Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 31 Plant a gold coin and grow a golden tree
Taking advantage of the absence of Vice President Bard, Xio began to display her professional ability.

"Did you really pick up this string of bells from outside?"

Xio's indifferent tone carried a majesty that could not be rejected or lied to.

She is using her extraordinary ability as an arbitrator.

Amy timidly replied: "Yes, I picked it up at the foot of the mountain a month ago, and many people can prove it for me."

"What do you think of Dean Dahn?"

"It's bad, he often doesn't give us food, and he always threatens to put us in a brig in the basement."

"What about Vice President Bard?"

"Dean Bud is a good man. He treats us very well and always takes care of us."

"Is there anyone in the workhouse who is usually weird?"

Amy thought for a while before saying, "Dean Dahn, he likes to dream."

Xio became interested, "What kind of dreams does Dean Dahn like?"

Hastur, who was finally able to hear the follow-up to this question, also became serious.

"He always dreamed of digging a hole in the soil and planting gold coins in it, and then it would grow into a golden tree full of gold coins."

"..."

Hugh and Hastur were both stunned by this answer. They had imagined this kind of dream of getting rich before.

"When he wakes up in the morning, he will be angry because of the sudden disappearance of the gold tree, and he will yell at us as thieves for stealing his gold coins." Amy added.

"..."

Xio had a strange expression on her face. She thought she could spy something unusual from Dean Dan's dream, but this was the dream fantasy of an extremely money-grubbing person, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

Hastur pondered for a while and said, "Has Dean Dan ever had a dream of burying a child in the soil?"

Lecturer Furren's face changed slightly, and he looked at Hastur in shock. He remembered the cruel things his teacher had said before that the poorhouse buried children in the soil many times!
Xio also opened his eyes slightly, and listened more seriously.

"I just remember him shouting angrily that the thief who stole the gold coins should be buried in the ground so that his golden tree will produce more gold coins."

"Dean Da En really said that?" Xio had a bad guess in his heart.

"Well, many people have heard it, and we laughed in private that only a money-grubbing person like him could be buried in the soil to grow a golden tree full of gold coins." Amy's tone was very affirmative.

Xio walked up to Hastur and asked quietly, "President Dahn really did such a cruel thing?"

"It's just a possibility."

"It's disgusting! How could he not let go of children!"

Xio clenched his fists angrily, feeling even more annoyed in his heart why he didn't take a good view of Dean Da En at that time, but let him run away instead.

Hastur restrained the anger in his heart, and asked calmly: "On weekdays, how is the relationship between Dean Dahn and Vice Dean Bard?"

Amy lowered her head and thought for a long time before whispering: "Dean Dahn said many times that he would fire Vice President Bud, and once when he was very angry, he even said that he would lock Vice President Bud in forever." In the confinement room, let him be a prisoner for life."

"What was Dean Dahn angry about that time?"

"I don't know, I just remember that Dean Dan had a bad temper that day, and many people were punished by him."

When Hasta was about to continue asking questions, Vice President Bard and the police officers led a boy who was obviously half a head taller than Amy not far away.

After some questioning, the boy named Simon did snatch Amy's bell last night and sneaked out, but in the end he didn't have the guts to scare Aunt Lisa, but hid in the bathroom like Amy tonight Had a great night.

"That's fine."

Xio obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and returned the bell that he had collected to Amy, warning him not to come out and run around at night, let alone shake the bell at will, so as not to disturb others.

The two police officers also gave Amy and Simon a verbal lesson, and then asked Vice President Bud to lead them back to rest.

There seemed to be a misunderstanding tonight, and the two police officers didn't stay too long, and left here together after Vice President Bard sent him back to the dormitory.

The iron gate was locked again, and everything was peaceful again.

The two police officers and Vice President Bard went back to rest respectively, and the three of Hastur first returned to his room for a small gathering.

"Is there something you guys are hiding from me?" With a sullen face, Xio waved the triangular thorn in his hand and knocked on the table.

"That was told to my teacher by a man called old Jeff..." Lecturer Furren used his storytelling ability steadily.

After hearing this, Xio was very angry, and said very firmly: "Do you still have to doubt? Old Jeff must have discovered Dean Dan's crimes, and then was murdered by him!"

Hastur defaulted on Hugh's inference.

It is basically certain that old Jeff was killed, but even if the person who killed him was Dean Dahn, he would at least need a helper, right?

With Dean Dahn's character of being greedy for money and sacrificing his life, he would definitely not deal with old Jeff himself. There must be subordinates working for him in the workhouse.

Although Dean Daen was found guilty of various crimes in today's search, no accomplices who helped Dean Daen commit crimes were found.

This is a hidden danger after all.

Hastur thought for a while, and still told Xio what he thought.

Xio reassured: "I am also very professional in the matter of interrogation."

"Everything is bounded by the law, don't talk about violence casually." Hasta felt that he had to remind Xio.

"Me, where am I being violent? It's just that sometimes my methods are more direct..." Xio blushed slightly, and her confidence was obviously lacking in speaking.

"For the sake of our acquaintance, next time if you enter the police station because of such things, you can ask me for help."

Xio was very dissatisfied with Hastur's rhetoric, and said bluntly: "Looking for you? Because you are a down-and-out baron?"

"I'm also a lawyer, well, I'm now a legal adviser to Bavat Bank."

"..."

Xio was silent, and then asked in a low voice, "Is Bavat Bank very rich?"

"Not very rich, but very rich."

"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to rob a bank. I can only earn some hard money by working hard."

Xio sighed, suddenly feeling disinterested, waved his hand, and was not interested in continuing the conversation, and Lecturer Furren followed her away.

"I sometimes want to rob a bank too."

Hastur also sighed, but he was just thinking about it, just like Dean Dan's fantasy of planting gold coins and growing a golden tree in his sleep.

After locking the door, Hastur went back to bed and lay down, thinking about tomorrow.

Regardless of whether there is any news from Professor Wayne tomorrow, he has to go home first. He hasn't showered and changed clothes for two days, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

As for the remaining doubts about the workhouse, let’s wait until we find Dean Dahn.

Maybe it's just that I think too much, and the culprit is Dean Dahn.

As for the different sounds of the bells in the two nights, it may be because different people have different strengths, and the sounds made by shaking the bells are also different.

Hastur thought a lot, fell asleep soon, and chose to come to the Hall of Stars.

Now he has gradually become familiar with and mastered the Hall of Stars, and can independently decide whether to enter the Hall of Stars after falling asleep.

There have been a lot of worries recently, Hastur sat quietly on the chair with his eyes closed for a long time before looking at the star belonging to the lamp god.

The eyes are drawn closer, and the starlight is dispersed.

The phantom of the magic lamp still shone with a dim yellow light, very peaceful and serene.

Hastur stared at it for a long time before driving the Chains of Order to whip the whip as usual.

After diverting his troubles, he felt much more relaxed.

……

Early the next morning, Lecturer Furren knocked on the door again.

Hastur, who had finally taken a nap, was woken up, got up and straightened his clothes before slowly opening the door.

If Lecturer Furren came to disturb his sleep for some trivial matter, then he would not mind letting Lecturer Furren feel what cruelty is.

Fortunately, the news that Lecturer Furren brought was shocking and a great joy.

Professor Wayne found it!
It is said that Professor Wayne returned to his house at two or three o'clock last night, and was quickly discovered by the police officers who were closely watching the area.

Then the news came to the dock area early in the morning, and Lecturer Furren was the first to notify him when he received the news.

Hastur said with a bad face: "Professor Wayne walked back by himself?"

"That's what they say."

"Hehe, what luck."

Hastur's complexion became more and more unkind. He was only suspicious before, but now he is sure that this disappearance was directed and acted by Professor Wayne himself!

He didn't care that Professor Wayne replaced his own role, what made him angry was that Professor Wayne didn't say anything in advance, causing him to worry about here!

Lecturer Flon coughed lightly and said, "Well, I don't think the teacher did it on purpose, maybe he just left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to us."

"Lecturer Furren, when you were eating white bread and being so anxious that you couldn't fall asleep, Professor Wayne must be alone, drinking a small wine in silence, and spending a very sad night with burnt sausages. "

"..."

Based on Hastur's description alone, Lecturer Furren could only feel his anger rising instantly.

Suddenly very angry!
