Nightwatcher Chapter 548

Published at 21st of April 2023 06:41:23 AM

The sunlight came in through the lattice windows and the dust floated.

In the quiet environment, Xu Qi'an stood silently in the room. For a long time, the blue veins on his forehead were taken back. He began to check the scene without any expression.

Tables and chairs and other furnishings were placed completely without any signs of fighting. The man's carotid artery was cut by sharp tools and his left temple collapsed.

In a flash.

The mother and daughter died of being punctured by a sharp weapon at the same time. The mother was punctured in the heart, but the little girl was punctured in the right chest. After Xu Qian touched her head, he found that the real cause of death was the smashing of the tianlinggai.

He then flipped over the bodies of the three bodies, lifted the cotton padded clothes on their backs, and checked the degree of condensation of the spots...

"The time of death is no more than four hours. It was killed in the morning... No, no, the temperature last night was almost 2 degrees. If it was killed in the night, the actual time of death would be earlier."

Low temperature has a "fresh-keeping" effect, which will affect the judgment of death time.

"Although there are no signs of fighting in the house, it doesn't mean that it's an acquaintance who committed the crime, because it's too simple to deal with ordinary people. You can do instant killing."

But for no reason, who will kill this innocent family?

Xu Qi'an sits at the table, his fingertips gently clasping the table, and his brain's pheromone seems to be boiling in his voice....

"besides Chai Xian and me, who else knows here? If there's no one, it's either him or me. If anyone knows about this place, why don't they come early or late and kill people after I send a message?

"The purpose is not Chai Xian, but to prevent Chai Xian from going to the demon slaughtering Conference..... What's the significance? It's better to ambush people here and kill Chai Xian directly.

"So it's Chai Xian who killed people? It's not right. The motive is not reasonable. "

Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly round stare, thinking of a possibility.

On the day when I was tracking Chai Xian, I was also tracked by someone..

"Chai Xian can't find my tracking, because the walking corpse doesn't have the ability of anti tracking. But I didn't have the same ability. I was just a cat, not an noumenon. If someone quietly follows us that night... "

Xu Qi'an suddenly gets up, leaves the house, closes the door, rides on the little mare and flies away.

......

Chaifu.

Li lingsu held the hot tea cup in both hands and sipped the sweet liquid.

White delicate cup, full of medlar, so that a small number of tea appears particularly sweet.

Alas, Li lingsu sighed every day.

Before being extraordinary, daomen's growth on the body was limited, far less abnormal than Wufu's physique.

In the past six months, the Oriental sisters deliberately drained him of his energy, leading him to be in deficit all the time.

Originally, I thought that I could keep my energy and energy well without Oriental sisters. But for various reasons, I had to accompany other confidants.

From Wen renqianrou to Chai Xinger, they are all dry firewood.

"Maybe I should try to practice Wufu system. Although Wufu can't break his body before practicing Qi, it's aimed at people who have no foundation. You can't practice Qi if you break your body early. If I resume my cultivation, it will not be difficult for me to practice Qi with the four grades of Taoism.

"Well, I still have to start from refining. Otherwise, without the process of exercising my body, I can't step into five grades of strength. Wait a minute, I didn't take the martial arts road for the sake of fighting power, just to practice my Qi level... "

when I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a figure coming out of the shadow of the tea table.

It was the plain looking Xu Qian.

"Master?"

Li lingsu was surprised. He didn't expect Xu Qian to come by himself. He was not afraid to be discovered by Buddhist monks?

He just wanted to ask, suddenly realized that Xu Qian's state was not right.

For a long time, people are sensitive to things and have the ability to get along with them.

It belongs to the pre ability of "the unity of man and nature".

Although Li lingsu didn't know Xu Qian well, he spent a lot of time together.

In the past, Xu Qian was a pool of immeasurable water. Now Xu Qian is a turbulent sea.

Xu Qi'an nodded and said, "where was Chai xing'er last night?"

On my bed... Li lingsu said: "always with me."

Xu Qian reminded: "are you sure?"

It's also possible to go out and do some dirty things while you're asleep.

Li lingsu frowned: "last night we didn't finish until a quarter past midnight. In addition, my seal has broken through a small part, and I don't sleep too deeply. If the person beside my pillow leaves, I can't miss it. "

Speaking of this, Li lingsu kneaded the aching waist subconsciously.

Two minutes later, are you really kidney deficient? Xu Qi'an nodded slowly and said nothing nonsense: "two quarters of an hour later, we will meet outside the north city."He disappeared into the room as a shadow.

"Mysterious......"

Li lingsu immediately left the room, asked for a horse from the Chaifu steward, and went straight to the north gate along the main road.

It took only a quarter of an hour for them to meet outside the north gate. Li lingsu noticed that Xu Qian had changed again.

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, did not explain, a little mare's stomach, riding away.

"Drive!"

Li lingsu waved the whip and immediately followed.

Near the village, Xu Qi'an slowed down his horse's speed, lost a robe and hood to him, and said:

"put it on, there's a homicide in the village. Go to summon the spirit and ask the spirit to find out who the murderer is."

When Li lingsu's cross dressing is over, Xu Qi'an turns over and dismounts. With a loud finger, the little mare and Li lingsu's horse obediently enter the roadside woods and hide.

Tut, the ability to resist animal insects is very useful... Li lingsu thought enviously.

Xin Gu is also known as "beast Gu" and "Royal beast Gu", because Xin Gu masters often use it to control poisonous insects and beasts.

As they enter the village side by side, Xu Qi'an finds that there are many villagers standing outside the courtyard when they are near the destination. The cry of sadness comes from the house.

The villagers either stand in the courtyard or outside, pointing and whispering.

Xu Qi'an vaguely heard a few words:

"has the fourth Wang family provoked anyone?"

"Who knows, even the children are not let go, the murderer is really heartless."

"Well, it must be Chai Xiangan. It's said that he's a madman and even killed his adoptive father."

"Well, aren't we in danger?"

He and Li lingsu pushed away the villagers and entered the courtyard.

A simple wooden board was set up in the room. A family of three lay on it, covered with dirty white cloth. A gray haired old man sat down beside the board and cried.

A young couple was busy in the room. They were dressed in ordinary cloth clothes. Their hands were rough and their faces were dark. They were used to rough work.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Xu Qian and Li lingsu come in, the young couple are a little wary, especially Li lingsu in a robe and a hood.

"Officials."

Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "who let you move the body without authorization? What if it destroys the clues left by the murderer? "

He came up to question. The young man was at a loss and thought he had made a big mistake.

Li lingsu took the opportunity to enter the inner room, the scene of the murder, and closed the door.

Not giving young people a chance to react, Xu Qian put on a straight face and asked, "what's your relationship with this family?"

The young man looked back at the dead man with sadness on his dull face:

"he is my brother, and my father is his uncle. At noon, the neighbor saw a stranger come in, and then he left again soon. He came to see the situation and called for no reply for a long time. When he came in, he found that all the people were killed..."

and his eyes were red.

Xu Qi'an face does not change color, way: "that neighborhood calls to come over."

The young man walked out of the threshold, glanced at the crowd outside the courtyard and said in dialect:

"the official has something to ask. Come here."

He pointed to some of the neighbors.

Soon, two old ladies came in, both neighbors.

The old ladies were afraid and could not restrain the nature of the good doers. They looked at the three corpses on the board frequently.

"What strange man has been here?"

Xu Qian asked and got the answer of "a strange man came at noon".

"Did anyone strange come in the morning?"

The two old ladies looked at each other and shook their heads.

One said he didn't notice, the other said he didn't see it.

Although there are not many people in the small village, the advantage is that if there are strangers coming into the village, they will be more likely to commit murder at night..... He thought secretly. At this time, Li lingsu came out of the house and shook his head at him.

"The soul is scattered." Li lingsu said.

Xu Qi'an's face sank and nodded slowly.

They left the village in a hurry.

On the way back, Li lingsu whispered, "what happened."

"I followed Chai Xian that day and found it all the way here. Chai Xian was hiding in this family, which was one of the footholds."

Sitting on the back of the little mare, Xu Qi'an looked far away and said:

"on that day, we agreed to use this as the contact point to exchange information. I intend to encourage him to go to the demon slaughtering meeting to confront Chai xing'er and take the opportunity to lock his position. Well, on that day, I was following a cat with a heart bug. When I came here, he had already left. "

The reason why he wanted to find Chai Xian is ignored here.

Although Li lingsu had doubts, he didn't ask in detail. He pondered: "but Chai Xian didn't appear at the demon slaughtering meeting today.""Yes

Xu Qi'an nodded: "so I came here to confirm, but found that they were killed."

"Hiss..." Li lingsu took a cold breath:

"the purpose of killing is to prevent Chai Xian from participating in the demon slaughtering conference? There is a problem here, that is, the people who killed him knew that Chai Xian would come here tonight. Otherwise, if Chai Xian can't get your note, he won't appear, so there's no need to kill people. "

This sentence awakened Xu Qi'an, and he said in a deep voice: "maybe it's not to prevent Chai Xian from getting the note, but to scare Chai Xian away."

"What do you say?" Li lingsu asked.

"I don't know much about Chai Xian, but I know he is a bit extreme. He stayed in Xiangzhou to prove his innocence and find out the real culprit behind the scenes. Even without my note, he will probably take advantage of the opportunity of the demon slaughtering conference to redress his grievances. "

Xu Qi'an analyzed: "the note is an extra insurance for me, but it's not the most important one. But I'm not sure why Chai Xian came last night? "

The premise of killing people is that Chai Xian gets the note and tomorrow he will mess up at the demon slaughtering meeting.

But Xu Qi'an is not sure that Chai Xian came to Xiaoshan village last night. If he doesn't come, there will be no note, and the motive for killing people will not exist.

But the three members of the family were killed, which means that the people behind the scenes know that Chai Xian came last night.

Li lingsu understood:

"the note is not the key. The key is that the killer behind the scenes knew Chai Xian would be here last night. He killed the three members of the family ahead of time, which frightened Chai Xian and made him feel that the mysterious man he met that day, that is, you, the elder, was a man with evil intentions.

"Out of caution, he gave up the idea of disturbing the meeting. But what is the purpose of the murderer? "

Unable to give an answer, Xu Qi'an shook his head and said, "there is a lack of key information. In this case, besides Chai xing'er and Chai Xian, there is also a person behind the scenes. He's killing people everywhere. Lock in the identity of this person, and the truth will be basically solved. "

Li lingsu thought of a character: "can it be Chai LAN?"

The character never appeared. She disappeared on the day of Chai Jianyuan's death. There was no news of her.

Xu Qian asked, "does she have this accomplishment?"

"Chai Lan's accomplishments are good, but he should not have reached the fourth grade or even the fifth grade. But it's not sure if she has hidden power. " Li lingsu is not sure.

Xu Qi'an said, "these two days are not used to find me."

"Why?"

"I will investigate the case secretly, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and then kill him." Xu Qi'an said without expression.

......

Chaifu.

A monk returns to the courtyard and rings the door of Jingxin's room. When he gets permission, he pushes the door in and sees Jingxin and Jingyuan talking by hand.

"Two elder martial brothers, benefactor Chai Xinger asked me to tell you that in Xiaobu village, more than 30 miles to the west of Xiangzhou City, there was a case of killing a family, which was suspected to have been committed by people in the Jianghu.

"After the search team organized by the government inquired about the situation, it has been ruled out that Chai Xian was responsible for it. However, according to the villagers, a man in green came to the village at noon today. Not long after that, two strange looking outsiders came to the village, claiming to be officials.

"But the Yamen has confirmed that these two people are not from the government."

He detailed the death of a family of three.

The pure heart twists the chess piece, "PATA" falls, the voice is gentle: "knew."

The monk retreated.

"Maybe it's a Ranger." Jingyuan said.

He was referring to the two fake officials who came after the incident.

"Why do you kill people if you don't take blood essence and don't ask for money?" Pure heart frowns and ponders.

"Maybe it's revenge, maybe it's evil people fishing in troubled waters. Don't care too much. If we want to solve this problem earlier, we have to get rid of it. " Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

After the demon slaughtering conference, the government and several major forces in the river and the lake searched the city door to door.

There are also "search teams" in the towns.

To achieve this, the Xiangzhou government has made great achievements.

"Tonight, you will go out of the city for inspection. Remember to show off." Pure heart.

"Well." Jingyuan nodded.

Jingxin puts down the chess pieces, takes out an ancient book from the cloth bag, turns the page, stops at a certain page.

"there is a secret cult of corpse in the southern Xinjiang corpse department, which is born out of the technique of raising the poison, and engulfing each other between the corpses and grabbing the essence. The last winner is the king of the dead."

"Above the iron corpse is the flying corpse. The flying corpse does not have the warning of the danger of the spirit refining Wufu, the ultimate control of the strength of the Huajin Wufu, and the" intention "of the fourth grade Wufu. However, the flying corpse can fly in the air for a short time, and its combat power is not weak. The fourth grade Wufu is even stronger."

"Because they grabbed enough blood essence, condensed the rudiment of blood pill in the body, and possessed the ability of flesh and blood regeneration."

Jingxin said slowly: "after killing so many Wufu, some of them were snatched blood essence and some of them disappeared. I'm afraid the people behind the scenes want to make a flying corpse. He will definitely not let go of you who have completed the Vajra magic skill. "Jingyuan said with a smile: "especially in the demon slaughtering conference, I showed five accomplishments."

Just then, another monk came in and handed over a note:

"elder martial brother Jingxin, the housekeeper of Chai's house handed me a letter saying that someone had sent it outside the door. I want to give it to you by name."

Pure heart with doubt, open the envelope.

...

Xu Qian returns to the Inn and knocks on the door.

"Who is it?"

Mu Nanzhi's vigilant voice rang out behind the door.

"I don't know."

Xu Qian recognized that her voice was not right and said, "open the door. What's the matter?"

Zhi ~

when the door opened, mu Nanzhi stood behind the door with a serious face.

Two small white foxes with big palms squatted at her feet, and their childish voices pretended to be serious:

"someone is watching us. If you don't come back, my aunt will be scared to get under the drill."
