Reasoning Notes

Chapter 384 Reasoning Notes 8: Legend of the Pharaoh (34)
However, he was self-indulgent.Qi Mu turned around, looking high above his head, looking back at the ward where Lu Qiuhong was.

"He knows the criminal master." Qi Mu recalled Lu Qiuhong's evasive gaze just now.The average person will show a certain degree of confusion when they hear a criminal.After all, this profession is too unfamiliar to ordinary people.On the other hand, Lu Qiuhong seemed to know the existence of people like criminal masters. Although there was no disturbance on the surface, his eyes revealed complicated emotions - panic, fear, escape... All these showed that he was hiding something.

"It is very likely that he knows who the criminal master in the expedition was."

"How do you know?" Meng Jin asked first.

Qi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly: "His eyes betrayed him."

"Eyes can betray people?" This sentence made Meng Jin very interesting, "Brother Mi, let me see your eyes." After speaking, he grabbed Mi Kaka's head and stared at his eyes.Except for a few traces of overflowing foolishness and tiny eye gums, nothing was found.

It's just that the two looked at each other for a long time, and they became a little affectionate...

The sky was getting dark, and a faint shadow of the moon was flowing in the sky.

The hospital was silent. In Ward No. 16, that figure sat alone for a long time.

Another sleepless night.Fragments of the past kept flashing in my mind.My heart was slowly tightened like a twist.All feelings are covered up by pain.

My wife, my daughter...the most important person in my life will never come back.

Lu Qiuhong wiped away his tears and carefully removed the bed board.The golden book is hidden inside.

He's left with it.It is the only reason to support him to live.

"Don't be afraid, we will never be apart!"

He touched it in awe, with the gentle movement of his large rough hand, as carefully as a monk rubbing a statue of a Buddha.

Suddenly, a worm landed on the page.

At that moment, the blood on his face disappeared like an ebbing tide, leaving only paleness.Lu Qiuhong stared tremblingly at the bug that appeared like a messenger of death.It has armor-like wings, slightly glowing with bronze light, it looks so magical.

This kind of bug, Lu Qiuhong couldn't be more familiar with it - the scarab!

This is the sacred object in the pharaoh's tomb. For thousands of years, it has been devoutly guarding the pharaoh's body.It appears here, only means one thing - Pharaoh is coming!
At this moment, a faint voice came from the depths of the corridor - tuk tuk!

Like a scepter hitting the ground, getting closer.Frightened, Lu Qiuhong turned his head slowly, his mechanical movements and bandaged body were like a voodoo doll, lifeless.Only the blue veins on his head were throbbing all over his body.

It's it, it's coming to me!

At this time, the pale light in the corridor reflected a strange figure. It was bandaged all over, holding a spear, and the golden mask on its face shone.The nurse in the duty room was lying on the table, motionless, and several scarabs flew away from her.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Pharaoh walked slowly towards the door of Lu Qiuhong's ward, and finally stopped.The door creaked open.

The quiet moonlight slanted through the open windows, and the curtains were blown by the wind.

It got angry and knocked the spear to the ground.

The house was empty, and it came a step too late, so Lu Qiuhong jumped out of the window and escaped.

It was afternoon, and there were few shades of trees on the quiet street.

The silhouettes of the branches stay against the light on the frosted glass window.

In the quiet room, the sound of chalk writing echoed rustlingly.Qi Mu was writing vigorously on the small blackboard. He squeezed the chalk in his hand tightly, and it broke because of too much force.He continued to write on the blackboard with the leftover chalk, listing all the information about the pharaoh's murder case.

A group photo of the expedition was posted on the blackboard.

There were two other people in the room.

One is the well-known Mikaka.He sat in a chair, looked at the information written by Qi Mu on the small blackboard and entered the thinking mode.

The other is Meng Jin.He was lowering his head to deal with the unhealed wound, but his eyes looked at the small blackboard from time to time, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

After finishing writing, Qi Mu left the small blackboard, stood a little far away alone, stared at the relationship diagrams and mysteries he listed, and began to clear his mind.What can be determined at present is that the identity of the pharaoh is related to the expedition team of that year.The only survivors in the expedition team were Meng Jin and Lu Qiuhong.Could it be that one of them was a pharaoh?
To solve the mystery, perhaps it is necessary to solve the mystery of the two numbers.

—Who was that person who didn't go into the Pharaoh's tomb?

——Who is that person who is not in the picture?

Suddenly, Qi Mu turned his head, his cat-like warm obsidian pupils stared at Meng Jin who was on the sofa with bandages.

He asked: "Uncle, do you know what Li Yunong said?"

Meng Jin shook his head without thinking. "Qi Mu also asked the same question, I really don't know."

But he lied, he knew it, but he didn't say it.Because he promised Li Yunong to keep the secret.That night in the museum, Li Yunong confessed with tears: "I am ashamed of Professor Xia Mingliang for not completing what he entrusted to me."

This matter should have nothing to do with the case.Meng Jin just kept his mouth shut because of this consideration.

Qi Mu seemed a little disappointed, but then he thought of something and said, "Maybe, we can check the list."

"What list?" Mikaka asked.

Qi Mu said: "The list of the expedition team. Such expeditions and archaeological operations usually leave archives and records. As long as you find that list, you may be able to solve the mystery of the number of people."

"However, our expedition team only has ten people."

"Not necessarily." Qi Mu said: "It's been 30 years, and your memory may have missed something. I always feel that something is missing in this photo."

All eyes are on the pictures on the blackboard.

Every face in the photo stays forever in that passing time.

No.13 Pharaoh's Advent

Where can I find this list?
Meng Jin did not hide. The expedition 30 years ago was organized by Professor Xia Mingliang.As a young man, he signed up because he saw a job advertisement in a newspaper.It is said that the expedition team was sponsored by Professor Xia's university, so they could make up enough funds for the activity.

That university is Sun Yat-Sen University where Li Anna is currently working.

"Qi Mu asked, can you help us to go to the school to check the files tomorrow?"

Li Anna was finishing dinner and walking in the nearby streets when she received Mikaka's call.

"No problem, I'll tell the teacher in the file room."

Li Anna promised to help with this.She wanted to ask more about the progress of the case, but after thinking about it, she decided that it would not be too late to talk about it when they met tomorrow.After hanging up the phone, she stayed in the square next to the street for a while.The square is very lively, and the aunts are dancing square dances with great joy. The cheerful and brisk melody of "Little Apple" can never dispel the haze in her heart.

Where did dad go?
Li Anna was worried.If he is still alive and the murderer, should I persuade him to turn himself in?

She thought a lot, and before she knew it, the people in the square gradually disappeared.When her thoughts returned to reality, she looked up and saw only a lonely light left in the square.Every street in the city seeps into endless darkness.She got up and went home, and walked alone on the street at night, surrounded by silence, with the dim street lamps above her head, making her extremely bleak.

After walking for a while, it was near home. Li Anna suddenly became a little scared and quickened her pace.

Just then, a man with bandages all over his body appeared...

"Hi, your call is currently unanswered."

The next day, the three Qi Mu who arrived as promised did not wait for Li Anna at the gate of the university.They waited for a long time, but no one answered her phone.

"Is there going to be an accident?" Mikaka expressed concern.

Qi Mu didn't make a sound.He believes that the pharaoh attacked Leanna before because he was afraid that her DNA would destroy its tricks, but now that its tricks have been seen through, it has no motive to be against Lianna anymore.

Perhaps, her lateness was just their unfounded worries.

They decided to check the files first.Fortunately, Li Anna had already notified her about this matter in advance.They went to Building D where the archives were located.While waiting for the elevator to walk in on the first floor, the elevator door next door opened, and a man passed them by.Qi Mu's gaze couldn't help being drawn to him, and he saw that the man looked ordinary. He was about 30 to 40 years old, wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses. From the outside, he looked like an ordinary office worker.

However, Qi Mu's eyes followed the man closely until the elevator door closed.

"What happened to that man?" Mikaka asked.He noticed that Qi Mu seemed to be very concerned about the man with glasses.

"No. Nothing."

Qi Mu replied.Indeed, there was nothing wrong with the man with glasses.It's just that when the man with glasses passed the elevator door just now, he glanced at Qi Mu intentionally or unintentionally.Qi Mu felt that the other party's eyes were unusual.He had a vague premonition in his heart.

When they came to the archives room, the teacher on duty was a little surprised to see them coming.

"You were introduced by Miss Li?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" Mikaka asked.

"But, someone came here just now. He also said that Miss Li introduced him..."

Qi Mu immediately thought of the man he met just now.

"No way. Is someone pretending to be us?" Mikaka said in surprise. "We are the real ones!"

Fortunately, he saved the call records with Li Anna in his mobile phone, so the teacher on duty believed that the three of them were Miss Li's real friends.

"But who was that person just now?" Mi Kaka couldn't think of the identity of that person.

Qi Mu's face became slightly stern, he thought, maybe that person is Mr. Qian.

A thousand-faced monster thief.Are you really following this case?

And the file that the impostor had messed up just now was on the desktop, and I didn't have time to tidy it up.This saves them a lot of effort.

"Here, I found the files of the expedition team!"
