Chapter 990: Do You Still Have the Face to Speak?
Obviously Elder Shi was asked to take care of it inside, but who set the fire?
Xia Bo made up his mind that no matter who set the fire, it was important to save people now.
"It's on fire, everyone, come and put out the fire!" At this time, Elder Shi ran out in embarrassment with his head in his arms, and there were still many burns on his body.
"Why did you run out?" Xia Bo's face changed, and he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Why don't you put out the fire?"
"The fire is so big, and I don't have water, how can you let me put out the fire?" said Elder Shi unconvinced.
Xia Bo knew that what Elder Shi said was not wrong, most of the people here were still refining pills, and if they didn't inform them, they wouldn't come over at all.
If only there could be a heavy rain now, at least the body of the head of the house would be prevented from being burned.
In this case, you can investigate how the head of the house died.
Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderclap.
Now it's raining suddenly, Xia Bo can't react a little, but anyway, it's always a good thing to rain now, it's better to rain a little more, in this case, the corpse of the head of the house shouldn't hurt too much, and some clues can be found.
"It was raining, which was great. Elder Shi said with a bright smile on his face: "Xia Bo, you are really a lucky star, you let it rain all day, and it will rain all day." ”
"When I left just now, it was obviously fine, how could it suddenly catch fire?" Xia Bo asked with a frown.
"I accidentally knocked over the lamp, and that started the fire. Elder Shi said with some embarrassment.
"It's just that the candle lit the fire, how big can it be, can't you extinguish the fire?" Xia Bo was almost angry to death, this guy is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!
"I was asleep, and when I woke up, I realized that the fire was so big that it couldn't be extinguished. Elder Shi said very innocently, "If I hadn't escaped in time, I might have been burned inside." ”
"You didn't say a word to me when you went out, I thought you were inside, you can't blame me for this, you also know that I'm more sleepy, and you let me watch there alone. Seeing that Xia Bo didn't speak, Elder Shi thought that Xia Bo was asleep, so he said unhappily: "Fortunately, I woke up early, otherwise I would definitely be unlucky." ”
"What, or is it my fault?" said Shabo with a sour glare.
"I didn't mean that, it's already in the past anyway, so let's not mention it again. Elder Shi looked around, as if he was worried that someone would find out, so he hurriedly said, "If you can leave here, leave here quickly, you won't be able to leave after a while." ”
"You're right, if the people of Taiyimen find out that their leader's body is charred, they will definitely not let us go. Xia Bo thought this was a very good solution, so he immediately said: "You get out of here quickly, I'm here to help you block." ”
"The two of us came together, you are still my good friend, I will take you with me anyway, how can I go alone?" At this time, Elder Shi became angry: "I can't let you face everyone in Taiyi Gate alone, otherwise it will be unfair to you." ”
Xia Bo wondered, why did this guy have to take him with him?
"By the way, I forgot to take the talisman from the head of the house when I just came out, and we still can't leave. At this time, Elder Shi suddenly remembered the matter of Fu Seal and said.
"Didn't take the talisman seal, then you can tell a yarn!" Xia Bo was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he knew that this was the case, and he wouldn't bring you here.
Xia Bo was speechless, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see a person from Taiyi Gate, and he was depressed: What did the boy in Tsing Yi do? Could it be that the head of the house was the one he killed, and then he took the opportunity to escape?
At this time, the young man in Tsing Yi came late with the three elders.
The fire behind him has been extinguished, and Xia Bo hasn't seen what the corpse inside looks like, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
"Didn't I ask you to inform the elders, why are you so slow?" Seeing the young man in Tsing Yi and the others coming, Xia Bo asked anxiously.
"I was informed, but the elders said that they were busy, and they didn't come here until the alchemy was finished, so they wasted such a long time. The boy in Tsing Yi spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Then you said that the head of the sect is dead, but they don't seem to hear it, right?" Xia Bo really served the elders of the Taiyi Sect, and he still had the heart to alchemy there after such a big thing, it seems really strange!
"What did you say?" the Great Elder froze for a moment and said in disbelief, "The head of the sect is dead?"
"Why didn't anyone tell me that the head of the sect is dead?" the third elder grabbed Xia Bo by the collar and asked, "When the hell is this?"
"Judging from the corpse, it must have happened last night. Xia Bo's eyes flashed with a glint of doubt, and he looked at the young man in Tsing Yi curiously: "When Brother Gongzi went to inform you, didn't he tell you?"
"At that time, I saw that the three elders were all refining the pill at a critical time, so I didn't dare to tell them, for fear that they would be distracted and destroy the elixir. The boy in Tsing Yi said helplessly.
Xia Bo's forehead was full of black lines, no matter how important the alchemy is, could it be heavier than a dead person?
"Boy, you just said that judging from the corpse of the head of the sect, it should have happened last night, where is the body of the head of the house?" A flash of surprise flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
"It's in that room. Xia Bo didn't have any confidence now, and he was still a little scared, but he still said it.
When they walked into the room, there were still puffs of white smoke wafting from the room, and the body of the head of the house was basically charred.
"How can this be?" the young man in Tsing Yi turned around and asked, his gaze quickly falling on Elder Shi's body: "Who burned the body of the head of the sect?"
"I admit that I was next to the head of the house when the body was burned, but I was already asleep at that time, and when I woke up, the fire was already very big, and there was nothing I could do. Elder Shi said aggrievedly, "This has nothing to do with me. ”
The Great Elder's face began to look ugly, and his gaze began to sweep over Xia Bo and Elder Shi.
"Who are you?" Finally, the Great Elder's gaze fell on Xia Bo's body and asked, "Why did you appear in our Taiyi Gate?"
"I'm your elder here. Xia Bo said with his fists clenched.
"What elder, why didn't I hear what the senior brother of the sect told me before?" the Great Elder glared and questioned, "Isn't it necessary for the sect to notify me of a new elder?"
"Master, Senior Brother Xia Bo is really the elder of our Taiyi Sect, and he was just sealed by the head of the sect yesterday. At this time, the young man in Tsing Yi said: "At that time, you were all in retreat to refine the elixir, and the head of the sect was about to come up and be sleepy, so he said it directly in the main hall, so he didn't inform the master of you." ”
"So, you were there at the time?" the Great Elder asked gently.
"The disciple was not there. The boy in Tsing Yi whispered.
"Since you weren't there, how do you know?" the Great Elder asked, "Who else was in the main hall at that time besides you?"
Xia Bo was speechless again, originally thought that the boy in Tsing Yi was speaking for himself, but he didn't expect that the boy in Tsing Yi was a person who couldn't talk much.
"At that time, you were all refining pills, how could there be anyone?" Elder Shi said with some unconvincing: "I was on the scene when the head of the sect named Xia Bo as your Taiyi Sect elder, and I can prove it for Xia Bo." ”
"Boy, didn't you see that the words on this wall said, 'You and the dog can't go in'?" The Great Elder couldn't help but laugh and said disdainfully, "It was impossible for you to enter the main hall yesterday, and I won't believe it at all, unless you find other witnesses." ”
"At that time, there was no one else here, just Elder Shi. Xia Bo said helplessly.
"Well, I don't want to talk about it for now. The Great Elder discussed with the Third Elder for a while, but still didn't believe what Xia Bo said, and said solemnly, "However, how can you explain this fire?"
"If you want to ask, just ask Elder Shi. Xia Bo said directly.
"I didn't do it, what are you two watching me do?" Elder Shi said: "When the three of us came in in the morning, the head of the sect was already dead, and then he left, Xia Bo also went out, and I fell asleep here alone, and when I woke up, it was on fire inside, and the body of the head of the sect was also burned, and it had nothing to do with me." ”
Xia Bo almost collapsed, he really didn't know if Elder Shi wanted to help him or kill himself?
"Even if the two of you are colluding, can you say it better, such loopholes are full of loopholes, do you think I will believe you?" The Great Elder said disdainfully: "Second and third, will you believe what the two of them just said?"
"I don't believe it!" the Second Elder and the Third Elder said in unison.
"It really has nothing to do with me, and I don't have any reason to kill the head. Xia Bo glanced at Elder Shi speechlessly, took a breath and said.
"Yes, I have no reason to kill the master. Elder Shi also hurriedly said, "I've been here several times, and you all know my character. ”
"Be quiet for me!Can you stop talking while I'm talking?" Xia Bo almost died of anger, glared at Elder Shi and said, "After I finish speaking, you can speak again." ”
"Alright then, you speak first. Elder Shi said innocently.
"You go on, why don't you have a reason?" The more Elder Shi said, the more suspicious the Great Elder became, and his gaze fell on Xia Bo's body and said.
"I just arrived at Taiyi Gate yesterday, and the head of the sect asked me to be the nominal elder of this Taiyi Gate, and gave me a few pills. Xia Bo hurriedly said: "You say, the head of the house is so good to me, why should I kill the head of the house?"
"That's just as well. The Great Elder felt that there was some truth and nodded slightly.
"I don't have to explain too much to you, I'll just say a word. Seeing Xia Bo finish speaking, Xia Bo said with disdain: "I swear in the name of my ancestor that if I kill the head of Taiyi Sect, I will not be able to die with thunder and thunder!"
Hearing this, Xia Bo had a behavior that wanted to scold the street, this Elder Shi was too cunning, these elders had received a lot of favors from Elder Shi's ancestors, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything about Elder Shi's face.
"What now?" said the Third Elder's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the Great Elder.
"You ask me, who do I ask?" the Great Elder said angrily, "Do you want me to go to the Taibai Gate now to ask the Old Ancestor what is going on?"
"This ......" The third elder choked instantly, not daring to say anything more.
"Although what you just said makes sense, it doesn't mean that you don't have a reason to kill our head disciple. There was no way for them to suspect Elder Shi, so they looked at Xia Bo again and questioned, "Maybe it's because you got the Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill that you want to get more Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill, so you killed our head of the family." ”
"You said that I killed the head of the sect, can you show evidence?" Xia Bo didn't know what to say now, so he learned and said Elder Shi.
These three elders had just learned the news, and they had just arrived at the scene where it was still destroyed, so it was strange that they could find evidence of bullshit.
"Anyway, you're the most suspicious right now. The Great Elder paused, gritted his teeth and said, "You can't leave here until we find the murderer. ”
"Why can't I get out of here?" It didn't feel good to be wronged, Xia Bo said angrily: "It should be after you find evidence that I am the murderer, you can detain me here." ”
"Xia Bo, you are no match for the three elders at all, just stay here. At this time, Elder Shi whispered to Xia Bo: "I believe that the three elders are still quite good, as long as they find evidence, they will naturally give you justice." ”
"Do you still have the face to speak?" Xia Bo was almost angry, glared at Elder Shi fiercely and said: "In the morning, I went with the young man in Tsing Yi to find the master, and I didn't let you go, you had to follow, or you were the first to run to the master's room and find that the head was dead." ”
"You were the last to leave the room, nothing happened when we left, but why did the whole house start to catch fire as soon as you came out?"
"What can I say, I can only say that I am unlucky!" Elder Shi said innocently: "Anyway, everyone here knows that I am a broom star, not only bringing bad luck to others, but also my own bad luck. ”
Xia Bo was completely speechless, didn't he say that his luck was particularly good, why was he unlucky now?
"Boy, did you tie yourself up, or did I tie you up?" the Great Elder said coldly as he walked up to Xia Bo.
"Let your apprentice tie me up. In desperation, Xia Bo looked at the boy in Tsing Yi and said, "I think he is now the person who can best understand my mood at this time." ”
"Anyway, the two of us are here together, I can't take you back, so I have to do something for you. Elder Shi smiled innocently and said, "Xia Bo, why don't you let me tie you up." ”
Xia Bo was angry when he saw Elder Shi, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only nod with difficulty.
"Tie up Xia Bo first, and when the Tianzun of Taibaimen comes, we'll discuss what to do. The Great Elder thought for a moment and said.
"You haven't found evidence to prove that I'm the murderer, so you're waiting to deal with me?" Xia Bo was now tied up, completely helpless, and said with some unconvinced: "You don't know who the murderer is, why don't you let me investigate who the murderer is!"
"You are now the biggest suspect, what qualifications do you have to investigate?" the Great Elder snorted coldly and said, "We didn't directly destroy you, it's already good!"
"You say I'm the most suspicious, aren't you suspicious?" Xia Bo's eyes flashed with a defiant look, and he said, "Not only you, but also the entire disciples of Taiyi Sect are suspicious!"
"Each of you only cares about alchemy, who knows if you run out?" Xia Bo sneered and continued: "If you want to say the most suspicious person, it is me!"
