Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 93 The Murderer of Christine

Scarlett took Saviour on a tour of the research institute.

The research institute is very large, and security gates are set up in every area; you need to have the necessary authorization to enter.

Sylvia didn't have the necessary permissions and couldn't enter anywhere. Scarlett wasn't worried. Since they couldn't get in, she took Sylvia to look at the bulletin board outside to get some other information.

The whole morning passed.

Scarlett discovered something very strange.

Besides the core departments, other departments experience varying degrees of personnel changes every year, which are not simply about promotions or departures, but also about transfers to other positions.

The person who changed jobs the most changed five times in one year.

Scarlett continued scrolling through the LED screen and discovered that the information available on the bulletin board was limited to the past year.

It won't last more than a year.

Looks like I'll have to go to the dean's office again.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, turned around and walked away, appearing openly with Sylvia downstairs in the office building.

She sent Hill a message.

Hill arrived downstairs quickly.

Scarlett introduced Hill: "Hill, this is my beast husband, Saviour, who came here specifically to serve me."

Sevier greeted her politely, "Hello."

Hill glanced at Sevier, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency Sevier."

Savior was a prince of another star, and Hill dared not be negligent towards him.

After she finished her bow, she looked at Scarlett again. "Your Highness, the lounge is ready. Would you like to go there now?"

"of course."

Scarlett smiled and said, "After I finish resting, I need to go to your file room. Could you please grant us access?"

Hill hesitated and said, "Your Highness, although the document room contains some unimportant documents, they are, after all, the property of the research institute, and it is really inconvenient for anyone to read them. If Your Highness wants to know anything, you can ask me directly."

Scarlett nodded. "It's not that I absolutely have to go to the documents room. But..."

She frowned, looked down at the tips of her shoes.

Scarlett was still wearing the same shoes she wore on her first day at the research institute, except that the dazzling sapphire on the toe was gone.

Hill followed her gaze downwards, and the gap at the toe of her shoe made her brow twitch.

She looked up and saw Scarlett frowning as she said, "These shoes of mine are priceless, especially the sapphire on the toe. But the sapphire disappeared two days ago, and I'm heartbroken. I've thought about it for a long time, and I've only been to a few places and had people search for them, but to no avail. Right now, the only place left is your archives, Dean."

Scarlett looked at her and said with a smile, "Hill, you won't refuse me, will you? It's okay if you refuse. I can inform His Majesty and have her send someone to look for me. She loves me the most and will definitely help me find it. I'm just afraid that too many people will come and mess up your archives. Please don't mind."

Hill chuckled softly, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.

A princess without power only knows to seek out the emperor when she encounters problems, using the emperor's power to intimidate others. Little does she know that the emperor also has constraints. Such trivial matters will not alarm the emperor at all, but will instead entangle her in a quagmire.

How naive!

Hill's dismissive expression lasted only a moment before he said respectfully, "Your Highness, you flatter me. This is a trivial matter, no need to trouble His Majesty. Your item is precious, and I will certainly find it for you. I wonder if Your Highness would like me to send someone to accompany you in the search?"

"no need."

Scarlett linked arms with Sevier. "With my beast husband here, he can help me find it."

Hill nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

……

……

Upon re-entering the document room, Scarlett noticed that the layout had changed somewhat.

The filing cabinets that were originally arranged horizontally are now arranged vertically, and the distance between the filing cabinets has been greatly shortened.

Previously, it could accommodate two people passing side by side.

Now, it's difficult for a single person to even turn around.

Scarlett counted the number of filing cabinets; none were missing.

Although she was puzzled by Hill's motives, she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she stopped thinking about it and focused on doing what she needed to do.

"Sevier".

Scarlett gave Sevilla a wink.

Savia nodded and immediately released her Absolute Domain, which spread throughout the entire filing room.

Scarlett walked up to the filing cabinet of the departing employees.

She dug out Christine's file again, photographed it with a miniature camera, and uploaded it to her personal computer for safekeeping. Last time, she wanted to use a webcam to photograph these documents as evidence for easy access at any time.

But for some reason, as soon as she left the filing room, the footage she had taken was automatically invalidated.

It's likely that someone used superpowers.

This time, she wanted to test whether Sevier's powers could be neutralized.

Scarlett photographed all of Kristen's information.

When you turn to the last page.

She was stunned.

Someone responded to what she had written there.

The man said: Christine is dead.

The handwriting is very fresh, with a few traces of ink still visible at the end of each stroke, indicating that it was written not long ago.

Did someone know she was coming back and deliberately tip her off?

but.

What's the point of just telling her Christine is dead? She needs evidence to investigate further.

Scarlett put the photo back where it was after taking it.

Although that sentence was swirling in her mind, she didn't delay her next move.

She went through the information of other departing employees one by one.

Two things were found to be in common between them.

First, he came from a commoner background.

Second, their departure dates were all in July.

Scarlett then went to the current employees.

While recalling the names he saw on the bulletin board, he rummaged through the file folder.

Those who were promoted came from various prominent families in the capital, either from families that had served as officials for generations, or from royal nobles who had inherited titles and controlled certain resources.

Those who are constantly transferred to other positions are considered second-best.

However, their family also wields considerable influence in the capital.

After Scarlett took the last photo, a bad thought popped into her head.

She picked up one of the documents and compared it with another document from the departing employees.

age.

Mental strength level.

superpowers.

The project being studied.

The same.

After successfully developing an anti-insect vaccine and finding it clinically effective, the former led his family to voluntarily receive the first dose of the vaccine.

He successfully rewrote the painful history of the Orcs being devoured by the Zerg's venom, making a name for himself in academia and achieving great success.

the latter.

He resigned for unknown reasons.

Scarlett paused for a moment, then pulled out other file folders for comparison.

The results were roughly the same.

Every project that a former employee once researched has been realized by someone else.

Scarlett's hand trembled, and the document fell to the ground.

She picked it up, put it back into the original file folder, and put it back in its place.

After thinking for a moment, she took out Christine's file folder again.

Holding the file folder, I walked to the filing cabinet for current employees.

Christine is researching advanced tranquilizers.

It had succeeded before, and the reagent was developed, but unfortunately it encountered the original owner, which damaged the reagent and forced it to start all over again.

Does this mean that if we find out who the researchers are working on the advanced tranquilizer, we can find out who killed Christine?
