Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 65 The Hui family has a daughter
Luo Ning's heart sank, it was another murder.

"Have you confirmed your identity?"

"Well, it's the boss of Ruyixuan, named Huimei."

"Lady boss?"

Wei Yan nodded.

"Did you watch Dong Wuzuo? What was the cause of death?"

"The fatal injury was on the back of the head, and the other injuries were skin injuries."

"Are there any skin injuries?"

"Well, Dong Wuzuo means it should be fatal after being beaten."

Luo Ning did not dare to delay, and rushed to the scene with Wei Yan.

When arriving at the scene, the body had been placed under a big tree by Dong Wuzuo.

Because the Youpeng Inn broke ground today, there were a lot of people at the scene, and there was a murder case, so the gossip crowd stretched their necks to inquire about the news.

A middle-aged man wearing brocade was crying. Song Qingsong was asking questions at the side. The man had a sad look on his face.

Luo Ning walked over, but the man was still mumbling:

"Sir, what should I do with this inn? What should I do if I exhume the dead? All my money has been lost. Sir, what should I do?"

It turned out to be the owner of Youpeng Inn.

He heard the man's anxiety as he asked what to do. Who could say otherwise? It would be a good idea to expand and exhume the body, but no one would be happy.

"Master Dong, can you estimate the time of death of the victim?" Luo Ning asked Dong Mingfeng.

"It's more than a week, you know it's too long, we can't budget." Dong Mingfeng replied.

Luo Ning asked Song Qingsong again:
"Are you sure the woman is Huimei?"

"Yes, her sister came to identify the body in person. She is definitely Huimei."

After speaking, Song Qingsong pointed to a woman who was being questioned in the distance:
“That’s Huili, Huimei’s biological sister.

Jingzhao Mansion received a report from Hui Li five days ago that her sister was missing, so this morning, she was asked to identify her sister as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, it was Hui Mei herself! "

Luo Ning sighed.

When she walked over, Huili was still crying.

A yamen servant said to Hui Li: "Girl, please stop crying now. Mr. Luo of Dali Temple is here to ask questions. Please cooperate!"

Huili stopped crying.

Luo Ning asked: "Miss Huili, when did you find out that your sister was missing?"

Hui Li wiped her tears and replied: "Five days ago, I came back from Wanzhou, but I couldn't find my sister, so I went to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the official."

"It's just you two sisters on weekdays?"

"Yes, sir, since my father and mother died of illness, we two sisters have been living together."

"You came back from Wanzhou? When did you leave? How long have you been there?"

"We are in the jewelry business in Ruyixuan. I went to Wanzhou to buy a batch of goods, so I left nine days ago and stayed in Wanzhou for four days."

"Did anything happen to Huimei when you left?"

"She was having trouble with her friends."

"What friend?"

"Huimei is the one she proposed to marry, but my sister has been busy with Ruyixuan's business and has not gotten married yet."

"What's that man's surname? What's his name? Where does he live?"

"My surname is Gao Mingsong, and I live in Wangsheng Street."

"How is business in Ruyixuan?"

"Business is very good. Huimei has a unique vision. The jewelry she chooses and the pricing are very suitable, so she has many customers."

"Do you have any enemies in Huimei's business?"

"No."

"Ruyixuan was built by Huimei?"

"No, my father founded it, but the scale was very small at that time. After Huimei took over, she was very smart and managed the store better and better."

"How do you divide the work on a daily basis?"

"Huimei is the boss. She is in charge of Ruyixuan. I am mainly responsible for purchasing and selling."

Luo Ning nodded to Huili:

"If you remember anything else, please tell us as much as possible."

After speaking, Luo Ning walked to Dong Yuzuo's side again.

Dong Wuzuo looked serious and was still checking carefully, looking for first-hand information:
"Lord Luo, I have no successor for my work."

Dong Wuzuo was busy here and there alone and couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Ning was helpless.

Nowadays, after the emperor ascended the throne, the status of being a widower is no longer low, but no one is still willing to do it.

"I will mention it again when I have the opportunity to meet with the Emperor, but Master, you know that forcing is useless."

Nowadays, the popular professions are profitable and easy, and there is no such thing as ideal or unideal.

Just like when he first came to Dali Temple, the position of Dali Temple Minister had been vacant before.

But that’s normal. There’s a lot of pressure to survive, and money is needed everywhere.

Silver, hey, helpless!
"Are there any unusual findings?"

"The deceased appeared to have been poisoned."

Dong Wuzuo said cautiously: "I have to go back and take a look at the details."

Luo Ning was shocked, what happened to Huimei?
Being poisoned and beaten: "The fatal injury was the back of the head?"

"Yes, for sure."

"That's strange. Since you poisoned me, why do you continue to do it?"

Dong Wuzuo shook his head: "I'm almost done here. I want to go back and check carefully."

The people watching have not dispersed yet. This is the backyard of Youpeng Inn. It is a large open space with no fence around it and only one entrance to the east.

Is this the first scene?

Luo Ning asked himself, but now he can't see any traces.

Luo Ning returned to the innkeeper, and Song Qingsong had already finished taking notes.

When the innkeeper saw Luo Ning coming back, he was anxious to vent his emotions:

"Sir, what do you think I should do with this inn? If no one comes to stay in the future, I will have no money. Without money, I will not be able to marry a wife..."

It's quite a long time coming.

Luo Ning interrupted him: "How long has this vacant land been idle? People can come and go here at will?"

The man shook his head:
"This has always been our Youpeng Inn. Only hotel guests can come in and out. People can come in through the east exit, but it's okay and no one comes here."

Luo Ning turned to Master Song and asked, "Is everything okay?"

Song Qingsong nodded.

"Then bring over the accommodation registration for the past half month." Luo Ning ordered the innkeeper.

After speaking, Luo Ning and Song Qingsong walked to the place where the body was found.

There are thick weeds here, and tools are scattered on the ground in preparation for construction.

The body was not buried deeply, so it was discovered just after the construction started. The ground was soft and there was no trace of blood around it.

"It seems that this is not the first scene!" Luo Ning said to Song Qingsong.

"The innkeeper also said just now that if there is a quarrel or fight, even if the voice is low, people will find out."

Song Qingsong replied, pointing to the window of the inn: "Look, the guests staying on the first and second floors can completely see the situation here!"

"Then the body was transported here, and tools were needed. There are no car marks nearby. How did the murderer transport the body here?"

Luo Ning walked back and forth along the deep pit of corpses:
"It hasn't rained recently. There are no traces here except trampled grass."

Song Qingsong stroked his beard: "It will take a certain amount of time to dig a hole and bury the body. If it is not discovered, it can only be done at night."

Luo Ning looked into the distance with a heavy heart:
"There are two possibilities now. One is that someone living in the inn committed the murder, and the other is that this is not the first scene. Huimei was dumped here after her death!"
