Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 50 Coveting Mrs. Chen
Luo Ning stood behind Qin Zhao and listened to his sentence to judge Wu Sheng.

His style was different from his own, and Wu Sheng was very scared.

"Tell me, where are you today, Tatsuki?"

"My lord, I'm really in the shop!"

"where do you live?"

"Just behind the store."

"Why do you hate Chen Sheng?"

"I'm jealous of him"

"Where do you start?"

"His business is better than mine, he makes more money than me, and his wife is also beautiful."

"How is Mr. Chen?"

"Very shrewd."

“How come you see?”

"The soybeans in our tofu shops are the cost, but Chen Sheng can always find the best beans and keep the prices very low. When we tofu shops want to buy them again, either the beans are gone or the prices are low. The price is gone, and nothing good will happen anyway.”

Luo Ning thought, doing business requires some skills, but if you do it well, you will be more likely to be jealous of your peers.

"You hate Chen Sheng?"

"a bit"

"You want to kill him?"

"No, sir, I don't dare either."

"Who do you think killed Chen Sheng? Who else hates him?"

"Dong Lang, who lives next door to Chen Sheng's house, sir, he has liked Chen's sister-in-law for a long time and has been entangled with her for a long time. Chen Sheng has always been dissatisfied with him and even found someone to beat him up!"

Another helpful clue. Qin Zhao looked at Luo Ning.

Both of them felt that Wu Sheng was a drinker and had a somewhat submissive personality, not as calm as the murderer.

Moreover, Wu Sheng was fat. After committing the murder at Chen Sheng's house, the murderer handled the scene calmly and calmly. He had to complete everything within an hour. Wu Sheng did not have these physical conditions.

Luo Ning nodded to Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao understood, stood up, drew out the Xiuchun knife, waved it towards the sky a few times, and slowly put it into the scabbard.

"Honestly, if you think of something, go to Beizhen Fusi to find me!"

Wu Sheng and his assistant were so frightened that they opened their mouths wide and nodded frequently. After Qin Zhao left, they still didn't recover.

After walking out of Wu Sheng's tofu shop, Luo Ning laughed happily, and the depression of the morning disappeared:

"Master Qin, you are so powerful!"

Qin Zhao puffed out his chest: "I just don't like Wu Sheng, what about it? Can you rule him out as a suspect?"

"Well, Wu Sheng was so frightened by your Xiuchundao that he didn't dare to show his anger. He doesn't have the strong heart to kill people. Besides, the time doesn't match. Even if he hates Chen Sheng, he won't kill him."

Seeing noon, Qin Zhao asked Luo Ning: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Luo Ning shook his head: "Let's go meet Mr. Dong first, and then return to Dali Temple. It is estimated that Wei Sizhi and Yao Sizhi will also come back, and we will study the case together."

Returning to Dabei Alley again, the people in front of Chen Sheng's house had dispersed. The quiet streets did not look like a cruel murder had occurred.

It is always like this, after the storm there is calm, and sometimes there is a rainbow. What happened has happened, and only the person involved is still immersed in grief.

People come and go, everything will dissipate, and the wind will disperse without leaving a trace.

Chen Sheng's house has been surrounded by hemp ropes, and a government official is guarding the door. Seeing Qin Zhao approaching, he saluted. Qin Zhao waved his hand, pointed in front, and walked directly over with Luo Ning.

The door of Dong Lang's house was open, and Luo Ning thought to himself: The people are still very relieved about the security of Anyang City, and many people do not close their doors at night.

She also hopes that under the protection of the emperor and all officials, the people can live in peace of mind and trust each other.

"Dong Lang..."

No sound.

Qin Zhao took out the embroidered spring knife and guarded Luo Ning tightly behind him: "Is Dong Lang at home?"

Still no sound.

Qin Zhao turned back to Luo Ning and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."

Luo Ning nodded and had no intention of looking back. A bulging thing was in the corner of the dry firewood, with faint traces of blood on the edge.

Luo Ning grabbed Qin Zhao and pointed.

Qin Zhao strode over, picked it up with the tip of the knife, and a dagger suddenly appeared. What was even more frightening was that the dagger was wrapped in a bloody suit and trousers.

There is no doubt that Dong Lang is the suspect.

Luo Ning was waiting in the yard, while Qin Zhao walked into the room and tied up Dong Lang who was sleeping soundly.

Dong Lang is tall and tall, which fits Luo Ning's suspicion of the murderer. He is a neighbor of Chen Sheng, so he has the time to commit the crime and has found physical evidence.

It's just that the physical evidence appears too weird, and it doesn't look like something the murderer who planned Zhou Xiang could do.

After hearing that Mr. Luo had arrested the suspect and found physical evidence, all the officials of Dali Temple ran back.

In order to confirm Dong Lang's suspicion, Song Qingsong also sent Dong Wu's autopsy report.

Luo Ning couldn't wait for the trial to start. After everyone was seated, he hurriedly ordered Dong Lang to be brought over.

Taking advantage of the break, Luo Ning looked through the autopsy report made by Dong Wu and gained a better understanding of Dong Lang's murder process.

Autopsies showed that all four members of the Chen family died of very brutal stab wounds.

There were at least 20 wounds on each child's body (including the head), all of which were caused by the murderer's repeated stabbing with a knife.

Based on these injuries, Dong Wuzuo concluded that the murder weapon was probably a kitchen knife or a dagger.

There is no doubt that Dong Yuzuo was right, and what Dong Lang's family found was a dagger.

Dong Wuzuo also discovered that Chen Da might have wanted to protect Chen Er and had tried to fight the murderer, leaving many resistance wounds. However, after all, there was a disparity in strength and the child's right arm was almost severed.

The good news is that Dong Yuzuo was in one of his hands, and he was found clutching a handful of black hair that was suspected to belong to the murderer...

This is really great, I am not afraid that Dong Lang will not admit it when the time comes.

This was the first time for Luo Ning to face the murderer's cruel behavior, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred, as Wei Sizhi said:
I really want to cut the murderer into pieces!
Dong Lang was brought up, and everyone looked at him angrily.

Although the case has not yet been closed, everyone is also an ordinary person, and no one can remain calm in the face of the murderer's murderous behavior.

"What's your name?"

"Dong Lang"

"The bloody clothes and dagger were found in the yard just now. How do you explain it?"

"I have no idea!"

"Why are you still sleeping on Rishang Sangan?"

"I wasn't at home last night. I went to a relative's house in the next village. I got up early and went on the road. When I came back, I started to sleep."

Not only Luo Ning, everyone was stunned.

"Who are your relatives? Where do you live?"

"Dong Qi, I'm in Dongjia Village outside Anyang City. I just went home a few hours ago today. I didn't know until I walked to the door that something happened to Chen Sheng's family!"

Luo Ning motioned to Yao Yuan, but was stopped by Qin Zhao: "Let the Jin Yiwei go and verify it quickly, we can return in half a stick of incense!"

Luo Ning nodded and looked at Dong Lang: "I'll wait for half a stick of incense!"

Instruct Warden Song to take him away first.

Luo Ning looked bad and said to everyone: "I'm afraid this Dong Lang is not the murderer!"

Meng Si walked straight to Luo Ning and whispered: "Sir, I visited the surrounding people this morning. I did find Dong Lang in the crowd and asked questions there, so I didn't enter his yard. I was negligent!"

Luo Ning shook his head: "He wants to hide, but we can't catch him at all. But if it's him, he has a better way to deal with the bloody clothes, but he just leaves them in the yard. It doesn't make sense."

Luo Ning's words made everyone start to rethink, and the possibility that Dong Lang was not the murderer also increased.

"If it wasn't a sudden move, we can't rule out that the murderer was very familiar with Chen Sheng's family's schedule." Luo Ning analyzed the case.

"The door lock was not broken and the children did not call for help, which means they are familiar with the murderer." Qin Zhao tried to analyze.

"Nothing else in the room was destroyed, which shows that the murderer's purpose was very clear," Yao Sizhi said.

"My lord, Meng Sizhi and I visited the neighbors, and found nothing unusual this morning, and we didn't hear a cry for help. Does this mean that the murderer is very familiar with the surrounding environment?" Song Zhuer asked.

Luo Ning nodded: "Zhu'er is right. On the other hand, it is also possible that the neighbors know the murderer. Even if they see him, they will not think he is the murderer. Everyone's attention is on the stranger."

"The murderer was able to accurately find the water basin and clean himself up. He must have come prepared. He was sure that Chen Sheng and his wife would not go home at this time, and also confirmed that he had enough time. He was very clear about the layout of Chen Sheng's family."

"One more thing, if he confirms that he wants to deal with the bloody clothes and put the blame on Dong Lang, it also means that he knows that Dong Lang was definitely not at home last night," Qin Zhao's words woke everyone up.

Then the scope to find the murderer has become very small.

Luo Ning looked at everyone: "We have always focused on strangers, thinking that acquaintances cannot be so cruel, and Chen Sheng and his wife have no enemies. Now it seems that we have to start with the people around them."

At this time, the sound of a horse's neighing came, and Lu Yuan ran all the way in: "Master Qin, Master Luo!"

"How?" Qin Zhao greeted him.

Lu Yuan took a breath: "My lords, Dong Lang was indeed in Dongjia Village last night. His relatives introduced him to a woman. I went to the woman's house to verify that the situation was true!"

"Bring Dong Lang in!" Luo Ning ordered.

Dong Lang was taken to the trial hall of Dali Temple again. Luo Ning looked at him. Dong Lang was not the murderer, but the murderer knew Dong Lang's work and rest time, so he must be someone close to Dong Lang.

"Dong Lang, who knows when you go to Dongjia Village?"

Dong Lang was stunned by these words. Who knew?

"No one knows, the introducer, the woman's family, this is my housework. I live alone and have never told anyone else."

"What do you do for a living?"

"Selling soybeans!"

"I heard that you covet the Chen family's sister-in-law?"

Dong Lang was a little ashamed: "Sister-in-law Chen is beautiful. I live alone, and the two families are neighbors. Occasionally, we will... tease her."

"Then Mr. Chen beat you, do you still hold a grudge?"

"I hate it a bit, but since my relatives agreed to help me introduce women, I have become more honest. Besides, Sister-in-law Chen ignores me and I find it boring."

"Think about it again, when you go home in Chenshi, who will you meet on the way?"

"There was no one there. At that time, most of the people in the west of the city were out doing work, so no strangers were found."

"Can you lock the door when you leave the house?"

"Lock the door? I can't remember that, but even if the door is locked, the key will be placed on the beam. I have a bad memory and often forget the key. Besides, there is nothing valuable at home, so I am too lazy to lock it."

Acquaintances, everything indicates that they are acquaintances. If they had been waiting at Dong Lang's house for Chen Sheng and his wife to go out before entering the house to commit the crime, they would have plenty of time.

After everything was packed up, the murder weapon and bloody clothes were left at Dong Lang's house. So, did the murderer want to blame Dong Lang, or did he not take away the murder weapon in time?
