Chapter 69 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (28)
"Master Fox Demon's primordial spirit is out of his body!" The attendants hurriedly followed the Fox Demon's previous instructions and waited around.

We exchanged glances and started to continue the journey we had interrupted for ten minutes.Behind us, the fox demon was still sitting cross-legged on the ground quietly.

That person should have enough time to act, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.The previous murder plan was very successful, but this time it was different, it was an accident.There are accidents in any plan, she didn't expect Cheng Yaojin, the village chief, to be killed halfway.He actually saw through the trick of the flying stone outside the sky, and even found out the murderer.As a result, the village head had to become the third victim. Although he was innocent, but... Thinking of this, the fox demon was filled with complicated feelings of guilt.She doesn't want innocent people to die because of this.

"Ah! Grandpa is there!" Doudou led us across the corner, and immediately shouted excitedly at the figure in front of him.This direction is exactly where the fox spirit was pointing before it came out of the body.A dark cloud passed over my mind.

"Grandpa!" Doudou shouted.

The man was 400 meters away from us, as if he didn't hear him, still leaning on crutches, he slowly turned around the front room, and soon disappeared.After that there is a slope.The slope connects to a field path.Due to the harvest days, there are no endless rice waves in the surrounding rice fields, only a few scarecrows inserted in the fields all the year round.Some bold sparrows flew down, looking for food carefully.

As soon as we walked down the slope, the sparrows in the field flew into panic.A person stood motionless on the small road in front of us. Judging from his back, this was the village chief who had just walked in front of us.

"Grandpa!" Doudou yelled and ran over happily.However, the figure remained motionless.

We are getting closer.As the angle moved, we saw that besides the village head, there was another person, but he was just covered by the body of the village head.

Who is that?
Another one, not human at all, but a scarecrow.It should be a scarecrow planted in the field, but now it is standing in front of the village chief.

A sense of foreboding quickly crept up our backs.Uncle Meng Jin noticed something and ran over first, his expression changed instantly.

"Don't let Doudou come over!" He said calmly.

We immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.Only Xia Zao'an was still confused, and ran up excitedly as if he had found a savior: "Village chief, village chief, it's great to find you! You need to help prove it! Woohoo, these people wronged me."

She put her hand on the village chief's shoulder.The village chief still didn't move, and the coat on his body naturally slipped to the ground.

"Village chief..." Xia Zao'an stretched her head, saw the village chief's miserable situation from the front, and immediately rolled her eyes, "Ah... I'm dizzy..." She fell down gracefully, posing on the ground in an exaggerated " "big".

The mayor is dead.The Scarecrow stuck a sharp knife into his chest.His body didn't fall down because of the scarecrow. The bright red blood was flowing down drop by drop, and the blood stain on the ground was constantly expanding.Not surprisingly, his mouth was also a bloody mess at the moment.

"What's wrong with grandpa? Why is he ignoring Doudou?" Doudou, who was being held by Cheng Meini, kept asking.We couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth.

Hateful murderer!I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, looking for something to vent my anger at this moment.I deeply hate the murderer, he is an out-and-out cold-blooded animal.How terrible it is for a person to be so devoid of conscience!Is human life small, humble, and worthless in the eyes of a murderer?When will this series of bloody and appalling events come to an end?What is the murderer's motive for killing?I scratched my hair, really hated myself for not being able to catch the murderer, and could only watch him continue to do evil.

The only hope now lies in Edison.He will find the murderer for sure!
"It looks like he was killed just now." Doctor Ma said to us after examining the body.

At this time, the third black invitation letter fell from the corpse, and when it was opened, the content inside was related to the out-of-body of the primordial spirit.Was it the soul of the fox demon attached to the scarecrow to commit the murder?It seems so on the surface, but we all know that this is an illusion created by the murderer.

But, the problem is——

"Where did the murderer go?" Uncle Meng Jin frowned, crossed his waist, and carefully observed the surrounding rice fields, "Unbelievable! The murderer seems to have disappeared."

Standing on the small road and looking around, the vision is very wide. It can be said that it is impossible to hide people within a range of 1000 meters.The empty wind passed through the whole field, and the straw hat on the scarecrow's head was quickly swept away by the wind and flew in the air.

"It's so bizarre."

Doctor Ma said: "The village head disappeared from our sight for only a dozen seconds. How did the murderer kill him and escape?"

This doubt weighed heavily on our hearts.It only took more than ten seconds to kill the village chief, and then disappeared without a trace in the open field. This is probably the essence of the soul out of body murder plan.The only person who can carry out this killing plan is the invisible soul.

Suddenly, a cold feeling crept up my back, and I felt goosebumps all over my body, and I looked around anxiously.A hand suddenly put on my shoulder, making me tremble with fright.

"What are you afraid of?" Edison woke up. He touched the back of his head, probably still not used to the fact that his head was hit every time he fainted.His attention quickly returned to the scene of the crime, and he glanced around, "What's going on here? How did the murderer escape?"

No one responded to his words, because we also want to know this question!
"Strange thing! Weird thing!" He muttered, and for some reason suddenly started to run.After running to the other side of the slope, he ran back again, always maintaining a galloping speed.He was a little out of breath from exhaustion, completely forgetting that this girl's body is not good at sports.Xia Zao'an was number one on the blacklist of physical education teachers.

"15 seconds!" He confirmed the time, "That is to say, the shortest time for the murderer to come here to kill the village chief is 15 seconds. But the actual murder time must be longer than this, plus the scarecrow, I guess it will take at least 30 seconds." Then he asked me, "How long has the village chief been out of your sight?"

"This..." Because I didn't notice this detail, I couldn't say it for a while.On the contrary, Doctor Ma is quite confident in timing, and replied for me: "It should be about 30 seconds."

"That is to say, the murderer has no time to escape. How did he disappear in front of us? It can be said that within a few hundred meters here, there is no hiding place at all. In this case, there is only one explanation."

"What is it?" we asked eagerly.

"The village chief committed suicide!"

"Impossible!" This time we said in unison.

Edison laughed at himself and said: "There is no absolute in everything, but I also think this possibility is unlikely. The village chief said that he knew who the murderer was, and it may be because of this sentence that the murderer moved to kill."

"You mean, the murderer is..." Uncle Meng Jin frowned thoughtfully.

"The murderer is most likely someone from the hotel. He heard what Doudou said to us."

"That is to say, the murderer is by our side?"

"There is a 90% possibility, and the other 10% is that the murderer knows from other channels that the village chief has identified the murderer."

"So who is the murderer?" I bowed my head in thought.

Among the people in the hotel, Doctor Ma, Xia Zaoan and I can certainly rule out the suspicion.As for Huang Wanwan and Mu Xiao, they had no time to commit crimes in the first case, except for the case of accomplices.In addition, there are Lao Zhang, An Xiaobao, Qi Mu, Cheng Meini, and don't forget the hooded monster who is still hiding somewhere.Qi Mu and Cheng Mei Ni were with us in the second case, and it seems that the suspicion can also be ruled out.Then, the remaining suspects are Lao Zhang, An Xiaobao and the Hooded Man.For some reason, I have no confidence in this reasoning of mine.

The murderer's methods are so clever, how can people easily deduce his identity?
More and more villagers gathered here.Everyone silently stared at the village head's body, with serious expressions on their faces.Some people are whispering.

"The village head died so badly."

"Sigh... If he obeyed Lord Fox Demon like us, he wouldn't be killed."

"I hope Lord Fox Demon won't take his anger out on our village because of this."

Among those crowd, there was a person who was smiling evilly in his heart: his soul was out of his body, it's lucky that Heart Q could come up with such a bizarre trick.

"It's weird!" the man heard the high school girl who was looking around say so.She was staring at the few scarecrows in the field who were watching all this indifferently.

I turned my face to Edison and asked him what he found?
"Those scarecrows are kind of weird."

"What's so strange?" I also looked over, only to see that the few scarecrows were similar to those often seen in the village.

"I always feel that something is wrong, as if something is missing?" He frowned, counting one, two, three, four.

"Hey!" Cheng Meini, who was standing behind with Doudou in her arms, noticed something, and suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "That guy!"

I saw a figure flashing past in the forest, it was a strange man with a hood.

"Hurry up!" Before the words finished, Uncle Meng Jin flew out like an arrow.

We followed closely and ran into the forest, with the back of the hooded monster in front of us.Like a cunning fox, he kept running through the woods, keeping us on the run.The chase game lasted less than 5 minutes before he completely escaped our sight.

"Damn it!" Uncle Meng Jin angrily kicked away a stone on the ground.
