People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 293: Confused! The person behind the scenes is Li Shimin! ?

At this time, the door of the Buddhist temple was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Man'er walked in with a bamboo basket on her arm.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Maner's steps paused slightly. She blinked her long eyelashes, and her eyes swept over the people who were full of emotion and shock. Seeing that everyone was looking at Lin Feng with complicated expressions, she felt something in her heart, and seemed to realize something. He hurriedly came to Lin Feng, with a look of expectation on his face, and said, "Anything gained?"

Lin Feng nodded and smiled: "Man'er is smart. You guessed it before I even said it. We really have a good understanding."

Lin Feng was not stingy at all in praising his fiancée.

Xiao Man'er gave Lin Feng an angry look and said, "With a smaller scope, have you already determined who the culprit is?"

Lin Feng said: "Are you familiar with Fa Hui?"

"Fa Hui?"

Xiao Man'er seemed to understand something, her bright eyes couldn't help but reveal disbelief, and said: "Could it be...are you saying that the thief is Fa Hui?"

Lin Feng knew that Xiao Man'er could not be concealed, so he nodded and said: "At least according to the current information, Fa Hui's suspicion is much higher than that of Fa Min and Fa Jing."

"How could it be her!?"

Xiao Maner put down the bamboo basket, and many complex expressions such as surprise, disappointment, and disbelief quickly appeared on her face. She knew that although Lin Feng said that Fa Hui was more suspected than Fa Min and Fa Jing, that was just Lin Feng's caution. Just the habitual words, Lin Feng must have determined that Fa Hui is the thief.

She took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "I have lived in Banyue'an for a long time, and I know everyone in Banyue'an, and I am naturally familiar with Fahui."

"Fahui is Master Jingci's sixth disciple and has a very high status. However, she never points fingers at others just because of her high status. On the contrary, she does everything by herself. She will be the first to do any hard, tiring or dirty work. She is recognized as the most hard-working person in Banyue'an."

"Everyone speaks highly of her, so you said that she is actually the thief who stole the red sandalwood beads... For a moment, it was really hard for me to believe it."

Listening to Xiao Man'er's words, Lin Feng nodded and said slowly: "This is her greatness. Through her past actions, she has formed a fixed understanding of her image in your hearts, so even if this time the red sandalwood cloud beads It was lost in her hands, and no one suspected that she was the one who stole it. Even Master Jingci, who was so anxious and worried, did not blame Fa Hui too much. The other nuns also did not blame Fa Hui. Pointing fingers... She spent more than ten years preparing for this theft, and even the people in Banyue Nuan did not suspect her. You can't believe it for a while, and it's normal. "

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but take a breath and said: "I never expected that this seemingly gentle and weak Fa Hui would have such a terrifying mind and spend so many years preparing for this action. "

Sun Fujia also rarely agreed with Li Tai's words. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, now that we have determined that Fa Hui is the thief, what should we do next? Arrest him directly?"

After hearing Sun Fuga's words, Li Zhen immediately tightened his grip on the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to go out and arrest people at any time.

But Lin Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "All this is just our inference. We don't have enough evidence to prove that Fa Hui is the thief. If we catch him rashly, I'm afraid Fa Hui won't admit it."

Li Tai snorted: "As long as she can be caught in jail, why are you afraid that she, a weak woman, won't speak up? All the torture instruments have been used once, and I don't believe that she won't speak up."

Lin Feng glanced at Li Tai and thought that Li Tai had never met Fa Hui's accomplice. These people in the Four Elephants organization, whether men or women, have the toughest words. They are not even afraid of death. They really have nothing to fear. Instruments of torture.

Moreover, the key to this operation is not only to find out the thief who stole the red sandalwood cloud beads, but to find the accomplices through the thief, and then determine whose hands the red sandalwood cloud beads fell into. The red sandalwood cloud beads point to Where is the secret? Who took out the poison of golden beads from the secret treasure?

Therefore, before finding his accomplice, we must not alert him.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then looked at Li Zhen and said, "Li Qianniu, there are a few things you need to do."

When Li Zhen heard this, he directly cupped his hands and said, "Lin Si is just asking for your instructions."

As Lin Feng showed more skills, Li Zhen became more and more respectful to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "First, send someone to search Fahui's room and the places where Fahui often goes in Banyue Nunnery. Although I think Fahui should disclose all the things related to her secrets before stealing. They’ve all been dealt with, but let’s search it. If she doesn’t have time to deal with it, or if she has been hiding for more than ten years and has forgotten something, it may directly become our most critical evidence.”

Li Zhen did not hesitate, nodded and said: "I will finally understand."

"besides……"

Lin Feng continued: "I went to ask other people who were also responsible for receiving pilgrims on the days when Fahui received pilgrims. Ask them if there are pilgrims who come to Banyue Nunnery on those two days of each month, and if anyone sees them. Who did Guo Fahui talk to?”

"Although Fa Hui's accomplices are well hidden, in order to hand over information to Fa Hui, they always come to Ban Yue'an once a month. No one may notice once or twice, but if they come with this frequency for several years, they may An attentive nun will notice.”

"So ask those nuns. If there is such a person, then there is a high probability that this person is Fa Hui's accomplice."

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he quickly realized the importance of this matter. He nodded quickly: "Lin Si is relieved. In the end, he will personally lead people to inquire. If there is such a person, he will be found out."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and said: "Fa Hui was well prepared and basically left no obvious clues, so we can only seize every opportunity and use the stupidest method to investigate."

"Lin Sizheng thinks this is the stupidest method, but General Mo thinks this is the method that gets to the core of the case!"

Even if Li Zhen had great fluctuations in his heart, his expression was still very calm. He rarely said a flattering word, and then said: "Is there anything more?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Let's investigate these two points first. After the results come out, we will talk about other things."

"it is good."

Li Zhen didn't waste any more time and turned around to leave.

After Li Zhen left, Sun Fujia breathed out slowly: "I don't know if we can really find any useful clues."

"Do your best and obey fate."

Lin Feng said: "What we have to do is to seize every opportunity that appears in front of us. But if the result is not as expected, there is nothing we can do except arrest Fa Hui and find a way to pry her mouth open."

"But that's a last resort. It's easy to alert the snake and put the people behind her on guard... So if you can't use this last resort, you better not use it."

Li Tai listened to Lin Feng's words and couldn't help but complain: "Discovering the prisoner and then arresting the prisoner for investigation is the most normal approach for other yamen, right? But in your case, it is the last resort."

Lin Feng laughed: "The situations are different, so naturally we cannot make comparisons."

All the instructions had been given, and Lin Feng's brain finally had a chance to rest.

He turned back to look at the pretty Xiao Man'er in front of him and asked, "Why did it take so long? Is Master Jingci reluctant to part with two candles?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Master Jingci had a very high status in Xiao Man'er's heart. She rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and said immediately: "The candles in this Buddhist temple are specially made because they need to be 'lasting'. Normally, these candles are placed in the side hall." , they would take it out and light it every night after Master Jingci and the others finished their chanting, and it would be burned out in the morning the next day.”

"When I went to see the Master just now, the Master said that the candles in the side hall had just been used up on the night of the incident. After the red sandalwood beads were lost, the Buddhist temple was closed, so there were no new candles. I heard that you wanted to use it, so I personally took me to the warehouse and got you a new candle, which wasted some time. "

Listening to Xiao Man'er's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but look at the two candlesticks on the table. Seeing the completely different conditions after the candles burned in the two candlesticks, he squinted his eyes and said: "The candles that night happened to be the last two. What a coincidence?"

Xiao Man'er nodded: "It's indeed a coincidence."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I would like to see what kind of special candle can burn all night without going out."

As he spoke, he took out the candle inside the bamboo basket.

As the candle was taken out, Li Tai just glanced at it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "So thick?"

I saw that the candle in Lin Feng's hand was two inches thick.

Such a thick candle is more powerful than the thick red candles that normal people use when getting married.

Xiao Man'er said: "If the candle is not thick enough, it won't last all night."

"That's too thick. I don't even have such a candle in my house." Li Tai said.

After listening to the words of the two people, Lin Feng looked at the candle in his hand carefully and saw that there was no special pattern carved on the surface of the candle. It was warm and smooth to the touch, and the craftsmanship was meticulous. It was indeed not comparable to inferior candles.

But compared with normal candles, there seems to be nothing special except being thick. He thought for a moment and said, "After this candle burns, will the wax oil be spread all over the candlestick, or will there be no wax at all?"

"Master Tai specifically told me this..."

Xiao Man'er looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Tai said that this candle was made by a believer. This believer has a candle-making workshop that specializes in providing candles for the mansions of dignitaries."

"This kind of candle is currently only available in Banyuen Temple, because the wax oil of this kind of candle is not easy to melt and does not drip down so easily. After burning, the candle holder will be as clean as new and will not burn out like ordinary candles. The back surface is full of wax oil, which is consistent with the Buddhist saying that "all things are empty", so this believer only provides this kind of candle to Banyue Temple to show his piety."

Isn't this an in-house special offer... But after burning such a thick candle, there won't be any wax left. This technique is quite impressive.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, took a candle, placed it on a candlestick without wax, and immediately lit it with a fire stick.

As the candle was lit, a flash of brightness quickly overshadowed the dim light of the lantern, causing the originally dim Buddhist temple to quickly light up.

"This candle is so much brighter than ordinary candles?" Sun Fujia didn't pay much attention to the candle at first. After all, no matter how special the candle is, it has nothing to do with the case. He is old and has limited energy. He will not be as curious about everything as Li Tai. , but as the light of the candle overwhelmed the light of the lantern, he quickly became interested: "If this candle is used for reading and writing, it is a perfect match."

As expected of a scholar, his first thought is always reading... Lin Feng said with a smile: "If we can find the red sandalwood cloud beads, Master Jingci will definitely be very grateful to us. When the time comes, Dr. Sun will ask Master Jingci to make a connection, and maybe I can get this special in-house candle.”

Sun Fujia's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this. At his age, in addition to the improvement of his grade, only the love of his life, reading, can arouse his interest.

Seeing that Sun Fujia was really thinking about what he said, Lin Feng smiled. He stretched out slowly, and then said: "We have nothing to do for the time being, so everyone should take the time to rest. We will wait until the results are obtained." , If we can really find Fa Hui's accomplice, then we may not have such a rest time again. "

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia's eyes flashed. He understood what Lin Feng meant. If Fa Hui's accomplice could really be found, the next thing to do is to follow the clues and find the royal secret, and even find the leader hidden behind the scenes. Or... By then, everything will really matter. After all, once the person behind the scenes realizes that things are out of control, they will definitely take action. Whether they can find out the person behind the scenes depends on who is faster. .

So by then, let alone rest, there may not even be time to breathe.

He nodded and said: "Zide is right. We really need to seize the time to recharge our batteries. Finding Fahui is just the beginning. The real battle is still behind."

…………

"Lin Templezheng."

"The general has completed the investigation."

In a daze, Lin Feng heard someone calling him.

He subconsciously opened his eyes and realized that it was already dawn. He originally just wanted to lie down on the table and take a nap, but unexpectedly he fell asleep all night.

The person who called him was Li Zhen, who was sent out to perform the mission last night.

Looking at the red bloodshot eyes in Li Zhen's eyes, Lin Feng knew that Li Zhen had stayed up all night. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his cheek to let his brain return to its normal active state, and then said: "Li Zhen Qianniu worked hard, what’s the result?”

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Tai and others, who had just woken up, rested against the wall. They grinned and turned their stiff joints while looking at Li Zhen expectantly.

Then they heard Li Zhen say: "After receiving the mission from Lin Sizheng, General Mo first asked the people at Banyue Temple where Fahui often went besides his own room. He learned that there were places where Fahui would go alone, except for his own room. Outside the room is the Guanyin Hall of Banyue Temple, and then the general led people to search the Guanyin Hall and her room. "

"result……"

Li Zhen looked at Lin Feng. His calm and dull expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, actually became extremely solemn at this moment. He even seemed to be at a loss as he said, "The general found something in the cabinet in Fa Hui's room. A hidden compartment, and in the hidden compartment, a box was found.”

With that said, Li Zhen placed the box he had been holding on the table in front of Lin Feng.

There was something wrong with Li Zhen's expression... Lin Feng looked at the box on the table, but in his mind he was thinking about why Li Zhen had such a strange expression.

Li Zhen's calmness and dullness are his protective color and the protective mechanism he has developed since he was a child. Even when something unexpected happens to him, he will only show a slight look of surprise at most, but soon he will Back to normal.

But this time... Li Zhen's face was obviously solemn, and he even saw that he was at a loss. Moreover, Li Zhen did not cover up these expressions as usual... Why is this?

He was obviously normal last night.

Could it be that... Lin Feng looked deeply at the box that Li Zhen handed to him, guessing that it was because of it?
Li Zhen must have checked the contents of the box, so the contents were beyond Li Zhen's expectation? But what is it that can make someone as calm as Li Zhen feel at a loss?
Lin Feng's interest in the box found in Fa Hui's room was completely aroused.

He looked at the box carefully and saw that it was a wooden box. The wooden box was not big, four inches long, two inches wide, and one inch high. Its surface was engraved with complex patterns, and the surface was polished very smooth, with a light sandalwood color. Fragrant, you can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary box made by craftsmen.

"The box is very precious, and it is definitely not the kind that can be easily bought on the market..."

Lin Feng asked while inspecting the box: "Tell me the detailed process of discovering it."

Li Zhen took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady, and said: "When we first searched Fahui's room, we didn't find the existence of this box at all. Later we searched the Guanyin Hall, but we found nothing. After learning this result In the end, the general felt very unwilling, because this meant that Lin Sizheng's first method would end in failure, but we did not find any other new methods. "

"So the general thought, maybe we didn't search carefully enough, or Fahui was hidden too deep, and we didn't find it... Therefore, the general searched again, and this time, he found Fahui and the others. All the things in the room were moved to the yard, including the beds and cabinets, and then they were taken apart one by one and searched carefully. "

"result……"

Li Zhen looked at Lin Feng and said, "While dismantling Fahui's cabinet, I discovered that there was a mezzanine at the bottom of Fahui's cabinet. I had to take out all the clothes in the cabinet and remove the wooden boards at the bottom of the cabinet." After taking it out, you can find that there is a mezzanine under the wooden board and at the bottom of the cabinet. This box is just inside the mezzanine. "

Lin Feng knew that although Fa Hui lived in a common bunk with other nuns, each of them had their own separate cabinet to store their personal clothes. Therefore, even if Fa Hui did not live in a separate room, personal items such as cabinets could not be used by other people. I still don't know what's inside.

He thought for a moment and said, "Is the mezzanine very secretive?"

"It's very secretive!" Li Zhen nodded: "We also searched the cabinet for the first time, but we didn't find the existence of the mezzanine at all."

Lin Feng nodded: "So, even if someone secretly opens Fa Hui's cabinet, they won't be able to find the mezzanine in the cabinet?"

"That's right, unless you take out the cabinets like we did."

Who in a normal nun can open a cabinet... It seems that there is nothing wrong with the box, it should be Fa Hui's, then it's time to open the box.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, and immediately without any hesitation, he directly grabbed the lid of the box with his hand, and then lifted it hard——

The cover with complicated patterns was easily opened by him.

Then Lin Feng looked into the box.

"This is?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment.

Inside the box, there was a black token, half the size of a palm, lying quietly inside.

And this token... he has seen it before!

On his way back from Cizhou, when he was in Shenshan County, while investigating the death of Cuiyun, a woman from Miaochunyuan brothel, he saw it on the owner of the brothel, An Shen!
Later, Anshen also helped him fight against the Sixiang organization.

Because... Anshen is the spy arranged by Li Shimin in Shenshan County!
This token is the identity certificate of secret agent Li Shimin!
And now...this token appears on Fa Hui...

what does this mean?
Lin Feng couldn't help but recall Li Shimin's series of abnormal actions on Li Tai, and couldn't help but recall the overwhelmed look on Li Zhen's face when he served as Li Shimin's personal guard Qianniu. He couldn't help but recall that this case was specially prepared for him by the Four Elephants Organization. Killing game...

All the confusion, all the fog, suddenly disappeared in front of Lin Feng at this moment!

Fahui, she is Li Shimin’s!

The red sandalwood cloud beads were stolen by Fahui, so...

The person he wants to arrest is Li Shimin! ?
