Chapter 72: Tricks

Qiao Lezi had to admit that Yan Zike's snake spirit disease tricks were really effective, the girl was desperate, and when she woke up, she really believed that she was dead, and the testimony was obtained very smoothly, and in the end, she still let the girl faint and be placed in the cubicle for the time being, remove a pair of props, and change back to her usual clothes, so she discussed the case with Yan Zike.

This girl's name is Xu Yujie, according to her explanation to the "Lord of Yama" why she "died", at the time of the incident, she did not find any precursors of her clothes catching fire, but for a moment she felt that there was a fire flashing in front of her, and then there was a burning sensation all over her body, and before she could react more, the fire had disappeared.

As for whether she noticed anything unusual during the dancing, Xu Yujie couldn't answer this, because she was too focused on dancing at that time, but she was sure that there would never be any fire source in her sight, and she would never have anything on her body that could cause burning.

Qiao Lezi asked where the dance dress on her body was made from and what material, Xu Yujie said that it was made by the academy dance club to take the size to the embroidery workshop, poplin texture, for fear that the students would accidentally stain and damage the clothes, before the start of this competition, the clothes have been handed over to Mr. Jiaoxi for safekeeping, and everyone changed the clothes on the painting boat.

And when asked about the people Xu Yujie can offend on weekdays, the girl sighed, saying that she really didn't know how to be a person "before her death", her temperament was too arrogant, her eyes were above the top, and she didn't have a door on her mouth, so she offended a lot of people, and there were at least seven or eight people in their dance club who were extremely incompatible with her.

Qiao Lezi was also speechless, this question was just asked out of professional sensitivity, judging from Xu Yujie's testimony, it was really impossible to get a glimpse of any human factors from it.

"It must be man-made. Yan Zike said, "If you don't see the ashes when you burn your clothes, if you don't do it deliberately, how can it be made naturally?"

"Yes...... How can we burn clothes without seeing ashes?" Qiao Lezi felt that his head was starting to grow bigger again.

"I don't know. Swallow replied happily.

It's tricky! It's so tricky! Qiao Lezi has never experienced such a strange case, where does the fire come from? What causes the fire? How can I find out! I can't find the way at all!

Because of this amazing thing, the competition will definitely not be able to continue, the onlookers were ordered to leave Guixu Lake, so as not to interfere with the government's investigation, although it was a bit disappointing, but everyone because they saw this appalling thing happen, they suddenly had something to talk about, but they didn't feel that this section was in vain - what kind of mentality!

Anyway, after going ashore, there are those who continue to have fun, and there are also those who stay nearby while gossiping and preparing to peep at the changes on the lake and continue to dig deeply, but after a morning's effort, this strange and strange, mysterious and mysterious thing has spread all over the city, it is really a lot of people with great power, and the gossip reaches the world.

There are only three painting boats and four or five boats left on Guixu Lake, in addition to the painting boats of Splendid Academy and Jiyue Academy, there is also Yan Zike's boat, the boat is rowed when the officials come, the whole lake is quiet at this time, all the students participating in the two academies are ordered to be under the instructions of the officials in their respective boats, not to move around without permission, and to leave the guards guarded.

After some investigation and evidence collection, everyone's confessions have been sorted out, and any details inside and outside the two painting boats have also been checked, it was noon, lunch was arranged on the two boats, and the people of the government also went to the Yan family's painting boat, and had dinner on the first floor, and the Yan family and Qiao Lezi were on the second floor, divided a few tables, and talked about the progress of the case while eating.

"How did this fire start?" Qiao Lezi had asked this question for the eighteenth time.

"Maybe someone who knows kung fu flicks something like a fire fold at her. Yuan Chang and Yan Qiwu Yue Cui Xi squeezed into the small square table next to them to eat, and interjected when they heard the words, many of which were self-promoting, "I can do this." ”

"Everyone is not blind, who can not see it?" Wu Yue retorted, because Yuan Chang had to squeeze at this table, and his heart was not happy.

"Hmph, what you're talking about is an ordinary person, if you use internal force to play, the speed is fast, the eyes are standard, and it is not easy to be noticed. Yuan Chang said coldly.

"It's a pity that we are all ordinary people, and we really don't dare to compare with you, an extraordinary person. Wu Yue also said coldly.

"The last fish ball, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it. "Yan Qidao.

"You're not losing weight?" Yuan Chang glared at her, snatching the last fish ball from the saucer.

"I've heard that eating fish doesn't grow meat. "Yan Qidao.

"Okay, I'll give you something to eat. Yuan Chang stretched out the chopsticks holding the fish balls, handed them to Yan Qi's mouth, and looked at her with a wicked smile.

Seeing that Yan Qi seemed to be a little hesitant, Yuan Chang was also a little uncomfortable, his face was hot, and he was thinking about taking back the chopsticks, but he heard her say, "You won't wait for me to open my mouth and then move my hand away, right?"

"......" turned out to be worried about this.

Yuan Chang directly stuffed the fish ball into Yan Qi's mouth: "Eat it, you, where are there so many thoughts!"

The young man's pure and sweet feelings really caused 10,000 points of damage to the single dog, Qiao Lezi shook his head and retracted his gaze, but saw Yan Zike beckoning to his niece: "Xiao Qi, come." ”

Yan Qi got up and went over, and was pointed out by her uncle to sit next to her, and there was a branch standing behind him that was particularly transparent, and immediately sent a new pair of dishes and chopsticks in front of Yan Qi, and her uncle pulled the fish ball plate on his table in front of her, and said, "Eat." ”

Whoa, this is too much of a pamper...... But no matter how you look at it, you have the visual sense of feeding pets. Qiao Lezi glanced at Miss Yan Jiaqi, who ate very unceremoniously, how did this little fat girl fall into Yan Zike's picky eyes? Has a skill? Has a different personality? The three views are as distorted as him? Or is there something different from ordinary people that arouses his interest?

"Go on. Yan Zike's words pulled back Qiao Lezi's thoughts.

"Oh, I also don't think it's likely that someone played the fire fold or something on Xu Yujie's body," Qiao Lezi took a mouthful of food and chewed it in his mouth, "There are so many pairs of eyes inside and out, the fire flashes, can anyone see it?"

"Hey, then tell me, how can people's clothes spontaneously combust without fire?" Yuan Chang was not convinced, pulled the chair and squeezed to the table, and stared at Qiao Lezi.

"Ahem, well, I'm thinking about ...... too" Qiao Lezi was a little embarrassed, this case that could not be characterized as a case at the moment was so bizarre that it made him, the dignified prefect, look very incompetent.

"Well, if you think of fire, you must at least have something that can ignite it? What can be used as a combustion? Fire folds, flints, flints, flints, velvet, gunpowder, charcoal, oil, you name it. Yuan Chang pointed to Qiao Lezi and said.

Qiao Lezi couldn't cry or laugh: Nonsense, you didn't think about it when Lao Tzu, the key is that no one saw anyone light a fire! It can't be Xu Yujie's clothes that burned by themselves, right?

"There's also something that can start a fire. It was Cui Xi who spoke, looking over with a smile.

"What is it?" Yuan Chang asked with an eyebrow.

"The convex glass on both sides," Cui Xi looked at Yan Qi with a smile, "Xiao Qi calls it 'convex lens'." ”

Yan Qi remembered that when he was a child, he went to Cui's Mansion to play with Cui Xi, Cui Xi took a crystal hairpin of Mrs. Cui and played in the sun, and the irregular water crystal refracted a rainbow light spot on the ground, Cui Xi liked it very much at the time, and smiled like a bright daisy. Later, the two of them fiddled with the hairpin and projected various different lights on the ground at various angles, one of which could gather the light into a bright point of light, Yan Qi used it to aim at an ant, and soon the ant was charred into a small black ball.

Cui Xi asked her how she did it, Yan Qi told him the principle of the convex lens when he was still young at that time, and later Cui Xi really asked people to get a real convex lens, and almost burned down the study of the eldest young master Cui, after that, the eldest young master Cui wanted to vomit blood when he saw Yan Qi, and it took several years for this problem to be cured.

Cui Xi briefly introduced the shape and function of the convex lens to Qiao Lezi, and Qiao Lezi immediately asked Qiao Lezi to re-search the painting boat and the participants' bodies, but the result was nothing.

"Hmph, I think you're thinking too much, and no one uses this lens at all. Yuan Chang said.

"Maybe someone used it and threw it into the lake to destroy the evidence. Wu Yue pondered.

"Let people go to all the glass workshops on the shore," said Yan Zike, "glass is not something that can be made in your own house, and if it is really such a thing, it can only come from the glass workshop." ”

Qiao Lezi hurriedly asked people to go ashore to investigate, and turned around and asked Xiang Yanqi: "Since Miss Seven knows about this thing, can you know if the cloth ignited by this thing will leave ashes after it is burned?"

"Yes. Yan Qi didn't know about the investigation of the two people in the morning, and felt that Qiao Lezi asked this question strangely, "Burning cloth and paper will leave ashes, this is common sense." ”

...... "Lao Tzu knows that this is common sense! The key is that this incident does not conform to common sense! Qiao Lezi was educated by a child again, and he wanted to cry without tears for a while.

"Could it be that the young lady's clothes were burned without leaving ashes?" Cui Xi asked Qiao Lezi curiously.

Qiao Lezi nodded: "It's strange here, if you can't find a reasonable explanation, this matter can't be conclusive." ”

"What doesn't leave ashes after being burned?" Cui Xi changed his perspective to inspire everyone's thinking.

"Wax. Yuan Chang said.

“…… Are you saying Miss Xu's clothes are made of wax?" Wu Yue looked at him speechlessly.

"I didn't say that!" Yuan Chang glared at her.

Qiao Lezi had a headache, speaking of which, except for a clue that didn't work, he still had no clue, and it was afternoon, if he couldn't find the direction all afternoon, he couldn't keep the students of the two houses on this lake all the time, and once he put these people back, he would probably miss the opportunity to find the truth...... It's a headache, I've never seen such a weird event again.

The headache is left to the adults to worry about, after lunch, several boys of the Yan family want to go ashore, there is nothing for them here, a good festival, why follow the dry consumption here, so he asked Yan Zike, hoping to take the small boat rowed by the government to go ashore, "Qingkui Ban is going to perform a hundred juggling at the big stone bridge today!" said the fourth young master Yan and his father.

"Look at that one when you're old. "Young Master Yan is laughing at his brother on the side.

"I heard that there is a new trick this time!" Fourth Young Master Yan raised his voice, "Take a handkerchief in your hand, and when you shake it in front of your eyes, the handkerchief is gone, and there will be an extra ingot in your hand!"

"Hey, hurry up, I can do it. This Xiang Yuanchang pouted and Yan Qidao, "Do you want to go and see it? I'll take you?" Children like to watch juggling.

Yan Qi just looks at Wu Yue, she is not a real child, she usually slips away with the big one.

"I wonder if Xiao Lotus can go with us. Wu Yue wanted to see it, but he didn't want to leave a friend to enjoy this happiness alone, so he looked at Yan Qi with some embarrassment, and then at Qiao Lezi in the room.

"I'm afraid I can't. "Otherwise, wouldn't Old Joe become selfish.

"Then next time!" Wu Yue said decisively, "Let's just wait here for Xiao Lotus to go together." ”

"Want to see juggling?" Yan Zike heard what was said here and looked at Yan Qi, "Let someone call Qingkui Ban to the boat." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan: "...... "Dad, I'm your own son!

Qiao Lezi: "......" pet is boundless! Do you know how many people in the whole city are waiting to see the juggling of Qingkui's class? !

Wu Yue: "......" is really a good uncle.

Yan Qi shook his head: "No, the boat is not high enough, they can't play it." ”

Everyone: If you can play "......", do you really want to dominate the Qingkui class?

"You don't want them to play acrobatics," Fourth Young Master Yan really wants to get the Qingkui class over to perform for them, and say that Dora has a lot of face!" "Anyway, I just like to watch them do tricks, turn ingots into rabbits out of thin air, and turn water into fire, and fire into money......"

Yan Qi looked at Yan Zike, who had already turned his head to talk to Qiao Lezi: "Let someone bring this trick over." ”

Qiao Lezi also understood his intentions, and hurriedly ordered people to go, Fourth Young Master Yan was happy, and said to Yan Qi beautifully: "Seventh sister, I also learned a trick with Qingkui's class, do you want to watch it?"

"Okay. Yan Qi nodded.

"The name of the trick is 'Great Change'! Look at it, I'm in front of you now, right?" Fourth Young Master Yan stood in front of Yan Qi and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to come to the big formation.

"Yes. Yan Qi nodded.

"Now, you close your eyes-" Fourth Young Master Yan stretched out his hand to cover Yan Qi's eyes, "The person has become gone! How about a living person?"

Yan Qi: "......" neurosis.

The trickster of the Qingkui class was quickly brought to the boat, and when he was saluting, he was waved by the big head in the middle: "Don't waste time, hurry up and tell us about your trick of turning fire into money, how did you do it?"

Ouch, I'll rub it, this is the secret of selling artists! This is a means of making a living! What a big face you have, come up and ask this!

"Let's change the little one for you first. The man said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, change. Qiao Lezi saw that Fourth Young Master Yan was full of interest, so he had to respond anxiously.

The man took out the handkerchief from his bosom, shook it left and right, and then lit it with a fire breaker, and with a dazzling dance, the handkerchief burned to the end, sending out a dazzling firelight, and when the fire gradually went out, the man already had an extra silver ingot in his hand.

"Okay!" Fourth Young Master Yan clapped his hands.

Qiao Lezi was very disappointed, because the handkerchief in this man's hand was gray after it was burned, and it floated everywhere in the wind.

"Alright, you can go back. Qiao Lezi waved his hand without much energy.

"Huh?" the man and Fourth Young Master Yan were dumbfounded.

"Sure enough, there was still ash. Cui Xi said.

Yan Qi nodded, but her thoughts were retraced, many things in the previous life, as she traveled longer and longer, began to gradually become more and more blurred, such a trick, the previous life naturally also had it, and it was more exquisite, what was the specific process? too vague...... In a flash of fire, the handkerchief turned into money...... She vaguely remembers that when the school held a New Year's Eve party one year, a male classmate performed this show...... The fire burned so fast that almost instantly, the handkerchief was gone, and she was pulled out of the audience as a participant who went up to the stage to check his second magic trick...... The prop was on the stage, and she examined it from top to bottom, not even the floor, yes, the floor, the picture in her mind became clearer, bigger and bigger, closer and closer, yes!
