Guilty Records

Tang Zhibai touched something heavy and warm in his palm. Tang Zhibai looked down and found that it was Louis who was holding him by his little hand. He was lying on the edge of the bed and fell into a deep sleep. shadow.

Like a tired sleeping doll.

Tang Zhibai sighed softly, stretched out his hand and gently smoothed his hair.

Poor little guy, he must have been taking care of himself all night last night, must be exhausted.

Life is like this, Tang Zhibai never thinks how good he is to Lu Yi, but Lu Yi can always give him consideration in some details of life, everything he gives is wordless and full of sincerity.

Tang Zhibai couldn't help but be moved.

The phone was still ringing rapidly, it was interrupted once, but it called again without stopping.

Sleeping Louis frowned, and was finally awakened by the ringtone in his sleep, slowly opened those beautiful dark green eyes, blinked in confusion, and finally fixed on Tang Zhibai's face.

Seeing the child's appearance, Tang Zhibai patted his hand distressedly, and said softly: "I'll answer the phone, you go to bed and sleep."

As he said that, he put on his coat, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and put on slippers. In just a few minutes, there was already a third phone call over there. What exactly is going on?

Tang Zhibai walked over and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Mrs. McGarrie's panicked voice came: "Is it Lin Xu?!"

"It's me." Tang Zhibai was startled by her trembling voice, and said hastily.

It could be heard that Mrs. McGarrie was very frightened and flustered at this time, and even forgot to use the honorific.

"Something happened! Stuart was killed in the piano teaching classroom. I heard that he has entered the intensive care unit and is life-threatening! I rushed to see that the classroom has been blocked by the police. It wasn't the two of you yesterday. Is someone practicing the piano? My God, what happened to you?" Mrs. McGarrie's voice was trembling.

"What?" As if thunder was falling, Tang Zhibai was taken aback. Snow was killed?last night?

"I, I had a fever yesterday, so I didn't go to the piano classroom." Tang Zhibai replied blankly.

"You'd better not lie to me! If Snow Stuart dies, none of us will feel better. I heard that Stuart attacked the Duke and entered the palace overnight and mobilized the royal police. Lin Xu, tell me the truth. At this moment, Maggie's shrill voice was like a hen on the verge of extinction, asking questions repeatedly and warning him forcefully.

Tang Zhibai understood Mrs. McGarry's worry. Once Snow died, the two of them were mainly involved in the incident. Regardless of whether they were innocent or not, they might be sent to prison by the Stuart family.

But this happened so suddenly, Tang Zhibai really didn't know anything, he said helplessly: "Mrs. McGarrie, I really had a fever and fell into a coma yesterday. I couldn't even get out of bed. Maybe my roommate can testify for me."

Hearing his well-founded answer, Mrs. McGarry took a deep breath and calmed down a lot before saying, "Sorry, I was shocked when I just heard the news."

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. McGarry. When did this happen? Why would someone do something like this in school?" Tang Zhibai asked suspiciously.

"I heard it happened last night. We have to go to the principal's office now. The police are already waiting for us there. Listen to the child! You should know that there are some things you can say and some things you can't say." Mrs. McGarrie said seriously With a hint of warning in his attitude, he hung up the phone after speaking.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhibai, who was standing there wearing only thin clothes, suddenly felt very cold, and Mrs. McGarry's attitude really made him uncomfortable.

The sky outside the window was still dark, the weather was cold and the dew was heavy, and there were traces of water droplets falling on the glass window. He couldn't help shivering. It was really scary to hear such news in the morning.

"Bai, what's the matter?" Louis standing over there looked at him calmly.

Mrs. McGarrie's voice was very loud just now, and Louis must have heard everything that should be heard.

Tang Zhibai forced a smile on the boy, and comforted him: "I have to go out later, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Even though he said so, his heart still couldn't help beating. He lowered his head and frowned for a while, then picked up the ringtone and made a call.

The bell rang for a long time before being picked up, "Xiao Su?"

Obviously surprised to receive a call from Lin Xu at this time.

"Uncle..." Tang Zhibai looked serious.

……

This is a spacious and luxurious office, with silk curtains from China, high-end French leather sofas, countless treasures and antique ornaments, and a huge and exquisite portrait hanging directly above the desk. The beauty in the picture is the beautiful Elizabeth. princess.

Although this office has not been used all year round, the servants are often cleaned and dare not leave a little dust.Usually major events in the school are discussed here.

At this time, the dawn has just begun.

The office was full of people, two police officers from the London Police Department sat in front, and Mrs. McGarry sat beside her in a gorgeous dress. Although it was early, her hair was meticulously arranged and her makeup was also exquisite.This woman really never loses her etiquette wherever she goes. The panicked voice on the phone in the morning doesn't seem to come from this confident woman's mouth.

But the trembling fingers holding the coffee cup still exposed him.

Even the vice-principal, Earl George, came and sat on the sofa directly in front of him, drinking hot tea with a blank expression.

At the same time, Tang Zhibai, who was standing beside him, seemed a little cautious, pinching his palms and not knowing where to put them.But his face was controlled and calm, and it was hard to see his nervousness.

A brown-haired policeman flipped through the documents in his hand, looked at the calm young man with sharp eyes, and commented, "You are very calm, Mr. Lin Su."

Tang Zhibai shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Police Officer, I am not calm. My palms are full of cold sweat. I am just trying to maintain the calmness that a man should have, so that I don't lose my composure."

The policeman nodded in understanding, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Officer Evans, Mr. Lin Su, do you know why I called you here today?"

The two shook hands, and Tang Zhibai replied, "Yes, Mrs. McGarry told me about Stuart when she called in the morning."

Mrs. McGary didn't expect to be mentioned suddenly, she looked a little flustered, and said quickly: "Oh...Of course, that's right."

"Can you tell me, then, where you were last night between ten and eleven?" asked Inspector Evans.

The extremely tense and suppressed anger made Tang Zhibai rub his temples weakly, "It's like this. There was a sudden heavy rain in London the night before, and I had a fever in the middle of the night because of it. I was groggy in bed all day yesterday, and I didn't even get out of bed. I didn’t go out until Mrs. McGarry called me this morning.”

The police officer secretly looked at the boy, guessing how true his words were.

Earl George, who was at the side, snorted softly through his nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hmph, this is too much of a coincidence, I don't believe it."

Immediately, Mrs. McGarrie looked at Earl George with a look of bewilderment.

Tang Zhibai frowned and looked at the fat middle-aged man on the sofa, and found that Earl George was sitting aside, being served by his servants, reading newspapers and drinking coffee, without even looking at himself.

Tang Zhibai didn't quite understand, why did he say that?

"Any witnesses?" Officer Evans asked wrinkly.

"My roommate, Louis Anjou, maybe the housekeeper on duty in the lobby downstairs can also testify for me." Tang Zhibai answered quickly.

The police officer on the side took a hard-shell notebook and recorded them one by one.

Police Officer Evans asked again: "According to the investigation, you practice piano in the piano classroom every day. You suddenly fell ill and left yesterday. Lord Viscount Stuart was assassinated. May I ask what is the relationship between you and Lord Viscount? Is there any conflict?" ?”

Earl George sneered, "This is too coincidental."

Tang Zhibai was a little irritable and ignored him, and calmly said: "Snow Stuart is my classmate, and the relationship is average. This time, the cooperative practice is also for the college's Easter performance. I think we should There is no contradiction."

"Mr. Lin Fu, this is inconsistent with our investigation. I heard that Lord Viscount has been pursuing you in private, but you have been avoiding him." Officer Evans said with interest, crossing his chest and watching the boy's expression.

Tang Zhibai felt powerless, "Even if the truth of the matter is like this, it still does not constitute my criminal motive."

The black-haired boy in front of him was slender and thin, with a cool temperament flowing between his eyebrows and eyes, like wintersweet in the cold night, he was indeed very cute.

Officer Evans felt that the young man was very beautiful from the bottom of his heart, but he jokingly said, "That's not necessarily the case, it's not impossible for love to hate or something..."

It's not serious, Tang Zhibai glared at this rude young police officer, but was interrupted again by Earl George, who said impatiently: "When did the police station's handling of cases lag behind? Let me waste precious time sitting here In the morning, are you just listening to these nonsense? It seems that I need to report to the princess, the current situation of the police station?"

The slightly short recording police officer was immediately startled by Earl George.However, Officer Evans was obviously not that afraid of this middle-aged man in a high position. He smiled politely at the man and said, "My lord, I am sorry for wasting your time, but this is the law enforcement requirement of the police department. The king personally signed it." law."

Earl George snorted coldly, and the servant behind him respectfully lit a cigar for him, and the man said angrily, "Since you all know who the suspect is, then take it back to the police station for careful interrogation, why waste time here? Presumably Stuart The adults can't wait, can they?"

Before Officer Evans could say anything, Mrs. McGarry panicked and said, "No, Earl George! I can't enter the police station!"

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears, sobbing sadly: "As an honorary professor of Strell College, if I have been in and out of the police station, how can I have the face to go out and meet people?"

The count looked at this pretending woman, frowned and said nothing.

Officer Evans smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Professor McGarry, no one will be brought into the police station. This is just a routine investigation. You are not suspects." Tang Zhibai took a look.

Mrs. McGarry gave him a thankful look with bright red eyes.

Earl George threw the unfinished cigar directly into the ashtray, stood up and said impatiently, "Do whatever you want, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Such a grandiose police investigation was the first time Earl George wanted to leave at Stryll College. Although this did not comply with the law, no one present dared to stop him because of his special status.

Officer Evans frowned at him.

"No one is allowed to leave." A cold male voice suddenly came from outside the door.
