Chai Xian did not answer immediately. After a moment of thinking, he said, ‘
“My parents died when I was young. I had no one to rely on and begged in Xiang Zhou for a living. Later on, foster father adopted me. He treated me extremely well, even more so than his own son. Thus, my three brothers all hate me, they loathe me. ‘
only Xiao LAN treated me sincerely and never looked down on me because of my past …
At this point, Chai Xian was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to many years ago, in the hot summer, when the dirty and smelly little beggar was brought back to the chai Manor. The girl hiding behind the screen poked her head out and looked at him quietly. Their eyes met, and he lowered his head in inferiority.
The young girl smiled brightly.
Xu Qi ‘an was dazed for a moment as he listened to Chai Xian’s story. He thought of Wei Yuan.
Back then, Empress Shangguan was like a bright ray of light that shone into Wei Yuan’s bitter youth.
“That day, after dinner, a servant in the residence said that foster father wanted to see me. I know it’s because of Xiao LAN. Before this, we had several disputes because of Xiao Lan’s marriage.
“I loved Xiao LAN and wanted my foster father to marry her to me. However, my foster father felt that I was a member of the chai Manor and was destined to serve the chai Manor. Xiao Lan’s marriage to me will only add flowers to a brocade, and a marriage alliance with the Huangfu clan is more in line with the clan’s interests.”
“That’s not wrong,” the orange cat an chuckled.
Chai Xian’s eyes dimmed as he continued,
after I sent the servants away, I went to see my foster father. Halfway through. I noticed the sounds of fighting in my foster father’s room, so I hurried over …
“I was one step too late. When I arrived, my foster father had already been killed in the room, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. I was mournful and angry. At this time, my aunt arrived with the clansmen.
“She and her clansmen didn’t say anything and accused me of killing my foster father. They also wanted to clean up the house. I tried to explain, but they were indifferent. Helplessly, I could only summon the iron corpse and kill my way out of Chai Manor.
“Although I didn’t kill my foster father, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of many Chai family disciples that night. After escaping from Xiang Zhou city, I hid here to recuperate. That family received my grace and was willing to believe me all along. They didn’t believe that I was the murderer because of the rumors outside.”
“Did you kidnap Xiao LAN?” an interrupted.
Chai Xian shook his head. after the incident, I was worried about Xiao LAN. I sneaked back to the chai residence but didn’t find her. After interrogating the servants in the chai residence, I found out that she had disappeared on the night of my foster father’s death. I suspect that she’s in grave danger.”
The orange cat an’s heart moved, “you sneaked into the basement to find Xiao LAN?”
Chai Xian nodded his head, his eyes filled with joy.”l didn’t find her.”
“In Zhangzhou, who is the murderer who committed murder and refined corpses?” an asked again.
“I don’t know.”
Chai Xian’s face was livid, and his tone and expression were filled with hatred.
“Someone pretended to be me and went around killing people, creating murder cases. This is to force me into a desperate situation, and I can’t turn things around. At first, they killed some Jianghu people, then some small gangs, and now they didn’t even let commoners go. “This demon-slaying meet is the result they want.”
‘Why don’t you run?” an asked.
why should I escape? ” Chai Xian asked. my foster father died without knowing why, Xiao Lan’s whereabouts are unknown, and the murderer who framed me hasn’t been found. He’s doing evil everywhere. Why should I escape? ”
Brother, you’re. little extreme … Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought that if the murderer knew Chai Xian’s personality like the back of his hand, then the purpose of all this was to force him to stay.
Good use of schemes and open schemes!
Chai Xian suddenly sighed. all this time, I’ve been constantly out looking for the real murderer behind the scenes. I’ve been looking for places where murder cases often occur. However, I’ve only caught some Rascals who used my name to Rob houses or refine corpses.
“You must have a suspect in mind,” an said.
“I suspect it’s my aunt who’s trying to frame me,” Chai Xian said after some hesitation.
The orange cat’s face showed a human-like expression, and he tsked, “”Tell me.”
The orange cat was met with a short silence. Chai Xian sighed and said,
“Who else could it be besides my aunt? His eldest brother had died, and his second and third brothers were mud that couldn’t be helped. If foster father is dead, the only ones who can threaten her are Xiao LAN and me. This incident was killing three birds with one stone, wasn’t it?
“Before tonight, although I suspected her, I didn’t have any confidence or evidence. But tonight, I sneaked into the chai residence and personally heard her making out with a wild man in bed in her courtyard.
aunt has changed. In the past, she would not have been so lewd. Desire has made her ugly.
Ah, this! You probably know that wild man. He’s Li lingsu from Daming Lake back then … The orange cat an complained in his heart.
Other than the fact that he was a ‘wild man’, Chai Xian’s judgment was basically the same as his.
There was a basic point of view in criminal investigation-in a criminal case, whoever benefited from it was the suspect.
In the case of the chai Manor, Chai Xing ‘er was the only one who had benefited from it, so she had the motive. Of course, this wasn’t absolute, so she was the
“suspect.”
However, according to the follow-up development of the case, ‘Chai Xian’ had committed multiple murders in Xiang Zhou and even other places in Zhangzhou. This was not the usual behavior of a criminal.
Xu Qi ‘an had been confused about this before. Now that he had seen Chai Xian, he wondered if Xiao Lan’s disappearance and the framing of the murder case were all to keep Chai Xian..
