Chapter 450 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (58)
Indeed, among these few cases, only the way Ding Lihan was killed seemed very abrupt.

why?

Qi Mu stroked his chin, and suddenly raised his head to scan the people in the room.

When Xie Xiuzhe was attacked just now, only the strange girl in the hat and Ran Xiao were not there.At least, among those present, the suspicion of the lizard god can already be ruled out.Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of a cane outside the door.Ran Xiao appeared, leaning on a cane and wearing a nightgown, walking slowly as if he was full of sleep.He stared at Xie Xiuzhe's body with cold eyes, not surprised.

"Father, teacher, he... he died." Ran Yuxuan walked towards her father with a distraught expression on her face, she shed tears without saying a few words.

Ran Xiao stretched out her black-gloved fake hand and hugged her, "Yes. What a pity."

Even so, he still looked at all this coldly, with a very indifferent expression, and no trace of sadness could be seen in his eyes.For Xie Xiuzhe's death, not only did he not show any sympathy, but he hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing an imperceptible smile.

This person probably has an unknown relationship with the Lizard God.

Qi Mu thought of the case 18 years ago: the lizard god went on a killing spree, but left Ran Xiao alone, why?The suspect couldn't be stupid enough to leave a witness.Unless, there are only two possibilities.One, the murderer had a reason to let Ran Xiao go.Two, the murderer is... Ran Xiao herself.

But the second point is irrational.

After all, he had no motive to kill.That was his new wife.He killed his wife and broke his own palm?This sounds utterly ridiculous and unbelievable.

Then, there is only one possibility left.Ran Xiao knows the murderer and intends to protect it.

Will it be like this?

At this moment, Mikaka suddenly showed a surprised expression, as if a ball of fear exploded in his black eyes.He raised his fingers with great effort, even the tips of his fingers were as cold as ice, and it took him a long time to utter a word: "Then...over there..."

The air suddenly tensed like a rubber band.Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

The window of the room where the crime scene is located is facing the Lizard Temple over there.

In front of the temple, there was a lamp hanging, and a faint light appeared in the dark night.Along the edge of the light, a strange figure appeared at this time.Its back is facing away, its shape is hunched, and it is too far away to see its appearance clearly.But the people in this room are holding their breath, the chill crawling on their skin.

Everyone's thinking the same way: who is that? !

Finally, it slowly turned around.

oh!Everyone tightened their bodies suddenly.They saw the corners of a mouth bared with fangs lifted at evil angles, and there was a piercing smile.

Hey hey.Its laughter is chilling.

"It's the lizard god!" Qi Mu didn't know what fear was. He wanted to grab the monster with all his heart, and a fast figure jumped out of the window, riding on the moonlight and falling on the grass, and ran towards the lizard temple in an instant.

Except for Li Xiaochong, how could anyone else have his skills, so they had to obediently go down the stairs and rush past the gate.

When he rushed over, he saw Qi Mu and Li Xiaochong standing in front of the temple, wandering and searching.

"Where are people?" Mikaka asked.

"When we arrived, that guy had disappeared." Li Xiaochong shook his head in distress.

This is very strange.He clearly saw the Lizard God in this place, why did he suddenly disappear?

Qi Mu frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he shot around.

The lizard god escaped too fast.Did it escape into the temple or the forest?
Huh?wrong.

Qi Muru woke up suddenly, turned around and turned back towards the mansion.

what happened?
The others were still confused at the moment, so they had to follow behind him.

I saw Qi Mu go back to the second floor, come to the door of the strange girl in bamboo hat and knock on the door vigorously.

After a long time, she came over to open the door unhurriedly.

Even in the middle of the night, she still wears a veil, and still doesn't want to show her true face.

"What's the matter?" Her tone was cold, and she couldn't feel any enthusiasm.

Qi Mu grabbed her eyes and asked, "Were you in the room just now?"

oh.He must have suspected that the lizard god just now was pretended by the strange woman in the bamboo hat.

However, this is undocumented.The weird girl in the bamboo hat naturally also denied it.She claimed that she had been sleeping just now and had no idea what was going on outside.

Can her words be trusted?
But, besides her, who else has the opportunity to pretend to be a lizard god?

Three people died in a row.When will the atrocities of the Lizard God stop?

Who is it?
"I think the murderer is that weird girl in the bamboo hat." The next day, when Mi Kaka and a few people gathered in the living room to discuss, he put forward his own idea.

"I also think she is the most suspect." Li Xiaochong agreed with him. "Uncle Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Zhan bit his cigarette, "This guy always covers his face, it's really weird. Moreover, she has no alibi every time."

In this regard, Lin Shan put forward different opinions: "I don't think she is like a lizard god."

"Huh?" Yu Zhan asked back, "Why did you say that?"

Lin Shan spoke out her inference in a gentle tone: "Think about it, if you were a murderer, would you deliberately dress so eye-catching?" After hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, and then went back to their own thoughts.

Lin Shan is right, generally speaking, murderers are often good at hiding in the crowd.A maverick like the strange girl in a bamboo hat, doesn't she make it clear that she wants to attract the attention of others?
"But she's the only one who doesn't have an alibi."

Mi Kaka brought up the point of the question - when Ding Lihan and Xie Xiuzhe were killed, only the strange girl in the hat had time to commit crimes.

"Well..." Lin Shan was also stumped, speechless.

"Brother Qi Mu, what do you think?" Mikaka turned his gaze to Qi Mu.I saw him pour a glass of red wine with great interest, and drank it slowly.He is the only one who has such a leisurely mood.Mikaka waited for a while, but Qi Mu didn't say a word.

It seems that he has no clue.

Could it be that they are going to question whether the strange girl in the bamboo hat is the murderer?Even if the other party is the murderer, I'm afraid they won't admit it.The topic was interrupted awkwardly.

The living room fell into silence, and everyone pondered the case and thought about it seriously.Just when everyone was in a trance, they heard a soft meow of "meow", breaking the silent atmosphere like a ball of wool suddenly falling to the ground.Qi Mu immediately stiffened his back, frowned, and his expression changed slightly.He followed the source of the sound and looked out the window.But I saw a yellow fat cat appearing on the windowsill.Its chubby body is lying lazily on the balcony, its fluffy tail is hanging down, shaking comfortably.It squinted Qimu, as if it was seducing him, but also seemed to be contemptuous of him.

It's Mr. Chien's cat assistant.

Mi Kaka couldn't help being surprised, suspecting that she was hallucinating: "Eh? It's that cat again!"

Isn't this the cat that once saved their lives on the cliff?

As he was speaking, the cat stretched out a paw and scratched the balcony window as if beckoning.Mikaka was instantly blushed by this action: "Wow! It seems to be calling us." And the cat turned its back and jumped off the window sill, twisting its fat buttocks and running away.Lin Shan stood up immediately, "Sorry everyone, I'm going out for a while."

Mikaka stopped him immediately.He felt that Lin Shan was a little abnormal: "Where are you going?"

But Lin Shan said: "I'll come back when I go." Before he could say a few words, he opened the door and chased him out.

Lin Shan knew that it must be unusual for Mr. Qian's cat to appear at this time.

He walked out of the mansion quickly, but suddenly stopped.

Huh?He glanced back at Qi Mu who was sitting in the room in confusion.really weird.Lin Shan thought, it's impossible for Qi Mu not to notice something that even he noticed, but why didn't the other party chase him out?
Thinking of the fight with Mr. Qian on the roof that night, when Qi Mu was about to catch the strange thief, he was destroyed by a cat.

Could it be...haha.Lin Shan suddenly smiled.He seems to have discovered a weakness in Saiki.

Then, he turned his gaze back again.At this time, the cat was lying on the front grass waiting for him, like a yellow and white ball.

Lin Shan chased after him.

The cat led him into the woods, and its fat body got into the lush vegetation.

Lin Shan followed it all the way, and finally stopped under a hidden tree.

It "meowed" at Lin Shan twice, pawed the ground a few times with its soft and thick paws, and then disappeared.

What's wrong here?

Lin Shan frowned, looking back and forth.He found that this new soil was softer than other places, with obvious signs of movement.

Could it be that there is something hidden under the ground?
Lin Shan hurriedly found some branches and other things from around him and dug them up.He kept digging vigorously, regardless of the dirt on his high-end clothes.It's hard to blame his sick and weak body, he was very tired soon, and he began to pant heavily.Fortunately, at this time, the soil suddenly appeared...

Lin Shan's expression changed.

Inside, what's buried is actually...

After a while, the people in the living room had moved to the edge of the pit in the woods.

"You found it?" Yu Zhan asked, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"It's not me. It's a cat." Lin Shan nodded.

"cat?"

It should be the fat cat just now.

Qi Mu immediately looked around nervously, but luckily the cat had long since disappeared.

"I didn't expect to die here." Yu Zhan squatted down and picked up the corpse in the pit with a branch. When he picked it up, the corpse buried in the ground for several days emitted a disgusting sour smell. As if all the flies would be attracted in an instant, the maggots had already crawled all over the soil.Everyone couldn't help taking a big step back and covering their noses.But what Yu Zhan picked out was a long and thick tail, and several white bones were exposed, which seemed not to be a human structure.

What was buried in the soil was not someone else, but the corpse of a lizard.From this appearance, it is the Bengal monitor lizard that escaped from the iron cage before.It has long since rotted, and its lips are purple and black.
