Chapter 87 Reasoning Notes 2: The Murder of the Fox Demon (46)
Now, all he can say is: "If you have the ability, you can solve all the mysteries."

There was a victorious smile on his lips.Mu Xiao always believed that this murder plan was perfect, and the high school girl in front of him would never be able to solve all the tricks.

But Edison smiled lightly: "Well, I will tell you the answer."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiao opened his eyes wide.

Could it be that this girl really solved the mystery?

Edison began to solve the riddle.

The first one is killing thousands of miles.

"When we set off from Huang Wanwan's house, Mu Xiao was the last to go back to carry the luggage. At that time, he stunned the sleeping Huang Mingzhu, and then packed her into the suitcase. Carried the suitcase into the car After the trunk, he moved the person out and put part of the clothes in the other suitcase into the suitcase that originally contained the person. When the car drove near the train station, Mu Xiao deliberately claimed that the car was broken. It’s just that we’re going to take the train.”

"Why do you want to take the train?" I asked.

Edison took out the train timetable: "Look, the train travel time from Guangzhou to here is four hours and 35 minutes. However, if the car takes the expressway, it only takes three and a half hours at most. This is more than an hour. The timing is the key point of the plot to kill thousands of miles."

I said, "But, Mu Xiao and Huang Wanwan boarded the train with us at that time."

"Looking at this timetable again, the train departs from Guangzhou Station for 5 minutes and stops at Guangzhou East Railway Station. He only needs to get off at East Station, take a taxi back to the train station to pick up the car, and then use the car to take the high speed. It took more than an hour to arrive at Straw Village. Then, after finishing something, he flew to the next train station. The timetable also shows that the train will arrive at the last station 7 minutes before arriving at the small town station. Stop. Mu Xiao took advantage of this, causing us to mistake him for the illusion that he stayed on the train with us. In fact, he only stayed on the train for the first 5 minutes and the end 7 minutes. And the rest of the time , we were probably drugged and fell asleep, so we didn't know he wasn't on the train."

I still have doubts: "If Mu Xiao got out of the car halfway, Huang Wanwan must know about it."

"Of course Huang Wanwan knows. Moreover, he most likely got off the car with Mu Xiao."

"Hey, why?"

"I think Mu Xiao must have tricked Huang Wanwan into doing something shady, so Huang Wanwan cooperated with him and created an alibi for him."

"Then what the hell are they planning to do?"

"Well... you have to ask Mu Xiao himself."

The focus of eyes returned to Mu Xiao.I saw that he was still in the great shock of being exposed of the conspiracy, and kept silent about Edison's question, but he unconsciously glanced at Cheng Meini who was standing beside us.This tiny movement did not escape Edison's eyes.The muscles at the corners of his mouth spread out to both sides, revealing a confident smile.

Then he said confidently: "I see. You and Wan Wanwan were planning to attack Cheng Meini on the mountain road into the village. Because you knew that Cheng Meini would also come to Daicao Village, so you suggested to Wan Wanwan to use this train Time difference tried to kill Cheng Meini, so that no one would bid for the mountain forest where the corpse was buried. Of course, Huang Wanwan had no doubts about your plan, but you used Huang Wanwan as your witness and asked him to accompany you. You go to the Straw Village together and wait to kill Cheng Meini. Then, you wait for the opportunity to strangle Huang Mingzhu in the trunk of the car and throw her body off the cliff."

"You calculated well, knowing that the nearby reservoir will open the gates that afternoon, and the river will wash away Huang Mingzhu's body. The purpose of doing this is to cooperate with the fox demon's prophecy on the one hand; Wanwan thinks that you used the water to transport Huang Mingzhu's body away. And when we entered Daicao Village, Huang Mingzhu's phone call was probably secretly recorded by you, and the purpose was also to prevent Huang Mingzhu from becoming suspicious."

"Of course, you missed one point. That is, Cheng Meini's car broke down, and it was later than the scheduled time. You failed to ambush her on the road. However, it doesn't matter to you. Your target is not Cheng Meini. .”

I asked another question: "Why did Mu Xiao stun Huang Mingzhu first, and then strangle her to death? Wouldn't it be more convenient to strangle her to death?"

"I think Mu Xiao is considering the time of death of the body. If Huang Mingzhu was killed at the same time as the train, then Mu Xiao can have a perfect alibi."

"Ah, so it is."

The so-called killing a thousand miles away was really planned with astonishing meticulousness.

The second one is the Flying Stone.

"When we entered the mountain that night, Mu Xiao was at the forefront. He deliberately led us past the path of the stone statue of the mountain god, and deliberately took the opportunity to let us see the stone statue of the fox demon, so that we mistakenly thought that what we passed was the stone statue of the fox demon. Small road. After arriving at the top of the mountain, when the mountain was on fire, we saw the scene of the flying stone. As I said before, the big rock was placed there earlier. Mu Xiao poured gasoline on it, and then put it If you set a fuse and calculate the time, the boulder will naturally catch fire."

"But..." Before I started, Edison continued as if he had guessed my question: "The key to this trick lies in the two stone statues. The surroundings of the two paths are similar, and only the mountain god can clearly distinguish them The stone statue and the fox demon stone statue. Mu Xiao took advantage of this to steal the sky and replace the two paths."

"How did he do it?" I asked anxiously, "He can't move the two stone statues around."

"No need." Edison shook his head and denied, "This method is stupid and labor-intensive. There is a direct and convenient trick that will not be noticed, and the two stone statues can be exchanged without any effort. Moreover, the same method is also applicable. To explain why Huang Wanwan chose to take the path of the fox demon stone statue."

"What is it?" Several voices asked at the same time.

Under the attention of everyone, Edison turned and walked to the entrance of the cave where the stone statue was placed.

"That's it." He said as he passed his hands through the wooden fence, reached behind the stone statue, and grabbed it hard.

There was only a heavy rubbing sound, and the stone statue of the mountain god was turning slowly!

"what!"

We were flabbergasted by this.After a while, the back of the stone statue of the mountain god turned around.Upon closer inspection, we were even more shocked.

"This...isn't this a stone statue of a fox demon?"

"That's right!" Edison clapped his hands, "The secret of the stone fox statue is that it's a double-faced statue!"

It is so!

Now, we all understand, everyone has a look of irony on their faces.After all, the ruse was too simple.

"It's the same reason. Although Mu Xiao and Huang Wanwan explained the direction in detail, after Huang Wanwan came to the path of the stone statue of the mountain god, he saw that the stone statue of the fox demon was placed in the cave. He must have thought it was Mu Xiao He lied to him, so he ran to the path of the fox demon stone statue. Of course, he must have been very strange at that time, because he saw another fox demon stone statue. As a result, before he could react, he was killed .”

Next, the Yuanshen came out of his body and killed people.

Edison explained it earlier.Mu Xiao used the scarecrow disguise to create the illusion that the murderer disappeared out of thin air.

Then Lao Zhang's resurrection from the dead uses the same trick as that of the fox demon's resurrection.Old Zhang must have been secretly sucked a lot of blood by the fox demon without knowing it.After being frozen for a period of time, the blood came in handy in the fourth homicide.

In the fifth case, the double murder case used only two identical jade pendants.Mu Xiao deliberately let Xia Zaoan pick up the jade pendant, so as to proceed with the next step.

Of course, the trick that the fox demon performed in front of us that time to see through the contents of the envelope was actually not difficult.First of all, everyone put the written note into the envelope, and the fox demon didn't do anything to the envelope in front of everyone.She first predicted the first letter, claiming to see Huang Wanwan's note dated October 10.

This is what she said at the time: "Huang Wanwan, what you wrote is a date, October 10. On this day, you will get everything you dream of. However, October 26 is also the day you are most afraid of. day, because on this day..."

Hearing this, Huang Wanwan naturally thought that what the fox demon was going to say next was most likely to expose his crimes.Because October 10 was the date when he murdered Li Qihong, he had a guilty conscience and was afraid of being exposed.The fox demon caught Huang Wanwan's psychology and gave verbal hints.

In other words, the fox demon didn't know what was written in Huang Wanwan's envelope.As long as she mentioned the date of October 10, Huang Wanwan would obediently admit that those four words were indeed written in his envelope.

Then, what we saw was that the fox demon picked up the first letter and deliberately pretended to open it to check whether what she said was correct.We thought it was Huang Wanwan's envelope, but in fact, what she picked up was not Huang Wanwan's envelope, but the next person's envelope.

Even though Huang Wanwan's envelope was guessed, the first letter she actually picked up to read was the contents of the second person's envelope that she was going to see through next.Since she had read it beforehand, of course she could tell exactly what was in the letter.Then she burned the envelope, just to avoid leaving any traces.The following envelopes and so on.

Why, then, did she burn a letter without reading it?

This is the brilliance of this ruse.
