People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 313 God's will is on Lin Feng! Ang Su speaks!
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia felt that his originally tired body was much more relaxed. Solving a difficult problem can always boost people's spirits.

He looked at Lin Feng, unable to hide his emotion and admiration on his face… The threat from the Four Symbols Organization and the new secret of the Golden Hairpin Force were like a haze hanging over him, making him feel as if Chang'an in front of him was shrouded in a touch of blood, so heavy that he couldn't breathe. At that moment, he really didn't know what to do… But fortunately, Lin Feng was by his side!

"I'll give the order right away... No, I'll investigate these two matters myself!"

Having said that, Sun Fujia saw that Lin Feng had no other instructions, so he turned around and was about to leave quickly.

But after he took two steps, he suddenly paused. He turned his head and said, "Oh, right, there is still one last group of killers. Which force do these killers belong to?"

Lin Feng smiled and said directly without keeping the secret: "They are just ordinary killers."

"An ordinary killer? What do you mean?"

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right, he is a killer who makes a living by taking money from people and helping them get rid of disasters."

Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at the corpses on the ground and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Feng said, "The weapons they used were different, and the calluses on their hands and the skin color were also completely different. This shows that they are completely different from the first two groups of well-trained killers. They have not been trained together... Also, when I was checking their bodies just now, I found poisons, drugs and other things on some of them. There were also a few people with my portrait on them. This is consistent with the characteristics of killers who kill people by any means necessary, and also consistent with the characteristics of taking money to do things and killing people for others."

Sun Fujia nodded in understanding: "In that case, they are indeed ordinary assassins. I wonder... who hired them."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the merchant forces from the Western Regions."

"Western merchant forces!?"

Sun Fujia was startled: "Really?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I found money bags on several people, and in their money bags, there was this thing..."

As he spoke, Lin Feng swung his hand downwards as if performing a magic trick, and a purse flew out from his loose cuffs and was firmly caught in his palm. Then he opened the purse, reached inside, and grabbed out a handful of pearls.

Looking at Lin Feng's smooth movements, Sun Fujia couldn't help but blink in confusion. He had clearly seen Lin Feng checking the corpses with his own eyes, but he had no idea that Lin Feng had hidden a money bag. When did it happen? How did Lin Feng hide the money bag under his nose?
But he didn't have time to think about these things at this moment, as his attention was attracted by the pearl in Lin Feng's hand.

He took a closer look and saw that these pearls were not very big, but they were clear and bright. Under the sunlight, they were actually flashing a faint red light. They looked quite magical. He had seen this kind of pearls before...

"This...is this the same pearl that was transported by the Western Region merchant caravan we took when we came back from Cizhou?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Doctor Sun really noticed what they were transporting."

Sun Fujia said: "After all, you suspected that the caravan might be related to the Western Region merchants. How could I not pay attention to it?"

Lin Feng smiled. He picked up a pearl and looked at it in the sunlight. The pearl was pure and reflected a ray of red light. He said slowly, "After I solved Kui Su's pursuit of me, I asked the leader of the caravan. He told me that this kind of pearl is produced in the Western Regions, and the production is not high. There are only a few hundred pearls every year, so the price is very high. It is a scarce commodity in the Western Regions. It is even more rare and precious in our Tang Dynasty. That's why he tried to get some, hoping to make a lot of money from it in the Tang Dynasty."

"And these assassins only had a purse with no coins in it, only these pearls... They didn't even have a single coin, let alone these pearls. After all, a normal person wouldn't spend such precious pearls as money, not to mention that the number of pearls in each of their purses was the same, so it was obvious that they had received these pearls before coming to assassinate me."

"In other words, this should be the deposit given to them by the person who hired them."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said meaningfully, "Then Doctor Sun, who do you think would use pearls from the Western Regions, which are very rare in the Tang Dynasty, as a deposit instead of normal gold, silver and jewelry?"

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed with coldness. "Of course, there are only people from the Western Regions... and the Western Region forces you offended are only Western Region merchants. It seems that they were in a hurry to prepare to kill you, so they didn't have time to exchange these pearls for normal money, so they can only use these pearls as a deposit."

Lin Feng put the pearls back into his purse and said calmly, "These pearls are too precious after all. Ordinary people can't afford them. The rich and nobles are more thoughtful. Even if they can afford them, they won't buy too many at once, not to mention that it is a critical period for Lord Xiao and his men to arrest corrupt officials... So, it's normal that they can't sell them."

Sun Fujia was stunned when he heard this. His tone suddenly changed. He said, "Mr. Xiao and his men arrested corrupt officials because you cracked the secret of the Western Regions merchant forces and found those corrupt officials... and it was precisely because of Mr. Xiao and his men's arrest of corrupt officials that everyone in the Tang Dynasty officialdom was in danger and no one dared to show off their wealth, so they naturally did not dare to easily buy these precious pearls. And it was precisely because they did not dare to buy that the Western Regions merchant forces could only use these pearls as a deposit... and it was precisely because of this that you were able to see through their identities through the pearls."

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "This really gives me a sense of cause and effect, as if everything is destined."

Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words, thought about it, and then smiled and said, "Doctor Sun is right, this is God's will!"

Although God's will is a bit mysterious, Sun Fujia really thinks that this is God's will... Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen that all the things are connected together to form a complete logical chain, helping Lin Feng identify who wants to kill him?
The Four Symbols Organization, the Golden Hairpin Force, and even the current Western Region Merchant Force... They are all hiding very deeply, but Lin Feng happened to have obtained some information during his contact with them, and he could use this information to identify the masters behind these killers, so that Lin Feng would not be assassinated without knowing who the enemy is.

No matter how Sun Fujia thought about it, he felt as if there was a divine will in the dark, protecting Lin Feng.

He restrained his emotions, let out a long breath, and said, "I didn't expect these three forces to attack you on the same night... I don't know if they are secretly colluding or if they acted out of some tacit understanding."

Lin Feng shook his head: "It shouldn't be collusion, otherwise, as you said before, after the assassins of the Four Symbols Organization failed, they should know that my mansion is heavily guarded, then they should not continue to attack one by one, but should join forces to attack together."

"But why they chose to do it last night, I can't figure it out."

Sun Fujia rarely saw things that Lin Feng couldn't figure out. He thought for a moment and said, "No matter what the reason is, you are in danger now. When you go out in the future, be sure to bring more guards with you and don't be careless."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Sun. I value my life the most."

Sun Fujia knew Lin Feng's cautious nature, so he nodded and said, "Then let's not delay any longer. I'll go investigate Kui Su and Chen Miao and the others. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

After saying this, he didn't delay any longer and turned around and left quickly.

After Sun Fujia left, Zhao Shiwu, who was guarding the gate, returned. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Foster father, what should we do next?"

Lin Feng thought about it, and then said: "Call Xieyang, and call more guards, and we will go to the Dali Temple."

…………

Dali Temple office.

As soon as Lin Feng arrived at the Dali Temple, he found that all the people in the Dali Temple who were busy coming in and out were suddenly as if they were acupunctured and all stood there in a daze.

Then the next moment, these colleagues hurriedly saluted Lin Feng.

"Meet Lin Shaoqing!"

"Didn't Lin Shaoqing just return to Chang'an yesterday? After all the hard work investigating the case, why doesn't Lin Shaoqing take a few more days off? If he gets too tired, who will lead us in investigating the case?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, your duties are important, but your health is more important. I still hope to work hard with Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin has devoted himself to his duties without caring about his own health. His diligence truly makes me admire him from the bottom of my heart. I will definitely follow in Mr. Lin's footsteps, work hard, and stay up all night."

Listening to his colleagues' words, even though Lin Feng was an expert in socializing, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment... Indeed, before he investigated the Donggong case, these colleagues were still joking and chatting with him, telling dirty jokes, but now that he was here, they all seemed to have become a different person, and directly regarded him as a guiding light.

But soon, Lin Feng reacted... His identity and status were different. The colleagues who used to be close to him no longer dared to be presumptuous.

They haven't changed, and neither have I, but because their statuses have become so different from each other, many things have changed.

After understanding all this, he smiled as usual and said, "I am able to achieve what I have today thanks to your cooperation, so I will treat you all to a banquet tonight. Colleagues, please give me the honor. We will not leave until we are drunk!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the eyes of these Dali Temple officials lit up. Lin Feng's initiative to invite them to a banquet was undoubtedly Lin Feng's way of showing them goodwill, indicating that even if Lin Feng was promoted, he still had high hopes for them. For them, this was naturally the most gratifying thing. They did not dare to hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Is Mr. Xiao here?"

An official quickly said: "It's in the office."

Lin Feng smiled and bowed, then walked directly towards Xiao Yu's office.

Not long after, he arrived outside Xiao Yu's room, but before he could knock on the door, he saw it opened and a figure walked out.

The moment this figure stepped out of the office, he spotted Lin Feng and was stunned.

Not only him, but Lin Feng was also slightly stunned.

Immediately, Lin Feng smiled: "An acquaintance... Han Sicheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"

The person opposite was none other than Han Keji, the Dali Temple Secretary, who was Lin Feng's biggest competitor when Lin Feng just traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Han Keji and Lin Feng were competing against each other, fighting openly and secretly for the position of Dali Temple Chief.

But who could have thought that just a few months later, Lin Feng had become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple - the second-in-command of Dali Temple. Looking back at his past competition with Han Keji, it became an interesting memory that he could never go back to.

Han Keji listened to Lin Feng's words and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression. Awe, embarrassment, nervousness and other expressions kept appearing in his eyes, but soon, all of this turned into respect for his superior. He saluted quickly: "Hello, Mr. Lin. To reply to Mr. Lin's words, Mr. Lin is a god at solving cases. He has solved many difficult and unsolved cases for the Dali Temple, which has reduced a lot of pressure on the shoulders of me and others, so I am doing well."

Hearing this, Lin Feng felt a little emotional. With his promotion to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the arrogant Han Keji of the past would flatter him now... He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Work hard. I have been promoted to Shaoqing, and the position of Dali Temple Chief will be vacant again. It is not certain who will take over next."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Han Keji's eyes widened. He naturally knew that the position of Dali Temple Chief was vacant again, but when he thought of the grudge between him and Lin Feng, Han Keji's heart was dead. But who knew that Lin Feng would specifically bring up this matter in front of him. What did this mean? He couldn't help but think about it.

Seeing Han Keji's surprised expression, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Before in Dali Temple, the only person who could compete with me was you, so I am naturally clear about your skills and abilities... and I have always been objective, not personal. It was normal for you to compete with me before. After all, I also fought all the way to get here, not to mention that the means you used to compete with me were aboveboard and you didn't use any shady methods. So don't worry, as long as your character and ability are sufficient, I won't stop you."

Han Keji instantly became excited. He knew too well the intention of Lin Feng saying these words to him... Lin Feng was both comforting him and showing goodwill to him. This proved that Lin Feng would not only not embarrass him, but might recruit him and make important use of him. He hurriedly said to Lin Feng: "Mr. Lin is open-minded and broad-minded. I admire you. Mr. Lin is relieved. I will do my best and work diligently to not let you down."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Go and get busy."

Han Keji didn't hesitate at all. He bowed to Lin Feng again and then strode away.

Looking at Han Keji's hurriedly leaving back, Lin Feng shook his head. He did not delay any longer. Seeing that the door in front of him was open, he did not knock on the door, but directly bowed and said: "Mr. Xiao, I'm here."

Xiao Yu's gentle laughter came out: "Come in."

Lin Feng immediately strode towards the door.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Xiao Yu looking at him with a smile, saying, "Now you really look like a prime minister with a big heart."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Compared with Lord Xiao, I am just a small boat at most, while Lord Xiao is sailing a super warship that can carry hundreds of people." Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head: "You are still so good at talking."

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "But you did the right thing. You have just been promoted to the position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple. Many people are paying attention to you. Showing an open-minded attitude towards those who have offended you in the past can make others feel more at ease. When this matter gets out, it will be enough for you to have a reputation for being open-minded. Those officials who were not optimistic about you in the past will also be able to approach you with confidence."

Lin Feng just smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yu knew that Lin Feng was smart and did not need to explain the ins and outs of the officialdom. After asking Lin Feng to sit down, he asked, "Didn't His Majesty allow you to rest for a few days? Why did you come to the Dali Temple today?"

Lin Feng did not keep the secret and went straight to the point: "May I ask Mr. Xiao, was there any accident in the prison last night?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Have you guessed it?"

really!

Lin Feng nodded and said, "After all, the Four Symbols Organization has sent assassins to assassinate me, and the one who can really threaten them and expose their secrets should be Ang Su who is imprisoned in the prison. So if they all go to kill me, how could they let go of the more important Ang Su?"

"That makes sense, but..." Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng and shook his head, "Not all of it is correct."

"What?" Lin Feng was stunned.

Then Xiao Yu said, "I heard about your situation last night. In order to kill you, the Four Symbols Organization arranged more than 30 assassins with high martial arts skills... But to deal with Ang Su, they only arranged a jailer who was bribed at some point."

"That jailer usually hides very well. Even when we arrested other members of the Four Symbols Organization, he did not show any abnormality, so I did not notice his problem... But when you sent someone to bring Ang Su here, you specifically asked me to protect Ang Su. So in order to protect Ang Su closely, I specially arranged some confidants to disguise as prisoners, and they were on both sides of Ang Su's cell."

"So, when the jailer wanted to harm Angsu under the cover of night, he was about to open the door of Angsu's cell when he was discovered by my confidant. Then my confidant quickly shouted, and other jailers rushed over and caught him directly... Angsu's crisis was resolved just like that."

As Lin Feng listened to Xiao Yu's words, corresponding images appeared in his mind.

After thinking for a moment, he frowned slightly and said, "The planning is too inadequate. There is not even a support person. Such an important matter, but they are so careless... It doesn't seem like their habit."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, when I received the news that he was captured, I also thought it was too simple and easy. I even suspected that this might be a conspiracy of the Four Symbols Organization, but until now, they have not taken any other actions to deal with Ang Su."

"And what about you?"

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng and said, "The people I arranged for you are all hiding in the dark. The Four Symbols Organization has no idea about the details of your mansion... So, in their eyes, your guards are just Zhao Shiwu and his men. Therefore, the Four Symbols Organization sent more than 30 experienced assassins who work well together. The probability of assassinating you is actually not low. This is enough to show how much they value you."

Lin Feng understood what Xiao Yu meant.

Xiao Yu said that what he said made sense, because the Four Symbols Organization did want to deal with Ang Su, but Xiao Yu also said that it was not entirely right, because the Four Symbols Organization valued him much more than Ang Su... He just said that Ang Su was the person who could pose the greatest threat to the Four Symbols Organization and was more important than himself, but judging from the actions of the Four Symbols Organization, this was obviously the opposite.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that he is more important than Angus in the eyes of the Four Symbols Organization.

But he still knew nothing about the secrets of the Four Symbols Organization? Even if Suzaku's identity was unknown to anyone, how could he be considered a greater threat than Angsu in the eyes of the Four Symbols Organization?
Could it be that... I had made a wrong judgment, and Ansu didn't know many secrets? Didn't it touch the bottom line of the Four Symbols Organization?

Or do they know Ansu's weak spot and are sure that Ansu dare not say it?
So it would be best if we could silence Ansu, but if we can't, we can also take this opportunity to warn Ansu and let him understand the situation?

Lin Feng frowned and thought for a while, then said directly: "Mr. Xiao, I want to see Ang Su."

Xiao Yu heard this, without saying anything more, he just stood up and said: "Let's go!"

The two men quickly left the office and walked towards the prison.

As they walked, Lin Feng said, "Mr. Xiao, I wonder how the search for those minerals in Cizhou is going? Can you find a workshop to process them?"

Xiao Yu frowned and shook his head, saying, "It's strange... I used almost all my strength to look for it, and even His Majesty lent me some of his strength, but no matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find any trace of those minerals. We also secretly searched all the workshops near Chang'an, but we didn't find any problems either."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and his dark pupils kept flashing with thought. After a moment, he slowly said: "Then there are only three possibilities."

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng, and heard Lin Feng slowly say: "First, my reasoning was wrong. Those minerals were not delivered to the vicinity of Chang'an."

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "I've read your reasoning. It's very interconnected, and there's evidence. It shouldn't be wrong."

"There is no inference in this world that is absolutely correct... But the possibility of this is indeed relatively low, and the time left for us is not enough for us to search all over the Tang Dynasty."

Xiao Yu nodded solemnly.

"And the second."

Lin Feng continued, "The Four Symbols Organization has already noticed your search and is able to know how far you have gone in the search, so they can respond to your search and always clean up the clues before you do, leaving your spies with nothing."

"This..." Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although I trust my spies and His Majesty's people, this is indeed possible..."

"As for the third one."

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the jailer who came out to greet them, and said slowly: "The method used by the Four Symbols Organization to process minerals is beyond ordinary imagination. They don't use those workshops at all, so no matter how you search, you won't find anything."

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng and said, "The method is beyond the norm?"

He was puzzled and said, "Besides handing it over to the workshop, what other means are there? Minerals can't be smelted just like that. Without the corresponding materials and tools, and without sufficient manpower and resources, it's impossible to do it... And these can only be done by the workshop."

Lin Feng shook his head: "I am only analyzing several possibilities based on your current situation, but there are too few clues. I am not sure which possibility it is and how they did it."

Xiao Yu understood what Lin Feng meant, but he didn't know when the Four Symbols Organization would take action. With every day that passed, the danger increased, and he was really anxious.

Lin Feng saw Xiao Yu's anxiety and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. Although we don't know now... it doesn't mean we won't know what will happen next."

Xiao Yu's heart moved: "You mean?"

Lin Feng stepped directly into the prison: "Maybe Ang Su can give us a surprise."

Under the guidance of the prison boss, Lin Feng and Xiao Yu soon arrived at Ang Su's cell.

As soon as he arrived at the cell, Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Xiao, how did you make Ang Su like this?"

Inside the prison, Angsu's hands and feet were locked with iron chains, and the other side of the chains were tied directly to the fence, making Angsu unable to move at all.

Qie Angsu's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. When he saw Lin Feng, he could only stare with his eyes wide open and whimper, but no one could hear what he was saying.

Xiao Yu frowned as well. He looked at the prison boss and asked, "What's going on?"

Obviously he didn't know why Ansu was like this.

The jailer said quickly, "Xiao Siqing, Lin Shaoqing... I didn't torture him on purpose. It's because Angsu went crazy last night after being stabbed by the thieves. He banged his head against the wall and wanted to commit suicide. I know he's an important prisoner and nothing can happen to him. But we can't stop him all the time, so we can only tie him up like this to let him calm down, lest he really commits suicide, which would be troublesome."

"Suicide!?"

After hearing the words of the prison boss and looking at Ang Su's eyes wide open and his struggling face, Lin Feng's mind flashed like a bolt of lightning!

He understood one thing!

I guessed right!

Angsu really knows the important secrets of the Four Symbols Organization!
The Four Symbols Organization only sent one person to kill Ang Su last night, and it’s not that they were not cautious enough!

Just as I had speculated before... For them, it didn't matter whether the jailer could succeed or not.

The important thing is that it is enough for Angsu to know that the Four Symbols Organization sent people to kill him.

This is a signal, a signal telling Angsu...that he must die!

If Ang Su was not killed by the jailer, he should know that the Four Symbols Organization wanted Ang Su to die. No matter whether Ang Su was loyal to the Four Symbols Organization or had a weakness that was controlled by the Four Symbols Organization, Ang Su had no other choice... The organization wanted him to die, and he must die!
So, after the jailer sent by the Four Symbols Organization failed, Ang Su himself began to seek death!
After figuring this out, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. What he feared most was that Ang Su knew nothing and all his work would be in vain.

And as long as Ansu knows the secret of the Four Symbols Organization, then he will have the opportunity to find out the secret.

Now, after having fabricated the incident of the Four Symbols Organization silencing him, and the Four Symbols Organization personally silencing him this time, I believe that Ang Su no longer has any loyalty to the Four Symbols Organization, and all he has is hatred.

That Angsu still sought death...it could only be because of his weakness.

So as long as I can find out what his weakness is, I can pry open Angsu's mouth!

And I'm already doing this...

"Lin Shaoqing!"

At this time, a jailer suddenly ran in. He bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Shaoqing Lin, someone outside the prison said that Doctor Sun had a letter for Shaoqing Lin."

"Doctor Sun?"

Lin Feng's eyes flashed, could it be...

He quickly took the letter, opened it quickly, and looked directly at the letter.

After a while...

Lin Feng slowly closed the letter. He looked up at Ang Su who was still struggling violently, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and chuckled: "It is true that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The weak spot is here..."
