Tsk, the ability of the Imperial beast Gu is really useful … Li lingsu thought enviously.
Heart Gu was also known as ‘beast Gu’ and ‘beast taming Gut , because heart Gu Masters often used it to control poisonous insects and beasts.
The two of them entered the village side by side. When they were close to their destination, Xu Qi ‘an found that the small courtyard was full of villagers, and mournful cries came from the house.
The villagers were either standing in the courtyard or outside, pointing and whispering to each other.
Xu Qi ‘an vaguely heard a few words, ”
“Did Wang Laosi’s family offend someone?” who knows? he didn’t even let the child go. The murderer is really heartless.
Al, could it be that Chai Xian? it must be him. I heard that he’s a madman. He even killed his adoptive father.
“Aiya, then aren’t we in danger?”
He and Li lingsu squeezed past the villagers and entered the courtyard.
A simple wooden board was set up in the house, and a family of three lay on it, covered with a dirty white cloth. An old man with white hair fell down beside the wooden board, wailing.
A young couple was busy in the house. They were wearing ordinary cloth clothes, their hands were rough, and their faces were dark. One look and you could tell that they were used to doing rough work.
“Who are you guys?”
Seeing Xu Qi ‘an and Li lingsu come in, the young couple became a little vigilant, especially li lingsu, who was wearing a robe and a hood.
“Someone from the government.”
Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice,”who allowed you to move the body without permission?” What if we destroy the clues left behind by the murderer?”
He came up to question the young man, and the young man was at a loss, thinking that he had made a big mistake.
Li lingsu, on the other hand, took the opportunity to enter the inner room, which was also the crime scene, and closed the door.
Without giving the young man a chance to react, Xu Qi ‘an asked with a straight face, “”What’s your relationship with this family?”
The young man turned around to look at the male victim, his dull face showing sadness.
he’s my brother, and my father is his uncle. At noon, the neighbor saw a stranger come in and then leave quickly. He came to see what was going on, but no one answered. When he came in, he found that everyone had been killed
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
“Call the neighbors over,” Xu Qi ‘an said without changing his expression.
The young man walked out of the threshold, glanced at the crowd outside the courtyard, and said in a dialect, ‘
“The officer has something to ask, come over for a moment.”
He pointed at a few of the neighbors.
Soon, two old mothers came in, both neighbors.
The old maids were a little afraid, but they couldn’t control their meddlesome nature. They kept looking at the three bodies on the wooden board.
“What strange people have been here?”
Xu Qi ‘an asked, and the answer she got was, ” a strange man came by at noon.
“Did anyone strange come this morning?
The two old mothers looked at each other and shook their heads.
One said he didn’t notice, and the other said he didn’t see.
Although there weren’t many people in the small village, the advantage was that if a stranger entered the village, he would be very conspicuous, and the possibility of. murder at night was higher … Just as he was deep in thought, li lingsu came out of the house and shook her head at him. “His soul has been scattered.” Li lingsu transmitted.
Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened, and he nodded slowly.
The two of them didn’t stay any longer and left the village in a hurry.
On the way back, li lingsu whispered, “”What’s happening?”
I followed Chai Xian the other day and found this place. Chai Xian is hiding in this house. It’s one of the stops.
Xu Qi ‘an sat on the back of the pony and looked into the distance.
“That day, we agreed to use this place as our point of contact to exchange information. I was planning to encourage him to go to the demon slaying meet and confront Chai Xing ‘er, so that we could use this opportunity to lock onto his location. En, that day, I used the Voodoo to control a cat to follow him.
When my main body arrived, he had already left.”
He had overlooked the reason why he was looking for Chai Xian’s main body.
Although li lingsu had her doubts, she did not ask for details.”But Chai Xian didn’t appear at the demon-slaying meet today.”
“Yes, I am!”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded. so, I came here to confirm. But I found out that they were killed.
“Hiss …” Li lingsu gasped,
“The purpose of silencing him was to prevent Chai Xian from participating in the demon slaying meet? There was a problem here, and that was that the person who killed him knew that Chai Xian would come tonight. Otherwise, Chai Xian wouldn’t have received your note and he probably wouldn’t have appeared, so there’s no need to kill him.”
This sentence woke Xu Qi ‘an up. He said in a deep voice, “”Perhaps it’s not to prevent Chai Xian from getting the note, but to scare him off.”
“What do you mean?” Li lingsu asked.
“I don’t know much about Chai Xian, but I know that his character is a little extreme. He stayed in Xiang Zhou to prove his innocence and find out the real murderer behind the scenes. Even without my note, he would have probably used the opportunity of the demon-slaying meet to seek justice.”
Xu Qi ‘an analyzed,
“The note was an extra layer of insurance, but it was not the most important. I can’t be sure that Chai Xian would come last night, but how can the mastermind be sure?”
The premise of silencing him was that Chai Xian had to get the note and disrupt the demon slaying meet the next day.
However, Xu Qi ‘an was not sure if Chai Xian had come to the village last night. If he had not come, he would not have seen the note, and his motive for killing would not have existed.
However, the family of three was still killed, which meant that the person behind the scenes knew that Chai Xian would come last night.
Li lingsu understood.
“The note is not the point. The point is that the murderer knew that Chai Xian would be here last night. He had killed the family of three in advance and frightened Chai Xian. This made him feel that the mysterious person he had met that day, senior, was a person with evil intentions..
