Chapter 61: The Third One!
Zhou Wan'er's room is in a separate small courtyard, and it can be seen that Zhao Deshun really doted on Zhou Wan'er at the beginning.
After all, even the Zhao family does not have a separate courtyard.
This small yard is not big, there is an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, at this time it is the season when the osmanthus is in full bloom, as soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard.
Lin Feng thought that there was also an osmanthus tree at the door of Zhou's room, he looked at the little maid who was picked up by Zhao Fifteen, and said curiously: "Does your master like osmanthus very much?" ”
The little maid was a little timid, and when she heard Lin Feng's words, she raised her head and said, "Because the young master's mother liked osmanthus very much before her death, so after the death of the eldest lady, the old man planted a lot of osmanthus trees to see things and think about people." ”
Lin Feng smiled: "It seems that Master Zhao is still an affectionate person. ”
The little maid nodded hurriedly and said, "The third lady also likes osmanthus flowers, she likes rouge gouache made of osmanthus flowers, and she likes to eat osmanthus cakes...... Many people say that the reason why the lord loved the third lady so much before was because the third lady's preferences were very similar to the eldest lady. ”
"Third lady?" Lin Feng said: "Zhou Wan'er? ”
The little maid nodded.
As they spoke, they came to the door with lanterns.
Since Zhou Wan'er's death, this place has become a forbidden place for the Zhao family, the door is locked, there are no lanterns outside, there is no moonlight at this time, it is dark, and it looks a little eerie.
Lin Feng looked at the lock on the door and said, "Since Zhou Wan'er died, it has been locked?" ”
The little maid nodded: "My aunt said that this place is unlucky, and ordered us to lock it up, and no one is allowed to come near here, except for Wei Gong and them, who came to investigate the case at that time, no one has ever come again." ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly, this is good news, at least it means that this place is still the same as when the crime occurred.
Of course, if there was really a third party, it might not be said how many times he had been secretly here, but it was already excellent to let Lin Feng see the scene of the first crime.
The little maid took out the key to unlock the lock and pushed the door open.
With a creaking sound, a little dust fell from the door, but fortunately the house was not too long vacant and there was not so much dust.
The little maid was a little scared, her eyes didn't dare to look inside, she said: "After you go in, you can see the blood on the bed, it's terrifying." ”
Lin Feng saw the little girl's timidity, and he smiled: "You just wait at the door, if there is something, I will call you again." ”
"Thank you, Young Master Lin."
The little girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly spoke.
Lin Feng smiled and walked in with Zhao Fifteen carrying the lantern.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a table with a cup and a jug, and if you wipe it with your fingers, you can see a thin layer of dust on your fingertips.
Unlike the dust that no one cleans all year round, no one has cleaned it here for more than a month, and the dust is not thick.
Lin Feng lifted the lantern to make the room brighter, and he could see that the layout here was not much different from the layout of the Zhao family's room.
Near the walls are several cabinets, with a screen in front of the bed and a dresser next to the bed.
The only thing that is different from Zhao's room is that there are several small bamboo baskets hanging on the walls here, and some withered osmanthus flowers are placed in the bamboo baskets.
However, there is a bamboo basket that is empty, I don't know if the osmanthus in it was taken away, or if Zhou Wan'er did not put the osmanthus flowers.
The branches withered, the petals fell, and the ground was all over the place.
"I really like osmanthus very much."
Lin Feng nodded with emotion and came to the bed.
Looking at the bed, the first thing I saw was a shocking trace of blood, but the blood had long since dried up, and the blood on the quilt had turned black and red.
According to the bloodstains, Lin Feng could infer that the deceased was lying upwards at that time, and then someone directly stabbed him with a knife, and when he pulled out the knife, blood splattered out suddenly.
"Consistent with what Zhao Minglu said......"
Lin Feng thought for a moment, and then looked at the dresser next to the bed.
I saw a small box on the dresser.
When the box was opened, there were neatly arranged rouge gouaches, and next to the rouge gouache, there were many sachets.
Lin Feng picked up a sachet casually and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
He opened it, and sure enough...... It was full of osmanthus flowers, but it had been too long, the osmanthus flowers had withered, and the fragrance was almost gone.
He opened a few bottles of rouge gouache casually, as the little maid said, they were all scented with osmanthus.
Zhou Wan'er was a walking osmanthus man before her death...... Lin Feng put everything back in its place, and saw some papers next to the box.
He picked up the papers and gently patted the dust on them.
Look up.
"Today, Zhao Qian is making trouble with me again, and I'm so angry! Wait for me to complain to the master! ”
"Zhao Yanran, an outsider, clumsily broke one of my vases, I scolded her and cried, and she swore that she would compensate me for the same three in the future."
"The lord promised to give me a pair of jade bracelets today, and I want to write it down, so that the lord will not regret it."
Looking at the contents on the paper, Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Diary? No, it's more like a memo. ”
"Does Wan'er have a habit of writing down important things this week?"
Lin Feng carefully looked at the contents of the paper, there were more than a dozen pieces of paper in total, and they were densely packed with things that Zhai Dou and Zhao Deshun promised, and Lin Feng was a little dizzy when he saw it.
After reading it, he silently put the paper back, was silent for a moment, and gave an evaluation: "It's a house fighter." ”
Slowly exhaling, Lin Feng stood in front of the bed and looked towards the room.
There is nothing special about the whole room, it looks like an ordinary crime scene, everything is as he expected, a month and a half, not to mention that there is a third party who may come to clean up the clues, even if there is no third party, time will bury a lot of clues.
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't speak, Zhao 15 couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, how is it?" ”
Lin Feng shook his head and was just about to take a step out, when suddenly, his eyes looked at the empty bamboo basket again.
Other bamboo baskets have osmanthus flowers, but this one does not have ...... Does this mean anything?
At this time, anything that seemed to be something that might be abnormal, Lin Feng had to pay extra attention.
He looked out of the door and shouted to the little maid who didn't dare to come in: "There is a bamboo basket without osmanthus in Zhou Wan'er's room, do you know what's going on?" ”
The little maid said blankly: "I don't know...... The third lady did not allow us to enter her room easily, and she had set up her own room. ”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "After Zhou Wan'er was killed, when you came in, was this bamboo basket empty?" ”
"The slave didn't pay much attention to it...... the little maid thought about it seriously, and suddenly said: "I seem to have glanced at it, and it seemed to be empty at that time." ”
Lin Feng nodded, he looked at the bamboo basket, his eyes looked up along the bamboo basket, and a beam was just above the wall where the bamboo basket was located.
He thought for a moment, then looked back at the ground below the beam.
The ground is covered with dust, but the thickness of the dust is the same as everywhere else, nothing special.
Lin Feng's right thumb and index finger rubbed slightly, this was a subconscious action when he was thinking, Zhao Fifteen had already seen Lin Feng do such a small action too many times, and he immediately closed his mouth, held his breath, and didn't dare to disturb Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's brain was already like a marquee, quickly flashing all the things about Zhou Wan'er's murder, Zhao Deshun's death in prison, and every person and every scene he saw after coming to Zhao's mansion.
At the same time, numerous questions began to emerge.
"If there were osmanthus flowers in the bamboo basket, why are they not now?"
"If it wasn't Zhou Wan'er who did it, who would have done it?"
"Why do you have to take the osmanthus?"
"Above the osmanthus is a beam...... Beam, Zhao's pretending to be a ghost is also using the beam to deceive people......"
He unconsciously paced in the room, a detail that he had never cared about, and some things that he couldn't figure out before, at this time, the wind and horses were unrelated, but they were quite unreasonable.
"Is it ......?"
Lin Feng stopped suddenly, suddenly looked at the beam above, and said, "Zhao Fifteen, go and have a look, just like in Zhao's room." ”
When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he didn't say a word, and directly moved a stool.
He quickly stepped on the stool, grabbed the beam with his arms outstretched, and then performed a pull-up motion, sticking his head over the beam and looking up.
Lin Feng held the lantern aloft so that Zhao Shifu could use the brightness of the lantern to see the situation on the beam.
The next moment, Lin Feng saw Zhao Shifteen's eyes widen suddenly, and his whole expression was full of surprise.
"How?" Lin Feng asked hurriedly.
Zhao Fifteen lowered his head and looked at Lin Feng and said, "Father-in-law, there are traces...... A big piece of trace! ”
Lin Feng's eyes flashed suddenly, and many unsolved mysteries seemed to be suddenly unsolved at this moment, he let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile: "Sure enough." ”
Zhao Wufu jumped down, looked at Lin Feng busily, and said, "Father-in-law, this ...... What's going on? ”
Lin Feng stood under the beam, turned his head to look at the blood-stained bed, his dark eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space at this moment, and he saw the night when Zhao Minglu did it again.
He saw Zhao Minglu pick up the door latch in a panic, saw Zhao Minglu nervously carrying a dagger to the bed, and then saw Zhao Minglu kill people, and then fled in a hurry......
Finally, he looked up at the beam overhead, and he saw ...... A figure lay here, revealing a pair of cold eyes, staring at all this indifferently.
Sure enough, there is a third party!
