People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 246 A good show that has to be delivered to your door!

"...It is indeed Wang San who was recommended to the master and his wife by the villain. Wang San has a simple temperament and is very hard-working. He never cheats or tricks in his work. He is also strong and not prone to illness. He is most suitable to take care of the master at this time."

Butler Ma Yuan led the way for Lin Feng and explained Wang San's situation to him.

Lin Feng nodded. Ma Yuan's words were no different from Mrs. Wang's. He thought for a moment and said, "Apart from Wang San, are there no other servants in your house who are suitable to take care of Wang Shaoqing?"

Ma Yuan shook his head and said: "That's not true. In addition to Wang San, there are two people who are in a similar situation to Wang San. However, they all had some unfinished tasks at that time, so the villain recommended Wang San."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. Wang San was not the only unique person, but because others had missions, Wang San became the one who must be chosen.

Wang Jian must have been killed and transferred within these two days, but Wang San has never responded... Did Wang San really not find out, or was it for some other reason?
The real murderer's plan was so thorough that Lin Feng didn't think he would ignore the only person who took care of Wang Jian.

So...this Wang San is probably a little special...

While thinking, the housekeeper suddenly stopped.

"Lin SiZheng, we are here."

"Let's go."

However, Lin Feng was not surprised, nor was he anxious because of it. Zhou Helin was a person with rich experience in investigating cases, and he had also solved unsolved cases. Therefore, if Zhou Helin could not judge these things under his own prompts, That's surprising.

"Lin Si, please come this way..."

"Is Magistrate Zhou inside?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes flashed.

"Father, this..." Zhao Shiwu looked at Lin Feng and asked Lin Feng for his opinion.

For example, the bedroom where the crime occurred that night, the room where Wang Jian was alone for two days, and the place where Wang Jian's body was placed.

The housekeeper secretly glanced back at the yamen guard outside, and whispered: "The young man and his wife wanted to come and burn incense and paper for me before, but they didn't allow it. As a result, I lay here for five full days and we couldn't express our condolences to him. "

The housekeeper knew that he and Zhou Helin were now in a competitive relationship, so he deliberately talked about Zhou Helin's inhumanity in front of him to make himself share the same hatred with him. It seemed that they were both on opposite sides of Zhou Helin and had the same direction, so as to gain a better perception of himself. .

Soon, under the leadership of Ma Yuan, Lin Feng came to the main hall of the palace.

The yamen officer cupped his hands and nodded: "Magistrate Zhou specifically gave instructions that even if the sky falls, he cannot be disturbed from investigating the case... So, I hope Lin Temple will understand."

Lin Feng shook his head. He did not make things difficult for the government officials. He thought for a moment and said, "Since County Magistrate Zhou is here, let's go look elsewhere first. We will come back after County Magistrate Zhou has finished asking questions."

Zhao Shiwu took a deep breath, pressed his hands on the heavy coffin board, and immediately his muscles exploded, pushing forward with force——

It was possible to find more clues in these places, so he didn't have to waste time waiting for Zhou Helin. By the time he finished visiting these places, I believe Zhou Helin would have finished asking.

Listening to the butler's voice, Lin Feng took his thoughts back. He looked ahead and saw them stopping in front of a wing in the backyard.

"Eh..." the housekeeper let out a light sigh: "No one was looking at Wang San before. There was only one government servant standing not far away, watching all the doors, and no one was allowed to leave the room. Why is Wang San now? Are there two government servants watching alone outside the room? "

Arriving in front of the coffin, Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Open the coffin."

Ma Yuan said quickly: "Because the case has not been investigated, the master's body has not yet been buried. It is now placed in a temporary mourning hall."

The main hall, usually used to entertain distinguished guests, was now covered with white silk, and a dark red coffin was placed in the center of the main hall.

Lin Feng relied on facial recognition and entered the tightly guarded main hall.

Then a "quacking" sound was heard, and the dark red heavy coffin lid was pushed open little by little.

From this point of view... Zhou Helin should have also judged that Wang Jian's death was not that night, but the two days when he was sick and alone.

No one was watching Wang San before, but now there are two people guarding the door.

Lin Feng said: "County Magistrate Zhou is also afraid that the real culprit will sneak in, destroy the body, and delay the government's investigation. Wang Shaoqing, as the young minister of Dali Temple, believes that under Jiuquan, he will understand you. After the real culprit is found, It’s not too late for you to burn paper and incense for Wang Shaoqing.”

The housekeeper thought that Lin Feng would complain about Zhou Helin with him, but he did not expect that Lin Feng actually agreed with Zhou Helin. He nodded quickly and said, "What Lin Si is saying is that the villain is not thinking carefully."

Lin Feng glanced at the housekeeper and thought to himself: "It's not that you don't think carefully, you just think too carefully."

There are two government officials guarding the door of the main hall, and ordinary people cannot get close to it.

Wang Jian inside the coffin slowly came into view.

When it comes to questioning witnesses, it's a first-come, first-served basis, and they line up according to the rules. Lin Feng is not short of this time, and there are indeed many places he wants to check.

But determining these can only be regarded as the first step in this case. It is still unknown who can reach the end point faster.

But before he reached the door, he was stopped by a government servant: "Lin Si Zheng, Magistrate Zhou is interrogating Wang San in the room. No one is allowed to disturb. Please forgive Lin Si Zheng."

Lin Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Helin's behavior. Of course, if it were him, he would be more humane. He would ensure that Mrs. Wang and the others could not come into contact with Wang Jian's body, and would define an area for them so that they could stay within this area. Burn paper and kneel down.

This butler is really a genius... It's a pity that competition is competition, and Lin Feng has no habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs.

"Ma Guanjia."

"Lead the way."

Lin Feng didn't bother with the yamen's affairs and walked directly to the room: "Go and meet Wang Sanjian."

After saying that, he turned around without any hesitation.

At this time, the door of the wing room was closed tightly, and there were two government officials guarding the outside.

The number of these government officials was actually greater than the number of guards guarding Mrs. Wang.

Lin Feng looked at Ma Yuan and said, "I wonder where your master's body is stored? Take me to see Wang Shaoqing."

In addition to legal principles, there is also love. Lin Feng believes that the law is never cold, and the existence of the law is to make the world warmer.

Lin Feng came to the coffin and looked inward. The first thing he saw was Wang Jian's pale face with obvious corpse spots on it.

In late autumn, the weather was already chilly, so even after five days, the degree of decay of Wang Jian's body was not serious, and it basically remained in the same condition as when he died.

Wang Jian was wearing an undershirt with obvious water stains on it. It seemed that Wang Jian was still wearing the clothes he was wearing when he was found dead that night.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Jian's face and saw that Wang Jian's eyes were bulging forward, his eyeballs were white, his mouth was open, and his expression was obviously distorted and painful.

"The expression was distorted and painful... Was he tortured before his death? Or is it that the real murderer's method of killing made Wang Jian feel the pain."

"Hey...this is..."

Lin Feng suddenly lowered his body and pried off Wang Jian's head with his fingers, allowing him to see Wang Jian's neck clearly.

At this time, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "Wang Jian was strangled to death?"

I saw a very thin strangulation mark on Wang Jian's neck. The strangulation marks were parallel and backward, and finally gathered together. This was an obvious mark of being strangled from the back of the neck.

"What is it that is so thin? A string? But such a thin string is so strong, can it strangle an adult?"

Lin Feng frowned and pondered in his mind: "Besides, Wang Jian's heart was dug out, and the real murderer also wanted to dig out the hearts. Why not just pierce Wang Jian's heart with a knife to kill him? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster like this? From behind? The method of strangulation is far less quick and convenient than killing with a knife. "

"Could it be that the traces were made with a rope after the murder, in an attempt to cover up the true cause of Wang Jian's death?"

Lin Feng thought as he carefully inspected the strangulation marks on Wang Jian's neck. The strangulation marks were very severe, and there were obvious bruises on the flesh nearby. Judging from the condition of the wounds, they did not look like they were caused after death.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng reached out and grabbed Wang Jian's hand. He looked at the nails on Wang Jian's hand and his eyes flashed slightly.

"The nail on the middle finger has signs of bending, and there is a strand of flesh and blood inside the nail. This is consistent with being suddenly strangled by someone, and subconsciously reaching out to grab the rope or something that is strangling the neck... The nail is bent because of this, and he There was a scratch near the strangulation marks, which was also consistent with the flesh and blood in the fingernails.”

"Other death characteristics, such as the bulging eyeballs and the condition of the nasal cavity, are also consistent with the cause of death from suffocation... From this point of view, it seems that he was indeed strangled to death."

Lin Feng confirmed the cause of Wang Jian's death, but became even more confused... He was obviously ready to dig out the heart, and he would stab the heart sooner or later anyway, so why did he still use strangulation to kill someone?

Moreover, during the process of strangling Wang Jian, Wang Jian's hands were obviously not tied and he was obviously capable of resisting. Isn't the real murderer afraid of getting away with it and being escaped by Wang Jian?

"Something's wrong, 11 out of 10 are wrong!"

Lin Feng has always used logical reasoning. He believes that any behavior of anyone has a logic that must be done so.

But there was an obvious logical contradiction between Wang Jian's death and his long-standing conclusion about the real murderer.

This shows that either I have overlooked something, or there is a problem with some of my judgments.

"What exactly is the problem..."

While Lin Feng frowned and thought, he untied Wang Jian's clothes and went to check the wound on Wang Jian's heart.

Sure enough, as the file said, there was an obvious hole in Wang Jian's heart, which could be seen from the front to the back.

There are obvious traces of ironing and sticky marks on the wound.

Wu Zuo cut open a part of the body during the autopsy, allowing Lin Feng to see the thin threads inside that were used to suture the wound.

Looking at the way the thin threads were randomly interspersed, Lin Feng said slowly: "It seems that the real murderer only knows how to use needle and thread, but is not good at it."

The housekeeper couldn't bear to look at Wang Jian. After listening to Lin Feng's words, he stretched out his head and took a look, and then said: "That's better than some people, such as the villain, who doesn't know how to use needle and thread at all."

Lin Feng turned to look at the butler's clothes and said with a smile: "All servants in your palace have uniform clothes. Even if they are worn out, you don't need to sew them up. You naturally don't need to know how to sew and thread."

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, the villain only needs to manage the servants well and serve the master and his wife well. There is really no need to consider other things."

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Wang Jian's body. He found that there were some bruises on Wang Jian's arms, waist, abdomen, legs and feet.

According to the luster of the scar and the condition of the wound, there are signs of "reaction to life", which is consistent with the characteristics of injuries during life.

"Did he fight with someone before his death? Or, when he was strangled by the real murderer, not only his hands were not tied, but his feet were not tied either, so he resisted and bumped into a hard object during the resistance, leaving scars. ?”

Lin Feng's right thumb and index finger subconsciously rubbed each other. This was a subconscious behavior when his brain was running rapidly.

The more information he got from Wang Jian's body, the more strange Lin Feng felt. It wasn't even strange anymore, but contradictory!

There are obvious contradictions with some of the clues he got before!
This made him realize that some clues might not be as simple as what he saw.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and there was an undercurrent surging in his eyes. He suddenly sneered: "You are so cunning. Are you digging holes for us to mislead us?"

"What?" The housekeeper didn't hear Lin Feng's words clearly and couldn't help but speak.

Lin Feng shook his head. He carefully inspected Wang Jian's body again. After making sure that there was nothing missing on the body, he asked Zhao Shiwu to put the coffin lid back on.

He slowly walked out and said, "Housekeeper Ma, take me to the room where your master lived alone when he was ill."

Ma Yuan nodded quickly: "Lin Si is coming this way..."

Not long after, Lin Feng came to a side room in the main room in the backyard.

There is no yamen guard guarding this room, but there is a yamen guard standing guard in the backyard yard. The yamen servant keeps looking at these rooms, so if anyone comes in or out, he will be discovered.

Looking at the location of this room, Lin Feng said: "Butler Ma, the location of this room seems a bit off, right?"

Ma Yuan nodded quickly: "It's a bit biased, but this is to allow the master to rest quietly."

"It's quite quiet. The location is so remote that no other sound can be heard." Lin Feng agreed.

Ma Yuan smiled and opened the door for Lin Feng.

Entering the door, Lin Feng found that although this room was the closest to the side, it was very spacious and the decoration inside was very exquisite. It was obviously not always empty.

He said: "Is this room usually occupied?"

Ma Yuan said: "If any relatives of the master and his wife come to spend the night, they will be arranged in this room."

"I see, this is specially prepared for relatives."

No wonder this room is so well decorated.

Lin Feng looked into the room and found that the room was divided into two rooms: an inner and an outer room. The outer room had tables, stools, cabinets and other furniture, all of which were available.

A bookshelf is leaning against the innermost wall. The bookshelf is filled with various books. On the left side of the bookshelf, there is a blue and white porcelain that is as tall as one person. On the right wall, there are a bow and a sword hanging, giving people a sense of It's a very unique feeling, as if the people living in this room are both civilized and martial.

The other walls in the room are also hung with calligraphy and paintings. The calligraphy is calligraphy by famous writers, and the paintings are landscape paintings.

The room is now very clean, tidy and orderly.

Lin Feng's eyes carefully scanned the outer room, the floor, walls, bookshelves, vases, bows and swords...

He said: "After your master's accident, has no one come in or out of this room?"

The housekeeper nodded quickly: "No one came in or out. Everyone was locked in the room by Magistrate Zhou and couldn't get out at all."

"So this place is always so clean and tidy?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and glanced at the room again, his eyes a little deep.

Then, he stepped into the inner room.

Compared with the gorgeous decoration of the outer room, the inner room seems a bit ordinary.

A relatively large bed, a dressing cabinet next to the bed, and a wooden clothes hanger painted with vermilion lacquer and carved with auspicious cloud patterns that can be used to hang clothes.

The quilt on the bed had been neatly folded and piled on one side. On the dressing table was a food box, and next to the food box was an incense burner in the shape of a lying tiger.

Lin Feng glanced at the neat bed and thought thoughtfully: "The real murderer folded the quilt so neatly before leaving. Is it because he loves to be clean and tidy...or is it for other reasons?"

After thinking about it, Lin Feng grabbed the folded quilt and unfolded it directly.

He carefully inspected the quilt with his eyes.

The housekeeper looked at Lin Feng's strange behavior and couldn't help but said: "Lin Si Zheng, what are you doing?"

Then Lin Feng turned the quilt back and forth, then shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I am used to not letting go of any details when investigating cases, so it sometimes looks strange."

He folded the quilt again and looked at the dressing cabinet again.

Opening the food box on the dressing cabinet, he saw that there were bowls, chopsticks and plates inside. There were still some residues on the plates. Lin Feng said, "Is this the meal you gave Wang Shaoqing?"

The butler nodded: "That's right."

"After so much food has been eaten, you have never thought that the sick Wang Shaoqing can have such a good appetite?" Lin Feng asked with squinted eyes.

The housekeeper quickly said: "None of the meals I sent to you before have been eaten, and this is the only time that they were all eaten... And every time, the owner always asks Wang San to put the food down and wait until the next meal is delivered. The box was taken away, so without hiding it from Lin SiZheng, the villain still found out that the food in the food box had been eaten."

"every time?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "You mean, Wang San gave your master food, but he didn't eat it in front of Wang San himself?"

The butler nodded: "Sometimes the master is feeling unwell and does not want to eat. Sometimes the master is afraid of infecting Wang San and does not allow Wang San to accompany him."

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

He put down the food box, looked at the incense burner aside, and opened the lid of the incense burner. Lin Feng found that there was no incense ash inside. He said, "Do you usually like to use the incense burner?"

Ma Yuan nodded: "Master likes the smell of rosin. He likes to light some when he is reading, doing business or taking a rest."

For the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, carpets and incense burners have almost become standard equipment.

"There is no ashes in the incense burner. Did your master not light it when he was ill, or was it taken away by Wang San?" Lin Feng asked.

Ma Yuan shook his head: "I don't know about this villain. He has never come in since the master moved here."

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He put down the lid of the incense burner, turned around and looked at the inner room again.

Looking at the neat bed in the inner room, looking at the floor without any dust on the ground, looking at the neatly arranged clothes hangers and dressing cabinets, after thinking for a moment, he said: "Let's go to your master's bedroom."

Several people left the room where Wang Jian lived alone and were about to walk towards the bedroom where Wang Jian's body was found. Suddenly, Lin Feng heard someone calling him.

"Lin Simasa! It's not good!"

Lin Feng paused, turned around and saw the gossip master Li Haomiao walking over quickly.

He looked solemn and looked a little bad, and whispered something directly into Lin Feng's ear.

After finishing speaking, he quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Si Zheng, what should I do?"

When Zhao Shiwu and the housekeeper saw this scene, they both looked at Lin Feng with curiosity and confusion. They didn't know what happened, but judging from Li Haomiao's performance, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Seeing Li Haomiao being so solemn and solemn, both of them felt their hearts hang up subconsciously.

But who knows, after hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head very calmly: "Don't worry about him."

"what?"

Li Haomiao was stunned for a moment: "But he said he had..."

"no!"

Lin Feng shook his head directly.

"No?" Li Haomiao looked at Lin Feng blankly.

Lin Feng said: "I said he didn't solve the case. Do you believe him or me?"

Li Haomiao blinked and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by the footsteps of a government servant.

I saw the government servant who had been leading the way for Lin Feng running over quickly. When he came to Lin Feng, he was panting heavily, his face full of happiness and pride, and said: "Lin Si Zheng, Zhou County Let Xiao Linsi go over."

"Let Lin Si pass by? Has County Magistrate Zhou finished questioning Wang San?" the housekeeper asked doubtfully.

Then he saw the yamen servant glance at Lin Feng secretly, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and said: "Asking Wang San for such a trivial matter is not worthy of County Magistrate Zhou specially inviting Lin Sizheng to come over... The reason why Magistrate Zhou asked the villain to come and invite Lin Sizheng." , because...he has solved the case!"

"What!?"

The housekeeper's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of shock and surprise on his face: "Magistrate Zhou has solved the case? Are you saying that he has found the real murderer?"

Zhao Shiwu also looked at the Yamen servant in disbelief.

The officer's chin was raised slightly, with a proud look on his face: "Magistrate Zhou has solved countless unsolved cases, so naturally this case will not trouble him... Yes, he has found the real murderer."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Feng, with the joy of victory in his eyes, and pretended to sigh: "Lin Si Zheng, it's a pity that Zhou County Magistrate Xian Lin Si Zheng solved the case in one step."

Looking at the yamen servant's proud look and recalling the conversation between Lin Feng and Li Haomiao, Zhao Shiwu finally understood what Li Haomiao meant by "it's not good".

Li Haomiao knew in advance that Zhou Helin had solved the case, so he quickly came to inform his adoptive father...

But if I heard correctly, what my adoptive father seemed to have said just now was...no! No case solved!

Zhou Helin said that the case had been solved, but his adoptive father said that he had not...

what on earth is it?

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and Li Haomiao was also staring at Lin Feng. The yamen servant didn't know about the conversation between Lin Feng and Li Haomiao just now, and he also looked at Lin Feng with a proud look on his face.

Then, they saw Lin Feng sighing and shaking his head: "I didn't want to join in the fun, but since Magistrate Zhou has invited me, I can't offend Magistrate Zhou, so I will go there myself." Damn it, I really want to know how County Magistrate Zhou solved the case."

When the yamen servant heard this, he suddenly smiled. This was what he was waiting for. He hurriedly said: "Lin Si is inviting you. Magistrate Zhou is waiting for Lin Si to come."

When Zhao Shiwu saw this, he couldn't help but whisper: "Father, are you really okay?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "Believe me or him?"

"Of course I believe you."

"Then let's go..."

As Lin Feng walked, he said slowly: "This is a good opportunity to understand the real murderer. Next, let's step into the real murderer's perspective... and watch a good show that must be delivered to your door."
