Nightwatcher Chapter 43: Suspect
Chai Xian didn't answer immediately, he spoke for a moment and said:
"My parents died since I was a child and I was helpless. I was begging for a living in Xiangzhou. Later my foster father adopted me. He treated me very well, even more important than my son. Therefore, all three brothers are Hate me, hate me."
"Only Xiaolan treats me sincerely, and has never looked down upon me because of my past..."
Speaking of this, Chai Xian was in a daze, as if returning to that hot summer many years ago, the dirty little beggar was led back to Chai Mansion. 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 story, Xu Qi'an was in a daze, thinking of Wei Yuan. . .
Empress Shangguan was like a bright light back then, shining into Wei Yuan's miserable youth career.
"On the same day, after dinner, the servants of the house told me that my adoptive father wanted to see me. I know he was because of Xiaolan. Before that, we had several disputes over Xiaolan's marriage.
"I love Xiaolan and want my adoptive father to marry her to me, but my adoptive father feels that I am a member of the Chai Mansion and destined to work for the Chai Mansion. Xiaolan married me, just icing on the cake. The marriage of Huangfu family is more in line with family interests."
Orange Cat An "Haha" smiled and said, "This is not wrong."
Chai Xian's eyes were slightly dim, and he continued:
"After I sent the servant away, I went to see my adoptive father. I noticed that there was a fight in my adoptive father's room, so I hurried over...
"I was a step late. When I arrived, the foster father had been killed in the room, and the murderer was missing. I was sad and angry. At this time, my aunt brought the people to the room.
"She and the tribe accused me of killing my foster father and wanting to clean up the door. I explained in every possible way that they were indifferent and no one believed me. In desperation, I had to summon the iron corpse and kill all the way out of Chai Mansion. .
"Although the foster father was not killed by me, that night, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of the children of the Chai family. After escaping from Xiangzhou City, I hid here to recuperate. That family received my favor. Always be willing to believe in me, not because of the rumors outside that I am a murderer."
Ju Maoan interrupted: "Did you kidnapped Xiaolan?"
Chai Xian shook his head: "After the incident, I was worried about Xiaolan. He sneaked back to Chai Mansion, but didn't find her. I asked the servant of Chai Mansion in private and found out that she had been there as early as the night when her foster father died. Missing, I suspect that she is more wicked."
The orange cat moved in his heart: "You sneaked into the cellar of the corpse tonight, are you looking for Xiaolan?"
Chai Xian nodded, with joy in his eyes: "I didn't find her."
Orange Cat An asked again: "Who is the wicked person who murdered and refined the corpse in Zhangzhou?"
"I don't know."
Chai Xian's face is blue, with hatred in his tone and expression:
"Someone pretends to be me and kills people everywhere, creating homicides. This is to drive me to a desperate situation, completely unable to turn over. At first, it was some people in the gang, and then some small gangs, and now even the civilians. Never let it go.
"This slaughter meeting is the result they want."
Orange Cat An tentatively asked: "Why don't you run away?"
Chai Xian asked in turn: "Why should I escape? The death of my adoptive father is unknown, Xiaolan's whereabouts are unknown, and the murderer who framed me has not been found. He is doing evil everywhere outside. Why should I run?"
Brother, your temperament is a bit extreme... Xu Qi'an suddenly thought that if the real murderer knows Chai Xian's temperament well behind the scenes, the purpose of doing all this is to force him to stay.
Conspiracy works well!
Chai Xian suddenly sighed: "During this period of time, I have been out constantly to pursue the real murderer behind the scenes, looking for places where homicides often occur, but what I caught was some fraudulent use of my name, house robbery, or practice Xiao Xiao of the corpse."
An orange cat said: "In your heart, there must be someone who is suspicious."
Chai Xian hesitated slightly and said: "I suspect that my aunt is setting me up."
The orange cat showed a humane expression on his face, he snorted, and said: "Tell me."
The response to the orange cat was a brief silence, and then Chai Xian sighed:
"Who else besides my aunt? The eldest brother died, and the second and third elder brothers were all mud that couldn't support the wall. If the foster father dies, only Xiaolan and me can threaten her. This incident , Three birds with one stone, right.
"Before tonight, although I had been suspicious of her, I had no certainty and evidence. But tonight, I sneaked into Chai Mansion and heard in her yard that she and a wild man were happy in bed.
"Auntie, she has changed. She definitely wouldn't be so slutty before. Desire makes her ugly."
Ah, this! You probably know that savage man, who was Li Lingsu on the shore of Daming Lake..........The orange cat quietly complained.
Except for the misappraisal of "wild man", Chai Xian's judgment is basically consistent with his guess.
There is a basic point of view in criminal investigation: whoever benefits in a criminal case is the suspect
In the case of Chai Mansion, Myolie Chai was the only one who profited, so she had the motive of committing the crime. Of course, this was not absolute, so she was a "suspect."
However, 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 Qi'an was puzzled by this before. Until now, seeing Chai Xian, such Xiao Lan's disappearance, and the murder of such a crime, all to keep Chai Xian?
There is another precondition here, that is, the murderer behind the scenes knows Chai Xian's temperament very well, and people who are not familiar with it cannot do this kind of operation.
"Thank you for telling me, I already understand what happened. If you are really wronged, I will try to find out and return you innocence."
Orange cat Ando.
But before that, you have to return the dragon spirit to me... Just as he thought of this, he heard Chai Xian whisper:
"Thank you, your Excellency told me so much. You are waiting for the body to arrive."
........ Orange Mao'an's cat face was stiff, almost "meow" and passed the test.
Chai Xian sighed: "Sorry, I don’t believe anyone now. If you really want to help me, you can. Let’s use this as a contact point. If you have any progress, or if you have something to contact me, you can give the letter to the second person. Ah."
In this way, no matter whether I am good or evil, I can't hurt this family for the time being... Orange Cat An said solemnly: "Okay!"
When the voice fell, Chai Xian stunned the orange cat.
...........
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Qi'an hurriedly rushed in, like a ghost in the dark, his figure flickered and appeared in the alley.
Except for a fainted orange cat, the alleys were empty and there was no one.
Xu Qi'an leaped on the roof of a yellow mud house and looked around, but did not sense the breath of dragon, which means that Chai Xian had already moved away from this area.
"You are pretty careful!"
He landed lightly, picked up the fainted orange cat, pinched his eyebrows, and walked away slowly.
Heart Gu controls animals in two modes, one is "influence", which allows the herd and insects to be used for their own use. One is to "possess one's body", in which a ray of primordial spirit is immersed, using animals as substitutes.
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 soul.
He can manipulate the orange cat to run so far, all relying on the resilience of the third stage soul.
In addition, the way the corpse Gu manipulates the walking corpse is the same as the "possession" of the heart gu. The difference is that Heart Gu needs its own soul as motivation. The corpse Gu is implanted in the corpse, which does not consume much.
He ran and jumped in the shadows, and finally returned to the inn.
Munanzhi and the little white fox have fallen asleep. The upper body of the little white fox is buried in the bed, with two hind legs sticking out of the bed. When Xu Qi'an shadow jumped back to the room, he happened to see his hind legs twitching a few times. .
Ten seconds later, he twitched a few more times.
After repeating this several times, Xu Qian guessed that it might be hypoxic, so he took his head out of the bed.
Sure enough.
..........
The next day!
In the early morning, wearing a light blue cotton robe, silver-patterned boots, hosta hair, and suave Tianzong Shengzi came to the inn.
He stepped into the lobby, scanned his eyes, and quickly locked the table by the window.
Mediocre-looking men and women sat at the table, and a little white fox drinking porridge was lying on the table. It looked up at Xu Qi'an from time to time, and then lowered his head to drink porridge.
"What do you always see me doing?" Xu Qi'an said blankly.
This little fox got up in the morning and looked at him with weird eyes. In the black button-like fox's eyes, there are three points of hostility, three points of fear, three points of wrongedness, and one point of pity... . Well, in short, it is this complicated feeling.
The little fox said quietly:
"Yesterday I dreamed that you would retaliate against me and strangle me to death. I am like you begging for mercy, and you will not let me go."
It has an aggrieved expression.
Isn’t it because your sleeping posture is too bad, and your head is buried in the bed, and you’re deprived of oxygen... Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched and asked:
"Why do you have such a dream? To be precise, why should I retaliate against you. It's not that you did a bad thing last night and you have a guilty conscience."
The little fox is too young, speechless, and whimpers twice.
Li Lingsu walked closer, sat down at the table, rubbed his waist, and smiled:
"What bad thing did this little thing do last night?"
Munanzhi said coldly: "What bad things can it do? Unlike some men, it's okay to be lustful, and it's okay if the ladyboys are not jealous. Sometimes, it doesn't matter if you live or die."
Li Lingsu and Xu Qian's faces suddenly stiffened.
"What Madam said..." Li Lingsu laughed dryly and said: "There are also good demons. You can't divide good and evil by race. Besides, what does life and death mean?"
Tuk tuk!
This guy has a guilty conscience, he still has a 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 have some trouble."
After a pause, I seemed to be ashamed to say it, and his voice became lower and lower: "I have sentimental Gu again. You are a master of Gu art, can you get rid of love Gu for me?"
Don’t provoke sick women.........Xu Qi'an said: "Chai Xing'er's Gu?"
Li Lingsu nodded with a sad expression on his face.
At this moment, Xiaoer from the shop approached and asked, "Guest, what do you want to eat?"
Li Lingsu glanced at the food of Mu Nanzhi and Xu Qian, thought about it, and said:
"All the dishes in the store that nourishes kidney and impotence are brought up."
...... The shop Xiaoer gave him a weird look, "Okay, okay..."
His gaze immediately fell on the little white fox, and praised as if he were pleased:
"It's really energetic, unlike the cats that our shopkeeper keeps, it doesn't have any energy, it seems to be sick."
No, it's just hollowed out...Xu Qi'an said in heart.
After the shop Xiaoer finished speaking, he quit.
Munanzhi gloated:
"I think you have committed a peach blossom attack. You were first put under house arrest by the Eastern sisters for half a year, drained of your body, and then by Chai Xinger's affection. Tsk, you will die in the hands of a woman one day."
Hey, Mrs. Xu rarely mocks me like this. Is it because I'm jealous... Ah, my **** charm, it's impossible for us... Li Lingsu He smiled politely and kept a distance from the plain-looking Mrs. Xu.
Mun Nanzhi didn't know Shengzi's inner drama, otherwise he would slobber on his face.
"But since you have followed him, you can ask him how to deal with conflicts between women. This guy is just like you, and those women are far better than you regardless of their status, status, or appearance." Mu Nanzhi sneered.
A peach blossom debt? Appearance, status, status, far better than my confidante? Shengzi glanced at Xu Qian and didn't believe it.
Looking at Mrs. Xu's appearance, he knows what kind of taste Xu Qian is.
If this guy sees Mu Nanzhi’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, Shen Channel:
"Be careful with this woman Chai Xian'er, I met Chai Xian last night."
"What?!"
The Son's voice suddenly rose up.
Munanzhi also looked over.
Xu Qi'an briefly talked about what happened last night. Of course, the **** scene between Shengzi and Chai Xinger was hidden. It was not to save face for the scumbag, but it would appear that "Xu Qian" had no style. ~IndoMTL.com~ Li Lingsu said solemnly while rubbing his waist:
"I still don't believe Myolie would do such a thing, but as the predecessors said, she is indeed the most suspicious. But the suspicion is only a suspicion, and no evidence can be found to prove that she is the real murderer behind the scenes.
"Everything Chai Xian said is not his own words."
Xu Qi'an gave a "um", chewing on the soft steamed buns, and said:
"So now the key person is Chai Lan. Whether it is life or death, you have to find her. In addition, you go to Chai Mansion and ask what happened on the night of the incident. Chai Myolie’s remarks, Chai Xian’s remarks, As well as the words of the children of the Chai Mansion, we will compare the three parties to see if we can find clues.
"Tomorrow is the Demon Slaying Conference, so let's watch the changes at that time."
The 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 dragon energy.
Otherwise, once Jingxin and Jingyuan discover that Chai Xian is the host of the Dragon Qi, he will definitely be transferred to Buddhism.
With his current cultivation level and the power of the Buddha Pagoda, to deal with this group of monks, he can only say five to five.
The opponent can't help him, and he can't kill the opponent.
The key point is that Jingxin and Jingyuan may have a way to communicate with the King Kong. After too long, he may face a third-rank or even an Arhat.
"By the way, the Demon Slaying Conference will be held in Xianghe outside the city tomorrow." Li Lingsu said.
............
ps: I know I owe you a chapter and I haven't forgotten it, but I really can't add it recently. It is difficult to write a case quickly. After waiting for this plot, I will definitely pay it back. Don't scold, don't scold!
