"what!!!"

Heart-wrenching screams rang out, and blood spilled on the ground like a bunch of scarlet roses.

Covering his pierced calf, Morris's expression was distorted by pain, and his nose and tears were streaming.

boom!

There was another gunshot.

This time it was Xiawolei who fired the shot...

I saw a pitch-black bullet shot out from the muzzle of the gun, propelled by gunpowder.

He knocked the gun out of Veronica's hand.

Bending over and covering the base of her right hand, which had been paralyzed by the impact, Veronica looked up.

What he saw was the black muzzle of the rifle in Xia Wole's hand.

"Veronica, you're under arrest!"

Morris was still screaming: "Kill her! Why didn't you kill her! Didn't you see she shot me!!"

"Are you guys in the special patrol team just here to eat and do nothing?"

"Shut up!" Xiawolei turned around and warned Morris: "You are also under arrest, Morris!"

A pocket watch pendant was thrown out, and it landed with a crisp sound, and the cover of the pocket watch pendant popped open, revealing a picture of a young noble man and a young woman dressed as a maid.

"This... this is impossible, this is impossible, this thing should have already..."

Morris' eyes widened, and the surprise as if he had seen a ghost made him forget the pain caused by the bullet piercing his calf for a moment.

By the time Morris came to his senses, it was too late. He had confessed his crime.

Xia Wulei put away the gun: "It should have been what? Was it destroyed by the killer you hired?"

"You do know this, Morris. I now formally arrest you for the murder of Elisa!"

So much happened in just a few minutes that Paimon's brain couldn't process it all.

Why were Veronika and Chavore pointing guns at each other?

Why did Veronica shoot Morris?

"What...exactly happened?"

He only began to explain after Xia Wole notified the special patrol team members who were arranged nearby to take control of the scene.

"Paimon, Veronica is the real murderer of the [Gun Murder Case] ​​we are looking for."

"And the reason she shot Morris..."

Having said this, Xia Wulei paused for a moment.

He asked Morris, who had already had his wound treated with the help of the special patrol team members.

"Well, Morris, are you interested in telling me about what happened twenty years ago?"

"Don't force me to take you to the interrogation room for questioning. The evidence is irrefutable now. I bet you won't last a minute in there! Confess and I'll give you leniency..."

After his expression changed for a while, Morris sighed and admitted, "I hired someone to kill Elisa."

Twenty years ago, Morris was a rich young man and Elisa was a maid in his house.

Elisa was very beautiful, and over time, Morris fell in love with her.

Without telling his family, Morris and her fell in love for a while.

But... not long after, Elisa became pregnant.

If this matter was discovered by Morris's parents, there is no doubt that Morris would be kicked out of the house and deprived of all his property.

What Morris didn't expect was that Elisa insisted on giving birth to the child and asked Morris to run away with her.

Of course, Morris would never agree to give up his life in Youwo and live a hard life with Elisa. How could that be possible?

After giving Elisa some money, Morris asked her to leave the house and not give birth to the child.

"Elisa thinks you really love her." Xiawolei had a blank expression on her face, and her eyes looked at Morris with more and more contempt.

"...I have no choice!" Morris said excitedly.

I thought the matter was over, but a few years later, Elisa sent Morris a letter with pictures of the two children in it, and hoped that Morris would come and see them if he had time.

"Even if Elisa didn't listen to you and gave birth to the child, you could have just not responded. Why did you have to hire someone to kill her?" Xia Wulei spoke again.

Morris spoke confidently, with a hint of tears in his voice.

"I was about to marry a rich girl. If anyone found out, the rest of my life would be ruined! I had no choice!"

"...It's not that you don't have a choice, it's that you made the wrong choice again." Xia Wole didn't want to say anything more.

"Scumbag! Do you know what it feels like to watch your mother being murdered right in front of you..." After hearing Morris's self-serving excuses, which were actually all based on his own interests...

Veronica desperately tried to break free from the restraints of the special patrol team members, wishing she could strangle the scum in front of her to death on the spot!

"My brother and I, two kids who were barely old enough to remember, hid under the floorboards, not daring to even breathe."

"I only dared to crawl out the night after my mother died. By then, she had already turned cold and stiff."

After hearing this, Ye Yu finally understood what he had missed when investigating the [Gun Murder Case].

It was during the filming at the Debo Hotel that Veronica gave me that hug.

At first, Ye Yu thought Veronica just missed her mother...

Now it seems that it was the true feelings expressed after personal experience. Ye Yu modified the script to make Yingying closer to reality, and inadvertently restored the reality covered by the romanticism of the novel.

Perhaps at that moment, Veronica really regarded Ye Yu as her dead mother.

"Veronica..." Paimon put his hand on his chest, not knowing what to say.

Linghua and Xiaogong also had complicated expressions.

Finina even clamored that she would personally uphold justice for Veronica in court!

Night talk is more direct.

"Death penalty recommended! Repeated execution."

For such a scumbag, the death penalty is too lenient for him.

Veronica heard this and looked at Xiawolei.

"Ms. Xiawolei, you also know what this scumbag did."

"Are you going to tell me that you would rather this scumbag spend the rest of his life in Mellow Petersburg than let me shoot him?"

"I don't believe that after you finished filming Yingying and learned the truth, you didn't even have a trace of resonance!"

After a moment of hesitation and silence, Xia Wulei spoke.

"I'll be honest with you, Veronica. After your brother came clean and confessed his guilt, I considered putting a bullet in Morris's head."

After arresting Veronica's brother Baptiste, the author of "The Two Musketeers", Chavore combined the investigation results with Yeyu and others.

I vaguely guessed the truth and made an investigation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to show up in time to stop Veronica from shooting Morris.

"...Then why?" Veronica was puzzled.

Since Xiawolei had already thought of this, why did he come out to stop her!

Killing for life is justified.

Isn't it the duty of the special patrol team to let this scumbag be buried with his mother and make the truth public?
