"Being spied on?"
Xu Qian'an was stunned, walked to the window, and looked around sharply. After a moment, he retracted his gaze: "How do you know that someone is spying on you?"
He didn't feel that he was being spied on. Although the cultivation of a third-grade warrior was sealed, the Heavenly Gu would only be more sensitive in this regard.
"After you left, it suddenly said someone was watching us."
Mu Nanzhi was a little scared: "But I looked at the window for a long time and didn't find anyone spying on us. I was scared."
Xu Qian'an looked at the little white fox with a heavy face: "Do you have a natural talent in this area?"
The little white fox shook his head and said in a delicate voice: "My talent is stealth and speed."
Xu Qian'an questioned: "Isn't it your illusion?"
The little white fox shook his head: "My intuition is never wrong."
"I understand."
Xu Qian'an said: "You two stay in the pagoda for the time being. I did encounter some strange things when investigating the case recently."
He called the inn waiter, prepared some dry food and water, as well as daily necessities, and then sacrificed the Lingfu Pagoda to take Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox into it.
After doing all this, Xu Qian'an did not leave immediately. He walked to the table, spread out the paper, and habitually reviewed the case of the Chai family..
Although there was some attention and analysis before, Xu Qian'an always put the acquisition of dragon energy first and stopped at the point of scrutiny of the case.
Until today, after witnessing the death of a family of three, Xu Qian'an decided to put the dragon energy aside for the time being, devote himself to the case, and have a good time with the person behind the scenes.
"Follow me, kill people to silence them, monitor Mu Nanzhi, okay, play with you."
He has a lot of experience in criminal investigation and knowledge of criminal psychology. He is much more accurate and sharp in analyzing problems than the smart people of this era. "The source of everything is the murder case that happened in the Chai Mansion two weeks ago. The deceased is Chai Jianyuan, the suspect is the adopted son Chai Xian, and the witnesses are Chai Xing'er and everyone in the Chai family. Motive for murder: because of love!
"Note: Miss Chai Lan is missing."
Xu Qian'an did not stop writing and continued to write:
"The motive is not enough to support the suspect's patricide, or there may be other reasons, or he was framed.
"Chai Xing'er's ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan, and she was resentful; Chai Jianyuan's children were mediocre and unable to inherit the family business. Therefore, Chai Xing'er was the biggest beneficiary and had sufficient motives to kill."
After writing this paragraph, Xu Qian'an made a summary:
The first suspect is Chai Xian; the second suspect is Chai Xing'er.
Although in his speculation, Chai Xing'er is more suspicious than Chai Xian, there are witnesses that Chai Xian is the murderer. Investigations cannot be subjective, so Chai Xian is still the first suspect.
Xu Qian'an picked up the teacup, took a sip, and kept the posture of holding the cup. After more than ten seconds, he began to write the second stage of the case.
"Afterwards, Chai Xian repeatedly committed murders in Xiangzhou and even Zhangzhou, specifically targeting people in the underworld, and later affecting 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 and his subsequent actions to stir up trouble in Xiangzhou are completely contradictory and unreasonable.
There are only three possible situations:
"Conclusion: Chai Xian's motive for killing can be overturned. It was not for love, but for other reasons; Chai Xian was framed, and there is another hidden story in this case."
After sorting out the case, Xu Qian'an wrote down two doubts:
"Is the person who killed people in the small village the real murderer behind the scenes?"
"What is the purpose of committing murders in Xiangzhou?"
Xu Qian'an put down his pen and analyzed carefully:
"If the person behind the murder last night was the one behind the scenes, then he (she) is fully capable of ambush Chai Xian and eliminate him. But the person behind the scenes did not do so. If the person behind the scenes is Chai Xing'er, shouldn't Chai Xian be eliminated as soon as possible?"
Another contradiction has emerged here.
There are three contradictions in the whole case. If Chai Xian is the murderer, then the Chai Mansion murder case and the subsequent mass killings are contradictory.
Based on this contradiction, the possibility of Chai Xing'er, who has vested interests, framing Chai Xian is highlighted.
But the murder case in the small mountain village last night once again contradicted the speculation that "Chai Xing'er is the murderer behind the scenes."
In the first stage of the case, the Chai Mansion murder case, the suspect was locked in as Chai
Xian.
In the second stage of the case, the frequent murders in Xiangzhou locked the suspect in as Chai Xing'er.
In the third stage of the murder case in the small village, the suspicion of Chai Xing'er being the person behind the scenes was reduced, making the case even more confusing.
"Where is Chai Lan? Where did Chai Lan go?
"Assuming that Chai Xing'er was the mastermind behind the murder, but the murder of the family in the small mountain village was committed by Chai Lan, then the previous speculation can barely be established and does not need to be overturned. But what is the purpose of Chai Lan doing this?
"I can't make such a speculation. Chai Lan never appeared from beginning to end, and there is no clue related to her. Making such an assumption rashly will only lead me into a dead end."
After analyzing this, Xu Qian'an vaguely felt that something was wrong.
This is the intuition of an old detective.
Xu Qian'an leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes. This process lasted for more than ten minutes. He opened his eyes and had the answer in his heart.
Chaos!
Yes, the biggest problem with the Chai family case is chaos. There are contradictions everywhere, but what really made him realize that something was wrong was the motive!
"All the contradictions are unreasonable motives. Chai Xian's motive for killing Chai Jianyuan is unreasonable, the motive for the murder of the family in the small village is unreasonable, and killing so many people just to keep chai Xian is also unreasonable.
"It feels like using a cannon to hit a fly. If Chai Xian is a love-struck child who is willing to kill his father for Chai Lan, then as long as Chai Lan is hidden and used as a hostage, he will not
leave Xiangzhou.
"So, there is another hidden story in this case, and it is not as simple as it seems.
"Trace the source and start investigating from the Chai family..."
Xu Qian'an shook his hand and lit the paper, turning it into ashes, and threw it into the small celadon water tank for washing pens, and left the inn.
Half an hour later, the innkeeper sat behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus and sorting
out the account books.
A gentle voice chanting the Buddha's name came to my ears:
"Amitabha!"
The innkeeper looked up and saw a monk with Western characteristics, wearing a travel-
friendly robe, calm and restrained.
"Master, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?"
The innkeeper smiled.
He has been running this first-class inn in Xiangzhou for most of his life, and he has seen monks only a few times. In the Central Plains, Buddhist monks are "rare things". The young monk clasped his hands together, and his tone was as gentle as spring breeze:
"I want to ask if there is a man and a woman living in the inn recently. The man is wearing green clothes, the woman is plain-looking, and the mount is a war horse."
The monk's words seemed to have the power to convince people, and the shopkeeper felt strange in his heart, as if the monk opposite was a majestic father.
"There is such a pair of guests."
The shopkeeper told the truth: "If you say it is a man and a woman with ordinary looks, I have
no impression, but if you say war horses, then I know who the master is talking about. But
unfortunately, this guest just checked out and left."
Jingxin nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me, shopkeeper."
Late at night, Chai Mansion
A shadow stalked in the darkness, silently. The light of the patrolling guards' torches
distorted the reflection of the green belt, and for a moment, it illuminated the stalking
shadow.
But in the next moment, it disappeared silently, appeared in the darkness farther away, and continued to move towards its destination.
Not long after, he came to a secluded courtyard.
He did not enter immediately because there were many guards added near the courtyard,
including warriors in the realm of refining spirits.
But the shadow did not retreat because of this. He went around in another direction and came
to the back of the courtyard.
In the room, the candlelight was bright, and the rich aroma of meat filled the room. Three men sat around the table, eating antique soup, that is, hot pot.
Since Chai Xian invaded the cellar, the Chai Mansion has strengthened its defense here.
Not only did they send more people outside, but there were also masters "stationed" in the house day and night.
Xu Qian'an was outside the house, separated by a wall, concentrating and sensing: "The three people inside are all warriors above the Refining Spirit Realm. A sneak attack will only make them sense my presence in advance, thus attracting the guards outside... If it were me in the past, I would probably just rush in by force, but now I am no longer a crude warrior."
A dozen seconds later, under the foundation of the yard, in the hole, a sleeping mouse woke up and opened its blood-red eyes.
This is not an ordinary mouse. It is full of poison. The toxins are sprayed out with its breath,
infecting all the creatures around it.
Inside the house!
"Why did Chai Xian come back?"
A burly man said.
"I heard from the elders that they were looking for Xiao Lan. This madman thought Xiao Lan
was killed and hid in the cellar."
Another man shook his head: "Didn't he kidnap Xiao Lan?"
As they were talking, they heard a "squeaking" sound. Looking in the direction of the sound,
they saw a fat black rat standing in the shadow of the corner, with a pair of red eyes, silently
staring at the three people.
As warriors with a strong premonition of
intuition began to warn.
the moment the three men saw the rat, their
They instinctively grabbed the weapons leaning against the table and shouted loudly to
notify the guards outside.
But the next moment, the three fell limply on the table and fainted.
A few seconds later, a shadow emerged from under the table. Xu Qian'an looked around and listened carefully. After confirming that the guards outside the yard did not notice the movement inside, he turned to the entrance of the cellar and pulled open the heavy stone
cover.
The poison in the three people in the room has a strong paralysis effect, which will not endanger their lives. At most, they will be weak for a few days and recover.
As the stone cover opened, the dark cave entrance appeared. Xu Qian'an took out the prepared
candle and lit it. Holding the orange halo, he walked into the cellar along the steps.
He walked through the rows of corpses with brisk steps. He felt that this was the most
reassuring and comfortable place in the world.
But the investigation was important. He forced himself to resist the urge to talk and interact
with the corpses and went straight to the secret room deep in the cellar.
There is a custom in the Chai Mansion. After the death of the clan members, they are either cremated or their bodies are contributed to the family and turned into zombies.
This is to prevent the bodies of the clan members from being dug up by outsiders. Before the action, Xu Qian'an had received information from Li Lingsu that Chai Jianyuan's body was turned into a zombie by Chai Xing'er and stored in the cellar.
Chai Xing'er's argument was that the Chai family had suffered a major change and urgently needed power to protect the family's safety.
This reason won the unanimous approval of the Chai family.
But Xu Qiyan believed that there was a selfish intention of "repaying a tooth with a tooth".
Of course, Chai Xing'er's thoughts were not important. Xu Qiyan sneaked in this time to perform an autopsy.
The corpse can give a lot of information. The appearance of the wound, the injuries, etc. can
tell Xu Qiyan whether the crime was committed by an acquaintance.
Soon, he came to the secret room deep in the cellar.
The door of the secret room was locked.
Xu Qiyan put his palm on the lock core and exerted force suddenly. With a "clang", the lock
core was directly shaken away, shaking out a mist of dust.
There were not many corpses in the secret room, four on each side, wearing hoods and all gray clothes of the same style.
From the slightly bulging chests, it can be seen that three of them are female corpses.
Xu Qiyan took off the hoods of the corpses and recognized the third corpse on the left as Chai
Jianyuan after identification.
Interestingly, the third corpse on the right was a male corpse with clear features. According to Li Lingsu's description, "he" was Chai Xing'er's ex-husband. "Tsk, looking at each other, Chai Xing'er really has a grudge against Chai Jianyuan."
Xu Qi'an did not delay, kicked Chai Jianyuan's body down, stripped off his gray clothes, and
examined the body with a candle.
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 from the chest down and stopped
between the legs. He wrapped his hands with gray clothes and took out the bird eggs. "Ruling out attacking the crotch!"
This position is a relatively weak place for a warrior with a copper skin and iron bones.
Moving down further, the halo of the candle illuminated Chai Jianyuan's feet.
In the dim light, Xu Qi'an's pupils slightly expanded and his eyes were fixed. Chai Jianyuan has six toes on his left foot.
