Zhao Xieyang listened to Lin Feng's sudden inquiry, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned: "Lin Sizheng, who are you?" ”

Lin Feng said: "County Lieutenant Zhao doesn't have to think about it, just tell the official whether he has it or not." ”

"This ......"

Zhao Xieyang frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "After the lower official was called up in the morning, he has been busy until now, and he has not had time to go back to the county office, so whether anyone has not come to the county office, the lower official needs to confirm it." ”

Lin Feng bowed his head slightly and said, "There is a county lieutenant of Lao Zhao." ”

Zhao Xieyang hurriedly shook his head: "This is what the lower official should do, and the lower official will confirm it." ”

After speaking, Zhao Xieyang hurriedly turned around and left.

Looking at Zhao Xieyang's back, Sun Fujia said: "He doesn't look as unbearable as we think. ”

Lin Feng said slowly: "Torture and interrogation is a common method used by the local yamen, he is not a special case, if you want to change this, it will take more time and the decree to slowly promote it...... So you can't simply judge whether he is good or bad because of this, but he is quick to react and think smartly, and he is indeed better than ordinary county lieutenants. ”

Sun Fujia nodded: "That's good, what we can use now is him, he is more agile, it's not a bad thing." ”

Lin Feng smiled and agreed.

He withdrew his gaze and examined the deceased's body again to make sure nothing was missing, and looked away from the deceased's corpse.

Lin Feng raised his head again and looked at the room in front of him.

"Sun Lang Zhong ......"

Lin Feng said to Sun Fujia: "You said, Brido arranged guards in front of the door to guard these goods last night, how did the murderer avoid the guards and transport two corpses in?" ”

"And the original goods in the box ......"

Lin Feng came to the box, looked at the two empty boxes, and said, "Where have you gone again?" ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, his face was also full of puzzlement, and he looked around the room: "It's really strange, whether it's transporting the corpse in or taking the goods out, it's not an easy task, not to mention that there are always people guarding the door......"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Fifteen and said, "Fifteen, you climb on the beam and see if the dust on the beam has been damaged." ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he didn't say a word, ran forward and jumped, stretched his arms up, and easily grabbed the beam of the roof, and then he pushed hard, and quickly climbed to the beam.

Standing on the beams of the room, carefully examining it for a moment with the help of the light, Zhao Fifteen shook his head at Lin Feng and Sun Fujia, and said, "There is nothing abnormal, and there are no traces on the dust." ”

Sun Fujia thought for a while and said, "Fifteen, you climb to the roof from the outside to see if the tiles have been turned over." ”

When Zhao Wufu heard this, he jumped down numbly, and then ran outside to bring a ladder and climbed up.

Not long after, Zhao Fifteen's voice came from the roof: "There is no trace of being turned, every tile is tightly sealed, and the moss on it does not look like it has been stepped on, no one should have come to the roof." ”

Listening to Zhao Fifteen's words, Sun Fujia's brows couldn't help frowning, he looked at Lin Feng, and said, "It's certain that he must not have come in from the roof, but there are people outside the door, and the windows have not been destroyed, so where else did the murderer come in?" ”

"Is it ......?"

He guessed, "Is there a secret passage in this room?" ”

Lin Feng touched his chin and said, "Just check it out." ”

The trio quickly separated, banging and bumping on the walls and floor of the room.

This room was originally unfurnished, which saved Lin Feng and them a lot of effort, they only needed to find out if there were any mechanisms on the floor and walls.

But the three of them checked it carefully, and they didn't find anything.

Sun Fujia's face became more and more puzzled: "Is it because we didn't find the mechanism, or did we not have the mechanism?" ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "The wall is a whole, there are no traces of cracks or the like, there should be no hidden secret doors...... If there is a secret door on the floor, when the secret door is opened, it will also leave a very obvious crack on the dust, but there is no such crack......

"That is." He looked at Sun Fujia and Zhao Fifteen and said, "There should be no mechanism here." ”

Sun Fujia's heart sank: "How can this be...... It didn't come in from the rooftop, and it didn't come in through the secret passage of the machine, so how did the murderer move two dead bodies in, and still be able to move two boxes of goods? ”

Sun Fujia couldn't figure it out at all, not to mention Zhao Fifteen, the complexity of this case had long exceeded the limit of his brain's thinking.

Lin Feng stood in front of the two empty boxes, looking around the walls and floors of the room and these boxes inch by inch, his brain spinning rapidly.

"Roof exclusion...... Exclusion ...... The windows are intact and can also be excluded...... There are people guarding the door......"

"So, how did the murderer get in? What other way, we didn't think of it......"

Lin Feng looked at the corpse on the ground, looked at the obvious blood in the empty box, and suddenly, Lin Feng's pupils jumped suddenly.

"That's not right!"

He was about to speak, when footsteps approached quickly outside the door.

Then I saw Zhao Xieyang come to the room quickly, and said to Lin Feng: "Lin Sizheng, the lower officials have confirmed, there are a total of three people in the yamen who did not come to the office, one of them is the chief bookkeeper, and he is on normal this morning, and two are the yamen, they took leave yesterday morning due to illness, and they did not come to the yamen to be on duty today." ”

Listening to Zhao Xieyang's words, Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng abruptly, and Lin Feng's eyes instantly narrowed, and said, "The two officials took leave yesterday morning due to illness?" ”

His brain was racing again, and he took leave yesterday morning, and the time when he really began to disappear from the sight of the yamen was the night before yesterday......

And the night before yesterday, it was the moment when he used the six carriages to completely let himself disappear from the sight of the four elephant thieves who were chasing him, and at that time he speculated that the four elephant organizations would arrange for the shadows in each city to investigate his traces, so when he arrived in Lucheng County the night before, he specially asked Zhao Fifteen and Chen Miao to separate from him, in order to avoid the characteristics of five people living in the same inn at the same time and being discovered by the shadows of the Four Elephants organization.

The time when the two officials left the yamen and resumed their free movement coincided with the time of the previous night.

In addition, there are exactly two people, corresponding to the number of corpses, and they are also government officials, wearing official boots, knowing martial arts, and using horizontal knives as weapons, which is convenient for collecting all kinds of information in the yamen...... All of this almost perfectly verified Lin Feng's speculation!

"That's right, both of them reported at the same time yesterday morning, saying that they were infected with wind chills." Zhao Xieyang nodded and said, "It just so happens that the yamen hasn't had any major events recently, and they haven't been very busy, so let them have a good rest." ”

Lin Feng rubbed his fingers lightly and said in a deep voice, "What is the relationship between the two of them?" ”

Zhao Xieyang said: "Generally, when we meet, I nod my head and say hello, and I rarely speak." ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "The relationship is so ordinary? Are you officials of the yamen so unfamiliar with each other? ”

Zhao Xieyang shook his head: "Not really, everyone often performs tasks together, and they don't see each other when they look up, and the relationship is actually okay, but the two of them had a conflict before, so the relationship is not too harmonious." ”

"Everyone else can have a relationship, but the two of them have a bad relationship...... Lin Feng listened to Zhao Xieyang's words, and said with a smile: "If there is a problem with one of them, then the other person probably can't suspect it, right?" ”

Zhao Xieyang was stunned: "What does Lin Sizheng mean?" ”

Lin Feng's words were really a bit yin and yang, Rao is Zhao Xieyang didn't know what was going on, and he also realized that Lin Feng was a little unkind to these two officials.

Sun Fujia nodded at this time and said, "There is a deliberate sense of deliberately keeping a distance, more like them." ”

Zhao Xieyang was a little shrewd, and Lin Feng's words were not leaky, so that he couldn't understand anything for a while, but Sun Fujia's words instantly shocked him in his heart, his eyes widened violently, and he hurriedly said: "Lin Si is ...... Do you doubt that these two corpses are ...... Are my two brothers? ”

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang, who had a look of disbelief on his face, and said, "Are those two officials who took leave due to illness similar to the height and size of these two corpses?" ”

"This ......"

Zhao Xieyang took a closer look at the two disfigured corpses, and then nodded: "It's really similar." ”

Lin Feng exhaled slowly, took one last look at the room, and then went directly to the outside, and said, "Let's go, go to the residence of those two people, see if they are still there, and you can know if the deceased is them." ”

…………

A quarter of an hour later.

In front of a courtyard.

The crowd stopped their horses.

Zhao Xieyang looked at the courtyard in front of him and said, "This is Qin Fen's home." ”

Qin Fen is one of the two officials, his body is thin and tall, and the strength in his hands is amazing, which is in line with the corpse of the two deceased, whose neck was broken.

Lin Feng looked at the courtyard in front of him, only to see that the courtyard area was not large, the door painted with vermilion paint was closed at the moment, and the white walls were covered with dust.

At this moment, there was a very blinking-clean spot on the right wall not far from the door.

The rest of the walls were covered in dust, but this part was so clean that it was as if someone had swept it off.

But if a normal person dusts it, the entire wall will inevitably be cleaned, and it is impossible to deal with only a small piece......

Lin Feng's eyes were slightly dark, he directly turned over and dismounted, and said, "Call the door." ”

Zhao Xieyang hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.

This made Zhao Xieyang's face more and more worried.

Seeing this, Lin Feng simply said, "Break the door!" ”

Zhao Shifu had been waiting for Lin Feng's words for a long time, and when he heard the words at this moment, he directly slammed sideways towards the door.

His body was burly, like a small mountain, and at this moment he was running and borrowing strength, as if a wild bull was rushing, only to hear a bang, and the door, which was not very strong, was suddenly knocked open.

The latch that locks the door breaks in response.

Zhao fifteen pushed the door with both hands and grinned: "Father-in-law, you can enter." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Hard work." ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng entered with everyone.

Through the door, you will have an unobstructed view of the courtyard.

I saw that this was a courtyard similar to a courtyard house, surrounded by houses, and belonged to a standard one-in-out courtyard.

There is an old tree in the yard that is thick and thick around two people, and next to the tree is a well, and some cleaning brooms and other tools are placed not far away.

The floor is paved with stone bricks, and it is very smooth.

The doors of the left and right wings were closed at the moment, but the main hall, which was facing the door, was now open.

As soon as Zhao Xieyang entered, he shouted, "Qin Fen, are you there?" Is anyone there? ”

Still no one answered.

Lin Feng said: "Go to the next room to see if there is anyone." ”

The crowd quickly separated and inspected all the rooms one by one.

Lin Feng was not idle, and entered the main hall with the open door.

The main hall is a place used to entertain guests, and generally some people with status will divide the main hall into a side hall to entertain guests of different statuses.

The main hall in front of me is not very distinctively decorated, the room is spacious, under the wall facing the main door, there is a small table and stool, which is the main seat of the host, and on both sides against the wall and the window, there are three tables and stools each, which are the seats of the guests.

At this time, there is a kettle and a water cup on the master's table, and there is also a water cup on the first table on the left.

Lin Feng came to the two tables and first glanced at the water cup on the guest table, and saw that there was half a glass of water in the water cup.

He looked again at the cup on the main table, which was full of water.

Sun Fujia followed Lin Feng's side, saw this scene, and said, "There is a guest visiting...... There should have been two people in this room at the time. ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, his gaze swept over the main hall inch by inch, from the walls, to the floor, and finally to the tables and stools, every inch of the position was very carefully, not letting go of any details.

At this time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered something.

However, before he could speak, Zhao Xieyang and the others had already returned.

"Nope."

Zhao 15 said: "We have checked all the rooms, but we have not found half a figure. ”

Zhao Xieyang frowned: "The door is locked with a latch from the inside, not locked with a lock from the outside at all...... How could there be no one? Don't...... Those two corpses, are they really Qin Fen? ”

"County Lieutenant Zhao, doesn't this Qin Fen have any family?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

Zhao Xieyang hurriedly said: "Qin Fen's parents died early, but he has a wife and children, I heard him say a few days ago that his wife and children have returned to their parents' house, so he should be the only one in the family at present." ”

Lin Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "What about the other person?" ”

"The other has both parents alive and lives with him."

"The parents are alive...... Only Qin Fen's family has no one else ......" Lin Feng's eyes flickered, looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "County Lieutenant Zhao sent someone to another person's house to inquire about the news, and ask if the other person is there, if not, when did he leave, and where he went." ”

Zhao Xieyang was concerned about the safety of his subordinates, and when he heard the words at this moment, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to inquire.

After his servants left, Zhao Xieyang finally couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and he said: "Lin Sizheng, Qin Fen is not in his own home, but his home is in a locked state...... Does this really mean? ”

Sun Fujia, Zhao Fifteen and the others also looked at Lin Feng with solemn faces.

Lin Feng didn't answer Zhao Xieyang in a hurry, but pondered in his heart for a moment before raising his finger and saying, "Guys, please look at this table." ”

"Table?"

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously followed Lin Feng's fingers to look.

I saw that Lin Feng was referring to the outermost table on the left side against the wall.

"What's wrong with the table?" Zhao Xieyang asked a little puzzled.

Lin Feng reminded: "County Lieutenant Zhao took a closer look at this table to see if there was anything wrong with this table. ”

"Something is wrong?"

Zhao Xieyang subconsciously came to the table, looked up, he looked puzzled at first, but suddenly, I didn't know what I found, and his eyes suddenly widened: "This ...... This table is missing a corner! ”

"What? Missing a corner? ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he also hurriedly stepped forward to look, and when he saw that the upper left corner of the table next to the wall was empty, he hurriedly said: "It is indeed less, and this corner is missing......

He moved the table away, and was able to clearly see the missing corner, and he said, "Father, this corner seems to have been cut by a sharp blade, and the cut is very flat. ”

Sun Fujia also came to the table, looked at the incision, and said, "And the wood of the incision is very bright, it is obvious that it has just been cut, otherwise it will not be so bright." ”

Lin Feng listened to the words of the three of them, smiled, and said, "You guys go to see the table legs again...... That's right, it's the lack of legs in the corners. ”

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked down.

Then...... Their pupils shrank suddenly.

"This ......"

"Bloodstains! There is blood on the table legs! ”

"How can there be blood!?"

Zhao Fifteen and Zhao Xieyang both subconsciously exclaimed.

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng busily: "Zide, is this the ...... The real crime scene!? ”

"What? The scene of the crime? When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he looked at Lin Feng fiercely.

Lin Feng met everyone's eyes of surprise, surprise, or disbelief, and did not rush to answer their questions, but said, "Wait first." ”

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Zhao Xieyang asked.

Lin Feng said: "Wait for the news of another officer." ”

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he wanted to anxiously say that it would not be too late for Lin Feng to say it first, but it could be seen that Lin Feng had made up his mind to wait for news from another person, and he didn't dare to say much, so he had to pace back and forth anxiously, looking out constantly.

After another quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside.

Then I saw a servant running in quickly.

When Zhao Xieyang saw this servant, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How is it?" Is Zhang Heng at home? ”

This official didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "The little one asked his family, and they said that Zhang Heng left yesterday morning, and Zhang Heng was called away by Qin Fen, but it is not clear where he went, and he has not gone back until now, and they have also sent people to the places where Zhang Heng often goes, but they have also not found Zhang Heng's whereabouts." ”

Hearing the words of the servant, Zhao Xieyang's heart sank completely.

If a person is missing, he can still be lucky.

But the two of them disappeared at the same time, and they left together, and their body shape was completely consistent with the situation of the corpse, plus the inference given by Lin Feng before...... Even if Zhao Xieyang doesn't want to admit it, he must admit it...... These two people are probably the two corpses.

They...... Really killed!

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, you should talk about it now...... Is this really the place where they were killed? ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng didn't delay any longer this time, he said directly: "When you were outside the door just now, I don't know if you paid attention to the wall, in the middle of the wall outside, there is a very clean place. ”

"If you clean normally, you will sweep the whole wall, but the outside wall is the only one that is cleaned, obviously, it's weird...... Moreover, the walls next to the road are often very dusty, and even if they are cleaned, within a few days, another layer of dust will inevitably fall on the walls. ”

"But that clean place, without any dust, is obvious...... It must have been cleaned up in the near future. ”

"And why clean it up there? There must be a reason why it must be cleaned, such as ......"

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "Clean up the footprints on the wall." ”

"Footprints!?" Zhao Xieyang's pupils jumped violently.

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "Among the two corpses, the neck of one of the corpses was twisted off, and the corpse with the neck twisted off did not have any traces of fighting, indicating that he was either twisted off his neck by someone who had no doubt about it, or he was suddenly attacked from behind and broke his neck." ”

"Combined with the two cups in the main hall, we can know that before Qin Fen's disappearance, there should have been only one guest, that is to say, there were only two people in Qin Fen's mansion that night...... And your people also said that Zhang Heng was called away by Qin Fen, so the person in Qin Fen's mansion, if nothing else, should be Zhang Heng. ”

"But Zhang Heng was also killed at the same time, so Qin Fen couldn't have been killed by Zhang Heng...... That also means that Qin Fen's neck can only be broken by a sneak attack by a third person who shouldn't exist! ”

"Then if this third person wants to sneak attack Qin Fen, when he enters Qin Fen's mansion, he will not enter by knocking on the door, so how can he enter?"

Zhao Wufu suddenly remembered what he had done when he arrested Zhuo Fan in Linshui County, and he hurriedly said: "Jump in over the wall!" ”

"Over the wall!? This ......" Zhao Xieyang was shocked.

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right, there is only one way to enter the mansion when the gate is locked, and you can sneak in without alarming the owner...... And the wall of this courtyard is very high, it is impossible to jump into it directly, and it must be done with the help of the wall. ”

"And the walls are covered with dust, and if you step on it, you will inevitably leave footprints...... Therefore, if the murderer wants not to leave his own clues, he must remove the footprints, and the dust is so obvious, while removing the footprints, it will inevitably leave such a clean area. ”

"Then add to that another body that had been pierced with a knife, and the table where a corner had been cut off, and the blood stains on the legs...... I think it's obvious whether this is the scene of the crime or not. ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Xieyang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his eyes were full of shock.

He never imagined that only a clean area on the wall, only two water glasses, only a table corner, only a drop of blood, and only the cause of death of two corpses...... Lin Feng could easily connect them, and at such a fast speed, with a complete chain of evidence, he judged that this was the scene of the crime!

This...... Is it the ability of the legendary detective?

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The name of the detective is really worthy of the name!
