People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 254 The real culprit of the separation, the strange letter!

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and continued to ask Wang San: "During the two days when you delivered food and medicine to Wang Shaoqing, did you find anything unusual or special?"

Wang San listened to Lin Feng's words, and the wrinkles on his head suddenly wrinkled together. He looked confused and said: "What is Lin Si referring to?"

Pretending not to understand? Is my guidance not clear enough?
Lin Feng said calmly: "For example, when you were delivering food and medicine, did you hear any special sounds, see any silhouettes passing by, or pick up anything special... As long as you are with It can be said that you don’t have to worry about whether it is useful or not, I will judge it myself.”

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang San couldn't help but frown and began to think deeply.

His expression is honest and honest, and when he is thinking, he gives people a sense of racking his brains and seriousness, making people subconsciously feel that he is really trying to think back, without suspecting that he is actually just pretending.

Lin Feng did not rush Wang San. He tapped his fingertips on the table and looked at Wang San with an expectant look on purpose.

After about ten breaths of time, Wang San suddenly raised his head and said, "After Lin Sizheng's reminder, the villain really thought of something."

With a flick of the brush, Lin Feng's fingers that were tapping the table suddenly stopped. He straightened his back instantly, deliberately letting Wang San see his excitement, and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Shiwu also tensed up subconsciously. He quickly turned his head and glanced outside. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he turned his body slightly and pointed his ears at Wang San to avoid missing important content.

So... the unburned paper Wang San mentioned was probably not burned in the charcoal basin at all. The charcoal basin was just an excuse. The unburned paper was the key!

But the result of this judgment made Lin Feng frown.

Therefore, the piece of paper given by Wang San was basically a letter written by the real murderer to Wang San. However, Wang San wanted to hand over the letter written by the real murderer to him so that he could investigate based on it, but he also did not want to let himself know what was in the letter. content, fearing that he would discover his secret... Therefore, he could only burn the important content of the letter, leaving only these few words, so that he could not know the content of the letter based on it, but he could also know the notes of the real murderer.

"From this point of view, there is nothing for reference in the content of the letter... As for the handwriting..."

"But who would have thought..."

"That is to say..." Lin Feng did not give Wang San a chance to continue the performance and asked directly: "The unburned piece of paper is in your hand?"

"Be obedient and don't give in?"

"The master was sleeping at that time. Seeing that the charcoal in the charcoal basin had been burned out, the villain did not disturb the master. He quietly took the charcoal basin outside and poured out the ashes. It happened that at that time, the villain discovered that there was still something in it. Unfinished paper."

"Charcoal basin? No burned paper?"

The words in the second column are: Can I remember back then...

Seeing Lin Feng so excited, Wang San thought that Lin Feng had completely believed his words and believed that it was the clue that the real murderer accidentally left behind. His body relaxed slightly and was no longer tense, but his face still had an honest and honest expression, and his voice Still dull, he said:

Lin Feng had seen the words written by the real murderer... On the wall of the icehouse, there is still the word "moon" left by the real murderer in order to frame Zhu He.

The ice layer on the ground has been scalded into a regular round shape, which exactly matches the situation when the charcoal basin is placed on it.

Wang San's expression was sincere and his tone was sad, full of the impermanence of farewell. It really saddened the listeners and made them cry. Lin Feng almost wanted to shed a few tears in cooperation.

The first column of words is: Be obedient, don’t let...

"has a problem!"

The handwriting is precise, horizontal and vertical, exactly the same as Wang Jian's handwriting!
Lin Feng has already judged that the real murderer imitated Wang Jian's handwriting... and since the real murderer can imitate Wang Jian's handwriting so perfectly, it means that his calligraphy skills are definitely not low!

However, he didn't think that the real murderer would be so careless and leave any traces in the charcoal basin after using it. After all, the real murderer had plenty of time. He also pretended to be Wang Jian for a day, which was enough time to fully deal with all the traces.

Can you remember back then... I'm afraid I'm talking about the things you did back then? Or maybe you remember how you entered the Wang family back then?
Be obedient and don't give in... I'm afraid it's something like "be obedient and don't make things difficult for me".

Wang San kept looking at Zhao Shishi from the corner of his eyes. He took in the reactions of Lin Feng and the two of them. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but the curved corners of his mouth soon calmed down. If Lin Feng hadn't been paying attention to him, , would never know that he just showed a smug smile.

It can only be said that it is clearly distinguishable...

Not surprisingly, the real murderer probably wrote a letter to Wang San. The content of the letter was that he already knew Wang San’s secret. If Wang San still wanted to stay in the Wang family and did not want to be exposed, then he should be obedient...

After thinking about this, Lin Feng said directly: "Do you know where the unburned piece of paper is?"

Wang San's expression quickly became sad, his eyes turned red, and he choked with sobs: "The next few times, I sent food and medicine to the master, but the master always slept there without waking up. The villain can't do it for such a small thing. Wake up the master, so I can only keep it... As a result, the villain never has a chance to give it to the master. "

After listening to Wang San's words, Lin Feng's brain quickly recalled the traces of the charcoal basin found on the icehouse floor.

Wang San raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Lin Feng, and said, "This is the paper."

Lin Feng took the paper and looked at it.

But there was no charcoal basin in the icehouse, and charcoal basins were not uncommon, so he speculated that the charcoal basin used by the real murderer was not brought in from outside. It should be from the palace, or even from the room where Wang Jian lived alone. Charcoal basin.

He now probably knows how the real murderer made Wang San obey.

On the paper, two columns of words without beginning or end could be vaguely discerned.

Lin Feng quickly made a preliminary judgment on the situation of the writer from the handwriting.

But there is nothing beautiful about these carefully written words.

Lin Feng looked at the handwriting on the paper, and saw that the words were not written carelessly. On the contrary, they were written stroke by stroke, and it could be seen that they were written very seriously.

Lin Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw these two columns of endless words.

Wang San's voice was still as if it was muffled in the jar, and he said: "I suddenly remembered that when I was delivering food and medicine to the master the next morning, I found that in the charcoal basin in the room, in addition to charcoal ash, There is also a small piece of unburned paper."

"I can write, but I don't write well, but my attitude is very correct... Some of the words are like those written by beginners, but they are not written by children, because these words are strong enough to penetrate the back of the paper, and children do not have such strength..."

"This was not written by the real murderer!"

It must be said that Wang San spent a lot of time and energy in order to take revenge on the real murderer.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "I have never read a book and am not literate. I saw some words on the paper, but I didn't know what they were written on. I was worried that this piece of paper might be useful to the master, so I wrote it I took it out and thought about asking him what to do with it when I see him next time."

It could be seen that the edges of the paper were burnt black, but the paper did not turn yellow or become brittle, giving Lin Feng the feeling of being turned around in the candlelight. The paper had not experienced smoke, and it was definitely not roasted by charcoal fire. result.

"Do you remember that time?"

Therefore, this word written by a beginner is definitely not written by the real murderer.

But if it wasn’t written by the real murderer, who would have written it?

Lin Feng's brain was spinning crazily. If he wanted to convince Wang San to obey him, the content of this letter would definitely not be subtle. It would have to be very straightforward... This secret could never be hidden from the writer. In other words, the real murderer The writer will definitely know the plan!
So... who is the writer? How can the real murderer be so reassured and ensure that the writer will not do anything bad?
Other members of the real murderer's faction?

Or is it his own henchman?
Lin Feng was thinking as he looked at the handwriting on the paper carefully... These words were written really seriously. Although the writer's calligraphy skills were not high, he was very serious about every horizontal stroke, every vertical stroke, and every stroke. Is it a little too serious to send a letter intended to intimidate others?
Moreover, the handwriting is very obvious, without consecutive strokes. It is so clear that the writer's habits are directly reflected in it. If the court is serious enough to conduct a large-scale search, it may not be found.

In this case, wouldn't other members of the real murderer's force, or the real murderer's own confidants, be in great danger?
Would the real murderer not have expected this?
Even if you find a random child to write it, it will be safer than it is now.

So... something is wrong, still something is wrong.

"And this piece of paper for writing..."

Lin Feng gently rubbed the surface of the paper with his fingers. He only felt that there was obvious frustration in the pads of his fingers. Looking at it, he could see that the surface of the paper was very rough. This meant that the paper was of poor quality and was not the kind of paper that rich people would use. Good rice paper should be the cheapest and inferior product, and is only for those poor scholars who want to study but have no money.

I'm afraid even the servants of a wealthy family don't know where to buy this kind of paper... The real murderer is hiding in the palace, so he probably has no chance to come into contact with such paper, let alone the real murderer has no need to be there. A piece of paper is really just for writing a letter. The quality of the paper doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you take paper from the palace to write on.

After all, the paper in the palace is not only available in the palace, but can be bought on the market. As long as it is paper that can be bought outside, it is impossible to discover the secret of the real murderer based on a piece of paper. So...how did the real murderer get this defective paper, and why did he have to use such defective paper to write the letter instead of simply and conveniently using the palace's paper?

"strangeness……"

Lin Feng only felt that this letter was full of weirdness, and felt that there was a certain contradiction between this letter and the impression the real murderer had given him all along.

"Why is it against the law? What secrets does this letter have?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, let me give you something."

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he quickly asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Feng glanced at Wang San, but did not avoid Wang San. He handed the paper to Zhao Shiwu and said: "Go to Li Sicheng and ask him to arrange a man to deliver this paper as quickly as possible." In the hands of Dr. Sun from the Criminal Department, Dr. Sun will understand my intention without saying anything. "

Lin Feng decided to seek help from professionals on the sidelines for such a matter that required too much culture. Sun Fuga had a deep understanding of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Perhaps he could discern more information.

Zhao Shiwu naturally had no objection to Lin Feng's words. He took the paper and said directly: "I'll do it right now."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out quickly.

Lin Feng let out a breath. He was waiting for Sun Fujia's answer to Xin's question. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng looked at Wang San again and saw that Wang San had lowered his head again, his expression still extremely sad, as if he didn't care at all about the conversation between him and Zhao Shiwu, but his slightly moving ears betrayed that Wang San was seriously stealing. Listen to the facts.

"This letter is likely to be of great help in finding the real murderer. Wang San, you are likely to make great contributions."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang San raised his head. There was no joy at all on his honest face. He just sighed: "I don't care if I have done some meritorious service. As long as I can find the real murderer of my master as soon as possible, I can avenge my master as soon as possible." , the villain is satisfied.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly and praised: "You are really loyal to Wang Shaoqing. I believe Wang Shaoqing will be very pleased to hear your words."

Wang San nodded silently.

Lin Feng continued: "Besides these, do you have any other discoveries?"

Wang San did not hesitate this time and shook his head directly: "No more... I actually didn't see much of the master in the past two days. Every time I went to deliver food, I left in a hurry and came back in a hurry. I really didn't find much. ”

It seems that Wang San only knows this... Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's it for now. You go back and rest first. If I have any questions to ask you, I will ask someone to call you again."

Wang San had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. The pressure on Lin Feng was so great that he did not dare to relax at all in front of Lin Feng, and the sweat in his palms never disappeared. Hearing this, Wang San naturally wanted to disappear from Lin Feng.

"Then the villain will go back and continue kowtowing to the master. If Lin Sizheng has any questions, just ask someone to ask the villain. The villain will never hide anything."

After saying that, he saluted Lin Feng again, then turned and left.

Lin Feng stood at the door, looking at Wang San's leaving figure, his eyes flashing slightly.

From Wang San, he gained a lot. He not only determined the specific time of the crime, but also obtained the letter from the real murderer. Although the secret of the letter has not been solved for the time being, he had a hunch that this letter would definitely be used at the critical moment. Play a big role.

These gains are basically consistent with his judgment of Wang San. Wang San is indeed temporarily standing by him and trying his best to help him find the real murderer.

But there was one thing he still didn't make any progress on...that was Wang San's identity.

Why did Wang San deliberately pretend to be stupid and hide in the palace?

Did he want to hide in the palace on his own initiative, or did he follow other people's orders and hide here?
If you obey the orders of others, who is this other person? What's the purpose?
Was Wang Jian's fall from his horse five years ago an accident, or was it rigged to allow Wang San to enter the palace?
Just like the real murderer who is covered in mist, the mist surrounding Wang San in front of me is probably not much less than that of the real murderer...

But now is not the time to get to the bottom of Wang San, so if you want to solve the mystery of Wang San, you can only do it after you find out the real culprit.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his interest in Wang San. He had to solve the mysteries one by one and eat his food one bite at a time. There was no rush.

The bedroom has been thoroughly investigated, and the real murderer did very little here and left no more clues, so Lin Feng stopped wasting time and followed Wang San and left the bedroom.

He walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door. He then raised his hands to the government servant standing by and said, "Thank you very much."

The yamen servant quickly said: "This is what young people should do. Lin Sizheng must not say that."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I have one more thing to trouble you next."

"Lin Si, please speak."

Lin Feng looked at him and said with a smile: "Please go find Magistrate Zhou and Li Sicheng and tell them not to waste time investigating those two days. Let them only investigate what happened on the first night when Wang Shaoqing fell ill." Whatever you want.”

"This..." The officer was a little confused.

Then Lin Feng said slowly: "Tell them that I have found out the real time of Wang Shaoqing's death, which was the first night when Wang Shaoqing fell ill! Therefore, we only need to check this night to narrow down the scope of suspects." ”

brush!
The yamen officer's eyes widened in an instant. He looked at Lin Feng in shock, his whole head buzzing: "Lin Si Zheng, you...you found out the specific time of the crime so quickly?"

Lin Feng faced the yamen servant's shocked look and nodded with a smile: "I have better luck."

Of course the yamen officer knew that Lin Feng was being modest, but it was too fast. It was obvious that Magistrate Zhou had been embarrassed not long ago... Ahem, when Magistrate Zhou reasoned, Lin Sizheng didn't know the specific time of the crime at all. How long had it been? Ah, I knew it right away.

Did you know it from Wang San?

But County Magistrate Zhou has asked Wang San countless times. Why doesn’t Magistrate Zhou know anything?
At this moment, the officer once again had an intuitive understanding of the gap between Lin Feng and Zhou Helin.

He did not dare to delay such an important matter, and hurriedly said, "I will go and inform County Magistrate Zhou and Li Sicheng right away."

After saying that, he ran out and almost bumped into Zhao Shiwu who was returning.

Zhao Shiwu looked at the government servant who was running away in a hurry, and couldn't help but said: "Father, what's wrong with him?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's nothing. I asked him to tell County Magistrate Zhou the specific time of the incident so that Magistrate Zhou would not waste time on useless things."

"What?" Zhao Shishi was surprised: "Father, why did you tell Magistrate Zhou? This is obviously a clue that you found out with great difficulty. When Zhou Helin had clues, he always hid them from you. , I have never been so generous to you.”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Fifteen, do you think I have more clues now, or does County Magistrate Zhou have more clues?"

"It goes without saying that of course the adoptive father has many clues, and the adoptive father also has the paper that Wang San gave to the adoptive father. This is the real murderer, and it is a clue directly pointing to the real murderer. County Magistrate Zhou does not have it. "

Lin Feng smiled and said: "So, now I have more clues, and I am closer to the truth... County Magistrate Zhou didn't open Wang San's mouth, which means that he has fallen behind in all aspects, and basically has not defeated me. It’s a chance. In that case, what’s the point of me sharing the time of the incident with him?”

"He will not surpass me just because of the clue of the time of the crime. Instead, he will be grateful to me because of this incident. In the current turbulent situation in Chang'an, the gratitude and goodwill of a fifth-grade Chang'an County Magistrate will be of no benefit to me. Not to mention that the actions of the Four Elephants Organization are about to begin, and various forces have no good intentions. I am afraid that the real crisis is about to sweep across Chang'an. At this time, I naturally need to seize every opportunity to improve my chances of winning... Therefore, I believe Rather than just paying for a clue, why wouldn't I do it?"

Zhao Fifteen couldn't help but open his mouth and blinked after listening to Lin Feng's words.

He knew how dangerous Chang'an would be in the future, and he also knew how chaotic Chang'an would be in the future. He could even predict what kind of moment it would be full of open guns and secret arrows, but surprisingly, he didn't have any thoughts at this moment. He was so nervous and anxious because Lin Feng really made him feel so safe!
After all, who would have thought that everyone's eyes are still on the case, everyone is still limited in their thinking by the case, and the attention of all parties is here, but the adoptive father has already jumped out of the case and has begun to prepare for the case. The rebellion in Chang'an was planned.

There were countless exciting words swirling in his mind, and finally they condensed into four words: "My foster father is brilliant."

"It's not clever, it's just following the trend..."

Lin Feng waved his hand casually, walked forward with a smile, and said: "Let's go to the next place. I just made an excuse to dismiss the housekeeper. We have to go and make up for this excuse... Just in time, I want to confirm it too. some things."
