Chapter 279 Suspicion

After the situation stabilized, Chu Xiu didn't get entangled with the five people. He directly ordered Chu Xiaode and the others: "Go in and start investigating."

Chu Xiaode and the others nodded, and began to enter each room of Zhuangzi to investigate traces and examine the corpse.

At this time, Qiu Dongmao said: "Since the people from Guanzhong Torture Hall are here, can I go to see my father's body?"

Cheng Buyu and the others were all staring at Chu Xiu. Although they didn't want to have any conflict with Chu Xiu, if Chu Xiu didn't agree to the small request of his son to see his father's body, then he would be going too far.

Qiu Zhensheng is their benefactor, and Qiu Dongmao is Qiu Zhensheng's only son, so of course they want to stand up for Qiu Dongmao.

Chu Xiu didn't embarrass him this time, but said lightly: "Yes, but you'd better not touch anything, otherwise you won't be able to afford to ruin the scene."

Wu Tiandong snorted coldly, and the others didn't dare to refute, and directly took Qiu Dongmao in to see Qiu Zhensheng's body.

The bodies of the Qiu family were all parked in an empty room, and members of the Dragonrider Imperial Army had already preserved them in ice coffins.

Qiu Zhensheng's appearance is that of a middle-aged man in his fifties. He entered the Three Flowers Gathering Realm very late, so his appearance is a bit old-fashioned, but his appearance is still square.

At this time, Qiu Zhensheng's body didn't have any scars, but his complexion was gray and white, and there was a strange blue-black color, which looked very strange.

After seeing Qiu Zhensheng's body, Qiu Dongmao seemed to have collapsed in an instant, lying in front of Qiu Zhensheng's ice coffin and crying loudly, crying with broken heart, looking very miserable.

Cheng Bushi, who was at the side, comforted him and said, "Young Master Qiu, Engong has already left, please give me your condolences. The most urgent thing is to find the murderer and kill him to comfort Engong's spirit in heaven."

Qiu Dongmao nodded sadly, but still couldn't help crying.

Chu Xiu frowned slightly when he saw this scene, a sense of disobedience welled up in his heart, and the source of this disobedience happened to be Qiu Dongmao.

Chu Xiu is not a good person, and he doesn't mind trying to speculate on a person with the greatest malice.

Qiu Dongmao is Qiu Zhensheng's illegitimate son. In fact, according to Qiu Zhensheng's normal strength and status, Qiu Dongmao is also one of his heirs, and there is no such thing as an illegitimate son.

The result is that because of Qiu Zhensheng's oath back then, as Qiu Zhensheng's son, one can stay by his father's side and be carefully taught, and in the future he can become the heir of Pegasus Ranch, with his back against Dong Qi and his eyes on the rivers and lakes, Inheriting Qiu Zhensheng's network, the future is limitless.

However, Qiu Dongmao could only be thrown in Shangyang County, and everything he could get was pitifully small, and he didn't even see his father a few times for a year.

Qiu Zhensheng's eldest son, Qiu Dongning already has the strength of the Inner Gang Realm, while Qiu Dongmao is obviously over twenty years old, yet he is still at the Blood Coagulation Realm, which is a huge difference.

If this situation is changed to Chu Xiu, he will feel resentment 100% of the time. It should be said that it is unfair to anyone.

As a result, Qiu Dongmao is acting so sad and true right now, or the other party is really the kind of filial person who only cares about the relationship between father and son, and doesn't care about his own treatment at all.

Either way, this Qiu Dongmao is acting, but the acting is very good, ignoring the rationality of it, the crying heartbroken looks like a dead father, Chu Xiu can't fault it, of course Papa is indeed dead.

It's just that compared to the former, Chu Xiu still believes in the latter. Human nature is inherently evil. How many people who grew up in this environment are mentally healthy?

At this time, Cheng Zhouhai said lightly: "Young Master Qiu, please step aside, I will check Qiu Zhensheng's body later."

As he spoke, he held a slender and small knife in Cheng Zhouhai's hand, with a cold light shining on the blade.

Qiu Dongmao's complexion changed and he said, "How do you check?"

Before Cheng Zhouhai could speak, Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Young Master Qiu, how do we check things that don't seem to concern you? Is it possible that I have to report everything to you when I work in the Criminal Hall?"

With grief on his face, Qiu Dongmao pointed at Cheng Zhouhai and said, "He wants to destroy my father's body, so why should I look at it like this?"

At this time, Cheng Bushi pulled Qiu Dongmao to comfort him and said, "Young Master Qiu, Guanzhong Xingtang's methods of inspecting traces and detecting cases are still trustworthy. Regarding Zhong Xingtang's actions, I believe that the person who killed Engong can be found out smoothly." murderer."

Hearing what Cheng Buyu said, Qiu Dongmao stopped talking and stood aside, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Zhouhai.

Cheng Zhouhai skillfully began to inspect the appearance of Qiu Zhensheng's corpse, and finally stripped off the clothes of the corpse. There was a black and purple palm print on Qiu Zhensheng's chest, which made everyone subconsciously look at Chu Xiu.

With the announcement of the Dragon and Tiger List, some traces of Chu Xiu's skills were also written into the Dragon and Tiger List by Feng Manlou.

Many people in Jianghu know that there is an evil palm technique in Chu Xiu's martial arts, which will leave such a mark on a person's body, and then the magic flame will enter the body, burning the opponent's meridians and internal organs .

However, no one thought that Qiu Zhensheng's death had anything to do with Chu Xiu.

When Qiu Zhensheng died, Chu Xiu was still in retreat in the Guanzhong torture hall, and Qiu Zhensheng was a master who had stepped into the realm of harmony between man and nature for many years. Even if Chu Xiu killed him, he would not be able to kill him. There are many palm techniques that can leave such a mark.

Cheng Zhouhai cut open Qiu Zhensheng's body, and saw that Qiu Zhensheng's internal organs had started to rot and blacken, exuding a strong stench.

Cheng Zhouhai frowned, and he took out some strange tools and even medicine bottles and other things to examine carefully. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that he re-sewed Qiu Zhensheng's body and other people's. After examining the corpses, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chu Xiu asked, "What was the result?"

Cheng Zhouhai said in a deep voice: "The cause of Qiu Zhensheng's death was that a master hit his chest with an extremely sinister palm force, and that palm force directly shattered Cheng Zhouhai's meridians and injured his internal organs. kill.

There were traces of fighting on the body. The murderer should not be a martial arts master, but a master of the unity of heaven and man, but his strength is stronger than Qiu Zhensheng. "

Everyone present was stunned, Cheng Zhouhai was talking nonsense, if the murderer was not as strong as Qiu Zhensheng, how did Qiu Zhensheng die?

After a while, Zhou Hai continued: "The same is in the realm of harmony between man and nature, Qiu Zhensheng's death was too simple. The killer's palm was the main cause of death, but the secondary cause of death was because Qiu Zhensheng had a poisonous substance in his body. The chronic toxin of July Begonia, or a slightly poisonous elixir, is appropriate.

July crabapple is produced in Miaojiang, and it only blooms in the moonlight every July. Its pharmacology is complex, it can stagnate true energy and strengthen meridians, and it is a good material for refining several healing medicines.

However, if the July Begonia is not refined, it is slightly poisonous. Taking it for a long time can slowly solidify the meridians in the body.

The reason why Qiu Zhensheng was killed so easily was that he was a step slower when he shot because there were some solidified traces of the meridians in his body.

For a martial artist of this level, one step slower is a dead end, but the opponent finds the right opportunity and directly kills him with a single palm.

But Qiu Zhensheng's toxin is also very strange.

July Begonia is colorless and odorless, and strictly speaking, it is not even poisonous, so poisoning is a subtle process, especially for a warrior of Qiu Zhensheng's level, as long as he does not use all his strength, he will hardly notice any abnormalities, and even if No matter how much July crabapple he ate, he would almost never be turned back by his true energy.

So I feel that the July Begonia was laid for other people. Everyone in Qiu Zhensheng’s Zhuangzi has the toxin of July Begonia in his body, especially Qiu Zhensheng’s son Qiu Dongning. Let's go, the meridian is not too tough, if he takes the July Begonia for a few more months, he should be the one who is useless. "

Cheng Zhouhai finished all the things he detected in one breath, and Chu Xiu nodded beside him.

Fortunately, Guan Siyu had the foresight to send Cheng Zhouhai and others out this time. Otherwise, if Chu Xiu came, he could at most see that Qiu Zhensheng was slapped to death by someone. As for the toxin of the July Begonia He can never see it.

"Can you see the details of the murderer?" Chu Xiu asked.

Cheng Zhouhai hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "You can't tell from the body alone.

The time for fighting was too short, and Qiu Zhensheng was already killed within ten strokes of the fight, so there were almost no traces left.

Moreover, the traces left by that palm should not be the signature martial arts of the great sects or casual cultivators. It may be someone's own martial arts or opened from the ancient secret box. Martial arts known to outsiders.

And I feel that the person who poisoned and the murderer should not be the same person.

If the two parties were alone, then the other party should be familiar with the characteristics of Qiyue Haitang, and knew that this drug could only have some effect on a master of Qiu Zhensheng's level, and could not directly kill him.

In the end, the murderer took the risk of Qiu Zhensheng's poisoning being discovered. The July Begonia in Qiu Zhensheng's body had accumulated for a while before he did it. According to my guess, the murderer probably didn't know that Qiu Zhensheng was poisoned. . "

Chu Xiu touched his chin, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "When did Qiu Zhensheng and the others get poisoned?"

Cheng Zhouhai said: "About a month ago, but with Qiu Zhensheng's cultivation, the toxins of July Haitang will no longer deepen after ten days, while the toxins on other people continue to deteriorate."

Chu Xiu nodded, turned his head suddenly, and asked Qiu Dongmao, "Young Master Qiu, where were you a month ago?"
