Chapter 56 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (15)
We were still on the train at that time, that is to say, the murderer arrived at Straw Village one step ahead of us and disposed of the body.This deduction cleared the suspicion of the hooded man, because he was on the train with us at the time.No, I thought of another possibility—the murderer killed Huang Mingzhu on the train, and came to Daicao Village earlier than us to dispose of the body.

"Anything else to discover?" I asked.

Doctor Ma quickly replied: "The deceased was strangled to death, and she had obvious symptoms of strangulation. Moreover, there was an ingredient of chloroform in her mouth. This shows that she was stunned first, and then strangled to death."

"Since the murderer wanted to strangle her, why did he faint her first?" I expressed my doubts.

"I don't know why the murderer did this." Doctor Ma thought for a while and gave up. "By the way, have you seen the fox demon?"

"No." I knew that the purpose of Doctor Ma's trip was to find out whether the fox demon was true or false, so I told her the conversation I had with the village chief, and she was really surprised when she heard it.

"So, the fox demon is really the girl who died? Could it be that she is not dead?" She racked her brains to think, and finally opened her tightly closed lips, "This is impossible. I obviously tested her back then. dead body, she can't be alive!"

"But the village chief..."

"Maybe it's a mistake. He's so old, and four years have passed, he shouldn't recognize a girl he's only met a few times."

"The only way now is--DNA identification." Doctor Ma seemed to have made up his mind to figure out the mystery, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I think the inspection report back then is still with the forensic department. The hair of the demon or something else can be compared with the DNA in the blood of the year. I don't believe that the fox demon has the ability to escape scientific forensics."

"But, it's hard to do, isn't it? The fox demon won't let people get close easily. Her mansion is often guarded by villagers."

We chatted all the way back to the hotel.As soon as he entered the door, he met Mu Xiao who was about to go to the hot spring.The two looked at each other for half a second, and finally Mu Xiao, who was holding the washbasin, asked hesitantly, "Are you... Ma Xiaoling?"

Doctor Ma pointed at Mu Xiao in surprise: "You are Mu Xiao! Long time no see!"

"That's right!" Mu Xiao nodded awkwardly, blushing.

The two long-lost friends embraced each other emotionally.I then introduced her to the other tenants of the hotel.

During dinner, Doctor Ma told me that she and Mu Xiao used to be classmates in the medical university, but in the third year of junior year, Mu Xiao, who was from a poor family, could no longer pay the high university tuition fees, so he had to drop out of school.I heard that Mu Xiao's grades in the medical university were among the best. If his father hadn't suddenly become seriously ill, he would have continued to study.

"Maybe I will become a forensic doctor like me. Back then, the three of us made a promise together to eliminate all the evils in the world..." Speaking of this, the Doctor stopped suddenly, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes under his eyelashes. Tore apart the shadows of sorrow.

I noticed her sad look and didn't know what to say.At this time, Mu Xiao helped Huang Wanwan down the stairs.Before they were seated, Lao Zhang came in from the door and said to us, "Master Fox Demon wants to see you."

"Exactly, I want to meet her too!" Officer Li, who was sitting next to us, replied angrily.He took a shower for a long time before he washed off the mud on his body. It was the time when he had nowhere to vent his anger, "Playing like a ghost! If you have the ability to make the fox catch my bullet!" He patted the pistol on his waist, Huo Di He stood up, as if he couldn't wait to settle accounts with the fox demon.

"Then let's go together."

At this time, the mansion of the fox demon was more gloomy and gloomy than in the afternoon.There was no electric light in the room, only a few oil lamps were lit.It was pitch black outside the window, and the wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a crackling sound.The fox demon is still hiding behind the sandalwood screen.

As soon as we came in and sat down, she smiled and said, "How is it? Is my thousand-mile killing fun?" She seemed to regard it as a game.

Huang Wanwan, who was weak, exhausted all his strength at this time, and shouted hysterically: "Why did you kill my Zhunu, why?"However, he did not follow up, just sat and questioned loudly.

After all, no one would dare to act rashly until they figured out the reality of the fox demon.

"Why?" The fox demon's voice came faintly from behind the screen, and the syllables were cold.She asked mockingly, "Is there a reason to kill someone?"

do you need?It is true that there is a motive for killing in most murder cases, nothing more than killing for love, killing for vendetta, killing for money... But this does not mean that there must be a motive for killing.Just imagine, in the nationwide massacre in the kindergarten, which nerves did the children who were brutally murdered offend the murderer?

No one said anything.Everyone was contemplating, and their faces looked particularly dignified in the dim light of the oil lamp.I took a deep breath, and the Doctor who was sitting next to me leaned forward and summoned up the courage to ask, "Are you really a fox demon?"

"Haha!" There was another laugh from behind the screen, she said, "It seems that you are still doubting my ability. Then let you see it again."

"You don't want to kill again, do you?" Since seeing the so-called "magic power" of the fox demon in the afternoon, people have been killed.Therefore, it's no wonder that Xia Zao'an looked terrified at this moment, as if she wanted to run away from the door.

Our hearts were also tightened. Everyone held our breath and looked at each other. The atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed to crush our shoulders.

"Don't worry, my mana is not only for killing, I can also predict the past and the future." The voice behind the screen said.

"Predict the future? How?" Cheng Meini acted bolder than Xia Zao'an, as if she was not at all worried about becoming the second victim.

"Old Zhang, come in."

Hearing the fox demon's order, Lao Zhang, who had been waiting outside the house, walked in respectfully.

"Remove the screen."

As soon as these words came out, all of us opened our eyes nervously, staring behind the screen that was slowly moving away, with an uncontrollable excitement and fear in our hearts.The fox demon is finally about to show his true colors!

Finally, a girl in a school uniform appeared in front of everyone. She was a pretty girl, completely different from the vicious look she had imagined.The only thing that makes people feel evil is her pair of gloomy eyes.She stared at us without blinking, as if to see through all our inner thoughts.

"It's...it's you?" Doctor Ma was taken aback, his face turned pale, "Are you really Tang Ziyun?"

"Is this a question?" The fox demon smiled strangely, "The answer is already in your heart, isn't it? Ma Xiaoling."

Doctor Ma trembled in shock: "How do you know my name?"

"I know everything." Fox demon narrowed her eyes lightly, wondering if she was looking at people, she said calmly, "I said, I know everything about you, including your past and future. Still doubting my mana, aren't you?"

This is true, but no one said anything.At this time, it seems that nothing is appropriate.

I saw the fox demon whispering something to Lao Zhang, and then he left the house immediately.After a while, he came back with seven envelopes.

"Please write a noun on the white paper," the fox demon said to us, "and put it in an envelope. I will measure your past and future based on the words you wrote."

"Noun? What kind of noun?" I asked.

"Person's name, date, or other objects, as long as they are nouns, it's fine."

"No matter how many words?"

"Well, no matter how many words. Remember, it must be a noun, and it must be something you expect in your heart. And I don't need to open the envelope to know what word you wrote."

"Really? Then I want to try!" Xia Zaoan was eager to try, as if she was about to write something earth-shattering.

I am full of doubts about the fox demon's words.Can we really see what we wrote without opening the envelope?This is impossible, right?Unless some kind of trick is used...

I checked the envelope carefully.The paper is so thick that it is by no means see through with the naked eye, and there is no interlayer inside.In short, at first glance, it is an ordinary envelope, and so is the white paper.The pens used for writing are all prepared by ourselves, and it is impossible to tamper with this aspect.Well, maybe put a pinhole camera or something around, and be able to peek at what we've written.Thinking of this, I tried my best to cover the words I wrote with my hands.Everyone is also aware of this, and they are very careful when writing.

After writing, we folded the white paper and put it in the envelope.I deliberately folded several layers and sealed the envelope with glue.Lao Zhang handed them in, and the envelopes were neatly placed on the floor in front of the fox demon.

"You go out." The fox waved his hands coldly, and Lao Zhang left the room without saying anything.

"So, let's start now." Her eyes rested on us one by one.She didn't look at the envelope, but perhaps stole a glance.Her mouth finally moved, and her gaze settled on Huang Wanwan.

"Huang Wanwan, what you wrote is a date, October 10th. On this day, you will get everything you dream of."

"You... how do you know?" Huang Wanwan asked with rounded eyes.

The fox demon continued: "However, October 10th is also the day you are most afraid of, because it is on this day..."
