Lin Feng's voice resounded calmly and calmly in the mass grave under the night sky, and entered the ears of everyone present.

The entire mass grave fell into an eerie silence.

This silence is not a gloomy wind, a chilling silence.

Instead, I was shocked in my heart, and I didn't know what words to use to express the silence of my thoughts at this moment.

Therefore, everyone could only use silence and look at Lin Feng with shocked eyes to express their emotions at this moment.

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, who seemed to be wearing a fire-colored robe under the firelight, took a deep breath, suppressed the violent vibration in his heart, and said with emotion: "Zide, you are really ...... So that the official doesn't know how to praise you. ”

He walked quickly to Lin Feng's side, looked at the dug up tomb in front of him, looked at the coffin that was opened, looked at the emptiness in the coffin, his eyes were still hard to hide his excitement and amazement, he said: "The corpse that should have been in the coffin is gone, so ......"

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Those corpses of the Zhou family, there is really a problem!?" ”

Hearing Sun Fujia's words, the county magistrate Zhuang Yan and the county lieutenant Wang Pengcheng also changed their faces suddenly.

Zhuang Yan looked at the empty coffin, his brows tightened, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Sizheng, what is going on?" ”

Wang Pengcheng also looked at Lin Feng with a solemn face.

Lin Feng didn't answer Zhuang Yan immediately, but instructed Zhao Fifteen: "Fifteen, go and count how many corpses are missing, and what is the age and gender of these lost corpses...... At the same time, let the servants check the other corpses to see if the age and gender of the remaining corpses are consistent with those in the household register. ”

When Zhao 15 heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and then turned around and left.

Lin Feng only looked at Zhuang Yan and the others again at this time, his gaze moved to Wang Pengcheng, and said, "County Lieutenant Wang still remembers that in the afternoon, this official asked you, about the night of the Zhou family's extermination case, did anyone see the corpse crawling out?" ”

Wang Pengcheng nodded hurriedly: "Of course I remember...... However, Xia Guan has already checked it back then, and there is indeed no body missing. ”

As he spoke, he raised his finger to a dug up tomb in front of him on the right, and said, "It's that tomb, when the lower official dug it up, there was no problem with the corpses in the tomb...... And now, the body is still lying there. Xia Guan didn't dare to hide Lin Sizheng. ”

Lin Feng said: "Don't worry, County Lieutenant Wang, this official did not say that he concealed this official. ”

Wang Pengcheng hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and listened to Lin Feng say slowly: "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with this corpse, and it is still lying there, but the reason why he is lying there is ......"

Lin Feng and Wang Pengcheng met their eyes, and their voices suddenly changed, and they said meaningfully: "But it's not because he hasn't climbed out...... On the contrary, the official felt that he had really climbed out, but he was bumped into in the middle of climbing out, so he had to go back again. ”

"What!?"

Lin Feng's words, Wang Pengcheng's face changed greatly, and Zhuang Yan's scalp was numb.

Even Sun Fujia felt a chill lingering in the mass grave under his feet.

Although Zhuang Yan was not the county magistrate of Zheng County at that time, he had still heard those weird rumors, and when he heard Lin Feng's words at this time, he suddenly said in a creepy: "Lin Sizheng, you said those corpses...... Did you really crawl out on your own? And then when you were discovered, you crawled back in? ”

Seeing Zhuang Yan's pale face, Lin Feng shook his head with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's because the official didn't make it clear." ”

He looked at the tomb in front of him, his dark eyes flashed with awe-inspiring essence, and in his eyes, it seemed that the picture of the mass grave on the night of the Zhou family's murder ten years ago appeared.

His voice was low, and he said slowly: "What the official meant, it's not that he crawled out by himself......"

"Rather...... Just like the empty coffin in front of him, someone helped the corpse to leave the tomb. ”

"Someone helping?" Zhuang Yan's eyes froze, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Lin Feng busily.

Lin Feng bowed slightly, he put his hands behind his back, and said, "Just like these tombs in front of me, no accident, that night...... The person who passed by the mass grave heard the movement that someone was digging the grave, but when he came to check, the gravedigger was hiding, so the man saw the dead man crawling halfway...... In fact, it was not the dead who crawled halfway, but they happened to lift the corpse halfway out. ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "As for why you later dug up the grave and found that the body was still lying there intact...... Obviously, the gravediggers were worried that you would find out that they had stolen the body, that you would discover their secrets through the loss of the body, so they had to put the body back. ”

"Then the people and the people of your government will not know about it......"

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "These corpses have already been smuggled away!" And they won't find out what they're hiding! ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Wang Pengcheng's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of disbelief: "So...... That person was not wrong at all, and he didn't shout wrong at all, and the subordinate went to dig the grave in person to confirm it, but he also fell for the tricks of the thieves, helping them press the rumors and hide the conspiracy? ”

Lin Feng met Wang Pengcheng's shocked and surprised gaze, and nodded slightly: "It's a pity, but the truth should be like this." ”

Wang Pengcheng's face was extremely ugly, he clenched his fists tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaguan has been in Zheng County for so many years, and he has never been used like this!" Don't let the subordinate catch them, otherwise the subordinate must make them look good! ”

The county commander Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "Why do these thieves want to steal the corpse? What did they want to do with the corpses? ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, he also looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, looked at the busy servants and the others, and said slowly: "Don't worry, after they finish checking, it's not too late for us to say more." ”

Seeing that Lin Feng didn't say anything, even if the curiosity in their hearts was like a cat scratching, they could only press their hearts and wait anxiously for their actions.

This wait is nearly half an hour.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Fifteen and Qi Zuo walked over.

"Father-in-law, the inspection is complete." Zhao 15 said.

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "How?" ”

Zhao Fifteen and Qi Zuo glanced at each other, and then Zhao Fifteen said, "There are three corpses missing." ”

"Three?"

"So much!?"

Zhuang Yan's pupils jumped, and his face was full of surprise.

Wang Pengcheng's face changed suddenly, and his face couldn't help but be a little pale.

Zhuang Yan is okay, after all, the county order ten years ago was not him, but the county lieutenant ten years ago was Wang Pengcheng, and in the place under Wang Pengcheng's jurisdiction, he lost three corpses, and for ten years, he didn't know anything about it.

If the court used this to ask him for his guilt, he couldn't explain it at all, and if the court wanted to punish him severely...... The official robe on his body may have to be ripped off!

Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan and Wang Pengcheng in the afterglow, took in the changes in their expressions, and then said slowly: "Which people's corpses are missing?" ”

Zhao Shifu hurriedly said: "These three people are all young men, their ages are twenty-five, twenty-seven and twenty-nine years old, and the causes of death are different, some died of serious illness, some were killed on the spot in a fight with someone on the street, and one was drowned. ”

Listening to Zhao Fifteen's words, Lin Feng looked at the list of dead people in the household registration book, and quickly found the situation of these three people.

He took a closer look at the time and cause of death of the three people, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Very well done, hard work." ”

Zhao Shifu hurriedly shook his head: "It's all what we should do." ”

Lin Feng smiled, he looked at Qi Zuo again, and said, "Where are you?" What were the results of the post-mortem examination? ”

He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "Back to Lin Sizheng, among the remaining corpses, there are eleven corpses that are in line with the identity of the deceased in the tomb, but there is one corpse...... It does not match the age and gender of the deceased recorded in the family register! ”

"Gender and age?" Lin Feng squinted his eyes and asked.

He nodded: "It's the person named Sun Yi in the household register." ”

Lin Feng's eyes swept over the household registration book and quickly found Sun Yi's record.

"Sun Yi, in September of the fifth year of Wude, because he went out to visit relatives, he was robbed by mountain bandits on the way back, and was killed and robbed, and died at the age of twenty-five."

Robbed and killed by mountain bandits...... Looking at this cause of death, Lin Feng couldn't help but recall what Sun Fujia said, the chaotic situation of Wude's five years, when the world was constantly strife, mountain bandits were rampant, and the people were miserable.

Now it seems that if this is the case, even if you go out to visit your relatives, you will be robbed and killed by mountain bandits.

Even now, even his body has been replaced.

Lin Feng raised his gaze and asked, "What has become of the corpse that originally belonged to him?" ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia and the others also looked at Qi Zuo in unison.

Fortunately, this man was brought from Chang'an, and he has seen the world, so he will not tremble when he is looked at like this.

He hurriedly said: "In Sun Yi's coffin, the small one was found after inspection...... The body lying in the coffin at this moment was a woman, aged between 30 and 40. ”

"What?"

"Woman?"

"Not even a man!?"

The county commander Zhuang Yan was completely stunned.

The corpse of a young man has now become the corpse of a woman in her thirties, and even her gender has changed...... The impact on him was not much better than the theft of a corpse.

Wang Pengcheng's eyes also widened: "What the hell is going on?" It's just a matter of stealing the corpse, why is this still a replacement? ”

The other officials were also dumbfounded at this time, and they only felt that this development was completely beyond the limits of their imagination.

I can't even turn my head.

They couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, expecting Lin Feng to solve their doubts.

In this way, one torch after another gathered towards Lin Feng, if you look down from a distance, these torches seem to be bright stars, and Lin Feng is being held by the stars, like the focus of the stars.

And Lin Feng didn't rush to answer everyone's questions, his right thumb and index finger rubbed lightly, and his brain quickly processed the information he got at this moment.

Gradually, the messy threads began to fit together like puzzle pieces.

A complete puzzle slowly emerges.

That night ten years ago, at this moment, it was finally completely restored by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his head.

His dark and deep eyes swept over everyone present, and then, he finally spoke, and the first words he uttered made everyone in Zhengxian County stunned.

"Actually, this official lied to you."

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and the others, and said slowly: "This official didn't find some omissions in the Zhou family's extermination case when he was sorting out the files in Dali Temple, and came here to check and fill in the gaps. ”

"Actually, this official came specifically to investigate the truth of the Zhou family's extermination case, and the reason why this official wants to investigate the Zhou family's extermination case is because in Chang'an Puguang Temple, three murders occurred in a row, and at the scene of the three murders, the murderer left three objects."

Based on those three objects, the official finally deduced that the reason why the murderer killed those three people in a row was for revenge! And the revenge he did was ......"

Lin Feng paused, Zhuang Yan and the others, who were listening to the fascination, subconsciously hung the stones in their hearts, they looked at Lin Feng nervously, and only heard Lin Feng say in a very low voice that could arouse nervousness in people's hearts: "...... The Zhou family's extermination case! ”

Brush!

As Lin Feng's voice fell, the county commander Zhuang Yan's eyes widened instantly, his mouth open, his face full of shock and surprise.

County Lieutenant Wang Pengcheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and the whole person had an expression of disbelief.

The expressions of the other officials were not much better, and everyone's faces could not hide their surprise.

Zhuang Yan couldn't help but say, "Lin Sizheng, what do you mean...... Someone is avenging the Zhou family's murder case!? ”

Wang Pengcheng also hurriedly said: "Who is avenging the Zhou family's murder?" Doesn't the Zhou family have no relatives? Didn't everyone in the Zhou family die that night? ”

"The three who died...... Could it be that Xie Fang's family? ”

"Xie Fang's family has been hiding for ten years, and they have finally been found?"

Listening to Wang Pengcheng's words, the officials were also busy looking at Lin Feng, seeking answers.

Lin Feng said slowly: "Who is avenging the Zhou family, the official can't determine his identity for the time being, but you said that the three people who died are the Xie Fang family......"

He shook his head, met Wang Pengcheng's nervous gaze, and said, "It's a pity that it's not them." ”

"Because the three people who died were all men, not women, so it couldn't be Xie Fang's family."

"What!? The dead are all men, not Xie Fang's family? Wang Pengcheng's face was full of surprise, his brows were furrowed, and he said, "If it's not Xie for letting them go, then who else can it be?" What we saw that night was indeed Xie Fang's family! ”

Zhuang Yan had never experienced what happened back then, he was completely an outsider at this time, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Lin Feng and wait for Lin Feng's follow-up words.

Lin Feng listened to Wang Pengcheng's words, and said lightly: "County Lieutenant Wang, as a person from the government, this official feels that we should speak rigorously. ”

"What you saw back then, strictly speaking, were three people dressed in Xie Fang's clothes, and their backs looked like Xie Fang's family."

"You haven't seen their looks with your own eyes, so it's not appropriate to say that it's the Xie Fang family, right?"

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Lin Sizheng is right, it is the lower official who is wrong, and the lower official, as a county lieutenant, should not be so convincing about things that have not been determined with his own eyes." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and then continued: "The murderer of the serial murder case in Puguang Temple, since he pointed to the Zhou family's extermination case to this official, and the three people killed by him were not the Xie Fang family, so he can judge ...... There must be secrets in the Zhou family's extermination case, and he deliberately left those objects, hoping that the imperial court can re-investigate the Zhou family's extermination case. ”

"That's why this official came to Zheng County in person to re-investigate the old case from ten years ago."

"But this official also found out that the Zhou family has no other relatives, and all the Zhou family members died tragically ten years ago, that is to say, the person who avenged the Zhou family cannot be the relatives of the Zhou family outside...... Therefore, there is only one possibility - the murderer of Puguang Temple is the Zhou family! ”

His gaze swept over Wang Pengcheng and other people in the yamen who had experienced the events of the year, and said in a deep voice: "In other words...... At that time, not everyone in the Zhou family was burned to death, and some survivors escaped from life. ”

"Someone escaped!?"

Wang Pengcheng couldn't believe it: "This ...... It shouldn't be, the corpses of all the people in the Zhou family correspond to it, and there is no shortage of personnel! ”

Lin Feng nodded and said: "This official naturally knows that there is no shortage of personnel, and there are records on the file, but the file is written by a person, and there may be some flaws, so this official is ready to use the simplest and most direct method to confirm." ”

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he suddenly showed a sudden expression, and he said, "So...... As soon as Lin Sizheng arrived in Zheng County, he couldn't wait to dig up the grave, just to verify whether the corpses of the Zhou family were consistent with those recorded in the dossier? ”

"Not bad."

Lin Feng bowed: "Only in this way can we verify it most intuitively." ”

Only then did the officials suddenly realize, and they said that Lin Feng, the rumored detective who was so powerful, how could he be idle and have nothing to do to dig people's graves.

It turned out to be to verify the authenticity of the dossier.

Wang Pengcheng took a deep breath and said, "The verifiable result is that there is no problem. ”

Zhuang Yan also looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "Indeed, the result of this afternoon's exhumation is that all the corpses, their age, gender, and all aspects can correspond to the situation of the file. ”

"At that time, the official was also very confused, and the official even doubted himself for a while, thinking that there was something wrong with the official......

But the official thought about it again and again, and after reviewing the speculation before, he didn't notice the mistake of the official, so the official diverged his thinking and considered, could it be that it was not the official's mistake, but the result of the verification in front of him that there was a problem? These so-called corpses of the Zhou family, in fact, there are some possibilities that the official did not expect? ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng: "And coincidentally, at that moment, this official suddenly thought of a rumor he heard before...... Someone told me that a strange thing happened on the night of the crime, and someone saw a dead person crawling out of the tomb......"

Zhuang Yan's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said: "So Lin Sizheng concluded that someone had stolen the corpse based on this rumor?" ”

"That's why we're here to dig graves?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's not so straightforward. ”

"What?" Solemn stunned.

Lin Feng said: "Although this official has thoughts about this rumor, County Lieutenant Wang said that he had checked the tomb and determined that the rumor was just a rumor, and the body was not stolen at all. This made the official doubt about his speculation again. ”

"But the official has reviewed his entire reasoning process, all the objects and files can be corresponded, and there are no obvious loopholes, and the identity of the murderer in Puguang Temple is absolutely inseparable from the Zhou family, so the official decided to find some evidence that can verify the official's speculation."

"If evidence can be found, it means that the official's speculation is correct! The thief was too cunning to anticipate what might happen next, and made preparations in advance...... But if you can't find it, then it may really be that the official is wrong, and the official must discard all existing knowledge and reorganize the case. ”

Sun Fujia's heart moved, he recalled what Lin Feng had asked Zhao Fifteen to do secretly, and said, "So...... What you asked Zhao Fifteen and them to do at that time was to find evidence to verify your speculation? ”

Lin Feng nodded.

Zhuang Yan hurriedly asked, "What evidence are you looking for?" ”

Wang Pengcheng and the others also stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said slowly: "If the thing that the person saw that person crawling out of the grave that night is true, and it is not that he is wrong, then someone is definitely secretly smuggling the corpse. ”

"Why smuggle corpses?"

"Combined with the possibility that the murderer in Puguang Temple has a high probability of being the Zhou family, as well as the strange disappearance of Xie Fang's family, and the fact that Puguang Temple was killed by three monks in a row...... The official had a bold speculation in his mind. ”

As soon as he heard the word bold, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but swallow nervously and spat at the mouth.

Wang Pengcheng also subconsciously held his breath.

Lin Feng looked at them and said his bold speculation in one breath, "This official is suspicious...... The people who smuggled the corpses that night were probably the people involved in the arson case of the Zhou family, and they specifically stole the corpses of people who were not much different from their age, and destroyed the appearance of these corpses by throwing them into the fire and burning them, so as to replace their identities! ”

"That's what the official just said, stealing the sky and changing the day, and hiding the plan to cross the sea!"

Brush it up!

As Lin Feng's voice fell, Zhuang Yan, Wang Pengcheng and the others' eyes widened suddenly.

There was a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

Zhuang Yan couldn't help but say: "Replacement? Hayashi Templemasa, you mean...... These missing corpses were actually replaced by the Zhou family? ”

Wang Pengcheng also couldn't believe it: "The corpse investigated by the lower officials back then was almost sent to the Zhou family?" ”

Even Sun Fujia stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "At that time, the official was not sure of these, after all, at that time, the official had not come here to dig the grave again to verify. ”

"It's just that when the official has this bold speculation, the official feels that this speculation is very probable...... Because if this is the case, many subsequent things will have a reasonable explanation. ”

"The murderer in the Puguang Temple case is obviously the Zhou family, but why are there many corpses recorded in the file? Why did the murderer in Puguang Temple kill three people in a row, but these three people are not the Xie Fang family recorded in the file? It's obvious...... Whether it is the murderer of Puguang Temple or the three people killed by him, it is likely to ...... They are all people in the Zhou family's mansion, and they all let themselves steal the day and fake their deaths by replacing the corpses. ”

Zhuang Yan and the others thought about Lin Feng's words seriously, and immediately couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, even if they hadn't verified these yet, just listening to Lin Feng's speculation, they felt that the possibility of this speculation was too great.

After all, this really explains all the incomprehensible follow-ups.

Lin Feng said: "So, after having this speculation, this official thought of one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Everyone hurriedly asked.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the county seat of Zheng County at night.

In the county seat in the dark night, the city gate is closed, as if it is a wild beast crawling on the ground, which makes people feel awe.

Lin Feng raised his hand, pointed to the county seat, and said, "There is a curfew at night in the county seat, and after the curfew, the city gate will be closed, and the city gate must not be opened without the order of the county order." ”

"Therefore, if it is really as speculated by this official, the people involved in the Zhou family's extermination case came to this mass grave to smuggle the corpses, then they must definitely enter and leave the city."

"But when the corpse was smuggled at night, when the city gate was closed, how did they enter and leave the city freely and smuggle the corpse away?"

Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said, "Could it be that they have the county order documents to enter and leave the city?" ”

Wang Pengcheng shook his head directly and said, "Impossible!" The prefectural decree did not issue any documents to enter or leave the city that night, and the lower officials also asked the soldiers who defended the city, and no one left or entered the city that night, so it was certain that they could not have entered or exited through the city gates. ”

Zhuang Yan frowned, he shook his head and said, "How did you get in and out?" ”

Lin Feng said: "This official has also investigated, and it is true that no one entered or exited the city gate that night, but they did come to this mass grave outside the city to smuggle the corpse...... So obviously, those thieves should have a very secret special path in and out of the county. ”

Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "How can there be such a path?" This official has been in Zheng County for three years, and he has not found any other ways out of the city. ”

Lin Feng said slowly: "Zhuang County Order, that path so far, only the relevant personnel of the Zhou family's arson case have walked, so you don't know, it's normal." ”

"But just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't."

"And don't forget, it was the fifth year of Wude, and Zheng County was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not a few years...... Not to mention, before that, it was the most turbulent era at the end of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"At that time, there were many warlords, and one city was owned by one person one day, and the next day it became the territory of another, and the people were exploited by this person one day, and the next day they might become prisoners of the latter person."

"In such turbulent times, there are some people who want to fight for more opportunities for their lives...... Therefore, it is not impossible to secretly dig a secret passage to the outside of the city at home. ”

Zhuang Yan and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard Lin Feng's words.

But after they thought about it carefully, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but admit that he was explained by Lin Feng.

He nodded and said, "If it was the turbulent era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, indeed, anything could happen at that time. ”

Sun Fujia also nodded, as a person who had experienced that era, he had the most right to speak, he made a final decision, and said: "In fact, this kind of secret passage has been found in many cities, but after all, it is difficult to dig the secret passage, and it is impossible for powerful people to do it, so more people dig a hole at home, and then hide it themselves, trying to avoid the search of the soldiers in this way, so as to get a chance to survive." ”

Lin Feng nodded: "So this official deduces that there is definitely a passage to the outside of the city that others don't know, but I don't know if that passage is inside the Zhou Mansion or outside the Zhou Mansion." ”

"In the Zhou Mansion? There is a great possibility, after all, the Zhou Mansion is located in the north of the county seat, not far from the north city wall, and it is relatively not so difficult to excavate. ”

"And outside the Zhou Mansion? It's not impossible...... After all, you said at that time that you were chasing those three people, but they were easily escaped by those three people, and in the end, the whole city searched and did not find them, it is likely that they secretly left through the secret passage, and they had already left Zheng County. ”

Everyone thought about it, and immediately nodded in agreement with Lin Feng's inference, Lin Feng thought very well and took all the possibilities into account.

"Therefore, since both situations exist, the official can only let Zhao Fifteen use stupid methods to investigate little by little."

Saying that, Lin Feng looked at Zhao Fifteen and said, "This official first asked Zhao Fifteen to go to the Zhou Mansion to search carefully, check step by step, and leave no dead ends...... If they are not found, then according to the route of the three people pursued by the county lieutenant of the night king, they will search from house to house along the road. ”

"This official specially transferred experienced officials from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and with them to cooperate with Zhao Fifteen, it will take some time at most, but if there is really that secret passage, it will definitely not escape their eyes."

"Therefore, if they can finally find the secret passage, then they can verify the official's inference from the side, and the official can boldly come here to dig the grave again and verify it!"

When Zhao Fifteen heard Lin Feng's words, he suddenly realized.

He said: "It turns out that my father-in-law meant this, so I said how my father-in-law gave me such a bizarre task for no reason. ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Even if this task is very bizarre, you still do it seriously." ”

Zhao Shifu scratched his head and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is so wise, what I want to do must make sense, I don't understand that it's because I'm stupid, so I just need to do what my father-in-law tells me." ”

"Results ......"

Zhao Wufu looked at everyone and said, "We are lucky, we were found in just two hours." ”

Hearing Zhao Shifu's words, Sun Fujia Zhuang Yan and the others were all busy looking at Zhao Shifteen, and the county commander Zhuang Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Is there really a secret way?" Where is it? Inside or outside Zhou? ”

Zhao Fifteen looked at Lin Feng and saw Lin Feng nodding, so he said, "In the Zhou Mansion." ”

"The entrance to that secret passage is so secret that you will never know where it will be."

Lin Feng smiled: "Fifteen, don't worry about your appetite, just say it." ”

Zhao Fifteen nodded hurriedly, he said: "The entrance of the secret passage is in a house that has become ruins in the backyard of the Zhou family, after I judged that the house, it was determined that it should be the bedroom where the head of the Zhou family lived back then. ”

"But now the house is in ruins, the mechanism is gone, and the hole in the secret passage is under the ruins."

"And when he climbed in through the mouth of the cave, and came out...... It's already outside the county. ”

Zhuang Yan's eyes widened, and he muttered: "There is really a secret way, this official has been a county magistrate for three years, and he doesn't even know it." ”

Seeing this, Wang Pengcheng comforted: "Xiaguan grew up in Zheng County, and after so many years, I don't know either, Zhuang County's order has only been three years, and I have never been to Zhou's house, so it's normal if I don't find it." ”

Zhao Fifteen nodded and said, "That's right, if it weren't for our father-in-law's order, we wouldn't be able to let go of any inch, and we wouldn't know that there was a secret passage hidden under the ruins." ”

Zhuang Yan bowed his hand to Zhao 15 and thanked Zhao 15 for his explanation.

Immediately, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "So after learning about the existence of the secret passage, Lin Sizheng has already determined that the corpse of the Zhou family has really been replaced?" ”

Lin Feng said: "There is at least an eighty percent probability, but if you want to really confirm it, you must find actual evidence." ”

"And the reason why this official borrowed the household registration book from you is to confirm who died in the county within a month before the crime...... Although it is said that as long as the body is destroyed by fire, it is impossible to tell who it is based on its face. ”

"But if the corpses have been dead for too long, even if they are burned, it is easy to see their abnormality."

"Therefore, if the relevant personnel of the Zhou family extermination case want to hide from the world, they must find the nearest person who was buried."

"But they can't just find a corpse, they have to find a corpse that is not much different from their age, otherwise if someone performs an autopsy in the future, they will find out that the age of the corpse is wrong."

"Therefore, according to the time of the case, the official extended it slightly forward for a period of time, and determined that the people who died within this month all met the age characteristics of the deceased people of the Zhou family, and finally determined the scope."

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads in understanding.

They didn't expect that there were so many considerations for these tombs that Lin Feng had chosen.

This made them unstoppably admire Lin Feng in their hearts.

They thought to themselves that when they got Zhao Fifteen's confirmation, after such a big breakthrough, they would definitely not be able to analyze as calmly and rationally as Lin Feng, and they would definitely dig it up first.

But Lin Feng, plan and then move, if you don't move, you will never make a mistake!

Zhuang Yan sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that even these tombs, Lin Sizheng had so many considerations...... Now that there are four of these tombs that have problems, it should be able to verify Lin Sizheng's inference, right? ”

Lin Feng nodded.

Zhuang Yan looked at the empty coffins, thought for a while, and said: "Three empty coffins, and one corpse that was replaced, this means that on the night of the Zhou family's fire, a total of four people escaped from Shengtian by stealing the sky and changing the day, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea?" ”

Listening to Zhuang Yan's words, Wang Pengcheng's eyelids couldn't help jumping: "Unexpectedly, all the twenty-five members of the Zhou family we thought died tragically, but it turned out that a full four people escaped!" ”

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng and frowned: "The four of them escaped and dug out an avenger from Puguang Temple, which means that there are three people who assassinated the Zhou family that night!" ”

"And now three people have been killed......"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "This means that all the people who assassinated the Zhou family are dead......"

"That's not right!"

Sun Fujia's voice suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Zide, you said that the murderer of Puguang Temple killed people according to the law of the five elements, but now only three of the five elements are used, and there are still two left...... It means that there are other people, but now these corpses prove that there are only three thieves. ”

When Zhuang Yan and the others heard this, they were all stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Sun Fujia meant, they all looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.

But who knows, Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words, but he shook his head and said, "Sun Langzhong, you are wrong, it's not four people who escaped from Shengtian, but at least five people...... Even, six people! ”

"What!? Five people? Maybe maybe even six people!? ”

Everyone was stunned.

They looked at the coffins, and it was clear that only three coffins were empty, and one coffin had been replaced, and these were four corpses!

How to look at the five people who ran out, or even six people!

Lin Feng said slowly: "Don't you forget...... On the night of the fire in the Zhou family, there was still Xie Fang's family there. ”

"As the official said, the three people killed by the murderer in Puguang Temple do not correspond to Xie Fang's family at all, which represents two possibilities."

Zhuang Yan subconsciously asked, "What are the two possibilities?" ”

Lin Feng stretched out a finger: "Or, the real culprit of the Zhou family's extermination case is not the Xie Fang family, the Xie Fang family was used as a scapegoat by the murderer, and the Xie Fang family, who was in the Zhou house that night, had also died with the rest of the Zhou family." ”

Then he held out a second finger.

"Or, the real culprit of the murder case is the conspiracy of Xie Fang's family and others, and the three people you see may really be Xie Fang's family...... And what the murderer in Puguang Temple killed was someone else who conspired with Xie Fang's family. ”

Wang Pengcheng and the others all nodded again and again.

Lin Feng was very cautious and said all possible situations without subjective assumptions.

Combined with the fact of Puguang Temple, there can only be these two possibilities.

"But ......"

At this time, Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed, he looked at a few people, and said, "Don't forget the clues we just got. ”

"There was a corpse that was replaced, and the ...... who replaced this corpse It's a female corpse in her thirties! ”

"The corpse named Sun Rong, not surprisingly, is lying in the tomb of the Zhou family at the moment, acting as the person who was burned to death by the Zhou family, so the problem comes...... Who is this female corpse that replaced Sun Yun? ”

"After those thieves stole Sun Rong's corpse, they put this female corpse in it, why? Why did they send another corpse inside? Where did this corpse come from? What is identity? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he, who had a tacit understanding with Lin Feng, instantly understood what Lin Feng meant.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "So, Zide, what do you mean to say...... This female corpse was smuggled out of Zhou's house by those thieves? And the extra female corpse in Zhou's house, that night, there was only one ......"

Zhuang Yan's scalp was numb when he heard this, he felt that the hair in his head was about to stand up, and he lost his voice: "Xie Fang's wife!?" ”

"That female corpse, is it Xie Fang's wife!?"

Listening to Zhuang Yan's words, the officials all widened their eyes, and everyone looked incredulous.

After all, over the years, they have always thought that Xie Fang's family was the real murderer, and they had already fled, and they didn't know where to go to enjoy their happiness, but now, they told them that Xie Fang's wife died that night.

Not only did he die, but he was buried in a man's coffin, which was paid tribute to by the man's family every year......

Is this, is this true?

They looked at Lin Feng busily, nervously waiting for Lin Feng's reply.

Then, they saw Lin Feng nodded slowly, and said: "Sun Yi's corpse was stolen by them, then this female corpse must have been put by them, and the female corpse they can have in their hands, except for the Zhou family, can only be Xie Fang's wife that night." ”

"And it is recorded in the file that Xie Fang's wife was thirty-four years old at the time, which is completely in line with the age of this female corpse."

Zhuang Yan shook in his heart and said: "It turned out to be Xie Fang's wife!" ”

Lin Feng continued: "Xie Fang's wife's body is there, so you say, can Xie Fang and his son still have a good end?" ”

Everyone's pupils shrank violently, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.

They all understood what Lin Feng meant, Xie Fang's wives were dead, how could Xie Fang and his son survive?

Lin Feng took everyone's expressions into his eyes and said slowly: "So, if everyone in the Zhou family dies that night, there will be no one left...... The corpse should not be twenty-five, but twenty-eight! ”

"We found Xie Fang's wife's corpse, but what about Xie Fang's and his child's corpse?"

"You know, since the thieves buried the corpse of Xie Fang's wife here, then they should also bury the corpses of Xie Fang and his son here, after all, throwing the body anywhere, there is a risk of being found, and it is the safest to bury it in the coffin that pretends to be dead! It can be seen from the fact that they buried the body of Xie Fang's wife here! ”

"However, there are no corpses of Xie Fang and his son here...... So, where are the bodies of these two men? ”

"It's hidden somewhere we don't know...... Or ......"

Lin Feng looked at everyone.

I saw Sun Fujia frowning, the county commander Zhuang Yan swallowed and foamed, Wang Pengcheng's face was solemn, and the other officials rubbed goosebumps, looking at Lin Feng nervously.

Then, they listened to Lin Feng say slowly: "Or ...... In fact, like the stolen corpses, they replaced the ...... in the file that should have died What about some and two? ”
