Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 68 The night of the crime
Luo Ning asked Gao Song:
"Tell me, you and Huimei were childhood sweethearts. Does Huimei feel the same way?"

"Huimei and I have always had a good relationship. Although we are children, we grew up together. Huimei does not hate me and we have discussed getting married." Gao Song answered affirmatively.

"Then why haven't you gotten married yet?"

Gao Song lowered his head, very ashamed:

"Originally we were going to get married, but after we agreed on the wedding date, I was drugged and thrown into Wanhua Lane a month ago. It was only when Huimei came looking for me this morning that I found out..."

Luo Ning was speechless.

You keep saying you love others, but you do this.

"How did Huimei know?"

"I also asked her, but Huimei never told me. This is also the reason why our relationship has problems recently. But six days ago, Huimei had forgiven me!"

"Then why did you drug her?"

"I was anxious because Huimei was still angry with me before that night, so I thought if it was a good thing, Huimei would stop shirk-shielding, and I would treat her well after we got married."

"What a mess. How do you know that Huimei has forgiven you?" Luo Ning was furious.

"Huimei drank the tea and realized something was wrong with her, so she questioned me. When I got scared, I told her."

Gao Song looked at Luo Ning's expression and was a little scared. He also knew that he was going too far and lowered his head, but he still kept explaining:
"Huimei was very angry at the time, but she also understood my feelings. She cried after that and did not blame me."

Gao Song said with red eyes:
"Later, Huimei said that she knew a lot of things, but she couldn't tell me yet. She said she would find time to have a good talk with me. She knew my heart and would give me an explanation!"

"Has your wedding date been determined?"

"Yes, sir, Huimei was in pain that night, but she definitely said that she would marry me."

Gao Song thought about it and said:

"And Huimei told me that she knew what happened when I went to Wanhua Lane. She said she would find a way to clarify it, but who knew, she disappeared!"

Takamatsu cried.

Everyone heard another version of the story.

Luo Ning frowned, what's wrong?

"How did you get drugged and knocked unconscious that day?" Luo Ning asked Gao Song.

"On the way home, I was walking, and suddenly a carriage passed by. A man jumped out and covered my mouth with a handkerchief. I didn't know anything anymore!"

"Do you have any impression of that person?"

"I don't remember it at all. I was wearing a mask on my face and covering it very tightly!"

Gao Song was very frustrated: "It was only after that that Huimei became angry with me!"

"So on the day of the incident, did Huimei invite you, or did you go to Huimei's house?" Luo Ning asked.

"I'm going to Huimei's house!"

"Does anyone know where you're going?"

"No, the people around me are very simple. Besides, I want to have a good relationship with Huimei, so I am even more cautious!"

"When did you go? What was Huimei doing?"

"Because Huili was traveling far away, I knew that no one was at Huimei's house, so I prepared everything. When I went over, the courtyard door was not locked, but I locked it!"

"That means that when you and Huimei were at home, the courtyard door was locked from the inside?"

"Yes, I was afraid that someone would come in and ruin my good deeds, but after being rejected by Huimei, I left. When I left, Huimei locked the door!"

Luo Ning tapped her fingers on the table, frowning and thinking.

After a while, he asked Wei Yan: "Wei Sizhi, when visiting the neighbors, did anyone raise anything unusual?"

Wei Si shook his head.

"So that means that the murderer who entered the yard was either an acquaintance, Huimei, who let him in, or he was agile and picked the lock himself?"

After asking Takamatsu, everyone was even more confused.

Gao Song himself couldn't explain clearly: "Sir, I don't know anything else, but I have made everything clear about myself!"

Luo Ning thought for a while and asked Gao Song: "How is the relationship between the two sisters Huimei and Huili?"

Gao Song shook his head: "Huimei dotes on Huili very much and is obedient to her requests, but Huili is very domineering. Huili doesn't like me, and she doesn't want me to get married to Huimei!"

"why?"

"Although Dad Hui didn't have much savings back then, he left a will to give it to whoever manages Ruyixuan well."

"Aren't two people running the business together?"

"This is the case now, but once a person gets married, Father Hui said, start your own business!"

Luo Ning understood instantly.

"Does Huimei's family have a carriage?" Luo Ning saw a turning point.

"Yes, Huili will make a horse-drawn carriage when discussing business."

Luo Ning waved his hand: "Let Gao Song go!"

When Gao Song walked out of Dali Temple, all the ministers gathered around him.

Song Zhuer asked: "Sir, is it really Hui Li?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

"Sir, what should we do next?" Wei Si asked directly.

"I'll talk to Huili again. Gao Song and Huili are lying. If Gao Song is true, then Huili has a problem."

"Sir, Hui Li said she left Anyang City within nine days. Do you want to go to Wanzhou to verify?" Yao Huan asked.

"Let's not go now. It's a long way to go to Wanzhou, and it consumes our energy going back and forth. If it was Huili who did it, I hope she can surrender."

"Huili really killed her own sister?" Song Zhuer couldn't believe it.

"I don't want to believe it, but Huili needs help. Huimei's fatal blow will definitely not be completed by Huili alone!"

Luo Ning felt very tired.

"Although they are all assumptions, Huili is the most suspicious." Luo Ning tried to convince himself and confirmed his thoughts:

"First of all, when the crime occurred, Gao Song left on the night before the [-]th, and the door was locked inside. Although Huili was going to another place, only she knew when she would return."

Wei Sizhi added:
"Huili's alibi still needs to be confirmed, so the suspicion cannot be ruled out now. Huili returned from Wanzhou and reported her sister missing the next day. Isn't it a little too hasty?"

"Huili had a motive, but I don't know if it was because of this that she acted cruelly!" Meng Xiao also said.

Luo Ning nodded: "I'll go meet her first. Now, she is the key suspect! And that Luo Fang, if Huili is suspected, he can't escape his involvement."

Luo Ning said to Meng Xiao:

"On that day, he was also very sure that the murderer was Gao Song, and took the initiative to provide clues and lead us there. Meng Si, please go find out what happened to his fiancée."

Luo Ning took Song Zhuer to Huimei's home, but now it was just Huili's home.

The door was closed tightly. Luo Ning knocked on the door. Hui Li walked out and was a little surprised to see Luo Ning:
"My lord, please come in."

Huimei was confirmed to have been killed, and Huili had already changed into mourning clothes, looking frail in plain white.

There are two rooms in the main house. Huili took them to the one on the west side: "My sister lives next door. We have been living separately since our parents passed away."

Luo Ning looked around the room and said to Huili: "Huimei is now confirmed to have been killed, so you can run Ruyixuan!"
