Chapter 2564
“I can understand that you want to help your friend.” Professor Merlin put on his glasses and started to sort out the
documents on the desk. “But I’m worried that it might bring you some unwanted trouble if you poke your nose in
it.”
Freyja nodded. “I understand. Only someone from a powerful family can kill an inmate in prison with poison. And
this powerful family is a threat to the prince and to the entire royal family.”
The prison was tightly secured. Even if they had someone in prison, an ordinary person would never be able to pull
out such a feat.
Besides, if they killed an inmate, it would also bring them a lot of trouble.
However, since they had the guts to do it, they must be capable of getting the trouble out of their way.
Professor Merlin crossed his fingers and placed his hands on the desk. He sat with his back straight and said, “So,
have you made up your mind?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreyja said sternly, “Yes, professor. Even if I can’t find out who the mastermind is, at the very least, I can figure out
why they want to do it.”
Professor Merlin pulled out a document and put it on the desk. “This is the report from the police and the prison.”
She was stunned. “How did you get it?”
He said slowly, “The police department has approached me before and asked for my advice. I met the suspect the
day before yesterday and had a conversation with him. However, he didn’t have the time to commit the crime.”
Freyja was dumbfounded for a few seconds. She looked at the document in her hand and said, “He didn’t have the
time to commit the crime?”
Professor Merlin nodded. “The food the inmate ate was poisoned, and the duty officer in the kitchen that day
became the first suspect. After all, he was the only one who had touched the food. But the food in the kitchen goes
through strict testing every day, and he stayed in the kitchen all the time. Even if he had the opportunity to put the
poison in the food, there is no way the machine couldn’t detect it.”
“Could it be that the person only put the poison in the food after testing?”
“Impossible. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in prison. Besides, all staff members have to go. through
a body search every day before starting their work at the prison. If he really brought any poison into the prison,
people would know about it.”
Freyja frowned.
The prison was strict, and everything had to go through a series of tests. The staff members were not allowed to
bring any dangerous items on them, let alone a bottle of poison.
So how did he do it?”
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.
Professor Merlin said, “Come in.”
The man who came in was a police officer. He had a handsome face and nodded at Professor Merlin.” Mr. Merlin.”
Freyja rose to her feet and said, “I’ll be going out first, then, Professor.”

Just when she was about to leave, Professor Merlin stopped her. “You can stay here. Don’t you want to know the

She was slightly surprised. Was she really allowed to hear something so important?
The man observed Freyja for a moment before walking toward Professor Merlin. He stopped in front of the desk
and said, “We have a lock on another suspect named Bart, but he was killed yesterday, so there are two murder
cases now.”
Professor Merlin said, “Well, this seems a bit tricky.”
The man lowered his eyes and said, “Yes. And this incident has something to do with the prince. The prince’s man
was just around when Bart was killed.”
Freyja’s pupils constricted, and she pressed her lips thin.
The man continued. “Mr. Merlin, we’re ordered to investigate these two cases. Since it might involve the aristocrats,
we hope that you can step in.”
The Merlins indeed had the right to step in. Besides, this case was related to the prince. If they wanted to
investigate it, they needed to get more evidence. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to take such a big risk. and go
