People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 259 The reasoning begins! Hidden motives emerge!
Half an hour later.

Wang Jian was living alone outside the room. The palace's servants and government officials had already surrounded the place. They stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look into the room.

At the same time, whispers continued to be heard.

"Has the case really been solved? It won't be the same as when Magistrate Zhou solved the case before, but he fell into the real murderer's trick again, right?"

"Yeah, after the previous experience, I don't dare to believe in solving the case now, for fear that it will be an empty joy again, or someone will be wronged."

"Don't worry, it's Lin Sizheng who called us here this time. Who knows Lin Sizheng's abilities? He is different from County Magistrate Zhou. If he says the case is solved, it must be solved."

"That's right! Lin Sizheng is a great detective. Magistrate Zhou was deceived by the real murderer before and almost framed a good person. It was the mistake Lin Sizheng pointed out. Lin Sizheng will definitely not make the same mistake."

"It would be great if this is the case. The master's murderer will finally be found out!"

"Yeah, but Lin Simasa is really awesome. He only investigated for two or three hours, and he actually solved the case. Magistrate Zhou investigated for five days, but it almost led to an unjust case. How powerful was I to Lin Simasa before? There was no clear concept, but now there is.”

"Shhh, keep your voice down! This is the sad thing that County Magistrate Zhou doesn't want to mention the most. If Magistrate Zhou hears it, you will be in good hands."

Others had the same reaction.

I lost.

So when I heard Lin Feng say that there were actually two murderers, I felt so surprised and unbelievable.

Although he didn't have much contact with Lin Feng, Zhou Helin thought he had enough understanding of Lin Feng's temperament. Lin Feng was a very cautious person, and he must be 100% sure of what Lin Feng said.

Zhou Helin understood what Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng indeed solved the case.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Feng did not give in. He said slowly: "First of all, I want to tell you something, that is, the real culprit who killed Wang Shaoqing and committed the unforgivable crime was not one person, but Two people.”

"This..." Zhou Helin thought hesitantly, then nodded: "That's true."

When he reacted, he was already standing in the room, and his ears were filled with the discussion of the servants of the palace.

Although Zhou Helin knew that Gao Jishi was using himself to influence Lin Feng, he really had no idea that there were two real culprits. This made him not bother to refute Gao Jishi, but just stared at Lin Feng closely, wondering what was going on. One thing.

"What!? Two people?"

"First, the murderer dug out the heart in the icehouse, then sutured the wounds, and carefully chipped away the bloody ice in the icehouse. Doing these things must have taken a lot of time, but even in the dead of night, It is inevitable that no one will pass by the icehouse, and it is inevitable that no one will want to check on Wang Shaoqing's condition. In this case, how can the murderer ensure that his actions will not be discovered? "

Can I say I heard it?
Zhou Helin took a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng with a very complicated heart.

Zhou Helin, who had clear eyes and ears in the room: "..."

This realization made Zhou Helin feel unspeakably uncomfortable. He knew very well that losing this case meant that his competition for Shaoqing was over.

He was searching for clues just now, and he was working hard to find out the truth, so as to wash away his previous embarrassing reasoning and restore his reputation that he had lost somewhere.

His hands hidden in the wide sleeves were trembling uncontrollably, and his heart felt like it was being pinched in pain. Zhou Helin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and looked at Lin Feng, saying: "Lin Si Zheng, really Who is the murderer? What is going on in this case? "

Among the people present, only those who had helped Lin Feng check the files, such as Zhao Shiwu, the housekeeper, and Zhang Wei, knew some relevant inside information. Others, including the investigators including Zhou Helin and people in the palace including Mrs. Wang, were concerned about this. Completely unaware.

He wanted to know how he lost, and he even wanted to know who was the insidious and cunning real culprit who caused him to suffer repeated setbacks.

He just felt as if his brain had stopped functioning, as if all his thoughts had become blank, so that he didn't even know how he got here.

The competition between himself and Lin Feng finally came to an end at this moment.

Zhou Helin frowned and nodded: "This is actually something I have never been able to figure out, but after investigation, I found that the nursing home patrolling that night happened to avoid this place, so I think the real culprit should have known about the nursing home in advance. He can only do it if he is sure that no one will patrol the patrol route."

Gao Xingyi glanced at the reactions of Zhou Helin and others, his heart moved slightly, and said calmly: "Lin Sizheng, are you sure there are two real culprits? Magistrate Zhou investigated it five days in advance than you, and it seems that he didn't even know about this case. You'd better check it out before making any mistakes, so as not to make mistakes and affect the reputation of Dali Temple."

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Magistrate Zhou, I am also lucky."

They were also eager to know who the real culprit was who killed Wang Jian.

For a moment, Lin Feng quickly became the center of attention.

"Wang San?" The housekeeper was startled. He couldn't help but glance at Wang San, who was brought out with his head down and depressed, and said, "Did Wang San discover something?"

Lin Feng smiled and continued: "The second reason comes from Wang San."

They always thought there was only one murderer.

Lin Feng said: "If you don't patrol the nursing home, you can really do it in the icehouse. But has County Magistrate Zhou thought about it? Wang Shaoqing was seriously ill at that time, and his family must be very worried. What if Mrs. Wang and others want to visit Wang Shaoqing's condition at this time? ? How to ensure that the murderer will not be discovered?"

Zhou Helin pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help asking: "Did you really solve the case? Did you really find the real murderer? Is there really enough evidence?"

He asked three questions in a row, allowing Lin Feng to instantly understand Zhou Helin's complicated inner thoughts.

"What do you mean, I want you to make a mistake? I'm just reminding you." Gao Jishi was angered by Lin Feng's sarcastic words.

Lin Feng looked at Gao Jingcheng and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gao Shaoqing. As the official of Dali Temple, the reputation of Dali Temple is more important than his own life. Even if Gao Shaoqing wants the official to make mistakes, the official will not make mistakes." ”

"Lin SiZheng..."

After hearing Zhou Helin's words, the eyes of other people in the room, including Gao Xingxing, Zhang Wei, Li Haomiao, Sun Fujia, Mrs. Wang's housekeeper and other key personnel of the palace, also fell on Lin Feng.

In other words, even though Lin Feng was five days later than himself, this case was still solved by Lin Feng.

Everyone was startled when they heard Lin Feng's words.

At that moment, Zhou Helin was stunned.

But who would have thought that just when he was investigating with high morale, Zhao Shiwu suddenly ran over and told him not to waste time. When he heard this, his brain started buzzing, thinking that Zhao Shiwu was here to ridicule him. His own. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Zhao Shiwu say that Lin Feng had solved the case.

Lin Feng smiled and stopped arguing with Gao Xingcheng. He said, "I am convinced that the murderer is not one person. There are three reasons why."

When Wang San heard Lin Feng mentioning him, he also raised his head and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Wang San is honest and honest, but he has provided me with the most important clue."

"What?" Zhou Helin asked quickly. He also asked Wang San, but Wang San didn't give him any important clues at all.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and others and said, "Wang San found a piece of paper in the charcoal basin in the room that was not completely burned when the murderer was pretending to be Wang Shaoqing."

As he spoke, he took the paper out of his arms and said, "There are still some writings left on this paper where it was not burned. After identification, these writings are not the handwriting of anyone in the palace."

"But the murderer was the only one in the room at that time, so it is certain that this must be the handwriting written by the murderer. The murderer wanted to destroy it, but unexpectedly left a small piece... Then it does not belong to anyone in the palace, and Who does it belong to?”

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin stepped forward directly, his eyes fixed on the burned paper with black surroundings.

Looking at the very unsightly but written handwriting, Zhou Helin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang San and asked: "Why didn't you take it out when I asked you?"

He had no idea that Wang San had any unburned papers. If he had known, he would have taken it to investigate.

Lin Feng naturally knew why. Wang San had a secret and was threatened by the real murderer. Either he didn't bring it out to prevent the real murderer from revealing his secret, or if he took it out, he would definitely find the real murderer. As long as the real murderer was found, So no matter what the real culprit said about him, he would always have an excuse to say that the real culprit was deliberately retaliating, so Wang San wanted to choose someone to give key clues... and it was obvious that Wang San did not think Zhou Helin could find the real culprit.

However, Wang San naturally would not say these words. Faced with Zhou Helin's questioning, Wang San just lowered his head and said nervously: "The villain didn't expect this piece of paper to be so important at the time. Lin Si was reminding the villain that he had I didn’t find anything special, such as sound paper, and then the villain remembered that there was this piece of paper.”

Wang San's expression was honest and honest, and he spoke tremblingly at this time, giving people the feeling that he was telling the truth. At the same time, Wang San also made it very clear that the reason why he took out the note was because of Lin Feng's good guidance. In other words In other words, this has nothing to do with Wang San's wishes. It is entirely because Lin Feng is better at asking questions than Zhou Helin, which makes Zhou Helin unable to get angry even if he wants to.

My skills are not as good as others, what else can I say?

Seeing Zhou Helin's depressed look, Zhang Wei and Gao Jingcheng couldn't help but look at each other. Before, they had only heard that Lin Feng was very good at investigating crimes, but now they saw it with their own eyes, and they knew what Lin Feng was really good at.

Zhou Helin's investigative skills were not bad in the imperial court, but compared with Lin Feng, he could tell the difference at a glance.

Gao Xingcheng's expression became more and more serious, while Zhang Wei looked at Lin Feng with an even brighter expression.

Zhou Helin took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and said: "I understand, so to speak, the person who pretended to be Wang Shaoqing at that time, if his handwriting is not owned by someone in the palace, then he is not a member of the palace... But we It has been determined before that the real murderer has the key to the icehouse and is very familiar with Wang Shaoqing's handwriting. He must be someone from the palace. So Lin Sizheng used this to judge that the murderer was not one person, but someone from the palace colluded with outsiders? "

"Precisely because there are other people cooperating, they can safely do those complicated things in the icehouse without worrying about someone visiting Wang Shaoqing because they already have someone hiding in the room?"

After all, Zhou Helin had rich experience in investigating cases. After calming down, he quickly understood the meaning of Lin Feng's second reason.

He also quickly judged that this was the result of collusion between people from the palace and outsiders.

When everyone heard Zhou Helin's words, they all looked at Lin Feng quickly. No matter how reasonable Zhou Helin's words were, they still had to wait for Lin Feng's final confirmation.

"County Magistrate Zhou is indeed very experienced. He understood what I meant at a glance."

Lin Feng nodded and said: "But this is still an inference, so a third point is needed to confirm!"

"And the third point is what happened the day after Wang Shaoqing was killed, when the murderer pretended to be Wang Shaoqing and hid in this room." Mrs. Wang couldn't help but asked: "What happened?"

Lin Feng looked at everyone in the palace and said slowly: "I asked Li Sicheng to investigate your whereabouts that day. After investigation, it was found that on that day, when Wang San delivered food and medicine to Wang Shaoqing, everyone in your palace , are all together with other people, that is to say, there is no way anyone in your palace is hiding in this room. "

"But I have determined that the real culprit is someone from the palace. Therefore, there can only be one result, and that is that the murderer is two people, and the other person, let's call him an accomplice, is not from the palace!"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's thoughts quickly began to swirl. After a while, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

"It seems to be true."

"So, there are really two murderers, and these two people are colluding with each other inside and outside our palace!"

"It's really hateful! It's not enough to kill the master brutally, but he even colludes with outsiders!"

"Who are they? Why are they so cruel to the master!"

The people in the palace were filled with indignation and denounced him angrily.

Mrs. Wang's eyes couldn't help but turn red again. She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Her heart was as sharp as a knife. The closer she got to the truth, the sadder she felt.

Zhou Helin couldn't help but sigh and said: "After I received the notice from Lin Sizheng and learned that the first night was the time of the crime, I wanted to investigate the situation on the second day, but I didn't have time to fully investigate. , I was called by Lin Sizheng... so that I now know that no one had an alibi the next day, and it turned out that there were really two murderers. "

Lin Feng said: "The real murderer hiding in the palace is very cunning. He deliberately created many traps in order to constantly interfere with our judgment. If we hadn't confirmed that there were two murderers, we really wouldn't have been able to identify his deception. No We will continue to investigate the case.”

Zhou Helin agreed very much with Lin Feng's words. He said: "Fortunately, Lin Sizheng was not deceived by him and still discovered the fact that the two of them joined forces."

Lin Feng smiled, turned his head to look at Gao Xingcheng, and said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing, can you rest assured that your subordinate has not disgraced Dali Temple?"

When Gao Jingcheng heard this, his expression froze. He had been questioning Lin Feng just now, but Lin Feng quickly gave out three irrefutable reasons. This was obviously a slap in the face with the facts.

But he couldn't change his face, as that would be tantamount to proving that he was deliberately embarrassing Lin Feng, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded: "Lin Si is doing a good job. I am completely relieved."

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. He continued, "After confirming that the real murderer has an accomplice, those difficult questions that were originally difficult to explain were solved. At the same time, the direction of the investigation was also clear. For different clues, there are obviously contradictory clues. We can distinguish whether they belong to the real murderer or the accomplice, and then investigate them separately."

"So, after confirming that the two committed the crime, my next step is to determine why they killed people and why they had to dig out their hearts after killing them!"

Having said this, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "I believe County Magistrate Zhou has also thought about why the murderer still wants to dig out people's hearts after killing them, right?"

Zhou Helin nodded directly: "This is natural."

"What did the county magistrate think then?"

"I guess it's hatred! The murderer has a grudge against Wang Shaoqing. In order to vent his anger, killing people is not enough, so he digs deeper."

Lin Feng nodded: "Magistrate Zhou is thinking the same thing as me. Can Magistrate Zhou determine the reason for the hatred?"

Zhou Helin shook his head and frowned: "Unexpectedly, I asked Mrs. Wang and the others. Wang Shaoqing has a good temper and has never had any enmity with anyone, so I can't tell what kind of hatred the murderer has against him. If he doesn't kill enough, he still wants to dig up Heart."

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly: "My husband has indeed never had any enmity with anyone. Even the servants in the house, I have never beaten or scolded him."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "I also asked Mrs. Wang about this matter, but the answer given by Mrs. Wang is obviously contradictory to the result we judged."

Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "I didn't lie. The master is really kind to others. This is something everyone knows."

"Mrs. Wang, don't worry, I don't mean to accuse you of lying."

Lin Feng waved his hand. He looked at Mrs. Wang who was anxiously explaining, and said slowly: "I mean, it is certain that the murderer has a grudge against Mr. Wang, but Mrs. Wang said there is no such thing... It is obvious that the murderer and Mr. Wang have a grudge." Mrs. Wang doesn’t know about Wang Shaoqing’s enmity.”

"I don't know?" Mrs. Wang was stunned.

Before she could figure out what she didn't know, Zhang Wei, who was listening quietly on the side, suddenly said: "Dossier? Lin Si is talking about a case that Wang Shaoqing has solved. Is it possible that he has a grudge against the murderer?"

"Case?" Everyone was stunned.

They hurriedly looked at Zhang Wei, and then heard Zhang Wei say: "You don't know, Lin Si is sending people from Dali Temple to transfer all the case files that Wang Shaoqing was mainly responsible for, and Lin Si was just flipping through the files without moving. More than an hour... So I think, if I have to find hatred, it should be the hatred between the person who solved the case and the prisoner. "

Mrs. Wang quickly looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Sizheng, is it true?"

Gao Jishi also stared directly at Lin Feng. Only now did he know why Lin Feng insisted on transferring Wang Jian's files.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Lin Feng nodded slowly and said: "I am also the one who decides the case, so I know very well that we are inherently hostile to the prisoners. Even if we deal with them according to the most just laws, we can still Their friends and relatives will hate us too."

"So, Mrs. Wang said that Wang Shaoqing has no enemies. This statement is wrong in itself. As a member of Dali Temple, who dares to say that he has never been involved in a case? Who dares to say that no one hates him?"

Mrs. Wang's phoenix eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but said: "Is this so... Then is this murderer really the prisoner of a certain case that the master has investigated?"

Zhou Helin stared at Lin Feng closely. He completely ignored this point, but he also knew that even if he knew this, it would be difficult to find the corresponding case. After all, the number of cases that Wang Jian has investigated over the years has been dozens if not hundreds. , and they have no more clues. If they want to find it, it is more than just difficult.

Gao Fuli stared at Lin Feng. He saw with his own eyes how Lin Feng flipped through the files motionlessly. He didn't know what Lin Feng was going to do before, but now that he knew it, he couldn't believe that Lin Feng could find the case he wanted.

Zhang Wei commented that Lin Feng's behavior at that time was very difficult. Now that I think about it, it is very difficult. It is simply impossible.

So if Lin Feng can find him, is he really a human?
Finally, under everyone's nervous gaze, Lin Feng's voice slowly sounded: "After ruling out many possibilities, I suspected that the murderer had a grudge against Wang Shaoqing because of the case that Wang Shaoqing was responsible for, so I started investigating these files. "

"To be honest with you, there are a lot of files in these files, and each case is very complicated. It is indeed difficult to find cases without more clues to them, but the good thing is..."

Lin Feng changed his voice and smiled softly: "I am lucky. I found a case that is somewhat similar to this case among many files."

"Similar to this case?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I have read these files, but there seems to be no case in any of them. They are talking about someone being killed and then frozen, or being killed and then having his heart ripped out, right?"

Gao Jingcheng shook his head directly: "Indeed not. I have also read these files. There is no similarity at all with the case of Wang Shaoqing's murder."

"No!"

When Lin Feng saw the two people refuting him, he slowly shook his head and said, "What I said is somewhat similar. I am not referring to the method of committing the crime, the circumstances of the death of the deceased, and whether the heart was dug out after death."

"Then what similarities are there?" Gao Jingcheng said coldly: "Whether a case is similar or not, doesn't it depend on the real murderer's method of committing the crime? Isn't it the condition of the deceased? These two are different, so how can we talk about similarities? ”

Zhang Wei and Zhou Helin also looked at Lin Feng.

Then he saw Lin Feng take out a file from his arms. He raised the file in his hand and said calmly: "This file talks about the murder of a sixth-grade official."

"This official is an official from the Shaofu Prison. He was killed one night three months ago at the inn where he was traveling. It stands to reason that the murder of a sixth-grade official would not be the case for a fourth-grade official. The Shaoqing personally took action, but the official of the Shaofu Prison was on a mission and was killed during his return. This was equivalent to the murder of an imperial envoy. His Majesty was very angry and ordered Dali Temple to investigate. At that time, everyone had a mission Only Wang Shaoqing is safe for the time being, so this case falls on Wang Shaoqing. "

Gao Jingcheng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "When you said that, I thought of this case, but this case is nothing, right? This is because one of my subordinates had different intentions and accidentally killed his master after being discovered by him... ...Wang Shaoqing only took three days to investigate clearly. I have also read the file and there are no problems. "

Lin Feng nodded: "Indeed, this case seems very simple to Gao Shaoqing, and it is indeed very simple, but Gao Shaoqing may have overlooked that when Wang Shaoqing was sentencing the punishment, he not only beheaded the murderer, but also beheaded an attendant at the inn."

"The attendants at the inn were also killed?" Zhou Helin asked in confusion: "Why?"

Lin Feng said: "Because the murderer's subordinate confessed to the inn attendant when he was interrogated. He said that after killing the person, he paid a lot of money to bribe the inn attendant and asked him to help deal with the scene and give false testimony for him. Wang Shaoqing heard about it. , so the inn attendant was severely punished as an accomplice and accomplice, in order to serve as a warning to others."

Gao Luxing heard Lin Feng say this and thought of this. He said, "As a post attendant, he usually has to entertain officials who come and go. If everyone is as obsessed with money as him and has no bottom line, then where is the safety of the officials? So there is no problem with Wang Shaoqing punishing him severely."

"If he is really obsessed with money, deliberately perjures himself, and has no bottom line, then it would be a shame for him to die, but what if he is not?"

"What?" Gao Jingcheng was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "At the end of the file, there is their results. The men who committed the murder have been beheaded in public, and the inn attendant..."

He took a deep breath and said: "He was not beheaded. It's not that his punishment was reduced, but that he committed suicide out of fear of crime when he was imprisoned... The way he committed suicide out of fear of crime was to break the bowl and use the bowl's sharp edge. The fragment stabbed into the heart, leaving behind a last words written in blood - If there is a day of revenge in the next life, look at your black heart! Injustice! "

"Injustice? Injustice? Injustice?"

Zhou Helin frowned and said, "Could it be that he was wrongly accused?"

Gao Jingcheng sneered and said: "What injustice is wrong? Gold, silver and jewelry that did not belong to him were found in his room. He was clearly unwilling to be found out like this and not willing to die like this, so he specially used this method to give him Wang Shaoqing is looking for trouble!"

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment: "Is this so?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "I have indeed found physical evidence, but I cannot say whether the truth is true...and what I want to say is not whether he is innocent. What I want to talk about is the situation of this case."

"You might as well think about it... the final result of this case is that the official's men killed someone, and then colluded with outsiders to fake the scene in an attempt to escape from the law... So, do you think this is similar to this case? Is it the result of internal and external collusion to kill? "

"This..." Gao Xingyi hesitated.

Lin Feng added: "Also, let's think back to the bloody words left by the inn attendant. What did he say? He said, 'If there is a day of revenge in the next life, it will be a black heart or a red heart.' Look at your black heart or a red heart..."

Lin Feng suddenly increased his tone, looked at everyone with his eyes, lowered his tone and said quietly: "You guys...how does he look at black hearts and red hearts?"
