Half an hour later.

Outside Zheng County, mass graves.

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia were standing under a tree, looking at Zhao Shifu and the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, digging graves and digging graves.

Sun Fujia's eyelids jumped, thinking that he had been an official for so many years, and he had never seen anything strange, but he didn't expect that one day, he would become a member of the strange and come to this mass grave to dig graves.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and couldn't help but say, "Zide...... Did you think about digging a grave before you came to Zheng County? Otherwise, how could you have applied for a grave digging paperwork in advance? ”

In the Tang Dynasty, it was not possible to dig graves casually, and that required the permission of the imperial court.

Otherwise, it would be a sin that is not light.

So when he saw Lin Feng taking out the documents very calmly, Sun Fujia was really shocked, he didn't expect Lin Feng to even prepare this rare document in advance.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shifu and the others who were working hard calmly, and said slowly: "Although Zheng County is not far from Chang'an, it will take two or three days to go back and forth. ”

"Not to mention ......"

Lin Feng's voice paused, and he saw that the puppet he brought from Chang'an had already begun to go to the grave for an autopsy, and he continued: "The murderer of Puguang Temple may obviously be an undead person from the Zhou family, but it is clearly recorded in the dossier, and the number of corpses can correspond to it, so ...... This official really can't help but suspect that there may be a problem with these corpses. ”

If there is a problem with the corpse, it is natural to dig up the grave to confirm it, and the digging of the grave requires paperwork, so I applied for the paperwork of digging the grave in advance...... Lin Feng's words formed a perfect closed loop, and Sun Fujia couldn't find fault with it.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally could only sigh: "You are really thoughtful everywhere, leaving no flaws." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "The investigation of the case is a battle of wits and courage with the sinister and cunning criminal, if we don't think thoughtfully, then we will fall into the calculation of the criminal, how can we find out the truth in the end?" ”

Sun Fujia nodded approvingly, and sighed in his heart, although everyone knows this truth, but by no means all prison personnel can be as thoughtful as Lin Feng.

It's not that you don't want to be like this, but you can't be like this, after all, not everyone is qualified to be called a detective.

"Who are you!?"

"Whoever allowed you to dig the grave privately, don't stop it!"

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded.

Then I saw more than 20 officials, led by an official, and quickly ran over.

Judging by the official's dress, it should be a county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is an official with real power in the county government and is in charge of the specific affairs of the county seat.

So after receiving a report that someone was digging a grave, he brought someone over as soon as possible.

These officials quickly surrounded Lin Feng and the others, and at the same time scolded them to stop immediately.

However, Zhao Shifu and the others ignored these servants at all, and continued to do the hard work of digging graves.

When the county lieutenant saw that these people were still not stopping, his face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Arrest them all!" ”

The officials are going to do it.

"Stop!"

But at this moment, a faint voice sounded.

Then the county lieutenant saw a young man with an extraordinary temperament coming over, this person looked at him, and said slowly: "I have the court's investigation documents, and I need to dig up the grave to investigate the case." ”

As he spoke, he handed the paperwork to the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant took the paperwork, looked upward, and then his eyes widened suddenly, his face was full of surprise, he couldn't help but look at the two people opposite, and his attitude quickly became much more humble, and said: "Wang Pengcheng, the county lieutenant of Zheng County, I don't know who the two are?" ”

The young man with an extraordinary temperament said: "This official is Lin Feng of Dali Temple, and this is Sun Fujia of the Criminal Department. ”

Lin Feng ...... You're the detective Lin Simasa!? ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the county lieutenant Wang Pengcheng's face changed sharply.

When the other officials heard this, their eyes immediately widened, and they looked at Lin Feng with a look of surprise.

Obviously, Lin Feng's name as a detective is known even to the ordinary people of Zheng County, and it is impossible for them, the people of the Yamen, not to know it.

At this moment, when they heard that the person in front of them was the legendary detective Lin Feng, one could imagine how surprised and unexpected they would be in their hearts.

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "This official and Sun Langzhong were ordered to come to investigate the fire case of the cloth merchant Zhou family ten years ago, and I hope that the county lieutenant Wang can cooperate." ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and he hurriedly said: "Xia Guanding will fully cooperate with Lin Sizheng and Sun Langzhong." ”

Seeing Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia completely controlled the scene in the palm of his hand, nodding slightly in his heart, secretly saying that Lin Feng had a stronger ability to control the overall situation than when he went out to investigate the case a few times before.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "County Lieutenant Wang, do you still remember the Zhou family's extermination case ten years ago?" ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard about the Zhou family's extermination case, he was slightly stunned, but quickly nodded and said: "Don't hide it from Lin Sizheng, this case was investigated by Xia Guan back then, so even after ten years, Xia Guan still remembers some of the key places." ”

"Oh? What a coincidence! ”

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said with a smile: "Then next, I will ask County Lieutenant Wang to recall it and try to help the official recover the situation that night." ”

Wang Pengcheng nodded hurriedly: "Xia Guan is doing his best. ”

As he spoke, he looked puzzled again and said, "But...... It's been a full decade since this case, and I wonder why Lin Sizheng suddenly wants to re-investigate this case today? ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, during this time, Dali Temple has been sorting out the past files, and it just so happened that the official found the file of this case, and then when sorting out the file, the official found that the case was not too rigorous, so he came to investigate, Wang County Lieutenant don't be nervous, there may not really be any problems in this case." ”

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, how could this excuse be so familiar...... Oh, when Lin Feng went to Suizhou to investigate the case, it was also this excuse.

Wang Pengcheng didn't know what Sun Fujia was thinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaguan still thought that there was something wrong back then. ”

Lin Feng smiled, he saw that it would take some time to examine the corpse, so he said: "County Lieutenant Wang, this official saw in the file that on the night of the accident in the Zhou family, it was County Lieutenant Wang who led the night patrol, is that so?" ”

Wang Pengcheng nodded directly and said, "That's right, it's the lower officials who lead the team." ”

"Does County Lieutenant Wang remember the situation at that time?"

Wang Pengcheng thought carefully for a long time to make sure that there was nothing missing, and then said: "Xia Guan remembers that at that time, Xia Guan took the brothers to patrol the night as usual......

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Back then, the law and order was not as good as now, it was still very chaotic, so in order to ensure the safety of the people in the county, we had to patrol the night every night to prevent thieves from doing evil at night." ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "This official understands this. ”

Sun Fujia introduced the background of the time to Lin Feng.

Wang Pengcheng continued: "At that time, it should have been just now, and the lower official still remembered hearing the voice of the husband, and then at that time, one of my brothers suddenly exclaimed loudly and told me that the water had gone. ”

When Xiaguan heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and looked, and saw that there was obviously a fire on the street in the north, and Xiaguan panicked at that time, knowing that such a big fire must be a very serious fire, so Xiaguan hurriedly led people to the scene of the fire.

When Lin Feng heard this, he said, "How long did County Lieutenant Wang walk from the discovery of the fire to the Zhou Mansion to the Zhou Mansion?" ”

Wang Pengcheng thought for a while: "It's almost half an hour...... Xia Guan also can't remember the specific time, but Xia Guan remembers which road we were on at that time, so based on the inference of the distance, we can still recover the time spent at that time. ”

Half an hour of time...... Lin Feng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Wang Pengcheng said: "And when we arrived at the street of Zhou's mansion, before we arrived at Zhou's mansion, we suddenly found three figures running out of the gate of Zhou's mansion. ”

"After discovering the three figures, the lower officials hurriedly shouted for them to stop, but the distance was relatively far, they may not have heard it, or they may have heard it but did not dare to stop, they ran faster and faster, and quickly disappeared into the night."

"After the lower official arrived at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, he found that the fire in the Zhou Mansion was out of control, so he instructed the officials to wake up the nearby people and ask them to help put out the fire, and at the same time personally led people to chase down the three figures."

"But ......"

Wang Pengcheng shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that in the end, those three people were not caught, and the fire was not saved, and none of the twenty-five members of the Zhou family were spared. ”

When the other officials heard this, they also shook their heads, their faces full of embarrassment.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over them and said, "Do the three figures that County Lieutenant Wang saw match the characteristics of Xie Fang's family of three?" This official remembers that there should be a teenager in this family of three, right? ”

Wang Pengcheng frowned and said: "At that time, the distance was relatively far, and the lower officials didn't see it too really, but according to their clothes, some people wore skirts...... It is indeed a man and a woman, and a teenager can wear clothes. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the official behind him and said, "Some of these brothers have also experienced the events of the past, and I think they should also remember this. ”

Lin Feng looked at the older officials and saw that several of them were nodding.

"Not bad! The situation back then was the same as what Captain Wang said. ”

"Judging from the clothes of those three people, they are the clothes of Xie Fang's family."

"There can't be anything wrong, it must be the Xie family's fire!"

Lin Feng could tell from their micro-expressions that the words of these servants were all in their hearts, and they did not hide it.

He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "You were on night patrol at the time, and there was only one team of men?" Are all the routes taken fixed? ”

Wang Pengcheng shook his head and said, "We have a total of two teams of people, after all, the county town is so big, and a team of people has to be bright all over the day...... As for the route, it is not fixed, after all, we are afraid that some thieves will learn about our route and play with us, so our daily patrol route is determined that night. ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "On the night of the crime, your night patrol route was also set that night?" You were the only ones who discovered the fire? ”

Wang Pengcheng nodded and said: "Yes, the patrol route on the night of the crime was set by the lower officials after dark, which is different from the previous days...... As for the discovery of the fire, it was indeed only us, because at that time another team of people was patrolling the Nancheng area, which was far away from Zhou's house in the Beicheng area. ”

Lin Feng's right thumb and index finger hanging by his side rubbed lightly, and after he pondered for a moment, he said slowly, "There is one last question. ”

Wang Pengcheng hurriedly said: "Lin Si is please." ”

Lin Feng looked at him and said, "You finally found out that all the money, gold, silver and jewelry of the Zhou Mansion were gone, so you concluded that it was the murderous intent of the Xie Fang family because of wealth?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Pengcheng nodded: "It's true that I can't find a copper plate." ”

"Then the problem comes......"

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said calmly: "The Zhou family is so rich, if you want to get money, gold, silver and jewelry, you have to use a box, right?" But you just said that when you arrived, the three men fled in a hurry. ”

"So, County Lieutenant Wang thinks...... How did the three of them escape in a hurry, but at the same time, they were able to take so much gold and silver treasure with them, and they were able to escape from your pursuit? ”

"You must know that among the three of them, except for Xie Fang, who is a strong man, his wife is just a powerless woman, and his son is only a teenager, and his strength is very limited!"

Wang Pengcheng listened to Lin Feng's words and his eyes widened suddenly.

His pupils shrank violently, and his expression changed abruptly: "This ...... This, Xia Guan, Xia Guan really never thought about this. ”

"Lin Sizheng didn't mention it, Xia Guan didn't expect these ......"

Lin Feng said: "When you found the three figures who escaped, did you notice whether they were carrying or holding any boxes? ”

Wang Pengcheng shook his head: "The distance is relatively far, we only have time to see their backs, and we can't see anything else, but what Lin Sizheng said is indeed reasonable, they can't run so fast with such a heavy amount of money......"

As he spoke, he frowned and pondered, "Is it possible...... Was it Xie Fang's family who stole the money and treasures in advance? ”

"If you stole it, why do you need to come back? Didn't you say that their purpose was money? Isn't it enough to have money? Why do you want to come back? Lin Feng said slowly: "Come back and wait for you to find out?" ”

"This ......" Wang Pengcheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't think of any reason.

Sun Fujia also frowned, and his square face was full of doubts, this question does have a big logical problem.

"Father-in-law."

At this time, Zhao Fifteen's voice rang out: "The inspection has been completed." ”

Hearing Zhao Fifteen's words, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he said to Wang Pengcheng: "County Lieutenant Wang, please wait here for a while." ”

After speaking, he and Sun Fujia walked in the direction of Zhao Fifteen and the others.

As he walked, Sun Fujia said: "This case is really getting stranger and stranger. ”

"It's not just this place that's weird."

Lin Feng said lightly: "The timing is not right. ”

"When?" Sun Fujia was stunned.

Lin Feng said slowly: "As County Lieutenant Wang said, they only discovered the fire after the fire was completely burned. ”

"And such a large mansion, even if it is drenched with fire oil, it will definitely take some time to make it burn to the extent that it is completely up, not to mention that it took a full half quarter of an hour for County Lieutenant Wang to arrive after they discovered the fire."

"So, for such a long time, it's completely enough for the arsonist to leave...... But as a result, these arsonists insisted on waiting until the county lieutenant Wang and the others were about to arrive before leaving. ”

Sun Fujia's brows furrowed, he thought about it, and said, "There is indeed something wrong. ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I can guess two possibilities. ”

Sun Fujia hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and then listened to Lin Feng's words: "First, because of something, the arsonist had to delay for some time, so he delayed until that time before he could leave. ”

"And the second ......"

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It's their deliberate, they deliberately delay the time to leave!" Because ......"

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said in a deep voice: "They want to be seen by these people from the county government when they escape!" ”

Sun Fujia's pupils shrank suddenly, his face changed instantly, and his footsteps stopped abruptly.

The whole person froze in place, looked at Lin Feng with wide eyes, and said, "Zide, what do you mean...... The people who set the fire deliberately waited until the county lieutenant Wang and the others came before leaving, because they wanted the county lieutenant Wang to become witnesses...... They want to frame Xie Fang's family!? ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said slowly: "There is no clear evidence to prove these yet, but there is a great possibility after all......

"And if that's the case......"

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Pengcheng and the others who were standing in place, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Then there is a problem again...... Those thieves, how can they know when the people from the yamen will come? How do you know where the people of the yamen will come from? How can you guarantee that after the people of the yamen find them, they will be able to escape unharmed? ”

Sun Fujia frowned, he thought for a while, and said, "Maybe they have prepared an escape route and a hiding place in advance, no matter which direction the officials come from, they are prepared." ”

Lin Feng said: "The premise is that the officials can only come from the side of the street, but if you say that night...... The two teams of officials happened to come from both directions of the gate of the Zhou Mansion road? We have also been to the Zhou Mansion, and we can know that once the officials really come from both ends, these arsonists will definitely have no chance of escaping. ”

"And I also asked Lieutenant Wang just now, their patrol has no fixed route, and how they will patrol that night is all a temporary decision...... So those thieves, how can they ensure that it is really not so coincidental, and the two teams of officials will not come from both sides at the same time? ”

"Not to mention...... And how did they make sure that the night guards would not pass through the Zhou Mansion until the fire broke out? ”

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, countless thoughts, countless thoughts surged rapidly.

He said in a deep voice, "You know...... If the officials happened to pass by the gate of the Zhou Mansion before the fire started, it was likely that the fire would have been discovered in advance, and in that case, the fire might have been extinguished in time, and the plan of those thieves would have failed directly...... So how can these thieves ensure that they will not be discovered by the officials before the incident? ”

Sun Fujia's thick eyebrows wrinkled tightly, forming an inverted eight look, his face was solemn, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier, as Lin Feng's partner, he and Lin Feng had enough tacit understanding to quickly understand what Lin Feng meant.

"Do you think ......?"

Sun Fujia glanced at the officials of the county government and said in a low voice: "Among them, there may be someone who is planning against those arsonists?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, and said slowly, "I don't have any evidence to prove this...... But I think that these thieves dare to set fire to people and do such a crazy thing, and they can escape in plain sight...... They are definitely well-planned, and they are definitely not the kind of people who will put the success of the murder and their own hope of escape on the uncertain probability. ”

"So, we're going to make sure of four things!"

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng and listened to Lin Feng's words: "How did the thief ensure that he was not discovered by the night guards before the incident?" What is the reason for their delay? Those three people whose clothing characteristics are in line with Xie Fang's family, are they Xie Fang's family? ”

"and ......"

Lin Feng looked at the tomb in front of him and said, "Is the murderer of Puguang Temple the Zhou family who escaped from the fire?" ”

Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, nodded heavily, and agreed.

He said: "If these questions can be solved, maybe the truth of the case ten years ago will be revealed." ”

Lin Feng nodded, the two stopped talking, and soon came to the tomb and stopped.

I saw that the tombs in front of me had been dug up.

There are a total of twenty-five tombs, corresponding to twenty-five members of the Zhou family.

According to the news they inquired, the Zhou family had no relatives, and they all died in the fire, and it was the Yamen of Zheng County who buried the Zhou family.

Standing in front of the grave and looking into the pit, you can see a dry skeleton.

In ten years, those corpses have turned into dry bones.

And they were all burned by the fire before they died, so their clothes and other things were long gone, so there was not even a funeral object in this tomb, not even a single garment that could be identified.

Master? Servant?

The most important class distinction in antiquity is rarely broken at this moment.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over these dry bones one by one, and then he looked at Qi Zuo, and said slowly: "How?" ”

"Based on the teeth, hair, and bones of the dry bones, you can roughly determine their age and gender. ”

"The 25 corpses, after a small examination, can be determined that there are two boys no more than five years old, eight women between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, two teenagers in their teens, eight young people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty, a woman between the ages of thirty-five and forty, and two middle-aged men in their forties, a man of nearly sixty and a woman of the same age."

Listening to the words, Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

Sun Fujia quickly opened the file and turned to the page of the Zhou family's death list.

At the same time, the age and sex of the deceased are carefully compared.

Outcome......

His face was full of surprise, and he said, "Corresponding!" ”

"The situation of the corpses in this tomb can fully correspond to the situation of the Zhou family recorded in the file."

As he spoke, Sun Fujia raised his head and looked at Lin Feng with surprise on his face.

He frowned and said, "Zide, the situation of this corpse is completely consistent with the file record...... No one is missing! ”

"But how is this possible!?"

Sun Fujia's thick eyebrows were upside down, and his brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters: "It shouldn't be...... The murderer is clearly the one who came to help the Zhou family avenge him, he is clearly the Zhou family, but the corpse of the Zhou family is here. ”

"And there are no other relatives in the Zhou family, everyone is lying here...... So what's going on here? Who is the murderer of Puguang Temple? ”

Sun Fujia's brain was completely chaotic.

Zhao Shifu was also at a loss, he knew Lin Feng's inference that the murderer was the Zhou family who avenged the Zhou family, but the current result was that the corpse of the Zhou family could correspond to it.

The Zhou family is not missing...... So, could it be that the stepfather was wrong in his reasoning?

Zhao Wufu couldn't help but look at Lin Feng worriedly.

And Lin Feng also frowned slightly at this time, and his brain was running wildly at this moment.

The corpse of the Zhou family is no problem! Not a single person is missing!

Could it be that the murderer of Puguang Temple is not the Zhou family?

Who would that be...... Could it be the Xie Fang family?

Wrong!

Xie Fang's family stayed in the Zhou Mansion that night, how could they escape?

Not to mention that the thieves also specially pretended to be Xie Fang's family, trying to transfer all the blame to Xie Fang's family, since they dared to do this, they must be sure that the court could not find Xie Fang's family, and Xie Fang's family had no chance to defend themselves.

What kind of person doesn't have the opportunity to argue for himself? Undoubtedly, dead people!

But there is no corpse of the Xie Fang family here?

If the Xie Fang family is also dead, what about their corpses?

Could it be that the thieves who set the fire were carried away in advance?

The reason why those thieves left late was because they wasted time when carrying and hiding the corpses of Xie Fang's family?

Or is it that in fact, the real murderer is really Xie Fang's family?

But it's not right, Xie Fang's family has two men and one woman, but the three monks who died in Puguang Temple are all men, and their identities are not right.

Not to mention, the age of the three monks who died was not in their twenties, which was in line with the age of Xie Fang's son back then.

And if the murderer is the Xie Fang family, then who is the avenger of Puguang Temple?

The Zhou family? But the Zhou family does not lack corpses!

Went round and round, and turned back again.

It's as if all the efforts have returned to square one.

Lin Feng's brows tightened, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down.

He knew that there must be something wrong with one link, either because there was a problem with the link he had inferred, or because there was a problem with the information he was getting now......

There can be no unsolvable logical problem.

He wants to be calm, he has to re-brush it.

Re-comb through all the information you got about the case.

Seeing Lin Feng closing his eyes and frowning, Sun Fujia knew that Lin Feng was thinking about this strange situation, and he quietly led Zhao Shifu and the others to step back, leaving Lin Feng room to think and not disturbing Lin Feng's train of thought.

In the cold wind, Lin Feng's clothes hunted.

His brain, at this moment, is like a high-speed computer system, constantly retrieving every piece of information......

Slowly, some information that I hadn't noticed before, that I hadn't thought deeply about, began to emerge in my mind.

He suddenly remembered something that the tea stall shopkeeper said when he was eating at the tea stall.

The shopkeeper of the tea stall said...... After the accident of the Zhou family, strange things continued in Zheng County.

He said...... On the night of the fire at Zhou's house, someone saw a dead man crawling out of the grave......

Dead people, crawl out of the grave!

Brush it up!

Lin Feng's eyes widened suddenly!

At this moment, the pupils contracted rapidly.

He turned sharply and strode towards the officials.

Seeing this, Sun Fujia and Zhao Fifteen glanced at each other, and then their eyes showed bright colors.

They knew that Lin Feng's obviously purposeful action could only represent one thing...... Lin Feng had already thought of the key to these strange contradictions!

The two did not delay, and hurriedly followed Lin Feng.

With Lin Feng, he came to Wang Pengcheng and the other officials.

When Wang Pengcheng saw Lin Feng coming, he hurriedly said, "Lin Sizheng, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and asked directly: "County Lieutenant Wang, this official heard that on the night of the accident in the Zhou family, someone said that he saw something strange...... I don't know if you've heard of it? ”

Wang Pengcheng frowned and said, "It's been ten years, and the rumors and rumors that are not related to the case, the lower officials really don't remember." ”

Lin Feng looked at the other officials again and said, "This official heard that on the night of the Zhou family's accident, someone saw a dead person crawling out of the grave, I don't know if you have heard of this matter?" ”

When these officials heard this, they frowned.

Suddenly, one of the officials said, "The little one has heard this rumor. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he looked directly at this officer, and saw that this official was one of the night patrols with Wang Pengcheng.

Lin Feng said: "What is the specific content of the rumors? ”

The official thought for a moment, and then said: "It is a person, when he passed by the mass grave in the middle of the night, he found that there seemed to be some movement in the mass grave, and he boldly walked over to take a look, and found that there was a hole in the tomb. ”

"And then a dead man who had died a few days ago and had just been buried in it was lying at the mouth of the cave, as if he were crawling out of it."

"This scene directly scared the man stupid, scared him into running away, and then he talked about it everywhere."

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly, "That mass grave, this is it?" ”

The official nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the mass grave behind him.

At this time, Wang Pengcheng, the county lieutenant, suddenly said: "That's what you say...... Xia Guan also has some memories. ”

"At that time, there were indeed such rumors, and even the county order heard it, and then the county order issued an order to let the lower officials see what was going on, after all, there was a lot of panic at the time."

"So the lower officials came to investigate, but as a result, the lower officials didn't find anything wrong with the tomb, what holes or anything, there was no one at all."

"The lower officials felt that the person had seen it wrong, but the man said it conclusively, and in the end, even the family members of the deceased who were buried there panicked, so they asked the lower officials to check whether the corpse really crawled out."

"Xiaguan had no choice, in order to dispel the panic of the people, he could only dig up the tomb, and finally found ......"

Wang Pengcheng looked at Lin Feng and said: "The corpse in the tomb is lying there intact, there is nothing unusual at all, and the rumor has slowly stopped spreading, until now, no one has said it for a long time, and the lower officials have forgotten about it." ”

Lin Feng listened to Wang Pengcheng's words, thought about it, looked at those officials, and the officials who had experienced that incident also nodded one after another, agreeing with Wang Pengcheng's words.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Suddenly, Lin Feng turned to look at Zhao Fifteen and said, "Zhao Fifteen, bring some good hands and do something for this official." ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, please command." ”

Lin Feng whispered something in Zhao Fifteen's ear.

Zhao Wu's face was dazed, and he said, "Father-in-law, what is this?" ”

Lin Feng said: "I went to check it carefully, and I found every corner and corner...... There are people in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple who are good at this, and I will send them to you. ”

Seeing that Lin Feng was so serious, Zhao Wufu immediately said, "Father-in-law is waiting for my news!" ”

After speaking, he did not hesitate, and left quickly with more than a dozen officials.

Looking at the back of Zhao Fifteen leaving, Sun Fujia's eyes flashed slightly, he knew that Lin Feng must have thought of something, this was for Zhao Fifteen to verify.

I just don't know what Lin Feng thought of......

After Zhao Fifteen left, Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng again and said, "It seems that there is really nothing here, and then the official wants to go to the county government to disturb it, I don't know if it is convenient." ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, how dare he say that it was inconvenient, he nodded hurriedly and said, "I believe that Zhuang County Ling must be very happy to know that the famous Lin Temple is coming." ”

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia glanced at each other, and immediately ordered the remaining officials to refill the tomb, while they and Wang Pengcheng returned to the county seat.

When I came to the county office, I saw that there was already a group of people standing at the door waiting.

The age of the leader is more than 30 years old, and it is Zhuang Yan, the county commander of Zheng County.

"The lower officials have seen Lin Sizheng, and they have seen Sun Langzhong, but the lower officials didn't know that the two Shangguan had arrived, and they couldn't meet them from afar, and they hoped to forgive their sins."

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Zhuang County Order doesn't need to think about it, this official and Sun Lang came in a hurry, and they didn't inform you in advance, so it's normal that you don't know." ”

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xia Guan has prepared a little thin wine to catch the wind for Lin Temple's grandson." ”

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, and saw Lin Feng smile and said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, don't hide from the Zhuang County Order, this official is here for the Zhou family extermination case ten years ago, there are some things, I want to ask the Zhuang County Order for help." ”

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Although it was not the lower official who served as the county commander here ten years ago, the lower official has also heard of this case and has some understanding of this case. ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "If you are on official business, this official will not be polite to Zhuang County...... Zhuang County Order, this official wants to take a look at the household registration book of Zheng County ten years ago. ”

"Ten years ago's family register?"

Zhuang Yan thought for a while, and then said: "This is easy to say, Xia Guan will let people take it for Lin Sizheng." ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Thank you." ”

…………

The sun fell from the southwest, to the treetops, and finally disappeared from the horizon.

The lights are on, and the night is getting darker.

The county office, in the back hall.

The candle flame danced, reflecting Lin Feng's figure on the window paper.

Zhao 15 walked quickly to the front of the room and knocked on the door: "Father-in-law, I'm back." ”

Soon, the figure on the window paper got up directly, quickly came to the door, and opened the door.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Fifteen and asked, "How?" ”

Zhao Fifteen had excitement in his eyes and nodded heavily: "The righteous father is really divine, it is really as the righteous father said!" ”

Lin Feng's pupils dilated slightly, and the tight heartstrings quietly loosened at this moment.

He let out a long breath, smiled, and said, "Fifteen, well done!" If the case is solved this time, you will have a great contribution! ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he immediately smiled.

Sun Fujia walked from behind him, heard Lin Feng's words, and hurriedly said, "Zide, have you gained?" ”

Lin Feng turned to look at Sun Fujia, smiled, and nodded slightly: "Sun Langzhong, I have finally been found by this official." ”

Sun Fujia's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "What's going on?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Don't worry...... I still need to make a final confirmation! ”

With that, he turned around and went back to the room directly, picked up the household registration book on the table, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Zhuang County Commander and ask him to accompany us to do something." ”

"Do what?" Sun Fujia asked.

Lin Feng raised his head, glanced at the dark night, and said slowly: "Go to the mass grave again, dig the grave again!" ”

…………

Half an hour later.

Mass graves outside the city.

Unlike the daytime sun, the sky was dark at this time, and the night wind was howling, and the sound of the wind sounded like a whimpering cry, which made goosebumps rise for everyone present.

Coming to a mass grave at night is really different from the feeling during the day.

Even Zhao Fifteen was nervous.

And the county commanders and officials of Zheng County were also inexplicable at this time.

The county magistrate Zhuang Yan couldn't help but say: "Lin Sizheng, who are you?" ”

Wang Pengcheng, the county lieutenant, couldn't help but say: "Lin Sizheng, haven't we already confirmed that there is no problem during the day?" Why is it here again? And why can't you come back tomorrow during the day? It was a night of panic. ”

Lin Feng's face was grim, he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "This official knows that everyone is working hard, but there are some things that this official must confirm as soon as possible, so I have to work hard for everyone." ”

After speaking, he directly took out the household registration book, turned to a page, and said: "The graves of the people on this page and the next page are all dug up by this official." ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the county commander Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but glance at the household registration book in Lin Feng's hand, and then he knew why Lin Feng wanted to borrow the household registration book from him.

This is a special search for someone's grave.

He heard that when Lin Feng first arrived in Zheng County, he came to dig graves, but he didn't expect to dig enough during the day, and he specially asked himself to borrow the household registration book, and then came back at night to continue digging, what kind of habit is this......

Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan stunned in place, and said, "Zhuang County Order, do you still use this official to issue a copy of the investigation document for digging the grave?" ”

Zhuang Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not, Xiaguan will let people do it." ”

As he spoke, he directly ordered the officials to do it.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Fifteen and said, "You guys also go and help." ”

The crowd sprang into action.

The torches illuminated the four directions, dispelling the darkness of the mass grave, and with the hands of everyone, the scene gradually became hot, and the cold feeling also subsided slightly.

When Sun Fujia saw this scene, he already knew Lin Feng's thoughts, he looked at Lin Feng and said with a little worry: "I hope we can go smoothly this time...... If you can't find any problems, it's really troublesome, these graves are not the tombs of the Zhou family without descendants, if the families of these graves know that we have dug up the graves of their relatives, they will definitely be dissatisfied. ”

"At that time, it may have some impact on Zide's reputation."

Lin Feng understood what Sun Fujia meant, digging people's graves for no reason, it would be strange if people could be happy.

How did he not know the risks, but in the process of investigating the case, there were some things, that is, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tigers.

He clenched the household registration book, looked at the people digging the grave calmly, and said slowly: "Whether it can go well or not, the result will be known soon." ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, he took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel some nervousness in his heart, and looked at Zhao Wufteen's actions with a slightly anxious expression.

The county commander Zhuang Yan was also a little anxious, after all, he was the one who had to face the people, and he could imagine how those people would complain to him after tonight when they knew about the grave digging.

The people came to him to complain, but he didn't dare to offend Lin Feng of the fifth grade, so when the time comes, he will be the most headache when he is caught in the middle.

When he thought of this, he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, he really didn't know why this famous detective did such a strange thing.

In this way, under the nervousness of the officials, one by one the tombs were dug up.

A casket appeared in sight.

Finally, the fifteen tombs on the two pages were all dug up.

Zhao Fifteen looked at Lin Feng and said, "Father-in-law, you're done digging." ”

Sun Fujia suddenly looked at Lin Feng nervously.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Open the coffin!" ”

The officials and officials did not say a word, and opened the coffin one after another.

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked nervously.

And then, the next moment—

"I didn't ...... No! There is no body in this coffin! ”

"There are no bodies in this coffin!"

"How can there be no corpses!?"

"The corpse is gone!!"

The extremely shocked voices of the officials suddenly resounded in the cold and silent mass grave.

Listening to the abrupt exclamations of the officials, Zhuang Yan, the unprepared county commander, was directly stunned.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise, "What did you say!?" No corpses? There is no body in the coffin!? ”

He was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lin Feng fiercely.

Sun Fujia was also at this time, his pupils were beating violently, his expression was stunned at first, and then suddenly showed surprise and excitement.

He was also busy looking at Lin Feng.

Seeing Lin Feng under the firelight, in his dark eyes, it seemed that the burden had finally been lifted.

Lin Feng met Sun Fujia's excited gaze, bowed his head lightly, and said with a smile: "If you inherit Sun Langzhong's words, everything is really going well...... It seems that the people will not only not blame me, but will be grateful to me......"

Saying that, Lin Feng looked at the coffins and said slowly, "Sun Langzhong, do you know what this is called?" ”

"This is a plan to steal the sky and change the day, and hide the sky and cross the sea!"

It's the last day of the end of the month, and I took a look at the number of words updated this month, more than 377,000 words, an average of more than 10,000 words updated every day, and the author finally dared to muster up the courage to say a word worthy of everyone's support!
