Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 136 Findings
Luo Ning sees hope:

"We started investigating the people around Wu Songbai. The murderer was someone close to him or someone who was very familiar with him. This person may even have been following him in recent times."

Meng Xiao thought about it and couldn't help but sigh:
"This is quite scary. Wu Songbai must not know that someone is watching him."

Luo Ning also felt depressed:
"Meng Sizhi, you and Zhu'er are going to visit all the people who can get in touch with Wu Songbai. Wu Songbai's life is simple and the people he contacts are limited. I hope the murderer can show his feet."

"Yao Sizhi, before you finished speaking just now, you went to visit Mou Qingping's men. How did they become dissatisfied with Mou Qingping?"

Luo Ning thought of Mou Qingping's case. There was no idea for this case yet!
Yao Huan said:
"Mou Qingping has always wanted to make the wood processing workshop bigger, so he focuses all his energy on expanding his business! The man reported that he is very harsh on the workers!"

"How harsh?"

"Withholding wages, we work overtime all day when it comes to larger orders, but the guys are reluctant to leave!"

"Mou Qingping is the manager of the Timber Alliance. He must be different from other bosses in this regard."

"Another person said that Mr. Mou is lustful. There are no women in the woodworking workshop. Mrs. Mou is very strict, so there is nothing out of the ordinary for the time being."

This is a clue, but now everything has reached a dead end, and Luo Ning still can't see the direction.

Looking down and seeing his case analysis on the paper, Luo Ning suddenly had an idea.

Women, lustful?
"Tell me, could it be a woman who happened to meet Mou Qingping that day and took him away?"

Yao Huan came over and looked at Luo Ning's case analysis:
"Sir, it is very possible that Master Mou wants to avoid the servants. He must be the one he meets. He doesn't want them to see him."

"Yes, Mrs. Mou said that day that Mr. Mou was going home at noon, so when Mou Qingping left, he must have thought that he would be back soon!"

Meng Xiao went on to say that he also agreed with Luo Ning's reasoning.

Seeing that Meng Xiao and Yao Huan agreed with his idea, Luo Ning continued: "If we meet by chance and take him away, then the place where Mou Qingping is imprisoned will not be too far from Xingwang Street, maybe right on Xingwang Street!"

"Master Luo, Wei Yan and I are going to investigate!"

"We have to inquire about the shops and houses along Xingwang Street. It's another time to find a needle in a haystack. I hope there will be clues this time!"

Yao Huan and Meng Xiao took orders and went out.

Luo Ning looked at their backs and sighed in his heart.

They are great, really!
It was hard work, but I never complained!

Luo Ning sat down, calmed down, opened the cases of Mou Qingping and Wu Songbai, and started analyzing them again, hoping to find clues.

At sunset, Qin Zhaoxian returned, and the Jinyi guards separately asked the soldiers guarding the city.

There are so many carriages going in and out of Anyang City every day that no one really remembers anything special that happened the day before.

However, Qin Zhao brought back another piece of information: Anyang City's carriages were marked with signs. If a strange carriage came or went, the city defenders would notice it.

What does this mean?
The murderer's carriage has a registration record in Anyang City. Since Luo Ning has targeted the area near Xingwang Street, he can call up all the carriage registrations on Xingwang Street.

Even though there was little hope, Luo Ning and Qin Zhao came to Jingzhao Mansion. Song Qingsong found the officials on duty and everyone started to search one by one.

Unfortunately, nothing was found in the end.

There were not many horse-drawn carriages registered on Xingwang Street. Luo Ning still remembered the kidnapper's kidnapping letter and the kidnapper's analysis, but everything was inconsistent with it.

"Should we expand the scope?"

Song Qingsong rubbed his eyes and said tiredly.

Luo Ning shook his head: "This is too slim. Let's look at the results of today's investigation by the directors and we will make a decision!"

Luo Ning closed his eyes, but his mind was analyzing it carefully.

The murderer's education level is not high and he lives in poverty. Even the kidnapping letter is made of cheap paper, but does he have a carriage?

It doesn't make sense, why would people with horse-drawn carriages use cheap paper?

But the murderer can enter and exit Anyang City without being discovered?

What kind of vehicle transports the body?
Luo Ning opened his eyes: "What kind of car can go in and out of the city gate at will? Is it enough to transport corpses?"

A government official said casually:
“Besides the carriage, it’s the swill cart!”

Oh my god, yes, the swill truck!

Several people suddenly became excited, which made the yamen servant a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, one sentence would turn the case around!
"Master Song, are there any records of the swill carts in Anyang City?"

"The imperial palace and several major palaces have special responsibility for the swill carts, but it's hard for the public to say!"

"In this way, we can only go to the four major city gates and keep a record of each swill truck, and then investigate them one by one!"

There was a turnaround in the case, which made everyone very happy.

Song Qingsong divided the Jingzhao government officials into four groups. Because the swill trucks came in and out of the city gate every early morning, the government officials had to be ordered to prepare separately.

Luo Ning thought about it: "Sir Song, we can't rule out the swill carts from the imperial palace and the major palaces. We will visit them one by one tomorrow!"

Song Qingsong nodded:

"Finally we have a direction, and our hard work has not been in vain! This case is really a headache!"

Luo Ning felt the same, but after hitting the wall countless times, he finally saw something!

Luo Ning did not return home, but Qin Zhao still accompanied her at Dali Temple. The two of them laid out the cases of Wu Songbai and Mou Qingping, speculating and ruling out one idea after another.

When the suspect in Mou Qingping's case became a swill truck, Luo Ning suddenly discovered:

"Master Qin, the swill truck and Wu Songbai's Shiweixuan are restaurants. Can the two cases be committed by the same person?"

Qin Zhao couldn't believe it: "Your idea is too bold. Why did the murderer kill two people in a row?"

Yes, this was a completely unfounded conjecture. Luo Ning denied his thoughts.

Meng Xiao and Song Zhuer returned to Dali Temple first at night. They were responsible for investigating the interpersonal relationships around Wu Songbai.

Song Zhuer rubbed her legs and spoke first:
"I'm exhausted, my lord. Meng Sizhi and I visited everyone around Wu Songbai."

Luo Ning smiled at her approvingly: "Zhu'er is the best. When the case is over, I'll treat you to delicious food!"

Song Zhuer said happily:
"That's great, you can let me run a few more times!"

Luo Ning handed her a cup of tea:

"How about it?"

"Wu Songbai lives a very simple life. He is very wealthy. Shiweixuan makes a lot of money, but he is a bit stingy."

This sentence was inexplicably familiar to Luo Ning. This was Yao Huan's evaluation of Mou Qingping when he investigated Mou Qingping and the clerk at the lumber shop.

Are these two deceased people still connected?

"Where are the people around Wu Songbai? Have any suspects been identified?"

Song Zhuer and Meng Xiao both shook their heads, and Meng Xiao said:

"Wu Songbai lives a simple life. He saves money except for the food restaurant, so except for the waiters, vegetable vendors and diners, he has almost no contact with anyone!"

"There is no enemy. We visited the vegetable merchants of Shiweixuan, and they all spoke very well of him. He does not default on money and has a good reputation."

Song Zhuer took a sip of tea and reported to Luo Ning.
