People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 255 Cracked! The deepest secret! finally found you!
Lin Feng met Second Miss Wang outside Miss Wang's boudoir.

After all, a woman's boudoir is special, and Lin Feng now has a sweetheart. He doesn't want to cause some criticism for himself, so he directly calls Miss Wang out of the room to communicate in public.

Only when he really met Miss Wang Er did Lin Feng understand why Zhu He was so devoted to Miss Wang Er. He would rather be unjustly killed than let Miss Wang Er suffer gossip... Miss Wang Er was really too gentle, even if it was because of her father. The sad and sad crying after death gives people a feeling of gentleness and gentleness, just like the gentle breeze blowing the lotus slowly. I feel pity for it, so gentle and kind, it is really a dimension reduction for a straight martial artist like Zhu He. blow.

Lin Feng glanced at the butler standing aside. Without him having to say anything, the butler's professionalism quickly prompted the butler to speak on his own initiative: "Lin Sizheng, please talk to the second lady slowly. My legs and feet are not very good. I ran away for such a short time." I won’t be able to stand for a while, so I’ll go to the front and be lazy, and I’ll come over after Lin Sizheng has finished chatting with the second lady.”

Lin Feng was very satisfied with the steward's understanding. He nodded and said, "Steward Ma is running around with me. It's really hard for the housekeeper. You can go and rest first. I will call you if anything happens."

Ma Yuan nodded repeatedly: "As long as I can help Lin Sizheng investigate the case, this little hard work is nothing. Then Lin Sizheng is chatting with the second lady. I will go and rest first."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation, and sat down on a rock not far away.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, looked at the Second Miss again, lowered his tone, and tried to make his tone as gentle as possible, and said: "Second Miss, let's talk?"

Miss Wang Er nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "I wonder what Lin Si wants to talk about?"

"Let's talk about you and Zhu He." Lin Feng got straight to the point.

Listening to the words of Second Miss Wang, Lin Feng said: "Second Miss Huizhi Lanxin, she should be very popular, right? Before this, no one else came to marry her?"

The reason why Wang Jian agreed to Jiang Yuan's proposal of marriage was not because of a strong alliance, but because... he was forced to agree?

Why did Miss Wang let Zhu He board the carriage and take care of Zhu He personally when Zhu He fell ill... It was because at that time, Miss Wang had already fallen in love with Zhu He. Otherwise, no matter how kind-hearted Miss Wang was, she would not It's not like taking care of a sick servant personally as a young lady, finding a doctor for the servant, and arranging a carriage for him are enough to make the servant grateful.

It stands to reason that when Wang Jian agreed to Jiang Yuan's proposal of marriage, it was a strong alliance. From now on, they would take care of each other and be safer in the officialdom. How could he be in a bad mood?
Could it be...that I thought wrong?

With that said, Miss Wang Er bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Jiao'er thanked Lin Si Zheng on behalf of Brother Zhu. Without Lin Si Zheng, we might have been criticized by everyone now."

When Miss Wang Er heard the word Zhu He, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on her delicate face. It seemed that she did not expect that Lin Feng would know the secret between herself and Zhu He.

Seeing Miss Wang's sincere expression, Lin Feng gave her a little support and said, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite. It is my duty to rehabilitate the innocent. I just want to hear the second lady tell you in detail." What happened between you and me, and what happened to you in the two days after your father’s accident.”

Of course, these are not important. What is important is what happened in the days when the crime occurred.

It's almost the same as what Zhu He said. The only difference is that Miss Wang Er actually liked Zhu He earlier than Zhu He liked Miss Wang Er.

And why I like Zhu He is because it is a very common plot of a hero saving a beauty. Once Miss Wang Er was in danger, Zhu Hyuk, who was a nurse, stepped forward and protected Miss Wang. From then on, this tall and thick man He captured the heart of the girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

"housekeeper?"

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Miss Wang pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid of being known by others. I identify with Brother Zhu and don't care about other people's opinions. It's Brother Zhu who doesn't want to let others know." I was hurt, and he made me swear that I would not tell anyone about us until he could think of a perfect solution, otherwise he would rather end our relationship than see me face rumors. "

She thought for a while and continued: "But I remember that my father was not in a good mood at the time. He was a little irritable, so much so that he never smiled from beginning to end."

This is not to say that Wang Jian is cold-blooded, but it is a common practice in official circles that the in-laws of his children never consider happiness, but the combination of interests.

And if we can understand Wang Jian's predicament, we may be able to understand what methods Jiang Yuan used, and then deduce the forces behind the real murderer and how they influenced Jiang Yuan, and then reversely find out the forces behind the real murderer.

"I think what the housekeeper said is right. This is really not a good time, so I thought that I would wait for my father to recover and then go find him as soon as possible, but I didn't expect..."

Lin Feng was not surprised. From the fact that Miss Wang was still expecting Wang Jian to allow her and Zhu He's relationship, it could be seen that Miss Wang was really well protected by Wang Jian, and she was far less understanding of the nature of this world than Xiao Man'er.

"It's just that before I could see my father, I was stopped by the housekeeper. The housekeeper said that the father was not feeling well and must be in a bad mood. If I go to my father to object to the marriage at this time, the effect will only be worse. Not only will my father not agree to my , but it will strengthen my determination to get married."

When Miss Wang Er mentioned the matter of proposing marriage, she frowned tightly, which made me feel pity for her even more. She said: "Speaking of which, I am also a little panicked. This kind of thing tells me What use can Brother Zhu have? As a result, Lin Sizheng also saw that Brother Zhu not only failed to help, but almost caused Brother Zhu to suffer injustice. "

Could it be that Jiang Yuan had the handle on Wang Jian and forced Wang Jian to agree?

Miss Wang Er shook her head: "I don't know about that. My father never talks to us about officialdom."

When Lin Feng heard this, he turned his eyes and looked at the housekeeper who was sitting on a stone and tapping his leg. He said, "Does the housekeeper know that you are against this marriage?"

Miss Wang Er nodded slightly, her voice was soft, and she said: "In fact, after Brother Zhu failed, I also wanted to see my father again. I wanted to beg my father in person. In my father's eyes, Brother Zhu was just a servant. , Brother Zhu’s plea is far less useful than mine.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He looked away and continued: "The second young lady... I wonder if you have told anyone else about you and Zhu He?"

"...I didn't know anything about the marriage proposal before. My father suddenly found me and told me to get ready to get married. This caught me off guard and I didn't know what to do, so I hurriedly I told Brother Zhu about this..."

Lin Feng looked at Miss Wang's reaction and said: "Don't worry, Miss Wang, the secrets between you are only known to me and Magistrate Zhou, no one else knows, and we know these in order to find out about your father's death." I have no intention of interfering with your relationship, you can rest assured."

Lin Feng did not follow Miss Wang's words to evaluate Wang Jian's quality. He continued his inquiry: "Did your father explain to you why he had to let you marry Jiang He instead of the son of another official?"

Miss Wang Er couldn't help crying. Even if she complained about her father for forcing her to marry, she still felt heart-wrenching pain over her father's death: "I will never have a chance again."

Miss Wang Er frowned and shook her head: "Father didn't say it, but..."

"When Magistrate Zhou arrested Brother Zhu before, I actually wanted to stand up and explain everything, but Brother Zhu stared at me. I understood what he meant. He didn't want me to come out, and he didn't want me to be the center of rumors... At that time I am really suffering, and I have made a decision. Even if I become the laughing stock of everyone in the future, I will never really let Brother Zhu die for me. But before I have time to stand up, Lin Sizheng, you are going to die for me. Brother Zhu has been rehabilitated.”

When speaking these words, Miss Wang Er couldn't hide her sadness and disappointment in her tone. It was obvious that she could not accept that her gentle and loving father in the past would suddenly ignore her happiness and thoughts.

Miss Wang Er sniffed slightly and nodded: "After my father told me, I directly said that I didn't want to get married... so many people know about it."

Although Miss Wang Er has a gentle temperament, she is also a quick-witted person. She no longer hesitated and directly told the story of how she had a crush on Zhu He and how they developed feelings for each other.

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief. If he could learn this from Miss Wang Er, this trip would not be in vain.

Miss Wang Er said: "Of course there is, but after the matchmaker comes to talk about marriage, my father will come to ask for my opinion. If I don't agree, my father will not force me... I thought my father would never do it." They forced me to get married, but I didn’t expect that my father would be so determined this time.”

Miss Wang Er shook her head: "No."

From this point of view, we can only ask Mrs. Wang again. If Mrs. Wang doesn't know, then go to Xiao Siqing. Wang Jian works under Xiao Siqing, maybe Xiao Siqing can know this.

She is still a pure-minded girl who has not left purdah... Wang Jian will naturally be a good father when the interests of the officialdom are not involved. But when the interests of the officialdom are affected, a daughter's marriage can help him survive the crisis. Or even further, how could Wang Jian hesitate?

He said to Second Miss Wang again: "The last time Second Miss saw Wang Shaoqing was when Wang Shaoqing told you about your marriage. You haven't seen Wang Shaoqing since then, right?"

Bad mood? Irritated?
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

Lin Feng frowned. He thought for a while and said, "Second Miss, do you know if your father has encountered any difficulties during this time?"

It seems that we can't get any more clues from Miss Wang. However, if we can confirm Zhu He, determine how the real murderer used Zhu He, and know that Wang Jian was forced to agree to the marriage, it would be quite rewarding. rich.

He said: "Thank you, Miss Second, for your cooperation. Miss Second, please go back and rest first. If you have any other questions, I will come back to ask Miss Second."

He sent the second young lady back to the room, turned around, and saw that the housekeeper had quickly returned behind him.

"Lin SiZheng, where should we go next?" the housekeeper asked with a smile.

He is really smart... Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Go and see Toyogo who is getting the rosin."

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Feng asked Feng Wu to leave.

The conversation with Fenggo didn't last long, but it was enough for Lin Feng to confirm that there was nothing wrong with Fenggo.

Fenggo's answer and performance left Lin Feng unable to raise any questions. More importantly, on the night of the real murder, Fenggo went out due to family matters. In other words, he was not at the palace that night, and it was the second time. When I returned that morning, Zhou Helin had already investigated this matter and confirmed that Fengwu did not lie.

Moreover, when Fengwu returned, Wang San was delivering food to the fake Wang Jian, and there was someone in the room at that time. Therefore, combined with factors, Fengwu was able to completely rule out suspicion.

"It seems... the problem with rosin is that the remaining eighty or so rosins are all defective. In this case, no matter how Toyogo gets the rosin, he will always choose the problematic rosin... But the real culprit has ice. It is not difficult to steal a key to a warehouse, so the line of Rosin seems to be broken..."

Lin Feng touched his chin and sighed softly. Although he knew that it was impossible for every clue to lead to the final destination, it was still a pity that the direction he finally found was cut off like this.

Fortunately, Rosin's clues helped him rule out Wang San's suspicion and crack the third trap of the real murderer, which was not without any gains.

"call……"

Lin Feng let out a long breath. At this point, his questioning of all relevant scenes and relevant personnel has come to an end.

Through questioning Mrs. Wang and others, he had a detailed understanding of what happened in the days when the crime occurred. He knew when the real murderer killed the person, how he killed the person, and how he removed the heart and removed the body. And how to find scapegoats.

It can be said that the harvest was very rich. The investigation in just over an hour was far more than what Zhou Helin gained in five days.

but……

"It's not enough..."

Lin Feng's eyes kept flashing with thoughts, and he frowned slightly: "There are many clues, but they are complicated and not deep. It is difficult to connect them to each other to form a network of evidence connected end to end... There is still a key breakthrough. A clue to sex! A key clue that can connect all the clues!” “And...”

Lin Feng picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. Looking at his frowning face on the water, he slowly said to himself: "And... there are still some doubts that have not been solved. Even if there are few people late at night, the real murderer is still there." How can he be sure that no one will notice him opening the icehouse door, let alone that he will stay in the room the whole next day..."

"But as a member of the palace, what reasonable reason can he have for not showing up for a whole day?"

"And even if he has a reasonable reason, as long as such a person really exists, he should know that I will definitely doubt him... With his cautiousness, how could he put himself in a position where he could be suspected so easily? In a situation?”

Lin Feng couldn't figure it out. With the clues he currently had, he couldn't explain these problems at all.

Obviously, he still needs more clues, clues that can explain these problems. He has a hunch that once such clues appear, it will really not be far from him deciphering the truth.

"But how to find such clues... I have done everything I can..."

The housekeeper and Zhao Shiwu on the side saw Lin Feng frowning and talking to himself, and couldn't help but look at each other. The housekeeper said cautiously: "Lin Si Zheng, is there anyone who can help?"

Lin Feng shook his head, raised his head and drank the cold water in the cup.

The cold water entered his throat, and the coldness immediately made him shiver, instantly making his tired brain feel much more energetic.

After running all the way, he didn't stop at all when he came back, and he directly threw himself into the investigation of the case. This made Lin Feng always in a tired and high-load operation, and his brain was not as active as usual.

Fortunately, he can also use external objects to stimulate his brain.

"I have indeed done everything I should do, but the collection of clues is far from over... Li Haomiao's investigation has not yet yielded results, the news about Dr. Sun has not been sent back, and Zhao Xieyang's files have not been obtained... I am worried now. , it’s too early.”

Boom boom boom!
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly rang.

The voice of Dali Temple's gossip master came: "Lin Si Zheng, the lower official has completed the investigation according to Lin Si Zheng's request."

Hearing Li Haomiao's voice, Lin Feng raised his head sharply.

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!
"Come in." Lin Feng put down the water glass and said directly.

With a creaking sound, Li Haomiao pushed the door open and entered.

He came to Lin Feng, and without Lin Feng asking, he took out a roster, handed it to Lin Feng, and said: "Lin Si Zheng, I have already listed the names of those who brought things from the outside into the palace at least once in the eight days before Wang Shaoqing fell ill." After the investigation, this is the personnel list. There are twenty-five people in total, ten of whom are craftsmen who come to work in the palace, and fifteen of whom are the masters and servants of the palace. "

After hearing this, Lin Feng directly took the roster. He opened it and saw that the names of the twenty-five people were written in detail on the roster, as well as when and why they entered the palace, what they carried, etc., and their contents. It's very detailed, and it can be seen that Li Haomiao is really attentive.

"besides……"

Li Haomiao took out another roster from his arms and said: "This is the list of persons who were found to have left the palace with their belongings from the time when Wang Shaoqing fell ill to the time when Wang Shaoqing's body was discovered, following Lin Sizheng's instructions. member list."

Lin Feng took the list again, opened it, and saw that there were twenty-three people in the list, fifteen of whom were craftsmen and gardeners who came to work in the palace, and only eight were the masters and servants of the palace.

Lin Feng placed the two lists on the table at the same time and looked at the two lists to compare them and look for common names.

The first list, Lin Feng relied on the real murderer bringing the crime tools into the palace, and the second list relied on the real murderer bringing the dug out heart and tools out of the palace, so the two lists overlap. The place must be the scope where the real murderer exists.

And after confirming that the real culprit was someone from the palace, Lin Feng did not need to consider outsiders. He only had to compare the people in the palace, and the number of these people was not large.

Soon, Lin Feng came to a conclusion.

"Five people!"

Lin Feng discovered that there were only five people in the two lists that overlapped.

Coincidentally, among these five people, Toyogo who just asked was among them.

"So, these five people are the scope of the real murderers..."

Lin Feng took a deep look at the names of the five people, then looked at Li Haomiao and said, "How is the investigation going on the night Wang Shaoqing was killed?"

"This is what I want to say."

Li Haomiao looked at Lin Feng and said: "On the night of the incident, one of the five people was absent from the house because he went out, and among the other four, two were night patrol nurses and were always with other nurses. They have not left, and three of them have alibi. The remaining two are resting in their own rooms and no one can prove that they have not left, so they have no alibi.”

"but……"

As soon as his voice changed, his face became serious. He looked at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "But these two people were working with others when Wang San delivered food and medicine the next day, but at that time ...There is clearly someone in the room!”

Brush it.

Listening to Li Haomiao's words, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly dilated.

He stared at Li Haomiao closely and said, "Are you sure?"

Li Haomiao nodded heavily: "OK! I personally confirmed it one by one, and there is no problem!"

"Moreover, on the night when Wang Shaoqing's body was discovered, and when Mrs. Wang went back to the bedroom to rest, these five people were all together with others. But at that time, according to what Lin Sizheng said, the real murderer was already in the bedroom... so……"

Li Haomiao took a deep breath and said with a heavy face: "Lin Sizheng, their suspicions have been eliminated! It is impossible for them to commit this case! In other words, there are no suspects!"

Zhao Shiwu was already dumbfounded.

"How is it possible!? How come there are no suspects!?"

Zhao Shiwu had been following Lin Feng, so he knew very well why Lin Feng asked Li Haomiao to investigate. He thought that Li Haomiao's coming this time would be able to provide helpful clues to his adoptive father and help him find the suspect directly. !

But who knew that in the end, what they were waiting for was that there was no suspect!

Doesn't this mean that all the hard work the adoptive father has been doing has been in vain? Even the clues and directions that the adoptive father finally found were wrong?

Otherwise, how could there be nothing gained?
Li Haomiao was smart and naturally understood the purpose of Lin Feng asking him to do this. He said seriously: "I don't want to come to such a result, but I am sure that there was absolutely no mistake in the process. The result is that there is no suspect."

"Father..." Zhao Fifteen couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his face full of reluctance: "What...what should we do? Are we really wrong? Foster, your hard work of investigation was really in vain?"

When Li Haomiao and the housekeeper heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with worry.

But who would have expected that after Lin Feng heard the bad news about Li Haomiao, after frowning for a moment, he suddenly relaxed his brows and smiled: "Who said my investigation was in vain? Who said I was wrong?"

"What!?" The three of them were stunned.

Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but said: "But there are no suspects..."

"There should be no suspects! There should be no suspects!"

"I see……"

Lin Feng's eyes shot out with dazzling light. He raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, "I understand! I finally understand what is going on!"

Seeing Lin Feng's excitement in peeking through the fog, Zhao Fifteen and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

"Father, you..."

Lin Feng looked at the three of them and said, "I finally understand why the real murderer dared to dig out the heart in the icehouse without worrying about being discovered when he opened the stone door of the icehouse!"

"I finally understand why the real murderer dared to pretend to be Wang Shaoqing for a whole day after killing someone without fear of being discovered by anyone!"

"Of course he is not afraid of being discovered, because it is impossible for anyone to discover that anyone is absent from the palace! Because he is not absent at all! He is not hiding in the room pretending to be Wang Shaoqing!"

Zhao Shiwu was confused: "But foster father, there is indeed someone in Wang Shaoqing's room..."

"Yes, there is indeed someone, but it is not the real murderer hiding in the palace!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said something that shocked the three people present: "Don't you understand yet? Why is there no suspect? Why is everyone satisfied with the alibi? Why can the real murderer do this?"

"Because... this is not a crime committed by one person at all! The real murderer has a helper! And that helper... is not someone from the palace!"

"he……"

Lin Feng looked directly at the two rosters on the table. He glanced around the two rosters. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and swept the second roster to the ground. Then he raised his finger and pointed at the first one. The list of foreign craftsmen on the roster said with certainty: "The real murderer's helper is among these people!"
