People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 241 The crushing of wisdom! Unexpected discovery! (Thanks to the leader Meng Guoxing))

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin felt that the world was spinning, as if the sun and the moon had lost all light at this moment, and the world turned gray.

"It turned out to be really wrong. I was wrong from the beginning..."

He froze in place, his whole body was struck like an eggplant beaten by frost, his face was pale and very ugly.

He spent five days investigating. In order to prevent others from interfering, he blocked all information and directly regarded Wang Jian's case as his own and as a stepping stone to compete for the position of Shaoqing. A stepping stone, but who knew... He was wrong from the beginning. In five days, he was completely racing on the wrong road.

As a result, his progress on the case was even worse than that of Lin Feng who had just returned to Chang'an and only glanced at the file.

As a student of Fang Xuanling, Zhou Helin is also a fifth-rank magistrate of Chang'an County. It can be said that it has been a smooth journey. Who can see him without flattering him? He looks humble, but in fact he is very proud inside, and he always looks down on others in his heart.

So, how could someone as proud as him accept such a blow?
How could he accept the fact that he was so much worse than Lin Feng?

He looked at Lin Feng, and at this moment, he felt a lot of uncontrollable feelings of envy, jealousy and even unwillingness in his heart. He was not willing to be compared to Lin Feng like this. He was not willing to be beaten by a man who had just investigated the case that he had taken the lead in investigating for five days. Lin Feng arrived in Chang'an to compare.

"It's not over yet... He just discovered the real murderer's tricks, but his understanding of the entire case is much worse than mine!"

As long as he holds the banner of the Emperor's Life, he can control Lin Feng to death. So what if Lin Feng has super talent for solving crimes? Unable to contact more people and unable to conduct deeper investigations, isn't it difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw?

After all, he owed Lin Feng a big favor. If he really didn't give in at all, once word spread, it would definitely give others the impression of being ignorant of the world and ungrateful. This was not what he wanted.

"so……"

How can we possibly show you the clues we worked so hard to find... Zhou Helin showed an embarrassed look again: "Our files are now confidential, and no one else can read them except those investigating the case, so Wanglin Temple I understand...but if Lin Sizheng asked the question himself, then there would be no problem."

However, although Zhou Helin knew Lin Feng's intentions, he would not really let Lin Feng get his wish. This case was regarded by him as something in his pocket. How could he let Lin Feng snatch it away? He looked embarrassed and said: "Lin Si Yes, I fully understand your desire to avenge Wang Shaoqing, but you also know this case. His Majesty personally handed it over to me for investigation, and a fourth-grade official was killed in the mansion. The nature of this case is too bad. Your Majesty requires me to solve the case as soon as possible, and no matter who the real culprit is, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he must be severely punished! "

When Zhou Helin saw that Lin Feng no longer greeted him, he knew it was time for him to return the favor.

Lin Feng had a keen mind, how could he not know what Zhou Helin was thinking, but he did not stop him in any way, just nodded and said: "It is important for Magistrate Zhou to investigate the case, I will be fine."

He looked at Lin Feng, the look of shock and shock on his face quickly disappeared, and the smile reappeared. He quickly raised his hands and said: "Lin Si Zhengzhen is worthy of being called a detective. He can see through the real murderer's tricks at a glance. I admire him!"

"This……"

Lin Feng laughed and did not refuse. In fact, Zhou Helin did not think of freezing corpses, so he could not blame Zhou Helin.

Even if the help this time is a very unemotional transaction, a smart person will not make it difficult to save face, and will try his best to show a warm atmosphere.

His eyes flickered and he said: "Lin Sizheng helped me point out the real murderer's trick. He really helped me a lot. I don't know how to repay this favor. I wonder if Lin Sizheng needs my help with anything. As long as I can, I will do my best to help Lin SiZheng."

Lin Feng couldn't help but frown when he heard Zhou Helin's "intimate" words. He said, "Is it just Mrs. Wang?"

Seeing the reluctance on Lin Feng's face, Zhou Helin was very satisfied. He felt that he had finally taken the initiative for the first time since meeting Lin Feng.

"He is further away from solving the case than me, and he let me know the real murderer's tricks. I have found the right direction of investigation, and now the advantage is entirely mine! This is the opportunity that my mentor fought for for me. I will definitely We can’t let him take it away! Only I can solve this case!”

Zhou Helin's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood that Lin Feng was giving in.

Seeing Zhou Helin regain his composure in a very short time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed a few times. He smiled and said humbly: "I don't dare to be a detective. I'm just lucky and happened to discover these anomalies."

Wang Jian takes care of you? What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t you just go to Dali Temple for a few months? And you have been running around these past few months. Can you and Wang Jian have spoken more than ten sentences... The secret that Lin Feng is a substitute has long been exposed. Although no one dares to embarrass Lin Feng with this secret, it also makes everyone Everyone knew Lin Feng's true situation, so much so that after hearing Lin Feng's excuse, Zhou Helin couldn't help but curse in his heart. He really knew that everyone knew each other's feelings, and he didn't want to look for more excuses.

"Therefore, before the case is clear, I am trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, and dare not relax at all... It's not that I am unkind and I don't want you to investigate, but just in case... What if the real culprit is hidden, what if the real culprit What if I want to know the progress of my investigation through this method and respond accordingly?”

He said: "County Magistrate Zhou also knows that Wang Shaoqing is the young minister of our Dali Temple. He usually takes good care of me. Now that he has been killed by thieves, not only are we at Dali Temple extremely angry, but I am even more angry in my heart. I wish I could kill him immediately." The evildoers will be caught and punished on the spot.”

Zhou Helin nodded, and then he looked at the Yamen servant aside, gave the Yamen servant a look, then strode away.

The advantage is entirely in your own hands!

Lin Feng seemed to be sure that Zhou Helin would not give in anymore, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Well, I'll ask Magistrate Zhou to make some arrangements for me."

After Zhou Helin pondered for a moment, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said: "Well, Lin Sizheng has helped me so much, and I am a passionate person. How can I let Lin Sizheng be unable to complete the task and go back to be scolded? So, I can let Lin Sizheng know some of the case, so that Lin Sizheng can go back and report. "

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, looking worried.

When Lin Feng knew clearly that he would not let him directly intervene in the case, he did the next best thing and chose to know some of the circumstances of the case.

"So, I came to see County Magistrate Zhou because I have a merciless request. I want to investigate the murder of Wang Shaoqing, find the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge Wang Shaoqing!"

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes quickly lit up, and he quickly said: "Then I would like to thank County Magistrate Zhou very much. Mr. Xiao said that he wanted to know the specific circumstances before Wang Shaoqing's death and the corresponding progress of the case. I wonder if Magistrate Zhou can Will you let me take a look at the corresponding investigation files?”

As for whether Lin Feng could obtain the imperial order... Zhou Helin knew that Li Shimin had been staying in the East Palace and had not even had a chance to see his mentor. Under such circumstances, how could Lin Feng have the opportunity to ask Li Shimin for the imperial order?

Lin Feng smiled and said directly, "I really have something I want Magistrate Zhou to do for me."

Lin Feng's face also looked a little bad. He frowned and said: "I understand County Magistrate Zhou very well, but I can't hide it from County Magistrate Zhou. Before I came, I had already guaranteed it to Mr. Xiao, saying that I would definitely investigate Wang Shaoqing's case. At least I can learn about Wang Shaoqing’s circumstances before his death and some of the facts of the case... So, if I go back like this, I can’t explain it to Mr. Xiao.”

But he was even more unwilling to give up the opportunity to Lin Feng, so both sides gave in and let Lin Feng only know some of the facts of the case. It was not unacceptable to him.

"Does Lin Sizheng want to know what happened to Wang Shaoqing before his death? Wang Shaoqing lived with Mrs. Wang that night. Mrs. Wang knows his situation best, so I can arrange for Lin Sizheng to meet with Mrs. Wang. I can give Lin Sizheng two quarters of an hour. In these two quarters of an hour, Lin Sizheng can learn as much as he can. I think this should help Lin Sizheng go back to work, right?"

Listening to Zhou Helin's words, Zhao Shishi's expression couldn't help but change. He didn't expect that Zhou Helin would explicitly reject Lin Feng when he owed Lin Feng a favor.

Zhou Helin shook his head and said: "This is not luck. On the first day of investigation, I noticed the damp clothes and quilts, but I never thought that it would be after the body was frozen. Caused by thawing... This is Lin Si Zheng's knowledge and experience, and luck will not tell Lin Si Zheng this knowledge. "

After all, the autopsy technology in this era is limited. Unlike later generations, there are many ways to determine the time of death... Even in later generations, sometimes the time of death will be misjudged because the body is frozen, so Zhou Helin was wrong from the beginning. Well, it can only be said that he was unlucky and met a very cunning murderer.

But now that he knew the correct direction of the investigation, as long as he gave himself a little more time, he might be able to find out the truth. When Lin Feng saw Li Shimin, the day lily was cold!

Zhou Helin was carefully taught by Fang Xuanling, so he was naturally not a weak-minded person. His thoughts were changing and he quickly calmed down.

He just wanted to investigate in the right direction quickly and did not want to waste more time on Lin Feng, so he said: "I will arrange for someone to lead the way for Lin Sizheng. Lin Sizheng only has two-quarters of an hour. You must hurry up. After two-quarters of an hour, Someone will send Lin Sizheng away... I have to hurry up to investigate the case, so I won’t accompany Lin Sizheng.”

Zhou Helin said: "I have made an exception for Lin Sizheng. I hope Lin Sizheng can understand."

Zhou Helin looked embarrassed and sighed: "If you want to do other things, I will help you, but I really can't help you with this matter."

The yamen servant looked away, quickly looked at Lin Feng enthusiastically, and said, "Lin Si Zheng, are we going to see Mrs. Wang now?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Thank you."

"Everywhere, everything should be done by small children."

With that said, the yamen servant turned around and led the way.

Lin Feng finally entered the palace where the crime occurred.

As Zhao Shiwu followed the government officials, he felt the vigilance and hostility of the government officials around him and Lin Feng. He couldn't help but whispered: "Father, you are so sorry. You did such a big favor for Magistrate Zhou and let him find The right direction of investigation, but in the end, he did not agree to let you investigate the case. He was not even willing to give you the files on the case. He only allowed you to meet Mrs. Wang. He was really too much. This kind of reward is not as good as what you gave. His help?"

Lin Feng listened to Zhao Shiwu defending himself, but he smiled and said, "Do you know what the real purpose of my coming here is?"

Zhao Shiwu asked doubtfully: "Isn't it to investigate the case?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "As one of my biggest competitors for County Magistrate Zhou, he knows very well that once I find out the truth, I will quickly surpass him, so in order to stop me, he won't even sell Xiao Siqing's face. , how could he just ask me to investigate the case just because I did him a favor?”

Zhao Shishi was stunned for a moment: "So... the adoptive father already knew that he would not let the adoptive father investigate the case?"

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right." "Since the foster father knew that he would not investigate the case with the foster father, why did he still make such a request?"

Lin Feng said meaningfully: "If I don't ask for prices like this, how can I give him a chance to bargain? If I don't let him bargain, how can I make him think that he has made a profit and I have lost?"

Zhao Shishi has been with Lin Feng for so long, no matter how honest he is, as time goes by, he will become wiser under the influence of his ears and eyes. At this moment, under Lin Feng's guidance, he finally realized it.

He widened his eyes and almost exclaimed: "So... the real purpose of the adoptive father is to meet Mrs. Wang!?"

Seeing that Zhao Shiwu finally understood what he meant, Lin Feng nodded happily and said with a smile: "When I discussed this case with Mr. Xiao, I was sure that Mrs. Wang would be the key figure in the case, and she would definitely be able to provide important clues. ”

"So, my real purpose is to meet Mrs. Wang and get clues from her... But I can't say it directly in front of County Magistrate Zhou. Once I tell my purpose, Magistrate Zhou will regard me as a competitor. , will never let me get what I want.”

"That's why I used many psychological guidance methods to get Magistrate Zhou to ask me to see Mrs. Wang. In this case, he would feel that it was all his initiative and that he deliberately made it difficult for me to make the decision. Only if it’s my wish would he be completely assured of letting me meet Mrs. Wang.”

Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but open his mouth, and looked at Lin Feng with an expression full of admiration and admiration.

He really didn't expect that the negotiation just now, in which Zhou Helin had the upper hand, was actually under the control of his adoptive father.

Thinking about Zhou Helin's proud expression when he left just now, Zhao Shiwu couldn't bear to think about how shocked Zhou Helin would be when he knew the truth.

This is not on the same level at all!
"But after meeting Mrs. Wang, we can't participate in the investigation?" Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but continue to ask.

Lin Feng smiled: "Who told you that you can't investigate?"

"He has the emperor's mandate. If he doesn't agree, we can't really investigate."

"He has the imperial mandate, but I don't?"

"What?" Zhao Shiwu was stunned again.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Xiao Gong has already gone to see His Majesty. He will ask for the emperor's order for me... so it won't be long before the emperor's order comes. Therefore, County Magistrate Zhou thought he was blocking my time, but he didn't know. The moment I entered the palace, I was actually involved in the investigation."

Zhao Shiwu couldn't close his mouth again. He couldn't help but mourn for Zhou Helin in his heart. Meeting a competitor like Lin Feng was really sad for Zhou Helin.

While the two were talking, Lin Feng kept observing the situation in the palace.

He found that only the government servants were walking around in the palace, and there was no sign of any servants. This made him realize that Zhou Helin should have controlled everyone in the palace, not only to prevent them from colluding with each other, but also to prevent anyone from escaping and destroying the clues.

It seems that Zhou Helin suspected that Wang Jian was killed by someone from the palace.

"Lin SiZheng, we are here."

At this time, the voice of the government servant who led them sounded.

Lin Feng turned around and saw that they had stopped in front of the door of a room. At this time, there was a government servant guarding the door. He was in the same configuration as the rest of the palace. It seemed that Zhou Helin had not asked anything valuable from Mrs. Wang. clues, otherwise Zhou Helin would never have generously asked for him to see Mrs. Wang.

The yamen servant said: "Mrs. Wang is in the room. Lin Sizheng can meet with Mrs. Wang and ask about Wang Shaoqing's situation, but Lin Sizheng only has two-quarters of an hour. When two-quarters of an hour is up, the subordinate will knock on the door and return to Lin Si. Just be able to leave in time, otherwise it will be difficult for you to be a subordinate."

Lin Feng nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

The officer's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you Lin Si Zheng."

With that, he pushed open the door and said, "Lin Si is inviting you."

Lin Feng nodded and entered the room with Zhao Shiwu.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Feng saw a woman sitting on a stool next to a round table. The woman looked like she was in her thirties, with a plump figure, fair skin, beautiful facial features, and a gentle temperament, giving people the gentle feeling of a matron. .

However, perhaps due to the sudden change, her face was a little pale, her brows were full of sadness, and there was a hint of sadness and depression.

Seeing Lin Feng's arrival, Mrs. Wang was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up: "Lin Si Zheng?"

Lin Feng didn't expect Mrs. Wang to recognize him. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Wang has seen Lin?"

"It's really Lin Si Zheng!" When Mrs. Wang heard Lin Feng's words, her red and swollen eyes from crying countless times showed a glimmer of color. She said, "I have never met Lin Si Zheng, but my husband has mentioned Lin Si Zheng many times. , he said that there is no case in the world that Lin Sizheng cannot solve, and Lin Sizheng is a well-deserved detective... So after something happened to my husband, I have been praying, hoping that Lin Sizheng can come to investigate my husband's case and find out the real culprit. Revenge for your husband! Unexpectedly, Lin Sizheng is really here."

Listening to Mrs. Wang's words and seeing the excitement and hope in Mrs. Wang's eyes, Lin Feng said slowly: "Mrs. Wang, don't worry, Lin will do his best to avenge Wang Shaoqing as soon as possible."

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly and she cried with joy: "It's great that Lin SiZheng is here. With Lin SiZheng's ability, we will definitely find the real culprit quickly."

Lin Feng took in Mrs. Wang's expression and reaction and said immediately: "Mrs. Wang, let's sit down and talk. I know very little about Wang Shaoqing's case, so I hope Mrs. Wang can tell me in detail what happened that night."

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly, and after a few people sat down, Mrs. Wang said: "My husband went to bed first that night. Because my husband has been in poor health these days and has been resting alone, so I thought he would also rest alone that night. I stayed a little late with the child, but when I returned to the room, I found that my husband was already lying down. "

"Your husband is not in good health? Is he sick?" Lin Feng asked.

"My husband was infected with wind and cold two days before the accident, and his condition was quite serious. The doctor recommended that he recuperate at home, so he did not go to Dali Temple for duty in those two days," said Mrs. Wang.

Listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind. He said: "Two days before the accident, he was infected with the cold and did not go to Dali Temple. Mrs. Wang also said that he had always lived by himself... …I wonder if he stayed in the room alone without anyone accompanying him during the two days he was recuperating in the mansion?”

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look surprised on her face, and said, "How did Lin Sizheng know? Yes, because my husband is quite ill and he is afraid of passing the cold to us, so he has been resting alone."

Sure enough!

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and his brain was running wildly at this moment.

The contents of the dossier! The real murderer's trap! And...Wang Jian’s behavior of living alone two days before the accident!
All of these are connected in an instant!

I didn’t go to Dali Temple and avoided familiar colleagues!

No one in the house was seen, and the most familiar family members were avoided!
The real murderer froze Wang Jian's body, making it questionable when Wang Jian died.

And now, Wang Jian deliberately disappeared from everyone for two days...

This made Lin Feng unable to stop thinking...

His expression flickered, and suddenly he asked Mrs. Wang: "During the two days when Wang Shaoqing was ill, Mrs. Wang, did you really think you didn't visit him?"

Mrs. Wang said: "My husband knew that I was in poor health and was afraid that I would be infected with the disease, so he specially told me not to go there and just ask my servants to deliver food and medicine to him. I couldn't resist my husband, so I had to agree. "

"call……"

Lin Feng let out a long breath, and his eyes were completely determined: "It's really unexpected..."

He originally thought that the real culprit had only been frozen for a short time, which caused problems in his judgment of Wang Jian's body.

In other words, what he originally thought was the time of Wang Jian's real death was only an hour or two earlier, and it still happened that night!
But now, Lin Feng knew that his guess was wrong!

Why did Wang Jian die on the night of the crime?

If nothing else, Wang Jian might have been in trouble two days before the incident!

Therefore, Zhou Helin’s alibi of the person who was investigating that night can’t be said to be useless, it can only be said to be useless!
After all, the time difference is two full days!

And this also means that if his prediction is correct, Wang Jian, who dared not see anyone for two days, may not be the real Wang Jian anymore!
In other words, the sick Wang Jian is no longer Wang Jian!
So, what about Wang Jian, who slept with Mrs. Wang?
He looked at Mrs. Wang and asked: "Mrs. Wang, when you went to the room that night, did you touch your husband... Was he cold or hot? In other words, do you think he was at that time? Alive?"
