Chapter 418 Poison Testing
Gu Qingyi was still confused after listening to Ma Lu telling the whole story.
Ma Lu suddenly became a disciple of Deng Youtai, the former leader of the Beggar Clan, which was surprising enough. Unexpectedly, deputy sect leader Xu of the Tianlong Sect had also taught him Qing Kung, and he could also relax. Isn’t the Songxi Kuaijian of the Xi Sword Sect the leader of three families?
He is young, so this adventure may be too many.
However, Gu Qingyi knew that now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Everyone in Tianlongmen was still waiting, and there was also a fresh murder case in front of him.
As soon as he saw that there was another case to investigate, Gu Qingyi's eyes lit up again.
She took out the arrest warrant she carried with her and showed it to It, who was not far away.
“There is actually a third divine arrester in Yuchang County.”
The big Hu man took the token and was a little surprised, but soon a joyful look appeared on his face.
"Gu Shenping came at the right time. Deputy Sect Leader Xu was murdered not long ago. I hope Gu Shenping can find the murderer for us. We, Tianlong Sect, will be grateful."
"I'll try my best." Gu Qingyi nodded and then came to the coffin.
She checked the body first, and then asked a few more questions.
The cause of death of Deputy Sect Master Xu is not complicated. As long as he takes off his clothes, you can see that his body is covered with stick wounds and one arm was broken.
But the most fatal thing was the stick above his head, which directly dented a large piece of his head.
If nothing else, this stick should have killed him.
There are many people practicing stick skills in the world, but not many are good at it, and more than half of these stick skill masters are in the Beggar Clan.
One of the three magical skills of the Beggar Clan is the Jingle Bells Stick, and unlike the Innate Pure Yang Palm that only the gang leader can practice, any elder with more than seven bags of the Jingle Bells Stick can practice it.
Of course there are also people who have practiced this martial arts to a very advanced level.
In addition, according to the maid who first discovered the body, Deputy Master Xu’s bedroom was very messy, with many traces of fighting.
A window facing the courtyard wall was still open, and there were footprints on the window sill. The murderer should have escaped from there after the murder.
The facts of the case here are actually very clear. Someone sneaked into deputy master Xu's room while he was sleeping in the middle of the night and launched a sneak attack on him.
After killing him, he escaped through the window, and the person who did it was most likely a master of the beggar gang.
Recently, the Beggar Clan was going to take action against the Tianlong Sect, so it was reasonable and reasonable to get rid of one of the deputy sect leaders of the Tianlong Sect in advance.
However, Gu Qingyi frowned slightly after hearing this, and Tan Mazi on the side shouted.
"Gu Shenqing, what do you think? Did you see that some bastard from the Beggar Clan did it? I'm going to smash his head in."
Gu Qingyi did not answer in a hurry, but opened the leather box on his waist, took out a silver needle from it, and was about to stab Deputy Sect Leader Xu's throat.
But the next moment her wrist was held by someone.
"What is Gu Shenpo going to do with the body of Deputy Sect Leader Xu?" Yi Te said.
"Oh, I want to test for poison." Gu Qingyi replied.
“Poison test? Deputy sect leader Kexu obviously died of a stick wound.”
"Deputy Sect Leader Xu just has stick wounds on the surface of his body, but it doesn't mean that he was definitely beaten to death with a stick." Gu Qingyi said in shock.
"Huh?"
"About twenty years ago, the owner of Zhujian Villa, Wei, was found dead in his study, stabbed several times. At that time, many people believed that the murderer was Li Fei, the master of the Shen Dao Sect who had a long-standing feud with him.
“But I...well, after investigation, Ren Shenqi of the Iron Clothes Sect discovered the wife of Master Wei and his eldest disciple. There were serious suspicions, and Ren Shenquan later tested poison on the body of Master Wei.
“It was discovered that Master Wei had actually been poisoned before his death, and the person who poisoned him was his wife, because his wife had been having an affair with his eldest disciple a long time ago, and Master Wei I also noticed something recently: "His wife was worried that her husband would find out about this scandal, so she poisoned Master Wei to death in advance, and then asked the eldest disciple to chop ten times on Master Wei's body with a knife. If you have too many swords, put the blame on the Shen Dao Sect. ”
After Gu Qingyi finished talking about this major case that once shocked the world in one breath, a strange color flashed in Yi Te's eyes, and the hand holding her loosened.
Gu Qingyi took the opportunity to pierce the silver needle into Deputy Sect Master Xu's throat, then pulled it out again after a moment and put it in front of his eyes.
Everyone in the casino held their breath.
Gu Qingyi carefully looked at the blood stains on the needle.
This time, it was the beautiful woman who spoke first, "What, Gu Shenqi, deputy sect master Xu is poisoned."
"No." Gu Qingyi took back the silver needle, and then said, " I want to go to Deputy Sect Master Xu’s house and have a chat with his family.”
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Tianlong Sect became strange.
Ma Lu coughed, pulled Gu Qingyi aside, and whispered, "What questions are you going to ask Deputy Sect Master Xu's family."
"I haven't thought of it yet, but as long as I want to hear everything about Deputy Sect Master Xu.”
Gu Qingyi said, "My father taught me that the truth is often hidden in the details. You can't tell which sentence or thing can bring you inspiration."
"So your main task in investigating the case is Rely on inspiration?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?”
“Well, it’s not that you can’t rely on inspiration, but maybe you can use a more tactful way next time. Investigation..."
Gu Qingyi blinked, "What do you mean?"
"Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but also about human nature." Ma Lu said, "Didn't you suspect that Deputy Sect Leader Xu was poisoned before?"
"That's right."
"Shi Zuo He happens to be a master of using poison. I have seen him use poison to change the color of his pupils. When you first came up, you suspected that Deputy Sect Leader Xu was poisoned, which put him in a very embarrassing situation.
"You said it again later. That Master Jiang of Sword Making Villa..."
"It's Master Wei. ”
"Well, the case of Master Wei suggests that the wife of Deputy Master Xu may be the murderer."
"I didn't say that."
"I know, but what you said The case sounds very much like that."
Ma Lu said, "If this case is heard by deputy sect leader Xu's wife, do you think she will cooperate with our subsequent investigation?"< br>
“Then what should I say?” Gu Qingyi humbly asked for advice.
"You said that after investigation, it was found that the murderer was most likely a member of the Beggar Clan, and you already had a few suspects in your mind, but more clues were needed to confirm it, so you went to Deputy Sect Master Xu's home for a visit. Let’s go and meet Deputy Sect Master Xu’s family.”
“Oh.” Gu Qingyi turned around and tried to repeat what Ma Lu had taught her, but was stopped by Ma Lu.
“Forget it, it’s too late now, let’s go to Deputy Sect Master Xu’s house first.”
Deputy Sect Master Xu’s residence is not far from Happy Forest, only separated by a river street.
Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi walked there accompanied by Tan Mazi.
