"What is the Grand Patriarch looking for me?" Hearing the words of the crocodile soldier, Catherine asked him suspiciously, but the soldier said that he did not know, and only came to invite Catherine on the orders of the Grand Patriarch.

"Alright then, please lead the way. Catherine groaned slightly, thinking that it would not be a bad thing, so she let the soldier lead the way, and she and Monica followed the soldier to the mud hut where the patriarch lived.

The soldier told Catherine to wait at the door, and went into the mud hut himself, and after a while he came out and said to Catherine, "The great patriarch seems to have gone out, please come into the house and wait for a while, and I will look for him." ”

Catherine didn't think much of it, and stepped into the house, where the soldier then exited, leaving her alone to walk around the house, which was much larger than the ordinary mud hut she lived in, and had a bedroom in addition to a living room outside.

"Monica, what do you say the Great Patriarch is looking for me alone?" Catherine asked the little flower spirit beside her as she wandered around the parlor in a bored circle.

"I don't know, maybe I want to apologize for what happened last night?" Monica guessed.

"Would he really do that?" said Catherine, shaking her head a little skeptically.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of a soo in the bedroom, and Catherine and Monica immediately shut their mouths, looked at each other in disbelief, and stared at the rattling bedroom door curtain together.

"Could it be that there is someone inside? Could it be that the Great Patriarch is still sleeping, and the soldier is mistaken?" Catherine whispered in surprise.

"No, could it be that the servants are cleaning?" Xiao Hualing looked in the direction of the bedroom suspiciously, and said to Catherine: "Shout inside, ask, see who it is!"

Catherine thought it was a solution, so she walked to the bedroom door, cleared her throat and asked softly, "Is there anyone inside?"

The bedroom was silent, no one responded, Catherine looked back at Monica suspiciously, Little Flower Spirit also looked at her with a confused face, Catherine muttered for a moment and spoke again, but there was still no one in there to answer.

Just when Catherine was uncertain, suddenly, a low whistling sound came from inside the door curtain, which made her nervous, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the ghost fire gun on her waist, and at the same time took a step back, ready to resist the attack.

But there was no sound from inside the door, and Catherine listened for a long time with the ghost fire hammer she had pulled out, and when she saw that the room was silent, she couldn't help but look at Monica with suspicion, and glanced at her, and she stepped forward cautiously, and reached out to pull the curtain of the bedroom door.

She held her breath and opened the curtain as she raised her hand to look into the room, but it was empty, and Catherine stepped into the room, and before she could see what was going on, something suddenly jumped down from the wall and pounced on her.

Catherine screamed, struggled to break free of the thing, threw it to the ground, raised the ghost fire in her hand and fired three shots at it, only to see a half-meter-long lizard jump and hide behind the bed.

Frightened, Catherine stepped back to the bedroom door, panting and looking at the bedroom, suddenly, she noticed a tail peeking out of the back of the bed, Catherine at first thought it was a lizard's tail, but soon she realized that the lizard's tail was not that thick.

She stepped forward cautiously, turned the foot of the bed sharply, and aimed her gun at the place where the tail was, and the sight that caught her eyes immediately frightened her into a fright, and she retreated back to the wall with a scream.

On the ground behind the bed, Sam, the youngest son of the Crocodile Patriarch, lay quietly on the ground, with a blood hole in his chest, and blood was spilled on the ground.

"No, how can this be?" Catherine looked at the corpse of the little crocodile in surprise, and stood in place at a loss, when at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and Catherine turned around helplessly, just in time to see the great patriarch Gustav open the curtain and run in.

"Miss Catherine, why are you here? I heard a strange noise, what happened?" asked Gustav, his eyes widened in surprise, glancing at the ghostly fire in Catherine's hand, and frowning.

"I ...... I ......" Catherine's mind was blank at this time, and she could not speak, and Gustav, seeing that her face was abnormal, and his doubts rose sharply, and he strode up to her, and looked in the direction where her ghost fire was pointing, and saw the body of his son lying in a pool of blood.

"What have you done?" Gustav cried out in surprise, and turned his head to look at Catherine, the girl trembled and became almost mute, and the little flower spirit on the side saw that the situation was not good, and quietly flew out of the house behind her, and ran to report to Murphy.

When Murphy and Lisa followed Monica to the Grand Patriarch's room, Catherine had been tied up by two crocodile soldiers, the Grand Patriarch was standing by his son's corpse and weeping, his wife Nala was standing by and weeping silently, and the Thousand Commander Sarif stood behind his sister Nala with an angry face and glared at Murphy fiercely.

"What's going on?" asked Murphy, walking up in surprise.

"You ask her!" said Sarif angrily, pointing at Catherine, "Ask how bold she was to run into the Grand Patriarch's bedroom and kill his son!"

"I didn't, I didn't kill him!" Catherine exclaimed, looking up at the words, her eyes wide with fear.

"The Great Patriarch heard the gunshots before he entered the house, and saw you in his room with a gun in your hand, and you dare to quibble!" Sharif snarled.

"That's enough!" Gustav jerked his head up and yelled, and Sarif quickly lowered his head and remained silent.

I saw Gustav stand up, sit down on the stone chair with a sad face, beckoned to Murphy, and said, "Friend Murphy, please take a seat, what is going on in this matter, I hope Miss Catherine can explain it clearly in front of you and me from beginning to end." ”

Murphy, who had calmed down from his surprise, nodded approvingly, turned around and squatted down in front of Catherine, stroked her shoulders and whispered, "Don't be afraid, tell me everything about the process, and it will be fine." ”

Catherine nodded tremblingly, and began to tell the whole story, and those present listened silently, and the room could hear a still pin falling except for her trembling voice.

"That's the whole thing, I'm telling the truth, I didn't kill Sam!" Catherine looked at the people present with a wistful gaze, but she didn't see much trust in their eyes, especially the crocodiles, who were full of suspicion and hostility.

"Miss Catherine, I can't believe what you're saying, I never sent a soldier to invite you to me, no soldier ever came to me, can you tell me who the soldier who called you is ?" Gustav asked, looking at Catherine with distrust.

Catherine shook her head helplessly, she didn't know what the soldier's name was, and she couldn't describe his appearance, because it seemed to her that the crocodiles all looked the same, and there was no obvious difference.

"I can prove to Catherine that there really was a soldier who brought us here!" Monica said loudly as she flew over to Catherine.

"The proof of one's own people is meaningless. Gustav snorted coldly, picked up a metal bead from the stone table beside him, and asked the soldier next to him to hand it to Murphy and said, "Brother, this was found in Sam's wound, we have seen this kind of thing before, and we know that it is a projectile used to fire in a fire hammer made by dwarves. ”

"Great Patriarch, are you saying that this is the cause of Sam's death?" Murphy looked down at the blood-stained projectile in his hand, and suddenly looked up and said, "If this is the case, then the murderer cannot be Catherine, because the bullets on her body have already run out!"

"Doesn't she still have a firebolt to use?" Gustav said, grabbing the Ghostfire Bolt from the table next to him, "and when I saw her, she was pointing at Sam's corpse with it!"

"Great Patriarch, the Ghost Fire Gun is different from ordinary Fire Guns, it doesn't use ordinary metal projectiles!" Murphy argued as if grasping a life-saving straw: "This Ghost Captain's Ghost Fire Gun is an undead magic weapon, and the wounds it causes will not leave any projectiles!"

Gustav looked at him suspiciously, looked back at the ghost fire gun in his hand and pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if what you said is true, I don't know much about such things as fire guns, but what I do know is that Miss Catherine is not the only one on her body, these two silver fire guns should be able to fire projectiles, right?"

He put down the ghost fire gun, grabbed a silver gun on the side and shook it at Murphy, Murphy hurriedly defended Catherine: "However, the silver bullet on her body has been used up a long time ago, and this bullet is not silver-plated, Catherine has never used this ordinary iron projectile, there must be something wrong with this!"

"You're saying someone is setting up a blame?" asked Gustav as he stared at Murphy with a frown.

"I believe it must be!" replied Murphy without hesitation.

"This is just your speculation, friend Murphy, and I can't believe you unless you produce conclusive evidence of who is the murderer of my son. ”

Gustav glanced at Catherine with murderous eyes and said, "If you can't prove that Miss Catherine is not a murderer, I can only say sorry to you!"

"How do you ......prove that Catherine is not a murderer," Murphy asked himself anxiously, and he glanced back at Catherine, who was being escorted by two crocodile soldiers, and the panicked and aggrieved expression on her face broke his heart.

At this time, Gustav turned to the two soldiers and said, "Come, take Miss Catherine to the cell, and we can only grieve her until I am sure that she is not the murderer!"

The two soldiers were about to leave with Catherine in her arms, when Murphy suddenly stepped forward and reached out to stop them, turned back and said loudly to Gustavus: "Great Patriarch, I beg you to give me a few days, and at the same time send your soldiers to help me find someone, if you can find him, you will know who is the murderer of your son!"

"For the sake of our past friendships, I can give you a few days," Gustav asked, looking at the eager expression on Murphy's face, suspiciously, "but who is the man you want me to find, and how can he know who is the murderer of my son?"
