Chapter 74 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (33)
"Hahaha, Lao Zhang has already gone to hell. However, he will come back!" The fox demon was proud of her trick.

"No, Lao Zhang just hid it. This can't fool me." Edison refused to admit such absurd things.

The fox demon is not afraid of his doubts. Obviously, the mystery of the trick is not just the person who suddenly disappeared, but—"Didn't you see it? There is Lao Zhang's blood everywhere in this room. If he didn't It’s impossible to shed so much blood when you’re dead.”

"Maybe it's chicken blood or cow blood!" Doctor Ma said, "It's just to disturb our sight."

"Hey!" The fox sneered shortly, "Do you think my spells are so low-level? Just take the blood and test it. I can assure you that the blood is all from Zhang."

"You killed him?" Doctor Ma asked.

The fox demon glanced at her quickly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on her red lips: "He will come back to life. Tonight, he will bring a message from the village chief, and then we will know who killed the village chief. The murderer." After speaking, she flicked the sleeves of her white robe, turned and left.

Edison walked over and dipped his fingers in the blood that had splattered on the floor.He noticed something, and then asked a very strange question: "The weather is very hot today."

It's very hot, the weather forecast says it will be 34 degrees today, but what does this have to do with the case?
Mosquitoes buzzing around me was disturbing.

With a "snap", I slapped my thigh hard again: "I killed another one!"

The record tonight can be considered brilliant, at least one company of mosquitoes died under my iron palm.But the mosquitoes are still thousands of troops, eyeing the rich blood resources on us.

Cheng Meini couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted affectionately: "Honey! How long do we have to wait?" She was also frightened by the indiscriminate bombardment of mosquitoes.

After all, she is also a rich lady, but now she is in the bush with my cat, enduring the sweltering heat at night and the nuisance of mosquitoes.

"Or, you go back first!"

Originally, this was my personal mission, and Cheng Meini insisted on coming along with me.

"No, I will stay with you." She then asked, "But what are we waiting for here?"

"I don't know." I was confused about the purpose of this mission, so I could only shake my head.

It was Edison who ordered me to stay outside the wooden house.Today, Lao Zhang ran into that wooden house and disappeared. Maybe Edison thought that Lao Zhang or the murderer would come out of it.But at that time we searched the wooden house thoroughly, and found no place to hide people at all.

Where else could the murderer be hiding?Or, where is Lao Zhang's body hidden?
The reason why the word "corpse" was used was because after dinner, the test results came from the forensics department.This time they were very fast, and the test results confirmed that the blood in the wooden house was indeed Lao Zhang's.In other words, Lao Zhang has been killed.Although no body could be found, the blood all over the room proved his death.

"I said..." Cheng Meini felt that waiting was too boring, so she kept stirring up the topic. This time she talked about Edison, "That summer morning is very strange. She is usually stupid, and she becomes a murderer whenever there is a murder. Great detective."

This kind of thing is still easy to arouse suspicion.I kept telling the same lie: "Didn't I tell you? She was mentally ill, so sometimes she fantasized that she was Edison, the great inventor."

"That's what I said, but when she was Edison, she seemed to be smarter!"

"Well... Maybe she is very smart."

This lie has gone too far.I had no choice but to think that Xia Zao'an was a well-known "big-breasted and brainless" beauty in Xiangyun Middle School.

"Really? I really can't tell!" Cheng Meini sighed repeatedly.

She seemed to ask something, and I was a little overwhelmed.Fortunately, at this time——

"Ah!" I whispered.

"What?"

Cheng Meini's voice was too loud, so I quickly covered her mouth.I saw the figure who had just slipped out of the wooden house looking furtively towards the bushes where we were hiding, and we remained motionless.Under the moonlight, we vaguely recognized that it was Lao Zhang's face.

He didn't notice us, so he left the wooden house quickly and walked towards the fox demon's mansion.

I didn't let go until he walked away, and Cheng Meini gasped as if she was rescued immediately, and asked at the same time, "Huh? Didn't you say he died?"

"I don't know that either."

From what we can see now, Edison guessed that Lao Zhang hadn't left the cabin, but just hid in a place we couldn't find.

However, since he is not dead, how can the blood all over the room be explained?
We got into the cabin and looked around with the flashlights in our hands.

Strange, there really is no hiding place.I was thinking about it, and suddenly Cheng Meini shouted excitedly: "Ah! I found it!"

When she was arranging her hair, she accidentally saw the ceiling.The beam of the flashlight revealed a square hole in the ceiling, with traces of rope rubbing along the edge.We kept looking for it, but we just missed the ceiling.

"Go back and tell love...everyone!"

We hurried back.It took us some time to search the wooden house. When we returned to the village, we found that the Fox Demon Mansion was noisy, as if something serious had happened.As soon as we walked over, the villagers held torches and came towards us in groups, which made people unable to avoid it.

The firelight illuminated a man who was tied up in a row, and when I looked closely, my jaw was about to drop.

Good morning summer!
"Burn her to death! Burn her to death!" the villagers shouted passionately holding torches.

Xia Zaoan was tied tightly like a hairy crab, unable to move.She shook her head desperately, wanted to say something but couldn't speak because her mouth was gagged, and there was an expression of intense fear on her face.

what happened?We were dumbfounded and overwhelmed.

"Burn her! Burn her!" The villagers shouted through the night.

About 10 minutes ago.

While we were still in the wooden house, a figure quietly crept under the room of the mansion.There is a gap of half a meter between the wooden house and the foundation, which can accommodate a person barely getting in.The man climbed carefully to the predetermined position, quietly waiting for the time to come.Directly above him, where the fox demon was sitting, he could clearly hear what she was saying.

This evening, the villagers were called to the mansion to witness his and her resurrection.However, Lao Zhang miscalculated.He is just another pawn.What awaits him is not resurrection, but real death.

The fox demon spread a rectangular black cloth on the floor, and the resurrection ceremony began.The villagers held their breath and widened their eyes uneasily.Standing with them are Doctor Ma, Uncle Meng Jin, and Xia Zaoan—Edison usually doesn't wake up for too long.

The fox demon called out Lao Zhang's name in a strange voice.

"Come back! Come back!" She waved her hands above the black cloth, like a magician performing a gesture on TV.

At first, Hei Bu didn't move.Lao Zhang, who was waiting under the floor, turned on the mechanism—the board under the black cloth could be raised and lowered by itself, which is why the fox demon disappeared out of thin air behind the screen.Lao Zhang lay on it, and as the plank rose, the black cloth slowly bulged up.The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy, and people's uneasiness grew little by little with the height of the black cloth.When the fox demon lifted the black cloth to reveal Lao Zhang lying on the floor, the villagers were so shocked that they almost forgot to breathe.

In the eyes of the villagers, this is the resurrection of the dead.

The fox demon was satisfied to see the fear and sincerity of the villagers.Although the eyes of Doctor Ma and the others still had doubts, it didn't matter anymore, because the people the fox demon wanted to deceive were not them, but the villagers.She wants to use the villagers to do something for her.

She bowed her head, as if listening to Lao Zhang.The villagers also saw Lao Zhang's mouth opening and closing.This means that he is alive.Realizing this, panic swept over most people more quickly.They couldn't see through the tricks of the fox demon and Lao Zhang at all. What they saw was that the fox demon spread the black cloth on Lao Zhang's body, and then the black cloth fell down again, leaving nothing.

Lao Zhang disappeared!
"Fox...Master Fox Demon!" A middle-aged villager shrank his jaw nervously, and asked in fear, "Old Zhang... What did Lao Zhang just say?"

"He just revealed who the murderer of the village chief is, and that murderer is here now. We must burn her to death, otherwise, she will bring bad luck to this village!"

"Ah!" A burst of fear passed through the hearts of the villagers like a gust of wind.

"If you don't burn the murderer to death, your village will be in great trouble." The fox demon emphasized again.

Immediately the villagers murmured uneasily.There are only two choices before them: either burn the murderer to death, or doom the village.The consequences of burning the murderer in front of the police can be imagined, and this will be severely punished by the law.But if this is not done, everyone in the village is at risk of suffering.Anyone who has seen the magic power of the fox demon knows that this kind of misfortune may be death.

Although everyone did not speak, it seemed that a consensus had been formed in silence.

The leading villager asked with a pale face, "Who is the murderer?"

These words got into the ears of Lao Zhang who was hiding under the floor.He laughed sinisterly at once.

Ha ha!The murderer is Cheng Meini!Burn her with fire!This is what he and the fox demon have agreed to say.Taking this opportunity to get rid of Cheng Meini, what a trick to kill with a knife!

Immediately afterwards, what the fox demon said surprised Lao Zhang.
