Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 94 After the attack
The next day, Luo Ning and Song Zhuer came to Tongji Medical Center. Doctor Chen heard that Dali Temple took over the case yesterday, and he couldn't help but admire Luo Ning more in his heart.

Doctor Chen quickly introduced himself:
"Master Luo, I am the doctor at Tongji Medical Center, my surname is Chen!"

"Hello Doctor Chen, how is Chen Bailu's condition today?"

"It's much better now, but my mood is unstable. I can speak intermittently this morning, although it's not very clear yet!"

Luo Ning expressed his understanding:

"Doctor Chen, Chen Bailu is all stabbed?"

"Yes, the knife is not sharp, it is just an ordinary fruit knife, so there are scratches all over the body. It is not fatal, but the face may be ruined in the future!"

"Dr. Chen, you mean the murderer just wanted to hurt her, but didn't kill her?"

"Yes, my lord, the stab wounds are concentrated on the face and arms, which are exposed to the outside, and the cuts are not deep, but there are a lot of them!"

Luo Ning understood:
"Then I'll go question Chen Bailu now, okay?"

Doctor Chen nodded and took Luo Ning and Song Zhuer into Chen Bailu's room.

At this time, the soft cloth on Chen Bailu's face had been removed, and Chen Baidan was sitting next to her, feeding her porridge.

Only a little of the gruel in a small spoonful could be fed in, and the rest flowed from the corners of her mouth. Chen Baidan used a handkerchief to help her wipe it while feeding her.

Song Zhuer nodded to Chen Baidan, then looked at Chen Bailu, her heart beating hard for half a beat.

Her face was covered with herbs, one eye could no longer be opened, and the other eye was looking at nowhere, not focusing at all, and her body was wrapped in soft cloth.

Her hair had been cut short because she had to deal with the wound. There was no hair on her forehead. Herbal medicine was applied externally on her neck, and the medicinal juice was still dripping out.

Song Zhuer was horrified and glanced at Luo Ning.

Even though Luo Ning had seen too many corpses, this was the first time he had seen a living person injured like this.

When Chen Baidan saw Luo Ning, he quickly put down the porridge bowl:
"Sister, Master Luo from Dali Temple is here. I told you yesterday that Master Luo will definitely find the murderer!"

Chen Bailu's exposed eye was filled with tears. She stretched out her hand to hold Chen Baidan and said in a hoarse voice:
"Okay, thanks..."

Luo Ning walked over and patted her hand, comforting her:

"Doctor Chen said you are in good condition. I came here today to find out what happened to you that day. Can I tell you now?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

Chen Baidan said:

"Master Luo, my sister's speech is not complete yet, she can only speak word by word!"

"I know. Yesterday I sent Dali Temple Meng Sizhi to Wuli Alley to investigate. Now let me tell you, you two can supplement it. Chen Bailu, you just need to nod or shake your head!"

Sisters Chen Bailu and Chen Baidan were very moved.

"Then, here I am!"

Luo Ning cleared his throat and started asking:
"Chen Bailu, it was near Haishi when you were attacked, right?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

"You didn't see the attacker clearly?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

"The attacker attacked you from behind, knocked you unconscious, and then slashed you with a knife?"

Chen Bailu shook his head: "Rush, pour..."

"Understood, he or she came out from the side, knocked you down, and then started attacking you?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

"A man attacked you?"

Chen Bailu shook his head: "Female!"

"A woman? Someone you know?"

Chen Bailu shook his head: "No... Qing"

"You don't know her?"

Chen Bailu was confused and didn't shake his head or nod.

Luo Ning understood:
"You mean you may be familiar with this person, but you're not sure now?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

"This is very important. You can go back and reminisce. As long as you think of any relevant clues, you can write them down and ask your sister to tell them to me."

"Did she speak when she attacked you?"

Chen Bailu shook his head.

"Did she knock you down and scratch your face directly, or did she scratch you randomly without any aim? If it's the former, just nod!"

Chen Bailu chose to nod.

"When she attacked you, none of the neighbors heard the sound. I think you must have been resisting, but you didn't break free. Was she very strong?"

Chen Bailu nodded.

"Have you lost any of your belongings?"

Chen Bailu shook his head.

Chen Baidan said:

"Master Luo, when my sister ran into the yard of our house, the cloth bag on her body was still there. Except for the blood stains, the broken silver inside was still there!"

That rules out robbery and murder!
"Chen Bailu, when the murderer attacked you, did you shout loudly?"

Chen Bailu looked up and recalled, shaking his head.

Pointing at the neck:

"pain……"

Then he gestured like the back of a knife and repeatedly scratched his face.

Luo Ning's heart tightened:
"She keeps using the knife, so you're so scared that you can't make a sound?"

Chen Bailu nodded with tears in her eyes.

"In the end, she hurt you so much. Did she stop on her own? Or did you break free?"

"Own"

Chen Bailu reluctantly said this, still trembling as she recalled her feelings that day.

Luo Ning patted her shoulder:

"Chen Bailu, I understand the general situation and got some information yesterday. I will do my best to help you catch the murderer. You must be strong and recover well!"

Chen Bailu's intact eye had tears streaming down her face. She tried her best to speak from her throat:

"Thank... thank... person"

Luo Ning motioned for Chen Baidan to follow her out, and the three of them walked out of the room. Song Zhuer turned back and glanced at Chen Bailu again. She was now a living dead corpse.

It's so miserable!

"Bai Dan, where do Bai Lu work? Can you go home until Haishi?"

"My sister works in the laundry in Wuli Lane. It's approaching the season change, so she has a lot of work. She often has to finish it all before going home!"

"We, Meng Sizhi of Dali Temple, visited Wuli Alley yesterday. Many houses had closed their doors at this time. According to Chen Bailu, the murderer rushed over from the side. Are you sure it was not a neighbor who committed the crime?"

Chen Baidan nodded in affirmation:
"The neighbors are all old neighbors who have been together for decades. No, my sister is always very polite to others, and the neighbors also like her. I have never heard of anyone having a grudge!"

"You and sister Chen Bailu? Where are your parents?"

"Both my parents have passed away, and my sister and I are the only ones who depend on each other. My sister works on weekdays, and I also work as a helper in a wealthy family. The two of us live well!"

"According to Chen Bailu's recollection, I tend to have an acquaintance commit the crime, and I have a deep hatred for Chen Bailu. Do you have any clues for me?"

Chen Baidan hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage:
"Master Luo, my sister is very beautiful. She is a well-known beauty in Wuli Lane. She is usually pursued by many people. Apart from feelings, I can't think of anything that could make people angry with her!"

"Oh? Emotional entanglement? So is there anyone you suspect?"

Chen Baidan hesitated:
"Lord Luo, I actually don't know much about my sister's love life, but I do know about the person who pursues her."

"You tell me, if we in Dali Temple want to solve the case, we have to visit them one by one!"
