Chapter 426 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (34)
The moment the person turned around, the old grandma had disappeared into the crowd.

Why did the Lizard God kill Sister Hua?
Unless, it was to prevent Sister Hua from revealing the secret about the man in white.When Mi Kaka was thinking, suddenly, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.

Looking down, the little boy appeared next to him again.He raised his innocent head: "Brother, grandma told you to go see her."

Mikaka and Qi Mu couldn't help but look at each other.

The old grandma suddenly looked for them, did she have new clues?

With this in mind, the two followed the little boy and left the hot spring hotel.The small town in the morning is sunny at this time, the weeds on the roadside are slightly swaying, and everything is peaceful.It's just that Sister Hua's death made all the beauty lose its luster.After walking for a certain distance, the little boy turned around with a mysterious expression, and whispered a little secret to them: "My grandma just said that she knew who the man in white was back then."

"Really?" Mikaka's eyes lit up.

"Of course!" The little boy had a proud expression on his face, as well as a bit of innocence: "Hmph, my grandma said, this is a super big secret! So I can't tell it until you go."

This is an important clue!

Saiki and Mikaka quickened their pace.They followed the little boy to the other side of the street step by step.Grandma's house is just around the corner.I saw the bluestone road leading to the gate with red couplets.In front of the half-closed door, a rosewood rocking chair swayed gently, with a dragon head and a cane leaning on the side.

The old grandma sat on the rocking chair, her eyelids were lightly closed, she looked very peaceful, as if she was in a deep sleep.

"Grandma, I brought someone!" The little boy yelled loudly as he walked over.

But the grandma didn't seem to hear, and ignored him.

"Grandma!" the little boy called again.

She still didn't open her eyes, she was still sitting there, except for her pale hair fluttering in the wind, but she always maintained a frozen posture, like a statue.

An ominous premonition rose in Qi Mu's heart in vain.

No way……

At this time, the little boy had already run to the grandmother's side.At a young age, he doesn't know the importance of life, nor the impermanence of life.He hugged the old grandma's waist, blinking his big clear eyes: "Grandma, I brought him back!"

The old grandma still kept her eyes closed, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised seemed to express her appreciation for the little boy.

But she no longer speaks.

Qi Mu walked over quickly.He found that the old grandma's body was already cold, and there was no breath at the tip of her nose.

She's dead, never to wake again, to tell stories kindly, to give any clues.

Qi Mu's heart was dark.Even though the criminal master had seen too many deaths, at this moment, there was still a sour feeling in his eyes.He felt sad and wanted to cry, not only because the clues were broken, but more because of the sadness as if he had lost a loved one.

"Old... grandma..." Mi Kaka choked up softly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Did the Lizard God do it?" he asked.

"No." Qi Mu replied softly, "It's just the end of life."

Human life is like a wind-up alarm clock.

Tick-tick-tick-

Until the power is exhausted and the mainspring stops, the hour hand will stay at that moment forever.

"Grandma, you answer me!"

The little boy coquettishly rubbed his grandmother's body and talked to her.The young man didn't know how to feel sad, he didn't realize this terrible fact, he just pouted and complained: "Grandma, why are you ignoring me!"

Mi Kaka stepped forward to hold him, holding back her choked voice: "Hey, don't disturb your grandma. She is sleeping."

"is it?"

Hearing this, the little boy seemed to be really afraid of disturbing grandma's rest, so he didn't dare to make any more noise.

Mikaka coaxed him: "Is this okay? Let's go buy ice cream first, and then come back to play with grandma after eating."

The little boy nodded and followed Mikaka away.After walking away, he reluctantly turned his head to look at the figure of grandma.The old grandma's head was tilted slightly, and her silver-white hair was blowing in the wind, as if watching her beloved grandson off.

Goodbye, child.Grandma is gone, you have to be obedient.do you know?

This farewell is eternity.

Qi Mu hit 120.Soon, an ambulance arrived.

The medical staff carried the grandmother's body on a stretcher and transported it away.Qi Mu stood alone on the street, his straight body like an arbor in the wind.He quietly watched the car slowly disappear around the corner.

He is very preoccupied.

The old grandma had passed away, just before she planned to reveal the identity of the man in white.

And who is that white-clothed man?

This is a heavy secret that has cost two lives.

Chapter [-] The Lizard in the Cage
"Grandma? Grandma!"

The little boy who came back called for his grandmother.In his pocket were many colored candies, and in his hand was ice cream, which had melted in the sun and dripped to the ground.He ran all the way back, just wanting grandma to try this new flavor of ice cream.

However, grandma is not there.

Where has she gone?

In front of the empty door, the rocking chair was empty, only Qi Mu stood in place.The little boy ran into the house and searched around, but he still couldn't find the grandma.

"Where's my grandma?" he asked.

"Your grandma has gone far away." Qi Mu said.

"how far?"

"It's far, far away."

Half understanding, the little boy sat quietly on the steps. "Then I'll wait here for grandma to come back."

He held the ice cream that was about to melt in his hand, and his face was surprisingly firm and expectant.He looked up at the street entrance, as if waiting for that hunched figure to appear.But, he didn't know that the old grandma would never come back again.

Seeing his thin and stubborn figure, Mikaka felt a little sadness in his heart.

Qi Mu's call came from beside his ear: "Let's go back."

"But, what about this kid? His grandma..."

"Don't worry. I've informed his parents. He'll be fine."

Alas, the dead are gone, leaving eternal memory to the living.Although Mi Kaka was very sad, she could only leave with Qi Mu.Behind him, the little boy still maintained a posture of anticipation, waiting for his grandma's return.

This restless morning has passed most of the time.

The sun shone warmly on the town, trying to dry all the sorrows with its own temperature.

When the two returned to their residence with heavy steps, Gu Yingliang and others were already standing at the door waiting outside the hotel.And that rich second-generation Lin Shan was also among them.There was also a black Rolls-Royce parked behind the door, glowing in the sun.

There are quite a lot of people.After asking, I found out that just now Ran Yuxuan called and invited them to go to Ran's house for a small gathering.

"Do you want to go together?" Gu Yingliang asked.

How could you leave the two of them behind?
"Of course." Mikaka said.

So, a group of people got into the luxury car of Lin Shan's family and headed towards the lizard house.Thanks to the fact that the car is spacious enough, it is more than enough for the six of them to sit.In the car, they naturally talked about Sister Hua's death.And this topic was first brought up by Lin Shan.He seems to be getting more and more interested in murder.And Mikaka originally wanted to join the discussion, but shut up under the hint of Qi Mu's eyes.Therefore, the topic of the case was a bit rambling, and not long after that, the destination was reached.

The Lizard House appeared in front of my eyes.

"This house looks pretty good." Lin Shan said as soon as he got out of the car, sounding like a real estate agent who is careful about budgeting.He might be thinking about buying this house as a vacation villa.

At this time, the iron door of Lizard House opened.

The housekeeper, Lao Zhang, has already come out to greet him in advance.He looked at this group of people with a surprised expression on his face: "Huh? Miss only said that three people were invited, why are there six of you?"

Gu Yingliang explained to him that these were all friends who accompanied him.The housekeeper, Lao Zhang, didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he quickly called Ran Yuxuan to ask for her opinion before allowing them to come in.Lin Shan's driver was left waiting outside the door.

This is the second time that Mikaka and Qimu have entered this house.They followed the butler to the gate of the mansion with ease, while the others were like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, admiring the scenery in the garden as they walked.Soon, Lin Shan found a wooden house far away from the edge of the woods.

It maintains its usual mystery, hidden in the shade of the summer trees.

"What's that place?" he asked.

"It's the Lizard Temple." Mikaka explained, "You can't go past that place. Otherwise, you will be scolded."

He still remembers being scolded bloody by Ran Xiao that day.

"Lizard Temple? Huh, interesting."

It seems that this lizard temple has aroused Lin Shan's interest again.

And Ran Yuxuan had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"You are welcome," she said politely.Today she put on a white sleeveless skirt, the soft gauze drapes down between her calves, and she sways gently when she walks, pure and beautiful like a lotus flower out of water.

Such a fresh and refined Ran Yuxuan seemed to be a different person from when she was in school.Mikaka had to admit that this girl was really beautiful.She inherited her mother's appearance, and grew up in a wealthy family. Her words and deeds are decent and generous, and her whole body exudes a gorgeous and aristocratic atmosphere.

"Xiaoxuan, you seem to be different." Gu Yingliang looked at her friend with a strange feeling.Even Ding Lihan stared at her intently, showing nostalgia for her.

"Maybe I'm dressed too grandly." Ran Yuxuan smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, her cheeks flushed two spots: "Dad taught me since I was a child, not to lose my bearing in front of guests."

It sounds like the Ran family's family education is very strict.This is probably the rules and regulations of rich people.

"Wouldn't it be a problem for us to come here like this?"

Mikaka was slightly worried.Although the group of people did not come uninvited, their visit would have become very embarrassing without the consent of the host, Ran Xiao.
