Chapter 43: The Suspect

Chai Xian didn't answer immediately, he said for a moment, and said:

"My parents died when I was a child, and I was helpless, begging for a living in Xiangzhou. Later, my father-in-law adopted me, and he treated me very well, even more so than his own son. Therefore, all three brothers hated me and hated me. ”

"Only Xiaolan treats me sincerely, and has never looked down on me because of my past........"

Speaking of this, Chai Xian was in a trance, as if he had returned to many years ago, in that hot summer, the dirty and smelly little beggar was led back to Chai Mansion, and the girl hiding behind the screen poked her head out and looked quietly, the two looked at each other, and he lowered his head with inferiority.

The girl smiled brightly.

Listening to Chai Xian's talk about the past, Xu Qi'an was in a trance and remembered Wei Yuan.

Empress Shangguan was like a bright light that shone into Wei Yuan's miserable teenage life.

"On that day, after dinner, the servants of the house spread the word that my father-in-law wanted to see me. I know that he is because of Xiao Lan's business, and before this, we had several disputes because of Xiao Lan's marriage.

"I love Xiaolan and want my father-in-law to marry her to me, but my father-in-law feels that I am a person from Chai Mansion and am destined to serve Chai Mansion. Xiaolan marrying me is just the icing on the cake, and marrying the Huangfu family is more in line with the interests of the family. ”

Orange Cat Ann "hehe" smiled: "That's not wrong. ”

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

"After sending away the servants, I went to see my father-in-law, and I noticed a fight in my father's room, so I hurried over.........

"I was a step late, and when I arrived, my father-in-law had already been killed in the room, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. I was sad and angry, and at this time, my aunt arrived with her people.

"She and her people accused me of killing my father-in-law and wanted to clean up the portal, and I explained in every possible way, but they were indifferent, and no one believed me. In desperation, I had no choice but to summon the iron corpse and kill all the way out of Chaifu.

"Although I didn't kill my father-in-law, that night, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of many of the Chai family's children. After escaping from Xiangzhou City, I hid here to recuperate. That family had received my favor and was always willing to believe me, and did not think that I was a murderer because of the gossip outside. ”

Orange Cat An interrupted, "Did you rob Xiao Lan?"

Chai Xian shook his head: "Afterwards, I didn't worry about Xiaolan, I secretly sneaked back to Chai Mansion, but I didn't find her." I privately questioned the servant of the Chai Mansion, and only learned that she had disappeared as early as the night of her father's death, and I suspected that she was more than lucky. ”

The orange cat moved in his heart: "You sneaked into the cellar where the corpse was hidden tonight, are you looking for Xiaolan?"

Chai Xian nodded, with happiness in his eyes: "I didn't find her." ”

Orange Cat An asked again: "In the territory of Zhangzhou, who is the wicked person who kills people and refines corpses by making murders everywhere?"

"I don't know. ”

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

"Someone pretending to be me is killing people and causing murders, which is to push me into a corner, and I can't turn over at all. At first, it was some people in the rivers and lakes who were killed, and then some small gangs, and now even ordinary people are not spared.

"This demon slaying conference is the result they want. ”

Orange Cat Ann tentatively said, "Why don't you run away?"

Chai Xian asked rhetorically: "Why should I escape, my father-in-law's death is unknown, Xiaolan's whereabouts are unknown, the murderer who framed me has not been found, and he is doing evil outside, why should I escape?"

Brother, your temperament is a bit extreme........ Xu Qi'an suddenly thought that if the real culprit behind the scenes knew Chai Xian's temperament well, then the purpose of doing all this was to force him to stay.

Conspiracy Yang is good!

Chai Xian suddenly sighed: "During this period of time, I have been going out to pursue the real culprits behind the scenes, looking for those places where murders are often committed, but the ones I caught are some young people who pretend to use my name, rob houses, or refine corpses. ”

Orange Cat Ann said: "In your heart, there must be someone who is suspicious. ”

Chai Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "I suspect that my aunt is framing me." ”

The orange cat's face showed a humanized expression, and he snorted and said, "Tell me about it." ”

In response to the orange cat, there was a brief silence, and then Chai Xian sighed:

"Who else but my aunt? The eldest brother died, and the second and third brothers were all mud that couldn't support the wall. If her stepfather died, the only people who could threaten her were Xiaolan and me. This incident, killing three birds with one stone, isn't it.

"Until tonight, I had been suspicious of her, but I had no certainty or proof. But tonight, I sneaked into Chaifu, and heard with my own ears in her yard that she was happy in bed with wild men.

"Auntie, she has changed, she used to be so, and desire made her ugly. ”

Ah, this! You probably know that wild man, it is Li Lingsu on the shore of Daming Lake back then.......... The orange cat complained silently in his heart.

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

There is a basic point of view in criminal investigation: in a criminal case, whoever gains is the suspect

In the case of Chai Fu, Chai Xinger can be called the only beneficiary, so she has a motive for committing the crime, of course, this is not absolute, so she is a "suspect".

However, according to the subsequent development of the case, "Chai Xian" repeatedly committed murders in Xiangzhou and even other parts of Zhangzhou, which did not conform to the normal style of a criminal.

Xu Qi'an was puzzled by this before, until now, when he saw Chai Xian, the disappearance of such Xiaolan and the planting of the murder case were all to keep Chai Xian?

So there has to be a precondition here, that is, the murderer behind the scenes knows Chai Xian's temperament well, and people who are not familiar with it can't do this kind of operation.

"Thank you for telling me, I already understand what happened. If Your Excellency is really wronged, I will try to find out and return your innocence. ”

Orange Cat Antao.

But before you do that, you have to give me back the dragon energy......... As soon as he thought so, he heard Chai Xian whisper:

"Thank you, Your Excellency is waiting for the arrival of the ontology for me to tell me so much. ”

........ Orange Cat An's cat face was stiff, and she almost "meowed", and she passed the test cutely.

Chai Xian sighed: "I'm sorry, I don't believe anyone now, if you really want to help me, you can also, let's use this place as a contact location, if there is any progress, or something to contact me, you can hand over the letter to Erya." ”

In this way, whether I am good or evil, I will not be able to harm the family for the time being......... Orange Cat An said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

As soon as the words fell, Chai Xian popped out a gas machine and stunned the orange cat.

...........

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

Except for a fainting orange cat, the alley was empty, and there was no one.

Xu Qi'an jumped onto the roof of a yellow mud house and looked around, but he didn't sense the breath of dragon qi, which meant that Chai Xian had stayed away from this area.

"You're pretty careful!"

He landed lightly, picked up the fainting orange cat, pinched his eyebrows, and slowly left.

The Heart Gu controls animals, and there are two modes, one is "influence", which can make the beast group and insect colony for its own use. One is "possession", in which a wisp of primordial spirit is immersed and the animal is used as a stand-in.

In layman's terms, "influence" is a wide range of skills. Possession can only exert influence on a single animal, or two or three animals, depending on the strength of the primordial spirit.

He was able to manipulate the orange cat to run so far, all relying on the tenacity of the Sanpin Yuan Shen.

In addition, the way the corpse Gu manipulates the walking corpse is similar to the "possession" of the heart Gu. The difference is that Heart Gu needs its own Yuan Shen as its power. The corpse Gu is implanted in the corpse, and the consumption itself is not large.

He ran and jumped in the shadows, finally returning to the inn.

Mu Nanyu and the little white fox had fallen asleep, the upper body of the little white fox was buried in the quilt, and the two hind legs stretched out of the quilt.

After more than ten seconds, he kicked a few more times like a convulsion.

After repeating this several times, Xu Qi'an guessed that it might be hypoxic, so he took its head out of the bed.

Sure enough, it was good.

..........

Following!

Early in the morning, wearing a light blue cotton robe, silver-patterned boots on his feet, and a hosta hairpin, the graceful and suave Holy Son of Tianzong came to the inn.

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

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

"What do you always think of me?" Xu Qi'an said blankly.

Since the little fox got up in the morning, he looked at him with strange eyes, and the black button-like fox eyes were full of three points of hostility, three points of fear, three points of grievance, and one point of pity....... Well, that's the mixed feeling anyway.

The little fox whispered:

"I dreamed yesterday that you took revenge on me and wanted to strangle me to death, and I begged for mercy like you, and you didn't let me go. ”

It had an aggrieved expression.

Isn't it because you have a poor sleeping position and lack of oxygen in your head buried in the bed........ The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched, and he asked rhetorically:

"Why do you have such dreams? To be precise, why should I take revenge on you. It's not that you did something bad last night, and your heart is empty. ”

The little fox was too young to be speechless and whined.

Li Lingsu quickly leaned over, sat down at the table, rubbed his waist, and said with a smile:

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

Mu Nanyu said coldly: "What bad things can it do? Unlike some men, it doesn't matter if it's lustful and amorous, even if shemales are not taboo, sometimes, it doesn't matter if it's dead or alive." ”

Li Lingsu and Xu Qi'an's faces stiffened suddenly.

"Madame's ........ what she said" Li Lingsu laughed dryly twice and said: "There are also good demons, you can't divide good and evil by race, besides, what does it mean to live or die without care?"

Tuk Tuk!

This guy has a weak heart, he still has a good relationship with the demon clan? Xu Qi'an knocked on the table a few times and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Li Lingsu immediately lowered his voice, "Senior, I'm in some trouble. ”

After a pause, he seemed to be a little ashamed to speak, and his voice became lower and lower: "I fell in love with Gu again, you are a master of Gu arts, can you pull out the love Gu for me." ”

Sick and delicate women don't provoke much......... Xu Qi'an said: "The Gu planted by Chai Xing'er?"

Li Lingsu looked sad and nodded.

At this time, the shopkeeper leaned over, bowed down and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Li Lingsu glanced at Mu Nanyu and Xu Qian's food, thought about it, and said:

"The dishes in the store that nourish the kidneys and aphrodisiac are all brought up. ”

....... The shopkeeper looked at him strangely, "Okay, good ......"

His eyes immediately fell on the little white fox, and he praised it flatteringly:

"It's really energetic, unlike the cat that we kept in charge, it has no energy at all, it seems to be sick. ”

No, it's just a hollowed out....... Xu Qian said.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he retreated.

Mu Nanyu gloated:

"I think you are destined to commit peach blossoms, first by the Oriental sisters under house arrest for half a year, squeezed out of your body, and then by Chai Xing'er to plant a love Gu. Tsk, you will one day die at the hands of a woman. ”

Hey, Mrs. Xu rarely mocks me like this, is it because she is jealous........ Ah, my damn charm, we can't do it......... Li Lingsu smiled politely and kept his distance from the mediocre-looking Mrs. Xu.

Mu Nanyu didn't know the inner drama of the Holy Son, otherwise he would spit on his face.

"But since you are with him, you can ask him for advice on how to deal with conflicts between women. This guy is just like you, he is full of peach blossom debts, and those women are far better than yours regardless of their status, status, and appearance. Mu Nanyu sneered.

A peach blossom debt, appearance, status, and status 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 was.

If this thing sees Mu Nanyu's true face in the future, I don't know how he will feel, well, the period agreed with the national teacher seems to be approaching......... Xu Qi'an took a sip of porridge and said in a deep voice:

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

"What?!"

The Son's voice rose abruptly.

Mu Nanyu also looked over.

Xu Qi'an briefly said what happened last night, of course, hiding the bed scene between the Holy Son and Chai Xing'er is not to save face for the scumbag, but it will make "Xu Qian" look tasteless.

Li Lingsu rubbed his waist and said solemnly:

"I still don't believe that Apricot would do such a thing, but as the senior said, she is indeed the most suspicious. But suspicion is only suspicion, and if you can't find evidence, you can't prove that she is the real culprit behind the scenes.

"Everything Chai Xian said, isn't it also his side of the story. ”

Xu Qi'an said "um", chewed the soft steamed bun, and said:

"So the key person now is Chai Lan, whether she is alive or dead, you have to find her. Also, you go to Chai Mansion and ask what happened on the night of the incident. Chai Xing'er's rhetoric, Chai Xian's rhetoric, and the rhetoric of Chaifu's children, the three parties are compared to see if they can find clues.

"Tomorrow is the Demon Slayer Conference, so let's wait and see what happens. ”

The Buddhist monks represented by Pure Heart and Pure Yuan also intervened in this matter, so his first thing now is not to find out the truth of the case, but to find Chai Xian and extract dragon qi.

Otherwise, once it is discovered that Chai Xian is the host of dragon qi by Pure Heart and Pure Yuan, he will inevitably enter the Buddha Gate.

With his current cultivation and the power of the Futu Pagoda, to deal with this group of monks, he can only say that he is open.

The other party can't help him, and he can't kill the other party.

The point is that Pure Heart and Pure Fate may have a way to connect with King Kong, and if they delay for too long, he may face a Sanpin, or even an Arhat.

"By the way, the Demon Slaying Conference will be held tomorrow in the Xianghe River outside the city. Li Lingsu said.

PS: I know I owe you a chapter, and I haven't forgotten it, but I really can't add it lately, and it's hard to write a case quickly. After this plot, I will definitely return it. Don't scold, don't scold!
