Chapter 2504
“As for how the murderer escaped the building while evading all the surveillance cameras,
there’s only one way down, and that’s the fire staircase, the only passage down the building
that’s not being monitored. He could hide there until the next morning when someone
discovered the body, then pretended to be the owner of one of the units and walked down
to a certain floor through the fire staircase.
”
The assistant was puzzled. “Why would he hide until the next morning?”
Rory got up slowly. “Because all residents would leave for work or school in the morning. It
would be suspicious if he were to leave the building at night. So it’s better to take the
elevator and leave the building while staying hidden among the residents who were going
out the next day.”
Everything made sense all of a sudden.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Freyja smiled. “Of course, any perfect criminal’s MO will
still have flaws in reality. They’ll never escape the law. I wonder if my plot is reasonable to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou, Mr. Lancell?”
Rory looked at her with a hint of appreciation beaming from the bottom of his eyes. “My
nephew only gave you such a small idea, yet I really didn’t expect you to come up with such
a complete and comprehensive criminal scheme.”
You’re flattering me already. I’m still a rookie when compared to you.”
“You’re being too modest. Alright, I’ll agree to your terms.” After that, he asked his assistant
to prepare for the interview.
It was already 2:00 p.m. when Freyja returned to the college. She submitted all the
questions and answers that she managed to jot down during the interview to her professor.
The professor stared at her in surprise. “How did you manage to get Mr. Lancell to agree to
the interview?”
She smiled and explained, “Don’t worry, I didn’t ask Norman to help me out. Instead, I came
up with a perfect MO for my script with Mr. Lancell. That’s why he agreed to sit with me for
an interview session.”
A hint of satisfaction flashed across the professor’s eyes. “It’s no wonder none of the few
students that I sent to interview him before this could impress him.”
Freyja was slightly confused. “Have you asked students to interview him before?”
She understood the reason Mr. Lancell would refuse to see her before this. No wonder the
receptionists did not seem very surprised or confused when she told them she was a film
college student.
The professor took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief. “Rory was once my
student too. He’s a very smart man, and he was very persistent in the reasoning and motive
of each of the cases found in his script. What he always pursues is ultimate perfection, but
he’s also an arrogant man and only talks to people who share similar interests with him.
“The students that I sent to interview him, he didn’t even let them through for his
professor’s sake and rejected all of them. Of course, money, gifts, and all sorts of benefits
have been sent his way, but none of them managed to impress him.”
Freyja was dumbfounded.
‘Is it because I came up with the perfect MO on the spot and incorporated it into my script?
Did that make Mr. Lancell change his mind?‘
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe professor stared at her at this time and joked, “It’s a pity that you’re not studying
psychology.”
She gave off an awkward chuckle. “I’m just making things up here. I’d only cause the police
a huge mess if you were to push me out there to solve a real–life murder case. I can at least
control the murderers who appear in my writing.”
The professor laughed out loud too.
Freyja left the office, went downstairs to the academic building, and just so happened to run
into Norman and Leia talking and laughing under a tree as if they were talking about
something funny.
She walked over. “What are you talking about?”
Leia turned her head, saw her, and was a little surprised. “Didn’t you go to-”
Thinking of not letting Norman know about Freyja’s interview with his uncle, she quickly
shut up.
Freyja sneered. “The interview’s over, and I’ve just submitted my materials.”
Leia was happy for her. “Really?”
She nodded.
Norman crossed his arms and looked perplexed. “What interview are you two talking
about?” Freyja replied, “I interviewed your uncle, but I have you to thank for.”
