Six-Fingered, Chai Xian?

This was the first thought that flashed through Xu Qi ‘an’s mind. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he was unable to think calmly.

A few seconds later, he calmed down, took a deep breath, and carefully examined Chai Jianyuan.

The sixth toe was obviously deformed and stuck to the little toe. It was ugly and unsightly.

He touched Chai Jianyuan’s face to confirm that he was not in disguise. There were other ways to judge a corpse’s age besides the most direct way of looking at it.

For example, the skin, bones, teeth, and so on. The difference between middle-aged and young people was very big.

For an experienced Xu Qi ‘an, it was not difficult to identify the body.

it’s really Chai Jianyuan. He also has six toes. Interesting …

Xu Qi ‘an pried open the corpse’s mouth. After looking at the teeth, he snorted.

Chai Xian had six toes, and so did Chai Jianyuan. Was it a coincidence?

“Chai Jianyuan only has one adopted son, Chai Xian. Chai Xian is an orphan, and his father has no relationship with Chai Jianyuan. On the other hand, Chai Jianyuan had a son and a daughter, but only one adopted son. This meant that he did not have the hobby of taking in many adopted sons.

“It’s not a big deal at first, you can understand it as Chai Jianyuan and Chai Xian getting along well, but both of them have six fingers, which is very interesting.

“According to Chai Xing ‘er and the rest of the chai estate, Chai Jianyuan is adamant in not agreeing to Chai Xian’s request and is insistent on marrying Chai LAN off to the Huangfu clan. Although the idea of maximizing benefits was reasonable.

“But it’s also reasonable to marry the daughter to the foster son and let the foster son work for the chai family. It was common to marry a daughter to an adopted son or a beloved disciple.

“But what if this adopted son is an illegitimate child?

“If Chai Xian is Chai Jianyuan’s foster son, they both have six toes. Such an obvious feature can’t be hidden from everyone. Did Chai Xing ‘er know that Chai Xian was Chai Jianyuan’s illegitimate son?

“If she knew, then she killed her brother and framed Chai Xian, killing two birds with one stone. If the plot continues, Chai Xian will definitely become the successor of the chai family and the head of the chai family.”

Just as Xu Qi ‘an’s reasoning was getting better, he suddenly realized an unreasonable BUG.

wait, if Chai Xian is Chai Jianyuan’s illegitimate son, then there’s no need for Chai Jianyuan to hide it. So what if a powerful huajin warrior and the head of the family has an illegitimate son?

“It can be made public openly, there’s no need to hide it. The forces of the martial world were not like the tyrants and Noble families that paid attention to red tape. They had to consider etiquette, integrity, and reputation.

“Unless there’s some reason that forced Chai Jianyuan to hide Chai Xian’s birth.

“Chai Xian definitely doesn’t know about his background, otherwise he wouldn’t have fallen for his own sister. And if he knew, then the motive of ‘for love’ did not exist.

“Therefore, as long as we meet Chai Xian and ask him if he knows about his background, we can basically determine the murderer of Chai Jianyuan.”

As he muttered, he took out the fragment of the book of the nether world and gently tapped the back.

The peace blade came out of the mirror world and made a buzzing sound, conveying a sense of both grievance and excitement.

Then, it automatically left the scabbard, and the tip of the knife Hit Xu Qi ‘an’s back with a ” ding ding ding ” sound to express its enthusiasm.

“Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, it hurts ….

Xu Qi ‘an held the handle of the knife, pressed the tip of the knife against Chai Jianyuan’s throat, and cut it open.

Chai Jianyuan had been refined into an iron corpse. If he wanted to be dissected, he would need a peerless divine weapon like the peace saber to accurately and sharply cut open his skin and flesh.

The reason why he dissected Chai Jianyuan was that he suspected that Chai Jianyuan had been poisoned before his death.

There were two reasons for this-first, the chai family did not have a rank-4.

No matter if it was Chai Xian, Chai Jianyuan, or Chai Xing ‘er, they were all rank-5 neutral jing.

As everyone knew, martial artists were known for their endurance. Even if they were to launch a sneak attack, it would be very difficult to kill the other party in a short time.

If the battle couldn’t be resolved quickly, the experts in the chai residence would definitely react in an instant. Therefore, there wouldn’t be a situation where the clan head was killed by Chai Xian when they rushed to the study room.

Second, Chai Jianyuan had many injuries.

Chai Jianyuan had indeed not been killed instantly. After a careful examination, other than the fatal wound in his heart, Chai Jianyuan had many hidden injuries on his body.

This proved that he had experienced an extremely intense battle before he died.

Then, under what circumstances would the battle be so intense that it would end so quickly?

A one-sided beating.

Chai Jianyuan had almost no power to fight back. He was attacked one-sided, and his defense was soon broken through. He died under the murderer’s butcher’s knife.

The reasonable explanation was that Chai Jianyuan had been poisoned.

The dark red flesh was cut open. After checking the throat, there were no obvious signs of poisoning.

Hence, he cut open the stomach and finally found something.

There was a slightly black substance left in Chai Jianyuan’s stomach, which was more like a reaction between toxins and stomach acid.

Xu Qi ‘an did a preliminary analysis with the ability of the miasma, but he could only analyze the composition of three poisonous herbs. It had been too long, and he could not analyze more.

These three types of poisonous grass had hallucinating and numbing effects.

“Compound poison, it’s quite advanced. In this era’s pharmaceutical level, compound poison is basically a simple and crude mixture of several poisons. This would inevitably produce a smell and color. No matter what kind of poison was used, it would not be able to hide from a martial artist’s sense of danger and keen sense of smell and taste.

“This poison should be colorless and tasteless. Ordinary people can’t refine poison of this level. Only two professions can, Warlock and poison Gu master. By the way, Chai Xing ‘er had implanted a love Gu in li lingsu’s body..
