Chapter 413 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (21)
I saw the giant ancient tree, skillfully making the wooden house under the tree half-covered.If it wasn't for the steward's reminder, Mi Kaka and Qi Mu might not have noticed its existence.But the steward's solemn instructions only added a sense of mystery to it.The closer you get to the wooden house, the more mysterious force is attacking the hearts of Mi Kaka and Qi Mu.

They finally come face to face with it.

Even though the wooden house has been properly maintained and maintained all year round, due to the baptism of the years and the invasion of the sun and rain, the original color has gradually faded, leaving traces of peeling off over the years.

To enter the wooden house and explore the secrets in the wooden house, one must first open a huge lock hanging on the door leaf.And this whole pair of locks seems to be very delicate, and ordinary keys cannot be opened.The lock looks like a bowed lizard, and there are two lifelike lizards carved on the lock body, which are connected end to end, as if expressing some profound meaning.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka looked at each other.

At this moment, there was inexplicable tension and depression in the air.In the end, when Qi Mu stretched out his slender fingers and was about to touch the lock, a stern and cold reprimand suddenly came from behind him: "You can't go in, this is the place where the Lizard God lives. If you disturb the Lizard God, you will be punished." !"

Qi Mu and Mi Kaka trembled and turned around slowly.

Behind them stood a man who was nearly 50 years old.Time has left deep and shallow grooves on his serious and indifferent face, with a few strands of white silk emerging from his temples. He is wearing a well-made and well-tailored black suit.What is puzzling is that one of his hands is wearing a black glove, which tightly wraps the whole hand. Why is this?

Qi Mu narrowed his eyes, if he guessed correctly, it was a fake hand.

The black-gloved man carried a powerful aura of repelling others thousands of miles away. He seemed to have an aggressive aura, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Under such a strong aura, Mi Kaka was like a child who did something wrong, and answered honestly: "Oh, we are the famous detective invited by Ran Yuxuan."

"Name, Detective, Detective?" The man in black gloves, who was already feeling uncomfortable, now had a gloomy face, repeating these three words word by word.

The two sides began a strange stalemate.

at this time--

"Oh, why did you come here?" The housekeeper Lao Zhang hurried over from a distance.When he saw the black-gloved man, he bent his slightly hunched body 90 degrees, and pleaded piously to the black-gloved man: "I'm sorry, sir, I told them not to come here."

From Lao Zhang's respectful attitude, it can be seen that this black-gloved man is the owner of the lizard house——Ran Xiao.

And Ran Xiao's falcon-like eyes lingered on Qi Mu and Mi Kaka for a moment, and his tone was as cold as snow: "Are you detectives?"

The housekeeper, Lao Zhang, was a little stunned and surprised: "No, aren't you classmates who call themselves Miss?"

Mi Kaka scratched her head in embarrassment, and introduced herself with a smile: "We are Ran Yuxuan's classmates, and we are detectives in another layer."

Ran Xiao continued to ask in a cold tone: "So, you are here for the Lizard God?"

Mikaka nodded mechanically.

"Alas!" Ran Xiao sighed softly, seemingly displeased and helpless at her daughter calling in a famous detective: "That child Xiaoxuan..."

At this moment, a slender figure suddenly walked over from the old house.The sun streamed slowly on the edge of her white dress.

She is Ran Yuxuan.

It was probably the movement from the wooden house that alarmed her.When she came over and found Mikaka and Qi Mu, she was a little surprised.

"Hey, Mikaka, are you here? I thought you would arrive in another two days."

Mikaka blushed slightly, and explained embarrassingly: "After the final exam, we will come to check the situation in advance."

"Oh. So that's the case." Ran Yuxuan thought for a while before introducing to Ran Xiao beside her: "Father, this is Mi Kaka, a well-known detective from high school."

"Xiaoxuan, Dad is very happy that you invite your classmates to play at home." Ran Xiao said with a pleasant face in the first half of the sentence, but in the next second, his face seemed to change, and he said angrily: "But, you shouldn't let outsiders get involved in the Lizard God's affairs."

"Father, I believe Mikaka will break the curse of the Lizard God." Ran Yuxuan looked at her father with pleading eyes, hoping to get his approval.

Ran Xiao's face softened slightly.He put his hands on his daughter's shoulders, and his voice softened: "Xiaoxuan, don't go against the will of the Lizard God."

These words seemed to stimulate the depths of her heart.She shook her head vigorously, and shouted in extreme repulsion: "I don't want to be a lizard god! Never!"

"Xiaoxuan!" Ran Xiao's tone returned to coldness and sternness again. He stared at his daughter with a tense face: "Remember, you are the heir chosen by the Lizard God. This is not only your destiny, but also the Ran family's. destiny."

"But……"

Tears rolled in Ran Yuxuan's eyes, reflecting bright sadness.

"Stop talking."

Ran Xiao's expression darkened, and she issued an unquestionable order.Then he turned and stared at Mikaka.Those eyes were like a ray of cold light, which shot straight into the bottom of Mi Kaka's heart, and he couldn't help shivering, feeling the bone-chilling chill.

"Please go back, both of you. If you anger the Lizard God, it will bring disaster." Ran Xiao said.

Since the host has issued an order to evict the guest, the guest had no choice but to leave angrily.

Ran Yuxuan dejectedly led Mi Kaka and Qi Mu to the gate.Along the way, no one spoke.The atmosphere was rather awkward.When she got to the door, she apologized to them in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that Dad would be unhappy..."

Mikaka smiled helplessly: "It's okay, it's not your fault. It seems that your father is very jealous of the lizard god."

"The Lizard God is a god revered by all people in this land, and no one dares to offend easily."

In this regard, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka have a deep understanding.When asking for directions before, passers-by's expressions changed when they heard it, and they avoided it one after another. You can see how much the residents of Shawan Ancient Town are in awe of the Lizard God.

Ran Yuxuan pursed her lips, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you come here again on the coming-of-age ceremony day."

I can't find a better solution so far, that's all.

Qi Mu and Mi Kaka bid farewell to Ran Yuxuan, left the old house, and embarked on the road back to the ancient town.

There are still a few days until Ran Yuxuan's coming-of-age ceremony.How should I spend this time?Mi Kaka was also undecided, so he asked his partner Qi Mu.

"Brother Qi Mu, are we going home now?"

Qi Mu glanced sideways and said, "No. Let's not leave yet."

"But, what if there is news about the Dark Notes from the Criminal Master World?" Mikaka said.

"No. The Dark Note is here."

"how do you know?!"

Qi Mu turned his face away with a contemptuous expression. "Didn't you see Mr. Ran's right hand?"

"I see." Mikaka suddenly realized the meaning of Qi Mu's words, "Don't you suspect that he is the rich businessman with the dark note?"

You can't go wrong.The rich businessman with a prosthetic right hand, and the mysterious and weird legend of the lizard god, behind this, there is clearly the figure of the dark note.

Qi Mu looked around the quiet town in front of him, and then said: "Let's find a place to live. By the way, let's ask for clues about the Lizard God and the murder 18 years ago."

This is really good news for Mikaka.Because he was dragging heavy luggage, he was already tired like a pug.However, when he thought about what happened in the town just now, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost: "How to find out? People in the town heard the word Lizard God, so it would be good if they didn't throw us with a broom."

"Aren't you going to move here?" Qi Mu raised his finger and poked Mi Kaka's forehead unceremoniously, the meaning was self-evident: use your brain more!

"Tsk, don't poke someone's head, you will become stupid."

"Don't you know that in my mind, you have always been a silly rice?"

"..."

What the hell is silly rice? ! ! !
The pair of Huanxi friends chatted and chatted along the way, but they also forgot the fatigue of the journey.

back to town.They suddenly realized that there are hotels everywhere in this small town.In such an ordinary town, the number of hotels is quite unusual.

But Qi Mu said that there are many hotels, which shows that the tourism industry in this place is developed.

However, this place is a bit remote, how can it become a tourist hotspot?Moreover, there are almost no foreign tourists on the street, which makes Qi Mu's explanation somewhat illogical.Unless, what happened to this small town?

The two of them didn't delve too deeply into it, so they randomly chose a hotel and walked in.The innkeeper is sitting at the counter playing the computer game Doudizhu to pass the time.Seeing someone patronizing, he immediately got up and greeted him with a smile: "You two, are you staying at the hotel?"

Saiki glanced around, and Mikaka nodded in response.

The shop owner enthusiastically wanted to carry the luggage for Mi Kaka, and asked, "How long do you two want to stay?"

Mi Kaka counted the days, there are still two or three days before June 6th, and the newspaper said: "Then stay for two or three days first!"

"Okay!" The boss beamed with joy.

While preparing to take out his ID card, Mi Kaka asked casually, "By the way, boss, do you know the legend of the Lizard God?"

One second the boss greeted him with a smile, but the next second his complexion changed suddenly. He stared at the two of Mi Kaka with malicious eyes for half a moment, and then he couldn't help but throw the two of them out of the door together with their luggage, killing a person who was caught off guard. .

"Hey, boss, what are you doing?" Mi Kaka stepped forward angrily to argue with the boss.

The boss said coldly: "You are not welcome here."

Then, the store door closed with a "bang", ruthlessly rejecting them from the door.

What's the situation?Embarrassment was written all over Mikaka's face.He asked Qi Mu for help, but the other party stared at him: "You idiot, don't make me live on the street."

Mi Kaka was even more wronged than Dou E, and shouted: "But I didn't do anything!"
