Chapter 63 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (22)
It's time, the fox demon thought.She heard the electronic watch in her pocket beep, the sound that sounded the prologue to the trick.She laughed from the bottom of her heart.This smile clearly moved the muscles at the corners of her mouth. Most of the villagers by the altar saw her smile, and they responded with a terrified expression.

"Here it comes, the weapon from the universe..." She paused for a few seconds, knowing that it was not an easy task to make a fuse work on time and accurately.For this reason, she and her companions have painstakingly tried many times, and finally reduced the error to within a few minutes.This time, it was only 1 minute late, and the corner of the fox demon's eyes caught the cluster of rapidly burning flames, "There!" The fox demon suddenly pointed his hands that were raised up to the sky in a certain direction.

The eyes of the villagers seemed to be hooked away, fixedly watching a huge ball of fire that suddenly appeared on the mountainside, until someone was the first to shout: "It's on fire!" Then there were screams one after another.

"Hurry up and put out the fire! If the wildfire spreads, it will be terrible!"

"Call the fire department!"

"It's useless, the phone can't be made, and the mountain road into the village has not been opened."

After a few minutes of panic, the villagers finally came to their senses.

"Everyone, go home and get buckets, and go to the river to carry water to put out the fire!"

Soon, the people around the altar ran away, leaving only the fox demon standing alone on the deserted altar.She looked up at the mountain fire that was burning more and more vigorously, and when she looked up a little bit, she saw several flames approaching the fireball from the top of the mountain in a hurry.

The first person to discover the fireball was Saiki.After shouting, all six of us found out that the location seemed to be the place we had just passed.

On the way down, we met the fox demon stone statue again.That was the path we walked before, and a huge fireball was burning not far from the fox demon stone statue.Next to the fireball, there was a corpse being swallowed by the flames.The corpse was face down, and the second black invitation letter that fell beside it was burning, emitting faint blue flames.The air was filled with a burnt smell.

"Ah! He's dead!" With the end of the scream, Xia Zao'an leaned into Qi Mu's arms and passed out again.

"It's a meteorite!" Mu Xiao looked at the fireball in front of him uncertainly. It was a big rock weighing at least a few tons. "Could this be the murder weapon from the universe that the fox demon said?"

"It's really... too exaggerated!" I have to admit, it's really unbelievable that the fox demon can even use meteorites.I raised my head, and the night sky above the forest was so dark that I couldn't see a single star.

The fire was burning hotter and hotter, waves of heat hit us, and the burned saplings made crackling and crackling sounds.The fire was getting bigger and bigger. If the body that fell beside the meteorite was not pulled out in time, it might be burnt to charcoal, which would bring greater difficulty to the forensic work.After discussing with the three boys, we braved the scorching flames and prepared to pull the corpse to a safe place.

Just as we walked over cautiously, a black figure suddenly jumped out from the corner and fled to the other side in a panic.The fire clearly illuminated the man's back, and that guy was obviously a hooded monster.

Suddenly, a few figures ran out from the other side of the fire scene, they were villagers carrying buckets.When they met the hooded man, the two sides were stunned, and the hooded man hurried past them.The villagers who came to fight the fire ignored him and hurriedly poured the water in the bucket into the fire, turned around and ran down the mountain again. Afterwards, more and more villagers came with buckets full of water.After working for a long time, the fire did not decrease. It seemed that manpower alone could not stop the fire.

"It is coming!" Cheng Meini's sudden cry caught everyone's attention.

We looked towards her and saw her pointing at the night sky, and immediately, a huge black shape appeared directly above our heads, accompanied by a deafening hum.

"What is it..." I just asked, but I was immediately drenched by the torrent of water falling from the sky.

Everyone except Cheng Meini suffered.Cheng Meini laughed bluntly: "Haha...it's the firefighting helicopter!"

"Straight...helicopter?" I wiped the water off my face.

Cheng Meini immediately reminded: "Be careful!" We were drenched in the flood again without realizing it.

"Wow!" Good morning Xia, no, Edison was also woken up by the splash and jumped up from the ground. "Where's the helicopter?" he called, running to safety before looking up into the sky.

As soon as one helicopter left, another helicopter quickly came to supplement it. The buzzing sound was endless, and the huge airflow generated by the propeller seemed to uproot the trees.

"I called them to put out the fire!" Cheng Meini said.

"The fire brigade in this county has so many advanced fire helicopters?"

"No, No, you're wrong, this is my private helicopter."

I just remembered that when I ran down the mountain just now, there was a buzzing sound in the distance.

"Wait...how did you contact your private helicopter? Aren't our cell phones out here?"

"Because mine is a satellite phone." Cheng Meini told us that her family owns an overseas telecommunications company, and her mobile phone is connected to a private satellite that is currently orbiting the earth. Naturally, the communication function is not ordinary mobile phone Comparable.

"Then why didn't you use it to call the police last time?!"

"I don't communicate with outsiders on this call." The young lady Cheng Meini answered in such a natural tone.

But it was really thanks to her fire helicopters that the wildfire was extinguished.The boulder lying across the path began to cool down, emitting bursts of white smoke.Some trees were so charred that only black branches stretched towards the sky.

The sweaty, disheveled villagers stared at the scene in front of them with incredible expressions.No one dared to take a step closer to the big rock, and their wide-open eyes showed indescribable fear.

"What Master Fox Demon said is true! A murder weapon really fell from the sky!"

"We can't question Master Fox Demon anymore, otherwise we will suffer too!"

Those villagers who still had doubts about the magic power of the fox demon were completely convinced at this time.Because this boulder is the best proof, no one can explain why it appeared here out of thin air.Edison walked back and forth along the boulder, also looking puzzled.Although he is a thoughtful and intelligent figure, this big rock has become a puzzle that is difficult to solve as if it mocked him.

"When we went up the mountain, we didn't see this big rock. It was so conspicuous that we couldn't ignore it. It appeared in just 10 minutes. What kind of trick did the murderer use?" He analyzed and thought with.

"Isn't this a meteorite? It fell from the sky!" After Mu Xiaogang finished speaking, he was immediately denied by Edison: "No, this is not a meteorite. The so-called meteorite is an unburned cosmic meteor outside the earth. It was formed by deviating from its original orbit or falling into fragments on the earth. It burned through the atmosphere at a high speed, and its surface temperature reached several thousand degrees. However, this wildfire is just a very ordinary fire, and the temperature is far from that high. Moreover, There are two main features on the surface of the meteorite, the fusion crust and the gas imprint, which cannot be seen at all on this large rock."

A professional inference came out of the mouth of this high school girl, and the others were stunned.

"But, how did this big rock catch fire?" Qi Mu asked.

"It's a very low-level method." Edison smiled disdainfully, "It's just pouring gasoline around the stone. Although the murderer wanted to fake the appearance of a meteorite falling, he failed... No, or he thought that even if he was recognized It doesn’t matter if it’s a fake meteorite.”

"He did it on purpose?"

"Maybe." Edison's frown did not relax, "The question is, how did the murderer get this big rock. Such a big rock requires at least a dozen people to move it. How can such a heavy project be able to move?" It was done in 10 minutes, which is unbelievable."

"Is there some kind of tool used?" I also joined the discussion.

"Like?" Edison asked, staring at me.

I said, "Like an airplane or something."

"It is true that, apart from manpower, it is easier and quicker to transport it by plane. However, we did not find the plane before the fire. As we have just seen, its flight will make a lot of noise. We don't know It may be overlooked. Now, the most likely situation is that this big rock was originally hidden somewhere on the path, and after we go up the mountain, someone will move it here."

"if it is like this……"

I felt that this possibility was not high, and then Edison took my words: "In this way, the murderer is not a single person, but a group of people. After all, it is not possible for one person to move the boulder. I I don't think this is very likely, because all the villagers were at the altar at that time. If so many people were absent, they would have been discovered. According to my judgment, the murderer has always committed the crime alone. He is a criminal with extremely high intelligence. Damn it! He suddenly cursed in frustration, "Who the hell is that guy?"

He seemed very angry, but in the next few seconds, his attitude changed 180 degrees.He actually smiled cheerfully: "Interesting, interesting! I haven't met such an opponent for a long time!"

Moody freak!I wonder.

The Doctor behind me pursed his lips, a trace of doubt flitted across his face.
