Brush it up!

As Lin Feng's voice fell.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Their eyes widened, and before they had time to dissipate, a look of dazedness and surprise had already appeared on their faces.

Even the calm Jingci Shitai, even the hot-tempered Jinglan Shitai, and even the scheming Huizhi were completely stunned in place.

It was really Lin Feng's words, and the information contained in them was too explosive.

directly overturned all of their cognitions!

What did Lin Feng say?

He asked Fayun, why did she admit that she was the murderer when it was clear that the real murderer was not her?

Doesn't this mean that Fayun is not a murderer at all!

Their sadness just now, the unbelievable sadness just now, are all wrong?

"Fayun, is it really not you who is the real murderer?"

Jing Ci couldn't help but look at her beloved disciple and said, "If it's not you, why do you have to admit it?" Don't you know that this is a terrible thing!? ”

When the others heard this, they also looked at Fayun closely at this time.

They don't understand what Fayun is doing.

Fa Yun, who was being watched by everyone, lowered his head at this time.

The pair of beautiful white little hands clutched the corners of the clothes tightly, because they were too hard, the blood vessels on the back of the hands were very obvious.

She pursed her mouth tightly, just shook her head, and said: "Lin Sizheng doesn't understand what the poor nuns mean, the murderer is the poor nun, why does Lin Sizheng want to say that the poor nuns are not?" ”

Listening to Fayun's words, Jing Ci's brows couldn't help frowning.

Lin Feng said that Fayun was not a murderer.

But Fayun insisted that he was the murderer.

At this moment, everyone couldn't figure it out at all.

Puguang Temple and others, who ate melons, found that they couldn't understand the play.

Killing someone is not a glorious thing, and the identity of the murderer may be worth his life, so in the eyes of everyone, Fayun has no need to lie at all.

But Lin Feng's judgment is like the image of a god, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they also trust Lin Feng very much.

This led to a violent collision of two ideas that were extremely contradictory, making them completely unable to understand the situation in front of them.

Lin Feng listened to Fayun's words, his eyes were slightly deep, and he said calmly: "Those three questions just now, none of your answers are perfect, they are all full of obvious loopholes, how can you make this official believe that you are the murderer?" ”

"What?" Fayun was stunned.

Everyone was also stunned.

Fayun's answers, are there loopholes?

Why didn't they hear it?

Xiao Man'er's bright eyes flashed slightly, and when she heard Lin Feng's words, she went back to think of Yun's answer, her pair of sheared pupils widened slightly, and she seemed to understand something.

This made her eyes light up suddenly, and she looked at Lin Feng's gaze, full of excitement.

"First question!"

Lin Feng looked at Fa Yun, who had a gentle temperament, and said, "This official asked you how you led Hui Yun to the back mountain to commit murder, and your answer was a threat. ”

Fayun frowned slightly: "Is the threat unreasonable?" ”

Lin Feng laughed: "Whether it is reasonable or not depends on the specific situation." ”

"The results of Huiyun's autopsy, this official has already told you."

"The murderer was behind Huiyun, directly put on the rope, and then took advantage of Huiyun's inattention, strangled Huiyun hard, dragged it backwards, and finally strangled Huiyun to death."

"What does that mean?"

Fayun looked dazed, and subconsciously shook his head.

Lin Feng said: "Since the murderer can do it behind Huiyun, it means that Huiyun does not have much defense against the murderer, otherwise, in the middle of the night, it will be in the woods without people...... Huiyun will never turn her back to others, and will never let others disappear from her sight. ”

"But as you said, you said that you threatened Huiyun and called Huiyun to the back mountain...... If it's a threat, then Huiyun will never have any trust in you, so how can she rest assured that she will turn her back to you? ”

Fa Yun listened to Lin Feng's words, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

She subconsciously tensed her body and pursed her mouth, not knowing how to refute Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Lin Feng continued: "Second question, this official asked you how you got Huiyun to the roof. ”

"You said it was with the help of rope, and it took a lot of effort."

Fayun said: "This is no problem, right?" ”

Lin Feng looked at the small clump of Fayun and said lightly: "How much strength a person has can be judged according to his physique and muscles. ”

"It's not that the official underestimates you, it's really your physique and thin figure that make it hard for the official to believe how much strength you have."

"And to be honest, you can't save any effort by relying on the rope alone, and even if you simply pull the rope on the roof, it will be more laborious."

Lin Feng looked Fayun up and down, and said, "You have slender arms, you don't have a callus on your hands, and you don't even do heavy work at all, so how do you make this official believe that you can do these things?" ”

"Of course, you can say that you have more strength than you seem, and that's easy to verify......"

Lin Feng looked at the other nuns, and finally his gaze fell on Huiyuan, and said, "Master Huiyuan and Master Huiyun are about the same physique, and their weight should be similar, if you can pull Master Huiyuan to the roof with a rope, then the official will admit that I have lost my eyes and apologize to you...... But can you do it? ”

Huiyuan didn't expect to have his own role.

She hurriedly said, "Poor Ni is a little lighter than Huiyun. ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The light part will be regarded as a gift, Fa Yun...... Want to give it a try? ”

Fayun Silver Tooth bit his lower lip, his face turned slightly pale, and he was silent and did not answer.

And by this time, silence has proven a lot of things.

Jing Ci sighed, looking at Fayun with a look of disappointment, but more of a joy.

Compared with Fayun's lies, it is obvious that she hopes that Fayun is not the real murderer, and hopes that Fayun will be safe.

"One last question."

Lin Feng looked at the silent Fayun and continued, "This official asked you where the Jinyun robe is...... You're smart, you don't know where the robe is, so you can't give the right answer, and you know that if you talk nonsense, it's easy for someone to see through your lies. ”

"Therefore, you gave an answer of 'I don't want to say', and you even gave a reason, saying that you want the Jinyun robe to stay in the Half Moon Nunnery forever."

Fayun couldn't help but say, "Is there a problem with this?" They want to steal the Jinyun robe and frame my half-moon hermitage, so the poor nuns want to treat them in the same way as others, leave the robe in the half-moon hermitage, and let them steal chickens and rice, this is always right? ”

When the other little nuns heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

They all thought it made sense, and they thought it was infuriating.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Indeed, you are very relieved to do this. ”

"If it's other Buddhist treasures, it's understandable and reasonable for you to do this."

"But only the brocade robe...... No way! ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Unless you want dozens of people in the entire Half Moon Nunnery to be buried for you!" ”

Fayun was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Lin Feng looked at her and said, "Just now you were unprepared and thought about the reason temporarily, so you didn't think about it enough, but now it seems that you should have understood." ”

"The Jinyun robe is not only a treasure of Buddhism, but also a blessing for the prince that His Majesty wants to prepare, if the Jinyun robe is really lost in the Half Moon Nunnery, it will delay His Majesty's prayer for the prince and delay the illness of His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Once Your Majesty is furious, do you think the Half Moon Nunnery can still exist?"

Fa Yun listened to Lin Feng's words, his hands were subconsciously clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Feng said: "From the attitude of Master Jingci and others towards you, it can be seen that you are very popular in the Half Moon Nunnery, so this official thinks that you should not want the Half Moon Nunnery to be buried for you, even so, how could you hide the Jinyun robe?" ”

Fayun lowered his head deeply, pursed his lips, and did not say a word again.

Lin Feng analyzed and reasoned about her three answers.

And she couldn't refute any of them.

At this moment, there is no need for Fayun to say anything, everyone has already understood that Fayun is indeed not the real murderer!

She voluntarily pleaded guilty, but there was another secret.

"Fayun!"

Jing Ci looked at his disciple, frowned, and said, "Why do you still have to confess?" Haven't you said it yet? ”

When Fayun heard this, she couldn't stop crying, she shook her head, and said, "Master, the disciple is not filial...... Don't ask, master. ”

"You ......"

Jing Ci saw that the most sensible disciple was stubborn at this time, and she was angry, angry and puzzled.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, what's going on?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Fa Yun, who lowered his head and wept silently, and said slowly: "Under normal circumstances, there are probably two reasons for a person to admit a crime that she did not commit. ”

"Which two?" Jing Ci asked hurriedly.

The others also looked at Lin Feng nervously and curiously.

Lin Feng said: "The first ...... She was coerced, and if she didn't admit it and didn't take the blame for others, then she would suffer an unacceptable blow. ”

"For example, if someone threatens her with the life of her family, or with the life or future of the person she cares about the most, as long as she has someone or something she cares about, then there is a possibility of being threatened."

Jing Ci frowned: "Fayun is an orphan, she was raised by a poor nun and her junior sister since she was a child, and she has no family...... But there are a lot of people she cares about, she has a good personality, she is kind, she takes good care of all her junior sisters, and some of the younger disciples are brought up by her, so if the real murderer threatens her with these people, with her character, I am afraid she will really stand up without hesitation. ”

Lin Feng's gaze was firmly fixed on Fa Yun, taking in all the subtle movements of Fa Yun, and continued: "There is a second situation. ”

"And this situation has been encountered by this official in a case."

"What?" Jing Ci asked hurriedly.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said, "No one threatened her, she deliberately took the blame!" ”

Jingci was stunned: "I was not threatened, and I deliberately took the blame?" ”

"How is this possible!" Huizhi said directly: "Is she a fool?" Without any benefit and without any threats, he voluntarily confessed to the murder on behalf of others? ”

Huiyuan couldn't believe it either, and said, "This is completely unreasonable, right? Who would do such a stupid thing? ”

"Stupid?"

Lin Feng listened to their words, but said calmly: "This official prefers to call it the warmth of human affection. ”

The warmth of human affection?

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Man'er also looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

Then I heard Lin Feng say: "This official once encountered a case, in this case, there was a father, he was unprepared, he learned that his son had killed someone, and then, the father made a decision as soon as possible...... He voluntarily confessed to the murder and took all the blame for his son. ”

Xiao Man'er listened to Lin Feng's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said; "Are you talking about Zhao Deshun?"

Zhao Deshun?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon, they remembered the situation of Zhao Deshun's case.

As one of Lin Feng's most famous cases, Mr. Storyteller likes the case of big books the most, and all the nuns have heard of some of them.

Lin Feng nodded slightly to Xiao Man'er and said with a smile: "Man'er really has the most tacit understanding with me. ”

He said: "That's right, it's Zhao Deshun!" And the reason why Zhao Deshun confessed to the murder for his son was because of his deep love for his son, which is the most respectable father's love. ”

"Like Zhao Deshun, when a person's feelings transcend their own life and death, when the weight of others in their hearts is heavier than their own lives, what is the value of death?"

And this is the second possibility! If Fayun is also like Zhao Deshun, valuing feelings and ignoring herself, then it is not an incomprehensible thing for her to apologize for the murderer when she knows who the murderer is. ”

When Huizhi and Huiyuan heard this, the whole person was stunned.

They couldn't help but look at Fayun, their faces full of disbelief.

It seems that it is impossible to believe that there really is such a stupid person in this world.

But Jingci looked at Fayun's gaze, but it was full of complexity, she knew her eldest disciple too well.

Fayun's kindness, Fayun's heavy feelings, she is very clear.

So she felt that if Fayun really knew who the murderer was, in order to protect the murderer, Fayun might really do something to apologize for him.

She looked at Fayun and said, "Fayun, now everyone knows that you are innocent, so why do you continue to hide it?" You can at least tell us what made you take the blame for others, right? ”

Fayun listened to Jing Ci's words, was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jingci was angry and anxious.

"Mrs. Shi, don't force Fayun."

At this time, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded.

Jing Ci couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and then listened to Lin Feng say: "In case she is coerced, then once she says it, there may be something that she can't accept, even so, let's respect her choice." ”

"Not to mention that even if she says it, the official still has to find evidence to find clues, if there is not enough evidence and clues, her words still can't be counted."

"So, at the end of the day, the case still has to be investigated...... Since the result is the same, it doesn't make much difference whether she says it or not. ”

Jing Ci listened to Lin Feng's words, thought about it, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Lin Sizheng, the disciple of the poor nun has caused you trouble. ”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's not troublesome, and she also gave the official some hints......

"Hint?" Everyone was stunned.

In addition to giving others the guilt and almost misleading Lin Feng's investigation, what other tips does Fayun have?

How they don't know.

Lin Feng didn't have the idea of explaining, she looked at Mrs. Jingci and said, "Mrs. Shi, let's continue to let people search the shoes, since Fayun washed all his shoes in order to apologize for the crime, it means that there is a high probability that the shoes of the real murderer have also been washed." ”

"If the real murderer coerced her, then she must have washed her shoes at the request of the real murderer, which shows that the real murderer has discovered the problem with his shoes and has definitely dealt with it."

"If she takes the initiative to apologize for the real murderer, it means that she must have found out that the real murderer washed her shoes, otherwise she wouldn't have washed her shoes for no reason......"

When Master Jingci heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "What Lin Sizheng said is reasonable, this matter is ...... the poor nun personally took someone to investigate."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." ”

"But Mrs. Shi also left two people for the official, and the official wants to go to the back mountain to have a look and see if he can find the scene of the crime, if he can find the scene, he may be able to find more clues."

Master Jingci nodded hurriedly: "The poor nun asked the junior sister and the Dharma Yuan to accompany her, the junior sister knows the most about the affairs of the nunnery, if there is any problem in the Lin Temple, you can ask the junior sister directly." ”

Jinglan folded her hands directly to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, the poor nun will take you to the back mountain." ”

Lin Feng smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Mrs. Jinglan." ”

The crowd did not delay any longer, and directly divided into two ways.

Master Jingci led a large army and searched everyone's rooms.

Lin Feng, under the leadership of Jinglan, went to the back mountain with Fa Yuan and Xiao Man'er.

As he walked, Fa Yuan looked at Lin Feng curiously and said, "Lin Sizheng thinks that Senior Sister is the real murderer, what is the reason?" ”

When Jing Lan and Xiao Man'er heard this, their eyes fell on Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng shook his head, he knew that the Fa Yuan was Xiao Man'er's third sister, so he was very kind to the Fa Yuan, and he smiled: "I don't dare to talk nonsense until there is enough evidence." ”

"The most taboo subjective assumptions in the investigation of the case, once there is a subjective idea, then in the investigation, it is easy to be biased, if the direction is correct, it is fine, but if it is wrong, it is the opposite of the south, and it is getting farther and farther away from the truth."

Hearing this, Fa Yuan said with emotion: "It's still Lin Si who is cautious, if it was a poor nun, he couldn't help but guess a long time ago." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "When people face unknown things, they can't help but look for a reasonable reason that they can accept, this is human nature. ”

"Kelin Temple can resist this kind of human nature, which is even more rare." Dharma Wish.

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Man'er.

How can this Dharma wish to change the Dharma and boast about itself?

Is it for Xiao Man'er's sake?

Could it be that the third sister-in-law is very satisfied with him and has already agreed to their marriage?

Xiao Man'er seemed to feel Lin Feng's gaze at this time, she raised her head and met Lin Feng's eyes.

He immediately smiled lightly at Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's heart was immediately settled.

He felt as if the big events of his life were really going to be solved.

And at this time, Jinglan's voice suddenly sounded: "We have arrived." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that they had already left the building area of the Half Moon Nunnery, and there was a mountain forest in front of them.

The trees are overgrown, the weeds are withered, and at first glance, there is no mountain road in sight.

Jinglan said: "We rarely set foot in the back mountain area, so there is no road here, and if you want to go up the mountain, you can only open up a road by yourself." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He walked into the forest and immediately stomped on the ground with his shoes.

Looking at the situation under his feet, Lin Feng frowned slightly and said, "The ground in this mountain forest is very hard and dry, not wet and soft...... This is not in line with the situation of Master Huiyun. ”

Jinglan thought for a moment and explained: "The mountains are already prone to drought, and the last rain was not heavy, and it has been a few days, so it is normal for the soil to be dry. ”

It's normal for the soil to be dry, but Huiyun's situation is not normal......

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "All the way we have come, the ground of the Half Moon Nunnery is paved with stones, and it is true that it cannot be contaminated with soil. ”

"The soil that Huiyun Shitai struggled out of should have been stained on this back mountain, but the ground on the back mountain was very dry and hard......

His eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Mrs. Jinglan, I wonder if there is a river or stream in the back mountain?" ”

Jinglan shook her head: "No, this mountain is relatively steep, and the river can't flow in at all." ”

"No?"

Lin Feng's brows couldn't help frowning...... The ground is dry and hard, and there is no river or anything like that, so where else will it be wet?

"Although there is no river or stream...... but at this time, Fa Yuan suddenly said: "But there is a spring in this mountain, and I know that there is a spring where there will seep out. ”

"Spring?"

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Where is it?" ”

Fa Yuan said: "It's not far from here, poor nun will take you there." ”

As he spoke, he walked up the mountain.

Because there was no road, Fa Yuan had to find a way to overwhelm the withered grass while walking, and it was very hard to walk.

Seeing this, Lin Feng walked directly to the front of the Fa Yuan, and he said, "You show the way, and this official is responsible for opening the way." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a dagger and cut off the dead grass that stood in his way.

With Lin Feng in front of her, the pressure of the law suddenly decreased, she glanced at Lin Feng who was blocking in front of her, and immediately raised her green finger and said, "Turn left ahead." ”

"Good!"

With Lin Feng opening the way, everyone's speed increased significantly.

I walked for a quarter of an hour and stopped.

"Just ahead, where the grass is still green, there is a small spring. ”

Lin Feng saw the place where the Dharma Wish was pointing at a glance, and he walked over quickly.

When he got closer, Lin Feng clearly felt that the soil here was beginning to soften, and the grass around him had withered, but the grass in front of him was still green.

He pushed aside the grass and saw a hole about three inches long, with water flowing out.

And the water exudes white air.

Lin Feng squatted down, put his hand into the spring water, and found that the water was still warm.

It's still a hot spring.

"It's no wonder that the grass around here is still green, and the hot springs ensure the temperature around it, so it's no surprise that even in the cold of winter, the grass here will remain green."

When Fa Yuan heard Lin Feng's words, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Lin Sizheng is really powerful, you can guess this...... That's right, even in winter, the grass here is green, and it was in winter that the poor nun happened to pass by here and found that the grass here was green, and then he knew that there was a spring here. ”

Jing Lan looked at the bubbling spring water and looked surprised: "Poor Ni didn't know that there was a spring here. ”

Fa Yuan said: "Uncle Shi doesn't come to Houshan once a year, and there is no road on the mountain, even if he comes to Houshan, he may not go here, and it is normal to not know." ”

Jinglan nodded, she looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, is this the place where the murderer killed Huiyun?" ”

Hearing Jinglan's question, Fa Yuan and Xiao Man'er were busy looking at Lin Feng.

I saw Lin Feng push aside the grass around him little by little, and looked under the grass.

At this time, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said, "Look! There are traces here! ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly walked over.

Then they found that on the ground in front of Lin Feng, there were some footprints, as well as a very obvious drag trace.

The moist ground was pulled out of a trail more than a foot long, starting not far from the spring and stopping in front of a poplar tree a foot away.

"This is really the first scene where Huiyun was killed!" Jinglan looked happy: "We have finally found the scene of the crime." ”

Fa Yuan and Xiao Man'er also showed excitement.

Being able to find the scene of the crime means that there is no problem with Lin Feng's previous inference, and if Lin Feng can find other clues, he may be able to directly find out the identity of the real murderer.

They looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

At this time, they found that Lin Feng was squatting next to the drag tracks, carefully checking the drag marks.

"The drag marks are about an inch deep, and there are obvious kicking marks on both sides, which shows that when the murderer tied Huiyun Shitai's neck and dragged it back hard, Huiyun Shitai was still alive, and he had been struggling hard, trying to break free."

While speaking, Lin Feng followed the trail of drag to the end, he leaned against the poplar tree with his back, looked at the trail of drag, and said, "Even if it comes to the end, there are still traces of kicking on both sides...... When Master Huiyun arrived, she was still alive. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Then when did she die?" Where did he die? ”

Lin Feng carefully inspected the trails of dragging: "When it comes to the end, the trails of trailing are the same as those of other places, and there are no significantly increased traces of struggle and kicking, which means that after this is here...... Either Master Huiyun happened to be strangled to death, or ...... The murderer switched to other means. ”

He thought as he looked in other directions on the ground.

There are no visible traces in other directions, and the drag trail ends only here.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the poplar tree behind him.

At this time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, his fingertips stretched out to a piece of bark on the trunk, gently wiped it on it, and then withdrew his fingers and looked at his fingertips.

"What is this?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He twisted his fingertips slightly, then put them under his nose and sniffed them.

"That's ...... so"

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth were slightly hooked.

Then he raised his head, glanced at the tree trunk above, and after thinking about it, Lin Feng climbed directly to the tree and came to a thick branch.

He looked at the branch in front of him, his eyes flashed, and said, "Sure enough, ......"

Seeing Lin Feng's strange behavior, Jing Lan's face couldn't help but be full of curiosity, Jing Lan said, "Lin Sizheng, have you found anything?" ”

Lin Feng jumped down from the tree and said, "This official already knows how Master Huiyun was killed by the murderer. ”

"But the murderer's situation is a little strange."

"Strange?" Jinglan was stunned: "What's strange?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, and he came to those footprints near the spring.

Looking at these chaotic footprints, Lin Feng thought about it and took out Huiyun's shoes.

She pointed her shoes at the footprints, found Huiyun's footprints one by one, and marked them.

After doing this, the remaining footprints of the real murderer will be obvious.

Lin Feng came to a footprint, looked at the very obvious footprints, and put his fingers on it to measure.

Said: "The footprints are seven inches long, two and a half inches wide, about nineteen inches long, three inches wide, the toe and heel marks are deep, the ups and downs are powerful, and there are obvious stepping marks and pedal marks......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and said, "That's not right." ”

Xiao Man'er saw Lin Feng's strange expression, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

"These footprints are wrong!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and said, "It's too wrong, it shouldn't appear here!" ”

"Shouldn't you?"

Xiao Man'er was stunned.

Jinglan and Fa Yuan also looked at each other.

They didn't understand what Lin Feng meant at all.

Obviously, the real murderer was Huiyun who was killed here, but why did Lin Feng say that the footprints should not appear here.

What exactly did Lin Feng find?
