Jing Xin nodded, and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for telling me."

Late at night, Chaifu.

A shadow sneaked in the darkness, silently, the light of the torches of the patrolling guards distorted the reflection of the green belt, and for a moment, this sneaking shadow was illuminated.

But in the next moment, it disappeared without a sound, appeared in the darkness farther away, and continued towards the destination.

Not long after, he came to a secluded small courtyard.

I didn't enter right away, because there were many guards around the small courtyard, many of whom were warriors in the realm of refining gods.

But the black shadow didn't recede because of this, he went around in one direction and came to the back of the small courtyard.

In the room, the candles were brightly lit, and the strong smell of meat permeated the room. Three men sat around the table, eating antique soup, that is, hot pot.

Since Chai Xian invaded the cellar, Chai Mansion has strengthened its defense here.

Not only did additional manpower be sent outside, but also masters were "stationed" in the house day and night.

Xu Qi'an was outside the house separated by a wall, concentrating on sensing:

"The three of them are all warriors above the realm of refining the gods. The sneak attack will only make them sense my presence in advance, and thus attract the guards outside. If it was me before, I probably had to use force to get in, but now I have Not a rough warrior anymore."

Ten seconds later, under the foundation of the yard, in a hole in the ground, a sleeping mouse woke up and opened its blood-red eyes.

This is not an ordinary mouse, it is covered with poison, and the toxin is sprayed out with its breath, infecting all living things around it.

Inside!

"Why did Chai Xian come back?"

A burly man said.

"I heard from the clan elder that he was looking for Xiaolan. This lunatic thought that Xiaolan had been killed and hid in the cellar."

Another man shook his head: "Didn't Xiao Lan be taken away by him?"

Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of "Zhi Zhi". Following the sound, they saw a fat black rat standing in the shadow of the corner, with a pair of red eyes, silently staring at the three of them.

As warriors with a strong premonition of danger, the moment the three men saw the mouse, their intuition began to warn.

They instinctively grabbed the weapons leaning against the table and shouted loudly to notify the guards outside.

But the next moment, the three of them fell limply on the table and passed out.

A few seconds later, a shadow emerged from under the table. Xu Qi'an looked around and listened carefully, making sure that the guards outside the courtyard hadn't noticed any movement inside. He turned around and came to the entrance of the cellar, and opened the heavy stone cover.

Among the three people in the room, the poison has a strong paralyzing effect and will not endanger life. At most, it will recover after a few days of weakness.

As the stone cover was opened, a dark hole appeared, Xu Qi'an took out the prepared candle and lit it, holding the orange halo, and entered the cellar along the steps.

He walked briskly through rows of corpses, feeling that this was the safest and most comfortable place in the world.

But the investigation was the most important thing. He forcibly resisted the urge to talk and interact with the corpse, and went straight to the secret room deep in the cellar.

There is a custom in the Chai Mansion that after the death of the clan members, they are either cremated or donated to the family to make them into walking corpses.

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

Before the action, Xu Qi'an had already received information from Li Lingsu that Chai Jianyuan's body was turned into a walking corpse by Chai Xing'er and stored in the cellar.

Chai Xinger's argument is that the Chai family has undergone major changes and urgently needs strength to protect the safety of the family.

This reason won the unanimous approval of the Chai family.

But Xu Qi'an believed that there was a selfish "eye for an eye" in this.

Of course, Chai Xing'er's thoughts are not important, Xu Qi'an sneaked in this time because of the autopsy.

The corpse can give a lot of information, the appearance of the wound, the condition of the injury, etc. It can tell whether Xu Qi'an is an acquaintance who committed the crime.

Soon, he came to the secret room deep in the cellar.

The chamber door was locked.

Xu Qi'an put his palm on the lock cylinder, exerted a sudden force, and with a "bang", the lock cylinder was directly blown away, releasing a cloud of dust.

There are not many corpses in the secret room, there are four on each side, wearing hoods and all gray clothes of the same style.

From the slightly bulging chest, it can be seen that three of them are female corpses.

Xu Qi'an took off the hood of the corpse, and after identification, he recognized that the third corpse on the left was Chai Jianyuan.

Interestingly, the third corpse on the right was a male corpse with clear facial features. According to Li Lingsu's description, "he" was Chai Xinger's ex-husband.

"Tsk, looking at each other, Chai Xing'er really has resentment towards Chai Jianyuan."

Without delay, Xu Qi'an kicked down Chai Jianyuan's body, stripped off his gray clothes, and inspected the body with a candle.

There was a sutured wound on Chai Jianyuan's chest, but the scattered corpse spots destroyed the traces of other wounds.

Xu Qi'an moved the candle, and the orange halo moved down from his chest, and stopped between his legs. He wrapped his hands in gray clothes, and picked out the bird's eggs.

"Exclude attacks on the crotch!"

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

Moving further down, the halo of candles illuminated Chai Jianyuan's feet.

In the darkness, Xu Qi'an's pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes froze.

Chai Jianyuan's left foot has six toes.

ps: Sorry, the recent update has been weak. The number of words updated this month is 16 words, which is a new low since the serialization. I am trying to recover.

Chapter 50 Clues

Six-toed, Chai Xian? !

This was the first thought that flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and countless thoughts flashed through his shocked mind in an instant, unable to think calmly.

After a few seconds, he calmed down, took a deep breath, and carefully examined Chai Jianyuan.

The sixth toe was visibly misshapen, clinging to the little toe, ugly and unsightly.

He touched Chai Jianyuan's face to confirm that there was no disguise, and there were other ways to judge the age of a corpse besides the most intuitive appearance.

For example, skin quality, bones, teeth, etc., the difference between middle-aged people and young people is very big.
