Chapter 44

Outside crescent college, a large area of land that used to be a plantation has been turned into a weedy wasteland because of no maintenance. In the cabin close to the college castle, Antoine and Lena are discussing the next sales strategy.

Thanks to Piram Cola's popularity in the surrounding cities, cola, a trendy drink, has gradually become popular in the south of the country. Under the influence of master card marketing of bailena, crescent Cola has become a hot commodity again.

In some areas where retail stores are underdeveloped, even a bottle is hard to find.

Of course, most people like the mage card that comes with coke.

Due to the unprecedented good sales situation, Lena bought four skilled apprentices for Antoine to continuously produce coke. At the same time, he persuaded Antoine the week before to temporarily move the alchemy workshop to the hut of crescent college to ensure safety.

At the beginning, Antoine didn't want to move. He didn't think that the mean means mentioned by Lena would really appear in Piram's hands, but he finally moved out of his cabin for the sake of safety.

"In the future, we can buy a few shops in the old street, which can be used as an alchemy workshop for the production of coke on one side, and a direct sales shop on the other side. At the same time, we can open up customers' money to visit coke factories and so on."

Now Lena has invested in Antoine's Alchemy workshop in the name of crescent college, accounting for 22% of the shares. He has invested in technology in his own name, accounting for 31% of the shares. The rest is Antoine's shares. In a sense, Antoine's Alchemy workshop is now one of the industries of crescent college.

This situation is very common. In order to maintain their own capital operation, the larger schools will make various investments, including alchemy workshops and hospitals, lower level schools, business associations, etc. crescent college probably also has some industries in the past, but they have almost all failed in these years.

"This proposal is good. According to our current performance growth efficiency, it may be reached in half a year."

Antoine nodded. He took Lena's advice and cleaned up his face. Now he didn't look as depressed as before. He looked like a normal middle-aged man.

Dong Dong -

a knock on the door interrupted their discussion. Antoine opened the door and found that it was a familiar person.

Sheriff Sheila

Sheila in uniform nodded to Antoine and continued.

"Mr. Antoine, we followed your advice and laid an ambush in Antoine's Alchemy workshop in old street. We arrested some guys who intended to blow up your house tonight. Maybe you need to come to the town and help us make some proofs."

"Blow it up?"

Antoine was a little surprised. He didn't expect that what Lena had warned him would come true. That Piram would really find someone to endanger his personal safety.

"Mr. Antoine, you can go with the sheriff. I'll see about it later."

Said Lena, patting Antoine on the shoulder.

"Well, OK, I see."

Antoine tidies up his mood, then picks up his things and follows Sheila away.

And Lena, thinking for a moment, decided to wake up Claire and let her accompany him.

He needs a bodyguard who can fight.

...

after that, Lena wakes up Claire, who is sleeping with a barbecue like pillow, and persuades the sleepy teacher to accompany him to the detention house in the town at night by inviting her to have a big meal in the restaurant that the protagonist of the lonely gourmet went to at the weekend.

When they arrived at the sheriff's detention house by carriage, it was already after midnight.

Lunamia, near crescent college, is the town where the old street is located. It is under the jurisdiction of the city of prest. Therefore, Leslie and Sheila are equivalent to civil servants sent from the city to work in the countryside and are warmly welcomed by the local sheriff.

They commandeered a separate cell to hold Sanderson, while blocking all information to prevent the real culprits.

Seeing Lena and Claire, the two sheriffs smile and lead them to the interrogation room with Antoine.

"This observation room can see what's going on in the interrogation room, but it can't see this side in the interrogation room."

Leslie explained simply, which made Claire feel a little strange.

The trio and Leslie come to the observation room. On the other side of the room, Sanderson is locked in a chair, looking down, while Sheila is sitting opposite him with some papers.

"Sanderson Gran, do you admit that you intend to blow up Antoine's Alchemy workshop and kill master Antoine?"

Shera asked in a sharp voice, which made Sanderson shiver and look at the female sheriff in front of him with fear.

"I, I don't know..."

Sanderson still believes that Piram will save himself. Just as the novel says, he spends some money to bribe the jailer to save himself, so he doesn't reveal the truth."You know, if you are under the command of others, confession can alleviate the crime for you, but if you are determined to keep a secret, then we will think that you planned this case, and the death penalty will be waiting for you."

Shera said coldly, getting up to leave. Her words made Sanderson tremble, but she still didn't dare to sell her boss.

"We've interrogated your accomplices, they've recruited."

When she left the interrogation room, she seemed to mention that Shera's words stunned Sanderson. Her eyes were wandering, as if she was thinking.

At this time, Leslie left the observation room and replaced Sheila into the interrogation room. He took a glass of water and put it in front of Sanderson.

"Sanderson, I know that you are not a bad person, but you are temporarily hoodwinked. If you can cooperate with our work, you can reduce the guilt to the greatest extent."

Leslie said softly, feeding Sanderson a drink.

"We have contacted your boss Piram before. He is very sorry for what you have done and says that he didn't know about it, so Sanderson, you are saving yourself now."

This is the usual black face and white face strategy in interrogation. Shira's harshness is in sharp contrast to Leslie's gentleness. Where did Sanderson receive this kind of training? Leslie's words soon made Sanderson react.

Sanderson always thought that Piram was trying to rescue himself, but Leslie's words broke his illusion. Because of the panic and confusion, he didn't even think about the possibility that Leslie and Sheila deceived himself.

"I'm..."

when he wanted to say something, Sanderson thought about it again and again, and all kinds of the past appeared in his mind, and he finally said.

"Piram told me to do it."
