Chapter 292 - 184 Playing with Fire, One Burns Oneself
Luo Ling single-handedly supported her grandmother and often did manual labor, so having calluses on her hands wasn’t strange. However, even if she were much stronger than the average woman, it would not have been easy for her to kill several adult men all by herself.
If Luo Ling was not the murderer, then the only person who could have made her willing to take the blame wasn’t Su Luan, it must have been Liu Shisan! The one etched into her very marrow! Only he could drive her to such lengths!
"You’re saying Liu Wen isn’t dead!" the County Magistrate Song exclaimed, aghast. He had personally seen the beggar’s body cold, his complexion cyanotic, already breathless! After finding nothing unusual, he had ordered the body to be thrown into the Morgue.
Xiao Song looked at him expressionlessly, "The Su Family is of the same heritage as the Medicine King; is it so strange they could concoct a drug that simulates death?"
That emotionless gaze sent shivers down County Magistrate Song’s spine.
Xiao Song glanced at the Clerk who had stopped writing and then continued, "Once you’ve finished, send it to Lady Su for her to stamp."
Xiao Song didn’t doubt the truth that Su Luan disclosed, because he had never sensed that Su Luan had feelings for Mu Qilang similar to the deep feelings Luo Ling had for Liu Wen. Even if Mu Qilang truly met a tragic death and she genuinely grieved, it would not have been enough to drive her to insanity to commit murder herself.
Before coming to the Su residence, Xiao Song’s thoughts were the same as Ran Yan’s: even if Su Luan truly was the murderer, avenging her husband could be understood. However, now that he knew the real truth, Xiao Song felt that if he gave too lenient a sentence, it would be a disservice to her ruthless methods!
