207: Traitor or Loyalist?
"Mr. Meng, it's not good!!"
While playing chess with Zhou Gong, Meng Xiang, who finally came to draw a car, was woken up by a sudden female voice.
"What's wrong?"
Looking up, I saw that it was Rou Xinyue who pushed the door in, and looked at her frightened appearance, as if she had lost her soul.
"Great Elder... Great Elder, he..."
Rou Xinyue was out of breath, and gasped for a while before she spoke: "The Great Elder was killed!"
"What?"
...
"This is really..."Meng Xiang didn't think about what to say in the second half of the sentence, but the scene in front of him was a little too miserable.
The Great Elder, who was supposed to be resting on the hospital bed, had already fallen to the ground at this moment.
Oh, no, it's a bit of a standard to say that the head falls to the ground, and there is a piece of skin attached to the neck.
The entire neck was crushed into meat sauce, and it looked as if the neck had disappeared, and the flesh of the severed neck flew up to the ceiling.
The bloody scenes are disgusting.
The bed behind it, the floor behind the bed, all have a hole through it.
It seems that someone secretly shot an arrow at the Great Elder when no one was around, breaking the Great Elder's neck.
It's not an efficient practice.
Meng Xiang felt the disobedience at a glance.
The Great Elder is in a coma, and if he wants to kill him, he can just stab him twice with a knife, so why do you want to shoot arrows?
"Why is this happening?" Rou Xinyue covered her mouth, as if she was about to collapse, if it wasn't for Meng Xiang reaching out quickly and supporting her, she was afraid that she would have fallen.
"Who would do such a thing?" the Prison Bull sighed, covering the Great Elder's eyelids that had not yet blinked.
The other four five tigers will be on the sidelines, praying for the deceased with their eyes closed.
"How could this be?" the Second Elder walked up to Lei Wei and asked, "You were taking care of the Great Elder at the time, why is this happening?"
Where is Lei Wei still as imposing as usual at this moment, his frightened face is like a dead corpse, looking at the corpse of the Great Elder in a daze, he can only shake his head in a daze.
"I... I do not know... I was... I went to fetch water for the Great Elder to wipe his body, and when I came back, I saw... Great Elder, he's..."
"Wait, weren't you taking care of the Great Elder at that time?" Meng Xiang asked Rou Xinyue curiously.
Rou Xinyue said: "It was supposed to be me, but Lei Wei said he could do it and let me go to rest, so I left." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lei Wei suddenly shook as if he had been electrocuted.
Everyone, all eyes, instantly focused on Lei Wei.
Lei Wei froze, staring at everyone blankly, and couldn't help but take a step back: "You... What do you see I'm doing, I..."
"I'm back. ”
Without waiting for Lei Wei to explain, Xuan Feng's voice broke the silence.
I saw him push the door open, holding a bloodstained arrow in his hand: "This was found along the hole behind the broken wall." ”
"This is an elven arrow?" the second elder recognized at a glance.
"Well, the Second Elder is right. The three elders also confirmed.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Lei Wei again.
Lei Wei really panicked this time.
"Hey... What do you mean... You don't suspect that I killed the Great Elder, do you?" he shuddered and stepped back.
Wrong.
Meng Xiang felt a little disobedient, but he didn't speak, just accelerated his brain and repeatedly examined the scene.
But at this moment, everyone walked neatly and slowly approached Lei Wei.
Even if Lei Wei is a tiger, in the face of such a scene, his legs trembled in fright: "Don't be like this, it's just an arrow, you will suspect me?
"My bow has always used true elements to condense arrows, and there is no need for physical arrows, only you use the bow here. Xuan Feng's tone was a little solemn.
If the atmosphere at the scene can speak, then it is probably saying at this moment: Lei Wei, why did you kill the Great Elder?
"Don't worry. "Although the second elder is fair, he is also a black elf, and he is a little partial to Lei Wei.
He stood up and said: "It's too early to make a conclusion, the elf's arrow cage is full of eighteen arrows, and the supply of our arrows, each of them needs to be reported, and there will be no mistakes." Lei Wei's last addition was five days ago when the Tree Peak was reviewed, and the Great Elder had just died, and if Lei Wei was the murderer, he should be missing an arrow in his arrow cage. ”
"Oh! yes!"
When Lei Wei heard this, he immediately untied the arrow cage behind him excitedly, and couldn't wait to present it to everyone: "Look, my arrow cage is full, I don't believe you count." ”
"Take inventory. ”
Xuan Feng stepped forward and took the arrow cage, handed it to the three elders, and asked him to count.
The crowd waited silently for the result.
Lei Wei kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and the seconds of counting arrows seemed as long as decades to him.
The atmosphere at the scene was very cold.
"Xinyue..."Lei Wei looked at Rou Xinyue with some sustenance.
But Rou Xinyue turned her face sideways in grief, avoiding his gaze.
Rou Xinyue lost her parents at the age of ten, she was raised by the three elders, especially the eldest elder, who took good care of her, she is probably the most painful person present now.
Soon, the third elder, who had counted the arrows, returned the arrow cage to the second elder.
"How are you?" the second elder asked urgently.
The three elders had a calm face and did not say a word.
After a moment, he slowly raised his hand.
One hand is one, and the other is seven.
It means seventeen arrows.
One less!
Suddenly, everyone in the audience gasped.
At this moment, Lei Wei was stunned.
"No! it can't be!" he snatched the cage of arrows like madness, and counted them with his hands that were shaky as chaff.
I was so nervous that I even counted incorrectly several times.
And then...
"How... In this way..."
Eighteen arrows, a total of nine pairs, and the ninth pair that Lei Wei counted, but there was only one, so...
His quiver is really one less.
"Rewey, you... Why?!" The second elder covered his aching heart, looked at the stunned Lei Wei, and roared indignantly: "The Great Elder usually treats you well, why do you want to kill him?!"
"It's not me!!"
Lei Wei retreated like a collapse, he was a little confused, and his face didn't know whether to be sad or angry: "I haven't used an arrow!
"Rewey, we'd love to believe you, too, but..."
The prisoner shook his head with a disappointed expression: "Recently, you are the only one in this room, no one has been here except you, and the skin and flesh of the Great Elder's wound are scorched, it is obvious that only your Thunder True Yuan has this effect." ”
"Brother Prison Cow, why are you even the same..."Lei Wei looked at the Prison Cow in horror.
And the expression of the imprisoned cow has already said it all. "Only you and Xuanfeng use arrows here, but Xuanfeng was not there when the incident happened, and Xuanfeng did not use physical arrows, and the great elder died under the thunder arrows, Lei Wei, ironclad evidence is like a mountain. ”
Everyone didn't want to believe that Lei Wei had killed the Great Elder, but now, as the prisoner Niu said, the evidence is ironclad, and if you don't believe it, you have to believe it.
"Xinyue, you believe me, I didn't do it!"
Lei Wei hit her left foot and hit her right foot and ran to Rou Xinyue, held her arms, and pinned his last hope on Rou Xinyue.
"I really just went out to fetch water, and when I came back, the Great Elder was already dead! It's not me, I really didn't kill him, you believe me! Although we have contradictions, don't you still understand who I am?"
He shook Rou Xinyue desperately.
But Rou Xinyue... But silently reached out and pushed him away heavily.
Lei Wei didn't expect Rou Xinyue to push himself, and suddenly lost his center and fell to the ground.
Raising his head, what Lei Wei saw was Rou Xinyue's angry hazy teary eyes.
"How do you make me believe in you? The Great Elder is like my father to me, how can you make me believe in you! Hehe......"
She smiled sadly and wryly: "Lei Wei, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, I really misjudged you." ”
"Xinyue, don't... Don't do this... It's really not me!It's really not me!!"
Lei Wei got up and wanted to say something.
But as soon as he took a step, a hand was clasped around his shoulder.
"The evidence is ironclad, there is no need for trial, you, a traitor of the elven clan, deserve to be punished on the spot!"
Xuan Feng grabbed Lei Wei and fell into the corner like a little doll.
Immediately, Xuan Feng pulled out his longbow and aimed it at Lei Wei's front door.
The bow spirit, the wrath of the strongest man of the elven clan, was about to befall him.
No... Wrong...
Meng Xiangyu, who was looking at the scene, frowned.
It always felt like something was wrong.
