Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 116 It Should Be Him
Cui You answered affirmatively:
"It should be around Xu Shi (seven o'clock in the evening), because when we went to Qianwen Palace, we all left the office and went directly there. Lord Meng said that he had something to do and left early and did not come with us!"

Luo Ning thought:
Before Xu Shi, Mrs. Meng died at You Shi!
In the middle of this hour, where was Mr. Meng?

Luo Ning felt more and more suspicious of Master Meng.

Now all the evidence, if considered on him, is very consistent.

"By the way, Mr. Meng came to play chess yesterday. Have you changed your clothes?"

Cui You thought about it carefully:

"No, it's still official uniform!"

Luo Ning felt that this was unjustifiable:

"If Mr. Meng is the murderer, there must be splatters of blood on his body. How do you explain that the official uniform is very clean?"

"Did you go back to the house and change your clothes? After killing Mrs. Meng, take them off and put on official uniforms?" Qin Zhao guessed.

"This is the only possibility!"

The three people walked into the cabinet. They were all filled with piles of memorials and files. Luo Ning was surprised:

"They say Dali Temple is a brain-burning place. I think Mr. Cui's job is also very hard!"

"What about me? I'm not working hard?"

When Qin Zhao heard Luo Ning praise Cui You:
"I protect you all day long, and I still have to solve the case. Isn't it hard for me?"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Qin is the hardest worker. He calls Xu An at night and I treat you to dinner!"

Cui You echoed from the side: "I want to go too!"

The atmosphere finally relaxed. Before he could say the next sentence, Meng Qingsong walked out of the next room:
"Master Luo is here?"

Luo Ning looked at Meng Qingsong again, seemingly even more tired than last night, and hesitated to link him with the murderer.

Besides, Master Meng is sixty years old, can he really kill Mrs. Meng?Mrs. Meng didn’t resist?

Luo Ning still had a hundred reasons to deny his idea.

"Mr. Meng, can you tell me where you were in the hour between leaving the cabinet and going to Qianwen Palace to play chess last night?" Luo Ning asked straight to the point.

Meng Qingsong did not hesitate:
"I received a message from the palace servants of Qianwen Palace, asking me to go to Qingfengxuan on Fukang Street, saying that they wanted to tell me something about Madam."

"Madam's matter?" Luo Ning didn't understand.

"I don't know, it was brought to me by someone from the former Sun Palace!"

"Mr. Meng, can you tell me the name of the palace maid?"

Meng Qingsong took out a page of paper from his arms:

"Lord Luo, this note is still here!"

Luo Ning was very surprised. He took it and took a look at it. It read: (Tomorrow, after Youshi, Fukang Street, Qingfengxuan, and Madam's affairs, I will leave them to Mr. Meng)

"This is……"

Luo Ning thought it was incredible.

"It was given to me by the palace servant of Qianwen Palace. Your Excellency, you can verify it yourself. The palace servant is known as Eunuch Li."

Luo Ning was not only surprised, but also felt like he was being led by the nose!
This Master Meng didn't know what was going on, as if he knew what she was going to do next.

"Can Mr. Meng tell me about your pick-up schedule after leaving the office yesterday?" Luo Ning asked.

"We were playing chess around the time of Xu. I went to Fukang Street first. I walked around Fukang Street for almost an hour and couldn't find Qingfengxuan. When I saw that the time was up, I went to Qianwen Palace. What happened next, Luo Everyone knows!"

The more Luo Ning listened, the more suspicious Meng Qingsong became, but his whereabouts were impeccable, which made Luo Ning feel even more weird.

"At that time, Mr. Meng received the note. Can you think of someone who wanted to tell you, Madam, what happened?"

Meng Qingsong shook his head:

"That's why I was curious and wanted to know what happened."

Luo Ning saw that although Meng Qingsong looked tired, his eyes were bright, and although his hair was gray, his bearing was extraordinary. Qin Zhao said that his chess skills were superb, so his logical thinking ability must be outstanding.

Combined with this series of evidence, Luo Ning still pointed the finger at Meng Qingsong.

This Master Meng is very problematic.

Luo Ning looked serious. Could it be that he was irrational at the beginning because he played the emotional card?

Is Meng Qingsong really the murderer?
However, he provided all the evidence to deny others' doubts about him.

"Mr. Meng, you are on Fukang Street, can anyone prove it?"

"There are a few people who can. I walked around Fukang Street and asked several shops about Qingfengxuan. If Mr. Luo goes to verify it, I should be able to prove it!"

Look, I came prepared again!

Could it be that Meng Qingsong has arranged everything?All the evidence rules him out!Is he not the murderer?

What's this?A word suddenly appeared in Luoning's mind.

Alibi.

Yes, everything Meng Qingsong did had only one purpose, to prove his alibi, to prove that he was not the murderer!
But why did he have to arrange everything perfectly to prove that he did not kill Mrs. Meng?

Meng Qingsong was so weird that Luo Ning wanted to go to Qianwen Palace to verify the details of the message.

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao met Eunuch Li at Qianwen Palace.

Luo Ning asked anxiously:

"Eunuch Li, do you still remember the note you gave to Master Meng the day before yesterday?"

"Remember, because this note was given to me by the imperial guard standing guard outside the Meridian Gate!"

"Can you tell me about the situation at the time?"

Eunuch Li nodded:
"Sir, you should know that Qianwen Palace is in the imperial palace, so I was very surprised when the Royal Forest Army wanted to hand the note to Lord Meng that day!"

"Did father-in-law see the content of the note?"

"You can see it clearly. It's just a note. It hasn't been folded. It was brought here like this."

"The Imperial Forest Army is still there, how can we find him?"

"The guards outside the Meridian Gate are taking turns on duty. I really don't know if it's a boy from the Qian family today, named Qian Wen."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Qin and I will go over and inquire about it!"

The two of them rushed to the Meridian Gate again.

On the way, Qin Zhao asked: "Do you think there is something wrong with Mr. Meng?"

"It's so strange. I wanted to deny my own thoughts, so the evidence that denied Mr. Meng's crime appeared one after another. But the more evidence there was, the more deliberate it seemed!" Luo Ning felt uneasy.

"why is that?"

Qin Zhao feels that the more evidence there is, the more likely it is that he should be cleared of suspicion?
"Just like in life, we don't know what will happen next, so it's very random. So even if something happens, our actions and thoughts are all natural!"

"I understand a little bit, go on!"

"But here, Lord Meng, there are people proving it everywhere. Where evidence or witnesses would not have appeared, it happened to appear!"

"Deliberately!"

"Yes, but why do you think about proving it when you do something?"

"Like Cui You!"

"So let's see what Qian Wen says. Mr. Meng wants to prove where he was at the time of the incident. Is this evidence too powerful?"

Luo Ning was very happy that Qian Wen was still on duty in the Imperial Forest Army, at least it went well, and he didn't have to wait for him or look for him.

"Qian Wen, do you still remember who asked you to bring the note to Mr. Meng the day before yesterday?"

"It's a man wearing a hat!"

"Didn't see the face clearly?"
