After Sun Fujia finished speaking, he left quickly.

Lin Feng stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the busy people in the courtyard, at this time he no longer concealed his identity, nor did he prevent Zhao Xieyang from calling himself Lin Sizheng, so the officials more or less knew their identity, and they all secretly looked at themselves from time to time, the legendary character who was dressed strangely.

I didn't expect that one day I would become a so-called star...... Lin Feng smiled, indifferent to the scrutiny of the officials, and at the same time looked at Zhao Shifu climbing up and down to investigate, constantly thinking about the clues he had obtained so far, as well as the speculation that had been hovering in his mind for a long time.

Which side of the force the real murderer belonged to, in fact, Lin Feng had already speculated, but this speculation had some conflicts and contradictions with the actual situation, which caused Lin Feng to not dare to be easily sure even if he knew who had the problem.

So, he needs more clues, more evidence.

"After killing someone, the real murderer did not leave in a hurry, but cleaned the scene very carefully and rearranged the tables and stools...... This means that his psychological quality is very strong, and his purpose is very clear, it should not be the first time to do this kind of thing, and he is sure that he will never be discovered, so he can do this so calmly and calmly...... This also means that he should have some knowledge of the nearby residents, and even the routes of the patrol officials, so as to ensure that even if he makes a noise when committing a crime, it will not be detected by his neighbors and officials......

Lin Feng touched his chin and analyzed the internal logic and reasons for this series of actions after the murderer killed people from the perspective of psychology and behavior.

In addition, in order to hide the identity of the deceased, he also disfigured the deceased, and this kind of thing, he would not choose an inn with many people to do...... There will be patrols on the road, and it is inevitable that some people will travel in the middle of the night because of urgent matters, so it is impossible to go on the road. ”

"So ......"

Lin Feng looked at the courtyard again, and slowly said to himself: "He can only disfigure the deceased here." ”

"Disfigurement with fire, he should use brazier torches and other things, the room is too choking, there is a lot of smoke, and he has to work hard to clean it afterwards, there are too many shortcomings...... That's why he chooses to do it outdoors in the yard. ”

Lin Feng walked towards the courtyard, looking around as he walked, putting himself in the identity of the murderer to deduce what happened at night.

"Because it's not about burning the whole body, it's just about destroying its face, so you don't need too much combustibles, a few torches, and a charcoal basin are enough...... These things are very common, and the murderer probably doesn't think there is anything wrong with these things appearing in the yard, so they shouldn't be treated specially. ”

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

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "The disfigurement tool should still be in the courtyard......"

He quickly looked at the corners of the courtyard, where it was normal to pile up some debris, and ordinary people would not pay attention to them at all......

"Found it!"

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw him walk quickly to the southeast corner of the courtyard, looking at the things piled up in the corner, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

In front of him, there was a charcoal basin, and there were some burned ashes in the basin at the moment, and next to the charcoal basin, there were more than a dozen pieces of wood.

He squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and flicked the ashes in the charcoal basin, and suddenly, Lin Feng found something from the pile of ashes.

He pinched his fingers and squeezed it, then narrowed his eyes.

In his hand, there was a small piece of burned fragment of clothes, the fragment was not large, only the size of a thumb cover, but its color and pattern were very obvious...... This is clearly the uniform clothing worn by the county government officials.

Lin Feng exhaled slowly: "The clothes of the two deceased disappeared seem to have been burned by the murderer here, which can also completely verify my guess, this is the scene of the first crime, and it is also the scene of disfigurement." ”

"But ......"

Lin Feng got up, took a closer look around, and shook his head: "The murderer did this very cleanly, leaving no trace of himself......

Although he didn't get more clues about the murderer, Lin Feng was not depressed, the investigation was like this, and the effort used and the clues obtained were often not proportional.

After all, the murderer will not deliberately leave you clues, all the clues are left by the murderer, or accidentally left in a panic, so the complexity and simplicity of the case are often related to whether the murderer is calm and composed, whether he has enough planning and experience.

The murderer in front of him can undoubtedly be a murderer who is ninety percent of the tulle.

"Zide!"

At this time, a surprised voice suddenly came from a distance.

When Lin Feng heard this familiar voice, his heart moved, and he quickly turned around to look, and saw Sun Fujia standing next to a tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard, waving his hand to him: "Zide, come and see, there are some traces here." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he instantly realized something, and he hurriedly walked towards Sun Fujia.

Soon, he came to Sun Fujia's side, and without Lin Feng opening his mouth, Sun Fujia pointed directly to a small wooden house in front of him, and said, "This is the only thatched house in Qin Fen's mansion. ”

"There's nothing special in the hut, but you can ...... outside the hut"

While speaking, Sun Fujia took Lin Feng to the outer wall next to the door of the thatched house, and said, "Look, there is a trace of dust on the outer wall that has been rubbed off, and there is a ...... on the ground."

He pointed to the ground again and said, "There are some footprints, the size of these footprints is different from Qin Fen and Zhang Heng, they are bigger and wider than theirs, and Qin Fen's family is not bigger than Qin Fen's feet, so ......"

Sun Fujia's eyes were very bright, he looked at Lin Feng with joy, and said: "Zide, you are really right, the real murderer is because it is Qin Fen who attacked by surprise, and Qin Fen did not have any struggle because he killed people in one move, plus it was dark and the light was unknown, so he ignored the traces left by his sneak attack on Qin Fen!" ”

"We've really found a clue to the real murderer!"

Listening to Sun Fujia's excited voice, looking at the blurred marks on the wooden wall next to the door, and a few footprints below, Lin Feng also laughed: "It seems that this should be the traces left by the real murderer......

Lin Feng raised his finger, touched the wooden wall, and said, "The dust on the wooden wall is very thick, but there are not many parts that have been rubbed off, it is obvious that the real culprit should just be standing against the wall to avoid being discovered by Qin Fen, so he just rubbed off some of it, instead of the dust being treated cleanly like the wall outside the courtyard." ”

"Most of the yard floor is paved with stones, and only the small area of the latrine has left open space for flowers or vegetables, and the soil around the latrine is soft, which leaves footprints on the real culprit."

He looked at the footprints, pondered for a moment, and said: "According to the footprints, it can be judged that the real murderer should have been sticking to the wall of the toilet to avoid Qin Fen's sight...... And there is no messy footprint here, nor any trace of indiscriminate trampling, it can be determined that the deceased did not have any struggle, and the murderer was successful. ”

"After that, the murderer's footprints when he left the thatched house were obviously deeper than the footprints when he was dodging, indicating that after the murderer killed Qin Fen, he also took him out of the thatched house."

Lin Feng's gaze followed the footprints all the way, and with the appearance of the stone pavement, all the footprints disappeared in an instant.

Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, nodded heavily, and said, "This must be the case." ”

Lin Feng smiled, he turned his head to look at the location where the murderer jumped into the courtyard, and said: "Whether the real murderer's target is directly hiding in the latrine, or going to the main hall to eavesdrop and peek, from the position where he climbed over the wall to enter, he has to pass through the entire courtyard, but the real murderer will definitely not pass through directly in order to be safe, so he will stick to the wall and act in the shadows......"

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned around directly and walked along the wall towards the location where the real murderer climbed over the wall.

Seeing this, Sun Fujia also hurriedly followed.

Not long after the two of them left, Lin Feng suddenly paused at his feet and said, "This is?" ”

As he spoke, he crouched down and carefully removed something from the sharp point of a broken wooden fence under the wall.

Sun Fujia hurriedly stretched out his head to look.

"This is? Silk thread? ”

Sun Fujia was unexpected.

Seeing that Lin Feng's fingertips were pinching a strand of dark green silk thread, he gently rubbed the silk thread and said, "The quality of the silk thread is good, it is not an ordinary thing." ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, he said, "Zide, let me see." ”

Lin Feng knew that Sun Fujia was an encyclopedia of the Tang Dynasty, and there was nothing that Sun Fujia didn't understand, so he hurriedly handed the silk thread to Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia first rubbed the silk thread with his hand, and then put the silk thread in the sun to examine it carefully, and after a while, Sun Fujia gave an inference: "This should be the best silk thread in the Jiangnan region, and the quality is excellent...... However, silk is mostly a bright hue color, and this dark green is close to black silk, which is rare. ”

"Good silk, it's still a rare kind of ......" Lin Feng groaned for a moment, turned around and instructed the officials: "Carefully search the clothes in the mansion to see if there are any dark green silk clothes. ”

The officials already knew Lin Feng's identity, and when they heard Lin Feng's order at this moment, they dared to hesitate, and hurriedly said yes and went to search.

When Sun Fujia saw this scene, he quickly guessed in his heart, and said, "Zide, are you suspicious?" ”

Lin Feng nodded: "This is the only way for the murderer, so I have to be sure...... Whether this dress is owned by the murderer or not. ”

"If it's ......"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's interesting...... The dark green color can be compared to black at night, which is in line with the real murderer's intention to secretly kill people, but he knows that he is going to kill, but he still wears such precious and rare silk......"

He looked at Sun Fujia and asked with deep meaning, "What does Sun Langzhong think, what does this mean?" ”

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "The murderer is either rich or expensive? I don't care if the clothes are expensive or not! ”

Lin Feng smiled, and just nodded, when he heard Zhao Fifteen's voice suddenly come: "Father-in-law, there are traces here." ”

Hearing Zhao Fifteen's voice, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia subconsciously followed the prestige.

Seeing Zhao Fifteen standing on the roof of the west wing, seeing Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looking at him, Zhao Fifteen said loudly: "Father-in-law, the moss on this roof has traces of being stepped on. ”

"Moss has been stepped on!?"

Sun Fujia's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils suddenly widened at this moment, and he hurriedly looked at Lin Feng: "Could it really be that someone snooped coldly at the time of the crime?" ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, he didn't answer Sun Fujia immediately, but shouted to Zhao Fifteen, "Fifteen, determine the range where the moss is being stepped on." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shifu hurriedly checked the situation on the roof carefully, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Only this area has traces of moss being trampled, and there are no other places." ”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Can you find the roof from where you climbed on?" ”

Zhao Wufu nodded heavily and said, "I have already found ...... just now"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the street beyond the courtyard, and said, "There is a tree on the road behind, and there are traces of trampling on the tree, which must have climbed up from the tree." ”

Listening to Zhao Fifteen's words, Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked at Sun Fujia and said, "People climb to the roof from the big tree, and then the range of motion is fixed there, which means that the person who climbs to the roof has no other action...... If the real murderer uses this place, he must definitely go down to the yard, and it is impossible to stay only on the roof, so the possibility that the real murderer left traces can be ruled out. ”

"And staying still in one place, condescending to ensure the best view, and being there to easily see what's going on in the main hall, all of this is in line with the needs of the prying eyes, so if nothing else......"

Lin Feng exhaled slowly, with a look of certainty on his face, and said, "At the time of the crime, if someone really snooped on it, the person who wrote the letter and the perpetrator were indeed not in the same group. ”

"Sun Langzhong, at this moment, in this small Shenshan County......"

Lin Feng's tone was meaningful, and Sun Fujia's heart was shocked when he heard it: "It really includes us, the Four Elephants Organization, the murderer and the letter writer, do you think it's exciting?" ”

In the past, Sun Fujia was actually more inclined to the fact that the letter writer and the perpetrator were the same force, after all, the actions of the two, one hiding the corpse and the other writing a letter to expose it, no matter how you look at it, they complement each other, but now there is enough evidence to prove that the letter writer and the perpetrator are not the same force.

Since it is not the same force, why did he write a letter to the yamen, why did he want to find out about the matter, is the purpose to help Lin Feng and them, or to harm Lin Feng and them to be completely exposed?

At this moment, Sun Fujia couldn't understand the intention of the letter writer at all.

Strange, incomprehensible, many emotions continue to emerge in my mind as this force is completely determined.

"Lin Sizheng."

At this time, a servant came quickly, he looked at Lin Feng in awe, and saluted: "We searched all the cabinets in the room, and we didn't find any dark green silk clothes. ”

Listening to the officer's words, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth rose again, and he said with a smile: "In this way, the source of this precious dark green silk thread can also be determined." ”

Sun Fujia couldn't hide his excitement: "What a murderer! ”

Lin Feng nodded slowly, his right thumb and index finger rubbed gently, his brain was running rapidly at this moment, and said, "Either rich or expensive...... It seems that the scope of the real culprit can be delineated. ”

Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, and only felt that his heart suddenly accelerated and jumped up at this moment.

Finally have a clear idea!

The scope of the real murderer can finally be preliminarily delineated!

Even if there are no clearer clues in the future, just based on this range, you can investigate them one by one.

After all, in a small county like Shenshan County, there are so many people who are either rich or noble, even if they use the stupidest method, as long as they have enough time, they can be preliminarily screened.

Not to mention, the murderer's destruction of the deceased's appearance can also be a factor in judging the identity of the murderer......

Unconsciously, they actually took such a solid step forward in the investigation of the real murderer!

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, let's start investigating." ”

Lin Feng touched his chin with his fingers, and was about to say something, but suddenly, a rush of footsteps came quickly.

Then I heard the voice of the county lieutenant Zhao Xieyang coming quickly: "Lin Sizheng, there is news from the prison...... They found Han Mo! Han Mo is hidden in the inn, and the case is solved! Han Mo really found it! ”

Listening to Zhao Xieyang's words, Sun Fujia and Lin Feng were stunned.

"What? Han Mo found it? That Jiang Yang thief's Han Mo? Han Mo in the anonymous report letter? Sun Fujia couldn't help but speak.

Lin Feng also stared at Zhao Xieyang tightly.

Zhao Xieyang had already come to the two of them, and he said, "Before we left, the lower official ordered the jailer to check everyone in the inn based on the knife wound on Han Mo's back, and the results were ...... They really found a man with a knife wound in the back, and this person is the shopkeeper of the inn! And in the shopkeeper's room, they found the big knife used in the murder! The size of the big knife is exactly the same as the wound of the deceased, it can be determined that it was Han Mo who did it! ”

"The case is really solved!" Zhao Xieyang said excitedly.

"How could it really be Han Mo...... There's no reason why Han Mo would provoke us to fight against the Four Elephants! Sun Fujia only felt his brain buzzing.

He thought that the real culprit would be the Jinchai family, the merchant forces of the Western Regions, and even other mysterious forces that had never appeared, but he never thought that it would really be the Jiangyang thief in the anonymous letter.

It's not that Jiangyang thieves can't kill people, but the identity and status of Jiangyang thieves can't be compared in front of these forces.

"Zide, this ......" Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.

But seeing Lin Feng's eyes deep, and there was an undercurrent in his dark eyes, he understood what Sun Fujia meant, but he didn't say anything superfluous, just said, "Let's go, go and meet this Han Mo." ”
