The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 206

The beach was evacuated, but the mother did not leave. She went to Sophia and kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, Miss. I’ve heard of it. The jellyfish was poisonous. It would be bad if my son touched it… I’m sorry to mistake you as a bad man. I was just worried about my son.”

Sophia smiled, “Never mind. I understand you. You’re the mother, and you’ll be anxious to see your child being held by a stranger.”

The mother also smiled, “I was wondering how can a bad person be so beautiful. Anyway, thank you very much. Well, this is my card. If you go to Lands City one day, call me if there is anything I can do for you. I’ll try my best to help.”

Sophia had nothing to ask of her. Anyway, she would not ask her to do anything just because she saved her son. She politely took over the card and saw the name on it was “Bridget Thompson” and said, “Thanks, Mrs. Thompson.”

Bridget was about to leave with her son when Sophia stopped her.

“Don’t you want to know the result?” Sophia asked.

Bridget paused. “The jellyfish? Since it is poisonous, it should be killed or used for research. I don’t care.”

Sophia shook her head, “No, not the jellyfish. It’s the man who released the jellyfish. If I hadn’t stop it, the first one to be hurt by the jellyfish would be your son. Do you think it’s a coincidence?”

Bridget was stunned when she heard that.

Was that about her son? He was so young. How could it be?

Sophia continued, “Of course, it may not be about your son. After all, it’s not easy to control something like this. It may be for someone nearby. The police will investigate the details.”

Albert, Benjamin, and her were also nearby, and the target could be one of them, which was uncertain.

Not long after, the police arrived, and both Sophia and Bridget were called in to inquire about the situation.

The man named Beck and was recorded that he had been in prison for years for robbery, and he was just out of prison and did such a thing.

There was indeed an iron box in his bag. It was empty, but there was some liquid inside, which was probably left by the lamp jellyfish.

In addition, there was a piece of hard evidence, which was the site’s monitoring video. The camera nearby clearly recorded the whole process of him releasing the lamp jellyfish. He released it when the tide was out, so as not to be suspected.

Afraid of being identified by surveillance cameras, he dressed up like this. If Sophia hadn’t caught him, there would have been no way to know who he was.

Beck realized that he couldn’t deny it, and simply admitted, “Yes, I did it. I… I want to get revenge the society. Now that I’ve been found out, I’m going back to jail. I’m used to it anyway.”

The police repeatedly questioned him, but he refused to admit that he was instructed. He insisted that he was simply trying to retaliate against society.

Sophia frowned when she heard the result. “This kind of jellyfish is not available in the country. It is not something he can easily buy in the market. If he’s just trying to get back to the society, it’s too much trouble.”

She felt it was not simple. But Beck would not tell. The police had no choice but to take him away and try to find a clue from the lamp jellyfish source.

Bridget came back from the police station, shaking. She took Sophia’s hand and asked in a quavering voice, “Who tried to harm my son? My son… He can’t offend anybody, can he? What if this person finds someone else to kill him?”

Seeing that she was frightened, Sophia comforted her, “I told you. It’s not necessarily about your son. Anyway, take good care of him. Don’t let him out of your sight. It’ll be safer.”

Albert had been in silence before Sophia said that. “Are you and your son alone here? Do you want to come with us? It’s safer,” said Albert.

A woman and a kid were weak. It was easy to hurt them.

Bridget nodded, “All right. I don’t have anything at the hotel. I’m not checking out. If there’s room at your hotel, I’ll join you.”

She was worried that if she went straight home now, the bad guy would dress up as a passenger and hurt her son on her way home. She had seen Sophia catching Beck and knew that she was great and wanted to make friends with her.

***

Sophia looked at Bridget’s expression and felt that she should have guessed something, but didn’t say it.

Sophia thought it must have something to do with the adults. Bridget might have offended someone. Since she didn’t say it, Sophia wouldn’t ask.

Benjamin praised Sophia, “You have the potential to be a detective, sister. When my dad comes, he may take you as an apprentice.”

Sophia then thought of Benjamin’s purpose here and asked, “Didn’t you say you found something new? ”

Benjamin nodded. “I found out that professor Normand’s son seemed to owe a lot of money for gambling abroad last year, and he hasn’t paid it off yet. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the lab fire. But… I always think this guy will do anything for money.”

It occurred to Sophia that Professor Normand intended to participate in the new energy project. Since he was short of money, he should participate in it for money. If someone had paid him to do the lab fire a few months ago, he might have done it.

Professor Normand’s laboratory was in the same building as hers, so it was easy for him to get in and out. Moreover, as the head of the chemistry department, he didn’t need to be there to set fire.. He could make a spontaneous combustion device with chemicals, and he could even pinpoint the burning time to seconds.
