Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 36 No Evidence
Luo Ning thought about it and glanced at Song Zhuer again:

"Zhu'er, I'll ask Meng Si to take you back later. Tell Mr. Song to send a few government officials to guard the city gate tomorrow morning."

Then he said to Meng Xiao: "Let's set out early tomorrow and take his apprentice to the city gate to identify him. As soon as his master enters the city, he will be arrested in Dali Temple."

On the second day, everyone took their positions according to the arrangement. Before noon, there was good news that Han Ming had caught him.

Qin Zhao, Jingzhao Governor Song Qingsong, and widower Dong Mingfeng all rushed to Dali Temple after hearing the news.

Everyone knows that Han Ming is probably the murderer. What does he look like?Why so cruel?What grudge does he have against Xiao Qi?

Without wasting any time, Luo Ning immediately interrogated Han Ming in the Dali Temple Prison.

"What's your name?"

"Han Ming."

"Do you know why I took you to Dali Temple?"

"I'm not sure, please let me know."

Everyone looked carefully and saw that Han Ming was a tall man, about 20 years old, wearing common clothes. Although his style was ordinary, he was very neat and clean. From the appearance, Han Ming was just an ordinary brother next door.

Facing everyone at this moment, Han Ming looked calm. Although he did not have an outstanding appearance, he had decent looks and skills. He must be a good candidate for a son-in-law among ordinary people.

Luo Ning calculated in his heart that if Han Ming was the murderer, he could only verify one sentence: people should not be judged by their appearance.

"Han Ming, what do you do for a living?"

"Slaughtering pigs, cattle, sheep and the like."

"Where do you live?"

"Jiuli Lane in the south of the city."

Luo Ning winked at Yao Sizhi, and Yao Sizhi turned around and walked out.

Luo Ning picked up Xiao Qi's portrait: "Do you know this person?"

Han Ming raised his head and glanced at the portrait, then lowered his head: "I don't know!"

Qin Zhao found that he was extremely calm and even indifferent to the portrait. Could it be... wasn't he?

Dong Mingfeng pointed to the file and motioned to Luo Ning. Luo Ning then asked: "How do you separate the parts of cattle and sheep when they are usually slaughtered?"

Han Ming hesitated: "There are special knives..."

"You are the best butcher in Anyang City, and your skills are unmatched. How long have you been doing this job?"

"This butchering craft is passed down from generation to generation and also depends on personal luck. I started learning from the master when I was eleven or twelve years old. It has been seven or eight years now."

"In seven or eight years... you have thousands of cattle and sheep, right?"

Han Ming showed a proud smile: "More than a thousand, my craftsmanship is the best. It only takes half an hour to separate a whole pig. More than half of the cattle and sheep in Anyang City are in my hands."

Dong Mingfeng nodded to Luo Ning after hearing this.

“Where are the wastes disposed of from the slaughterhouse in the south of the city thrown?”

Luo Ning has been wondering, where did Han Ming get Xiao Qi's remaining body?

"Generally, there are only bits and pieces left, and there is no need to deal with them. Everything that can be sold is sold. If there are some that cannot be sold, the people nearby will come to pick some up."

"Are you from Jinzhou?"

"Yes, my ancestral home is Jinzhou."

"Why come to Anyang City?"

Han Ming raised his head and glanced at Luo Ning. He suddenly realized something and kept silent. No matter what he asked next, he would only answer "I don't know. I don't know."

The interrogation stalled.

Now even though Luo Ning knew that Han Ming was most likely responsible for the case, he denied it completely. Dali Temple wanted to arrest someone. Where is the evidence?
Han Ming was sent to the Dali Temple Prison.

Luo Ning looked at everyone and said helplessly: "Han Ming is a smart man. Because of his intelligence, it is even more confirmed that he did the case."

"Let's go to the slaughterhouse to find clues. Although more than ten days have passed, Xiao Qi's body has not been found yet." Song Qingsong suggested.

"In addition, there are tools for committing crimes. Han Ming's words are consistent with the shape of the knife edge for autopsy. It can be cut in a short time and completed within half an hour. He is probably the only person in Anyang City who can do this." Dong Wuzuo sighed deeply.

"We had no choice but to go straight to Rongli Lane to see if we could find Lu Shuangxue."

Luo Ning's current hope is on Yao Sizhi. She hopes that Lu Shuangxue will be the breakthrough in this case.

Luo Ning said to Qin Zhao who was about to leave: "Master Qin, Lu Shuangxue is the key. Spread Internet cafes widely, especially in the south of the city."

Seeing her tired face, Qin Zhao felt distressed: "Don't worry, I will try my best."

Luo Ning brought the people from Dali Temple to the slaughterhouse, and Mr. Song from Jingzhao Mansion also sent government servants over, and everyone started searching.

One is a body and the other is a murder weapon, although the hope of finding evidence is still very slim.

All the people in the slaughterhouse came to ask questions, and Luo Ning found out that there were only two people taking turns guarding the place on weekdays. There was no time for slaughtering, so the place was deserted.

There are only a few skilled masters in Anyang City, and Han Ming is one of them, but everyone's understanding of him is limited to daily interactions, and the rest is really unclear.

"If the body is hidden here or...where do you think it will be hidden?" Luo Ning asked one of the older people.

"here?"

The person who asked the question was a little scared, so this happened?No wonder all the adults come here:

"It's nothing... Sir, look, the slaughterhouse is very empty. Let's finish our work and leave here."

Indeed, the slaughterhouse is just an open space in the south of the city near the city gate.

There is a small river not far away, and except for the thatched room where the knives are kept, the slaughter is done outdoors.

So if Han Ming killed Xiao Qi here, someone would definitely find it during the day, but what about at night?If Xiao Qi had not been killed here, there must have been another scene.

It's tricky.

"Can you do any work tonight?"

"Generally not."

At this time, the government officials and Dali eunuchs all came back and shook their heads. Everything was back to the original point.

Just as Luo Ning was thinking about the next step, a royal guard came over on horseback: "Master Luo, there is good news..."

Luo Ning watched him dismount and hurriedly greeted him: "But Lu Shuangxue has been found?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin has taken people to Dali Temple and asked me to look for you."

"That's great, how did you find it?"

"We took the portrait to the market entrance and asked, and Aunt Xiang, who sells eggs, happened to recognize her. Lu Shuangxue often buys vegetables here, and Aunt Xiang knew her address. Yao Sizhi happened to be there when we passed by."

"Yes, we captured Han Ming and want to try our luck at his house."

"When we passed by, there was no one at home. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lu Shuangxue was caught as soon as she walked in."

"Come on, let's go back."

When Luo Ning saw Lu Shuangxue for the first time, she could only feel in nine words: She was beautiful, but as weak as a willow.

Lu Shuangxue is not tall and is a well-proportioned girl. Like Han Ming, she wears ordinary clothes but is neat and clean. She is twenty-eight years old, has a delicate face, and is very pale.

She was very smart, which was what Luo Ning felt from her eyes and expression. Moreover, not only was she smart, Luo Ning also saw the faint provocation towards herself in Lu Shuangxue's eyes.

Luo Ning was looking at Lu Shuangxue, and Lu Shuangxue was also looking at Luo Ning.

She had four words to say about Luo Ning: She is outstanding.

Is this the legendary female explorer?The youngest minister of Dali Temple in Zhao Kingdom?The appearance is outstanding, and the beauty is also combined with stability and wisdom.

Qin Zhao had been looking at Luo Ning and felt something unusual between her and Lu Shuangxue. Qin Zhao quickly stood next to Luo Ning.

Lu Shuangxue saw it, stared at Qin Zhao for a while, and then lowered her head.

Hearing the news, Song Qingsong rushed to Dali Temple, and just as he was walking in, everyone gathered together again, wondering if there would be a breakthrough in the case this time.

"Are you Lu Shuangxue?" Luo Ning spoke first.

"It's a little girl."

"Do you know why I invited you to Dali Temple?"

Lu Shuangxue smiled: "It must be Xiao Qi's business."

When Song Qingsong heard this, his heart sank. All suspects who took the initiative to answer questions were mostly prepared.

Is Lu Shuangxue prepared?Then interrogation would be difficult.

Luo Ning also smiled when he heard Lu Shuangxue's words: "Okay, tell me what happened to Xiao Qi?"

Qin Zhao admired Master Luo for asking a good question, and Luo Ning's thinking was indeed better.

Lu Shuangxue really didn't expect Luo Ning to ask such a question, and she laughed even wider:
"The relationship between me and Xiao Qi must be known to adults, so I expected that Dali Temple and Jin Yiwei would look for me like this."

"Oh? What happened to Xiao Qi? Do you think we are looking for you!"

"This..." Lu Shuangxue was speechless.

What if Xiao Qi died?
Not only Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and Jinyiwei never leaked the news. Even if they took the portrait to find someone, no one knew that Xiao Qi was dead.

If Xiao Qi is alive.

So Lu Shuangxue could only say that she was separated from him and didn't know his whereabouts. Since she didn't know his whereabouts, what did Dali Temple do with her?

Everyone couldn't help but praise Luo Ning from the bottom of their hearts. As expected, Lord Luo is still the most powerful.

"Xiao Qi is dead!" Luo Ning suddenly said this and stared at Lu Shuangxue.

Lu Shuangxue blinked: "Oh."

Luo Ning was certain that Lu Shuangxue and Han Ming had no doubt killed Xiao Qi.

Even after hearing the news of Xiao Qi's death, Lu Shuangxue was so calm. No one would believe that she had anything to do with Xiao Qi's death.

But what about the evidence?Where's the body?Luo Ning frowned.

"Tell me about Xiao Qi. When did you get to know him?"

"a year ago."

"When will we live together?"

"half year ago."

"When will we separate?"

"Two months ago."

"Where did he go after we separated? Where did you go?"

"He went home and I left."

"Where did you leave?"

"Chengnan...lives with Han Ming..."

"Han Ming has been taken to the Dali Temple Prison. Don't you have anything to say?"

Lu Shuangxue smiled: "I didn't expect Master Luo to be really capable, but we didn't do anything! What do you want me to say?"

After saying that, he raised his head, smiled, and stared at Luo Ning with his beautiful peach blossom eyes:

"I heard that you are very capable, but you can't accuse people unjustly. Find the evidence, otherwise Xiao Qi and I will have nothing to do with each other."

Yes, evidence, what is stuck in Luoning's head is evidence.

Luo Ning stared at her: "Tell me about your relationship with Xiao Qi."

"We were just ordinary lovers, but we broke up later. I don't think there is anything we can say."

"Then let's talk about your relationship with Han Ming. Is there anything you can talk about?"

Lu Shuangxue smiled: "Han Ming? We have known each other since childhood. After I came to Anyang City, I separated from Han Ming."
