Chapter 91 - 91: Do You Doubt Me?

She showed her admission ticket and was allowed in by the guard.

It had been a long time since her last visit to Glinton University. The campus was still as quiet as usual. It was autumn then. The path was strewn with golden leaves. The breeze blew, and pieces of leaves fell down, branches rustled overhead.

It was still early. There were several students sitting on the bench reading. There were also students eating breakfast while walking.

Sophia had no time to enjoy the scenery and went straight to the lab.

She had not been here for over a month. Everything was the same as before and didn't seem to be repaired. The dark exterior wall was covered with some new dust.

Sophia walked into the building. The smell of burning was still in the room but much lighter.

She walked slowly towards the laboratory on the first floor where she used to work. As soon as she was about to go in, she heard a slight sound of footsteps from inside.

Just then, a deep voice sounded inside, "Who's outside?"

Sophia heard clearly that the man inside spoke English.

Sophia walked into the lab and saw a man standing there.

The man was tall, with dark curly hair and fair skin but obviously Asian complexion. He had light blue eyes, and he was wearing a large cloak and a black hat. What a very strange costume.

Sophia didn't know how to criticize his outlook, "Are you playing cosplay?"

The man laughed, "Can you tell who I am?"

"Sherlock Holmes?" Sophia guessed.

She had read novels about Sherlock Holmes. The characters' costumes were just like that.

"That's right!" The man clapped his hands, "You have a good eye!"

"So… you are a student from the school club?" Sophia guessed.

The man looked in his early twenties, no different from the school students. Sophia could tell that his light blue eyes should be wearing cosmetic contact lenses, but not born blue.

"I'm not a student here!" The man stopped smiling, and his face became serious, "I'm Sherlock Holmes!"

"Ha-ha…" Sophia laughed.

What a cold joke!

"I'm Benjamin Terry." The man introduced himself, "I am a detective!"

"Detective? The kind of detective who secretly followed the mistress and took pictures… Are you?" Sophia asked.

In her impression, the so-called "detective" generally did these things.

Benjamin frowned and shook his head at once. "I'm a real detective. I work on cases. I helped solve a lot of unsolved cases. I'm very famous… What does that look mean? Do you doubt me?"

"I heard there is an international criminal expert named David Terry," Sophia said.

Benjamin nodded at once, "Yes. He is my father!"

Sophia didn't believe him.

How absurd was that? They were not even of the same race. David was a white man.

She didn't want to debate that with Benjamin. She considered him a lunatic but not a normal person.

She came here just to see if there were any clues she had overlooked. Although it had been so long, she didn't think there was much hope to find something, but she still wanted to come to check when she got a chance.

She went to the door and examined it carefully.

Benjamin came to her, "Don't you believe me? I'm telling you, I'm here to investigate an unsolved case. A fire broke out here more than three months ago, and a famous scientist was burned to death. The police have not been able to solve the case. I happen to come here to do something. I feel that I have an obligation to find out the truth and let it come to light!"

Sophia said nothing.

There were lots of people who knew the case, and many should have been here to investigate. It was really a cold case. The man named Benjamin must be a detective fan, the crazy one.

Benjamin followed Sophia, "I told you my name. You should tell me who you are, right? You're interested in this case, too, aren't you? Do you want to be a detective? I can teach you!"

She didn't want to answer him and continued her checking by the door.

Benjamin followed up and said, "It's suspicious here. The door found the body. She might want to rush out. But why didn't she go out? There was a fire extinguisher near the body but without any sign of spraying nearby. How strange… It seemed like someone planned everything. By the way, I just took a look here. The fire was started from the beneath of the windowsill. It should be a spontaneous combustion mechanism made of chemicals. "

Sophia didn't expect to hear the same analysis with her.

Although the man looked abnormal, he seemed to have some skills.

She looked back at Benjamin and said, "My name is Sophia Green."

Benjamin laughed, "The dead scientist here was also named Sophia Green. Are you…possessed by her ghost? Ha-ha…"

Sophia was speechless.

Benjamin scratched his head and said, "This joke is not funny, ha-ha…"

Sophia didn't want to continue the conversation. She changed the subject, "You said you're David Alan's son. But he is a foreigner. And you two look different. How is that?"

"He is not my blood father. He once came here and solved a case of abduction with the local police and rescued many children. I happened to be one of them. However, communication was poor at the time, and I couldn't find my parents. He appreciated my cleverness and adopted me. Recently, the police are working on a database of missing children. It recorded files about missing children for decades. People can make a match through face recognition. I come here to see if I can find my birth parents." Said, Benjamin.

Sophia was surprised about his words, "I happen to have a brother who was abducted. If the database is done, maybe I can find him."

"Really?" Benjamin's eyes lit up, "Maybe I'm your brother, haha!"

Sophia didn't know how to reply to him.

She continued to check by the door, and she always felt that she could find something on the door.
