Nightwatcher Chapter 54: What happened?

I was cut off!

Xu Qi'an's eyes condensed, and his spirit was instantly tense. This brief sentence aroused a strong sense of crisis and urgency.

Why can Jingxin and Jingyuan catch Chai Xian so quickly? This is unreasonable.

After the small village’s killing of the door, Chai Xian was more cautious. Even if I had the Dragon Qi radar, I couldn’t find Chai Xian’s hiding place.

Not to mention Pure Heart and Pure Fate, they can't see through the Dragon Qi host in the vast crowd.

"It must be something I have overlooked, or Jingxin and Jingyuan know some secrets that I don't know..."

Finally, Xu Qi'an said calmly: "I know."

Li Lingsu immediately said: "I'll go and stare at Xing'er first, what are your plans for Senior?"

"Protect yourself."

........ Li Lingsu's mouth twitched, nodded, penetrated the cellar door, and disappeared.

As soon as the Son of God left, Xu Qi'an immediately bared his teeth and felt that it was difficult.

"Jingxin and Jingyuan are the pinnacles of the four ranks. The combination of Zen masters and monks can basically suppress any system in the same realm. I am afraid that only the fourth ranks of Confucianism can counter the Buddhism precepts by lip service.

"The old monk Taling did not allow me to use the pagoda to suppress and kill the Buddhist disciples. I can use it to protect myself. But now I am going to be a Buddhist monk, and the Buddha pagoda cannot count on it...

"Chai Xian is one of the nine dragon qi hosts and must not fall into the hands of Buddhism. Fortunately, the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. They don't know my existence..."

Xu Qi'an made a decisive decision, cut off half of the snakes, insects, rats and ants, and manipulated the remaining half to continue exploring the Chai Mansion ancestral hall.

The vacant soul is used to manipulate the orange cat.

Outside the cellar, the sleepy orange cat opened its amber eyes, and its pupils were faintly erect. It erected its arrogant little tail, like a sharp arrow.

...........

In the dark night, Myolie Chai did not bring any attendants and did not inform the Chai family.

Walking swiftly in the corridor alone, the cold wind roared, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the eaves swayed, and the red halo illuminated her delicate face, reflected in her pupils, as bright as a gem.

After walking for a while, the inner hall is looking out, and bright candles are showing through the doors and windows.

Outside the inner hall, a dozen or so monks from the Western Regions were standing, seeming to have designated the surrounding area as a restricted area.

Chai Xing'er moved closer, pushed open the door of the inner hall, and saw Jingxin and Senior Brother Jingyuan sitting in chairs, standing alone in the hall, bound by dark golden ropes.

"Chai Xian!"

Chai Xing'er's wonderful eyes widened, her plain white face distorted with anger, she walked two steps quickly, without saying anything, patted Chai Xian with a palm.

"No killing!"

Jingxin exercised the precepts at the right time to dispel Chai Xing'er's idea of ​​attack.

"Xinger Chai, the donor, don't be impatient."

Jingxin got up, folded his hands together, his tone of voice was not too fast, said:

"I have used Buddhism precepts to question Chai Xian. He is not the real murderer who killed Chai Jianyuan, nor is he the one who has caused trouble in Xiangzhou during this time. The real murderer is someone else behind the scenes." /

Chai Xing'er's eyes wandered, seeing all three of them staring at her.

"What's the meaning of Master Jingxin?" Chai Xing'er and Liu Mei frowned: "Is it possible that you suspect that I wronged him, that the Chai Mansion and the upper and lower people wronged him, and the heroes of Xiangzhou who wronged him?"

The monk Jingyuan then got up, stepped forward with a compelling aura, and said lightly: "I am waiting to return here because of this. The Buddha does not punish the innocent, nor will he spare any sinners. People."

"In the eyes of the two masters, Myolie is the guilty person."

At this time, the door of the inner hall was pushed open, and the handsome and innocent Li Lingsu crossed the threshold in a black robe.

Li Lingsu....... Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, knowing his true identity, but deliberately ignored his existence.

There is no one in the eye. If this son is in his heyday, it will be easy to beat you two... Li Lingsu felt that he was ignored, and he muttered in his heart.

He glanced at Chai Xian not far away and smiled: "Brother Chai Xian, long time no see."

When he and Chai Xian'er got together, they had a relationship with Chai Xian.

Compared with the beginning, Chai Xian seems to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes.

In addition, Li Lingsu was keenly aware of the location of Jingyuan Station, which happened to be able to "support" Chai Xian as quickly as possible.

And Jingxin always puts his hands together, and is always ready to exercise precepts.

The defense is very tight. Even with Xu Qian's secret method, it is difficult to rob Chai Xian in front of the two of them... Li Lingsu thought without changing his face.

"It's you!"

Chai Xian obviously recognized Li Lingsu, and suddenly said: "A few days ago I thought my aunt was debauched and depraved, it turned out to be you."

Chai Xing'er glared at Chai Xian viciously, and could only compromise in front of the two monks, took a deep breath, and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Jingxin spoke up: "It's very simple. The poor monk questions you with precepts. If you can stand the test, you are innocent. If you can't..."

He didn't go further, but the meaning is self-evident.

Now that the Dragon Qi host has been captured, there is no need to worry about Chai Family and Chai Xing'er. With their cultivation base, let alone Xiangzhou, even Zhangzhou can push horizontally.

Monk Jingyuan stared at Chai Xing'er, with a strong aura.

While everyone was talking, an orange cat stood under the window, leaning against the outer wall, pricked up its ears, and made an intently listening gesture.

"After catching Chai Xian, Buddhism doesn't need to worry about anything. This arrogance is immediately revealed..." The orange cat quivered its ears and listened to distinguish its position.

I found that Jingxin and Jingyuan were very close to Chai Xian.

"Even if the main body comes over and robs people with shadows, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the monk Jingyuan before he shows up... Hiss, it doesn't seem like the time to steal people tonight." /

The cat's face showed a humane sadness.

In the hall, Myolie Chai nodded slightly, "Okay, that's it for the master."

Hearing this, everyone present, as well as Xu Qi'an outside, held their breath almost at the same time, waiting for the answer.

Jingxin puts his hands together: "Thank you for your cooperation."

He immediately exercised the commandment, and said solemnly: "Did you kill Chai Jianyuan?"

The voice fell, and the invisible but majestic force was exerted on Chai Xing'er, making her feel that people should be born sincere, and those who lie are not worthy of being a person.

In this state, she could not tell any lies, and replied:

"I didn't kill it."

She didn't kill Chai Jianyuan...This, this is different from what I thought. Isn't it because she poisoned him, then quickly killed Chai Jianyuan, then lured Chai Xian over and blamed Chai Xian?

Jing Xin has already questioned Chai Xian with the precepts. He doesn't need to lie about this matter, but if Chai Xing'er didn't kill him or Chai Xian killed him, who would it be?

Xu Qian's thoughts floated under the window, and suddenly realized that this case was more complicated than he thought.

Jing Xin and Jing Yuan looked at each other, both frowned.

Xing'er wasn't killed. I knew Xing'er wouldn't do such a thing. Then who killed Chai Jianyuan? Li Lingsu frowned while overjoyed, only feeling that the case had become more complicated.

Jingxin asked in a deep voice: "Is it you who murdered and refine corpses all over Xiangzhou?"

Myolie Chai shook her head: "It's not me, it's Chai Xian."

Under the spell of "commandment", she can only tell the truth, not lie.

"Who else is it not you?"

Chai Xian was furious, feeling a little out of control: "You still have accomplices, and you still have accomplices."

Jingxin's eyes lit up, and while the precepts and magic were still there, he asked: "Who is your accomplice, did your accomplice do it?"

Chai Myolie said frankly: "I have no accomplices, I did not kill my eldest brother, and I did not do the murder outside."

I didn't lie, this........Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, both of them were surprised and at a loss in the eyes of each other.

At this point, it can be basically concluded that Chai Xing'er is innocent. He has neither murdered nor accomplices, and cannot be the person behind the scenes.

But the case also fell into a new deadlock.

Chai Xian murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

He can't seem to accept this ending.

Xu Qi'an under the window thought about it. It wasn't Chai Xing'er or Chai Xian. Then Chai Lan had a great possibility... But the problem was that the girl didn't have it from beginning to end. There were too few clues to make a judgment.

Xu Qi'an felt like he was back in the capital when he faced various cases and made his head bald with painstaking effort.

Li Lingsu suddenly said, "Where is Chai Lan? Did you forget Chai Lan."

Hearing what Li Lingsu said, Chai Xian broke free from the confusion of his muttering thoughts and stared at each other glaringly:

"Xiaolan has disappeared a long time ago. You can blame it anyway."

Chai Myolie said:

"I don't know why the precepts are useless to Chai Xian, but the eldest brother was indeed the one who killed him, and he did the murder in Xiangzhou. This is what everyone in the Chai Mansion saw with their own eyes, and many outsiders have witnessed his assault. Master. Why don't you believe it."

Jingxindao:

"Chai Xian can't resist the commandments of poor monks. He really didn't lie. In addition, there are many doubts about your statement, the previous benefactor of Chai Xing'er. Chai Xian is not a person with the most evil nature. How can he do it for Chai Lan? The marriage of the donor kills the foster father whose grace is as heavy as a mountain?

"Isn't it safer to run away compared to this."

Smart, this monk and Xu Qian thought of going somewhere...Li Lingsu nodded slightly.

Chai Xing'er sighed and said:

"I concealed something...Actually, Chai Xian, he, he is the illegitimate son of my elder brother."

These words sounded like thunder, sounding in everyone's ears, Jingxin and Jingyuan moved slightly, very shocked.

Xu Qian is right. Chai Xian is really Chai Jianyuan’s illegitimate son... Myolie really knew about it... Li Lingsu already knew the secret, so Not surprised.

As for Chai Xian, his pupils shrank violently as if encountering a strong light, and his face was stiff like a stone sculpture. From his sluggish gaze and dull expression, it can be seen that his mind is chaotic and unable to think.

Chai Myolie continued:

"He has an extreme personality since he was a child, and his elder brother was afraid that he could not accept this fact, so he kept hiding it and raised him as a son. As he grew older, he gradually developed affection for his sister.

"My eldest brother has no choice but to marry Huangfu's family and marry Xiaolan as soon as possible.

"Unexpectedly, Chai Xian was so resentful that he killed his eldest brother, and his personality is so extreme..."

"You bullshit!"

A violent drink interrupted her, and Chai Xian's forehead blue veins burst into anger, obviously furious:

"Chai Xing'er, you have to be slanderous. My parents have died since I was a child. My foster father saw me as pitiful and qualified, so he adopted me. Just slander me and slander him. You are vicious. Woman."

Monk Jingyuan frowned and asked Chai Xinger: "What evidence do you have?"

Chai Xing'er looked sideways at the door and said: "The evidence is here."

Immediately afterwards, he listened to the monk guarding outside the hall yelling: "Who?"

Jing Yuan looked towards the door and said loudly: "What happened?"

The monk outside the door responded: "Brother Jingyuan, there is a walking dead approaching."

Jing Yuan glanced at Chai Xing'er and said, "Let "he" come in."

The door of the inner hall was pushed open, and a man in a gray shirt walked in, his eyes were dead and his skin was pale and bloodless, like a walking dead.

It was Chai Jianyuan who had been dead for two decades.

"Foster father........"

Chai Xian's mouth trembled.

Chai Xing'er manipulated the walking corpse into the seat and asked him to take off his shoes and expose his left foot.

Everyone took a closer look and found that Chai Jianyuan has six toes, but what does this mean?

Chai Xing'er said: "Chai Xian also has six toes."

Li Lingsu, Jingxinjingyuan, looked at Chai Xian together, but saw that his eyes were dull, staring at Chai Jianyuan's left foot in a daze, the blood on his face faded a little.

The handsome Zen master asked: "Donor Chai Xian, do you have six toes?"

Chai Xian's lips moved, and his jaw spasm, as if he lost his language function.

Jing Xin and Jing Yuan understood, the latter asked Chai Myolie: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chai Xing'er shook her head sadly: "The eldest brother died at the hands of the righteous son. The Chai family still has a face and died at the hands of an illegitimate child. How can the Chai family gain a foothold in Zhangzhou after such scandals? The two masters are outsiders after all. How can I tell you the truth. If things have not reached this point, I will definitely not make them public."

No, just because of your extreme personality, you won't tell him? The orange cat under the window frowned.

Jing Yuan nodded, accepting Chai Xing'er's explanation, wondering:

"But Chai Xian passed the test of the precepts, he was not the murderer..."

"No!" Jing Xin shook his head and said: "It's him."

After all, in the perplexity of the crowd, the fourth-tier Zen master stared at Chai Xian and said:

"There is one thing I haven't asked the donor. You said you went to Sanshui Town to track down the person behind the scene. Then, how does the donor know that the person behind the scene will attack Sanshui Town?"

Hearing that, Chai Xian seemed to be hit by someone on the head, his pupils instantly dilated and he lowered his head.

"How do I know, how do I know..."

He stood there blankly, lowered his head, and kept mumbling to himself.

This process lasted for about ten seconds. Suddenly, a low laughter sounded, gradually became louder, and finally turned into a wild laugh.

Chai Xian raised his head, Qingjun's face was distorted, his eyes were full of crazy malice, and his laughter was loud and hoarse:

"How did I know? Because I was the one who killed!"

In an instant, he seemed to be another person.

"Yes, I killed Chai Jianyuan. I also did the murder in Xiangzhou. I did everything."

He laughed nervously:

"I had no father since I was born. My mother was depressed. In order to support me, she worked hard and died. I became a beggar when I was a child. I was bullied and suffered so much. He died.

"Do you know how I came here in those years? I don't even live as a dog. But it doesn't matter, as long as Xiaolan is with me, I can abandon the past. But he even takes Xiaolan away from me. Go.

"Don’t such a person deserve to die? Shouldn’t you die!"

At this time, Chai Xian, and the image of that gentle Qingjun, are different.

Dissociation? Li Lingsu suddenly realized: "So that's it, he has psychic disorder."

Schizophrenia? ! Xu Qi'an under the window also suddenly realized.

He finally understands why this case is so chaotic, and contradictions arise at every stage, because there are two Chai Xians.

Of course, the normal Chai Xian did not have the motive to kill Chai Jianyuan, but another Chai Xian who knew his life experience had this motive. He was an extremely paranoid person.

The normal Chai Xian thought he was innocent, and someone behind the scenes framed him, so he insisted on not leaving Xiangzhou in an attempt to find out the truth.

But in fact, the person behind the scenes is himself, another personality.

This created inconsistencies in the case.

He also did the murder case in Xiaoshan Village... Xu Qi'an finally understood that Chai Xing'er had proof of his alibi, and it was unnecessary.

At the beginning, he felt strange, if it was Chai Xing'er who killed the family of three, why not take the opportunity to ambush Chai Xian? There is no point in killing a few innocent villagers.

But for another personality, Chai Xian must be prevented from participating in the Demon Slaying Conference, because the murderer is himself, he does all the murders, and he is not innocent at all.

I went to the Demon Slayer Conference, and there was a dead end, just like now.

"Hey, there is progress in the ancestral hall..." Orange Cat An closed his eyes.

.............

In the cellar on the other side, Xu Qi'an received feedback from a mouse. The mouse "telled" him that there is a secret room under the ancestral hall~IndoMTL.com~ It sneaked into the secret room through a hole.

All the snakes, insects, rats and ants inside and outside the ancestral hall lost control at the same time.

The mouse starts to catch the insects around it, and the snake that wakes up from hibernation follows the instinct of eating and catches the mouse.

"The secret rooms under the ancestral hall are really rewarding..." Xu Qi'an abandoned them and focused on controlling the orange cat and the mouse that found the secret room.

This relieved his load at once, and his headache disappeared.

In the secret room where the air is a little dull, there are a few oil lamps in the hollow of the wall.

In the depths of the secret room, a shaggy woman was trapped by chains on her limbs, sitting on a pile of rotten straw.

Her mouth was plugged by a leather muzzle, her head was limply pulled aside, her chest was slightly undulating, her breathing was fairly steady, and she seemed to be asleep.

Myolie Chai came to the South Yard the night before. Did you meet this woman?

It was Myolie Chai who kept her here?

The mouse walked through the dim halo of the oil lamp, stopped in front of the woman, and vomited:

"Wake up!"

The woman moved her head and slowly awakened. Seeing the mouse in front of her, she was visibly stunned and did not respond for a long time.

The mouse said: "Who are you?"

"Woohoooo..."

Under the woman's messy hair, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if a desperate person saw hope.

She struggled violently, extremely agitated, and the chains of struggling creaked.

"Who are you?"

The mouse asked again. It looked down at its small front paws and said, "You can write."

The woman’s fingers tremblingly wrote two words on the wall:

"Chai Lan!"
