People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 220 revealed! The identity of the real murderer!

Shenshan County, in a room with closed doors and windows.

The candles on the table flickered, and the dancing flames made the shadows of everyone in the room dance on the window paper, like a mime performance, lively and interesting.

But the atmosphere in the room was far less lively than the dancing shadows.

I saw everyone sitting around the table. Some people were holding a book in their hands, but they couldn't turn a page for a long time. Some people were wiping the horizontal knife with a towel, but the bright dazzling surface of the horizontal knife was still being wiped unconsciously over and over again. , some people closed their eyes and wanted to rest, but their eyelashes blinked from time to time... No one spoke, but everyone seemed restless, as if waiting for something.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang.

Sun Fuga, who was reading, suddenly looked away and looked at the closed door.

Zhao Shiwu, who was wiping the horizontal knife, jumped up instantly and looked straight at the door.

Zhao Xieyang, who was pretending to be asleep and wanted to rest, opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up quickly like Zhao Shiwu.

Zhao Xieyang raised his head sharply. He quickly understood what Zhao Shiwu meant and couldn't help but ask, "Is Lin Sizheng already there?"

"They really took action!?"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Zhao Shiwu in confusion.

Fortunately, Lin Feng returned safely.

Lin Feng smiled, came to the table and sat down. At the same time, he picked up the teapot and poured himself tea while saying: "We are fully prepared. If nothing else, it should be able to help us spend the night safely."

…………

Sun Fujia continued: "The evening drum has already sounded and the curfew has begun. Are they?"

"City gate!?"

Zhao Xieyang's pupils shrank slightly subconsciously. Although his talents were not as good as those of Lin Feng and Sun Fujia, he was the county captain of Shenshan County after all. He was responsible for the safety of the county and had a keener sense of danger than others, so when he heard Lin Feng quickly understood the enemy's intentions.

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng who was slowly sipping tea, and his heart moved slightly. He said, "Zide, I wonder how they acted?"

Seeing Zhao Xieyang's anxious and worried look, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng, and when Lin Feng nodded slightly to him, Zhao Shiwu directly sheathed his sword and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Lieutenant Zhao, things won't come to that." One step.”

Sun Fuga's eyes darkened, and he nodded: "That must be the case... Their goal is to kill us, so they must be prepared to prevent us from escaping from under their noses like before. Therefore, to be on the safe side, they directly control Shenshan County. The gates of the city should be closed and no one should be allowed in or out, so that they can ensure everything is safe."

Zhao Xieyang quickly asked: "Which two roads?"

The county seat of Shenshan County is only one street away from the city gate.

Everyone also looked at Lin Feng nervously.

Lin Feng raised his hand and took off the bamboo hat, handed it to Zhao Shiwu, walked in with a smile, looked around everyone, and said with a smile: "Are you anxious to wait?"

Seeing the slight change in everyone's expressions, Lin Feng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, let's all drink a cup of tea to calm down the shock. The show tonight has just begun, and it is far from the moment of panic..."

Lin Feng held the tea cup, his fingertips gently slid on the cup wall, and said: "The first route, about a hundred people, went to the city gate."

"What!?" Zhao Xieyang was stunned.

Zhao Shiwu said cautiously: "Who?"

As a county lieutenant in a small county town, how had he ever encountered such a battle? If you are not frightened and overwhelmed, you are considered to be of excellent quality.

In the evening, they had completed the tasks assigned by Lin Feng, but when they returned, Lin Feng suddenly left secretly. They didn't know where Lin Feng had gone, and they didn't know when the enemy would take action, so they could only wait here anxiously.

"Father!"

Everyone looked towards the door, and their muscles tensed up.

Lin Feng understood what Sun Fujia meant. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the salty tea. He nodded slightly and said, "They have already taken action."

When Sun Fuga heard this, he couldn't help but close the book that he had been reading for almost an hour without turning a page. He immediately pressed it on the table, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, how are you doing?"

at the same time.

Zhao Shiwu smiled and said: "I did this..."

Seeing Lin Feng's calm and indifferent look, feeling Lin Feng's calmness and composure, everyone's nervous hearts subconsciously calmed down a lot.

"The troops are divided into two groups?"

Zhao Xieyang's face couldn't help turning pale. He was shocked and couldn't help but said: "There is no garrison in Shenshan County, and the people guarding the city gate are just a dozen people sent by the Yamen... They were not mentally prepared, and the two of them were far fewer than the thieves. , they can’t hold it, if the city gate is really taken over by thieves, wouldn’t we become turtles in the urn, with really no way out?”

A leisurely and calm voice came from outside the door: "It's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Shiwu walked to the door without any hesitation and opened the door directly.

Even Zhao Xieyang, although he did not know the specific identity of the enemy as a member of the Four Elephants Organization, he also knew that someone was bold and wanted to kill Lin Feng and the others tonight, and that the enemy was powerful and numerous, and his yamen could not resist it.

"Do they want to control the city gate? Completely control Shenshan County and the county seat in their hands?"

Then Zhao Shiwu grinned at him: "You still don't understand my adoptive father. Since my adoptive father expected that the enemy would take action tonight, and since he knew how cautious the enemy was, how could he fail to consider this move of the enemy?"

Under the candlelight, Lin Feng, who had changed into a black outfit, was standing outside the door.

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Shishi and others felt horrified in their hearts.

As soon as he heard that these mysterious and terrifying enemies were taking action, Zhao Xieyang's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Lin Feng said slowly: "Before I returned here, what I learned was that...their troops were divided into two groups."

A tall man wearing black night clothes, carrying a sword as long as a person on his shoulder, was leading hundreds of people, running quickly on the streets under the night.

These hundreds of people were uniformly dressed in black uniforms, holding various weapons in their hands. Their eyes were cold and sharp. There was only the sound of uniform footsteps while running, without any noisy conversations, just like a well-trained elite. Like an army.

They walked through the streets and soon arrived near the city gate.

Looking at the dozen or so yawning defenders in front of the city gate, the burly man at the head directly grasped the handle of the knife and shouted: "No need to talk nonsense with them, just kill them without mercy... After seizing the city gate, immediately release the signal, Inform Xingjun."

Everyone behind him nodded in unison, but still didn't make any sound.

The burly man turned his wrist, and the big knife on his shoulder was instantly spun in a circle in the air, and the tip of the knife touched the ground.

He dragged the big knife and shouted directly: "Kill!"

I saw the tip of the knife scratching on the stone floor, making a constant "sizzling" sound. In the dark night, some sparks were clearly visible on the ground shooting out of the stone slab. The burly man just dragged the knife towards the stone floor. The city gate rushed straight away.

The hundreds of men in black behind them also launched a charge.

The light in the dark night was unclear, and the defenders' vision was limited, so they did not discover the existence of these men in black until they came towards them.

Seeing these men in black rushing towards them with murderous intent, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help being frightened. They quickly shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"Quick! Ming Jin!"

The soldiers guarding the city were in panic. Some people quickly picked up their weapons and blocked them in front of them. Some people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were at a loss. Some people picked up gongs and banged them hard in panic.

Seeing the bewildered look of these city guards, the burly man sneered at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of disdain: "Xingjun is still too cautious and thinks too highly of these wastes... Just these wastes, why do you need me? If you take action personally, you don’t need hundreds of people, a dozen people are enough.”

"Let me take action personally, killing a chicken with a big knife..."

He sneered, swung his sword, and shouted: "Deal with them as soon as possible, and then I will go to support Xingjun, because these wastes delayed me from killing Lin Feng and affected my meritorious service. It is really annoying -"

call out!call out!call out!
But at this moment, his words had not yet fallen.

Sounds of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the air.

The burly man subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sound...

then……

"What!?"

His expression suddenly hardened.

I saw in the night sky above my head, under the reflection of torches, arrows shot directly from the opposite city wall like falling rain.

In an instant, the person they shot was knocked off his back.

"how so!?"

The burly man looked directly at the opposite city wall in confusion. Only then did he realize that dozens of torches were suddenly lit on the city wall.

And among the torches, people in government uniforms were bending their bows and shooting arrows at them... "How could... Could it be..."

The burly man looked at the arrows that were shooting out like a rain of arrows, and at the miserable sight of his men behind him being nailed to the ground one by one. His liver and gallbladder burst into tears, and he had an unbelievable guess in his heart: "Did anyone guess that? We will come and raid the city gates, they have set up an ambush and are waiting for us to arrive...Who!? Who did this!?"

He couldn't help but roar loudly.

At this time, he heard a faint voice coming from the wall opposite: "Who is it? Who have you offended, you don't know?"

Hearing this voice, a figure appeared in the mind of the burly man.

He couldn't help but said in shock: "Could it be... could it be Lin Feng? He, he knows Xingjun's plan!?"

…………

"What!?"

When Zhao Xieyang heard Zhao Shiwu's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock: "Lin Si is secretly asking the county magistrate to send all the government officials to ambush at the city gate, waiting for the thief to come to the door on his own?"

Lin Feng took another sip of Tang Dynasty's unique salty tea, smiled, and said: "There are no troops stationed near Shenshan County. We have limited time and it is difficult to find reinforcements to guard the city gate, so I can only mobilize the power of the entire county government. ”

"Except for a few government officials who are still useful to me, I asked the county magistrate to secretly take away everyone else, including bad people."

"After all, there are a lot of enemies, and I can't accurately judge how many people the enemy will arrange to attack the city gate. I can only let all the people from the county government guard it, relying on the height advantage of the city wall, plus the advantage of ambush in advance, to attack Only when the enemy is caught off guard can we ensure that the city gate will not be lost."

Zhao Xieyang didn't expect that Lin Feng had already prepared for it, and as a county captain, he didn't even know about it, and it was even less likely that the enemy would know about it. There was no possibility of the news being leaked, and the enemy would definitely be ambushed!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with admiration.

He was both an expert in solving cases and resourceful. In his opinion, Lin Feng was simply an all-rounder!
He couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, You Linsi is here, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to think about what would happen tonight."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "They are here for me. Speaking of which, I am the one who has caused trouble for you."

Zhao Xieyang shook his head quickly: "You can't say that. It is our duty to kill the thieves."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Feng and continued: "Just now Lin Si was saying that their troops were divided into two groups. One group went to the city gate, but I don't know where the other group went."

After hearing Zhao Xieyang's words, Sun Fuga and others all looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng did not show off, and said with a smile: "You should know, after all, I sent many people there..."

When Sun Fuga heard this, his eyes flashed and he said, "Inn?"

"Inn?"

Listening to Sun Fujia's words, Zhao Xieyang's brows couldn't help but jump, and he quickly said: "Is it really an inn?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, their direction is the direction of the inn... Because we left over the wall to avoid the crowd watching us, so they didn't know that we had left the inn, in their consciousness Here, we should still be worrying about the case in the inn at the moment."

"not good!"

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he suddenly exclaimed, his expression changed, and he said: "Lin Sizheng, I will take the guards of the Western Regions caravan who were imprisoned in the prison to the inn. At this time, the thieves are heading towards the inn. , wouldn’t those guards be in danger?”

When Zhao Shishi and Sun Fuga heard this, their expressions also changed slightly.

But when Lin Feng saw this, he smiled and said: "Yes, they will indeed be in danger...and not only are they in danger, I also specially invited another person to the inn. If nothing else, he will also be in danger. "

"what?"

Zhao Xieyang was stunned for a moment: "Did Lin Sizheng invite anyone else? Who?"

Lin Feng glanced at everyone, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly: "Jin Fenglu."

"Jin Fenglu!?"

Zhao Xieyang was stunned: "This...Lin Sizheng, why did you invite him to the inn?"

"Furthermore, Lin Sizheng knew that the thieves would think you were still in the inn and would attack the inn, so why did you let Jin Fenglu go to the inn? And those guards of the Western Region caravan were also asked by you, Lin Sizheng, to go there. You knew there would be danger and still let them go, this is not harmful——"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused.

He quickly shut his mouth, not daring to continue speaking. After all, if he continued speaking, he might offend Lin Feng.

But although he stopped talking, the expression he looked at Lin Feng was still full of confusion, even questioning and questioning.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Lin Feng is intentionally harming people.

Sun Fujia also frowned at this time, but he did not question Lin Feng like Zhao Xieyang, but there was a flash of thinking in his eyes, thinking about the reason why Lin Feng did this... No one in the world understands Lin Feng better than Sun Fujia , and know more about Lin Feng’s character.

He knew very well that there might be any official in the world who ignored the safety of ordinary people for his own selfish interests, but Lin Feng would never do that.

Therefore, Lin Feng must have a reason to do this.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Sun Fujia thought of a possibility. He quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, do they all have problems? Could it be..."

His eyes suddenly widened: "Are they the real murderers of Qin Fen and Zhang Heng!?"

"What!? Are they the real culprits who killed Qin Fen and Zhang Heng?" Zhao Xieyang was frightened by Sun Fujia's words. He couldn't help but said: "How could it be the guards of Jin Fenglu and the Western Regions Caravan? One of them is How could a local wealthy businessman from Shenshan County and one of them be a bodyguard from the Western Regions, even though they had nothing to do with each other, would join forces to kill Qin Fen and Zhang Heng?"

Zhao Xieyang's doubts are not unreasonable. There must be a motive to commit a crime, and to commit a crime together, there must be a motive and relationship.

No matter how you look at it, the guards of the Western Region caravan have nothing to do with Jin Fenglu.

So Lin Feng said that they teamed up to kill people. Not to mention Zhao Xieyang couldn't believe it, Zhao Shishi and Sun Fujia were also full of doubts.

However, out of trust in Lin Feng, Zhao Fifteen and the other two were just confused and did not doubt Lin Feng's judgment.

Lin Feng was not surprised that Zhao Xieyang would doubt his words. He smiled softly without getting angry and said slowly: "County Lieutenant Zhao, do you still remember the room where the bodies of Qin Fen and Zhang Heng appeared?"

Zhao Xieyang nodded quickly: "Of course I remember."

"Have County Lieutenant Zhao ever checked that room? Have you ever judged how the murderer moved the body in?"

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but hesitate. He pursed his lips and said, "There is nothing wrong with the room. I have no idea how the real murderer did it."

Lin Feng smiled: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with the room. I have also checked it carefully. There are no traces of people entering or exiting on the roof of the room. There are no secret passages in the room. The windows of the room are sealed and cannot be opened at all... There are guards guarding the door. Normally, it would be impossible for the real culprit to secretly hide the body and move two boxes of goods without alerting anyone."

"But the fact is that the murderer did this. So, how did he do it?"

Zhao Xieyang frowned and said nothing.

Lin Feng glanced at him and continued: "I always follow one principle when investigating cases - that is, when all possibilities are eliminated, no matter how unacceptable the remaining possibilities may seem, they are facts."

"And in this case, it is completely certain that the real murderer cannot enter or exit the room through windows, roofs, or secret passages. So...where else can he enter? There is only one answer left."

Sun Fujia's expression flashed and he suddenly said: "Come from the door!"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, from the door... exclude all places where it is impossible to enter and exit the room, then there is only one door left!"

"But the guards guarding the door said that they had not left the door all night, and they were sure that no one had entered or left the door..."

Sun Fujia was moved in his heart and said, "So you suspect they are lying?"

Zhao Xieyang's eyes widened slightly, and his expression kept changing: "Indeed... if they lie, it can perfectly explain how the murderer got in and out of the room."

"But that's just a guess after all..."

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, that's just a guess, so I later went to the prison to meet these guards."

Zhao Xieyang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I was also there at the time, so there's nothing wrong with their answers, right?"

"It's no problem."

Lin Feng said slowly: "When answering all my questions, their answers were very normal, making it impossible to find fault."

"Then why does Lin Sizheng still say that they are the accomplices of the real murderer?" Zhao Xieyang didn't understand at all.

Sun Fujia and Zhao Shiwu were also a little confused.

Lin Feng looked at them with a deep look on his face and said calmly: "They did not have any questions when they answered my questions... However, after I asked them to leave and made them feel that they had passed the test with me, they relaxed their vigilance. I made a fatal mistake!"

"Fatal mistake?" Zhao Xieyang was stunned: "What?"

Lin Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said meaningfully: "Before they left, they called me 'Lin Si Zheng'..."

"However, I did not reveal my identity in front of them at that time. Even at this moment, I have not told them my identity... and they have been locked up in prison with no information. It is impossible for anyone to tell them about me. Who is it, so..."

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang, who was completely stunned, and said slowly: "Lieutenant Zhao thinks... why would they know my identity when no one told them?"
