The little white fox kept shaking his head: "My intuition is never wrong."

"I understand."

Xu Qi'an said: "The two of you are temporarily staying in the Pagoda of the Buddha. I did encounter some strange things during my investigation recently."

He called the waiter in the inn, prepared some dry food, clean water, and daily necessities, then sacrificed the Lingfutu Pagoda, and took Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox into it.

After finishing all this, Xu Qi'an did not leave immediately, walked to the table, spread out the paper, and habitually reviewed the Chai family's case. .

Although there was a certain amount of attention and analysis before, Xu Qi'an always put the capture of dragon energy in the first place, and the scrutiny of the case was limited.

To this day, after witnessing the death of a family of three, Xu Qi'an decided to put his dragon spirit aside for now, devote himself to the case, and have fun with the people behind the scenes.

"Follow me, kill people, keep an eye on Mu Nanzhi, okay, let's play with you."

He has quite a wealth of experience in criminal investigation, as well as knowledge of criminal psychology, and his analysis of problems is far more precise and sensitive than the smart people of this era.

"The source of everything is the murder that happened in Chai's mansion [-] years ago. The deceased Chai Jianyuan, the suspect's adopted son Chai Xian, the witness Chai Xing'er, including everyone in the Chai family. The motive for the murder: because of love!

"Note: Miss Chai Lan is missing."

Xu Qi'an did not stop writing, and continued to write:

"The motive is not enough to support the suspect's killing his father or relatives, or for other reasons, or being framed.

"Chai Xinger's ex-husband died because of Chai Jianyuan, and he harbored resentment; Chai Jianyuan's heirs were mediocre and unable to inherit the family business. Therefore, Chai Xinger was the biggest beneficiary and had sufficient motives to kill."

After writing this paragraph, Xu Qi'an made a summary:

The first suspect, Chai Xian; the second suspect, Chai Xinger.

Although in his speculation, Chai Xing'er was more suspected than Chai Xian, there was evidence that Chai Xian was the murderer.The investigation cannot be ideal, so Chai Xian is still the first suspect.

Xu Qi'an picked up the teacup, took a sip, and kept holding the cup. Ten seconds later, he began to write the second stage of the case.

"Afterwards, Chai Xian repeatedly committed homicides in Xiangzhou and even Zhangzhou, targeting people from all over the world, and later affected the common people!

"Note: This is not in line with the behavior of a suspect who killed his father for love."

In short, Chai Xian's motive for committing the crime is completely contradictory and unreasonable with his subsequent actions to stir up trouble in Xiangzhou.

This is nothing more than three situations:

"Conclusion: Chai Xian's motive for killing can be overturned, not for love, there are other reasons; Chai Xian was framed, there is another hidden story in this case."

After sorting out the case, Xu Qi'an then wrote down two doubtful points:

"Is the murderer in the small village the real murderer behind the scenes?"

"What is the purpose of the murder case in Xiangzhou?"

Xu Qi'an put down his pen and carefully analyzed:

"If the person behind the scenes killed last night, then he (she) is fully capable of ambushing Chai Xian and eradicating him. But the person behind the scenes did not do so. If the person behind the scenes is Chai Xing'er, Chai Xian should not be killed. Get rid of it and hurry up?"

Here again there is a contradiction.

There are three contradictions in the whole case. If Chai Xian is the murderer, then the Chaifu murder and the subsequent mass killings are contradictory.

Based on this contradiction, it highlights the possibility that Chai Xinger's vested interests framed Chai Xian.

But last night's murder case in Xiaoshan Village once again contradicted the speculation that "Chai Xing'er is the murderer behind the scenes".

In the first phase of the case, the Chaifu murder case, the suspect was identified as Chai Xian.

In the second phase of the case, there were frequent murders in Xiangzhou, and the suspect was identified as Chai Xing'er.

The third stage of the small village extermination case further reduced the suspicion that Chai Xing'er was the person behind the scenes, making the case even more complicated and confusing.

"Where's Chai Lan? Where did Chai Lan go?

"Assuming that Chai Xing'er is the mastermind behind the scenes, but Chai Lan was responsible for the case of killing the family in Xiaoshan Village, then the previous speculation can barely be established, and there is no need to overthrow it. But what is Chai Lan's purpose for doing this?

"I can't make such speculations. Chai Lan never showed up from the beginning to the end, and there are no clues related to her. Making such assumptions will only lead me to a dead end."

After analyzing this point, Xu Qi'an vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This is an old detective's intuition.

Xu Qi'an leaned back, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes. This process lasted for more than ten minutes. When he opened his eyes, he already had the answer in his heart.

confusion!

Yes, the biggest problem with the Chai family's case was the confusion and contradictions everywhere, but what really made him realize that something was wrong was the motive!

"All the contradictions lie in unreasonable motives. Chai Xian's motive for killing Chai Jianyuan is unreasonable, the motive for the small village extermination case is unreasonable, and the motive for killing so many people just to keep Chai Xian is also unreasonable.

"It feels like hitting a fly with a cannon. If Chai Xian is an infatuated seed, he is willing to kill his father for Chai Lan, so as long as he hides Chai Lan and takes it as a hostage, he will not leave Xiangzhou.

"Therefore, there is another hidden story in this case, which is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

"Trace back to the source, starting from the Chai family"

Xu Qi'an lit the paper with shaking hands, turning it into ashes, threw it into the small celadon water tank for washing pens, and left the inn.

Half an hour later, the shopkeeper of the inn sat behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus and sorting out the books.

There was a gentle voice chanting the Buddha's name:

"Amitabha!"

The shopkeeper looked up and saw a monk with the characteristics of people from the Western Regions, wearing a robe that is convenient for traveling, calm and restrained.

"Master, do you want to stay in the shop, or be the top?"

The shopkeeper's smile was all over his face.

He ran this high-class inn in Xiangzhou for most of his life, and saw monks only a handful of times. In the Central Plains, Buddhist monks are "rare things."

The young monk clasped his hands together, and his tone was as gentle as a spring breeze:

"The poor monk would like to ask if there has been a man and a woman living in the store recently. The man is wearing green clothes, and the woman is plain-looking, riding a war horse."

The monk's words seemed to have convincing power, and a strange feeling arose in the shopkeeper's heart, as if the monk opposite was a majestic father.

"There is such a pair of guests."

The shopkeeper told the truth: "If you say it is a pair of ordinary-looking men and women, I have no impression, but if you want to talk about war horses, then you know who the master is talking about. But unfortunately, the guest officer just checked out and left .”
