Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 88
When Song Qingsong received the report, when he heard that there was a fire on the wedding night, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is a happy event turned into a funeral, which is really amazing!

So, he said to the servant of Mr. Li’s family who reported to the official:

"Go ahead, Jingzhao Mansion will send officers over immediately and ask Mr. Li not to clean up the scene for the time being!"

Dong Mingfeng received the news and arrived at Lijiazhuang within a short time carrying his work suitcase.

The scene was in a mess, and there was a strong smell from burning tar. Dong Wuzuo couldn't help but feel strange, but he didn't think much about it, and he and a few government officials searched for corpses in the ruins.

Mr. Li and his wife were crying till their hearts broke. What kind of evil had they done?When I was old, I got a son, and there were flowers and candles in the wedding room, but the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift.

Neighbors came over one after another, looking around and comforting each other. The Li Mansion, which was full of laughter and laughter yesterday, felt a sense of sadness overnight.

Dong Mingfeng's sharp eyesight found a body that had been burnt to charcoal under a collapsed beam. He worked with several government officials to lift the body out.

"Dong Wuzuo, are you checking here?" a government official asked.

Dong Mingfeng nodded:

"Just here, if there is no problem, confirm your identity, then you can hand over the case to Mr. Song, and let Mr. Li's family report the funeral as soon as possible, hey!"

Dong Mingfeng sighed, Zhao State's legislation requires that as long as you are a citizen of Zhao State, no matter how big or small the case is, as long as it involves a murder case, you must have an inspection report on the crime.

The case can only be closed after the policeman's identity is recognized and a report is issued. The same is true for fires, where human lives are involved. Only after the policeman's identity is confirmed and the policeman's identity is verified, the family members can proceed with follow-up matters.

Dong Mingfeng thought that Li Yuanwai was old and his family was experiencing misfortune, so he confirmed his identity early so that they could bury his son with peace of mind.

Opening the small wooden box he carried with him, Dong Wuzuo looked at it seriously. As he inspected it, his brows gradually gathered.

How is this going?

A kind of doubt surged into Dong Mingfeng's heart. This is not over yet, a yamen servant ran over in a panic and leaned into Dong Mingfeng's ear:

"Dong Wuzuo, found a human head at the head of the bed..."

The yamen officer spoke intermittently, but Dong Mingfeng was still surprised: "There is no body?"

"It hasn't been found yet!" The government officials didn't dare to conclude: "We are still looking for it!"

Dong Mingfeng looked at the corpse next to him:
"Go back to Jingzhao Mansion quickly and tell Mr. Song that what happened here may be a murder. The corpse I have here was killed by someone and then burned!"

The yamen servant was so frightened that the color drained from his face: "I'll go back right away!"

The fire turned into a murder case, and a dead head appeared again. Song Qingsong hurriedly sent someone to find Luo Ning.

By the time everyone arrived at Lijiazhuang, it was already noon.

Song Zhuer walked beside Luo Ning, and they were the first to step into Yuan Li's yard:

"Sir, there was a happy event here yesterday. Who would have thought that something like this would happen overnight!"

Song Zhuer sighed, and Luo Ning was the same. When he heard that there was a murder on the wedding night, his heart tightened.

"Where is Mr. Li?" Luo Ning asked the servant.

An old man came over with a sad expression: "Sir, the common man is Lao Litou!"

Luo Ning sighed in his heart: "When did you fall asleep yesterday and when did you start the fire?"

Officer Li thought about it: "After yesterday's wedding banquet, I fell asleep. It was already close to Haishi. The time of the fire was probably after Choushi. Everyone in the village was asleep."

"How did the fire start?"

Li Yuanwai shook his head: "It was a servant in the mansion who found it at night!"

"Where is the boy? I want to see him!"

Li Yuanwai then called someone to call the servant while he stood there silently crying.

"Did anything unusual happen to my son Li Fu and his bride Yin Cuizhu at the wedding banquet yesterday?"

Li Yuanwai shook his head: "My son was very happy yesterday. He never thought that he would get married one day. He is very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, and there is nothing unusual about her."

"Why didn't you think that this day would come to you?" Luo Ning was puzzled.

Li Yuanwai suddenly realized: "My son has inconvenience in his legs. He was ill due to an illness when he was a child and has never recovered. Therefore, although we have talked about many marriages before, the woman disliked him, so we have not gotten married."

Luo Ning understood: "Is this bride Yin Cuizhu still satisfied with Li Fu?"

Mr. Li nodded:

"She didn't agree at first because her son's legs and feet were inconvenient, but when we met later, she thought it was okay and agreed. I thought that my son would never marry in his life. If I had known this, it would be better not to get married! "

Member Li cried in grief.

"Why did Mr. Li say this?"

"After I met Yin Cuizhu, a monk who passed by me once asked for help. He said that I, the Li family, could not keep the bride in check, and that it would be unlucky. He said that this was not a good marriage. It's a pity that I... I was lucky, and it was all my fault!"

Luo Ning didn't believe this, but he was alarmed in his heart:
"How did your daughter-in-law Yin Cuizhu meet Li Fu?"

"There was a matchmaker in the middle, and the girl's family was very satisfied. I saw that the girl was also smart, so I gave her a lot of gifts, and it became a marriage!"

At this time, the servant in the mansion was brought over. He was a thin young man, not very old.

Luo Ning asked him: "Were you the first to discover the fire last night?"

The young man nodded: "I got up at night to go to the toilet and passed by the new house. Suddenly I saw a fire inside. I was scared and ran over. When I saw that it was indeed a flame, I called for help!"

"When was that? Do you still remember it?"

"When I was ugly, I vaguely heard the sound of patrols, but I'm not sure." The young man replied.

Li Yuanwai said: "Sir, the time should be about the same, because the fire burned very vigorously and did not go out for a long time. Later, the fire decreased and the genius was bright."

Luo Ning signaled Song Zhuer to write it down, and then asked the young man: "Did you find that when the fire broke out, the fire was not big, but the room was very quiet?"

"Yes, I shouted a few times, Master, the water is running out, get up quickly! But there was no sound inside. I wanted to push the door, but the fire started quickly. I saw there was no sound at all, so I went to get the water Call someone!”

"Last night, can you confirm that Li Fu entered the new house at Haishi?"

Li Yuanwai is very sure:
"My lord, I am very happy in my heart. I am watching from here. I will not go to sleep until my son Li Fu puts out the candle!"

"Li Fu has a disease in his legs. Is he unable to walk? Or..."

Li Yuanwai shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that one leg can't walk well, it's just lame!"

Luo Ning asked about it, and he knew it in his heart.

Said to Mr. Li:
"I'm going to ask about the situation there first, and I'll ask you if I need anything else!"

Song Qingsong came over:

"Lord Luo, you have already identified the corpse, and I invite Master Li to come and identify it. It should be Li Fu without a doubt!"

When Li Yuanwai heard this, he rushed over and said, "My son!"

Old tears.

Everyone couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the corpse that had changed beyond recognition.

Luo Ning asked Dong Mingfeng: "How is it? Have you confirmed the murder?"

Dong Mingfeng nodded: "The fatal blow was on the back of the head, killing him with one blow."
