People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 274 Found the flaw! The dawn of the case!

At this moment, not to mention the other people who were rumored outside, even Lin Feng was more suspicious of Li Tai.

From Li Tai's reaction, Lin Feng could confirm that the time when Li Chengqian fell unconscious after he came to visit Li Chengqian was definitely not a coincidence.

And there are only two possibilities.

Or, someone had planned on Li Tai and asked Li Tai to come at this time, thereby being suspected of murdering Li Chengqian.

Or, it was simply Li Tai’s fault!
But now, Li Tai obviously has something to hide as to why he arrived at this time.

This made the suspicion that he was the murderer almost straight up.

After all, if he didn't do it, he had no reason to hide it.

But according to Lin Feng's previous inference, Li Tai should not be the murderer, but if that was the case, why did Li Tai hide it?
strange!
Li Shimin's family is strange.

Li Shimin was surprised, and Li Tai behaved abnormally.

Did he misjudge the weapon used by the Four Symbols organization against him, or was it Li Tai who was the problem, and did Li Tai have something to hide?

Lin Feng's thoughts were spinning, but he didn't show anything strange on the surface. His reasoning was in conflict, so he had to continue to dig deeper into Li Tai's information.

He nodded: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue cares about His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally he can come to visit His Highness the Crown Prince at any time. Then please tell His Highness the King of Yue what happened after you met His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Li Tai heard Lin Feng's words, he raised his head again and looked at Lin Feng. He relaxed his body and leaned back, resting his left elbow on the table and said: "Actually, there is nothing special. I am concerned about my brother's condition. I made a special trip to visit my brother, and because I was afraid that he would be too bored, I gave him a bird to relieve his boredom, and then I told him some interesting things that I had encountered recently, and ate some cakes, that's all."

Li Tai's movements were very relaxed... This meant that my questions had returned to the question bank he had prepared in advance. He looked calm and dared to look at me again, which showed that he was very confident in his answers and was not afraid of finding faults at all.

This was indeed the case. Li Tai's answer was completely consistent with Zhang Linzhu's words, and he really couldn't fault it.

But this does not mean that this is the case.

After all, Zhang Linzhu is the third party. When Li Tai communicated with Li Chengqian, his identity made him stand quietly in the distance. Therefore, Zhang Linzhu may not be able to communicate with Li Tai and Li Chengqian some of the eye contact, secret confrontation, and other small actions. Discover.

But Li Tai knew Zhang Linzhu's position and knew what Zhang Linzhu could find. In this case, Li Tai could naturally ensure that his answer would not be too different from Zhang Linzhu's.

Lin Feng finished interpreting Li Tai and already decided in his mind how to question Li Tai next.

Li Tai had two nights and one day to prepare the question bank. His brain had gone through the corresponding scenarios countless times, and he was prepared to deal with Li Shimin. Since he was sure that he could pass Li Shimin's test, he would naturally not show any fear when facing himself.

Therefore, if you want to dig deeper into the secrets of Li Tai, you must ask questions that Li Tai has not prepared in the question bank. Just like the question you just asked about the time, it should be unexpected. Only in this way can Li Tai reveal his flaws in a hurry.

Otherwise, Li Tai deliberately concealed it, and because of his noble status, the means he could use against him were extremely limited, and things would directly come to a standstill.

After thinking about this, Lin Feng's look at Li Tai became sharp. He suddenly took a step forward and put more pressure on Li Tai through his actions. At the same time, his tone of voice increased, increasing his momentum and majesty, and said: "I have a question, I would like to ask His Highness the King of Yue to clear up my doubts. His Highness the King of Yue said that in order to relieve His Highness the Crown Prince’s boredom, he sent a bird.”

"Then I want to know. The cry of the cuckoo bird is shrill, and the corner of its mouth is filled with blood. It has the meaning of the cuckoo crying for blood. It has been recorded in the Han and Jin Dynasties. His Royal Highness the King of Yue is so favored by His Majesty that He specially ordered the Confucian scholar to teach His Highness. I believe that His Highness cannot help but I know the meaning of the cuckoo bird, so..."

Lin Feng stared straight at Li Tai. Even though he was only a small fifth-grade Dali Temple Master with a huge gap in status from Li Tai, at this moment, he gave Li Tai a huge sense of oppression and made Li Tai subconsciously After swallowing and spitting, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded: "Such a bird with a bad meaning is given to a patient. What does this mean, Your Highness?"

"This king..."

Suddenly, Li Tai's pupils froze.

Lin Feng's question obviously exceeded his expectations once again.

Looking at Li Tai's astonished expression, Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that Li Tai must be ready to answer why he gave the cuckoo bird, and the best explanation for the reason is that he thought the cuckoo bird looked good. , had no idea that the cuckoo bird had such a bad connotation, so it was all a coincidence.

But that was not the answer Lin Feng wanted, so Lin Feng directly gave the meaning of the cuckoo bird first, and said that Li Tai was taught by a great scholar chosen by Li Shimin himself. It was impossible for him to not know this, thus blocking Li Tai's excuse. Q.

If Li Tai still says that he doesn't know, it means that he has not studied hard and does not value Li Shimin's thoughts. Once these words reach Li Shimin's ears, Li Shimin will definitely be disappointed in Li Tai.

Therefore, Li Tai had to decide whether to disappoint Li Shimin or find another reason.

The only prerequisite for Li Tai to be able to compete with Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's love for him, so Lin Feng believes that Li Tai will never dare to disappoint Li Shimin.

The moment he asked the question, Lin Feng already knew Li Tai's choice!
Seeing Li Tai hesitating and looking completely different from when he answered easily, the sharp-minded Sun Fujia's eyes suddenly flashed. If he hadn't understood the special nature of Lin Feng's question just now, now, through Li Tai reaction, he finally understood.

This made him look at Lin Feng, who looked majestic and stared directly at Li Tai, and then looked at Li Tai, who was obviously panicked and his eyes kept flickering, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The most amazing thing about Zide is that he can always create miracles in details that others can't do. It's impossible for His Highness the King of Yue not to have thought about this problem, but he definitely didn't expect that Zide was asking this question. When asking questions, the order will be reversed, so as to block his prepared answers in advance... The same question, but in a different order, but the result is that His Highness the King of Yue is in control of the situation, and Zide is in control of everything in an instant ”

Li Zhen, who had a resolute face and had been standing motionless like a spear since entering the hall, seemed to understand something at this time. This made him turn his head for the first time after entering the hall, and glanced at Lin Feng with surprise.

Lin Feng did not give Li Tai too much time to think. The more panicked Li Tai was, the less time he had to think, the more true information he would reveal. He once again added fuel to the fire, irritating Li Tai and said, "Why doesn't His Highness the King of Yue answer? I don’t know if His Royal Highness the King of Yue has heard the rumors outside. Many people outside now suspect that His Highness the Prince was murdered, and now His Highness the King of Yue has not answered. Is this really the case? Your Highness doesn’t know how to make up a reason? "

When Li Tai heard Lin Feng's words, he slapped the table and stood up instantly.

"Nonsense!"

His face turned red, and his eyes were full of anger as he stared at Lin Feng: "Slander! It's all slander! I didn't harm my brother at all! I didn't do this at all! It's all slander! It's all nonsense!"

Lin Feng was not frightened by Li Tai's anger. He took Li Tai's reaction into his eyes and said calmly: "Since His Highness said it was slander, why didn't His Highness answer my question?"

"Who says I won't answer!"

Li Tai stared closely at Lin Feng and said, "The gift of the cuckoo was a suggestion from one of my servants. He said that although the cuckoo has a bad connotation of crowing blood, there is also a king who is considerate and caring for the people. , a beautiful symbol of hard work and patriotism. As a prince, my brother will be a king in the future. Isn’t it okay for me to use this symbol to send him Du Juanniao?”

Listening to Li Tai's words, Lin Feng was slightly startled. He only knew the poem "The cuckoo sings and the blood ape mourns", but he really didn't know the other meanings of the cuckoo.

He glanced at Sun Fujia. Sun Fujia immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He whispered: "There is indeed such a legend in "Sichuan Chronicles". The emperor transformed into a Du Juan bird, shouting 'people are noble' every day, reminding The king must be considerate of the people and pay attention to the people’s hearts and opinions.”

It's really like this... Lin Feng couldn't help but squinted his eyes. He looked at Li Tai again, and saw Li Tai sneered, sat back down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

wrong!

Lin Feng's eyes flashed. If Li Tai's reason was true, he shouldn't have shown such panic just now.

There is no need for him to hide such a good reason!

Did this reason come to his mind at the last moment...or is it indeed a fact, but this fact is not the whole truth!

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai and said, "Who is the person who gave advice to His Highness the King of Yue?"

Li Tai looked unkind: "Just a little minion, Lin Si just wants to confirm whether the king is lying?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Of course I believe that His Highness the King of Yue will not lie, but the investigation is like this. Everything needs to be confirmed back and forth. I hope His Highness the King of Yue will understand."

Li Tai snorted coldly and said: "The young eunuch who has been serving me by my side is named Zhang Mo."

"Zhang Mo?" Lin Feng asked, "I wonder where he is?"

"Of course it's in Prince Yue's Mansion. Prince Yue's Mansion is being surrounded. Who else can come out except me, who was called here by you?"

Lin Feng nodded, turned his head to look at Li Zhen, and said, "Please, Li Qianniu ordered someone to bring Zhang Mo."

"A quarter of an hour at most, people will bring it."

Li Zhen didn't waste any time, turned around and strode out.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and waited for Zhang Mo to confirm the cuckoo matter. He looked at Li Tai again, changed the question and said: "When His Royal Highness the King of Yue met with His Highness the Crown Prince, did you have any direct physical contact?"

"physical contact?"

Li Tai shook his head: "No, after my brother and I met, we sat down separately. Even the things I gave to my brother were handed over to others."

There was no direct physical contact... and the food was prepared by people from the East Palace. Zhang Linzhu and others were also present at the time, so Li Tai had no chance to touch Li Chengqian's food.

Therefore, the only thing related to Li Tai that Li Chengqian could come into contact with personally was the cuckoo bird. Lin Feng asked directly: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes the bird His Royal Highness the King of Yue gave to His Highness the Crown Prince? Has he teased it?"

"Of course I like it, brother."

Li Tai showed a half-smiling expression and said: "After all, in the eyes of my father, my brother has always been very kind and gentle, and he is even more caring and caring towards us younger brothers. So how could he not accept the things I gave him?" like?"

Li Tai's words were a bit strange... Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood the implication of Li Tai's words. He meant that in order to act like a good brother in front of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian would show that he liked him even if he didn't like him.

As for Li Tai himself, he clearly didn't like Li Chengqian, but he also showed concern for his brother... This pair of brothers really cooperated with each other tacitly.

"So His Highness the Crown Prince teased the cuckoo bird?" Lin Feng asked.

Li Tai nodded casually and said: "Yes, after I took out the bird, my brother was very happy. While thanking me, he stretched out his hand to tease the bird and said he liked it very much. He also said that he would put it in his room specially. Accompany him in the bedroom."

"Put it in the dormitory?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, because when he went to see Li Chengqian, he went to the room that Li Shimin changed for Li Chengqian, not the original dormitory, so he didn't know that there was such a problem.

Did Li Chengqian really put that noisy bird into the bedroom?

At this time, Li Zhen returned, and Lin Feng asked Li Zhen directly: "Li Qianniu, in His Royal Highness the Prince's original bedroom, have you seen the cuckoo bird given by His Highness the King of Yue?"

Hearing this, Li Tai also looked at Li Zhen. He also wanted to know whether Li Chengqian was doing one thing on the surface or another behind the scenes, or if he really put it into the dormitory.

"There is indeed a cuckoo bird in His Royal Highness's bedroom." Li Zhen nodded under the gaze of the two people.

Li Chengqian was actually taken to the dormitory... and Li Chengqian fell unconscious in the dormitory. Is this related to the bird?
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Please Li Qianniu, please bring that bird."

But who would have expected that Li Zhen, who had always followed Lin Feng's orders without any hesitation, shook his head this time and said, "I can't bring him here."

"What?" Lin Feng was startled, and Li Tai looked at Li Zhen in confusion.

Then I heard Li Zhen say: "Shortly after His Highness the Prince fell into coma, the cuckoo bird jumped up and down in the cage, screaming as if it was frightened. Not long after, it suddenly closed its wings and died."

"Dead!?" Lin Feng frowned suddenly.

That bird was the only thing Li Chengqian came into contact with that was given to him by Li Tai. As a result, Li Chengqian brought it to the dormitory. Soon after, Li Chengqian fell unconscious in the dormitory. Not long after, the bird also died like crazy.

Is this too much of a coincidence?
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at Li Tai, and Sun Fuga and Li Zhen also focused on Li Tai at this time.

Li Tai, who was being watched by everyone, also changed his expression quickly. He said loudly: "What are you looking at me doing? I don't know why the bird suddenly went crazy and died? It was obviously still alive and kicking when I gave it to him!"

"This has nothing to do with me! My brother must have failed to take good care of it, otherwise it wouldn't have died at all!"

You want to say that you gave it to Li Chengqian a few days ago. Li Chengqian didn't take good care of the bird and the bird died. I can still accept it. But now, in less than two hours, Li Chengqian didn't even have time to raise it. So why don't you blame Li Chengqian? , it’s a bit too much.

Lin Feng thought for a while and asked Li Zhen: "You know so much in detail. Did you see it with your own eyes when the bird died?"

Li Zhen nodded: "At that time, we were searching His Royal Highness the Prince's bedroom to see if there was anything abnormal. It happened that the bird started screaming and flapping, so we followed the sound and looked over, and we happened to witness its madness and death."

Many people have seen it...then there is no possibility of anyone making up lies.

"Did anyone touch that bird before it went crazy?" Lin Feng asked again.

Li Zhen shook his head: "The general asked the people in the East Palace. They said that after His Royal Highness the King of Yue left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally took the birdcage to the dormitory. Since then, the birdcage has been placed there without anyone touching it, and we When searching the dormitory, everyone was scattered around, no one paid attention to a bird, and no one touched it before it went crazy. "

In other words, only Li Chengqian had contact with the cuckoo bird from beginning to end. There was no situation where anyone took the opportunity to do anything to the bird... Therefore, if the death of the bird is related to Li Chengqian's coma, then only Only the person who sent the bird can do it.

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai who pursed his lips, and subconsciously began to rub his fingers with his hands. This was a habitual movement of his brain rapidly turning.

He found that the more he learned about the case, the more strange things he discovered, and the greater Li Tai's suspicion became.

"Where is the bird's body?" Lin Feng asked Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said: "It was taken out and is currently being stored in the pavilion in the garden."

Lin Feng nodded: "I will go and see its body in person later."

After seeing too many human corpses, this was the first time he wanted to examine a bird's corpse, and he didn't know if he could find anything.

When Li Tai saw that Lin Feng was interested in the dead cuckoo, he knew that Lin Feng was suspecting that Li Chengqian's coma was related to the cuckoo. He finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to speak: "Lin Feng, you have to believe me. I am really related to the cuckoo." It doesn’t matter that my brother is in a coma. It really wasn’t me, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the bird I sent. Otherwise, I would have been in contact with it for a longer time, so why would I be fine and only my brother be?”

Seeing that Li Tai couldn't sit still, Lin Feng knew it was time to ask for more information, and he was about to speak...

"Li Qianniu, it's not good!"

But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came.

Then he saw a Qianniu guard rushing into the palace. He first saluted Li Tai, and then hurriedly said to Li Zhen: "Li Qianniu, please ask the general to go to the Yue Palace to bring Zhang Mo... Zhang Mo can't come. "

"What?" Li Tai was startled: "Can't come? Why can't he come? I'm here, why can't he come?"

Lin Feng looked at Qian Niuwei's panicked look, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and asked, "Did something happen to Zhang Mo?"

Hearing this, the Qianniu Guard nodded quickly: "Yes, there was an accident... He committed suicide."

"What!? Suicide?"

Li Tai was immediately confused: "How could he commit suicide? He was obviously fine before I came."

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"And not only did he commit suicide..."

Qian Niuwei took out a piece of paper from his arms. He looked at Li Tai carefully, then handed the paper to Li Zhen and said, "We also found this piece of paper on him. This piece of paper wrote His last words."

"Last words?"

Li Tai said; "What last words did he leave? Let me see."

With that said, he was about to step forward and take the paper.

But who knew that at the moment he was about to touch the paper, Li Zhen suddenly flashed and looked at Li Tai sharply. At the same time, the sword on his waist was half unsheathed and he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue wants to destroy the evidence." ?"

"What?" Li Tai was stunned.

Lin Feng saw the calm Li Zhen change his usual words and deeds, and his heart moved, and he said: "Li Qianniu, is there anything special written on this paper?"

Li Zhen took a deep breath, stared at Li Tai, and said: "It says on the paper... that the cuckoo bird was ordered by the King of Yue to find him. He also said that His Highness the King of Yue put some special powder on the bird. He didn't know it at the time. What His Royal Highness the King of Yue was going to do, he didn’t know until the news came that His Highness the Crown Prince was unconscious..."

Li Zhen paused for a moment before continuing: "It turns out that His Highness the King of Yue wants to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. As a close servant of His Highness the King of Yue, he has been favored by His Highness the King of Yue and cannot betray His Highness the King of Yue. However, he is loyal to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and he cannot just watch it. He concealed the truth because His Highness the Crown Prince was killed, so he could only repay the King of Yue with his own death, and then write the truth to repay His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Tai was stunned after listening to Li Zhen's words.

He was stunned for three breaths as if struck by lightning, then stood up suddenly, his face turned red and roared: "How dare a dog! This dog slave! How dare he frame this king!"

As he said that, Li Tai quickly looked at Lin Feng, without the arrogance from before. He said: "Lin Sizheng, you have to believe me, he is talking nonsense, he is framing me! I really didn't do it, I really No harm to my brother!"

Looking at Li Tai's angry and panic-stricken look, he recalled the extremely smooth process from the beginning of his investigation to the present, as well as the result that Zhang Mo and Cuckoo Bird were discovered to be abnormal, and both died in time. With these so-called last words like Jiyu... Lin Feng finally raised the corners of his mouth.

"I see."

"Li Tai is really a big gift from them!"

"It's a pity that they were so considerate in giving me gifts and prepared everything for me, but because of this... they finally showed their flaws!"
