Chapter 5: Homicide

The elf girl often carried a basket out of the city, collected some mushrooms or fruits in the forest outside the city, and then went to Changwei's place for a while.

Wen Lesa is innocent and cute, her ruddy face also brings a little baby fat, and her long ears occasionally move, which is particularly dexterous.

"Eldest sister, let's go find Uncle tomorrow!"

Wen Lesa clasped her hands on her waist card, her eyes flashing with gold: "I haven't been there for two days." ”

Aurelia pinched Wen Leisa's little nose dotingly: "You know how to play." Uncle also has his own things to do. ”

"Nope." Wen Lesa said: "Every time I go, my uncle is at home. ”

The sisters were talking when there was a faint noise outside. It's abrupt. Elves mostly like to be quiet, so Silvermoon City is quiet most of the time.

Such a noise seems abrupt.

Aurelia was puzzled for a moment, and Winresa had already pulled her out the door.

I saw the sheriff walking past the door with a man.

Aurelia hurriedly called out to the sheriff and asked, "What happened?" ”

When the sheriff saw that it was Aurelia, he paused, shook his head, his face was not quite right, pointed to another household not far from Aurelia's house, and said, "Murder." ”

"Homicide?!"

Aurelia was stunned: "Silvermoon City?!" ”

It was a digest, and Aurelia had only one thought at this point. Will there be a homicide in Silvermoon City? It's almost impossible!

It's not that elves can't kill. It's the atmosphere of Silvermoon City, which has always been very good. There are not a few ordinary cases a year, let alone murders.

Aurelia has never heard of it since she was a child, for so many years.

"Unless a foreign enemy invades!"

This is the second thought.

"I'll go with you to see it." Aurelia's heart turned, and she turned to Wen Lesa and said, "Little sister, eldest sister is hungry, are you cooking well?" ”

Wen Lesa looked at the sheriff, then at the eldest sister, oh, and nodded back.

Aurelia didn't want her little sister to see the mess.

Hurriedly arrived at the scene of the crime, at this time some residents were alarmed, and watched in front of the house. The people who eat melons are not only of any nationality or race, as long as they are intelligent beings, they cannot avoid it, even the elves.

The sheriff retired from the melon-eating crowd and walked into the room with Aurelia.

"Who reported the crime?"

Aurelia sniffed, and before she could walk in, she already smelled a faint smell of blood.

She asked, frowning.

The sheriff said, "It's the neighbor of the Olsen family." He gestured to a pale, still frightened elf following behind him.

Aurelia asked the informant, "How did you find out?" ”

"Every day, I would call Olsen and go to the library to read a book." The informant swallowed his saliva and said, "But today, I came to call him, and there was no response." So I came in, and... And then..."

There's no need to go on.

Turning the courtyard and looking up, Aurelia saw a terrifying scene.

Not far away, on the stairs of the room, a broken figure lay in a pool of congealed blood, and its head did not know where to go.

At the edge of the flower bed under the stairs, even more terrifying was an elven woman with her chest and abdomen hollowed out. She leaned against the flower bed, her eyes wide open.

Aurelia endured the discomfort in her heart, and as she approached, she could see the horror remaining in the dark pupils of the elven female of death and the pain on her distorted face.

The sheriff was already retching on the side.

Such a scene, even if Aurelia has experienced many battles with trolls, it is still difficult to suppress the horror in her heart.

This is a terrible thing!

Even trolls, if they die at the hands of elves, elves don't treat trolls' corpses like this.

A nameless rage spawned in horror, and Aurelia gritted her silver teeth, her white fists exposed.

Subsequently, the sheriff reluctantly cleaned up the scene of the crime and brought the informant back with him. Aurelia went homeβ€”the security of the city was not her concern.

But she couldn't leave it alone.

At this time, Aurelia had a fragrant meal, but she couldn't eat anything. The horror of the murder scene always comes to mind.

It made her fidget.

After thinking about it, he put down the dishes. Aurelia said to Winlessa, "Stay at home and don't go anywhere, okay?" ”

Wen Lesa nodded: "Big sister, where are you going?" Skipping a meal? ”

Aurelia exhaled, "I'll go to His Majesty." ”

There must be an explanation for this - this is Silvermoon City!

Aurelia hurried away. Wen Lesa didn't eat well. She didn't eat at all, moved a small chair, and Wen Lesa sat in the courtyard, and she had to wait for the eldest sister to come back.

It was getting dark, and Aurelia never returned. Winlessa dozed off with her face propped up, staring blankly at the door.

At this time, the waist card that Wen Lesa hung on her waist faintly flashed with a glowing brilliance.

Behind Wen Lessa, in the dim door, a dark shadow suddenly flashed.

The invisible qi machine invaded, and gray ripples rippled in the air, but it was blocked by the fluorescence emitted by the waist tag on Wen Leisa's waist, and she couldn't get close.

A black shadow the size of a kitten leaned against the door, a pair of dim eyes staring at Winlessa's back without blinking, ready to move and hesitant.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Aurelia's voice rang, "Winlessa." ”

Wen Lesa woke up and stood up. The shadow at the door behind him vanished for a moment.

Aurelia went to meet King Anastarian, and as one of the leaders of the Ranger troops, Aurelia had such power.

But she didn't see Anastarian, saying that there was something wrong and that she was not available.

Aurelia waited for a long time in the palace, but she couldn't help it, so she went to the elders of the council again. But the council's elders were perfunctory, telling her that they would send a mage to deal with the matter and tell her not to make a fuss.

Fuss?

This kind of heinous murder, is it all the fuss?

Aurelia was so disappointed that she couldn't understand what the King and the Parliament's Lords were thinking!

Aurelia believes that this kind of horrific murder will definitely not be an internal contradiction among elves. The only possibility is a foreign enemy.

So after getting no response from the king and the council, Aurelia went directly to the headquarters of the ranger force, summoned the rangers in the city, and arranged a night patrol.

It was the only thing she could do.

After all this, Aurelia went home. When I pushed the door, I saw Wen Lesa who was dozing off in a small chair, and she was very distressed for a while.

She didn't notice that the moment she entered the house, the waist tag on her waist also flashed.

Let Winlessa go to sleep on her own, Aurelia herself will definitely not be free tonight. Wen Lesa was disappointed, she wanted to talk to her eldest sister, even for a night, but now she can't.
