The meteorite fragments had never been stolen!
Despite possessing the rules loophole superpower, M had not taken the fragments. M had never intended to seize the fragments at the Research Institute.
Of course Sheng An knew M had not ordered Academician Liu to do it, because she had done it herself.
-So the fragments had never been stolen. It had all been a carefully laid plan.
-A plan to make everyone believe the fragments had been stolen.
Ruan Zifeng had only just figured it out. Now he looked at Sheng An with awe in his eyes:
"From the moment you entered the Meteorite Research Institute and confirmed that Academician He had died by 'suicide,' you asked whether anyone had entered the Sealed Laboratory. Once you confirmed no one had, you gave Mountain Blossom an order: if the fragments were still inside, she was to use her superpower to steal them. Am I right?"
Sheng An nodded.
When they opened the case and found the fragments gone, they assumed Academician Liu had stolen them using his rules loophole. In truth, it had been Mountain Blossom.
Then, under the pretext of bringing Old Chu to the Research Institute, she sent Zhang Kun and Wu Buyu away.
One had a spatial ability and could store the fragments. The other had Mind Reading and could vaguely understand what Mountain Blossom wanted to convey.
That was it!
When Academician Liu exposed his rules loophole, Qiu Yu had been unhappy that Sheng An was not using her superpower, and Mountain Blossom, Zhang Kun, and the others happened to be absent... In fact, it had all been arranged beforehand.
She made everyone believe Academician Liu had taken the fragments, including M.
And so M killed Academician Liu.
Was Academician Liu important?
Just as the Meteorite Research Institute
