The Yaofangtang is a huge space, but there are only four people standing there with solemn expressions. Apart from that, there were three corpses covered with white cloth, lying flat on the ground.
Seeing the three people coming in, the expressions of the four people in the hall did not change much. Only the corners of Chen Jiu's eyes twitched slightly. Li Yaotian and the three of them all looked at Chen Jiu, as if waiting for him to say something. He was Chen Jiu, but he didn't speak. In the end, it was Li Yaotian who broke the silence first.
"Here we come." He looked at the three people who had just come in and said nonsense.
"Yes." Even though it was nonsense, Jin Qi still bowed and answered. Lu Ping and Zi Mu behind him also bowed and saluted, and then curiously looked at this important place hidden in the middle of the mountain. From time to time, his eyes glanced at Bai Li, the first disciple of Kaiyang Peak. This first disciple of Kaiyang Peak was thin, dark-skinned, and looked like a medicine farmer. He was still a new face to Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
"Lu Ping, Zi Mu, right?" At this time, Li Yaotian looked at Lu Ping and Zi Mu and continued to speak.
"Yes." Lu Ping replied calmly. Zi Mu, however, looked flattered. Yu Hengxing, one of the Beidou Seven Academicians, could actually call his name. This surprise made him forget all his previous worries and fears.
"Let's take a look." Li Yaotian didn't say anything to Lu Ping and Zi Mu. He turned around and motioned to Jin Qi to check the three corpses.
Jin Qi nodded, walked to the first corpse, bent down and uncovered the white cloth. The first thing that caught his eye was a face full of surprise and unwilling to rest in peace.
A trace of sadness flashed across Jin Qi's face. After all, this was a classmate he spent time with day and night. He silently mourned for a few seconds, then removed the white cloth downwards, and immediately saw the fatal wound at the heart of the corpse.
There was only one injury, accurate and fatal. The deceased left no trace of resistance and was killed by this blow.
Who is so strong?
Countless names floated through Jin Qi's mind. He was very familiar with the deceased's classmates. There were not too many people in Beidou Academy who could make him unable to resist and die by surprise. But not a lot.
Or maybe it was an opponent that he didn't expect at all, so he was unprepared, and that's why he died in such surprise and unwillingness?
Another name popped into Jin Qi's mind. A list of students who were close to the deceased.
Then, Jin Qi's right hand was applied to the wound of the deceased, and the power of soul was explored into the wound. Did this fatal blow leave any information in the wound?
No.
Jin Qi checked twice carefully and found a fatal wound. There is no remaining power or other information.
He shook his head, stood up, gently covered the dead man's face with the white cloth, and then came to the second dead body.
This time, the deceased even had a smile on his face, and seemed to have died in a very happy situation.
how so? Jin Qi completely opened the white cloth and looked for wounds, but found nothing all over his body. Jin Qi thought, and quickly put his fingers on the deceased's lips. The power of soul detected the traces in his mouth.
It's poison.
Colorless and odorless Wushuang is completely impossible for ordinary people to guard against, but for cultivators, there are many ways to identify Wushuang with the ability of Shu Zhiso, just like Jin Qi used this method It's like you can tell the poison by just putting your fingers on the other person's lips.
It's just that the deceased, with his pivot soul's ability, just couldn't do anything to Wu Shuang. The murderer chose this poison to make him die without realizing it with a smile. He obviously knew the deceased's abilities very well.
There is such a relationship with him... The network of relationships began to flash in Jin Qi's mind again. And while comparing it with the two previously selected lists, he walked to the third corpse.
The deceased had no obvious emotion on his face. However, consistent with the previous two, there was no sign of resistance or fight back. His fatal wound was in his waist. Jin Qi's investigation found nothing. Among the three deceased, this one had less information.
but……
Jin Qi's fingers did not leave the wound immediately. He did not find any remaining information about the murderer, but he sensed something unusual.
"This wound..." Jin Qi turned around and found something in the wound. It couldn't be said to be information about the murderer, but it was at least something unusual. He didn't know if the four people who had arrived at the scene had noticed it. But this time when he turned around, he saw that the four of them were looking at him very seriously, waiting for his answer.
"It seems to have been treated a little bit," Jin Qi said.
"What to do?" Li Yaotian asked.
"The blood in the wound has coagulated, and the degree of death and necrosis is slightly inconsistent." Jin Qi said.
"What's the reason?" Li Yaotian asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe he wanted to confuse some information, or maybe his power didn't control the accidents he created?" Jin Qi wasn't sure either.
"Cunjing." Li Yaotian suddenly said.
"Cunjing?" Jin Qi was stunned.
"You should be familiar with it. This power is often used in the medicinal kitchen. Almost everyone here knows it." Li Yaotian said.
"Yes." Jin Qi nodded. Cunjing may have the ability to keep medicines fresh to a considerable extent. Whether making or storing medicines, Cunjing is often used to adjust the state of medicines in the herbal kitchen.
"What will happen if Cunjing is used on people, such as wounds?" Li Yaotian asked.
"It will slow down the death of the wound and can be used as a temporary treatment method." Jin Qi answered truthfully.
"At the same time, it will also lead to misjudgment of the time when the wound occurred." Li Yaotian said.
"Yes." Jin Qi nodded.
"When did you do the two corpses before?" Li Yaotian asked.
"Three hours ago." Jin Qi said.
"So what about this one whose wound condition was changed by Cunjing?" Li Yaotian asked.
"It's hard to say. Cunjing's performance failed a little, and the wound was not completely treated. Judging from the traces exposed by the failure, the corpse died about five hours ago. Cunjing's treatment can adjust it. It's a state of necrosis for three hours." Jin Qi knew what Li Yaotian wanted to analyze, so he took advantage of this to continue.
"Then the known information we have now is as follows." Li Yaotian began to list, "The murderer should have known all three deceased people, or even been very familiar with them; the murderer was proficient in pharmacology, and knew clearly that the second deceased was unable to distinguish turnips; The murderer needs to change the time of death, and the purpose of doing so is usually to give himself a sufficient alibi, and he uses the superpower storage essence that everyone in the Tianquan Peak Medicinal Kitchen uses."
"Through these three points, have you thought of anyone suspicious?" Li Yaotian asked.
"Yes." Jin Qi nodded.
"who is it?"
"Me." Jin Qi smiled bitterly.
