People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 251 New discovery! An accident five years ago! Coincidence or necessity?

Lin Feng took a long breath, calmed down his surging thoughts, and calmed down.

Although the real situation of the real culprit has been uncovered and his suspicions have been confirmed, but if he wants to confront the big bosses behind the scenes, he must first find them and confirm their identities, otherwise it will be impossible. It's different from punching blindly.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is still solving the case!
First find out the real culprit, take off their important chess piece, and then find clues about the forces or people behind the scenes from the real culprit and the Minister of Rites, Jiang Yuan, and then determine their identity!

So...how to find out the real culprit?
Lin Feng looked at the mountain of books on the table. This was the result of Zhou Helin's five days of hard work. It would definitely be helpful in finding out the real murderer hiding in the palace, but now there is a problem... there are too many people in the palace.

From the master to the servant, there are hundreds of people.

Although it saves enough time compared to investigating one by one, it still takes a lot of time to read through it alone, and what I lack most now is time.

"Since Mr. Xiao has asked your Majesty to give me an imperial edict to investigate the case, it means that your Majesty must take action to solve the corruption and bribery of those officials. In other words... His Majesty will probably leave the East Palace soon, and His Majesty will not be in the East Palace in person If you keep an eye on it, you will definitely consider asking someone to investigate the case of the prince’s coma... I don’t have much time.”

Lin Feng's brain was spinning: "So, I can't cast a wide net, I have to narrow the scope first... Fortunately, the investigation just now has a direction!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Haomiao, who was standing quietly aside, and said, "Li Sicheng, how is your investigation going?"

"After identifying these people, you then ask them specifically what they did during the two days when Wang Shaoqing was ill and living alone, and then ask them whether they have alibi on the night Wang Shaoqing was found dead, and cross-confirm them with other people. Is there any problem?"

"Yes!"

"okay."

When Li Haomiao saw that Lin Feng didn't blame him, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly said: "Lin Si is just following his instructions."

As long as Li Haomiao can find out who has been in and out of the palace in the past eight days, and who has been in and out multiple times and brought things in, he can directly narrow down the scope.

The real murderer must have left the palace before Wang Jian's body was discovered by Mrs. Wang, before the palace was sealed, and after he dug out his heart!
And this time, there is not much time.

Zhao Shiwu asked: "For example?"

Zhao Shiwu scratched his head honestly.

He didn't find any traces of tools in the icehouse. Zhou Helin couldn't say that he searched the palace to the ground in the past five days, at least he dug three feet into the ground, but Zhou Helin found nothing!

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. He turned around and walked while saying, "Although we have made some progress and direction in this case, we are still far from finding the real culprit."

Where has that heart gone?

In other words, this node of half a month is still valid!
But these half months count forward from today. From the time Wang Jian lived alone, the real murderer's murder plan had already begun. Before that, the real murderer must have been fully prepared, so those two days can be excluded, and the case happened Five days have passed since then, and these five days can be eliminated.

After getting the scope narrowed twice, and then checking their specific information book, time can be completely controlled.

Although Wang Jian did not die in the icehouse, it is not easy to dig out the heart, and it is difficult to cut ice without suitable tools. Therefore, it is speculated that the real murderer would smuggle the tools from outside into the icehouse before taking action. It can still be used.

Li Haomiao blinked. He didn't know how Lin Feng got those eight days, but it didn't stop him from understanding how simple this task was compared to the previous tasks.

That is to say...

Li Haomiao hurriedly remembered Lin Feng's request and nodded again: "I understand!"

At that time, targeted inquiries and investigations will be conducted on them, which will surely narrow the scope again, significantly reduce the workload and save time.

Wang Jian's heart was stolen by the real murderer, but Wang Jian's lost heart was not found in the palace.

As Lin Feng walked towards Wang Jian and Mrs. Wang's bedroom, he said to Zhao Shiwu: "Go and bring Wang San to the bedroom for me. I don't have much time, so I will do both things at once."

Li Haomiao hurriedly said: "Lin Si, please speak."

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Li Haomiao, and continued: "And...Li Sicheng, you have one more thing to investigate."

Zhao Shiwu looked at Li Haomiao's leaving figure and couldn't help but said: "Father, what should we do next?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Li Sicheng, next you go and investigate within half a month... No, it is eight days from when Wang Shaoqing fell ill and lived alone. During these eight days, who frequently came in and out of the palace, and every day Every time I come back from the outside, I always bring something with me and don’t come back empty-handed.”

What does this mean?
"After digging out the heart, the real murderer took all the tools out of the palace... At the same time..."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "What? Let other people do the things you are afraid of, and we are just idle and bored?"

Lin Feng understood how complicated and difficult his task was. He did not blame Li Haomiao and said: "I understand your difficulty. You can put it aside for the time being. I will give you a new task. This task should be easier." ”

He nodded quickly, patted his heart and said, "This is easy. Lin Si is rest assured that the official will investigate these clearly in the shortest possible time."

Li Haomiao said with some shame: "After all, the time is still short. We have a limited number of people. We cannot fully investigate the whereabouts of all of them in the past two days. Moreover, Lin Sizheng asked us to cross-identify, which will take some time."

Zhao Shiwu was most afraid of being idle. As soon as he heard that there was a task, he immediately nodded: "I'll do it now, kid."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He used the clue that the real murderer brought the tools in. So... what happens after the real murderer digs out the heart?

Zhao Shiwu scratched his head again embarrassedly.

Lin Feng nodded and said: "Li Sicheng, let's do it. If you get the result, let me know as soon as possible."

Compared with casting a wide net, this method is naturally more efficient.

Therefore, there are only eight days left in half a month!

Li Haomiao did not dare to delay, saluted and said yes, then quickly turned and left.

Lin Feng smiled: "Continue to investigate the people and things that we have not finished before. We have not yet met Wang San who delivered medicine and food to Wang Shaoqing. We have not yet investigated the bedroom on the night of the crime. We have just learned a new key. Second lady, if necessary, we need to meet her. Look... we want to have some time, but do we have time? "

"So, our task is not easy either."

Lin Feng said: "You also need to ask them among the people selected in those eight days, whether any of them left during the two days and nights from when Wang Shaoqing fell ill and lived alone to when Mrs. Wang found Wang Shaoqing's body. Wangfu, did you bring anything with you when you left? If so...then conduct further targeted inquiries on these people."

There is no doubt that he was taken out by the real murderer.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he slowly rubbed his thumb and index finger with both hands: "Where is Wang Jian's lost heart?"

After saying that, he turned around quickly and ran away.

Looking at Zhao Shiwu's running back, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

The butler who had been standing far away now saw that there was no one around Lin Feng, so he came over sensibly. When he saw Lin Feng looking at Zhao Shiwu with a smile, his heart moved and he said, "Lin Temple has a very outstanding subordinate."

Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at the butler and said with a smile, "Wang Shaoqing also has an excellent butler."

Ma Yuan hurriedly said: "Lin Temple is full of praise."

Lin Feng smiled, ended the greetings, and continued walking, asking as he walked: "What kind of person does Butler Ma think Zhu He is?"

"Juhyuk?"

When the housekeeper heard Lin Feng's words, he frowned and looked obviously unhappy, saying: "Before, I thought that Zhu He was diligent and down-to-earth, strong and not bad at martial arts, and he was a good guard at the hospital... But there are Even though Lin Sizheng finally confirmed that he was wronged, he knew that the real culprit was not him, but he did not tell the truth, which almost allowed the real culprit to succeed and let the real culprit escape. It will be difficult for villains to appreciate him anymore. Julin Sizheng may feel cold-blooded.”

The housekeeper glanced at Lin Feng cautiously and said, "After this matter is over, the villain will suggest to Madam that Zhu He be expelled from the Wang family."

Lin Feng was not surprised by the butler's words. After all, when a wealthy family looks for servants, the first priority is loyalty. As a result, even the master died, and you, the nurse, refused to tell the truth and almost let the real murderer go free. What kind of loyalty do you have? Since you are not loyal, what is the use of keeping you?

"The fact that you can speak your mind means that you are sincere enough. I don't think you are cold-blooded."

Lin Feng reassured the housekeeper and continued: "But I don't care what you think of him in the future. I want to know, before this incident, did you think Zhu He was a trustworthy person?"

"Before this matter..." the housekeeper thought for a while, then nodded: "He has indeed not made any mistakes, nor has he played any tricks. Even if he is asked to guard the door all night, he will not doze off. He is indeed a worthy person. Trusted nursing home.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly. When the housekeeper was so dissatisfied with Zhu He, he could still give such a comment. This was enough to prove that Zhu He was indeed an honest person and there should be no problem with his words.

However, just in case, Lin Feng was still preparing to meet with Miss Wang Er. He had to ensure that there would be no accidents in any aspect.

Otherwise, if the enemy is extremely cunning and cautious and is misled by others, then there is really no hope.

During the conversation, the two stopped.

Looking up, they saw that they had returned to the backyard and arrived at a room in the center of the backyard. This room was the bedroom of Wang Jian and Mrs. Wang. At this moment, there were two government officials guarding the door.

When the two government officials saw Lin Feng, they quickly saluted Lin Feng without the need for Lin Feng to speak.

The attitude is simply two extremes from before.

"Lin Templezheng."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Can I go in?"

"Of course you can. Magistrate Zhou has already ordered that as long as Lin Si wants to go where he wants to go, no one is allowed to stop him."

With that said, they took the initiative to open the door for Lin Feng.

It seems that there is another gain from the farce just now, that is, Zhou Helin's hostility towards me has been reduced a lot, and it is easier to investigate the case... Lin Feng smiled and handed over his hand: "Thank you very much."

With that said, he and the housekeeper entered the bedroom.

The bedroom faces north and south, and is nearly twice the size of the guest room they went to before.

It is still the layout of two rooms inside and outside.

But the furniture decoration is more life-like and emotional than the guest room.

There are no swords or bows on the walls. Some are strictly written calligraphy and some are embroidered lotus flowers.

Lin Feng knew that the calligraphy must be Wang Jian's without the help of the housekeeper. It was so precise and straight that it was difficult to recognize it.

As for the embroidery, no surprise, it must have been embroidered by Mrs. Wang herself. The decorations on the walls of this room are all Wang Jian and his wife's own things.

Close to the wall, there are several cabinets and a shelf next to the cabinets.

On the shelf, there are some ornaments, including a jade cat that is yawning lazily, a stone tiger that looks proudly at the mountains and forests with its teeth and claws, porcelain plates with interlaced colors, and birds made of woven bamboo strips.

Seeing Lin Feng looking at the objects on the shelf, the housekeeper took the initiative to introduce: "These things are small gifts that the master and his wife have given each other over the years. If they encounter interesting things outside and think that the other party may like them, they will bring them back. These things may not be expensive when given to each other, but they are all about their feelings for each other.”

Lin Feng looked at the shelves full of interesting objects and said, "So, your husband and wife have a good relationship?"

The housekeeper nodded heavily: "Before we got married, the master and his wife were childhood sweethearts. After they got married, they were even more affectionate. Their relationship was seen by all the servants in our palace, so the master's death must have made the madam the most sad. Sad."

Lin Feng nodded.

Childhood sweethearts, growing up and loving each other... Looking at these items, they are indeed carefully selected.

From this point of view, Mrs. Wang indeed had no reason to harm Wang Jian.

Then you can rest assured about her words.

Lin Feng thought about it and looked around. He didn't find anything unusual and said, "Go to the inner room."

The housekeeper quickly stepped forward and opened the door to the inner room.

Just as Lin Feng was about to go in, he heard a knock on the door: "Father, Wang San, bring me here."

Lin Feng paused and said directly: "Come in."

Then there was a creaking sound, the door was opened, and Zhao Shiwu walked in with a man in his mid-twenties.

As soon as this man entered, Lin Feng couldn't help but be startled.

Because this man looks... so honest and honest.

It's not that Wang San is ugly, but that face, that expression, the wrinkles on his head, and those droopy little eyes give people the impression that he is an honest person.

Although Lin Feng knew that people should not be judged by their appearance, but Wang San... was really too impressive.

Why didn't he notice this honest face when he was watching a play in the front yard just now?
The housekeeper seemed to know what Lin Feng was thinking, and he whispered: "Wang San said that the master is his reborn parent, so he died and he wanted to keep his mourning for the master. However, County Magistrate Zhou did not allow anyone to get close to the master's body, so he I made a simple memorial tablet for the master in my room and kept kneeling there. I would not leave there unless I was forced to take him away for questioning.”

"The villain didn't notice Wang San just now. It seems that Wang San was stubborn and didn't want to leave. County Magistrate Zhou also felt that it didn't matter if Wang San didn't leave, so he didn't let him go."

Rebirth parents? Did you make a memorial tablet yourself to observe mourning? Still stubborn and unwilling to leave?

Lin Feng listened to the butler's words and looked at Wang San's eyes again, and couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

If Wang Jian is really regarded as his reborn parent, then Zhou Helin won’t witness it in person at such an important moment when he reveals the truth and finds the real murderer?
Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
Lin Feng looked at Wang San carefully and saw that Wang San's body was about seven feet tall and his back was slightly stooped. At this time, his eyes were red and his face was full of sorrow. He looked really sad.

"Wang San."

Lin Feng spoke slowly: "Do you want to know who the real murderer of your master is?"

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang San, who had been lowering his head, raised his head. He tried his best to widen his small eyes, and the tattoos on his forehead became more numerous at this moment: "Who is it!? Who killed the master!"

His voice was very muffled, as if it was trapped in a jar the moment it came out. It was very unclear. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying at all.

But the anger in his tone was still obvious.

Lin Feng couldn't help but be even more surprised. To be honest, the words of this third king were very bad. When a wealthy family chooses servants, not to mention how high the requirements are, they should at least be articulate, well-spoken, and easy to communicate with.

But if you don't listen carefully to Wang San's message, you won't be able to hear it clearly at all.

Communication can be a problem.

How could the Wang family have such a servant?
He glanced at the butler.

The housekeeper immediately understood and explained in a low voice: "Five years ago, the master encountered an accident, and Wang San saved the master. Later, the master saw that Wang San was very poor and had to support his elderly parents. His life was not as good as that of livestock, so He brought Wang San to the palace... Although Wang San is not very articulate, he is obedient, loyal, conscientious and kind. When others ask him for help, he will help without reservation, so everyone is full of goodwill towards him. "

five years ago……

Lin Feng's back straightened subconsciously as he listened to the butler's words.

He is really a little sensitive about this time.

After all, his predecessor, Lin Feng, the former prime minister of Dali Temple who had escaped from death again, was Kuisu Xingjun of the Four Symbols Organization. He joined the Dali Temple in the first year of Zhenguan five years ago and started the plan of the Four Symbols Organization.

He said: "I wonder what accident your master encountered five years ago?"

The housekeeper looked at Lin Feng and said: "While riding on a rugged mountain road, the master accidentally fell off the horse and fell into the forest at a certain height. Because of the lush trees, it was difficult for us to find the master quickly. Wang San happened to be there. Shi went into the mountain to collect firewood and found the unconscious master, and finally rescued him. "

"Falled from horse..."

Lin Feng frowned. Officials in the early Tang Dynasty had all experienced that turbulent era, so whether they were military officers or civilian officials, they were all capable of riding horses and wielding swords. They would not fall off their horses.

He said: "I wonder why your master fell from his horse at that time?"

The butler did not reply immediately this time. Instead, he thought about it for a while and then said: "It seems that the horse the master was riding suddenly went crazy for some reason, and the master was thrown down without checking."

Horses going crazy?

Why do good horses go crazy?

"Have you found out the reason why the horse went crazy?" Lin Feng asked.

The housekeeper shook his head: "The horse threw the master off and ran away. When we found the horse again, we found that it had been dead for a long time. At that time, the master was still serving in the Yushitai and was investigating the case of a governor who was derelict in his duties and was a slave to the common people. I had to return to Chang'an to report to His Majesty about the case, so I didn't waste time investigating the horse matter and returned to Chang'an directly. "

Therefore, this has become an unsolved mystery... In the end, I don't know why the horses went crazy...

And just because the horse went crazy, Wang San, who had no chance to appear in the palace at all, entered the palace...

Coincidence?
Or is it inevitable?
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then looked at Wang San again. He suddenly raised his voice and said with serious eyes: "Since you are so loyal to Wang Shaoqing, since you want to know who the real murderer is, and since you are so angry at the real murderer...then Wang Third, tell me, why didn’t you go when Magistrate Zhou called everyone together and said he wanted to find out the real murderer?”
