Chapter 408 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (16)
The weather is nearly June, the temperature is gradually rising, and the air conditioner in the reception room has already been turned on at a suitable temperature.But at this moment, their eyes were already occupied by fear, their faces were pale, and the cold sweat from their foreheads flowed down their cheeks. A chill ran from head to toe, covering their whole bodies, and their bodies shivered involuntarily.They felt cold, hugged their bodies tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, can you turn up the temperature of the air conditioner?"

"Oh? Okay." After Yu Zhan raised the temperature of the air conditioner by a few degrees with the remote control, the temperature in the room increased significantly.

After a long time, the faces of the teenagers gradually eased a lot.Yu Zhan put away the photos and looked at the two teenagers in front of him: "Son, tell me what happened in detail."

The two teenagers exchanged glances, and after repeated evasion and hesitation, teenager A decided to tell Yu Zhan what happened last night.

Of course, they deliberately omitted the part of robbing the convenience store, and started directly from the culvert meeting the lizard god.After all, once such things as robbery are mentioned, it is estimated that the gate of the prison will be opened for them.

Recalling what happened last night, they were still afraid, and their eyes were fixed on the position of the door, as if it was hidden behind the door and could break in at any time.It can be seen that they are trying to control the fear in their hearts, their faces are a little pale, but their bodies are still shaking involuntarily, as if they are in the horror experience of last night again.

Thinking back to last night, after the call with boy C ended inexplicably, when they called back, no one answered.It was strange, but boy C had already said it was safe, so no one took it to heart.

So the two went to a nearby Internet cafe for a few hours.It wasn't until they stayed up late after playing games that they came out to the streets nearby that they heard that a murder had occurred.

The murder scene was right next to a large supermarket.They suddenly felt bad, because boy C had said before losing contact that he was next door to the supermarket.

Could it be... A chill came to their hearts, and they naturally suspected that the dead man was boy C, so they hid aside and peeked.Unexpectedly, he was caught by Yu Zhan and his assistant.

"Sir, this is what happened." After finishing speaking, boy A took a long breath, as if he had just finished a nightmare.He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

So the murderer is the lizard god? !

After listening to their explanation, Yu Zhan fell into deep thought: Judging from the death of the deceased, it was indeed very similar to the murder case 18 years ago.Moreover, there are eyewitnesses.Could it be that there really is a lizard god in this world?Yu Zhan has been in Shawan Ancient Town for several years, and he has heard the legend about the Lizard God many times from the residents, but he never thought that this would be true!
"Ah...Ah sir..." Boy A looked at Yu Zhan who was deep in thought, and interrupted embarrassedly.

"Huh?" Yu Zhan looked at him.

Boy A thought for a while, and then said with little confidence: "Speaking of which, that lizard god looks very strange..."

"How strange?" Yu Zhan asked curiously.

Boy A stammered out his doubts: "It...its face looks like a human..."

"Huh? Human?"

This was somewhat unexpected.He subconsciously thought that the Lizard God was a huge lizard, but the witnesses actually said that it looked like a human? !
"Are you reading it right?" Yu Zhan seemed to have caught the key point, and asked quickly.

Boy A spoke convincingly: "Really! If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Then, he pointed to boy B, seeking evidence from his companion.Boy B immediately echoed: "Sir, that's right, that's right. That lizard looks like a human!"

It turned out to be like this?Yu Zhan felt that it was necessary to draw the appearance of the lizard god, so he immediately ordered his assistant to find the police officer in charge of drawing the suspect's portrait from the forensic department.According to the description of the two teenagers, the portrait of the lizard god was completed soon.

"That's right! That's the man!" The teenagers pointed to the portrait and shouted.

Yu Zhan took the portrait and examined it carefully.This painting is a human profile, not only has the pattern of a lizard, but also looks more like a girl.Is the lizard god a maiden?he thought.Since ancient times, there have been many gods who have appeared in the form of women, such as Nuwa Empress, Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc. Therefore, it is reasonable for the lizard god to be a girl.

At this moment, boy A stood up awkwardly and said, "Sir, can we go?"

Yu Zhan stretched out his hand, waving his index finger non-stop, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made the two teenagers have an ominous premonition.He said, "No."

Boy A was very surprised: "Why? Haven't we already told everything we know?"

"It's like this." Yu Zhan set up a chair, sat down quite leisurely, looked at the two bewildered teenagers with a half-smile, and said slowly: "At 12:110 last night, the 7 line The center received a call to the police. There was a robbery at a 11-[-] convenience store on Tianhe East Road. There were three suspects. Although they were wearing masks, the surveillance video could not recognize their faces, but the clothes of the suspects... ..."

As he spoke, the corner of Yu Zhan's mouth parted, and he raised a wise smile that made criminals terrified.

He pointed to the clothes of the teenagers, and his smile was self-evident.

The three robbers last night were these three people.

"Hey! Sir, you can't frame people! We are good citizens who came back to help solve the case!" Boy A said so, but his face was already ashamed.He was still making a desperate sophistry: "It's just a coincidence that the clothes are the same. How can we say that we are robbers!"

"That's right!" Boy B echoed, trying to sound as righteous as possible.

However, Yu Zhan naturally has conclusive evidence.He smiled and said, "You said that the deceased was your friend, right?"

"Then... so what?" Boy A straightened his chest, trying not to be overwhelmed by the policeman's aura.

"You said that before you met the Lizard God, you were with him last night, right?"

"Yes...so what!"

"It's true." Yu Zhan patted his forehead, showing a dumbfounded expression, and stood up abruptly.This action made the teenagers take a step back in fright.Yu Zhan looked at them, "Don't you know that we found some banknotes on the body of the deceased? As long as there are fingerprints of the convenience store clerk on the banknotes, doesn't that mean that the money came from the convenience store?"

Having said that, the crime is already confirmed.

The teenagers suddenly lowered their heads like deflated balloons.

They can't deny it.

But at this moment, boy A and boy B gave each other a wink, trying to take advantage of people not paying attention, and quickly ran away through the door.Who would have thought that the skilled assistant had already seen through their intentions and rushed to the door in one stride.

"Ah da!" He flew up and kicked the door that the teenagers had just opened and closed it hard.

The two teenagers didn't dare to move anymore.I saw the assistant holding a nunchuck and posing in a domineering pose. If there is a disagreement, he can kick people a few meters away.

Now it fell down... The teenagers were all hopeless.

In the room of the Archives Section of the Public Security Bureau.

Dim lights weakly illuminate rows of dusty, orderly rows of shelves.The shadows vertically and horizontally across the ground, like divided spots of light.Yu Zhan walked slowly along the shelves, his eyes kept moving on the folders that filled the shelves.

The materials in the archives are arranged according to year.

If I remember correctly, the murder in Shawan Ancient Town happened 18 years ago.That is 1998.

Yu Zhan's footsteps stopped.On the shelf in front of me is the 1998 vintage label.

His fingers slid through the densely packed files, and soon he pulled out a yellowed file.

The cover of the file reads 1998, the murder of the lizard god.Location: Shawan Ancient Town.

In fact, he had seen the file in his hand many times before, and he knew it by heart.The ran family murder happened in the middle of the night. The dead included Mrs. Ran, obstetrician and gynecologist and nurses.The only survivor, Mr. Ran, also lost an arm in the attack.

In this case, the most bizarre thing is: Mr. Ran claimed that the murderer was a lizard god.

No one could prove what he said. Although the slime belonging to the lizard species was left at the scene, Yu Zhan didn't believe that there was such a creature as a lizard god at all.However, since the murderer cannot be found, the truth of the matter is always hidden in the fog, and no one can see clearly.

Unexpectedly, today, it appeared again!Yu Zhan rubbed his swollen temples, closed the file, and muttered to himself.He had heard the legend about the lizard god.If he remembered correctly, the legend of the Lizard God meant that if the descendants of the Ran family gave birth to a baby girl, then she would be the reincarnation of the Lizard God.Because of this, the massacre happened on the day the baby girl was born, which made people think of the legend of the lizard god.

Speaking of which, Yu Zhan suddenly remembered that according to her age, the baby girl should be born this year.He looked at his phone, and it showed that the calendar was June 6st, that is to say, there was only one week left before June 1th.

When Yu Zhan left the file room with this old file, he happened to meet the assistant who brought the teenagers to the juvenile delinquency department.Yu Zhan asked his assistant to distribute the portrait of the Lizard God, so that colleagues in other jurisdictions should pay more attention to whether there is such a suspect.

At this time, the assistant suddenly said: "Uncle Yu, I knew a very good guy before, maybe he can solve this case."

Yu Zhan knocked on his head, "Boy, are you doubting my ability?"

The assistant touched his head aggrievedly: "Don't dare."
