Chapter 3072 Mercury Notes (32)
Chapter 3046 Mercury (32)
Schiller was not in favor of dismantling the Blue Beetle for investigation.
As a teacher, Schiller could understand that the first generation of Blue Beetle gave this thing to Ted not only to enhance Ted's strength, but also felt that the students he taught could manage such dangerous goods and use it to benefit society. This was not only a gift, but also a responsibility.
Destroying it would certainly be a permanent solution, but it would certainly be better to have such a powerful force in the hands of one's own people.
Especially since the Blue Beetle's abilities are very comprehensive and there are almost no shortcomings. Although Ted is still too young and a little reckless, he has a good character and can become an excellent superhero in the future. It would be a pity to give up like this.
It is not advisable to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs when encountering a crisis.
Now, it doesn't really matter what the truth is. The key is to come up with a set of convincing answers that can not only explain how Bonu was killed, but also restore Zan's innocence, so as to eliminate the contradiction.
So Schiller looked at Zan and said, "Tell me what you encountered first. You must tell the truth. Don't hide anything. Just tell the facts. Don't add your own speculation."
At this time, Jenna held her brother's hand across the cage and said, "Don't worry, brother. No one can wrongly accuse you with me here."
Jenna seemed to use telepathy to say more. Zan barely calmed down. He took a deep breath and began to talk about his experience.
The timeline investigated through surveillance is correct. Zan was indeed the last one to come to this floor.
The problem is that he was knocked unconscious as soon as he came to this floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, the elevator door closed, so from the picture, he walked out of the elevator and walked towards the large classroom, but in fact, as soon as the elevator door closed, he was in the blind spot of surveillance for a while.
According to his own description, he saw a blue stream of light, and then he knew nothing. When he woke up, he found himself in the utility room.
The small classroom and the utility room are opposite each other. After the elevator door is closed, they are in the blind spot of surveillance. He should have been knocked unconscious in front of the elevator door and then dragged into the utility room.
Because he was the last one to arrive, when he arrived, everyone else was concentrating on searching for things in the room, so there was no witness to his fainting.
When he woke up, he was still a little dazed, but at that time he heard a sound coming from outside the utility room, so he pushed the door open to check.
At this time, Claude and Gonzalez had already left, the elevator did not stop at this floor, the elevator door was closed, and Zan's series of actions were also in the blind spot of the surveillance.
After opening the door, he found that there was no movement in the corridor, but in the small classroom opposite.
Here comes the key point. Zan is not as smart as his sister, but he is more cautious than his sister, and he is very self-aware. He knows that he is not strong enough and not outstanding. If someone comes for him, it must not be for him in essence.
So he judged this attack as the prelude to a conspiracy. In order to prevent himself from falling into a deeper trap, he chose to take a more cautious approach to explore, that is, to use his ability to turn into water.
Zan turned into water in the blind spot of the corridor's surveillance and flowed in through the crack of the door of the small classroom, but he found that it was broken as soon as he entered, and his body was out of control.
According to his own description, Bonu controlled him with water control for some reason.
This time, Zan panicked, because he had been attacked before, and he didn't see clearly what attacked him. Now when they met, Bonu controlled him again, and he thought it was Bonu who attacked him.
But he couldn't change back for a while, and he couldn't speak in this form, and Bonu's water control ability was very strong. Zan struggled for a long time and couldn't get free, so he became even more panicked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Bonu's control over him weakened, and he had no other choice but to fight to the death, and rushed towards Bonu's chest in the form of water.
He didn't want to kill this Atlantean woman, because he knew that the Atlanteans were protected by water, and he could at most knock the other side off.
But who knew that Bonu suddenly stiffened for some reason, and the water shield attached to the surface of her body didn't work. The water flow of Zan's incarnation went straight through her chest and killed Bonu.
That's why there was no murder weapon, because the murder weapon was Zan himself, and there were no signs of fighting because the two had no physical contact at all. Zan was controlled to float in the air as soon as he entered the door, and then turned into a stream of water and died in one blow.
After Zan finished speaking, everyone saw something wrong, because the surveillance showed that Zan went straight to the classroom after getting off the elevator. Even if he did pass through a blind spot of the surveillance, he finally arrived at the classroom, and the surveillance in the classroom captured him.
And several other suspects also said that they did see Zan, and they saw it clearly.
If he had been staying in the utility room, then who was the Zan they saw?
Schiller gave an unexpected but reasonable answer-it was a projection made by the blue beetle.
Although the students had not seen the ability of the blue beetle, and Schiller himself had not seen it, seeing that he was so sure, the students naturally thought that the professor must have seen it, and they had no doubts.
Schiller stated his own inference.
He used the holographic screen in front of him to call up a surveillance video, which was a video of Blue Beetle, Ted and the Atlantis sisters coming to this floor together.
They walked out of the elevator, that is, when the elevator door was not closed, they had some disputes. The last picture of the surveillance camera was them standing at the elevator door arguing.
The content of the argument was naturally whether to go to the small classroom first or the large classroom first. Of course, they went to the large classroom first.
But they obviously had not finished arguing when the elevator door closed. In other words, when the elevator door closed and formed a blind spot for surveillance, they were still standing there and did not move forward.
And through the recording function of the corridor camera, it can be judged that they stood in the blind spot of the corridor surveillance for about 20 to 30 seconds to discuss whether to go to the small classroom.
And this time gave Blue Beetle the opportunity to get away from Ted.
Although this beetle is relatively small, the surveillance camera is also high-definition enough. If it stands under the surveillance camera and crawls down along Ted's body, it will definitely be discovered.
But using this time, it can easily get away from Ted and enter the utility room without surveillance cameras.
When Zan left the elevator, there was a sound when the elevator door closed. Once the elevator door closed, a blind spot was formed in front of the elevator door. At this time, Blue Beetle crawled out again, knocked Zan down directly, and dragged him into the utility room.
He used energy technology to create a projection like Zan to enter the large classroom. As long as he moved faster, there was almost no time difference.
It used the projection to cover the large classroom, stayed with the other people, and stayed until the end.
Bono, Claude, and Gonzalez all left the large classroom and went to the small classroom, leaving only Blue Beetle and his projection in the large classroom.
At this time, the small Blue Beetle climbed to the edge of the window with the help of the messy boxes in the large classroom. Under the cover of the box that blocked a corner of the window, it passed through the glass and came to the small classroom.
At this time, Claude and Gonzalez had left, and only Bono was left in the small classroom.
Although the Blue Beetle could have attacked Bono directly at this time, it took so much effort to disguise itself as Zan just to drag Zan into the water, so it chose not to do it itself, but let the two of them clash.
Schiller speculated that the Blue Beetle was likely to have climbed onto Bono when she was not paying attention, or at least very close to her, and then attacked her with its energy technology, but this attack was not fatal, it just made Bono alert and suspicious.
At this time, Zan, who had turned into a ball of water, sneaked in through the crack of the door. The Atlanteans themselves were very sensitive to water. Bono, who had just been hit by something unknown, thought Zan was the attacker and controlled him as soon as he made a move.
As mentioned before, Zan had also been attacked before, and Bono attacked him without saying a word, making him think that Bono was the attacker, and the two of them confronted each other.
Zan was not Bono's opponent either. He was controlled tightly at the beginning, but there was a troublemaker on Bono, and after the interference of the Blue Beetle, Bono's control was weakened.
Bo Nu was too strong, and brought too much pressure to Zan. Finally, he had the opportunity to resist, and Zan could only choose to fight to the death.
At this time, the blue beetle showed its fangs, and it directly cooperated with Zan to attack Bo Nu.
Don't look at the blue beetle's small size. After all, it is a weapon made by an advanced alien civilization. Although Bo Nu is strong, he is only more prominent among the students, and is still not as good as the real strong.
One is in the light, the other is in the dark, one is attacking from the front, and the other is attacking from behind. Naturally, she can't stand it. The blue beetle broke through Bo Nu's defense, and Zan rushed with a stream of water and took her life.
After Bo Nu died, how could Zan not panic? He didn't dare to move the body at all. He hurriedly ran to the utility room opposite and contacted his sister with telepathy.
At that time, Jenna was still in class, surrounded by people. Fortunately, she had good emotional control ability and was not noticed by others, but she still hurriedly asked her brother to leave first.
After all, it was confirmed that Bonu was beyond saving, and Jenna instinctively felt something was wrong from her brother's description. She was worried that there were other dangers at the scene. If he stayed too long, he might be the next to die, so Jenna asked her brother to run quickly.
The escape route was also very simple. Zan could turn into water. After leaving the utility room, he could flow down along the gap of the elevator door and leave this floor without any effort.
The escape route of the blue beetle was also very simple. Although it was small, it was not small enough to drill through the gap of the elevator, so it could leave the small classroom and enter the utility room, then pass through the glass between the utility room and the distribution room, follow the smaller monitoring blind spots in the distribution room to the window, and then pass through the glass of the distribution room in the same way, enter space, and then return along the outer wall of the building to find Ted.
