Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 326 - 137 Peng Shizhong’s Death!5

"Why would he cooperate with and even promote my reputation, claiming that White Tiger Hall must be inherited by none other than myself?"

"It turns out he’s been scheming this whole ti, setting up this grand ga."

"The goal was to mold into an image of a big brother who wholeheartedly cared for his little brother."

"Indeed, with his current over-the-top performance, crying his eyes out, who in Mianshui doesn’t now think Feng Xuan is a good brother, a good son?"

"He really had everything prepared, just waiting for to fall into his trap."

"It has to be said, big brother, you are quite the plotter."

However, Chen Jie still had one thing he didn’t understand: how did Peng Shizhong die?

"The Stone Breaking Hand?"

"Knowing that Peng Shizhong’s strength hasn’t diminished, if one wants to defeat him with the Stone Breaking Hand, it would require soone who is equally an expert with the Stone Breaking Hand, and at the very least, possess the power of Energy Transformation."

"Even Energy Transformation might not be enough. If it was a head-on confrontation, only soone with the strength of Nan Batian could possibly harm Peng Shizhong with the Stone Breaking Hand."

"But now, the fact was that Peng Shizhong was struck dead with a single palm in a very short ti!"

"How was this done?"

At this mont, Chen Jie voiced his doubt for the first ti since the case began.

"Um, now almost all of the evidence points towards the murderer being . I have the motive, the purpose, and even the unique skill, the Stone Breaking Hand, but I just have one question!"

After hearing Chen Jie’s words, everyone looked at him, eager to see how he would explain.

Chen Jie said, "It’s common knowledge that it takes an Energy Transformation Master to kill another of the sa level. I know the Stone Breaking Hand, but my adoptive father was an Energy Transformation Master. How could I, at the Iron Bone Realm, harm him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Yes, you need Energy Transformation strength to harm an Energy Transformation Master. To think of using Iron Bone Realm power to kill an Energy Transformation Master like Peng Shizhong with a single palm blow...

Impossible. It’s simply unachievable.

Even an ordinary Energy Transformation Master couldn’t do it, let alone Nan Batian. To kill an Energy Transformation Master with one palm would at least require a level above Energy Transformation!

At this mont, everyone fell into deep thought. Yes, Chen Jiusi’s strength wasn’t enough.

How could he kill Peng Shizhong? It didn’t make sense; strength was the undeniable issue. No matter how much you reasoned, without the strength, everything is just wild guessing.

Then Qin Ying said, "In the fight with the old beggar, Old Peng was seriously injured. Could it be that his strength had diminished?"

"If his strength had diminished and his wounds had not healed, it wouldn’t be impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Fu raised his head and wiped away his tears, "No, the master’s strength did not diminish, I know."

Everyone still believed Peng Fu’s words, and at that mont, all eyes turned sideways. Could they have been wrong? Was it really not Chen Jiusi’s doing?

Chen Jie himself, however, was not so optimistic. The opponent who set up the plot surely wouldn’t leave such a significant flaw for him.

With this thought, Nan Batian looked at Zhang Liye and said, "Chief Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Liye frowned slightly. He felt as if he was being used by others today, but as a constable, he had to maintain his professional integrity.

Zhang Liye said, "Additionally, I slled a peculiar scent on the body of the deceased. If I’m not mistaken, it should be Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder."

"What? Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder was no ordinary substance—it was a priceless and rare item rumored to have been contributed to the Daqian Royal Family by a Foreign Monk from the Western Regions, which later made its way into the Martial Arts community.

The concoction was difficult to prepare, but its effects were peculiar. Once taken, even an Energy Transformation Master would be rendered completely devoid of Inner Strength, weak and unable to exert any strength, as helpless as an ordinary person.

Upon hearing the na of the drug, everyone’s gaze shifted back to Chen Jie.

If it were Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder, to first disable Peng Shizhong’s Martial Arts and Inner Strength, then a single palm strike to kill, that would certainly be doable. At this mont, almost everyone was convinced it was Chen Jie.

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, realizing that this ti, he was truly at a loss for words.

And then, Zhou Chu stood up and said, "No, that’s not right. Today, my adoptive father didn’t consu anything given by Jiu Si. How could Jiu Si have poisoned him, and besides, to ensure my adoptive father’s safety, all of his food today was handled by Uncle Fu. Would Uncle Fu have conspired with Jiu Si to kill my adoptive father?"

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought again.

Then Feng Xuan continued, "Yes, yes, even if soone did give Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder to my adoptive father, it couldn’t have been Jiu Si. He couldn’t have done it, and besides, Uncle Fu was a brother to my adoptive father, he’d have no reason to harm him!"

"Hmph, Feng Xuan, you’re too soft-hearted, how can you be so foolish? Did Old Peng only eat food given by Peng Fu today? Did that actor not serve Old Peng food and drink?"

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Huadie, who lay slumped on the ground.

Huadie, now clearly frightened, said, "I don’t know, it has nothing to do with !"

Hearing her reply, Qin Ying said, "Unrelated to you? Just because you say it’s unrelated? Co here!"

Qin Ying reached out to grab Huadie, who was startled.

However, in that instant, Nan Batian frowned and waved his sleeve. Qin Ying quickly retreated, then looked at Nan Batian with a puzzled expression.

Nan Batian said, "We must not resort to violence."

Qin Ying responded, "Yes, Gang Leader?"

But his face still showed surprise. Why was this not following the script?

Nan Batian continued, "Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder takes effect imdiately upon ingestion. Tonight, Senior Brother Peng showed no abnormal signs until he t with the young lady alone. Could the young lady give an explanation?"

"I, I didn’t!"

Huadie shook her head, looking pitiable.

Nan Batian said, "Whether you did or didn’t isn’t up to you to decide. Bring her to , and search her!"
