he wanted to temporarily forget all this through sleep.

Song Lan's reaction was different from Lu Xiang's. He was lying on the bed without any sleepiness.

Professor Myers finally made an unexpected decision. When he left the classroom, he firmly believed that the professor would contact them sooner or later and take the initiative to tell them about the past and the truth about the "receiver". Tried to think of possibilities other than suicide, but to no avail.

And Angre-Saffron, according to the habit of self-introduction, he did not need to mention his surname at all, everything he said and did after he appeared pointed to him vaguely, this abnormal What was the relationship between the CID staff and Drago-Saffron?
He just thought about the rest of the night like this, until a slight knock on the door brought him back to reality.

Lu Xiang, who was always keen, was not awakened by the knock on the door. Song Lan got out of bed, put on slippers and opened the door.

The person who knocked on the door was wearing heavy clothes to hide his eyes and ears, and his head was covered by the hood of the jumpsuit. He was wearing a mask, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a familiar transparent plastic basket in his arms.

This is what's on Professor Miles' desk, and it's full of glass beads of different colors.

"The professor told me to give this to you."

Song Lan recognized that it was the teaching assistant's voice. He was weak and looked extremely weak.

Without waiting for Song Lan's response, the teaching assistant directly stuffed the plastic basket into his arms, then turned around and left, not wanting to have any further communication with him.

Song Lan held the plastic basket inexplicably, thinking about the meaning of what Professor Miles did.

What is certain is that they had never seen him before today's psychic ability theory class. Professor Miles didn't know his existence at all, and their communication with the professor in the course was not harmonious. As a result, he and Lu Xiang were kicked out together.

Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that Professor Myers probably asked the assistant to deliver the basket of glass beads to him during the 20 minutes from get out of class to home.

This was the last message Professor Miles wanted to convey before he shot himself.

but……

What secrets can this plastic basket of glass beads hide?
Song Lan lay back on the bed, took out one of the black glass beads and looked at it carefully, but no matter from every angle, it seemed to be just an extremely ordinary glass bead.

He was obsessed with the game of marbles for a while when he was a child. At that time, marbles cost [-] yuan each. After school, a group of children would hold exciting pinball competitions at the flower beds in the community. It was hard for him to imagine that The hundred-year-old Professor Miles would be like a child, playing marbles in the dirt and making himself covered in dust.

These glass beads are more like collectibles.

But then, Song Lan remembered what the teaching assistant said at the scene of the crime. He had inadvertently mentioned to Lu Xiang that looking at these marbles was a habit of Professor Miles when he was thinking, and he very clearly mentioned that the professor always Is like staring at the texture above.

He thought of something, and immediately dumped all the glass beads on the bed.

All are glass beads of a solid color, darker or lighter, but absolutely devoid of texture.

Children who often play glass bead games know that although the price of glass beads is basically the same, they will be classified into grades and grades because of the difference in color. Among them are "variegated" glass beads with texture. In the circle, these "variety" marbles are often the bottommost existence.

At this moment, in the huge plastic basket, I couldn't find any "variety" glass beads.

If they were pure glass beads from the beginning, why did Professor Miles always like to stare at the texture on them when he was thinking?
He didn't think that the assistant professor lied, but that someone had been to the scene before them and took away all the "variety" glass beads in the plastic basket, and these glass beads taken away by others might be the ones that the professor really wanted. something to leave them.

"Director, wake up, Supervisor."

Sensing someone pushing him, Lu Xiang frowned and hummed with unknown meaning.

She had a dream.

Dreaming that she was back in her student days, it was a theoretical class taught by Professor Miles, the classroom was as deserted as ever, she was sitting in the first row, and the professor seemed to be telling them about the connection between consciousness and the body.

At least that's the title given on the slides.

However, she looked carefully at Professor Miles, watching his mouth open and close, but she couldn't hear any sound.

Not only Professor Miles, but everyone in the classroom seemed to have been cast with a silence magic, as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

After an unknown amount of time, the classroom suddenly began to tremble. Amidst the strong shaking, the building collapsed, the walls cracked, and a beam of dazzling light shone through the cracks.

When her sight became clear again, she only saw Song Lan's slightly concerned expression.

It took Lu Xiang five seconds to recall that this is the dormitory arranged for them by the college. Because of the death of Professor Miles, she fell asleep as soon as she came back yesterday.

It was still dark, and it was now the middle of the night.

Song Lan was still awake at this time, which added a bit of weirdness to the whole thing.

"what happened?"

Lu Xiang's eyes were sleepy, and he spoke with a strong nasal voice.

"Do you remember this basket of glass beads?"

"Professor Miles' glass beads... where did you get them?"

After seeing clearly the objects Song Lan was holding, she suddenly lost sleepiness, because according to the college's procedures, these relics will be stored in his altar together with Professor Miles.

If the academy found out that Song Lan had taken the professor's belongings, it might not be cleared up by jumping into the artificial lake.

"It was sent by the teaching assistant. He said it was the last thing the professor entrusted to him. I think it is very important."

Encountering difficulties, Song Lan had to turn to Lu Xiang for help. When he was at the scene, he did not carefully observe the basket of glass beads, so he could not determine when the "variety" glass beads inside were taken away.

Fortunately, he remembered that out of professional habits, Lu Xiang took photos of everything on the desk for proof, including this basket of glass beads.

"When we arrived, were there any 'variegated' glass beads in this basket?"

Although he didn't know why Song Lan asked such a question, Lu Xiang quickly called out the photos he had taken.

Song Lan looked at the photos carefully and finally came to a conclusion, "Someone returned to the scene after we left and took away all the 'variegated' glass beads."

　Small theater its 62:

　　On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Wednesday, late at night.

　　It has been two days since the reinforcements arrived in District [-], and everyone in the camp spent these two days in panic.

　　Song Lan's whereabouts have been unknown after going deep into the void to investigate. They were very worried that the minister would become a fanatic of the Lord of Pollution just like those who disappeared in the depths of the mist.

　　And on this night, the advance troops were surprised to find Song Lan.

　　It's just that today's Minister Song looked extremely embarrassed, as if he had just encountered a fierce battle, so that his running movements became a little weird.

　　It was hard for the members of the advance team to imagine what a terrifying monster it was that made the minister look like this. From the way he kept turning his head, it was not difficult to see that the monster was probably hunting him down.

　　All of a sudden, everyone took up their weapons and got ready to fight.

　　"I'm hurt and need to recuperate."

　　After leaving these words to the sentries, Song Lan stumbled back to his temporary residence.

　　He took off his heavy chemical protective suit and threw the gas mask aside.

　　He buried himself directly in the quilt, using the thick quilt to build the strongest three-dimensional defense for himself.

　　But then, he discovered a terrible thing.

　　Why is the bed hot?

　　There should be no members of the advance team occupying his room.

　　And he also vaguely touched something in the bed.

　　For a moment, he thought of the classic scene in the famous horror movie "The Grudge".

　　"I heard you were injured."

　　A familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, "I have studied basic medical courses in school."
