People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 233 Found! The treasure chest of the merchant from the Western Regions!

After Lin Feng and Sun Fujia solved the hidden danger of possible rift, they continued to move forward. Sun Fujia watched Lin Feng leading everyone around and asked curiously: "Zide, where are you taking us? ?”

Lin Feng smiled and said: "What we have to do tonight is not just to deal with the Four Elephants Organization, but there is another important thing as well. I wonder if Dr. Sun still remembers my arrangement for Jin Fenglu?"

"Jin Fenglu?"

When Sun Fujia heard this name, his brain instantly recalled what Lin Feng had said when he was hiding.

When leading Jin Fenglu to the inn, Lin Feng told Sun Fujia that out of caution, Jin Fenglu would move the box he had hidden. In other words, as long as he kept an eye on the people who had come into contact with Jin Fenglu, he would find them. Those two boxes of opportunity.

However, Lin Feng had no results at that time. Later, the battle at the inn started, and everyone's attention was focused on the inn, so that they all ignored it.

Now that Lin Feng suddenly mentioned it and moved forward with a clear goal, Sun Fujia couldn't help but show a look of expectation and surprise.

He quickly said: "Could it be that...you know where Jin Fenglu hid the contents of those two boxes?"

Lin Feng looked at the sky that was gradually getting brighter. The night was getting brighter and the night had passed. He said with a smile: "After issuing the order to summon Jin Fenglu, I ordered people to keep an eye on everyone who came into contact with Jin Fenglu. At this time, I The people discovered that a person had sneaked out from the back door of Jin Fenglu’s mansion and went to a warehouse of Jin Fenglu’s house. Then they found someone to carry out two beautiful-looking treasure boxes from that warehouse..."

"Get out!"

Is Jin Fenglu not cautious enough? No, he killed almost without leaving any useful clues, he was extremely cautious.

Zhao Xieyang quickly looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Sizheng, you can go in."

The vermilion paint on the door of the mansion has long since fallen off, making it look very mottled. At this time, the door, which is full of dilapidated atmosphere, is tightly closed. The mansion is quiet, giving people the feeling that it has been vacant for at least ten years.

Hearing the man's words, Sun Fujia and others quickly turned their heads and looked at the dilapidated mansion.

"This is God's will." Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but think of this sentence in his heart. He felt that no matter who Jin Fenglu met, even if he couldn't play the other person to death, he could hide here safely and avoid the crisis, but the one he met was Lin Feng. , the only person who can defeat him in all aspects.

"Lieutenant Zhao, do you know the situation of this mansion?" Lin Feng asked.

Sun Fujia frowned and said, "Your yamen should have records on the sale of a mansion, right?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Go, there should be some thieves inside, be careful."

"Yes!"

"Robber, the robber is coming..."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped.

After seeing Lin Feng, the man quickly walked over and saluted: "Lin Si Zheng, they carried two boxes and entered the mansion and never came out again."

Sun Fujia thought for a while, then nodded and said with emotion: "It's really a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Jin Fenglu is the richest businessman in Shenshan County. In addition to his own mansion, he also owns many other mansions and shops. But who would have thought that, Those mansions and shops are just for show. Once an accident occurs, where will he really hide? Will it be a mansion that has been abandoned for ten years? "

After saying that, without any hesitation, he led people directly to the bottom of the peeling wall of the mansion.

They climbed up the courtyard wall, crawled on their knees and looked into the courtyard. After confirming that there was no danger under the wall, they jumped off one after another.

It can be said that Jin Fenglu has achieved the ultimate in all aspects.

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he quickly said: "I understand!"

Without saying a word, Zhao Xieyang grasped the horizontal knife tightly and rushed in with his men.

Unfortunately, the person he wanted to deal with was Lin Feng, a smart man who seemed to have no blind spots.

When everyone heard this, they felt a little sad in their hearts.

Mixed sounds kept coming. Listening to these sounds, Lin Feng smiled at Sun Fujia and said: "These guys are quite smart, calling them robbers... This is to attract the attention of the people nearby and let them come to help them, and then they Look for opportunities to escape.”

"Of course, my people just stared at it from a distance and did not personally check what was in the boxes, so I am not sure whether those are the goods lost in the two boxes of the Blido caravan..."

Zhao Xieyang was very familiar with everything in Shenshan County. Hearing Lin Feng's inquiry at this moment, he did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Back to Lin Temple, this mansion was once the residence of a businessman. This businessman had an incident in another place ten years ago. In the accident, only one wife was left, and the rest of the family members died. Later, the businessman's wife sold the mansion and returned to her parents' family, but no one came to live in the mansion. So to whom was the mansion sold? , we still don’t know.”

Then a group of people leaned against the wall, crossed their arms, and looked at the people opposite.

He laughed and said calmly: "He made one wrong move and lost the chance to hide in this safe house. After all, he didn't even have the chance to use such a retreat that was prepared ten years ago."

Isn’t Jin Fenglu not prepared enough for a rainy day? nor! He had prepared an escape route for himself ten years ago.

When Sun Fujia heard this, his face was full of excitement and said: "The two boxes still sneaked out of the back door... They were obviously moved by Jin Fenglu's order. There is no need to think about it. They must be what we are looking for. From The secret of the merchant power in the Western Region!"

Zhao Xieyang said: "The records are true, but the name of the person written in the records is the name of an intermediary businessman. This businessman also purchased for others. Later, this businessman left Shenshan County to do business in other places and never came back. No. I don’t know if there was an accident or something, so the government has no idea about the owner of this mansion.”

Lin Feng smiled: "People who have ghosts in their hearts must always be uneasy and always worry about the day they will be exposed, so it is normal to prepare a retreat for yourself, but it is a pity..."

So much so that these advantages of his did not even cause any ripples, but became a pawn in the game between Lin Feng and Kui Su. In the end, he did not even have the chance to cause any trouble to Lin Feng.

At first there were only footsteps in the mansion, but not long after, there were some exclamations: "Who are you!? Who let you in?"

Not long after, a harsh creaking sound was heard, and the closed old door was opened from the inside.

Lin Feng listened to Zhao Xieyang's words, nodded slightly, and said: "I see, I'll tell you why Jin Fenglu dared to move things here. No accident..."

Is it because Jin Fenglu is not decisive enough? What's more, after realizing that Lin Feng was suspicious of him, he immediately used the Western Region Guards and his own dead soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Lin Feng and eliminate any crisis in advance.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "Zhao County Lieutenant, I leave the next step to you."

In front of him, he saw the gate of a mansion. The mansion was dilapidated, and a plaque hung diagonally downwards. The words on the plaque had faded due to the wind and sun, and it was hard to see clearly. Standing in front of the door was a man dressed in black. man.

Seeing Sun Fujia's excited look, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Whether it is what we are looking for, we will know soon."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about the past anymore."

He looked at the crowd and said in a low voice, "This should be his last escape route."

The same number of people on the opposite side quickly rushed over. They jumped up and stepped on the palms held up by Zhao Xieyang and others. Then Zhao Xieyang and others lifted up with force... These people took advantage of the strength and jumped up, using both hands to lift up. He grabbed hold and climbed directly to the high courtyard wall.

Hearing this, Sun Fujia turned around and glanced at the nearby houses. He saw that the doors of some houses were opened a crack. But when the people inside stretched out their heads and saw that there were so many people like Lin Feng, they quickly shrank their heads. He went back, and at the same time with a bang, the door was closed heavily.

Sun Fujia shook his head and said: "It's a pity that their calculations were wrong and no one will help them."

"People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is the self-protection mechanism of life. If they are close friends and relatives, people will resist this mechanism and take risks. But they are not related to the people nearby, so why should the people risk their lives to save them? them?"

Lin Feng smiled, not surprised at this result.

At this time, the sounds in the mansion gradually weakened, and Lin Feng said: "It seems that the trouble has been solved. Dr. Sun, let's go in."

Everyone stepped into the mansion.

As soon as they entered, everyone couldn't help but be startled, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Inside the mansion, the cobblestone pavement is smooth and smooth, and the spacious yard is paved with huge stone slabs, which is very clean.

There is a well on the right side of the yard. Surrounding the well is a small garden in which there are several tall pines standing upright.

There are no weeds on the ground.

How does this look like it has been uninhabited for ten years? Someone is clearly taking care of it!

Lin Feng looked at the appearance that was cleaner than his own yard and couldn't help but smile: "It's interesting. From the outside, it looks like no one has cared about it for ten years, as if it has been abandoned by time, but inside it is so exquisite. It seems that this Jin Fenglu is still a person who pursues quality of life." Even if you may never use this mansion in your lifetime, you must ensure that when you come here, you can enjoy everything that is available outside.”

Sun Fujia thought for a long time and finally said: "It's really rich."

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard Sun Fujia's comments.

"Lin Templezheng."

At this time, Zhao Xieyang walked over quickly and said: "Xiaoguan found fifteen people hiding here in this mansion. After we revealed their identities, they still resisted and refused to obey the order, and even picked up Weapons are needed to resist, so the official can only order to attack them."

"In the end, eight of the fifteen people were killed on the spot, and seven were captured alive."

"And this person..."

Zhao Xieyang turned around and pointed at a burly, bearded man tied behind him, and said, "He is the leader of these people."

Lin Feng looked at the bearded man. Before he could speak, he heard a voice: "Lin Si Zheng, he was the one who sneaked away from the back door of Jin Fenglu Mansion and moved the box away."

This was the voice of the spy arranged by Lin Feng.

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled and looked at the bearded man who was still struggling restlessly despite being tied by a rope, and said, "Where is the box that Jin Fenglu asked you to hide? Where is it?"

The bearded man glared at Lin Feng with an angry voice and said loudly: "What box? I don't understand what you mean! This is my mansion. You broke into my mansion for no reason and killed my people! I want to report it to the Yamen you!"

Lin Feng's dark and deep eyes stared at the bearded man. He waited quietly for the bearded man to finish speaking, and then said calmly: "Has anyone ever told you that your eyelids will jump unconsciously when you are nervous? Someone has told you that you are lying. Sometimes, the corners of your mouth will twitch subconsciously, and your eyes will move randomly? "

The bearded man was violently beaten, and he who had been struggling just now felt as if he had been hit with a stick.

Lin Feng continued: "Zhao County Lieutenant has already told you our identity, and you still call us to report to the Yamen? Are you too nervous, causing your brain to stop thinking, and you don't know how to express your anger? I can teach you, you Is it okay to break into private houses and kill people indiscriminately? Where is the justice of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Come on, shout. Make your voice sad and angry, so that the people who hear you can feel the same." "..."

The bearded man was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng blankly, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Zhao Xieyang and others also looked at each other, and then looked at the bearded man with pity. Even his master Jin Fenglu was treated as a chess piece in front of Lin Feng. How could he have the courage to shout with Lin Feng?
"Tell you one more thing."

Lin Feng looked at the bearded man who was frozen on the spot and continued: "Jin Fenglu is dead. Unfortunately, he was imprisoned in the woodshed by the enemy, and the woodshed was swallowed up by the fire. He didn't even have a chance to escape... So , your master is gone, you still have to contend with the imperial court for a dead master? Do you really not want any way to survive? "

Listening to Lin Feng's words, the bearded man's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

After he transported the box here according to Jin Fenglu's order, he never went out again, so he had no idea about Jin Fenglu's situation or that Jin Fenglu was dead.

Hearing the bad news suddenly at this moment was no less than being hit hard on the head with a stick.

"How could...how could this happen!?"

He shook his head, not wanting to believe it.

From the first moment he met the bearded man, Lin Feng used psychological methods to attack and guide him. He first confused his mind and then attacked his defenses. It was obvious that the bearded man could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

"As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. You are just Jin Fenglu's subordinates. You do many things under his orders, which may not be your original intention. Therefore, if he deserves to die, you may not deserve to die. If he dies, so will you. You don’t have to die with him.”

Lin Feng struck while the iron was hot and looked at the bearded man with eyes that kept flashing and was obviously shaken, and said: "If he was still alive, your loyalty would be praised by many people, but now that he is dead, if you are still worried about such a If you are a rebellious traitor and don't care about the life and death of your family, then I think you are really stupid, ridiculous, and ruthless, and you don't even care about your family. What kind of men are you!"

The bearded man pursed his lips tightly, and there was obvious sweat dripping from his forehead.

He lowered his head, a look of struggle and hesitation flashing across his face.

When Lin Feng saw this, he knew that he was just a step away from the enemy. He said: "You still have a chance to make meritorious deeds. As long as you cooperate with us, I can promise in front of everyone that your crimes will never harm your family. And You can also be punished lightly.”

The bearded man suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng, and he said, "Can I trust you?"

Lin Feng said calmly: "I, Lin Feng, have never broken the promise I made."

The bearded man's eyes kept moving left and right, and his hands kept clenching and unclenching. After being silent for more than ten breaths, he finally took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "The box you are looking for is in the first room on the north side of the left wing. In this room, the bed in the room can be moved, and the floor below can be lifted, and there is a secret room under the floor. "

After hearing the bearded man's words, everyone's eyes immediately lit up. They didn't expect Lin Feng to really say a few words, so they asked him to speak obediently.

"Lieutenant Zhao, why are you still standing there?"

Lin Feng said calmly: "Go ahead and carry the box out."

Zhao Xieyang hurriedly said: "I'll go down there right now."

With that said, he led the people and rushed directly to the room.

Lin Feng did not look at Zhao Xieyang and others, his eyes still fell on the bearded man. He smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have made the most correct choice in life."

The bearded man smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Si doesn't need to put gold on my face. I know that I am just a treacherous villain now."

"You are indeed treacherous while Jin Fenglu is still alive, but now that he is dead and all the people you are loyal to are gone, what else can you say about treachery?"

Lin Feng comforted the bearded man so that he would not feel too much psychological pressure over Jin Fenglu's betrayal, and then directly changed the subject and said, "How much do you know about Jin Fenglu?"

The bearded man asked: "What is Lin Si referring to?"

"The forces behind Jin Fenglu."

After brushing, the bearded man suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened again, showing a look of extreme astonishment.

Looking at the reaction of the bearded man, Lin Feng smiled and said, "What? Are you surprised that I know these things about Jin Fenglu?"

The bearded man didn't understand how terrifying Lin Feng was until this moment. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Indeed, I didn't expect Lin Si Zheng to know this... It has only been less than two days since Lin Si Zheng came to Shenshan County. "

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously: "Where do you think my reputation for investigating cases comes from? As long as I want to know, there is nothing I don't know so far... Tell me, how much do you know."

Since Jin Fenglu arranged for the bearded man to be responsible for the transfer of the box as soon as he was suspected, it is enough to show his trust in the bearded man. The bearded man should be Jin Fenglu's confidant. He has definitely done a lot for Jin Fenglu and knows a lot. Jin Fenglu’s secret.

That is why Lin Feng spent time and energy to subdue the bearded man.

"I do know that there is a terrifying force behind the master."

The bearded man said truthfully: "This force found me before I got rich. They helped me get rich. They gave me all the support I needed and made me the richest businessman in Shenshan County. I will also be affected by this." control of the forces to complete the mission.”

There will be no pie falling in the sky. If you gain something, you will have to pay for it. Everything is priced in fate.

Lin Feng nodded, knowing how the merchants from the Western Regions bribed members in the Tang Dynasty.

"continue."

The bearded man continued: "This force is very mysterious. Every time I meet with the master, they meet in secret. In the years I have followed the master, I only met them by chance once. At that time, they were talking to the master, and I happened to hear something."

When Sun Fujia heard this, he leaned forward and said, "What did they say?"

The bearded man frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I was far away, so I couldn't hear clearly. I only heard one complete sentence clearly."

"What?" Sun Fujia asked.

The bearded man said: "They say... you have to muddy the water. Only when the undercurrent is turbulent will you have a chance."

"You have to muddy the water, make it so turbulent, and have a big wave before you have a chance?"

When Sun Fuga heard this, he couldn't help but ponder the meaning of this sentence.

Lin Feng also squinted his eyes, and his mind was also analyzing the meaning of these words. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "When did you hear these words?"

"The autumn of the second year of Zhenguan."

"Autumn of the second year of Zhenguan?" Lin Feng touched his chin, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Feng asked again.

"Have!"

The bearded man looked at Lin Feng and said, "The accent they speak sounds like people from the Western Regions. It has a barbaric feel."

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looked at each other, their expressions showed no surprise.

"Is there more?" Sun Fuga continued to ask.

The bearded man shook his head: "I don't dare to inquire about the master's secrets. If it weren't for that chance encounter, I wouldn't even know these things."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, not surprised by this. After all, the Western Region merchants were a more mysterious force than the Four Elephants Organization. It was normal for them to be cautious.

It was a bit of a surprise for Lin Feng to get this information from the bearded man.

He thought for a while and said: "Do you know what things they have arranged for your master to do over the years? What tasks has he completed?"

The bearded man shook his head: "I have done many things, but I don't know which things they asked me to do and which things I did myself."

Lin Feng had been paying attention to the bearded man's expression and subconscious movements. When he said these words, he looked calm, without any dodge or additional subconscious movements, which was enough to show that he was not lying.

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Can you write?"

The bearded man nodded: "I know a little bit."

"Then let someone else write it."

Lin Feng said: "In a moment, tell me in detail what you know about what Jin Fenglu has done over the years, especially the big things, the turning points for Jin Fenglu, and the people with special status you have come into contact with, such as officials, great scholars, and others. Wealthy businessmen and the like, as well as which cities he has been to and when he went, must be told."

In order to survive for his family and himself, the bearded man would naturally not disobey Lin Feng at this time.

Seeing the bearded man nodding, Lin Feng said directly: "Come here, take him to make a confession."

Soon, someone took the bearded man to a side room to record.

Sun Fujia looked at this scene and said: "Zide, do you want to find other members of the Western Region merchant power from Jin Fenglu?"

Lin Feng did not hide anything from Sun Fujia. He said: "Since the merchant forces in the Western Regions have cultivated Jin Fenglu from scratch into a big businessman, they will never waste Jin Fenglu."

"So over the years, Jin Fenglu must have done a lot for the business forces in the Western Regions. Therefore, starting from Jin Fenglu's whereabouts over the years, analyzing the things he has done and the people he has come into contact with, we may be able to find some things that we cannot usually find. Anomalies and secrets, maybe... the mystery of the merchant power in the Western Regions, if he is here, there is a chance to be revealed. "

Sun Fujia thought for a while, then nodded: "There is indeed such an opportunity, but the workload is huge."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "I happened to feel bored on the way back to Chang'an. Isn't this... something to relieve my boredom?"

Lin Feng's positive and optimistic attitude always makes Sun Fujia sigh, as if in front of Lin Feng, any boring and tiring thing can become something worth being happy about.

Just as Sun Fuga was about to say something, Zhao Xieyang's excited voice suddenly came: "The box has been found!"
