Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 168
"It's like a case. Once one is solved, another one comes. As long as people's hearts are not old, there will always be endless cases!"

Qin Zhao smiled and took Luo Ning's hand:
"Forgot your original oath? Find out the truth, restore the facts, and give the victim a result!"

Sure enough, Luo Ning perked up when he heard this:

"After I get married, I want to stay in Dali Temple. Is that okay?"

Qin Zhao looked at his Master Luo, affectionately:

"Do what you love and I will always be behind you!"

There is no more beautiful love words than this, is there?

Returning to Dali Temple, Luo Ning analyzed several of his speculations with the officials.

Song Zhuer asked:

"Sir, is the second lady Wu Ying okay?"

"We can't draw conclusions yet!"

"Sir, do you think there is something wrong with her?" Wei Yan asked.

Luo Ning smiled:

"Judging from the time when Wu Bo was poisoned, Ma Mansion is more suspicious than the little girl from Baihualou!"

"But when I investigated Wu Bo yesterday, I didn't find any interaction between him and Mr. Ma, which would allow Mr. Ma to kill him!" Meng Xiao said.

"We can investigate this question again. Now we have two directions. First, the second wife Wu Ying, and second, the housekeeper of the Ma family!"

"Sir, Wu Ying is pregnant. Do you think there is a problem in this regard?"

Yao Huan thought of the direction Luo Ning proposed.

"Yao Sizhi is right. Anyone who murders his own husband must be an enemy of his husband or have an affair!" Luo Ning said:

"Yao Sizhi, go check the people around Wu Ying, and also go to Wu Ying's parents' house to find out. Wu Ying's pregnancy is a breakthrough!"

Just as he was talking, a government official from Jingzhao Mansion ran in with a file:

"Lord Luo, Dong Wuzuo asked me to hand over this autopsy report to you immediately!"

Luo Ning took it and opened it, feeling horrified.

What's going on with this case?

The crowd gathered around.

Dong Wuzuo wrote in the autopsy report:
Mr. Ma Rui found no signs of poisoning and no external injuries on his body. It is suspected that he died suddenly due to an old heart disease.

"How is this going?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Meng Sizhi, go and ask about the medical officer who treated Mr. Ma yesterday. What happened yesterday?"

"Wei Sizhi and Zhu'er will visit the people around Wu Bo again, and they will definitely find out the relationship between Wu Bo and Mr. Ma."

Everyone was ordered to go out, and Luo Ning opened all the files.

"The key to the case lies in the Ma Mansion. Do you want to visit the Ma Mansion now?" Qin Zhao asked.

"There's no rush now. It won't be too late for us to go after everyone gets the investigation results back. Now, I need to rearrange the time of the case!"

Luo Ning took out his pen and ink and took notes while reading the files, half talking to himself and half telling Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao understood that this was Mr. Luo's habit of finding out the clues between them after gathering the clues.

"Now we have a very clear timeline. Wu Bo died of poisoning. The murderer, as expected, is in Ma Mansion!"

Qin Zhao ticked off Luo Ning's timeline to express his agreement. This warm little gesture made Luo Ning amused.

"Wu Bo was poisoned, Master Ma suddenly suffered from an old illness, and two people who were supposed to meet died one after another. Wu Bo accidentally went to Master Ma's house, so the person who poisoned him..."

"It was intended to poison Master Ma's tea, but Wu Bo accidentally drank it!"

Qin Zhao followed Luo Ning's train of thought and continued his analysis.

"Dong Wuzuo originally said that the dose of Wu Bo's poison was not large and that the person who poisoned him didn't want to kill him. It seems that the person who poisoned Ma Mansion didn't want to kill anyone either!"

Luo Ning wrote as he spoke:

"You didn't want to cause any harm, but you still poisoned me. Mr. Qin, who do you think was responsible for this poison?"

"The people in the Ma Mansion who can serve Master Ma with tea and water are probably not ordinary maids or servants. Not just anyone can enter the Master's study!"

"Ok!"

Luo Ning looked out the window and stopped talking. Qin Zhao knew that she was thinking.

"I have to meet both the housekeeper and the maid Xiaoying. These two people are the key points of the case."

Luo Ning finally said:

"If Wu Ying had not lied, she should have been the one who was poisoned. The murderer's purpose was not Mr. Ma, but Wu Ying."

When everyone returned from the investigation, Luo Ning's reasoning was verified.

Yao Sizhi is responsible for investigating Wu Ying's personality.

Wu Ying married into the Ma family as an equal wife and was 12 years younger than Mr. Ma.

There are many Zhuangzi outside Ma Rui City, and they are famous large households far and wide.

Although Wu Ying is the daughter of a merchant, she is also gentle and elegant, which makes Master Ma very popular.

Ma Rui's family was well off, and Wu Ying was loved. Although the age difference was too big, they felt at ease and lived a good life.

The surrounding neighbors and her parents' family have investigated and found nothing out of the ordinary about Wu Ying, so she can be ruled out as a suspect.

Wu Ying's child is indeed Mr. Ma's.

Luo Ning remembered Wu Ying's sad look when he saw her. It seemed that she showed her true feelings. As she said, she was pregnant with Master Ma's child, so why did she kill him?
Meng Sizhi went to investigate the medical officer who issued the death certificate, and the news he brought back was surprising and surprising.

The certificate issued by the medical clinic was that he had a heart disease, and the whole government knew that the master had a heart disease and took medicine on weekdays. The medical officer did not know about the poisoning.

Luo Ning nodded, so that the points of the case had been put together, and it was no longer messy and clueless.

Wei Sizhi and Song Zhuer went to investigate the relationship between Wu Bo and Master Ma, and found clues about this in Ma's Mansion.

The two met at Ma Laoye Zhuangzi, and Wu Bo would bring his friends there to stay for a while from time to time. Speaking of which, the two were not too familiar with each other.

The young man next to Master Ma said that Wu Bo was looking for Master Ma this time because he wanted to bring his friends to Zhuangzi for a short stay in two days.

Looking at it this way, it also rules out that there is any grudge between the two people. Master Ma killed Wu Bo.

Finally, Luo Ning picked up his own case reasoning:
"Now that the two cases are merged into one case, we can be sure that Wu Bo drank the arsenic by coincidence. As for whether Ma's house is going to kill Mr. Ma or the second wife, I have to go to Ma's house to have a look!"

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao came to Ma Mansion. White flags had been hung inside. The maids and servants were all wearing mourning clothes and looking downcast.

Luo Ning handed over the name card, and a middle-aged man walked out. He was short in stature and strong in build. He had a smile on his face and looked very gentle.

Luo Ning couldn't imagine that this person would be the mastermind of this matter?

"Hello adults, I am Liu Cheng, the housekeeper of Ma Mansion."

"Steward Liu, the evidence in Mr. Ma's case is conclusive, but we still have to act according to the rules. I have a few questions for maid Xiaoying. Is there any problem with Steward Liu?"

"No problem, no problem!" Liu Cheng didn't doubt it.

Then he asked someone to call Xiaoying.

"Steward Liu, if something happens to the master now, what will happen to the business of Ma Mansion?"

Luo Ning asked casually.

"Haha, the eldest lady will take care of it alone."

"There are no heirs in the house?"

"Yes, the eldest lady has never been pregnant."

It turned out to be the case.

"That's it, that's a pity, the second lady happens to be pregnant, and you still think that there will be successors in your Ma family!
Liu Cheng smiled and said:

"She killed the master. Such a femme fatale deserves to go to hell!"
