Chapter 39 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (39)
After the body was carried away, Edison sat on the plank bed and fell into a long meditation.The light pulled long and narrow shadows around "his" eye sockets, and complex mysteries collided with each other in his mind full of thoughts.

There are too many things I can't figure out: how did the evil spirit escape and kill people?And, why did he run back?
According to the forensic examination, the evil spirit committed suicide.This is even more strange. Those who escaped went back to the prison to commit suicide, which is absolutely against common sense.Most people will run away, even if they want to die, they don't need to go back to the cell.Unless he was dying to complete the final piece of the ruse.

Edison raised his head in distress, and the space where the corpse was suspended just now passed through a large area of ​​bright light.There seemed to be an illusion of a corpse floating in front of his eyes. The evil spirit lowered his head, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed tightly.Suddenly, his eyes opened suddenly, and the corners of his mouth lightly grinned, revealing a treacherous smile.

"How about it, big detective? Have you solved the last trick I prepared for you? Hehehehe..."

The complicated and confusing mystery seemed to gradually form a lump in his chest, and Edison felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, which could not be restored for a long time.

How to dismantle the evil ghost's last trick?

"Hey! It's time to go back..." I said to Edison.

It was getting late, I only ate a foreign fast food at KFC during the toss from morning to five o'clock in the afternoon, and now my stomach started to protest.

"I'm not going back!" Edison suddenly broke his heart and lay down on the plank bed.

"What? Do you want to live in a cell?"

"That's right! I just want to live here. Only by staying in the same place with the evil spirit can I figure out how he escaped!"

It makes sense, but... I'm embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter how long you stay. What about the girl in your body? If she wakes up suddenly, she will definitely cry!"

"Don't worry, I'll just stay one night and come out tomorrow."

His resolute tone seemed to indicate that he would not let go of this trick until he solved it, and I had nothing to say.

Under the arrangement of Uncle Meng Jin, Edison was able to spend the night in the cell where he had died.

Early the next morning, I went to the detention center. As soon as I entered, I heard Xia Zaoan crying loudly.

"Help me! I didn't do anything bad, did you arrest the wrong person? Although I picked up a dime and didn't hand it over to the police... At most, can I make up the money now? Why no one responded! Okay Well, I admit that last time the old woman selling pancakes at the gate of the school gave me an extra dollar, but this is not considered a crime of theft... at most it is the last time..."

It sounds like this girl is really "full of evil"!

"Ah! You are the friend of that high school girl!" The police officer sitting behind the desk was ecstatic when he saw me, and couldn't wait to take off the two balls of cotton stuffed in his ears. Take away your friends, you will be crying and howling all day long, think of me as a slaughterhouse!"

I could understand his pain, and quickly brought Xia Zaoan out of the detention center, holding the note I picked up in the prison just now.

That should have been written by Edison before he fainted.

Of the devil's last trick, he writes - The Impossible Crime.

It's finally summer.The sun fills the world, and the greenery melts in the wind, bringing the shade of midsummer.

The evil spirits will no longer appear, and the city has a rare peace.

As for Edison, she hasn't woken up since solving the case.I don't know if it's because the last mystery has not been solved, so I don't want to wake up.But I believe that he will eventually wake up again and tell me the answer.

I strode in the sun.Suddenly, there was a voice calling for father and mother from behind.Looking back, Xia Zaoan ran towards me like a crazy woman.

"Wow! I'm going to kill someone!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" I was frightened by her madness and took a few steps back.

She ran up, stared at me angrily and asked, "Did you solve Zhong Xintong's case?!"

"I...not me!"

"Who is that?!" She asked loudly with hatred.

"It's a man named Edison. By the way, why are you asking that?"

"That guy! That bastard named Edison cut off my money!"

"Ah? What's going on?" Monk Zhang Er was really confused.

Xia Zao'an's expression was so miserable that she wanted to cry: "Whoa, the two vests I put up for sale online..."

"Ha, has it risen to 10 yuan?!"

"One hundred thousand for your size! It's worthless now!" Xia Zao'an gritted her teeth, burning with anger, "Zhong Xintong has been reviled by thousands of people! Her signature vest is upside down and no one wants it! My 10 yuan is all It was Edison! If he didn't solve the case, Zhong Xintong would continue to be her big star, and my vest can be sold for a good price!"

"I... I can only express my deepest sympathy."

Xia Zaoan grabbed my chest: "Tell me, where is that bastard Edison now? I'm going to kill him!!"

"Well... I'm afraid you can't do it."

"What do you mean?"

Can you tell her that Edison is herself?Otherwise, she will face the sky and kill herself.

I had no choice but to say: "Edison has gone to a far away place, and it may take a long time before he comes back."

"Damn! Assuming he escapes quickly, otherwise, I will definitely beat him into a pig's head!"

After Xia Zao'an said it angrily, she suddenly thought of something, and then put on a courteous smile, shook my arm, and said sweetly, "Brother Mi, can I ask you one thing?"

Seeing her like this, I had goosebumps all over my body: "What...what's the matter?"

"For the sake of getting to know each other, I'll sell my two vests to you at a loss."

"Wow!" I screamed, "I don't have 10 yuan!"

"You don't need 10 yuan! Just [-] yuan!"

"Not even fifty thousand!" I said as I ran away.

Xia Zao'an chased after him relentlessly, and bargained with me: "[-] is fine!"

"no!"

"1 yuan will do the head office!"

"I have no money! I'm poor! I'm not a rich second generation, I'm a poor second generation!"

"Hey! The lowest buy-your-own price is 5000 yuan! If you don't buy it, there will be no boat ride after Suzhou!"

I didn't bother to care about her, and walked quickly to the school gate.There, I accidentally met Qiao Qi.She was holding a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, and she was standing at the door to greet us.The girl was wearing a hat, and her face was pale, as if recovering from a serious illness.

I looked at the girl who seemed familiar and asked, "Who is this?"

Qiao Qi fondled the girl's head and said, "This is Qiu Ziming's younger sister."

"Ah!" I looked at the girl and suddenly felt sour in my heart.

"By the way, isn't she sick?" Xia Zaoan, who caught up with her, asked first.

Qiao Qi smiled: "It has been cured."

I asked, "Is the medical bill settled? I heard that the police recovered the 50 stolen money."

"Yes." Qiao Qi nodded, "However, there is a kind person who donated enough medical expenses."

"Ah!" I couldn't help being a little moved, "Who is so generous?"

"I don't know. That person didn't leave a name, but...he left a playing card with a queen of hearts."

"What? Heart Q?!" I screamed.

This can't help me to connect the square 9 playing card of the devil.There will be no relationship between the two, will they?

While I was still in a daze, Xia Zaoan also said with emotion: "Wow! There are still such generous people in this world! The medical expenses will cost hundreds of thousands, right?"

As soon as Xia Zaoan finished speaking, I taunted me: "You think everyone is as stingy as you!"

She immediately rolled her eyes at me: "You are the one who is generous! You are the only one who is generous! Well, hurry up and buy my vest!"

"I said I have no money!" I speeded up and started to run.But classmate Xia Zao'an followed behind with a stern face.

"3000 yuan is fine. Think about it, it has Zhong Xintong's signature on it!"

"Oh! It's a big sale! 2000 yuan! 2000 yuan!"

How I wish the Edison in her would wake up at this moment.

Extra: The Mystery of Heikui A

The night was filled with darkness, and the room was pitch black. The moonlight tore through thin gaps and illuminated a small area.There was a faint, cold and damp smell all around.

A figure was hidden in the corner, and the silhouette was submerged in the darkness.

Edison sat upright, staring at the small piece of moonlight in front of him, every line of his face was silent.Above his line of sight, there was a hemp rope hanging quietly in the still night.The open noose seemed to be devouring it with the bloody mouth of a wild beast.The silent depression engulfed him slowly and suffocatingly.

This is the cell where Xiong Yi staged his last trick.

Edison still remembers that when he arrived, Xiong Yi had already died of anger.The corpse was at an angle against the light, and death spread in the pupils.

"Did you see it? This is the last challenge of the evil spirit! Even you can't solve it!" The voice of the evil spirit seemed to be floating in nothingness for a long time.

Edison clenched his fists.He had to admit that the evil spirit had accomplished a perfect crime with his own death.

How did the evil spirit escape from the cell, kill Zhong Xintong, and then return to the cell?
Was it the guarding police of the detention center who lied and let him out secretly?It seems unlikely.Edison and Uncle Meng Jin had interrogated him in detail, and there was nothing suspicious about the police in the detention center.Moreover, there are surveillance cameras outside the detention center, and the video shows no sign of the ghost leaving or returning.

So, the evil spirit didn't leave the detention center?

If so, how did he kill Zhong Xintong?

"What if he has an accomplice?"

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence of the cell.Edison turned his head immediately, and he saw a figure standing outside the cell.

"who are you?"
