Chapter 53: Murder and Silence


The next day, Qi Lu and the three of them would go to Chen Junxian's luxurious private club.

In the car, Qi Lu kept peeking at Ding Xiaolan, who was sitting behind and chatting with WeChat on his mobile phone, for fear that she would still be angry in her heart.

In the end, his move was discovered by Ding Xiaolan, so she put down her mobile phone and glared at Qi Lu angrily, saying, "Is it the first time I have seen Miss Ben, what are your nerves?"

Qi Lu smiled awkwardly, thinking that a girl's mind is really difficult to fathom, just like the weather in June will change, and she will turn her face at any time.

However, seeing that Ding Xiaolan was not angry and did not come to participate in the group activities because of the quarrel with his wife, Qi Lu's heart was also slightly relieved.

The three of them came to the private club, and the security guard at the door quickly greeted them with a smile and took them to the patriarch's office.

Seeing the door, Qi Lu found that Chen Junxian was walking around anxiously inside, and there were several fox clan elders sitting next to him, all with a lifeless look on their faces, Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that it couldn't be that the Semitic clan had another accident Facts have proved that Qi Lu's sixth sense is accurate, and after Chen Junxian invited the three of them to take a seat, he hurriedly said: "Mr.

Qi, we are in trouble again, the murderer came out again last night to commit the crime and killed one of my subordinates. ” "What, has another elder been killed" Qi Lu was taken aback, he didn't expect this murderer to be so arrogant.

"Not really, but the last person this deceased saw was you."

"I am the last person to meet the deceased, how is this possible" Qi Lu didn't care, but he was puzzled, but Lao Wu had a different idea, he noticed that Chen Junxian's words were mixed with a trace of hostility, so he said coldly on the side: "Patriarch Chen, you mean to say that we are the murderers."

"Mr.

Wu, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Chen Junxian explained with a smile on his face.

"Then what do you mean, say something like that as soon as you come in" "I think since this deceased is acquainted with you, maybe when you met yesterday, he revealed some clues related to the case to you, and I hope that Mr.

Wu can tell me, and we can discuss the case together."

"Hmph, we only met you yesterday, is the patriarch standing in front of us now a ghost" Lao Wu suddenly became angry and then sneered.

Chen Junxian couldn't hold it on his face, and he replied coldly: "Thanks to Mr.

Wu, my old bones are still very hard, and I won't be able to die for a while." ” "Old Wu, don't worry, let's listen to Patriarch Chen tell us what happened before we discuss it."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Qi Lu hurriedly diverted the topic and pulled Lao Wu aside.

Chen Junxian didn't care anymore, he raised his hand and said to Qi Lu: "Everyone, please come with me." ” Qi Lu and the others and several fox clan elders followed Chen Junxian into an inconspicuous hut behind the private club, and found a stone bed made of marble inside, on which lay the corpse of a fox with white fur, which was already skinny.

Qi Lu was slightly stunned and asked Chen Junxian: "Who is he?"

Chen Junxian took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to him, Qi Lu took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's Him" "Who" Ding Xiaolan stretched out her head with a big grin, and her face turned pale, because the man in the photo was the young fox demon who told her yesterday that there were monsters in the village near her door.

Lao Wu realized at this time that he was wrong to blame Chen Junxian, so he had to ask with a little embarrassment: "Patriarch Chen, how did he die?"

Chen Junxian didn't think it was wrong, "After he said goodbye to his husband yesterday, he went back to the club to report to me what happened, and then went home to rest."

At that time, I saw that he was meeting with his husband and did not take it to heart, and it was not until the evening that I realized the strangeness of it, so I quickly called him to inform him to come to the clubhouse, and wanted to ask him in detail about some details of what he had experienced during the day. ” Qi Lu asked, "What happened later?"

"I called several times and he didn't reply, which made me sense that something was wrong, and I quickly arranged for one of my men to go to his house, only to find out that he had been killed in his house."

"When did he die?"

"The forensic doctor of this tribe has already dissected the body, and the time of death was about nine o'clock last night."

Qi Lu hesitated for a while, did not answer, and showed a surprised and hesitant look on his face.

Chen Junxian asked: "When he met Mr.

Qi during the day, did he say anything unusual?"

"No, I didn't say anything other than to warn us that we had found a youkai of unknown origin in the village."

Originally, Chen Junxian invited them to investigate the case, but now it has become him to interrogate himself, Qi Lu couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Patriarch, how did you notice the abnormal situation when the deceased reported to you at work?"

"It was because I later thought that he had discovered a youkai of unknown origin that made me feel worried."

"Oh, yes, patriarch, you might as well tell me about your concerns."

"It is because of the existence of the Semitic tribe that this city can always maintain peace between the shemales" Qi Lu smiled and said: "This is true, but I don't understand what the connection is between this and that monster of unknown origin."

"All new youkai, whether they are passing by or want to settle in the city, will abide by the rules set by the Semitic tribe and come to inform us of the fox clan in advance.

One is to take care of each other, and the other is to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, resulting in being expelled by the fox clan. ” "Anyway, the monster that the deceased saw came to this city secretly, and he didn't inform the fox clan in advance."

"Exactly."

Chen Junxian frowned and said: "There are no more than two reasons for this situation, one is that he has high mana, so he doesn't take our fox clan seriously; The second is that he is on a secret mission, so it is inconvenient to show his head. ” "Whatever the reason, he's ill-intentioned, so you've got to find this monster."

"It's a pity that by the time I figured it out, this subordinate was already dead, and the clue was broken."

Qi Lu snorted coldly and said, "If you want to say that the clue is broken, I don't think it may be." ” Chen Junxian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Mr. has found any clues?"

"I can't say it's a clue, it's just a speculation of mine."

Qi Lu saw that everyone was puzzled in their eyes, so he smiled and said, "May I ask Patriarch Chen, did the deceased have a grudge against anyone before his death?"

"Nope."

It was a middle-aged man standing next to Chen Junxian who spoke.

Chen Junxian hurriedly introduced to Qi Lu and the others: "This is Elder Hu, and the deceased is his subordinate. ” Qi Lu said, "Can Elder Hu tell me a little more detail?"

"The deceased's name is Hu XVII, and he is in charge of monitoring the foreign monsters living in the city.

He was taciturn, and because he was busy with work and rarely interacted with others, there were only a handful of people in his clan who knew him.

Based on this, I think it is difficult for Hu XVII to have a grudge with others. ” Qi Lu asked again: "Has Elder Hu thought about it, maybe he has a grudge with someone because of his work?"

"That's unlikely."

Elder Hu said, "The nature of his job is to stalk others, not to show his face.

If he is caught in the middle of his watching, I will immediately suspend his mission and arrange for a new face to replace him, how can this feud be formed?"

"Elder Hu is reasonable, and he agrees with my opinion."

Qi Luqian smiled and said, "Then there is only one possibility left, he died at the hands of the unknown monster he followed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, Ding Xiaolan pouted and said: "Are you guessing, if that monster finds out that he is being targeted and has murderous intentions, he can be killed during the day, so why wait until the night to do it" "He didn't want to kill Hu Qiqi on the spot, but it's a pity that we showed up at that time."

"Yes, there are four of us, of course he doesn't dare to act rashly" Ding Xiaolan frowned slightly, and raised a new question: "But after Hu Seventeen left us, why didn't the murderer do it, but let him go back to Elder Chen."

"Don't forget, after Hu Qiqi left us, he drove directly back to the clubhouse.

There are pedestrians along the way in broad daylight, and the murderer is a monster after all, and he will not be stupid enough to expose his whereabouts and cause there to be eyewitnesses at the scene of the crime. ” "Yes, only when Hu Qiqi returns home, it will be the best time for the murderer to commit the crime."

Ding Xiaolan nodded frequently, and she finally understood.

"Mr.

Qi is really a master of detection, and his analysis of the case is logical and rigorous, which makes the old man admire."

Chen Junxian also nodded and smiled beside him.

"This is nothing more than inference, and there is no evidence to confirm my judgment at this time."

Qi Lu put the thin rubber gloves on his hands and said, "Let's take a look at the corpse first, hoping to find some clues." ” Chen Junxian nodded in agreement, and everyone present put on gloves to check on the body.

Pay attention to every detail, and find the hidden traces of the murderer, this is what makes Qi Lu different from ordinary people, but today's situation disappointed him, and he and Lao Wu didn't find any valuable clues after looking at it for a long time.

He had no choice but to turn his head and ask Chen Junxian: "Elder Chen, what is the cause of Hu Seventeen's death?"

"Mr.

Qi, look" Chen Junxian turned over Hu Qiqi's corpse, and Qi Lu suddenly saw that the abdomen of the fox corpse had been cut open with a sharp blade.

Ding Xiaolan asked: "This is the knife edge of your forensic dissection" "Yes."

Chen Junxian said: "You might as well reach out and touch the stomach of the corpse, and you will know the cause of death." ” Qi Lu was slightly stunned, but he still followed Patriarch Chen's advice, and forced his hand into the corpse's stomach with nausea.

After a moment, he reached out, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Xiao Qi, what have you found?"

asked Lao Wu.

"Hu Seventeen's internal organs were all shattered."

"Ah" Lao Wu was shocked, and he was busy with Qi Lu and put his hand into the corpse's stomach and groped up and down.

"It's really strange, it's strange" Lao Wu finally locked his eyebrows like Qi Lu.

"What's so strange about it, it means that the deceased was crushed with a palm of his internal strength, and thus died in agony."

Ding Xiaolan was also checking the body, although Hu Qiqi had revealed his original form as a fox, his face still maintained the terrifying expression on his face.

"This is the strange place" Qi Lu suddenly turned upright, and said meaningfully: "Have you ever seen such an awesome martial arts master, and he can actually kill a fox demon who has been cultivating for nearly a thousand years with one palm?"

"I" Ding Xiaolan was speechless, she didn't have the meticulous mind of Qi Lu.

"What's even stranger is that the murderer is obviously a monster, and he actually didn't use spells to deal with Hu Qiqi, but used human martial arts to kill him" Qi Lu cast his eyes on everyone present, with a solemn expression on his face that he had never seen before.

"Do you know why he did it?"

"There is only one explanation."

Lao Wu said the answer: "Taking people's lives with the strength of his palms alone shows that Hu Qiqi has no ability to fight back in front of him."

He's deliberately demonstrating to us, showing off his ability to kill everything. ” Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "Is there such a powerful monster in the world?"

"A long time ago, there were such monsters, but now they should be dead."

Qi Lu took off the thin rubber gloves that were stained with stains, but his heart suddenly tightened.

"If it is true as Mr. said, then the catastrophe of the Semitic tribe is coming" Thinking of the elders who had died earlier, Chen Junxian suddenly felt an indescribable sense of fear in his heart. i0 t1706231537:
