It was similar to what Sun Shaozong had previously speculated.

Recently, Lin Qisheng in the court has indeed made amazing moves.

In the beginning, the people in the court thought that Lin Zongxian was eyeing some big fish again, and all of them were gearing up, just waiting for the collective to ‘make first-class merit’.

It was the news that Lin Qisheng applied for the official post when he wanted to wait for the last time.

Although according to Zhao Rongheng's statement, Lin Qisheng's change began half a year ago, which is not quite the same as his family's statement that his family has had more than two years.

But this is the only way to prove that Lin Qisheng's resignation was precisely because of problems with emotional control.

He probably had some kind of mental illness two years ago, but these days, there are only a few simple judgments about his psychological condition: lunatic, fool, normal person.

Although Lin Qisheng's behavior is very extraordinary, it obviously does not belong to the first two situations. In addition, he does not know how to adjust his mentality, which causes the symptoms to gradually deepen, and finally begins to show agitated and perverse attitude in the court.

Lin Qisheng obviously realized that if he continued like this, waiting for him would be a disaster, so he took a decisive measure to stop the loss-to return to his hometown.

With the connections and prestige he established before he resigned, when he returned to his hometown in Shanxi, he would definitely exist as a landlord. As long as he didn't hit Shanghai Rui's strong command, he would be able to reverse the situation for several years.

It's just that he never expected that even if he took the initiative to resign, the disaster would still come as expected.

Now that he knew Lin Qisheng's situation in the court, after separating from Zhao Rongheng, Sun Shaozong naturally did not go to the Yamen, but rushed to the Lin Mansion.

No words all the way.

After arriving at Lin's house, the first thing that was presented to him was in addition to the confession record of the interrogation of Lin's subordinates last night, as well as two plans of Lin's house.

One of them is very clean, with only a few symbols in the inner courtyard; while the other one is densely covered with various marks and remarks.

This was painted by Huang Bin before Sun Shaozong left yesterday.

According to the official confession, after Lin Qisheng dismissed most of his servants, he became more and more independent, and even refused the personal service of the servants.

When he first learned of this information, Sun Shaozong also inferred from this that Lin Qisheng was most likely to have been replaced by an imposter half a month ago.

But when I asked those little concubines later, three people said that they had spent the night with Lin Qisheng one after another. Even if their appearance and voice could be fooled, their figure and certain aspects of abilities were always difficult to cheat.

Therefore, the time when Lin Qisheng might be replaced was reduced to five days-because six days ago in the evening, he only favored a certain concubine for the last time.

The dense sketches marked exactly what Lin Qisheng and the rest of the Lin Mansion had done in the past five days.

And the plain one is the place and time when the two sides met.

Study room, flower hall, three-door lane, garden pavilion.

Sun Shaozong looked at it for a long time, and finally his gaze fell on the label "Three Doors".

This was the last time Lin Qisheng appeared in front of people, and the most witnesses, and the only time he approached the passage between the front yard and the back yard.

Obviously, the murderer did this deliberately to conceal the time of Lin Qisheng's death.

What is his purpose?

To make an alibi?

He ordered people to fetch pens, inks, papers and inkstones. After Sun Shaozong made a careful comparison, when Lin Qisheng appeared, there was no alibi, and they were transcribed on paper one by one.

Since it is to play two roles, it is naturally impossible for the murderer to appear in different places at the same time.

However, after writing, Sun Shaozong's head became bigger.

Because most of the servants have been dismissed, this mansion in Nuo Da is empty, resulting in at least half of the people who are alone, regardless of the master and servant.

Even if the screening criteria of alibi are added, more than one-third of people are included in this list.

Among them, Lin Qisheng's concubines accounted for nearly half.

It seems that until more information is discovered, it is difficult to determine the real culprit by the elimination method-of course, targeted investigations still have to be carried out continuously.

So after handing this list to Tang Weishan for disposal, Sun Shaozong changed another piece of paper and began to list the other entry points of the case.

The first is the hiding place.

With reference to the surface condition of the corpse and the degree of decay, the location of the corpse must be indoors, dry, constant temperature, and full of floating dust.

Not to mention the former and the latter, the intermediate condition excludes the vast majority of vacant houses.

Because the temperature has continued to drop since mid-November, if there are no humans or other heat sources moving inside, the room temperature of a house with ordinary structure will drop below zero at night.

If this is the case, the corpse should leave traces of repeated freezing and dissolution, but during the inspection yesterday, no such signs were found.

This proves that the corpse should have been in a constant temperature above zero for a long time.

The Lin Mansion does not keep any poultry in captivity. The place that can maintain a constant temperature above zero for a long time is basically a place where people often move.

Considering the smell of the corpse, it should have been brewing for more than a day before the corpse was discovered. If it is really hidden in a place where someone enters and exits, it will definitely be detected as abnormal. After all, the corpse itself does not Signs of being sealed up and covered up.

Or, someone resisted the smell of the corpse and hid Lin Qisheng's body by his side.

But this kind of behavior is very risky, especially the smell of the corpse is not so easy to dissipate. If someone really dared to hide the corpse by his side, they should be aware of it when the house was searched yesterday.

Either...

It is hidden in a relatively sealed and constant temperature chamber.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong first added the remarks of ‘secret room’ after the words ‘hidden corpse land’, then after thinking about it, he added the word ‘underground’.

After all, if it is just an ordinary secret room, it may not always be able to maintain a constant temperature.

Conversely, if it is underground ~www.readwn.com~ keep a constant temperature above zero, it couldn't be easier.

After adding the remarks, Sun Shaozong said: "Chen Jingde, you go to the Lin family and ask if there is any place in this house, there may be a secret room-by the way, let me ask again. In recent years, this The house may have been remodeled."

The latter question reminded me of my own tunnel.

Waiting for Chen Jingde to take the order.

Sun Shaozong added the four characters ‘imposter’ on the paper again.

Although Lin Qisheng had five long beards and he used to wear a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, it invisibly reduced the difficulty of impersonating him.

But if you want to hide from others, the necessary makeup skills are always indispensable.

Then there is the level of familiarity with Lin Qisheng's daily life-even if Lin Qisheng is simple and short-tempered, no one dares to approach, but he is not a stranger, he can pretend casually.

The most suspicious person here is obviously the little servant who waits on his daily life.

But the problem is that before the incident, most of the young men next to him were dismissed, and the rest were all driven to the front yard by him.

In other words...

Why did Lin Qisheng suddenly drove all the young men out?

Obviously, this manic symptom has been going on for more than two years. It is said that the servants around him should have passed the running-in period long ago.

To say that he has been so irritable recently that he can't keep people around him, why didn't he have any problems when he favored three concubines one after another?

Could it be...

Lin Qisheng drove away the young man next to him, in order to hide what secret?

What's the secret?

You know that before Lin Qisheng was alive, he almost blatantly slept with a wife who was in charge of something, and he didn't deliberately conceal anything at all.

Could this secret be more serious to him than adultery?
