Chapter 401 This is easy to cheat
The firelight was so blindingly bright that he hardly dared to open his eyes.
Noto squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Cordelia beside him through sleepy eyes.
She was wearing a grey sports suit, no robe, not even a headscarf. Her brown hair was curled and exposed, which was extremely dazzling to Noto.
He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very different from usual, with a strange look, tears in his eyes, and looking at him with a complicated expression.
Noto seemed to be dreaming, and he had to confirm first: "Cordelia?"
Cordelia whispered back, "It's me."
Noto frowned immediately. "You are crazy. It is shameless to dress like this. Where is your burqa? Where is your headscarf?"
Cordelia stared at him indifferently and replied coldly: "In my hands."
Noto only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the sharp weapon pierced into his heart.
Cordelia used both hands to push the knife in a little further. She suddenly felt that Luo Jiu was right. With hands and feet, what can't you do? Killing a person is easy.
A sound was heard not far away, and Grace and Old Lady Kong hurriedly ran out of the cave.
Grace reminded her: "Hurry, push him into the fire, don't let Ansa find him."
Old Mrs. Kong pulled out the knife swiftly, wiped the blood off it with Noto's clothes, and asked Cordelia to put the knife away.
Cordelia wiped her half-dried tears and, together with the two of them, pushed Notto's body into the fire.
Zhong Jialing was accompanying Cheng Yaoyao in the cave. Luo Jiu and Feng Qi led everyone over here, with the two walking in front.
As I turned the corner, I caught a glimpse of Cordelia and the other two fleeing hastily back into the secret room.
Feng Qi spoke quickly, "Hey——"
Luo Jiu quickly pulled down her pointed hand and asked nervously, "What is that thing in the sky?"
Everyone had been scared out of their wits since they fell into the crack in the ground. When they heard something in the sky, they screamed and quickly leaned against the walls on both sides of the crack, raising their weapons and looking at the sky nervously.
It was just dawn at this moment, and looking up from the ground, there was a bright light above.
Everyone asked nervously: "What? What did you see?"
Luo Jiu took the opportunity to give Feng Qi a look, and then said to everyone in a relaxed manner: "I'm talking about the sun. It's a very sunny day today. Everyone, eat your fill, and figure out how to get up there."
Everyone rolled their eyes in silence, thinking they had encountered another monster.
Luo Jiu took a look at the insect meat that O'Neal brought. It seemed that there were no parasites in it and it could be eaten after being roasted. So everyone came to eat the whole roasted insect.
Luo Jiu pretended to talk to Feng Qi and deliberately fell behind a few steps to let others arrive first.
She had just whispered a few words in Feng Qi's ear when she heard Angsa scream.
The two of them ran over quickly and pretended to be concerned and asked, "What happened?"
The attendants and the black bodyguard nearby were startled and exclaimed: "Noto is dead, but there are still monsters! There must be more monsters!"
At this time, Grace, Cordelia and Old Lady Kong also ran out of the secret room. The three of them pretended to have heard the noise and came here. They leaned together in fear and couldn't help looking at Luo Jiu for help.
Notto was pushed into the fire by Cordelia and others with his back to everyone, so at first glance, no wounds could be seen. People could only vaguely recognize him based on his face that had not been completely burned.
Wang Xiaobing squatted aside and took a look. "Isn't that right? This doesn't look like the work of a monster."
Grace glanced at him and didn't translate the sentence out of guilt.
Wang Xiaobing picked up an iron rod nearby and tried to pull the man out to have a look. Suddenly, Luo Jiu said, "Move aside, let me take a look."
Wang Xiaobing asked in surprise: "Captain Luo, do you know criminal investigation?"
While putting on gloves, Luo Jiu asked, "Do you know anything about criminal investigation?"
Wang Xiaobing quickly shook his head. Luo Jiu smiled slightly. Seeing that everyone looked confused, he said proudly in his heart: This is easy to fool.
Luo Jiu had nothing to do, so he flipped through a basic criminal investigation book and threw out some professional terms. If they were 70% similar, it would be enough to scare these people.
Luo Jiu snatched the stick from Wang Xiaobing's hand and simply poked it twice, then pushed the person in. "There is no ash in the deceased's mouth, which means he died before being burned. His face is cyanotic, and it looks like he was poisoned."
While he was talking, his face was burned off, and no one knew whether it was purple or completely black.
Angsa asked curiously, "Poisoned? Who poisoned him?"
Luo Jiu frowned and said, "It's not a person, it's an animal. It's dark and damp here, and there are even prehistoric giant insects like this. What's so strange about some snakes, insects, rats and ants?"
Luo Jiu quietly took out a piece of snake skin and held it in his hand, then quietly threw it next to the corpse, "Look, this is the evidence left by the murderer."
"Snake?" Everyone looked at each other and became alert again.
At this time, O'Neal suddenly found blood on the ground, "Blood! How can a snake bite bleed so much?"
Luo Jiu glared at him and said, "What a fuss! A big snake can also cause lacerations."
Everyone was skeptical. Luo Jiu looked at Grace and asked, "You three were in there. Did you hear any noise?"
Grace blinked. "It seemed... I heard some noise, as if someone shouted something in a hoarse voice."
Angsa said angrily: "Since you heard the noise, why didn't you come out to check?"
Grace said hurriedly: "We thought everyone was outside at the time. There were so many people, snoring and talking in sleep were very loud, so we didn't expect it to be a snake."
Luo Jiu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the sound you heard should be the snake wrapped around his neck, so he couldn't scream."
Everyone began to look around and discuss, "If there was a snake, where did it come from?" "How big a snake must have been to cause such a bloody wound?" "Where is the snake now?"
Feng Qi quietly walked to Luo Jiu and whispered, "It's hard to make up your lie. It's too flat here. There's not even a bush. Where can you find a snake?"
Luo Jiu glanced at her, walked away a few steps, and the two of them went aside and talked in whispers.
Luo Jiu: "How could there be snakes in this place? I have carefully checked along the way. Apart from us, there are no other living creatures."
"Ah? What should I do then?" Feng Qi's mind raced and he thought hard.
"Yes, I have a good idea. You can just say that I killed him because I was not happy with him. So what? I don't know what they dare to do to me."
Luo Jiu stared with eyes wide open and remained silent for a few seconds. "Don't think about it anymore. Take a break. I have a way to cover up this lie."
Feng Qi was stunned and asked curiously, "What method?"
