Chapter 3036
After reasoning, Schiller continued to say.
"It must be admitted that without conducting any inspection on this alien weapon, I cannot infer more of its specific abilities, so I assumed the most difficult situation."
"Which is, Blue Beetle does not possess stealth ability, cannot pass through metal walls with special materials, and cannot directly modify the memory of informed persons, nor can it control people's activities."
"If there were no such restrictions, then achieving this case would be easier. For example, if it could be invisible, there would be no need to consider monitoring blind spots. If it could pass through walls at will, there would be no need to escape with effort. If it could manipulate others at will, then there would be no need to make any projection, directly manipulating Zan would be fine, and after that, his memory could be deleted or modified."
Other students naturally also understood. Now in the situation where the truth is a black box, they can only guess. Schiller obviously assumed the weakest situation of Blue Beetle.
If he emphasized that it could manipulate people and modify memories, then perhaps Zan didn't faint in the utility room at all, but was controlled by it to walk through the whole process, and then was modified by it.
Which means, although the projection thing sounds very magical, it is actually assuming that Blue Beetle is relatively weak, and it will take this method.
But no matter which situation, the logic is relatively smooth.
However, there are still students who have questions, which is about the motive. He looked at Schiller and asked: "Professor, I can understand that Blue Beetle needs a scapegoat to divert everyone's attention so that it won't be noticed, but why is it Zan?"
Many people also have such questions. Actually, logically speaking, framing Claude and Gonzalez would be much simpler, after all, they were the last eyewitnesses and stayed in the small classroom twice with Bonu respectively. Framing them wouldn't be so troublesome. Why did Blue Beetle have to go far to find someone?
This is indeed Schiller's old profession. He said: "You only saw the case itself, but didn't see what was outside the case."
"Zan's ability is to turn into water, and Bonu just happens to be best at controlling water. In the situation of not knowing the truth, what do you think their relationship would be?"
The students immediately understood.
Bonu's ability actually just happens to restrain Zan. According to Zan himself, it is also like this. If it weren't for someone else's interference, Zan would have been controlled to death by Bonu directly, without any ability to fight back.
And this kind of restraint has nothing to do with the degree of effort, purely a problem of existence. Which means no matter how hard you try, there is a natural enemy in this world that you can never defeat, just like a mouse meeting a cat. In the eyes of this group of talented students, this is very desperate.
Associating on top of this fact, naturally, one would think that the relationship between the two could not be harmonious. Perhaps Zan would kill his natural enemy to get rid of her.
Others don't have such a strong conflict of interest with Bonu, and even if there are some quarrels and contradictions in daily life, they don't involve fundamental interests. The relevance is instead not as strong as Zan's.
Even if Schiller's analysis was already very smooth, after thinking of this point, the students still doubted Zan somewhat.
Because Bonu's existence itself threatened Zan's life safety. Whoever it is will mutter in their heart. This is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled at all. The motive for taking action is indeed very sufficient.
So Blue Beetle choosing Zan to frame can also be understood. This shows that its ability to collect information is also very powerful, and it has an understanding of the abilities of most students.
Naturally, some students also raised questions: "After committing the crime, why didn't Blue Beetle just leave? It is an alien creature itself, and it is not that it can't adapt to space. It can fly directly to an alien planet, and no one can do anything to it."
Schiller explained: "Then why did Blue Beetle take action against Bonu? Bonu's growth trajectory in Atlantis is clearly checkable. There is no secret on her body. What is worth an alien weapon taking action against her, and then flying away far?"
Schiller said it very clearly, and the students also almost immediately understood. Someone opened their mouth and said: "So actually, Bonu is not the key. She might just be unlucky. Whoever came here today is the same. Blue Beetle is to create chaos."
"But this also can't explain why it stayed." Someone immediately refuted: "Doesn't not being able to catch the murderer cause greater chaos?"
"This proves that Blue Beetle is also being used." A student immediately said: "And the person who used it definitely knows its relationship with Ted, knows that if Blue Beetle stays, there is a possibility of directly dismantling Blue Beetle to get the truth. The investigators might choose to take action, and Ted will have a contradiction with the investigators."
"The contradiction between students cannot affect anything, but the sharp contradiction between students and teachers will cause the greatest chaos, and it is even very likely to make the school fall apart."
Schiller couldn't help but sigh: "This batch of students is indeed very smart, simply understanding at a single point."
At this time, Arthur also raised doubts and said: "Although it makes sense, after all, there is no evidence, and I also need to give Atlantis an explanation."
"Then let us ask the greatest detective in the world." Schiller turned to look at Bruce.
Bruce said: "There is no evidence, but there is a life."
Arthur didn't even have time to frown, and the door was pushed open. The one who walked in was Bonu.
All the students let out terrified screams, screaming and retreating, Schiller was almost squeezed to the wall by them.
"Quiet! Quiet, don't panic! She is not a ghost!" Clark shouted at the top of his lungs.
"That's right, she is not a ghost, just dead and resurrected." Bruce said.
The students screamed even more fiercely.
Diana rolled her eyes at Bruce, maintained order with Clark, and spent a lot of effort to make the students quiet down.
Bruce hugged his arms and said: "I am an angel on the payroll anyway, how could I watch someone die in front of me? So I summoned her soul and stuffed it back into her flesh. Fortunately, you Atlanteans are made of water, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sew up such a broken heart."
Arthur pulled Bonu over to look. The clothes on her chest were still damaged, but the skin and internal organs had no problems. It didn't look like surgical suturing, but self-healing with water magic.
Now the victim is resurrected, what evidence is still needed? Just listen to her oral account, isn't it?
However, in Bonu's narrative, the part about herself is about the same as what Schiller described. The only problem is that she also didn't see clearly what attacked her.
She could only feel that she was attacked, and then controlled so she couldn't move, and finally was penetrated through the chest by a water flow. As for what exactly it was, if she could find it, she wouldn't have died miserably.
Which means even if the deceased is resurrected, there is not enough evidence to convict Blue Beetle. It did it cleanly enough.
But at this time, Schiller raised a question: How was the camera in the small classroom broken?
The rooms on both sides of the entire corridor are symmetrical, but there is no camera in the utility room, while the camera in the small classroom was broken an hour ago.
And from the content of the camera, it was just suddenly black. After checking the camera, it was found that it was an internal circuit short circuit. How exactly it short-circuited couldn't be checked clearly.
But no matter how it short-circuited, wanting to extend a black hand to this camera would inevitably leave some traces, especially since there is a camera every few steps in this base.
Which means the case that can find the murderer's flaw is not Bonu's death case, but the camera destruction case.
It is even possible that because destroying a camera is much simpler than killing a person, the murderer's plan will not be so rigorous, and the traces left might be more.
Sure enough, the smart butler and the students conducted a comprehensive analysis of the monitoring recordings 24 hours or even two days before the camera was destroyed, and finally found the key evidence.
The cause was that Diana formulated a physical exercise plan for everyone. She also knew that Ted couldn't control Blue Beetle, so the plan formulated for Ted was formulated according to human standards.
But this standard can be said that the vast majority of professional athletes cannot hold on, and Ted was trained to be miserable.
It was probably last night after Ted took a physical education class, he was tired and sweaty. He is relatively clean, couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory to take a bath, and went directly to the bathroom next to the gymnasium.
This bathroom is a public bathroom. Clothes and such are all locked in the locker outside, and people go in naked.
Ted didn't need to bring Blue Beetle in when taking a bath, so he locked Blue Beetle and his clothes in the locker, and he went in to take a bath himself.
This changing room is actually transformed from other rooms, so there is also a camera, but Blue Beetle is in the locker. The camera outside should not be able to capture it. Checking the monitoring of the changing room also didn't find traces of Blue Beetle entering and exiting.
Then in the case of not capturing the traces of Blue Beetle entering and exiting, it naturally defaulted to Blue Beetle staying in the locker. Blue Beetle also utilized this point. It directly used the projection function, passed through the partition of the locker, moved one by one in the locker to the blind spot of the monitoring camera, and left the locker without a trace.
As a result, you say it's a coincidence, Clark was also taking a bath at that time. Of course, he didn't pay attention to Blue Beetle at all at that time, so he didn't know Blue Beetle was running around in the locker.
However, there is a camera placed by Bruce on his clothes.
Blue Beetle thought that under the surface of the locker was all monitoring blind spots, running around unscrupulously inside, but didn't expect to be captured directly by the camera on Clark's clothes that he took off.
Of course, just capturing it running around in the locker can't explain anything. The key is that this Blue Beetle walked by and also caused this camera to short-circuit. The way of short-circuiting happened to be exactly the same as the camera in the small classroom.
This proves that Blue Beetle can interfere with cameras or at least carried some things that could cause camera products to short-circuit.
Although this is also not direct evidence, it can be used to persuade Ted to hand over Blue Beetle to them for inspection. It's just that this time it is not cracking the program, but figuring out what thing it used to make the camera short-circuit.
From Bruce's professional perspective, this kind of thing should be external, and Blue Beetle cannot control it well, otherwise it could have been turned on after arriving at the place, instead of being turned on all the way.
Sure enough, just below Blue Beetle's abdomen, everyone found a purple cube the size of a fingertip.
Even if the energy inside was exhausted, Schiller could feel that the power once stored inside and the curse on his body had the same source—the witch Circe.
