Nightwatcher

Chai Xing'er showed an innocent and blank smile: "What did Senior Xu say?"

"How?" Xu Qi'an asked back with a smile: "The mastermind behind all this, isn't it you?"

Li Lingsu's face changed slightly.

Jing Xin and other monks also looked over in surprise, including Jing Yuan who had woken up and was pale. .

Chai Xing'er shook her head: "Senior, you misunderstood me."

The woman is worthy of being an actress, her eyes and tone are sincere and innocent, and there is no trace of guilt.

You put on a show in front of Xu Yinluo, the grand master. Xu Qi'an let out a "huh":

"Don't rush to deny it, just listen to me.

"During this period of time, I have investigated Chai Jianyuan's case quite deeply. Let's sort out the case from the beginning. First of all, according to your statement, Chai Jianyuan was killed by Chai Xian in the study. The time was night. When you arrived, I saw Chai Xian and Chai Jianyuan in the house.

"And the latter is dead, isn't it?"

Chai Xing'er nodded: "This is something that everyone in the Chai Mansion has seen. Do seniors think I'm lying?"

"Of course you didn't lie. What you see is true, but it may not be the truth."

Xu Qi'an said: "Both Chai Jianyuan and Chai Xian are five-grade powers, and their copper skin and iron bones are very defensive. Even if Chai Xian makes a sneak attack by surprise, it is impossible to kill Chai Jianyuan in a short time. But, when you arrived At that time, Chai Jianyuan was already dead, and the Chai Mansion is only this big."

Li Lingsu's eyes brightened slightly, and he remembered what Xu Qi'an said: "It's poisoning, Chai Jianyuan was poisoned beforehand."

Jing Xin nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Lingsu's statement.

The other monks listened silently.

Xu Qi'an continued: "For this reason, I deliberately sneaked into the cellar and dissected Chai Jianyuan's body. I found that he did show signs of poisoning."

While speaking, he walked up to Chai Jianyuan and tore open the shirt on his chest, revealing the stitched "wound" inside.

Chai Xing'er's expression became complicated, and she said, "I see, you were the one who sneaked into the cellar that night."

After a pause, she said in a deep voice, "It seems that Chai Xian planned to poison elder brother secretly."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Chai Xian, who was suspicious of his life. He lowered his head, thinking about something, completely indifferent to the affairs around him.

Autistic.

"Amitabha."

Jing Xin shook his head and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.

"No, the person who poisoned you was not Chai Xian, but you, Chai Xing'er." Xu Qi'an said loudly.

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes to Chai Xing'er.

Li Lingsu opened his eyes wide.

Chai Xian's thoughts stopped for a moment.

Chai Xing'er's pretty face was slightly stiff: "Senior, you still don't believe me?"

Xu Qi'an ignored it, and talked freely:

"Do you still remember why Chai Jianyuan didn't tell Chai Xian his life experience? Just because he was afraid that he would be hit? Anyone who can cultivate to the fifth grade of energy is not a person with a tough mind. What is this blow?

"I didn't want to understand it at first, but when I saw Chai Xian's leaving soul disease, I suddenly understood why Chai Jianyuan would hide his life experience. This would only aggravate his condition, and even some bad things would happen. For example, we are now see the ending."

Everyone thought about it.

Li Lingsu was stunned, and immediately frowned and asked, "But what does this have to do with Xing'er?"

Xu Qi'an glanced at Qingli's wife:

"Chai Xing'er's ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan, and you felt resentful, so you took advantage of the conflict between father and son because of Chai Lan's marriage, and secretly let Chai Xian know about his life experience, which aggravated the dementia disorder.

"At the same time, poison Chai Jianyuan to let him die in the hands of Chai Xian reasonably. Chai Xian was extreme since he was a child, and his other side was even more extreme and ruthless. He found that Chai Jianyuan was the culprit that caused his tragic childhood, and it was Chai Jianyuan who wanted him How will he react when the girl he loves marries someone else?"

The inner hall was suddenly quiet.

Chai Xing'er could feel those gazes focusing on her at this moment.

She just glanced at Li Lingsu and said:

"Senior Xu, these are all your guesses, there is no evidence. Moreover, Xiaolan's whereabouts are still unknown. She is close to Chai Xian, so she may not know Chai Xian's identity, and may have seen his six-toed. Therefore, She won't fall in love with Chai Xian."

"On this point, you can ask Chai Xian if you know that he has six toes on his left foot."

Chai Xing'er continued: "She didn't want to marry into the Huangfu family, so she poisoned her eldest brother, secretly revealed Chai Xian's true identity, and then fled. So far, her whereabouts are unknown. Senior, is my speculation reasonable? ?”

Still don't admit it!

"Just because you don't want to get married?"

A young monk couldn't help asking questions.

"Then Xing'er will not kill her own elder brother just because Chai Jianyuan turned her ex-husband into an iron corpse."

Li Lingsu said in a low voice: "Senior, Chai Jianyuan had no choice but to turn Xing'er's ex-husband into an iron corpse. It was not deliberate. Even if Xing'er has resentment in her heart, it is just resentment."

Xu Qi'an ignored it and smiled:

"I really don't quite understand your motives. This is for later. Chai Xing'er, who is locked in the secret room under the ancestral hall, do you need me to tell you?"

Chai Xing'er's face turned pale instantly.

Xu Qi'an looked around at the crowd, and then looked at Chai Xian: "Chai Lan was locked in the secret room of the ancestral hall by Chai Xing'er, and I have already found her."

Chai Xian raised his head violently, his lips trembling: "She, she is fine."

"Li Lingsu, go and bring someone here." Xu Qi'an raised his chin towards the door.

"Me?" Li Lingsu pointed at herself.

"Could it be me?" Xu Qi'an asked back.

But I don't know where the secret room is. Li Lingsu instinctively didn't want to go, afraid of revealing the truth, but when he saw an orange cat standing at the door, he raised his paw and patted the threshold displeased.

So he knew that if he didn't go to Xu Qian, the old man, he would be angry, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step out.

The inner hall was quiet, and no one spoke.

The Buddhist monks were half expecting and half fearful. They were looking forward to the progress of the case, but they were afraid because they didn't know how Xu Qi'an would deal with them later.

The Zen masters still have the power to fight, but they have no chance of winning in the face of the unpredictable knife. And the opponent also has a puppet that can cast and counteract the precepts.

As for Jing Xin, he is the person who knows Xu Qi'an's identity and cultivation best.

Others may have the idea of ​​gamble, but Jingxin does not take any chances in this regard.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Lingsu came in with a disheveled woman in her arms. The orange cat who had left together just now did not follow.

Chai Xing'er's face turned pale again.

Chai Xian stared at the woman firmly, and as he got closer, he could see the woman's face clearly through the messy hair.

"Xiao Lan."

He trembled and made a sound like a cry.

Chai Lan opened her mouth, emotionally unable to speak, and burst into tears.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan"

Chai Xian twisted his body, moved in front of her, examined it carefully several times, mixed with sorrow and joy: "It's fine, it's fine if you're fine."

Xu Qi'an looked at the beautiful wife: "What else is there to argue about?"

The appearance of Chai Lan is ironclad evidence against Chai Xing'er. It is meaningless to forcibly quibble, because there are still disciplines waiting for her.

Chai Xing'er understood this truth, she didn't say anything more, walked towards Li Lingsu slowly, raised her hands, held Shengzi's handsome face, and said softly:

"Li Lang, I knew you were a libertine. From the moment I saw you, I knew what kind of person you are."

She sighed and said, "I didn't want to pay attention to you, but you just wanted to provoke me. After you came back from the Valley of the Thousand Ends, it would be difficult for me to fall in love with you against my heart. What I thought at that time was that even if you were a prodigal son, I like a man who is willing to risk his life for you, even if he is a prodigal son."

"Xing'er, you, why are you doing this?" Li Lingsu said pitifully.

For a mouthful of grievances, why do this? Just because Chai Jianyuan turned his dead husband into an iron corpse?

Li Lingsu couldn't understand it. Just as he was about to say something, Chai Xing'er, who was holding his cheek, suddenly turned her palm around and patted her own brow.

The change came too fast, Li Lingsu was caught off guard, and could only watch the palm full of energy slapping Chai Xing'er's eyebrows while the pupils shrank sharply.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in Li Lingsu's pupil, holding Chai Xing'er's wrist.

"Thinking of suicide? Did I allow it?"

Xu Qi'an sneered.

"Senior Xu"

The saint suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and said in his heart that senior, you are so reliable, you will always be my backer.

Immediately, Li Lingsu, who was frightened for a while, pressed Chai Xinger's shoulders, startled, angry and pity:

"Suicide? You keep saying you love me, but you commit suicide with your backhand? Why?"

Chai Xing'er ignored him, looked sideways at Xu Qi'an, and said bitterly: "Senior, I have nothing to say, I can only apologize with death, you also want to take care of it?"

"I haven't finished the question yet. I want to die now. Is it too urgent?"

Seeing Xu Qian's half-smile expression, and meeting the other's scorching gaze, Chai Xing'er suddenly felt stripped naked, unable to hide any secrets.

What's the meaning?

The murderer behind the scenes has pleaded guilty, and the truth of the case has been revealed, so what else is there to ask?

In the surprised expressions of everyone, Li Lingsu said: "Senior?"

"I have two doubts, and I would like to ask Aunt Chai to answer them."

Xu Qi'an swept across the crowd, "Don't you find it strange that Chai Xing'er's ex-husband has been dead for nearly three years, why has she stayed on the sidelines for these three years and has to wait until now to take action?"

Jing Xin and Li Lingsu frowned at the same time.

They understood Xu Qian's words, the premise of forbearance is to look for opportunities or accumulate strength. But in the past three years, what stopped Chai Xing'er from taking revenge?

Chai Xing'er pursed her lips, and said calmly: "I'm waiting for an opportunity to aggravate Chai Xian's dementia. The marriage between the Chai family and the Huangfu family is an opportunity."

"Heh, with Chai Xian's condition, it's not a day's cold to be frozen three feet. Even if there is no matter about the Huangfu's family, he may commit the act of killing his father. Of course, you can wait for the opportunity if you insist."

Xu Qi'an's expression was calm, with the calmness and confidence of an old criminal policeman:

"The second question, why did you imprison Chai Lan?

"Suppose all your plans are for revenge, Chai Jianyuan is your enemy, Chai Xian is your tool, but Chai Lan is an outsider, why do you imprison her?"

Chai Xing'er was silent for a long time, resentment flashed in her eyes, "Do you know why my husband and elder brother were ambushed by the enemy when we were out on errands?"

She let out a "huh", looked around at the crowd, and said with a sneer, "There is no such thing as an enemy at all, everything is set up by the elder brother."

"nonsense."

Chai Lan refuted loudly excitedly, choked up and said: "Why did father do this, aunt, you have harmed father, do you still want to slander him?"

Chai Xinger sneered and said:

"Of course it's because of his evil seed. My husband and I are both fifth-rank. When my husband joins the Chai family, he is the Chai family. And his two sons can't do anything. Only Chai Xian has excellent talent, but he suffers from the disease of leaving the soul. He While looking for a cure, at the same time worried that if Chai Xian's leaving soul disease cannot be cured, how will he inherit the position of Patriarch as his adopted son?

"Will the tribe support an outsider, or support our husband and wife? When he is alive, he is confident that he can suppress our husband and wife, but once he dies, the Chai family will be our husband and wife's pocket.

"So, he wanted to take advantage of my childlessness and get rid of my husband to maintain the balance. In this way, even if Chai Xian's illness cannot be cured in the future, Chai Xian can help the second or third child as an adopted son.

"Let the position of Patriarch of the Chai family not fall into my hands.

"He caused my husband to die miserably, and I will fight back for my beloved daughter. But Lan'er is my niece after all, and I still haven't got the heart to kill her."

"How could this be?" Li Lingsu had no idea that there was such a secret behind the case.

"Amitabha Buddha, fame and wealth are all floating clouds. Donor Chai Jianyuan made a big mistake because of his own selfishness. Donor Chai Xinger also made a big mistake because he couldn't let go of hatred."

Jing Xin shook her head and said with emotion.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it"

Chai Lan shook her head desperately.

Chai Xing'er looked at Xu Qi'an: "Senior Xu, if you don't believe me, you can use the commandments to interrogate me."

"I believe it." Xu Qi'an nodded and said with a smile, "But you still lied."

Now, everyone turned their attention from Chai Xing'er to Xu Qi'an.

Chai Xing'er's expression changed.

"You are telling the truth. Chai Jianyuan may have really harmed your husband back then. However, this has nothing to do with your detention of Chai Lan. If you are not determined, you will not kill her. If you are determined, you will kill her. Your words are convincing They have said a lot, but they are actually diverting our attention."

In front of me, I used this kind of rhetoric to divert attention and secretly change concepts, ah, woman, you don't know how to write the word Xu Yinluo. Xu Qi'an only hates that he has no eyes and can't reflect light sharply.

"In addition, Chai Jianyuan has two sons. If you want to take revenge on him, shouldn't you choose two nephews? Why did you choose your niece? If my guess is correct, your purpose of imprisoning Chai Lan is to keep Chai Xian In Xiangzhou."

thump thump thump. Chai Xing'er retreated again and again, her expression was very strange, as if she saw a devil.

All her secrets were seen through.

"You, who are you!?" Chai Xing'er screamed.

Li Lingsu and Jing Xin vaguely understood a little bit, but as for the others, their thinking couldn't keep up.

Including Chai Xian and Chai Lan.

"It doesn't matter who I am, now please answer my last question: why do you want Chai Xian to stay in Xiangzhou."

Chai Xing'er gritted her teeth tightly and refused to say a word.

Xu Qi'an snapped his fingers.

Heng Yin straightened her body, stepped on her feet, and raised her hands in a military salute: "yes sir."

Then, the head of Sanhua Temple clasped his hands together and said slowly: "No lies!"

An invisible but majestic force enveloped Chai Xing'er, making her unable to lie.

"Why did you imprison Chai Lan?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Including Li Lingsu, everyone looked at Chai Xing'er in unison.

Chai Xing'er's face contorted for a while, but she couldn't go against her heart after all, and said truthfully, "In order to keep Chai Xian in Xiangzhou."

That's true! !

Everyone present immediately understood that everything was as Xu Qian expected.

"What's the reason?" Xu Qi'an asked the most critical question.

Chai Xing'er's beautiful face was completely distorted, and she said word by word:

"He, he is the host of Dragon Qi. I can't let him leave Xiangzhou before the superior arrives."

Does she know the Dragon Qi host? ! Xu Qi'an and Jing Xin's expressions changed drastically.

Dragon Qi host, and Dragon Qi again? What is Dragon Qi? During the six months that I was under house arrest by the Dongfang Sisters, what happened to the outside world? Li Lingsu thought blankly.

In the pagoda of the Buddha, he knew that the golden dragon that Xu Qian and Fomen robbed was called Dragon Qi.

But I don't know more information, Xu Qian didn't tell him.

Xu Qi'an's face was serious, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is your identity?"

Chai Xing'er struggled for a few seconds: "I am the dark son of the "Tianji Palace", collecting information on Zhangzhou and Jianghu for the organization."

"What kind of organization is Tianji Palace and what kind of force does it belong to?"

"I, I don't know"

"Tell me everything you know." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"Not long ago, the organization sent information, asking me to pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in Zhangzhou's territory. This includes some sudden major incidents, people in the world who suddenly became famous, masters who have improved by leaps and bounds, etc.

"Information said that the Dafeng dragon's veins had collapsed, and the dragon's aura was scattered across the states in the Central Plains, choosing a host to live in. Not long after, I discovered that Chai Xian's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had comprehended Huajin in a short period of time.

"You know, he just stepped into the sixth rank last year, and with his aptitude, it will take at least five years to comprehend Huajin. I reported the information to my superiors and observed Chai Xian while waiting for the news.

"I suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to take revenge on my elder brother and take control of the Chai family. So I planned all of this."

Li Lingsu closed her eyes and sighed, "Myolie, you must have leaked the information about me and Senior Xu to Jing Xin and the others."

Chai Xinger nodded bitterly:

"I imprisoned Xiaolan to keep Chai Xian and wait for the superior to arrive. I didn't expect that it was you and the Buddhist sect who were waiting. What makes me even more helpless is that you all have a strong curiosity about Chai Xian.

"In order to prevent you from finding Chai Xian and spoiling my affairs, I leaked information about you and him to the Buddhist sect, so that you can focus on dealing with each other and ignore Chai Xian. It's a pity that Jingxin couldn't find Senior Xu."

I have the Heavenly Gu's "Moving Stars and Changing Battles" spell, so of course I can't find my Tianji Palace. This familiar name, if I guess correctly, is not a spy organization established by the Son of Man.

It is impossible for the idle Jianghu forces to know about the collapse of dragon energy. As one of the culprits of the collapse of dragon energy, how could he not collect dragon energy?

As a second-rank "Qi trainer" who plans to rebel, his eyeliner and shadows cannot be limited to Yunzhou. I didn't expect that I would run into one.

Maybe I can follow Chai Xing'er's line and root out the dark son who is not a son of man. Well, this is too simple, with the IQ of not being a son of man, it is impossible to be so stupid. Xu Qi'an pinched his brows.

Dafeng Longqi collapsed? What are they talking about? Li Lingsu inexplicably felt that she was out of touch with the times.

He quickly looked at the others, and was shocked to find that, except for Chai Xian and Chai Lan, who were the same as him, the others were not surprised at all, as if they already knew it.

Wait, Dragon Qi? Dragon Vein? !

Li Lingsu suddenly remembered that he had read about dragon veins in the ancient books of Tianzong.

He thus thought of the event that Emperor Dafeng was beheaded by that Xu Yinluo.

Will the two be related?

At this time, Jing Xin suddenly said: "How does Benefactor Xu plan to deal with them and us?"

The power of life and death of everyone present is in Xu Qi'an's hands.

The first thing he looked at was Chai Xian.

Extracting dragon energy is a must. As for Chai Xian, he has committed numerous murders, but he is a mentally ill patient, not a subjective crime. According to the law of my previous life, such a person should be locked up in a mental hospital and cannot come out for the rest of his life. But according to Dabong’s law , This kind of person will be put to death early. Sure enough, I am only suitable for solving cases, not a judge.

Xu Qi'an was thinking about it.

At this time, Chai Xian raised his head and said, "Can you untie my rope?"

His expression was calm, and his tone seemed calm, as if he had made a decision long ago.

Xu Qi'an drew out the peace knife, the light of the knife flashed, and easily cut the rope of the magic weapon.

Chai Xian nodded at him, and said softly: "The mistake I made, I will atone with my life. He is right, I am too cowardly, and I have never dared to face myself."

This he refers to another personality.

"When I was eight years old, my mother died of illness, and I started begging for a living. I was bullied and bullied. When I was hungry and crazy, I even had to compete with dogs for food. When it was the most difficult time, I wished that I would die immediately, and death was the same. A kind of relief. I hated my biological father all the time. Later, my adoptive father found me and brought me back to Chai’s house.”

He turned his head and looked at Chai Lan beside him, with a gentle smile: "I have found the meaning of living, but it's a pity that this is just a mirror image."

Chai Xian stretched out his palm, wanting to touch Chai Lan's cheek, but his hand froze in mid-air.

"If I could go back to the past, I would not enter Chai's house. I wish I had never met you in this life."

The hand that was frozen in mid-air was retracted and patted on the center of his forehead.

boom!

In the sound of bone cracking, accompanied by Chai Lan's scream, Chai Xian's body froze suddenly, blood overflowed from his eye sockets, and he fell limply to the ground.

A thick dragon aura flew out of Chai Xian's body, rushing towards the roof with claws and claws, wanting to leave here.

PS: Finally finished writing, nearly 6,000 words.
