Lin Feng listened to Deng Xun's words and looked towards the room.

I saw that the doors and windows of the room in front of me were closed, and there were officials of Dali Temple guarding the door, even the servants of the Deng Mansion, who couldn't get close.

Xiao Yu's voice came: "After the official learned that Mrs. Deng ran away from home and disappeared, he asked people to guard this room and not allow anyone to enter and leave at will, so as not to destroy the clues in the room, and it is not easy to find Mrs. Deng." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that Xiao Yu was actually worried that the Four Elephants Organization was involved in this matter, and he was afraid that people would destroy all the clues, so he specially asked people to block this place.

When he first heard about this, he also had the same concerns, but he quickly ruled out this possibility, in addition to the reasons he had just said to Xiao Yu, but also because the guards had passed the letter safely, if the guards had an accident and the letter was cut off, it could really be the Four Elephants Organization.

But nothing happened to the guards, and the guards' loyalty was proven...... If the guard was a member of the Four Elephants Organization, when he was calculating Zhou Zheng, the guard had every opportunity to inform Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng would not be confused and calculated by himself.

Therefore, the fact that the letter was not cut off and that the guards were loyal enough to prove that the Four Elephants Organization could not know about Lady Deng faster than they did.

But that can only mean that the Four Elephants Organization was later than them before this, but it may not be the case after that...... After all, Xiao Yu's actions are not secretive, and the Four Elephants Organization may have speculated that Jin Hai is in the hands of Mrs. Deng.

So now it's up to them to find Madame Deng's traces one step earlier.

Fortunately, the Four Elephants Organization is not like Xiao Yu, they can swagger to investigate and search, they can't get in touch with first-hand clues, and they can only search in secret, after all, they are constrained, and the speed may not be faster than Xiao Yu and them, but it always gives Lin Feng some sense of urgency.

Lin Feng thought as he entered the room.

Pushing open the door, Lin Feng checked the latch, Deng Xun saw this, and said, "We have already checked it, there is no problem with the latch, there is no trace of damage." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

When you enter the room, look ahead.

At the entrance, there is a table with a teapot and a teacup on it, and next to it, there is a small tray on which a porcelain wine bottle and two small cups are placed.

Lin Feng walked to the table, picked up the wine bottle, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, shook it lightly, and said, "Full?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded: "It's full, the wine is a good wine, according to what the maid said, it was Mrs. Deng who sent the maid into the room in the evening before she ran away from home." ”

Lin Feng put down the wine bottle and asked, "Does the maidservant know why Mrs. Deng asked her to send wine?" ”

Xiao Yu shook her head: "The maidservant doesn't know either." ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, his eyes looking around.

There are some calligraphy stickers hanging on the walls for decoration, there are no paintings, only words.

He said to Deng Xun: "Mrs. Deng likes calligraphy? ”

Deng Xun nodded hurriedly: "How does Lin Sicheng know?" That's right, Mrs. She likes to copy famous calligraphy, and because of this, she has practiced a good hand. ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "There are a total of eight calligraphy on the wall, all of which are masterpieces, but there is not a single painting, it is not difficult to infer that she likes calligraphy." ”

Deng Xun couldn't help but say: "Lin Sicheng is really discerning and meticulous in his observations. ”

A person who is worthy of being a minister is the art of knowing language...... Lin Feng continued to look, and there was a cabinet against the wall under the calligraphy, and the door of the cabinet was open at this moment.

Lin Feng walked closer and checked the situation inside, only to see that the clothes in the wardrobe were very messy, as if they had fallen out and then been casually stuffed in.

Seeing Lin Feng looking at the wardrobe, Deng Xun said: "The maidservant has counted, and there are a total of six sets of Madame's clothes missing, all of which Madame usually likes to wear." ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, walked through the screen, and saw that in front of the bed, there was a bath bucket, the bath bucket was filled with water, and on the stool next to it, there was a small flower basket, and there were some autumn chrysanthemum petals in the flower basket.

"This is also what Mrs. Deng put here before she ran away from home?" Lin Feng asked.

Deng Xun said: "That's right, it was sent in with the wine." ”

Lin Feng looked at the bath bucket, the water surface was clear, and it looked like he hadn't washed it yet.

His eyes narrowed, and he stared at the bed.

The bed was very neat and clean, the quilt was folded very straight, and it did not spread out, it seems that Mrs. Deng did not rest here that night.

He finally came to the dresser and looked at it.

I saw that there were several boxes on the dresser, most of which were open and empty.

Xiao Yu came to Lin Feng's side and said in a low voice: "These are Mrs. Deng's jewelry boxes, and the golden hairpin is packed here...... But it has been taken away by Mrs. Deng. ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Mrs. Deng has a lot of jewelry, right?" ”

Deng Xun said: "There are a lot, my wife is a young lady from a big family, she has a lot of jewelry since she was a child, and after marrying me, I have never been short of her jewelry." ”

Lin Feng picked up a box casually and said slowly: "With so many jewelry, the weight is definitely not light...... How much does Mrs. Deng love these jewelry, she doesn't leave any of them, she has to take them all away? ”

Deng Xun was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Maybe I really can't give up any of them." ”

"Surely."

Lin Feng straightened up and looked around the room.

There are no signs of a fight in the room, the floor is clean and tidy, nothing special.

Xiao Yu saw that Lin Feng had finished inspecting and asked, "Zide, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "At present, there is no sign that it was forcibly taken away. ”

Deng Xun said blankly: "Madame left by herself, she also left a farewell letter, how could she be taken away?" ”

Lin Feng smiled: "We are also ruling out many possibilities. ”

He looked at Deng Xun and asked, "Where is the farewell letter?" ”

Deng Xun hurriedly pointed to a small closed box on the dresser and said, "There it is." ”

This box was placed on the very side, Lin Feng picked it up, opened the lid, and saw some shredded pieces of paper lying in it.

He brought the box to the table and poured out the shredded paper inside.

Deng Xun said: "I helped Lin Sicheng put it together...... The paper was torn by Madame, and if it was placed in the open, we were afraid that the wind would blow it open when we opened the door, so we put it in the box. ”

As he spoke, he quickly put it together, and it didn't take long to put it together into a complete piece of paper.

"Lin Sicheng, you see, this is the farewell letter left by Madame."

Lin Feng looked up.

I saw a line of words on this torn and cracked piece of paper.

"I'm leaving, don't come to me."

The content is simple, just eight words.

The words were torn apart, torn to pieces, and there was no shredded paper on which two words could be seen, and it would be very difficult to piece them together if it weren't for the small number of words.

Looking at these words, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Confirm, is this Mrs. Deng's handwriting?" ”

Deng Xun nodded hurriedly: "Although I don't know much about calligraphy, it is indeed Mrs.'s handwriting, and there are some calligraphy books that Mrs. has practiced in my study, I have compared them, and it is definitely Mrs.'s handwriting." ”

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Can this official take a look at your lady's copybook?" ”

Deng Xun was stunned for a moment: "Lin Sicheng also wants to compare?" ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "If you don't compare it with your own eyes, you won't feel at ease after all, after all, it's about whether Mrs. Deng really ran away from home." ”

When Deng Xun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll let someone bring it over." ”

"No need."

Lin Feng directly put these shredded pieces of paper into the box, and said with a smile: "Let's go get it together, drink some tea by the way, don't hide it from Deng Yuanwailang, we have been on the road for more than four days, the boat and car are tiring, and after arriving in Chang'an, we didn't have time to drink a sip of water, so we came over, and now I feel that my throat is about to crack." ”

When Deng Xun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why didn't Lin Sicheng say it earlier, I will let my subordinates prepare tea." ”

Lin Feng picked up the box and said, "Let's go, it's not appropriate to eat and drink here, so as not to destroy the clues we didn't find." ”

"Okay." Deng Xun led the way directly in front: "The study is here." ”

Soon, they came to Deng Xun's study.

Deng Xun's study is not large, there is only a small space at the entrance, and on the right hand side next to the wall is a bookshelf, which is full of books.

Three steps ahead is the desk.

It was a desk that looked old, with red lacquer, and the wood under the vermilion lacquer could be seen in some places.

There are a few potholes in the wood, and some places are coated with layers of red paint, which look different shades, thinking that the vermilion paint has fallen off and been painted again.

Seeing Lin Feng looking at the desk, Deng Xun said: "This is still passed down from my father, I am more nostalgic, so I haven't changed it, and now it does look a little inappropriate, I am going to replace it in a few days, and it is time to replace it with a new one." ”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves to chase away the flies standing in the corner of the table, and said, "It's late autumn, and there are still so many flies." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Flies in late autumn are the most powerful, they will bite people more than mosquitoes, but they won't live long, and if it's colder, they won't be visible." ”

Deng Xun nodded as he found some paper.

He placed the papers on the table and said, "This is what Madame used to write." ”

Lin Feng came to the table, first put together the farewell letter in the box, and then unfolded a piece of paper casually.

Looking at the paper, I saw the delicate words suddenly come into view.

"Hooligans, hugging cloth trade silk. Bandits come to trade silk, and I will seek ...... when they come."

Looking at the familiar content, the memory of high school suddenly backstabbed Lin Feng.

It's a coincidence that Lin Feng not only knows this poem, but also recites it in full.

This is a poem in the "Book of Songs", which tells the story of a woman's process of falling in love, getting married, and changing into a breakup, combined with Deng Xun saying that he wanted to take a concubine, which caused Mrs. Deng to be unhappy and even run away from home, this poem is really suitable for the occasion.

It can be seen that Mrs. Deng is really dissatisfied with Deng Xun.

He didn't pay attention to the meaning of the poem, but focused on the handwriting, comparing the handwriting of the poem with the handwriting on the farewell letter.

Because there were the same words on the two pieces of paper, even if Lin Feng was not a professional, he could see that these words were indeed written by one person.

He looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also nodded: "This official has also compared, and it is not written by others who imitate it." ”

Xiao Yu's calligraphy attainments are by no means comparable to Lin Feng, even Xiao Yu said so, then there is no problem.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the maidservant brought the tea.

Deng Xun personally poured tea for Xiao Yu, Lin Feng and others.

Lin Feng sat on the stool, holding the teacup in both hands, looked at Deng Xun, and said, "Deng Yuanwailang, on the night your wife left, were you in the study all the time?" ”

Deng Xun nodded: "Yes, at that time, the official still had a lot of official business to complete, so he could only be busy in the study, I was busy until I was fast, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I accidentally fell asleep on the table." ”

"Deng Yuanwailang is really hard."

"In his position, he should do his job."

Lin Feng said: "Deng Yuanwailang, has it been so hard these days? Haven't been to your room to rest? ”

Deng Xun hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from Lin Sicheng, in fact, it's not that it's so hard every day, it's just that Madame is not very happy, and I don't bother to look at Madame's face." ”

Lin Feng understood, whatever hard work was an excuse, he didn't want to quarrel with his wife, and he didn't want to be coaxed by three low breaths.

He said: "When was the last time Deng Yuanwailang saw Mrs. Deng? ”

Deng Xun said: "Have dinner, and I will come to the study after dinner." ”

"When was the last time the others saw Madame Deng?" Lin Feng asked again.

Xiao Yu spoke at this time: "The official asked, the maid who sent Mrs. Deng the wine and bath bucket was the last to see Mrs. Deng, it was about three o'clock in the morning, after sending the wine and bath bucket, Mrs. Deng let the maidservants leave, and they didn't need to serve." ”

"No one has seen Madame Deng since then?" Lin Feng asked.

Xiao Yu nodded: "It rained a lot that night, Mrs. Deng didn't give any more orders, and everyone was working or resting in their rooms, and no one ran around." ”

"It's still raining?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

They didn't encounter any heavy rain on the way.

"That's right." Deng Xun said: "It rained a lot that night, and we all hid in the room and didn't go out...... How sad and disappointed was Madame that she would choose to leave on such a rainy night? ”

Saying that, Deng Xun's face became more anxious and worried: "Madame has been dressed and fed since she was a child, and she has been served by people, she has never experienced the rain and the wind, and if she leaves in the middle of the night in the rainstorm, will she be wet by the rain?" Will I get caught by wind chill after getting wet...... It's been more than two days, and we haven't found her yet, so will there be any accidents with her? ”

Looking at Deng Xun's anxious appearance, Xiao Yu couldn't help but comfort: "Deng Yuanwailang relax, we have now searched all the places we can find, Mrs. Deng's maiden home, the places where Mrs. Deng usually goes, and even the twenty-mile radius outside Chang'an City, but Mrs. Deng has not been found, which certainly means that Mrs. Deng's whereabouts are unknown, but it also means that Mrs. Deng may still be safe." ”

There was a word he didn't say...... Not finding the body is the best thing until she is found.

However, it was too cold to say this, and Deng Xun, who was afraid of stimulation, was even more anxious.

After Xiao Yu comforted Deng Xun, he looked at Lin Feng, Lin Feng already knew everything he knew, and he didn't know if Lin Feng could find any clues, at least where Mrs. Deng might go.

They couldn't find Mrs. Deng using crowd tactics, and all they could rely on now was Lin Feng's ability to solve the case, hoping that Lin Feng could find any special clues and deduce Mrs. Deng's whereabouts.

At this time, Xiao Yu saw that Lin Feng suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something.

I saw Lin Feng looking at Deng Xun and said, "Deng Yuan Wailang, this official has a speculation, this may be very bad news for you, I hope Deng Yuan Wailang can hold on." ”

Deng Xun was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and said, "What does Lin Sicheng mean?" ”

Xiao Yu, Sun Fujia and the others were also busy looking at Lin Feng.

Then they saw Lin Feng sigh, looked at Deng Xun, his voice was low, and said slowly: "If there is no accident...... I think that Mrs. Deng may not have run away from home, but ...... has already been killed. ”

"What!?"

When everyone heard Lin Feng's words, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Deng Xun stood up suddenly.

His eyes trembled violently, his hands trembled, and he looked at Lin Feng in horror: "Lin Sicheng, you ...... Why do you say that? ”

Xiao Yu and Sun Fujia were also very puzzled.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "First of all, in Mrs. Deng's room, there are drinks and bathtubs that she specially asked her maid to send. ”

"This shows that she wants to take a good bath of petals and then have a good drink."

"Let's ask a lady Deng who is desperate and wants to escape from this home, how can she have the leisure to take a petal bath? What kind of alcohol to drink? ”

"Of course, you can also say that she just wants to take a good shower before leaving, and then get drunk before leaving."

"But the bottle was full, and it didn't move!"

"The water in the tub was clean, and the petals in the basket were not touched."

"It all means something is wrong, it doesn't make sense! It's not like she doesn't want to do it......"

Lin Feng looked at Deng Xun with his eyes and said, "So, the only reasonable explanation is that your wife originally wanted to drink and take a petal bath...... However, before she could drink and take a shower, she encountered an accident! So that she will never have a chance to drink and take a bath again. ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Deng Xun's face turned pale in an instant.

His mouth was open, and his voice was shaking: "Is this really the case?" ”

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, he looked at Lin Feng, and said: "Zide, in fact, the official also thinks that there is a problem with this bathtub and wine, but other than that, we have not found any other problems, Mrs. Deng's clothes and jewelry were taken away, and Mrs. Deng also left a farewell letter written by herself, and the back door was also open...... These things prove that Mrs. Deng is running away from home. ”

"We have limited manpower, and when the likelihood of running away from home is much higher than other accidents, we can only focus our efforts on running away from home."

Lin Feng nodded, he could understand Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu has rich experience in handling cases, everything he just said is on the bright side, and it is impossible for Xiao Yu not to notice the abnormality.

But the anomaly is only this, and the rest of the information points to running away from home, Xiao Yu is short of time and has limited manpower, so he can only give priority to the most likely runaway.

"Xia Guan understands Xiao Gong's choice, but Xiao Gong ......"

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly, "Have you ever thought about it...... The clues you think are running away from home are actually to deceive you and make you believe that Mrs. Deng ran away from home? ”

Xiao Yu's eyes changed, and he said, "Deceive us? ”

"What do you mean...... Are these clues fake? ”

Deng Xun's eyes widened and said, "How could it be fake?" The farewell letter written by Mrs. is here, and you have also seen Lin Sicheng, that handwriting is Mrs.'s handwriting! ”

Xiao Yu also nodded, it was precisely because of this farewell letter that he was more sure that Mrs. Deng ran away from home.

After all, handwriting is not forgery.

Lin Feng looked at Deng Xun and said, "The official didn't say that the words in the farewell letter were not written by Mrs. Deng. ”

"Why is the Lin Temple still there?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "What the official said is...... The words in the farewell letter were indeed written by Mrs. Deng, but the official didn't say that this farewell letter was also written by her......"

"What?"

Deng Xun was stunned.

Even Xiao Yu was a little confused.

They looked at Lin Feng in complete confusion.

I saw Lin Feng put the teacup aside, stood up, and walked to the table.

Then he pointed to the farewell letter on the table and said, "Let's take a closer look, look at the way this letter was torn, do you think anything is wrong?" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to check.

But they looked left and right, up and down, and they didn't feel anything wrong.

Lin Feng prompted: "Mainly look at the words...... If you take a closer look, are there not any fragments on the fragments of these papers...... Two words at the same time? Or is there part of both words at the same time? ”

Listening to Lin Feng's prompt, everyone took a closer look.

Sun Fujia couldn't help but widen his pupils, and said: "That's true, on every fragment, there is only one word part, and there are no two words on any piece of shredded paper. ”

Deng Xun frowned and said, "But what does this represent?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Deng Xun and said, "Tearing the paper normally, if you don't deliberately avoid two words on the same fragment, what a coincidence...... In order to lead to so many fragments, even if two words are a small dot, they can't enter the same fragment? ”

"And you'll have a look at ...... again."

Lin Feng picked up two fragments of two words from the farewell letter, and he said: "You can feel these two pieces of paper, although they don't seem to have any difference in color, but after carefully rubbing them with your hands, you can still feel that the smoothness is different. ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Champion Lang Sun Fujia immediately stretched out his hand and felt it carefully.

Then his eyes widened: "It's really different, it's not the same paper!" ”

As he spoke, he came to the papers that Deng Xun had moved, quickly sensed the papers with his hands, and finally pulled out two pieces of paper from them, and said, "This fragment with these two words is consistent with the feeling of these two pieces of paper." ”

Champion Lang really deserves to be the champion Lang, worthy of the encyclopedia of ancient knowledge, and can always help himself in ancient culture at critical moments.

Lin Feng looked at Deng Xun and said, "Deng Yuanwailang, did you buy these two pieces of paper at the same time?" ”

Deng Xun frowned, carefully checked the contents on the paper, and then said, "It seems that I didn't buy it at the same time." ”

Lin Feng said: "In the same farewell letter, there are two different pieces of paper on the fragments of the words, do you still think this farewell letter has any credibility?" ”

Deng Xun couldn't help but say, "Then what's going on?" ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with essence, and he said slowly: "Obviously, someone killed or kidnapped Mrs. Deng, and deliberately forged a farewell letter in order to hide the truth. ”

But he was afraid that the imitation of Mrs. Cai's words would be discovered, so he thought of this trick...... By picking out these words separately from the paper written by Mrs. Deng, they were torn out to form the content of the farewell letter. ”

But in doing so, he would be discovered at once, so he found another piece of paper, tore the notches from the words, and then tore the words and the paper again, tearing them into smaller pieces...... In this case, because it is all fragments, other people will not think of it at all...... Those words, in fact, are all fake. ”

"A farewell letter that looks perfect, and that's how ...... was born"

Lin Feng put the fragment back on the table, changed his voice, and said, "It's just a pity that this person doesn't know much about paper, and he can't tell the difference between paper, leaving such a flaw, so that we can see through his tricks." ”

Listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Deng Xun couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, his face turned pale, and his tone was anxious: "How could this be...... This farewell letter turned out to be a forgery! Why didn't I find out! ”

Even Xiao Yu was surprised, he read the farewell letter no less than five times, but he didn't even think that the letter was forged.

"Then my wife...... Now, where is it now? She, is she still alive? Deng Xun hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and asked in a panic.

Lin Feng pressed the table, his eyes were heavy, and said, "Mrs. Deng didn't take the initiative to leave, but that person took Mrs. Deng's clothes and jewelry away, and even opened the back door of your mansion...... It is obvious that it is deliberately to make us think that Mrs. Deng has run away from home. ”

"His purpose is to keep your attention on the outside and look for Madame Deng elsewhere......"

"If Madame Deng is taken captive, I think that thief should avoid being searched by you like this, after all, it will put him at risk of being exposed."

He looked at the crowd, "So...... We use normal logic to speculate that the purpose of the thieves is to make you think that Madame Deng has run away from home, so that you can focus on searching outside...... Then we can extrapolate backwards, and we can get ...... The thieves don't want you to focus on the conclusion here in the Deng Mansion. ”

When Xiao Yu and Sun Fujia heard Lin Feng's words, their pupils shrank suddenly, and their faces changed instantly.

Deng Xun also quickly understood what Lin Feng meant, and his voice was trembling: "But, the people have already searched the entire mansion that morning...... I didn't find the lady. ”

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It is precisely because they didn't find Mrs. Deng that they are the most troublesome, because they have searched all the places where the living will be, but they haven't found it." ”

"This only proves ...... Mrs. Tang stayed where only the dead could be. ”

In other words......

He looked at Deng Xun and sighed, "Your wife, you're dead...... And the corpse is hidden somewhere in your house where it doesn't see the light of day! ”
