After the scene stabilized, Chu Xiu didn't bother with the five people. He directly ordered Chu Xiaode and others: "Go in and start investigating."
Chu Xiaode and others nodded and began to enter various rooms in Zhuangzi to investigate the traces and examine the bodies.
At this time, Qiu Dongmao said: "Since the people from Guanzhong Punishment Hall are here, can I see my father's body?"
Cheng Buqi and 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 his son's small request to see his father's body, then he would have gone too far.
Qiu Zhensheng is their benefactor, and Qiu Dongmao is Qiu Zhensheng's only son. Of course they have to stand up for Qiu Dongmao.
Chu Xiu did not embarrass him this time, but simply said: "Okay, but you'd better not touch anything, otherwise you can't afford to damage the scene."
Wu Tiandong snorted coldly, and the others did not dare to refute, and directly took Qiu Dongmao in to see Qiu Zhensheng's body.
The bodies of the Qiu family were all placed in an empty room, and the Dragonriders had 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 also looks a bit old-fashioned, but his appearance is still square and majestic.
At this time, there were no injuries on Qiu Zhensheng's body, but his complexion was gray and white, and exuded a strange green-black color, which made him look very evil.
After seeing Qiu Zhensheng's body, Qiu Dongmao seemed to collapse in an instant. He lay down in front of Qiu Zhensheng's ice coffin and cried loudly. He was crying with his heart broken and his appearance was very miserable.
Cheng Bushi, who was standing by, comforted him and said: "Mr. Qiu, my benefactor has passed away. Please express my condolences and obey me. The top priority is to find the murderer and kill him to appease my benefactor's spirit in heaven."
Qiu Dongmao nodded sadly, but still couldn't help crying.
When Chu Xiu saw this scene, he frowned slightly, and a sense of discord came to his heart. The source of this sense of discord happened to be Qiu Dongmao.
Chu Xiu is not a good person, and he doesn't mind using the greatest malice to judge someone.
Qiu Dongmao is Qiu Zhensheng's illegitimate son. In fact, if we look at Qiu Zhensheng's normal strength and identity, Qiu Dongmao is also one of his children, so there is no such thing as an illegitimate son.
The result is that because of Qiu Zhensheng's oath, as Qiu Zhensheng's son, he can stay by his father's side and be carefully taught, and he can become the heir of Pegasus Ranch in the future. With Dong Qi's back and his eyes on the world,
If you inherit Qiu Zhensheng's connections, your future will be limitless.
However, Qiu Dongmao could only be thrown into Shangyang County, and everything he could get was pitiful. He could not even see his father a few times 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, but he is still in the Blood Coagulation Realm. This is a huge difference.
If it were Chu Xiu in this situation, he would definitely feel resentful. It should be said that if it were placed on anyone, everyone would feel it was unfair.
As a result, Qiu Dongmao is acting so sadly and truthfully right now, or the other person 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 just acting, but his acting skills are very good, and he ignores the rationality. He is crying like a broken-hearted man, just like his dead father. Chu Xiu can't find fault with him, of course.
Dad is indeed dead.
But compared to the former, Chu Xiu still believes in the latter. Human nature is inherently evil. How many people who grow up in such an environment are mentally healthy?
At this time, Cheng Zhouhai said calmly: "Master Qiu, please step aside. I want to check Qiu Zhensheng's body later."
As he spoke, Cheng Zhouhai held a slender and compact knife in his hand, with a cold light flashing on the edge.
Qiu Dongmao's expression changed and he said, "How do you want to check?"
Before Cheng Zhouhai spoke, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Mr. Qiu, it seems that it is none of your business how we check. Is it possible that I have to report everything to you when I am working in Guanzhong Punishment Hall?"
Qiu Dongmao looked sad, pointed at Cheng Zhouhai and said: "He wants to destroy my father's body, does he still want me to look at it like this?"
At this time, Cheng Bushi took Qiu Dongmao and comforted him: "Mr. Qiu, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall's methods of examining traces and investigating cases are still worthy of trust. If the Zhongxing Hall takes action, I believe that the person who killed our benefactor can be successfully found."
murderer."
Hearing what Cheng Bushi said, Qiu Dongmao stopped talking and stood aside, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Zhouhai.
Cheng Zhouhai skillfully began to examine the appearance of Qiu Zhensheng's corpse, and finally peeled 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 people from Feng Manlou.
Many people in the world 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 demonic flames will enter the body and burn the opponent's meridians and internal organs.
.
However, no one thinks that Qiu Zhensheng's death is related to Chu Xiu.
When Qiu Zhensheng died, Chu Xiu was still in seclusion in the Guanzhong torture hall. Moreover, Qiu Zhensheng was a master who had been in the realm of harmony between man and nature for many years. Even if Chu Xiu was asked to kill him, he still couldn't 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 began to rot and turn black, exuding a strong stench.
Cheng Zhouhai frowned. He took out some strange tools and even medicine bottles and looked at them carefully. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that he stitched Qiu Zhensheng's body back together, and then sewed up the others' bodies.
After examining the corpse, he finally breathed 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 used an extremely sinister palm force to hit his chest. The palm force directly shattered Cheng Zhouhai's meridians and injured his internal organs.
Kill.
There are traces of struggle on the body. The murderer is probably not a martial arts master, but a master of the realm of harmony between man and nature, 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?
However, Zhou Hai then said: "We are both in the realm of unity between heaven and man. Qiu Zhensheng's death was too simple. The palm of the murderer was the main cause of death, but the secondary cause of death was because Qiu Zhensheng was poisoned by a substance called
The chronic toxin of July Begonia, or a slightly poisonous elixir, is appropriate.
The July Begonia is produced in Miao territory and blooms only when the moon shines in July every year. It has complex pharmacological properties and can condense the true energy and strengthen the meridians. It is a good material for refining several kinds of healing medicine.
However, this July Begonia is slightly poisonous if it is not refined. Long-term use can slowly and completely solidify the meridians in the body. Not only will the person be disabled, but the true energy will backfire, and there is even a risk of serious injury.
The reason why Qiu Zhensheng was killed so easily was because the meridians in his body had some traces of solidification when he took action, so he was a little slow when he took action.
For a warrior of this level, a step too late would be a dead end. As a result, his opponent would find the right opportunity and kill him with a single palm strike.
However, the poison in Qiu Zhensheng's poison is also very strange.
July Begonia is colorless and odorless. Strictly speaking, it is not even a poison, so poisoning is a subtle process. Especially for a warrior of Qiu Zhensheng's level, as long as he does not attack with all his strength, he can hardly detect any abnormality, and even if
No matter how much Begonia he eats, he will almost never be backlashed by the true energy.
So I feel like this July Begonia was planted for other people. Everyone in Qiu Zhensheng's village has the poison of July Begonia in their bodies, especially Qiu Zhensheng's son Qiu Dongning.
Come on, my meridians are not too strong yet, if I take July Begonia for a few more months, he should be the one who is disabled."
Cheng Zhouhai finished explaining everything he detected in one breath, while Chu Xiu nodded at the side.
Fortunately, Guan Siyu had the foresight to send out Cheng Zhouhai and others this time. Otherwise, if Chu Xiu came, he would at most be able to tell that Qiu Zhensheng was slapped to death. As for the poison in July Begonia,
He would never be able to tell.
"Can you find out the details of the murderer?" Chu Xiu asked.
Cheng Zhouhai hesitated and shook his head: "You can't tell it from the corpse alone.
The time for the attack was too short. The two sides fought even ten times before Qiu Zhensheng was killed before Qiu Zhensheng was killed, so there were almost no traces left.
Moreover, the traces left by that palm should not be the signature martial arts of those who are from the big sects in the world or the strong casual cultivators. It may be someone's own martial arts or the martial arts that were 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 are the same person, then the other party should be familiar with the characteristics of Qiyue Begonia and know that this drug can only have some effects on a master of Qiu Zhensheng's level, but cannot directly kill him.
In the end, the murderer risked the discovery of Qiu Zhensheng's poisoning. The July Begonia in Qiu Zhensheng's body had accumulated for some time before taking action. According to my speculation, the murderer probably didn't know that Qiu Zhensheng was poisoned.
.”
Chu Xiu touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "When were Qiu Zhensheng and the others poisoned?"
Cheng Zhouhai said: "About a month ago, but with Qiu Zhensheng's cultivation level, the toxins in Qiyue Begonia will no longer deepen after ten days, while the toxins in other people's bodies are still getting worse."
Chu Xiu nodded, turned his head suddenly, and asked Qiu Dongmao: "Mr. Qiu, where were you a month ago?"
