Chapter 418 Drug Testing
After listening to Malu's explanation of the whole story, Gu Qingyi was still confused.

It was already surprising enough that Malu suddenly became a disciple of Deng Youtai, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect. Unexpectedly, Deputy Leader Xu of the Tianlong Sect also taught him the Qinggong skill. What's more, he also knows the Songxi Fast Sword of the Songxi Sword School. Doesn't that mean he has the strengths of three schools?
He is so young, but he has had too many adventures.

However, Gu Qingyi knew that now was not the time to dwell on such matters, as the people from the Tianlong Gate were still waiting on the side, and there was also a fresh murder case before his eyes.

When he saw there was another case to investigate, Gu Qingyi's eyes lit up again.

She took out the arrest warrant she carried with her and gave it to It who was not far away.

"Yuchang County actually has a third master detective."

The Hu man was a little surprised when he took the token, but soon a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Inspector Gu has arrived at the right time. Deputy Sect Leader Xu was murdered not long ago. I hope Inspector Gu can find the murderer for us. The whole Tianlong Sect will reward him handsomely."

"I'll try my best." Gu Qingyi nodded, then came to the coffin.

She first examined the body and then asked a few more questions.

The cause of death of Deputy Sect Leader Xu was not complicated. As long as he took off his clothes, you could see that his body was covered with stick wounds and one of his arms was broken.

But the most fatal blow was the blow to his head, which directly caused a large dent in his skull.

If nothing unexpected happened, this stick should have taken his life.

There are many people who practice stick techniques in the martial arts world, but not many of them are good at it. And more than half of these stick techniques masters are in the Beggars' Sect.

One of the three magical skills of the Beggars' Sect is the Jingle Bells Stick. Unlike the Innate Pure Yang Palm which can only be practiced by the sect leader, the Jingle Bells Stick can be practiced by elders with more than seven bags.

Naturally, there are also people who have mastered this martial art to a high level.

In addition, according to the maid who first discovered the body, Deputy Sect Leader Xu's bedroom was very messy and there were many signs of fighting.

A window facing the courtyard wall was still open, and there were footprints on the windowsill. The murderer must have escaped from there after committing the crime.

The case was actually very clear at this point. Someone sneaked into Deputy Sect Leader 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. The person who did this was most likely a master of the Beggars' Sect.

The Beggars' Sect was about to take action against the Tianlong Sect recently, so it was reasonable to eliminate one of the deputy leaders of the Tianlong Sect in advance.

However, Gu Qingyi frowned slightly after hearing this, and Tan Mazi at the side shouted.

"Gu Shenbi, what do you think? Can you tell which beggar from the Beggars' Sect did it? I'm going to smash his head into pieces right now."

Gu Qingyi did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he opened the leather box at his waist, took out a silver needle from it, and was about to stab it into Deputy Sect Master Xu's throat.

But the next moment her wrist was grabbed by someone.

"What is Detective Gu going to do with Deputy Sect Leader Xu's body?" Yite asked.

"Oh, I want to test for poison." Gu Qingyi replied.

"Poison test? But Deputy Sect Master Xu clearly died from a stick wound."

"Deputy Sect Leader Xu's body only has some stick wounds on the surface, but it doesn't mean he was definitely beaten to death with a stick." Gu Qingyi said shockingly.

"Ok?"

"About twenty years ago, Master Wei of Zhujian Villa was found dead in his study room with multiple knife wounds. At that time, many people believed that the murderer was Li Fei, the master of the Divine Sword Sect, who had a grudge against him.

“However, I… well, after investigation, Constable Ren of the Iron Cloth Sect discovered that Manor Master Wei’s wife and his eldest disciple were major suspects, and Constable Ren then tested the corpse of Manor Master Wei for poison.

"It was discovered that before his death, Master Wei had been poisoned, 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 had recently noticed it. "His wife was worried that this scandalous affair against human ethics would be discovered by her husband, so she poisoned Master Wei to death in advance, and then asked the eldest disciple to chop Master Wei's body with a knife more than ten times, and put the blame on the Divine Sword Sect."

Gu Qingyi finished telling the story of this major case that once shocked the world in one breath. A strange look flashed in Yite's eyes, and he loosened his grip on her hand.

Gu Qingyi took the opportunity to stab the silver needle into Deputy Sect Master Xu's throat, then pulled it out after a moment and placed it in front of his eyes.

Everyone in the gambling house held their breath.

Gu Qingyi carefully looked at the bloodstain on the needle.

This time it was the beautiful woman who spoke first, "What's the matter, Detective Gu, has Deputy Sect Leader Xu been poisoned?"

"No." Gu Qingyi took back the silver needle, and then said, "I want to go to Deputy Sect Master Xu's home to take a look and talk to his family."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that the expressions on the faces of the people from Tianlongmen all became strange.

Ma Lu coughed, pulled Gu Qingyi aside, and whispered, "What questions do you plan to ask Deputy Sect Master Xu's family?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I want to hear anything related to Deputy Sect Master Xu."

Gu Qingyi said, "My father taught me that the truth is often hidden in the details. You never know which words or things can bring you inspiration."

"So you mainly rely on inspiration to solve cases?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Well, it's not that you can't rely on inspiration, but maybe you can try a more tactful way to conduct the investigation next time..."

Gu Qingyi blinked, "What do you mean?"

"The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, it is also about the ways of the world." Ma Lu said, "Didn't you suspect that Deputy Sect Leader Xu was poisoned before?"

"Yes."

"Yi Zuo Shi happens to be an expert in using poison. I have seen him use poison to change the color of his pupils. You suspected that Deputy Sect Leader Xu was poisoned right from the start, which put him in an awkward position.

"Then you talked about the owner of the Sword Forging Villa, Jiang..."

"It's Master Wei."

"Well, the case of Master Wei suggests that Deputy Master Xu's wife might be the murderer."

"I never said that."

"I know, but the case you described sounded a lot like that."

Ma Lu asked, "If Deputy Sect Master Xu's wife heard about this case, do you think she would still cooperate with our subsequent investigation?"

"Then what should I say?" Gu Qingyi asked humbly.

"Just say that after investigation, you found that the murderer is most likely a member of the Beggars' Sect, and that you already have a few suspects in mind, but you still need more clues to confirm it, so you want to go to Deputy Sect Master Xu's home to meet his family."

"Oh." Gu Qingyi turned around and was about to repeat what Malu taught her, but was stopped by Malu again.

"Forget it, it's too late to talk about it now, let's go to Deputy Sect Master Xu's house first."

Deputy Sect Leader Xu's residence was not far from Happy Forest, just across the street.

Malu and Gu Qingyi walked towards there accompanied by Tan Mazi.
