Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 37 What Is Love

Lu Shuangxue coughed and continued:
"After I met Xiao Qi, I lived with Xiao Qi for a period of time. Later, I separated from Xiao Qi and returned to Han Ming!"

"Who do you love?"

Lu Shuangxue smiled. Luo Ning's words suddenly made her feel funny. Who does she love?

Who did she love?She doesn't even know. Besides, what does it matter if she loves her or not?
Love is vulnerable.

A wave of heat surged out of his chest, and Lu Shuangxue coughed violently. His chest was sore that it was sore. He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. A pool of bright red blood soaked the handkerchief.

"Lord Luo, I'm sick." Lu Shuangxue said to Luo Ning, resisting the discomfort.

"Take him to the prison first and let the warden contact the medical officer." Luo Ning wanted to beat Lu Shuangxue.

Evidence, evidence! !

Lu Shuangxue was taken away by the warden and looked back at Luo Ning. Although there was blood at the corner of her mouth, there was a smile in her eyes.

Qin Zhao took Luo Ning's arm and wanted to protect her behind him: "This Lu Shuangxue is so strange!"

"She seems to know me." Luo Ning was deeply impressed by Lu Shuangxue's glance back.

what does she mean?
Song Qingsong, Qin Zhao, and the directors of Dali Temple all gathered around: "Master Luo, what should we do next?"

"I want to visit Lu Shuangxue's home. Meng Sizhi, take a corner of the head package and Lu Shuangxue's portrait and go to the various cloth workshops in the south of the city to see if anyone remembers her!"

Luo Ning always wanted to figure out one thing. Was Lu Shuangxue killing Xiao Qi a spur of the moment, or was it a well-planned decision?

Although I know that all searches are futile, I still hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Qin Zhao accompanied Luo Ning to the home of Han Ming and Lu Shuangxue. He opened the door and saw that the room was neatly tidied. It could be seen that the hostess was very attentive and diligent.

There are some wild daisies in the vase by the window, which adds a lot of flavor to the ordinary room.

Qin Zhao walked around the room, observing everything he saw with his eyes.

"Sir, is there a hidden compartment in this room?" Luo Ning asked Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao measured it with his steps. After a few back and forth, he shook his head: "The number of steps in each direction is the same. Do you doubt...?"

Luo Ning nodded:

"Xiao Qi died tragically. There are many aspects of this case that I can't connect to. There is no clue about where he was killed, where his body was dismembered, where he went before he was killed, or where his body was after he was killed."

It was the first time Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning so helpless. He walked over to her without thinking and put her head on his shoulder:
"Do your best."

Luo Ning was silent for a moment and raised his head:

"I feel that Lu Shuangxue loves Xiao Qi!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Speaking of Xiao Qi, Lu Shuangxue's eyes were filled with sadness. However, Xiao Qi died, but she felt relieved. She hated him!"

"Is there an emotional entanglement between the three of them?"

"Han Ming loves Lu Shuangxue, but who Lu Shuangxue loves, only she knows."

This topic is very heavy and mysterious. Qin Zhao can't understand it. His love life is very simple. He likes Luo Ning and Luo Ning also likes him. One-on-one is clean and tidy.

Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning walking to the closet and followed him. Luo Ning opened the closet. The clothes were folded neatly and washed cleanly. It seemed that Lu Shuangxue also did a very good job at housework.

Luo Ning's fingers followed the clothes one by one, and finally saw a piece of fabric on the last layer of the cabinet. Qin Zhao and Luo Ning looked at each other and stretched out their hands to pull it out.

A piece of cloth that was exactly the same as the one wrapped around the human head appeared in front of them, and the case finally made a breakthrough.

Qin Zhao was very happy: "Finally, physical evidence related to the case has appeared!"

Luo Ning shook his head:

"This does not explain the problem at all. It can only be said to be a coincidence. How can we conclude that Lu Shuangxue committed the crime? There are countless pieces of this package in Anyang City alone. If other people also find it, how will Mr. Qin explain it?"

Qin Zhao was speechless, that was true.

"We can only confirm that Lu Shuangxue is the murderer, but we can't get the evidence to send her to the Criminal Department."

Luo Ning frowned again, and Qin Zhao gently opened her eyebrows with his hand:

"After the case is over, I will take you to relax."

The two returned to Dali Temple and saw an old woman looking in front of the door. Luo Ning saw that she was Xiao Qi's wet nurse.

"Mother-in-law, are you coming...?"

The old woman was a little shy and her eyes were red:

"I know it's disturbing, sir, but I want to ask how far Xiao Qide's case has been investigated. This child... is so miserable... I went to see him..."

The woman couldn't speak anymore and kept wiping her tears with her sleeve.

"We have caught the suspect, but there is no other progress now. I will do my best to solve the case. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible!"

The woman nodded: "Sir, I believe you. You must give Xiao Qi an explanation..."

After saying that, he wiped his tears and left.

Luo Ning looked at the old woman's back and felt even more depressed.

At this time, the medical officer from the Dali Temple Prison came running over:

"Master Luo..."

"Well, how about Lu Shuangxue?"

Luo Ning knew that it must be the medical officer who told her the test results.

"Sir, Lu Shuangxue's condition is quite serious. She knows it very well and has been taking decoctions. I took her prescription and did some tests. I'm afraid...she doesn't have much time left!"

"What? What disease does she have?"

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao were both surprised.

"Her prescriptions are all strong medicines, which are similar to tuberculosis, but worse than tuberculosis. She has been injured by a long-term cough, and her chest is full of gas. Recently, she only relies on medicinal decoction to survive."

Not much time?

When Luo Ning heard what the medical officer said, she felt confused. The case was not clear yet, so what should she do?
I remembered how Lu Shuangxue looked during the interrogation just now. She was indeed very weak. Could it be that this case cannot be solved?
Taking a deep breath, Luo Ning said to Qin Zhao:
"Try to break through from Han Ming."

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao walked into Han Ming's cell. He sat there silently. Although he looked at Luo Ning, he was very resistant:
"When can I go out?"

"I won't be going out for a while, because Lu Shuangxue has also come in to accompany you, so you don't have to worry too much about her."

"What? You caught Shuangxue?"

Han Ming didn't believe it. When he heard that Lu Shuangxue had also been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple Prison, he became furious.

Qin Zhao subdued him with two moves and pinned him down:
"Be honest, or you'll be rude!"

Although Han Ming could not move, he continued to struggle.

"What's your relationship with Lu Shuangxue?"

"We are husband and wife."

"Have you registered with the matchmaker's office?"

Han Ming hesitated and shook his head.

Since the time of Emperor Gaozu of Zhao State, private marriages have been required to be registered with the government. After receiving the marriage certificate and certification from the court, they are considered a legal couple.

But usually there are parents' orders and matchmaker's words first. Obviously, Han Ming and Lu Shuangxue had nothing.

"But Lu Shuangxue and Xiao Qi do. ​​They are the couple recognized by the court."

Luo Ning just wanted to deceive and continued talking smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Han Ming heard it and shouted excitedly:

"So what are they? Lu Shuangxue loves me, it's me, and it's me who lives with her!!!"

Han Ming wanted to break free from Qin Zhao's shackles, but he only moved a few times before being pushed down by Qin Zhao again.

He spit out the dirt in his mouth and shouted to Luo Ning:
"What's so great about you? What nonsense are you talking about? Lu Shuangxue is mine! Mine!!"

Seeing Han Ming's excitement, Luo Ning looked at him coldly:
"What's the use? Lu Shuangxue left you and lived with Xiao Qi. She loves Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi is incomparable to you."

"You bullshit!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If Lu Shuangxue hadn't come to you in need, do you think she would have turned back? She only came to you because she needed you and needed your help. As for what kind of help, you know best!"

"She loves me, Shuangxue will not lie to me!"

Han Ming's eyes were already red, and he was completely irritated by Luo Ning.

"You know, she will leave you again, and leave you completely. She is going to die. You know, she is sick, and she is very sick!"

"No, Shuangxue will not die. You are talking nonsense, talking nonsense!"

"I'm not lying. She relies on medicine every day to survive. You know better than me that she is dying. She vomited blood when she entered Dali Temple. She has already taken out the vomited blood in a basin!"

"Shuangxue, Shuangxue, how are you?"

Han Ming kept shouting towards the prison, but he didn't know that Lu Shuangxue was not here at all.

"She can hear it. Don't you have anything to say to her? Don't you want to ask her? Does she love you or Xiao Qi?"

"You lied to me, you lied to me, Shuangxue will not love Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is dead, am I worse than a dead person?"

"Of course, Lu Shuangxue was just using you. You killed Xiao Qi. Do you think she would love you? Why didn't you ask her? Otherwise, how unwilling would you be? You have done so much, does she care?"

"She cares. She said she doesn't love Xiao Qi, but she loves me! Shuangxue didn't use me, she asked me to kill Xiao Qi. How could she love him?"

Han Ming cried, hoarse.

"Nonsense, why did Lu Shuangxue let you kill Xiao Qi? She wanted to live with Xiao Qi before she left you. Otherwise, why would she and Xiao Qi go to the matchmaker's office to register instead of you?"

Luo Ning's words are harsh.

Han Ming shouted at the cell door:

"That's not the case, Shuangxue...she is talking nonsense, right? Shuangxue, can you hear me?"

Luo Ning raised his voice:

"She can hear it, Lu Shuangxue, tell Han Ming loudly, who do you love? If you are asked to make a choice one day, you will still choose to be with Xiao Qi, right? Xiao Qi is dead, and so will you We don’t have much time left, just go down and stay with Xiao Qi, you two will never be separated!!!”

"No!"

Han Ming completely collapsed:

"No, Shuangxue, don't leave me. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Please, don't leave me!"

"Okay, do you want to meet Lu Shuangxue?"

Luo Ning softened his tone.

"My lord, please, let me see her!"

Han Ming surrendered and prayed.

Luo Ning nodded to Qin Zhao:

"Yes, as long as you figure it out and know what to say, say it. Not only will you be able to see Lu Shuangxue, but if it has nothing to do with her, you can also let her go."

Qin Zhao let go of Han Ming and pushed him onto the chair. Han Ming said to Luo Ning:
"Sir, I said everything and did it all, please let Shuangxue go."

"Okay, tell me what you did."

"I killed Xiao Qi and threw his head outside the south of the city. It was all my doing!"

Han Ming covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

Han Ming confessed everything, but Luo Ning and Qin Zhao were still upset when they walked out of the Dali Temple Prison.
