Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, walked to the window, glanced around sharply, and then retracted his gaze: "How do you know you're being spied on?"
He didn't have the feeling of being spied on. Although the cultivation base of the third-rank martial artist was sealed, the Heavenly Gu would only be more sensitive in this regard.
"After you left, 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 spied on. It scared me."
Xu Qi'an looked at the little white fox with a serious face: "Do you have this kind of talent?"
The little white fox shook his head, and said softly: "My talents are stealth and speed."
Xu Qi'an questioned: "Isn't it your illusion?"
The little white fox kept shaking his head: "My intuition is never wrong"
"I see."
Xu Qi'an said: "The two of you are temporarily staying in the Pagoda of the Buddha. I did encounter some strange things during my investigation recently."
He called the waiter in the inn, prepared some dry food, water, and daily necessities, then sacrificed the Lingfutu Pagoda, and took Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox into it.
After finishing all this, Xu Qi'an did not leave immediately, walked to the table, spread out the paper, and habitually reviewed the case of the Chai family.
Although there was a certain amount of attention and analysis before, Xu Qi'an always put the capture of dragon energy in the first place, and the scrutiny of the case was limited.
Until today, after witnessing the death of a family of three, Xu Qi'an decided to put his dragon spirit aside for the time being, devote himself to the case, and have fun with the people behind the scenes.
"Follow me, kill people, keep an eye on Mu Nanzhi, okay, let's play with you."
He has quite a wealth of experience in criminal investigation, as well as knowledge of criminal psychology, and his analysis of problems is far more precise and sensitive than the smart people of this era.
"The source of everything is the murder case that happened in Chai's mansion 20 years ago. The deceased Chai Jianyuan, the suspect's adopted son Chai Xian, the witness Chai Xing'er, including everyone in the Chai family. The motive for the murder: because of love!
"Note: Miss Chai Lan is missing."
Xu Qi'an did not stop writing, and continued to write:
"The motive is not enough to support the suspect's killing his father and relatives, or there are other reasons, or he was framed.
"Chai Xinger's ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan, and she harbored resentment; Chai Jianyuan's heirs were mediocre and unable to inherit the family business. Therefore, Chai Xinger was the biggest beneficiary and had sufficient motives to kill."
After writing this paragraph, Xu Qi'an made a summary:
The first suspect, Chai Xian; the second suspect, Chai Xinger.
Although in his speculation, Chai Xing'er was more suspected than Chai Xian, there was evidence that Chai Xian was the murderer. The investigation cannot be ideal, so Chai Xian is still the first suspect.
Xu Qi'an picked up the teacup, took a sip, and kept holding the cup. Ten seconds later, he began to write the second stage of the case.
"Afterwards, Chai Xian committed murders repeatedly in Xiangzhou and even Zhangzhou.
"Note: This is not in line with 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.
This is nothing more than three situations:
"Conclusion: Chai Xian's motive for killing can be overturned, not for love, but for another reason; Chai Xian was framed, and there is another hidden story in this case."
After sorting out the facts of the case, Xu Qi'an then wrote down two doubtful points:
"Is the murderer in the small village the real murderer behind the scenes?"
"What is the purpose of the murder case in Xiangzhou?"
Xu Qi'an put down his pen and carefully analyzed:
"If the person behind the scenes killed last night, then he (she) is fully capable of ambushing Chai Xian and eradicating him. But the person behind the scenes did not do so. If the person behind the scenes is Chai Xing'er, Chai Xian should not be killed. Get rid of it and hurry up?"
Here again there is a contradiction.
In the whole case, there are three contradictions. If Chai Xian is the murderer, then the Chaifu murder and the subsequent mass killings are contradictory.
Based on this contradiction, it highlights the possibility that Chai Xinger's vested interests framed Chai Xian.
But last night's Xiaoshan Village extermination case once again contradicted the speculation that "Chai Xing'er is the murderer behind the scenes".
? In the first phase of the case, the Chaifu murder case, the suspect was identified as Chai Xian.
In the second phase of the case, there were frequent murders in Xiangzhou, and the suspect was identified as Chai Xing'er.
The third stageZi said.
"I heard from the elders that he was looking for Xiaolan, this lunatic, who thought Xiaolan was killed and hid in the cellar."
Another man shook his head: "Didn't Xiao Lan be taken away by him?"
Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of "Zhi Zhi". Following the sound, they saw a fat black rat standing in the shadow of the corner of the wall, with a pair of red eyes, silently staring at the three of them.
As warriors with a strong premonition of danger, the moment the three men saw the mouse, their intuition began to warn.
They instinctively grabbed the weapons leaning against the table and shouted loudly to notify the guards outside.
But the next moment, the three of them fell limply on the table and passed out.
A few seconds later, a shadow emerged from under the table. Xu Qi'an looked around and listened carefully, making sure that the guards outside the courtyard hadn't noticed any movement inside. He turned around and came to the entrance of the cellar, and opened the heavy stone cover.
Among the three people in the room, the poison has a strong paralyzing effect and will not endanger life. At most, it will recover after a few days of weakness.
Following the opening of the stone cover, a dark hole appeared. Xu Qi'an took out the prepared candle and lit it. Holding the orange halo, he entered the cellar along the steps.
He walked through rows of corpses with brisk steps, feeling that this was the safest and most comfortable place in the world.
But the investigation was the most important thing. 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 death of the clan members, they are either cremated or donated to the family to make them into walking corpses.
This is to prevent the corpses of the clansmen from being dug up by outsiders.
Before the action, Xu Qi'an had already received information from Li Lingsu that Chai Jianyuan's body was turned into a walking corpse by Chai Xing'er and stored in the cellar.
Chai Xinger's argument is that the Chai family has undergone major changes and urgently needs strength to protect the safety of the family.
This reason won the unanimous approval of the Chai family.
But Xu Qi'an believed that there was a selfish intention of "tit for tat".
Of course, Chai Xing'er's thoughts are not important, Xu Qi'an sneaked in this time because of the autopsy.
The corpse can give a lot of information, such as the appearance of the wound, the condition of the injury, etc., which can tell whether Xu Qi'an is an acquaintance who committed the crime.
Soon, he came to the secret room deep in the cellar.
The door to the secret room was locked.
Xu Qi'an put his palm on the lock cylinder, exerted a sudden force, and with a "bang", the lock cylinder was directly blown away, shaking out the misty dust.
There are not many corpses in the secret room, there are four on the left and right, wearing headgear and all gray clothes of the same style.
From the slightly bulging chest, it can be seen that three of them are female corpses.
Xu Qi'an took off the hood of the corpse, 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 Xinger's ex-husband.
"Tsk, looking at each other, Chai Xing'er really has resentment towards Chai Jianyuan."
Without delay, Xu Qi'an kicked down Chai Jianyuan's body, stripped off his gray clothes, and inspected the body with a candle.
There was a sutured wound on Chai Jianyuan's chest, but the scattered corpse spots destroyed the traces of other wounds.
Xu Qi'an moved the candle, and the orange halo moved down from his chest, and stopped between his legs. He wrapped his hands in gray clothes, and picked out the bird's eggs.
"Exclude attacks on the crotch!"
This position is relatively weak for a warrior with copper skin and iron bones.
Moving further down, the halo of the candle illuminated Chai Jianyuan's feet.
In the dimness, Xu Qi'an's pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes froze.
Chai Jianyuan's left foot has six toes
