Chapter 54: Clues in the Prison
The prison of the Criminal Department.
Shangzhou Thorn Jiang Hecheng was taken out of his cell.
Jiang Hecheng struggled, and his face was full of defeat: "I only have two days left to live, what are you still torturing me for." ”
"Less nonsense!" Zhao 15 kicked Jiang Hecheng into the interrogation room.
Jiang Hecheng struggled to get up, and was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but suddenly his eyes swept to the person in front of him, and he was directly stunned.
"Lin Feng?"
"Why are you here?"
"And your clothes, why aren't they prison uniforms?"
Lin Feng, who was standing opposite him with his back to him, chuckled: "I can see at a glance that my clothes are not prison uniforms, Jiang Hecheng, it seems that your observation ability is still very sharp." ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng turned around and looked at Jiang Hecheng.
Jiang Hecheng couldn't understand how Lin Feng could wear normal robes, and frowned, "What's going on?" ”
Lin Feng looked at him calmly: "I won the opportunity to re-investigate Zhao Deshun's case, if you perform well, there may be other results." ”
Jiang Hecheng's eyes widened fiercely, and his eyes were full of excitement: "Really? ”
Lin Feng said lightly: "What's the use of me lying to you, but before that, I need you to know everything about me, and say everything, if you have any concealment, it may cause us to be unable to solve the case, and we will eventually die a tragic death." ”
Jiang Hecheng nodded hurriedly: "I said, I will say anything, as long as it can keep me alive, I will say anything." ”
Dai Xuan had already told Lin Feng that Li Shimin had allowed him to re-investigate the case, and Li Shimin had given him ten days to solve the case.
As long as Lin Feng can find out the truth, Li Shimin will make meritorious service even if Lin Feng is guilty of crimes, and the merits and demerits will be offset and the official will be reinstated.
Now that Sun Fujia was handling the matter of going to Shangzhou for him, before leaving, Lin Feng decided to come to see Jiang Hecheng.
Although the dog officer misjudged the case, it may not be impossible to ask any useful clues.
Some people, some clues, depending on how you ask and how you guide.
Lin Feng looked at him and said, "Tell me everything you know about Zhao Deshun's case." ”
Jiang He became a life, without any concealment, and said it in one go.
“…… How do I know that Zhao Deshun is guilty of Zhao Minglu, but as long as I know, I can't get to this point, I'm about to be promoted, how can I let them get in my way? It's all their father and son's fault, what does it have to do with me? I'm innocent too! ”
Lin Feng ignored Jiang Hecheng's bitter water, whether he was innocent or not was judged by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
The content given by Jiang Hecheng is almost the same as the content of Wei Zheng's file, which is basically the same.
But it doesn't matter, what Lin Feng wants to know is not these.
Lin Feng looked at him and suddenly asked, "Zhao Deshun died after being detained for three days, are you abusing lynching?" Did you see that his Zhao family had a lot of money, and he was greedy for ink, and finally tortured him to death? ”
Jiang Hecheng's eyes widened fiercely, he hurriedly shook his head, hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "I swear, I never did it, this has nothing to do with me!" ”
"I didn't torture Zhao Deshun in any way, and all jailers can testify to this!"
Lin Feng looked at him, squinted his eyes and said, "He is a prisoner who has committed a capital crime, why don't you not send the punishment?" Are you so kind to a murderer? I've also inquired about you, isn't your favorite thing to do with the majesty of killing the prisoner before the trial begins? ”
Jiang Hecheng hurriedly said: "I actually wanted to be tortured, but Lu Chenhe persuaded me not to do this, he said that Zhao Deshun was not in good health, don't beat him to death, and Zhao Deshun was very cooperative, and there was no need to torture him if he asked what he would admit or admit anything." ”
Lin Feng asked, "Who is Lu Chenhe?" ”
Jiang Hecheng said: "It's Changshi, my adjutant." ”
"He and Zhao Deshun know each other?"
"Who in Shangzhou City doesn't know the wealthy businessman Zhao Deshun?"
"Why is he speaking for Zhao Deshun?"
Jiang Hecheng said: "It's not about speaking for him, after all, Zhao Deshun is really the most sensible prisoner I have ever seen, as long as he asks, he takes the initiative to say it, and he doesn't hide it at all." ”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and continued: "Since you didn't use the torture, and Zhao Deshun wasn't tortured in prison, then why did he die?" Who killed him? ”
Jiang Hecheng said: "Didn't he commit suicide?" ”
Lin Feng looked at his eyes and didn't let go of any of Jiang Hecheng's subtle movements: "Who can testify that he committed suicide?" Anyone saw it? ”
Jiang Hecheng shook his head: "Although no one saw it, he committed suicide, except for the wound left by his head hitting the wall, there were no external injuries on his body, and he lived in a separate cell, there was only one key, and the key was always guarded." ”
"Someone is guarding...... Are you sure that someone has been watching all night and that there is no chance that someone will sneak the keys away? ”
"The key was hanging on the wall, and below it was the table, where many jailers were sitting, and if they tried to take the key secretly, someone would surely find out."
Lin Feng's brain quickly combed through Jiang Hecheng's answers, compared them with the contents of the dossier, and then continued to ask quickly, without giving Jiang Hecheng any time to think: "I heard that after Zhao Deshun died, he left blood next to the corpse?" ”
"It's a blood word, it's a [Lu] word."
Lin Feng's eyes stared at him sharply, just like interrogating a prisoner face-to-face in his previous life, giving Jiang Hecheng a huge spiritual oppression: "Why is it the word [Lu]." ”
"His wife's surname is Lu, maybe before he died, he suddenly remembered his dead lady and thought that he could finally be reunited."
When Jiang Hecheng replied, his demeanor was natural, and his tone was full of reason, it was obvious that he thought so.
"That's what his family thinks too?"
"yes."
Lin Feng's brain couldn't help but appear at that time.
In the gloomy prison, Zhao Deshun was lying under the wall, the wall was a bloodstain, the flesh and blood on his head were blurred, his fingertips were stained with the blood on his head, on the cold ground, before he died, he wrote the last word in the world - Lu!
This is his last message to the world.
Lu - Is it really his wife?
Everyone thinks so, but is that really the truth?
Lin Feng frowned slightly......
"I heard that when Zhao Deshun died, there were other abnormalities in the corpse?"
"There's nothing out of the ordinary...... If you insist on saying it, in addition to the blood letter, there are two dead grass stuck in the nose. ”
"Why do you have dead grass in your nose?"
Jiang Hecheng guessed: "I think this is an accident, he just slept on the dry grass, maybe after hitting the wall and committing suicide, the dead grass accidentally got into his nose." ”
Did you accidentally get into your nose?
Still is...... Zhao Deshun did it on purpose?
But if it is done on purpose, what can two dead grasses represent?
Scarlet, withered grass...... Accidental or deliberate?
Lin Feng pondered as he said, "Other than that, what else is wrong with his corpse?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Hecheng shook his head and said: "I don't think the blood word and the withered grass are nothing, a coincidence entered the nose, and a memorial to the deceased wife, how normal." ”
Lin Feng ignored Jiang Hecheng, but now there were too few clues, and he couldn't reason, so he could only put it down for the time being.
He looked at Jiang Hecheng again and said, "During Zhao Deshun's detention, who has seen him?" Who had seen him before he died? ”
Jiang Hecheng shook his head directly: "No, not one." ”
"Why not? You don't allow it? ”
"It's none of the business with me!"
Jiang Hecheng hurriedly said: "Zhao Deshun is already determined to die, and it seems that he doesn't want to see his family crying, so he specifically asks me not to allow any of his family members to come to see him." ”
"Originally, I didn't understand why he was so cold-blooded, but now I understand, he's probably afraid that his weak son will tell the truth after seeing him, so he will use this method to break Zhao Minglu's thoughts and let Zhao Minglu know how firm he is."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hecheng scolded again: "If I knew that Zhao Deshun's idea was this, I would have let Zhao Minglu see him...... Otherwise, it would not have been after his death that Zhao Minglu told the truth, making it too late for me to do anything. ”
Lin Feng's eyes were deep, so that Jiang Hecheng couldn't see Lin Feng's thoughts, and he didn't know if Lin Feng agreed with his guess or not.
He continued to ask: "What did Zhao Deshun do unusually before he was caught looking for death?" ”
Jiang Hecheng frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's nothing abnormal, I'm silent every day, and when I die, I suddenly go to seek death, without any warning." ”
It really doesn't seem like anything is wrong with that...... If you don't know that there may be a third party, that's it.
But Lin Feng has a high probability of determining that there is a third party, so Zhao Deshun's death, in his opinion, the more there is no abnormality, but it means that the problem may be bigger.
"There are still too few clues, it seems necessary to go to the prison where Zhao Deshun is being held to take a look, that blood word...... I'll have to see for myself, and I don't know if it's been cleaned. ”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked the final question: "After Zhao Minglu voluntarily surrendered, what was the reaction of his family?" Has anyone visited him since you caught him? ”
Speaking of Zhao Minglu, Jiang Hecheng was so angry.
He said: "Of course his family was surprised, surprised, and couldn't believe it! ”
"After all, Zhao Minglu is in their eyes, he is a seedling of study, and he is the future champion, how could he do something murderous."
"They tried their best to persuade Zhao Minglu not to be impulsive and go back quickly, I also said to let Zhao Minglu go back, but Zhao Minglu had to say that his father couldn't die and was wronged, not that she killed the person, and directly took out the evidence of bloody clothes."
"When her family saw this, they were directly stunned, and I was also stunned......"
Lin Feng was able to imagine the situation at that time, and continued: "And then? ”
Jiang Hecheng said angrily: "What else is there, I asked Zhao Minglu to go back, but he didn't do it, and said that if I didn't overturn the case for his father, he would go to another government to turn himself in...... I had no choice but to lock him up and stop him from talking nonsense, lest he become known to everyone. ”
"But as soon as I shut up Zhao Minglu, his family was unhappy...... I actually went to sue the royal court, why did I forget that their Zhao family's business is booming, and their connections are not weak! ”
Speaking of which, he regretted it and slapped his thigh.
In their eyes, you killed someone's father, and your son was also arrested, and it was clear that you wanted to serve the father and son in one pot, and it was strange if people were willing.
And they don't want to believe that the person was killed by Zhao Minglu, and they went to sue the emperor, hoping to make the matter bigger, and the court can send powerful officials to investigate it well, instead of being manipulated by Jiang Hecheng, a dog official.
"After Zhao Minglu was imprisoned, did anyone visit him?"
Jiang Hecheng said: "Of course, he is the only son of the Zhao family, it is fragrant, and his family is gone." ”
"Who exactly?"
"I want to think about it."
Jiang Hecheng said: "His aunt Zhao, his cousin Zhao Yanran, his aunt's family of three, and Zhou Mo, the younger brother of the deceased Zhou Wan'er...... Also, no, these people are the only ones in their family, and they have all gone to see him. ”
Lin Feng asked, "What did they say?" ”
Jiang Hecheng shook his head: "How do I know this, I'm so busy, how can I follow their butts every day." ”
"I really don't know?" Lin Feng stared at him sharply.
Jiang Hecheng swallowed and foamed, and lowered his head slightly: "I just eavesdropped on it...... His aunt asked him why he was so stupid, his cousin cried and said that there was something he had not done, and she could help to complete it, and his aunt's family asked him if he was the one he killed, and Zhou Mo asked him to pay for his sister's life. ”
"Anything else?"
"No, really no, I just want to know if his alleged murder is real...... I was sure it was true, so I didn't eavesdrop on it anymore. ”
Lin Feng glanced at him deeply, Jiang Hecheng was uncomfortable, and he only felt that he had been seen through from the inside out, so he nodded, his thoughts were retracted, and he sorted out some messy information that was not recorded in the file he had just gotten, and said, "I know." ”
When Jiang Hecheng heard this, he let out a long breath, only then did he realize that he had been asked and was sweating.
While wiping his sweat, he scolded his mother in his heart.
Damn, that's weird! How could this sense of oppression that Lin Feng gave him feel even more terrifying than being beaten by Wei Zheng?
