People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 283 The truth is revealed! The real murderer is identified!
As Lin Feng's voice fell, the entire room suddenly fell into silence that could be heard.

Whether it was Li Tai, who was anxious to clear himself of suspicion, Li Zhen, who had always been calm and reserved, or Sun Fuga, who was experienced, all looked shocked at this moment and remained silent for a long time.

They thought they, like Lin Feng, had caught the biggest flaw in the real murderer's crime, but at this moment, under Lin Feng's constant reminders, they suddenly realized...the so-called biggest flaw turned out to be a fake!
When Zhang Mo was killed, he was wearing an undergarment. Even though he was later put on an outer robe by the real murderer, the area where the citrus juice was stained was on the clothes on the back of the shoulders. This position could only be reached by surrounding Zhang Mo from behind and cutting his throat. Otherwise, just change clothes, and when the real murderer is so careful to avoid leaving traces of himself, it is impossible to encounter him.

Therefore, the so-called biggest flaw was left deliberately by the real murderer. There is no doubt that its purpose... was to divert their attention and find a scapegoat for him.

And this scapegoat... everyone subconsciously raised their eyes and looked at He Meng who was tied to the pillar and kept shouting injustice. It was obvious that the scapegoat the real murderer was looking for was the only cook who could touch citrus!
No wonder He Meng keeps shouting about injustice. No wonder he has no backbone at all and still shouts about injustice even if the evidence is irrefutable... He is really wronged!
"how so……"

Li Tai's face was full of unwillingness to accept it. He kept shaking his head, and his whole body was shocked: "The person we have worked hard to screen out turned out to be the scapegoat specially selected by the real murderer. …Then we have done everything in vain again? What have we been busy with for so long?”

As Li Shimin's favorite son, Li Tai has never hit a wall since he was a child. At this time, he was plotted by the real murderer one after another, and his efforts were proved to be wrong in the end. This made him completely helpless after suffering losses. Accepting it, I was almost depressed.

Li Zhen, who had always behaved very calmly, was frowning at this time and his face was very heavy. It was obvious that even though he was not as depressed as Li Tai, he still felt the huge pressure. The cunning and cunning of this real murderer, It was something he had never encountered before, and he had no idea how to find out the real murderer who was more cunning than a fox.

"Who said we did everything in vain?"

But at this time, Lin Feng's chuckle suddenly sounded.

"what?"

Everyone was startled by Lin Feng's calm tone, and they subconsciously shifted their attention from He Meng back to Lin Feng.

Then they heard Lin Feng smile meaningfully: "You don't really think that since I already knew that He Meng was wronged, I still let you go to great lengths to investigate, just to help the real murderer play tricks on us and find torture for myself." Bar?"

Sun Fujia and Lin Feng had a very tacit understanding. Now when he heard Lin Feng's words and recalled that Lin Feng had said some profound words when he was in Zhang Mo's room, he couldn't help but think: "Could it be..."

He quickly said: "Zide, do you already know who the real murderer is?"

"What!? Lin Sizheng knows who the real murderer is?"

When Li Tai and Li Zhen heard this, they couldn't help but look surprised.

real or fake?

They had been following Lin Feng to investigate. They knew everything Lin Feng saw and every word he heard. However, they were completely deceived by the real murderer... but Lin Feng actually knew who the real murderer was? Are you kidding me?
Lin Feng glanced at the faces of Li Tai and others, and he quickly understood their thoughts. He smiled softly and said slowly: "First of all, the screening I asked you to carry out was not really based on the intentions of the real murderer. You all know these screening conditions. There is nothing wrong with them. They are indeed directly related to the real murderer. "

"Even if it's citrus juice, it's not really a big problem."

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Lin Sizheng, didn't you just say that the citrus juice was deliberately used by the real murderer to frame He Meng and mislead us? Why are you saying now that there is no big problem?"

Li Zhen also nodded subconsciously.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "It is true that the citrus juice on Zhang Mo's outer robe was indeed used by the real murderer to frame He Meng... But don't forget the screening conditions I gave you. I asked you to investigate. In fact, it’s not about who used the citrus today, but who brought the citrus to Prince Yue’s Mansion during this period, and who had access to the citrus.”

"Is there any difference?" Li Tai didn't understand what Lin Feng meant, but Li Zhen's eyes flashed. He was the one who did this, so he knew the situation of his investigation better than Li Tai. Listening to Lin Feng's words at this moment, He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, or that he had used his intelligence in the wrong place.

"Lin Si is exactly saying... I went further to investigate and investigate who touched and used tangerines today. In fact, I fell into the real murderer's trick. Shouldn't I have taken it upon myself to further investigate?"

"What? Is this still wrong?" Li Tai was startled.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue only cares that the citrus juice is used by the real murderer to deceive us, but ignores the existence of citrus juice, which itself represents one thing..."

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai and said slowly: "That means that since the real murderer can use citrus juice to frame He Meng, it means that he must also be hiding citrus. But as we learned before, the rules of the Yue Palace are very strict. Anyone who enters Prince Yue's Mansion must be searched. The real culprit will never be able to secretly bring tangerines in. Therefore, we will definitely be able to find out the records of the citrus brought into Prince Yue's Mansion. "

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at Li Zhen, who was looking deep in thought, and continued: "Li Qianniu's starting point actually has no problem. You want to help me locate the real culprit more accurately and reduce the number of things that may affect my judgment." The number of suspects is correct...it's just that the real murderer was too cunning, which led Li Qianniu to go astray. "

"What I want is not at all who used tangerines today, but who brought tangerines into Prince Yue's palace. As long as this is known, it is impossible for the real culprit to escape from this range."

Li Tai reacted for a long time before finally understanding what Lin Feng meant. He nodded quickly: "I see...but..."

He frowned again and said: "The results of our investigation have no problem with Li Qianniu. In the past month, the only ones who brought citrus into the Yue Prince's Mansion were the kitchen staff, and after a month, the citrus was completely dry. There won’t be that much juice to use, so isn’t it the same thing?”

"Who said the same thing?"

Lin Feng slowly shook his head and said calmly: "Li Qianniu's result is that the only person who used citrus today is He Meng! But if you follow my request, the result should be the citrus purchased by the steward of the kitchen, and then Send it to the kitchen and hand it over to He Meng."

"In other words, according to my requirements, there are two people who meet the screening conditions. These two people are..."

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai and said, "He Meng, the cook, and the kitchen manager in charge of purchasing!"

Brush it!
As Lin Feng finished speaking, before Li Tai could react, Li Zhen turned his head instantly and looked at the crowd in the yard who were pointing here. He quickly scanned the crowd, then fixed his gaze and said: "Wu OK, bring the kitchen manager!"

Wu Cheng had long been shocked by Lin Feng's reasoning process. When he heard this, he rushed into the crowd without saying a word.

Not long after, Wu Cheng brought in a slightly fat middle-aged man with two Qianniu Guards.

"Lin Sizheng, this is Lu Heze, the chef in charge of the palace."

Wu Cheng introduced the people he brought to Lin Feng.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue...what is going on? The villain has done nothing. His Highness the King of Yue has to make the decision for the villain."

As soon as Lu Heze was brought into the room, he quickly spoke nervously to Li Tai.

Seeing Lu Heze's confused look, Li Tai couldn't help but think of his misunderstanding about He Meng. He said, "Lin Sizheng, are you really right? The real murderer is really Lu Heze? Although Lu Heze is not as honest as He Meng, he is also A conscientious person, he has never made a mistake during his years as a kitchen manager."

"What!? The real murderer!?"

When Lu Heze heard Li Tai's words, he screamed in surprise. He quickly shook his head and said, "It's unfair. The villain is wronged. Your Highness, you have to make the decision for the villain."

Hearing Lu Heze's cry of injustice, Li Tai was afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. He couldn't help but said: "Lin Si Zheng, don't let the real murderer play tricks on you again."

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai's worried look, and then looked at Lu Heze who kept complaining to Li Tai, and suddenly laughed and said: "Manager Lu, you are very smart. You know that the most innocent person in our room is His Highness the King of Yue, so when you come in, you don’t cry out to the Qianniu Guards who caught you, or to me, the Dali Temple leader who is responsible for investigating the case, but you just keep complaining to His Highness the King of Yue.”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Tai's eyes couldn't help but change.

Lin Feng, what does this mean? What does it mean to be simple? Doesn't it mean that Lu Heze thinks that he is the stupidest, so he is trying to trick him!
He looked at Lu Heze and his expression quickly turned cold: "Lu Heze, is this really like this?"

Lu Heze's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly shook his head: "Unjust! Your Highness, I am really unjust! I don't know what's going on now, and I don't know who is really guilty or not."

"You do not know?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "Then can you tell me, in the entire Yue Prince's Palace, besides you and He Meng, who else can touch tangerines?"

"This..." Lu Heze hesitated for a moment, then said immediately: "The tangerines are not locked with a special lock. They are just placed in the warehouse of the back kitchen. It stands to reason that any cook in the back kitchen will have the opportunity to come into contact with the citrus."

"A very rigorous answer." Lin Feng nodded and continued: "But we have carefully counted the citrus, and there is nothing missing... If other cooks in the back kitchen stole it, there is no way there is no shortage of citrus."

Lu Heze said quickly: "Then the same goes for me? There is no shortage of citrus, which proves that no one has stolen it, so I can't steal it! Why does Lin Sizheng insist on holding on to me? Could it be that the villain is somewhere? Have you ever offended Lin SiZheng?"

"You don't have to try to fabricate non-existent conflicts between you and me to divert our attention... If this happened to other people, you might still be able to succeed, but if it happens to me, you can ask His Highness the King of Yue, Will he believe you or me?"

There was no need for Lu Heze to speak. As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Tai's voice rang out: "I naturally believe in Lin Si Zheng."

Lin Feng really wanted to help him clear away the suspicion, and Lin Feng's character and principles were obvious to everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty. In addition, Lu Heze was indeed suspicious... Li Tai just experienced less things and had simpler ideas. But it doesn't mean that he is stupid and can't tell who is more trustworthy.

Lu Heze's expression suddenly froze.

Lin Feng continued: "In addition, you are different from others."

Lu Heze stared at Lin Feng closely and heard Lin Feng slowly say: "As the citrus is delivered to the kitchen, after the kitchen counts it, the other cooks really have no chance to secretly take the citrus without being discovered, but you different……"

Lin Feng's eyes were dark and deep. He looked at Lu Heze calmly, giving Lu Heze a feeling as if all the secrets deep in his heart had been spied on. This made him look shocked, and he subconsciously looked away, not daring to talk to Lin Feng at all. Look at each other.

"Those citrus were purchased by you. Although it is said that you will be searched when you enter Prince Yue's Mansion, the guards will only search what you brought into Prince Yue's Mansion, but they will not count how many citrus you brought into Prince Yue's Mansion. Yue Wangfu."

"In other words, you can definitely buy more citrus than the chef requires. The guards will not know that you have purchased more than the chef requires..."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Lu Heze subconsciously clenched his hands, and the sweat on his forehead began to fall unconsciously.

Lin Feng looked at Lu Heze, who had a flashing expression and no longer dared to look directly at him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and he said slowly: "Then, from the time you enter the back door of Prince Yue's Mansion to the time you arrive in the kitchen, during this period, as long as you are willing, I think it won’t be difficult for you to secretly hide a few tangerines in your clothes.”

"Finally, as long as you can ensure that the number of citrus left after you secretly hide it is exactly the same as the request given to you by the chef, no one will know that in the huge Yue Prince's Mansion, besides the chef, there is you... Also has citrus!”

"In this case, your citrus and the citrus in the kitchen are two completely unrelated things, so whether the citrus in the kitchen is lost has nothing to do with you? How can you and those cooks be the same thing? Woolen cloth?"

"So there is still such a way..."

When Li Tai heard Lin Feng's words, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Why didn't I think of this?"

He quickly looked at Lu Heze and shouted: "Lu Heze, are you really hiding tangerines in this way, as Lin Sizheng said?"

When Lu Heze heard this, he quickly shook his head: "No! Your Highness, you have to believe the villain. Even if the method Lin Sizheng said can really be achieved, the villain has never done it!"

"have never done it?"

Lin Feng laughed, looked at Lu Heze, and said with a faint smile: "Lu Heze, you were not in the room just now, so you probably don't know that the moment I discovered the citrus juice stained on Zhang Mo's clothes, I actually The officer already knew that it was used to frame others."

"You are very smart. You know that once I find out that Zhang Mo was framed, I will definitely find out how to find you out. So you made a plan based on the fact that His Highness the King of Yue likes to eat citrus cakes and has formed a fixed frequency habit. The plan to frame He Meng is to try to draw my attention to He Meng so that you can get away with it.”

Lu Heze listened to Lin Feng's words and shook his head vigorously: "No...I didn't. Lin Sizheng, even if you are a famous detective, you can't wrongly accuse a good person like this!"

"I neither stole the tangerines nor framed He Meng... And there is no evidence for what you said, Lin Sizheng. You can't find a single tangerine on me. You can't accuse me unjustly!"

“Injustice to a good man?”

Lin Feng shook his head slowly. He looked at Lu Heze with a deep look on his face and said, "What I just said was not to show off to you how smart I am. I can see through your tricks at a glance."

"I just want to tell you..."

There were more and more beads of sweat on Lu Heze's forehead. He looked at Lin Feng nervously and heard Lin Feng slowly say: "...Since I have already seen through your trick, I still followed your plan and found He Meng. It almost scared He Meng to death, what do you think is my purpose for doing this?"

Lu Heze shook his head subconsciously.

Lin Feng laughed and said: "As you just said, you said that I have no evidence...So, even if I follow your idea and focus on He Meng, I still have no evidence. So if you really want to If He Meng becomes your scapegoat, you must let me have the evidence, and it must be solid evidence!"

Suddenly, at this moment, as Lin Feng said these words, Lu Heze seemed to finally realize something, which made his pupils shrink suddenly and his expression completely changed.

Seeing Lu Heze's changed expression, Lin Feng smiled and said, "It seems you finally understand."

"Understand what?" Li Tai looked confused.

Obviously he could understand every word Lin Feng said, but when they were put together, he could hear them all.

What did Lu Heze understand?

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai's blank expression and chuckled: "Your Highness, you might as well think about why we just concluded that He Meng was the real murderer."

"Needless to say, of course it was the paper Zhang Mo used that was found in his room, as well as the wooden board used to forge the suicide note."

Lin Feng nodded and continued to be persuasive: "Then think about it again, Your Highness, He Meng was wronged, so his words are worthy of trust, so... He Meng said that he has always stayed in the room and never left. However, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.”

"Since he never left, how did the real murderer hide these papers and the board with the forged suicide note in his room?"

"This……"

Li Tai frowned, but before he could figure it out, Li Zhen's voice suddenly sounded: "There is only one possibility...the real murderer hid these things before He Meng entered the room!"

Li Tai was stunned: "Before He Meng entered the room?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Li Qianniu is quick in thinking. Yes, as Li Qianniu said, it is impossible for the real murderer to secretly stuff these papers and boards under the quilt while He Meng was still resting in the room. without being discovered by He Meng.”

"Then, if he wants to do this, he can only do it when He Meng is not in the room, that is, before He Meng returns to the room."

"However, Your Highness must pay attention to the time... The time when He Meng was in the room happened to be the time when Zhang Mo was killed. At that time, the real murderer wanted to ensure that the suicide note had just been written, but the tools for making the suicide note were still in his hands... In this case, how could the real murderer hide the tools in He Meng's room in advance? "

Li Tai felt that he understood somewhat, but not completely.

He nodded and frowned: "It's true that we can't hide it anymore, but we did find the tools in He Meng's room."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Then there is only one possibility."

"What?" Li Tai subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.

Then Lin Feng turned his attention to Lu Heze again. Seeing Lu Heze's pale and frightened face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said slowly: "That's... the tool for making a suicide note. There are two copies! One of them was hidden by him in advance. In He Meng's room, it was used to frame He Meng, and the other..."

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, and Lu Heze raised his head to look at Lin Feng in horror, and heard Lin Feng's voice continue to sound: "It's still in your hands, Manager Lu!"
