Being spyed?
Xu Qian was stunned, walked to the window, glanced around with sharp eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze: How did you know you were being spied on?
He did not feel like he was being spyed. Although the cultivation level of a third-grade martial artist was sealed, Tian Gu would only be more sensitive in this regard.
It was after you left, and it suddenly said that someone was watching us.
Mu Nanzhi was a little scared: But I looked by the window for a long time, but I didn't find that I was being spied, which scared me.
Xu Qi'an looked at the little white fox with a heavy face: Do you have talented magical powers in this area?
The little white fox shook his head and said in a sweet voice: My talent is stealth and speed.
Xu Qi'an questioned: Isn't it your illusion?
The little white fox kept shaking his head: My intuition will never be wrong.
I see……
Xu Qi'an said: You two are temporarily staying in the Pagoda of the Buddha. I have indeed encountered some strange things in my investigation recently.
He called the waiter in the inn, prepared some dry food, water, and daily necessities, and then sacrificed the Lingfutu Pagoda to include Mu Nanzhi and Xiaobaihu.
After doing all this, Xu Qi'an did not leave immediately. He walked to the table, spread out the paper, and habitually reviewed the Chai family's case.
Although there was some attention and analysis before, Xu Qi'an always puts the capture of dragon energy first and only thinks about the case.
Until today, witnessing the death of a family of three, Xu Qi'an decided to put the dragon energy aside for the time being, devote himself to the case, and have fun with the people behind the scenes.
Follow me, kill someone to silence me, monitor Mu Nanzhi, okay, I will play with you.
He has quite a lot of experience in criminal investigation and knowledge of criminal psychology. He analyzes problems, which is much more accurate and keen than smart people of this era.
The source of everything was a murder case in Chai Mansion 20 years ago. The deceased was Chai Jianyuan, the suspect adopted son Chai Xian, and the witness Chai Xinger, including the Chai family.Motive for murder: because of love!
Note: Miss Chai Lan is missing.
Xu Qi'an did not stop writing, but continued to write:
The motive is not enough to support the suspect killing his father and his parents, or for other reasons, or being framed.
Chai Xing'er's ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan and was resentful; Chai Jianyuan's descendants were mediocre and could not inherit the family business.Therefore, Chai Xing'er is the biggest winner and has sufficient motives for murder.
After writing this passage, Xu Qian summarized it:
The first suspect is Chai Xian; the second suspect is Chai Xing'er.
Although Chai Xing'er is more suspicious than Chai Xian in his speculation, someone has proved that Chai Xian is the murderer.The investigation of cases cannot be idealistic, so Chai Xian is still the first suspect.
Xu Qi'an picked up the teacup, took a sip, and maintained the posture of holding the cup. After more than ten seconds, he began to write the case of the second stage.
Afterwards, Chai Xian committed murders repeatedly in Xiangzhou and even Zhangzhou, and he specialized in attacking people from the world, which later affected the people!
Note: This does not conform to the behavior of a suspect who killed his father for love.
In short, Chai Xian’s motive for committing the crime is completely contradictory and unreasonable with the subsequent act of stirring up trouble in Xiangzhou.
There are only three situations:
It was concluded that Chai Xian’s motive for murder could be overturned, not for love, but for another reason; Chai Xian was framed, and there is another hidden truth in this case.
After sorting out the case, Xu Qi'an then wrote down two doubts:
Are the people who kill people in a small village the real murderer behind the scenes?
What is the purpose of a series of murder cases in Xiangzhou?
Xu Qi'an put down his pen and analyzed it carefully:
If the person behind the scenes who killed someone last night was the one who killed him or her, then he (she) was fully capable of ambushing Chai Xian and eradicating him.But the person behind the scenes did not do this. If the person behind the scenes was Chai Xing'er, shouldn't Chai Xian be eliminated and quickly?
There is another conflict here.
There are three conflicts in the entire case. If Chai Xian is the murderer, then the Chai Mansion murder case and the subsequent mass murder case are contradictory.
Based on this contradiction, the possibility of Chai Xinger's vested interest framed Chai Xian.
But last night's family killing case in Xiaoshan Village once again had a conflict with the speculation that Chai Xing'er was the murderer behind the scenes.
The first phase of the case, the Chai Mansion murder case, locked the suspect as Chai Xian.
In the second phase of the case, frequent murders in Xiangzhou occurred, and the suspect was identified as Chai Xing'er.
The third phase of the small village family extermination case has alleviated the suspicion that Chai Xing'er is the person behind the scenes, making the case even more confusing.
Where is Chai Lan?Where did Chai Lan go?
Assuming that Chai Xing'er is behind the scenes, but Chai Lan did the case of the family annihilation in the small mountain village, then the previous speculation can barely be valid and there is no need to overturn it.But what is the purpose of Chai Lan doing this?
Such speculation cannot be made. Chai Lan never appeared from beginning to end, nor did she have any clues related to her. Making such assumptions will only lead me to a dead end.
After analyzing this, Xu Qian vaguely felt something was wrong.
This is the intuition of an old detective.
Xu Qi'an leaned back behind his waist, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes. The process lasted for more than ten minutes. He opened his eyes and had an answer in his heart.
confusion!
Yes, the biggest problem with the Chai family case is chaos and conflicts everywhere, but what really made him realize something was wrong was the motivation!
All the contradictions lie in the unreasonable motivation.Chai Xian’s motive for killing Chai Jianyuan was unreasonable, and the motive for killing so many people was unreasonable. The motive for killing so many people was also unreasonable.
It gives people the feeling of being shot by a cannon. If Chai Xian is a seed of infatuation and is willing to kill Chai Lan, then as long as he hides Chai Lan and takes it as a hostage, he will not leave Xiangzhou.
Therefore, there is something else in this case, not as simple as the surface.
Tracing the origin, starting from the Chai family...
Xu Qi'an shook his hand and lit the paper, turned it into ashes, threw it into the small celadon water tank of the washing pen, and left the inn.
……
Half an hour later, the inn shopkeeper sat behind the counter, fiddled with the abacus and sorted out the account book.
A gentle sound of chanting the Buddha's name came from my ears:
Amitabha!
The shopkeeper looked up and saw that he was a monk with the characteristics of a Western Region. He wore a robe that was easy to travel, calm and restrained.
Do the master want to stay in a hotel or be the best?
The shopkeeper's smile was full of smile.
He has run this top-class inn in Xiangzhou for most of his life and has seen monks at a handful of times. In the Central Plains, Buddhist monks are rare.
The young monk clasped his hands together, his tone as gentle as the spring breeze:
I want to ask if there was a man and a woman living in the store recently. The man was wearing green clothes, the woman looked average, and the mount was a war horse.
The monk's words seemed to have convincing power, and a strange feeling arose in the shopkeeper's heart, as if the monk opposite was a majestic father.
There is such a pair of guests.
The shopkeeper's truthful instructions: I don't remember you if you say you are a pair of ordinary-looking men and women, but if you want to talk about war horses, you will know who the master is talking about.But unfortunately, the guest officer just checked out and left.
Jingxin nodded and said: Thank you, the shopkeeper.
……
Late at night, Chai Mansion.
A shadow sneaked in the darkness, silently, and the torch of the patrol guards distorted the reflection of the green belt, and for a moment, this sneaking shadow shone out.
But in the next moment, it disappeared silently, appeared in the darkness further away, continuing to head towards its destination.
Soon, he came to a secluded courtyard.
I did not enter immediately because there were many guards near the courtyard, including many martial artists in the God Refining Realm.
But the black shadow did not retreat because of this. He went around in one direction and came to the rear of the courtyard.
In the room, the candlelight was bright and the rich meat fragrance filled the room. Three men sat around the table, eating antique soup, that is, hot pot.
Since Chai Xian invaded the cellar, Chai Mansion has strengthened its defense here.
Not only are there extra staff outside, but there are also experts in the room stationing day and night.
Xu Qi'an was outside the house separated by a wall, concentrating on his mind and sensing:
The three of them inside were all warriors above the God Refining Realm. The sneak attack would only allow them to sense my existence in advance, thus attracting guards from outside... If it were me in the past, I would probably have to rely on force to enter, but now I am no longer a vulgar warrior.
More than ten seconds later, under the foundation of the yard and in the cave, a sleeping mouse woke up and opened his blood-red eyes.
This is not an ordinary mouse, it is full of poison, and toxins are spewed out with its breath, infecting all living things around it.
……
indoor!
Why did Chai Xian come back?
said a burly man.
I heard from the clan that it was looking for Xiao Lan. This lunatic thought Xiao Lan was killed and hid in the cellar.
Another man shook his head: Didn’t Xiaolan be kidnapped by him?
As they were talking, they heard the squeaking sound. Following the sound, it was a fat black rat. It stood in the shadow of the corner of the wall, with red eyes staring at the three people silently.
As a warrior who has a strong premonition of danger, the moment the three men saw the mouse, their intuition began to warn them.
They instinctively grabbed the weapons leaning against the table and wanted to shout loudly to inform the guards outside.
But the next moment, the three of them fell softly on the table and fainted.
A few seconds later, a shadow emerged from under the table. Xu Qi'an looked around and listened, confirming that the guards outside the yard did not notice the movement inside. He turned around and came to the entrance of the cellar and pulled open the heavy stone cover.
Among the three people in the room, the poison has a strong paralysis effect and will not endanger life. At most, it will be weak for a few days to recover.
As the stone cover opened, the dark hole appeared. Xu Qi'an took out the prepared candle and lit it. He held the orange halo and entered the cellar along the steps.
He walked through rows of corpses, his steps were light, and he felt that this was the most comfortable and comfortable place in the world.
But investigating the case is important. He forcibly resisted the urge to talk and interact with the corpse and went straight to the secret room deep in the cellar.
There is a custom in Chai Mansion that after the tribe dies, they either cremate or contribute the body to the family and refine it into a walking zombie.
This is to prevent the corpses of the tribe from being excavated by outsiders.
Before the operation, Xu Qi'an had already obtained information from Li Lingsu. Chai Jianyuan's body was refined into a walking zombie by Chai Xing'er and stored in the cellar.
Chai Xinger's rhetoric is that the Chai family has undergone a major change and urgently needs strength to protect the safety of the family.
This reason won unanimous approval from the Chai family.
But Xu Qi'an believes that there is a selfish desire to be too tit for tooth.
Of course, Chai Xing'er's idea is not important. Xu Qi'an's infiltration came from the autopsy.
The corpse can give a lot of information, the appearance of the wound, the injury, etc., which can tell Xu Qi'an whether he was an acquaintance committing the crime.
Soon, he came to the secret room deep in the cellar.
The secret room door is locked.
Xu Qi'an's palm was pressed against the lock core and exerted a lot of force. With a clang, the lock core was directly shaken away, shaking out of dust.
There were not many corpses in the secret room, four on each side, wearing headbands and all in gray clothes, the same style.
From the slightly bulging chest, three of them were female corpses.
Xu Qi'an took off his corpse head hood, and after identification, he recognized that the third corpse on the left was Chai Jianyuan.
Interestingly, the third corpse on the right is a male corpse with clear facial features. According to Li Lingsu's description, he is Chai Xing'er's ex-husband.
Tsk, looking at each other, Chai Xing'er really has resentment towards Chai Jianyuan.
Xu Qian did not delay, kicked Chai Jianyuan's body, stripped naked from gray clothes, and held a candle to examine the body.
There was a sutured wound on Chai Jianyuan's chest, but the corpse spots all over destroyed the traces of other scars.
Xu Qi'an moved the candle, and the orange halo moved down from his chest, stopped between his legs, wrapped his hands in gray clothes and took out a bird egg.
Exclude attacks on the crotch!
This position is a relatively weak place for the warrior with copper and iron bones.
Moving down further, the candle halo illuminated Chai Jianyuan's feet.
In the darkness, Xu Qi'an's pupils expanded slightly and his eyes were frozen.
Chai Jianyuan's left foot has six toes.
Xu Qian was stunned, walked to the window, glanced around with sharp eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze: How did you know you were being spied on?
He did not feel like he was being spyed. Although the cultivation level of a third-grade martial artist was sealed, Tian Gu would only be more sensitive in this regard.
It was after you left, and it suddenly said that someone was watching us.
Mu Nanzhi was a little scared: But I looked by the window for a long time, but I didn't find that I was being spied, which scared me.
Xu Qi'an looked at the little white fox with a heavy face: Do you have talented magical powers in this area?
The little white fox shook his head and said in a sweet voice: My talent is stealth and speed.
Xu Qi'an questioned: Isn't it your illusion?
