Ye Zhaoling rubbed his neck helplessly, his mind full of confusion. Did he really escape the disaster? Why did he feel that the direction of things was becoming more and more out of control?
"Don't worry, our alibi has been established." Rensuke Shirakawa bent down and picked her up, "unless they insist on sending us away together."
The sweet fragrance of flowers hit his face, and Ye Zhaoling froze, groping around his neck, and said uneasily: "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. Originally, it was just a conspiracy against me.
That’s all…”
So she felt her chest trembling under her shoulders, and a burst of laughter came from above her head: "Miss Ye, do you really think this incident is just for you?"
Ye Zhaoling was confused by the question. In fact, it was probably because she ate too much every day and always felt like her brain couldn't turn around: "...I don't quite understand? It's true that the murderer wanted to kill me. There's no need to
Doubtful. If I fall into a well and never climb out, and die on the spot, then his purpose will be achieved without anyone noticing;"
"But unexpectedly, I didn't die, so he deliberately picked up the body from the well and placed it outside the church after I left. As the first witness, I had just left the church and even found the body.
Under the circumstances, I did not choose to report it immediately, so I was highly suspected of murder."
"It seems that I am the only one being targeted now. After the death knell rang, the church gathered and everyone was present. This was undoubtedly a good opportunity for me, a good opportunity to catch the murderer. Could it be that
Isn’t the purpose of holding a rally to find out the truth and catch the real culprit?”
Rensuke Shirakawa did not answer, and asked after hesitating for a long time.
"Is the truth important to you?"
"Yes, it is very important. I can become the second victim instead of the second deceased. This already shows the problem. The murderer is committing crimes serially. Although I escaped by chance, it is just good luck."
"I even have a premonition that the murderer will not let me go just because I am a blind man and do not pose a big threat to him. He is very likely to attack me again. After all, I should be the remaining one."
The one who is the best to attack among the eleven people. As long as he seizes the opportunity to kill me with one blow, then there is a 50% chance that the next victim will be me."
Rensuke Shirakawa nodded in approval: "Yes, your blindness has become a weakness that everyone knows. The murderer will frequently use this to attack you."
As he said this, his tone did not have much emotional fluctuation, as if he was just stating a small matter.
Ye Zhaoling was keenly aware that he was hesitant to speak: "But you have other opinions, right?"
"I do have some...completely different views."
His clear voice was right next to his ears. Ye Zhaoling couldn't help but shrink his neck and said nonchalantly: "Please tell me more, Mr. Baichuan."
Shirakawa Rensuke hummed, blew on the top of her head, and then explained: "There is a petal."
Seeing that he had caused her to open her eyes wide, and her round eyes showed a bit of confusion, he laughed inexplicably.
"Have you ever thought about their thoughts?" After the interlude, his question was quite concise and clear.
Rensuke Shirakawa asked seductively: "Are they as anxious as you?"
This is an extremely subtle point.
No one can relate to it.
Other people who have not been harmed may not really understand her panic, because in their view, their own interests have not been damaged, and this body may also be the end.
It is better to do less than to do more, and not to get into trouble is the most correct approach.
Playing safe and watching the fire from the other side is also the cheapest way for others.
"Then what you mean is..." Ye Zhaoling understood a little of his thoughts and said with a slight hesitation, "Should I give up this opportunity to bring the murderer to light?"
"I might be able to lure out the murderer."
Through the church meeting, where everyone is present, she should try her best to find out the clues left by the murderer; she should do this so that others can be wary of the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise the probability of the murderer's crime will only become worse, even if
If it wasn't her, there would be a third person who would be victimized.
"If you did this," Rensuke Shirakawa's tone was light, but it was like a hammer hitting people's hearts, "Would the murderer not think about it? Since he dared to display the body, he would be confident."
He reminded in a low voice: "Don't step into his trap."
"So……"
"Do you still remember Elizabeth who was tied to the cross after the church bells rang last time?"
Ye Zhaoling shook his head in confusion, but he intuitively felt that the name was extremely familiar: "Who is she? It seems a bit familiar..." If you are not sure, look again.
"Elizabeth Guihen Sourian Sherryvere." A string of difficult-to-pronounce names appeared on Rensuke Shirakawa's lips, and he said calmly, "I found evidence of her innocence."
Ye Zhaoling had no memory at all. She frowned but couldn't remember anything.
"...I'm sorry, I can't remember her...I..."
"It doesn't matter," Shirakawa Rensuke comforted softly, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember her. She is not important."
"Huh?..." Ye Zhaoling was completely confused.
"What I want to say is, the thirteen commandments of her execution. You should still have an impression of this?"
"I remember this." Ye Zhaoling nodded. The Thirteen Commandments must be recited in full every night before going to bed, and then they can sleep peacefully. When praying in the church in the morning, they must also be recited silently in their hearts.
This is something everyone is familiar with.
"There are thirteen commandments in the Church of Truth, which are the thirteen laws that bind slaves. They are only effective for the middle and lower classes, that is, the rules made for us. Only the nobles are not among these bonds. All slaves
Everyone must behave within these thirteen precepts, and must never violate them."
Ye Zhaoling thought for a while and recited: "First, moderation, don't eat enough, don't drink too much. Second, be silent, avoid chatting, words will be beneficial. Third, order, everything must be in its place, things must be done within a time limit. Fourth, determination.
, treat it as a must-do, and insist on completing it. Five, save, save money, and the money must be worthwhile. Six, be diligent, cherish time, and do useful things. Seven,
Honesty, sincere treatment of others, consistent with words and deeds. 8. Integrity, do more good deeds, do not harm others. 9. Moderation, tolerance first, do not go to extremes. 10. Neatness, neat clothes, clean residence. 11. Calmness, not afraid of danger, not alarmed by changes.
.Twelve, abstinence, control desires, self-cultivation. Thirteen, humility, imitate Jesus and Socrates.”
After Ye Zhaoling finished speaking, he didn't get a response for a long time. He couldn't help but tilt his head. He didn't know what Shirakawa Rensuke thought of.
After walking in silence for a while, he said lightly: "Elizabeth..."
"Um?"
"They gave Elizabeth the name of a habitual liar and ultimately did not listen to any of her excuses."
"He ignored all her words and tied her to a cross for seven days and seven nights on the charges of seducing men and being lewd. Later, she was dragged to the water prison of Rizhao Moon Prison."
"The end of a branch of the Moon River is the water prison of the Rizhao Moon Prison. I remember that one day the tide of the Moon River rose, and the water scalded Elizabeth to death in it."
"...Moon River." Ye Zhaoling shivered her arm subconsciously, and there was still a burn scar on her arm.
The water in Moon River is boiling water at at least 100 degrees, and it is said that 100 degrees is only its lowest water temperature.
It is like a line of emerald green lava flowing quietly on the surface.
Rensuke Shirakawa continued: "The gathering in the church is not to find the real murderer, let alone to collect evidence."
Ye Zhaoling nodded unconsciously.
"..."
"The truth doesn't matter to them."
"Elizabeth's case is never an exception. The only thing we can do is not to find the truth and find the real murderer——"
"It's about protecting yourself."
Ye Zhaoling fell silent, and the steady and lonely footsteps reached her ears. She could not feel the sound of wind at all, and everything was completely silent.
It was like they were the only two people left in the world, walking side by side.

Wu Meili put on her shoes and sprinted at a speed of 100 meters to catch up with the fat man who was running wildly with his face covered. She was panting from exhaustion. She never thought that the fat man of 300 pounds, Knife Butcher, could actually have a speed of 300 yards!
What a concept, 83 meters per second! If she hadn’t sprinted with all her strength! This guy would have run into the church in a few minutes!
Wu Meili grabbed the collar of the back of his neck, but as soon as she grabbed it, he was almost thrown away: "Alas! You, you, you - stop!"
She screamed, flew in the air for two seconds, and landed lightly: "Grass?!..."
She thought for a while, but still stopped her voice like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and did not dare to yell out loud. After all, the knife butcher is now a big trouble for her! It is best not to offend him again.
Wu Meili touched her golden curly hair, her smile was as strong as ever, and she said calmly and smoothly: "...a kind of plant."
The Knife Butcher rolled his eyes and didn't like to see her, and said in a cold tone: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"This is not the place to talk. Jin Dafu will be here soon. Let's go to the nearby woods to talk!" Wu Meili pulled him into the woods.
It is indeed a small forest.
The small shrubbery, which is no taller than a 1.5 meter primary school student, is overgrown with thorns. Even the grass cannot survive here because all the nutrients are robbed by the thorns.
Therefore, the ground in this small bush is bare, and except for low, undernourished shrubs and thorns, no other plants can be seen.
Both of them were tall and tall, and stood out among the bushes.
Wu Meili coughed, pulled the butcher's knife and knelt down.
So the two of them squatted in the bushes...
Five minutes later, Li Du opened the bushes and looked at the two horrified faces grimly: "Are you here to poop?"
The Knife Butcher was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and was speechless for a long time.
The frightened Wu Meili took off her high heels and almost raised her hand to give Li Du a sole massage on the spot.
Fortunately, the knife butcher stopped him quickly and shouted: "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! Sister, don't be impulsive! If you have something to say, please speak up!" He acted as if he was the one who was almost persecuted.
The knife butcher winked hard at Li Du.
"As for that?!" The latter was startled by Wu Meili's ferocious face and ran away without a trace.
Another five minutes later, Wu Meili and Dao Butcher squatted together, looking at each other. Both of them were speechless, and grass was almost growing on their heads.
Wu Meili, who had sharp ears, suddenly heard a whisper and stood up quickly. Sure enough! A small cart appeared in the distance, pushing a bucket as high as a hill. In front of the bucket was a fat figure struggling to pull the cart, moving step by step.
He was about the same size as the Knife Butcher, weighing about three hundred pounds. He was as fat as a mountain, but the cart he was pulling seemed to be more than twice his size.
How can the word "six" be so important!
Wu Meili had never been so moved before, and she rushed over.
Jin Dafu saw his flower-like sister rushing over, crawling on the ground, and quickly opened his arms, fearing that she would bump into the tree.
However, Wu Meili rushed over and hugged her——
Magic mirror in mid-air.
"Magic mirror! Magic mirror! You have done a great job this time! When I get back, I will find you a gold handle studded with big pink diamonds and put it on! Magic mirror! Magic mirror! You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket.
!”
The magic mirror sneered: "I don't know who wants to throw me into the septic tank... Humph!"
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I underestimated your value! My dear magic mirror!"
"Hmph! What a pretentious woman!" Magic Mirror raised her head arrogantly, "Remember to set a diamond! I want a big pink diamond! It must be pink! I want the pinkest diamond! Otherwise, you will never see me tomorrow!"
Wu Meili smiled from ear to ear: "Of course! Definitely!" Definitely next time.
Jin Dafu stood aside blankly, as if he had been petrified into a fat wooden stake, but the knife butcher walked over to him with bright eyes and gave him a bear hug.
"Good brother! I knew you wouldn't let me down!"
Jin Dafu glanced at the elated Knife Butcher aggrievedly, and then looked at his sister lovingly: "Oh! You have to hurry up and finish all these within five minutes - otherwise, others will find out that we are here
If you do this in private, it will be easy to expose the secret." Because they cannot lie to the nobles.
If someone pokes the ear of a noble, everything will be lost.
Here the knife butcher walked behind the big tree with the bucket, stuffing it into his mouth and saying vaguely: "I know! I know! It's hard to add a meal! Don't say any unlucky words! My good
Brother! You are really my brother! These are my favorite foods! I really saw the right person!"
Wu Meili glanced at him disdainfully, looked at her pretty face with the magic mirror, and was intoxicated with herself for a while before saying coldly: "After you finish eating, you have to abide by the agreement between us. How dare you violate it?"
The agreement has offended both me and my brother! You will have to figure it out then!"
Seeing the butcher eating his belly open, Wu Meili approached Jin Dafu and whispered: "I'm still worried..."
"What are you worried about? Sister, when we have settled his stomach, we have settled his mouth." Jin Dafu smiled on his Maitreya Buddha-like face, his gold teeth shining brightly, "With us in hand, it is a life-saving talisman.
! He won’t dare to talk. As long as he dares to speak, once the matter is exposed, he will be an accessory! He will suffer along with us! "
"Of course I'm not afraid of him!" Wu Meili rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't you worry about my brother's work? What I'm worried about is the church!"
"Ah? -" Jin Dafu showed a dull and honest smile, "Sister, what's wrong with the church? Aren't we all going to the church later?"
"Didn't a corpse be found in the church? Which family's slave the corpse is most likely to be! Tell me! What do these slaves do for food? Why don't they give people any peace of mind?!"
"Look at the slaves under me and the old swordsman! Neither one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp! The guy in front of me angered the nobles and was punished to pick manure in the pasture; I really didn't expect that the other one looked so
Unexpectedly, he is even more daring than the previous one! He even dares to kidnap other slaves for his own pleasure... Tell me! What kind of courage does this have?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk! This! You have to be a young man, and he only plays with flowers." Jin Dafu kept clicking his tongue, and sighed with his hands in his hands.
Wu Meili rolled her eyes at him again: "My dear brother! Are you not worried at all? Are the slaves in your own family as obedient as dogs? I don't believe it. I'm really worried.
, those two slaves don’t know what’s good and what’s good, and they caused us some trouble out of thin air!”
Wu Meili is outspoken, and now that she has reached this point, she has nothing to avoid.
Jin Dafu shook his head: "Oh! What can be done about this? We can't completely control the thoughts of slaves. After all, they are similar to us, they are all human beings! Human beings have various behaviors.
There are all kinds of ideas, but who can control them clearly? We are just ordinary people."
"Only nobles can restrain them..."
"Alas!" Wu Meili sighed, "Slaves are slaves! These slaves always cause trouble for us! They can't solve the troubles themselves! It will always become known to everyone! Ah! Why am I so miserable?
! If I were born a noble! I wouldn’t have to worry about these nonsense!”
"Alas!" Jin Dafu sighed together.
"If I were a noble, I would be happy every day now! Brother! Look at the wrinkles on my face! They are all caused by the anger of these low-class people!" Wu Meili stared at the magic mirror and said with a sad face.
"Alas!——" The two of them frowned.
"Hiccup!——" Butcher Knife came out with a loud belch, and the fat on his body shook a few times.
"Let's go! Let's go!" He greeted with a smile and his hands behind his back.
We had just had a hearty meal, and he was the happiest person present.
Seeing him like this, Wu Meili and Jin Dafu were even more heartbroken.
The magic mirror jumped up angrily!
Oh yes! And the magic mirror, it is far happier than the well-fed Knife Butcher!
Because it's not human...
Oh no, because it is about to get a handle set with pink diamonds~
