Chapter 1048 Clues
I carried the body with severed hands home and threw it into the yard. I washed my hands, changed out of my bloody clothes and pants, and sat down on the sofa. I turned my head lazily and saw Remi squatting like a puppy. Beside the sofa, her eyes were bright and full of energy. Behind her, Xiao Zhi squatted like a big dog, her insect eyes sparkling, and she was not sleepy.
Me: ".Aren't you sleepy?"
Remy shook his head, and Xiao Zhi shook his antennae.
"Then" I struggled in my heart for several seconds, but I still couldn't help but said it out: "Do you want to go to the Elf Forest?"
Remy nodded and clicked his antennae.
God is in sync!
In fact, at this time, I have entered a state where I can speak but my body is too lazy to move. To use the expression of the Blue Planet, it is - lazy cancer attack.
But helplessly, the looks of Remi and Xiaozhi were like stimulants, constantly stimulating every cell in my body and stimulating my sympathy: Look, how pitiful we are, just take us away, okay?
I really couldn't resist this innocent and pitiful look, so I covered my face and groaned: "Okay, I lost to you, let's go."
I was breathing heavily and just arrived at the door with Xiaozhi and Remi. Suddenly I thought about whether the black corpses in the yard would scare Emily who got up early for morning exercise if we came back late, so I stopped at the door. He turned his body back, found a large piece of white paper, and wrote eight characters on it with an ink pen: There is a corpse in the courtyard, please pay attention.
He pasted the white paper in the most conspicuous place, took a few steps back and looked at it again, expressing that he was very satisfied, and then he took Xiaozhi and Remi out of the door with confidence.
When I arrived at the Elf Forest and looked at the endless forest, I felt worried again: I forgot to ask, where was Princess Analetta attacked?
Holding her chin and thinking hard, there was a subtle buzzing sound in her ears. When she heard it, Remi was squatting on the ground, chatting with a hamster.
Remy: Zhizhizhi.
Hamster: squeak.
One person and one mouse chatted animatedly, as if old friends reunited after not seeing each other for many years.
I, who didn't understand animal language at all, and Xiaozhi, who didn't know whether he knew animal language or not, stood quietly aside and watched forcefully.
The man and mouse chatted for almost twenty minutes, and the conversation just ended. The mouse slithered back into the hole. Remy watched the mouse leave, and then turned to look at me, with an expression on her face that was still full of meaning.
Seeing that she was lingering, I asked, "Why don't we chat for a little longer?"
Remi shook her head: "Its mother told it to go home and sleep."
After that, we continued walking in the forest for nearly half an hour.
I was looking for clues while walking, trying my luck to find the location where the little princess was attacked, while Remi and Xiaozhi were walking and chatting with various creatures, having a great time.
During this period, I repeatedly wanted to scold Remi and Xiaozhi for being too excited, which had disturbed my search for clues. However, seeing their happy expressions, I couldn't help it.
While I was struggling, I suddenly stood still and slapped myself hard on the forehead. The crisp sound startled Remi and Xiaozhi. They looked at me worriedly, wondering what evil I had done. sick.
In fact, I was not sick, and my brain did not suddenly short-circuit. It was just a sudden flash of inspiration, and I thought of a clever plan to find clues. The reason why I slapped my forehead was because this clever plan was so close at hand, but I didn’t know until Now I just found out - Remi can speak various languages, wouldn't it be great if she could ask about the animals and plants in the forest!
Suddenly, I thought of something again. Isn't it just for this purpose that I asked Remi to go to the Elf Forest together?
Really, in the rush, I completely forgot about my previous purpose!
It's all the blame on those three dead men who suddenly showed up, yes, it's all their fault!
After shirking all the responsibilities, I felt much more comfortable. I called Remi closer and asked her, "Do you like Princess Analetta?"
Remy nodded.
"Do you want to help her find the murderer and help her get revenge?"
Remy continued to nod.
I stroked her head with satisfaction: "Ask the creatures around you and see if any of them know where Princess Analetta was attacked, okay?"
"Okay" Remy answered simply.
"You are inducing a young girl to work for you, which is the same as hiring child labor." Odachi's voice rang in his mind: "Don't you feel guilty for doing this?"
"Not at all" I said with a smile.
"It seems like your conscience has been snatched away by a dog." Odachi didn't forget to sarcastically mock me.
"Have some common sense. Can such a thing as conscience be used as food?" I ridiculed it.
Then, Odachi and I started yelling at each other, and it was so intense.
I was forgetting my words when I suddenly felt someone tugging on my sleeve. When I looked down, Remy was looking at me expectantly.
Now, I have not yet been freed from the state of scolding and ridicule. I dare not speak for a while, for fear that the curse words will leak out and lead to spoiling the children, so I can only raise my eyebrows and say with a nasal voice: "Huh?"
Remi said excitedly: "Xiaoyi, I'm done asking, just over there, follow me."
She pointed in a direction and jumped up and down, as if she had found the child in the toy section.
While I continued to debate Odachi in my mind, I took Xiaozhi and followed Remi towards the destination.
Walking through grass and trees, we soon came to a clearing.
There are two large trees connected together, and two huge branches are tightly intertwined to form a natural suspended lounge chair.
On the lower side of the recliner, there were several crossbow arrows inserted in various directions. The crossbow arrows did not penetrate deeply into the tree trunk, only about half an inch.
Holding the edge of the tree trunk with one hand, he pulled out the crossbow arrows one by one with the other hand, threw them to the ground, then jumped lightly and landed firmly on the ground.
Picking up the crossbow arrow, he examined it carefully under the moonlight. There was no written mark on the arrow body, and the workmanship was not refined enough. It was barely considered fine. The material of the arrow body was also average. He clasped the middle part of the crossbow arrow with three fingers and exerted slight force. There was a crisp click. , the crossbow arrow changed into two parts.
He glanced at the cross section of the broken arrow: "It's just an ordinary wooden material, you can see it almost everywhere."
"This way, it will be even harder to be discovered," Odachi said, "Those who can do this are probably dead soldiers."
"How can you see it?" I asked.
"I guessed it," Odachi said.
"This is so irresponsible. You have to give me some explanation before you can make sense."
"You want an explanation? Go to that assassin friend of yours," Odachi said, "I'm just a sword. I don't understand the nonsense of you humans."
"You just find it troublesome, don't you?" I frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, the moon is so full today!" Odachi started to act stupid.
I put all the crossbow arrows on the ground and the broken arrows in my hand on Xiao Zhi's back, then climbed up the tree trunk again and carefully looked at the various scratches and cuts left on it.
There was no damage on the upper side of the tree trunk. All traces were on the sides and below. Presumably, before the attack, the little princess must have discovered some clues. She jumped off the trunk first and entered a state of alert. Unfortunately, there were too many opponents and she was defeated. escape.
