Wizard Earl

Chapter 464 Murder Case (2)

"I don't know it!" Upon hearing the words "Green University," Connor's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely sensed something, but without any hesitation, he spoke directly:

"What were you doing three days ago, on the 17th?" John Duncan asked, staring intently into Connor's eyes, trying to create a strong sense of pressure.

"I was having an affair with my mistress. She's married, so I can't tell you who she is. You can assume I don't have an alibi!" Connor said directly, without avoiding John Duncan's gaze.

The so-called "rendezvous with his mistress" was just an excuse for Connor. In fact, three days ago he was still refining magic stones in a cave in Tunguska. However, Connor obviously couldn't tell John Duncan that he was a wizard who had discovered a magic stone mine in Tunguska. Three days ago, he was wholeheartedly in the cave in Tunguska, refining more than 20,000 magic stone ores produced by the mine.

Officer John Duncan gave Connor a deep look with his brown eyes, then pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Connor, saying, "Connor Ferguson, do you recognize the drawing on this paper?"

The pattern on the notebook paper looked like the coat of arms of a noble family in the Kaman Empire. The coat of arms was decorated with thorn patterns symbolizing the Kaman Empire, and in the center of the coat of arms was a very ancient Byzantine "F".

"This is the Ferguson family crest, representing the Ferguson family, Officer John Duncan. Now, can you tell me what exactly happened?" Connor said in a low voice, carefully scanning the notebook. He seemed to understand the general situation, but he still needed final confirmation.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment on anything regarding the case!" John Duncan said coldly, expressionless. After saying that, he stood up, called to his clerk, Miss Kelly, and was about to leave Connor's apartment.

"Officer John Duncan! Let me reiterate: first, I don't know why you consider me a suspect, but this case has nothing to do with me; second, if I were you, I would sit down and tell you what happened now, otherwise, in a few hours, under questioning in the Lords of Luen, you will also have to tell the truth. But at that time, Officer John, you won't be able to interrogate me as easily as you are now. You will be under pressure from the Lords!" Connor said calmly, leaning back on the sofa. Although his voice was calm, the threat in his words was obvious.

"You're threatening me? Connor Ferguson, do you know what you're saying? Based on what you've just said, I can arrest you right now under Article 17 of the Imperial Law!" John Duncan rushed in front of Connor, angrily shouting.

"Your Excellency Senior Inspector, you should know very well that what I've said is true. Your clerk, Miss Kelly, is free to write down what I've said. You can arrest me now according to Article 17 of the Imperial Security Act, but do you think it makes any sense?" Connor picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and said calmly.

Upon hearing Connor's words, Miss Kelly, who had already stood up, opened her lovely big eyes and looked at her superior. After thinking for a moment, John Duncan suppressed his anger and silently sat back down on the sofa. Seeing her superior's choice, Miss Kelly also sat back down on the sofa and reopened her laptop.

"I will definitely report what you just said to the Metropolitan Police Department!" After a moment of contemplation, John Duncan looked up and stared at Connor very seriously, saying:

"I told you, as long as you tell me what happened, I wouldn't mind if you applied for an arrest warrant from the Metropolitan Police Department right now!" Connor said nonchalantly, seeing that John Duncan had given him a way out.

Seemingly choosing his words carefully, John Duncan paused for a moment before beginning, "Jane Adele is the owner of the body found in the garbage bins on Gerald Street. Twenty-four hours after the body was discovered, my men searched every public garbage bin in the North Loen district before finally piecing together Jane Adele's body. During the autopsy, we discovered that Jane Adele had been subjected to extremely brutal sexual assault before her death, and most importantly..."

John Duncan paused for a moment, then looked up at Connor and said slowly and deliberately, "When we first discovered Jane Adele's remains, our police found that some of the emblem's mark had been carved into her body. Once we pieced Jane Adele's remains together, we obtained a complete emblem, and that emblem is the emblem of your Ferguson family."

Upon hearing John Duncan's words, Connor's eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent. In his eyes, this was a blatant frame-up; someone was hiding behind the scenes trying to destroy him. As for who this person was, it wasn't hard to guess. But now it was clear that even though Connor had realized the truth, he couldn't tell John Duncan in front of him to clear his name.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so because of four badges and one badge on your person, Officer John Duncan, you think I'm the murderer?" Connor chuckled, feigning disdain.

"If I thought you were the murderer, you'd be in the Metropolitan Police Department's jail right now, waiting for those old men in the House of Lords to bail you out!" John Duncan said calmly. After saying that, he gestured for Miss Kelly beside him to leave Connor's apartment. This time, Connor did not stop them from leaving.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching John Duncan's departing figure, Connor shook his head slightly. He seemed to have underestimated this senior inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department.

This senior inspector did not seem to consider himself the murderer in this mutated murder case from the beginning. The reason he came here and acted so tough at the beginning was actually for one purpose: to test me and see how much I knew about this murder case!

"Victor, you old bastard, you're really ruthless, aren't you? So cunning, resorting to this tactic just to force me into this situation..." Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing in the direction of Green University, Connor clenched his fists and muttered bitterly.
