Chapter 262 The Deadly and Invisible Hand
"Uncle Li, the new great elder asked me to get the population registration book. Please bring it to me quickly!" Li Yunkai's assistant A Luo strode to the archive room in the woods west of the conference hall, speaking loudly while pushing the door and walking inside.
A foul smell of blood hit him in the face. Luo looked at the messy archive room and the hideous corpse hanging from the beam. He howled like a man, fell to the ground with a thud, and crawled out, "Ah... a dead person!"
The meeting room in the archives room was not far away. Ye Li and others were in the meeting room and immediately heard the sound. They came out to the platform and wanted to look at the woods to the west, but the leaves were too dense and they could not see the specific situation over there.
Li Yuan walked down the stairs and shouted, "Go over and see what's going on."
Ye Li pulled Xiao Xun and said, "Let's go and take a look too."
"Okay." Xiao Xun and the others arrived at the scene. When they saw the crime scene in the archives room, they were all shocked beyond words.
The room was in a mess, clearly after a fight, but a body was hanging on the beam. It was obvious that someone wanted to pretend that Uncle Li had committed suicide, but there was not enough time to tidy up the room.
Li Yunkai said beside Ye Li, "Uncle Li in the archives is a relative of the deceased Great Elder. When Uncle Li was young, his leg was bitten by a zombie, and fortunately, it was amputated in time to save his life. He has been unable to do anything else since then. Fortunately, he can read a few words, so the late Great Elder asked him to organize and guard the tribal manuals in the archives. Unexpectedly, someone would actually kill him."
Ye Li looked around, seeing only trustworthy people. She asked, "Was it the Second Elder who did it?"
If it was really done by the Second Elder, then she had underestimated the Second Elder's viciousness. In order to attack her, he even did not hesitate to cause a death!
Everyone was speechless. At this moment, only the Second Elder was the most suspicious!
"The population registration book is missing." Li Yuan and his men searched the messy archive room, but did not find the population registration book.
"Then we won't be able to know the population situation in the tribe." Ye Li frowned.
Li Yunkai said: "We can only register again."
"That's the only way." Ye Li said, "Uncle Yun, I'll leave this matter to you. You're a native of the tribe and grew up here, so you must be very familiar with the people in the tribe."
"Okay, leave this matter to me." Li Yunkai agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle Sang, please continue to follow up on the farm matters."
Li Sangtian nodded: "No problem."
The archives room was handed over to Li Yuan.
Ye Li got down from the tree house and went home with her ten-person guard team. She had to have people protect Xiaomu and Xixi. If the murderer wanted to harm her, her children would definitely be the first to be implicated.
"Ye Li." Xiao Xun caught up with Ye Li and said, "I'll go back with you. Please have someone make a place for me to sleep. I'll sleep downstairs in your house. Even with guards, I still feel uneasy."
Ye Li glanced at him, considered it carefully, and nodded, "Okay."
Ye Li and Xiao Xun left together.
Qi Yuanchuan, Bai Ze, Xu Lao and others also came down from the archive room and saw Xiao Xun and Ye Li leaving in a hurry.
Bai Ze glanced at Qi Yuanchuan and said gloatingly, "Oh, it seems Xiao Xun has taken the lead again, tsk tsk..."
Qi Yuanchuan looked at Bai Ze expressionlessly, then strode in the opposite direction of Ye Li and the others.
"Haha..." Bai Ze laughed wantonly. He seemed to be talking to Mr. Xu standing next to him, or perhaps he was talking to himself: "This place is really interesting. There's a deadly and invisible hand hiding behind it. One day, it might just grab your neck and no matter how you struggle, it will be useless."
Mr. Xu glanced at him and said, "You're crazy!"
