Chapter 439 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (47)
In the evening, Mr. Zhang, a housekeeper with a first-class chef certificate, prepared delicious western food for everyone - fresh grilled steak with pasta, served with Italian red wine baked escargot, French foie gras, fruit wood roasted suckling pig, fresh vegetable salad with cream mushroom soup.Exquisite food is placed on the table, exuding a pleasant aroma.However, facing the table full of delicacies, everyone felt uneasy and had no appetite.On the one hand, they are eagerly waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.On the other hand, they are worried that the person behind the scenes will take advantage of this time to resort to terrible plots.

The danger that happened on the edge of the cliff at noon today is just a warning before the storm.

"Something's going to happen tonight."

After dinner, Yu Zhan stood by the window, smoking a cigarette while frowning, with a very serious tone.

Standing beside him, Li Xiaochong couldn't help asking: "Uncle Yu, why did you say that?"

Yu Zhan looked at him: "Don't you understand? That guy must have plotted to trap us here. In short, we have to wake up tonight." After speaking, his eyes shifted to sitting at the dining table On the strange girl in the bamboo hat over there.This woman exuded an indescribably strange aura.

Night fell.The full moon hangs high, the street lights are on, and the Lizard House is immersed in darkness.

Most of the people gathered in the living room, and although there was no Internet or mobile phone reception, the TV was playing normally.The news about the Lizard God still focused on the murder of Wang Chen and Sister Hua a few days ago.The police still haven't found a breakthrough, and they don't know that Mi Kaka and others are trapped in the Lizard House.

And, the lizard god, right here!

While staring at the TV, Qi Mu thought to himself: one of these trapped people must be a lizard god.What's next for it?

And what is its motivation?

That's right.What has always puzzled Saiki is the motive of the Lizard God.

From the bloody case 18 years ago to the reappearance in the world today, there must be some reason why it has been dormant for 18 years, until today.

Who could this person be?Thinking, Qi Mu's eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

Among them, there are two people who can be completely ruled out as suspects: neither Mikaka nor himself will be the murderer.

Li Xiaochong's suspicion rate is about 10%.

Yu Zhan, cannot be fooled by his police status.He is related to the case 18 years ago, and may have unknown motives.The degree of suspicion is 50%.

Ding Lihan and Gu Yingliang were born 18 years ago, so they are basically not suspected, but if their parents are involved, they cannot be completely ruled out.The degree of suspicion is 30%.

Ran Yuxuan, since she is identified as the reincarnation of the Lizard God, there may be a reason for it.The degree of suspicion is 50%.

Ran Xiao, a survivor of the massacre, was also the most detailed insider of the case.Generally, the victim is not identified as the murderer.But it does not rule out the possibility that the murderer fabricated himself as a victim.And, most importantly, Ran Xiao is very likely to have a second Diablo notebook.

The butler, Zhang, although he has served Ran's family for many years, his background is unknown, and the suspicion cannot be ruled out.

The most suspicious person is still the weird girl in the bamboo hat.Without it, she was the only one who didn't have an alibi when she was attacked by the lizard god at noon.In addition, this woman has been wearing a veil, obviously not wanting to be seen by others.All in all, this person's origin is unknown and his style is weird, so it's only natural to make her the number one suspect.

Thinking about it, Qi Mu's gaze stayed on the strange girl in the bamboo hat.At this time, she was sitting at the table, holding the tortoise shell in her left hand, and picked up the ancient coins on the table with her right hand and put them into the tortoise shell.Then she chanted a spell and shook the vaguely textured dark green shell.

After she finished speaking, she slammed the coin onto the table.

"Crash!"

Several ancient coins were scattered on the table head-on or head-on.

The weird girl in the hat took a look, counted her fingers, and said in a very heavy tone: "Ominous omen. This is the hexagram of the master. The earth is on the top, and the water is on the bottom. The peaceful atmosphere is on the surface, and the danger is hidden underneath. It is good if you are studying Hexagram. If you are looking for something, you can only say that the earth is rich and rich, and it is benevolent, but the appearance, sound, and color are all illusory, but in fact, the appearance of benevolence hides dark water, twists and turns. Sir, you have to be careful."

It was so mysterious that others could not understand a word.

Ran Xiao hurriedly asked: "Master, may I ask if there is any way to resolve it."

The weird girl in the bamboo hat took out the compass again, and walked around the living room, looking up and down.After a while, she said: "This place is originally on the mountain, and it has inherited the air of water and trees, and it is facing the direction of the shade. As the saying goes, it is extremely cold at high places. Yang energy is scarce. But you have to sit in front of this mountain forest. This forest There are bamboos and locust trees in it, and I’m afraid there will be no grass. When you walk into the room, you will feel chills on your back. Xiao Ke guesses that a murder case happened here. According to the geomantic omen of this place, the ghost lingers here for a long time. Scatter. It is difficult to break this catastrophe."

As soon as the words were finished, a girl screamed "Ah" suddenly came from the house.

It came from the bathroom.

What's the matter? !
Everyone's nerves tensed suddenly.

Qi Mu ran over to take a look first, but saw Mi Kaka standing awkwardly at the door of the bathroom, blushing.In the bathroom, Ran Yuxuan was nervously getting dressed.In a horrified glance, a red birthmark in the shape of a lizard appeared on her back near the left shoulder.

This must be the taboo-like curse that the Lizard God left on her.Qi Mu thought to himself.

At this time, other people also ran over.

"What's wrong?!" Ran Xiao asked.

After getting dressed, Ran Yuxuan glanced at Mi Kaka in embarrassment, hesitated for a while before blushing, "I...I was taking a shower just now, I didn't expect Mi Kaka to barge in suddenly... Oh, I'm so ashamed... After finishing speaking, she ran back to her room shyly.

Only Mikaka was left alone, at a loss to accept the trial of the people.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be such a famous detective."

How could Qi Mu let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury.He squinted and smiled.

"Mikaka, how can you peek at others taking a bath?!" Gu Yingliang's expression was like examining a pervert.

"Mikaka, your morals and manners in school have always been good, I can't imagine..." As a teacher, Xie Xiuzhe's tone was full of sighs.

"No no no! Things are not what you think."

This time, Mi Kaka really jumped into the Pearl River and couldn't get rid of it.

Even Li Xiaochong, an upright people's policeman, came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaomi, I can understand that young people have desires and impulses, but you can't do such obscene and dirty things! Alas, I really misunderstood is you."

Yu Zhan also shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Mi Jie to have such a younger brother."

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, please? Can you listen to my explanation?" Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Mi Kaka couldn't help getting angry.

"Mikaka, please speak clearly. I believe you are not that kind of person."

Fortunately, Lin Shan was willing to believe in him, and Mi Kaka was so grateful.He explained that just now he accidentally came to the bathroom door, and suddenly found a lizard flashing inside, so he rushed in.Before that, he didn't know that Ran Yuxuan was taking a bath in it, and when he rushed in, she had already finished washing and began to dress.At best, he only saw her bare back.

After the explanation, like Dou E's upper body, he raised his five fingers and swore: "Trust me, I didn't see anything!"

However, everyone's expressions clearly revealed two words - don't believe it!
Mi Kaka became anxious: "It's true! I swear by my personality."

"Your personality." Qi Mu said slowly, "It's only worth a catty and a dime."

This is lower than the price of buying waste paper...

In this way, Mikaka is really speechless.

"Why don't everyone just believe me?" He looked up to the sky and sighed.

Qi Mu decided to give him a chance to prove his innocence.

"What is it?" Mikaka asked hurriedly.

Like a magic trick, Qi Mu took out two spoons and handed them to him.

"Eh?" He was puzzled: "What is this for?"

Qi Mu said seriously: "In ancient times, peeping at women taking a bath was to dig your own eyes."

This method of proving innocence really resembles the painting style of a criminal... Mikaka held the spoon, dumbfounded and embarrassed.

at this time--

A long siren suddenly sounded in the yard, and the piercing sound went straight into the sky like exploding fireworks, disrupting the tranquility of the night.

Where is this siren coming from? !
Everyone looked around suspiciously, but Ran Xiao's complexion changed drastically: "No! This is the siren of the lizard cage going off!"

It was the iron cage that kept the monitor lizard.

This is obviously not a good sign.

In a hurry, Ran Xiao was the first to run out of the house, followed by the others, running towards the iron cage.

Under the night, Ran Xiao's back was stunned in front of the iron cage, staring straight at the scene in front of her, her face was ashen.

After a while, everyone chased after him.They followed Ran Xiao's gaze, and gasped one after another.The timid Gu Yingliang exclaimed "Wow!" and almost fell to the ground.

It turned out that the cage that kept the monitor lizard was open at this time.

Both iron gates are open!
Ran Xiao clenched her fists and slammed her cane on the ground angrily: "Bastard, who opened the iron cage!"

Lin Shan glanced at him indifferently: "Mr. Ran, you need a key and password to open this iron cage."

As long as you know who took the key, you can catch the person who opened the cage.

Only then did Mr. Ran remember, "Only the housekeeper and I have the key." Then, he took out his key from his pocket, "My key is still..."

Then, only the housekeeper Zhang has the key.

Huh?What about others? !

Qi Mu quickly scanned the crowd, but did not find Lao Zhang's figure.

Besides, I haven't seen him since just now.

"Did the housekeeper open the cage?" Mikaka asked.

"Not necessarily, it is also possible that someone else stole Lao Zhang's key." Lin Shan analyzed.

That person, could it be the Lizard God?Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
