Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 102 The final enemy is you!

Lu Qing said meaningfully: "Li Mo, when you came here, didn't you notice that something was missing? When you killed someone and left, was there something very important missing?"

"thing?"

There was a look of doubt in Li Mo's eyes.

He subconsciously looked around the room and then looked at Qian Ming's body.

Suddenly, he discovered something, his eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically in an instant.

"this.……"

He was completely shocked.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Finally found out? I thought one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper Club had great abilities. Now it seems that I am still a little disappointed."

"Such an obvious difference, and you, the murderer, only discovered it now?!"

Li Mo's expression changed again and again.

Li Hengyun couldn't help but ask, "Lu Shaoqing, what's missing?"

How come he didn't know what was missing? And why did Lu Qing know?

At this time, Lu Shi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at Li Hengyun and everyone else who were looking confused with some excitement. This time, he was not confused anymore.

Lu Qing then looked at Lu Shi and said calmly, "Lu Shi, don't be so proud. Bring me what I asked you to find."

Hearing this, Lu Shi jumped off the eaves and said, "Bring it here right away."

He quickly asked someone to bring up a tray.

And on the tray, there was a dagger flashing with blood.

Lu Qing looked at Li Mo and said, "Li Mo, doesn't it look familiar to you? This is the weapon you used to kill Qian Ming."

"Then you know that ..."

Lu Qing's eyes flickered, and he said meaningfully: "Where did we find this murder weapon? Why did the dagger that was supposed to be left on Qian Ming's body disappear?"

"Aren't you curious?"

Inside the private room of the restaurant.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the blood-stained dagger on the tray.

Everyone was still confused and didn't know where the dagger was found.

Li Mo's eyes were even wider, and the expression in his eyes changed again and again.

It can be seen that at this moment, he is definitely not calm.

Even Li Hengyun, the military officer of Jingzhao Yin, who had been dealing with similar incidents for many years, had a look of thought and confusion in his eyes at this moment.

He turned his head to look at Lu Qing, his eyes moving slightly.

"Where did you find it?"

Li Mo couldn't help it and finally spoke.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't I just say that Qian Ming used his last breath before he died to leave us the most crucial clue?"

"And the dagger that was supposed to remain in his wound disappeared. It must have been done by him."

Li Mo's expression changed.

But I still can't figure it out. It's just a dagger, and there's no handwriting of his own on it. How could Qian Ming point the finger of murderer at himself?
How he could make such great use of a dagger.

Lu Qing looked at Li Mo and saw through what Li Mo was thinking at a glance.

He pointed to the window and said, "See? There's blood there."

Li Mo looked over quickly.

His brows suddenly frowned.

Lu Qing said, "Are you confused? You killed Qian Ming and Qian Ming kept struggling, but you didn't fight on the window, so why is there blood there?"

Li Mo frowned: "I'm not the murderer, how can I know whether the murderer and the deceased fought there."

"Do you want to continue playing dumb?"

Lu Qing didn't care. He said, "There are no signs of a fight on the window, only bloodstains. And the bloodstains were not splashed there, but stained there."

"And you didn't escape through the window. After all, if you escaped from there, you wouldn't be able to hide it from the dog below and the people in the backyard."

"So, obviously, excluding these possibilities, there is only one possibility left."

"The blood on the window was caused by Qian Ming himself."

Lu Qing walked to the window, raised his hand, put it on the window where the bloody palm print was, and gently pushed it, and the tightly closed window opened.

He said, "See? This is the blood that flowed from the window."

"I think the deceased must have left it there on purpose. He only had one breath left at that time, and he didn't have time to write the murderer's name, so he came to the window with that breath, pushed it open, pulled out the dagger, and threw it directly out of the window."

"After that, he ran out of breath and fell down. The place where he fell down now was very close to the window."

“And this is all the clues he left for us with his last breath.”

When everyone heard this, they were all skeptical. Is this really the case?

The missing murder weapon was not taken away by the murderer at all.

But the deceased threw it out himself!
If this is true, then why would the deceased do this?
Why did Lu Qing say that this was the key evidence used by the deceased to tell them the identity of the real murderer?

Everyone was a little confused.

Li Mo was also puzzled.

Lu Qing continued, "Of course, the above were all my guesses at first, but the waiter said that the dog under the window barked an hour ago."

"Dog, why is it barking? No outsiders have come by, which means something may have scared it."

"So, I guess that the missing murder weapon might be the reason why the big black dog below is barking."

"However, in order to confirm my guess, I still need to conduct an actual investigation. The result is..."

Lu Qing looked at Lu Shi.

Seeing that he finally had a chance to appear, Lu Shi quickly seized the opportunity, coughed, and said, "At that time, our Shaoqing Lord whispered to me, actually asking me to send someone to check the doghouse downstairs to see if there was any blood-stained weapon or something like that."

"As a result, you all saw it. This bloody dagger was picked up from the doghouse under the window."

Everyone finally nodded in understanding.

In this way, Lu Qing's series of inferences have been verified.

There is absolutely no problem in proving Lu Qing's inference.

A perfect chain of evidence is formed.

This murder weapon was thrown by the deceased.

Li Hengyun suddenly asked, "Lu Shaoqing, may I ask why Qian Ming did this? And why... did he say that this means the murderer is Li Mo?"

Everyone looked at Lu Qing quickly, their eyes filled with the same confusion.

Lu Qing laughed and said, "Qian Ming did this to tell us the real murderer."

"Besides, he has clearly told us the name of the murderer."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Qing glanced at Li Mo, whose expression was becoming increasingly ugly, and said, "You are actually focusing on the wrong thing."

"The murder weapon is actually not what Qian Ming wants us to focus on."

"Because the murder weapon is a very common dagger. With the murder weapon, we can't find anything at all."

"So, don't focus on the murder weapon, focus on the other things that the murder weapon brings to our attention."

Lu Shi's head was full of question marks, and he asked, "Other things? Lord Shaoqing, what are they?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Li Hengyun's eyes flashed and he said, "Dog!" Everyone was stunned: "Dog?"

Lu Qing looked at Li Hengyun with some surprise. He didn't expect that Li Hengyun could think so quickly about trivial matters and his mind worked so fast.

Li Hengyun and Lu Qing looked at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "Lu Shaoqing, what I said is correct!?"

Everyone looked at Qin Ziyi.

Lu Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "General Li is right, it's a dog!"

The big black dog barking non-stop under the window is the most important clue Qian Ming left for us."

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Li Mo no longer had the confidence he had just now.

His expression changed completely.

But Lu Shi was still confused: "Sir Shaoqing, what happened to that big black dog? How can it tell us the name of the murderer?"

Seeing that some of his men and the crowd were thinking deeply, while others were still confused, Lu Qing did not want to keep them on suspense and said, "A dog is also called a dog, and a black dog is a black dog. What word can be formed by putting the two words together?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

Li Hengyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mo! Mo means silence! Black Dog, put them together to form the word Mo!"

"Mo... Li Mo... this..."

He looked suddenly at Li Mo.

The others were also enlightened and were all extremely shocked.

"I see!"

"Qian Ming threw the dagger just to make us pay attention to the black dog under the window, because the black dog is Li Mo's name!"

"I see!"

"Lu Shaoqing is really amazing. Who would have thought that Qian Ming would leave such a clue!"

"This clue is probably only known to Lu Shaoqing. No one else will be able to find it."

Everyone couldn't help being shocked, and looking at Lu Qing's expression, they admired him even more.

General Li looked at Lu Qing, and there was also shock in his eyes.

Although he also guessed what Black Dog meant, that was completely a hint given by Lu Qing.

If it weren't for Lu Qing's hint, he would have had no idea.

Lu Qing, you are really smart!

No wonder His Majesty wants him to be in charge of this case!
As for Li Mo, his pupils shrank and his face turned frighteningly pale.

He looked at Lu Qing nervously, shaking his head uncontrollably, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you..."

"This, this is all your inference, it can't be true, you still can't convict me!"

Li Mo said loudly.

As he said before, he had helped the government to judge many cases in Yizhou, and he had a very good understanding of the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty...
Even if Lu Qing said this, it would only prove that he had doubts, not that he was guilty.

After all, inferences cannot be taken as ironclad evidence.

Upon hearing this, Li Hengyun and others looked at Li Mo with anger on their faces.

They all believed Lu Qing's inference, but Li Mo still refused to plead guilty, and they had no way to deal with it.

I'm really angry!
"Li Mo, do you really think I have no evidence?"

Unexpectedly, when Lu Qing heard Li Mo's sophistry, he not only did not feel embarrassed or angry, but instead laughed softly.

Li Mo looked at Lu Qing's weird smile and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He didn't believe that Lu Qing could find any evidence. He knew that he had done it very cleanly and definitely didn't leave any evidence.

However, when he remembered that Lu Qing had deduced his name, he became a little unconfident again.

Lu Qing, he... does he really have evidence?
Lu Qing looked at Li Mo's changing expression and said, "Li Mo, you said you didn't come to the restaurant, right?"

"Of course I've never set foot in a restaurant!"

"Then can you explain to me..."

Lu Qing looked at Li Mo and said meaningfully, "Why is there a greasy stain from the restaurant's signature dish on the back of your clothes?"

"what?"

Li Mo was startled and turned around to look.

The others also quickly looked behind Li Mo.

Sure enough, they hadn't noticed before that there were some brown oil stains on the back of Li Mo's clothes.

The waiter went over and smelled it, his eyes suddenly widened: "This is really the taste of our signature dish, this is something that other restaurants don't have, only our restaurant has it!"

After the waiter's words, everyone understood.

They all looked at Li Mo.

Li Hengyun's face turned cold at this time, and he snorted, "Li Mo, just now, you said that Lu Shaoqing had no evidence. Now, the ironclad evidence is on you, what else do you have to say!?"

Lu Shi also sneered: "You said you haven't been here, but you have the restaurant's signature dishes on you. Li Mo, how do you explain this?"

“I…I…”

Li Mo couldn't stop shaking his head.

He really had no idea that vegetable oil was stained on his body.

He suddenly remembered that when he killed Qian Ming, Qian Ming had struggled and knocked over the table with him. Could it be... that he was infected at that time?

Li Mo's face changed again and again. Suddenly, he turned around and ran outside, rushed to the window, and jumped out directly.

He actually escaped!

The masters of Dali Temple were well prepared and rushed out quickly with quick eyes and hands.

When Lu Shi and Li Hengyun saw this, they were shocked and ordered people to chase after them.

Lu Qing said calmly: "No need to chase him, one of the Big Dipper is Kaiyang, he can't escape!"

"I have already ordered people to wait down below for him to escape."

Li Hengyun was stunned: "Lu Shaoqing, did you know that he would escape?"

Lu Qing laughed and said, "If he doesn't run away, how can we be sure that he is the murderer?"

"You know, my men were all guarding the window just now. If my men had stopped him, how could he have escaped so easily?"

"this.…."

Li Hengyun frowned for a moment. Frankly speaking, he didn't understand Lu Qing's behavior and thought it was unnecessary.

So, he asked, "Lu Shaoqing, doesn't he have irrefutable evidence?"

"irrefutable evidence?"

Lu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "No, there is actually no hard evidence."

"Li Canjun, didn't you notice that when he first came, his body was very clean, without any oil stains at all?"

"what?"

Li Hengyun was stunned.

Lu Shi and others also looked at Lu Qing suddenly.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Didn't he just say that he would not be deceived by me? Then I will deliberately deceive him and see how it goes."

"Look, I still tricked him."

"How could he have left any evidence when he was such a cautious guy? The oil stain was actually secretly put there by me. It's a pity... he had something to hide and blew himself up."
