Chapter 204: Scolding

"Oh, little girl, I see that you talk about these things in a fanciful way, but I feel that the carriage is more restrictive, a little more reassuring, besides, although that thing is so safe as you say, but you are the only one who has a heart, besides,

Your acute physique is okay, but my acute physique, I don't feel like it's okay at all, so forget it, right? "This computer version is in a hurry, and I won't discuss it with Tian Tian directly.

Near noon, the terrible news stunned the whole village. There was no need for a telegraph (people could not even have dreamed of this at the time), and the news spread at the speed of a telegraph, and became a household name and known to everyone. Therefore, the principal decided to take a half-day vacation that afternoon, otherwise he would have to be looked down upon by the townspeople.

According to rumors, people found a bloody knife near the dead man, who was identified as. Potter's. In addition, a man who was on a journey at night happened to see Potter rinsing himself in the creek at about one or two o'clock in the morning, and when he saw someone coming, he slipped away at once. This is indeed suspicious, especially since the rinse is not at all in Potter's habits. Also, they said that the townspeople had started searching for the "murderer", but they didn't find it. The men on horseback pursued him in all directions, and the town's magistrate was "convinced" that he would be caught before dark. The whole town flocked to the graveyard in droves, and Tom suddenly stopped being sad and followed behind. In fact, he would have liked to go somewhere else, but he was drawn here by a terrible, unspeakable magic. Arriving at this terrible place, his diminutive body arched through the crowd and squeezed into the front court, where he saw the tragic scene. He felt like many years had passed since the first night he had been here. Someone twisted his arm around at this moment, and he turned around to find that it was Huckleberry. As soon as they looked at each other, they immediately turned to other places, for fear that others would see something flawed in them. But everyone was talking, and they were all focused on the tragic situation in front of them.

"Poor man!" O unfortunate young man!" This should be a lesson for grave robbers!" . Potter will be hanged if he stops fast!" From time to time, such words were heard from the crowd. But the pastor said, "This is the punishment he deserves."

At this time, Tom's eyes! The light fell on the Indians. Joe's face found that he was indifferent to pretending to be soup at this time, and the cold collar began to stir yesterday, and someone shouted: "It's enough for him!" That's him! He's here himself!!"

Who is it? Who is it?" One or twenty asked.

"It's Potter!

"Ahh Notice, he turned around! Don't let him run away!" He wasn't trying to run, just a little hesitant and flustered. Tom picked up his head and saw that it was lying on his stomach

Player

The people in the trees are talking.

"Damn it!" A bystander said, "It's shameful to do something bad and want to sneak a sneak peek at the excitement." I didn't expect so many people to come. ’

The crowd dodged out of the way. The magistrate grabbed Potter's arm and walked over as ostentatious. The poor fellow's face was haggard, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. When he arrived in front of the dead man's needle, he seemed to have had a stroke, covered his face with his hands, and suddenly began to cry.

"I didn't do it, folks," he said, sobbing, "I swear I never had the opportunity to kill." ”

decide

"Who accused you of murder?" Someone shouted.

Breasts

The shout gave Potter a turnaround. He looked up and looked around in despair and pity. He saw the Indians. Empress Qiao exclaimed:

"Oh, Indian. Joe, you promisedβ€”" Before he had finished speaking, the magistrate threw his knife before him and said:

"Is it your knife?"

Go down. Hearing this, if Potter hadn't been helped slowly to the ground by people, he would have almost gotten to the ground, "Somehow, I can't help but come and get it.... He shuddered, and then looked like a bead of anger. He waved his hand weakly and said:

"The road is wide open. I'm them. It was useless to hide it anyway, so Huckleberry and Tom stood there dumbfounded, listening to the hard-hearted man

The guy gushed out a lie to everyone. They hope that God will have eyes and immediately kill this liar with a thunderbolt. But on the contrary, the liar was alive and well. They had planned to put aside their oath and save the poor man who had been framed, but they were even more hesitant when they saw this. Coupled with the fact that the villain is determined to sell himself to the devil Satan, it is obvious that fighting with them is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm, and he is not able to do his best.

"Why don't you go far and fly high, what are you doing here?" Someone asked. "If only it could be like that." Potter groaned, "I escaped, but somehow I managed to get there, and there was nowhere else to go but to come here." After saying that, he snorted again.

A few minutes later, at the autopsy, Indian Joe swore and then unhurriedly repeated the lie. There was no thunder and lightning in the sky, and the two children were even more convinced that Joe had indeed sold himself to the devil. Although this guy was a mourning god, the two children found it very interesting and curious, and they stared at him intently.

They secretly decided that if they had the opportunity to watch him at night, they would see if they could see the true face of his devilish master. Indian Joe also helped carry the body onto the wagon. The frightened crowd muttered that the dead man's wound was bleeding. The two children thought that this gratifying phenomenon would help people to make the right judgment and find out the real murderer. But they were immediately deflated again, for more than one villager said:

Don "At that time, Moff. Potter was less than three feet away from the dead. Tom was afraid to tell the terrible truth, and his conscience was tormented, so he was disturbed for a week afterwards. One day, at breakfast, Sid said:

"Tom, you toss and turn, and you talk in your sleep, and I only sleep half the night because of you." Tom's face turned pale and his eyelids drooped.

Is it?" That doesn't bode well," said Aunt Polly, grimacingly, "Tom. What's on your mind" No, I don't know anything. But he shook the coffee out of his hand. "You did say it last night," said Sid, "you said: "It's blood, it's blood, it's blood!" You're a few more non-stop. And you said, 'Don't torture me like this anymore, I'll just say it!' say

What comes out? What's going on?

”

Tom only felt a flash of dizziness in front of him, and the consequences were difficult to predict. Luckily, Polly Yao's attention shifted, and she inadvertently freed Tom.

"Yes, it's nothing, isn't it that horrible murder. I often dream about that murder at night. Sometimes I dream that I did it myself. ”

Mary said the same thing about the murder. Now Sid stopped asking questions. Tom's rhetoric pleased Sid, and he slipped. For the next week, he said he had a toothache and tied his mouth every night when he went to bed. But Sid kept an eye on him at night, often untying the strap of his mouth, and then leaning sideways to listen for a long time

at

Son, tie the strap again. Tom was kept in the dark about all this, and gradually Tom's mood calmed down a lot, and he felt bored with pretending to have a toothache, so he returned to normal. Even if Sid had figured out what Tom had said in the night, he would have known it.

want

Tom thinks that the students play the game of autopsy on the cat, and it is always endless, this time

not

It reminded him of the post-mortem scene that day, and he felt very unpleasant. Sid discovers that Tom used to like to take the lead in everything new, but now in the autopsy game, he no longer pretends to be the coroner: and it's strange that Tom doesn't want to play Witness 1. Sid also vividly remembers Tom visibly showing disgust while playing the autopsy game, and always tried to avoid such games if possible. Sid felt strange, but the last did not reveal anything. Tom β†’ feeling very sad, and after two husbands, he delivered the small condolences he could get his hands on to the "murderer", and took an opportunity to pass it through the small fence window. The cell was small, a brick hut located in Marshland E on the edge of the village, unguarded, in fact, it was often empty. Tom felt that this was a great source of spiritual comfort. Xinxun training is good

The whole village demanded that the thief be driven away: Joe, who was tarred, put on his feathers, and be carried away on a pole. But since this guy is not easy to deal with, there is no one who wants to take the lead, and the matter falls apart. Indians. During the autopsy, Joe testified twice that he only talked about the fight, and did not admit to the tomb robbery, so people felt that it was best not to go to court at this time.

Lin Muchen didn't dare to come out with this Tom, thinking that if these people really did what happened to them, then wouldn't they really be treated badly, so it was better not to make a sound.

"Alas, you two, what are you doing there, two sneaky people, come over to me!" The crowd was bustling, and after hearing the man's scolding, they all looked at the two of them.

"Don't, don't, we haven't done anything, we're still children, how could we do something like that, you must figure it out well, you can't wronged good people, we are great good citizens, we have never done anything hurtful, besides, such a big thing happened today, do you believe that just a few of us children will do this earth-shattering, earth-shaking thing?"

Tom's whole body trembled when he heard the man's scolding, and he couldn't understand why this person only talked about their children, was it really that their children were too sneaky, or was their appearance so eye-catching?
