Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 154
Meng Xiao listened to them carefully, but no one mentioned the matter again. Meng Xiao did not dare to ask questions rashly and decided to break through Niu Er.

After three rounds of drinking, the tramp was so drunk that he fell into a deep sleep in the wooden shed with satisfaction.

Because Niu Er had no status, he only picked up a very small amount of food to eat. He didn't grab any wine. He was looking at the empty wine bottles and the chicken bones on the ground and sighed.

Meng Xiao quietly took out a bottle of wine from her arms and stuffed it into Niu Er's arms. When Niu Er saw it, he almost shed tears of excitement:

“Brother, it’s so timely!”

Meng Xiao motioned for him to drink, and the two opened their hearts and started talking this time.

After a heart-to-heart talk all over the world, Niu Er's admiration for Meng Xiao was like a torrential river.

When Meng Xiao saw that the time had come, he said, "Brother Niu, I am so happy to meet you today. I will miss you when I leave Anyang City in the future!"

Niu Er was drinking in high spirits and patted his chest:

"Good brother, you are my real brother!"

Meng Xiao smiled: "No, brothers Niu, from now on we will think about each other and leave Anyang City together when we have the chance!"

"Oh, I really can't bear to leave my eldest brother!" Niu Er shook his head and sighed, as if the two had known each other for many years.

Meng Xiao took the opportunity to say: "I have to leave. There was a murder case on the first day I came to Anyang City. It's unlucky!"

When Niu Er heard this, his eyes widened: "What's so bad about it? If you know who did it, you won't feel bad about it!"

Meng Xiao's heart trembled suddenly, and she had something to look at!
Trying to calm down, Meng Xiao dismissed it:
"Brother Niu, you can't brag. This kind of thing is not bragging rights!"

When Niu Er heard Meng Xiao question him, his competitive spirit took over:
"Brother, don't you believe me? I don't even believe it?"

Meng Xiao shook his head: "It's none of our business to drink. You don't know the murderer, so don't talk nonsense."

Niu Eryi became anxious after hearing this, and then said:
"Did you see it? On the second floor in the distance, there is Zhu Lishu's friend!"

After saying that, he chuckled with a wretched look on his face:
"Brother, I don't know anything else, but I know who did it!" Niu Er pointed at the second floor of Zhou Bing's house, with an expression that made Meng Xiao believe him.

Meng Xiao shook her head, still looking like she didn't care and didn't believe it. This made Niu Er very angry. He pulled Meng Xiao over and leaned into his ear:

"Brother, I saw it all!"

Meng Xiao still didn't believe it and pretended to drink.

Niu Er dropped the bottle of wine in his hand, made a machete-like shape with his right hand, and gestured towards his neck:

"Brother, have you seen it? That's it!"

Only then did Meng Xiao look at him. Niu Er's actions did not match any of the victims at the crime scene.

Except for Zhou Dabao who died of suffocation, the rest of Zhou Bingjia suffered stab wounds, but none of them had injuries on their necks.

Meng Xiao didn't believe that Niu Er had witnessed the scene. He was probably talking nonsense, so he questioned:
"Did you see it? Where did you see it? Nonsense!"

Niu Er scratched his head and laughed:

"Indeed, but I did see Zhu Lishu enter Zhou Dabao's room that night!"

This clue is quite useful.

"Do you know Zhou Dabao?" Meng Xiao asked.

Niu Er took a sip of wine:

"We all know that, and it's not the first time!"

"I don't know, what's the matter?" Meng Xiao asked with a smile.

Niu Er is in high spirits:

"Those two boys, I like that one. You know, I saw Zhu Lishu break into Zhou Dabao's room at night more than once!"

"I don't believe it, just talk nonsense. Don't Zhou Dabao's family know?"

"I really don't know. At night, Zhou Dabao lights a candle and opens the window, which is a signal. If you don't believe it, I even secretly followed him once. When Zhu Lishu climbed into the window, the candle went out!"

This information is too important, so Zhu Lishu was the murderer of Zhou Bing’s family?

According to Niu Er, Zhu Lishu is also a child, how could he be so cold-blooded and heartless?

"What does Zhu Lishu look like?" Meng Xiao pretended to gossip.

"He looks good, somewhat similar to that Zhou Dabao."

"Why did Zhu Lishu kill Zhou Dabao?"

"Who knows? It was only the next day that we found out that Zhou Dabao's whole family was dead. From that day on, Zhu Lishu was acting strangely. But that night, I saw Zhu Lishu climb into Zhou Dabao's window with my own eyes!"

"When did Zhu Lishu go to Zhou Dabao's house?"

"Before midnight, Zhu Lishu used to spend the night there and jump back out of the window before midnight."

"Zhu Lishu is here with us too? Why didn't I see him?"

"It's been a hot cake for a long time, but it's different from us!"

"Zhu Lishu? Zhou Dabao? How do they know each other?"

Niu Erqiyale:
"If I'm good-looking and I hang out under other people's windows, I might get to know the person in the window!"

Meng Xiao couldn’t believe it.

Niu Er took another sip of wine and hummed a tune.

He said something important, which made Niu Er feel particularly proud. He crossed his legs and swung around.

After a while, Niu Er drank his wine and fell to the ground snoring. It was a pity that he didn't see Zhu Lishu.

Meng Xiao figured out that he needed to feed this information back to Luo Ning immediately, so he took advantage of this and left, hoping to find an opportunity to come back.

Unexpectedly, after Meng Xiao returned to Dali Temple and told Luo Ning about the situation, before Luo Ning could come up with an arrest plan, a Jingzhao government official ran into Dali Temple:
"Lord Luo, there was a fight just now among the homeless people at the west city gate. Some were killed and some were injured, and they were all arrested. One person asked for leniency. He said he was a witness to the Zhou Bing case!"

Meng Xiao looked at Luo Ning, it was simply too coincidental:
"Master Luo, if you guessed correctly, this person is Niu Er!"

Luo Ning was really surprised. She didn't expect the murderer to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

Is it really him?Zhu Lishu?
Luo Ning signaled Meng Xiao not to pretend to be any more, and left Dali Temple with the Yamen servant of Jingzhao Mansion, she wanted to see him!
When they arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, more shocking news came. The person who provided the clues had just been killed in prison!
Another man named Zhu Lishu drank arsenic directly and was poisoned to death!

"what?"

Luo Ning couldn't believe it.

When the homeless men in prison were interrogated again, no one knew what happened to Zhou Bingjia that day, even if they were offered freedom as bait, and no one provided any useful clues.

In this way, the murder case of Zhou Bingjia on Naner Road cut off all directions in this way.

In the next half month, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion were still following clues and actively investigating.

But nothing.

If the murderer was Zhu Lishu, why did he kill Zhou Dabao's family and even dismember Zhou Bing and his wife?

According to Niu Erhe's subsequent investigation of the wanderers, Zhu Lishu was thin and thin. How did he commit the murder against Zhou Bing, who was half a head taller than him?

When Zhu Lishu left Zhou Bing's house, did he leave through the door or the window?

If he left by the door, why did he open the window?Leave from the window, why bother to open the door?

Zhu Lishu was just a child. Even if he was the murderer, according to Dong Wu's judgment, the murderer had certain knife skills. How did he do it?
Later, a comparison of Zhu Lishu's shoe prints showed that they were completely inconsistent with the two left at the scene, and Luo Ning ruled him out as a suspect.

But if he was in Zhou Dabao's room that night, why didn't anything happen to him?And Zhou Bing’s whole family was killed?
If Zhu Lishu temporarily discovered that there was a problem with the Zhou family, why didn't Zhou Dabao escape with him?

And Taoist Li Qi, whom Yang Li took Zhou Erbao to see a doctor, why did he propose a death sacrifice? What did he know?
Luo Ning always felt that Li Qi was related to the case, but no matter how he investigated, he just wandered around Li Qi and could not find him.

All these have become doubtful points, and the case cannot be pinned on the murderer Zhu Lishu.

Luo Ning often took out the files and looked through them carefully, reasoning and verifying, but he still had no clue.

This has also become the only unsolved case since Luo Ning took office as Minister of Dali Temple.

　This is the longest story in the whole book. However, after writing this, Ye Beixi also forgot who he wanted to point the murderer to in the first place!Haha, now that I’m looking back and retelling the story, I think it’s possible for anyone!So who do the fairies guess?
　　This story actually has a prototype. It was adapted based on real events in Japan in 2000. Most of the characters and plots have been restored, and of course the story has been processed.The case has not been solved in Japan so far, and it has become an unsolved case!
　　The next story "The Sold Star Building" I have always wanted to write a story about fraud, and finally I have sorted out the direction of the story when it is about to be finished. How about let's take a look at the story?This is also the story that Ye Beixi is most satisfied with and loves the most in the whole book!
