Mystery: The Stars Returner

Taking advantage of Vice Dean Bard's absence, Hugh began to use her professional abilities.

"Did you really pick up this bunch of bells from outside?"

Xio's indifferent tone contained a majesty that would not allow anyone to refuse or lie.

She is using her extraordinary abilities as an arbiter.

Amy replied timidly: "Yes, I picked it up at the foot of the mountain a month ago. Many people can prove it for me."

"What do you think of Dean Dahn?"

"It's very bad. He often doesn't give us food, and he always threatens to put us in a solitary cell underground."

"What about Vice Dean Bard?"

"Dean Bud is a good man. He treats us very well and always takes good care of us."

"Are there any people in the workhouse who are usually eccentric?"

Amy thought for a while and then said: "Dean Dahn, he likes to dream very much."

Xio became interested, "What dreams does Dean Dan like to have?"

Hastur, who was finally able to hear the follow-up to this question, also became serious.

"He always dreamed of digging a hole in the soil and planting gold coins in it, and then it would grow into a golden tree full of gold coins."

"..."

Both Xio and Hastur were stunned by this answer. They had also fantasized about this dream of getting rich.

"When he wakes up in the morning, he will be angry because of the sudden disappearance of the golden tree. He will loudly curse us as thieves and steal the gold coins that belong to him." Amy added.

"..."

Xio's expression was strange. She thought she could see something unusual in Dean Dahn's dream, but this was just the dream fantasy of an extremely greedy person, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

Hasta pondered for a while and said, "Has Dean Dahn ever had a dream about burying children in the soil?"

Lecturer Foulun's face changed slightly, and he looked at Hastur in shock. He remembered what his teacher had said before about the cruel things that his teacher had said about the workhouse burying children in the soil many times!

Xio also opened his eyes slightly and listened more seriously.

"I only remember that he once shouted angrily that the thief who stole gold coins should be buried in the soil so that his golden tree could bear more gold coins."

"Dean Dan really said that?" Xio had a bad guess in his mind.

"Well, many people have heard it. We also laughed privately that only a money-grubbing person like him could plant a golden tree full of gold coins by burying it in the soil." Amy's tone was very sure.

Xio walked up to Hastur and asked quietly, "Dean Dahn really did such a cruel thing?"

"It's just a possibility."

"It's so abominable! How could he not even let the children go!"

Xio clenched her fists angrily, feeling even more annoyed that she didn't take a good look at Dean Dahn at that time and instead let him run away.

Hastur restrained the anger in his heart and asked calmly: "How is the relationship between Dean Dahn and Vice Dean Bader on weekdays?"

Amy lowered her head and thought for a long time before whispering: "Dean Dahn said many times that he would fire Deputy Dean Bard. Once when he was very angry, he also said that Deputy Dean Bard would be locked up forever. Let him be a prisoner in the solitary cell for the rest of his life."

"What was Dean Dan angry about that time?"

"I don't know. I just remember that Dean Dahn had a bad temper that day, and many people were punished by him."

When Hasta was about to continue asking, Vice Dean Bader and the police officer came not far away, leading a boy who was obviously half a head taller than Amy.

After some questioning, it was found that the boy named Simon indeed snatched Amy's bell last night and sneaked out, but in the end he did not have the courage to scare Aunt Lisa, and instead hid in the bathroom like Amy tonight Had a great night.

"That's good."

Xio was obviously relieved and returned the bell to Amy, warning him not to run around late at night, and not to swing the bell at will, so as not to disturb others.

The two police officers also gave Amy and Simon a verbal lesson, and then asked Vice Dean Bard to take them back to rest.

There seemed to be a misunderstanding tonight, and the two police officers didn't stay too long. After Vice Dean Bader sent the person back to the dormitory, they left together.

The iron door was locked again, and everything was calm again.

The two police officers and Vice President Bader went back to rest, while Hastur and the other two went back to his room for a little gathering.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Xio said with a sullen face, waving the three-pointed thorn in his hand and knocking on the table.

"That's what a man named Old Jeff told my teacher..." Lecturer Folan steadily exerted his storytelling ability.

After hearing this, Xio was very angry and said very firmly: "Are you still doubtful? Old Jeff must have discovered Dean Dahn's crime and was murdered by him!"

Hastamer concluded.

It is basically certain that Old Jeff was killed, but even if the person who harmed him was Dean Dahn, he would need at least one helper, right?

With Dean Dahn's character of being greedy for money and cherishing life, he would definitely not personally deal with Old Jeff. There must be subordinates working for him in the workhouse.

Although today's search confirmed all the charges against Dean Dahn, it did not find the accomplices who helped Dean Dahn commit the crime.

This is a hidden danger after all.

Hastur thought for a moment, and then told Xio what he thought.

Xio affirmed: "I am also very professional in the matter of interrogation."

"Everything should be bounded by the law, and don't resort to violence casually." Hasta felt that he needed to remind Xio.

"I, where am I violent? I just sometimes use more direct methods..." Xio's cheeks turned slightly red, and she obviously lacked the confidence to speak.

"For the sake of our acquaintance, next time you go to the police station for something like this, you can ask me for help."

Xio was very dissatisfied with Hastur's words and said rudely: "Looking for you? You are a destitute baron?"

"I am also a lawyer. Well, I am now the legal advisor of Bavart Bank."

"..."

Xio was silent, and then asked in a low voice: "Is Bavart Bank very rich?"

"Not very rich, but very rich."

"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to rob a bank, so I can only earn some hard money by working hard."

Xio sighed, suddenly feeling uninterested. She waved her hand and had no interest in continuing the conversation. Lecturer Foulun followed her and left.

"I also want to rob a bank sometimes."

Hastur also sighed, but he was just thinking about it, just like Dean Dahn dreamed in his sleep that if he planted gold coins, a golden tree would grow.

After locking the door, Hastur went back to bed and lay down, thinking about tomorrow.

Regardless of whether there was any news from Professor Wayne tomorrow, he had to go back home first. He had not showered or changed clothes for two days, making it difficult for him to even sleep.

Regarding the remaining doubts about the workhouse, let’s wait until we find Dean Dan.

Maybe I just think too much, and the culprit of everything is Dean Dahn.

As for the different sounds of the bells on the two nights, it may be because different people have different strengths, and the sounds produced by shaking the bells are also different.

Hastur thought a lot and soon fell asleep, choosing to come to the Hall of Stars.

Now he has gradually become familiar with and mastered the Palace of Stars, and can decide independently whether to enter the Palace of Stars after falling asleep.

There have been a lot of worries recently. Hastur sat quietly on the chair with his eyes closed for a long time before looking at the star belonging to the djinn.

Looking closer, the stars dispersed.

The shadow of the magic lamp was still shining with dim light, very quiet and peaceful.

Hastur stared at it for a while, and then he forced the chain of order to whip as usual.

After transferring his worries, he felt much more relaxed.

……

Early the next morning, Lecturer Foulun knocked on the door again.

Hastur, who finally took a nap, was woken up. He got up and tidied his clothes a little before slowly opening the door.

If Professor Foulun came to disturb his sleep for some trivial matter, then he wouldn't mind letting Professor Foulun feel what cruelty is.

Fortunately, the news brought by lecturer Foulun was shocking and a great news.

Professor Wayne found it!

It is said that Professor Wayne returned to his house at two or three o'clock last night and was soon discovered by police officers who were paying close attention to the area.

Then the news came to the dock area early in the morning, and Professor Folan was the first to inform him after receiving the news.

Hastur looked unkind and said, "Professor Wayne walked back by himself?"

"That's what they say."

"Haha, you are so lucky."

Hastur's face became more and more sinister. He was just suspicious before, but now he can confirm that this disappearance case was directed and acted by Professor Wayne!

He didn't care that Professor Wayne took over his part. What made him angry was that Professor Wayne didn't say anything in advance, causing him to worry here!

Lecturer Foulun coughed lightly and said, "Well, I don't think Teacher did this on purpose. Maybe he was just a little anxious to leave and didn't have time to say goodbye to us."

"Lecturer Foulen, while you were chewing white bread and unable to fall asleep due to anxiety, Professor Wayne must have been alone, quietly drinking wine and spending a very sad night with grilled sausages. "

"..."

Just based on Hastur's description, Lecturer Foulun could only feel his anger rising instantly.

I feel so angry all of a sudden!
