People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 210 revealed! Another conspiracy hidden under the case!

In the dark, damp, and sour prison, Bullido, the leader of the Western Region caravan, was brought out by the jailer.

Bullido was trembling with fear, his whole body was shaking. He had been tortured by Zhao Xieyang before, and there was a shadow in his heart, for fear of experiencing such painful torture again.

However, as he was taken to a separate and clean cell by the jailer, Bullido was suddenly stunned.

He looked at the three people standing in the cell, full of astonishment: "Taoist Priest, why is it you?"

Lin Feng did not answer Bullido immediately, but nodded slightly to the two jailers. The two jailers quickly turned and left. Soon, there were only Lin Feng in the cell.

Lin Feng then looked at Bullido and said in a deep voice: "Bulide, I have a few questions to ask you. You must answer them truthfully. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to survive this disaster."

When Bullido heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Just ask, Taoist Priest, and I will tell you everything I know. Taoist Priest must help me escape from this disaster."

"As long as you cooperate well, I will help you leave safely."

Lin Feng comforted Bullido, and then went straight to the point: "Bully, tell me, what are the goods you transported this time?"

"Can't help myself?"

But...if it were just these things, why would Bullido hide them like that?

Bullido hurriedly said: "They are all things unique to the countries in the Western Regions. There are jewelry and jade that are only produced locally, there are beast skins that are only available in the countries in the Western Regions, and there are unique agricultural products that are only available there... I have a list. , now in the hands of the yamen, if the Taoist priest can persuade the yamen, he can see the specific goods and quantity. "

He turned around and looked at Bullido, and said slowly: "Merchant, please tell me."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "Taoists never force anyone to do anything. If merchants don't want to survive the disaster, it goes without saying that poor Taoists will never be embarrassed."

"Hey."

If Bledo knew that someone was hiding the body, it would be fine, but Bledo didn't know this at all, which only proves that there is definitely something unusual in the goods in that room.

Bullido was stunned and saw Lin Feng saying seriously: "I can see your heart. Just now when you were lying and hiding, the color of your heart was dark. But now, your heart is hot and red. This proves that you care about me." Tao is the true knowledge of everything.”

"So, when Pindao repeatedly told you to tell the truth, you still lied... Doesn't that mean you don't want to survive the disaster?"

Bullido... is lying!

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "The person who asked you to transport these two boxes of goods has an unusual identity?"

Finally, after careful consideration, he chose Taoist priests.

Bullido's pupils suddenly shrank, his expression changed slightly, and he said: "Tao... why did the Taoist Master say that?"

"Pindao still has a lot to do, so we won't waste each other's time here with the merchants. Merchant... If we are destined, let's meet again in the future."

"But there are two boxes. They are goods that I want to sell. I have no idea what is in them."

His back was like a spear, but he had a fairy-like temperament. As soon as he left, Bullido looked completely shocked, and Bullido was completely panicked.

Sweat broke out on Bullido's forehead unknowingly, and his eyes began to dodge. He couldn't help but said: "Taoist Priest, you... why don't you speak?"

When Lin Feng went to inspect the room where the goods were stored, he also saw the goods in those boxes. Indeed, as Blido said, they were all specialties of the Western Regions.

Listening to Bullido's words, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed, and Sun Fujia couldn't hide his surprise.

Lin Feng's mind was spinning: "These two boxes are not the goods you want to sell, so why are you transporting them? And you don't know what's inside, so you dare to transport them with confidence? Aren't you afraid that there are any prohibited items inside? "

As the leader of the caravan, Bullido doesn't know what the cargo is?

The two looked at each other and nodded calmly.

Lin Feng shook his head, looked at Bullido with an insightful look, and said: "Since the merchants know Pindao's ability, they should understand... In front of Pindao, lies have no escape."

Therefore, there is an obvious contradiction between Blido's behavior at that time and his words.

Bullido sighed: "As a businessman, many things happen out of your control."

When he came to see Buli Duo, he thought about whether to directly reveal his identity as the master of Dali Temple, or to continue to use the disguised identity of Taoist priest.

Lin Feng looked at Bullido with his eyes faintly and said nothing, but that expression immediately put a huge pressure on Bullido.

Bullido spoke in panic.

"I believe you." Lin Feng said without hesitation.

After saying that, Lin Feng walked out without hesitation.

Bullido nodded with sweating profusely: "Yes, yes."

Bullido took a deep breath, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest with the Taoist priest, most of the goods I transported were purchased by me personally. What are these goods and how much are they? I closed my eyes. You can tell it all.”

Bullido's face turned pale after listening to Lin Feng's words. He opened his mouth and quickly explained: "Taoist Master, I...I..."

On the one hand, judging from Bledo's reaction, Bledo believes in these ghosts and gods, and has no doubts about himself. Using this identity can better make Bledo speak.

On the other hand... As a foreigner, Bullido may have instinctive resistance and suspicion towards Tang Dynasty officials. In this case, revealing his true identity will make Bullido reluctant to speak out of suspicion.

"Master Taoist, please don't leave. I...I just want to hide it from the Taoist Master, but I don't know what the goods are!"

Bullido shook his head: "The Taoist priest may not believe it... I don't even know who asked me to transport them."

Zhao Xieyang was so powerful at that time that Bullido even brought out the laws of the Tang Dynasty to stop Zhao Xieyang... As a businessman traveling all over the country, it is the most basic understanding not to offend the government and local gangsters. Bullido followed the Silk Road, and there were so many ways. It is impossible for a country to make such a mistake.

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth raised slightly.

Lin Feng stopped, but he did not turn around. Instead, he turned his back to Bullido and said calmly: "Is the merchant willing to tell the truth?"

Now it seems that my choice is very correct.

Lin Feng sighed at this time, shook his head, and said, "If you don't want to survive this disaster, why waste your time?"

When Sun Fujia and Zhao Shishi heard this, they couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng secretly.

They saw Lin Feng's sincere eyes and sincere tone. At this moment, even they had some doubts about whether Lin Feng really knew Taoism.

And all of them who knew it were like this, let alone Bledo.

"Taoist Master, you are really profound in Taoism." Bullido became more pious indeed.

Fortunately, I have rich experience in interrogating prisoners and have enough experience to judge whether a person is lying. Otherwise, I am really not sure whether your unreliable words are true or false... Lin Feng looked calm and said calmly: "Go on, why don't you know the other party's identity? Why do you still deliver goods to him even if you don't know the other party's identity?"

Bullido pursed his lips and sighed: "This all stems from an incident half a year ago."

Lin Feng listened quietly, and Bullido looked at Lin Feng and said: "Half a year ago, I was buying goods in the Qiuci Kingdom in the Western Regions, preparing to come to Datang to sell them. At that time, I just bought a batch of goods, and before I could wait, I left and was suddenly arrested by the local Kucha government." "I was very confused at the time and had no idea what was going on, because I had not violated any Kucha laws, and even made arrangements in advance for convenience. I contacted officials at all levels to ensure that my trip went smoothly enough."

"So, after I was arrested by the government, I asked my captors why they wanted to arrest me, but they didn't say anything. After locking me up, they just left and left me hanging. It takes ten days to get there."

Listening to Bullido's words, Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

Locking up a person for ten days without saying anything is enough to cause an ordinary person to have enough anxiety and panic... It seems that the person who did these things to Bullido is very good at psychological manipulation. technique.

"What happened next?" Lin Feng asked.

Bullido recalled what happened in Qiuci Kingdom, and he was obviously still frightened. He raised his hands and rubbed his face to calm himself down, and then continued: "On the first day I was imprisoned by them, I was still questioning them loudly. What to do, but when I was imprisoned by them for the tenth day, I was already anxious and desperate, and at that time..."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng and said, "Finally, someone from them talked to me."

"What did they say?"

"They said..." Bullido took a deep breath and said: "They said there is an existence that I can't afford to offend. They want me to help transport two boxes to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. As long as I can transport them, I will give them to them. My daughter, that’s money that I can’t earn even after working so hard.”

"And if I dare to refuse, or if I am unable to safely transport the goods to Chang'an, unless I never return to the Western Regions, they will make my life worse than death the moment I step half-foot into the Western Regions."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said in deep thought: "If you refuse, you will never be able to return to the Western Regions again. But you make a living by traveling between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and your home is in the Western Regions. It is impossible not to return to the Western Regions, let alone if you refuse, you will not even be able to return to the Western Regions." You probably won't be able to get out of jail...and if you accept, you will get huge profits. In contrast, accepting is the only choice."

Bullido nodded and sighed: "What the Taoist priest said is that I have no choice at all. Even if I know that the goods they have gone through so much trouble for me to transport are definitely not normal things, I can only accept it."

First, he was detained for ten days to exert psychological pressure, and when he was close to emotional collapse, he was given an irresistible choice, as well as a sufficient profit if he accepted it... For an ordinary businessman, this series of attacks is indeed enough. Completely figured out.

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "You accepted their shipment entrustment, but they asked you not to check what was in the box?"

Bullido nodded: "Yes, those two boxes are locked with special locks and have seals on the outside. Once the seals on the boxes are torn or the locks are opened, they will determine that my delivery failed. You will still deal with me when the time comes."

"So, when transporting these two boxes, I have been very careful and kept an eye on them personally, just for fear that my subordinates might accidentally knock them."

"And I also know that the contents of these two boxes are definitely not normal goods and may not withstand the investigation... Therefore, when County Lieutenant Zhao wants to search, I will try my best to stop them. After all, once the goods in these boxes are The thing was discovered, even if I said that I didn’t transport it intentionally, County Lieutenant Zhao and the others would not believe it.”

Lin Feng nodded. At this moment, Bullido's series of strange actions finally got the answer.

Lin Feng had actually eliminated all doubts about Bullido. Before he came, he had already thought that Bullido was not a member of the merchant force in the Western Regions. However, Bullido's confrontation with Zhao Xieyang in order to protect the goods was too strange, which made him think again. I feel that Bullydo has some secrets and some problems.

Now, all the doubts are finally clear.

He pondered for a while, sorting out Blido's words in his mind, and then said: "After you escaped from the prison, did you try to investigate who the person who captured you was?"

Bullido said: "I don't want to be completely controlled by others, so I used my own connections to investigate."

"The results of it?"

Bullido's face was heavy: "In the end, all the investigations were like a stone's throw. There was no news. Even two of the people I entrusted died suddenly and without warning... This made my hair stand on end. I just felt that I had met someone. It was an existence that I couldn't contend with, so I didn't dare to investigate anymore, so I quickly purchased the goods and left Qiuci Kingdom."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed quietly. As a big businessman who could cross the Silk Road, Bullido's connections were definitely not bad. But it was such connections that led to his sudden death while investigating the mysterious man. ...It seems that the mysterious man who captured Bledo may have extraordinary methods.

Combined with the fact that the mysterious man wants Bullido to transport the goods to Chang'an, and the Four Elephant Organization and the Jinchai family are also planning to do business in Chang'an... this should not be a coincidence. If nothing else, that mysterious man is probably the most mysterious one. A member of the merchant force in the Western Regions.

As expected, the merchant forces in the Western Regions also have a plan!

He said slowly: "During this journey, did you really not secretly take a look at what they asked you to transport?"

Bullido smiled bitterly and said: "Don't say I don't dare to take risks. Even if I dare, I don't have the key to open that special lock. If you open it hard, you will definitely be discovered."

"Where are those two boxes of goods now?" Lin Feng asked.

Bullido's face was complicated, with an indescribable sigh, and he shook his head and said: "No more."

"What!?"

Sun Fuga, who was standing behind Lin Feng, was startled when he heard this: "No more?"

Bullido nodded with a complicated expression: "That's right... gone. You may not believe it, but those two boxes are exactly the boxes containing the two corpses, and everything in the boxes is missing."

He looked at Lin Feng and others and said, "If those two corpses hadn't rotted, I might have doubted whether the things they asked me to transport were corpses."

Sun Fujia couldn't help but frown tightly after listening to Bullido's words. Is this too much of a coincidence?

The box containing the two corpses happened to be the box that the mysterious man wanted to transport, and with the appearance of the corpses, all the goods in the box disappeared... This was so coincidental that people couldn't believe it was a coincidence.

Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and saw that Lin Feng still maintained his masterly demeanor, but his dark eyes kept flashing with thoughts. It was obvious that Lin Feng was also thinking about the same problem.

At this time, Sun Fujia saw Lin Feng looking at Bullido and said, "I have seen those two boxes. There are no special locks on those two boxes as you mentioned."

"What? No?"

Bullido was stunned: "It shouldn't be. Those two locks are very complicated and made of fine steel. They cannot be opened by ordinary keys. When the box was put into storage last night, I saw a lock on it. How to lock it? Will it disappear? Did the thief break the lock when he hid the body in the box? "

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He recalled what he saw at the scene of the crime. He pondered for a moment and said, "Are these people in your caravan the same people who have been following you?"

Bullido shook his head: "No, for a caravan like ours that travels through many countries, the journey is very dangerous. After many people have traveled a few times, they are no longer willing to take risks after making enough money, so some of our caravan members They were recruited before departure."

"Of course...even temporary recruits have been screened. They are either known to me before or recommended by other trustworthy people. We will not just let anyone join. After all, this journey is full of dangers. If you are not trustworthy, People are prone to accidents."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He looked at Sun Fujia and asked Sun Fujia if he had anything else to ask. Sun Fujia shook his head at Lin Feng. He knew everything he needed to know, and for the deeper things, Bullido completely If you don’t know, there’s no point in asking.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked the final question: "They asked you to transport the two boxes to Chang'an. Did they tell you what to do with the two boxes after they arrived in Chang'an?"

Bullido said: "They said someone would come to me when the time comes, but they didn't say who would come."

As expected, each of these guys was more cautious than the last, and more mysterious than the last... Lin Feng combed through Liduo's words in his mind again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he said to Buliduo: "The merchants can rest assured for the time being. Stay in the prison, Pindao will find a way to find the real culprit, and then he will help you escape from this disaster."

What Bullido was waiting for was Lin Feng's words. He nodded in agreement and expressed his gratitude to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng comforted Bu Liduo for a few words, and then left the cell with Sun Fuga and Zhao Shiwu.

As the three of them walked, Lin Feng asked, "What do you think, Dr. Sun?"

Sun Fujia pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The two corpses happened to be placed in the two boxes of the mysterious man. I don't think this is a coincidence..."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression: "Zide, this case is probably more complicated than we originally imagined."

Originally, I just thought that this was a certain force that wanted to cause a fight between Lin Feng and the Four Elephants Organization, so I could sit on the mountain and watch the fight... But now, the two corpses happened to be placed in those two special boxes, and the contents in the boxes were The mysterious cargo disappeared without a trace... No matter how you look at it, this is not a coincidence.

In other words, this case may have another secret and conspiracy that they had never thought of before.

After listening to Sun Fujia's words, Lin Feng raised his eyes and looked at the dark corridor ahead. Hearing the angry shouts of the guards in the prison and the prisoners' cries of injustice and begging for mercy... he closed his sleeves and said slowly: "Yes. Ah, it needs to be more complicated... This game of chess is really getting more and more complicated..."
