Chapter 1116 Stanley''s Death


    "I see." Sydney nodded her head and then frowned tightly. "You just said that Mr. Dodson had


    stepped on a banana peel in front of his office door, fallen, and died on the spot. Was it a little too


    coincidental?"


    At these words, Julien was stunned.


    Quickly, he reacted and narrowed his eyes. "Go on."


    Sydney nodded and continued, "Look, you thought Mr. Dodson or Mr. McDaniel was most likely to


    be your teacher, but in fact, the one you preferred was Mr. Dodson, not Mr. McDaniel. Moreover,


    you and Mr. Dodson had already chosen each other and even arranged the date for a party. Why


    was it so coincidental that he stepped on a banana peel the day before the party? Most importantly,


    how did the banana peel appear in front of his office? Although things like bananas are very


    common, banana peels cannot be found everywhere. Normal people would not throw these things


    around, let alone at the door of a university professor''s office. There is obviously something fishy


    about it."


    She looked at Julien''s increasingly tense face, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Now even


    the main roads are cleaned frequently. It is impossible that there is no one cleaning a teachers''


    office building."


    "Are you trying to say that the banana peel that Mr. Dodson stepped on was thrown there by


    someone on purpose?" Julien''s hands were slowly clenched on the table.


    Sydney looked at Julien''s gradually icy expression and slowly said, "Yeah, I do have this suspicion.


    After all, Mr. Dodson''s ident happened too coincidentally. It was right the day before the party,


    and that banana peel was very suspicious. I don''t think it was an ident... It was highly likely a


    conspiracy. Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe it was really an ident."


    As soon as Sydney''s words came out, Julien shook his head. "No. Maybe your guess is right, and


    that was a conspiracy."


    Sydney''s eyes widened.


    Julien narrowed his eyes and said, "Back then when Mr. Dodson''s ident happened, I wasn''t at


    school but at the Flint Corporation, and I didn''t know about it until the next day. We arranged to


    have a party that day. However, when I went to Mr. Dodson''s house, I learned that Mr. Dodson had


    passed away and that his body had been cremated. Also, the police had closed the case, saying


    that it was an ident. Because of this, I never thought that Mr. Dodson''s death might have other


    reasons, and I always treated it as an ident. I never thought much about it until you just said that


    there was something fishy about Mr. Dodson''s ident. Only then did I realize that there was


    indeed something wrong."


    As Sydney said, why did Mr. Dodson''s ident happen right on the day before that party?


    And it didn''t make sense why banana peels would appear at the door of an university professor''s


    office.


    He went to the top university in the country. The students there were all well-educated. They would


    not litter.

    Neither would the professors in the office building.


    And Sydney was right about the cleaning work. Even ordinary main roads would be swept


    frequently, and it was usually clean.


    Naturally, there were many cleaners in the teachers'' office building. They would patrol the floors with


    their cleaning tools every half an hour.


    That was because there would be famous people visiting his university from all over the world at


    any time, so keeping the environment clean was one of the most important things for the university.


    So normally speaking, it was absolutely impossible for something like a banana peel to appear at an


    office door in Julien''s university.


    This was very weird.


    Looking at Julien''s fluttering eyshes, Sydney thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you


    think of something?"


    Julien lifted his head. "I did think of something fishy. Although I didn''t witness the ident, I did


    inquire about it from the vice principal, who told me that there was a foreign university''s economic


    inspection team in our school on a visit. Mr. Dodson was responsible for showing them around the


    school. During that period, Mr. Dodson and the team leader got along especially well. The two were


    bigwigs in economics, so they naturally had a lot ofmon topics. Mr. Dodson had been doing a


    research project about the future development of economics. Although the team leader did not


    study this field, he had unique insights, so the vice principal said that Mr. Dodson was thrilled when


    talking about this topic with that person."


    Sydney covered her lips andughed softly, "That must be true. It''s exciting for one to meet people


    who havemon topics with him. My dad liked to y chess, but he was bad at it, so his friends


    were not willing to y chess with him. One day, my dad met a person who was also bad at chess


    but loved it. My dad was so happy at that time because he would have someone to y chess with


    him in the future."


    Julien raised his chin. "That''s it. After talking about the research project with that team leader, Mr.


    Dodson wanted to show the results of his research to him."


    "So he went back to the office to get the documents?" Sydney guessed, rubbing her chin.


    Julien nodded. "Yes, but there''s one thing I didn''t make clear to you just now, and I just remembered


    it."


    "What is it?" Sydney looked at Julien.


    Julien''s fists were clenched tighter. "After Mr. Dodson got the documents and just walked out of the


    office, he stepped on the banana peel and fell."


    At these words, Sydney pped the table. "You mean that he was fine when he went to his office to


    get the document. It''s clear that there was no banana peel at the door before Mr. Dodson went into


    the office. Otherwise, he would have seen it. So the banana peel appeared at the door after Mr.


    Dodson entered the office."


    "You''re right." Julien nodded. "It couldn''t have taken Mr. Dodson a long time to get the documents


    because he knew where they were."


    "Definitely." Sydney shrugged her shoulders. "He was surely familiar with his own things, especially


    the research documents that he had been working on. They must have been put somewhere he


    often stayed and could easily reach. This ce was very likely to be his desk. Then I guess Mr.


    Dodson spent at most three minutes in the office. The banana skin was thrown there during this


    short period. That is to say, someone had been keeping an eye on Mr. Dodson or even tailing him. If


    not, they couldn''t have thrown the banana peel right at this period and escaped easily."
