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

Chapter 363: Night fishing seeking death

The stars and the moon are hanging high, and the phoenix birds are singing.

At night, the Immortal Alliance sheds its majestic coat, becoming peaceful and leisurely, blending into the sky full of stars.

But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

On the side peak, Taoist Cangyan was bending down respectfully, reporting the situation to his master.

"Master Wise Master, Cao An is definitely a disaster! Are you really not going to stop him?" Cang Yan, as an elder of the Immortal Alliance, is so humble in front of this man.

Not only because of the opponent's status as Supreme Elder, but also because this person is the second seat of [Ten Eyes] and the driving force behind all conspiracies: the wise master.

Wearing a black and white Taoist robe, his face looks very old, but his sinister eyes can still feel his unfathomable plot.

Cao An's existence caused [Ten Eyes] to suffer an unprecedented impact.

There were once seven seats, but now there are only three seats left. [Ten Eyes] is internally uneasy, and the plan that has been planned for thousands of years may be defeated by Cao An alone.

Meng Qingfeng was very happy. On the one hand, it was the revenge of killing his father, and on the other hand, it was the rebellion of spies. He naturally hoped to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Simply, the Meng family father and son didn't want to sleep tonight, so they accompanied Cao An to restore the truth bit by bit.

……

Unexpectedly, Cao An just glanced at the body twice and already deduced the wrong time of death.

It's just that he said he wanted to investigate after he was gone, so what does that mean?
"I want to simulate the scene when the murder occurred. Naturally, I don't want to alarm too many people. Everything can be done as usual."

It seems that the simple autopsy just now revealed clues that go far beyond the misalignment of the time of death!
Cao An even found the key point of the killing method.

Cao An's words made everyone suddenly realize.

According to Taoist Cang Yan's idea, all forces should be gathered to assassinate Cao An. At least there is hope.

Still in control?
Taoist Cangyan lowered his head and sighed. He was now riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.

This erratic behavior makes people confused.

At that time, he also felt that Cao An was just exaggerating and had no ability at all.

With such ability, why did he make a wrong judgment outside the secret realm of [Sanghuai]?
Could it be that Cao An did it on purpose at that time, deliberately leading himself to attack a second time so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop?
Thinking of this, Taoist Cang Yan's face turned even paler. He had suffered a disaster, and this wise master couldn't even think of running away! Are you so indifferent?

……

"Master Wise, what should we do next? Cao An is likely to find out the truth!"

Last time outside the secret realm of [Sanghuai], his senior brother Chiyin Taoist accused the Immortal Alliance of harming his fellow disciples.

But the wise teacher in front of him was uncharacteristically calm: "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

I heard that Cao An has stopped the investigation and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to sleep? I hope he doesn't find any clues tomorrow.

"Don't worry, just let him investigate. I have already arranged this matter. Cao An can't make much waves."

Cao An dismissed the people accompanying him, and before going back to his room to rest, he proposed to continue the investigation.

After receiving the assurance from the wise master, Taoist Cangyan finally felt a little more at ease.

"Tomorrow? No, the moonlight is just right tonight, so of course I'll continue checking."

Everyone came to the house where Mr. Meng lived. As the biological father of Mr. Meng, he was not of a high level, and most of the decorations in the room were inseparable from worldly luxury.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, fishing rods, fragrant tea... there are also many elixirs and supplements that can prolong life, but those secret weapons and weapons are very few.

After walking around, Cao An looked at the tea cabinet. There was obviously a teapot missing.

"Have you found your father's teapot?"

"Teapot?" Meng Qingfeng was a little surprised. Is this a clue to the case? No one seems to have paid attention to this detail!

Meng Qingfeng looked at his son beside him, while Meng Ningjian shook his head firmly: "I have carefully checked the murder scene, and there are no items left by grandpa."

"Well, for the record, the teapot is missing. If it can be found, it should have been taken away by the murderer."

Cao An observed the environment casually, recording every detail in detail as a target for subsequent investigation.

Not long after, a miscellaneous servant was brought up, who was the one who usually served Mr. Meng.

Seeing the head interrogation, the servant fell to his knees in trembling fear, wishing he could give himself a few slaps.

If he had known that such a big thing would happen that night, he would have stopped sleeping!

Now the master died in a strange way. As the last person to be seen, he was very suspicious. Just look at the injuries on his body and he was often questioned roughly.

When I was brought here this time, I didn’t know how I would be forced to confess.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking a few questions." Cao An asked in a calm tone: "That night, when you last saw Master Meng, was he like me?"

The servant heard this and raised his head.

I saw Cao An strolling to the kettle, picking up the hot water, and carefully pouring it into a teapot.

The movements were slow and slow, and there were no clues.

But the servant's eyes were full of excitement: "Yes, yes! That's it. The master was making tea at that time! I also asked the master: It's late at night, why are you still drinking tea?"

"He told you to leave it alone, right?"

"Yes! Everything you said is right! Detective Cao, you are truly an immortal!" The servant kowtowed several times in admiration.

I haven't seen their investigation records, but the confessions that came out of the interrogation at this moment are far more detailed than theirs.

Cao An was able to reenact the action, including the actions and dialogues, and the Meng family father and son who were watching on the side were astonished.

"Is this the legendary magic of "one eye for ten thousand years"? "

Cao An:......

"You are overthinking it. If I really have that kind of ability, why would I use it here to investigate the case?"

"Then you..."

"Reasoning! Isn't this an obvious thing? Only a fool can't see it."

Everyone:...

The key point of this murder case is how the father of the head of Meng disappeared from the house and then appeared in the guest room with his arms around his future grandson-in-law.

You know, the room where Mr. Meng lives is very luxurious, with strict restrictions on the doors and windows.

It is impossible to break into a house and rob someone without alerting outsiders at all.

The only way is to let Mr. Meng go out on his own initiative, which is consistent with the last words Cao An heard.

"Your Majesty stayed up most of the night and made a pot of tea to prepare for night fishing."

"My father wanted to go fishing at night? And he deliberately hid it from his servants? Why?" No one could understand the situation at all.

Cao An shrugged: "There are many things you don't understand. I've heard of a kind of "longevity trout" that only appears at night when the stars are shining. Anyone who catches it alone can live for a hundred years. "

"Really? Is there such a magical fish?"

"Of course it's false. I made it up. In the same way, someone also made up a story about Mr. Meng."
