I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 19: Seems Like I Said the Wrong Thing

"When not now, then when to brew (tea)?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Su Tan couldn't help but be taken aback.

For a moment, she felt that what Xiao Jin said made sense. After all, if the corpse was left in the dark room for too long, it was inevitable that it would decay and produce a putrid smell.

At this time, brewing a cup of honeysuckle tea would be great. However, if it was Xiao Jin who suggested it, it would seem unreasonable.

The reason was simple: Xiao Jin seemed like a mysterious and unpredictable person who didn't follow the rules.

Ever since Xiao Jin stood outside the door and made Su Tan put away her silver needle as if she knew what was going to happen, she felt that this person was not only very mysterious but also very dangerous.

Therefore, she had always been wary of Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin didn't know that Su Tan had such a high opinion of her. If she knew, she would probably be a little proud.

After all, in the original novel, Su Tan was a strange person.

She was not only a famous doctor in Yao country who had cured countless common people, but after the country was destroyed, she also became a killer and detoxification assistant to the male lead in the later part of the story.

Using poison was not terrifying, and knowing how to detoxify was not a divine skill either.

Killing and saving people at the same time was the real cruelty.

Two people who thought of each other as not being good people met each other's gaze for a moment in the air before simultaneously looking away and going about their own business.

One holding a cup of honeysuckle tea, the other holding a silver knife, both silently thinking in their hearts: something is strange.

Chu Shao held the tea brewed from honeysuckle flowers, and the mist rising from the cup blurred her eyes.

But even after the tea had cooled, she only smiled slightly, as if she had no intention of drinking it.

Because Chu Shao had been observing the corpse lying on the white cloth.

From Su Tan's initial dissection until now, she found that the other party had started from the throat, followed by the back of the neck, heart, and abdomen.

However, a crucial point was missed.

When investigating the cause of the assassin's death, a hint of doubt appeared on Su Tan's face: "The sword wounds on this person's body are extremely small, leaving only a shallow blood mark on the trachea. He died immediately without being poisoned, so it should be a master of swordsmanship who killed him."

Xiao Jin held a teacup, with no expression on her face.

She invited the second female lead to help with the autopsy, not to reenact the scene. She was the person involved, and of course, she understood all these scenes. Was there a need to repeat them?

"But what makes me wonder is that, in terms of the precision of this person's swordsmanship, he must have wielded his sword tens of thousands of times to achieve such a level. However, it is said that on the day when the prince was assassinated, there were no other people present except for more than ten guards, and it is not known where this master came from."

Su Tan looked at Xiao Jin with a questioning expression, but strangely found that Xiao Jin was staring mysteriously at Chu Shao.

She was puzzled and turned her head to look at Chu Shao, only to see that she seemed unmoved and was still observing the body lying on the white cloth.
