Chapter 53 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (12)
"No, we can't do this for the time being." Edison said, "There is no direct evidence to prove that person is the murderer." He turned around, looked at Huang Wanwan who was throwing himself on his daughter's body, frowned, and began to use him again. That calm and meticulous reasoning ability.

He stared at the black invitation letter in his hand, and analyzed slowly: "The strangest thing now is, why is this black invitation letter on the corpse? I can be sure that it is still there before getting off the train. Good morning, oh, I If the murderer wants to steal it, it can only be during the time when the train is running. This is very strange, because we changed to the train temporarily, it was an accident, and the murderer could not get this. "

"Yes!" I echoed, "Could it be Huang Wanwan and Mu Xiao who did it?"

But the two of them didn't have the time or motive to kill Huang Mingzhu.How could the black invitation letter be on the corpse?This is a difficult mystery.

Edison then gave an explanation: "What if this black invitation letter is a counterfeit? We have no way of confirming whether this invitation letter is the original one, so the murderer may have made two identical invitation letters. In order to create our illusion. In this way, he will have enough time to wait for the opportunity to steal the invitation letter from us after killing people. Therefore, after getting off the train, everyone we come into contact with is suspected.”

I whispered: "So, Cheng Meini is also very suspicious?"

"Well." Edison nodded, "However, many villagers here are suspicious, and one of them can steal the invitation letter during the chaotic moment when we were besieged just now."

The mystery of the invitation letter is relatively clear, so how did the corpse escape the eyes of the three villagers and be transported to the water tanker?It turned out that Edison had already cracked this mystery.

He said: "Everyone thinks that there is only one road to the waterwheel, but everyone is wrong. There is obviously another road! That road is right in front of our eyes."

another way?what is it
As soon as I was reminded by Edison's suggestive eyes, I immediately looked at the waterwheel, and the river was flowing slowly under the waterwheel.

I finally understand where the other path is.

Called the phone several times and it didn't work.

"It's hard to get a mobile phone signal here." Seeing that I wanted to call the police, Lao Zhang kindly reminded, "Why don't you go to my hotel and call. Anyway, you are tired, go to my shop to rest first, here Just leave it to the police. By the way, how many rooms do you want? Five people?"

"Boss." Mu Xiao said at this time, "We have already booked a room in your store. My surname is Mu, and I called yesterday."

"Ah! It's you!" Lao Zhang exclaimed suddenly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you haven't come yet. I thought you wouldn't come today. Didn't the phone say there were only four of you?"

Cheng Meini said quickly, "I didn't come with them, but I also booked a room. My name is Maggie."

"Are you that foreign devil?" While saying this, Lao Zhang's eyes suddenly changed.Edison noticed it immediately. It seemed that Lao Zhang had an inexplicable malice towards Cheng Meini.

"Foreign devil? No! No! My father is Chinese! I'm half Chinese!" Cheng Meini tried her best to explain, but still couldn't dispel the hostility in Lao Zhang's eyes.

But the two probably didn't know each other before.Cheng Meini said that she had just returned to China and had never been to this county and this straw village.

So, a group of five of us followed Lao Zhang back to the hotel.The body remained where it was, guarded by two villagers, waiting for the police to come and investigate.Huang Wanwan's mood was still unstable, his eyes were red from crying, and he looked haggard all of a sudden, and was supported by Mu Xiao.

After walking for about 10 minutes, we saw Lao Zhang's hotel.It was a two-storey house, and its structure was a bit like an ancient inn, in the shape of a Chinese character.According to Lao Zhang, this inn was only renovated three years ago.This place is much better than we imagined. It is antique, with carved wooden doors and red lacquered pillars. It is a building that is hard to find in modern cities.But such an elegant hotel appeared in this impoverished small mountain village, which seemed a bit out of place.

Lao Zhang told us that his hotel mainly serves foreign tourists.Because there are hot springs here, there are not a few guests who come here to soak in the hot springs every year, so it is very necessary to spend a lot of money to renovate the hotel.

"Unexpectedly," Lao Zhang changed the subject, and his tone became sad, "No one has dared to come recently."

"Is it because Mr. Fox Demon said that he would send an invitation letter?" Edison asked.

"That's right. Since Lord Fox was revived, more and more people came here to watch the excitement, but after hearing that Lord Fox was about to issue an invitation to death, no one dared to come. Even us generations The villagers who live here are also worried all day long, for fear that they will receive a death invitation letter."

"Do you believe that Lord Fox Demon's mana is real?"

Edison's question obviously touched a certain nerve in Lao Zhang, and he opened his mouth wide in astonishment, as if he regarded Edison as a heretic. "Of course it's true!" Lao Zhang shouted, "Master Fox Demon's powerful magic power is obvious to all of us! Many people here are followers of Lord Fox Demon!"

"A lot of people?" Edison found the flaw in this sentence, "So, there are still a few people who don't believe it?"

"There are some stubborn guys. For example, the old village head is planning to sell the land here to build a resort. This is the forest where Lord Fox Demon has lived for thousands of years. How dare he offend Lord Fox Demon? , sooner or later there will be retribution."

Lao Zhang actually called the village chief "I'm not dead", which shows that he is very dissatisfied with the village chief.

As soon as we entered the hotel, a man walked past us coldly.

Cheng Meini exclaimed in a soft voice: "Wow, the hooded monster!"

is not that right?The hooded man we met on the train swaggered past us.Perhaps "swaggering" is an adjective too much, but at least he walked back to his room with an air of indifference.All the while, he didn't even look at us, acting as if nothing had happened.

Edison watched the room closely, thinking.While thinking about the problem, he walked upstairs, and Mu Xiao had already helped Huang Wanwan upstairs to rest.

"Hey! Don't run!" Suddenly, there was an anxious shout from the second floor, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the floor was shaken and creaked.

There's a boy chasing something down the corridor.To our great surprise, his next yell was: "Hey, monster, don't run!"

monster?The few of us looked at each other, not knowing why.

But Lao Zhang was not surprised: "Don't pay attention to him. He is also our resident, and he said he came here to catch monsters."

"Catch monsters?" It seems that there is still a strange person living in this hotel.

We looked up and saw the boy running barefoot down the corridor.He is not as mysterious as Hooded Man, he is a handsome boy, about my age, and he seems to be a student.I saw him wearing shorts and a T-shirt, bending over as if desperately trying to catch something.

"Hey! Guest!" Lao Zhang yelled upstairs dissatisfiedly, "Don't run away, you want to demolish my house?"

"I'll catch it soon! I'll catch it soon!" The boy replied while continuing to chase.

When he ran to the stairs, he accidentally fell down the stairs.Edison standing on the stairs couldn't react in time, and the two rolled down the stairs together.Edison lay on the ground without saying a word, seemingly fainted.

"Oh, it hurts to death!" the boy said with a painful expression while touching his head.He wanted to get up, but "wrongly" put one hand on Xia Zao'an's chest.Xia Zao'an, who fainted for a few seconds, opened her eyes suddenly, yes, Xia Zao'an is back.

It was a scene that should be frozen inappropriate for children - the boy lay on Xia Zaoan's body and grabbed her chest with one hand.

"Ah! Pervert!" An earth-shattering scream instantly shattered our eardrums.

"I didn't do it on purpose..." The boy blushed immediately, and quickly let go of his hand.Before he could explain, Xia Zao'an unleashed her long-famous three punches of the farmer, and swung it towards the boy's face. Immediately, ear-piercing screams resounded in the hotel.

"Poor guy!" Cheng Meini squatted down to look at the boy who had been beaten unconscious, and drew a cross reverently on her chest, then looked at Xia Zao'an who got up, with an expression of admiration on her face, "You shot really hard ah."

"That's okay, let's see if he dares to take advantage of me?" Xia Zao'an kicked the boy who was knocked out by her in disbelief, "Ah, this guy looks like Master Wu Zun!" After knowing the face of the boy who fascinated all beings, Xia Zao'an fell into a nympho again.Do all girls have to shout out "watching handsome guys is everyone's responsibility" when they meet handsome guys?
"Who beat my Master Wu Zun so badly! It's so unreasonable!" Xia Zaoan yelled indignantly, "Who come and save my Master Wu Zun!" I finally knew what it was like to cry for a thief.

At this time, Lao Zhang shouted loudly into the room: "An Xiaobao! An Xiaobao!"

Another boy ran out, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and looked like a waiter in a shop.He ran in front of Lao Zhang, waited for orders and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up and carry this guest into the house, he was knocked out." Lao Zhang pointed to the fainted boy.

"Okay." An Xiaobao readily agreed.With great strength, he picked up the boy by himself and walked into the house.Xia Zao'an followed in worriedly, for fear that her Master Wu Zun would never wake up again.
