Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Suspect

?

Chai Xian did not answer immediately. He paused and said:

"My parents died when I was young. I was helpless and begged for a living in Xiangzhou. Later, my adoptive father adopted me. He treated me very well, even more than his own son. Therefore, my three brothers all disliked and hated me."

"Only Xiao Lan treated me sincerely and never looked down on me because of my past..."

At this point, Chai Xian was in a trance, as if he had returned to many years ago, that hot summer, when the dirty and smelly little beggar was brought back to Chai Mansion. The girl hiding behind the screen poked her head out and looked at him quietly. When their eyes met, The lowered his head in inferiority.

The girl smiled brightly.

Listening to Chai Xian's story about the past, Xu Qian'an was in a trance and thought of Wei Yuan.

Queen Shangguan was like a bright light that illuminated Wei Yuan's miserable youth.

"That day, after dinner, the servants of the mansion told me that my foster father wanted to see me. I knew he wanted to see me because of Xiao Lan. Before that, we had several arguments about Xiao Lan's marriage.

"I love Xiao Lan and want my foster father to marry her to me, but my foster father thinks that I am a member of the Chai Mansion and destined to serve the Chai Mansion.. Xiao Lan marrying me is just icing on the cake, and marrying into the Huangfu family is more in line with the family's interests."

The orange cat An laughed and said, "That's not wrong."

Chai Xian's eyes dimmed slightly, and he continued:

"After sending the servant away, I went to see my adoptive father. Halfway through, I noticed a fight in my adoptive father's room, so I hurried over...

"I was a step late. When I arrived, my adoptive father had been killed in the room, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. I was sad and angry. At this time, my aunt arrived with the tribe members.

"She and the tribe members accused me of killing my adoptive father without saying a word, and wanted to clean up the family. I tried to explain in every possible way, but they were indifferent and no one believed me. In desperation, I had to summon the iron corpse and kill my way out of the Chai Mansion.

"Although I didn't kill my adoptive father, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of many Chai family members that night. After escaping from Xiangzhou City, I hid here to recuperate. That family had received my kindness and was always willing to believe me. They did not believe that I was the murderer because of the rumors outside."

Orange Cat An interrupted: "Did you kidnap Xiao Lan?"

Chai Xian shook his head: "Afterwards, I was worried about Xiao Lan, and I sneaked back to the Chai Mansion secretly, but I didn't find her. I privately interrogated the servants of the Chai Mansion and found out that she had disappeared on the night of my adoptive father's death. I suspected that she was in danger."

Orange Cat An's heart moved: "You are here today "Chai Xian nodded, with relief in his eyes: "I didn't find her."

An the orange cat asked again: "Who is the evil person who committed murders and refined corpses in Zhangzhou?"

"I don't know."

Chai Xian's face was livid, and his tone and expression were full of hatred:

"Someone pretended to be me and killed people everywhere, committing murders. This is to force me into a desperate situation and make it impossible to turn over. At first, some people in the underworld were killed, and then some small gangs were killed. Now even civilians are not spared.

"This demon-killing conference is the result they want."

An the orange cat tried: "Why don't you run away?"

Chai Xian asked back: "Why should I run away? My adoptive father died unclearly, Xiao Lan's whereabouts are unknown, and the murderer who framed me has not been found. He is doing evil outside. Why should I run away?"

Brother, you have a bit of an extreme temperament... Xu Qian'an suddenly thought that if the real murderer behind the scenes knew Chai Xian's temperament very well, then the purpose of doing all this was to force him to stay.

The conspiracy and the conspiracy were used well!

Chai Xian suddenly sighed: "During this period of time, I have been constantly going out to pursue the real murderer behind the scenes, looking for places where murders often occur, but the ones I caught were some villains who used my name to rob houses or refine corpses."

The orange cat An said: "In your heart, there must be a suspect."

Chai Xian hesitated slightly and said: "I suspect that it is my aunt who is framing me." The orange cat showed a human expression on his face, and he said with a sigh: "Tell me." The orange cat responded with a brief silence, and then Chai Xian sighed:

"Besides my aunt, who else can it be? My eldest brother died young, and my second and third brothers are useless. If my adoptive father dies, the only ones who can threaten her are Xiao Lan and me. This incident kills three birds with one stone, doesn't it?

"Before tonight, I had always suspected her, but I had no certainty or evidence. But tonight, I sneaked into Chai's house and heard her having sex with a wild man in her yard.

"Aunt has changed. She would never have been so promiscuous before. Desire has made her ugly."

Ah, this! You probably know that wild man, Li Lingsu from Daming Lake back then... The orange cat An complained silently in his heart.

Except for the wrong assessment of "wild man", Chai Xian's judgment is basically consistent with his guess.

There is a basic view in criminal investigation: in a criminal case, whoever benefits is the

suspect

In the case of Chai Mansion, Chai Xing'er can be said to be the only beneficiary, so she has a motive for committing the crime. Of course, this is not absolute, so she is a "suspect".

But according to the subsequent development of the case, "Chai Xian" repeatedly committed murders in Xiangzhou and even other places in Zhangzhou, which does not conform to the normal behavior of a criminal.

Xu Qian'an was confused about this before, until now, when he saw Chai Xian, Xiao Lan's disappearance and the frame-up of the murder were all for the purpose of keeping Chai Xian? So there must be a prerequisite here, that is, the murderer behind the scenes knows Chai Xian's temperament very well, and people who are not familiar with him cannot do this. "Thank you for telling me, I already understand what happened. If you are really wronged, I will try to find out and clear your name."

An said.

But before that, you have to return the dragon energy to me first...... He just thought about it, and heard Chai Xian whispered:

"Thank you, you told me so much, you are waiting for the real body to arrive."

.....An's cat face was stiff, and he almost "meowed" and got away with it.

Chai Xian sighed: "Sorry, I don't trust anyone now. If you really want to help me, you can. We will use this place as a contact point. If there is any progress or if you need to contact me, you can give the letter paper to Erya. "

In this way, no matter whether I am good or evil, I can't hurt this family for the time being...An said in a deep voice: "Okay! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Xian released a stream of energy and knocked out the

orange cat.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qian'an's real body hurried over, like a ghost in the darkness, his figure flickered and appeared in the alley.

Except for an unconscious orange cat, the alley was empty, with no one in sight.

Xu Qian'an jumped onto the roof of a yellow mud house and looked around. He did not sense

the breath of dragon energy, which meant that Chai Xian had already left the area.

"You are quite careful! "

He landed lightly, picked up the fainted orange cat, pinched his brows, and walked away

slowly.

The heart insect controls animals in two modes. One is "influence", which can make the beast swarm and insect swarm serve its own purpose. The other is "possession", where a wisp of soul immerses in it and uses the animal as a substitute.

In simple terms, "influence" is a large-scale skill. Possession can only affect a single, or two or three animals, depending on the strength of the soul.

He can control the orange cat to run so far, all relying on the resilience of the third-grade

soul.

In addition, the way the corpse insect controls the walking corpse is similar to the "possession" of the heart insect. The difference is that the heart insect needs its own soul as power. The corpse insect implants a sub-insect in the corpse, which consumes little itself.

He ran while jumping in the shadow and finally returned to the inn.

Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox Already asleep, the little white fox's upper body was buried in the quilt, and its two hind legs stretched out of the quilt. When Xu Qi'an's shadow jumped back to the room, he happened to see its two hind legs kicking a few times like twitching.

Ten seconds later, it kicked a few more times like twitching.

After repeating this several times, Xu Qi'an guessed that it might be lack of oxygen, so he

pulled its head out of the quilt.

Sure enough, it got better.

The next day!

In the morning, the romantic and suave Son of the Tianzong, wearing a light blue cotton robe, silver-patterned boots, and a jade hairpin tied in his hair, came to the inn.

He stepped into the lobby, glanced around, and quickly locked onto the table by the window.

There were mediocre-looking men and women sitting at the table, and a little white fox lying on the table drinking porridge. It looked up at Xu Qi'an from time to time, and then lowered its head to drink porridge.

"Why are you always looking at me? "Xu Qi'an said blankly.

This little fox has been looking at him with strange eyes since he got up in the morning. In the

fox eyes like black buttons, there are three parts of hostility, three parts of fear, three parts of grievance, and one part of pity... Well, in short, it is this complicated feeling.

The little fox said softly:

"I dreamed that you took revenge on me yesterday and wanted to strangle me to death. I

begged for mercy from you, but you didn't let me go."

It showed an aggrieved expression.

Isn't it because you slept too badly and your head was buried in the quilt and lacked

oxygen...Xu Qi'an twitched his mouth and asked back:

"Why do you have such a dream? To be precise, why should I take revenge on you. It's because

you did something bad last night and you feel guilty."

The little fox was too young and speechless, whimpering twice.

Li Lingsu walked over quickly, sat down at the table, rubbed his waist, and smiled:

"What bad things did this little thing do last night?"

Mu Nanzhi said coldly: "What bad things can it do? Unlike some men, who are lustful and

romantic, and don't care about humans and demons, sometimes, they don't care about life or

death."

Li Lingsu and Xu Qiyan's faces suddenly stiffened.

"Madam, what you said..." Li Lingsu laughed dryly and said: "There are good demons, and we

can't divide good and evil by race. Besides, what does it mean to not care about life or death?"

Knock knock!

This guy is guilty, he still has a demon lover? Xu Qiyan knocked on the table a few times and said: "What do you want?"

Li Lingsu immediately lowered his voice, "Senior, I'm in trouble." After a pause, he seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and his voice became lower and lower:

"I'm infected with love Gu again. You are a master of Gu, can you remove the love Gu for me?"

Don't mess with sick women... Xu Qiyan said: "The Gu planted by Chai Xing'er?"

Li Lingsu nodded with a look of misery on his face.

At this time, the waiter came over and bowed and asked, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Li Lingsu looked at the food of Mu Nanzhi and Xu Qian, thought for a while, and said:

"Bring up all the dishes in the store that can nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang." .... The waiter looked at him strangely, "Okay, okay..."

He immediately looked at the little white fox and praised it flatteringly:

"It is really energetic, unlike the cat raised by our shopkeeper, which has no energy today, as

if it is sick."

No, it is just hollowed out...Xu Qi'an said with peace of mind.

After the waiter finished speaking, he retreated.

Mu Nanzhi gloated:

"I think you are destined to have an affair. First, you were imprisoned by the Dongfang sisters

for half a year, draining your body, and then you were planted with a love poison by Chai

Xing'er. Tsk tsk, you will die at the hands of a woman one day."

Hey, Madam Xu rarely mocks me like this, is it because she is jealous... Ah, my damn charm, it

is impossible for us... Li Lingsu smiled politely and kept a distance from the plain-looking Madam Xu.

Mu Nanzhi didn't know the inner drama of the Son of Heaven, otherwise she would spit in his

face.

"But since you are with him, you can ask him how to deal with conflicts between women. This

guy is like you, with a lot of peach blossom debts, and those women are far better than your

lovers in terms of status, position and appearance. "Mu Nanzhi sneered.

A debt of love? His appearance, status and position are far better than my confidante? The Holy Son glanced at Xu Qian and didn't believe it.

Looking at Mrs. Xu's appearance, he knew what kind of taste Xu Qian had.

If this guy sees Mu Nanzhi's true face in the future, I wonder what he will think. Well, the time

agreed with the national teacher seems to be approaching... Xu Qian'an drank a mouthful of porridge and said in a deep voice:

"Be careful of this woman Chai Xing'er. I met Chai Xian last night."

"What?!"

The Holy Son's voice suddenly rose.

Mu Nanzhi also looked over.

Xu Qian'an briefly recounted what happened last night. Of course, he concealed the bed scene

between the Holy Son and Chai Xing'er, not to save face for the scumbag, but to make "Xu Qian" look tasteless.

Li Lingsu rubbed his waist and said seriously:

"I still don't believe Xing'er would do such a thing, but as the senior said, she is indeed the

most suspicious. But suspicion is only suspicion. If there is no evidence, it cannot be proved that she is the real murderer behind the scenes. "Everything Chai Xian said was just his one-sided story."

Xu Qian'an said "hmm", chewing the soft and fragrant steamed bun, and said:

"So the key person now is Chai Lan. Whether she is alive or dead, we must find her. In

addition, you go to the Chai Mansion and ask about what happened that night. Compare Chai

Xing'er's words, Chai Xian's words, and the words of the children of the Chai Mansion to see if you can find any clues.

"Tomorrow is the Demon Slaughter Conference. Let's wait and see what happens then."

Buddhist monks represented by Jingxin and Jingyuan also intervened in this matter, so his

first priority now is not to find out the truth of the case, but to find Chai Xian and extract the dragon energy. Otherwise, once Jingxin and Jingyuan find out that Chai Xian is the host of the dragon energy,

he will definitely be converted to Buddhism.

With his current cultivation and the power of the pagoda, it is only a 50-50 chance to deal

with this group of monks.

The other party can't do anything to him, and he can't kill the other party.

The key is that Jingxin and Jingyuan may have a way to contact Du Nan Vajra. If he delays too

long, he may face a third-grade or even an Arhat.

"By the way, the Demon Slaughtering Conference will be held in Xianghe River outside the

city tomorrow." Li Lingsu said.
