People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 239 Two cases are one case? The real purpose beneath the surface!

"Do you have any idea?"

When Xiao Yu heard Lin Feng's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up. A look of joy quickly appeared on his face and he asked: "What can I do?"

Lin Feng's fingertips slid lightly on the file paper, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I found some interesting things in the file, and I am going to talk to County Magistrate Zhou about it. I think... if Magistrate Zhou doesn't notice it, If he goes to these interesting places, he should be willing to make some concessions in exchange for these discoveries."

"interesting place?"

Xiao Yu thought about it for a moment, then suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Did you make any special discoveries about this case?"

"It's not that special, but it is a place that is easily overlooked..."

Then, Lin Feng told Xiao Yu what he had discovered. After hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this... really like this?"

He quickly took the file and took a closer look at where Lin Feng said it. His eyes widened slightly: "That's really the case!"

He quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, how sure are you?"

Therefore, if Lin Feng really helped Zhou Helin, Zhou Helin would give in in order to show his kindness and generosity. Not to mention that Zhou Helin should also be aware of Lin Feng's potential and know that even if Lin Feng cannot be promoted to the fourth rank this time, he will not be promoted to the fourth rank in the future. There must be great hope to reach the fourth level. In this case, Zhou Helin will not do anything to get his future self into trouble at the same level.

"Zi De..." Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng with emotion and said from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest, although you were born in a poor family and are not as good as the heirs of wealthy families and royal family members, your open-mindedness is far no worse than theirs. This is the most valuable quality. With this quality and your ability, it is only a matter of time before you become successful.”

"Not found?" Lin Feng frowned and said: "According to the voyage logs of those cargo ships, I gave Mr. Xiao a specific time period. During that time period, they did pass through the ferry near Chang'an, and I returned from Linshui County. On the way, I also learned from the people of the Four Elephants Organization that their target was indeed Chang'an. I should have deduced it correctly, but how could I not find anything?"

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled: "Then there is nothing I can do. After all, if I don't do this, I won't even have a chance to investigate. In that case, what's the difference between finding the truth and Magistrate Zhou? I'll help Magistrate Zhou , I still have a chance. If I don’t help, there will be no chance at all... So Mr. Xiao, what do you think I should do? "

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "As long as your findings are correct and he really didn't notice this, then regardless of whether he is willing to give in, he must give in, but..."

Xiao Yu also looked puzzled and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about your guess just now, but if it is true as you said, the minerals they transported were unloaded at a ferry farther away, then their ship would be full of Where did Dengdeng’s goods come from?”

"Could it be that in order to be more cautious, they did not send the goods to the ferry near Chang'an, but unloaded the goods at a ferry farther away, and then transported them to Chang'an by other means?"

He put down the teapot, took a deep breath, looked more serious, and said, "Duke Xiao should have received the letter I sent from Linshui County, right?"

The content recorded above is very detailed, including the oral statements of the workers who moved the goods, as well as some random inspections by the yamen.

Maintaining the superficial warmth and showing due generosity and magnanimity are the most basic qualities of an official. Otherwise, if the people in power think that they are too small to be useful, they may have no future.

The goods transported by these cargo ships were all the goods required by the merchants' lists, including silk, cloth, wood, and grain...but there were no minerals. There were no unprocessed minerals that Lin Feng had discovered in Luoshan.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Whether County Magistrate Zhou has discovered this, I will naturally find out when I go to find him... Anyway, we have no better way now, so why not try it, in case he doesn't know, then I will tell him, There is no doubt that it has done him a great favor, and he cannot refuse this favor. "

"Being able to enjoy hardships instead of feeling sorry for yourself is many times better than those people who have high aspirations."

"Although we are in a competitive relationship now, we are not life-and-death enemies. In the future, we will still have to look up and not look down. In this case, he can't be too ruthless, so he will know very well that I help him just to let him He gave in, even if he still didn't want me to investigate the case directly, he would definitely agree to my asking about such a small thing as Mrs. Wang."

Lin Feng knew that Xiao Yu was comforting himself. If he failed next, he would not be too shocked. He felt that he was very lucky. Although he had just traveled to the Tang Dynasty and was in a hellish situation, he could meet Xiao Yusun. It is a real blessing for people like Fujia to be able to survive.

Xiao Yu understands official matters better than Lin Feng.

Xiao Yu looked solemn, shook his head and said, "Nothing was found."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yu nodded happily and said, "I was worried that you would be too utilitarian and worry about gains and losses, which would lead to mental problems. Now that you see a clear heart, I feel relieved."

Lin Feng said: "What I saw is, after all, just the most superficial record in the file. I have no idea whether Magistrate Zhou discovered anything later or what the current condition of the body is, so I naturally dare not say anything with 100% certainty. But if there are no errors in the contents of the file, even the most superficial appearance is enough to confirm a lot of things... Therefore, as long as the records are correct, I am at least 70% sure."

Even if they are jealous of each other behind their backs, they will never let each other down openly.

Xiao Yu nodded: "Lai Guogong sent me the same letter through different channels. After I received the letter, I followed your request and immediately arranged for personnel to go to the ferry near Chang'an to investigate."

Xiao Yu looked at the dossier with a thoughtful look on his face. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I don't know if Zhou Helin has also discovered this, but at least I have no doubts about this at all... and Zhou Helin has been investigating for five years. Oh my god, we still haven’t found the real culprit, so I suspect that he probably didn’t discover this and took the wrong path from the beginning.”

Then he placed the papers on the table in front of Lin Feng and said, "This is the result of our investigation."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

Lin Feng expressed to Xiao Yu that he understood Xiao Yu's painstaking efforts, and continued: "After Xiao Gong and I finish reporting my experience and gains this time, I will go to County Magistrate Zhou to give it a try. No matter what the result is, I have to do it after all. Only then will you know.”

When Lin Feng saw that Xiao Yu's tea cup was empty, he quickly picked up the teapot and filled Xiao Yu's tea. He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, after talking about Chang'an City, tell me about me. ”

"How could this happen?" Lin Feng frowned.

Precisely because of meeting them, I don't have to do things without conscience and can still be myself. Even at this moment, I still maintain my true heart and don't have to be forced to live in the same world.

And the result, as Xiao Yu said... there was no problem at all.

He suddenly changed his voice and said in a deep voice: "Zi De, if he really didn't discover this, then you helped him. You undoubtedly helped him reverse the wrong direction and allowed him to quickly grasp the key to the case. And he has been investigating for five days, and he has far more clues and a better understanding of the case than you... So, you are not afraid that he will find the truth first, and you will make a wedding dress for him instead? "

I saw the paper detailing the goods unloaded and loaded by the cargo ships after arriving at the ferry near Chang'an.

Lin Feng didn't expect that Xiao Yu would suddenly praise him. He smiled and said, "Don't say that, Mr. Xiao. I'm just enjoying the hardships without any other choice."

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu, saw Xiao Yu looking at him seriously, chuckled, and said: "If it were really so easy to find the truth in this case, Magistrate Zhou wouldn't have to wait for me to help him... Of course, if Magistrate Zhou found the truth before me, and I will not regret it. Putting aside personal interests, it is a good thing to be able to find the real murderer for Wang Shaoqing earlier. "

"How is it?" Lin Feng asked hurriedly.

"As for my personal interests..."

Xiao Yu also shook his head. He stood up slowly, went to the bookshelf behind him, and found a stack of papers.

"A seventy percent certainty...is quite a lot."

"With Mr. Xiao's words, even if the world falls apart, I think I can still face it with a smile."

"According to the workers who moved the goods, the cargo of these ships was very full, and there was no chance of loading other heavy minerals. Therefore, it was impossible for them to load both the goods needed by the merchants and the minerals."

Lin Feng quickly picked up the paper and looked up.

"You can definitely give it a try."

"The goods transported by these cargo ships are all decided by the merchants. Unless they can prepare them in advance, based on time, they do not transport the merchants' goods to a certain place first, and then return to Cixian County to transport the minerals. time to transport the minerals away and then swap them with the cargo.”

Lin Feng listened to Xiao Yu's words and nodded solemnly. He had specialized in studying the routes and times of these cargo ships and knew the time issue better than Xiao Yu.

"It is indeed too late...unless these merchants are their own people." Lin Feng pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Yu, and said: "If the merchants are also members of the Four Elephants Organization, then they can prepare and stock up on goods in advance. In this case , time is not a problem.”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and nodded immediately: "It is indeed possible. I will arrange for people to secretly investigate these merchants."

"Mr. Xiao is going faster. I have a hunch that the time for the Four Elephants Organization to take action is not far away."

"I see."

Xiao Yu slowly let out a breath and couldn't help but said: "These guys from the Four Elephants Organization are really rabbits. They have figured out how to play Cunning Rabbit Three Caves. Even if you have found their clues at the source, you didn't expect that they You can still hide yourself so deeply.”

"Fortunately, we still have a direction to investigate now. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find them."

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard Xiao Yu's slander, and said, "Actually, it's not as troublesome as Mr. Xiao thought to find the members of the Four Elephants Organization."

"What?" Xiao Yu was startled.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Feng and saw Lin Feng saying meaningfully: "Someone has already led the way for us."

Xiao Yu blinked, his chubby face full of confusion. He seemed to be saying: "What are you talking about? Who can lead us?"

"I haven't had time to tell Mr. Xiao about some of the things I encountered on my return trip..."

Lin Feng saw the confusion on Xiao Yu's face, smiled, and directly told him that he was being chased by Kui Su of the Sixiang Organization, as well as his plans in Shenshan County, and the overt and covert fights between him and the Sixiang Organization, the Jinchai Family, and the merchant forces in the Western Regions. The game was told to Xiao Yu concisely.

"...So, the real Kuisu used the method I used to fake his death to escape again, but he didn't know that this time he no longer had a perfect escape, but was manipulated by me. He has become the person who leads the way for me. Everywhere he goes after returning to Chang'an and every person he meets will guide us to the deeply hidden strongholds and members of the Four Elephants Organization!"

After listening to Lin Feng's story, Xiao Yu felt numb.

When he heard about Lin Feng's method of deceiving the Four Symbols Organization twice, he was already shocked by Lin Feng's planning ability. His ability to predict everything before the enemy could really make Zhuge Kongming calculate the enemy thousands of miles away. It was a strange feeling, but he didn't expect that compared with the game in Shenshan County, it could only be regarded as the beginning of a big drama. Lin Feng experienced everything in Shenshan County. In one day of investigating the case, he discovered the identity of the letter writer of the Du family and the identity of the Jinchai family, the identity of Jin Fenglu's murderer and the identity of the merchants in the Western Regions, and the identity of the secret agent arranged by His Majesty An Shen. And borrowing the identities and positions of these people, using them in clever ways, let them compete with the Four Elephants Organization... There were twists and turns, dangers and opportunities constantly changing, until in the end, Lin Feng's real purpose of delaying time emerged... ...even Xiao Yu, who has rich experience, could not help but be dumbfounded and shocked at this moment.

Not to mention that Lin Feng, behind all these calculations, also used the real Kui Su as a guide to find the stronghold and other members of the Four Elephants Organization for them, thereby completely amplifying the results of that night countless times... In the future It is impossible to predict what kind of effect it will achieve!

This was simply better than any story he had ever heard!

"Zide, are you really not the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but express his shock to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng laughed: "Mr. Xiao really knows how to joke."

"This is no joke."

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng as if he was meeting Lin Feng for the first time, and said: "Your ability to plan, your use of all the forces at hand, your control of the inner thoughts of all forces, your true purpose is brilliant. Hidden under all appearances and convinced the enemy, even in the end, you can flexibly change your plan and use it to your advantage. More importantly, all of this happened in just one day... This Ability, in my opinion, there are definitely not many people in the world who can do it.”

If there was enough time to plan, many people would be able to do what Lin Feng did in Shenshan County. But if the time was shortened to just one day, and if Lin Feng had to face a case with no clues, just like Lin Feng, If there is pressure, then really not many people can do it.

Lin Feng was naturally happy to be so favored by his future father-in-law. However, he still had to maintain his fine traditions in front of his future father-in-law, so Lin Feng said humbly: "I am also lucky. It happens that all forces in Shenshan County have gathered. Otherwise, Shao Fan For any force, I will be like a clever woman struggling to make a meal without rice, unable to delay the time until General Cheng comes to support me. "

Is this luck?

All forces gathered together and had their own plans. Most of them were hostile and malicious towards Lin Feng. Under this situation, Xiao Yu felt that if other people encountered such a complicated situation, they might have been confused a long time ago. It was obviously the worst. of bad luck.

That is, Lin Feng has the opportunity to turn bad luck into good luck.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly moved. Lin Feng could easily win the final victory in such a complicated Shenshan County. Although the two current cases are also very complicated, they may not be more difficult than Shenshan County. Therefore, with Lin Feng's ability , maybe there really is a chance!

He suddenly felt much more relaxed. Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Although your performance is beyond my expectation, this is a good thing! From this point of view, the mystery of the Four Elephants Organization may not have to wait until we find their minerals. It will be revealed.”

Lin Feng also nodded and said with a smile: "But we still can't relax about the whereabouts of those minerals. It's not enough to know who they are and where they are hiding. Only by knowing what their conspiracy is can we truly know our enemies and ourselves. ”

Xiao Yu nodded directly: "I will increase my efforts to investigate... In addition, I have also checked the workshops you asked about. Some of these workshops are private and some are workshops of the Ministry of Works, but no problems were found, so next I will We are going to expand the scope and start investigating the counties closer to Chang'an City, and then extend outward little by little to see if we can find clues in this regard. "

Xiao Yu has rich experience and is experienced in doing things. Lin Feng is very relieved. He said: "Then it will be hard work, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "The affairs of the Four Elephants Organization are tasks we jointly accept from His Majesty. This is also my business, but..."

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "In addition to the Four Elephants organization, the Jinchai family, and the deeply hidden businessmen from the Western Regions, we have to find out what they want to do when they come to Chang'an and what their purpose is."

Speaking of the Jinchai family, Lin Feng said: "The Jinchai family is lucky to have Du Cheng and Chen Miao come to Chang'an. They must have come with a mission. Just keep an eye on them and you will have a chance to know their purpose, and Chen Miao You are still related to Mr. Xiao. If nothing happens, he should come to visit Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao, you can also take the opportunity to test it out. "

Hearing Lin Feng talk about Chen Miao, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. He said solemnly: "Although the Chen family and my Xiao family are relatively distant relatives, we still have some kinship after all, so Chen Yitian came to join me. At that time, I still accepted him without reservation, but I didn’t expect that his Chen family would be a family that inherited the golden hairpin. "

Lin Feng said: "The family that inherits the golden hairpin may not necessarily be evil. After all, the identity was passed down more than a thousand years ago and cannot be changed except by the Chen family leader."

"But I trust him so much, but he has never said this to me... And from what you and Man'er experienced in Linshui County, you can see that he definitely has other thoughts." Xiao Yu has seen it all over the years. The human heart is sinister, and he can tell what a person is thinking at a glance.

So he knew very well that the Chen family and his Xiao family were not of the same mind at all.

Lin Feng was silent and did not speak. He could comment on other Jinchai families, but he could not speak to the Chen family, who were distantly related to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took a long breath, his eyes calmed down, and his voice was calm without any fluctuation: "Chen Miao and the Chen family, don't worry. Since I can lift them up, I can knock them down into the abyss. I just hope they don't really throw them into the abyss." Everything is done.”

Seeing that Xiao Yu had made up his mind, Lin Feng nodded and continued: "The most troublesome thing is the merchant power in the Western Regions."

While talking, Lin Feng took out a few pieces of paper from his arms.

He put the paper in front of Xiao Yu and said: "This is what we have deciphered from those books. It is full of records about officials' corruption and bribery, the time, place and reason, and where the money was used. The records are very detailed. detailed."

"Unsurprisingly, all this money was provided by the merchant forces in the Western Regions, and they seemed to be doing this to manage relationships, but in fact they were doing it for the current opportunity."

He looked at Xiao Yu and said in a deep voice: "I suspect they want to expose these things and directly expose the fact that hundreds of officials have been involved in corruption and bribery, thus causing a shock in the officialdom of the imperial court."

"Mr. Xiao has also dealt with cases of corruption and bribery. He should be able to understand what the consequences will be if this happens... But now, the fourth-grade young minister is mysteriously killed, many forces are vying for the young minister's position, and the prince is in a coma. There is a suspected fight for the right to seize the heir, and the Sixiang organization's long-standing conspiracy is about to take action. The Jinchai family gathers in Chang'an to plot evil... At this time, if hundreds of officials are involved in trouble at the same time, can Mr. Xiao imagine what it will be like? "

Xiao Yu suddenly stood up.

His eyes widened and his pupils shrank violently. Listening to Lin Feng's words, his expression became gloomy and his expression kept changing.

"no!"

Xiao Yu directly grabbed the paper on the table and said: "I want to go to the East Palace, I have to see His Majesty!"

"If this matter cannot be properly resolved, if it is true as you say, then it will not only be a matter of these hundreds of officials, but whether the court can be stable, whether Chang'an can be stable, and even whether the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil. Big deal!”

"We can't delay! We must see His Majesty as soon as possible!"

With that said, Xiao Yu walked out.

As he walked, he said to Lin Feng: "Zide, if you want to rest, go back and rest. If you don't want to rest, go directly to Zhou Helin."

"With this list, I am enough to meet His Majesty. As long as I meet His Majesty, I can completely ask Your Majesty to provide you with a tassel. So even if you cannot make Zhou Helin give in, you can quickly participate in the investigation of this case."

After hearing this, Lin Feng stood up and looked at Xiao Yu, saying: "I have a good impression of Magistrate Zhou, and Dali Temple and Chang'an County Government often need to cooperate. The relationship between us should not be too tense. If we can It is more appropriate to participate in a gentle way.”

"certainly……"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "If County Magistrate Zhou has discovered the problem, or if Magistrate Zhou turns against him after I help him, then I will be very willing to accept Mr. Xiao's help."

Xiao Yu liked Lin Feng's flexible bottom line. He nodded and said: "You can do it in your own way. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will ask your majesty to serve you. With your majesty's order, you can truly have the choice of others." Participate in the case with a clear identity.”

"And... don't force it."

Xiao Yu said: "I didn't know that you still had this list before. Now that you have this list, once it is found out that they are corrupt and bribed as the list says, then you will have made a great achievement. This great achievement will definitely be done by you." It’s not weaker than the case of Wang Shaoqing’s murder, it’s not even worse than the case of the prince. You already have the opportunity to make mistakes.”

Lin Feng naturally understood this, which was why he never felt stressed. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I understand."

Seeing that the arrangements had been made, Xiao Yu turned around and left without further delay.

Looking at Xiao Yu's hurried back, Lin Feng pondered for a while, then turned and walked out.

Although he was very tired, he was not ready to rest. He wanted to go directly to Wang Jian's mansion to find Zhou Helin.

With the credit on the list, Lin Feng also knew that he did not have to solve Wang Jian's murder case, but Lin Feng always felt that Wang Jian's death was not an independent matter, but was closely related to the current complex situation in Chang'an.

It was precisely because of Wang Jian's death that various forces competed for the position of Shaoqing, and that he had to choose to investigate the prince's coma.

These things, if we break away from the phenomenon and only look at the essence, are actually layered and progressive, one link after another. Without any link, the next thing cannot be guaranteed to happen.

Therefore, Lin Feng suspected that Wang Jian’s death and the prince’s coma might have some connection, or even that the same person was behind it.

Therefore, if it is impossible to find out why Wang Jian died, it is likely that the investigation of the prince's case will be very passive or even directly lead to a dead end.

If that moment really comes, he may really be in the maelstrom and crisis of inheriting the throne.

For his own safety, and in order to take the initiative in this chaotic situation and figure out all the truth hidden under the fog, he must investigate Wang Jian's death!

This has nothing to do with the position of Shaoqing.

Lin Feng's focus is on the farther future.

It's just that he can't tell anyone, not even Xiao Yu. It's not that he doesn't believe Xiao Yu, but that he can't let the people behind the scenes know these thoughts. Once the enemy knows, the people behind the scenes are likely to To respond, only by showing that you are fighting desperately for the position of Shaoqing can you confuse the people behind the scenes.

The more people know about this kind of thing, the easier it is to leak it. Only by not telling anyone can we ensure real safety.

Therefore, he will investigate the case openly and compete with Zhou Helin and others for the position of Shaoqing. Secretly, he will look for the cause and effect and connection between the two cases and find the real secrets hidden under the two cases.

And if you want to do all this, the first step... is to have a game with Zhou Helin, the magistrate of Chang'an County, to make the appearance of fighting for the position of Shaoqing more real!
