Chapter 208: Angry Governor Again, Fatal Blow (2/5)
September 18, the eleventh game cycle, the Endless Sea world.
At noon the second day after Jory's death, the meeting hall of Storm's End.
Because Jory was inexplicably killed, the ministers of Storm's End and the governor's family were in the meeting hall to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.
After the governor refused Jory's mother, Celine Weiss, to see Jory's body, Chief Councillor Moros suppressed his emotions.
He walked out of the queue and suggested to the governor that the murderer who killed Jory should be caught as soon as possible.
He said:
"I have a little friendship with the high priest of the Dream Keeper. Maybe I can ask the high priest to come forward and find out the murderer who killed Mr. Jory."
Moros's grief and anger were beyond words. He knew that Jory was his child, and he certainly wanted to avenge Jory.
Because of Moros's suggestion, the voice of agreement was heard again in the meeting hall.
Some noble representatives and ministers even came out to express their opinions, and some of them agreed with Moros.
Some were willing to use their family's personal resources to invite famous supernatural forces from all sides to come to Fengxi City to investigate the case.
The Grand Mage of the Violet Eye, the High Priest of the Dream Keeper, the Hunter of the Northern Forest...
For a time, the names of those high-level supernaturals who were famous in the Endless Sea appeared in the meeting hall one after another.
But all this once again made the Governor extremely irritated.
He couldn't let anyone or any force track down the real murderer, because before tracking down, they would definitely check Qiao Li's body.
They would find something strange, and then during the investigation, they would find the Soul Eater, the Lava Lord Cocoon, and their own secrets, and things would become more and more uncontrollable.
For the first time, Governor Fair, whose soul was affected by the forbidden spell, had the urge to destroy everything.
"Shut up!"
The Governor, whose mind was torn by the forbidden spell and was on the verge of losing control again, shouted at everyone.
His angry and irritable voice resounded throughout the meeting hall, shocking all the sounds to stop abruptly.
The strong sunlight at noon still shone in from the top window.
In the spacious and magnificent meeting hall, the governor's abnormal behavior seemed to have paused everything. Everyone was stunned, and the scene was as quiet as an oil painting.
It was quiet for a long time.
The noble representatives and ministers looked at each other. They didn't know what they had done wrong. They were obviously trying to bring the murderer to justice and avenge Qiao Li.
No one knew why the governor would stop the investigation of the murderer. For a father, it didn't make sense at all.
But at this moment, the governor just sat with his eyes closed and adjusted his breath, and no one dared to say anything.
In the quiet crowd, Xia, who watched all this silently, felt that she had got the exact answer.
It was exactly the same answer as Li Feng's guess.
Because of the cause of Qiao Li's death, the governor was guilty, and he didn't dare to order people to investigate, especially those extraordinary forces that the ministers proposed to invite.
Seeing the enemy in such a predicament, Xia was in a good mood. Pang Luosi Feier also had this day.
'But all this is thanks to Lai Yin's plan.
If he hadn't changed the cause of Jory's death in my plan, the Governor wouldn't have dared to investigate the murderer.
He wouldn't have been under so much pressure, and most importantly...
The Governor couldn't explain to the ministers, and his abnormal behavior would arouse suspicion, and suspicion would spread like wildfire, triggering various possibilities. '
Xia analyzed in her heart, and then she felt that it was almost time to reveal the truth and take revenge on Serin Weiss.
Facing the sunlight from the top window, Xia walked to the center of the meeting hall in the puzzled eyes of everyone and said what she had "divinated".
"Makeup box? Something related to Jory?"
Governor Fel, who was in a irritable mood, stared at Xia and asked puzzledly.
Everyone found that the Governor's attitude towards Xia's divination results was much more patient than catching the murderer who killed Jory.
Because he heard Xia's divination, Governor Fel suddenly thought of what Marsas said.
'Jory might have been killed by the lava lord cocoon, and he might have done that to give you some reminders. ’
After a moment of hesitation, the Governor turned his attention to the result of Xia’s divination.
“Yes, I divined that there are some secrets in Mrs. Weiss’s dressing box, about Jory’s secret.”
Xia said firmly.
The meeting room was very quiet, and everyone present did not understand what Xia meant.
What they could think of was at most some evidence that Mrs. Weiss abused her power for Jory.
But now Jory is dead, is it necessary to mention these?
But when the victim, Mrs. Weiss, heard Xia’s words, she was stunned.
She naturally knew what was in her dressing box, and each of those letters could cost her life.
Serin Weiss collapsed, and she shouted at Xia frantically:
“You are talking nonsense, you are framing me, you…”
As she spoke, she was about to step forward and tear Xia apart, and her extreme behavior surprised everyone present again.
The whispers started again:
"What's going on? Is there something more important to Mrs. Weiss than Jory's death?"
Seeing Seren Weiss's reaction, her lover, another person involved in the incident, Moros, suddenly understood.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back, and Moros cursed Seren Weiss in his heart for being so careless.
But compared to Seren Weiss, Moros was still relatively calm. He stepped forward to support his cousin Seren Weiss, and then said to Xia:
"Mrs. Weiss is also for Jory's good, she may be confused for a moment.
But now is obviously not the time to talk about this, so you'd better not add to the chaos. "
Moros said something ambiguous, and then called the guards to take Shia down.
In Moros' impression, Shia has always been a timid person, and she couldn't even speak a complete sentence in front of too many people.
She may have mustered up the courage to take revenge on Celine Weiss because of her mother's death, but she has no backer or support.
If you scare her, she won't dare to resist.
As long as we delay for a while and quickly replace the letter in the makeup box, this storm will be over.
But just as Moros was thinking this and the guard was about to approach, Shia looked calm and replied to Moros clearly:
"I remember that when Qiao Li's accident happened last night, you were so sad that you lost your temper. I thought Qiao Li was not just your nephew, right?"
Shia's voice reached everyone's ears clearly. In the meeting hall, these words seemed to press the pause button for everything.
There was no fool among the people present, and they naturally understood the accusation behind Shia's words.
It's just that the news was too shocking, and everyone was stunned again.
But at the same time, this secret explains in everyone's mind why Moros has been giving everything to Qiaoli.
Moros was also shocked. He could not imagine that Shia would say such a thing.
"Of course Jory is Moros' nephew, what on earth are you trying to say!?"
Seeing that the matter seemed to be exposed, Celine Weiss took over from Moros and began to argue fiercely.
"The letter in your dressing box will explain."
Shia looked at Seren Weiss calmly, and she replied with a faint smile of victory.
Seeing this, Celine Weiss couldn't control herself at all. She rushed towards Shia frantically, trying to pull her hair and dress.
But the next second, Celine Weiss was caught by the guards authorized by the Governor.
At the same time, another team of guards had gone to Celine Weiss's room to retrieve her makeup box.
At this moment, Governor Penros Fair, who has been sitting in the main seat and watching all this, has completely understood.
‘Jory is not my child at all, he is the child of Celine Weiss and Moros.
And the lava lord Cocoon reminded me of the truth by killing the impostor and giving Shia divination revelation. ’
