Chapter 444 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (52)
After all, Ding Lihan's death method is obviously different from the previous cases.

"This is indeed possible." Lin Shan said, as if she had found some clue, she suddenly squatted down.It turned out that Ding Lihan was holding a mobile phone in his hand under his body.He was about to pick it up, but Yu Zhan snatched it away first.

"Hey, you middle school students, don't treat this as a detective game, okay?" Yu Zhan was still struggling with this matter, but it was not realistic to drive them away, so he had to reiterate again: "I am the boss. You have to listen to me, you know?"

"Obey! Boss!" Mikaka's ability to pretend to be a fool is first-rate.

Lin Shan also behaved submissively.

Only Qi Mu dismissed Zhan.

This brat... Seeing Qi Mu's cold and paralyzed face, Yu Zhan wanted to hit someone.But he held back and turned on the dead man's cell phone.The message left by Ding Lihan immediately appeared on the screen of the phone: "The Lizard God is..."

Sure enough, the lizard god appeared again!
Seeing the death news, everyone was shocked.Unfortunately, this message only has four words.Ding Lihan must have exhausted all his strength before revealing the murderer's true identity.

"Hey! It's almost... I can know who the lizard god is." Mi Kaka felt regretful.

Fate often likes to joke, and when you are one step closer to the truth, there is suddenly an insurmountable gap.

"Maybe." Qi Mu suddenly recalled what happened last night, and said, "Ding Lihan already knew the identity of the Lizard God."

"No way?" Mi Kaka was very surprised, "Brother Qi Mu, what basis do you have for saying that?"

Qi Mu mentioned that when he was on duty in the middle of the night, Ding Lihan suddenly ran out of the room with a panicked expression, as if he had encountered a terrible monster.At that time, he suspected that Ding Lihan met the lizard god in the room, but the other party said that he had a nightmare.

"From what you say, Ding Lihan probably knew the true identity of the Lizard God, and that's why he was killed." Lin Shan said.

But Mikaka raised a question: "That's not right. If he knew who the Lizard God was, why didn't he tell us?"

Qi Mu said lightly: "He must have a reason why he can't reveal the identity of that person."

Maybe it was fear, or maybe it was trying to cover up for the murderer?

In short, this secret is only known to the deceased himself.

At this time, the daytime sunlight shines on Ding Lihan's young face, his pale skin is so thin that it seems to melt away at the touch of a touch, and his life floats lightly in the morning air.Ran Yuxuan stood by the flowerbed, covering her face and crying continuously.

The clouds in the sky cast sad shadows.

Only Ran Yuxuan understood Ding Lihan's expression.He left with attachment, and did not forget her in the last moment of his life.He stretched out his hands, and the person he wanted to hug the most must be her.

How could she not know his intentions?
Endless sorrow, like roaring waves, churned violently in her heart.

She will not forget.Before meeting him, she was always excluded, kept away, and feared by her classmates. Only this boy cared about her and loved her.He lit a flame for her, weakly warming her life eroded by the cold.

Now, he left this world forever.

If he had never been to the Lizard House, he must still be living peacefully in this world as before.

Why is fate so cruel to her?Ran Yuxuan couldn't stop her crying.

"It's all my fault..." she murmured.

"Don't be sad, Yuxuan, it's not your fault." Gu Yingliang patted her friend on the back and comforted her softly.She felt distressed.She knew that it wasn't Ran Yuxuan's fault.Although things are very weird, Ran Yuxuan is by no means a murderous lizard god.But Gu Yingliang firmly believed in this point.

"You guys go back first. We are fine here." Lin Shan was considerate and asked Gu Yingliang to accompany Ran Yuxuan to leave.

The two gradually drifted away.

Looking at their backs, everyone felt very uncomfortable.

The sunlight at this moment has also become thin and feeble, and the humid fragrance of summer floats in the air.

Blooming death, firmly imprinted under the desolate sky.

Yu Zhan slowly lit a cigarette.The smell of nicotine choked into the nostrils, spicy, as if to catalyze a cry.

Silence strangles everyone's desire to speak.

The death of the housekeeper and Ding Lihan was a difficult mystery for them.

At this time, Qi Mu suddenly felt something, and looked back at the mansion over there.

I saw the strange girl in the bamboo hat standing at the window, looking at this side with strange eyes.

There was a faint smile on her lips.

According to the mobile phone records, Ding Lihan edited the draft death information at [-]:[-].

After getting up in the morning, Mikaka also met him in the bathroom.Therefore, the time of Ding Lihan's death should be between six and eight in the morning.

During this time period, who has an alibi?
At least after seven o'clock, everyone stayed in the living room waiting for breakfast, except for one person - the strange girl in a bamboo hat.She didn't come down to eat breakfast at that time, but stayed in the room all the time.The most suspicious person is still her.

"However, before seven o'clock, everyone's alibi is not complete enough." Mikaka said.

According to his reasoning, everyone has time to commit crimes.

Qi Mu said, there is no need to think about before seven o'clock.

"Why?" Mikaka still had some clues.

After Qi Mu made it clear, he realized that even though Ding Lihan was killed before breakfast, the mobile phone in the hands of the deceased must have appeared at the scene of the crime after [-]:[-].Just imagine, since the time of the death message on the mobile phone is [-]:[-], it is impossible for the murderer to put the mobile phone in the hands of the corpse before this time.And after seven o'clock, people eating breakfast have no chance to put their mobile phones on the scene.Then, only the person who did not eat breakfast in the house after seven o'clock could be the murderer.

"So, the strange woman in the hat is the biggest suspect. But..." Qi Mu's tone changed, "There are two doubts in this case."

"What is it?"

Qi Mu raised a finger: "One, why did the murderer use a dagger instead?"

"Yeah. I can't figure this out either." Mikaka scratched her head desperately.

Qi Mu said: "The murderer must have had no choice but to kill with a dagger."

"Then what's the second doubtful point?" Yu Zhan was the one who asked the question. He looked expectant, probably convinced by Qi Mu's reasoning, and had to put down his airs and ask for help.

Qi Mu looked at him coldly before raising his second finger: "Second, how did the lizard god kill without leaving footprints?"

"I have already solved the mystery." Mikaka proudly stated his reasoning - the murderer wore the same style of shoes as the deceased, carried the deceased on his body, and then moved it into the flowerbed, and then walked along the The original footprints come out.

This kind of trick is not uncommon in mystery novels.

But Mikaka's reasoning was immediately overturned by the merciless Qi Mu.

"If the murderer walked in with the dead on his back, it must have left a deep footprint. It is the same reason that the tracks of the wheels of the full and empty carriages leave different shades. And the footprints in the flowerbed are very shallow. It was pressed by the weight of two people."

Unexpectedly, this guy observed so meticulously, and Mi Kaka was a little speechless after being refuted.But he refused to admit defeat, and said, "The murderer may have used tools to move the corpse in. For example, he built a shelf around the flower garden or something..."

Before Mikaka could finish speaking, Saiki had already rolled his eyes at "Are you an idiot?"

He dismissed it: "The point is not how the murderer devised this trick. Rather, why did he devise this trick."

"What do you mean?"

The topic was too jumpy, and Mi Kaka couldn't figure it out for a while.

Qi Mu said that the murderer usually has only one purpose in setting up such a trick, which is to create the illusion that the deceased committed suicide, so as to create an alibi for himself.But in this case, everyone was in the lobby, and only the strange girl in the hat had the time to commit the crime.Even if she is a prisoner, she doesn't need to play such a complicated trick.Because it doesn't do anything to clear her of the suspicion.

"Unless." Lin Shan suddenly took over Qi Mu's words, "The real murderer is among the people eating breakfast. It used a clever technique to put the phone back to the side of the deceased."

With that said, Lin Shan's gaze turned to the mansion.

The distance between the mansion and the flower garden is more than 500 meters.What would the murderer do if he wanted to send the phone back to the scene from a long distance?

Moreover, none of the people who had breakfast at that time seemed to have acted abnormally.

"Wait a minute, do I know who the murderer is?" At this moment, Li Xiaochong raised his hand suddenly.

Immediately, he successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Zhan couldn't believe it, "Achong, you can find the murderer by yourself?"

"Tsk, don't underestimate me!" Li Xiaochong said, "This murderer has been ignored by us."

"Brother Ah Chong, who is the murderer?" Mi Kaka asked.

Suddenly, the theme song of "Detective Conan" sounded.Li Xiaochong pretended to pose, and slowly stretched out a finger, pointing at Yu Zhan: "There is only one truth. The murderer is you!"

"What the hell?!" Yu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mi Kaka also dropped his jaw, "Brother Ah Chong, are you sure?"

Li Xiaochong was very sure. "That's right. Listen to me slowly, everyone. Why did Uncle Yu suddenly volunteer to make breakfast this morning? This is very suspicious. I think he went into the kitchen, first soaked noodles in boiling water, and then sneaked out of the He climbed out of the window, set up the scene of the crime, and then slipped back in. When he came back, the instant noodles would be soaked. And his trick was really unnoticed, and we still thought he was kind enough to make us breakfast! "

In this way, Yu Zhan is the real murderer!
People's eyes fell on Zhan again.He was so wronged that he wanted to cry.He just made a meal of instant noodles and became a suspect!What kind of bullshit logic is this?

Seeing no response from everyone, Li Xiaochong couldn't help scratching his head, "Huh? Am I wrong?"
