Chapter 306 Hidden Clues
Chapter 306 Hidden Clues
Accompanied by her younger brother, the young female came to the room of Uncle Zhen who had taken care of them.
Seeing that the door was closed, she went forward and knocked on the door, "Uncle Zhen, are you there?"
There was no sound from the door for a long time, but the originally bright room suddenly became dark.
A sound similar to gnawing came from inside, and the two siblings couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs when they heard it.
"Sister, something seems wrong."
How could Uncle Zhen turn the moonstone over before eating it? Could there be something strange mixed in it?
Hearing this, the young female bit her lip and looked towards the door with a look of worry in her eyes.
Uncle Zhen is still inside.
But her brother pulled her back and said, "Sister, let's go."
Go find the patrol team from Baihu City. If something really sneaks in and Uncle Zhen has an accident, what can they do with just the two of them?
Just as the two siblings hurriedly left, the door seemed to be pushed open from the inside, but after the door opened, no figure appeared.
Through the light reflected from the bluestone floor in the yard, you can see that the room is in a mess, and there seems to be some bloodstains on the ground.
……
Yu He felt that she was forced to be involved in a murder case, and she happened to be the orc involved in the trial, and she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.
Looking at the mess in Uncle Zhen's room, the large pool of blood, and the things that looked like bones and hair in the corner.
Yu He grabbed the arm of the male next to her, fearing that she would faint in the next second.
In her previous life, she didn't even dare to watch suspense dramas, but in this life, she not only has to watch them, but also has to look for clues.
"Ah He, if you don't want to watch, don't watch."
Bai Lan looked at the female whose face had turned pale with fear, his tone full of helplessness.
The current scene is not as terrifying as the scene after they were hunting and fighting with high-level monsters.
But his female was obviously too timid and was frightened just by seeing a little blood.
If Yu He knew what he was thinking, she would definitely ask, "Is she afraid of the blood, the bones, and the hair?"
Neither. She was clearly afraid of the scene she imagined, where Uncle Zhen was being eaten by something.
That was an orc like her, but he died like this.
Can she not be afraid?
Bai Lan hugged the female's waist, covered her eyes, and walked out with Yu He without paying any attention to the situation at the scene.
When it comes to analyzing situations and checking the scene for clues, the orcs on patrol are more experienced than the females themselves.
If Ah He hadn't said he wanted to come and take a look, and told him with a serious look on his face that he was there, she wouldn't be afraid no matter what happened here.
Why would Bai Lan bring her here?
"This orc died last night. Didn't the orcs on patrol notice anything unusual?"
Yu He leaned in Bai Lan's arms, and by absorbing the male's warmth, it took a while for her frightened heart to return to normal beat.
The cause of the death of Nazo and the orcs who came with him has not yet been figured out, and now this orc from the small tribe is in trouble again.
Isn't this adding insult to injury for them?
Bai Lan thought about what he had found out, rubbed Yu He's head, and said, "He may not be dead. Maybe he was just taken away through some means."
Yu He raised his head and frowned, "Why do you say that?"
He didn't tell her what happened.
She was already so caught up in this matter that she had already suffered from insomnia during her lunch break, and it turned out that he had some clues that he was hiding from her.
Bai Lan looked at the female's angry expression, lowered his head and kissed her head, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, it's just that there are many unclear points in the investigation that I haven't figured out yet. But today..."
A hint of thought flashed across his face as he said, "We should be able to get some key clues from some orcs today."
Yu He was confused and asked, "Who?"
But soon she followed Bai Lan's gaze and saw two young orcs, who looked like a brother and sister. When they looked at the door behind them, their faces were more or less sad, and there was fear of the unknown.
However, when their gazes turned to Bai Lan and Yu He, the two siblings' eyes showed a bit more hope and dependence.
Especially the elder sister. If her brother hadn't held her back, she would have run towards them right now.
Bai Lan's voice sounded coldly, "What's the matter?"
Yu He grabbed the male's collar with her fingers, as if she realized something.
Could it be that what he just said was the orcs from this small tribe?
Yu He tried hard to recall what she had heard and what clues she had obtained in the past few days.
Finally, her eyes fell on the young female who was jogging over. From beginning to end, all they heard were the words of the orcs of this small tribe.
So, is it possible that the orcs of this small tribe are lying to them, or hiding some important truth from them?
"Master Bai, Master He, is Uncle Zhen really dead? Those things in the room don't belong to Uncle Zhen, right?"
The young female's face was filled with sadness, and her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "Uncle Zhen has always had a good temper in our tribe. It is thanks to Uncle Zhen that we were able to escape to White Tiger City this time.
But how could he..."
The young female covered her face and squatted down crying. When her brother saw her like this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at Bai Lan and the others cautiously.
"I'm sorry, sister. She was just too sad. She didn't mean to disturb Master Bai and Master He..."
"So he was the one who saved Nazo as well?"
Bai Lan suddenly asked a question.
The young female was immersed in sadness and acted as if she didn't hear it.
His younger brother was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Uncle Zhen's animal form is a bear, and he can adapt well to the cold weather. That's why Uncle Zhen was on guard that day, and he found Na Zuo covered in blood in the morning."
He didn't understand why Young Master Bai asked this.
An unlikely thought flashed through Yu He's mind. Could it be that Uncle Zhen was the only orc who saved Na Zuo at that time?
"After you discovered Na Zuo, were you immediately attacked by the orcs who were chasing Na Zuo? Or did Uncle Zhen tell you that there were orcs chasing you from behind?"
Yu He's question made Bai Lan's eyes flash with a smile.
Ah He finally reacted, but it was not her fault, as she really did not ask the orcs in person.
And her father knew that this matter was related to the orcs in the tribe, so in order not to alert the enemy, he naturally would not tell her more.
So Yu He missed the suspicious point.
"Master He, what are you doubting?"
The young female revealed a tear-stained face, "Not long after Uncle Zhen rescued Na Zuo, our team was caught up by a White Tiger Orc. He asked us to hand Na Zuo over, but Uncle Zhen didn't.
Later, an orc named Zhen Shu stopped them and they escaped from him at the cost of their lives.
When he finally came back, he was covered in blood.
In order to protect us, Uncle Zhen and Uncle Ping asked us not to tell you directly."
Do they have to say that they saw with their own eyes the beastman's body chasing them in the wind and snow just to take Nazo's life?
What if they say it’s slander?
They just want to avoid trouble.
"You said he risked his life to escape from that White Tiger Orc. What about his injuries?"
Bai Lan's words seemed to be about something that even siblings were confused about, and they looked at each other.
Finally, the younger brother gritted his teeth and said, "Green crystal, Uncle Zhen must have used green crystal."
In fact, the brother and sister didn't know whether Uncle Zhen was injured or not, but at that time Uncle Zhen did return to them covered in blood and with a tired face.
At that time, they thought that if Uncle Zhen stopped the White Tiger Orc, he would definitely die at the hands of the orc.
Unexpectedly, when they got lost on the way to escape, Uncle Zhen miraculously came back.
And the next day he took them to Baihu City.
At that time, they were all in a panic, thinking that Uncle Zhen might have green crystals on him, and did not think much about it. But now it seems that Uncle Zhen was really injured at that time?
If he wasn't injured, where did the blood on his body come from?
The more the younger brother thought about it, the more frightened he became. If Bai Lan and Yu He were not here, he would have dragged his sister up and asked Uncle Ping and Uncle Zhen what they had done that day.
