People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 250 The forces behind it surfaced! The real chess field is revealed!
With a seemingly unrelated proposal of marriage, he quietly introduced Zhu He, and made Zhu He willing to conceal everything for the sake of the innocence of the second lady, even if he was wronged, he was unwilling to tell the truth. He had to say, this The real murderer really saw Zhu He's character clearly. I'm afraid he knew Zhu He better than Zhu He himself.

And Zhu He is the guardian of the palace. Unless there are special circumstances related to the mission, he will always stay in the palace.

So, does this mean...the real murderer is actually from the palace?

After all, if you want to understand Zhu Hyuk that well, not enough time is definitely not enough. Even if you are not that familiar with Zhu Hyuk, you must have enough time to silently observe Zhu Hyuk's words and deeds.

Therefore, the probability that the real culprit is someone from the palace is extremely high.

Not to mention that the real culprit knew the situation of the palace's icehouse very well, and had the opportunity to steal the key to the icehouse. It also ensured that Wang Jian fell ill on those two days... It would be difficult for someone other than a member of the palace to do this.

Moreover, he happened to know the secret of Zhu He and the second lady’s closely guarded relationship...

Lin Feng's heart moved. He looked at Zhu He and asked, "Zhu He, you didn't tell anything about you and the second lady. What about the second lady? Has she confided her feelings to anyone?"

Men are mostly rational, while women are more emotional. When it comes to feelings, sometimes if you have been depressed for a long time, you will inevitably have the urge to confide in others.

But Zhu He shook his head directly and said: "The second lady knows very well how much trouble it will cause us once the secret between us is exposed. Before we can think of the best solution, the second lady has the same idea as me. , We must keep this secret, otherwise what awaits us will not be gentle wind and drizzle, but strong wind and thunder."

Then, it is obvious how the real murderer knew.

Lin Feng thought about these two locations. They were indeed hidden enough, and the key scenery was good. They were indeed perfect places for a secret meeting.

After all, if you want to crash into their private meeting, people who are not from the royal palace can't do it.

"Garden? Icehouse stone door?"

When Lin Feng saw this, he understood that Zhou Helin did not want his words to be heard by others, which also meant that there might be something wrong with Jiang He.

Zhou Helin changed his voice and sighed: "It's really very different from him."

"But the situation is different now. It involves a time-sensitive investigation, so I have to make an exception and talk about Jiang He."

Lin Feng asked Zhu He: "Where did you and the second lady have private meetings? Outside the palace? Or inside the palace?"

Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng with a strange look on his face and said, "It is not accurate to say that Jiang He is a playboy. After all, he is not uneducated and incompetent. On the contrary, he was literate at the age of three and wrote poetry at the age of ten. He is already talented before he is twenty. , Even in Chang'an City, where there are many talented people, his talent can still be ranked at the forefront. "

Lin Feng finally understood the reason for Zhou Helin's complicated expression just now. This Jiang He was really a weirdo among young men.

This kind of young master may seem strange to outsiders and worthy of discussion, but to family members, especially the parents who have high hopes for him, they probably hate him with itch.

Sensing the strangeness in Zhou Helin's tone, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Does Magistrate Zhou know about Jiang He?"

And as Zhou Helin said, every time he writes poems and articles, it is all for women... Let's say he is lustful. With his status, there are easier and more convenient ways to make women submit, but let's say he is not lustful. , and he only showed off his talent and knowledge to sleep with women.

"Let's just say he is not a playboy. He studies diligently not to shine on his family, but to win the favor of women."

Hearing this, Zhu He couldn't help but show a hint of shock on his tough face. After all, he was embarrassed to talk about this private meeting with his sweetheart to outsiders, but compared to his own shame, he still cared more about finding out and killing the person who was doing him great good. The real murderer of the master.

Zhou Helin said: "Let's put it this way, since he became an adult, every poem he has written and every article he has written has been for women! He can sleep with girls in brothels without spending money and hide his identity every day. I went to write poems for this girl, and I was able to do it for a month, and finally moved the girl, and the girl gave the money to the brothel, so that he could sleep with him for free. "

Zhu He said: "Sometimes, we will choose the backyard garden, and sometimes we will choose the bamboo forest rockery... which is the entrance to the icehouse stone door, because there are many shelters around these two places. In the dead of night, even if there are people, It’s not easy to spot when passing by.”

They all met privately in the palace, and both of them strictly guarded against revealing this secret. In other words, if the real murderer wants to know how deep the relationship between them is, there is only one possibility... and that is, During their private meeting, they happened to be caught by the real murderer!
Therefore, the real murderer knows the secret that no one knows!
And this secret may originally be of no use, just an emotional entanglement between a pair of crazy men and resentful women. But when the real murderer wants to kill someone and is looking for a scapegoat, even a secret of emotional entanglement is enough to be used by the real murderer!

After becoming an official, the second young lady must have been exposed to the cruelty of this world, so it is reasonable for her to be so cautious. In this case, the second young lady cannot reveal her feelings to outsiders...

Lin Feng glanced at Zhou Helin, and then nodded with a smile: "I understand the character of County Magistrate Zhou, so Magistrate Zhou can rest assured, I promise not to mention this matter to others... Of course, if this matter is important to solving the case, Clues, then this is a credit, it depends on County Magistrate Zhou’s decision whether to take it or not.”

He nodded slightly, moved to one side with Zhou Helin, and then heard Zhou Helin say in a low voice: "Originally, I don't want to say such gossip behind people's backs."

After all, if he was a pure waste, he would have given up long ago. It doesn't matter how he wastes his time. But Jiang He is not a waste. He is full of talents and learning, and he can be ranked at the front in a place like Chang'an City. This is definitely better than most The officials' sons were much stronger. It can be imagined that Jiang Yuan had high hopes for them.

"Unless I have a special mission, I can't leave the palace easily. Therefore, my meetings with the young lady are all in the palace."

"If it's just a dude, that's okay..."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "Dandy?"

Zhou Helin took a deep breath and motioned to Lin Feng to talk in private.

He said: "Jiang He, the third son of Jiang Yuan, the Minister of Rites."

Lin Feng gently rubbed his thumb and index finger, his brain was running rapidly at this moment. He pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder who the man is who comes to propose marriage?"

Zhou Helin took a deep breath and said: "Shilang Jiang of the Ministry of Rites is a good official. He works hard and diligently for the official. I admire him very much, but his son..."

In Lin Feng's opinion, a playboy who is ignorant and has no skills and relies on the power of his father's generation to run rampant and tyrannical is hateful enough. He really can't think of anything more deceptive than this kind of playboy.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Then please trouble Magistrate Zhou to introduce this Jiang He."

Lin Feng: "..."

"Jiang He, the third son of the Minister of Rites? It's him?" Zhou Helin, who had been listening quietly to Lin Feng's questions, suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything more special?"

"Ahem." Zhou Helin coughed and said, "If it is really an important clue, I am not a pedantic person. As long as I can contribute to solving the case, I don't care about external opinions at all."

He is full of talents and knowledge, and his father was a fourth-rank minister of etiquette. If he wants money and power, he can easily make the girls in the brothel obey, but he does not use the money and power his father gave him to force the girls. , on the contrary, you have to use your talents to go whoring for free.

This kind of behavior is indeed inaccurate to describe as a dandy.

To win a woman's favor? Lin Feng was startled.

This is the skill. Even seemingly ordinary things can be used with exquisite precision... But it is precisely because of this that Lin Feng completely confirmed that the real culprit was definitely someone from the palace.

But often, the deeper the love, the heavier the disappointment.

Hearing this question, Zhu He's eyes suddenly showed resentment. It was obvious that he believed that it was the fault of the proposer that he was almost wronged.

No wonder Zhou Helin specifically mentioned that Jiang He and Jiang Yuan are very different...

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "So, Jiang He only loves beauties and nothing else. He is a special playboy. He should not be considered a good match for the second lady, right?"

Zhou Helin said: "It can't be said that he is not a good match at all. First of all, Jiang He never forces women, which is much better than the image of other playboys. Secondly..."

He glanced at Lin Feng and knew that Lin Feng had only been an official for a few months and might not understand some of the ways of the officialdom, and said: "Secondly, the two are a perfect match! If Jiang He can marry Miss Wang Er, it will directly bring Wang Shaoqing and Jiang Shilang closer. With the relationship between them, they will definitely support each other in the future. Once they have further opportunities, they will have more opportunities than other officials of the same level.”

Lin Feng quickly understood what Zhou Helin meant. It didn't matter whether Jiang He's image was good or bad. What was important was that this was a well-matched officialdom marriage. With in-laws as a link, the two forces could be directly united to unite with each other and prepare for subsequent updates. Paving the way further.

Therefore, as long as Wang Jian and Jiang Yuan are not members of completely hostile factions, there will basically be no big twists and turns from the moment Jiang Yuan proposes marriage to Jiang He.

At this time, he couldn't help but recall what Xiao Yu said to him, and couldn't help but think of the Xiao family's complete support for his marriage to Xiao Man'er. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really met an extremely special boss, maybe only Xiao Yu, who could allow his daughter to become a monk at will, would not care about being a good match and whether his son-in-law could bring him official support.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng continued: "However, Jiang He, a person with such a distinctive personality, can he accept any marriage arranged by his family for him?"

Zhou Helin shrugged: "I don't know about this, but as a son of an official, while receiving the glory and wealth bestowed by his fathers, he should have the consciousness to make his due contribution to the rise and fall of the family."

Lin Feng frowned. He felt that what Zhou Helin said was wrong.

Although that is the consciousness that a child of a big family should have, judging from Jiang He's behavior, he is a deviant person. He clearly knows that his parents hope that he will use his talents and knowledge to gain a higher official status and shine on his family, but he only How could he have the consciousness to contribute to the prosperity and decline of his family when he used his talent and knowledge to sleep with women?
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for this marriage proposal.

Or, Jiang Yuan proposed marriage directly without Jiang He's consent.

Or, this was Jiang He's own intention. Jiang Yuan also felt that Wang Jian was someone he could cooperate with, so he agreed.

The two different possibilities represent completely different influences of the real murderer.

The first one means that the real culprit has been able to influence the Minister of Rites, who is the fourth-rank official, but he has already determined that the real culprit is someone from the palace. What does this mean?
It shows that behind the real murderer, there is probably a huge force, and he is working for a certain force!

The second type means that the real murderer has already set his sights on Jiang He and did something to Jiang He that made Jiang He fall in love with Miss Wang Er. Otherwise, with Jiang He's playboy mentality, it would be difficult to suddenly want her. Take a wife.

So... what is the possibility?

Lin Feng's brain was spinning wildly. The more he learned about this case, the more he realized how deep the case was!
He suddenly turned around and quickly came to Zhu He. He asked Zhu He: "When did the Jiang family come to propose marriage?"

Zhu He said: "The day before the master fell ill."

"So close?"

Zhu He nodded: "When the Jiang family came to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage, the master did not agree directly. He told the Jiang family that he wanted to think about it again and said he would agree in a few days... But in fact, the master has already agreed. "Move, he has already found the second lady and told the second lady to get ready to get married."

You didn't agree directly... was it because you didn't want to be too eager and get manipulated by Jiang Yuan?
Lin Feng nodded and signaled Zhu He to continue. Zhu He said: "That's why I was so anxious after learning about this matter. Even if the master is sick, I still want to go to him, because once he recovers, he may respond directly." The Jiang family said that he agreed to the marriage, but if it comes to that moment, it will really be too late. "

The time to propose marriage was just right, and it was stuck on the day before Wang Jian fell ill... Moreover, the real murderer knew Wang Jian's temperament very well. He knew that Wang Jian would be tempted, but he would not agree immediately, which caused Zhu He to be in Wang Jian's heart. During the two days when Jian was ill and living alone, he tried to find a way to see Wang Jian.

"It's really interconnected. If the real murderer didn't know enough about Wang Jian and Zhu He at all, he might make mistakes. But he relied on his understanding of their personalities, human nature and people's hearts to create such a plot. An almost perfect game!”

This case reminded Lin Feng of the life-and-death crisis he faced when traveling through the Tang Dynasty - the Zhao Deshun case!
Could it be that the real culprit in the Zhao Deshun case is not the same?
Taking advantage of the deep relationship between Zhao Deshun and his son, let them take the initiative to take the crime of murder for each other, so that the real murderer can go free?

The human heart and human nature are sometimes a powerful weapon for criminals.

But unfortunately, this can never be changed or changed.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. If he had only suspected that the proposal of marriage might be related to the real murderer before, now it was enough to completely confirm that the two were necessarily related.

So……

Lin Feng looked at Zhu He and continued to ask: "Do you know why the Jiang family suddenly came to propose marriage?"

Zhu He shook his head and sighed: "How could the master tell our servants such a thing?"

"The second lady doesn't know either?"

Zhu He still shook his head: "The master is gentle most of the time, but he is also domineering on some key matters. He only told the second lady to be mentally prepared for marriage, and did not give the second lady a chance to agree or not."

Lin Feng couldn't help but frown. Neither Zhu He nor the second lady knew that Wang Jian was dead. It seemed that they could only ask Mrs. Wang if she knew.

If Mrs. Wang doesn't know, then she can only send someone to Jiang Mansion to inquire.

But it is always inappropriate to ask directly about this kind of thing. I just hope Mrs. Wang can know.

He said to Zhu He: "I already know the general situation of the matter. You can go back and rest first. If there are new problems, I will come back to you."

Zhu He nodded quickly and said: "Lin Sizheng must find the real culprit as soon as possible. The second lady must be very sad when the master is killed. If the real culprit can be found as soon as possible and avenge the master, the second miss can get out of the sadness earlier."

What an infatuated person... Lin Feng nodded slightly: "This is what I have been doing."

After saying that, he nodded to the Yamen servant and motioned to the Yamen servant to take him back.

With Lin Feng's great display of power just now, the government officials' attitude towards Lin Feng was already different from before. Seeing Lin Feng's order now, he did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly came over to take Zhu He away.

Lin Feng thought for a while, then called Zhao Shiwu over directly and said, "Shiwu, go find Mrs. Wang again and ask her if she knows why Minister Jiang suddenly came to propose marriage."

"Why did Minister Jiang suddenly come to propose marriage?" Zhao Shiwu repeated, then nodded: "I'll go right away."

With that said, he trotted away.

Zhou Helin saw Zhu He leaving, and Zhao Shiwu was also ordered by Lin Feng to run away quickly, and couldn't help but said: "Lin Si Zheng, I wonder what you are going to do next?"

Lin Feng heard this and said with a smile: "Of course we will continue to look for clues... It is not enough to expose the real murderer's conspiracy. We must find clues that can confirm the identity of the real murderer."

Seeing that Zhou Helin was hesitant, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said: "What? County Magistrate Zhou was so frustrated by the real murderer that he didn't know how to investigate the case, right?"

How could Zhou Helin admit that his spirit was really going to be drained? He said: "Of course I will not bow to a thief! The more he puts me in trouble, the more I have to dig it out with my own hands. he comes!"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's great... Investigating a case is not something that can be done independently. Although County Magistrate Zhou fell into the trap of the thieves, it helped me to open up more ideas for investigating the case. So I also hope that County Magistrate Zhou can continue the investigation. Maybe there will be times in the future when we will need to cooperate with each other."

Seeing that Lin Feng did not arrogantly laugh at his recent embarrassment, but encouraged himself to continue investigating the case, Zhou Helin could not help but feel more praise and admiration for Lin Feng. He believed that he would never be able to do what Lin Feng did. Breezy.

"I finally understand why so many big people value you..."

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "Lin Sizheng can rest assured that I will not give up the investigation, but as Lin Sizheng said, the investigation is not independent, we should cooperate with each other... So I am willing to put my All the content found in five days was shared with Lin Sizheng.”

As he said that, he looked directly at the table and said: "The detailed information about everyone in the palace on the table is my biggest achievement in the past five days. If Lin Sizheng wants to see it, you can look at it at any time."

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This is really what he needs most!

Now that he has determined that the real culprit is someone from the palace, what he needs most now is to narrow down the suspects from the people in the palace.

To do this, the prerequisite is to understand them well.

But the time I came here was too short after all. So far I had only met Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper and Zhu He. It would take an incredible amount of time to get to know everyone.

But now that we have these information brochures given by Zhou Helin, it's different.

He smiled and said to Zhou Helin: "The gift from County Magistrate Zhou is exactly what I need. I will no longer be polite to County Magistrate Zhou."

Zhou Helin waved his hands: "As long as Lin Si is able to use it."

He took a deep breath and handed over his hand again: "The investigation of the case is important, so I won't waste my time. Lin Si Zheng, I hope that the next time we meet, it will be the moment when the truth of the case really comes to light."

Lin Feng returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "What you wish for is what I wish for."

Zhou Helin nodded solemnly, then turned around and left without further delay.

Looking at Zhou Helin's leaving figure, Lin Feng secretly nodded. Although Zhou Helin had some problems, not everyone can stand up again after death. Not everyone dares to get up and move forward after falling. Yes, from this point of view, Zhou Helin is actually better than many people.

He exhaled slowly, the farce was finally over, but for him, this farce was actually very fruitful.

Not only did he master more important clues about the marriage proposal, he also gained the results of Zhou Helin's five days of investigation.

Looking at it this way, the real beneficiary of the second trap of the real murderer is himself?

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. He looked at the mountain of books on the table and was just thinking about how to screen the suspects when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Father, I'm done asking."

Zhao Fifteen's voice was wheezing.

Lin Feng turned to look at him and heard Zhao Shiwu say: "Mrs. Wang said that Wang Shaoqing told her that Minister Jiang proposed marriage for the purpose of joining forces... But Mrs. Wang learned from the second lady that the second lady did not want to marry. For Jiang He, she sent someone to secretly inquire about Jiang He's thoughts. She found that Jiang He was grounded at home by Jiang Shilang because he resisted the marriage assigned by Jiang Shilang, so she intended to wait for Wang Shaoqing to recover from his illness to discuss the marriage with Wang Shaoqing. ”

All at once!
As Zhao Shiwu's voice fell, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly dilated.

It doesn't matter what Mrs. Wang thought, what matters is that Jiang He resisted!
This shows that Jiang He is not in love with Miss Wang Er at all, and it is not the second possibility he speculated at all!
The leader of this marriage proposal is Jiang Yuan, the Minister of Rites!
In other words, it was my first guess!
The real murderer is not alone at all. Behind him, there is a terrifying force, terrifying enough to influence the marriage decision of the dignified fourth-grade minister!
It even affects when a fourth-grade minister proposes marriage!

He suddenly recalled his judgment before coming!
He believes that the murder of Wang Jian and the coma case of the East Palace Prince are not independent, but are controlled by someone behind the scenes.

Now, it is determined that a powerful force is behind the real murderer.

This idea is becoming more and more possible.

Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his head and look at the dark sky above Chang'an City.

The dark clouds obscured the line of sight, making it impossible to see how many hands were above the dark clouds and how many chess pieces had fallen.

Chang'an City has long become a battleground for many forces.

And he plunged headlong into it... However, it is still unclear whether he is a pawn in the hands of the chess players, or whether he is a new chess player who can find out the true face of the chess players through the case and teach these players to be a new person.

"We still need to investigate the case."

Lin Feng slowly exhaled. He was not afraid of how terrifying the truth behind it was. What he was afraid of was that he was being plotted but didn't know it.

As long as you know...then the final outcome will be fun!
