People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 290 Reasoning! The suspect surfaced!

Sun Fujia and Lin Feng had enough tacit understanding. At this moment, when he saw Lin Feng looking in the direction of the palace door, with the corners of his mouth raised, and his face showing the expression of being in control of everything in the past, he was moved in his heart, and he quickly said: " Zide, did you find anything?"

After hearing Sun Fuga's words, Xiao Man'er was the first to show an expectant look, followed closely by Li Taijingci and others, who quickly looked at Lin Feng.

"The one who knows me is Dr. Sun."

Lin Feng smiled and saw him coming directly to the door, and then took off the lock on the door.

Lin Feng's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the locks in his hands that were filled with the vicissitudes of time and had become much lighter in color due to the weather and sun.

The reason why he had never thought about the lock before was because when he came here, the first thing he checked was the lock. He did not see the key at that time, and he did not know that the key was very worn, and the surface of the lock was It also seemed to be completely consistent with the situation that it had been used for many years, and there were no signs of prying on the surface of the lock. The entire lock had obviously not been damaged... All of this made the lock look normal, which made Lin Feng It was determined that the thief did not break in by picking the lock, so he did not think about the lock issue again.

But who would have known that this lock, which seemed to have nothing unusual, would actually deceive himself.

If he hadn't recollected every detail of what he saw and cross-checked all the clues he got, he might still have been kept in the dark.

"Zide, what happened to the lock?" Sun Fujia came to Lin Feng's side and watched Lin Feng look at the lock in his hand with a meaningful look, and couldn't help but curiously asked.

Hearing this, Lin Feng raised his eyes to look at Sun Fujia and said, "What do Mr. Sun think of this lock?"

"How about the lock?"

Sun Fujia carefully looked at the lock in Lin Feng's hand, frowned and said, "There doesn't seem to be any trace of violence on the surface of the lock, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"All of us have been deceived by empiricism. When a thief steals something, the first thing he thinks of is to either steal the key or violently pick the lock. He never thinks that the lock is no longer the original lock..."

Lin Feng nodded. He turned to look at Jingci and said, "Master, do you think there is anything wrong with this lock?"

Jingci didn't understand Lin Feng's intention, but still looked at it carefully, and then said without certainty: "There is no problem."

Master Jingci did not recognize that the lock had been changed. Was it because the thief placed a lock that looked the same, or...

Lin Feng said: "Master, I wonder if this lock is any different from other locks in your Buddhist temple?"

Master Jingci shook her head: "Our locks were all replaced five years ago. All the locks have the same style, but these locks will be hung on the palace door and cannot be taken off, and the keys will also be separated. Place it so there won’t be any problems.”

Sure enough... the lock is not special, and it is purchased from the same batch and the same style, which means that even if other locks are replaced, Jingci and the others will not know that the lock has been changed.

But the lock in front of me should not be the lock of other palace doors... After all, its keyhole is too new, and it has obviously not been used a few times. It seems that the thief who stole the red sandalwood beads has prepared this special lock in advance. No matter where Master Jingci puts the red sandalwood cloud beads, this lock can be used, after all, all locks have the same style.

Therefore...even if the red sandalwood cloud bead was temporarily changed by Master Jingci, it would not affect the thief's actions at all.

"But, there is a prerequisite for this..."

Lin Feng thought for a while, then he suddenly locked the lock, then looked at Master Jingci and said, "Master, please lend me the key."

"Okay." Jingci naturally did not hesitate, and she quickly handed the key to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng picked up the badly worn key and inserted it into the keyhole. He turned it lightly and heard a crisp "click" sound. The lock tongue bounced open and the lock was easily opened.

Lin Feng took out the key and locked it again. He then looked around at everyone and said, "I wonder which of you has a key on you?"

"key?"

Sun Fujia took out a key from his arms and said, "This is me?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's right."

With that said, he took Sun Fujia's key and inserted the key directly into the keyhole without any pause.

Seeing Lin Feng's strange behavior, Sun Fujia couldn't help but said: "Zide, do you want to use it to open the lock? But my key is to open the lock of the bedroom in my house, and it is impossible to open other locks -"

click!
But who would have thought that before Sun Fuga could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of the lock tongue popping open.

Then his eyes widened, and Li Taijingci and others who were watching were also stunned.

"The lock...is open!?" Li Tai couldn't help but exclaimed: "You opened it without even using any force? Isn't this key the key to Dr. Sun's house? How can you open this lock?"

Sun Fujia was also a little confused: "Is my key so powerful?"

Listening to everyone's exclamations, Lin Feng didn't look surprised at all, as if he had expected this to happen.

He took out the key smoothly, then placed the two keys in front of everyone, and said: "Everyone, these two keys are completely different, but they can both open this lock. What does this mean?"

Li Tai blinked his confused eyes and guessed: "One lock with two keys, does it mean that this lock wants three wives and four concubines?"

Lin Feng: "...Your Highness is really a clever guy."

He ignored Li Tai's unique brain circuit and said to everyone: "It means there is something wrong with this lock."

"something is wrong?"

Jingci quickly said: "What's the problem? Is the lock broken?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's not broken. After all, it hasn't been used much."

"You haven't used it much?" Jingci said, "We use it every day, how could it be that we haven't used it much?"

"Yes, Master Jingci uses it every day, and the keys are worn until they are shiny, but why..."

Lin Feng turned the lock over in his hand, pointed the keyhole at everyone, and said, "The keyhole has no scratches and is as bright as new?"

"What!? The keyhole is as bright as new?"

Sun Fujia had the fastest reaction. Combined with Lin Feng's words, he understood what Lin Feng meant the first moment he saw the keyhole.

"That's it...that's it!" He finally understood.

Li Zhen and Xiao Man'er were a little later than Sun Fujia, but they soon showed expressions of enlightenment.

"So this is how the thief entered!" Xiao Man'er murmured to herself.

Only Li Tai was still grabbing his hair, feeling that everyone around him was the Riddler, and they were all bullying him for not being so smart... He couldn't help but said: "Lin Si Zheng, please tell me clearly, what is going on?"

Lin Feng saw that not only Li Tai didn't understand, but many nuns also looked confused. He stopped trying to be pretentious and said directly: "The keys are so badly worn, how can the keyhole be as bright as new? So it's obvious... this The lock is not the original lock of this Buddhist temple at all, it has been secretly replaced by thieves. "

"What? The lock was replaced?" Li Tai looked surprised.

The nuns also exclaimed again and again.

"The lock was replaced?"

"When did this happen?"

"I don't know at all."

Jingci also had an expression of disbelief. She stared blankly at the lock in Lin Feng's hand, trying her best to recall the difference between this lock and the lock in her memory, but she didn't notice any difference between them at all. She didn't know anything at all. The lock is no longer the original lock.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "Through the experiment just now, we can know that this lock is different from ordinary locks. Any key that can be inserted can open it. Therefore, the thief only needs to find it." By unknowingly changing the lock of the original Buddhist temple, she doesn't need to steal Master Jingci's key. She can open the door of the Buddhist temple at any time as long as she wants to. "

"And the lock of this Buddhist temple..." His eyes swept across the nuns in Banyue'an, and finally fell on Master Jingci, and said: "Because all of you in Banyue'an know that the key is only in the hands of Master, so they You will never use other keys to open the lock. Likewise, after you arrive, Master Jingci, and you use your own key to open the lock, you will also not think about whether there are other keys that can open the lock. "

"Therefore, even if this lock is replaced by a thief, the thief does not have to worry about being exposed. After all, others will not try with other keys, and you, Master, will not doubt it. So who would know that there is something wrong with this lock? Who could have known it had been replaced?"

After listening to Lin Feng's story, everyone looked at the lock in Lin Feng's hand, and their hearts were very complicated.

Is it complicated for thieves to change locks?
Obviously, it's not complicated at all.

But even this extremely simple method hid it from everyone.

Sun Fujia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The thief calculated people's hearts very well. She took everyone's reactions into consideration, so she could make such a simple method work wonders."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "The simpler the method, the easier it is for people to ignore it. She just takes advantage of our inertial thinking, allowing us to selectively ignore the lock problem."

Sun Fujia nodded in agreement.

Li Tai looked left and right, and finally understood the ins and outs of everything. He couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that we would be deceived by a lock, but there is nothing special about this lock. Even if we know the thief Even if the locks are changed, the thief still can’t be found, right?”

"That's not necessarily the case."

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

Jingci took a step forward and said anxiously: "Lin Sizheng, is that what you mean?"

Facing Jing Ci's nervous and expectant eyes, Lin Feng said slowly: "I have been thinking about one thing just now. Judging from what the thief did that night, her time is very tight and she cannot waste any time. So since she When Fahui stole the red sandalwood cloud beads while she was asleep, she should leave immediately, so why did she try to hide her method of entering the Buddhist temple? "

"Isn't she afraid that Fahui will wake up in the middle? Isn't she afraid of being encountered by patrollers? Isn't she afraid that the red sandalwood cloud beads will be found missing before they are sent out? Once any link appears in the middle If a problem arises, she will immediately fall into a passive position, or even be directly exposed.”

"So her actions were clearly inconsistent with her purpose and the circumstances of that night."

After everyone heard the words, they thought about it carefully, and then they all nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's words.

Based on the situation that night, it is true that the more time the thief delays, the more danger he will have. Moreover, the thief hiding her entry into the Buddhist temple will not prolong the time for the red sandalwood cloud beads to be lost and discovered. As long as Fa Hui wakes up, she will naturally They immediately checked the situation of the red sandalwood cloud beads, so what the thieves did was indeed meaningless to them.

"Then why is she still doing this?" Li Tai couldn't help but ask.

Lin Feng did not give in and directly stated the conclusion: "I have two guesses, but one of them has been eliminated by me, so only the last one is left."

"what?"

"The method used by the thief is very special. Once discovered by us, she will be in danger of being exposed!"

Lin Feng looked at the lock in his hand and said, "And this lock happens to fit the reason I guessed."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's eyes fell on Jingci and said, "The nun decided to change the location of the red sandalwood cloud beads after the Jinyun cassock was lost. That is to say, before that, the thieves could not have replaced the lock of this Buddhist temple in advance."

"But after the master moved the red sandalwood beads here, he started to put people on guard. During the day, everyone was there. The thieves would never dare to come and change the locks in broad daylight. But at night, there were people who kept If she is on duty, she will have no chance."

"But the fact now is that the lock has been changed. Master, how do you think the thief changed it?"

Jingci can become the head of Banyue Nunnery because of her profound Buddhist teachings, but more importantly, her own ability. She may not have as much experience as Lin Feng and Sun Fuga in investigating cases, but she is definitely quick-witted. She is in front of Lin Feng at the moment. After giving some foreshadowing and reminders, Jingci thought for a moment and finally understood what Lin Feng meant.

This made her expression suddenly extremely complicated, with a contradictory look of not wanting to believe it, but having to believe it. She said in a heavy voice: "During the day, there are people keeping watch, and there are believers walking back and forth. The thieves will never dare to do it in full view of the public. Changing the door lock secretly, so her only chance to change the door lock is..."

Taking a deep breath, Jingci said complexly: "At night."

"night?"

Li Tai frowned after listening to Jingci's words: "But didn't you just say that there are people on duty at night?"

Lin Feng saw that Li Tai was stabbing Master Jingci's heart, so he quickly took over the conversation and said, "Your Highness, don't you understand yet? Why did the thief conceal her method of entering the Buddhist temple? Because this would expose the lock, and When the lock is exposed, we will naturally think about when and how she changed the lock. "

"As the teacher said, she would never dare to do it during the day, so she could only do it at night. But there are people on duty at night, and we haven't heard anyone on duty say anything about the lock, so the only possibility is , there is only one..."

As he spoke, Lin Feng glanced directly at the group of nuns behind Jingci, and said slowly: "The person who changes the lock is the person on duty at night! Only the person on duty can change the lock without anyone noticing. , without anyone knowing about it!”

"what?"

"The person on duty!?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. Li Tai and others quickly looked at the nuns, and the nuns in Banyue Nunnery were also full of shock. It was obvious that they had never thought that the thieves would actually He's the one on duty these days.

Jinglan couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, are you really sure? Is the thief really hiding among the people on duty? The people we can arrange to be on duty are the people we trust most."

Although she has a more impulsive and violent temper, she is actually cold-faced and warm-hearted, and she takes great care of and trusts her disciples. Now that she heard that the thief was hiding among the people on duty, her most trusted disciple, she couldn't accept it at all.

Lin Feng faced Jinglan's unbelievable look and said slowly: "We are reasoning from the lock problem to the person on duty step by step. Master Jinglan may think that the process in between is inappropriate or far-fetched. Where?”

Jinglan frowned, she was silent for a long time, then shook her head: "No."

"besides……"

Lin Feng continued: "I just said that the thief must hide the method of entering the Buddhist temple even if he takes huge risks, because once the method she uses is exposed, it will directly lead to her exposure. In other words, she will also be exposed. The method used cannot be used by everyone, only she can use it... and according to our analysis, only the person on duty can do it, which is consistent with my inference just now. "

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Jinglan closed her eyes in pain.

Even if she didn't want to accept it, she knew it was the truth.

Lin Feng cross-verified this matter from two aspects, which is enough to prove everything.

Seeing that Jinglan no longer refuted, Lin Feng looked at Jingci again. He said to Jingci, whose face was complicated, sad and disappointed, "I wonder who is on duty?"

Jingci took a deep breath, looked at the disciples with complex eyes, remained silent for a while, and then said: "Because the time is not long, there are not many people on duty. Counting Fahui, there are only three people."

"Three people?"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered and he said slowly: "Then please ask the master to call the three of them out. If nothing else, the thief... is among the three of them."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia and Xiao Man'er couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw joy in each other's eyes. The scope of the suspects was confirmed, which meant that Lin Feng had taken the most difficult step.

With Lin Feng's ability, as long as he knows who the suspects are, he is definitely not far away from finding the real thief.

Li Tai, on the other hand, had a completely different look.

His eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but whisper to Li Zhen: "This is too amazing, how long has it been? A case in which nuns like Jingci couldn't find any clues for more than ten days , Lin Feng actually found all the suspects... They are really not human. "

"Your Highness, be careful what you say."

Li Zhen, as calm as ever, reminded Li Tai: "As a prince, His Highness represents the royal family in every word and deed. You must speak calmly and carefully."

"calm?"

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhen and said, "I saw your eyes widened just now, with shock and excitement on your face. You were obviously more shocked by Lin Feng than I was. Don't tell me that I was wrong." Yes, my eyes are very good."

Li Zhen's whole body froze, and his calm expression froze for a moment. He looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai stared at him. The two of them stared at each other. After a moment, Li Zhen turned around silently, with a dark face. Piping hot.

He couldn't answer Li Tai. After all, he really didn't expect that Lin Feng would break through such an unsolvable situation in this way. How long has it been since he not only cracked the thief's technique, but even the thief's range? It was reduced to three people. His Royal Highness the King of Yue was right... Lin Feng was really not a human being, he was a monster!
