People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 204 Extremely fast reasoning! Shocked Zhao Xieyang's ability as a detective!

Zhao Xieyang was startled when he heard Lin Feng's sudden inquiry: "Lin Sizheng, what are you?"

Lin Feng said: "Zhao County Lieutenant doesn't need to think too much, just tell me whether it is available or not."

"This……"

Zhao Xieyang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Xiaguan has been busy since he was called out in the morning and has not had time to return to the county government office. Therefore, I need to confirm whether there is anyone who has not come to the county government office for duty."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, County Lieutenant Zhao."

Zhao Xieyang shook his head quickly: "This is what the official should do. I will confirm it now."

After saying that, Zhao Xieyang quickly turned around and left.

Looking at Zhao Xieyang's back, Sun Fujia said: "He doesn't look as unbearable as we thought."

Lin Feng said slowly: "Interrogation by torture is a common method used by local yamen. He is not a special case. If you want to change this, more time and government orders will be needed to slowly push it... So we cannot simply judge him as good or bad. , but his quick reactions and quick thinking are indeed better than those of ordinary county lieutenants."

"Dr. Sun..."

Sun Fujia thought for a while and said: "On the fifteenth day, you can climb to the roof from outside and see if there are any signs of the tiles being disturbed."

Lin Feng raised his head again and looked at the room in front of him.

"And the original goods in the box..."

After listening to Zhao Xieyang's words, Sun Fujia suddenly looked at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng's eyes instantly narrowed and said: "The two government servants took leave due to illness yesterday morning?"

The night before yesterday was the moment when he used six carriages to completely disappear from the sight of the Sixiang thieves who were chasing him. At that time, he speculated that the Sixiang organization would arrange for secret agents in various cities to track his traces. To conduct an investigation, when he arrived in Lucheng County the night before yesterday, he specifically asked Zhao Shiwu and Chen Miao to separate from him, in order to avoid the appearance of five people living in the same inn at the same time, and being discovered by the undercover of the Four Elephants Organization.

Standing on the beam, he looked carefully for a moment with the help of light. Zhao Shiwu then shook his head at Lin Feng and Sun Fujia and said, "There is nothing abnormal. There are no traces on the dust."

"wrong!"

He guessed: "Is there a secret passage in this room?"

"The roof has been ruled out...the organs have been ruled out...the windows can be ruled out even if they are intact...there are still people guarding the door..."

This room originally had no furniture, which saved Lin Feng and the others a lot of effort. They only needed to look for mechanisms on the floor and walls.

Lin Feng touched his chin and said, "Just check it and you'll know."

Lin Feng stood in front of two empty boxes, looking around the walls, floor and these boxes inch by inch, his mind spinning rapidly.

Sun Fuga nodded: "That's good. He is the only one we can use now. He is more responsive, which is not a bad thing."

After listening to Zhao Shiwu's words, Sun Fujia couldn't help but frown. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "I'm sure he didn't come in from the roof. But there is someone outside the door and the window is not damaged. So the murderer could be..." Where did it come in?"

Lin Feng came to the box, looked at the two empty boxes, and said, "Where did they go again?"

But the three of them checked it carefully and found nothing.

Sun Fujia's heart sank: "How could this happen... It didn't come from the roof, nor from the secret passage of the agency. How did the murderer move two dead bodies in and move away two boxes of goods?" ?”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "The wall is a whole piece, without any cracks or other traces. There should be no hidden secret doors... and the floor is not inhabited all year round, only goods are placed, so there is a small layer of dust. , if there is a secret door on the floor, when the secret door is opened, there will be very obvious cracks in the dust, but there are no such cracks..."

Lin Feng rubbed it gently with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "How is the relationship between the two of them?"

Not long after, Zhao Shiwu's voice came from the roof: "There are no signs of being disturbed. Every tile is tightly fitted, and the moss on it doesn't look like it has been stepped on. No one should have been on the roof."

"Could it be..."

Lin Feng said to Sun Fujia: "Tell me, Bullido arranged guards in front of the door last night to guard these goods. How did the murderer avoid the guards and transport two corpses in?"

He was about to speak, but at this moment, there were footsteps approaching quickly outside the door.

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, climb up to the beam and see if the dust on the beam has been damaged."

Then Zhao Xieyang came to the room quickly and said to Lin Feng: "Lin Si is right, the lower officials have confirmed that there are three people in the yamen who have not come for duty, one of them is the chief clerk, and he is taking a rest this morning, and there are The two are yamen servants. They took leave yesterday morning due to illness and did not come to the yamen for duty today."

In addition, there are exactly two people, corresponding to the number of corpses, and they are also yamen servants, wearing official boots, practicing martial arts, using horizontal swords as weapons, and conveniently collecting various information in the yamen... All of these are almost perfect. Verify Lin Feng's speculation!

"That's right, they both reported illness at the same time yesterday morning and said they were infected with wind and cold." Zhao Xieyang nodded and said: "It just so happens that the Yamen has not had any major events recently and is not very busy, so we let them have a good rest."

Sun Fujia's face became more and more confused: "Did we not find the mechanism, or is there no mechanism?"

Sun Fujia couldn't figure it out at all, let alone Zhao Shiwu. The complexity of this case had long exceeded the limit of his brain's thinking.

His brain was racing again. He took leave yesterday morning, but the time when he really started to disappear from the Yamen's sight was the night before yesterday...

The time when these two yamen servants left the yamen and resumed their freedom of movement coincided with the time of the night before yesterday.

The three of them quickly separated, knocking on the walls and floor of the room.

He withdrew his gaze and carefully inspected the corpse of the deceased to make sure that nothing was missing, and then moved his gaze away from the corpse of the deceased.

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he jumped down quickly, then ran outside and brought a ladder, and climbed up.

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he ran forward without saying a word, stretched out his arms, and easily grabbed the beam of the roof. Then he pushed hard and quickly climbed to the beam.

Zhao Xieyang said: "In general, when we meet, we just nod and say hello, and rarely talk."

Hearing this, Sun Fuga's face was full of confusion. He looked around the room: "It's really strange. It's not an easy task to transport the body in or take the goods out, let alone There is always someone guarding the door..."

Lin Feng looked at the corpse on the ground and the blood clearly stained in the empty box. Suddenly, Lin Feng's pupils jumped suddenly.

Lin Feng smiled and agreed.

"That is to say." He looked at Sun Fuga and Zhao Shiwu and said, "There should be no agencies here."

"So, how did the murderer get in? Is there any other way that we haven't thought of..."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "The relationship is so normal? Are the servants of your yamen so unfamiliar with each other?"

Zhao Xieyang shook his head: "That's not the case. We often perform tasks together, and our relationship is actually not bad. However, the two of them had a conflict before, so the relationship was not very harmonious."

"Everyone else has a good relationship, but the relationship between the two of them is not good..." Lin Feng listened to Zhao Xieyang's words and said with a faint smile: "If one of them has a problem, then no one can suspect the other one, right?"

Zhao Xieyang was startled: "What does Lin Sizheng mean?"

Lin Feng's words were indeed a bit strange. Although Zhao Xieyang didn't know what happened, he also realized that Lin Feng was not kind to the two government officials.

Sun Fuga nodded at this time and said: "There is a deliberate sense of deliberately keeping a distance, more like them."

Zhao Xieyang was a bit astute, and Lin Feng's words were so precise that he couldn't understand anything for a moment, but Sun Fujia's words instantly frightened him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said quickly: "Lin Sizheng...you guys, Do you doubt that these two corpses are... my two brothers?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang, who had an expression of disbelief on his face, and said, "Are the heights and shapes of the two government servants who took leave due to illness similar to the two corpses?"

"This……"

Zhao Xieyang took a closer look at the two disfigured corpses and nodded immediately: "They are really similar."

Lin Feng slowly exhaled, took one last look at the room, and immediately walked out, saying: "Let's go to the residence of those two people and see if they are still there. Then we will know whether the deceased is them. "

…………

A quarter of an hour later.

In front of a courtyard.

Everyone stopped their horses.

Zhao Xieyang looked at the courtyard in front of him and said, "This is Qin Fen's home."

Qin Fen was one of the two yamen servants. He was thin and tall, and had amazing strength in his hands, which matched the corpse of the two dead ones whose neck was broken.

Lin Feng looked at the courtyard in front of him, and saw that the courtyard was not large. The door painted with vermilion paint was tightly closed at the moment, and the white walls were covered with dust.

At this time, there was a very clean spot on the right wall not far from the door.

The rest of the wall was covered with dust, but this part was very clean, as if someone had specially swept away the dust.

But if a normal person removes dust, the entire wall will be cleaned, and it is impossible to only deal with such a small area...

Lin Feng's eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, saying: "Call the door."

Zhao Xieyang quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.

This made Zhao Xieyang's face become increasingly worried.

Lin Feng saw this and simply said: "Break the door!"

Zhao Fifteen had been waiting for Lin Feng's words for a long time. When he heard the words, he turned sideways and slammed into the door.

He was as tall as a mountain, and with the help of his running force, he was like a wild bull charging. With a bang, the door, which was not very strong, was immediately knocked open.

The latch that locked the door snapped.

Zhao Shiwu pushed the door open with both hands, grinned and said, "Father, you can enter."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Thank you."

While saying this, Lin Feng entered with everyone.

Passing through the door, the courtyard can be seen at a glance. I saw that this was a courtyard similar to a courtyard, surrounded by houses, and it was a standard one-in and out courtyard.

There is a thick old tree in the yard, surrounded by two people. Next to the tree is a well. Not far away are some cleaning brooms and other tools.

The ground is paved with stone bricks and is very smooth.

The doors of the left and right wing rooms were closed tightly at the moment, but the door of the main hall directly opposite the door was open at the moment.

As soon as Zhao Xieyang entered, he shouted: "Qin Fen, are you there? Is anyone here?"

Still no one answered.

Lin Feng said: "Go from room to room to see if there is anyone there."

Everyone quickly separated and checked all the rooms one by one.

Lin Feng was not idle either and entered the main hall with the door open.

The main hall is a place used to entertain guests. Generally, families of certain status will divide the main hall and side halls to entertain guests of different statuses.

The main hall in front of you is not very distinctive in decoration. The room is spacious. Under the wall facing the door, there is a small table and stools, which are the master's main seats. There are three on each side against the walls and windows. The tables and stools are the seats for the guests.

At this time, there was a kettle and a water glass on the host's table, and there was also a water glass on the first table on the left.

Lin Feng came to the two tables and first took a look at the water glass on the guest table, and saw that there was half a glass of water in the water glass.

He looked at the cup on the main table again. The cup was full of water.

Sun Fujia followed Lin Feng. When he saw this scene, he said, "There are guests visiting... There should be two people in this room at that time."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and his eyes swept across the main hall inch by inch, from the walls, to the floor, and finally to the tables and stools. He looked at every inch very carefully, not missing any detail.

At this time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered something.

But before he could speak, Zhao Xieyang and others had already returned.

"No."

Zhao Shiwu said: "We checked all the rooms and found no one."

Zhao Xieyang frowned: "The door is locked with a latch from the inside, not locked with a lock from the outside... How could there be no one? Could it be that... those two corpses are really Qin Fen and the others?"

"Lieutenant Zhao, does this Qin Fen have any family?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

Zhao Xieyang said hurriedly: "Qin Fen's parents died early, but he has a wife and children. I heard from him a few days ago that his wife and children returned to their parents' home, so he should be the only one at home now."

Lin Feng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Where is the other person?"

"The other person's parents are still alive and living with him."

"My parents are still alive...but there is no one else in Qin Fen's family..." Lin Feng's eyes flickered and he looked at Zhao Xieyang and said: "Zhao County Lieutenant sent someone to the other person's house to inquire about the information and ask if the other person is there. If not, when did you leave and where did you go?"

Zhao Xieyang was concerned about the safety of his government servants. When he heard this, he immediately ordered someone to inquire without saying a word.

After his servants left, Zhao Xieyang finally couldn't restrain his inner worry. He said, "Lin Si is right, Qin Fen is not at home, but his home is locked...Does this really mean?"

Sun Fujia, Zhao Shishi and others also looked at Lin Feng with solemn expressions.

Lin Feng did not answer Zhao Xieyang in a hurry, but pondered in his heart for a moment, then raised his finger and said: "You guys, please look at this table."

"table?"

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously followed Lin Feng's fingers.

Then he saw that Lin Feng was pointing to the outermost table on the left side against the wall.

"What's wrong with the table?" Zhao Xieyang asked with some confusion.

Lin Feng reminded: "Lieutenant Zhao takes a closer look at this table to see if there is anything wrong with this table."

"Something wrong?"

Zhao Xieyang subconsciously came to the table and looked up. He looked confused at first, but suddenly, he didn't know what he found, and his eyes suddenly widened: "This... this table is missing a corner!"

"What? A corner is missing?"

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he quickly stepped forward to take a look. When he saw that the upper left corner of the table next to the wall was empty, he quickly said: "It is indeed missing, and this corner is missing..."

He moved the table away and could clearly see the condition of the missing corner. He said, "Father, this corner seems to have been cut open with a sharp blade. The cut is very smooth."

Sun Fujia also came to the table, looked at the incision, and said: "And the wood of the incision is very bright in color. It must have been cut not long ago, otherwise it would not be so bright."

Lin Feng listened to the three people's words, smiled, and said: "Look at the table legs again... Yes, the table legs at the corners of the table are missing."

Hearing this, everyone looked down subconsciously.

Then...their pupils suddenly shrank.

"This……"

"Blood stains! There are blood stains on the table legs!"

"Why is there blood stains!?"

Zhao Shishi and Zhao Xieyang both subconsciously exclaimed.

Sun Fujia hurriedly looked at Lin Feng: "Zide, is this... the real crime scene!?"

"What? The crime scene?" Hearing this, Zhao Xieyang looked at Lin Feng fiercely.

Lin Feng faced everyone's looks of surprise, surprise, or disbelief. He did not answer their questions in a hurry, but said: "Wait a minute."

"Wait? What are you waiting for?" Zhao Xieyang asked.

Lin Feng said: "Waiting for news from another Yamen servant."

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he wanted to say anxiously that it would not be too late to let Lin Feng speak first and then wait. It was obvious that Lin Feng had made up his mind to wait for news about the other person. He did not dare to say anything, so he could only pace back and forth anxiously, looking outside constantly. go.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside.

Then I saw a government servant running in quickly.

When Zhao Xieyang saw this yamen servant, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "How is it? Is Zhang Heng at home?"

The yamen servant did not dare to delay and said quickly: "The young man asked his family and they said that Zhang Heng left yesterday morning. Zhang Heng was asked to leave by Qin Fen, but it is not clear where he went. He has not been there until now." After returning home, they also sent people to search for Zhang Heng in the places he often visited, but they could not find Zhang Heng's whereabouts either."

Hearing what the yamen officer said, Zhao Xieyang's heart sank completely.

When a person disappears, he can still be lucky.

But the two disappeared at the same time and left together, and their body shapes completely matched the condition of the corpses. Coupled with the inference given by Lin Feng before... Even if Zhao Xieyang didn't want to admit it anymore, he had to admit it... These two people were probably Those two corpses.

They...were really killed!

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, it's time for you to say it now... Is this really the place where they were killed?"

After everyone heard this, they looked at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng did not delay any more this time. He said directly: "When we were outside the door just now, I don't know if you paid attention to the wall. In the middle of the wall outside, there was a very clean place."

"With normal cleaning, the entire wall will be cleaned, but only that part of the outer wall is clean. Obviously, this is very strange... and the walls next to the road are often very dusty. , even if it is cleaned, within a few days, another layer of dust will inevitably fall on the wall."

"But there is no dust in that clean area. It is obvious...it must have been cleaned out in the near future."

"And why do we need to clean it there? There must be a reason why we have to clean it, for example..."

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "Clean the footprints on the wall."

"Footprints!?" Zhao Xieyang's pupils jumped violently.

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Of the two corpses, one had his neck broken, and there were no signs of struggle on the corpse whose neck was broken, indicating that he was either suddenly killed by someone without suspicion. Either he broke his neck with his hand, or he was suddenly attacked from behind and his neck was broken."

"Combining the two cups in the main hall, we can know that before Qin Fen disappeared, there should be only one guest. In other words, there were only two people in Qin Fen's mansion that night... And your people also said, Zhang Heng was called away by Qin Fen, so the person in Qin Fen's mansion, as expected, should be Zhang Heng."

"But Zhang Heng was also killed at the same time, so Qin Fen couldn't have been killed by Zhang Heng... That also means that Qin Fen's neck could only be broken by a sneak attack by a third person who shouldn't exist. !”

"Then this third person wants to sneak attack Qin Fen. When entering Qin Fen's residence, he will not enter by knocking on the door. So how will he enter?"

Zhao Shiwu suddenly remembered what he had done when he captured Zhuo Fan in Linshui County, and he quickly said: "Climb the wall and jump in!"

"Climb over the wall!? This..." Zhao Xieyang was shocked.

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, the only way to enter the mansion when the door is locked is to climb over the wall. You can enter secretly without alerting the owner... and the wall of this courtyard is very high, so it is impossible to jump directly. To get in, you must use the wall."

"And the walls are covered with dust. As long as you step on them and use force, they will inevitably leave footprints... Therefore, if the murderer wants to leave no clues of his own, he must remove the footprints, and the dust is so obvious. When removing the footprints, a clean area will inevitably be left behind.”

"Combined with another body that was stabbed with a knife, as well as the table here with a corner cut off, and the blood stains on the table legs... I think it is already obvious whether this is a crime scene."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Xieyang's eyes couldn't help but widen with shock.

He never expected that just by a clean area on the wall, just two water glasses, just a corner of the table, just a drop of blood, just the cause of death of the two corpses... Lin Feng could easily connect them. , with such a fast speed and a complete chain of evidence, it was determined that this was the crime scene!

Is this... the ability of the legendary detective?

He couldn't help but sigh: The name of the detective is indeed well-deserved!
