People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 201 Showdown! My official, Lin Feng from Dali Temple!

"Bledo, right?"

At this time, Zhao Xieyang, the captain of Shenshan County, looked coldly at Bullido, the leader of the Western Region caravan, and sneered: "There are two corpses in the box of your caravan, and you just tried so hard to prevent me from searching. These boxes, say..."

He suddenly shouted sharply and stared at Bullido with sharp eyes: "Did you hide these two corpses? Did you kill the person?"

When Bullido heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He quickly shook his head and said: "No...it's not me, County Captain Mingjian. Xiaomin is just a diligent and honest ordinary businessman. He only earns some hard-earned money. He has never done anything criminal, let alone murder." , the villain really has no idea what corpses are in the box."

"You don't know at all? I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Zhao Xieyang waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, arrest them all and put them in prison! I want to see how hard-boned you foreigners are and how long you can keep your words!"

When Blido and other caravan members heard this, their faces instantly became panicked.

Bullido hurriedly said: "County Captain Mingjian, this really has nothing to do with us. We really don't know why there are corpses."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and his fingertips were rubbing the jade pendant in his sleeves. After thinking for a while, Lin Feng said: "The county lieutenant is not targeting Bullido specifically. In fact, Bullido's obstruction just now was too suspicious, and the body is there." In the boxes in their caravan, they will suspect that Bullido and the others are quite normal... We have no reason to obstruct them, and we cannot do so unless we take the initiative to reveal our identities."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Lin Feng closed his wide sleeves and nodded slightly: "At least find out first whether this case is related to us..."

He kept pacing back and forth, looking very anxious: "What should we do? We can't be locked up here forever, right? If they never solve the case, won't we never be able to go to Chang'an?"

Chen Miao paused slightly, then smiled quickly and said, "What can happen to me? I just went to gain experience and connect with each other. But aren't you Lin Sizheng very anxious? I'm worried about you."

When everyone saw that Lin Feng had made a decision, they naturally would not object. Just like that, everyone was taken to the county prison along with the caravan and others.

"Pooh!"

In the case at hand, it is obvious that the Shenshan County government used severe torture.

Lin Feng said slowly: "There is also the mysterious reporting letter, I don't know what happened...I reported that the Jiangyang thief was hiding in the inn, but two bodies were found...What is this anonymous reporting letter for that Jiangyang thief? Or is it for these two corpses? Is it for the caravan? Or... is it for us hiding in the caravan?"

As he spoke, he looked at the guards who were eating and drinking outside the cell, and said: "We know nothing about the case now and have no way to investigate it, so we will wait until Bledo, who was taken away for questioning, comes back. Now that you know some information, you will be able to make a clear target when you understand the case and what to do."

When Sun Fuga and others saw this scene, their expressions also changed slightly.

With a creak, the door of the cell was opened, and Bullido was pushed in brutally by the jailer. If Zhao Shiwu hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold Bullido up, Bullido would have fallen to the ground.

"Zide, what should we do?" Sun Fujia asked Lin Feng.

The only difference was that when he was first taken away, his original fine clothes had disappeared, and there were some obvious whip scars on his inner clothes. His hair was scattered, his face was pale, and he could not walk steadily, and he needed to be supported by the jailer. Full of anxiety and trepidation.

Listening to Chen Miao's words, Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he smiled: "You have something urgent to go to Chang'an? Are you in such a hurry?"

"Blido, how are you? How have they treated you?"

Looking at the dark cell with no daylight, smelling the unpleasant smell of moisture, and stepping on the wet ground that seemed to never dry, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that after a few months, he would be imprisoned again. Arrive at the prison.

"Not to mention……"

When the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple review local cases every year, they see many such cases that have obvious loopholes and are beaten to death. Although they are often sent back to the local government for re-examination, they are still repeatedly banned.

The jailer locked the door and spat at the same time: "I didn't expect you, a foreigner, to be so tough-mouthed, but this time is just an appetizer. If you continue to be so tough-talking, it won't be so easy to come back."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Chen Miao realized that Lin Feng had already planned it. He quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, let's wait for Bullido to come back first. Counting the time, he has been taken out for almost an hour. It's almost time to ask That’s it.”

However, compared to the prison when I first crossed over, it was dirtier and messier here. The Prison Department Prison in Chang'an had a better experience.

He was a successor who had high hopes for his family, and he had to compete with others in shouting when he went to a brothel. How could he have suffered like this?

"But now that a case has occurred here, the spies of the Four Elephants Organization will definitely pay attention. If we reveal our identities now, the people of the Four Elephants Organization will know immediately, and then we will be really in danger."

When Lin Feng and Sun Fujia heard this, they looked at Bullido who was covered with scars. Their expressions were not very good. Although the court had always emphasized that torture should not be used for no reason, torture could only be used as an auxiliary method and was not allowed to be used unless necessary. However, the local government The yamen always regard auxiliary means as the main means, and this can easily lead to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions.

After saying that, the two jailers cursed and left.

Xiao Man'er and others were also busy looking at Lin Feng.

Everyone subconsciously followed the sound, and Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

They did not expect that the county captain would take someone directly. If they were really imprisoned, their return speed would be affected.

Although there was nothing wrong with Chen Miao's words and his tone was the same as usual, the frequency of his pacing was disrupted at that moment, which made Lin Feng suddenly understand... It seems that this guy is also very concerned about going to Chang'an. urgent.

But Chen Miao couldn't calm down.

An hour later.

Zhao Shiwu supported the weak Bullido and asked with concern.

Lin Feng seemed very calm because of his experience in prison.

Other caravan members also begged for mercy.

But Zhao Xieyang ignored them and directly ordered the government officials to take the people.

The county government prison in Shenshan County.

I saw Bullido being brought back from outside by the jailer.

Does this mean that what the Jinchai inheritance family has to do is also in the near future?

Many thoughts kept popping up in Lin Feng's mind, but his face showed no trace of it. He chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't just sit idly by."

Sun Fujia's pupils twitched slightly. The tacit understanding with Lin Feng allowed him to quickly understand what Lin Feng meant. He said: "So...continue to hide your identity and cooperate with the investigation with the caravan?"

"This case..." He looked at Sun Fuga and said with deep meaning: "I'm afraid it's more complicated than we imagined."

But Bullido just shook his head. His face was full of anxiety and fear, and there was an anxiety that could not be hidden in his expression. He suddenly looked at Lin Feng, quickly pushed Zhao Shiwu away, staggered to Lin Feng, and said anxiously: "Taoist Master, You calculated this disaster, so you must have a way to help me get through it."

He saluted Lin Feng repeatedly, even knelt down and prayed: "Please help me get through the disaster, Taoist priest. For this, I am willing to pay any price. Please save me!"

Seeing Bullido transform from a cold-faced big businessman to the frightened look in front of him in just an hour, Lin Feng took a deep breath, helped Bullido up, and said softly: "Pindao said before that he would help You survived the disaster, so you don’t have to do this. Pindao never makes promises easily, but once he makes a promise, he will definitely keep it."

Upon hearing this, Bullido quickly raised his head in surprise: "Thank you, Taoist Master, thank you, Taoist Master."

Lin Feng shook his head. He asked Bullido to sit in front of him and said, "First tell Pindao what they did and whether they disclosed the situation of the two corpses to you."

Bullido didn't think much and said quickly: "After the county captain Zhao Xieyang ordered people to call me out, he tortured me, asked me why I wanted to kill people, and asked me who I was killing... But the person was not me at all. Killed, I have no idea why there are corpses in the box, the box originally contained the goods I brought from the Western Regions..."

"So I couldn't answer at all. Zhao Xieyang thought that I was deliberately concealing it, so he tortured me. But I really didn't know anything and couldn't answer any of his questions. When he saw this, he gave up temporarily and ordered Someone sent me back.”

Lin Feng listened to Bullido's words, his brain was working rapidly, and he quickly grasped a key point. He said: "They don't know the identity of the corpse?"

Bullido did not expect that Lin Feng could quickly grasp the information about the case, and nodded: "Yes, they don't know who the body is."

"When Zhao Xieyang interrogated me, he asked me why I destroyed the faces of the corpses and what sinister intentions I hid. But I have never even seen the corpses. How could I destroy their faces?"

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly: "The face of the corpse was destroyed? Was it destroyed before being killed, or was it destroyed after being killed?"

This means two very different situations.

The former may be caused by some method used during the murder to cause facial damage to the deceased.

As for the latter... there is a certain probability that it was to conceal the identity of the deceased.

Bullido shook his head: "I don't know about that. Zhao Xieyang didn't say this in detail."

Lin Feng's brain was spinning rapidly. Soon, his heart moved and he asked: "Is the body wearing a coat?"

Bullido looked at Lin Feng with a shocked face, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said quickly: "The Taoist priest is really profound, even this is included."

"That's right, the two corpses were not wearing coats, and it seemed they didn't even have shoes... They even asked me if I had stolen them."

Speaking of this, Bullido couldn't help but said: "Although I am not very rich, I still have enough money to buy some good clothes. How could I steal the clothes of two corpses? Let alone those two pairs. Smelly shoes."

really!

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, feeling certain in his heart.

The face of the deceased was most likely destroyed after death... Without coats and shoes, and the face was disfigured, the most obvious method of identification was lost. In other words, the murderer deliberately made it difficult for people to identify the deceased. He was deliberately concealing the identity of the deceased.

This inference made Lin Feng quickly recall a case he had investigated before.

In the Suizhou Headless Case, after Han Chenglin killed Gan Qing, he concealed the identity of the deceased by cutting off Gan Qing's head.

And the reason why he did this was because once someone discovered Gan Qing's identity, they would immediately think of him who was traveling with Gan Qing, and quickly suspect him...

So, does this also mean that once the identities of the two deceased people are confirmed, people will immediately be suspicious of the murderer?

Did the murderer also travel with the two deceased persons, or live together? Or is there a conflicting hatred that many people know about?

In this case, determining the identity of the deceased is the most urgent thing to do next.

Lin Feng's thoughts were spinning, but he still had a carefree and indifferent expression on his face. He continued: "The two dead bodies were found in the inn. Are there any missing people in the inn?"

Bullido shook his head: "No, Zhao Xieyang also mentioned it when he interrogated me. He said that everyone in the inn was there, so he asked me where I killed the person."

Not from the inn...

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. If he wasn't from the inn, where could he be from? The two corpses were hidden in the box. Could it be that they were killed after arriving in Shenshan County and kept hidden in the box?

But there will definitely be a corpse smell when the body rots, and the box does not isolate the smell, so there is no way that Bullide and the others can't detect it.

Not to mention that Bullido is very concerned about the contents of the box and probably checks it every day...

So, when was this body hidden in the box?

He pondered for a moment and asked insinuatingly: "Did they say how long the deceased had been dead?" Blido shook his head: "No."

Lin Feng thought for a while and asked in a different way: "Did they ask you what time and place you did?"

Bullido couldn't help but said: "Taoist priest, you are really a good calculator. You have calculated everything they asked me..."

really……

Lin Feng said directly: "Why did they ask?"

Bullido said: "They asked me where I was and what I was doing at midnight last night. I said I was sleeping in the inn. They also said I was lying and asked me to find evidence and witnesses... But I was sleeping alone in the room. Go Where can I find witnesses? Taoist priest, do you think they are deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Last night at midnight...

Lin Feng knew in his heart that it seemed that around midnight last night, it was the time of death for the deceased.

And at midnight last night, they were all resting in the inn...

In this way, it can be determined that the deceased was a person in Shenshan County, and he was not killed on the Bulido Trade Road. The scope of searching for the identity of the deceased can be fixed in the county seat of Shenshan County.

However, after killing the deceased, why did the murderer hide in Bullido's caravan box, and what was his purpose?

Frame Bledo's caravan and make Bledo and the others the scapegoats?

If this is the case, then the person who wrote the anonymous letter is probably the murderer.

Or... is he trying to transport the body out of Shenshan County through Bullido's caravan?

Once the body leaves Shenshan County, even if Bledo and the others find it later, they will not know when the body appeared in the caravan. Moreover, as foreigners, Bledo and the others may dispose of the body directly for fear of causing trouble. He will report it to the police, so the murderer is likely to go unpunished.

But if this is the case, then who wrote the anonymous letter?

Also, is that famous gangster really just a cover?

Lin Feng's mind was spinning, and he said, "How did those two deceased people die? How did their faces become disfigured?"

Bullido shook his head: "I don't know, Zhao Xieyang didn't say this."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. Bullido was the subject of torture after all. Zhao Xieyang would reveal some information for the purpose of interrogation, but that was all. If he wanted to know more specific clues, he would have to ask Zhao Xieyang. Just fine.

But his current identity is a Taoist priest, will Zhao Xieyang tell the truth?

Do you want to show off your magical arithmetic skills in front of Zhao Xieyang?

At this moment, two jailers suddenly came over. They took out the keys and opened the lock. Their eyes scanned the faces of everyone in the prison. Finally, they pointed at Lin Feng and said, "Come out, County Lieutenant Zhao wants to interrogate you." you."

After hearing the jailer's words, the expressions of Sun Fuga and others changed.

Looking at Bullido's miserable state now, they could imagine what kind of danger Lin Feng would encounter once he was called out.

Bullido was also shocked: "Taoist Priest!"

Zhao Shiwu stood up and clenched his iron fists tightly.

As long as Lin Feng nodded, Zhao Shiwu would dare to lead Lin Feng out of the prison.

Xiao Maner's eyes were also full of worry.

Lin Feng had a lot of thoughts, and then he gently shook his head to Sun Fujia and others, signaling them to be calm. He stood up slowly and said: "Don't worry, I believe that County Lieutenant Zhao is a reasonable person. I have nothing to do with this." The case has nothing to do with it, and he will not embarrass Pindao."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Seeing Lin Feng leaving with the jailer, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but worry: "Mr. Sun, will my foster father be okay? This County Captain Zhao doesn't look like a good official."

At this moment, Xiao Man'er, even the thoughtful Xiao Man'er, lost her usual calmness due to impatience, and looked at Sun Fujia with the same worry.

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng's back as he left calmly, recalling how calm and wise Lin Feng had always been. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Zide is not an impulsive person. He wants to investigate the case and solve the problem. We have to contact people from the county government and get more clues. This trip is necessary, we just have to wait patiently."

He comforted everyone, but he was also full of worries. After all, Lin Feng was in a very bad situation now. Lin Feng could not be exposed easily. Once exposed, he would attract the Four Elephants Organization... But if he was not exposed, this Zhao Xieyang would not be easy to deal with. of……

At this moment, even he couldn't think of a way to break the situation, so he could only pray for Lin Feng in his heart.

…………

As Sun Fujia said, if Lin Feng wanted to get more clues, he had to meet Zhao Xieyang, so when he learned that Zhao Xieyang wanted to see him by name, he went happily.

Under the leadership of the jailer, they walked through the dark corridor and came to a room filled with torture instruments.

At this time, in the room, County Lieutenant Zhao Xieyang was sitting at a table.

There are whips and wine and food on the table.

Not far away is a charcoal stove. The charcoal stove is burning red. A soldering iron placed in the charcoal stove is also red.

There were many instruments of torture hung on the walls, and the dark red blood dyed these instruments red, giving people a great sense of inner oppression as soon as they entered the room.

If he were an ordinary prisoner, Lin Feng estimated that he would be frightened to the point of weakness as soon as he entered this place.

Zhao Xieyang glanced at Lin Feng who was brought in, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The wine splashed everywhere, and then he banged the wine bowl and placed it heavily on the table.

Just such a sudden sound would probably frighten most people to death.

But Lin Feng just looked at Zhao Xieyang calmly and said with a smile: "I wonder why County Lieutenant Zhao is looking for Pindao?"

Zhao Xieyang looked at Lin Feng with sharp eyes and said coldly: "I didn't expect that a little Taoist like you would be quite courageous."

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Pindao has never committed any crimes or crimes. He has an open heart and won't be afraid of anything."

boom!

Zhao Xieyang slapped his palm on the table and shouted sternly: "Open heart? I think you are the cunning and scheming murderer!"

Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said, "Didn't County Lieutenant Zhao suspect Bullido just now? Why are you saying that Pindao is the murderer now?"

Zhao Xieyang sneered: "When I wanted to search the box, he resisted. He obviously didn't want me to search the box. Shouldn't I be suspicious of him?"

"And you..."

He stared at Lin Feng with his eyes and said: "Bulido said that you entered the caravan just yesterday morning. As a result, someone died tragically the night you entered the caravan. Do you think... are you suspicious?"

"Buli Duo said that you are profound in Taoism and can predict misfortune, good and bad luck, but I don't believe this. The spirit of Taoism, gods, Buddhas and ghosts, in my opinion, are all lies!"

"You definitely have an agenda when you join the caravan! From this point of view, you are the most suspect!"

He slammed the table again, making the wine bowl on the table buzz loudly, and shouted: "Say! Did you join the caravan just to kill people!?"

Listening to Zhao Xieyang's words, Lin Feng's heart suddenly sank.

Bullido had already told him about joining the caravan.

If this news is leaked, people from the Four Elephants Organization will definitely learn about it.

When they came to the Western Region Caravan to inquire, they were directly driven away by Bullido. They thought that no one would join the Western Region Caravan halfway... But in the end, they learned that someone had actually joined, or five people...

With the ability of the Four Elephants organization, they will definitely react quickly and know that the person joining this caravan is themselves!

"As expected, the plan didn't change quickly..."

Lin Feng let out a long breath. Although he expected that everything would not be smooth sailing, he really did not expect that he would be exposed because of such a problem.

Fortunately, the county captain in front of him should not be from the Four Elephants Organization.

Otherwise... this county lieutenant had already taken action against him, and would not have waited until now to still doubt him with reason.

"Things have happened. It's useless to complain. Think about what to do and survive until tomorrow... As long as you get to tomorrow, everything won't be a problem..."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Xieyang, and asked very seriously: "How many people know about my joining the Western Region caravan? Have you told anyone about it?"

At this moment, Lin Feng's temperament suddenly changed.

The originally calm and free Taoist temperament was directly transformed into the oppression and sharpness of the superior. Along with his commanding tone and powerful momentum, Zhao Xieyang was stunned for a moment.

"You..." Zhao Xieyang looked at Lin Feng's sudden change in momentum and did not react for a moment.

"Say!"

Lin Feng said: "Answer me!"

Zhao Xieyang was frightened by Lin Feng's momentum and said subconsciously: "Only me and the two jailers who tortured him know that we have been staying in the prison and have never had contact with outsiders..."

Only the three of them know, and there is no contact with outsiders... Fortunately, this means that the news has not been leaked yet.

boom!

At this time, Zhao Xieyang finally reacted.

He slammed the table, stared at Lin Feng sharply, his face turned red, as if he was humiliated, and said: "You...you dare to question me? You are so brave. It seems that I am wrong. If you use torture, you won’t confess at all!”

"Come here! Tie up this demon! I want to see how strong your bones are!"

Seeing the two jailers approaching him with ropes, Lin Feng slowly exhaled.

Although only three people currently know their identities, with the occurrence of the case, the Western Regions caravan came into the sight of the Sixiang organization. As long as the people of the Fourxiang organization are more careful, comparing the Western Regions caravans in Lucheng County and Shenshan County, You will know that there are five more people...

Therefore, exposure comes sooner or later.

When the enemy is also a fox, this has become inevitable.

In this case, there is no need to waste time on deceiving Zhao Xieyang.

The most important thing is to solve the puzzle before the Four Symbols organization has time to discover themselves, and to gain a chance to spend today safely for themselves.

Thinking about this, Lin Feng let out a long breath. He ignored the two jailers walking towards him, looked directly at Zhao Xieyang, and said, "Let me introduce myself again, I am Lin Feng, the leader of Dali Temple."
