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

Chapter 55 Crisis is coming
  boom!
  There was a collapse sound, and the good news came from inside the house that the secret door was found.

Everyone hurriedly ran to check, and a hidden passage appeared behind the back wall of the room.

From the outside, the rooms in the courtyard are connected back to back, with only the outer side equipped with doors and windows, and the owner of the house designed a passage in this close slit.

"Part of the wall is camouflaged and covered with southern Chu earth colored glass. From the passage, you can clearly see the situation in the room. The view is excellent. The entrance leads to the president's study."

Das's legs became weak on the spot.

He also didn't expect that this perfect disguise would actually encounter a group of people who directly smashed the wall. Didn't they promise that the officials would protect the crime scene? Why is this happening!
  "Actually, I also made a guess, but I guessed it was a hole for peeping or something like that. Unfortunately, I never found it, so I had to smash it. I didn't expect you to be so generous. This Nanchu earth colored glaze is better than the simple ones I saw back then. It’s much more powerful through glass.”

Cao An couldn't help but be amazed by the magical treasures in this world, and beside him, there was someone who was even more amazed.

“It’s well-deserved, and indeed it’s well-deserved.”

Ding Jie stood two meters away, his eyes full of shock: "I heard that Brother Cao would send his colleagues to prison when he was handling a case. I didn't expect that now I opened my eyes and sent the person who reported the case to prison. What a master! "

Cao An:......

His good reputation was ruined by rumors and lies.

"I'm not as scary as you think. Didn't I just say that Xiaojiu's appearance was an accident? She was the one who forced Das to use the knife. Naturally, she was the one who forced Das to report the crime."

Cao An gave Xiaojiu the credit for handling the case, which instantly attracted great attention to her.

The little girl was not afraid of the stage and took out the dagger from her arms again: "I just want to send him on his way."

Ding Jie scratched his head when he looked at this child: "Has she been stimulated in the past and kept talking nonsense?"

"No, what Xiaojiu said has always been the truth, it's just that we didn't understand." Cao An chuckled. Fortunately, he believed Ying Huorong's judgment and firmly ruled out that Xiaojiu was not the murderer. Otherwise, the case would have been solved. No more.

"First of all, we assume that Xiaojiu is telling the truth. She is just very simple. She knew that the two of them would die, so she followed."

Foreknowledge?

It is rumored that Si Tianjian's [Qi Watching Technique] has been cultivated to the pinnacle, and he can do it, which is what people often say that the Yingtang will turn black and there will be a disaster of blood and light.

"And the reason why Xiaojiu admits to killing is not that she actually did it, but that she watched the two people die without saving them. Among Buddhist managers, not saving them is regarded as murder."

Cao An was able to crack this case mainly because of two key clues that Ying Huorong asked: respect the fate of others and die early and be reborn.

So the situation in this case should be:
  Xiaojiu saw that someone was about to die, and the death was very difficult and painful, so he decided to come over to help others and die early.

In addition to the dagger wounds, there were also some strange injuries on the two deceased bodies.

The stabbing chest wound should have been caused by 35-year-old Zhao Qian. He had been plotting against 52-year-old Du Liang from the beginning and wanted to attack the old man from behind.

Unexpectedly, Du Liang was getting stronger. Before he died, he grabbed the incense burner and hit Zhao Qian hard on the head. This was the source of the first round of injuries to the two of them.

Later, Du Liang was stabbed through the heart and died, while Zhao Qian had his head smashed open by an incense burner. He was in a half-dead state. He fell to the ground in pain and wanted to ask for help from Das, another accomplice who was hiding in the secret passage.

But what a coincidence, Xiaojiu appeared.

The child was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see anyone suffering, so he opened the door and asked if he needed help.

This incident undoubtedly made Das confused, because he didn't know Zhao Qian's situation, let alone why Xiao Jiu appeared. If his accomplice is caught, he may also be confessed.

So he followed his plan and rushed out of the secret passage. He led the merchants to the scene of the crime while shouting, and each of them stabbed his companions with his own hands.

"So when he committed the murder, he did it in front of everyone?"

"Yes, all the businessmen present were panicked when facing the corpse. Das took advantage of the president's authority and told everyone to stay away, but he stabbed him twice with the dagger hidden in his sleeve to fake the wound. "

This plan must be said to be very vicious. It puts the suspicion of the murder on the girl Xiaojiu.

The businessmen around him applauded for solving the case so quickly.

This secret passage was obviously left by Das on purpose, either to seek wealth or death, or to eavesdrop on their information. Now that it was exposed by Cao An, they were naturally happy.

But just when Pan Daxi was about to take Das away and take his subordinates back for interrogation, Cao An stopped them.

"Don't worry, the case has just begun."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Cao An meant: "Isn't the case already closed?"

"Of course not. As I said, there are not two people who died today. I really want to know now, President Das, are you still a fool?"

Cao An's eyes were like lightning, and he gathered the power of thousands of waves and rushed over, trying to intimidate Das.

Unexpectedly, this Das was no ordinary person. The look of surprise in his eyes flashed, but he still resisted Cao An's intimidation.

Continuing to use his pouty tone, he pretended to be decadent and replied: "It was my own interests that led me to build this secret passage. Kill people to pay for their lives. You can kill or behead them as you please."

The tone of not fearing death put Cao An into trouble again.

Catching Das was just an appetizer in Cao An's opinion, not worth mentioning at all. The difficulty was that the system reminded him that there were four cases in total here.

Zhao Qian's killing of Du Liang was considered the first;
  Das killing Zhao Qian is the second one;
  What about the third item? There was no body even found in the secret passage. Cao An had reason to suspect that the murderer committed the murder elsewhere and then appeared at the venue in someone else's place.

It is not known whether Das has been replaced as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, there is another person hiding in the dark. He has no clue at the moment and is really hard to find.

Also, what exactly is Das’ purpose? Not to mention eavesdropping on business secrets, Nanchu Tuglai is a rare treasure, and it is absolutely impossible to be so extravagant.

The real difficulty of this case only begins now.

"Oh, we're in big trouble." Cao An rubbed his head, feeling a sense of suffocation in his heart.

"Cao An, don't be anxious! We're just solving the case. If we can't solve it today, we'll continue tomorrow. If we catch the mastermind, we can do the rest slowly. Don't put pressure on yourself."

Ying Huorong encouraged Cao An from the side. In her opinion, Cao An was already very powerful. Looking at the entire Shangjiang City, no detective could be as efficient as Cao An.

If you encounter a major case and don't investigate it for ten and a half days, you won't be able to find new clues. There is really no need for Cao An to put so much pressure on himself.

"It's not that I want to oppress myself, but my current situation is very dangerous, and I must find a way to survive."
