Chapter 70 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (29)
Edison walked forward as if he was not disappointed at all.We are now on a small road.

"I'm afraid this is the path where the stone statue of the mountain god is enshrined." The memory of Xia Zao'an faintly popped up in Edison's mind.

This morning, Xia Zao'an met the village head here. There is a stone statue of the mountain god here.He took a few steps forward and found the stone statue.Another incomplete memory jumped out immediately, and the voice of the village chief echoed indistinctly in his mind.

The Secret of the Stone Statue!
That's right, that's what the village chief said at the time. What's the secret of the stone statue?

Edison immediately looked carefully at the stone statue of the mountain god sitting peacefully in the wooden fence.This stone statue was probably made at the same time as the fox demon stone statue. After years of baptism, it is rusty and moss is still growing on some parts.No matter how long you look at it, you can't see anything special about the stone statue.

What immediately caught Edison's attention was that the path...

"Have you noticed?" His face showed a vigilant expression like a hound, and his eyes scanned the surrounding scenery cautiously, "This path seems to be similar to the path of the fox demon stone statue."

A completely new high school girl, from silly to sharp, the disparity will arouse the curiosity of outsiders sooner or later.And we also noticed after he reminded us that although we came to this road for the first time, we felt a sense of familiarity.

"Could this be the path we passed up the mountain last night?"

What Edison said is not impossible.When we passed the path last night, it was too dark to take a good look at the surrounding scenery, so it is possible that we... no, that is impossible!I suddenly thought: "We did see the stone statue of the fox demon on the path we passed last night! If we walked this way, we should have seen the stone statue of the mountain god!"

The appearance of the stone statue of the mountain god and the stone statue of the fox demon is fundamentally different, and it is impossible for us to misread it.The mountain god is a peaceful and beautiful woman, but the fox demon is a vicious animal. How can you be wrong?

Edison didn't speak, but his eyes stopped suddenly, his eyes were half closed, black pupils came out from the slits, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he just didn't move.

"It seems that we are thinking in the wrong direction." He said with a long sigh of relief, as if he had solved a certain problem.

"What direction?"

"The big rock last night, we have been guessing how the murderer used about 10 minutes to move it. In fact, the big rock has not been moved at all."

"How come, we obviously..." Before I finished speaking, Edison stretched out a hand to stop me from continuing to speak.

He said: "That's right, that big rock has always been on the path of the fox demon stone statue. We took this path up the mountain, but we walked down the mountain by the path of the fox demon stone statue. The murderer created this illusion , let us think that the boulder fell from the sky. The path of the fox demon stone statue has always been deserted, and the murderer took a fancy to this, so he moved the boulder by helicopter in advance. Even if it is placed on that path, there is no need to worry about being discovered .”

"However," Doctor Ma couldn't help interrupting Edison's analysis, "even if your reasoning is correct, how do you explain the stone statue of the fox demon we saw when we went up the mountain?"

"This is the secret of the stone statue that the village chief said!"

"The secret of the stone statue?" The three of us looked at Edison in unison, "What is the secret?"

Edison shrugged: "I don't know either! The village chief didn't say anything. I think the village chief must have guessed the murderer's identity based on this secret, so he was silenced." Then, Edison walked to the stone statue of the mountain god Before, reach out and check the wooden fence.

Although the wooden fence is very old, it is not easy to be broken.Edison was like a hunting dog, with his nose exaggeratedly close to the wood, inspecting something meticulously.Soon, he looked disappointed again.Apparently, one of his reasonings was overturned by the evidence at the scene.

"There is no trace of the wooden fence being moved, that is to say, the stone statue of the mountain god has not been moved. I thought the murderer used a trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix to exchange the two stone statues. After all, moving one stone statue is better than moving that A boulder is much easier."

"Even if we move this stone statue, I'm afraid it won't work without two people." I guessed.

"Yes." Edison nodded in agreement with me. "Besides, the wooden fence here is not damaged at all, so the stone statue should not have been moved. This is strange. I bet that the murderer must have used these two roads." to create the illusion of a flying stone. The question is, how did he do it?"

He slowly calculated in his heart.This is a labyrinth, once inside, it is a long and winding dark tunnel.He had to sigh that the murderer who built this maze was a creepy clever character, every trick, every corner was interlocking, and he didn't know where he would be led.

"Oh... if only I knew the secret of the stone statue." Edison sighed, his voice full of frustration.

A figure flashed quickly into the bushes.

The hood freak turned his head with lingering fear, and saw that no one was chasing him, so he took off the hood with peace of mind.It was a handsome face.Dark hair, light facial features, transparent fair skin, such a handsome young man, it is difficult to connect him with the mysterious and evil figure in the impression of outsiders.

He took a deep breath, stood up straight, and looked around cautiously.Then he hugged a bunch of branches away, revealing a hole that was covered by bushes.This is his hiding place, and these days, he has been living here.He suddenly felt that it was a mistake to come here. Although he tried very hard to figure out why his friends disappeared four years ago, he found himself in the middle of a mysterious and dangerous mystery.Tang Ziyun actually became a fox demon... This thought made him feel a bone-deep chill spread all over his body.

Who is behind?He could feel that person's presence.The light hit the man's shadow at his feet, the hooded monster took a deep breath, and then suddenly picked up a not too thick branch.He turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Ah!" The hooded monster was stunned.

He saw himself, no, to be precise, it was another person disguised as himself, and he also wore a black hood.

The real hooded freak was so startled that his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.I saw another hooded geek laughing in a low voice, and pointed behind the hooded geek with his finger.The hooded man, who was covered in cold sweat, looked back, and his last nerve was crushed immediately, "Wow!" He passed out.

The fox demon was floating above his head, looking down at the fainted young man indifferently with the posture of dominating the world.Another hooded freak quickly tied up the lad.

The fox demon said worriedly: "Promise me, don't hurt him."

"No," said the fake hooded man. "I will not kill innocent people. The village chief is an exception. He knows that I am the murderer. If we don't kill him, our plan will fail. We can't die." , at least until those people are executed.”

The fox demon swiftly climbed down from the tree. There was a hidden fulcrum there, and the people standing below thought it was floating in the air.In order to do this, she trained for several months. Before that, she could not climb trees at all.Until that day, this person walked into her room and said to her who was lying on the bed: "Resurrect, it's time!"

Now, he said: "The fourth plan is about to start. There is not much time. Today is October 10, and there are 21 days before the 26th. At that time, my identity will be completely exposed."

"Why?" The fox demon was puzzled, "Isn't our plan perfect... Could it be that you will surrender yourself when the time comes?"

The man spread his hands: "No, there is no need for me to surrender, and everyone will know that I am the murderer."

"Why?" The fox demon really didn't understand now.

Although she and him are accomplices, she has no knowledge of the circumstances of the case and the modus operandi.He kept it a secret from her.

"At that time, a piece of evidence will appear to unlock all the secrets."

"What evidence?"

He suddenly looked at her: "We agreed that you can't know too much. The less you know, the better for you. After my identity is exposed, I will admit that I did everything. You just have to insist that you don't know anything about it." The police will not do anything to you. After that, you can go back and live with your parents, it has nothing to do with you. "

The fox demon sighed, was silent for a minute or two, and then said in a calm, calm voice: "You are a good person."

"No, I'm not a good person, I'm a heinous villain." He suddenly became irritable, and his body trembled violently. "I should be punished!" He gasped heavily, with a painful expression on his face, "However, I'm going to hell with those villains!"

This voice is the verdict for sin.

In a room of a building thousands of miles away in Guangzhou City, two staff members in white coats are intensively conducting forensic work.In the hot room, the air conditioner was blowing cold wind, and suddenly the door was pushed open with a "creak", and a man walked towards the two staff members while sipping coffee.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

One of them replied: "At the request of Doctor Ma, to test the DNA of the blood."

"Oh, it's Doctor Ma! How is she doing recently? I really don't understand why she suddenly quit her job here and went to work as a school nurse in some middle school."

"Yes. I asked her why and she refused to say, but it seems to be related to her fiancé."
