I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 341 Qiansi is hidden in Qiansi Mansion
The moon was hanging on the branches. In the luxurious guest room of Qiansi Mansion, Cao An declined the two maids arranged by Deacon Qian.

A man stood alone in front of the window, looking at the peaceful house in front of him in trance.

There are too many clues here, and Cao An has no time to think about other things.

For example, the silence in front of me right now is very strange.

"It's too quiet. There aren't even any bugs? Are you kidding me?" Cao An felt something was wrong.

Whether in Daxing or Dongzhou, creatures like insects are never absent.

In terms of good defense, you can defend yourself against humans and monsters, but it is absolutely impossible to defend against those little bugs.

But Cao An activated [Six Senses] at this moment, but he couldn't even hear the low cry of a night insect. Something was definitely wrong.

"Akong, go outside and take a look. Remember, hide yourself." Cao An took out his ghost book and summoned a dozen ghost generals inside.

Although they have no lethality, they are good spies. They fly out from the gaps and quickly merge into the night sky.

……

Something is obviously wrong with suddenly picking flowers in the middle of the night.

After completing the work conscientiously, he took the three large bamboo baskets of golden flowers to clean water, rinsed them clean, and finally placed them in a corner of the garden. The work was considered completed.

"Picking flowers in the middle of the night?" Cao An frowned.

In the dark corner, there seemed to be a dark shadow, falling next to the bamboo basket, dragging it into the darkness little by little.

"Yes!"

"You continue to stare, don't alert others, and I will go over if you find their purpose."

Seeing a group of handymen busy in the tree garden, the guards didn't pay much attention. They seemed to be used to it.

In the middle of the night, guards on night patrol came and went in Qiansi Mansion.

If you look closely, this black shadow turns out to be...

I heard that there were foreign guests staying, but I don’t know who it was that made Qiansi Mansion so nervous.

Not long after, a rustling sound sounded.

The handymen climbed up the tree as usual, picked off the golden petals and threw them into the basket. The only difference was that tonight's action must be as small as possible.

After all, the acacia tree is not a spiritual plant. Apart from the fact that its flowers are completely golden and very beautiful as a decoration for the house, it is at most used as an ordinary medicinal material.

On the way here, he also saw the Qiansi Mansion full of acacia trees, but he did not become suspicious at that time.

Unexpectedly, they actually made a major discovery.

Of course, regarding the core secrets, Cao An never expected to find out. After all, this is the base camp of [Qiansi Mansion]. Important areas are restricted and A Kong and the others cannot enter at all.

The handymen left one after another, and the tranquility after nightfall came again.

But it's okay to hang around for a while and be wary of the three deacons' dirty tricks.

"There are more than a dozen handymen in the house, picking flowers from the acacia tree."

"Spider? Are you sure it's a spider?" Cao An asked in confusion in the guest room.

A Kong and other little ghosts nodded with certainty: "They are definitely spiders. They are small but there are many of them. We can see them clearly."

The biggest advantage of ghost detectives is that they are freed from the limitations of the physical body. If you give them a gap, they can easily pass through it.

At this moment, Kong found a flaw and followed it to the destination. He saw with his own eyes the acacia flower being dragged away by a group of little spiders.

"No wonder there are no night bugs in this place. It turns out that there are a group of spiders living under the ground! How did these people sleep so well!" There is no doubt that Qiansi Mansion knows about the existence of spiders. Those acacia flowers, I'm afraid it's food for spiders.

For that kind of multi-legged creature, a small number is acceptable, but if the underground is densely filled with spider holes, Cao An is afraid that he will have a nightmare.

"No matter, just go and have a look." Under the watchful eye of a group of spies, Cao An came to the next room to find Pan Daxi.

The next second, two figures suddenly rushed out of the window and shuttled through the narrow alleys under the eaves at extremely fast speeds. The spies were so frightened that they shouted to catch up.

In an instant, the entire Qiansi Mansion was in a state of panic, the candles were quickly lit, and those who didn't know thought it was an enemy attack.

Cao An doesn't care about this. If you ask me to investigate the case, I will naturally investigate the problem if I find it.

"It's just this hole, are you sure you want to get in?" Pan Daxi scratched his head, feeling a little unreliable.

Although the two followed Akong's directions and came to the place where the bamboo basket disappeared, it seemed that this was a passage for spiders to feed. Wasn't it a bit embarrassing for them to get in like this?

"Don't worry, just come here and someone will take us in." Cao An said, turning to look at the fat man who was running quickly.

Cao An shook his head amusedly: "Deacon Qian, please slow down, don't fall."

"Oh, I said I couldn't hide it from you, Judge Cao, so why do you have to make it so complicated? Look, it's so late at night." Deacon Qian came over with a body full of fat and complained in his mouth.

His complaints were naturally directed at the other two deacons behind him. As for the father and son of the Sima family, they naturally followed him.

Cao An turned his gaze to Sima Shu, who had a wry smile on his face. The man also shrugged helplessly.

"Sorry! Brother Cao, it's not that I don't believe you, but this place involves our secrets, so it's not convenient to bring you here directly."

It's not convenient to bring it directly, but this person's meaning is easy to understand.

Qiansi Mansion has its own secrets. If there had not been a huge internal crisis this time, they would not have asked Cao An to help.

After all, looking at the entire Dongzhou, there are only a dozen people who know about this secret. If Cao An came to handle the case and found no clues, he would naturally keep it a secret.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t hide it on the first night.

"So, what now?"

"Let's go in and take a look now. This will clarify the situation for investigation." Behind him, the elder Deacon Sun spoke.

This time I invited Cao An over, firstly because of his ability to solve crimes, and secondly because of his neutral identity.

Although the issue of inviting foreign aid was quite controversial in the initial discussion, at least Sima Yuan agreed to abdicate after finding out the truth.

In this case, let's make a quick decision.

The master of the palace and the three deacons each took out a jade pendant and activated some kind of bloodline secret method. The jade pendant instantly lit up with a faint light.

Dim light shone on one side of the garden, and a hidden secret door was opened.

Come to think of it, this is the meaning of the so-called four major families jointly managing [Qiansi Mansion].

So how many secrets will be hidden under the ground?
Cao An was looking forward to it and followed a few people into the underground. The moment he saw it, he was deeply shocked.

The ten-foot-high underground cave is full of dense spider silk, like a coiled silk hole hollowing out the underground of Qiansi Mansion.

What shocked him even more was the fact that there were countless little spiders traveling on these spider threads.

The little spiders were stepping on the detailed webs, dragging bamboo tubes on their claws. Looking at the marks on them, weren't they the intelligence letters from Qiansi Mansion?

This [Qiansi Mansion] actually relies on spiders to sort information?
So its real name should be [Qiansi Mansion].
