Chapter 76 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (35)
However, the man patted her hard again.Then, a figure emerged from the ground nimbly.She took a closer look and found that it was Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao removed the cloth covering her mouth, and quickly made a shush gesture before she could speak: "Shut up, follow me."

How to escape from the fire?Xia Zao'an was surprised to see that there was a hole in the ground, and that was where Mu Xiao got in just now.

Xia Zao'an felt very strange. Mu Xiao saw through the doubts in her heart, but it was too late to explain: "Let's go out first."

They then managed to escape the scene through the tunnel before the house collapsed.Near the path leading to the stone statue of the fox demon at the entrance of the tunnel.After getting out of the hole, Xia Zao'an looked back and saw that the fire was far away from her, so she sat on the ground weakly and wept.

Mu Xiao knelt down to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's all right."

"Woooo-"

As soon as she cried, Mu Xiao nervously stopped her: "If someone else hears it, you will be caught as a roast pig again!"

Xia Zao'an was so frightened that she hurriedly shut up.She asked quietly: "Brother Mu Xiao, how do you know there is a tunnel there?"

"I discovered it by accident a few days ago, and I don't know who dug it out, but it just came in handy today."

"Yes! Yes! If it weren't for you, Mu Xiaoge, my life would have been lost long ago."

"Oh, you are unlucky too, to be regarded as a murderer by the villagers..."

Xia Zao'an quickly waved her hand to deny it: "I didn't do it! I didn't kill the village chief! I'm not the murderer!"

"I know. How could you be the murderer? When the village chief died, you were with us. Besides, Huang Mingzhu couldn't have been killed by you. When she died, you were on the same train as us. Therefore, you cannot be the murderer. But the question is, why did the fox demon frame you?"

"How do I know!" Xia Zaoan blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, "I know." She acted like a student solving a math problem, "It must be because I'm too pretty, so the fox demon is jealous of me and wants to kill me. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" " she wiped the corners of her eyes pitifully.

Mu Xiao's scalp was numb, and he fell sideways.

What time is this girl still joking?

No, it seems that she really thought that the fox demon was jealous of her beauty...

Mu Xiao secretly wiped his cold sweat.I heard that this high school girl is a great detective, but no matter how you look at it, she looks like... an idiot.

"Let's go, let's go back first." Mu Xiao left after speaking.

Xia Zao'an was getting up from the ground, but her hand touched a smooth, hard object hidden in the soil.what is it then?She picked it up and wiped off the soil.Under the moonlight, that thing glowed with a dark green light.

It is a piece of jade pendant, and the workmanship is very delicate, it seems to be of great value.

Now make a fortune!Thinking of the white money, Xia Zao'an, who just felt very wronged, had already put all the unhappiness behind her.

Mu Xiao in front turned around and asked, "Hey, why don't you leave?"

"Yeah, I'll be here soon." Xia Zao'an joyfully put the jade pendant into her arms and followed.

Since Xia Zaoan was not burned to death, who did the corpse in the abandoned house belong to?
Before we went to investigate, things took a dramatic turn this morning.The fox summoned the villagers into the mansion, and told everyone with regret that the murderer who killed the village chief was not Xia Zao'an, but Lao Zhang himself.In order to mitigate his own crime, he shifted the responsibility to others.

"Don't worry, everyone," said the fox demon, "that nasty old Zhang has been completely sent to the [-]th floor of hell by me, and he will never be reborn. As for the high school girl named Xia Zaoan, she has been blessed by me and has gone well. Resurrected!"

To actually take credit for Xia Zao'an's escape, the fox demon is really despicable.

However, the villagers firmly believed in this, and they were all thankful that they did not burn an innocent girl to death.When Xia Zao'an appeared in front of everyone, these people surrendered more completely under the majesty of the fox demon.

Anyway, we finally figured out one thing, the corpse in the abandoned house belonged to Zhang.

According to Doctor Ma's examination, the cause of Lao Zhang's death was not burnt to death, but two fatal knife wounds on his body.That is to say, after the murderer killed Lao Zhang, he secretly put it in the abandoned house as a substitute for Xia Zaoan.

The real murderer didn't want to murder Xia Zaoan, so why did he arrange this drama?
Mu Xiao told us that the reason why he discovered the tunnel was because he happened to see Qi Mu catching foxes nearby, so he followed him. In the end, he didn't see Qi Mu, but he found this tunnel.

Judging from the situation, it seems to have something to do with Qi Mu.

When we asked him, he hesitated and finally admitted that he also knew the existence of this tunnel.

"However, I have never drilled in, so I don't know that the tunnel leads to the abandoned house." His tone of reply and eyes did not show any flaws.If it was really the tunnel he dug, and he was the murderer, why did he arrange such a play?
He used Xia Zaoan to burn Lao Zhang's body... There must be some reason.

As far as we know so far, Qi Mu is very suspicious.

He attended the same high school as the students who were killed four years earlier.It cannot be ruled out that he had some inextricable relationship with one of the deceased. Moreover, he often used the excuse of catching foxes to disappear, and was mysterious.Since the fox demon is fake, then the white fox he met couldn't be real either?

He only had an alibi in the second homicide of the flying stone, but Edison had deduced that the big rock had been there before.So anyone's alibi at the time wouldn't work.Having said that, when Xia Zaoan was sent to be burned last night, he didn't seem to be there.

This guy is suspicious.

Chapter [-] Evil Clone
Even though Qi Mu was listed as the number one suspect, the case is still shrouded in a thick fog.On the contrary, the engineering team in charge of opening the Jincun Mountain Road is working in full swing, and it will be fully opened in two or three days.At that time, if the suspect is not caught, he may escape.

The approach of time makes us anxious.

But Edison didn't wake up these two days, only a gold-worshiping girl who picked up the treasure looked at the jade pendant happily from morning till night.An old man in the village who knows how to appreciate jade told her that this jade pendant is a high-quality Hetian jade, which is very valuable.

That's good, Xia Zao'an almost treats it as a sweetheart, and even wants to feed it when eating, constantly whispering to it.

"Oh! Kiss you, my little one, I love you to death! Come on, give me a kiss!"

Who would believe that this girl is a famous detective?
I saw Uncle Meng Jin and Doctor Ma frowning slightly.So far, they still don't know that Edison and Xia Zaoan have nothing to do with each other... although in a sense they are indeed the same person.

"Okay, okay, put away your baby, let's eat first. Do you want us to spit out our dinner?" I knocked on the dining table and reminded her.

"What!" Xia Zaoan raised her eyebrows proudly, "I knew it, Mikaka, you are jealous that I am about to become a rich man. Don't worry, even if I become a rich woman, I will not forget you!"

Dizziness!Let this kind of person pick up the treasure!It doesn't make sense!
Cheng Meini seemed very interested in Yupei, so she asked Xia Zaoan to borrow it to have a look.

"Miss, do you like it? Read it as a friend, and I'll sell it to you at a friendly price!" Xia Zaoan took the opportunity to sell it.Cheng Meini didn't know if she really liked it, so she picked it up and looked at it carefully, and asked casually, "How much?"

Xia Zaoan held up a finger.

"Wow, 1000 yuan," I thought for a while and said, "it's pretty cheap."

"One thousand, you dead head!" Xia Zao'an gave the poor man two supercilious looks, "It's one million!"

I immediately fell off the chair and my butt hurt.

"One million? Or is it a friendship price? Talking about feelings with you, how much money will it hurt!" I struggled to get up from the ground.

Cheng Meini didn't care about the price, instead she said in blunt Chinese: "One million! It's so cheap!"

I fell again.These two cuties are clearly trying to throw me to death!
Unexpectedly, Xia Zaoan sighed heavily: "Oh!"

Why sigh if you can sell 100 million?I knew she was regretting not selling 1000 million.

As soon as I got up from the ground, Mu Xiao and Huang Wanwan came down from the second floor to have dinner.For some reason, Huang Wanwan stopped suddenly when he saw the jade pendant in Cheng Meini's hand.He let out a suppressed gasp that looked terribly frightening.Then, we saw his crazy behavior - he took the jade pendant in his hand without asking, stared at it with wide eyes, and his face became paler and paler.

"Where did you find this?" He asked Cheng Meini.But Yupei's owner is not her, so Cheng Meini can only shrug her shoulders and express that she has no comment.

"Hey! Hey! This jade pendant is mine!" Xia Zao'an desperately snatched it back, holding it tightly for fear of being snatched away.

"Sell it to me!" Huang Wanwan's eyes flashed fiercely, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times.

This nervous man almost frightened Xia Zao'an.She hid behind Doctor's horse with a terrified expression.

"This is mine, so I won't sell it to you."

"Make a price, how much will you be willing to sell?"

Since Huang Wanwan said so, of course Xia Zaoan spoke loudly.She still stretched out a finger: "1000 million!"

Ha ha!This time I didn't fall, but Uncle Meng Jin had an intimate contact with the floor with the chair and the floor.

"1000 million?" Huang Wanwan opened his mouth wide, unable to believe the numbers he heard.

Only Cheng Meini beside her was still nodding seriously, and said something exciting: "Yeah, 1000 million, so cheap!"
