Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 360

"Nonsense! Aunt Zhen clearly died of illness in Guanyin Nunnery!" Lu Jitong said angrily.

Lv Mengtong panted heavily, and roared like a beast: "The host of Guanyin Nunnery, Mrs. Yuan Jing, also knew about it, but she dared not tell the truth because of the intimidation of the old man. If you don't believe it, You can ask yourself."

Lu Jitong's face turned pale in an instant, and suddenly he seemed to have lost all his strength, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"Could it be... all of this is true?" Lu Jitong suddenly lost his mind.

Li Canghai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Lu passed away two years ago, is this related to you?"

"That's right, I want to avenge Xuanzhen!" Lu Mengtong said with a sinister smile, "I want him to pay the price he deserves for the evil things he has done!"

"What? Brother... You killed my father?" To Lu Jitong, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Lu Mengtong in shock.

"Murder pays for life. If he killed Xuanzhen, he should pay with his life! However, you can rest assured that he has not been tortured." Lu Mengtong said with a smile, his eyes bloodshot.

Lu Jitong glared at Lu Mengtong, his chest heaved rapidly, and suddenly he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother...you...you..." Lu Jitong supported himself with difficulty, his whole body trembling constantly, and his eyes were full of grief and indignation.

Everyone fell into silence, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, no one could have imagined that the hidden story was so complicated.

Even Li Canghai didn't expect that a murder case would be involved in this.

The things he said about Xuanzhen and Lu Mengtong before were all conjectures. In order to anger Lu Mengtong, some things were indeed made up by him.

But I never expected that the truth would be like this.

The two brothers in front of them seem to have two sides of good and evil, and one can't help feeling that it is God's will.

Lu Jitong was furious, he clenched his fist tightly, wishing to tear Lu Mengtong to pieces.

But when he remembered what Lu Mengtong said, he fell into a painful struggle again.

If, as he said, his father was a complete hypocrite, what would he do?

Lu Jitong suddenly felt very desolate.

This kind of feeling is like, when you are walking in the ice and snow, you are hungry and cold, and you are almost unable to hold on, when you suddenly find a burning stove with a raging flame and a table of delicious food in front of you.

When you reach out, only to find that you have been cheated, there is no stove, no delicious food, only cold.

But just when you think that life can be so miserable, suddenly, you fall into the frozen lake again.

Such repeated blows caused Lu Jitong's life to fall from the clouds to hell in an instant.

"It turns out that I have been living in a deception for so many years, ha, ha ha." Lu Jitong laughed miserably.

Li Canghai looked at Lu Jitong with pity, and shook his head secretly.

However, the case continues.

He ordered someone to take Lu Jitong to rest, stared at Lu Mengtong, and said deeply: "The case of Tao Zhaoxue's murder is now clear. You used Lu Jitong's name to design and kill him. The cruel means are outrageous. Besides, you You also killed a Dongying man, and the murder weapon you killed Tao Zhaoxue was obtained from the Dongying man, am I right?"

Now that he has admitted the crime of killing his father, Lu Mengtong seems to be willing to go all out. He squinted at Li Canghai and said, "That's right, that guy thought I was Lu Jitong. I didn't want to kill him, but he discovered my secret, so I had to kill him." He silenced him. But I don't understand, how do you know that I killed him?"

Lu Mengtong couldn't figure out where he was showing his feet.

"You are very smart. After you killed the Dongpu people, you thought of throwing corpses in the swamp. First, you can make the illusion of falling and falling. Second, the abnormal climate in the swamp can speed up the decay of the corpse, making it unrecognizable. However, you ignore After a while, the bones of the Dongying people have not been destroyed."

Li Canghai glanced at him and said, "According to the characteristics of the bones, I visited the whole city and finally found some clues. I learned that the deceased was related to a group of Dongying people. After investigation, I found this."

Picking up a letter on the evidence table, Li Canghai said indifferently: "This was given to the innkeeper by the deceased before he died so that he could pass it on to his accomplices. It is written in Japanese characters, but Tao Ruo Zhu asked someone to translate it, which means to tell your accomplices that you have bad intentions and should be more vigilant against you."

After a pause, Li Canghai continued, "However, it is precisely this that makes me boldly speculate that you and Lu Jitong are probably brothers."

Lu Mengtong looked at Li Canghai coldly and said, "Why?"

"I have investigated Lu Jitong's reputation. Lu Jitong donated righteousness and donated money, and he was quite a man of pride. How could he be a man with a wicked heart? What's more, when Lu Jitong was arrested, the deceased's accomplices rushed into the county government to rescue him. Combined with Tao Zhaoxue In this case, the murderer is plausible, so I concluded that there is a high possibility that Lu Jitong has a brother who looks very similar." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

"Based on these alone, you conclude that I and Lu Jitong are brothers?" Lu Mengtong squinted at him, but his eyes were still somewhat surprised.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said, "Of course it's more than that. What really made me sure was the news I found out when I became Fan Tong."

Lu Mengtong's eyes widened immediately, he stared at Li Canghai, and said solemnly: "Then Fan Tong is you?"

"Yes, it is indeed me. When I heard Miyauchi Ryosuke call you 'Lu Sang', I became more certain." Li Canghai said calmly.

Lu Mengtong laughed a few times, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Is it necessary to continue the trial now?"

"It is necessary." Li Canghai looked at Lu Mengtong who had obviously given up resisting, and said seriously: "I know that after the death of Patriarch Lu, the job of selling women fell into your hands. I want to know, How did you contact them?"

Lu Mengtong stared at Li Canghai for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "It fell into your lord's hands, I admit it. According to your lord's ability, even if I don't tell you, your lord will find out sooner or later. That's all, I will Just tell the adults."

Immediately, Lu Mengtong muttered softly.

"My lord, I've said everything I need to say. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you to decide." Lu Mengtong laughed.

Li Canghai took a deep look at him, and then waved to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng approached, and after the two whispered to each other for a while, Chang Feng left the county government office with a few yamen servants.

"Lv Mengtong, as you said, murder pays for life. You have killed so many people one after another, it is really unacceptable. This officer now sentences you to death! What else do you have to say?" Li Canghai returned In the warm pavilion, he slammed the gavel and shouted loudly.
