The night wind sent Lin Feng's meaningful voice into the ears of everyone nearby, and in an instant, everyone's hearts suddenly set off waves.

The county commander Zhuang Yan only felt that his scalp was numb, and a chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai, making his brain buzz.

"Yes, Xie Fang and his son still have two corpses, but these two corpses are not in this mass grave, and the corpses of the Zhou family are only twenty-five...... So, did these two corpses really replace two people? ”

"If they also took the place of two people, wouldn't that be the same as ...... From the fire in Zhou's house, there were six people who really escaped!? ”

Wang Pengcheng looked incredulous: "The official collected a full twenty-five corpses that day, thinking that it was the twenty-five members of the Zhou family, but the result was ...... There are six of them who are not members of the Zhou family!? ”

The officials of Zheng County were also dumbfounded, they only felt that this was simply too special, who would have thought that the truth of that night ten years ago would be like this?

There are six corpses that are not from the Zhou family!

Sun Fujia's pupils twitched violently, and his thick eyebrows instantly changed from inverted eight to positive eight, and his eyes kept flashing with essence, he thought more than Zhuang Yan and Wang Pengcheng and others.

Zhuang Yan and the others were shocked and shocked because of Lin Feng's inference.

But Sun Fujia, from Lin Feng's words, heard more extraneous meanings, and thought of more details about this case.

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, that Xie Fang and his son, back then, one was in his forties, and the other was just a teenager!" ”

"If their corpses are really in the Zhou Mansion, replacing a certain two people, wouldn't it be ...... We can even deduce who they are taking over!? ”

When everyone heard Sun Fujia's words, they were stunned at first.

But then, they also seemed to think of something, and the surprise in their eyes was even heavier.

Lin Feng took the changes in everyone's expressions into his eyes, and he said slowly: "Without Xie Fang and his son's corpse, there are two situations!" ”

"The first is a possibility, even if it's unlikely......"

Lin Feng looked at them and said, "That is, although Xie Fang's wife was killed, Xie Fang and his son may not be dead, they escaped, so there is no body for them." ”

"But the thieves specifically let them take the blame, instead of pushing the blame to outsiders to climb over the wall and kill into the Zhou Mansion, this kind of situation where the murderer can't be found at all...... Obviously, he was very relieved about Xie Fang's family, and he was not afraid that they would be wanted by the government, so the possibility of Xie Fang and his son escaping was very small, and there was a high probability that they were dead. ”

"But as long as there is the slightest possibility, we can't deliberately ignore it."

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng was thoughtful and cautious, not letting go of the slightest possibility.

"And the second possibility, the probability is very high."

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "That is, Xie Fang's family is indeed dead." ”

The night wind was howling, and Lin Feng's voice was caught in the wind and slowly sounded.

"Those thieves don't need to dispose of the corpses of the Xie Fang family separately, after all, they are buried in this coffin, as long as no one opens the coffin for autopsy, who will know that the person has been replaced?"

"Therefore, since the body of Xie Fang's wife was brought here for burial, but the bodies of Xie Fang and his heirs are not here, it can basically be inferred...... The thieves who set fire to the Zhou family did not bring their corpses. ”

"Why didn't you bring it and dispose of it? Combined with the fact that they also need to steal the corpses back, so as to steal the day, the conspiracy to try to hide from the world can be inferred that they are most likely to be used like these stolen corpses. ”

"Therefore, the corpses of Xie Fang and his son should have become stand-ins for the two people in the Zhou Mansion."

Lin Feng said as he looked at Qi Zuo and said slowly: "During the day, I have already experienced the corpses of all the people in the Zhou Mansion, and their age and gender are all matched, which shows that the two people that Xie Fang and his son can replace are definitely similar in age and gender." ”

"And in the Zhou Mansion, there are two people who are similar in age to Xie Fang! These two people are Zhou Mi, the head of the Zhou family, and Guan Liufei, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion. ”

"It is impossible for Zhou Mi, the head of the Zhou family, to be idle and destroy his foundation and kill all his relatives...... So it can be determined that the corpse replaced by Xie Fang is most likely the housekeeper Guan Liufei! ”

"That is to say......"

Lin Feng looked at everyone, and under everyone's expectant and nervous gaze, he said, "If it is really the second possibility, Xie Fang is really dead, then the housekeeper Guan Liufei ......."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said categorically: "It should be one of the thieves who murdered the Zhou family that night!" ”

Brush it up!

Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone in the county government subconsciously widened their eyes, and their faces were full of shocking expressions!

Got it!

Really found it!

Based on these corpses, Lin Feng really deduced one of the thieves that night!

Even if Lin Feng said two possibilities, this was only the second possibility, but everyone felt that the probability of Xie Fang's escape was extremely low!

The most likely thing is that Xie Fang is really dead!

And as long as Xie Fang is dead, it can be determined that Guan Liufei, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, is definitely one of the real murderers that night!

Lin Feng obviously didn't see anyone ten years ago, but at this moment, he relied on these corpses to find out a real murderer!

This kind of ability made their hearts tremble!

Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng with a shocked expression, and he couldn't help but say: "Lin Sizheng, Xia Guan finally knows how compatible the word detective is when it falls on Lin Sizheng's body!" ”

Wang Pengcheng and the others also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Sun Fujia nodded with a smile on his face, his speculation was the same as Lin Feng's, but it was not how powerful he was, but Lin Feng's reminder, which made him finally figure everything out.

Zhao 15 smiled, he just felt that his father-in-law was powerful, it was not a matter of course!

Lin Feng just smiled calmly at everyone's praise, he had received too many such eyes and praise, and his heart was already as calm as water.

He said: "In the same way, we can also infer the person Xie Chengming replaced by Xie Fang's son Xie Chengming based on the age. ”

"In the Zhou Mansion, there are only two teenagers of the same age as Xie Chengming, one is Zhou Mi's third son Zhou Qing, and the other is Zhou Mi's fourth son Zhou He."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, the county commander Zhuang Yan thought about it, suddenly frowned, and said in disbelief: "No...... Could it be that Zhou Qing or Zhou He will be one of the most vicious real murderers? ”

"But they're only teenagers, so their minds won't be so vicious."

Everyone listened to Zhuang Yan's words, and they were all stunned.

Then they saw Lin Feng shaking his head, and Lin Feng said: "Zhuang County Order, this official has never said that the people Xie Chengming replaced are those real murderers." ”

"What?" Zhuang Yan was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at him and reminded, "Did the Zhuang County Order forget...... Inside Puguang Temple, the murderer who committed serial murders? ”

Zhuang Yan's eyes froze, he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant, and hurriedly said, "Could it be ...... Could it be that the person Xie Chengming replaced is the survivor of the Zhou family, the real murderer who killed people in Puguang Temple? ”

"What?"

"The person Xie Chengming replaced is the one who avenged the Zhou family!?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly: "No accident, that's it." ”

"From the corpses of the Zhou family and the situation of these tombs in front of them, it can be judged...... There is obviously a young man's corpse missing, and combined with the revenge of Puguang Temple, the probability that this young man is a survivor of the Zhou family is extremely high. ”

Wang Pengcheng thought about it, and suddenly frowned: "Lin Sizheng, Xia Guan feels that there is something not quite right. ”

Lin Feng looked at him and said, "What does County Lieutenant Wang think is wrong?" ”

Wang Pengcheng said: "As Lin Sizheng just said, those thieves stole these corpses to the Zhou Mansion in order to steal the day, and they were worried that the corpse of Xie Fang's wife would be discovered, so they brought out the body of Xie Fang's wife...... They were able to get out of the fake death smoothly because they thought everything through and ensured that the last number of dead in the Zhou Mansion was twenty-five. ”

"And they are so vicious, since they do it, it is impossible to let go of anyone in the Zhou Mansion, that is to say, it is impossible for them to deliberately let Zhou Qing and Zhou He go, in other words, in their consciousness, there are three corpses of the young people in the Zhou Mansion!"

Wang Pengcheng looked at Lin Feng and said, "According to normal reasoning, it is impossible for them to leave more than one young man's corpse without knowing that anyone has survived. ”

"Therefore, they should take away one more juvenile corpse like Xie Fang's wife, only in this way can they ensure that the twenty-five corpses they want, and these corpses will not be found out in any way."

Therefore...... If the surviving teenager really escaped, then the corpses in the Zhou Mansion should be twenty-four, not twenty-five, right? ”

When the officials and Zhuang Yan heard this, they thought about it, and they all showed doubts.

Indeed, there is some truth in Wang Pengcheng's words.

In the case that those thieves don't know that someone has escaped, the corpses of three teenagers must be dealt with one, and the problem comes, once they deal with one and one teenager escapes, then the corpses of teenagers in Zhou's mansion should not be two, but only one.

But the fact is that there are two corpses of young people in the Zhou Mansion!

So what's going on?

They couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled, not surprised by Wang Pengcheng's doubts, he looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "It's still two situations." ”

"What?" Wang Pengcheng hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "First, when the boy fled, he was discovered by these thieves, so in order to ensure that the number of corpses was sufficient, they did not take away the corpse of the third teenager. ”

Wang Pengcheng thought for a while, and then nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

"And the second."

Lin Feng continued: "The survival of this young man has not been discovered by these thieves, so as you said, they will definitely leave with the corpse of the third teenager, just like the corpse of Xie Fang's wife, the corpse that should not be left at the scene, they will never leave it." ”

Wang Pengcheng hurriedly said: "In this case, the corpse should be missing......"

Lin Feng shook his head and said meaningfully: "County Lieutenant Wang, you seem to have overlooked one thing......

"What?" Wang Pengcheng was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at him and said slowly: "That secret passage is within the Zhou Mansion, so do you think that even these vicious gangsters know the secret passage, so will the master of the Zhou Mansion not know about the secret passage?" ”

Wang Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Could it be?" ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "Those thieves know that the corpse can be replaced through the secret passage, why do you think that the little master of the Zhou family can't do it?" ”

"As long as you know the secret passage, then there is every chance to replace the corpse."

"So, ah......"

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, looked at Zhuang Yan and the others, and said: "If it is really the second situation, then according to the situation of the murderer in Puguang Temple, according to the lack of a young man's corpse, we can completely speculate that there was definitely a teenager who survived that year, but the corpse of the Zhou family has not decreased...... And among these tombs, there is not an extra corpse of a teenager. ”

"We have reason to speculate...... The surviving teenager, perhaps after escaping, secretly followed behind those real murderers, and saw them bury the body of a teenager in the grave, and then in order to take revenge, in order to hide the secret of his survival, after those people buried the young man's body, he dug it up again, and finally sent it back to Zhou's mansion. ”

"In that case...... Everything can be explained! ”

Wang Pengcheng's pupils shrank, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but say: "If you explain it like this, indeed, it's not impossible." ”

Zhuang Yan's face was also shocked, and he couldn't help but say: "If that's the case, then how tenacious that young man was to be able to do this...... Secretly followed these vicious real murderers, and dug up the corpses they buried with their own hands, and then smuggled them back......"

"It's not going to be easy!"

Lin Feng nodded: "It's really not easy, let alone a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, even if we are at our age, our minds may not be so tenacious, and we may not be able to do this when everyone in the family dies tragically." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded heavily.

Even Sun Fujia felt a little emotional and embarrassed in his heart.

Lin Feng looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't think of any surprises, the truth of the year...... That's how it should be. ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Those thieves wanted to destroy the Zhou family for some purpose, but they didn't want to let themselves be discovered, so they thought of using fire to burn everyone beyond recognition, so that no one would know that they had faked their deaths and escaped." ”

"But the people of the Zhou Mansion are not stupid, and they will not flee when they encounter a fire...... So it is not surprising that before the fire ignited, the people of the Zhou Mansion ...... You may have been killed by these thieves! ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng took out two things from his arms.

A blackened jade pendant is already a blood-stained purple cloth.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "The jade pendant represents the fire, which is in line with the fire that burned everything in the Zhou Mansion at the end. ”

"And this purple cloth ......"

Everyone looked at the purple cloth stained with shocking blood in Lin Feng's hand, and only heard Lin Feng say: "The blood on it represents blood...... At that time, the official in Chang'an speculated that this cloth was splashed with blood, so it can be imagined from this purple cloth that in those days, those thieves must have killed everyone with knives first, only in this way can we ensure that no one will escape when the fire breaks out, and that their plot will not be discovered! ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's hearts were shocked.

The pupils dilate violently.

I only felt a chill rush to my brain.

The ruthlessness and ruthlessness of these thieves are simply beyond their imagination!

Lin Feng looked at the silent mass grave in front of him, and his voice carried a touch of emotion: "Therefore, the surviving young man was really lucky to survive in this situation. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded heavily.

Kill first, then set fire...... If you can survive this, how can you not be lucky?

"After killing everyone, to ensure that no one escapes, they should take the bodies of Xie Fang's wife and children, through the secret passage at the bottom of the well, leave the Zhou Mansion, and come to this mass grave."

"Then dig up the corpses they chose in advance, and then put Xie Fang's wife and children in the tomb, and then secretly return to Zhou's house with those corpses."

Lin Feng's voice was calm and calm, even if it was speculation, it could give everyone the feeling that it was as if they had seen the unknown picture of the night with their own eyes, making them have no doubt that it was the truth!

After returning to the Zhou Mansion, the twenty-five corpses had been prepared, and they did not hesitate to set fire to them directly...... In this case, the fire will be raging, and all the corpses will be burned beyond recognition, and then no one will be able to find out about their fake death! ”

"After the fire is completely burned, they will be at the door, deliberately waiting for you night watchmen to find out, and then flee in front of you wearing the clothes of the Xie Fang family, in this way, the purpose of blaming the Xie Fang family has been achieved."

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, his pupils contracted violently, and his face was extremely ugly: "Xia Guan really didn't expect that the so-called Xie Fang family that Xia Guan saw that night was all carefully designed by these thieves!" They are actually using us specifically to blame the Xie family! ”

The officials who had experienced the events of that night also had ugly faces.

They had never been used like this in their lives.

Lin Feng continued: "The survivors of the Zhou family, Zhou Qing or Zhou He, were not killed in advance for some reason, he should have secretly followed behind when these thieves left with the corpses of Xie Fang's wife and children. ”

"I watched them dig graves and bury them, and then returned to the Zhou Mansion first, pretending to be dead, and deceived these thieves, and after these thieves set fire, he immediately went to the mass grave through the secret passage."

Saying that, Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "You told the official that when you arrived at the Zhou Mansion, the fire in the Zhou Mansion was already very strong, and there was no way to save it, so finally, when the fire was extinguished, how long would it be before you were able to enter the Zhou Mansion?" ”

Wang Pengcheng thought for a while, and then said, "At least more than an hour." ”

"More than an hour ......"

Lin Feng looked at the county seat of Zheng County and nodded slightly: "More than an hour is enough time for the survivors of the Zhou family to come here to dig graves and then bring the corpses back." ”

Everyone thought about it, and then they all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, more than an hour, such as them, three round trips are more than enough.

There is still plenty of time.

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "I really didn't expect that the truth would be like this on that night ten years ago!" But we didn't know at all, and we always thought that the murderer was Xie Fang's family...... As a result, their family suffered ten years of grievances in vain! ”

Wang Pengcheng lowered his head and blamed himself: "It's all to blame on the lower officials, if only the lower officials could see their looks clearly at that time, it would be good." ”

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said with relief: "You also fell for the conspiracy of those thieves, they deliberately let you see them leaving in the clothes of the Xie Fang family, just to deceive you, it is normal for you to fall for the scheme." ”

Wang Pengcheng had to sigh and nod.

Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, what should we do next?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "All this is still just the speculation of the official, and the official still doesn't have enough evidence to prove it...... So, the next step is to look for evidence. ”

"What is completely certain now is that four of the eight men between the ages of twenty and thirty in the Zhou family must have been thieves!"

"What is most likely certain is ...... Guan Liufei, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, is one of the thieves. ”

"Zhou Qing and Zhou He......"

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Counting Xie Chengming again, although Xie Chengming is very likely to be dead, we can't see the appearance of the corpse after all, for the sake of safety, let's count Xie Chengming...... Among the three teenagers, one must be a survivor and the murderer of Puguang Temple. ”

"Therefore, what we need to do next is to fully understand the information of these twelve people, draw the portraits of the twelve of them by asking the neighbors, and then take them to Chang'an by the official, and according to the portraits of the twelve of them, and other information obtained, to determine whether the three who died are three of them."

"After that, based on the portraits and information, we check the other people to see if we can find the rest, and if we can find them, then we can basically verify all of our guesses."

Lin Feng's method is not very clever, but after all, the case happened ten years ago, and Lin Feng can find the case here now, which is already very powerful.

Next, the usual method was used to further investigate, and everyone did not think that there was any problem.

Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng: "This matter will be handed over to the lower official, and the lower official will let someone investigate tomorrow." ”

Lin Feng didn't refuse, he smiled and said, "Then there is a Laozhuang County Order." ”

Zhuang Yan hurriedly shook his head: "This is the duty of the lower officials." ”

Lin Feng nodded, he looked at the tombs in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "Let's refill these tombs first, and let the deceased rest in peace first...... Xie Fang's wife's body will dig a separate grave for her first, and when we confirm that Xie Fang is alive or dead, if there is a chance, we will bury them together. ”

"And those empty tombs...... Make a note for the time being, inform their families about the incident, and ask their families about the characteristics of the corpses before they died, and then have them carefully examine to see if they can find the missing corpses from the Zhou family. ”

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "This is the safest." ”

Lin Feng yawned, glanced at the dark sky, it was almost time, and he said, "Work as soon as possible, go back to rest after finishing your work, and do other things tomorrow." ”

Zhuang Yan and the others didn't want to stay in this mass grave with gusting winds for a long time, and when they heard Lin Feng's words at this moment, they didn't say a word, and quickly reburied the tomb.

Then he returned to the city to rest.

…………

The next day, in the afternoon.

The gate of the county seat of Zheng County.

Zhuang Yan, the county commander, took the county lieutenant Wang Pengcheng and other county officials to send Lin Feng and others.

Zhuang Yan said: "Lin Sizheng, why are you in such a hurry to leave, and the lower officials have not had time to entertain Lin Sizheng and Sun Langzhong." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The case of Puguang Temple is still hanging there and has not been resolved, and this official really can't eat and drink here with peace of mind." ”

"And Zhuang County has ordered you to do the official a great favor."

Lin Feng raised the paper in his hand and said, "You mobilized all the people in the county government to help the official, just one morning, you got the information and portraits of these twelve people, this is enough, with these intelligence portraits, the official has not come in vain." ”

Sun Fujia on the side also smiled and nodded: "Your efficiency is indeed very high, and the officials are very surprised." ”

Zhuang Yan said: "This is thanks to County Lieutenant Wang, who took people out to investigate early in the morning, otherwise, it would not have been done so quickly." ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is what the lower officials should do, the things of the year were investigated by the lower officials, but the results were investigated, but it caused such a big omission, let the real murderer get away with it, and let Xie Fang's family be wronged until now." ”

"Xia Guan is extremely guilty in his heart, and now he can help do something, so that Xia Guan's heart can be more stable."

Lin Feng said slowly: "County Lieutenant Wang doesn't have to blame himself, although you have negligence, but it is also because of the thief's calculations, even if the officials come to investigate, they will consider this, so although County Lieutenant Wang will have some punishments, but it will not be too serious." ”

When Wang Pengcheng heard this, he was obviously relieved, and he hurriedly handed over his hand to Lin Feng: "Thank you Lin Si is relieved." ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile, he arched his hand at everyone, and said: "The matter of Zheng County, with the cooperation of all of you, if you go to Chang'an another day, this official should be well entertained." ”

After saying that, he didn't delay any longer, and turned directly into the carriage.

Sun Fujia also smiled and arched his hand: "Everyone, there will be a period later." ”

After that, he also boarded the carriage.

As Zhao Fifteen drove the horses, the carriage drove slowly, getting farther and farther away in everyone's field of vision, and finally disappeared at the turn.

Zhuang Yan looked at the disappearing figures of Lin Feng and the others, and said slowly: "I only hope that everything will go well for Lin Sizheng, and after returning to Chang'an, Guan Liufei and them can be caught according to these portraits and information, so that all the tragic deaths in the Zhou family extermination case can rest in peace." ”

Wang Pengcheng listened to Zhuang Yan's words, his eyes were deep, he stared at the end of the road, and did not retract his gaze until he couldn't see anything.

He lowered his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Yes, I just hope everything goes well." ”

…………

That night, the night was dark.

The husband's voice came from afar, fluttering, echoing in the silence of the night.

It's time!

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadow of the wall, he poked his head out and looked left and right, saw that there was no one nearby, and came directly to a half-hidden door.

Under the moonlight, you can see that the plaque above this door is half blackened.

There is only one faint word "Zhou", which can barely be seen clearly.

He reached out and touched the door, and with a slight force, the half-hidden door was pushed open.

He quickly dodged behind the door, then quickly closed it again.

With that, he let out a long breath.

The line of sight looked at the desolate and dilapidated house, under the ruins of the walls, withered grass was overgrown.

It's like a forgotten area in the middle of a bustling county.

Without hesitation, he carried his burden and walked quickly through the courtyard, stepping on the dark wood, and came to the backyard.

The backyard where the owners lived was the most burned out.

The stones, the wood, all charred.

Even the ground has some scorched marks.

Whether it is in the courtyard or in the house, it is all dry grass at this time, and there is no difference anymore.

If you don't know this place very well, it is absolutely difficult to quickly tell which room belongs to the master and which room belongs to the servant.

And when this figure came to the back house, he didn't hesitate, he just glanced at the ruins in front of him, and quickly found the target, and walked quickly.

Arriving at a room full of ruins, he tied his baggage tightly and quickly removed the blackened half of the wood and some stones with his hands.

As the wood and stones were removed, a hole came into view.

The hole is not small, and although it is impossible to stand and walk in it, crawling is not affected in the slightest.

Looking at the entrance of this cave, this figure evoked a smug smile, he grabbed his burden, raised his head, and took a deep look at the moon above his head, as if he wanted to remember the moon of Zheng County in his heart.

Then he didn't hesitate and crawled straight into the cave.

The secret passage was not long, after all, the Zhou family was not far from the city wall, and it didn't take long for him to see the light outside.

His expression didn't change at all, and it was clear that this was not the first time he had climbed this secret passage.

Climbing smoothly to the entrance of the cave, he reached out and lifted the lid that covered the opening, and then stuck his head up.

He was just about to climb out of the secret passage and welcome the free world outside the city.

But suddenly......

His eyes froze.

At that moment, the pupils shrank suddenly.

His face turned pale and frightened in an instant.

In that way, it was like a cunning fox who thought he had escaped from life, but he didn't expect that he would go straight into the hunter's cage.

He looked ahead......

I saw that not far from the exit of the secret passage, there was a fire jumping.

Zhao Shifu and the others, who had already left during the day, actually gathered there to bake the fire.

At this time, Zhao Fifteen and the others seemed to hear the sound and turned to look at the entrance of the cave.

He hurriedly retracted his head, and his clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He didn't have time to think about it, he didn't have time to think about why Zhao Fifteen, who had already left, would bake the fire at the exit of this secret passage.

He hurriedly turned around and crawled back!

This time, he was no longer as relaxed as he had been when he came, his lips pursed, his pupils twitching, and his face pale and anxious.

He climbed very fast, and it took him half the time he had come, and he climbed back.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, he paused and looked out of the cave.

Seeing that there was no head poking here at the entrance of the cave, the horror and nervousness in his eyes relaxed a little.

Without the slightest delay, he cautiously poked his head out, praying in his heart that he would not see anyone...... Then, his gaze met a pair of dark and deep eyes, as if he had seen through everything!

Brush!

The pupils that had been narrowed because of nervousness, at this moment, directly turned into a black dot, and then the pupils instantly dilated, and the whole person seemed to be frightened and lost his soul, he raised his head suddenly, and then heard a bang, and his head hit the stone directly, and he suddenly screamed in pain.

"Why are you so daring?"

Lin Feng muttered, and then shouted, "Arrest him." ”

When the officials heard this, they hurriedly came up and quickly dragged the man out.

And when they pulled the man out of the hole, and saw his appearance by the light of the torches, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of shock.

"County Lieutenant Wang!"

"It's him!?"

"How could it be him?"

The officials were in disbelief.

Sun Fujia, who was on the side, saw Wang Pengcheng's frightened appearance, his eyelids jumped, and he said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that the person with the problem turned out to be him!" ”

At this time, Wang Pengcheng was sitting on the ground, his whole body was trembling, his face was pale, his pupils were dilated, as if he was really frightened, and he had not eased up until now.

It can be imagined what scared him when he poked his head out just now and met Lin Feng's eyes.

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Pengcheng, summoned a servant, and said, "Go find Zhuang County and order them over, this is their county's business, and Zhuang County's order should also know this." ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the officials didn't dare to delay, and quickly turned around and left.

Not long after the officials left, there was suddenly another movement at the entrance of the cave.

When everyone looked at it, they saw Zhao Fifteen's head exposed.

Seeing Wang Pengcheng sitting on the ground, he grinned directly and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you are really a god, how do you know that someone will definitely leave through the secret passage tonight?" And then let's intercept people at the exit of the secret passage? ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, he also looked at Lin Feng with curiosity.

In fact, at noon today, they really thought that after Lin Feng got the portrait, he would return to Chang'an immediately.

After all, the case of Puguang Temple has not yet been concluded, and he is still waiting for Lin Feng's clues here.

Judging from Lin Feng's efficiency in investigating cases in the past, it is very normal for Lin Feng to return to Chang'an immediately after getting the clues he wants.

Therefore, even Sun Fujia didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Feng's decision during the day.

But who knows, not long after they left Zheng County, Lin Feng suddenly stopped everyone.

Then Lin Feng asked the soldiers to divide into two ways, one route was led by Zhao Fifteen, and after nightfall, he secretly rushed to the exit of the secret passage and guarded there.

If you find anyone walking out of the secret passage, you will be arrested.

On the other hand, Lin Feng took Sun Fujia and the others, changed their clothes, dressed up in disguise, and secretly returned to Zheng County before it was dark.

Then quietly, he came to this week's house.

Originally, Sun Fujia hadn't understood the reason why Lin Feng had done these things, but now, he finally understood.

Lin Feng had already calculated that someone was going to take advantage of the night to escape, so he waited here for Wang Pengcheng to deliver it to the door by himself.

But why is Lin Feng sure that Wang Pengcheng will leave tonight? Why are you sure that Wang Pengcheng will definitely leave from this secret passage? Sun Fujia was also very puzzled.

Lin Feng saw that everyone was looking at him, and said with a smile: "Wait for a while, and when the Zhuang County Order arrives, this official will explain." ”

"Otherwise, after the Zhuang County order comes, the official will have to re-explain, which will be a real waste of saliva."

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to suppress the curiosity in their hearts and wait for Zhuang Yan and other Zheng County officials to arrive.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the sound of anxious footsteps suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and saw the county commander Zhuang Yan with the county government and the people, holding torches and walking quickly.

Zhuang Yan's face was full of surprise, full of confusion, after coming to Lin Feng, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lin Sizheng, you ...... Aren't you already gone? How did it end up here? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Pengcheng, who was sitting on the ground, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes were even more dazed: "County Captain Wang, why are you here?" What's wrong with you? ”

Zhuang Yan looked confused, he slept just right, and he was called up in a daze, saying that Lin Feng asked him to come to the Zhou Mansion immediately.

So until now, he didn't know what was going on.

The county officials, the chief bookkeepers, and the officials behind him didn't know what was going on, they were called up by Zhuang Yan.

Therefore, after hearing Zhuang Yan's words, they all looked at Lin Feng very curiously, completely unable to understand the scene in front of them.

Lin Feng met their gaze and said slowly, "When the people are here, let's start." ”

When everyone heard this, they stared at Lin Feng tightly.

I saw Lin Feng look at Wang Pengcheng who was sitting on the ground, and said lightly: "County Lieutenant Wang, haven't come back to your senses yet?" Do you need to order someone to bring you a basin of cold water to help you get back to your soul? ”

Wang Pengcheng still didn't respond.

Lin Feng looked directly at Zhao Fifteen, Zhao Fifteen nodded, and quickly turned around to find a basin of water.

He came to Wang Pengcheng and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Wang, if you don't speak again, this basin of water will be poured on you, you should know how uncomfortable it will be after your clothes are wet on such a cold night, right?" ”

"Moreover, since the father-in-law is here waiting for you to deliver it to the door, don't you think that if you don't speak, the father-in-law really doesn't know anything, and there is nothing he can do about you, right? Wherefore why have you suffered this sin in vain? ”

Wang Pengcheng listened to Zhao Fifteen's words, and looked at the cold and biting water in Zhao Fifteen's hand, and his face changed slightly.

Seeing that Zhao Fifteen was about to splash water on himself after speaking, Wang Pengcheng hurriedly spoke: "Thank you Lin Sizheng, the lower officials have come to their senses." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Fifteen stopped the movements in his hand and grinned: "It's good to be like this earlier." ”

Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Fifteen approvingly, Zhao Fifteen scratched his head, and said with a smile: "In the prison of the Criminal Department, there is always some experience. ”

It seems that Zhao Fifteen, the jailer, was not in vain.

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "Since County Lieutenant Wang has come to his senses...... Can the county lieutenant Wang explain, what are you doing with your bags and secretly leaving the secret passage when no one is around? ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan and the others knew what Wang Pengcheng had done.

"You're leaving?"

Zhuang Yan looked at Wang Pengcheng and said puzzledly: "County Lieutenant Wang, weren't you okay when we separated in the evening?" Why are you leaving all of a sudden? And still sneak away? ”

The others were also confused.

But Wang Pengcheng opened his mouth, but finally shook his head and did not answer.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and shook his head, and said slowly, "Don't answer?" Don't know how to answer? Still don't dare to tell the truth? ”

Wang Pengcheng's face changed, Zhuang Yan frowned, he only felt confused, he looked at Lin Feng, and couldn't help but say, "Lin Sizheng, what's going on?" Why did County Lieutenant Wang leave secretly? ”

Lin Feng listened to Zhuang Yan's words, glanced at Wang Pengcheng deeply, and then said: "Zhuang County Order, now continue our reasoning about the Zhou family's extermination case last night." ”

He looked at everyone and said, "Although last night the official had already speculated on all the possibilities of the Zhou family's extermination case, and also found out the twelve suspects. ”

"But in fact, that's not all the clues that the official has."

"At the same time, there are some strange things that happened on the night of the Zhou family's murder case, without in-depth reasoning and analysis."

Zhuang Yan was stunned: "What else happened that night, strange things, without reasoning and analysis?" ”

Everyone else was at a loss.

Even Wang Pengcheng, who was sitting on the ground, subconsciously looked at Lin Feng secretly at this time.

I saw Lin Feng tighten his sleeves and move slightly closer to the torch to dispel the chill of the late autumn night for himself.

Then he said slowly: "There are many strange things. ”

"For example......

Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "As the official speculated before, one of the three teenagers of the Zhou family was able to escape smoothly. ”

"And what he did after he escaped successfully was to secretly follow those thieves to the mass grave, and then returned to the Zhou family, and after those thieves set fire, he ran to the mass grave to steal the corpse and exchange it for his own ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused, his eyes met Zhuang Yan's, and he said slowly: "Zhuang County Order, when you heard this official's words, didn't you notice that something was wrong?" ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment: "Something is wrong?" ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Does the Zhuang County Order think that this young man is very reasonable to do this?" ”

"As a county magistrate, shouldn't Zhou County Commander feel that such a young man who has undergone a sudden change will be able to escape from Zhou's Mansion after discovering that all his family members have died tragically and the thieves have left...... In this case, shouldn't he go to find the people of the yamen and report to the yamen, hoping that the yamen will catch the thief and avenge his family? ”

Zhuang Yan was directly stunned.

His pupils fluttered violently, and his expression changed completely: "This ...... This...... Yes, he should have reported it immediately, but he, he didn't. ”

"Not only did he not report it immediately!"

Lin Feng followed Zhuang Yan's words and said in a deep voice: "But since then, for ten years, ten years, he would rather find the murderer himself, and would rather do it himself than report to the official!" ”

Lin Feng looked at him: "Zhuang County Ling thinks, is this normal?" Why would he rather do it himself than report to the authorities? Why didn't he report to the police even though he already knew who the murderer was? ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhuang Yan opened his mouth, and couldn't help but take a step back when Lin Feng said a word, but he didn't know how to answer Lin Feng's words at all.

Then, he heard Lin Feng's voice say in a low voice: "There can only be one reason why he has such an abnormal behavior. ”

"That's it...... He doesn't believe in our government! ”

"But back then, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy suffered such a great change and was so helpless, but he would rather dig his own grave and steal the body than go to your county government official and ask for your help...... Why? Why didn't he go to you? ”

Zhuang Yan seemed to think of something, his eyes widened violently, and he lost his voice: "Could it be, is it?" ”

"I believe that the Zhuang County Order should also understand."

"There can only be one reason for all this strange and abnormal behavior...... That is, he doesn't believe in your county government, or he can't believe your county government! ”

"Why can't I believe you?"

Lin Feng's eyes swept over the people of Zhengxian County, and those eyes were like knives, cold and dazzling, so that the officials and officials only felt as if a mountain was pressing on them, making them subconsciously lower their heads, and they didn't dare to look at Lin Feng at all.

Then, they heard Lin Feng's cold voice ringing out: "There is only one possibility...... He knows that there are people in your county government who are accomplices of those thieves! ”

"How dare he?"
