Chapter 853: Epson Digs His Own Grave
Behind Brenda was Aaron. When he heard Epson, he said, “It’s for your own good that we’re telling you guys to leave. Nightti is the peak period for murders. Also, this particular serial has a strange pattern. Once he starts, he kills a person a day until he has killed enough. His targets this ti are people involved in biodicine, like you. You guys are our key protection targets!”
Epson sneered. “That’s a nice way of saying it, but why do we have to stop while the lab next door doesn’t?”
Aaron was simply rendered speechless. “I told you, his targets are people involved in biodicine, especially professors specializing in genetics. The professor next door is not involved with biodicine, so he will be fine, of course!”
However, Epson didn’t believe him. “The way I see it, all these murderers and whatnot are all things that you guys made up, right? I haven’t heard of anyone who has died. Besides, everything was very normal in school today. Captain Brenda, I just insulted Anti, that’s all, isn’t it? I know that you and Anti are both Aricans and that she may even be your relative, so you don’t want to continue with my project. Ha, do you think I won’t know what your objective is?”
Brenda: “?”
She was dumbfounded. “What objective do I have? How co I don’t know anything about it?”
Epson said, “I’ve already asked my friends in Arica. Professor Anti has been conducting experintal research recently and her research is on genetics. She also hasn’t shown herself for several days. Heh, did she hear about my progress? Is that why she’s burying herself into her research and trying to finish her project ahead of ? As for you? You made up a story about so murderer to disturb and delay my progress. I’m not stupid, I’ve already seen through your ploy!”
Brenda: “??”
Nora, who just ca over: “??”
No matter what, she had to provide an explanation as to why she had suddenly disappeared in Arica. Thus, she had told Lily to say that she was conducting research, and therefore, not seeing guests. She didn’t expect Epson to spin such a story in his head, though!
To be honest, before she ca to Staav University, she didn’t even know who Epson was.
The corners of her lips spasd. Being seen as an imaginary enemy or whatnot was really irritating.
Brenda replied, “My sister-in-law isn’t conducting any research. You’ve misheard.”
“Sister-in-law? Heh, I see, so you and Anti have ties like that! No wonder you’re doing so much for her. Do you think I’d believe she isn’t doing any research just because you say so? In any case, my lab mustn’t halt progress tonight!”
Epson simply refused to listen.
Brenda took a deep breath. “I am in charge of campus security now, so everyone should comply with my arrangents! If you refuse to obey orders, don’t bla for taking action against you!”
“And how are you going to do that?”
Epson sneered, “Keep that for the scaredy-cats, I won’t be fooled. In any case, you don’t have to say any more. My lab will not halt progress tonight!”
After he spoke, he looked at the students. “Whoever wants to leave early, feel free to do so! I won’t stop you!”
As soon as he said that, the students looked at the police, and then at Epson. Then, one by one, they stood beside him.
“I’m not leaving, Professor.”
“Neither am I. I want to quickly finish this for the professor. We are only one step away from success!”
“Yeah, we’ve already worked overti for half a month. After working so hard for so long, we are just left with two days of work. How can we give up now? We must continue the experints!”
“We have the freedom to do what we want! You have no right to interfere!”
“Yes, that’s right! If the police force us to comply with orders and prevent us from conducting our experints, then I will report you to your superiors!”
“…”
She looked at the ignorant people in front of her, so mad that she was about to pop a vein or two.
Brenda: “!!”
She looked at the ignorant people in front of her, so mad that she was about to pop a vein or two.
In the end, she looked at Epson, sneered, and said, “Fine, you can stay if you want but please sign this waiver of liability for not obeying our instructions. Otherwise, I have to take full responsibility for any accidents!”
She couldn’t be bothered if so people wanted to court death.
She was a mber of Interpol. She was only responsible for arresting Barbarian.
She wasn’t going to pay any more attention to these idiots.
Brenda had never claid to be a ssiah. After solving so many global cases over the years, she’d already seen through a lot of mundane things in life.
Upon hearing what she said, Epson sneered. “Do you think we will be fooled if you use such things to scare us? There are so many professors of biodicine, I’m just a nobody among them. Even if the murderer or whatever really exists, they won’t target . Besides, you guys are the ones who keep bringing up the serial killer, we have never seen him before. What’s the big deal about signing the agreent? I’ll sign it for you! I will take responsibility for my own life!”
After speaking, Epson stepped forward and signed the disclair that Brenda handed over.
Brenda then looked at the students. “You must also take responsibility for their lives!”
Epson scoffed. “Of course!”
“Okay.”
Brenda took back the papers. Out of professional courtesy, she reminded him once more, “We will be patrolling nearby. At any ti, if you see anyone suspicious, make sure to yell. We will co over right away.”
Epson’s response, however, was: “Don’t worry, we won’t give you the opportunity to enter the lab to search for anything! You can forget about stealing the results of my experints for Anti!”
Brenda: “???”
