Chapter 441 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (49)
Only then did Yu Zhan leisurely squat down to examine the corpse.He found that there were several bite wounds on the body of the deceased, and transparent lizard saliva appeared next to the body, which was very similar to the previous case, and the fatal wound was still on the neck.

Was this death really the work of the Lizard God again?

"Uncle Yu, the murderer is the lizard god?" his assistant Li Xiaochong asked in a low voice.

"Ninety-nine are not far from ten." Yu Zhan bit the cigarette holder with a serious expression on his face.

This is the fourth case in a row.The young man in the city, Wang Chen and the thief, Sister Hua, and then the housekeeper Zhang.All doubts point to the same prisoner - the lizard god.

Could it be that the lizard god from 18 years ago really reappeared in the world?

The most frightening thing is that it is now in this lizard house!

Yu Zhan was lost in thought.Suddenly, Mikaka remembered an important matter. He looked nervously at the dark night around him, and said worriedly, "By the way, what about that monitor lizard? It doesn't seem to be in the cage..."

"I just checked, there are no lizards in this cage." said Li Xiaochong who was the first to enter the cage.

Others also looked around with flashlights, but they did not see the monitor lizard.

This is miserable.

If the monitor lizard is not in the cage, it has escaped.

Considering the lizard house with a man-eating reptile roaming around, that's a real danger.If you're not careful, the people trapped in the lizard house can become food for the monitor lizard.What's more, apart from it, there is also a terrible murderer lizard god hidden in it.

"It seems." Qi Mu pondered: "The murderer killed the butler in the lizard cage for another purpose. That is to release the man-eating monitor lizard to cause panic."

This lizard god's mind is not usually vicious.

"Mr. Ran, can you tell us about the habits of this lizard?" Lin Shan asked.

The so-called knowing ourselves and the enemy can prevent the opponent's attack.

However, Ran Xiao's explanation was more permeating.He said that this monitor lizard was smuggled in from Bangladesh a few years ago. It is ferocious in nature and eats a lot. It has to feed several chickens every day.It also has a deadly weapon, that is, its saliva is poisonous, which can make its prey unconscious in a short period of time.

"Wow! It's scary!" Mikaka exclaimed, her face showing panic.

"I think." Lin Shan said, "We must never act alone in the future."

"Student Lin Shan, you are so right." Mi Kaka nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a figure ran over from the mansion.It was Ran Yuxuan who had just changed her clothes.

"What happened to the alarm just now?" She came over and asked, not understanding the current situation.

"The housekeeper is dead," Mikaka told her.

Ran Yuxuan frowned, "What?"

Mi Kaka pointed to the corpse on the ground. Seeing this, she took a few steps back, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth and screamed.

"Why...how, why did the housekeeper die?"

Her originally rosy face was now gray with fright, probably unable to accept this terrible fact.

At this time, Qi Mu asked, "Miss Ran, where were you just now?"

Ran Yuxuan frowned, as if wondering why she was questioned.She said: "I just went back to get dressed after taking a shower."

"Didn't you hear the sirens?"

"I heard that, that's why I rushed here."

"That's not right." Qi Mu took out his mobile phone and looked at it. "The alarm sounded 10 minutes ago. It won't take you so much time to change your clothes."

Moreover, Ran Yuxuan was wearing a set of pajamas.

"I even dried my hair." Ran Yuxuan was a little dissatisfied, obviously aware that Qi Mu was doubting herself.

Even if you count the time to dry your hair, consuming 10 minutes is not justified.

Ran Yuxuan said that before she rushed over, another incident happened.

"What is it?" Shiki asked.

"I saw..." Ran Yuxuan stammered, when she was about to go out, she suddenly saw a lizard figure flashing by the window, which frightened her a lot.Because of this, she did not rush over in time.

After hearing her words, Qi Mu and others were shocked.

"The figure of a lizard? What does it look like?" Lin Shan asked.

Ran Yuxuan said that she just took a quick glance and vaguely saw the lizard-like figure walking very fast, with a tail covered with scales behind it.It whizzed into the woods and disappeared.From her description, it doesn't look like a Bengal monitor lizard that escaped from an iron cage.

"Could it be...it's the lizard god?" Mikaka felt his throat dry and swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

But Lin Shan and Qi Mu looked at each other and remained silent.

Is this lizard man pretending to be a human being or is it a real lizard god?
If it's fake, who could it be?
For now, except for the weird girl in the hat and Ding Lihan, everyone else is here.The strange girl in the bamboo hat was still doing fortune-telling in the living room just now, but later she disappeared.As for Ding Lihan, he never saw anyone.

At this moment, Qi Mu suddenly stared at the woods behind the cage: "There are people in the woods!"

It was too late to say it, and then I saw a figure fleeting in the dark woods.

The branches and leaves trembled.

don't run!Qi Mu immediately ran out of the cage and chased him in.After a while, he dragged a person out.

Could it be that the murderer has been caught? !

Everyone rushed over to take a look, and were suddenly stunned.That person was Ding Lihan.

"Ding Lihan, why is it you?!" Teacher Xie Xiuzhe was surprised.

Mi Kaka couldn't believe it either, "Ding Lihan, you are actually a lizard god?!"

From the outside, this boy looks too bookish, and it is impossible to connect him with the vicious murderer.

"No, no, no!" Ding Lihan waved his hands repeatedly, "I didn't kill people! I'm not a lizard god!"

Qi Mu frowned coldly: "Then why did you run away?"

"You misunderstood, student Qi Mu." Ding Lihan said: "I didn't run away, I went after the murderer."

"murderer?"

"It's like this." Ding Lihan nodded, and continued to defend: "I was walking in the yard just now, and suddenly I heard the siren sound from the cage. I ran over to have a look, and just in time found a black shadow going into the woods. So, I Just go in and chase."

Can his words be trusted?
Qi Mu squinted sideways, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "What does that black shadow look like?"

Ding Lihan's eyes slightly dodged."It looked like a lizard. A big lizard!" he said.

"Could it be..." Mi Kaka resisted the uneasiness in his heart, and said softly, "It's that monitor lizard? It ran out!"

Will it eat everyone here?

"No, no." At this time, Ding Lihan denied again: "It's not a monitor lizard in a cage. The lizard I saw looks like..." He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "It looks like a human."

It's the lizard god!

Thinking of this at the same time, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka looked at each other silently.

At the same time, in the dormitory building over there.Behind a window, the curtains fluttered gently, and fragments of moonlight scattered around the feet.

The strange girl in the bamboo hat slowly took off her veil, staring at the people in the iron cage with strange eyes.

A contemptuous sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"The revenge of the Lizard God is finally about to begin," she said.

The housekeeper Zhang died, this night was destined to be difficult.

Clouds float in the night void.The large expanse of black is like putting a heavy mask on the sinful face.

The house is no longer safe.The lizard god and the monitor lizard, dormant in the dark, ready to deal them a fatal blow.

After returning to the hall from the empty iron cage, everyone felt heavy and did not want to talk much.Just in case the monitor lizard would sneak in, Qi Mu took someone to check the doors and windows to make sure everything was safe.

As the gate of the ancient house was slowly closed, it seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world.

In the silence, Ran Xiao walked to the center of the living room.

He bowed slightly and expressed his apology: "I'm sorry to surprise you all. The current situation was caused by Ran's carelessness. The tragedy has already happened and is irreversible. To prevent further accidents, I hope everyone must close the doors and windows tonight .”

No one spoke, and everyone lowered their heads dully.

The dead silence spread slowly like water ripples.

Originally, the guests were arranged to live in the dormitory building.However, due to a temporary change, Ran Xiao specially asked everyone to move to this mansion.Live together, at least have a care.And the weird girl in the bamboo hat never showed up after entering the room.She is still the biggest suspect.

At this moment, Yu lit a cigarette and frowned.He took a deep breath and let it out long.The smoke dissipated into the air, blurring every dejected face.He was distressed.Originally, this critical moment was exactly the time for him to perform his duties as a people's policeman. However, he was helpless in the face of the tragedy and the terrifying and mysterious murderer.

A deep sense of powerlessness is gradually destroying his fighting spirit.

Can he really solve the case, find out the real culprit, and prevent the next victim from appearing?Yu Zhan sighed again, and stifled the cigarette butt in the ashtray.Fortunately, after tonight, the worker will come to work on the agreed date.

Yes, as long as the worker arrives, he can ask for help from the outside world.

That worker is the last hope.

It's just... Yu Zhan was still very worried.Often, the murderer loses no time in carrying out his plot before hope arises.Therefore, tonight I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy.

And he is not the only one who has the same idea.

"I'm afraid something will happen tonight." Lin Shan said, a little out of breath.He has always been weak, and he has only slightly improved after taking medicine.However, he only had two days' worth of medicine left.If the medicine is stopped, his body may not be able to hold on.

"As long as the doors and windows are closed, the giant lizard won't be able to crawl in," Mikaka said.

In order to guard against monitor lizards, they closed the doors and windows tightly before, so it shouldn't be a big problem.But what if the murderer lizard god is in this room, among these people?
It must be well hidden, as it probably has a second Dark Notebook.

Qi Mu didn't express his thoughts.This will only arouse mutual suspicion among the companions.
