People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 218 Three people testify, who is lying?
Wang Wan is twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a blue silk gown, with a face like a crown jewel, a slender figure and handsome appearance.

Although he is a scholar, he has steady and powerful steps, thick arms, and piercing eyes. He does not have the weakness of a scholar. Instead, he has the strength of a martial artist and possesses the characteristics of a scholar unique to the Tang Dynasty.

When Wang Wan came to Lin Feng and others, he saw Lin Feng sitting and Zhao Xieyang standing aside. He immediately understood that the young man in Taoist robes in front of him had the highest status. He raised his hands and bowed politely.

Lin Feng looked Wang Wan up and down, then nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite. I have called you here to know something. You just need to answer truthfully."

Wang Wan nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng asked someone to pass a stool to Wang Wan. After letting Wang Wan sit down, he said, "Wang Wan, where were you at midnight last night?"

"Last night at midnight?"

Wang Wan thought for a while, then turned his wrist and unfolded the folding fan in his hand. He gently flapped the fan and said with a smile, "I am resting in Miaochun Courtyard."

"Oh?" Lin Feng said, "Is there any witness?"

"Miss Chunxiang accompanied me last night, so she can certainly prove it to me."

"The villain Jin Fenglu has met the official."

Lin Feng turned to look at the Madam. Without him asking, the Madam nodded quickly and said, "It is indeed the prince who Chunxiang serves."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "There is no need for me to lie to you. Cuiyun died no more than half an hour ago."

Wang Wan closed his folding fan, tapped the palm of his left hand hard, and said, "I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely add this allusion when I wrote a poem for Miss Cuiyun... I already have an idea now. , I think I will probably make a masterpiece that will last forever.”

"What!?"

Lin Feng said in a gentle manner: "Don't be nervous. I just have some questions to ask you. Just answer them truthfully."

The tacit understanding between the two meant that Sun Fujia understood what Lin Feng meant without Lin Feng opening his mouth. He nodded and said, "I'm going to see Chunxiang."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wan immediately bowed his hands to Lin Feng, then raised his head and left the room.

After saying that, he leaned back and said calmly: "That's all my problems for the time being. Mr. Wang, please go and rest first. If necessary, I will call Mr. Wang again."

After a person dies, a masterpiece that will last forever is no longer his work. It is really realistic... Lin Feng stared at Wang Wan's eyes and suddenly leaned forward, instantly giving Wang Wan a huge sense of oppression and said: "In Cui. Before Yun Lin died, she whispered something in my ear. Prince Wang, would you like to know what Cui Yun's last words were in this world?"

Wang Wan couldn't help but widen his eyes after listening to Lin Feng's words, with a look of surprise on his face: "That skinny guy turned out to be Cuiyun? Is it true?"

Wang Wan's expression suddenly changed, and after a moment, he sighed and shook his head: "Since you are dead, then don't disturb Miss Cuiyun anymore. It seems that this masterpiece has no chance to be published... Alas, things are unpredictable."

The man is seven and a half feet tall. Because of his slightly fat body, he looks as tall as a hill. However, he always has a smile on his face, and at the same time, he bends his back slightly, making his burly figure not intimidating, but more peaceful. A sense of goodness.

Lin Feng regained his sight and looked at Wang Wan, still with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Master Wang, what do you think of Miss Cuiyun?"

"Not long ago? Did Wang Wan leave the room?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"Oh?"

"Don't remember?" Lin Feng tapped his fingertips gently on the table and said: "Cuiyun was very thin when she first arrived at Miaochun Yuan. She was not a girl from Miaochun Yuan at that time. She wanted to join Miaochun Yuan but was rejected. Miaochunyuan refused, so she simply took off her clothes and threw herself into the arms of a guest to prove her determination. That guest was your prince... With this reminder, I wonder if Mr. Wang can recall it? "

After a while, Lin Feng slowly exhaled, looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "Call the next person."

Sun Fujia shook his head: "Chunxiang is not sure, it is her time to rest during the day, but Chunxiang said that when she was sleeping, she closed her eyes and wanted to hug Wangwan, but she couldn't find Wangwan after reaching out for a long time. , she wasn’t sure whether Wangwan got up to drink water or went out.”

Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said: "Could it be that Cuiyun has true feelings for me and that I was the one he thought about in the last moment in this world?"

Jin Fenglu nodded repeatedly: "No matter what the official asks, the villain will tell you everything he knows. He will never dare to hide anything."

Lin Feng looked directly at Wang Wan. After hearing Wang Wan's words, he looked at Wang Wan's eyes for a moment, then looked away and smiled: "Young Master Wang, it's okay to think this way."

Wang Wan's expression, Wang Wan's detailed reaction, Wang Wan's answer, and Wang Wan's reaction when he mentioned Cuiyun all went through Lin Feng's mind again.

He thought for a while and then said: "Miss Cuiyun is simple and straightforward, and very considerate. I really like her more."

At that time, Sun Fujia happened to return. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Lin Feng: "I asked Chunxiang. It was indeed Wangwan who was served by Chunxiang last night, but Chunxiang said that Wangwan started to torment her early, and before she arrived, she She couldn't bear it and fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes it was already dawn, so she couldn't be sure whether Wang Wan had left after she fell asleep."

You love writing poems to brothel girls so much. If I didn’t know your surname was Wang, I would have to ask if your surname was Liu... Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that when Miss Cuiyun first arrived at Miaochun Yuan, she The one who pounced on you was you... I wonder if Mr. Wang still remembers this?"

Wang Wan stood up suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a look of surprise on his face: "Cuiyun is dead!? Is this...really?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and replayed the scenes after Wang Wan appeared in his mind like a slide show.

The wealthy businessman Jin Fenglu had a low attitude and was more understanding of the world than Wang Wan. He quickly saluted as soon as he entered the room.

Soon, a slightly fat man in fine clothes walked into the room.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "In other words, Prince Wang still likes Cuiyun very much?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "We still need to see what's going on with Dr. Sun."

Wang Wan frowned and looked surprised: "Really? I really don't remember."

Wang Wan nodded: "I think I like them... Of course, I also like other girls. The girls in Miaochun Yuan each have their own characteristics, and I am happy to compose poems for them."

"Cuiyun?"

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Wan and ignored the romantic scholar. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Does Mr. Wang know... Cuiyun is dead?"

"Father, how are you?" Zhao Shiwu asked Lin Feng quickly, and Zhao Xieyang also looked at Lin Feng subconsciously.

Wang Wan frowned, as if he didn't quite understand why Lin Feng asked Cui Yun... Lin Feng ordered people to move Cui Yun's body to the inner room, so Wang Wan didn't see Cui Yun's body, so he didn't know Cui Yun was dead. Death.

Lin Feng thought for a while and then looked at Sun Fuga.

Lin Feng stared at Wang Wan with his eyes, taking in every subtle reaction of Wang Wan. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "It seems that Mr. Wang has really forgotten this matter."

After saying that, Sun Fuga strode away directly.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."

Lin Feng looked at Jin Fenglu and said directly: "Where were you at midnight last night?"

Jin Fenglu hurriedly said: "The villain is still in Miaochun Courtyard now, and of course he was here last night... To be honest with you, the villain was in Miaochun Courtyard last night to discuss business and socialize with people, and then stayed at Miaochun Courtyard, because I drank too much last night, so I woke up at this time... Otherwise, even if I came to visit Miaochunyuan, I wouldn't have left at noon."

At this time, Sun Fujia whispered in Lin Feng's ear: "I just asked the woman who served Jin Fenglu, and she said that Jin Fenglu did drink too much last night and had been sleeping, but the woman also went to bed very early and didn't wake up. It's daybreak, and it's still unclear whether Jin Fenglu left midway."

Lin Feng nodded. This is normal. No one knows whether the person next to him will do evil things. Naturally, he will not stay up late to pay attention to whether the person next to him leaves in the middle of the night.

With this kind of alibi, Lin Feng didn't expect to be able to exclude anyone from suspicion at the beginning.

He would ask, partly to see how the other person would answer, and partly to lower the other person's defensiveness.

Lin Feng continued to ask Jin Fenglu: "As you said, you never left the room from last night until I called you? Never came out?"

Jin Fenglu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I'm really hungover. It's already noon when I wake up. I'm really ashamed."

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia, who whispered: "Almost... but the woman who served him once left the room, but she said that Jin Fenglu was sleeping on the bed when she left and returned to the room, and she should not have woken up. .”

Lin Feng understood, and he continued to ask Jin Fenglu, "What do you think of Cuiyun?"

"Cuiyun?"

Jin Fenglu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, he is very good at serving others."

"Just serving people?"

"Otherwise?" Jin Fenglu thought Lin Feng's question was strange: "What else is special about a brothel girl?"

Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's right..."

As he spoke, he pushed the water glass in front of Jin Fenglu and said, "You must be very thirsty after being hungover. Drink some water to moisten your throat." Upon seeing this, Jin Fenglu stood up quickly with a look of flattery on his face: "Thank you, sir, sir. The villain is indeed very thirsty, so the villain will be rude."

As he said that, he quickly picked up the water glass and raised his head to drink.

Lin Feng stared at Jin Fenglu and saw Jin Fenglu drinking water without any hesitation. Seeing that the water was about to be drank into his mouth, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute!"

Jin Fenglu was startled. He held the water glass and looked at Lin Feng blankly.

Lin Feng stood up and took the water cup back from Jin Fenglu's hand. He smiled and said: "This water is already cold. In late autumn, drinking cold water is not good for your health. It's better to drink some hot water when you go back later."

Jin Fenglu looked a little confused, but seeing Lin Feng say this, he still looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I will definitely drink more hot water when I go back."

Lin Feng put the water glass on the table, looked at Jin Fenglu again, and suddenly said: "Cuiyun is dead, did you know?"

"What? Miss Cuiyun is dead?"

Jin Fenglu was a little surprised, but not sad. He looked puzzled: "I saw Miss Cuiyun a few days ago. Why did she die suddenly?"

Lin Feng said: "Before she died, Miss Cuiyun said something in my ear. Do you know what she said?"

"How could a villain know this?" Jin Fenglu scratched his head, feeling that Lin Feng's words were too strange.

Lin Feng's eyes met Jin Fenglu's. Seeing the calmness and composure in Jin Fenglu's eyes, he shook his head and said with a smile: "That's right... That's it. That's all my questions. You can go back and drink hot water."

Jin Fenglu looked like Monk Zhanger was confused, but when he saw Lin Feng seeing off his guests, he was sensible and would not go against Lin Feng. He quickly said: "Then I will go down first. If you have any other questions, please call me at any time." people."

After saying that, he left quickly.

Looking at Jin Fenglu's leaving figure, Zhao Xieyang said: "It seems that he is the least suspicious."

Lin Feng did not respond to Zhao Xieyang's judgment. He tapped the table with his fingertips. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned to look at the madam beside him and said, "After Cuiyun joined your Miaochun Courtyard, what happened to her family? Is she still in contact with her family?”

The old madam shook her head and said: "Her family came to make trouble once and asked her to give money, but she didn't give it. She asked the nursing home to evict her family, and then her family was kicked out. Later, her family kept coming to make trouble. , even if she couldn't enter Miaochunyuan, she would be scolded at the door, saying she was a white-eyed wolf and inhumane."

"I kept scolding them like this for about a month. Her family seemed to think that Cuiyun really wouldn't care about them anymore, so they gave up and never came again. And Cuiyun seemed to really have no such family members. , never met them.”

Listening to the Madam's words, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

Will the family members who are lying on Cuiyun's body to suck blood give up easily just because Cuiyun ignores them?
The situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Lin Feng does not think that such parents will easily let go of their daughter who can suck blood.

So... there may be something going on here that the madam doesn't know about.

He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Zhao Xieyang and said: "Zhao County Lieutenant, help me investigate something."

Zhao Xieyang said quickly: "Lin Si is just asking for your instructions."

Lin Feng said: "Go and investigate Cuiyun's family, see their current situation, and then ask them why they didn't bother Cuiyun again."

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he said without saying a word, "I'll do it right away."

"By the way, call the shopkeeper of Miaochunyuan..." Lin Feng said directly when he saw Zhao Xieyang turning around and leaving.

Zhao Xieyang nodded: "Understood."

Not long after, a man in a gray gown walked into the room.

He is over forty years old, has a good appearance, a square face, and does not look angry or intimidating. If you put this face outside, anyone who looks at it will think that he is a decent person, and will not guess that he will He is the only brothel owner in Shenshan County.

Seeing the arrival of the most mysterious brothel owner, everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.

An Shen calmly came to Lin Feng, cupped his hands to Lin Feng and said, "I have met Lin SiZheng."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you recognize me?"

An Shen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Lin Si Zheng is the most popular big shot in recent months. Naturally, I have heard about Lin Si Zheng for a long time. Not long ago, I heard that Lin Si Zheng was salvaging a sunken ship in Linshui County and created an unprecedented miracle. Shenshan Mountain The county happens to be the only way to return to Chang'an from Linshui County, and Lin Si is taking a caravan from the Western Regions to Chang'an. Therefore, the villain boldly infers Lin Si Zheng's identity."

Listening to An Shen's words, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said with deep meaning: "I have always heard that the manager of Miaochun Yuan is mysterious and unpredictable. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

An Shen smiled softly: "Compared with Lin Si Zheng, he is still far behind. A villain can show off his authority in this Shenshan County. Unlike Lin Si Zheng, everyone in the world knows about him."

From the moment An Shen appeared, he was different from Wang Wan and Jin Fenglu. His attitude was more natural and calm, and he had no fear at all when facing Lin Feng. This made Sun Fuga and others realize that An Shen was unusual.

They couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, wondering how Lin Feng would deal with this mysterious and resourceful brothel owner.

To their surprise, Lin Feng not only showed no dissatisfaction in the face of An Shen, who showed no humility, but instead showed more smiles.

"Shopkeeper An is really interesting. I like interesting people... Please take a seat." Lin Feng invited An Shen to take a seat.

An Shen didn't refuse and sat down directly.

Lin Feng looked at An Shen and asked directly without any ink, "I wonder where Shopkeeper An was at midnight last night?"

An Shen said: "Rest in my room in the backyard of Miaochun Yuan."

"The backyard of Miaochunyuan? Is there any witness?"

An Shen shook his head: "I am alone, with no relatives or friends, so naturally no one can prove it."

Lin Feng looked at An Shen and said, "No one can prove it, which is not a good thing."

An Shen smiled and said: "If you meet other officials, it is naturally not a good thing, but if you meet Lin SiZheng, it is different."

"Do you have confidence in me?"

"Who doesn't know that Lin Si is solving cases like a god?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You seem to know me very well?"

An Shen shook his head: "Being in Shenshan County, which is far away from Chang'an, most of them are just hearsay. It's far from saying that we know everything about it."

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right... let's change the topic."

He went straight to the point and said, "What do you think of Cuiyun?"

"An interesting girl."

"interesting?"

"Isn't it interesting enough to throw yourself into the sea of ​​fire, and then when we refuse, you strip off your clothes and jump on top of a man?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's indeed interesting."

"Then did you know..." He suddenly stared at Anshen and said with stern eyes: "She is dead?"

The calm expression on An Shen's face paused for a rare moment, but soon, his eyes moved downwards, with no sadness or joy on his face: "What a pity."

"pity?"

"It's a pity. What a pity for such an interesting girl."

"Before she died, she once said something in my ear. Can you guess what she said?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

An Shen was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "I'm not familiar with her. Her last words in life should not be left to me."

Lin Feng looked at An Shen for a while, then suddenly said: "One last question."

Under An Shen's gaze, Lin Feng stared straight at him and said, "You can recognize me because you have seen me or my portrait, right? The reasons you just gave... are all made up, Shopkeeper An ,am I right?"
