Chapter 77 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (36)
Xia Zaoan was very much looking forward to the success of this transaction, and joy jumped on her face: "1000 million, should I buy it or not?" She deliberately raised the jade pendant in her hand, Huang Wanwan's deep eyes stared straight at it Look, the eyes are so sharp that they seem to eat everything.The strong conviction and malice emanating from him pressed on us domineeringly.After a long silence, he sat down in his seat and ate dinner without saying a word.

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not?" Xia Zao'an was anxious.

But Huang Wanwan twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, and let out a cold mockery.

Stupid, what you want doesn't have to be bought with money!

When Xia Zaoan went to the hot spring with girls like Doctor Ma and Cheng Meini, a person sneaked into Xia Zaoan's room by himself.When Xia Zaoan comes back, she will see the forged note.

At twelve o'clock tonight, I have something to tell you when I go to the waterwheel—— Qi Mu.

After a while, Xia Zao'an walked back to her room with the washbasin in her hands.Just after taking a bath in the hot spring, she looked radiant and her cheeks were rosy.The important jade pendant was hanging dazzlingly on her chest.She won't be able to have it anytime soon, though.

In the middle of the night, the mountain village was silent.The moonlight pulls out a thin silver-white canvas on the field; crickets chirp in the grass; frogs squat on the green leaves, looking up at the night sky; the gurgling river sparkles, everything is so warm and beautiful.

The girl was standing by the waterwheel, picking her fingers nervously—Master Qi Mu must have wanted to confess his love to me by inviting me to such a place so late.What should I do later?How embarrassing!
In the dark place she couldn't see, a dark figure was approaching quietly.The girl was still pacing up and down affectionately, but the man finally seized the opportunity and rushed out.

"Wow!" The girl was frightened by the sudden black shadow and took a few steps back, almost falling into the water, "Is...is it Mr. Qi Mu?"

It seems not.Because the person who came was wearing a black hood.

It's the hooded man, what is he trying to do?Xia Zao'an involuntarily retreated, but there was a small river behind her, and there was no way out.The hooded monster blocked the way out of the waterwheel, and was pressing forward step by step.

"Hand over the jade pendant!" A sinister and vicious voice came from the hood, and he waved a knife in front of Xia Zao'an.

Xia Zao'an's eyes widened in horror: "What... what jade pendant?"

"Still pretending to be stupid? Just the jade pendant you picked up, which is worth 1000 million yuan! Give it to me quickly, otherwise, I will... I will be rude to you." Although the hooded man tried his best to pretend to be fierce, he His tone showed his fear at the moment.It seemed that he was also very scared.

Xia Zao'an held her chest tightly and said, "No... I... don't have any jade pendants..."

"You still want to lie to me?" The hooded man pulled her hand away, grabbed the red rope around her neck, pulled it hard, and the jade pendant fell into his hand.Xia Zaoan didn't care about the strangled neck, and desperately grabbed the hand of the hooded man, "Don't take my jade pendant! Don't take my 1000 million! I'll fight with you!"

She opened her mouth and bit the opponent's wrist hard.The hooded monster screamed and let go of his hand suddenly.The jade pendant fell to the ground, and Xia Zaoan quickly bent over to pick it up.

"You don't know what to do, I'll kill you!" The hooded man brandished a sharp knife and stabbed at Xia Zao'an.

At that moment, Xia Zao'an felt unprecedented despair.She screamed and closed her eyes, but the Hooded Man didn't make a move.He gritted his teeth and trembled with anger, the sharp knife was only one or two centimeters away from the girl, but he still didn't have enough courage to break through that insignificant distance.

He sighed: "I've never seen a guy like you. Isn't money more important than life?"

"Of course!" Xia Zao'an raised her head confidently, "If you want to take the jade pendant away, you might as well just kill me."

The hooded monster was defeated by her. He never thought that this girl would love money so much.This time, he was a little at a loss.If the jade pendant were to be taken away, I am afraid that this gold digger would fight with her life.He was not a cruel person, but he had to listen to that person's orders.

At this moment, a call sounded in the dark night: "Hello, is Xia Zao good?"

Xia Zao'an immediately shouted as if she was being rescued: "It's me, it's me, Master Qi Mu, hurry up and save me! There are villains here!"

"What?" A figure ran towards them and shouted sharply, "Who is it? Don't run!"

A Cheng Yaojin came out on the way, and the hooded man could only flee in a panic.Although Qi Mu met him head-on, he didn't dare to act rashly because he was waving a sharp knife in his hand.So he could only watch helplessly as he ran away.

The Hooded Man left a deadly trait, though.

Mu Xiao sat in the room with a bandage wrapped around his wrist.

When it was time for lunch, he ordered An Xiaobao to deliver the lunch to his room.Since Lao Zhang's death, the inn has no owner, and An Xiaobao is in charge of everything temporarily, but he also plans to leave Daicao Village in a few days.

At five past twelve, An Xiaobao knocked on his door: "The food is here."

Mu Xiao opened the door.An Xiaobao stood outside the door, not only that, but also Xia Zao'an and others.Oops!Mu Xiao sensed the danger and hurriedly closed the door.But it was too late, Uncle Meng Jin pushed the door open.The reaction force of the door caused the pain on Mu Xiao's wrist to flare up violently. He endured a small scream and hid the hand behind his back guiltily.

"Do you... what's the matter?"

A group of people poured into his room, and the atmosphere suddenly became stuffy.

Uncle Meng Jin didn't answer, but raised his thick eyebrows alertly and asked, "Your left hand was injured?"

"Ah... this... accidentally yesterday..."

"I still want to quibble!" Uncle Meng Jin suddenly snapped.This trick really worked, Mu Xiao was frightened and slumped on the bed.Uncle Meng Jin pointed at him, the expression on his face tightened, and he said seriously, "Quickly explain, was it you who attacked Xia Zaoan last night?"

"Ah...no...not!" Mu Xiao tried his best to deny it, but his defense seemed weak.

The Doctor immediately took out the note and shook his head disappointedly at him: "Mu Xiao, I really didn't expect you to be such a money-obsessed person. You tricked Xia Zaoan out in the name of Qi Mu, but you ignored This note you left, I can read your handwriting, is the evidence of your crime. And, just by examining your wound, you can find out whether it matches the tooth marks of Zaoan. You can't escape Fuck it, plead guilty!"

His eyes lost the desire to resist, and despair and guilt flooded his bloodless face.Mu Xiao covered his face with his hands in pain, and the voice of self-blame came out intermittently from between his fingers: "It was me... I did it... It's none of my business, and I don't want to do it... It's Boss He gave the order to die. I have to repay Boss for his kindness..."

The truth came out.Mu Xiao was the weird hooded man who wanted to steal the jade pendant, and he was completely instructed by Huang Wanwan to do so.But there is still something suspicious here.For example, why does Huang Wanwan stare at this jade pendant?Even if it is worth 1000 million, the wealthy Huang Wanwan shouldn't take risks for it.

Mu Xiao said: "Boss seems to be quite afraid of this jade pendant. He told me that even if he can't get the jade pendant, he will destroy it."

"Huh? So he's not after the money at all?" I said.

"Probably not. The antiques Boss hides at home are worth millions."

"That is, this jade pendant is very important to Huang Wanwan, and there may be some secrets hidden, so he must destroy it." I guessed.

Mu Xiao immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Show me that jade pendant, maybe I can find something."

Xia Zao'an vigilantly moved towards Qi Mu's side, and Mu Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, there are so many people present, can I still snatch your jade pendant?"

It makes sense to say so.Xia Zao'an hesitated for half a second, but still took out the jade pendant.

Mu Xiao took it over and looked at it for a few moments, and immediately his face changed drastically: "Ah! Isn't this jade pendant the chairman..." Then he closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

To Uncle Meng Jin's questioning, Huang Wanwan was very uncooperative: "Even if Mu Xiao went to grab that jade pendant, what business does it have to do with me?"

"He said you ordered it!" Uncle Meng Jin is very experienced in dealing with such difficult suspects.He paced back and forth in front of Huang Wanwan, staring at him coldly all the time, as if he had seen through all the plots and tricks long ago.

Huang Wanwan sat upright, his expression unmoved: "This is just Mu Xiao's side story, I will not admit it. If you have evidence, arrest me."

This guy is more difficult to deal with than imagined.Uncle Meng Jin went on to say: "Yes, there is no evidence at present. However, we have found clues to an unsolved case that happened four years ago. Maybe that case is related to you."

Huang Wanwan's face paled slightly.This subtle change did not escape Uncle Meng Jin's eyes. He seized the opportunity and went straight to the point: "Mu Xiao accidentally revealed some words just now. He only said half of what he said, but we still guessed it. This jade pendant..." Meng Uncle Jin deliberately dangled the jade pendant in front of Huang Wanwan, "This jade pendant belongs to your sister-in-law, that is, Chairman Li Qihong who disappeared four years ago. Why is Li Qihong's jade pendant in Daicao Village? And, even more strange Yes, during the period of her disappearance, a shocking case also happened here. Could there be any relationship between the two?" Hearing this, Huang Wanwan's facial muscles twitched, and sweat continued to ooze from his forehead Come on, your face is even whiter.

Ah——Huang Wanwan screamed in pain, are the crimes of the past really going to be exposed?
