Struggle in the Steam Age

When Lawrence finished examining the unconscious Mr. Fontaine and Syfiel came out of the bedroom, the other two people invited by the hostess of the manor had already left. I heard from the servants that they borrowed the carriage from the manor and went to the Amber Honey Hotel on Purple Mole Street to find clues.

"What should we do now?" Saifei looked at Lawrence, who was touching his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face, and directly reached out and grabbed his arm, while an anxious expression appeared on his face. "Is it going to Zi Mo Street now? Those two people have been out for several minutes. If we are a little later, we won't be able to catch up with them."

"Zip Moli Street, don't we go there." As a warrior, Syfiel's hand strength was not small, so Lawrence immediately woke up after being caught in the arm. "We are now going to Far Harbor University."

Syfiel was a little puzzled, because she didn't know why Lawrence was not here or looking for clues on Purple Jasmine Street. But she didn't say anything but followed Lawrence directly into the carriage to Far Harbor University.

"You must be wondering why I didn't stay in the manor or go to the Amber Mead Hotel, but had to go to Far Harbor University." In the carriage, Lawrence began to explain his behavior to the confused Syfiel. "That's because I suddenly discovered a suspicious point after stroking this matter in my mind just now."

"Suspicious point, what is that?" Saifei asked, looking at Lawrence who was sitting across from him, "I think there are only two possibilities in this incident, and the most likely one is that the victim was in the hotel on Zimo Street. Dan encountered something, and there is a small probability that the victim brought something with him and hurt him."

"No, there is a third possibility." Lawrence smiled and shook his right hand finger. "That is that he encountered something very dangerous elsewhere, and this place is probably in Far Harbor University."

After saying this, he explained to Syfiel. "The lady just told us about his son's itinerary for the few days. One of the important points is that although it is the summer vacation of school, her son has been staying in school every day for his studies. "

"On the day of the accident, his child went to school after eating breakfast as usual. According to Mrs. Fontaine's recollection, his son was all normal at that time. But that night, the young man ran to Purple Jasmine Street. Up."

"Huh? It's not normal for you to say that." Saifei also felt something wrong at this time. "According to Mrs. Fontaine, her children are very well-behaved and don't usually touch these things. If this is the case, it would seem very abnormal that one person suddenly went to Purple Jasmine Street one night. Maybe—"

"Perhaps he was controlled by something at that time." Lawrence continued, "but I have to go to school to ask about these things to be sure. After all, a mother thinks his children are always the best. Now we can't Determine if he is really as good as his mother said."

After more than 20 minutes, the carriage arrived at the gate of Far Harbor University, and then Lawrence and Syfier walked into the campus together. Although it is summer vacation, there are still many activities for professors and students in the school.

After entering the school, Lawrence asked Sefer to sit on the bench next to the fountain to rest for a while. And he himself went to the office of the medical school to find his mentor, Professor Black. Fortunately, Professor Black is now in the office.

"Ah, Lawrence, it's you!" After entering the door, Professor Blake took off his monocle and looked at Lawrence, who was white-haired and blue-eyed, and said with excitement, "It seems to be the same as Liszt said. Great changes have taken place."

"By the way, I have been following you recently. Your article "On the Causes of Infections and Ways to Stop Infections" published in the Federal Medical Journal is very good. The above arguments and arguments solve many problems encountered by the medical profession before. , I think the knowledge in this article can save many lives. Seriously, if I read this article five years ago--"

For the next 20 minutes, Lawrence and his professor discussed the content of the article. Professor Black didn't react and ask until after the discussion of an important issue in the paper was over. "By the way, you should be very busy now, why are you free to come to me today?"

"It's like this—" Lawrence roughly explained what he was doing now and why he came to school today. Of course, he didn't elaborate on the specific situation. He just said that he took a task related to Mr. Fangdan, and suspected that Mr. Fangdan suffered misfortune in school.

After listening to his explanation, Professor Black was a bit dissatisfied that he did not devote himself to the study of medicine. He believed that if Lawrence devoted himself to the study of medicine, he would definitely become a leading medical expert before the age of 35. But he also understands that it is not easy for young people like Lawrence to get a foothold in a big city like Eagle Fort. It is too difficult to pursue this goal solely by virtue of the profession of a doctor.

Moreover, from all angles, being an extraordinary person, especially a spellcaster, is much better than simply being a doctor. In particular, many famous medical scientists are of extraordinary origin, so Professor Black only briefly said a word or two about this incident and reminded him not to forget the medical research, and he began to help him think of a way.

"You are very lucky, because I have a very good friend who works as a professor in the literature department." Professor Black took his hat from the side and put it on, then stood up and walked towards the office door. "And if I remember correctly, he happened to be on duty at school today."

Soon, Professor Black found his friend on the second floor of the office building of the Faculty of Arts. After just saying that there are things that need to be learned from Mr. Fangdan's classmates, the middle-aged man nodded without asking a word, and then walked out of his office.

"Professor Brown, this is—" Seeing the professor walking out from the back, Lawrence asked Professor Black next to him in a puzzled manner. UU read www.uukanshu.com. He didn't quite understand why the strange professor went out after listening to them.

"He sent someone there for you." Professor Black shrugged. "You must know that he was not only the youngest professor in the literature department, but also twice won the annual novel award of the "Federal Daily". But geniuses often have some problems of this kind, and Professor Brown is the biggest The problem is that there are some obstacles in interpersonal communication."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the professor walked in with the same expressionless expression as before. It's just that there are two students, a man and a woman, behind him.

"The two of them are the students who have been with Mr. Fontaine these days. If you have any questions, just ask them." After speaking, Professor Brown sat back in his seat and picked up a book and read it.

"Well, this gentleman and the lady next to you, please don't be nervous. I will only ask you to understand something today—"

In the next 20 minutes, Lawrence asked the two students carefully what Mr. Fontaine had done in the school in recent days. From their narratives, Lawrence found that Mr. Fontaine belongs to the kind of person who is devoted to study and has no distractions just like when he was in college.

According to their account, from the beginning of summer vacation to the present, Mr. Fontaine went to school on time every day and then went to the library or classroom to write things for the day, and never went to other places except for the necessary lunch and toilet.

"Then did you find anything wrong?" Lawrence asked after listening to their statements.

"What's wrong?" A nervous look appeared on the boy's face after hearing these words. "Can you tell me what happened to Xiao Fangdan?"
