People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 212 The anonymous letter writer! Surface?

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Ming took the portrait.

He opened the portrait curiously and looked up.

At this moment, both Lin Feng and Sun Fujia stared at Du Ming closely, not letting go of any slight change in expression on Du Ming's face, as if they wanted to see Du Ming clearly inside and out.

Du Ming, on the other hand, seemed not to notice the expressions of Lin Feng and Sun Fujia. As soon as he looked at the portrait, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Lin SiZheng...this man, what happened to him?"

Du Ming subconsciously rubbed the portrait and spoke slowly.

Seeing Du Ming's reaction, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia immediately looked at each other. They both knew that Du Ming definitely knew Jiang He in the portrait.

The surprise cannot be concealed, and only when you face people you know, you will show surprise. Otherwise, when you face strangers, you should be confused rather than surprised.

Lin Feng said sternly: "I am investigating a case. After investigation, I found that this person may have some relationship with the case. It happened that I learned that someone had seen him in Du Mansion, so I came to bother the head of the Du family and wanted to know more. Condition."

It felt to Lin Feng as if he was afraid that he would not ask these questions and deliberately told himself.

It's just that the words on the suicide note look a bit sloppy, as if they were written in a very anxious or unstable state.

Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but narrowed. The murderer committed the murder around midnight last night and then carried the body into the inn. This morning, the Yamen received an anonymous tip and went to the inn to search. They found two corpses and the wounds on the corpses confirmed that the murderer was Han. ink.

Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at his former friend and said, "Master Du, do you recognize this person?"

"Early this morning?"

Lin Feng's thoughts were spinning, but he didn't show anything strange on the surface. He nodded and said in an understanding tone: "We all understand the difficulties faced by the Du family. The Du family owners don't have to think there is anything wrong with this. You can use normal methods to make legal money." , there is no problem...and the Du family master can tell us this, I am really touched, the Du family master is really a sincere person."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said to the two of them from the bottom of his heart: "It's just that you also know that big families like us have always disdain to associate with humble businessmen, so even if every family controls some people to make money for them, they don't want to Admit it, it’s not who we are after all.”

"What? Dead?" Sun Fujia exclaimed.

Du Ming nodded, looking a little sighing: "He is dead."

"No way?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

Hanged?

Lin Feng's fingertips moved gently on the wall of the cup, and his brain was running rapidly at this moment.

They met Du Ming just a short time ago and didn't say much. They only asked if Du Ming knew Jiang He. As a result, Du Ming directly told the relationship between Jiang He and the Du family in one breath, including some unseemly inside information. Having said it out loud, is this too sincere?

Listening to Du Ming's words, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed and he said, "I wonder what the Du family master means?"

Du Ming gently twisted the animated image with his fingertips, was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said: "That means you are here, Dr. Sun, and that means Lin Sizheng and I hit it off right away. Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, I wouldn't be able to say anything today." admit."

Later, he bought an inn based on Han Mo's coincidence and traced Jiang He... As a result, it happened that early this morning, almost at the same time that the government officials were searching the inn, Jiang He also died. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? ?

There were only two paragraphs in the suicide note, and the general content was the same as what Du Ming said.

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and others and said slowly: "To be honest with you two, this person is a shopkeeper under my Du family, providing financial support for the daily expenses of my Du family... Our Du family has a big business, and the servants There are hundreds of owners in total, and the daily expenses are a terrifying amount, so we also need to find ways to open source."

Du Ming met Lin Feng's gaze without any flicker in his expression. He said solemnly: "Jiang He has been running some business in other places over the years according to my orders. He only returned to Shenshan County a month ago."

He thought for a moment, handed the suicide note to Sun Fuga, and said, "Dr. Sun, you have studied handwriting. Can you guess Jiang He's state when he wrote this suicide note?"

Du Ming's words cannot be said to be insincere.

Lin Feng nodded, as if he was not surprised by this. He looked at Du Ming and said with some embarrassment: "This may be a bit rude... But the Du family master, can we see Jiang He's body?"

Lin Feng also flashed his eyes: "When did you die?"

Du Ming smiled bitterly and said: "I am also afraid that the case he is involved in will implicate my Du family, so naturally I shouldn't hide anything."

Lin Feng nodded and continued to ask: "I wonder where this person is now? Can we see him?"

Sun Fujia also nodded repeatedly.

Even though Lin Feng was in the Chen family and the head of the Chen family bribed him so much, he did not tell these unflattering inside stories outright. From this, it can be seen that Du Ming, just like Sun Fujia said, is indeed different from ordinary heads of aristocratic families.

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and said, "This morning."

Du Ming took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is the suicide note he left. It says that he secretly concealed a lot of money over the years. He said he was sorry for me and that he had no shame in living in this world..."

It's just... Du Ming's heartfelt expression was a bit too sincere.

Du Ming had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Lin Si Zheng, but that Lin Si Zheng can't see him at all."

He suddenly said: "I wonder if he left any last words?"

Lin Feng held the tea cup and said slowly: "Master Du, I wonder how Jiang He died?"

"I immediately ordered people to go to his room to check, and found that he had hanged from the beam, and had long since lost his breath."

Even Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but muttered: "Isn't it because of murder and silence..."

"only……"

"I have already written a suicide note. It is normal to have mental problems..."

Sun Fujia read the suicide note carefully, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Words are like people. How a person writes has a great relationship with his character and experience. The handwriting on this suicide note is very sloppy. , and there are two words written incorrectly, which shows that the person who wrote the letter must have had a big problem with his mentality at that time and was no longer calm."

"After returning to Shenshan County, I arranged for him to live in a wing of the mansion. But early this morning, according to the agreement, he was supposed to come on time to listen to my arrangements for some tasks, but I waited for a full quarter of an hour and he did not come. Jiang Crane is a very by-the-book guy and he's never late, so that made me realize what might have happened."

Lin Feng took the suicide note and looked up.

"You are here today, and I am talking to you from the bottom of my heart. If it were anyone else, I would definitely not admit that I have a relationship with him."

Du Ming suddenly nodded: "That's it."

When Du Ming heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Lin Si came here just for Jiang He. It is only normal to check his body."

As he said that, he walked directly out, as if he was impatient: "Lin Si is here to invite you."

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looked at each other, nodded secretly, and followed with Zhao Xieyang and others.

Several people left the hall, walked through a huge garden, walked past two pavilions, walked through a long corridor, and then arrived at a room surrounded by many people.

As expected of a wealthy family, the area is huge. Anyone who comes here for the first time would probably get lost... When Lin Feng arrived in front of the house, he saw Du Ming directly waved his hand and dismissed the servants surrounding the door. Soon, he saw The room became very clean.

He turned around and looked at Lin Feng, cupped his hands and said, "Jiang He's family members are out of town and cannot come back for the time being, so I ordered people to put his body in the room first, and then deal with it after his family members return." .”

Lin Feng nodded and returned the greeting: "The Du family master is determined. I think it is a very lucky thing to be able to become a servant of the Du family."

Du Ming smiled and said, "Lin Si is inviting you."

Lin Feng stepped directly into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the bodies on the ground.

Jiang He is nearly fifty years old, has gained weight, and his hair has begun to turn gray.

At this time, he was not wearing a coat, but was wearing a white undershirt for sleeping. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his tongue was sticking out, his face was ferocious and twisted, and he looked very scary.

However, the people present were all people who had seen the world, and Jiang He's tragic situation did not scare anyone at all.

Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at the beam, and saw that there was still a white silk hanging on the beam. The white silk was empty. It was blown by the wind and swayed slightly, as if there was something hanging on it. Lin Feng looked down at the ground again. Next to Jiang He's body, there was an overturned wooden bench. The wooden bench was just below Bai Ling... He thought for a while and asked Du Ming: "Master Du, please come in When I entered the room, was it locked? The wooden bench happened to be right here?"

Du Ming nodded: "Yes, the door is locked from behind. It took a lot of effort from the nursing staff to open it. Lin Temple, please take a look..."

He moved the door open, pointed to the broken door latch, and said, "In order to open the door, the guards smashed the door latch into pieces."

Lin Feng checked the door latch, then looked at the wear and collision marks on the outside of the door, and nodded slightly: "It is indeed the marks of breaking the door open from the outside."

"And that wooden bench..." Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and said, "The wooden bench has always been there. We only looked at Jiang He's body and never paid attention to it."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He came to Jiang He's body, squatted down and inspected the wounds on Jiang He's neck.

Sun Fujia came over and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Feng touched the scar with his fingertips and said slowly: "The scar extends backward and upward, and the wound surface is smooth. It is indeed consistent with the scar of hanging with white silk."

As he spoke, he raised his chin to Sun Fuga and winked.

Sun Fujia immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He tore off the deceased's clothes, checked the deceased's body, and then shook his head: "There are no wounds, everything is normal."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, stood up slowly, and looked at the table.

I saw that the four treasures of the study were placed on the table at the moment: pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

There was still ink in the inkstone, and the brush was thrown aside casually. The ink on the tip of the pen slipped onto the table, staining the table dark.

Sun Fujia stepped forward, picked up a piece of paper on the table, checked it, and immediately nodded to Lin Feng: "This paper is exactly the same as the suicide note."

Lin Feng's brain turned rapidly as he listened to Sun Fujia's words. Everything in the room showed that Jiang He indeed wrote a suicide note and then committed suicide.

But...is it really such a coincidence?

Just because Han Mo found out about him, he committed suicide in advance?

Moreover, he said that he committed suicide because he felt guilty towards Du Ming. He had been back for a full month. If he said he felt guilty, he should have felt guilty a long time ago. Why did he choose this moment to commit suicide?

He suddenly looked at Du Ming and said, "Master Du, I wonder if Jiang He has done anything unusual in the past few days?"

"abnormal?"

Du Ming shook his head and said: "There was nothing abnormal, he acted very normal, so I was very surprised that he suddenly committed suicide."

There's nothing unusual... then it means I wasn't suddenly stimulated...

In this way, his sudden death due to guilt is a bit strange...

Sun Fujia obviously thought this was too coincidental. He whispered to Lin Feng: "Zide, do you think Jiang He really committed suicide?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "All the clues point to this. Although I still doubt it, the clues are like this. The clues to this suicide are so perfect that there is no fault at all."

Sun Fujia also nodded and said with emotion: "Yeah, I can't fault it...but I just think it's too coincidental."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Du Ming and said, "Master Du, I heard that in the second year of Zhenguan, Jiang He sold an inn. Do you know about this?"

Du Ming nodded and said, "Of course I know, that was originally my Du family's inn, and I ordered him to sell it."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "I wonder why the Du family master sold that inn?"

Du Ming met Lin Feng's sizing gaze and said calmly: "To be honest with Lin Sizheng, my Du family was facing some financial problems at that time and was in urgent need of a sum of money, and most of our Du family's businesses in Shenshan County are irreplaceable. , only this inn was not very profitable, so I asked him to sell the inn to get some money to help with the emergency."

"It turned out to be an emergency..."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I wonder if the Du family owner knows who bought the inn?"

Du Ming shook his head: "Jiang He can handle such a small matter by himself. I didn't ask too carefully. I only knew he was a man from out of town."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked directly at Du Ming: "In other words, the head of the Du family has no idea that the person who bought the inn is Han Mo, the criminal thief with countless blood on his hands?"

"what?"

Du Ming was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had lost his composure today: "The Jiangyang Thief Han Mo? Is this...really?"

Lin Feng took in all Du Ming's reactions and saw that Du Ming looked natural, without any dodge, and did not make any unnecessary movements when facing his direct gaze.

He pursed his lips and nodded immediately: "Yes, it was because we found Han Mo that we came to Jiang He to ask him if he knew that the person who bought the inn was Han Mo."

"So that's it..." Du Ming nodded suddenly, then looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed: "Unfortunately, Jiang He is already dead... If Lin Sizheng could have come a few hours earlier, maybe he could have been asked ”

"Yes, it's a pity that he is already dead...it is only a few hours before my arrival." Lin Feng nodded meaningfully in agreement.

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng sincerely, his face full of gentleness and enthusiasm.

Lin Feng thought for a while, then quickly said: "Since Jiang He is dead, we won't disturb the Du family leader anymore."

Hearing this, Du Ming quickly said: "I also want to entertain Lin Sizheng and Dr. Sun..."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Official duties are important. When this case is over, if I have the chance, I will come to visit the Du family head again."

Seeing this, Du Ming nodded and said: "Business matters are important, so I won't waste Lin Sizheng and Dr. Sun's time. After the case is over, you two must come to Du Mansion again, and I will treat you well."

Lin Feng nodded meaningfully: "I will definitely come again."

Soon, several people left the magnificent Du Mansion.

As the door of the mansion was closed, Sun Fujia looked directly at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, how are you doing?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There is indeed no flaw in Jiang He's suicide. I conclude that he probably wrote a suicide note and then committed suicide."

"However, I don't think his suicide is normal."

Sun Fuga hurriedly asked: "How to say?"

Lin Feng turned his head, looked at the Du Mansion with its high lintel, and said calmly: "With the power of the Chen family, we can clearly know everything that the Four Elephant Organization has done in Linshui County, and Han Mo is far more powerful than the Four Elephant Organization. No Four Elephants organization is discreet and secretive.”

"So, I don't believe that Du Ming, who is more powerful, has no idea about Han Mo's identity, let alone that Han Mo bought his Du family's inn! He said he didn't know Han Mo's identity, but instead exposed his question."

Sun Fujia was shocked and his expression changed: "Did the Du family kill Qin Fen and Zhang Heng?"

Sun Fujia still had the past friendship with Du Ming, and really didn't want to believe that Du Ming would do these things.

After all, this was enough to prove that Du Ming wanted to trap them and then lead the Four Elephants organization to hunt them down... In other words, he wanted them to die.

It's rare for him to have a friend from an aristocratic family, and he doesn't want to believe this from the bottom of his heart.

But he believed in Lin Feng's judgment more.

Seeing Sun Fujia's sudden change of expression, Lin Feng understood Sun Fujia's thoughts. He chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun... You must know that the murderer is not the only one who knows Han Mo's identity. "

Sun Fuga was startled, and then his eyes widened. He suddenly realized something: "You mean?"

Lin Feng looked at the stone lion showing its fangs and said meaningfully: "The person who wrote the anonymous letter also named Han Mo's identity. I don't think this is a coincidence."

"Could it be that..." Sun Fuga looked at Lin Feng intently: "You mean, the person who hid at the scene of the crime and watched the whole killing coldly, and wrote an anonymous letter to attract the government... that is, Du Ming! ?”
