At midnight, a dark figure crept close to the edge of the sacred place in the woods, wearing a silver-gray cloak, wrapped in a cloak that was so hidden in the deep darkness of the night that he would not even notice his presence.

The black shadow walked briskly through the jungle, came to the gate of the holy place with a familiar way, pressed a slender hand with a silver glove on the arch sealed by vines and branches, and whispered in his mouth, the vines and branches immediately retreated to the sides, and the gate of the holy place opened.

The shadow carefully observed the inside of the arch, the path formed by the bush wall lay quietly in front of him, there was no shadow of any living thing, the shadow strode into the arch, and the vines and branches sealed the arch again behind him.

The black shadow vigilantly crossed the path to the grass by the goddess lake, and in front of him was a pool of clear water under the silent night, and there was not a single unicorn shadow on the grass along the lake, and all the unicorns were missing.

The black shadow stood on the shore of the lake and hesitated for a moment, then walked along the shore towards the abode of the moon god, observing his surroundings all the way, there was no one, no unicorns, not even a bird, and the silence in the holy place was eerily silent, as if everything was dead.

When the dark shadow came to the clearing in front of the dwelling, he was completely stunned by the scene of the scene, in front of the goddess's abode lay the corpses of hundreds of black elves, weapons and magic staff were scattered on the ground, but none of the swords were stained with blood.

Just as the shadow was hesitating, Rog's figure with a cigar in his mouth walked out of the goddess's quarters, dragging the back collar of a corpse in his hand, and strode down the stairs of the goddess's quarters, walking in the direction of the shadow.

The black shadow subconsciously took a step back and made a gesture of preparing to resist the attack, but Rog calmly walked to a distance of about ten steps from him and threw the corpse in his hand to the ground, the black shadow glanced at the corpse that fell to the ground, and saw the silver crown rolling off the corpse's head.

"You're here at the right time, I'm still worried about whether you'll come!" Rogge said in a low voice, looking at the silver-robed man.

"Did you leave a message to ask me to meet?" the silver-robed man looked at him in surprise, glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "I thought it was Blake!"

"Blake doesn't have that ability, if he can quietly avoid the guards of the Elven Palace, leave a letter in your dormitory and then sneak away, then he will send someone to assassinate the Elven King when the Black Elves are banished. Rogge shook his head slowly.

"Then what do you want to do when you ask me to come here?" asked the silver-robed man, looking at him suspiciously and warily.

"Let's talk about the assassination of the Elven King. Rog turned around and walked to the lake of the goddess and said, "All the clues of that case are now presented in front of us, as clear as the water of this lake, and only one person needs to connect them together." ”

The silver-robed man walked slowly to the lake, still keeping a distance of ten steps from Rogge, looking down at his own reflection in the lake, and heard him say: "First of all, let's sort out the four suspects, first of all, His Royal Highness the Elven Prince Lorian, of course, because it was his bow 'Moonlit Night Wind' that killed the Elf King. ”

Rogge gently exhaled a smoke ring, watched it float slowly towards the lake, and said, "But why did Lorian kill his own father? because the Elven King did not avenge him? This motive is too far-fetched, if he really wanted to do this, he could have done it many years ago, and there is no need for a soul to endure it for ten years." ”

"Maybe someone manipulated his soul?" the silver-robed man whispered.

"You're right, someone did manipulate him, but not a dark wizard, because William didn't plan the case at all. Rog shook his right hand holding the cigar and said, "The man who 'manipulated' it wanted to use it to divert everyone's attention, and that's what Lorian really used to do." ”

The silver-robed man silently lowered his head and said nothing, and Rogge continued: "The second suspect is the spider queen, and its suspicion can actually be ruled out a long time ago!"

"According to Antonio and Murphy's on-site investigation, the spider's footprints did not come close to the corpse, and if the spider had killed the elven king, it would not have let him hang there overnight. Rogge looked back at the other and said.

"And what's the matter with the spider silk?" asked the silver-robed man in a low voice.

"That's out of revenge for the other!" Rogge replied without hesitation: "In the hatchery room of the spider's nest, the runes on the walls have already shown that someone is raising spiders and using it as their own killer to eliminate dissidents for themselves, so that they can kill people invisibly. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the silver-robed man stared back at him in surprise and said sharply, "Do you mean that the Elf King raised the Spider Queen to be his killer, and the murderer took revenge on him by wrapping his neck around his neck with spider silk after killing him?"

"You're right!" a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Rogge's mouth, "The clues at the scene have proved this, the two arrows in the Elven King's chest are his fatal wounds, and the one in the back should be the first arrow in him." ”

This shows that when the murderer attacked, the elf king was facing the direction of the spider's lair, and the spider's footprints in the jungle showed that the spider queen had accepted his call and was approaching him, but the murderer suddenly launched an attack, causing the elf king to die. ”

"If, as you say, the spider queen was raised, then if someone killed its master, shouldn't the spider queen avenge him?" the silver-robed man asked aloud.

"That's right, but the person who killed the Elven King was a man with no less mana than him, which is why the murderer could enter the spider's lair alone and take the spider silk in the cave without fear of being attacked, because the spiders in the lair were in awe of his power. ”

Speaking of this, Rogge laughed again, he smiled and sighed: "But it's a pity that the murderer doesn't know much about the situation in the spider's nest, so he directly tore the spider silk on the wall with his hands, but he was accidentally bitten by the spider under the spider silk, and the squeezed poisonous blood dripped on the ground." ”

Hearing his words, the silver-robed man couldn't help but clench his silver-gloved hand, and asked after a moment of silence: "You said so much, but you didn't make it clear who was the murderer, what's the point?"

"Of course it makes sense!" Rogge flicked the cigar in his hand, flicked a wisp of cigarette ash down, and said meaningfully: "Because this is the motive for killing the Elf King, this revenge action!" And the person who carried out the revenge was one of the two daughters of the Elf King, and the purpose was to avenge the Lorian who was killed by the spider queen!"

"You're talking nonsense!" the silver-robed man turned his head like madness when he heard this, and shouted angrily at Rogge.

"I'm not talking nonsense," Rogge calmly turned his head to look at the other party, took a puff of his cigar and said unhurriedly, "In front of the tree where the Elf King was hung by spider silk, there are two deep circular pits in the ground, and they are the best evidence!"

"What?" the silver-robed man stared at him in astonishment, hearing him say, "Antonio has tested it himself, and the two small pits are consistent with the marks left on his knees, so it can be inferred that the murderer once knelt down in front of his corpse after killing the Elven King and hanging him." ”

"Catherine told me that during the investigation of the scene, Sophia said that if the murderer was the son or daughter of the deceased, everything was very reasonable, and I believe that what she said was not false!"

"Don't you know that the elves' bodies are very light, and they don't leave footprints when they walk on the grass, how can they leave such traces?" the silver-robed man sneered and shook his head and asked rhetorically.

"If the murderer had been kneeling in front of the body for a long time, the situation would have been completely different. ”

Rogge smiled calmly: "The soil in the forest is very soft, even if the body is as light as an elf, when you kneel on your knees and bow your head in prayer, the center of gravity must be pressed forward on the knees, and kneeling on the ground for a long time will inevitably cause the ground to sink, which is completely different from walking like a dragonfly." ”

After hearing this, the silver-robed man lowered his head and was silent, Rogge glanced back at the other party, and whispered to himself: "According to the current situation, it is obvious that His Highness Sophia is more suspicious. ”

"The little princess is proficient in archery, she is eager to take revenge for His Royal Highness Llorian, and she is sure that His Royal Highness Llorian killed the Elf King, which also meets the characteristics of using His Royal Highness Lorian as a shield, and she has just inherited the throne when the Elf King's bones are still cold......"

"No, it has nothing to do with Sophia!" the silver-robed man yelled at him.

"If that's the case," Rogge said confidently, turning to stare at the other party, "then, the murderer is you, Your Highness Eva!"

Hearing Rogge's words, the silver-robed man bowed his head and was silent for a moment, then reached out and uncovered the hood of the silver cloak, revealing the solemn face of the elven eldest princess Eva.

She looked at Rogge with blue eyes as calm as water, and said calmly: "Mr. Rogge, your reasoning is indeed very interesting, but based on these alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to prove that I am the murderer." ”

Rogge smiled and took a puff on his cigar, glanced at Eva's silver-gloved hand and asked, "Your Highness, is the wound on your hand healed?" I have asked your attendants, you never wear gloves, and your jade hand was amazing when we first met. ”

"Thank you for the compliment," Eva said with a calm smile, "I did have a slight injury to my hand, and I wore gloves to protect it, but so what? Can you prove that the wound was bitten by a spider in the rear nest?"

"I don't have to prove it, there are many other evidences, such as that you deliberately hid the rune that Antonio and they desperately brought back, and did not give it to the Great Elder, this is what the Great Elder personally told me, and it is also the reason why I am suspicious of you. ”

Eva suddenly changed color when she heard this, but Rogge continued unhurriedly: "And you and the Great Elder have been talking all night about the heir to the throne, I eavesdropped on the whole process that night, you, as the first heir to the throne, insisted on giving the throne to Her Highness Sophia, and we all know that she can't take on this heavy responsibility now. ”

He looked at Eva with a solemn expression and said: "Your behavior is abnormal, related to the previous judgment of the murderer's father's confession, your behavior should be out of inner repentance, so you gave up the throne to your sister, and at the same time, it has another meaning......"

After Rogge finished meaningfully, he took out a parchment notebook from his body, showed it to Eva and said, "Only by giving way to Sophia can you avoid being coerced by the dark elves and secretly seek an opportunity to recover this stolen notebook that records the secret story of the elven royal family......"

Seeing the notes in Rogge's hand, Eva's face instantly turned pale as paper, and a trace of fear crept up on her face.
