Chapter 64 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (23)
It looks like that person!The female high school student in front of her was almost like a replica of that person.The tone of voice, demeanor, and even those sharp eyes... The face and laughter of that person suddenly emerged from memory, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake that person out of her mind, far away, However, this cannot change the fact that she misses him deeply.

Loving someone is like putting him into a puzzle of life.One day, he left, and her life was crippled ever since.

The body was face down so it was not destroyed by the fire.From his appearance, he could tell that it was Police Officer Li, and his nose had been cut off just like the legend of the fox demon.

According to Doctor Ma's examination of the body, the cause of death was fatal wounds caused by stabbing with a sharp knife.Although the body was under the boulder, there was no trace of a wound from being smashed, and the murderer didn't even bother to disguise the body as being crushed to death by the boulder.Perhaps, as Edison said, the murderer didn't need to do more camouflage work on the scene, and the big rock like "flying fairy" was enough to make people think about it.

The crime time is between eleven o'clock in the evening and one o'clock in the morning, just before and after the sacrifice.The fire destroyed all evidence, and the body could not tell us who killed him, leaving only a problem as huge as a meteorite waiting for us to solve.

How did the murderer make a huge stone weighing several tons appear in an instant?

Edison once speculated on the psychological state of the murderer in this way.He thought the murderer was a very confident guy who could devise a perfect trick in a very short time.Sometimes, he will deliberately let people find flaws.For example, in the trick of killing people with meteorites, he made it clear that he wanted people to know that it was an illusion, but no one could solve the mystery, even Edison was helpless about it.

On the way down from the mountain, he sighed from time to time. I rarely saw him in such a troubled state.His eyes would light up suddenly, as if thinking of some clue, but then quickly dimmed after a few seconds.

Walking out of the intersection into the mountain, we checked the time, and it has been more than two hours.It was very late at night, and the villagers walked ahead one after another. The moonlight shone on the fields and the sleeping villages, presenting a different kind of tranquility.

Cheng Meini put her head on my shoulder like a child as she walked, and seemed to be asleep.

I said, "Let's go find the Hooded Man first."

Cheng Meini raised her head and saw that my face was facing Edison, so she resumed the posture of being attached to me.Seeing her satisfied expression, it seems that I am quite qualified as a pillow.

Edison turned away from his contemplation: "Looking for the Hooded Man?"

"Did you forget? When some of us boys went to pull the corpse out of the fire, we saw the hooded monster there."

"Really?" Edison obviously didn't have this memory, maybe it was because Xia Zaoan had already fainted at that moment.Now he was very excited, "You mean, the hooded man is hiding at the scene of the crime?"

"That's right. Qi Mu and Mu Xiao also saw it, right?"

The two of them nodded together, and Doctor Ma said that she saw it too.

"Then he is the biggest suspect, let's go back to the hotel."

Edison picked up his pace, almost running, and we followed suit.

As soon as he arrived outside the hotel door, a figure rushed out in a panic.The Hooded Man is carrying a big sack and seems to be planning to escape from here.

"Don't try to run!" The few of us immediately dispersed to block his escape route.As a last resort, the hooded man withdrew back to the hotel.

"Don't come here, otherwise, I'm not welcome." The hooded man took out a knife and waved it in front of us.He roared loudly, but his tone was more frightening than ours.

"You can't escape!" Edison stepped forward without fear.

"Hey! I told you not to come here!" The hooded man was completely suppressed by Edison's momentum.He retreated further and further, and finally ran up the stairs to the second floor.There was no back door to this inn, and at this moment, a door opened behind him.

"What's the noise!" Huang Wanwan rubbed his sleepy eyes and yelled, a sharp knife flashed in front of his eyes, and his throat was blocked.

"You...what do you want to do, don't mess around..." Huang Wanwan's face turned ashen, his feet trembled, and he lost all sleepiness.

"Boss!" Mu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, but was immediately stopped by the hooded man.

"Don't come here! You all get out of the way, otherwise, I will kill this fat man!"

"It's okay to get out of the way, but you still can't escape." Edison advised the other party earnestly, "Now that the mountain road has not been opened, how do you escape from this village? I advise you to be obedient and catch it with nothing. Be honest and be lenient, tell me." How did you kill Officer Li!" He folded his hands on his chest, making a posture of listening attentively.

"No!" The Hooded Man roared angrily, "I didn't kill that policeman!"

"Oh?" Edison wasn't surprised at all, "Since you didn't kill anyone, why did you run? Besides, why were you at the scene of the crime?"

"I went there... because I saw the fire, so I rushed over to see what happened. I wanted to run because I was afraid of being misunderstood by you!"

"Sounds reasonable." Edison said, "Did you see any suspicious figures on the road?"

"No."

"No fire or flashlight or anything?"

"No."

"That's a pity. It shows that there was a high possibility that you were the only one on the mountainside at that time." Although Edison was sighing, there was a smile that others could not guess.

And this analysis greatly stimulated the hooded man, he immediately yelled loudly: "I knew it, you wouldn't believe me, but I'm not a murderer! Get out of the way, you all get out of the way, otherwise, I'll kill this fat man! "

"Wait a minute," Edison's expression didn't tell whether he wanted to block or give way, he still stood where he was, and said unhurriedly, "If you want to escape or kill, please do whatever you want. However, there is a problem I have to figure out. Huang Wanwan..." He had something to ask Huang Wanwan, but this rich man was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he could hardly stand up.

"What... what?"

"I want to ask you, why do you want to go to the mountains?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't go to the mountains at all." Huang Wanwan's eyes were fixed on the blade only two or three centimeters away from his throat.He couldn't understand why this idiot high school girl was acting like a great detective now.

"But, you are not at the altar tonight!" Edison asked persistently.

Huang Wanwan was already very annoyed: "I'm sleepy, so I'll go back to sleep first, I don't know what happened. Get out of the way, you guys, or this bastard... this big brother will really kill me !"

"One last question," Edison said, holding up a finger.His slow-moving attitude almost made Hooded Man and Huang Wanwan want to hit the wall.

"Go away!" The hooded monster's mental state seemed to be on the verge of collapse.We were all a little worried, so we stepped aside.Edison was fine, he still stood in front regardless, insisting on figuring out the doubts in his mind.

He asked: "Hooded freak, it's really unavoidable to call you like this, because we don't know your real identity. Although you wrote Gao Donghai in the hotel register, I don't think this should be your real name." .who are you?"

"You can't control it!"

"Then let me guess." Edison smiled, stroking his chin with his fingers and nodding frequently, "I have always wondered why you wear a hood? There may be two reasons, one, you are an ugly monster .”

"Ha!" Hearing the reason, Cheng Meini immediately covered her mouth and snickered.

Seeing that the hooded man didn't respond, Edison continued to analyze: "Another thing...you have a reason why people must not see your true face. Once the people in this village see you, they will recognize your identity. And you Your identity is obviously not above board. You may have done something bad or been involved in some incident."

Under Edison's sharp gaze, the Hooded Man remained unmoved.

"I think you should be related to the case four years ago. Are you one of the five dead, or the boy who was once regarded as a suspect by the police?"

These words finally had an impact on the hooded man, and his body trembled involuntarily.If you take off the hood, you can see how shocked his face is.He couldn't believe that a high school girl could easily guess his identity.

That's right, he was the sixth student who survived that year - Guo Nan.

Despite being guessed by the other party, Guo Nan still does not intend to reveal the answer.That girl was just guessing, without any solid evidence.But he saw Edison smiling, it was a smile that he knew clearly.

"Quick...quickly get out of the way!" The hooded monster waved his hands holding the knife in the air.

This time, Edison stepped aside readily.

The hooded man successfully took Huang Wanwan down to the second floor.The villagers who rushed over had no experience in this kind of thing, and gave way with panicked expressions.After the hooded man left the hotel, we chased him out.

Huang Wanwan sat paralyzed on the road not far from the hotel, and that figure had already disappeared into the deep night.

The sound of "buzzing" is like a huge bee hovering in the sky.The fox demon raised her head, only to see a helicopter descending slowly in her line of sight.Tilting slightly, the sound of the high-speed rotation of the wings quieted down, and the helicopter seemed to stop at the open space at the entrance of the village.Depending on the situation, someone is coming.
