Chapter 856



Everyone laughed when Epson said that.

Gradually it was dawning outside. One by one, the professors of Staav University showed up for work. The students also gradually woke up in the dormitories and went to their classes.

Everyone had believed Brenda when she said with absolute conviction that Barbarian would definitely take action; after all, Interpol had extraordinary status.

Despite this, Epson went to the university president’s office and told him that serial killers or whatever did not exist at all. He even pointed out something angrily and said, “Professor Mayer was probably murdered in his home by people seeking revenge on him, but that group of people not only clings to this but even transposes it into a serial killer hypothesis. This is just the police’s excuse for their incompetence! There are so many projects to move forward at Staav University, are we really going to follow their instructions and get out of work on time every day? This is ridiculous.”

Hearing Epson, the other faculty and students rushing their work also approached the president to lodge their complaints.

“Our projects can’t afford any more delays! Since nothing bad happened in Professor Epson’s lab last night, this means it’s okay for us to work after hours too.”

“Yes, we can’t stop our progress just because of a killer that may not even exist.”

The president couldn’t stand the pressure of so many people, so he turned to Brenda.

“Captain Brenda, I know you are Interpol, but nothing happened last night at all. The killing pattern of that serial killer ‘Barbarian’ you mentioned is that once he starts killing, he must kill one person every day before he stops, but last night no one died. Teachers and students have started to object and complain that your regulatory measures are too strict.”

Brenda, who was wearing a military uniform, straightened her back. She looked at the president and asked slowly, “Are you sure nothing bad will happen to the teachers?”

“Yes, I’m sure!”

The president sighed. “Although we are morally obligated to cooperate with you, nothing happened yesterday that you mentioned, so I think you must be mistaken. It is impossible for Barbarian to be at the school. Another possibility is that the check was done right yesterday, so he didn’t have a chance to enter the school. I’m afraid we can’t cooperate with you any further.”

Brenda nervously explained, “Sir, yesterday’s situation was certainly unexpected and doesn’t fit Barbarian’s pattern of killing, but believe me, I’ve been tracking him for three years. There’s no way I could be wrong – he must be the one who killed that professor on the first day! He’s definitely here at Staav University.”

The president replied, “I believed him when he told me yesterday. When I asked him if he had any proof, he told me he was relying on his intuition. But, Captain Brenda, there are times when one’s intuition can be wrong. Do you have any real proof? For example, the traces of yourself that Barbarian leaves behind after he kills someone?”

A stern-faced Brenda explained, “He has always been cautious and leaves nothing but a poker card after murdering someone. When Professor Mayer died, there was a poker card in his house.”

The president sighed. “But what if the murderer did it deliberately to throw her off the scent, so that they would suspect Barbarian? The school conducts and researches hundreds of projects every year and many of them are pressed for time. They really can’t afford to fall behind! Captain Brenda, do you think…?”

Brenda’s expression tightened and she said, “Sir, do you know who Barbarian is? In the last three years he’s gone on five killing sprees, and each time he’s killed five people in a row before he stopped. Some of them might have been bad guys, but some of them were also innocent citizens. To kill someone, Barbarian once planted a bomb and killed an entire busload of people with it. He has no concept of life. He’s most dangerous when there are a lot of students in the school – I don’t think he wants murder to happen either, do you?! Once Barbarian shows up, if there are a lot of people around, there will be countless casualties. Are you sure he really doesn’t care?”

Brenda’s words made the president’s jaw tighten. After a while, he sighed and said, “Okay, you’ve convinced me again. But if after tonight the situation is still different from what you say, we may not be able to continue cooperating with you.”

Brenda nodded. “No problem.”

When she came out, Aaron immediately approached. He said, “Captain Brenda, what the hell is wrong with Barbarian, didn’t he do anything last night? All the teachers and students are now calling us useless and some are even telling our outstanding men at their posts what to do. Our guys feel really bad.”

Aaron gritted his teeth in fury and added, “That guy named Epson is especially terrible. He brought in his students and openly called us incompetent.”
