Chapter 456 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (64)
"Wait," Mikaka interrupted Qi Mu: "It's not right. When Ding Lihan died, there was still a message written on the phone in his hand to tell us the identity of the lizard god."

Qi Mu said: "This is misleading. Ding Lihan just wants us to think that the person who killed him is the Lizard God."

Mikaka scratched his head: "Ah?! But why did he do that?"

Qi Mu asked Mi Kaka back: "You should know that he likes Ran Yuxuan."

"That's right." Mikaka replied.This question effectively reminded him, and he immediately figured it out: "Ah, you mean he wanted to protect Ran Yuxuan..."

Qi Mu nodded: "Yes. When the housekeeper Lao Zhang was killed, I guessed that Ding Lihan accidentally broke Ran Yuxuan's plan, and thus discovered her identity as the lizard god. In order to protect his beloved, he decided to commit suicide Get her out of the crime. So he helped Ran Yuxuan create an alibi."

Poor Ding Lihan...in order to protect his beloved, he chose this path of no return.

After realizing that Ding Lihan committed suicide, Mi Kaka became even more sad.

Lin Shan then took over the conversation: "However, Ding Lihan couldn't commit suicide in the way of a lizard god. Because he couldn't bite himself to death, he could only commit suicide with a dagger. This can also explain why only his footprints were left at the scene of the crime. .”

Mi Kaka thought for a while, and then said: "No, no. Even if Ding Lihan's case can be justified, but when Teacher Xie was killed by the Lizard God, Ran Yuxuan was outside the door with us. How could she kill by herself?!"

Qi Mu smiled coldly, and replied: "It's the same reason. When Teacher Xie died, was the Lizard God really in the house?"

If the Lizard God wasn't in the house, why would Xie Xiuzhe scream and die?And teacher Xie Xiuzhe was undoubtedly killed, so why is the lizard god not in the house?Mi Kaka couldn't figure it out again: "What do you mean?"

Qi Mu shook his head and sighed, indicating that rotten wood cannot be carved.

"Xie Xiuzhe got the diary in the treasure box, so he took it for granted that Ran Yuxuan was his daughter. After that, he would naturally question Ran Xiao. At this time, Ran Xiao probably told him a terrible truth. That is, his The daughter is the terrifying murderer lizard god! As a father, how do you think he will choose?"

"Oh!" Mikaka understood a little bit.

The incident at that time was probably like this: after Xie Xiuzhe was attacked by his daughter, in order to exonerate her, he specially waited for her to leave, and then yelled in the room and dropped things to attract the attention of others.Before he died, he created an alibi for his daughter.

In the same way, Sister Qin is probably willing to commit suicide for the sake of protecting the Lord.

"So many people died to protect you." Qi Mu stared at Ran Yuxuan who lowered her head.No, she is the lizard god.

She raised her head suddenly, but she was no longer the docile and pleasant Ran Yuxuan.She stared angrily at her bloodshot eyes, and under the delicate skin, blue veins emerged from her temples like snakes.Unable to restrain the rage in her body, she hammered hard on the armrest of the sofa and roared loudly like an angry beast: "Nonsense! You are all talking nonsense! This is just your speculation, and there is no real evidence at all!"

She looked at Qi Mu as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

As long as she gets on the plane and gets out of this damn place, her plan is perfect.But at this last moment, they ran over to wreak havoc!These bastards!Ran Yuxuan was furious like a monster.

Mikaka looked chilled.

The girl in front of him was completely different from the Ran Yuxuan he knew.

Facing the furious lizard god, Qi Mu looked calm and calm: "Is it nonsense, as long as you find the real Ran Yuxuan, you will know it all."

When the Lizard God heard this, she originally wanted to be furious, but instead of being angry, she smiled, and her flushed face subsided a little.She thought Qi Mu was such a smart and powerful character, but she didn't expect it to be nothing more than that.The Lizard God couldn't help evoking a smile.She originally wanted to mock Qi Mu gracefully, but she couldn't hide the treacherous corner of her mouth.

It was like the moment when the witch saw Snow White eating the poisoned apple, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy.

"Hey hey... is it..."

The Lizard God laughed so contortedly that Lin Shan and Mi Kaka couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, as if their spines had been scraped by ice skates.And the Lizard God is still expanding her smile, as if he doesn't know how ugly his expression is at the moment.She doesn't care about these.Because, she is in sight of victory.She figured these people would never find her sister.

Yes, she is the lizard god, so what? !
As long as she can't find her younger sister, she can still live in the name of Ran Yuxuan, squandering the huge wealth of the Ran family, and go abroad to live a happy life.No one will know what happened in Lizard House.She will wash away all sin and darkness and give herself a new life.

Mi Kaka panicked now, and asked softly, "Then where can we find the real Ran Yuxuan?"

Lin Shan looked around and said, "I think she is in this room."

Lizard God still smiled complacently.

But her last good fortune didn't last long.Qi Mu looked around and suddenly remembered, "Do you still remember the night of the Lizard God Festival?"

Mikaka didn't quite understand, and her hair was almost scratched: "Nothing happened that night."

The face of the Lizard God suddenly darkened.

Qi Mu said remindingly: "When we came to Shawan Ancient Town, it was still the real Ran Yuxuan who received us. Then, when did the two Ran Yuxuan exchange?"

The best time and place to swap is...

"Lizard Temple!" Mi Kaka and Lin Shan said in unison.

At this time, the Lizard God had lost the strength to resist, and she sat slumped on the sofa.

It's all over!

Squeak—the ancient temple of lizards has been opened.

The smell of decaying wood blows towards the face, the dust permeates the breath, and the temple that has not been visited for a long time looks lifeless.The sun shone weakly on the corner of the door, and the cool air was impenetrable darkness.

Qi Mu and the others stood at the door with their backs to the light, solemnly looking at the lizard god in the temple with its fangs and claws.

"Cough, cough." Mikaka coughed as he was choked by the thick dust, and waved his hands to dispel the old smell lingering in his nose.

In front of him, the depths of the temple were very dark.The lifelike lizard god stared down at these humble humans with cold eyes.

Will Ran Yuxuan really be hidden here?

On the surface, the arrangement in the temple is very simple. There are a few futons scattered in front of the sacrificial altar with the lizard statue, and some old-fashioned cleaning tools such as bamboo brooms and dustpans stand in the corners.Other than that, there was nothing else, as silent as a still old man.

Of course, the real mystery is by no means so easy to discover.

Qi Mu winked at Lin Shan and Mi Kaka, and the three began to search in the dark temple.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"—the sound of the stick hitting the ground discreetly merged into the dead silence.

Qi Mu and the three walked while hitting the ground with wooden sticks.If the cellar were here, the knocking at the entrance would have made a difference.

However, they knocked again in the temple, even the corners, but they still couldn't find the entrance to the cellar.

"That's weird. Did we all guess wrong?" Mikaka said angrily.

Everything was quiet all around, and no one told him the correct answer.

An unknown smile flashed across the corner of Ran Yuxuan's mouth who was standing at the door.

But in the next second, this smile immediately turned into an expression of grievance.She pursed her mouth deliberately, opened her beautiful eyes wide, and defended herself resolutely: "I've said it all, I'm innocent. Why don't you guys believe me?"

As Ran Yuxuan spoke, her voice began to choke.When Mikaka looked back, she was crying.Two lines of tears fell on her cheeks with pear blossoms and rain. This pitiful appearance reminded people of her tragic life experience.She is now just an orphan girl who lost her father.

Is this weak girl in front of me really a cruel lizard god?

Mi Kaka couldn't help wondering if he had wronged a good person.

However, Ran Yuxuan's drama failed to impress the other two people.

Qi Mu and Lin Shan still watched the situation in the temple without distraction.Just checked, the floor is normal.So where would the entrance to the cellar be?

Was their reasoning really wrong?

No, Qi Mu is convinced that the real Ran Yuxuan is hidden in this place.His eyes gradually swept over the lizard statue.This statue stands on a square stone platform, with a long table for offering sacrifices in front of it.

Now, there is only one place that is not searched.

"Could it be that the entrance is inside the statue of the lizard?" Mikaka thought he was smart, and climbed up the stone platform at once, carefully checking whether the statue of the lizard had hidden mechanisms.

Qi Mu couldn't laugh or cry, "You idiot." He cursed, how could the entrance be in the lizard statue.Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible, because a few days ago, people carried out the stone statues and paraded around the town. If there really was an entrance, it would have been discovered long ago.

"Where will that be?" Mikaka was frustrated.

Qi Mu didn't rush, and tapped the side of the stone platform with a stick, while quietly watching Ran Yuxuan's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, a ray of anxiety flashed across her eyes quickly.

That said, the entrance is here!
Sure enough, when Qi Mu knocked on the right side of the stone platform, the wall echoed with a booming sound.

It's empty here!

"Here." Saiki said.

Lin Shan and Mi Kaka came over, and looking at Ran Yuxuan, her face was ashen.

Qi Mu threw the wooden stick on the ground, and stretched out his hand to push the wall. The wall was just an invisible movable door, which easily opened slowly with Qi Mu's strength.A dark entrance appeared in front of the three of them.With a flashlight, there is a stone ladder leading to the depths below.

The cellar was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was going on in the depths.There is a damp smell in the air, which is a dull smell that has not seen the sun all year round.
