Chapter 201: Unexpectedly Discovered, the Dead Are Members of the Four Elephants!
In the interrogation room full of torture instruments, with the sound of Lin Feng's voice, it fell into an eerie silence in an instant.
County Lieutenant Zhao Xieyang's hand was still pressing heavily on the table, his eyes were still staring sharply at Lin Feng, and his face was still flushed from humiliation, but he didn't take the next step, and the whole person seemed to be pointed, and he froze directly in place.
And the two jailers who were close to Lin Feng stopped in an instant, and looked at Lin Feng blankly, the expression on their faces was full of surprise and disbelief, they were completely at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.
Several people present were shocked by Lin Feng's self-destructive identity.
After the time of three breaths, Zhao Xieyang sat up straight, his eyes stared at Lin Feng in a Taoist robe, his face was full of suspicion: "You said that you are the head of Dali Temple?" That legendary detective Lin Feng? β
Lin Feng glanced up and down at Zhao Xieyang, and said slowly: "Your eyes are bloodshot, and the area around your eye sockets is dark, which means that you didn't rest well last night, and there is a slightly faint red mark under your left neck, even in this bloody interrogation room, there is still a faint inferior fragrance diffusing from you, and at the same time, your placket is stained with obvious stains, not surprisingly, it should be a vegetable stain stain from last night's entertainment." β
"And you came to the inn to search at dawn this morning, and I didn't get up at that time, and it was far from the time of your duty, which means that you must have been woken up in your sleep, and you got up and hurriedly put on your clothes and came to the inn to search."
"If you were at home last night, even if you drank too much for socializing, your wife would definitely prepare clean clothes for you, and would not let you, a dignified county lieutenant, come out to work in dirty clothes."
"And you are a dignified county lieutenant, you are one of the top few existences in Shenshan County, and you will not be short of money to buy inferior rouge for your lady......"
"So, if the official's expectation is good, you should have spent the night in the Qinglou last night, the inferior fragrance on your body is the rouge used by those dusty women, and the vague red marks on your neck should be left on your neck by the woman who accompanied you last night, because you were suddenly called up in the morning, the Qinglou woman will not serve you to change your clothes like your lady, so no one will wipe this lip print clean for you, you can only wipe it a few times to make it lighter, and you can't see the traces left by your lips."
"At the same time, because you were suddenly called up to perform official duties, you didn't have a chance to return home and change into clean clothes, so you couldn't wear this clothes that were obviously stained with vegetables to work...... Oh and ......"
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang with a smile, and said lightly: "You didn't rest well last night, you should have been fighting in the Qinglou for a long time, right?" β
Lin Feng's voice disappeared, but the already quiet interrogation room was even quieter at this moment.
The two jailers all opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lin Feng in a daze, their faces full of shocked and shocked expressions.
And Zhao Xieyang felt that his brain was buzzing.
Such nuanced reasoning, such accurate reasoning...... Just by seeing oneself, you can completely deduce what you did last night, which ...... This is not the legendary Lin Feng, who else could it be?
He stood up with a sudden, his face was full of surprise and stunned, and hurriedly saluted Lin Feng: "Xiaguan has seen Lin Sizheng!" β
Seeing this, the two jailers finally reacted at this moment, and they all hurriedly followed Zhao Xieyang to salute Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't continue to doubt this official?" Do you need to let people get the identity token? β
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly shook his head, and he said: "The miracle of Lin Si salvaging the sunken ship in Cizhou a few days ago has already spread, and this caravan from the Western Regions happened to come from the direction of Cizhou, so it is not surprising that Lin Si is in the middle of it. β
When Lin Feng heard this, he glanced at Zhao Xieyang deeply.
Although Zhao Xieyang is accustomed to interrogating people by severe torture, he does not punish anyone casually.
The two people he chose, Brido and himself, were the most suspicious, as Zhao Xieyang just said.
So from this point of view, Zhao Xieyang still has some bottom line, and Zhao Xieyang can quickly think of the rumors in Cizhou after he tells his identity, which means that he reacts very quickly, and he is not a mediocre person.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Then do you still suspect that it was the person killed by this official?" β
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly shook his head and said nervously: "With Lin Sizheng's ability, if he really kills someone, it is impossible for the lower officials to find out easily." β
Lin Feng smiled: "Are you praising this official, or are you saying that this official is more cunning than the murderer?" β
Zhao Xieyang was shocked in his heart, he was afraid that Lin Feng would hate his rude attitude just now, so he hurriedly said: "Xiaguan means that Xiaguan firmly believes that people are not killed by Lin Temple. β
Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Xieyang with a fluttering gaze, and suddenly gave Zhao Xieyang an illusion, as if all the secrets of his whole body had been seen through by Lin Feng at this moment.
He was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head, and his awe of Lin Feng was even heavier.
Lin Feng saw that the effect of shock and deterrence had been achieved, so he no longer delayed the time, and said, "Two things to explain to you." β
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lin Si is asking for orders." β
"First, the identity of this official, as well as the news that the five of this official are in the caravan in the Western Regions, are not allowed to be revealed to anyone, not even your Shenshan County Order!"
When Zhao Xieyang heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he quickly realized that Lin Feng was hiding in the caravan in the Western Regions, and now this secret was only known to the three of them, and he couldn't judge whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Xia Guan understands." β
Lin Feng bowed slightly: "The second thing is to inform this official of the ins and outs of this case completely, and there is no concealment of anything." β
Zhao Xieyang raised his head violently and looked at Lin Feng with a look of surprise: "Lin Si is about to investigate the case?" β
Lin Feng smiled: "What? Think you can be completely relaxed? β
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly shook his head: "Xiaguan doesn't dare, it's just that Xiaguan has always admired Lin Sizheng's ability to solve cases, and today I was fortunate to see Lin Sizheng personally investigating the case, and I felt lucky." β
Lin Feng didn't care what Zhao Xieyang thought, the case in front of him was full of doubts, and he had to determine whether it was related to him.
He came directly to Zhao Xieyang's side, and without him opening his mouth, Zhao Xieyang was very discerning and gave up his position and said, "Lin Si is taking a seat." β
Lin Feng sat down and said, "Say it." β
Zhao Xieyang took a deep breath and said: "Don't hide it from Lin Sizheng, last night the official was indeed in the Qinglou, and before dawn this morning, a servant knocked on the door, saying that he had received an anonymous letter, which said that Han Mo, a Jiangyang thief wanted by the imperial court for four years, was hiding in the Blessed Inn at the moment. β
"Han Mo committed a lot of crimes in the first two years of Wude and Zhenguan, and his hands were stained with at least dozens of lives, and the imperial court has been offering a reward for his arrest, so if he can be arrested, the next official will be a great achievement, and he may be able to get a direct chance to be promoted at the end of the year when the officials are evaluated."
"So the lower official hurriedly put on his clothes, and he didn't care about going back to change into clean clothes, so he hurriedly took people to the inn."
"But it turned out ......"
He looked at Lin Feng cautiously and said, "Xia Guan didn't find Han Mo, but found two corpses in the box of the caravan in the Western Regions where Lin Sizheng was. β
Lin Feng picked up the whip on the table, looked at the dark red blood stains stained on the whip, and said slowly: "Those two corpses, is it possible that they are Han Mo's corpses?" β
Zhao Xieyang shook his head: "Han Mo was hit by the government when he did evil for the last time in the second year of Zhenguan, and he was slashed in the back when he fled for his life, but there was no scar on the back of these two corpses. β
Lin Feng nodded: "What about the other people in the inn?" β
Zhao Xieyang said: "I haven't had time to check everyone yet...... However, Xia Guan is arranging for his subordinates to check their backs one by one, and the results should be available in a while. β
Lin Feng bowed slightly, and prompted: "The five people who came with this official don't need to be checked, they all have a high status, and this official can ensure that they will not be Han Mo." β
Zhao Xieyang nodded hurriedly, joke, the identity of the person who was walking with Lin Feng was definitely not ordinary, it was too late for him to offer, how could he dare to take off other people's clothes for inspection.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and continued, "You said that the official went to look for you before dawn...... So how did he receive the anonymous letter? It's not dawn yet, so even if you send a letter, you can't send it to the yamen, right? β
Zhao Xieyang nodded again and again: "That's right, the letter can't be sent into the yamen...... It was caught in the crack of the door of the yamen, and the officials returned to the yamen on patrol at night and found the letter inserted in the crack of the door. β
"Caught in the crack of the door?"
Lin Feng's eyes looked at the whip stained with the blood of an unknown number of people, and his brain spun rapidly.
It's just anonymity, and even the way to send the letter is so hidden, for fear that someone will find out his identity......
"What about anonymous letters?" Lin Feng said.
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the envelope, looked up, and saw that the envelope was the most common white paper envelope, with no pattern on it, no handwriting, and a completely blank piece.
The surface of the envelope showed signs of the wax oil being torn apart, indicating that the person who wrote the letter did not hurry to seal it with wax oil after writing the anonymous letter...... And the wax oil is very flat, the edges of the square are very neat, and the wax oil has been clearly and carefully handled...... What does this mean?
Lin Feng gently rubbed the envelope with his fingertips, and slowly said to himself: "This is not a letter to an acquaintance, and there is no information about the person who wrote the letter on it, the person who wrote the letter clearly does not want anyone to find him through the letter, so why bother to handle the wax and oil so neatly and perfectly?" What's the difference between this and flattering a blind man? The officials would not praise the person who wrote the letter because of the good dripping of wax and oil, and they didn't know who to praise. β
And when ordinary people write letters, they often just drop wax oil and glue the envelope together, and they don't have to handle the wax oil so neatly...... So, why would the person who wrote the letter make the wax so neat when there is not much time for an anonymous report letter? β
Lin Feng looked at the wax oil, and after muttering for a while, he had a guess in his heart.
He is best at peeking into the whole picture from the details, and the details are often a reflection of a person's personality traits.
"It should be instinctive ......"
There is no need or reason for the writer to take care of the wax, so there is only one reason for the writer to do itβinstinct, or habit.
And what kind of person would be so perfect and exquisite?
"Either it's obsessive-compulsive disorder like Wei Zheng."
"Or...... It is a person who is extremely strict with details, may be born in a family with strict family style, or may be born in a scholarly family with a rich family background, such a person is more likely to turn strictness into habit and instinct due to family education factors. β
Lin Feng guessed as he took out the letter from it.
When I opened the letter, I saw that there was only a very simple sentence in it.
"Han Mo is hiding in the Blessed Inn, go quickly."
There was no payment, no extra ink, not even one more ink spot.
It is enough to see the cleanliness of the person who wrote the letter.
However, the difference is from the cleanliness of the content, this word ...... It's a bit sloppy.
It's not cursive, it's really bad.
It gives people the feeling that it is like writing according to the cat and the tiger, the horizontal and vertical skimming on each word, the size of the pen is different, if it is said that it is imitated and written by children when they first learn words, Lin Feng can believe it.
However, this is obviously not written by a child, because the handwriting is through the back of the paper, and children do not have this power.
"This is by no means the handwriting of the person who wrote the letter......"
Combined with the perfect wax oil and clean content, Lin Feng speculated: "In order to hide his identity and hide his handwriting, the person who wrote the letter found a person who couldn't write and asked him to imitate the writing?" β
"As it should be...... Otherwise, even if it is a child who learns to write for a period of time, it will not be different in the horizontal and vertical skimming of each word, and only beginners who can't write at all, when imitating, will not be able to control their hands well, and do not form their own writing style......"
Lin Feng put the letter on the table and slowly exhaled: "It's really mysterious, find a person who can't write to write the content of this letter, now, no one can recognize whose handwriting is from someone, it seems impossible to rely on this letter to find the person who wrote the letter." β
In order to hide himself, so scheming...... A vulgar Jiangyang thief, worthy of such intentions?
This is clearly to deal with people who are good at tracking clues......
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, even if Han Mo's matter had not yet been determined, he could basically be sure that the person who wrote the letter was targeting him, which was obviously aware of his own ability, and he was worried that he would track down the other party according to the letter, so he was so scheming.
In this way......
"Are these two corpses really related to me?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Brido said that they were disfigured, and the murderer deliberately hid their identities, could it be that these two people know me?" β
Also, what is the relationship between the person who wrote the letter and the murderer? Did the person who wrote the letter send an anonymous report letter to the yamen to help me or expose me? β
The thoughts in Lin Feng's heart turned straight ahead, and countless thoughts kept surging in his mind.
originally thought it was a simple homicide case, but at this moment, Lin Feng felt as if his eyes were covered by endless obstacles, which made this homicide case confusing at this moment because of the identity of the person who wrote the letter and the deceased.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed these complicated thoughts, for the sake of today, only by finding out the identity of the deceased as soon as possible and solving the case as soon as possible can he understand the truth behind all this.
He looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "Have the results of the deceased's autopsy been released?" β
Zhao Xieyang shook his head: "Not yet, but it should be soon......"
"No waiting."
Lin Feng got up directly and said, "Take this official to see the corpse." β
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly followed and said, "The corpse is still in the inn, and we haven't taken it away yet." β
Lin Feng nodded, and said as he walked: "A few people who are traveling with this official, you bring that burly strong man and a slightly older scholar out to me, and that woman, find a safe place with a good environment for her to rest." β
Zhao Xieyang nodded hurriedly and said, "What about the other one?" β
"He ......" Lin Feng didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Miao now, and said, "Just let him rest in prison, remember...... Don't hurt anyone in the caravan again. β
Zhao Xieyang nodded again and again: "Lin Si is relieved, and the lower officials understand." β
Soon, Zhao Fifteen and Sun Fujia were also taken out of the prison and met with Lin Feng outside the prison.
After they saw Lin Feng, they carefully looked Lin Feng up and down to make sure that Lin Feng had not been harmed, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
"Zide, what's going on? How did we get out? Sun Fujia asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said directly: "I blew up my identity......"
Then, he told Sun Fujia and Zhao Fifteen in detail why he blew up his identity and his speculation about this case.
After hearing this, both of them couldn't help but show surprise and stunned on their faces.
"This case has something to do with us?" Zhao Fifteen almost exclaimed.
Sun Fujia also looked surprised: "Zide, are you really sure?" β
"Talk as you go."
Several people got on the horse, and while riding a horse, Lin Feng said: "Sixty percent probability, after all, I haven't gotten more accurate and intuitive clues yet, but the probability has exceeded fifty percent, so we must find out, otherwise we will be stuck in the game and unable to extricate ourselves, and I am afraid that there will be a greater crisis in the future." β
Sun Fujia understands how complicated the situation is now, the three forces have begun to show their fangs, Lin Feng is now equivalent to the meeting point of all forces, and he really needs to investigate clearly, otherwise once he is secretly used as a pawn by any force without knowing it, there will definitely be a big crisis at that time.
"Could the person who wrote the letter have anything to do with the Four Elephants? Could it be that the people of the Four Elephants Organization found out about us and deliberately killed people to write letters, trying to trap us in Shenshan County? Sun Fujia couldn't help but ask Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head: "Doing this is tantamount to startling the snake, letting me know that I have been discovered by the Four Elephants Organization, in case I come to a golden cicada shell dog jumps off the wall and escapes alone, wouldn't it be like a fish into the sea and never be found again?" β
"Compared to that, it is safer to secretly track, recall all the scattered manpower, and then ambush on the road."
Sun Fujia nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay...... At least it proves that the Four Elephants Organization doesn't know that we're hiding here for the time being......"
Lin Feng bowed slightly: "They want to make sure that there are more people in the caravan in the Western Regions, and they still need to compare it with the inn in Lucheng County, it will take some time, and before dark, it shouldn't be a big problem......
While speaking, everyone had already arrived at the Blessed Inn.
Looking at the lively inn yesterday, it was already empty today, only the officials came in and out, Lin Fengrao was used to seeing such a scene, and he still had a feeling of "disaster and tomorrow I don't know who will come first".
He took a deep breath, without any delay, and walked directly into the inn.
"Lin Sizheng, please ...... here"
Zhao Xieyang led the way in front and said: "In order not to destroy the scene and facilitate the investigation of the case, the body is still in the room where the crime occurred." β
Several people passed through the back door and entered the courtyard of the inn, and before they reached the room with goods in the corner, they saw a middle-aged man walking out quickly.
"County Lieutenant Zhao."
The middle-aged man hurriedly saluted Zhao Xieyang.
Zhao Xieyang glanced at Lin Feng and signaled that Lin Feng was the autopsy, Lin Feng nodded slightly, Zhao Xieyang knew that Lin Feng wanted to hide his identity, so he coughed and said, "The autopsy is over?" β
He nodded again and again: "It's over." β
"How?" Zhao Xieyang asked.
He hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xieyang.
Zhao Xieyang took the paper, glanced at it, and said at the same time: "You pick the important ones and talk about them." β
He couldn't directly hand over the autopsy results to Lin Feng for review, so he could only let him make an introduction.
He didn't think much about it, and said directly: "The two deceased were both male, and they were both between the ages of thirty-five and forty. β
"Their faces were burned by the flames, and they had reached the point of complete disfigurement, and their appearance could not be recognized, and the villain examined their mouths and noses, and there was no soot in their mouths and noses, and it was judged that they were burned by flames after death, not before they died."
"They were all dressed in undershirts, their coats and shoes were gone, one of them had a broken neck bone, which should have been directly twisted by someone, and there were no obvious signs of fighting, while the other had signs of fighting, and there were frayed and bleeding wounds on his arms, and the fatal wound was a knife wound that penetrated the heart."
Listening to the words, Lin Feng quickly realized the cause of death of the two.
The neck was twisted, and there were no traces of a struggle on the body, indicating that it was caused by the murderer's sudden outburst at close range, either the murderer was familiar with them, or the murderer sneaked up from behind, and this person was solved without any defense.
The other person found out that the first person had an accident, so he started a fight with the murderer, but in the end he did not hit the murderer, and was stabbed in the heart by the murderer.
"It seems that this murderer's martial arts skills are not low......"
It is absolutely impossible to be able to twist the neck of the deceased with his bare hands, without enough strength, without knowing how to exert force, and without knowing where the bones are connected.
Lin Feng thought in his heart: "The murderer and the deceased started a fight, the inn was full of people last night, if the fight happened in the inn, it is impossible that no one will know...... In other words, the scene of the first crime was not in the inn...... The murderer killed someone outside the inn and transported it inside the inn. β
"That's where the problem comes in...... The door of the inn was closed at night, how did he bring the corpse in? β
"And...... Brido is very important to the goods, and last night he also arranged for someone to guard outside, how did the murderer avoid the guards and hide the body in the box? Where did the goods in the box go, which were taken very seriously by Brido? β
Lin Feng found that the more he learned about this case, the more unsolved mysteries he had.
But this is not a bad thing, I am afraid that there is no problem when investigating the case, the problem is clear, and the solution to the problem is found.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Are there any unique characteristics of the deceased?" This may help us determine the identity of the deceased. β
When he heard Lin Feng's words, he subconsciously raised his head to look at Lin Feng, and after seeing the Taoist robe on Lin Feng's body, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand why Zhao Xieyang would bring a Taoist priest to the scene of this crime, did he want to let the Taoist priest do it?
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xieyang.
Zhao Xieyang hurriedly said: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't say it yet! β
Lin Si is asking in person, you still dare to look at my eyes, if Lin Si is angry with me because of this, wouldn't I be miserable by you.
Seeing that Zhao Xieyang's tone was not good, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said: "They really have unique characteristics. β
"What?" Lin Feng asked.
"In the hearts of the two of them, there is a scar, and the location and size of the scar are exactly the same...... According to the villain's judgment, the scar should have appeared a few months ago, but this scar of the same size and position, the villain couldn't figure out how the scar came about. β
As he spoke, he frowned and said, "Could it be that they encountered the same accident?" But this accident is too different, the scar is burned, and there is no trace of fire elsewhere, and the villain always feels that this seems to be their deliberate......"
He was still frowning and puzzled, but he didn't notice that when he said the first sentence, Sun Fujia's face had already changed greatly, his eyes widened instantly, and he raised his head to look at Lin Feng suddenly.
And Lin Feng's pupils also twitched violently, and the same look of surprise and consternation appeared on his face as Sun Fujia.
Scar...... The same scar that appeared a few months ago......
These keywords appeared at the same time, making Lin Feng want to say that it was a coincidence, but he couldn't deceive himself.
After all, there are some people who, because of him, have to destroy the patterns on their bodies.
When they destroy the pattern, they will be left with the same scars!
And these people ...... It was the members of the Four Elephants Organization who destroyed the Four Elephants patterns such as the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird on their bodies.
So......
These two corpses, especially members of the Four Elephants Organization!?
