Reasoning Notes

Chapter 368 Reasoning Notes 8: Legend of the Pharaoh (18)
After Ding Dong's doorbell rang, Cheng Yuhao appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" He looked at the two teenagers in front of him inexplicably.

Is it a reader fan?But how did they find it here?Besides, one of the teenagers with an idol-like face but a cold expression doesn't look like a groupie at all.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng. We are campus detectives." The assistant next to the idol group spoke, and Mi Kaka showed Cheng Yuhao a friendly smile without additives. "We came here specifically to ask you about the murder of the Egyptian pharaoh."

"None of my business!"

Mikaka's smiling face was slapped flat by the closed door.Didn't I do anything wrong... He covered his face and squatted on the ground, one of his loose front teeth was shaking, he was so wronged that he wanted to cry.To express his sympathy, Qi Mu stroked his hair and smoothed it.

Hey, be my cat!

Who knows, soon, the door opened again.

"Wow! Don't hit me!" Mikaka hid behind Qi Mu fearfully.But Cheng Yuhao greeted him enthusiastically: "I was really rude and rude just now. Welcome."

This 180-degree change in attitude is too sudden.

Mikaka is really overwhelmed.The reason why Cheng Yuhao changed his attitude was because the moment he closed the door, he suddenly thought of why these two teenagers knew that he had something to do with the Pharaoh murder case?
Wait... That boy seems to be... Cheng Yuhao often pays attention to the Internet, and immediately remembered the relevant reports on Mi Kaka.From Joker to the recent Three Kingdoms Murder Case, Mikaka has been in the limelight. It is said on the Internet that this is a rare detective genius once in a thousand years, even more than Japan's Kindaichi Conan.

Maybe he can help.

It was with this thought that Cheng Yuhao changed his original intention of rejecting others.

"Ahh! You are that famous campus detective. It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Since ancient times, heroes have produced teenagers!"

"Uh, this... is actually not very famous." Mikaka blushed from the praise, and scratched her head in embarrassment.Looking at Qi Mu again, his face was full of contempt again.

One day, I will despise you in turn!Unconvinced, Mikaka snorted.

This humming finally knocked out that trembling front tooth...

This villa is clean and secluded, the house number is No. 44, Cheng Yuhao just bought it not long ago, and some furniture has not yet torn off the plastic film.Choosing to hide here is the best policy.

Will Pharaoh find it here?
"Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. Mikaka, your front teeth... are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Mikaka, who was missing a front tooth and looked very funny, silently put the heroically sacrificed tooth back into his pocket.Using an old song by Lin Zhiying to describe his current mood is particularly appropriate-"Why, I am always the one who gets hurt? What did I do wrong?"

I just touched the pharaoh's spear, and I have been unlucky until now. Doesn't that curse have a shelf life?

"It's fine."

The perpetrator, Cheng Yuhao, took a piece of Tieguanyin tea from the tea bag with peace of mind, put it in the blue and white porcelain teapot, then picked up the kettle, and poured boiling water along the inner edge of the teapot mouth.The action of brewing tea is like calligraphy, taking no time to rush and doing it in one go.A scent of tea wafted into the air.

And the action of pouring tea is also very particular.

Keep the teapot as close to the cup as possible to prevent the heat from escaping.At the same time, the low pour does not foam up or make a ticking sound.Judging by his posture, this Cheng Yuhao is a person who is proficient in tea ceremony.While making tea, he noticed another icy young man who was walking with Mikaka—he had an indifferent and forbearing face, and his pure black pupils were like the cold and sharp light of a knife, which was terrifying and admirable.This kind of temperament is like a lonely and ruthless killer in martial arts novels.

who is he?What's the relationship with Mikaka?Cheng Yuhao still has another question, that is, the boy and Mi Kaka have always kept a distance.The relationship between the two of them is not that close.

A pair of strange partners... Cheng Yuhao came to such a conclusion.

He handed the tea to Qi Mu, and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, is this classmate...?"

Qi Mu only slightly lowered his high chin, glanced coldly, and did not answer.Cheng Yuhao read disdain and contempt from those eyes, as if all living beings were under him.Qi Mu ignored the hot cup of tea, did not drink it, but observed the room like an eagle eye.

Is this guy dumb... Cheng Yuhao suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and handed another cup of tea to Mi Kaka.

"This is my classmate named Qi Mu." Mikaka is still very competent as a bridge between Qi Mu and the outside world.

"Oh." To be honest, Cheng Yuhao hated this cruel boy very much.

He also decided to remove Saiki from his sight, and only stared at Mikaka and said. "You came to me because of the pharaoh's murder?"

"Yes." Mikaka nodded.

"Then what did you find? Can you tell me?"

"Of course." Mikaka was about to say, "It's a long story," when Qi Mu interrupted.

"We can tell you what we know, but you also have to tell me what you know. It's an exchange."

This guy can actually talk.Cheng Yuhao was almost deceived by Qi Mu who was always silent, he thought for a while and nodded in agreement.So Mikaka acted as the narrator and told the ins and outs of the whole thing, which made his mouth drool dry.

"Now, Mr. Cheng, can you tell us about what happened back then?" Mi Kaka had time to drink a cup of tea and breathe slowly.

After listening to the other party's narration, Cheng Yuhao leaned on the sofa in shock, looking up from a distance, as if he saw the desert 30 years ago again through the exquisitely decorated ceiling in the villa...

"Go back. I won't tell."

Such a sentence blinded Mikaka who was about to listen.Cheng Yuhao stood up, as if to invite guests out.

"Hey, we agreed to exchange."

The treacherous bastard!Mikaka was really angry.And Qi Mu was obviously also angry, although he didn't show it, but he slowly raised his arm.An anesthetic needle, ready to go.

Do you want to learn Dongfang Bubai again to put embroidery needles?Mikaka quickly made a stop gesture.

You have to wait for him to finish asking the question before putting the needle.Mi Kaka asked, "Teacher Cheng, do you know who owns the Golden Book?"

"How would I know where this terrible thing is?" Cheng Yuhao's voice trembled slightly.That memory, in his heart, was like a chronic poison that would devour people. As long as the Golden Book was mentioned, his mood would be very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was hatred or fear.

"I advise you not to think about it, it's because of opening the golden book that Pharaoh..." The words choked in his throat, Cheng Yuhao clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white. "We escaped with great difficulty. Do you know how terrifying it is? Ten of us, and in the end there were only a few of us. Because of this, I will not let you get involved. Anyone who is targeted by the Pharaoh's curse will not It will end well."

It sounds like he has worked hard.

"You may know something." Suddenly, Qi Mu's voice cut in. "Before he died, Li Yunong said that four people came back, not five. How do you understand this sentence?"

"Ah? Four people?" Cheng Yuhao was stunned suddenly, and the expression he looked at Qi Mu was filled with "Are you kidding me?".

"This is impossible!" He recalled earnestly with his fingers: "Look, Li Yunong, Gong Wenjun, I... there are two behind me... clearly five people!" He spread his hands and looked at Saiki.

"Then who are the remaining two people?"

This is what Qi Mu really wants to know.

"Yes……"

Cheng Yuhao's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

Do not share the information with anyone!A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of my heart.He was silent for a moment, and finally avoided Qi Mu's eyes.Qi Mu had expected that the other party would keep his mouth shut, "I have one last question." He took out the group photo from his pocket. "Who is this person?" His finger pointed to the head that was blackened by cigarette butts.

is it? !Staring at the unrecognizable head portrait, Cheng Yuhao's heart flashed with surprise, but his face remained calm.

"This is not one of the five people, it has already died in the tomb of the pharaoh." Cheng Yuhao's lie was flawless, but it couldn't escape Qi Mu's eyes.He knew what was in his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions, and led Mi Kaka to the door without looking back.

The twilight is all together, and the sky spreads out a quiet and sweet color.

"He's lying." On the road in the villa area illuminated by the setting sun, Qi Mu suddenly turned his head, half of his face was burning with the sunset glow, and he said, "That man must be alive."

"How do you know?" Mikaka was puzzled.

"This is the intuition of a criminal." The cold light seemed to refract from his retina.

"But why did he lie? We should keep asking."

Qi Mu shook his head.When a person is about to lie, you keep asking and you will only get more lies.To expose a lie, you just need to wait quietly.

Exactly as I estimated, that person was Pharaoh.

Standing by the window of the villa's study room, Cheng Yuhao stood behind the curtains that were blown away by the wind, looking deeply at the backs of the two teenagers leaving, and then took out the photo many years ago from his pocket, with stern eyes.

He was thinking that he seemed to have made a mistake—he thought that both Li Yunong and Gong Wenjun died under the curse of Pharaoh.But when he received a call from Xiaomeng, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—what if the Pharaoh was a human being this time?And the target this person has to deal with is the five surviving people.Although the murderer's purpose is unknown, his identity is most likely Xiao Meng.

Because, it is asking for his address.
