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.

They’ll never escape the law. I wonder if my plot is reasonable to you, 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.

Lancell change his mind?‘
The 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.”
