Chapter 59: Revealing the Truth, the Ghost Is in My Heart!
Lin Feng's sudden outburst not only stunned Zhao Qian, who had always been arrogant.
also grabbed the eyes of other people at once.
The focus that originally belonged to Lu Chenhe was converted to Lin Feng in an instant.
Lin Feng's voice was not low just now, so the people nearby could hear it clearly.
This made them both surprised that Lin Feng was so sharp-tongued, and also surprised that Lin Feng said that the truth about Lu Chenhe was not the truth!
Obviously, Lu Chenhe's inference was reasonable and well-founded, and in the end, the inference about the prison clothes that could not be searched was even persuaded by Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng.
Why did Lin Feng say that it wasn't the truth?
If this is not the truth, then what is the truth?
Wei Zheng looked at Sun Fujia, seeing that Sun Fujia shook his head in confusion, Wei Zheng's eyes were slightly deep, and he also looked at Lin Feng.
The smile on Lu Chenhe's face disappeared, although Lin Feng was scolding Zhao Qian just now, why wasn't he questioning the truth he had found?
He looked at Lin Feng and frowned, "Young Master Lin, forgive this official for not understanding what you mean, you said that the truth that this official found is not the truth...... Then dare to ask Lin Gongzi, what is wrong with this official? ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.
Zhao Qian also stared at Lin Feng with anger.
Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Lu Changshi, I'm not targeting you, what I say next is all about the case itself, and I hope Lu Changshi can forgive me." ”
Lu Chenhe was exquisite, although Lin Feng's words just now made him lose face a little, but Lin Feng was obviously releasing kindness to him now, he naturally would not continue to keep a cold face, he was good at human feelings, and he smiled directly: "Lin Gongzi, don't worry, this official understands everything, and this official also wants to know what the truth is." ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly, not to appet them, and said, "There are three major doubts in this case. ”
"First, where are the things that pretend to be ghosts? You searched the whole mansion, everywhere, but you didn't find it. ”
Zhao Qian said coldly: "Lu Changshi has said that the person who pretends to be a ghost is still wearing it, so he can't find it!" Do you have bad ears? ”
And will fight back...... Lin Feng said lightly: "Is it really worn on your body?" ”
He looked at the people in the Zhao Mansion and said, "Everyone in the Zhao Mansion is here, why don't we verify each other on the spot and see if anyone is wearing that blood-stained prison uniform?" ”
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Qian's brows furrowed, he looked at Lu Chenhe, Lu Chenhe was still confident in his inference, he nodded and said, "This is the best way to verify!" ”
Wei Zheng glanced at Lin Feng and immediately said, "Men and women go to two rooms to verify." ”
With Wei Zheng's order, the people of the Zhao Mansion suddenly dispersed.
The man went to one room and the woman to another.
And these masters, each with their maidservants or family members, went to verify separately.
Not long after, the door opened.
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion returned.
Lu Chenhe hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion shook their heads: "No!" ”
"No blood-stained prison uniforms found!"
"No bloodstained findings were found."
Lu Chenhe immediately froze in place, his eyes widened, and he was full of disbelief: "No...... How could there not be? ”
Zhao Qian was also stunned: "Why not?" Don't...... Lu Changshi really guessed wrong!? ”
Wei Zheng and Sun Fujia were also full of surprise.
When Lu Chenhe said his speculation, they really thought that it was the truth, after all, they really couldn't think of any other way to hide it except for wearing it on their bodies.
Lu Chenhe looked at Lin Feng fiercely, and said anxiously: "Young Master Lin, there is really no blood-stained prison uniform...... But if not, where would the prison uniform be hidden? I'm sure there will be no lapses in the search. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all busy looking at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled: "I will explain this doubt later, now let's talk about the second doubt." ”
"This second suspicion is what Lu Changshi just said about pretending to be a ghost."
Lu Chenhe frowned and said, "This time it should be right, right?" The official's methods have been proved by Mrs. Zhao. ”
Everyone else nodded.
Lu Chenhe's reasoning techniques are interlocking and completely in line with the situation at the scene, no matter how you think about it, you can't find fault with it.
"And."
Lu Chenhe also said: "This official was able to think of this technique, and he was also inspired by Lin Gongzi, can this be wrong?" ”
When Lin Feng heard this, he said, "Why does Lu Changshi think that I won't be wrong? ”
"What?" Lu Chenhe was stunned.
Lin Feng said slowly: "Reasoning is reasoning after all, and before it is proved by actual evidence, there is a possibility that reasoning will be wrong, and I will do the same." ”
"And when we investigate cases, we often make bold assumptions, carefully verify, if there is a problem in the verification, then even if the assumption seems to be the truth, it is wrong."
"Just like ......"
Lin Feng looked at him: "The trick you just said about pretending to be a ghost." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Feng turned around directly, entered the room, and came under the beam closest to the front of the bed.
He said, "I don't know if you have noticed, but when I heard Mrs. Zhao say that the ghost stopped here, I lowered my head and looked at the ground. ”
Lu Chenhe thought for a while, and then said, "There is such a thing. ”
Lin Feng said: "Actually, my initial thoughts, like Lu Changshi's reasoning, also thought that the ghost relied on a rope to tie himself, and then with the help of the rope's slide, to create a floating effect. ”
"However, when I saw the ground, I denied my suspicion."
Lu Chenhe was puzzled: "Why? Is there anything wrong with this ground? ”
Lin Feng said: "Lu Changshi, please take a look...... This ground, whether it is clean or not. ”
"Of course it's clean."
"Since it's clean...... Isn't that the biggest problem? ”
Lu Chenhe was even more dazed.
Lin Feng looked at the Zhao family and said, "Mrs. Zhao, in your room, are the people usually cleaning diligently?" ”
Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Of course you are diligent, you have to clean it every day." ”
"What about this?" Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed to the beam above his head: "Do they also climb up to clean it every day?" ”
Zhao shook his head: "This is not possible, it is inconvenient to climb up and down, and it is easy to get injured, so our house is every New Year's holiday, and the beams of all rooms will be carefully cleaned." ”
Lin Feng nodded, the merchant mansion was not a palace hall after all, and it didn't need to be cleaned every day.
He looked at Lu Chenhe and said, "Lu Changshi also heard that this room usually doesn't clean the beams, and there are no major festivals recently...... In other words, no matter how clean the room looks, dust will inevitably adhere to the beams. ”
"If you just deduced that the person who pretended to be a ghost relied on a rope to slide, then Lu Changshi might as well think about it, when the rope is tied to the beam, as the person pretending to be a ghost slides with the help of the rope, the rope must be pulled by force, and it will definitely rub the dust, and the result will ......"
Lin Feng lightly touched the ground with his toes and said, "There will definitely be a little dust falling, causing some dust to be stained on the ground." ”
"But now the ground is ...... But it's very clean. ”
Brush it up!
Lu Chenhe's pupils shrank suddenly, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning!
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Lu Chenhe looked at the ground again, and at this moment, he finally understood why Lin Feng was wrong!
There is no dust on the ground, which means that no dust falls!
In the same way, it also represents...... There will be no rope tied to the beam!
Stands for ...... My own inference is completely wrong!
Wrong, really wrong!
Lu Chenhe's face turned pale, and his whole person looked like he had been hit hard.
Zhao Qian suddenly spoke: "What if...... What if the person pretending to be a ghost is very cautious? He wiped the dust off. ”
Lu Chenhe raised his head violently: "Yes, there is still this possibility." ”
Lin Feng said: "I naturally thought of this...... That's why I asked Zhao Fifteen to climb to the beam to check. ”
Lu Chenhe looked at Zhao 15 fiercely, he clearly remembered that Zhao 15 had stood on a stool to check the situation of the beam...... It was that scene that made Lu Chenhe completely firm his inference.
He thought that Zhao Fifteen had discovered something...... Isn't it?
"Zhao Fifteen, tell me what you found." Lin Feng spoke.
Finally able to speak...... Zhao Fifteen took a deep breath and said, "My father-in-law asked me to check the situation on the beam, and let me go and see if there were any traces of dust being wiped off on the beam." ”
"But ......"
He looked at everyone, shook his head, and said, "No...... The beams were covered with dust, but on the dust, there were no traces, except for mine...... Nothing. ”
"That is to say......"
He looked at Lu Chenhe: "There is no trace of a rope tied!" ”
There are no traces of rope being tied......
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but close his eyes, even if he was mentally prepared, but when he really heard the result, he still couldn't help but be shocked.
This is a real fact, and it means that my own inference is really wrong!
I just thought that I was interlocking, I thought I was perfect, and my judgment of pretending to be a ghost was wrong! Couldn't be more wrong!
Sun Fujia and the others were also shocked and speechless.
After all, just now, they all thought the same way.
But now, the facts have proved that they are all wrong!
So how does this ghost flutter?
It's impossible for people to really fly, right?
Zhao Qian's face became more and more ugly, but she could only grit her teeth and couldn't say a word anymore.
It turns out that Lu Chenhe is really wrong, and the facts have proved that he is really holding the truth of the wrong...... Lin Feng was right!
Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian's face froze directly, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Feng anymore, so she looked away.
Lin Feng smiled.
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, took a deep breath, and said, "If it weren't for the rope, then how could he float in?" ”
Everyone else was also busy looking at Lin Feng, and Lu Chenhe also said, "Yes! If it weren't for the rope...... You can't really fly, can you? ”
Lin Feng smiled: "It's the same as the first doubt, I'll talk about it later, and then we'll talk about the third doubt." ”
"What's the doubt?" Lu Chenhe asked, and he deduced these two things.
Lin Feng looked at Lu Chenhe and said, "In Lu Changshi's inference just now, there is a very important thing missing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Bloodlight!"
"Bloodlight?" Lu Chenhe was stunned.
Lin Feng nodded, and he looked at the Zhao family: "Madam Zhao just said that when your husband's ghost appeared, there was a bloody light outside, right?" ”
As soon as Zhao Shi thought of that picture, her face turned extremely pale, she clenched her white hand, nodded and said, "That's right, it's blood light...... Like a sea of blood, the blood light shines on the window and inside the door, which is very terrifying. ”
Lin Feng looked at Lu Chenhe: "This blood light is also a very important factor in the haunted case, but Lu Changshi didn't say how the blood light appeared just now. ”
Lu Chenhe frowned and said, "This official ...... Ignored for a moment. ”
"Then now Lu Changshi may guess, how did this blood light appear?"
Lu Chenhe shook his head and sighed: "No, this official is a mess in his head now, and he can't think of anything." ”
Lin Feng was not surprised, he looked at Sun Fujia and said, "What about Sun Langzhong?" Can you imagine how the bloodlight appeared? ”
Sun Fujia's heart moved, and he couldn't help but recall the blood-colored ghost in the palace haunting case...... He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Could it be...... It's the same as the haunted case in the palace. ”
"Also with torches...... Something red, shine out? ”
Lin Feng said: "This is a way......
But his voice suddenly changed: "But there is one thing, Sun Langzhong needs to know." ”
"It was time for a child...... This is a different place than the situation in the palace at that time. ”
"The fire in the palace is because His Majesty sent people to guard outside the palace, so there should naturally be torches."
"But what about here? At night, when I rested, I just hung two lanterns that were not too bright at the door...... But this candlelight can't create the effect of a large blood shadow at all. ”
"It has to be very bright torches, and a lot of torches to have that very obvious blood glow...... But it's still the same sentence, late at night. ”
Lin Feng said slowly: "In this place where there shouldn't be light, there is such an obvious firelight suddenly, how abrupt and abnormal should this be?" ”
"Is this for fear of not being discovered?"
Sun Fujia frowned.
Lin Feng continued: "And there is one more ...... Mrs. Zhao was stunned, and it was the maid who passed by in the middle of the night and found something abnormal. ”
In other words, there are people walking around the door a lot...... Isn't that ghost afraid that he will be discovered directly before he has time to pretend to be a ghost? ”
Sun Fujia was asked.
He frowned tightly and said, "In this way, there are really some problems, and the risk of exposure is too great." ”
Lu Chenhe suddenly said: "Is it possible that he has an accomplice to watch the wind for him?" ”
Lin Feng said: "Then what does Lu Changshi think, what is the role of the accomplice? ”
Lu Chenhe said naturally: "Of course, it serves as a reminder, if you find someone coming, help extinguish the fire as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "That Lu Changshi seems to have overlooked one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The real intentions of the pretend...... Don't forget, he wants to pretend to be a ghost, he tried his best to create a bloody light, just to make his pretending to be a ghost more real, but at this time, if someone comes, he will directly extinguish the fire, and the blood light will disappear instantly......"
Lin Feng smiled: "How can you pretend to be a ghost?" Isn't this clearly telling Mrs. Zhao that there is something here? ”
"This ......"
Lu Chenhe was completely asked.
Sun Fujia thought for a while and said, "Is there a way to control the people who come to Gong in the middle of the night?" Let them not come out between the hour and the hour? ”
Lin Feng said with a smile: "People have three urgencies, this is the most uncontrollable thing, who can control people who are not allowed to urinate at this time, or have a bad stomach?" Besides, if the order is really given in this way, then it is clear that something is wrong, and we can arrest people according to this now. ”
Sun Fujia couldn't figure it out at all, although Lin Feng's words were more true, they did make sense, when the person pretending to be a ghost was pretending to be a ghost, he had to be more serious!
He looked at the people of the Zhao Mansion and asked, "Your subordinates...... If you want to be respectful, will you take this road? ”
The arrogant and authoritarian Zhao Qian nodded: "I love cleanliness, and I don't allow people to use night pots in the room, so people can only go to the outside toilet." ”
"This road is the closest road to the hut."
That means that the arrival of the handmaid is not a coincidence, it is inevitable, and it is absolutely unavoidable.
Dozens of subordinates, whether they get up at night or not is completely unknown, and once they get up at night, they must pass through this road!
Not to mention creating blood light outside, even if you have a ghost in the room, someone can find it outside through an open door.
How can this matter be more complicated!
Sun Fujia was puzzled, and the others were all frowning.
The more you know, the more mysteries you will unanswer!
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Young Master Lin, you still have to solve our doubts, I really can't figure out any of these three doubts now." ”
Everyone else nodded hurriedly, it was Zhao Qian, and they couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with curiosity.
Seeing this, Lin Feng said, "Before that, I actually had a question, and I wanted to ask Lu Changshi. ”
Lu Chenhe was stunned: "What? ”
Lin Feng said, "Why did Lu Changshi have to search for something pretending to be a ghost? ”
Lu Chenhe was blinded by Lin Feng's words: "I want to catch the person who pretends to be a ghost." ”
"Catch the pretending to be a ghost...... Reasonable, but ......"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "May I ask Lu Changshi, why do you think ...... Is there the one who pretends to be a ghost tonight? ”
"What?"
Lu Chenhe was stunned.
He didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
The eyes of the others widened, and they seemed to understand a little, but they didn't.
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Lu Changshi, as soon as we arrived here, we saw that you were leading people to search for ...... Even I've been led astray by your preconceived ideas, you'......"
Lin Feng looked at the dazed Lu Chenhe and shook his head.
He said, "Didn't you ask what the answer to those three questions was?" ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.
Even Lu Chenhe, who couldn't figure it out, subconsciously raised his head.
I heard Lin Feng say slowly: "To be honest, I don't know ...... either."
"I don't know!?"
Everyone was stunned.
They were completely dumbfounded when they heard Lin Feng say that they didn't know three words.
It was true that they didn't expect Lin Feng to answer like this.
Lin Feng looked at the stunned crowd and said lightly: "Very surprised? If you have to ask me to find a way, how can I find it? ”
"Think about those three doubts, I have just analyzed them with facts, and their existence itself is a contradiction!"
"Something pretending to be a ghost is hidden but can't be found in the mansion, it can float out of thin air without the help of ropes and other mechanisms, and it is impossible to avoid being discovered if you have to use torches to arrange blood light...... Don't you think they're contradictory? Don't you think it's impossible to do that? ”
"So ......"
Lin Feng took a deep breath and said, "Why didn't you think about it...... You can't even think of a way to break your head, are you really too stupid...... Or does the question itself not exist, so the answer does not exist either? ”
The question itself does not exist, so neither does the answer......
When everyone thought about this, they only felt that their brains were buzzing.
There is a feeling of vertigo in the brain.
Even Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng felt that there was an illusion of reversal.
It's not that they don't understand Lin Feng's words, it's that they feel that this seems a little too ridiculous, too ridiculous!
If it is really as Lin Feng said, the problem itself does not exist, then doesn't it mean that there is no so-called person pretending to be a ghost at all, so there is no hidden thing to pretend to be a ghost, there is no floating technique, and even blood light does not exist?
This...... It's ridiculous, so what are they doing? What are they thinking about? What are the officials searching for when they search the mansion?
Lu Chenhe's expression was about to be tight.
Everyone looked strange.
Lin Feng looked at them and said calmly: "In our prison, there is a sentence that I think makes a lot of sense - when all the impossibilities are ruled out by clue logic, the remaining speculation, even if it sounds impossible, is the truth. ”
Saying that, Lin Feng turned around directly, looked at the weak Zhao who was supported by the maidservant, and said slowly: "Mrs. Zhao, I have a few questions I want to ask you. ”
Zhao nodded a little nervously: "You ask." ”
Lin Feng said: "The first question, this so-called ghost, has been ...... from beginning to end Only Mrs. Zhao saw it, and there was no second witness, right? ”
Zhao nodded: "That's right, because it was too late at that time, everyone rested." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to explain to me, she just needs to answer yes or no." ”
Zhao's plain white fingers subconsciously grasped her arm, and she nodded slightly.
Lin Feng continued: "Second question, Mrs. Zhao has been from the time she saw the ghost appear outside the window until the ghost entered your room...... For such a long time, has Mrs. Zhao not made any sound, not even screams, cries for help? ”
Zhao pursed his lips and nodded.
Lin Feng said: "Normally, when a person is half-asleep and half-awake, he should be scared and scream when he sees a ghost, right?" Why didn't Mrs. Zhao make a little noise? ”
"There are people in the room near you, and as long as you shout, they can't hear it, and they can't come to save you, so why don't you make a sound?"
Zhao said: "Because ...... Because I was so frightened that I forgot to shout. ”
"Reasonable, when people are extremely frightened, they do sometimes forget something."
Lin Feng's attitude was very kind, but the questions were more and more tricky: "Third question, when I asked Mrs. Zhao if the ghost of the old man you saw floated in from outside the door two feet above the ground, your answer was yes. ”
"Then I'm curious...... Is your husband as short as a child? Two feet off the ground, can you still float in through the door? ”
"Did he float in in a crouch?"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Yanran said: "Uncle and Sun Langzhong are about the same height. ”
Lin Feng smiled: "Then it is even more impossible to float in while standing, Mrs. Zhao can answer me, how did your master float in through the door two feet above the ground?" ”
Zhao's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this: "The concubine may have seen it wrong." ”
"Did you read it wrong?"
Lin Feng continued: "Fourth question. ”
He looked at Zhao's clothes, squinted his eyes and said, "Madam Zhao, can you explain how those scattered blood spots on your clothes got on them?" ”
Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly lowered his head.
And when she saw the blood spots on her clothes, the whole person was directly like a lightning strike.
"I ...... I ......"
Lin Feng said slowly: "Mrs. Zhao's shoes are very clean, which means that you deliberately avoid the blood on the ground when you enter and exit the door, then I am very curious, how did the blood spots on Mrs. Zhao's clothes appear?" ”
"Originally, when I saw these blood stains, I thought that the person who pretended to be a ghost floated directly above your head, and then sprinkled some blood stains from his head...... But you say, he stopped three feet away from you. ”
"I'm so far away, I don't think I'll be able to spill blood on you, right?"
"Say ...... again"
Lin Feng looked at the clean ground and said, "On the entire ground, there is no trace of any blood spots, which means that even if someone really pretends to be a ghost, he will not drip blood." ”
"Then can Mrs. Zhao explain how the blood on your clothes came from?"
Zhao's face was panicked, but he was silent for a while.
When the others saw this, they were already dumbfounded.
Lu Chenhe was stupid, Zhao Qian's eyes widened, and Sun Fujia, Wei Zheng and others were also shocked.
If they hadn't fully understood Lin Feng's words before, and they couldn't believe it completely, then it would be too stupid for Lin Feng to ask these obviously strongly pointed questions, and they didn't understand it.
"Really, really, what did the official do this night?" Lu Chenhe's expression cracked.
Sun Fujia looked at Lu Chenhe with some pity, hoping that Lu Chenhe would not be hit, he knew Lu Chenhe's feelings too well, and investigating the case with Lin Feng, it was common to be hit.
Not to mention that Lu Chenhe just thought he had solved the case with a high light, and he was really embarrassed to think about it.
However, I didn't expect the truth of the haunting to be like this...... Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng with emotion.
I saw Lin Feng looking at the helpless Zhao family, took a deep breath, and said, "I once said that there are probably two kinds of ghosts in the world, one is someone pretending to be a ghost, and the other is ...... It's the human heart that has a ghost. ”
"The palace haunting case is someone pretending to be a ghost, but this time the ghost ...... Mrs. Zhao, in your heart! ”
