The students who were observing in the small classroom were stunned.
Everyone is taking a class in this area, and there happens to be such a case in the school. Of course, they will make some speculations.
So far, most people think that Claude and Gonzalez are more likely to be suspected, because these two were the last people to see Bonu. Although they cannot be beaten head-on, they can still use some conspiracy.
Woolen cloth?
Of course, some people thought of something deeper. They also locked a murderer in their hearts, and confidently believed that Professor Schiller would think the same as them.
Let’s talk about their speculations first.
The key to the secret room lies in how the murderer sneaked in and how he left.
There seems to be only one way to break into this secret room in the small classroom and corridor.
There are a lot of equipment in the power distribution room, which results in a certain blind spot for monitoring. Although the blind spot is not large enough to accommodate a person, it should still be possible if you think of a way.
Then the murderer can come in through the window of the power distribution room, enter the utility room, push the door out of the utility room while the elevator is closed and the camera cannot capture it, walk past the elevator door, and enter the small classroom on the opposite door.
But there is a problem, that is, there is no door between the power distribution room and the utility room.
There is no door between the large classroom and the small classroom, which means that if you want to enter another classroom, you have to go out of the classroom door into the corridor, and then open the door again.
Whether it is between the power distribution room and the utility room, or between the large classroom and the small classroom, there is only one glass window.
In other words, the suspicion of a person who can only cross two rooms by walking through the door is eliminated.
Let’s take a look at these suspects.
Gonzalez will definitely not be able to pass through. He is just an ordinary human being. Without any superpowers, there is absolutely no way he can pass through. His suspicion has been completely ruled out.
So on the surface, the one who seems most suspicious is Claude.
He is a student at the Magic Academy, and the introductory course at the Magic Academy is flash. Although he has only taken the class for more than a year, because of his good talent and quick learning, he can barely use flash now.
But smart students have eliminated his suspicion.
Because Claude's timeline under surveillance is complete.
He entered the small classroom as soon as he came out of the elevator. The elevator door was not closed at that time. The camera in the elevator captured him entering the small classroom, including entering the large classroom and returning to the small classroom, leaving no time for him to flash.
Some students also used off-site information to come to the conclusion that it couldn't be Cloud, because they knew that Cloud's current ability was to flash in an open space at a short distance, which meant that it wouldn't work if there were obstacles in the middle.
The unlucky guy who was stuck in the wall before had a problem because he wanted to practice flashing to break through obstacles, but Claude was still far away from this step. Not to mention there was a wall or a grass in the middle.
It's easy for him to fall over.
Combining these two points, Claude's suspicion has been reduced.
But the talented top students are able to notice things that others cannot, and they set their sights on Zan.
What is Zan's ability? He can turn into water.
Many people have seen his ability to transform into water. He does not turn into water molecules, but just ordinary liquid flow.
If it were a complete metal wall, such water would not be able to flow through it. Most of the rooms in the base are made of metal walls made of molten steel alloy. However, there are two walls in the four rooms on this floor.
It has two panes of glass.
This directly destroys the integrity of the wall, which means that there are gaps between the walls that can be passed through. Humans cannot pass through, but this is not necessarily true for water.
In other words, although there is no door between the large room and the small room, someone can go through the window.
In this case, the suspicion of likes has skyrocketed to the top of the list.
No one else can leave, but you can leave, which naturally means that the suspicion is even greater. Many students think that Schiller will adopt a psychological strategy and find ways to expose Zan's flaws.
But I didn't expect Schiller to give a completely unexpected answer.
But after all, the most important thing here is smart people.
"Blue Beetle!" Someone shouted immediately.
But some people were confused and asked: "What's going on? How could the murderer be Ted?"
"No, the murderer is not Ted, but Blue Beetle." Someone said: "Have you forgotten? That bug didn't listen to him at all!"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it looked like there were six suspects in this room, but in fact there were seven, because the Blue Beetle was not just a weapon or a prop, it was independent.
Blue Beetle's real name is Scarab. It is a spy weapon created by a powerful alien race to penetrate other planets. It is usually accompanied by an indigenous person of this planet, but it secretly controls them and can even influence them.
His sanity makes them do things that are inconsistent with their own ideas. The first generation of Blue Beetle was once influenced by him.
Yes, this thing is actually a spy device, and its technological content is beyond imagination.
So how could a spy device be allowed into such a tightly guarded Mercury base?
The main reason is that this thing is Ted's superpower. If you don't let it in, then Ted Kord is just an ordinary person and has no ability to be a young superhero. The security personnel have defaulted that this is Ted's pendant, so naturally
Let it in.
Moreover, Ted underwent a complete psychological test before he came in. He was not controlled by anyone. Even now, he has not been affected by Blue Beetle. Blue Beetle has always looked down on him and did not bother to pay attention to him.
This resulted in Ted not having much communication with his own superpowers. He himself did not know what the abilities of the beetle in his body were. Even though he had seen his teacher show off a few times before, his understanding was very limited, and he had never experienced it himself.
Pass.
Many students were curious and wanted him to show it, but Ted couldn't call the blue beetle, so other students didn't know what Ted's superpowers were, and they knew very little about the beetle on his body.
Even Schiller, who knows the plot of the comics, is not entirely sure what Blue Beetle is capable of, because this heroic image has a long history, which can even be traced back to the birth of Batman and Superman. During this period, it has been through many comic companies, and each version is very different.
, the abilities displayed by this bug in the first generation and the second generation are also different.
But based on various comics and film and television images, Schiller knew that Blue Beetle can use energy weapons. It can create a blue holographic projection-like thing, but this thing has a physical form, whether it turns into a sword or a magic weapon.
As a shield, it can be used in combat and is very powerful.
This technology is somewhat similar to green light energy, both turning virtual reality into reality, except that one is green and the other is blue.
Moreover, Schiller believes that as an alien spy device, it should be able to penetrate walls, and because it is smaller and more concealed, and may even be equipped with a stealth system, it will be much easier to penetrate walls than Zan.
After all, Zan needs to find a blind spot for surveillance if he wants to transform into water, and as a living person, he needs a much larger blind spot for surveillance than a small beetle.
In other words, among all the suspects present, he is the one with the greatest suspicion.
But that doesn't mean he was the only one who lied.
After Schiller finished speaking, he did not look at Ted again, but turned to look at Zan. The moment he was stared at by those golden vertical pupils, Zan instinctively grabbed the railing of the water prison.
"You think that the spiritual communication between you and your sister is seamless, but I told her that after a murder occurs, all the related atmospheres are important clues. Do you think I didn't see her panic at that time?"
Zan panicked a little when it came to Jenna, and he could even hear his own rumbling heartbeat.
Jenna behind the glass also clenched her fists.
For her, the answer was written in the question - Schiller had already demonstrated the power of psychoanalysis.
Schiller raised his head and looked through the glass into Jenna's eyes. The alien girl sighed as if appointed, walked out of the crowd, went out, and then opened the door and entered the large classroom.
Zan looked at his sister with concern.
"When get out of class was about to end, to be precise, around the time of Bonu's death, I sensed my brother's emotions. He felt panic, fear and despair."
"Our telepathic abilities become clearer when our emotions are strong. Through communicating with him, I learned that he accidentally killed an Atlantean woman."
Discussions began again in the small classroom, "Didn't you say that the murderer was Blue Beetle? Why is Zan confessing now?"
As soon as Jenna finished speaking, Zan said hurriedly: "No, I didn't want to kill her. I didn't kill her at all. I did attack her, but..."
Zan's psychological quality is obviously not as good as Jenna's, or he hasn't figured out the situation yet, and various emotions are echoing in his heart, making it impossible for him to defend himself logically.
Fortunately, he and his sister had a spiritual connection, and Jenna spoke again: "This is a conspiracy. Someone forced my brother to kill Bonu."
Things became more and more complicated. Everyone looked at Schiller. Bruce and Oliver also walked in the door. Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said, "Are you sure you can crack the program carried by that beetle?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Ted shouted, "No, professor, this is a relic left by my teacher! I can't lose it!"
Schiller glanced at Ted with some admiration, because he found that Ted said this sincerely. It was not because Blue Beetle had powerful abilities that allowed him to become a superhero that he wanted to keep Blue Beetle, but because
This may be the only thing his teacher left him.
At this time, Bruce shook his head and said: "I can dismantle it, but I can't guarantee a perfect crack. In other words, the disassembly and analysis may be a one-time thing."
Schiller certainly understands that the laws of science are like this. It is difficult to avoid destructive investigations in the process of various experiments. If Iron Man is given this job, he may not be able to do it.
Schiller called Arthur up again. Arthur was a little confused. He said, "I don't understand any alien technology at all. Do you expect me to crack it?"
"But your water prison trapped it." Schiller said: "It is obvious that this beetle does not seem to be good at dealing with magic, otherwise it would not stay in the water prison obediently."
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, if he was good at dealing with magic, he wouldn't be controlled by the witch Circe.
It was obvious that the witch Circe was responsible for the chaotic situation in front of her. If Blue Beetle wanted to do it himself, then it would have had plenty of opportunities to escape before being discovered by everyone, and would not have stayed at all.
It will do no good to itself except exacerbating the complexity of the matter and creating more trouble for professors and students.
Let's first look at the trouble it can cause if left behind.
This thing is a relic left by Ted's teacher. He will never let it go easily. If he is forced to find out the truth, he will definitely feel very sad and sad, which will chill the hearts of young superheroes.
However, if the truth is not found out, then Bonu's death will be in vain, and the people of Atlantis will definitely not be satisfied.
And Zan also said that he was led and wronged. If Blue Beetle is not investigated, there is no way to clear his grievances. He will have to bear the crime of killing his classmates, which will inevitably make people think that he is an alien, and
It will put other non-human alien visitors at risk.
This plan can be said to be a series of alienation schemes. If not handled properly, the student group can be torn apart in an instant.
