Longyang City, Zhenwu Division, Morgue.

As the white cloth covering Zhen Yin's body was removed, Zhen Yin's body was also exposed in front of everyone.

"Master Wei, he is Master Zhen."

Pei Daoyuan said with an extremely sad expression.

Wei Lianyi stepped forward and carefully inspected Zhen Yin's death condition and the fatal injuries on his body.

Su Yu couldn't help but glance over. Lying on the case was a middle-aged man about fifty years old.

He has gray hair and a Chinese character face. He has been in a high position for many years, and his face looks a bit majestic.

There are wrinkles on his brows that look like the word "Chuan". It seems that he often knitted his brows during his lifetime, which is why he still has such deep wrinkles after his death.

There was only one wound all over his body, which was at his throat.

In addition, the corners of his mouth were not the normal pale color after excessive blood loss, but appeared jet black.

In other words, it is very likely that he lost most of his combat effectiveness after being poisoned before his death, and then died after the enemy sealed his throat with a knife or sword.

"Could it be that he was poisoned before he was alive and then his throat was cut to death by the enemy?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed slightly.

According to the information obtained from the public, Zhen Yin has a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm, and has also practiced a local martial skill of the Zhenwu Division.

If the enemy only has the cultivation level of Hidden Dragon Realm, it will not be easy to kill him.

And since it was the kind of thing that sealed the throat with a single blow, it was almost certain that this could not have been done by a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior.

According to this calculation, it is very likely that a warrior in the Soul Palace realm would commit the murder.

But if he was poisoned before his death and lost his fighting ability, it would be much easier to kill him.

But for a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior to poison him, it might not be an easy task.

Wei Lianyi observed carefully for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Wang Jinzhong and the four thousand-household masters.

"When were the deaths of Master Zhen and his family discovered?" Wei Lianyi asked calmly.

Pei Daoyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Yesterday morning, the four of us were in the reception room of Zhenwusi, waiting for Mr. Zhen to come over for a morning meeting, but after waiting for a long time, Mr. Zhen did not come."

"Then there is a guy who delivers food to Lord Zhen's house every day. Yesterday morning when he was delivering food to Lord Zhen's house, he found that everyone in Master Zhen's family was killed, so he hurriedly came to Zhenwu Division to report the case."

Su Yu came to the other cases where the corpses were parked, and then took off the white cloth covering the corpses.

"Huh?"

Su Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Brother Su, what did you find?" Liang Yuxuan came up and couldn't help but ask.

Wei Lianyi had said before that if he could perform well in this mission, he would have the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Thousand Households.

Naturally, they had to be more proactive, but they couldn't let Su Yu steal all the limelight.

The eyes of other people couldn't help but glance over at this moment.

"Four lords, who is this deceased person to Lord Zhen?"

Su Yu looked at the four Qianhu and asked with a smile.

The deceased he was looking at was a woman. Judging from her face, she was probably around thirty years old. She also had exquisite makeup on her face and jewelry made of demon crystal hanging around her neck.

"oh."

Wang Jinzhong glanced at the woman, and then said: "She is a concubine taken by Master Zhen eleven years ago, named Ji Ying."

"Ji Ying?"

Su Yu nodded, and then said: "Master Wei, come over and see how she died."

Wei Lianyi heard this, then quickly walked over, carefully observed Ji Ying's death for a while, her eyes couldn't help but condense, and she said slowly: "She was not poisoned."

Immediately she looked at the people who were accompanying them and ordered: "Tear off the white cloths on the other people's bodies and see if there are any signs of poisoning in these deceased people."

"yes!"

Immediately, with the help of many captains, the white cloths on more than a hundred corpses in the morgue were removed one by one.

Wei Lianyi looked around and said calmly: "Do their faces show signs of poisoning?"

"My lord, no!"

"My lord, no!"

"My lord, no!"

"."

The captains present made debrief reports one by one.

Su Yu had already used his spiritual consciousness to observe the death conditions of all the deceased, and at this moment he couldn't help but have an inference in his mind.

In Zhen's house, only Zhen Yin was poisoned, but no one else showed any signs of poisoning.

Can it be inferred that the poisoner specifically targeted Zhen Yin personally?

And being able to specifically target Zhen Yin personally means that this person must be very familiar with Zhen Yin's personal eating habits, and even have Zhen Yin's trust.

Only in this case can he successfully poison Zhen Yin.

Wei Lianyi got the result, and then said calmly: "Let's go to Master Zhen's house to have a look."

The deceased has already seen it, and now he needs to go to the scene to see what the scene looked like on the day after the crime occurred.

"Master Wei, please."

Wang Jinzhong and four other senior officials from thousands of households led the way.

While walking on the way to Zhen's Mansion, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but start chatting with Wang Jinzhong and the other four.

Wei Lianyi asked: "Did Master Zhen offend anyone during this period?"

Wang Jinzhong and the other four thought about it carefully, and then they all shook their heads.

Wei Shutang smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wei must also know that our Zhenwu Division has always had a hostile relationship with the warriors in the world."

"According to our speculation, Lord Zhen should have offended a certain Jianghu warrior during his tenure in the Zhenwu Division. The other party only knew that he was outmatched, so he devoted himself to hard training. When he had enough cultivation, he went to Lord Zhen's house to poison him.

, and then caused Master Zhen to lose his fighting power and commit this murderous crime."

Pei Daoyuan continued: "Before Mr. Wei arrived, we also tested Mr. Zhen's blood and found that the poison he was poisoned was a poison called blood clover."

"Once the toxin from the blood clover leaf enters the human body, it will cause the person to lose the ability to move."

"Bloodweed?"

Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but said: "Four lords, I remember that this poison is extremely irritating to the sense of smell. How did Lord Zhen, as a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior, get poisoned by this kind of poison?"

Li Jianwu on the side said: "You are right, the blood castor leaf does have an extremely strong pungent smell, but if it is mixed with wine, the wine can cover up part of the smell of the blood castor leaf."

"Perhaps when drinking the first few glasses of wine, the smell of blood clover can still be smelled by the warrior, but if Master Zhen drinks a few more glasses, he drinks the wine with blood clover, and wants to

It’s not that easy to notice.”

"So according to our speculation, it is most likely that Master Zhen was poisoned by the blood castor leaf under such circumstances, and then died with a knife to his throat."

Listening to Li Jianwu's analysis, Su Yu, who was walking in the crowd, couldn't help but shake his head.

How could a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior's sense of smell, who had worked hard all the way to be promoted to the position of governor, not be able to detect a poison with a pungent smell like bloody castor leaves?

If the blood clover leaves were colorless and tasteless and mixed into the wine, it might really be possible for Zhen Yin to drink them.

But it has a strong pungent smell, and it is impossible for Zhen Yin to make such a fatal mistake.

From this, Su Yu guessed that Zhen Yin was most likely poured into poison after being killed by the enemy, and then died as if he was poisoned.

What puzzled Su Yu was why the other party wanted to kill Zhen Yin.

What is his motivation?

Vendetta?

Or is it caused by interests?

Vendetta is easy to explain clearly.

It's just that Zhen Yin offended someone many years ago, and the other party thought that he couldn't kill Zhen Yin with his own strength, so he had to work hard and practice hard, and then finally found a chance to take revenge.

But this possibility is very small.

What kind of enemy can kill Zhen Yin after years of hard work when he couldn't kill him before?

He is making progress, and so is Zhen Yin.

In addition, if he were a martial artist, he would have been exhausted just collecting training resources all his life. It was hard to say whether he could be promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, let alone deal with Zhen Yin, who was practicing earth-level martial arts.

In other words, the possibility of a vendetta against Zhen Yin is almost slim.

Correspondingly, the possibility of killing Zhen Yin because of profit has become much greater.
