People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 273 Breakthrough!
"So fast?"

Lin Feng was slightly surprised when he heard Li Zhen's words.

It had only been more than a quarter of an hour since he asked Li Zhen to invite Li Tai. Unexpectedly, Li Tai was brought directly.

Even though Li Tai's Prince Yue Mansion is very close to the East Palace, it's too fast... After all, when a prince like Li Tai travels, apart from other things, changing clothes, washing up, and going through the corresponding procedures cannot be completed in a quarter or two, so It seems that there is only one possibility for Li Tai to arrive so quickly...

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly: "I'm afraid Li Tai has already finished dressing up and has been waiting to be summoned to ask about the East Palace!"

Li Chengqian was in a coma, and Li Tai's mansion was surrounded by guards. Even if Li Tai didn't hear the rumors outside, he should know how dangerous his situation was, so if nothing unexpected happened, Li Tai should have been prepared and waiting for Li Shimin to ask questions. , he might have thought about the questions Li Shimin would ask hundreds of times in his mind, just thinking about quickly clearing his suspicions... But who knows, Li Shimin didn't even see him, let alone ask him questions. .

In two nights and one day, Li Tai's tortured mentality was probably about to collapse. The longer Li Shimin didn't see him, the more panic he felt. This led to the fact that even if he was about to see Li Tai in a small Dali temple, Li Tai would Came here without any delay.

"Lin Si Zheng, His Highness the King of Yue is here. Go and see His Highness the King of Yue quickly. I don't dare to keep His Highness the King of Yue waiting. I, Lin Si Zheng, can come and ask at any time."

At this time, Zhang Linzhu's voice sounded. As the head of the East Palace family, Zhang Linzhu almost regarded it as instinct to abide by the strict hierarchy of the palace. When meeting the prince, he would always give priority to him.

But who knows, Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I don't like to run twice for one thing. If it can be done in one time, there is no reason to delay it twice, so let His Highness the King of Yue wait first."

Zhang Linzhu was startled and said hurriedly: "Lin Si Zheng, His Highness the King of Yue has a bad temper. He values ​​this very much. If you do this, I am afraid that His Highness the King of Yue will be dissatisfied."

bad temper? Value these things...that's what I want.

When interrogating the other party, it is fine if the other party can cooperate. However, if the other party is obviously hiding something or is unwilling to cooperate, then you need to use some special methods...to anger the other party, make the other party lose control of their emotions, and make the other party lose their usual temperament. Calm down, increase the psychological pressure of the other party, let the other party make up their own mind before they start asking questions, and put pressure on themselves. This is Lin Feng's usual method.

Regardless of whether Li Tai was the culprit that caused Li Chengqian's coma, his thoughts were clearly impure last night and he most likely would not tell the truth, so Lin Feng had to use some means.

Not to mention that Lin Feng didn't think that Li Tai would really be dissatisfied... With Li Shimin hanging on to Li Tai for two nights and one day, how could Li Tai still have the time to be dissatisfied? He would hang on to Li Tai for a while just to make Li Tai understand. Even if he is not Li Shimin, he can still decide whether Li Tai is suspicious, so that Li Tai will not act like a prince with him during the subsequent questioning.

Of course, there is no need to explain this to Zhang Linzhu. Zhang Linzhu is also suspicious of Lin Feng.

"Your Majesty has given me full authority to handle the case. Who should be interrogated first and who should be questioned later. His Majesty has given me absolute rights, so Zhang Jialing does not have to worry about me. Let's seize the time and continue talking about the events of the day."

Zhang Linzhu saw that Lin Feng insisted on his own opinion, so he had no choice but to nod and said, "What else does Lin Sizheng want to know?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Yue is here, let's talk about His Royal Highness the King of Yue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He looked at Zhang Linzhu and said, "I wonder what the normal relationship between His Royal Highness the King of Yue and His Highness the Crown Prince is like?"

"This..." Zhang Linzhu hesitated.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. From Zhang Linzhu's reaction, he already knew that the relationship between the two was very bad, but he still needed precise testimony. He said: "Zhang Jialing had better not hide it, otherwise the investigation will be delayed. Let Your Majesty know, the Zhang Family Order will probably be very troublesome."

Zhang Linzhu's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Actually, I don't know how to describe their relationship. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very tolerant of his brother, His Majesty the King of Yue. When His Majesty wants to reward something, he will let the King of Yue pick it out first, but the King of Yue Your Highness..."

He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I really like to fight with the Crown Prince. Even if His Royal Highness lets His Highness the King of Yue choose first, when His Highness the Crown Prince chooses something, His Highness the King of Yue will give up what he chose before, and then Go fight for what His Highness the Prince chooses.”

Is Li Tai jealous of Li Chengqian? So as long as Li Chengqian wants something, he must get it?
Lin Feng has seen many people who behaved like this in later generations. The essence is that they are caused by inferiority and jealousy. They always feel that the other person's things are better than their own. In order to obtain psychological satisfaction, they can only steal the other person's things and get the other person's things. Things can make you feel that you are not inferior to others.

Of course, Zhang Linzhu is Li Chengqian's dongong family leader, and he will definitely lean towards Li Chengqian when making evaluations. Therefore, Li Chengqian may not be as good as Zhang Linzhu said, but Li Tai does not dare to belittle him casually, so the problem should not be big.

"Then during the time when His Highness the Crown Prince was ill, did His Highness the King of Yue often come to visit His Highness the Crown Prince?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Zhang Linzhu shook his head: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue has only come twice. Once was when His Highness the Crown Prince fell ill, and His Highness the King of Yue came to visit with other princes. The second time is this time."

The first time, he had no choice but to come with other brothers to visit his sick brother. But the second time, just after the visit, Li Chengqian fell into a coma... If it was a coincidence, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.

Li Chengqian has been ill for a long time, and Li Tai has only visited twice. From this, it can be seen that Li Tai really doesn't like Li Chengqian and is unwilling to make superficial remarks... Of course, this is different from Li Tai being singled out by Li Shimin. Favoring is also related. For example, other princes who are not favored would probably want to come ten times a day to let Li Shimin see the character of caring about his brother.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Yue has done anything else besides giving gifts to His Highness the Crown Prince since he arrived this time? Or has he said anything that has nothing to do with visiting His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Other things..."

Zhang Linzhu thought for a while and then shook his head: "I didn't say anything else. At most, I just talked about what he did for His Majesty when His Majesty was ill, and what rewards His Majesty gave him. Other than that, that's all. Nothing else."

Tsk... Is this a special trip to show off and stimulate Li Chengqian?
Due to a special illness, Li Chengqian could only lie in the East Palace and could rarely see Li Shimin, let alone help Li Shimin. Therefore, Li Tai said these words to Li Chengqian, obviously deliberately poking Li Chengqian's pain.

Then comes the problem.

Why didn't Li Tai come to stimulate Li Chengqian for so long, but he came the night before yesterday?
Why did he choose this time?

Based on Li Tai's past behavior, Lin Feng was not surprised that he would come to provoke Li Chengqian. What he cared about was time.

Li Chengqian happened to be unconscious after being stimulated by Li Tai. Is this time a coincidence or inevitable?

Zhang Linzhu doesn't know about these things, so it seems he can only get the conclusion from Li Tai.

Lin Feng pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang Linzhu again and said, "Besides His Royal Highness the King of Yue, anyone else came to the East Palace the day before yesterday. Have you seen His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Linzhu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to rest. Under normal circumstances, except for the officials of the East Palace, His Majesty the Queen and the princes, no one else will come to the East Palace. But the day before yesterday, except for His Royal Highness the King of Yue, only His Majesty came at noon, and the Crown Prince His Majesty left after having lunch together."

In addition to Li Tai, Li Shimin also came... Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.

Originally, when Li Shimin came to see Li Chengqian, Lin Feng wouldn't think anything of it, but now Lin Feng knew that Li Shimin was deliberately hiding something, and Li Shimin also unusually didn't see Li Tai, which made Lin Feng a little unsure...

But Li Shimin had no reason to harm Li Chengqian, and judging from Li Shimin's angry look, Li Chengqian's coma should have nothing to do with him.

Is Li Shimin's arrival a coincidence?

Or... is there a deeper secret hidden in it that I didn't expect?
There were too few clues for Lin Feng to conduct deeper reasoning, so he could only temporarily suppress these thoughts to avoid subjective assumptions and affect his subsequent judgment.

He sorted out the information he got in his mind and said, "That's all I want to know for now. When I get new clues in the future, maybe I will come again."

Zhang Linzhu said hurriedly: "Lin Sizheng can come over at any time. As long as I can help Lin Sizheng solve the case, I don't care."

Lin Feng smiled, stood up and said, "Thank you Zhang Jialing for your cooperation. Zhang Jialing can rest peacefully for the time being. I am here to handle the case. I will do my best to let the truth come out as soon as possible."

Zhang Linzhu hurriedly nodded in return: "I believe in Lin Si Zheng. Lin Si Zheng is like a god in solving cases. This case will definitely not be difficult for Lin Si Zheng."

Lin Feng stopped delaying. Li Tai had been waiting for a while, and it was time to go see Li Tai and talk to the rightful owner who was suspected by everyone and was at the forefront of the storm.

"Farewell."

He turned around and left the cell.

As soon as he came out, he saw Li Zhen, whose back was as straight as a spear, standing quietly in front of the door. Li Zhen had a horizontal knife hanging on his waist and a resolute expression. He did not show the murderous aura like other guards, but instead gave people a look. This kind of stability is as heavy as Mount Tai, making people feel that with him by their side, they will subconsciously feel safe.

No wonder Li Zhen can become Qianniu Taishen. This temperament and magnanimity are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even among the second generation of meritorious deeds, there are probably not many people who can compare with him... Lin Feng cupped his hands to Li Zhen and said: "Let me Li Qianniu has been waiting for a long time.”

Li Zhen shook his head: "This is where the responsibility lies."

He was still as serious as ever and continued: "Your Majesty has given orders to invite Sun Simiao. Someone saw Sun Simiao in Chang'an City a few days ago, so if Sun Simiao has not left Chang'an, he should be here soon."

I just mentioned Sun Simiao, and you all know that Sun Simiao was in Chang'an a few days ago... It seems that Li Shimin's control over Chang'an is stronger than he imagined.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is the best." "Also." Li Zhen continued: "Not long after His Royal Highness the King of Yue arrived, Dr. Sun also arrived."

Sun Fujia is here too?

Sun Fujia's mansion was further away than Prince Yue's mansion, but he came so quickly. Lin Feng knew that Sun Fujia must have been preparing for him at all times, waiting for his call.

He asked: "Where is Dr. Sun?"

"Waiting for Lin Sizheng outside the front hall, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is waiting for Lin Sizheng inside the front hall."

Listening to Li Zhen's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at Li Zhen. He found that although Li Zhen looked old-fashioned, he was actually very thoughtful.

After he came out, without asking anything, Li Zhen took the initiative to tell him everything that happened during his questioning, so that he could understand something, and also arranged for Li Tai and Sun Fuga to be very appropriate...

Li Zhen knew that he was going to ask Li Tai next, and he also knew that Sun Fujia was here to assist him, so he specifically asked Sun Fujia to stay outside the palace, so that he could meet Sun Fujia when he went there, without the need for himself or Sun Fujia to do anything. Walk the journey.

It seems that Li Shimin specially sent Li Zhen to cooperate with him, not only because Li Zhen has the same character as Wei Zheng, but also because he has a clear mind and can help him to the maximum extent.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Without further delay, let's go see His Highness the King of Yue."

While walking, Lin Feng verified his speculation: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue came down much faster than I expected."

Li Zhen said truthfully: "When our people went to the Yue Prince's Mansion, His Highness the King of Yue was already dressed, so after receiving our order, His Highness the King of Yue came immediately without wasting any time."

It's really like this... Compared with Li Chengqian, Li Tai has a bit of inferiority, so he can only seek comfort from Li Shimin. As a result, Li Shimin didn't pamper him as usual this time, and didn't even see him. You can imagine his sensitivity How anxious is my little heart?

Not long after, the two arrived at the front hall. As soon as they arrived, Lin Feng saw a familiar figure.

He walked over with a smile: "Dr. Sun, we have to fight side by side again."

Hearing this, Sun Fujia turned around, looked at the smile on Lin Feng's face, and couldn't help but said: "You really have such an optimistic attitude under any circumstances. On the way here, I learned a little about the case, and it turned out that My heart is heavy."

Lin Feng laughed, gave Sun Fujia a look, and said with a smile: "It's something I expected a long time ago, isn't it?"

Sun Fujia knew what Lin Feng was referring to, but he was even more worried about Lin Feng because of this.

However, he also knew that what Lin Feng needed now was not negative worry, but positive support, so Sun Fujia took a deep breath, swept away those negative thoughts in his heart, and said directly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is in the palace. Are you going to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue when you come down?"

Lin Feng nodded, looked at the wide open palace door in front of him, and said meaningfully: "All the information I have obtained so far points to the suspect of His Highness the King of Yue, so I have to respect this information, right?"

Listening to Lin Feng's unusual tone, Sun Fujia, who had a perfect tacit understanding with Lin Feng, suddenly felt something in his heart. He couldn't help but whisper: "You don't think it's His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Yes or no, I don't have the final say. There must be evidence... Let's go."

As he spoke, Lin Feng walked towards the palace door: "Maybe soon, we will know whether it is or not."

Several people quickly stepped through the palace door and entered the palace.

As soon as he entered, Lin Feng saw a young man wearing a python robe who looked exactly like Li Shimin, pacing back and forth anxiously in the hall.

He put his hands in front of him, stretched out his palm with one hand, and made a fist with the other hand. As he walked, his fists kept hitting his palms, and at the same time, he sighed. Lin Feng's restless and anxious state of mind was clearly revealed to Lin Feng. before.

"Lin Feng, the master of Dali Temple, has met His Highness the King of Yue."

Lin Feng stopped and spoke loudly.

Hearing the sound, Li Tai noticed someone coming outside the door. His expression froze, and then he quickly straightened his back and walked quickly to the table, where Shi Shiran sat down.

Then he raised his head to look at Lin Feng and the other three, and immediately slapped the table and sneered: "Lin Si is such a powerful official, allowing me to wait here for you for so long!"

If you hadn't acted so anxious just now, I would have believed that you were really angry... Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly: "When His Royal Highness the King of Yue arrived, I was asking about Zhang Jialing, and happened to learn from Zhang Jialing that His Highness came to the East Palace. Because His Highness the King of Yue is the last outsider to see His Highness the Crown Prince, the lower official must understand the situation of His Highness the King of Yue clearly, in case he misunderstands His Highness the King of Yue's behavior and makes a mistake due to insufficient understanding. Judgment, that’s not good. This is why His Highness the King of Yue has been waiting for so long. I believe His Highness doesn’t want to be misunderstood, right?”

When Li Tai heard these words, he subconsciously leaned forward. He stared directly at Lin Feng, as if he had completely forgotten his anger towards Lin Feng just now, and said nervously: "What did Zhang Linzhu say?"

Before Lin Feng could speak, Li Tai continued: "Zhang Linzhu is the head of the East Palace family. He must say good things to the prince. Moreover, he doesn't like me and may deliberately discredit me. So Lin Sizheng, you have to be careful." , don’t believe anything he says!”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly after listening to Li Tai's words, and he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, does he think that Zhang Jialing must have said something bad about you?"

Li Tai was startled, and then his body suddenly retreated. The distance between him and Lin Feng was instantly widened. He held his hands in front of him and said, "I don't know what he said. It's just that I don't have a good relationship with him. I'm worried about him." In order to frame me, you deliberately spoke ill of me.”

He backed away, distanced himself from me, and still held his hands in front of him... This was an obvious defensive action, which meant that he was nervous and not calm when answering my questions.

In other words, Li Tai's answer was a lie!

In other words... he knew that Zhang Linzhu would definitely say bad things about him, but it was not because of a bad relationship between the two.

Lin Feng stared at Li Tai with his dark eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, His Highness the King of Yue. Zhang Jialing did not say anything bad about His Highness. He just truthfully told Xia Guan the details of His Highness the King of Yue's arrival."

"Didn't you say anything bad about me?" Li Tai couldn't help but look surprised, as if he didn't expect this at all.

Lin Feng took in the changes in Li Tai's expression and said: "However, I am not sure whether what Zhang Jialing said is the most detailed situation, so I would like to ask His Highness the King of Yue to explain in detail what happened the night before yesterday and why His Highness came here." East Palace, and everything that happened after arriving at East Palace.”

"Why did you come to the East Palace?"

Seeing Lin Feng's dark eyes staring at him, Li Tai subconsciously shifted his gaze a little and said, "Of course, my brother is ill for a long time. I am worried about my brother's condition and also worried that my brother has been boring in the East Palace, so I made a special trip to visit my brother."

"Why visit the night before yesterday? Not tonight, or the night before yesterday?" Lin Feng asked directly.

He found that Li Tai didn't have too much scheming and Chengfu. Maybe it was because Li Tai was still young and hadn't cultivated Chengfu yet. Maybe it was because Li Shimin's love for Li Tai meant that Li Tai lacked the environment to hide his thoughts. In short, Li Tai was better than Li Chengqian came, but he didn't have any plans yet.

Li Tai may not understand what he means by making subtle innuendoes, so he might as well ask directly and see how Li Tai will answer.

"what?"

When Li Tai heard Lin Feng's question, he seemed to have never expected that Lin Feng would ask such a question. This made him stunned, and his expression was frozen for a moment.

"What...is there any reason for this?"

Li Tai quickly put away his gaze, lowered his head and looked at his fingers, and said, "I suddenly want to visit my brother. Is there a problem?"

In a family that loves each other, it is only natural for the younger brother to visit his sick brother, but unfortunately, you do not love each other.

Moreover, when Li Tai heard his question, his expression was completely different from his previous reaction.

And the tone and content of the answer were a little erratic as when I answered my own question before.

What does this mean?
To explain other questions, Li Tai has thought about it many times in his mind and can answer it directly with his mouth. However, Li Tai never thought about this question and was suddenly attacked by himself, which exposed his true inner reaction.

The time when he came to visit Li Chengqian... there was indeed a problem!
