Chapter 992: Poisoned to Death!
"If I'm not mistaken, the dagger is on you, the Third Elder. Xia Bo nodded, and then pointed to the third elder and said.
"How is that possible?" The Third Elder was slightly stunned, and then said very innocently: "Although I came before you, I haven't moved since I came in, and I am waiting for you here, and we only started looking for the dagger after you came in, why did I say that I took the dagger?"
"Because...... You're the murderer!" At this time, the Great Elder walked in and said.
The Second Elder was behind the Great Elder, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Big brother, what are you talking about?" The third elder was instantly dumbfounded, and said, "Why do you suspect that it's me?"
"We just saw you hide the dagger, and it's inside your sleeve. The Great Elder's face shone resolutely, and he said indifferently.
"Big brother, when did you start doubting me?" Many disciples of the Taiyi Sect kept surrounding, as if they were waiting for them, and the third elder suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked.
"Actually, the person who doubted you at first was not me, but Xia Bo!" The Great Elder was silent for a long time, looked at the Third Elder, and said, "Xia Bo came over and begged me to prove something, so I temporarily believed him once, but I didn't expect it to be you. β
"Boy, if it weren't for me, you would have been executed as a murderer. The third elder looked at Xia Bo and said in disbelief: "I helped you so much before, but you actually began to doubt me, I am really blind." β
"If there is no complete evidence, the Great Elder will not put me to death. Xia Bo waved his hand and said, "Before, the Great Elder questioned me as a murderer, but he always said that he invited the Tianzun of Taibai Sect to come over and do some divination to see what was going on. β
"If you didn't help me at that time, the people from Taibaimen would definitely come, and as long as you divination, you can be sure that I am not a murderer. A faint smile appeared on Xia Bo's face, and he continued: "At that time, you can't destroy the formation, because once you destroy the formation, it means that I didn't do it. β
"Yes, I helped you at the time. The third elder said innocently: "At that time, I really felt that you were not a murderer, but this does not mean that I am a murderer." β
"In the beginning, I didn't believe you were a murderer. Xia Bo nodded slightly and said, "I have doubted the Second Elder, but I have never doubted the Great Elder. β
"Why?" the Great Elder's eyes flashed with confusion.
"The Great Elder has a short temper, if it was the murderer, it is estimated that he would have been found out a long time ago. Xia Bo said directly.
"Then why don't you continue to doubt the Second Elder, but suspect me?" the Third Elder frowned and said, "In my opinion, the Second Elder is even more suspicious. β
"I thought so at first, the second elder was silent, making it difficult to detect what kind of character it was, or whether he had any grievances with the head of the family. Xia Bo said very frankly: "It's a pity that at this time, you did a lot of things that made me start to doubt you. β
"What do I do to make you suspicious, why don't I know?" The smile on the third elder's face was very unnatural, and gradually became stiff: "Boy, what do you mean, why do you doubt me?"
"It's simple, I started to doubt you when you went to the portal. Charbob didn't want to waste any more time, so he said.
"I'll go to the portal, is there anything wrong with that?" the third elder was dumbfounded.
"When I went to the portal with Elder Shi, I found that without the talisman seal, I couldn't return to the Taibai Gate at all. Xia Bo said: "During this period, many people must not be able to go to Taibai Gate, but the only possible one is someone who has a talisman." β
"I'm not the only one who has the talisman, how can you think I'm the murderer?" the third elder said disdainfully: "Just based on this, it's too much to say. β
"Based on this, the other two elders also have a talisman, which definitely doesn't mean that you are a murderer. Shabo continued: "I'm just saying that I'm starting to doubt you here. β
"If you are suspicious, you should even suspect the second child, you can't always suspect me alone. The third elder said unhappily: "Your suspicions are deliberately aimed at me. β
"There must be some secret on that dagger, if you are not a murderer, why did you hide the dagger?" Xia Bo said directly.
"I put the dagger away because I lost one last night, and I just found the dagger here, so I hurriedly took it back, just to prove that I am not the murderer. The third elder took out the dagger and said helplessly: "Of course, I admit that I am a little naΓ―ve to do this, but there is no way." β
"Third Elder, you are so cute. Xia Bo suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "Just now you deliberately kept a certain distance from us just so as not to let us suspect you, and look for a dagger after arriving here in advance, but because of this, you were harmed." β
"Why?" the three elders wondered.
"Third brother, this dagger should be yours, right?" At this time, the Great Elder took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"It's shameful that the two of you have joined forces to play with me!" The Third Elder's eyes widened, looking at the Great Elder in disbelief, and he threw the dagger in his hand to the ground.
"Now that he's in full form, what else is there to say?" said Xia Bo to the Great Elder.
"Third Elder, let me ask you, why did you kill the head of the sect?" the Great Elder nodded, looked at the Third Elder and asked.
"I still say the same thing, I don't know who took the dagger, I didn't kill the head of the house!" The third elder explained: "Just now I heard that the head of the head was killed by the dagger, and I was a little worried that someone was going to frame me, so in desperation, I ran here and took the dagger away in advance. β
"Do you have any other evidence that the Third Elder is the murderer?" said the Great Elder as he turned his head and looked at Xia Bo.
"I just said that this dagger belongs to the third elder, and the third elder is very suspicious, and he didn't say that the third elder is the murderer!" Xia Bo's eyes flashed with a very helpless light.
"The murderer is not the Third Elder, so why do you still let me watch here with many disciples of the Taiyi Sect?" The Great Elder was very annoyed and said angrily, "What do you think?"
"I was the most suspicious before, so naturally I have to transfer the suspicion, and I can't help it!" Xia Bo said helplessly: "The other three elders are the most suspicious, but you have been paying attention to me, an innocent person, I can only find a way to make you pay attention to the three elders." β
"If I knew that you didn't find the murderer at all, Lao Tzu wouldn't have wasted time with you. The Great Elder's heart was very unhappy, and he waved his hand and said.
"It's funny that we are the age of people being played around by a junior. The third elder shook his head and said, "Big brother, you believe that you have mistaken it this time." β
"Now that the Third Elder is more suspicious than me, am I not suspicious?"
"Get out!" said Shabo unceremoniously at this moment, feeling that he was isolated.
"Now the old man is the most suspicious, and you have nothing to do. The third elder said with a smile.
"The head of the sect died of poisoning, and I didn't have time to poison the head of the sect, so there was nothing to do with me in the first place!" said Elder Shi with a honest smile.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened in unison, looking at Elder Shi in disbelief.
"I don't have any grudges with your boss, and I have no reason to kill him. Elder Shi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly took a step back and said.
"Elder Shi, how did you know that the head of the sect had died of poisoning?" Xia Bo grabbed Elder Shi's collar and asked.
"The body of the head of the house was charred, and just now I accidentally stepped on the head of the man's chest, and the bones of his chest cavity shattered. Elder Shi hurriedly said, "I saw that the sternum of the head of the sect was black, isn't this a sign of poisoning?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Xia Bo was almost angry, this matter was really not as simple as he imagined, it was all wrong, which made people very entangled.
"The head of the house died of poisoning?" asked the boy in Tsing Yi in a low voice, "It seems that we have a new direction of investigation." β
"It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the third child, the dagger is just to cover up the real cause of death of the head of the house, which was intentional by the murderer. The Great Elder said, "Soon after a person is poisoned, the skin on his face will show signs of poisoning, and I think that the fire before was also deliberately set by someone. β
"When we came in, there was no one in the house, the windows were open, and maybe the murderer ran out of the window. Xia Bo nodded and said, "After I went out with the boy in Tsing Yi, Elder Shi also fell asleep, and the murderer took the opportunity to throw the torch in. β
"Maybe you took advantage of Yan Nanfei's absence, and you had the opportunity to set a fire to burn this place, and the two of you are the most suspicious. The Great Elder's gaze fell on Xia Bo and Elder Shi.
"I was fine when I left, but when I went out to call Yan Nanfei, Yan Nanfei glanced back and saw that there was no fire in the house. Xia Bo said with a sigh.
"Master, that's true. Yan Nanfei said hurriedly.
"Elder Shi, you are the most suspicious right now. The Great Elder's questioning gaze instantly fell on Elder Shi's body.
"I was asleep, and I don't know how the fire was burned, so I couldn't have continued to set it while I was sleeping. Elder Shi hurriedly denied it: "Besides, I really don't need to set fire, I can't be the murderer's helper." β
"Elder Shi found out that the head of the sect was poisoned and died, if he was the murderer, wouldn't it be bad for him to say it?"
"That's just as well. The Great Elder suddenly felt that something was wrong, and raised his eyebrows sharply and said, "Boy, what do you mean by this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Charborough was momentarily dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with you, who do you make us suspect now that you're so stirred up?" said the Great Elder a little angrily, "I can't even find a single suspect, how can I continue to investigate." β
"After such a fuss, the three of us are no longer suspicious. Xia Bo said, "Great Elder, isn't it a good thing that I eliminated three suspects for you?"
"Since you said this is a good thing, then I will give you three days to solve the case. The Great Elder said with a little disdain: "If you can't find out, then you will be responsible for everything!"
"Great Elder, do you think it was me and Elder Shi who did it? Then what else to investigate, you can directly convict the two of us, saving you a waste of time. Xia Bo said unconvinced: "The head of the house has such a confused senior brother as you, let the head of the house die blindly, he deserves it anyway!"
"Great Elder, this is all his intention, it has nothing to do with me!" Elder Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I am too wronged, and I don't have the backbone like Xia Bo." β
"Now that the head of the sect is gone, he has the final say, you are really a wreck, it is naturally very simple for him to convict us!" Looking at Elder Shi, Xia Bo said coldly: "It is not so simple for him to kill us, after all, we are all people from Taibai Gate, and those who kill Taibai Gate must give Tianzun of Taibai Gate a good reason." β
"This is Taiyi Gate, not Taibai Gate, Lao Tzu can do whatever he wants!" The Great Elder finally couldn't help it, instantly shattered the table, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu wants to kill you, and he doesn't have to give any explanation to Taibai Gate at all!"
Such an aura shocked everyone.
Seeing the Great Elder's angry look, the Third Elder and the Second Elder were also a little unable to react, what was going on?
Suddenly, Xia Bo felt that something was wrong, and secretly said in his heart: "The Great Elder's behavior was too sudden and suspicious, why didn't he notice it before?"
"The Great Elder is just talking about angry words, don't take it to heart!" The Third Elder hurriedly walked out and said, "Our Taiyi Sect and Taibai Sect have always been good brothers, and if there is something to discuss, we will naturally discuss it together, and we will deal with these enemies of the Heavenly Thunder Sect together." β
"I see, it scared me to death just now. Elder Shi said with a heartfelt smile, and patted Xia Bo on the shoulder: "You don't have to worry, Elder Shi just scared us just now." β
"Great Elder, I didn't speak a little unpleasantly just now, please don't take it to heart. Xia Bo hurriedly clenched his fists and apologized, knowing that he couldn't afford to provoke this person, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Xia Bo's heart began to question, did the Great Elder really just talk casually?
"From now on, no one can leave here!" the Great Elder snorted coldly and said, "Otherwise, it will be a traitor to the Taiyi Sect, and if you catch it, you will bear the consequences!"
"I think so too. The third elder nodded slightly, then looked at Elder Shi and said with a smile: "Elder Shi, you are also a member of the Taibai Sect, you should also learn some divination, you can also divinate who is the murderer." β
"That's right, divination whether the murderer is this kid or not, so that he can save me from becoming a weather!" The Great Elder nodded, glared at Xia Bo angrily, and said angrily: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't let him appear in front of me and drive him down the mountain for me." β
"yes, how did I forget that I was still a soothsayer. Elder Shi instantly came to his senses, and said with a humble smile: "I still know a little bit about divination, but I can try it." β
"Okay, you can try it. The Great Elder waved his hand and said.
"Although I know some divination, my Taoism is a bit shallow, and I can only do divination once a month. Elder Shi was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "After I finish divination, you don't ask me again, is this okay?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and divination!" Xia Bo said angrily, the murderer is about to surface, and there is no need to investigate.
