People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 193 The game with the four elephants is over! Complete victory!

Mount Chu is located ninety miles west of Fuyang County. The mountain road is rugged, steep and difficult to navigate. Therefore, even if Lin Feng and the others set out on fast horses late at night, it would already be the right time to reach Mount Chu.

"Uu——"

As everyone tightened the reins, the charging horse suddenly raised its front hooves and stopped.

"Zide, this is Mount Chu." Du Gou introduced the tall mountain peak in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked up, and saw the mountain in front of him, which was about more than 400 feet high. The vegetation on it was lush and the scenery was beautiful. In late autumn, the leaves were golden and spread all over the mountain, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

He said: "What a beautiful mountain."

Du Gou nodded: "The scenery is indeed beautiful, but because the wild beasts on the mountain hurt people and the rumors of hauntings are very fierce, the people nearby will not come to this mountain, and even if they are on their way, they will avoid it. "

"Beasts hurt people?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "Have there always been wild beasts hurting people, or has it just been in the past few years that wild beasts have suddenly hurt people?"

Du Zhaozhao thought for a while and said: "There are indeed wild beasts on this mountain, and it is said that there are also big insects. However, although there are incidents of wild beasts hurting people, they are not many. But in recent years, wild beasts hurting people have happened from time to time, and even The best hunters all died under the claws of wild beasts, and their lungs were ripped out. Since then, even hunters will avoid hunting in this mountain."

Lin Feng sneered and said: "The Four Elephants Organization is really good at calculating. They first use wild beasts to scare away ordinary people and hunters, and then use rumors of ghosts and ghosts to consolidate it, thus turning Mount Zhu into a forbidden land that no living person can enter... In this way, they You can complete your conspiracy covertly without the risk of being exposed."

Those people who were kidnapped by the Four Symbols organization were trapped in the mountain. This matter has been determined based on Zhuo Fan's reaction, so Du Gou now also understands what the so-called rumors of beasts hurting people and ghosts are about. It's over.

He said: "When wild beasts hurt people frequently, the Fuyang County government also called many people to go up the mountain to clear the wild beasts. But often, not long after the wild beasts were cleared, new wild beasts appeared, and the government also I found that those wild beasts did not come down the mountain and would not harm the people outside the mountain. Gradually, the government did not bother to care about it. They just reminded the people not to come to the mountain to cause trouble."

"As for the rumors of ghosts, I personally sent people to investigate, but no problems were found, so Guangshan was gradually ignored."

Lin Feng nodded and said: "You have done enough, and you have been to the mountain many times because of wild beasts and hauntings. However, Zhuo Fan, who was responsible for this matter, was originally the county magistrate of Fuyang County, and later came to Linshui County. , can also monitor you, so with his cooperation and cunning methods, it is not difficult to hide it from you. It is normal that you cannot discover the conspiracy of the Four Elephants Organization."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Zhuo Fan and said, "Mr. Lai Guo, you sent someone to investigate the haunting emergency. You should remember the specific location, right?"

Zhuo Fan nodded: "Of course."

"Then don't waste time."

Lin Feng took a look at the sky and said: "Try to find the place where the people are trapped before it gets dark, otherwise we will be in trouble when it gets dark and the sight is unclear."

When Du Gou heard this, he would not hesitate. He said: "At our speed, another hour will be enough to arrive."

Lin Feng nodded: "Then let's keep going."

…………

An hour later.

The sound of horse hooves stopped neatly.

The dust kicked up by the horse's hooves flew away with the wind, and the vision in front of him quickly returned to clarity.

Lin Feng discovered at this time that they had arrived halfway up the mountain.

However, there is a forest in front of me, with wild grass growing wildly and turning yellow.

The scenery here is not significantly different from the scenery they came all the way.

Du Gou turned over and dismounted and said: "At that time, there was a hunter who was too poor to take the blame, so even though he knew that the mountain was dangerous, he still came to the mountain to hunt."

"And when he was hunting from day to night and had a lot of harvest, just when he was about to go down the mountain, he found that there was a fire in the deep mountain. He felt curious and wanted to know who else would come to the mountain besides him, so he touched it. come over."

"But who would have thought that when he arrived here, he actually found someone's head cut off in the fire, someone holding the head and laughing loudly, someone filling a bowl with blood and drinking it in big gulps... In short, it was terrifying. Extremely.”

"He was frightened at the time. Thinking of the rumors about the haunting of Renshan Mountain, he thought he had encountered a ghost. He screamed and ran away... When he returned to the county seat, it was already dawn, so he hurriedly reported it to the police. .”

"I happened to be working in the county government at that time. When I heard about this, I sent people to investigate. However, the people I sent said that they found nothing abnormal. No brains or blood were found at all. Not even the ashes after the fire was burned. No...so in the end, I regarded it as the hunter's illusion or having a nightmare while resting on the mountain, and did not continue the investigation."

Lin Feng listened to Du Gou's words and nodded.

He got off his horse and walked in the woods. While observing the forest, he said: "His shouting alarmed the people of the Four Elephants Organization. With the ability of the Four Elephants Organization, he could last for a whole night. It’s not difficult to deal with your own traces.”

Du Gou sighed: "I didn't know about the conspiracy of the Four Elephants Organization at the time, otherwise maybe I would have had the chance to save those people at that time."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Don't think too much about the past, it's not too late to find out now."

At this point, he stopped.

He turned around and looked at a tree beside him, lightly touched it with his fingertips, and said, "Come and take a look."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Du Gou and others rushed over quickly.

Du Gou hurriedly asked: "Zide, did you find anything?"

Lin Feng raised his chin slightly and said, "Look at the trunk of this tree. The bark is missing and there are very neat cuts. This must have been cut out by some kind of sharp blade."

"And here..."

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the tree behind him. He pointed at the brown bark on the tree with his fingertips and said, "Look at the gaps in the folds of the bark. There are some red spots inside."

"Red dot?"

Du Gou came forward and took a closer look. His eyes widened slightly and he said, "Blood stains?"

Lin Feng nodded and said: "It is indeed a blood stain, but the bark of this tree is brown, and the blood stain is not big, and it is still hidden in the gaps between the bark folds. I guess those people from the Four Elephants Organization, in the middle of the night, I probably didn't find any blood stains when I was dealing with them, so I ignored this place, otherwise it would have been covered with soil, and then it would really be impossible to tell."

Du Gou listened to Lin Feng's words and took a closer look at the deeply hidden blood stains. He couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, your eyes are too good... If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have noticed it even in broad daylight." , Sixiang Organization and they are operating late at night, and they will definitely not be discovered."

Lin Feng just smiled when he heard this: "As a qualified criminal investigator, you must have a pair of eagle eyes. You must not let go of any details wherever you look... Not to mention, what I am best at It’s about observing details that other people tend to overlook.”

Du Gou nodded repeatedly and said, "So, the presence of blood and traces of human presence can prove that the hunter was right and that we have really found the right place?"

When Sun Fujia and Zhao Shishi heard this, they both looked at Lin Feng nervously and expectantly.

Lin Feng nodded lightly: "This is natural."

Seeing Lin Feng nod, Sun Fujia and others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if they were 90% sure, they still couldn't rest assured if Lin Feng didn't nod.

Unknowingly, Lin Feng had essentially become their spiritual leader.

"Where will the people be hidden?"

Sun Fuga looked around and frowned: "In addition to mountains, there are woods around here... Do we need to send people to search the mountains?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's useless."

Several people hurriedly looked at him and heard Lin Feng say: "The woods cannot trap thousands of people, nor can they hide thousands of people... Since the Four Elephants Organization has decided to trap them to death from starvation and thirst, they must be sure They can't escape, which means..."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice: "It must be a sealed environment with a large space and absolutely no way to escape."

"It's a big space? A closed environment?" Sun Fuga frowned.

Lin Feng continued: "Moreover, this place must not be discovered by outsiders. Even if there are hunters climbing uncontrollably, even if the yamen comes again to investigate ghosts and clean up wild beasts, they will not be discovered easily..."

Sun Fuga frowned and said: "Then we can directly rule out the woods. After all, if there is anything in the woods, as long as someone passes by, they will find it."

Zhao Shiwu was confused: "If it's not a forest, what else could it be? In addition to mountains, this mountain is just trees."

"Correct!"

At this time, Du Gou suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Zhao Shishi, and said: "It's a mountain! Mountains are possible!"

"Is it possible in the mountains?" Zhao Shiwu was even more confused.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "It seems that Duke Lai has some ideas?"

Du Gou quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "When I was suppressing bandits in Laizhou, I entered a cave. There is a cave inside the cave, which is a naturally formed cave."

"So...if there is a similar cave in this mountain, and if the cave is larger, it will be enough to accommodate thousands of people...Moreover, the cave is inside the mountain, and outsiders cannot enter and will never be discovered!"

When the knowledgeable Sun Fuga heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Although I have never seen a cave, I have read corresponding records in books..."

He hurriedly asked Lin Feng: "Zide, is it really a cave?"

Everyone looked at Lin Feng nervously, and saw Lin Feng turning to face the lush mountain, and said with a smile: "Yes or no, we will know if there is a cave leading to the mountain, right?"

"Yes, search the cave!"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou immediately said: "Search immediately!"

Lin Feng reminded: "They will be active here, which means that the entrance is definitely not far from here. Just focus on it and search within two kilometers up and down."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou looked at the guard and said directly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you search quickly!"

When the guards heard this, they did not dare to waste any time and quickly separated to conduct a search according to Lin Feng's request.

Lin Feng said: "Let's join in, the sky is getting darker and darker, and we don't have much time."

Du Gou and others naturally had no objection.

Soon, dozens of people, including Lin Feng and others, started searching.

They had a clear purpose and moved along the mountain, pushing through the dense grass, to look for any hidden caves.

Just like that, half an hour passed. Suddenly, an excited voice suddenly sounded: "Father! Come and see!"

When Lin Feng, who was searching, heard this, he suddenly raised his head and quickly looked at Zhao Shiwu.

He saw Zhao Shiwu standing in front of a big stone and waving to him.

"There is something abnormal here." Zhao Shiwu shouted to Lin Feng. Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he quickly walked over without any hesitation.

Du Gou and Sun Fuga saw this and hurried over.

Soon, everyone gathered around Zhao Shiwu. Zhao Shiwu raised his hand, touched the big stone in front of him, and said, "This big stone does not look like it was formed naturally."

Lin Feng heard this and looked directly.

The stone in front of me was nearly two feet high, about one foot wide, and half a foot thick. It was simply a giant stone. If it fell down, it would definitely crush the four of them into a pulp.

And there are obvious traces of tool grinding on the stone.

It looked as if it had been cut out from somewhere.

Lin Feng came to the side of the stone and found that the stone was embedded in the mountain. There were many gravels around it, as if the stones from the top of the mountain had fallen and piled up here naturally.

"Get these gravel away." Lin Feng said.

The guards moved quickly.

Soon, the rubble around the giant stone was cleared away, and as the rubble was cleared away, the outline of a cave hidden behind the giant stone, completely blocked by the giant stone, came into view.

"Cave! There is a cave behind this rock! Foster father, is this the cave we are looking for?"

Zhao Shiwu quickly looked at Lin Feng and saw Lin Feng nodded slightly with a smile: "Fifteen, you did a good job. If we can save these people this time, you will play an important role."

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he immediately grinned.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at the stone in front of him, and said, "This stone has been completely embedded in the cave. If the people in the cave don't have tools, they can't move it away with just human power."

"That is to say..."

He looked at Sun Fujia and others and said: "Just this one stone is enough to make thousands of people feel that there is no way to the sky and no way to the earth... They are completely trapped and die here!"

The pupils in Sun Fujia's eyes were beating violently, and he couldn't help but said: "The Four Elephants Organization is really cruel. No wonder they didn't kill these people with their own hands. Why do they do it themselves when they can do it with just a stone?"

Du Gou also said: "And no one comes to Renshan on weekdays. Even if someone comes, even we have to work so hard to find this place, and others will never notice it... Therefore, in their eyes, trapping those people to death , there is really no possibility of any accident happening.”

"In less than five days... I finally caught up."

Lin Feng let out a long breath, and immediately said: "Find tools quickly, and find more people to save people!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the guards said nothing. Some turned around and rode down the mountain to call more people, while others rushed to the farmer's house to borrow tools.

Then they quickly returned to the mountain with people and tools.

When they returned, it was completely dark, but this did not affect their efforts to save people.

Because the big stone had been completely embedded in the cave, it was so tight that it could not be moved at all, so Lin Feng made a quick decision and ordered people to use tools to knock the stone into pieces, break the big stone into pieces bit by bit, then transport the gravel away, and then continue to knock, Until the size and weight of the big stone are reduced to a certain level, and finally hundreds of people use ropes to pull it...

boom!

Then a bang was heard.

The stone that completely blocked the entrance of the cave was finally pulled by everyone, and then they pulled it back with all their strength.

The stone immediately fell backwards.

It directly hit the ground and shook it several times, and dust instantly rose up all over the sky.

But as the stone fell, the entrance to the cave that was completely blocked by it finally came to light again.

Lin Feng said: "Quick! Go and see if there is anyone inside."

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he quickly rushed in with a torch. As soon as he entered, he shouted: "There are people! There are many people here! They are not dead, they are still alive, hurry up and save people..."

When the government officials and guards heard this, they rushed in without any hesitation.

"They're really here! We really did it! We really rescued them!"

At this moment, even the calm Sun Fujia and the gentle and elegant Du Gou could not help but dance excitedly.

They only felt that their noses were a little sore. In order to find and rescue these people, they had hardly stopped for the past few days. They were either rushing or investigating cases. They had been struggling with despair and hope. The hard work and pressure involved, Only they themselves know.

And now, they really did it!

"Zi De!"

Sun Fuga suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Feng, and Du Gou also looked at Lin Feng with red eyes.

Then Lin Feng smiled gently at them and said, "I saw it, we did it."

…………

The next night.

Linshui County, county government.

The closed door was pushed open, and the firelight outside the door suddenly broke in, dispelling the darkness in the room, causing Zhang Mo and others who were tied to the pillar to subconsciously squint their eyes to adapt to the sudden light.

Zhang Mo took a while to adapt and then fully opened his eyes. At this time, he found a figure standing in front of the door.

When he saw clearly who the visitor was, he immediately sneered and said: "I wonder who is so leisurely and carefree that he comes to see us at night. It turns out to be the majestic master of Dali Temple..."

Lin Feng walked in with a smile and said: "There is a prize for betting, guess what I came to see you for?"

Zhang Mo laughed, looked at Lin Feng with a mocking face, and said, "Don't tell me, are you here to beg me to tell you the identity of the ninth person?"

Before Lin Feng could speak, he continued: "If that's the case, just give up on this idea. I said that I will never tell you any of our secrets again. Don't even think about knowing anything from me... and It's been six days now, and those ants have no water or food, and they should almost die of thirst and starvation. Even if you beg me now, it's too late."

Hearing this, the other seven people also burst into laughter.

They all know that if they fall into the hands of the imperial court, they will definitely die, so they have no worries at all now.

Lin Feng listened to their laughter and also laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

Seeing Lin Feng laughing too, Zhang Mo couldn't help but frown.

Then, he saw Lin Feng looking at him with a smile and said, "It's really interesting to see some self-righteous evil people laughing stupidly. I really can't help but laugh."

"What did you say?" Zhang Mo was stunned.

Lin Feng stared at Zhang Mo, suddenly stopped smiling, and said seriously: "Zhang Mo, do you still remember what I said to you when I left here last time?"

Zhang Mo was startled at first, but soon his expression suddenly changed: "You..."

Lin Feng nodded and said slowly: "Last time I lied to you, trying to get your secret, but you saw through it, and you laughed at me for a while... I told you at that time, when The next time I come back to see you, I will truly share with you the good news that I have rescued all the people. That is no longer a lie to you, but a fact..."

"Now……"

Lin Feng watched Zhang Mo's pupils dilate little by little and his expression became stiffer. He smiled softly and said, "I'm here to share with you - I have rescued the innocent people who were trapped by you in Mount Li."

brush!

Zhang Mo and the other seven people all had their eyes widened.

They looked at Lin Feng blankly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"How... how could you actually find them?"

"Even we don't know where they are, how could you really do it in such a short period of time!"

They didn't want to believe it.

But Lin Feng had already turned around and said calmly: "If you want to know the specific process... you can just ask Zhuo Fan after he is locked up with you."

"Zhuo Fan!!!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Mo's whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.

He watched Lin Feng's leaving figure, watched the door being closed again, watched everything around him fall into darkness, his lips trembled violently: "He found Zhuo Fan, he really rescued those people, he really didn't lie to me... …”

…………

Lin Feng left the room where Zhang Mo and others were detained and came to another room not far away.

Pushing the door open, he saw Zhuo Fan, who was tied into a rice dumpling and sitting on the cold ground against the corner.

Zhuo Fan lowered his head, as if he was falling asleep, but as Lin Feng entered, he opened his eyes.

After seeing Lin Feng, many expressions of resentment, anger, unwillingness, fear, etc. quickly flashed through his eyes, but in the end, all these expressions quickly disappeared.

There was no ripple in his voice, almost deathly calm: "Have you rescued those ants?"

Lin Feng walked up to Zhuo Fan, squatted down, and looked directly at Zhuo Fan: "That big rock is indeed difficult to deal with, but fortunately, we have more people and more tools."

After hearing the word big stone, Zhuo Fan's pupils jumped a few times uncontrollably. At this moment, without Lin Feng saying anything, Zhuo Fan already understood everything.

"So, you are here to show off your victory to me? Are you mocking me as a loser as a winner?" Zhuo Fan asked.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "I have just shared the good news with Zhang Mo and the others. I don't like to do the same thing twice."

"Then who are you?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhuo Fan and said slowly: "I want to talk to you about someone."

"A person? Who?"

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "The woman who was brought to the shipwreck by you and finally strangled to death by you...who was she?"
