Chapter 424 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (32)
"Hmm. Yes." From the looks of it, Sister Hua probably didn't see the appearance of the Lizard God.But she said, "I see it."

"What?"

Sister Hua said, "Master Lizard God. I and other servants saw it that night."

"Really?"

"However, we're not sure."

Sister Hua said that they were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by screams.Everyone got up from the bed, not knowing what happened, and stood by the window of the dormitory building to see what happened.At that moment—they clearly saw a figure appearing at the gate of the Lizard Temple.It was very strange, like a ghost, it paused at the door for a moment, and suddenly got into the temple.Sister Hua and the others were thrilled to see this scene.Because, everyone knows that the Lizard Temple cannot be invaded by outsiders.If that black shadow wasn't Lord Lizard God, who would it be?

"Is the black shadow still holding a baby in his hand?" Qi Mu's words made Sister Hua's eyes widen like copper bells.

"You... how do you know?" She felt incredible, as if Qi Mu was there at the time.

In fact, Qi Mu just connected the words of the old grandma with the information revealed by Sister Hua.That is to say, what the old man and Sister Hua and the maids saw was the same scene: the lizard god appeared at the gate of the temple with a baby in his arms.

"And then what?" Saiki continued to ask.

Sister Hua said that she and other maids hid in the dormitory building because they were afraid, so they hurriedly called the police.Later, two policemen from the town rushed over, and they dared to go out to check the situation.Afterwards, they discovered how horrific the murder that happened at Ran's house was.

As if the terrifying scene reappeared in her mind, the temperature of Sister Hua's hands and feet kept dropping, as if falling into a deep well.That memory is the Pandora's box she buried at the bottom of the river of time, and it is still shocking to open it again after many years.That was the most touching scene she had ever seen in her life: "It's terrible...it's really terrible." Sister Hua wanted to describe it, but in the end she was at a loss for words, leaving a huge chill in her body that continued to spread.She turned pale and dared not speak any more.

Even if she couldn't say it, Qi Mu could still imagine the bloody scene at that time.The police will definitely record these on-site situations.The question is, who is the figure that appeared in the Lizard Temple?The criminal's intuition told Qi Mu that this person must be the key to solving the case.

Most likely, it is the murderer.

Thinking of this, Qi Mu asked: "Sister Hua, as far as we know, a mysterious man in white clothes appeared in Ran's house during that period. Do you remember?"

"The man in white?" When this was mentioned suddenly, Sister Hua was also a little dazed.She frowned and recalled for a moment, and suddenly remembered: "Oh! There is indeed such a person! But, would he have something to do with this incident? Six months before the accident, he didn't show up anymore."

From the tone of voice, she should know the origin of that person.

"Who is he?!" Mikaka asked hurriedly.

"he is the one……"

Just when Sister Hua was about to tell the truth, but at this moment——

"Shua!", the door of the hotel opened.

Sister Hua's words stopped abruptly, and her eyes moved to the door.At this time, several uninvited guests appeared outside the door.

"It's you?!" Mikaka looked at the visitor, both happy and surprised.

It turned out that these people were none other than Xie Xiuzhe, Gu Yingliang and Ding Lihan.

"Why are you here?" Mikaka asked.

Gu Yingliang put the luggage in her hand on the ground, and explained: "Xiaoxuan invited me to attend the coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, and said that you will stay in this hotel."

"That's right. But, Teacher Xie and Ding Lihan..." Mi Kaka was deeply surprised by the appearance of these two people.No matter how you look at it, these two people have nothing to do with the Lizard God.

"Oh. Because I have long heard that the scenery here is beautiful, and I want to take this opportunity to sketch." Xie Xiuzhe made such an explanation, which is quite reasonable.As an amateur painter, hiking and sketching is common.What's more, the buildings in Shawan Ancient Town are antique and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant. It has always been a good place for artists to linger.

And what about Ding Lihan?With a shy face and the appearance of being in love, he hesitated before he could say: "I'm... worried about Xiaoxuan."

It turns out that he likes Ran Yuxuan.Just as Mikaka was thinking, another figure appeared at the door.And this person made Mi Kaka even more astonished and couldn't close his mouth.

"You... you... why are you here too?!" He pointed at the other party, as if he had seen a ghost.

Who is this man?Isn't it Lin Shan, the second-generation rich man in Beijing?

Lin Shan coughed twice, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, with an elegant smile on her pale face, "Good morning, Mikaka. Long time no see, how are you?"

This man was as polite as ever, but also as sickly as ever. It really made one worry that he might cough to death suddenly.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Mi Kaka said a few words before thinking of the main topic: "Hey, you haven't said why you came here?"

Lin Shan is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Because I am very interested in the Lizard God, I ask Gu Yingliang to bring me along. You don't mind, do you? Cough cough."

"I don't mind..." Mi Kaka always felt that this person was a bit strange.

Shouldn't the rich second generation all be idlers, playing games in the world?Why is this Lin Shan interested in such strange cases as the Lizard God?
The psychology of rich people is really hard to figure out.

"That..." At this moment, Sister Hua finally interjected, "Do you guys want to stay at the hotel?"

"Hmm. Yes." Xie Xiuzhe asked, "Is there any room left?"

"Yes. Are there four?" Sister Hua counted the number of people, but Lin Shan said that he doesn't live here.Therefore, there are only three people staying in this hotel.

Just as Sister Hua was about to help them carry their luggage, at this moment, a figure walked by the road outside the door.It was wearing a strange black robe and a bamboo hat, its steps were light and light, and its body was like a puff of green smoke.She stared at the weirdo.The gazes of the others moved involuntarily.

"This person is really strange..." Gu Yingliang muttered.

"It's a strange girl in a bamboo hat." Mi Kaka told them that this woman was a witch invited by Ran's family.

Everyone's eyes drifted away with the figure of the strange girl in the bamboo hat.Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, Sister Hua let go of her hand like an electric shock, and half of the luggage she mentioned suddenly fell to the ground.Her originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Sister Hua, what's wrong with you? You look a little ugly." Mi Kaka noticed that her expression was abnormal.

Sister Hua wiped the sweat from her forehead, and apologized to the people present: "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to rest first. Mikaka, please help me to say hello." disappeared around the corner.

Mi Kaka and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.And from the corner of Qi Mu's eyes, he was still watching the direction where Sister Hua left.

She's acting weird.he thinks.

Because, she hasn't revealed the identity of the mysterious man in white and asked for a reward of 10 yuan!

He is back.

Sister Hua locked herself in the room, walking back and forth as if on pins and needles.

He is back!

Sister Hua kept repeating this terrible thought in her mind.Her heart was under heavy pressure like Mount Tai.Every breath she took became labored.After so many years, how could he come back suddenly?Could it be that he came back because of the Lizard God?What is the relationship between him and the lizard god?Looking back, it was really strange that he disappeared mysteriously that year before the murder.

Maybe he is the murderer!Didn't the famous young detective suspect him just now?
If this is the case, does he have an ulterior purpose in returning to his hometown now?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Sister Hua felt.The 'he' she was thinking of was the man in white back then.

After being so anxious for a long time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Yes... who is it?" She asked tremblingly.

"it's me."

Listen to the voice, it's Mikaka.

Sister Hua opened the door, and she saw him and Qi Mu standing outside the door.

"Sister Hua, are you okay? Your face is a bit ugly." Mi Kaka asked with concern.

"Really..." Sister Hua touched her cheek, only to feel that it was very cold, like the skin of a dead person, "Maybe I have a cold." As she said, a chill came over her body as if cooperating, and she shivered slightly.

"What's the matter with you?" she asked.

"Oh. That's right. You haven't told us about the man in white." Mikaka said.

"Well..." Sister Hua lowered her head and hesitated.Should he reveal the identity of that person?If he really came back to this town for the lizard god, then there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do crazy things.The more Sister Hua thought about it, the more disturbed she became. She felt that if she wanted to stop that person, she had to reveal his true identity.Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head firmly, and when she was about to tell Mikaka and the others the truth—

"Clang!"

Suddenly there was the sound of something falling on the ground in the corridor.

At first glance, it turned out that it was Xie Xiuzhe who had just returned from the hot spring, and was looking at the door of the hotel in astonishment.The washbasin in his hand fell to the ground and was still rolling.

what happened?
Mi Kaka and Qi Mu couldn't help running over to take a look, only to see a figure running away from the road.The night quickly concealed its outline.

who is it?

"It's that weird woman wearing a bamboo hat." Xie Xiuzhe said while picking up the washbasin, "I was shocked."

In the middle of the night, why did the strange girl in the bamboo hat appear here?

This woman, from the very beginning, gave people an impenetrable sense of mystery.

Just thinking about it, I heard another swish.Sister Hua behind her actually closed the door.After Mikaka knocked on the door, she pleaded that she was ill, and we will talk about it in detail tomorrow.

Sister Hua's behavior became more and more weird.Qi Mu always felt that she was afraid of something, was it because of the appearance of the strange girl in the bamboo hat?
