After amnesia, she became a real daughter of a wealthy family
Chapter 363 Chapter 363 The Trial Begins
At noon, Jewell was leisurely enjoying a small cake for afternoon tea when the door was knocked open.
He shook his hand, and the top of the cake collapsed.
"My cake!" His face turned ugly instantly.
He struggled for three hours during office hours in the morning, and finally decided on the jasmine black tea cake, which was destroyed by the hairy girl who broke in.
"Your Excellency, I think there is something wrong with the trial meeting tonight." Ophelia went straight to the point after entering the door.
Jewell rearranged the cream top slowly, "You mean the little girl who was brought back?"
"I think she may not be the murderer who killed the islanders. Someone is more suspicious."
She stated her thoughts, as if Jewell didn't care, she just lowered her head and fiddled with the expensive tea set on the table.
"Since you think someone is suspicious, why don't you look for evidence and come to me?" Jewell said in a cold voice, a little annoyed.
He was having a good afternoon tea and was interrupted just like that.
"But I think—"
"As I said, either investigate the evidence, or be honest." Jewell blasted people out with a cold face.
Seeing the door being closed, Ophelia lowered her head, at a loss.
In this case, if there is no evidence, His Excellency Jewell cannot be persuaded to take action.
As he said, she was going to find evidence to prove that Claude was suspicious.
Archives.
She searched for an entire hour, but couldn't find any information related to the witch's heart.
Just thinking about where to find new clues, she remembered the file that Claude said.
Werewolf file.
She was just watching this old case at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she might have a clue.
She rummaged through the bookshelf and finally found the file bag from that time.
Patting the dust off the bag, she opened it.
The file recorded the events before she woke up from the source crystal. She read it carefully, and when she saw the end, her eyes froze.
[In XX, guards members Vale, Claude, Philly, and Edmund drove people to the nearby Crescent Island. A fire broke out on the island. The murderer Martin Drake died in the fire, and the four were safe. return. ]
Claude was involved in this incident at the time, and after that, Val, Edmund, and Philly contracted a very serious disease and died one after another. Afterwards, although Claude was infected, he miraculously survived. down.
The diseases infected by the four were all reactions after contact with the murderer of the werewolf file. Most of the guards who hunted down the murderer before died of this disease.
And Claude is the only one who is safe and sound among all the contacts.
Ofelia just felt a chill down her spine.
That is to say, Claude may have something to do with the murderer...
She didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
It was already dusk outside, and the dim orange sunset came in through the window, and the sky was already cold.
Only then did Ophelia realize that so much time had passed.
It was too late to continue looking for evidence.
She stood up, touched the saber on her waist, and ran out of the file room.
Dinner was not dry and hard bread, but a bowl of sweet oatmeal.
Song Mo ate hastily, when she heard a noise outside the prison door, a group of young men and women wearing ordinary uniforms of the guards walked in, and dragged her out by the arm.
She knew she couldn't run away, but she wasn't too worried.
At this time, she chose to believe in Ophelia.
These guards took her to an open-air circular building at the foot of the mountain. There were lights burning around the building, and the islanders sat around the building. The old man with white hair and beard she had seen before was sitting in the middle.
All the people on the island have come, and the number of people has not yet occupied four-fifths of the seats in the entire building. It should be all the residents of the entire Western Peninsula.
This place looked like a combination of a court and an execution ground. The old man in the middle stared at her with icy blue eyes, and his attitude was not friendly.
"About the case of the islanders being killed on the island, you are a suspect. Now the case is being tried and you are allowed to defend yourself." Jewell sat in the middle and spoke slowly.
Claude stood aside, folded his arms, staring at Song Mo's face.
Even if Song Mo has three heads and six arms this time, he may not be able to solve it.
Just be a scapegoat obediently.
"I didn't kill those islanders. Besides, it's my first time to come to this island. If you are looking for a murderer, you are looking for the wrong person." Song Mo folded his arms and sat in the center of the chair prepared for the suspect. .
As it turned out, it was ridiculous for Claude to choose her as a scapegoat.
It would be too absurd to convict her based on a "witch's heart" who doesn't know the truth.
"Really? Then why didn't you show up when Ophelia was patrolling?" Claude asked aloud.
"Ah, I was sleeping in the cabin at that time. Is your rule that you can't sleep when you are under inspection? It's a bit too unreasonable." Song Mo had innocent doubts on his face.
"Then you should also get up and accept our inspection."
"I'm going to the Eastern Peninsula and pass through that sea area. Does your garrison even manage the affairs of the Eastern Peninsula?" Song Mo crossed his legs and had a bad attitude.
"That's also a routine inspection for the safety of the island." Claude's expression seemed a little annoyed, but he restrained himself from attacking.
Since he wants to shift the blame to Song Mo, the more arrogant she is, the more dissatisfaction she causes, the more beneficial it will be for him.
Just when he was thinking about how to throw the blame on Song Mo, a clear female voice came from the door.
"Really? But I think the problem is not her, but you!"
Ophelia strode in front of the crowd and stood in front of Song Mo.
"Ophelia, what are you doing?" Claude suddenly became uneasy when he saw someone coming.
With Ophelia's personality, appearing at this moment is likely to mess up the situation.
The woman in front of her just stated with a serious face, "I said, she can't be the murderer at all, but someone wants to put the blame on her!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
When they saw Song Mo, a little girl with a good face, they felt that she was unlikely to be the murderer, but now they heard what Ophelia said, and they also felt that there was something wrong with it.
Everyone knows about Ophelia's character. She is straightforward and doesn't seem like she would lie to help outsiders.
From this point of view, the murderer who killed the islanders was on the island, and he was planning to put the crime on an ordinary little girl outside the island.
Jewell sat in the middle, staring at Song Mo with icy blue eyes, and tapped on the table lightly.
Although flustered in his heart, Claude didn't dare to show any doubts, he just said calmly, "Since you say that, who is the murderer?"
After being asked, Ophelia turned her voice cold, "Because you are the one who killed the islanders."
What she believes in is justice, and she will never show any affection for people she knows well.
He shook his hand, and the top of the cake collapsed.
"My cake!" His face turned ugly instantly.
He struggled for three hours during office hours in the morning, and finally decided on the jasmine black tea cake, which was destroyed by the hairy girl who broke in.
