Chapter 720: The murderer who stoned himself to death

Brad's words made Rogge stop, and he smiled pretending to be happy, and said to the little owl above his head, "Hey, little villain, it's good that we have an alibi, otherwise this blood debt would have been credited to us again." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Bad wolf, do you mean we should all be witnesses with stupid girls in the future?" asked the little furball, poking his little head down from his black wide-brimmed hat, and winking his eyes.

"I mean, we can just get our hands dirty. Before Rogge's words fell, the person had flashed in front of Brad, who subconsciously shook his fist to resist, but he was hit in the abdomen early, holding his stomach and curling up on the ground.

Rog asked Carl and Louis to come forward and grab him, and then turned to Christina, whose face was full of tears, and said, "Christina, Clark will not die in vain, those who hurt him will definitely pay the price, and now we should bury him first, and when he is buried in the ground, we will sacrifice him with the blood of the enemy." ”

Christina sobbed and looked down at her brother's body, nodding slightly in agreement, and Rog asked the little furball to fly to the Golden Gate to bring Catherine, Shirley, and Elizabeth here, and let them stay here with Christina while guarding Brad, who was tied up with ropes.

He himself carried Clark's body out of the valley with Carl, Louie, and Alfred in order to find a suitable place to excavate and bury his body.

Outside the mouth of the valley, they stopped behind a boulder in the corner, where the ground was softer and the boulder was more secluded, where Clark would be buried to avoid his tomb from being infested by the undead or demons of the Cursed Lands.

Rogge took the shovel from the blacksmith Karl, and the two of them dug the tomb with their hands and feet, and when they were halfway through the digging, Rogge straightened up and wiped the sweat from his face, looked around, and suddenly found that Louie and Alfred were gone.

"Did you see Louie and Alfred?" Rogge asked Carl back, and the blacksmith looked up at the surroundings with a blank face, scratched his head in surprise, and said, "Weren't they still nearby?"

"Maybe, it's better for them to go back, but I'm not at ease with the girls. Rogge lit a cigar and put it in the corner of his mouth, glanced in Taniguchi's direction, and nodded nonchalantly.

The two quickly dug up the tomb and placed Clark's body in the tomb, at which point Alfred came over, stood behind Rogge and looked at Clark's body in the tomb and said, "Did you see Louie?"

Rogge and Carl looked up at him in unison and said, "No, aren't you with him?"

Alfred spread his hands and said with a look of surprise: "Just now I saw that he gradually fell behind the group, and then suddenly turned a corner and went up the path leading to the cliff, I thought it was quite suspicious, so I quietly followed, but I lost it halfway through." ”

"Could it be that Louie is the real murderer?" Karl frowned and looked at Rogge, who lowered his head and pondered for a moment with a cigar in his mouth and said: "Don't worry, even if he is really a murderer, I don't think he will run away like this, after all, he didn't take a piece of gold with him, and he won't be willing to run away like this." ”

He and Carl filled the tomb with earth, and when the tomb was completely filled, the three returned to the valley with their tools to meet Catherine and them, and in the distance Rog saw several girls sitting next to Christina, and Brad was tied to the side and could not move.

"Hey, do you see Louie?" Alfred shouted at the girls from afar, and the long echo echoed through the valley, and Catherine, hearing his shout, turned around, stood up and shouted at them, "No, is something wrong?"

"He's gone, hasn't he ever come back?" Alfred asked loudly again, Catherine hadn't answered, suddenly heard a loud noise, a boulder rolled down from the cliff and rushed towards Rogge and the others, Rogge hurriedly escorted Carl and Alfred to retreat, the boulder smashed on the hard ground, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

"What's going on?" Rogge, Carl, and Alfred hurriedly and cautiously approached the place where the boulder fell, and when their eyes pierced through the dust and looked at the rubble-strewn ground, they couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see Louis lying upright on the ground, his head had been smashed, and the man had already died.

"How so?" Karl looked at Louis's corpse in surprise, looked up at the cliff where the boulder had fallen, and said, "Could this guy be trying to push a stone down from above and kill us?"

"Is he going to kill us all and take the gold to himself?" said Alfred, his voice trembling behind Carl's back, grabbing his arm timidly.

At this time, Catherine and the other girls ran over, and Rogge asked Carl and Alfred to retreat to the girls, and beckoned to Catherine, and the girls came to him and waited for his instructions, only to hear Rogge point to Louie's body and say to her, "You come and help me examine his body, and I will go up there to see it." ”

He whistled, and the little furball suddenly flew out of nowhere and landed on his hat, and Rogge made her shrink herself and fly with her up the cliff where the boulder had fallen.

The ground above the cliff was very hard and left no visible footprints, and Rogge turned around the cliff and found a path that led to the bottom of the mountain, leading to the mouth of the valley.

He returned to the cliff and walked towards the edge of the cliff where the boulder had fallen, when suddenly he stopped halfway through, sniffed the air, then turned and walked to a nearby clearing and stopped, took the cigar from the corner of his mouth and brought it to the downwind port, then crouched down and sniffed lightly.

"Do you smell it, little villain?" said Rog softly to the little furball on his hat.

"I smell it, but it doesn't smell like last time. The little furball sniffed the air and said.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Rogge stood up and turned to the edge of the cliff, where he found a place that was clearly different from the rest of the land, the color of the ground contrasted with the other lands around it, and there were no obvious signs of weathering, and it could be seen that the falling boulder was standing here in the first place.

Rog crouched down in front of the boulder's footprint, staring down at its silhouette in deep thought, when suddenly he called Lilith to him, whispered something to her, and the little furball flapped its little wings and flew away.

Rogge also stood up and turned to go down the mountain, and when he returned to Catherine, Catherine had finished examining Louie's body, and Rogge crouched down next to the corpse and looked at the corpse and asked, "How is it, what have you found?"

"There are multiple wounds on the body," Catherine said, pointing to Rogge one by one, "but they were all abrasions and crush wounds, no scars from the struggle, and the fatal injuries were crushed in the head, the skull was shattered, and the spine was broken in multiple segments, and the items on the body were not lost." ”

"So, what do you think about this?" asked Rogge, getting up and walking over to Louie's corpse's feet, looking down at his feet.

"It looks like I'm trying to push a boulder, and I accidentally fall on my own. Catherine said as she glanced up at the cliff and asked tentatively, "Did you find any clues on the cliff?"

"Traces of where the stone once stayed, but nothing particularly useful. Rogge continued to check Louie's abrasions as he spoke, when the little furball suddenly landed on his shoulder, stretched out his little head and muttered something into his ear.

"Well done, little villain. Rogge smiled approvingly after hearing this, got up and came to Christina's side and said: "It seems that our previous judgment was a little wrong, but Louis can be regarded as self-inflicted death, harming others is not harming himself, people say that the land of the cursed is the land of the undead, maybe your brother has secretly avenged himself." ”

Christina nodded silently, and Rogge immediately said to the crowd: "Come on, leave the corpse alone, the first thing we have to do is apologize to Mr. Brad, it is obvious that our error of judgment has wronged him, and we must quickly rehabilitate him." ”

He led the group to Brad, untied the rope that bound him, and told him the result, Brad glared at him resentfully, and angrily stood up, asking for his weapon to leave with the gold, but Rog suddenly stopped him in front of him.

"What else do you want?" Brad asked, glaring at Rogge in annoyance.

"I just want to give you a piece of advice, this place is full of demons and undead, you can't return to human territory alone, I will let the god of lights send you back to human territory before dawn, what do you think?" Rogge asked with a smile and looked into his hateful eyes.

Brad stared at him silently, and Rogge spread his hands when he saw this, and said, "Don't do this, even if I punched you just now, I have already apologized to you, if you still don't think it's enough, you can also punch me, how about it?"

Brad stared at the calm smile on his face for a moment, then suddenly dropped the package full of gold in his hand and slammed his fist into Rog's chest, Rogge took a step back, grinned and touched his chest with his hand, "Ah, man, you are really human, and you don't spare any effort. ”

Brad gave him a blank look, turned and walked to the corner and sat down, Rog and the rest of him sat around the campfire, Monica summoned some fruit for everyone to make supper, everyone talked about what happened tonight while eating, and as the night got darker, everyone who felt sleepy gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, a heart-rending scream broke the silence of the night again, and Christina, who was awakened by the scream, tried to get up, but felt that her head was dizzy, and she had no strength at all, she struggled to support her body, and her hazy eyes vaguely saw a dark shadow fighting with another person not far away.

Christina, who suddenly came to her senses from surprise, struggled to get up from the ground, rushed forward and threw the black shadow to the ground, holding him down while shouting for Rogge, but suddenly saw a light shining down from the top of her head on the black shadow's face, and Rogge's smile was reflected in her surprised eyes.
