People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 292 revealed! Stealer's identity! The crushing of wisdom!
"The third question..."

Li Tai looked at Lin Feng in confusion: "Have you ever received pilgrims?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

"The reception of pilgrims has nothing to do with the loss of the red sandalwood beads, right? The red sandalwood beads were lost at night, not during the day." Li Tai racked his brains and couldn't figure out the purpose of Lin Feng's question. .

Lin Feng met Li Tai's puzzled gaze and said slowly: "Your Highness should know that the red sandalwood cloud beads have been transported out of Banyue An by thieves, and they should have been transported out that night."

"But it was raining heavily that night, and the thief didn't have much time. He hadn't left Banyue Nunnery yet. So, Your Highness, how do you think the thief got the red sandalwood beads out?"

Li Tai reacted quickly this time and said, "Of course, if she can't send it out herself, someone will definitely come to pick it up."

"Your Highness means that someone will take care of you, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded and continued: "Then Your Highness thinks that if the thief's accomplices want to respond, will he go to respond on the night of the operation, or will he wait outside every day? Be ready to respond at all times?"

Li Tai frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I should go to respond on the night of the operation. I'll wait every day. Who knows when I can steal the beads? And I'll go every day, so I won't be afraid of being discovered."

Lin Feng smiled and agreed: "Your Highness has the same idea as me, but there is another reason for my judgment."

"Another reason?" Li Tai asked curiously: "My reasons are not comprehensive enough? What other reasons can there be?"

Lin Feng smiled and explained his reason: "No matter who the thief is among the three Fahui, she has been hiding in Banyue Nunnery for a long time. If she only came to Banyue Nunnery simply to steal the red sandalwood cloud beads, An, it is impossible to wait until Master Jingci is very cautious before taking action. He must have stolen it long ago. After all, before the Jinyun cassock was lost, there was no one to guard the red sandalwood beads at night. It would be very difficult to steal them. , it can also be said that there is basically no difficulty.”

"But she didn't steal early or late, but she stole when the guard was the tightest. This was obviously the worst time to choose, but she just did it. There is no doubt that there must be something special about her doing this. reason."

"Also, let's think about it again. As soon as the red sandalwood cloud bead is thrown away, the poison of the golden bead hidden in the royal secret collection appears. What does this mean?"

Li Tai and others frowned and began to think. At this time, Sun Fujia's heart moved and he said: "It means that after the thief obtained the red sandalwood cloud beads, he quickly found the royal secret treasure through the red sandalwood cloud beads."

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes! But I have seen the red sandalwood cloud beads in person and studied them carefully once, but to be honest with you, I have no clue at all."

"Lin Sizheng has studied it, but he still has no clue?" Li Tai couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Monsters like you can't discover the secrets in the red sandalwood cloud beads. How did they discover it?"

monster?

Lin Feng glanced at Li Tai and continued: "The red sandalwood cloud beads have been in Banyue'an for more than a hundred years. So many people in Banyue'an have seen them, but they have not studied them clearly. This is enough to explain the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads. It’s very deep and can’t be cracked easily.”

"But as soon as the red sandalwood cloud beads were sent away by the thief, the thief found the royal secret and took out the contents... Combined with the fact that the thief had been hiding in Banyue Nunnery for several years or even more than ten years, he stole the red sandalwood cloud beads here where he should not have been. I think there can only be one explanation for stealing the red sandalwood cloud beads."

Everyone quickly looked at Lin Feng and heard Lin Feng say in a deep voice: "As expected, the thief must have been secretly studying the red sandalwood cloud beads these years. Just recently, he solved the mystery of the red sandalwood cloud beads, and the red sandalwood cloud beads are pregnant with The royal secret is not a secret. There are many people who know it and many people who care about it, such as me... So, after cracking the secret of the red sandalwood cloud bead, she was afraid that the red sandalwood cloud bead would be taken away by others, so she decided to Acted when you least should have acted.”

When he said this, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looked at each other, and Sun Fujia quickly understood what Lin Feng meant.

Sun Fujia knew that behind the thief was the Four Elephant Organization, and the Four Elephant Organization had been fighting with Lin Feng. They knew Lin Feng's abilities very well. Therefore, Lin Feng not only knew about the existence of the red sandalwood cloud beads, but also studied them specifically. This was absolutely This made the Sixiang organization tremble with fear, fearing that the red sandalwood cloud beads would be snatched away by Lin Feng.

Therefore, after they cracked the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads, how could they dare to delay any longer? Not to mention that it was only these nuns who were protecting it. I was afraid that even if they were protected by the imperial army, they would still have to steal it. After all, they would not steal it while Lin Feng was away. If they leave, Lin Feng may ruin their plan again.

Thinking about this, Sun Fujia was almost certain that the facts must be as Lin Feng guessed.

"The thief had to wait until he cracked the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads before stealing them? Wouldn't it be the same if she stole the red sandalwood cloud beads first and then cracked them?" Li Zhen, who had been silent, asked the question in his mind.

Lin Feng was not surprised by Li Zhen's question, as if he had known there would be such a problem for a long time. He looked at Li Zhen and said, "It's still what I said just now. The red sandalwood cloud beads hide secrets related to the royal family. This matter Things are not secretive, and anything related to the royal family will definitely be paid attention to by many parties.”

"Therefore, once the red sandalwood cloud beads are lost, it will definitely affect the nerves of all forces. By then, I am afraid that it will not only be the people of Banyue'an who have to look for it."

"For example, this time, Master Jingci believed in me and decisively sealed the mountain gate, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and cut off the source of the news... But even so, the Man'er family still knew about the missing red sandalwood cloud beads. This is enough to show how many people are paying attention to the red sandalwood cloud beads, but because of Master Jingci’s quick results, the various forces do not know much about the details, so it is difficult to find them in a targeted manner. "

"But..." Lin Feng said in a low voice, "What if there is no me?"

Li Zhen's brows furrowed completely.

Lin Feng looked at him and continued: "If it weren't for me, Master Jingci would definitely ask the nuns in the nunnery to find it first. If they can't find it, they would definitely ask the government for help. By then, all the forces in the world will know about the red sandalwood cloud beads. Details of the loss.”

"The abilities of the nuns in Banyue Temple are limited, but the methods of the various forces are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Once they take action, if they find any clues, they may follow the clues to find the red sandalwood cloud beads... And at that time, once the red sandalwood cloud beads are used If it is taken away, it may not be returned to Banyue An, and even which force took it away may not be known. "

"so……"

Lin Feng looked at Li Zhen's frowning face and said, "Does Li Qianniu understand? The risk of stealing the red sandalwood beads before cracking it is too high. All forces are taking action. Can you even think about it?" Keeping the red sandalwood cloud beads is unknown.”

"Therefore, in this case, either don't steal it and put the red sandalwood cloud beads in Banyue Temple. Under the gaze of all forces, no one dares to touch it easily. Or steal it and make sure that after stealing it, you can directly find the royal family." Hidden secretly, then empty the secret, and then throw the red sandalwood cloud beads out to attract the attention of all parties. Who can know that the secret has been cracked? Even if it is later, who can know who cracked it? Someone has cracked it, but the royal secret has been emptied, so what’s the point?”

Li Zhen listened to Lin Feng's words in a daze, and then realized that his thinking was still too shallow.

His father had always told him to think at a deeper level when encountering problems. He thought that after all these years of training, he was no longer weak. But now when he compared with Lin Feng, he realized that he was still too short-sighted compared to truly smart people. .

He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Just when Lin Si explained it like this, the general understood. It seems that the thief cracked the secret of the red sandalwood cloud bead and then hurriedly stole it."

Lin Feng smiled, looked at Li Tai, and said, "Once you clarify this logic, the rest will be simple."

"The thief has been coming to Banyue'an for at least several years, and studying the red sandalwood cloud beads is not easy, so she will never know when she will be able to crack the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads. Therefore, in this cracking process, which will last at least several years, How could she let her accomplices wait outside to pick her up every day? Even if the nuns at Banyue Nunnery were not as sharp as they were, they would have been spotted wandering around Banyue Nunnery every day for at least several years."

"Not to mention, other forces will definitely keep an eye on the Red Sandalwood Cloud Pearl. If the thief's accomplices went to Banyue Nunnery every day, they would have been exposed long ago. With the thief's caution, how could he do such a high-risk thing?"

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth. Although Lin Feng and he made the same judgment, after hearing Lin Feng's reasons, he realized that his judgment was entirely based on his own subjective thoughts. He felt that it was unfair. A judgment is made only when it is reasonable.

And what about Lin Feng?

Present facts, reason, use facts as the basis, reason logically, and finally draw conclusions.

My subjective judgment may be wrong because of my own thoughts, but Lin Feng is so rigorous and rigorous that there is no way he can be wrong.

At this moment, Li Taicai finally understood why Lin Feng could become a detective, but he couldn't even understand Lin Feng's words.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his words, Lin Feng continued: "As I just said, the thief's accomplice cannot be outside every day to support him. On the contrary, it is safer if he does not come to Banyue Nunnery easily."

"So, the leader of the theft operation must be the thief hidden in Banyue Temple. After all, only if she deciphers the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads can she determine the time to take action."

"But the nun in Banyue'an can't go down the mountain easily. So how will she meet her accomplices and inform her accomplices of their plan of action?"

"This..." Li Tai frowned and thought.

But Sun Fuga's voice rang out: "Welcome pilgrims!"

"Receiving pilgrims? Yes!"

Li Tai's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "If they receive pilgrims, they will have the opportunity to come into contact with people outside!"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "That's right, to receive pilgrims...the nuns of Banyue Nunnery have two fixed days every month to receive pilgrims. Since the time is completely fixed, it is impossible for them to Colleagues, just have the chance to meet him.”

"And as long as they can meet, the thief can secretly inform his accomplices of the information that he has cracked the secret of the red sandalwood cloud beads, and agree on a time and how to respond."

Sun Fujia couldn't help but sigh: "They really used everything they could." Lin Feng said with a smile: "After all, if the thieves want to hide well, they can only use the opportunity of receiving pilgrims, and this opportunity is indeed the most secret and secretive. It's safe. The two of them only need to exchange notes when they pass each other, which is enough to complete the exchange of information. Who would know that they are accomplices? "

"Yes." Sun Fujia nodded.

Li Tai frowned and said, "But all three of them can come out to receive pilgrims, so there's no way to determine who has the problem, right?"

"Indeed, they can all come out to receive pilgrims, but their time is different."

Lin Feng said: "Your Highness, you can think about it. There are many things that are uncontrollable when stealing red sandalwood cloud beads at night, such as the weather, the sudden change of the night patrol rules of Banyue Temple, and the sudden change of the place where the red sandalwood cloud beads are placed... ...The occurrence of all these factors may make the thief's original plan encounter difficulties. However, the thief only meets once a month with his accomplices, and there is no way to inform his accomplices of these unexpected events. There were mistakes in their actions.”

"Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of mistakes, they can only shorten the time of meeting and the time of executing the plan. The shorter the time, the lower the possibility of accidents in the middle."

"Among the three of Fa Hui, Fa Min and Fa Jing, Fa Min received pilgrims ten days before the incident, that is, eighteen days before the incident, and Fa Jing received the pilgrims half a month before the incident, that is, twenty days before the incident. The pilgrims received by Fa Hui were the pilgrims received by Fa Min on the first day of duty, which was seven days ago, so..."

Lin Feng looked at Li Tai and said, "Eighteen days, twenty days or seven days, who do you think is the most likely thief?"

"Needless to say!"

Lin Feng told him the detailed time. If Li Tai didn't understand what Lin Feng meant, he would be stupid instead of naive.

He said: "Eighteen days and twenty days. In such a long time, the theaters in Chang'an City can be replaced by ten. The possibility of accidents is too high! So there is no doubt that it can only be seven days!" that is……"

Li Tai's eyes widened and he couldn't help but said: "The thief is... Fa Hui!"

"But wasn't she the one on duty that night? Could it be that she was committing theft?"

Li Zhen and others were shocked and quickly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the dancing candlelight in the lantern, and his face flickered under the candlelight. He said slowly: "Actually, I feel that seven days is too long. If I were to do it, it would be three days." I don’t think it’s safe enough for the best time limit to exceed three days.”

"But the scope of the thieves has been limited to Fa Hui and the other three, so the only one who is taller among the dwarfs is Fa Hui!"

After saying that, Lin Feng raised his eyes and looked at the crowd and said, "There are actually some things that can prove this."

"The most critical things for a thief to commit a crime are the special lock and the tools for changing the lock. But the thief is hidden in Banyue Nunnery and does not have a separate room to live in. So there is no way for her to bring these things into Banyue Temple in advance. Because she simply doesn’t have a safe, private place where she can hide for years without being discovered.”

"Furthermore, the most important reason why the thief changed the lock was because Master Jingci changed the location of the red sandalwood cloud beads. Before that, the red sandalwood cloud beads had been placed in other rooms, and that room had never been occupied. Guard, even if the room is locked at night, since the thief can often secretly study the red sandalwood beads, it means that she should have been assigned the key. After all, Master Jingci was not so nervous at that time, and everyone could have access to the key. arrive."

"So, this illustrates a problem..."

Lin Feng said slowly: "That special lock was made to deal with Master Jingci changing the position of the red sandalwood cloud beads, and the thief could not hide the lock in Banyue Nunnery in advance, so she could only use it after learning about the red sandalwood cloud beads. Yunzhu had to change places in order to contact her accomplices and obtain new locks and lock-changing tools from her accomplices. In other words, when she was receiving pilgrims, she would at least have to find craftsmen at Master Jingci to repair the Buddhist temple. After revealing the idea of ​​replacing the red sandalwood cloud beads."

"Among the three Fahui, only Fahui meets this condition when he receives pilgrims. When the other two received the pilgrims, their Jinyun cassocks had not been lost. They would never have expected that Master Jingci would be there at ten The position of the rosewood cloud beads will be changed in a few days.”

Li Tai was completely confused. He felt that Lin Feng's original deduction was impeccable, but he never expected that Lin Feng could verify it from other aspects.

Rigorous...so rigorous that even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't find any faults.

However, after Li Zhen pondered for a long time, he couldn't help but said: "How could Lin Sizheng be sure that the thief who secretly studied the red sandalwood cloud beads relied on stealing the key instead of replacing this special lock early? After all? This lock can be opened with any key, so no one will suspect that there is something wrong with the lock in that room, right?"

"good question."

Lin Feng admired Li Zhen's solitary thinking and said, "I have two reasons."

"First, the thief does not have the key to the lock of this Buddhist temple, so if he wants to change the lock, he can only use tools to destroy the original lock before he can remove the original lock and replace it with the special lock."

"Therefore, the original lock must be broken, and if it is true what Li Qianhu said, the special lock has been used in the previous room, then what should I do with the lock in the previous room after the special lock is replaced? The lock of this Buddhist temple is broken, and it definitely cannot be replaced. Even if it can still be used, the lock of the Buddhist temple is not like this lock and can be opened by any key. That lock can only be opened by yourself. Just the key.”

"So, as long as someone uses the key to try it, they will immediately know that the lock has been changed, but the reality is that the lock in that room is still in normal use, and there is no such thing as the original key being unable to open it."

Li Zhen's pupils jumped sharply. He was only focused on analyzing the possible loopholes in Lin Feng's words and did not think deeply about them.

"As for the second..."

Lin Feng raised the keyhole, faced Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "It's a cliché... There are almost no scratches on the keyhole of this lock, which means that it has not been used a few times at all, and if it had been replaced a long time ago, How could there not be any scratches in that room?”

Li Zhen looked at the keyhole blankly, his heart beating violently. He thought he had a sharp mind and considered things thoroughly enough, but who knew that compared with Lin Feng, his ideas were full of loopholes.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng's expression with even more respect and admiration, and said: "General, I understand. In this case, this special lock can only be given to her by the thieves' accomplices." In other words, it can only be specially prepared to deal with this accident after confirming that the red sandalwood cloud beads will change positions. "

Lin Feng smiled. He was not afraid of anyone finding fault with him. The more he discerned, the clearer his reasoning became. If he couldn't discern clearly, it meant there was a problem with his reasoning and he needed to change his thinking immediately.

He looked at Li Tai and said, "Does His Highness the King of Yue have any other ideas?"

Li Tai quickly shook his head, shaking it like a rattle, it was a joke... He didn't even think about the question raised by Li Zhen. He only thought that Lin Feng's words were the truth, and there was no way he could have any objections.

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fuga again, not to mention Sun Fuga.

"It seems that everyone agrees with my reasoning, so it is obvious that the culprit can only be Fahui!"

Li Tai suddenly remembered something and said, "But there was a witness to Fahui during the day."

The reason why he just excluded Fahui was because Fahui said that someone would accompany her during the day.

"Witness?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "Fa Hui said that the person guarding the mountain gate ate and slept with her. Eating together can indeed be counted as a witness, but sleeping together is not a witness."

He looked at Li Tai and said, "When His Royal Highness the King of Yue fell asleep, would he know what other people in your house did?"

"I was asleep, how could I possibly know what they did."

"Yes, by the same token, people who sleep with Fahui will also not know what Fahui did while she was asleep, so..."

Lin Feng said: "The so-called witness is not true at all, and the fact that I ask this question is not to see who has a witness. I just want to see who will emphasize that he must have been sleeping during the day, and who will be involved in this matter." It's a waste of words... After all, only the thief will understand the reason why I ask this, and will find ways to reduce his suspicion. "

"Among the three, it was obvious that only Fahui spoke the most on this issue. She specifically said that someone was accompanying her, and added that they ate and slept together, as if they were stuck together, in order to guide us. , Let us believe that she did nothing during the day, thereby reducing our suspicion of her. His Highness the King of Yue will believe her and have fallen into her trap. "

Li Tai: "It's a trap again..."

His heart was tired.

I thought that after leaving the Prince of Yue's Mansion, no one would plot against me anymore, and I could watch the show in comfort, but who knew that after coming here, I would still be plotted against and led by others...

He really wanted to say, you guys who are playing tricks are so insidious!
However, he was really convinced by Lin Feng.

I thought that Lin Feng's three questions that seemed to have nothing to do with changing the locks and stealing the red sandalwood beads were asked casually by Lin Feng. Who knows that every question is the key to pointing directly at the thief.

As long as the thief wants to get rid of suspicion, as long as the thief does those things, he will never be able to escape from the cage woven by these three questions!
Fahui, on the other hand, seemed to answer perfectly, completely removing herself, but in fact, every question stepped on Lin Feng's trap. The more she tried to escape and the more careful she was, the more she seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. The more she struggled, the deeper she fell, and finally... her true inner thoughts were completely exposed.

There is no escape!
"The gap is too big!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is the crushing of wisdom!"
