Chapter 414 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (22)
"Anyway." Qi Mu didn't bother to explain, he just ordered: "Keep your mouth shut!"

They had no choice but to carry their luggage and find a new hotel. Mikaka behaved this time and kept silent, letting Qi Mu do it for her.Since they didn't mention a word about the lizard god during the whole process, they lived in smoothly.

The owner of the hotel is an amiable woman in her 40s. She calls herself Sister Hua, and she also kindly helps them carry their luggage and arrange their rooms.Before leaving, Sister Hua gave them a pleasant suggestion: "You two, you can soak in a hot spring before dinner, it's good for your health!"

"Huh? Hot spring?"

They looked confused.

Sister Hua also looked surprised: "Huh? Didn't you come here to soak in the hot springs? The hot springs in Shawan Ancient Town are very famous."

Oh, now that explains why there are so many inns in this town.Saiki is right, this is a tourist attraction with rich hot spring resources.Oddly, there seems to be a bit of a lack of tourists here.Sister Hua proudly talked about the local hot springs to Qi Mu and Mi Kaka: "The hot springs here have existed since ancient times. The high-ranking officials and nobles in the past flocked to the hot springs here. Tourists who come to the hot springs also It's been a constant stream. However, since..."

At the end of the conversation, her tone revealed sad emotions, she sighed, and stopped talking.

This aroused Mikaka's curiosity even more: "Since what?"

Sister Hua looked like she couldn't bear to look back on the past, she didn't want to mention it again, and said sadly: "Oh, don't mention it. If you want to soak in the hot spring here, it will probably be the last time."

Sister Hua's words whetted my appetite, and Mi Kaka planned to continue asking, but unfortunately, Sister Hua had already bid farewell, leaving behind a dejected figure at the corner.

What is she hiding?

Standing by the window, looking at the quiet ancient town outside, Qi Mu frowned lightly.

Something is wrong with this town.From the moment he stepped into the town, he faintly smelled a weird and bizarre atmosphere in the town.Everyone here lives in the taboo of the lizard god.People fear it and obey it. Although it has never appeared, it overlooks the trembling human beings in this land with its unquestionable dominance.

And now, it is about to reappear in the world.

After finishing packing, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Although it was still early for dinner, the two of them were already hungry.From getting on the car to now, they have hardly eaten any food.Therefore, looking for delicious food is the top priority at present, and the question of the lizard god is put aside for now.

Coincidentally, as soon as they stepped out of the room, the guests in the next room also went out at the same time.

The two sides looked at each other, and exclaimed in unison: "Huh? Why are you?"

It turned out that this person was the former reporter Wang Chen.It so happened that he also lived in this hotel.

The three of them met by chance, so they met in a small restaurant in the town, ordered a few side dishes, and a few bottles of iced drinks, which was really pleasant.So, they ate and chatted.Of course, the main chatters are only Wang Chen and Mi Kaka, and Qi Mu is responsible for being a handsome man who eats quietly.

Wang Chen picked up the peanuts and put them in his mouth to chew. He took a sip of cold beer and ate with relish. Of course, he also felt that the timing seemed to be almost there, so he threw out his bait and pretended to say unintentionally: "Speaking of the murder of the Lizard God back then, I found some interesting clues!"

The topic finally came to the Lizard God. Mikaka, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately cheered up: "What is it? Tell us."

How can it be so simple?Wang Chen shook the chopsticks in his hand, a cunning flashed in his eyes.

"That won't work, you have to exchange information."

Mi Kaka and the others arrived here for the first time, how could they have any information on them?However, since Wang Chen has a clue, how can he let it go?Therefore, Mi Kaka moved the small bench, shortened the distance with Wang Chen, and used the trick of cuteness to get close: "Brother Chen, just tell us how to do it!"

This arrogant receptivity may work for girls, but not only does it not work for old men like Wang Chen, it actually backfires.

"Bah! Don't be so cute! I don't accept this." Wang Chen looked disgusted and vomited.

The attack is invalid!Poor Mi Kaka received [-] points of damage, moved back to the stool silently, and was just about to sit back to the original place.did not expect--

"Bah! You cute bastard, stay away from me!"

Qi Mu also made trouble, issued a deportation order in disgust, and kicked Mi Kaka's chair away.

I am provoking someone!Mikaka wanted to cry but had no tears, so she moved the small bench and sat in the corner silently.

But he was very unconvinced, and stared back at Qi Mu, as if to say: If you have the ability, you use other people's information!

Look at me!Qi Mu's eyes were full of confidence, and he imitated Mi Kaka as he moved a chair and sat next to Wang Chen, patted the other's shoulder, and then it was nothing but a blockbuster: "Xiao Chen, even if you get a clue, with you I'm afraid it's the same as a monk borrowing a comb, getting something is useless."

"Xiao...Xiao Chen?!"

This title... The corners of Wang Chen's mouth twitched violently.This boy actually called him Xiaochen? !No matter how you look at him, he is the senior of these two brats, okay?Besides, why is this person talking so badly?

Mi Kaka on the side immediately made use of the topic, pointed at Qi Mu, and reported to Wang Chen: "Brother Chen, he said you are a bald monk."

I really imagine that in a court drama, I was given a lot of popularity.

Wang Chen was already slightly angry, but being so fueled by Mi Kaka made him really angry.He touched the hair on his head unhappily: "I'm sorry, my hair is very thick."

"That's right. Brother Chen, ignore this man!"

Mikaka still felt that the fire was not big enough, and continued to fan the flames.But Wang Chen glanced at him, full of suspicion: "Eh? Aren't you in the same group?"

"How can there be?!" Mi Kaka clasped Wang Chen's hand tightly with both hands, expressing his position: "Brother Chen, you and I belong to the same country!"

"Millet!"

These two guys seem to have become allies against the enemy at this moment, and they have cultivated a comrade-in-arms friendship that they never met.

Mi Kaka took the opportunity to say: "Brother Chen, don't tell this person the information, just tell me in a low voice. I will never betray you."

"Xiaomi!" Wang Chen looked moved, but in the next second, a magical turning point happened.

"Don't do it!" He resolutely shook off Mi Kaka's hand, and took out a tissue to wipe it with disgust, as if to wipe away the newly cultivated friendship.He is not stupid.Mi Kaka's sycophant trick failed again.

Qi Mu couldn't help but patted his forehead.He felt a headache for the two people who were full of joy.

But Wang Chen expressed his attitude very clearly: "Okay. Okay. Stop talking so much nonsense. It's the same sentence, you have to exchange valuable information."

"Hey, cheapskate."

Mikaka's tricks all failed, and she picked up several peanuts and stuffed them into her mouth angrily.

Wang Chen raised the beer in his hand, gestured towards them, and drank it down: "Forgive me. In our job as a reporter, the most taboo is being snatched by others. So, don't blame me for keeping my mouth shut."

"Tch, let's investigate by ourselves." Mi Kaka replied angrily.

This meal will be tasteless even if you continue to eat it.After a quick bite, Mi Kaka and Qi Mu left early.

Section [-] Trouble at the construction site
Because it was still early, the two thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​going back to the hotel to rest.They decided to investigate clues about the lizard god.But it would definitely not work to ask people hastily. The residents here are very shy about the topic of the lizard god.

On the street near dusk, the hesitant figures of teenagers are reflected.Suddenly, Qi Mu took a firm stride and walked in one direction.

Mi Kaka chased after him and asked puzzledly, "Hey? Brother Qi Mu, where are you going?"

"For an old case like this 18 years ago, you should go to the local police station."

That's right, since it's a homicide, the local police station will definitely have a record.This is the easiest place to start investigating the murder of the Lizard God.

But this time, finding the police station was much easier.The local residents didn't know the real purpose of the two teenagers at all, they only regarded them as outsiders asking for help, and enthusiastically pointed them to the police station.It was a house that was almost the same as the nearby residential buildings, with a total of two floors.Above the door hangs the unique signboard style of the police station, with a blue background board, and the three-dimensional words "Shawan Ancient Town Police Station" are bound on it.

Pushing open the softly creaking glass door, a gust of cool air-conditioning wind blows over, making people extremely comfortable.And seeing that there is not much decoration in the house, the ordinary and monotonous white floor echoes with the white and slightly yellowish wall.Facing the gate and in the middle is the front desk, which is responsible for receiving people seeking help.There are passages on both sides, one goes directly to the stairs, and the other side is a small room, the purpose of which is unknown.

At this time, the entire hall was empty and extremely deserted.

Mikaka poked his head, looked around, and asked loudly, "Hello! Is anyone there?"

At this time, an old policeman with steady steps walked out from the house at the end of the passage.He is nearly 60 years old, and his hair is a little loose and falling out. Time playfully dyed a few clumps of gray hair for him.The kind face of the old policeman left deep and shallow gullies of the years, and he was wearing a policeman's uniform, and his majesty and righteousness permeated his whole body.

It was obvious at a glance that the visiting teenager was not a local.The old policeman asked like an elder: "Young man, what's the matter with you?"

Mikaka stated the purpose of the trip modestly: "We want to inquire about a murder of a lizard god that happened here 18 years ago."
