“It feels like a cannon hitting a fly. If Chai Xian is infatuated and is willing to kill Chai Lan’s father, then as long as Chai LAN is hidden and used as a hostage, he will not leave Xiang Zhou.

“So, there’s more to this case than meets the eye, and it’s not as simple as it seems.

“Let’s trace back to the source and start investigating from the chai family ..

Xu Qi ‘an flicked his hand and burned the paper to ashes. He threw it into the small celadon water tank and left the inn.

An hour later, the innkeeper sat behind the counter, fiddling with an Abacus and arranging the accounts.

A gentle voice that was chanting the name of Buddha came to his ears.

“Amitabha!”

The shopkeeper looked up and saw a monk with the characteristics of a Western regioner. He was wearing a robe that was convenient for traveling, calm and reserved.

“Master, do you want to stay in the inn or do you want to go to the peak?” The shopkeeper was all smiles.

He had been running this Inn in Xiang Zhou for most of his life and had seen the monk countless times. In the Central Plains, Buddhist monks were “rare.” The young monk put his hands together and said in a gentle tone, ”

I want to ask if a man and a woman have been staying in the shop recently. The man is wearing green clothes and the woman is plain-looking, and they are riding a war Horse.

The monk’s words seemed to have the power to convince people. A strange feeling rose in the shopkeeper’s heart, as if the monk opposite him was a dignified father.

“There is such a pair of guests.”

The shopkeeper replied honestly, “I don’t have any impression of a plain-looking couple, but I know who Grandmaster is talking about when you mention warhorses.” But unfortunately, this guest has just checked out and left.”

“Thank you for telling me, shopkeeper,” Jingxin said with a nod.

Late at night, Chai Manor.

A shadow sneaked silently in the dark. The torch of the patrolling guards distorted the reflection of the Green Belt, and for a moment, the shadow was revealed.

However, in the next moment, it disappeared without a sound and appeared in the darkness further away, continuing to head towards its destination.

Soon, he arrived at a small, secluded courtyard.

He didn’t enter immediately because there were many more guards around the small courtyard, and there was no lack of spirit forging stage martial artists.

However, the black shadow did not retreat because of this. He took a detour and came to the back of the small courtyard.

Inside the room, the candlelight was bright, and the rich smell of meat filled the room. Three men were sitting around the table, eating an antique soup, which was also a hot pot.

Ever since Chai Xian had invaded the underground cellar, the chai residence had strengthened its defenses.

Not only did they send more men outside, but there were also experts “stationed” in the house day and night.

Xu Qi ‘an stood outside the house one wall away and sensed with rapt attention.

The three people inside are all martial artists above the spirit-forging stage.. sneak attack will only make them sense my presence in advance, and thus attract the guards outside … In the past, I would probably have to force my way in, but now I’m no longer a crude martial artist.”

A dozen seconds later, in a hole in the ground, a sleeping rat woke up and opened its blood-red eyes.

This was not an ordinary rat. Its entire body was filled with poison, and the poison spurted out as it breathed, infecting all the living creatures around it.

Inside the house!

“Why did Chai Xian come back?”

A tall and sturdy man said.

I heard from the elders that he’s looking for Xiao LAN. This madman thought that Xiao LAN had been killed and is hiding in the cellar.

“Didn’t he take Xiao LAN away?” the other man shook his head.

As they were talking, they heard a squeaking sound. They looked towards the sound and saw a fat black rat standing in the shadow of the corner. Its red eyes were staring at the three of them silently.

As martial artists who had a strong sense of danger, the moment the three men saw the rat, their instincts began to warn them.

They instinctively grabbed the weapons on the table and shouted to inform the guards outside.

However, the next moment, the three of them fell limply on the table and fainted.

A few seconds later, a shadow emerged from under the table. Xu Qi ‘an looked around and listened carefully. After making sure that the guards outside the courtyard had not noticed the movement inside, he turned to the entrance of the cellar and opened the heavy stone cover.

The three people in the room were poisoned with a strong numbing effect. It was not life-threatening, and they would be weak for a few days at most.

As the stone cover was opened, a dark hole appeared. Xu Qi ‘an took out the candles he had prepared and lit them. With an orange glow, he walked down the steps into the cellar.

He walked through the rows of corpses with light steps, feeling that this was the most peaceful and comfortable place in the world.

However, the investigation was more important. He resisted the urge to talk and interact with the corpse and went straight to the secret room deep in the basement.

Chai Manor had a custom. After the death of a Clansman, they would either be cremated or their corpses would be offered to the clan and refined into walking corpses.

This was to prevent the corpses of the clansmen from being dug up by outsiders.

Before the operation, Xu Qi ‘an had already received information from li lingsu that Chai Jianyuan’s body had been refined into a walking corpse by Chai Xing’ er and was stored in the cellar.

Chai Xing ‘er’s explanation was that the chai family had encountered a great change and urgently needed strength to protect the family’s safety.

This reason won the approval of the chai family.

However, Xu Qi ‘an believed that there was a selfish motive behind this.

Of course, Chai Xing ‘er’s thoughts were not important. Xu Qi’ an had sneaked in to do an autopsy.

The corpse could give a lot of information, such as the appearance of the wound, the injury, and so on, which could tell Xu Qi ‘an whether the crime was committed by an acquaintance.

Soon, he arrived at the secret room in the depths of the cellar.

The door of the secret room was locked.

Xu Qi ‘an placed his palm on the lock and exerted a strong force. With a clang, the lock was directly blown away, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

There weren’t many bodies in the secret chamber. There were four on each side of the room, wearing masks and grey clothes of the same style. From their slightly bulging chests, he could tell that three of them were female.

Xu Qi ‘an took off the headcover. After some identification, he recognized that the third body on the left was Chai Jianyuan.

Interestingly, the third body on the right was a male corpse with clear facial features. According to li lingsu’s description, ” he ” was Chai Xing ‘er’s ex-nusDana.

“Tsk, the two of them are looking at each other. Chai Xing ‘er really hates Chai Jianyuan.”

Xu Qi ‘an didnt waste any time. He kicked Chai Jianyuan’s body down, stripped off his gray clothes, and examined the body with a candle in his hand.

There was a stitched wound on Chai Jianyuan’s chest, but the livor mortis that covered it destroyed the traces of other wounds.

Xu Qi ‘an moved the candle, and the orange glow moved down from his chest and stopped between his legs. He wrapped his hands in his gray clothes and took out the egg.

“Crotch attack excluded!”

This position was a relatively weak spot for a warrior with copper skin and iron bones.

Moving further down, the light of the candle illuminated Chai Jianyuan’s feet.

In the darkness, Xu Qi ‘an’s pupils expanded slightly, and his gaze froze.

Chai Jianyuan’s left foot had six toes.
