All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Hearing Li Lingsu's words, Chai Xian snapped out of his muttered thoughts and glared at her angrily: "Xiao Lan has been missing for a long time, you can't frame her!"

Chai Xing'er said, "I don't know why the Mind-Asking Technique is useless against Chai Xian. But he did kill my elder brother, and he also committed the murder in Xiangzhou."

This was witnessed by everyone in the Chai household, and many others from the outside world also saw him commit the crime.

Xu Qi'an then asked, "Chai Xing'er, why do you think Chai Xian wanted to kill your elder brother?"

Chai Xing'er sighed and said, "Chai Xian, he, he is my elder brother's illegitimate son."

These words struck like a thunderclap, resounding in everyone's ears.

Chai Xian's pupils contracted violently as if exposed to a bright light, and his face became as stiff as a stone sculpture. From his blank stare and wooden expression, it was clear that his mind was in chaos and he was incapable of thinking.

Chai Xing'er continued, "He has had an extreme personality since childhood, and his elder brother was afraid that he would not be able to accept this fact. Therefore, he kept it a secret and raised him as an adopted son."

As he grew older, he gradually developed feelings for his younger sister. His elder brother had no choice but to arrange a marriage between Xiao Lan and the Huangfu family as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Chai Xian harbored resentment because of this and actually killed his elder brother, showing how extreme his personality had become.

"You're talking nonsense!" A loud shout interrupted her, Chai Xian's forehead veins bulging, clearly extremely angry.

“Chai Xing’er, don’t spout nonsense. I lost both my parents when I was young. My adoptive father took me in because he felt sorry for me and thought I was talented.”

You slander me, fine, but you also slander him! You wicked woman!

Xu Qi'an questioned Chai Xing'er: "What evidence do you have?"

Chai Xing'er turned her head to look at the door and said, "The evidence is here."

Immediately afterwards, the Chai family members guarding outside the hall shouted, "Who goes there?"

Chai Xing'er said, "It's alright, let 'him' in."

A person dressed in gray walked in, his eyes lifeless, his skin deathly pale, like a walking corpse.

It was Chai Jianyuan, who had been dead for twenty years.

“Godfather.” Chai Xian’s lips trembled.

Myolie Chai manipulated the zombie into sitting down, making him take off his shoes and reveal his left foot.

Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that Chai Jianyuan had six toes, but what does that prove?

Chai Xing'er said, "Chai Xian also has six toes."

Everyone turned to look at Chai Xian, only to find him staring blankly.

Staring blankly at Chai Jianyuan's left foot, the color drained from his face little by little.

Xu Qi'an asked, "Chai Xian, do you have six toes?"

Chai Xian's lips moved, and his jaw convulsed as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Xu Qi'an questioned Chai Xing'er: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Chai Xing'er shook her head sadly: "My elder brother died at the hands of his adopted son, but the Chai family still has some face."

If the scandal of the Chai family dying at the hands of their illegitimate child were to spread, how could they maintain their standing in Xiangzhou?

I would never have made it public if things hadn't come to this point.

Li Lingsu was completely baffled, "But Chai Xian passed the test of conscience; he wasn't the murderer."

At this moment, Li Chang'an said calmly, "He passed the test of conscience, but he was indeed the one who committed the murder."

Everyone was even more confused, as this statement seemed logically contradictory.

Chai Xian felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and his pupils dilated instantly.

Suddenly, a low laugh began, gradually rising in pitch, and finally turning into wild laughter.

Chai Xian raised his head, his handsome face contorted in pain, his eyes filled with manic malice, and his laughter was loud and hoarse.

"Haha, why is this happening?"

Because I was the one who killed him!

In an instant, he seemed to become a different person.

Chapter 408 Luo Yuheng: Split Personality? I know that all too well!

“That’s right, I killed Chai Jianyuan, and I also committed the murder in Xiangzhou. I did everything.”

Chai Xian laughed maniacally, “I was born without a father. My mother was depressed and died from overwork while raising me. I became a beggar at a young age, bullied and suffered all kinds of hardships. She deserved to die.”

Do you know how I survived those years? I lived worse than a dog.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Xiao Lan is still with me, I can let bygones be bygones. But he even tried to take Xiao Lan away from me, doesn't such a person deserve to die? Doesn't he deserve to die?!

At this moment, Chai Xian was completely different from his gentle and handsome self.

Dissociative identity disorder?

Li Lingsu suddenly realized, "So that's it, he has dissociative identity disorder."

Dissociative identity disorder?!

Xu Qi'an also suddenly realized.

He finally understood why the case was so complicated: there were two Chai Xians.

A normal Chai Xian would certainly have no motive to kill Chai Jianyuan.

But Chai Xian, who knows his own background, has this motive; he is an extremely obsessive person.

The normal Chai Xian believes he is innocent and that someone behind the scenes framed him.

Therefore, he insisted on not leaving Xiangzhou and tried to find out the truth.

But in reality, the person behind the scenes is himself, another personality.

"Where is Chai Lan?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"How would I know? You should ask Chai Xing'er!" Chai Xian said with a ferocious expression.

“In the secret room of the cellar…” Chai Xing’er confessed the truth without thinking.

The Chai family immediately rushed to the cellar to search for Chai Lan, who was trapped in the secret room.

At the same time, Li Chang'an asked again, "Doesn't Chai Xian know of your existence?"

It took everyone a while to understand the meaning of the question.

Would a normal Chai Xian know of the existence of a ruthless Chai Xian?

"Of course he doesn't know, because he's a coward who refuses to face his true self," Chai Xian sneered.

So this is a person with schizophrenia... Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Li Lingsu.

Li Chang'an looked down at Chai Xian: "Release him."

Chai Xian didn't speak, he just lowered his head.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked up again, glanced around, and his eyes showed obvious confusion.

Xu Qi'an slowly said, "Chai Xian, you killed everyone involved in the Xiangzhou corpse refining case."

The murderer is yourself; you know you have dissociative identity disorder.

Chai Xian was both angry and bewildered: "What did you say?"

Xu Qi'an told the poor fellow the whole story in detail.

Although reality is so cruel for Chai Xian, facts are facts.

"Nonsense!"

Chai Xian suppressed his anger and hatred, his handsome face revealing disdain.

"I am like fish on a chopping board, now that I have fallen into your hands, you may beat or kill me as you please."

But if you want to slander me, you'd better not bother.

Selective amnesia—no wonder Chai Xian said he was a coward, afraid to face himself.

Xu Qi'an pointed at Chai Jianyuan's walking corpse and said, "Have you forgotten what you saw before you lost consciousness?"

Chai Xian followed his gaze and saw that Chai Jianyuan was still sitting in the chair.

The shoe on his left foot was not on, and his six toes were clearly visible.

Upon seeing this, Chai Xian's expression suddenly froze, as if petrified, staring blankly at Chai Jianyuan's toes.

Just when everyone thought the case was about to be solved, Li Chang'an suddenly said something that surprised everyone:

"This case is not over yet."

"Aren't you right, Myolie?"

"Both Chai Jianyuan and Chai Xian are fifth-rank Transformation Realm experts with superb defensive abilities. Even if Chai Xian launches a surprise attack, it would be impossible for him to kill Chai Jianyuan in a short time."

However, by the time you arrived, Chai Jianyuan was already dead.

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up slightly. "It was poisoning. Chai Jianyuan was poisoned beforehand. I deliberately sneaked into the cellar and dissected Chai Jianyuan's body, and found that he showed signs of poisoning."

He walked up to Chai Jianyuan, tore open the shirt on his chest, revealing the stitched-up "wound" inside.
