Chapter 31: Clearing Suspicion
Tian Tian and they couldn't have imagined that this emerald was originally used to blame them for stealing, and now, although it is a fact that it was stolen, this blame is completely different, and there is a new conspiracy waiting for them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to such a big thing happening in the Elven Forest, it is inconvenient for Dark Chocolate and Tian Tian, outsiders, to wander around the forest anymore, in case they are suspected of having ulterior motives.
And Linlin, with all their hopes, finally found the Great Elder and was willing to listen to her explanation.
"Great Elder, please believe us, we really didn't steal Her Majesty's gems, this must be a conspiracy of the Dark Demon Clan, they must want to take the opportunity to control our Elven Clan, and we just appeared at a coincidental time, which makes people feel suspicious, please Great Elder must believe us."
Lin Lin took a lot of effort to meet the Great Elder, if it weren't for Lin Lin's good popularity in the forest, I am afraid that in this emergency situation, no elf would be willing to help her.
The elves who brought Linlin to the Great Elder also said good things for her: "Yes, Great Elder, you also know, how simple and kind Linlin is, this is obvious to everyone, she will never betray our elf clan, please give her a chance." ”
The Great Elder shook his head in disappointment and looked at Linlin, with a sense of confusion and sadness that he didn't believe it, but had to think about it, "The matter has already been revealed, how can you make me believe you?" Do you know that Her Majesty has already locked up the prisoners for you, and if it weren't for the fact that the Dark Demon Clan is also in the forest, I am afraid that you would have been arrested and tortured by now. ”
Lin Lin did not give up, and persuaded with great force: "Great Elder, we also know that the timing of this incident is too coincidental, but I know that Her Majesty and the major elders are reasonable people, and they will not inflict unnecessary charges on us without real evidence, so please give us a chance to prove our innocence." ”
"Proof? How can you prove that you can catch the real culprit? "The current Great Elder is also very conflicted in his heart, he wants to support them very much, he wants to believe that this is not what they did, but there are some facts in front of him, and he can't help but believe it.
"We can, even if we have to catch the real culprit to prove our innocence, we are more than willing to do so, as long as the Great Elder gives us this opportunity and time." Linlin does not carry herself, but everyone's hope, so she must fight for more time and opportunities for everyone.
"Just you? Or are you suspects? The Great Elder shook his head and asked in a tone of disbelief: "If you are sure, you will not be the only one who has come, and if they don't come forward, then it proves that you are still thinking, even if you didn't steal it, you are not completely sure that you can catch the real culprit, right?" ”
"Please give us time," Lin Lin didn't expect their situation to be seen through by the Great Elder, so she paused slightly, and insisted again: "We can." ”
"If you really can, then come with your full plan, but first you have to clear your suspicions, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." The Great Elder was eager to believe them, but he had to make sure that they weren't criminals, and only then would he give them the opportunity to investigate further.
After returning from the Great Elder, Lin Lin lowered her head and conveyed the Great Elder's words to Tian Tian and Dark Chocolate.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get things done, and I didn't make the Great Elder bring here." Linlin felt that it was because of her lack of ability that she had put everyone in the predicament they were in, so she felt very guilty.
After listening to it, Tian Tian watched the dark chocolate's reaction for a while, and saw that she didn't answer Linlin, nor did she comfort her, so she grabbed Linlin's hand and comforted her: "It's okay, as long as we can prove that we are not prisoners, then we can join the ranks of this prisoner, so that we can find out this hateful guy and beat him severely." ”
But the dark chocolate has not been silent, and Linlin feels that this is her fault, so her eyes glance in the direction of the dark chocolate from time to time, as if seeking his forgiveness.
Two minutes later, the dark chocolate still didn't react, and Tian Tian couldn't help but call out, "Hey, dark chocolate, how are you now?" Speak up, it's not a way to sit like this and keep silent, why do we have to do something? ”
Dark Chocolate, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, had to raise her head, look at Tian Tian with eyes that couldn't fit into the world of the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm dizzy, are you listening to what we're talking about?" Tian Tian bit her lip and glared at the dark chocolate, obviously with a disgruntled rage.
"Oh......" Dark Chocolate first responded, then lowered his head, pondered for a moment before saying: "It seems that the queen and the great elder have already locked up the suspect, and the queen is locked on us, and the great elder may be because the knife boy is a person from the dark demon clan who feels more suspicious, so they didn't fall all their eyes on us." ”
"En, according to Linlin's words, it should be like this." Tian Tian nodded in agreement.
"It's just that in the heart of the Great Elder, he still doesn't fully trust us," Dark Chocolate continued to dissect the Great Elder's psychology and said, "He has this request, which proves that in his heart, we are also one of the suspects, if we don't find a way to prove our innocence as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the elders will not be able to stand the pressure of the queen and imprison us." ”
"That's why we have to do something." Tian Tian suddenly felt that what Dark Chocolate had said earlier was all nonsense, and she didn't get to the point.
Of course, Dark Chocolate knew it, but he needed to sort everything out so that things could be resolved satisfactorily.
"Linlin, did the Great Elder say that we need to prove that we are innocent?" Dark Chocolate seemed to suddenly think of something and asked urgently.
Lin Lin recalled for a moment, and didn't expect the Great Elder to say anything special, so she shook her head and replied, "No, it's just that if we want to join the investigation, we must first prove our innocence." ”
"That's easy...... Dark Chocolate slapped the table excitedly, as if he had found a way to explain, "Let's go, let's go to the Great Elder now and let him know that we have nothing to do with this gem theft." ”
Tian Tian and Lin Lin both felt confused and couldn't understand it, but the dark chocolate looked confident, which made the two of them scratch their heads.
With dark chocolate and sweetness, Linlin turned back and asked to see the Great Elder.
When the Great Elder heard this, he hesitated for a while, and he would discuss them later.
"What's wrong? Did you find evidence of your innocence so quickly? The Great Elder couldn't help but ask when he saw the smile that was still smiling at the dark chocolate.
Dark Chocolate nodded yes, and then asked the Great Elder, "May I ask the Great Elder, the theft was from last night?" ”
"Yes, the exact time has not yet been determined." The Great Elder stroked his beard, and did not hide this well-known fact.
Dark Chocolate, on the other hand, was pleased with the time, "The Great Elder, we can tell you very loudly that this theft has nothing to do with us. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The Great Elder felt very strange, why was the gem stolen at that time, and it had nothing to do with them? Could it be that they have witnesses or physical evidence to prove that they did not commit crimes?
Not to mention the Great Elder, even Tian Tian and Lin Lin looked at the dark chocolate with surprised eyes, as if they wanted to know what was going on.
Dark Chocolate took out a memory stone from his bosom, put it in his palm, and pointed at it: "It, that is, it can prove that we did not leave the residence last night, and at the same time it can find out if there are characters and at the same time prove whether we have left." ”
"Memory Stone?" Tian Tian asked in shock: "How can you take such an expensive stone and record something that doesn't hurt, this is so expensive, didn't you tell me last time, did you give it to me?" ”
Tian Tian was very angry, because this is a memory stone is too expensive, one costs 30,000 gold coins, which is enough for him to buy an unknown number of materials, so he reached out and wanted to confiscate it.
But Dark Chocolate hurriedly put away his palms and protected the only evidence that could prove their innocence, "Tiantian, it's not a matter of money now, the most important thing is to clear our suspicions, do you want to be put in prison?" Or do you want to never leave here and be locked up until you grow old? ”
Speaking of this, Tian Tian hesitated, and Lin Lin also felt that it was not a matter of money at this time, so she persuaded: "Yes, Tian Tian, let's let Dark Chocolate release the contents of the memory stone and take a look, maybe you can find some clues?" ”
The Great Elder didn't expect that Dark Chocolate had prepared this thing, and asked, "Don't you think it will make people feel even more suspicious when you suddenly take this out?" After all, as Tian Tian said, who would want to spend a lot of money to record this inconsequential thing? ”
"No," Dark Chocolate explained, "Elder, maybe you don't know, what happened to the crazy brother last night made me think that the three of us were in a crisis, and I didn't know when this knife boy would attack us, so I took out the memory stone and used it, maybe you think it's probably a waste, but just in case, I think this is necessary." ”
"Yes," Lin Lin felt very reasonable when she heard this, "If the knife boy and they make a fool of us again, we really don't know where to find the evidence?" Like the crazy brother, even if we know that he is poisonous, we can't take the knife boy, it's really annoying. ”
