Chapter 1116

"Little Leaf, you're indeed very smart." The solemn look on Toby's face mellowed slightly as he smiled at her.

Meanwhile, Sonia snorted haughtily. "Of course, I'm smart! After all, I'm the first person to notice that there was something fishy going on with this incident."

"Yes, you are. I'll reward you handsomely later on. What do you think about that?" Toby's eyes darkened.

Instantly, Sonia's expression froze as she made a 'no' gesture with her hands in front of her chest. "No way! Don't even think about that!"

Don't even think about that? Toby was secretly scornful about that. I've already gone there, so how can I go back and change my mind? Since he had already made up his mind to reward her, he was not going to renege on his words. After all, he was not a fickle person.

Still, his thoughts remained as thoughts as he did not express it to Sonia. Otherwise, she would surely come up with an excuse tonight to brush him off.

As soon as Sonia noticed that he had stopped speaking, she thought that he had given up that notion, which rendered her relieved. Subsequently, she changed the topic and brought up the incident once again. "But then, how did you know that Professor Randall took a fall after retrieving the documents? You weren't at the scene, right?"

"This was according to the vice-chancellor's words; he had a good relationship with Professor Randall. As soon as Professor Randall's accident occurred, the vice-chancellor rushed over immediately. He saw Professor Randall's body, which was still clutching to the documents. Furthermore, the vice-chancellor confirmed with the leader of the exchange students that Professor Randall had indeed gone back to his office to retrieve the documents. I was the new mentee that Professor Randall was about to accept, so I naturally wanted to find out what happened to him. I went to the vice-chancellor and these were all reiterated to me personally by him. In fact, he's actually distantly related to Professor Randall. Also, the vice-chancellor's chances of gaining the chancellor position after the current one retired would be dependent on Professor Randall's achievements too because Professor Randall was considered to be working under the vice-chancellor. The vice-chancellor's achievements in the research world would also be linked to Professor Randall's research topic successes. That's how the vice-chancellor would be able to ascend to the position. So, I concluded that he would be the last person on earth to wish for misfortune to befall Professor Randall. Naturally, he would not lie to me about this matter."

approvingly. "Since the vice-chancellor knew that Professor Randall slipped when he came out of the room, then why didn't the vice-chancellor suspect that his death was sabotage? After all, the sudden appearance of a banana peel on the ground's just too out of the ordinary. Not only the vice-chancellor, but the police didn't find this incident suspicious either. They even closed the case swiftly by deeming it an accident, so it just seems kinda odd. I don't believe that the police didn't consider the suspicious points that even I could identify.

It's not normal for a death case to be investigated swiftly and then become a closed case so soon. Even if it was an accidental death, there would at least be a seventy-two-hour investigation before the police requested for case closure. However, this case was concluded in a rush by the next day, so that's abnormally fast.
