Chapter 279: Don't Talk If Your Mouth Smells
Chu Xiu's sudden question made everyone present stunned.
Qiu Dongmao just wanted to say something, he subconsciously opened his mouth, but immediately held back, and said with a look of anger: "Of course I'm in Shangyang!"
What do you mean, Lord Chu? Are you suspecting me of poisoning my father?"
Cheng Buji also looked at Chu Xiu with unkind eyes, and said coldly: "Master Chu, your Guanzhong Torture Hall does have a hand in detecting traces and investigating cases, but everything also has to talk about evidence, what do you mean by asking Qiu Gongzi?"
The five heroes of Jiangdong escorted Qiu Dongmao all the way to Pegasus Ranch, and the five of them had a good sense of Qiu Dongmao.
Qiu Zhensheng is a man who fights for righteousness and squanders money, advocating simplicity, but his eldest son Qiu Dongning has a somewhat domineering feeling, and the five of them have seen it, and their impression is not very good.
But Qiu Dongmao is modest and polite, or the most kind and filial person, on the road often sad for Qiu Zhensheng's death, the five of them also saw it, and Qiu Dongmao's senses are really good.
As a result, now Chu Xiu questioned Qiu Dongmao in the tone of an interrogator, which made the five of them a little dissatisfied.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Don't get excited, I'm just asking, what are you doing with such sensitivity?"
Qiu Dongmao's eyes showed a hint of anger, but Chu Xiu didn't care at all.
In fact, he didn't care how Qiu Zhensheng died, what Chu Xiu really cared about was where Qiu Zhensheng's exercises were, if they were taken away by someone, or if Qiu Zhensheng destroyed them after reciting them, then Chu Xiu would be a little unlucky.
Just now, he asked Qiu Dongmao that sentence was really just a casual question, wanting to deceive the other party.
Human nature is evil, Chu Xiu didn't believe that there was such a person in this world who was treated so unfairly from the beginning, but he didn't have the slightest resentment in his heart.
The toxin of the July Begonia can't kill Qiu Zhensheng, but it can kill Qiu Dongning.
Who will profit the most from Qiu Dongning's death? Of course, Qiu Dong Mao.
Qiu Zhensheng needs someone to inherit his martial arts, inherit his horse-raising skills, and inherit his position as the owner of the Pegasus ranch.
This person was definitely Qiu Dongning before, and if Qiu Dongning died, it could only be Qiu Dongmao.
At this time, Chu Xiaode and the others also came back after exploring the traces of other places in Zhuangzi, Chu Xiaode shook his head and said: "The other party is just here to kill people, except for the traces of murder in Zhuangzi, nothing else has been moved, and the means are very neat, and there are no clues left." ”
Wang Jin frowned on the side and said, "Lord Chu, don't you have a clue at all?"
The Guanzhong Torture Hall has always been famous for detecting traces and solving cases, and the professionalism shown by Cheng Zhouhai is indeed good, and if it is replaced by others, even a martial arts master will not be able to see these things.
But the problem is that the Eastern Qi court wants a murderer, and what it wants is an explanation, and it is useless to talk about anything else.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, the investigation of the Guanzhong Torture Hall also needs to look at traces and clues."
At the moment, the murderer is too clean, and it will definitely be impossible to find out for a while, otherwise if the case is so simple, Dongqi can solve it by himself, so why bother to come to my Guanzhong Torture Hall?
Rest assured, we will definitely give an explanation to the Eastern Qi Imperial Court in this case. ”
Hearing Chu Xiu say this, although Wang Jin was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still nodded and said: "That's okay, our family will go back to the imperial city first, and we will be able to come back in a day or two, I hope that there will be clues on your side by then, Lord Chu." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Jin turned around and left directly.
At this time, Wu Tiandong suddenly muttered in a slightly disdainful whisper: "Guanzhong Torture Hall? ”
Chu Xiu suddenly raised his head, the Heavenly Demon Dance in his hand was already out of its sheath, and it slashed directly towards Wu Tiandong with a deep demonic aura, no one present expected that Chu Xiu would suddenly make a move, and even Fang Zhenqi didn't react.
Wu Tiandong was startled, the Qiuyue double knife in his hand subconsciously crossed in front of him, the knife was like a full moon, and suddenly burst out with a dazzling sword, but it was still slashed out by Chu Xiu's knife, leaning against the wall behind him, his hands couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't even hold the knife.
Seeing this, Cheng Buyi and the other four immediately drew out their weapons, and their anger exploded, and they shouted angrily: "Chu Xiu! What do you mean?!"
The five chivalrous gangs in Jiangdong are like brothers and sisters, even if the person in front of them is Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu who is backed by the Guanzhong Torture Hall, they still dare to do it.
Chu Xiu put away his Heavenly Demon Dance and said slowly: "If you can't speak, don't speak, how can the Guanzhong Torture Hall be slandered by an idiot like you?"
People have to be responsible for their words and deeds, such a big person, but the result is that he can't even control his own mouth, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth, and don't talk if your mouth is bad, understand?"
Wu Tiandong glared at Chu Xiu angrily, with a look of shame and indignation on his face, and at the same time, a little fear in his heart.
He and Chu Xiu were both martial artists of the Sanhua Gathering Top Realm, but Chu Xiu's sword just now made him feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't resist at all!
Fang Zhenqi said coldly on the side: "If the five of you continue to make trouble, then get out of here!"
And Chu Xiu, you also give me restraint, I Dongqi invited you to come here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble!"
Fang Zhenqi, as a general of the Dragoon Forbidden Army, what he values most is the word rules, and the Dragoon Forbidden Army also requires orders to prohibit it.
And this Chu Xiu's character is simply moody, he made a move without warning, if this kind of person is his subordinate, he will definitely make him look good.
Chu Xiu shrugged and said, "If others don't come to provoke me, I naturally don't bother to provoke others." ”
Turning his head, Chu Xiu said to Chu Xiaode: "Take me to the Zhuangzi again to have a look, go up and down, and see if there are any secret rooms or anything like that."
Qiu Zhensheng is very popular in the rivers and lakes, but now he is killed for no reason, there may be something hidden in this. ”
Chu Xiaode nodded, and followed Chu Xiu to investigate in the Zhuangzi again, but this time Qiu Dongmao also followed closely behind Chu Xiu, as if he was worried that Chu Xiu had taken some relics from Qiu Zhensheng.
In fact, Chu Xiu was indeed looking for traces of that exercise, although he knew that it was unlikely that that exercise would be put to the light by Qiu Zhensheng.
Nowadays, most of the top exercises are engraved on the jade slips of the transmission of gong, so it is easier to understand the true meaning of the martial arts.
There is also a part of it that is just like the Yin and Yang Great Compassion Fu obtained by Chu Xiu, which is written on special things with special materials, and it also has the true meaning of martial arts.
This kind of thing can be found at a glance, the Qiu family's Zhuangzi is so big, less than ten houses, and after searching all of them, nothing can be found.
At this time, it was almost late, and Chu Xiu and the others had no intention of exploring any further, so they said goodbye to Fang Zhenqi, but Qiu Dongmao insisted on keeping a vigil for Qiu Zhensheng here, but was blasted out by Fang Zhenqi.
As the private army of the Eastern Qi royal family, the Dragoon Forbidden Army can be said to be forbidden, even if Qiu Dongmao is the son of Qiu Zhensheng, don't want to stay here alone.
The resting place of Chu Xiu and the others is in the Pegasus Ranch, where there are some guest rooms, and the people of Eastern Qi arranged Chu Xiu here.
In the guest room, Chu Xiu looked at a few people around him and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I am not very good at this, you know, what suggestions do you have at the moment?"
Zhong Ping shook his head indifferently, he was from the Anti-Criminal Division, he can only kill people, and it is better not to look for him for other things.
Wang Qianping smiled and said, "This time, the hall master asked Lord Chu to lead the team, and I will do whatever Lord Chu says." ”
Along the way, Wang Qianping's performance can be described as extremely low-key, he will do whatever he asks him to do, and there is no yang and yin disobedience, as if there is really no grudge between him and Chu Xiu.
But Chu Xiu will not be confused by his set, this guy is simply a smiling tiger-like character, he dug a pit for Chu Xiu when they first met, and now he may be thinking about something.
The only people present who were really willing to contribute were Chu Xiaode and Cheng Zhouhai, these two people looked at each other, and Cheng Zhouhai said: "This case is really a bit tricky.
First of all, judging from the corpses and traces of the fight, there are few clues, and there is no clue at all, and this clue has been broken.
And Qiu Zhensheng's reputation in the rivers and lakes is really good, he can hardly find any enemies, even if he occasionally has some grudges, he will not kill, and he doesn't even have the ability to kill.
The two most important effects have been cut off, even in the most stupid way, it is impossible to investigate Qiu Zhensheng's enemies one by one. ”
Several people present looked at Chu Xiu, although it was said that Chu Xiu was not good at these things, but this time it was Chu Xiu who led the team, the case was not completed, Chu Xiu's responsibility was greater than all of them, and it was impossible for him to stay out of the matter.
Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much about this matter, but I only know that any vendetta in the rivers and lakes can't escape two words: hatred and interests.
Qiu Zhensheng has almost no enemies, so we simply guess that the other party killed because of interests, and Qiu Zhensheng must have touched the interests of some people, so he was killed.
The traces on Qiu Zhensheng's body during the day also said that it was two people who poisoned and killed, and it was obvious that the person who killed Qiu Zhensheng suddenly had intentions.
If we go the other way and don't care about the clues inside Zhuangzi, but go outside to see where he has gone and what he has done during this time, it is estimated that we will gain something. ”
Cheng Zhouhai thought for a while and said: "This is feasible, you can give it a try, but now that the clues are interrupted, this can only be done." ”
After the plan was made, everyone rested for the time being, and after the second day, Chu Xiu and they asked those people under the command of Pegasus Ranch, only to learn that Qiu Zhensheng spent most of his time in Zhuangzi and Pegasus Ranch, and only went to Jeju Mansion a month ago, and Chu Xiu and others also immediately went to Jeju Mansion to investigate.
