As Lin Feng's voice fell, Xiao Yu didn't say a word, and directly ordered someone to bring Cao Wenqing from the Ministry of Works, Qi Chengqiang, the commander of Guoyi, and Yu Shi Zenghe, the servant of the Imperial Historical Stage.

At the same time, a group of officials who were shivering outside who were blown by the cold wind came to the study, and asked them to serve as witnesses to witness Lin Feng's process of finding the murderer.

It didn't take long for the study to be full of people inside and out.

Lin Feng stood in front of the corpse, with Zhao Fifteen on one side and Xiao Yu on the other, and directly opposite them were the three suspects who were brought in.

At this time, Cao Wenqing and the three of them came to the nearest place, and they all hurriedly spoke.

"Xiao Siqing, Lin Sizheng, I heard that you already know who the murderer is! Are you sure? Who is the murderer? Who harmed Wang Sizheng? Cao Wenqing couldn't wait to speak.

Qi Chengqiang's hands were clenched into fists, his tiger eyes were full of ferocity and murderous intent, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who killed Ben Jiang Engong!?" Ben will definitely crush his bones to ashes! ”

Yushi Zenghe's face was also cold, and his eyes were full of sadness and hatred: "Wang Si is diligent, conscientious, and cautious, and is an example for hundreds of officials. ”

The three of them were angry, sad, or murderous, the words they said and the expressions they showed were completely in line with their identities and the relationship between Wang Qinyuan, Xiao Yu looked up and down, and he didn't see any problems with anyone's performance.

This made him feel in his heart, this thief is really good at disguise, and he can't see any flaws at all.

Thinking of the arrangement made by the thief tonight, Xiao Yu felt that this thief was even more difficult, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his eyes were full of relief, if it wasn't for Lin Feng, with this thief's cunning calm and disguise, he really couldn't find him tonight.

Fortunately, there is Lin Feng in Dali Temple!

Lin Feng's eyes fell calmly on the three of them, listening to their words, he said slowly: "Your anger and anger, the official is very clear, and the official called you over to find out the real culprit, so what the official did next and what he said may be a little inappropriate, but I also hope that you can cooperate with the official, because only in this way can we find out the real culprit and avenge Wang Sizheng." ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Cao Wenqing and the three of them nodded heavily.

Lin Feng bowed his head slightly and said, "Then let's start." ”

Cao Wenqing and the others, colleagues in Dali Temple, and dozens of officials outside all focused their eyes on Lin Feng.

This is the first time that Lin Feng has reasoned and decided a case in front of so many officials, but Lin Feng's expression is not unusual, neither nervous nor excited, he is as always, his tone is calm: "First of all, let's share with you the clues we have found so far." ”

"First, Wang Sizheng has no traces of a fight on his body, he has not had any resistance, which means that the murderer must be a person that Wang Sizheng is very familiar with, only in this way can he be directly opposite Wang Sizheng, and Wang Sizheng was defenseless, and a knife was stabbed into Wang Sizheng's heart, and Wang Sizheng had no time to react."

"Second, we have inquired about the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, according to what the guards said, from the time Cao Langzhong saw Wang Sizheng, until Zeng Yushi led people to inquire about Wang Sizheng's whereabouts, in that half an hour, only Cao Langzhong, Qi Duwei and Zeng Yushi came to the study, combined with the first point that the murderer was a person that Wang Sizheng knew and trusted, we can conclude that ......"

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing and the others, and said slowly: "The murderer is among the three of you!" ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Cao Wenqing's faces changed suddenly.

They couldn't help but look at each other, and instantly distanced themselves from each other.

And the onlookers were also staring at Cao Wenqing and the three of them tightly at this time, with disbelief expressions on their faces.

It was really Cao Wenqing's angry words just now, which made them really hard to believe that the murderer would be among the three.

Wang Hao's mother and son looked at Cao Wenqing and the three of them in disbelief, after all, they knew too well how good the relationship between Cao Wenqing and Wang Qinyuan was, and they would come to visit them every New Year's Day...... didn't expect that the person closest to Wang Qinyuan would be the murderer!

For a while, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Who could the murderer be?"

"It feels like no one is possible!"

"Yes, Cao Langzhong, Qi Duwei, and Zeng Yushi, no one looks like such a cruel murderer."

Officials whispered.

Cao Wenqing and the three of them also frowned, looking at each other vigilantly, and at the same time asking Lin Feng about the identity of the murderer.

When Lin Feng heard this, he continued: "Don't worry, everyone, and listen to what this official says little by little. ”

The crowd was busy silencing.

Lin Feng said: "Everyone, please look at your feet, on the ground of the study, there are some blood marks, these blood marks have been identified by the official, and it is determined that they are footprints, but the murderer wiped the footprints in order to hide his clues, making them very blurry, and we can't judge the identity of the murderer based on the blood marks." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked down.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Still."

At this time, Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed, and he said, "Although the footprints were destroyed by the murderer, there is still one thing that we know...... That is, the murderer's feet must be stained with blood! ”

"Therefore, when the official questioned Cao Langzhong and the three of them, they all asked them to lift the soles of their shoes, so that the official could see the situation of their soles."

"And the result ......"

Lin Feng's gaze swept over Cao Wenqing and the others, and under the nervous gaze of Cao Wenqing and the others, he said, "The soles of the three of you are stained with blood. ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Cao Wenqing and the three of them were stunned.

The onlookers watched their eyes widened instantly, and their expressions were directly stunned.

"All three have blood under their feet?"

"How is that possible? Could it be that all three of them did it? ”

"What are you kidding, there is only one knife, only one wound, how can it be that all three of them have done it!"

"What's going on?"

The officials looked at Lin Feng with a confused expression.

Cao Wenqing and the three of them were even more anxious.

Cao Wenqing hurriedly said: "Lin Sizheng, this official has no idea why there is blood under my feet!" I really didn't kill people! ”

Qi Chengqiang was also at a loss: "When did Ben get blood under his feet?" I don't know at all. ”

Zeng He frowned: "The official doesn't know why there are blood stains under his feet." ”

All three denied the blood under their feet.

When everyone saw it, they were even more dazed.

And Lin Feng's expression remained the same, he had been paying attention to the expressions of the three of them, seeing the three of them explaining, he said slowly: "There is only one murderer, but the soles of the three of them are stained with blood, so there is only one reason that can be explained, ......"

The three of them stared at Lin Feng and listened to Lin Feng's words: "In order to get rid of the suspicion that he was stained with blood, the murderer deliberately let the other two people also have blood stains under their feet, so that all of you will be suspected together and reduce the danger of being discovered." ”

When Cao Wenqing heard this, he immediately looked at each other angrily, but the three of them all had framed and angry expressions, and they still couldn't see who was weak-hearted.

Xiao Yu also knows countless people, but at this time, he can't see through who is pretending.

Not to mention other officials, they can't find out the truth.

"However, the murderer did this, which certainly increased the number of suspected people to three, but also allowed him to leave physical evidence that could identify him."

"Physical evidence!?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and listened to Lin Feng say: "The murderer was accidentally stained with blood, so thinking of using bloodstains to frame other people must be a temporary idea, and in this case, if the murderer wants to frame others, he must bring the blood out, that is to say, ......"

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing and the three of them and said, "The murderer must use a vessel containing blood. ”

"But there is nothing in this study that can hold blood, and the murderer does not dare to use Wang Sizheng's things...... All he could use was what he happened to carry with him! ”

"And this vessel of blood, we have found it."

As he spoke, Lin Feng directly opened his palm, letting everyone see the small porcelain bottle he had been holding.

"That's?"

"It seems to be a very common small porcelain bottle used to hold pills in a pharmacy."

"It's a small porcelain vase, there is no pattern at all, it's very ordinary."

"When the official grabbed the medicine last month, he used such a small porcelain bottle."

Officials instantly recognized the purpose of the small porcelain vase.

Lin Feng listened to their words and nodded slightly: "That's right, this is indeed the most common small porcelain bottle used to hold medicine." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out the porcelain vase in front of Cao Wenqing and the others, and said, "Cao Langzhong, Qi Duwei, Zeng Yushi...... Please take a closer look, I wonder if you have this porcelain vase? ”

Cao Wenqing frowned, and after looking at it carefully, he shook his head.

Qi Chengqiang just glanced at it, and said directly: "Ben Jiang is in good health, and he hasn't been sick once in a few years, so I haven't seen it." ”

Zeng He frowned and shook his head: "This official doesn't recognize it either." ”

All three of them denied Sanlian, and they didn't know if they didn't recognize it as mine.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Haven't you seen the three of you?" Could it be that this porcelain vase fell from the sky and appeared out of thin air? ”

The three frowned and remained silent.

Lin Feng said slowly: "The official just said that the murderer's use of porcelain bottles to fill blood was a temporary thought of after he accidentally got blood under his feet, so this porcelain bottle of medicine must have been carried by the murderer, so it means ......"

Lin Feng's eyes first looked at Zeng He, then at Cao Wenqing, and said slowly: "This murderer must be suffering from a disease. ”

"So three of you, may I ask you...... Are you suffering from illness? ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zeng He's face changed suddenly, and those who were familiar with him instantly turned their eyes on Zeng He.

"I remember that Zeng Yushi seems to have been infected with the wind and cold these days, and he has not been well."

"That's right! Zeng Yushi still smelled of medicine two days ago! ”

"Zeng Yushi coughed for a while today."

"Infected ...... With a medicine bottle, could it be that the murderer is Zeng Yushi!? ”

There was an uproar.

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Zeng He.

Cao Wenqing and Qi Chengqiang also looked at Zeng He with wide eyes.

Cao Wenqing couldn't believe it: "Zeng Yushi, did you kill Wang Sizheng?" ”

Qi Chengqiang gritted his teeth: "I didn't expect you to have such vicious thoughts with thick eyebrows and big eyes!" ”

Even Xiao Yu's eyes were fixed on Zeng He, it was really all the evidence now, pointing to Zeng He.

Zeng He's face turned pale, he quickly shook his head, his expression was full of panic, and he said, "It's not me!" I and Wang Si are old friends, how could I kill him! ”

"Although I did get the wind chill, this porcelain vase really wasn't mine! I didn't bring a medicine bottle tonight! ”

Zeng He kept denying it.

But now, the matter of the porcelain vase made everyone unable to believe his words.

He said he didn't bring it, he didn't bring it? Who can prove it?

If someone can prove it, then Zeng He would have said it a long time ago, and he wouldn't say what he didn't bring, which is really not convincing at all.

Zeng He saw that everyone was looking at him with distrust, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and hurriedly said: "Lin Sizheng, you have to believe me, I really didn't lie, it's true that I'm sick, but this porcelain vase is not mine, it's also true!" ”

Lin Feng took Zeng He's expression into his eyes and said slowly: "Zeng Yushi, don't worry, this official has a question for the three of you." ”

The three of them hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

I heard Lin Feng say: "When you just put out the fire, the three of you, did anyone carry a bucket through the road next to the garden?" ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Cao Wenqing said: "This official is anxious to put out the fire, and he did walk that road with a bucket. ”

Qi Chengqiang also nodded: "Ben will be holding two buckets in both hands, and I can't wait to have one on my head." ”

I know you have a lot of strength...... Lin Feng understood that Qi Chengqiang had also walked that road.

Lin Feng finally looked at Zeng He, but Zeng He shook his head: "I have been infected with the wind and cold these days, my body is uncomfortable, my hands and feet are weak, I can't lift a bucket, so I can only work in this courtyard in a hurry." ”

"What!?"

Hearing Zeng He's words, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly widened.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his face full of surprise.

According to Lin Feng and his inference, the murderer must have spilled blood to make the other two people be tricked, and when he was carrying a bucket to fetch water, he passed by the garden and secretly hid the porcelain vase among the flowers to prevent them from searching for the porcelain vase from the murderer.

So, the murderer must have passed through the garden road.

But Zeng He, who was the most suspicious, said that he didn't!

Doesn't this mean that Zeng He is not a murderer!?

Xiao Yu couldn't help but say, "Have you ever left the yard after the fire?" ”

Zeng He shook his head: "Xiaguan has always been here, he has never left, and the colleagues next to Xiaguan can prove it." ”

Xiao Yu's face changed completely, his brows tightened, no matter how surprised Rao was, he could only admit it...... Zeng He is not a murderer, they suspect the wrong person!

The previous inference was overturned in an instant!

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng with a heavy heart, and his expression suddenly froze.

Because he found that Lin Feng's expression was not as surprised as he was at all, his expression was still very calm and indifferent, and that look ...... It felt like Lin Feng had already expected this.

Don't...... Xiao Yu suddenly had hope in her heart.

Lin Feng saw Xiao Yu looking at him, gave Xiao Yu a reassuring look, and he continued: "Actually, in addition to those clues just now, there is another clue that the official did not mention. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at it carefully.

Seeing Lin Feng raise his hand, point to the door, and say, "Outside the door, there is a very obvious bloody footprint, that bloody footprint is different from the vague blood footprint in the room, it is very clear, so we can completely compare whose footprints it is." ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way and looked down.

Sure enough, at the door, there was a bloody footprint that had dried up.

Lin Feng's voice sounded again: "Cao Langzhong, Qi Duwei, Zeng Yushi...... You might as well try them one by one and see whose shoes match the bloody footprints. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at Lin Feng in confusion, and said, "Zide, didn't you say before that bloody footprint doesn't mean anything?" Even if it fits, it may be directed and acted by the murderer, or it may be that the murderer framed someone else, so no matter whose bloody footprints it is, is it useless? ”

When everyone heard Xiao Yu's words, they were stunned for a moment, they didn't hear Lin Feng's separate analysis with Xiao Yu before, but with Xiao Yu's words, everyone present was a human spirit in the officialdom, and they all quickly understood.

At the same time, like Xiao Yu, he looked at Lin Feng puzzled, indeed, as Xiao Yu said, since the bloody footprints could not be judged whether they were the murderer's, why bother?

But Lin Feng smiled and said: "Gong Xiao, Xia Guan didn't lie to you, the bloody footprints may indeed be the murderer's or someone else's, and it is impossible to tell who belongs through the bloody footprints." ”

"But Xia Guan didn't say it, the bloody footprints really have no effect at all."

"At least ......"

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly: "Let's have a certain probability and narrow the scope of the murderer." ”

"Narrowing down?"

Xiao Yu listened to Lin Feng's words, his brows frowned slightly, and his small eyes kept flashing with thought...... Suddenly, the essence in Xiao Yu's eyes flashed suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes were busy looking at Lin Feng: "Could it be!?" ”

Lin Feng knew that Xiao Yu had already understood, and he said, "You might as well take a look at the results first." ”

Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Cao Wenqing and the three of them knew that they had to verify the bloody footprints, and they didn't dare to delay, for fear that the hesitation would arouse the suspicion of others, so they went to compare them one by one.

Eventually, the comparison of footprints appeared.

Qi Chengqiang frowned, and said in disbelief: "How can it be the footprints of the general?" ”

"It's the footprints of Captain Qi!"

"Why the footprints of Captain Qi?"

"Could it be that Captain Qi is the murderer?"

"Lin Sizheng and Xiao Gong both said that the footprints do not represent who the murderer is, even if the footprints are Qi Duwei's, it cannot prove that the murderer is Qi Duwei!"

"Then even if you know that the footprints belong to Captain Qidu, what's the use?"

The onlookers kept talking, and they were all scratching their heads and frowning in thought.

Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief after hearing Qi Chengqiang's words, he looked at Zeng He, and said slowly: "Zeng Yushi, this official believes your words now, you are indeed not a murderer." ”

"What?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Why is Zeng He, who is suddenly the biggest suspect, not the murderer?

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Feng and said, "It's better for Zide to explain." ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "Actually, it's a very simple logical problem. ”

"We asked the nursing home, and we learned that in that half an hour, only three people entered the road to the study one after another."

"Their order is very clear, Rao is Zeng Yushi came twice in a row, but he was the last to come, so even if he left twice, he did not cross the order of Cao Langzhong and Qi Duwei."

"That means that if the murderer is Zeng Yushi, he wants to frame the other two, but he has no chance to pour blood outside the door, and then accidentally stepped on the blood when the other two came to Wang Sizheng and knocked on the door."

"Therefore, according to the order, the footprints are Qi Duwei's, which can only prove that this blood is either poured by Cao Langzhong or Qi Duwei himself, but no matter who it is, it can never be Zeng Yushi, and Zeng Yushi's suspicion can naturally be ruled out."

Hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Zeng He let out a long breath.

He said: "So, the official still has to thank the murderer?" ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "But if it weren't for that murderer, how could Zeng Yushi be so suspicious?" Almost became a scapegoat. ”

When Zeng He heard this, his eyes suddenly glared at Cao Wenqing and Qi Chengqiang, and said coldly: "That's right! This murderer is truly hateful! ”

But at this time, Xiao Yu suddenly raised a question, and he said: "Zide, if the murderer is Cao Langzhong or Qi Duwei, then since he has poured blood at the door, he must be sure that at least one person will step on the blood, thus leaving a blood mark under his feet." ”

"So why would he take the risk of taking advantage of the chaos and pouring blood out of the courtyard so that the other two would step on it as well? There are two blood stains in the courtyard, which means that the murderer has framed the other two people once? ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zeng He also felt strange, and he also looked at Lin Feng in puzzlement.

Lin Feng said: "Two reasons. ”

"First, the murderer is very cautious, even if he pours some blood at the door, but after he leaves here, he can't come back to check on it, so he can't be sure if anyone really stepped on the blood, what if someone behind him doesn't step on it?"

"The murderer didn't dare to pour too much blood, and didn't dare to let the blood area be too large, otherwise, even if there was no lantern outside the door and the sight was not good, it would still be easy to be discovered, and other people would have obvious feelings when they stepped on a large amount of blood, so the blood must be controlled within a certain range, and there is a certain probability that it will not be stepped on."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the location of the bloody footprints, the bloody footprints were located on the right side of the door, and if the person who came was standing on the left side, he would indeed not step on it.

"It's a possibility," he said. ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly and continued: "As for the second reason, it is to frame Zeng Yushi. ”

Zeng He's eyes widened: "This official? ”

Lin Feng looked at Zeng He and said, "Almost everyone knows about Zeng Yushi's infection with the wind and cold, this is not a secret, and the murderer must also know it, so when the murderer takes out this medicine bottle, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Zeng Yushi." ”

"And Zeng Yushi, you came last, even if the murderer didn't know before, you have to see Wang Sizheng alone, but after you arrived, you went to find Wang Sizheng twice, and the murderer will definitely know about this matter."

"So...... You're sick again, and you're the last one to see Wang Sizheng, you say, will the murderer waste this great opportunity? ”

Zeng He was directly stunned, even he felt that he was simply a chance to give the murderer.

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "Zide, do you mean that...... Because Zeng Yushi was the last, in the murderer's opinion, it was impossible for Zeng Yushi to let Cao Langzhong and Qi Duwei get blood under their feet in advance, so the murderer deliberately left two blood stains, in order to create the illusion that the murderer had blood under the feet of the two of them......"

"As we just deduced, whether the murderer is Cao Langzhong or Qi Duwei, it is enough to frame one more person, but the murderer framed two people, this is what only Zeng Yushi needs to do, and he did this to let us focus our suspicions on Zeng Yushi?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "This is the most logical inference...... It was also Zeng Yushi's luck that he didn't go to the direction of the garden to fetch water, otherwise it would be even more difficult to get rid of. ”

Zeng He only felt that his hands and feet were cold, he really didn't expect it...... I was calculated like this by the murderer.

If it weren't for the lack of strength because he was sick and didn't go to fetch water, if it weren't for the footprints at the door that were Qi Chengqiang's, not his own...... Otherwise, you will really jump into the Yellow River and you won't be able to wash it.

Suddenly, Zeng He didn't know what came to mind.

His eyes widened violently, and he hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, Xia Guan suddenly remembered something. ”

Without waiting for Lin Feng to speak, he hurriedly said: "If the murderer is Qi Duwei, it was Qi Duwei who directed and acted himself, and personally stepped on the blood...... In this case, didn't Qi Duwei already know that he had left his footprints at the door? ”

"Since he knows that he has left such footprints, how can he frame the lower officials? He can think of such an insidious calculation as framing the lower official, how could he not think that after his footprints are left, as long as we use logical reasoning, the lower official will not be calculated? ”

"Therefore, if you use this logic to reason, the real murderer doesn't know that Qi Duwei has left footprints, so he calculates the lower officials, then the real murderer can only be ......"

Saying that, Zeng He's eyes couldn't help but look at Cao Wenqing, who was the first to see Wang Qinyuan, and couldn't help but say, "Cao Langzhong!?" ”

Hearing Zeng He's words, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but look at Cao Wenqing.

Because what Zeng He said was indeed very logical, and it was completely consistent with Lin Feng's previous inference.

Only Cao Wenqing would not know that Qi Chengqiang left footprints, so he could frame Zeng He!

Cao Wenqing saw that everyone was looking at him, his face changed sharply, and he hurriedly shook his head: "It's not me!" ”

He hurriedly looked at Xiao Yu and explained: "Xiao Siqing, it wasn't done by the lower officials, it really wasn't the lower officials!" Xia Guan didn't know anything about blood or bloody footprints at all, and he hadn't framed Zeng Yushi! ”

But Xiao Yu had already nailed his eyes to Cao Wenqing before Zeng He's reasoning.

Even Zeng He, the imperial history, thought of this, how could the experienced Xiao Yu not think of it?

What's more, he also knows one thing that no one else knows...... That's Cao Wenqing has been having a headache these days!

It's just that even though Cao Wenqing has been having an unbearable headache, he has never gone to see the doctor and has been deliberately concealing it.

Therefore, combined with the fact that he deliberately concealed his head disease, as well as the matter of Qi Chengqiang's bloody footprints, how could Xiao Yu not think that the real culprit was Cao Wenqing?

Seeing Cao Wenqing hurriedly explaining to himself, he took a deep breath and asked with a calm face: "Cao Langzhong, this official asked you, have you been infected recently?" ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Cao Wenqing's face turned a little pale, he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and said, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

Xiao Yu saw Cao Wenqing's hesitant and panicked appearance, and said coldly: "Can't speak? That official will help you speak! ”

Xiao Yu stared at Cao Wenqing with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "You are sick!" And it's a head disease! Yes and no? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

"Cao Lang has a headache?"

"Cao Langzhong is also sick?"

"This ...... Really? ”

"I haven't heard of it, Cao Langzhong looks normal."

"If it's true, Cao Langzhong is also sick, doesn't it mean that Cao Langzhong will also take medicine, and he may also carry a medicine bottle?"

The officials hurriedly looked at Cao Wenqing.

I saw Cao Wenqing's face change again and again, his pupils fluttered violently, and in that way, it was clear that he was weak-hearted, which made everyone shocked in their hearts.

Could it really be Cao Wenqing!?

Lin Feng looked at the panicked Cao Wenqing and said slowly: "Cao Langzhong, you should know that since Xiao Gong can tell you about your headache, it means that we have already investigated the results, and if you hide it, you will only increase your suspicion." ”

Cao Wenqing listened to Lin Feng's words, finally sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, this official does have a headache these days." ”

"It's true!" Everyone's eyes widened.

Zeng He looked at Cao Wenqing and said, "It's really you!" It's really you who framed me! ”

Cao Wenqing hurriedly shook his head: "It's true that I have a headache, but I haven't framed you." ”

"I've never been to the doctor, I've never taken any medicine, so how could I possibly have any medicine bottles?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he sneered: "Why don't you go to the doctor when you are sick?" This official sees that you are deliberately concealing! ”

Cao Wenqing hurriedly explained: "The headache is an old problem of the lower officials, and the lower officials know that it is useless to take medicine, as long as they get through it for a few days." ”

"And now is the busiest time for the Ministry of Industry, our deadline is very tight, the deadline is getting closer and closer, everyone in the Ministry of Industry is too busy to go home, if the lower official goes to see the doctor, the doctor must have repeatedly told the lower official to rest, my colleagues are very good, and will definitely persuade me to rest, and even the waiter may directly order the lower official to go back to rest and recuperate."

"But how can Xia Guan leave when everyone is the busiest? Xia Guan also knew that his illness was not a big deal, so Xia Guan did not go to see a doctor! ”

"So I really didn't take any medicine, there couldn't have been any medicine bottles."

Listening to Cao Wenqing's words, some officials frowned, and Cao Wenqing's expression didn't look fake.

But when they thought of the murderer's cunning, they couldn't fully believe Cao Wenqing.

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing and said, "Who can prove Cao Langzhong's words?" proves that Cao Langzhong did not go to the doctor and did not take any medicine? ”

"This ......"

Cao Wenqing frowned, his face ugly: "I only occasionally mentioned a few words to my family, but they won't follow me all the time, and they can't prove it for me." ”

Lin Feng nodded, the residences of the officials are relatively close, and Cao Wenqing's home is not far from here, just now the officials went directly to Cao Wenqing's house to inquire about Cao Wenqing's situation.

Cao Wenqing did not lie, but because of this, no one could prove his words.

He secretly went to see the doctor on the way to duty, who knows?

Xiao Yu stared at Cao Wenqing: "No one can prove it for you...... And according to the clues we have now, you are the biggest suspect in Cao Lang, how can you make us believe you? ”

Cao Wenqing shook his head with a pale face: "It's really not me!" And you don't have any actual evidence, so you can't just assume it's me, can you? ”

"What if the murderer is Captain Qi? What if Captain Qi thought of all your thoughts and calculated me? ”

Qi Chengqiang was also shot while standing, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Cao Wenqing, you dare to slander this general!?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing, who was already talking nonsense in a panic, and sighed: "Cao Langzhong, it's a pity, this official really has evidence. ”

"What!?" Cao Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "How can you have evidence!?" No way! It's impossible! ”

Qi Chengqiang looked at Cao Wenqing coldly: "Who doesn't know Lin Sizheng's ability to solve cases?" Do you think that Lin Temple is just a waste of fame? ”

Cao Wenqing was completely stunned.

At this time, Lin Feng looked at the porcelain vase in his hand and said, "Cao Langzhong...... If you look closely at the surface of this vase, look at the white stuff on it, what do you think it is? ”

Cao Wenqing carefully identified it, frowned, and said, "Glutinous rice? ”

Lin Feng nodded: "It seems that Cao Langzhong is still very honest, that's right, this is glutinous rice." ”

"That Cao Lang Zhong ......"

Lin Feng looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Dare to ask you if you have come into contact with glutinous rice today?" ”

"This official is not a cook, how can he contact ......?"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, suddenly, Cao Wenqing's voice stopped abruptly.

His eyes widened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the whole person stood in place like a thunderbolt.

Seeing Cao Wenqing's reaction, everyone present was stunned.

"Could it be...... Cao Langzhong really came into contact with glutinous rice today? ”

"Looking at Cao Langzhong's appearance, it seems that this is really the case!"

Listening to the words of the onlookers, Cao Wenqing's face turned pale: "How could it be ......?"

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing, taking in the change in Cao Wenqing's pale expression, and he said slowly: "In the project, in order to make the building more stable, craftsmen often use a special thing - glutinous rice mortar. ”

"The so-called glutinous rice mortar is a binder made of lime, glutinous rice pulp and sand and gravel through a certain proportion."

"And Cao Langzhong just said that your Ministry of Industry is very busy during this time, and many people can't go back to their busy homes...... Although I don't know what your specific task is, I think it must be a construction task with a tight deadline and heavy tasks. ”

At this time, the news PHS Li Haomiao said: "Lin Sizheng, the lower officials know...... The Ministry of Industry is recently renovating and renovating some of the buildings and walls of the East Palace. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he nodded to Li Haomiao in thanks, then looked at Cao Wenqing, and said: "Repairing the East Palace, renovating and rebuilding important buildings and walls, I think the requirements for strength must be extremely high, so if nothing else, glutinous rice mortar will be used...... And when glutinous rice mortar is used, it is definitely necessary to touch glutinous rice. ”

Lin Feng said to Cao Wenqing: "So...... Cao Langzhong, I need to confirm with the rest of the Ministry of Works, have you been in close contact with glutinous rice mortar recently? ”

Qi Chengqiang stared at Cao Wenqing deadly, Zeng He also fell his gaze on Cao Wenqing without blinking, and the others were even more nervously waiting for Cao Wenqing's reply.

Cao Wenqing was watched by everyone like this, his whole body was trembling, his mouth was trembling for a long time, and finally he closed his eyes, looked desperate, shook his head and said: "No need to ask, my task is the purchase and supply of many materials, glutinous rice mortar is the most important adhesive with a very high cost, I am personally responsible for supervising the boiling, glutinous rice...... It must go through my hands. ”

Hearing Cao Wenqing's words, the pupils of the onlookers were flickering violently.

"It's really Cao Langzhong!"

"What's Cao Langzhong, he's an abominable murderer!"

Officials were outraged.

Qi Chengqiang also held a pair of iron fists, he gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Wenqing, Ben Jiang really wants to smash your head with one punch now and avenge Lin Sizheng!" ”

Zeng He shook his head in disappointment: "The official really didn't expect it, Cao Langzhong...... You are such a man! ”

Lin Feng looked at Cao Wenqing, whose face was pale and desperate, and said slowly: "Cao Langzhong, after we go to the prison of Dali Temple, let's have a good chat." ”

After that, he looked directly at Zhao Fifteen and shouted, "Zhao Fifteen, what are you still doing in a daze?" Don't arrest anyone yet! ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, seeing that Lin Feng's eyes were deep and his head was slightly bowed, he immediately strode towards Cao Wenqing: "Cao Langzhong, offended-"

Coming to Cao Wenqing, Zhao Fifteen took out the rope and was about to tie Cao Wenqing, but who knows, the next moment-

Bang!

Something unexpected happened.

Zhao Fifteen, who was supposed to tie up Cao Wenqing, suddenly slammed into Qi Chengqiang on the side with a punch, instantly hitting Qi Chengqiang's stomach, and Qi Chengqiang directly bowed his waist and opened his mouth to scream.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, I don't know when the guards who had come to the study to secretly protect Lin Feng also rushed directly, one of them grabbed one of Qi Chengqiang's arms, and as Zhao Shifu hit Qi Chengqiang's chin from the bottom up with another punch, they directly dragged Qi Chengqiang backwards with his strength.

Bang!

I heard another banging sound, and Qi Chengqiang's back hit the ground hard, and he let out a miserable cry again.

The guards directly pressed Qi Chengqiang's hands and feet, and Zhao Shifu then came to Qi Chengqiang in an instant with a stride, he grabbed Qi Chengqiang's mouth, and looked at Qi Chengqiang's mouth.

The next moment, he stretched out his finger and quickly took out a small poison sac from Qi Chengqiang's mouth.

After doing all this, Zhao Shifu wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Father-in-law, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Listening to Zhao Fifteen's words, Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said with a smile: "Very well done." ”

And it wasn't until this moment that everyone present reacted violently.

It was really Zhao Fifteen's surprise attack that was too sudden and without warning, so that they all held down Qi Chengqiang, and these people reacted.

"What's going on!?"

"What's going on!?"

"Aren't you going to arrest Cao Langzhong? Why did you arrest Captain Qidu? ”

"What's going on? Am I missing something? I shouldn't have wandered, right? ”

Each of these officials was very confused.

Not to mention that they were stunned, even Xiao Yu had an extremely surprised expression.

Looking at Qi Chengqiang who was pressed to the ground, looking at the poison sac in Zhao Fifteen's hand, and then looking at Lin Feng's smile that everything was under control, Xiao Yu couldn't help but say, "Zide, what is this?" ”

Lin Feng arched his hand to Xiao Yu and said: "Gong Xiao, please forgive Xia Guan for concealing it, it is really that this Qi Chengqiang is too cunning and cautious, Xia Guan does not dare to let too many people know the truth, once he finds out, Xia Guan is afraid that he will not have time to control him, so he will poison himself and commit suicide." ”

"So the lower officials can only conceal Xiao Gong, and can only let Cao Langzhong suffer some grievances first, so that Qi Chengqiang can let down his guard, and make him think that his plan has completely succeeded, at this time, Zhao Shifu and they suddenly shot at close range, so that Qi Chengqiang could be caught off guard and snatched the poison bag from Qi Chengqiang's mouth!"

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yu's pupils twitched violently, of course he wouldn't blame Lin Feng.

After all, Xiao Yu knows best the decisiveness and difficulty of these people in the Four Elephants Organization, and once these people find out that they have been exposed, their first thought is to commit suicide.

Therefore, he understood Lin Feng's concealment very well.

It's just that he was still too surprised, he always thought that Cao Wenqing was the real murderer, Lin Feng's inference just now, as well as Cao Wenqing's confession, and the glutinous rice on the small porcelain bottle, pointed to Cao Wenqing, and even Cao Wenqing didn't refute it in the end.

But he never thought that the thief of the Four Elephants Organization, the real murderer who killed Wang Qinyuan, would be Qi Chengqiang!

How can it be Qi Chengqiang?

He was obviously not suspicious from beginning to end, right?

How did Lin Feng know that Qi Chengqiang was the real murderer!?

Xiao Yu didn't know that the curiosity in the eyes of the gossip expert Li Haomiao was burning like a fire, and this unknown secret was fatal to him.

Zeng He was completely sluggish, he had just said disappointed to Cao Wenqing, and as a result, the murderer became Qi Chengqiang.

What the hell is going on?

Even Cao Wenqing, who was desperate just now, was shocked by this sudden change.

Not to mention the other officials, none of them had normal expressions.

"Lin Feng! Why did you frame Ben General! ”

But at this time, Qi Chengqiang, who was pressed down by the guards, suddenly resisted violently, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily: "I will not accept it!" You're wronging the general! ”

Lin Feng took the poison sac from Zhao Shifteen's hand, came to Qi Chengqiang, looked at Qi Chengqiang calmly, and said, "This four elephant organization has the same poison sac that was taken out of your mouth, and you still dare to shout injustice?" ”

Qi Chengqiang stared at Lin Feng with a fierce face: "When the general heard that you were in Suizhou, he asked Zhao Shifu to use a fake iron ball to pretend to be a real iron ball, Zhao Shifu is too good at confusing the real with the fake, this poison bag is not the general's at all, it is the general you deliberately framed, and the general will not accept it!" ”

When Zhao Shifu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "With so many people watching, you still dare to open your eyes and say nonsense, where did you get the face to say this?" Do you really think everyone is blind? ”

Qi Chengqiang gritted his teeth and said: "In short, Ben will not accept it!" You're framing the general! I want Ben to admit his guilt and come up with evidence, no evidence is framed! ”

Lin Feng looked at Qi Chengqiang, who was holding on, and he said slowly: "The dozens of officials present are all human witnesses, whether Zhao Shifu personally took it out of your mouth or not, they all saw it clearly, and your rebuttal is meaningless." ”

"However, since you want evidence, and the official also wants everyone to understand the truth that Wang Si is being killed, so the official will give you evidence!"

When Qi Chengqiang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" How can you possibly have proof!? ”

Lin Feng laughed: "How perfect do you think you are?" It's not good for a military general to stuff his fists in his head, he has to learn how to use other people's wisdom, and he also frames others...... Are you proud and confident in your resourcefulness? ”

"Just now, when the official first doubted Zeng He, and then went to suspect Cao Wenqing, were you laughing in your heart, laughing at the official's bullshit, and being completely tricked by you?"

Qi Chengqiang's eyes widened, and his face changed sharply: "No, I don't." ”

"Huh!"

Lin Feng looked at him calmly with his eyes, and his black eyes seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in Qi Chengqiang's heart, and said slowly: "You can't fool me!" ”

"Qi Chengqiang, you are indeed very smart...... But it's a pity that you were smart this time and you were mistaken by being smart! ”

2-in-1 delivery! The identity of the murderer has been revealed, but there are still some mysteries that have not been revealed, and there are still some key issues that have not been solved.
