Chai Xian did not answer immediately. After a moment of thinking, he said, â
âMy parents died when I was young. I had no one to rely on and begged in Xiang Zhou for a living. Later on, foster father adopted me. He treated me extremely well, even more so than his own son. Thus, my three brothers all hate me, they loathe me. â
only Xiao LAN treated me sincerely and never looked down on me because of my past âŠ
At this point, Chai Xian was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to many years ago, in the hot summer, when the dirty and smelly little beggar was brought back to the chai Manor. The girl hiding behind the screen poked her head out and looked at him quietly. Their eyes met, and he lowered his head in inferiority.
The young girl smiled brightly.
Xu Qi âan was dazed for a moment as he listened to Chai Xianâs story. He thought of Wei Yuan.
Back then, Empress Shangguan was like a bright ray of light that shone into Wei Yuanâs bitter youth.
âThat day, after dinner, a servant in the residence said that foster father wanted to see me. I know itâs because of Xiao LAN. Before this, we had several disputes because of Xiao Lanâs marriage.
âI loved Xiao LAN and wanted my foster father to marry her to me. However, my foster father felt that I was a member of the chai Manor and was destined to serve the chai Manor. Xiao Lanâs marriage to me will only add flowers to a brocade, and a marriage alliance with the Huangfu clan is more in line with the clanâs interests.â
âThatâs not wrong,â the orange cat an chuckled.
Chai Xianâs eyes dimmed as he continued,
after I sent the servants away, I went to see my foster father. Halfway through. I noticed the sounds of fighting in my foster fatherâs room, so I hurried over âŠ
âI was one step too late. When I arrived, my foster father had already been killed in the room, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. I was mournful and angry. At this time, my aunt arrived with the clansmen.
âShe and her clansmen didnât say anything and accused me of killing my foster father. They also wanted to clean up the house. I tried to explain, but they were indifferent. Helplessly, I could only summon the iron corpse and kill my way out of Chai Manor.
âAlthough I didnât kill my foster father, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of many Chai family disciples that night. After escaping from Xiang Zhou city, I hid here to recuperate. That family received my grace and was willing to believe me all along. They didnât believe that I was the murderer because of the rumors outside.â
âDid you kidnap Xiao LAN?â an interrupted.
Chai Xian shook his head. after the incident, I was worried about Xiao LAN. I sneaked back to the chai residence but didnât find her. After interrogating the servants in the chai residence, I found out that she had disappeared on the night of my foster fatherâs death. I suspect that sheâs in grave danger.â
The orange cat anâs heart moved, âyou sneaked into the basement to find Xiao LAN?â
Chai Xian nodded his head, his eyes filled with joy.âl didnât find her.â
âIn Zhangzhou, who is the murderer who committed murder and refined corpses?â an asked again.
âI donât know.â
Chai Xianâs face was livid, and his tone and expression were filled with hatred.
âSomeone pretended to be me and went around killing people, creating murder cases. This is to force me into a desperate situation, and I canât turn things around. At first, they killed some Jianghu people, then some small gangs, and now they didnât even let commoners go. âThis demon-slaying meet is the result they want.â
âWhy donât you run?â an asked.
why should I escape? â Chai Xian asked. my foster father died without knowing why, Xiao Lanâs whereabouts are unknown, and the murderer who framed me hasnât been found. Heâs doing evil everywhere. Why should I escape? â
Brother, youâre. little extreme ⊠Xu Qi âan suddenly thought that if the murderer knew Chai Xianâs personality like the back of his hand, then the purpose of all this was to force him to stay.
Good use of schemes and open schemes!
Chai Xian suddenly sighed. all this time, Iâve been constantly out looking for the real murderer behind the scenes. Iâve been looking for places where murder cases often occur. However, Iâve only caught some Rascals who used my name to Rob houses or refine corpses.
âYou must have a suspect in mind,â an said.
âI suspect itâs my aunt whoâs trying to frame me,â Chai Xian said after some hesitation.
The orange catâs face showed a human-like expression, and he tsked, ââTell me.â
The orange cat was met with a short silence. Chai Xian sighed and said,
âWho else could it be besides my aunt? His eldest brother had died, and his second and third brothers were mud that couldnât be helped. If foster father is dead, the only ones who can threaten her are Xiao LAN and me. This incident was killing three birds with one stone, wasnât it?
âBefore tonight, although I suspected her, I didnât have any confidence or evidence. But tonight, I sneaked into the chai residence and personally heard her making out with a wild man in bed in her courtyard.
aunt has changed. In the past, she would not have been so lewd. Desire has made her ugly.
Ah, this! You probably know that wild man. Heâs Li lingsu from Daming Lake back then ⊠The orange cat an complained in his heart.
Other than the fact that he was a âwild manâ, Chai Xianâs judgment was basically the same as his.
There was a basic point of view in criminal investigation-in a criminal case, whoever benefited from it was the suspect.
In the case of the chai Manor, Chai Xing âer was the only one who had benefited from it, so she had the motive. Of course, this wasnât absolute, so she was the
âsuspect.â
However, according to the follow-up development of the case, âChai Xianâ had committed multiple murders in Xiang Zhou and even other places in Zhangzhou. This was not the usual behavior of a criminal.
Xu Qi âan had been confused about this before. Now that he had seen Chai Xian, he wondered if Xiao Lanâs disappearance and the framing of the murder case were all to keep Chai Xian..
