Chapter 340 He is not the murderer
"That courtyard should be where the old man and old lady of the Jian family live. Could it be that their parents are old man and old lady Jian?" Zhan Beiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
But they met the old lady's six children at the dinner.
Jiang Yunxi's mind raced, "As for whose children they are, perhaps I'll have to ask the old lady or the old man to find out."
"It's too late tonight. I guess they are all busy looking for the murderer. Why don't we ask them tomorrow morning?" Zhan Beiyuan suggested.
"I think so too." Jiang Yunxi didn't plan to ask tonight.
She wanted to see if anyone could find the murderer tonight.
Seeing that Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan did not follow them in, the six infant spirits quickly returned the same way. They had just been freed and did not want to be caught again.
Jiang Yunxi didn't stay any longer and quickly returned with the six infant spirits.
That night, the lights in the Jian family's house were on all night long. People were coming and going outside from time to time, and there was some noise.
The largest main courtyard of the Jian family.
"Father, my eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, and fifth sister were all killed by having their hearts dug out. Father, you must get better soon." Jian Lao San sat down beside the bed and held the old man's hand.
Usually, the eldest and second brothers are in charge, and he is responsible for arranging the distribution of medicines. Now that the eldest and second brothers are gone, he really doesn't know what to do for a moment.
The old man on the bed lay without opening his eyes.
"Third brother, father is in a coma and mother is heartbroken. What should we do now?" Jian Siying's face was full of worry. She felt that what happened tonight was too weird.
The people in the Jian family suspected that it was a guest, and she was a little suspicious of the people in the Jian family.
She even wondered if it would be her third brother, because her eldest, second, and fourth brothers had died, and he would be the only one in the Jian family from now on. After all, she and her fifth sister were married.
But why did he kill the fifth sister?
Then I think it’s not the third brother. The third brother has a gentle personality and doesn’t have many aspirations. He usually concentrates on doing his own thing.
If the murderer was a guest, why would they kill my brother and the others in such a high-profile manner?
"Leizhou Island has been surrounded. The murderer must still be on the island. If we investigate one by one, plus the reward my mother gave us, someone will help us find the murderer." Jian Lao San said seriously.
"I hope so. In this situation, do we still need to start the furnace tomorrow?" Jian Siying asked with a frown.
Jian Lao San stood up and shook his head. "My eldest and second brothers are both dead. Without them, who will hold the fort? We have to wait for father to wake up."
Jian Siying asked doubtfully, "What is my father's illness? Why haven't so many great doctors treated him to any success?"
"Father, he might not be able to make it..."
"How could that be? Didn't the doctor say that if you take good care of yourself, you'll get better?"
The third elder of the Jian family sighed and said, "The Jian family finally found the elixir of immortality. We can't let anyone know that my father is seriously ill. We can only take good care of him and tell everyone after the elixir of immortality is sold."
Jian Siying looked at the pale old man on the bed, her eyes reddened. Although the Jian family lived on the remote Leizhou Island, they were thriving and prosperous.
Now that he had refined the elixir of immortality, it would surely astonish the world, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.
My father is dying.
My eldest brother and his friends had their hearts dug out at home.
Everything seemed to tell them that the Jane family was beginning to fall into decline.
No, the Jian family has always been prosperous, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
…
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi met the Jian family's housekeeper Zhao. During breakfast, she asked Qinghong and Qinglv about the old man of the Jian family and found out that he was very ill. She took the initiative to say that she could cure him.
Qinghong took her to see Butler Zhao.
"Can you really cure diseases?" Butler Zhao had a look of disbelief on his face. So many miracle doctors had tried but none of them could cure her. How could a young girl like her do it?
"The Jian family has hired so many doctors, they shouldn't mind having another doctor like me. What if I can cure him?" Jiang Yunxi wanted to know what disease the other party had.
Housekeeper Zhao thought about it and felt that what she said was right, so he decided to take her to the old man's yard. When they arrived, there were two servants guarding there.
"Miss Jiang, I hope you can cure the old man." Butler Zhao hoped that she could cure him. He was the old man's confidant and just wanted the old man to get better.
Jiang Yunxi walked forward and took Mr. Jian's hand to feel his pulse. She frowned, then quickly let go. "Look carefully under his bed. You should be able to find the little man who was pricked by the needle."
Mr. Jian was not sick, but was cursed.
Butler Zhao took two servants and searched quickly. After a while, they really found a little cloth man in the bed. The old man's birth date was pasted on the chest, and a talisman was pasted on the back.
"Miss Jiang, this, this is..."
"Pull out the needle on it. If the little guy has a fever, your old man will wake up immediately." Jiang Yunxi said lightly, his eyes cold and deep.
I didn't expect that someone used witchcraft to harm Mr. Jian.
Now she is very sure that the murderer who dug out the heart of the Jian family is from the Jian family.
Butler Zhao didn't dare to delay and immediately took people to do it. After the little man was burned, the old man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and then quickly sat up.
Old Master Jian was a little confused, but he soon came to his senses. He knew that he was sick, but this time his illness was a little abnormal.
But now that he had woken up, he felt relaxed all over, without any feeling of tiredness or discomfort.
"Grandpa, you're finally awake. You were in a coma for three days and scared us." Butler Zhao's eyes were filled with tears of excitement when he saw him sitting up.
"Has anything happened in the past three days? Has the elixir of immortality started to be sold?" Old Master Jian lifted the quilt and got out of bed. At this moment, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Housekeeper Zhao didn't dare to hide it and quickly reported: "Something bad happened in the Jian family. The eldest master, the second master, the fourth master, and the fifth aunt were all killed last night by someone digging out their hearts."
"What did you say!" Old Master Jian's eyes widened, and he felt a sharp pain in his head and a piercing pain in his chest.
"Grandpa, you just woke up, don't be too excited, you..." Before Butler Zhao finished speaking, Grandpa Jian quickly ran outside.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Mr. Jian's back as he left, a thoughtful look on his face, and then he and Zhan Beiyuan chased after him.
The front yard of the Jian family's house, the reception room.
"You said you found the murderer?" The old lady looked at the two men in front of her with sharp eyes. They'd better tell the truth and not lie to her.
"Yes, he is the murderer." A thin man pointed at a person tied with ropes next to him and said.
Everyone present looked over. Was this the murderer who dug out the heart?
"No, I was wronged. I did walk that road, but I really didn't kill anyone." The middle-aged man in his thirties retorted loudly and angrily.
This morning, he was arrested for no apparent reason.
It is ridiculous to say that he dug out the hearts of the Jian family's masters and their followers. He has no grudges against the Jian family, so why would he harm others?
"He is not the murderer!" An old and majestic voice sounded at the door.
"Father..." When Jian Laosan and Jian Siying saw them coming, both of them were surprised. Didn't they say that their father was dying? Now he looked very good.
Old Master Jian strode into the house.
