1495 The Seventh Dusk (2/2)
”Amelia, are you planting Snow Lavenders? I keep seeing them everywhere.”
”Yeah, I've spent a long time on this. I only have a few places left to work on. Sister Heidi, do come and check it out when it's done.”
Heidi suddenly recalled the last conversation she had with Amelia. She remembered Amelia's excited smile, one of great anticipation.
Heidi finally realized the meaning behind her smile. The girl had had a great conspiracy in mind all along. She wanted the whole school to witness her spectacular work over the years on a certain day, the dusk that would bring them such miraculous sight...
Instead, the girl was murdered. Heidi was the one who had found her body. She initially thought the girl had a hollow look in her eyes from fear, but she finally realized the girl was afraid that the others would never be able to see her work completed!
Having the thought while enjoying the stunning view of the school, Heidi uncontrollably burst into tears. She happened to cross paths with Amelia right before her death. Why didn't she stay behind to talk with her? Perhaps it might have prevented her from being murdered. She was such an innocent but impressive girl!
”This… unbelievable… this is unbelievable...”
A few teachers were experiencing a similar surge of emotions. Such an insignificant girl in the Alps Institute had brought them such an unforgettable sight. She had such a strong love for the Alps Institute, but now she was gone forever.
”Headmistress, didn't you notice anything strange?” Mo Fan asked.
”Not at all, it's very beautiful. I am utterly grateful to Amelia. I think I know how I should handle the Casas now.” Headmistress Perry's heart had finally calmed down.
”No, no, take a closer look,” Mo Fan said.
The observant Ceylan seemed to have noticed something. She pointed down at the mountain and said, ”It feels like something is missing there.”
”You're right, it feels like there's a part missing there. It's a very important part of our school emblem. Did Amelia carelessly forget about it, or was she unable to complete it in time?” Sheryl wondered.
Headmistress Perry looked toward the spot. Her expression shifted slightly.
”I believe you all know where that place is, right?” Mo Fan said.
”Roia Garden...” Headmistress Perry slowly uttered.
”The place is off-limits. Amelia wasn't able to go inside, so she wasn't able to complete the emblem,” Edith said.
Mo Fan shook his head. He looked at Li Yu'e, since he had gotten the information from her. She knew Amelia better than anyone. If she had not insisted on helping Amelia complete her work, they would never have been able to find out who the culprit was.
”Mo Fan, what are you trying to say? Stop being so mysterious,” Zhao Manyan blurted out impatiently.
”Call me Detective Mo,” Mo Fan blurted out. He added when no one reacted to his lame joke, ”Amelia is a stubborn girl. She actually went inside Roia Garden, even though the area is off-limits, as she knew she couldn't afford to not fill in the most important part of the emblem… but it's also the reason why she was murdered!”
