Creak......
Hoden looked at the teacher who led the way with curiosity, only to see that her hands were infused with a spiritual energy, and the special elements were intricately intertwined, even Heden could not accurately distinguish them, and then his hands were attached to the wooden door, and a matte light flickered, and the thin lines of light spread along the uneven plane of the door, and the frame of a psionic magic circle could be faintly seen, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened automatically.Can this be considered a type of combination lock?
Hodden couldn't help but open his mind, this was the first time he had seen such a type of "combination lock" in Iwabus, and he couldn't help but think of the "Permafrost Scepter" that also needed a password, these should be psionic devices handed down from ancient times, ancient and clumsy, and may have been gradually phased out now.But for a small number of people, ancient also represents historical heritage.What interests Hodden even more is that it's just an office, but with a combination lock, isn't that too grandiose?"
Welcome!"
The door of the principal's office opened, and a gray-haired lady took the initiative to greet her, with a gentle and elegant smile on her face."
Welcome back to Tarbes Girls' High School."
This lady looks to be in her sixties, but the delicate wrinkles and delicate makeup reveal the elegance of the years, even in the office, she is still dressed up, the grand and complex multi-layered skirt invisibly shows the luxury and elegance."
Sorry, we're bothering again."
Issa was a little reserved, and her stiffness could be felt in her body language.In the face of this lady's perfect behavior and demeanor, Issa's movements and expression are inevitably a little jerky; Moreover, the lady's eyes were always watching her every move, which made Issa uncontrollably wonder if her demeanor was not accurate, after all, it was really not her area of expertise."
No, no, no."
The headmaster smiled and shook his head slightly, "I said that we would fully cooperate with all investigations, and you are always welcome to visit us. ”The frank posture shows a strong aura.Issa paused and cast her gaze at Hoden, because this was Hoden's request to come to inquire again, and she didn't know what Hoden needed to know, but Hoden, who was supposed to ask questions, made the same mistake again at this time - I saw Hoden with his hands behind his back, bent over slightly, like a curious baby, circling around the office, exploring carefully, and sniffing around with his nose around from time to time, his appearance and elegance were not at all touched.Issa seemed to feel the Headmaster's inquiring gaze projecting towards Holden, and she was a little embarrassed, after all, Holden had come with her; But she knew that this was Holden's habit of looking for clues, and she had to maintain Holden's habits, which was also her job, so Issa straightened her back and cheered up.Although the headmaster in front of her was full of aura, Issa didn't even have the courage to defend herself, and her usual calmness and generosity became cringe, but she still opened her mouth for Hoden to explain, "This is our advisor, who has come to assist in the case, and he is a genius appointed by His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”From the words, it can still be seen that Issa is a little lacking in confidence, and directly moved out the name of "His Royal Highness the Third Prince", trying to increase Holden's weight, but Issa still stood up straight and used body language to express his support for Holden."
Oh, welcome."
The headmaster showed good qualities and did not give any opinion about Holden's youth, as if it were a matter of course.It's just that this kind of self-cultivation is superior to Bullock's.Then, the principal said with a smile, "Since you are visiting again, does this mean that there has been a major breakthrough in the investigation?"
If there is anything else you need my help with, or if there is any inquiry, please feel free to ask, we also want to know the truth and avoid panic. ”The headmaster still looked at Issa, not caring about Holden, obviously, it should be Issa who made the decision here, "We all thought it was an accident. ”If it wasn't an accident, it meant it might be murder, which was something that Tarbes Girls' High School didn't want to see, and it was also the deep meaning of the principal's words.Hoden was surveying the room, but his attention was never taken away, and what interested him most was that the headmaster hadn't introduced himself from beginning to end.Of course, it was only Horden who made his first appearance today, and Horden seemed to be a little follower, and he was wandering around after entering the office, and he didn't give the other party a chance to make an introduction.The principal omitted the self-introduction part, and there was nothing worth discussing in depth.If it is an ordinary person, such a reason is feasible; But the principal's etiquette is perfect, from words to actions to expression and attitude, so the loophole of "no self-introduction" suddenly becomes abrupt, like a stain on snow-white paper, which is particularly dazzling.Why is that?
One possibility is that the principal is aware of the problem and wants a quick fix; One possibility is that the headmaster is patiently waiting for Holden to introduce herself, and then she is completing her self-introduction, which is in line with basic social etiquette, although the position of host and guest is reversed as soon as she arrives.Another possibility is that the principal was very, very dissatisfied with Holden's outrageous behavior, and even disdained to show friendship to Holden, directly skipping Holden's communication with Issa, the kind of pride and nobility that exudes from the inside out, and completely despises Holden's every move.This is also Holden's speculation.On the surface, Bullock was the one who treated Hoden rudely, and his words and actions did not hide his displeasure in the slightest; But in reality, the principal is the one who is disdainful and even disdainful from the bottom of his heart.This is the self-esteem of the principal.She knew she should show Hoden friendliness, but her pride and dignity would not, just as a noble princess would not go into the slums and dirty her shoes.Rather than the principal, Horden was more willing to deal with a rectum like Bullock.Small details like this can say a lot.For example, Cardo's alcoholism should be a stain on the headmaster, who values etiquette, prestige, and honor.If the headmaster finds out about Cardo's personal problems, it's not impossible that she's the murderer; Even if it wasn't, the headmaster must have had a lot to hide about the cause of Cardo's death - is it possible that Cardo died of a homicide, but the headmaster reported it to the vigilantes as an accident?
And the security team sold the principal a face, and did not investigate in depth, so the case was not included in the security team?
There are many possibilities that can be deduced from a single detail, but Hoden can't just rely on his own inferences and intuition to draw conclusions, he still needs evidence to prove his intuition."
There is only one truth", Conan said.()
