Listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Ming took the portrait.

Curious, he opened the portrait and looked up.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia both stared at Du Ming tightly, not letting go of any changes in the micro-expressions on Du Ming's face, as if they wanted to see Du Ming inside and out.

Du Ming, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice Lin Feng and Sun Fujia's expressions, and the first time he looked at the portrait, his brows frowned slightly, and his face could not hide a touch of surprise.

"Rinji Masa ...... This person, what's wrong with him? ”

Du Ming subconsciously rubbed the portrait and slowly spoke.

Looking at Du Ming's reaction, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia immediately glanced at each other, they all knew that Du Ming definitely knew the Jiang He on the portrait.

That touch of surprise cannot be concealed, and only when facing people you know, will you show the color of surprise, otherwise in the face of strangers, you should be confused and confused, not accidental.

Lin Feng said: "This official is investigating a case, after investigation, this person is likely to have some relationship with the case, and it just so happened that this official learned that someone had seen him in Du Mansion, so he came to disturb the Du family master and wanted to understand the situation." ”

Du Ming nodded suddenly: "I see." ”

Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at his past friend and said, "Master Du, I don't know if you can recognize this person?" ”

Du Ming's fingertips gently twisted the image, he was silent for a moment, and then sighed, and said: "That is, Sun Langzhong, you are here, that is, I and Lin Sizheng hit it off at first sight, otherwise if I were someone else, I wouldn't admit anything today." ”

Listening to Du Ming's words, Lin Feng's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "I don't know what the Du family master means?" ”

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and the others, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from the two, this person is a shopkeeper under my Du family, providing financial support for my Du family's daily expenses...... Our Du family has a big business, and the servants and masters add up to hundreds, and the daily expenses are a terrifying amount, so we also need to find a way to open source. ”

"Just ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and then said to the two of them: "It's just that you also know that our big families have always disdained to be in the company of lowly merchants, so even if each family will control some people to make money for them, they don't want to admit it, after all, this is not in line with our identity." ”

"Today is when you are here, I am talking to you about the heart-wrenching, if it were someone else, I would definitely not admit that I had anything to do with him."

Du Ming's words cannot be described as insincere.

Even if Lin Feng was in the Chen family, the head of the Chen family bought him so much, and he didn't tell these unspeakable insiders directly, which can be seen that Du Ming, as Sun Fujia said, is indeed different from the head of an ordinary family.

It's just that...... Du Ming's heart-digging nest, is it a little too sincere.

Not long after they met Du Ming, they didn't say much, and all they asked was whether Du Ming knew Jiang He, but Du Ming directly told him the relationship between Jiang He and the Du family, including the undignified insider, is this sincere and a little excessive?

It gave Lin Feng the feeling that he was afraid that he would not ask these questions and deliberately tell himself.

Lin Feng's mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't show anything unusual on the surface, he nodded and said in an understanding tone: "We all understand the difficulties of the Du family master, the Du family master doesn't have to think that there is anything wrong with this, you use normal methods to make legal money, there is no problem with this...... And the head of the Du family can tell us this, the official is really moved, the head of the Du family is really a sincere person. ”

Sun Fujia also nodded repeatedly.

Du Ming smiled bitterly: "I'm also afraid that the case he is involved in will implicate my Du family, so naturally I shouldn't hide it." ”

Lin Feng nodded, and he continued to ask, "I don't know where this person is now?" Can we meet him? ”

When Du Ming heard this, his expression was a little strange, he shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Lin Sizheng, but Lin Sizheng can't see him at all." ”

"Can't be?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

Du Ming nodded, with a sigh on his face: "He's dead." ”

"What? He's dead? Sun Fujia exclaimed.

Lin Feng's eyes also flashed: "When did you die?" ”

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and said, "Early this morning." ”

"Early this morning?"

Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help narrowing, the murderer committed the murder before and after last night, and then transported the corpse into the inn, this morning the yamen received an anonymous report letter, went to the inn to search, and found two corpses, and according to the wounds of the corpses, it was determined that the murderer was Han Mo.

Later, he bought the inn according to Han Mo's coincidence and found Jiang He...... As a result, it happened that in the early morning of this morning, almost at the same time as the official searched the inn, Jiang He also died, is this a coincidence?

Even Zhao Fifteen couldn't help muttering: "Could it be murder......

Lin Feng held the teacup and said slowly: "Master Du, I don't know how Jiang He died?" ”

Du Ming met Lin Feng's gaze, his expression did not flicker, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang He has been running some businesses in other places for all these years according to my orders, and he only returned to Shenshan County a month ago. ”

"After returning to Shenshan County, I arranged for him to live in a wing room in the mansion, but early this morning, according to the agreement, he should have come on time to listen to me arrange some tasks, but I waited for a full quarter of an hour, and he didn't arrive, Jiang He is a very well-behaved person, he is never late, so this made me realize what might have happened."

"I immediately ordered someone to go to his room to check on him, and it turned out that he had been hanged from the beams of the room, and he had long since lost his breath."

Hanged?

Lin Feng's fingertips gently tapped on the wall of the cup, and his brain was running rapidly at this moment.

He suddenly said, "I wonder if he left any last words?" ”

Du Ming took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is the suicide note he left, which says that he has secretly hidden a lot of money over the years, he said that he is sorry for me, and he lives in the world without shame......"

Lin Feng took the suicide note and looked up.

I saw that there were only two paragraphs on the suicide note, and the general content was the same as what Du Ming said.

It's just that the words on this suicide note look a little sloppy, as if they were written in a very anxious or unstable state of mind.

He thought for a while, handed the suicide note to Sun Fujia, and said, "Sun Langzhong, you have studied handwriting, can you speculate about Jiang He's state when he wrote this suicide note?" ”

Sun Fujia carefully read the suicide note, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Seeing words like people, how a person writes words has a great relationship with his character and experience, the handwriting on this suicide note is very sloppy, and there are two words written incorrectly, which shows that the person who wrote the letter should have had a big problem with his mentality at that time, and he has long been calm." ”

"I've written a suicide note, and it's normal to have a problem with my mentality......"

Lin Feng nodded, as if he was not surprised by this, he looked at Du Ming and said with some embarrassment: "It may be a bit abrupt to say this...... But the head of the Du family, can you let us see Jiang He's corpse? ”

When Du Ming heard this, he immediately got up and said, "Lin Si is here for Jiang He, and it is normal to check his corpse." ”

As he spoke, he walked out directly, as if he was really anxious: "Lin Si is here, please." ”

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia glanced at each other, the two nodded secretly, and followed Zhao Xieyang and the others.

They left the hall, walked through a large garden, walked through two pavilions, and through a long corridor, and arrived at a room surrounded by many people.

It is worthy of being a wealthy family, the area is large, if it is the first time to come, it is estimated that they will get lost...... When Lin Feng came to the front of the room, he saw Du Ming directly wave his hand and dismissed the people who were gathered in front of the door, and soon the room in front of him was very clean.

He turned to look at Lin Feng and arched his hand: "Jiang He's family can't come back for the time being because they are all out of town, so I ordered someone to put his body in the room first, and then deal with it after his family returns." ”

Lin Feng nodded and replied, "The master of the Du family has a heart, and I think it should be a very lucky thing to be a servant of the Du family." ”

Du Ming smiled and said, "Lin Temple is please." ”

Lin Feng stepped directly into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw corpses on the ground.

Jiang He is nearly fifty years old, and his body is fat, and his hair has begun to turn white.

At this time, he was not wearing a coat, but a white undershirt for sleeping, his eyes were wide at the moment, his tongue was stretched forward, his face was hideous and distorted, and his appearance was very frightening.

However, all the people present were people who had seen the world, and Jiang He's tragic situation could not scare anyone at all.

Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at the beam, and saw that there was still a white silk hanging on the beam, the white silk was empty, blown by the wind, swaying slightly, as if something was hanging on it.

Lin Feng looked down at the ground again, next to Jiang He's corpse, there was an overturned wooden bench, and the wooden bench was just below Bai Aya...... He thought for a while and asked Du Ming, "Master Du, when you enter the room, is the room locked?" The wooden bench is right here? ”

Du Ming nodded: "That's right, the door is locked, or it took a lot of effort for the nursing hospital to crash open, Lin Si is asking for ......."

He moved out of the way, pointed to the broken latch, and said, "In order to open the door, the guards smashed the latch. ”

Lin Feng checked the latch of the door, looked at the wear and tear marks outside the door, and nodded slightly: "It is indeed the mark of breaking the door from the outside." ”

"And that wooden bench ......" Du Ming looked at Lin Feng and said, "The wooden bench has always been there, we only care about Jiang He's corpse, and we haven't taken care of it all along." ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, he came to Jiang He's corpse, squatted down, and examined the scars on Jiang He's neck.

Sun Fujia leaned over and asked, "How?" ”

Lin Feng's fingertips touched the scar and said slowly: "The scar extends backwards and upwards, and the wound is smooth, which is indeed consistent with the scar of hanging with white silk." ”

As he spoke, he lifted Sun Fujia's chin and winked.

Sun Fujia immediately understood what Lin Feng meant, ripped off the deceased's clothes, checked the deceased's body, and immediately shook his head: "There are no injuries, everything is normal." ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, he slowly got up and looked at the table.

I saw that there were four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study room on the table at this moment.

There was still ink in the inkstone, and the brush was thrown aside, and the ink on the tip of the pen slipped onto the table, staining it black.

Sun Fujia stepped forward, picked up a piece of paper on the table, checked it, and immediately nodded to Lin Feng: "This paper is exactly the same as the paper of the suicide note." ”

Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words, his brain turned rapidly, and everything in the room showed that Jiang He had indeed written a suicide note and then committed suicide.

But...... Is it really that coincidental?

It just so happened that because Han Mo found him, he committed suicide in advance?

And he said that he committed suicide because he was ashamed of Du Ming, he has been back for a full month, if he said that he should have been guilty for a long time, why did he choose this moment to commit suicide?

He suddenly looked at Du Ming and said, "Master Du, I wonder if Jiang He has any abnormal behavior in the past few days?" ”

"Anomaly?"

Du Ming shook his head and said, "There is nothing abnormal, he behaves very normally, so I was very surprised that he committed suicide suddenly." ”

Nothing out of the ordinary...... It's not a sudden irritation......

In this way, it is a little strange that he suddenly died of guilt......

Sun Fujia obviously felt that this was too coincidental, and he whispered to Lin Feng: "Zide, do you think Jiang He really committed suicide?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "All the clues point to this, although I am still suspicious of it, but the clues are like this, the clues of this suicide are too perfect, I can't find fault at all." ”

Sun Fujia also nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, I can't find any fault...... But I just thought it was too much of a coincidence. ”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, he looked at Du Ming, and said, "Master Du, I heard that in the second year of Zhenguan, Jiang He sold an inn, do you know about this?" ”

Du Ming nodded and said, "Of course I know, it was originally my Du family's inn, and I instructed him to sell it." ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "I don't know why the Du family master wants to sell that inn?" ”

Du Ming met Lin Feng's gaze and said calmly: "Don't hide it from Lin Sizheng, at that time, my Du family happened to be facing some financial problems and urgently needed a sum of money, and most of my Du family's business in Shenshan County was irreplaceable, only this inn was not very profitable, so I let him sell the inn in exchange for some money to save the emergency." ”

"It turned out to be an emergency ......"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Then I wonder if the Du family master knows who the person who bought the inn is?" ”

Du Ming shook his head: "Jiang He can handle this kind of trivial matter by himself, I didn't ask too carefully, I only knew that it was a man from other places." ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and his eyes looked directly at Du Ming: "In other words, the Du family master has no idea that the person who bought the inn is the Jiangyang thief Han Mo who has countless blood on his hands?" ”

"What?"

Du Ming was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he had a gaffe today: "Jiangyang thief Han Mo? This...... Are you sure? ”

Lin Feng took all of Du Ming's reactions into his eyes, only to see that Du Ming's demeanor was natural, without dodging, and there was no superfluous small movement in the face of his direct gaze.

He pursed his lips and nodded immediately: "That's right, it was precisely because we found Han Mo that we came to Jiang He, and we wanted to ask him if he knew that the person who bought the inn was Han Mo." ”

"So that's ......" Du Ming nodded suddenly, then looked at the corpse on the ground, and sighed: "It's a pity that Jiang He is dead...... If Lin Sizheng had come a few hours earlier, he might have been able to ask him. ”

"yes, it's a pity he's dead...... It was only a few hours away from my arrival. Lin Feng nodded meaningfully in agreement.

Du Ming looked at Lin Feng with a sincere face, his face full of gentleness and enthusiasm.

Lin Feng thought for a while, and then arched his hand and said, "Since Jiang He is dead, then we won't bother the Du family master too much." ”

When Du Ming heard this, he hurriedly said: "I also want to feast Lin Sizheng and Sun Langzhong ......."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Official business is important, when this case is over, if there is a chance, I will come to visit the Du family master again." ”

Seeing this, Du Ming nodded and said: "Business is important, then I won't delay the time of Lin Sizheng and Sun Langzhong, after the case is over, the two of you must come to Du Mansion again, I will definitely entertain the two of you." ”

Lin Feng nodded meaningfully: "I will definitely come again." ”

Soon, several people left the palatial Du Mansion.

As the door of the mansion was closed, Sun Fujia looked directly at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Jiang He's suicide is indeed without any flaws at all, I conclude that he should have written a suicide note and then committed suicide." ”

"However, I don't think it's normal for him to commit suicide."

Sun Fujia hurriedly said: "What do you say? ”

Lin Feng turned his head, looked at the Du Mansion with the high lintel, and said calmly: "With the power of the Chen family, you can clearly know everything the Four Elephants Organization has done in Linshui County, and Han Mo is far less cautious and secretive than the Four Elephants Organization compared to the Four Elephants Organization. ”

"Therefore, I don't believe that the more powerful Du Ming will have no idea about Han Mo's identity, let alone that this Han Mo bought his Du family's inn! He said that he didn't know Han Mo's identity, but instead exposed his problems. ”

Sun Fujia was shocked in his heart, and his face couldn't help but change: "Could it be that Qin Fen and Zhang Heng were killed by the Du family?" ”

Sun Fujia still has a past friendship with Du Ming, and he really doesn't want to believe that Du Ming will do these things.

After all, this is enough to prove that Du Ming wants to trap them, and then lead the Four Elephants Organization to hunt them down...... In other words, they want them to die.

It is rare for him to have a family friend, and he doesn't want to believe these from the bottom of his heart.

But he trusted Lin Feng's judgment even more.

Seeing Sun Fujia's face change suddenly, Lin Feng understood Sun Fujia's thoughts, he chuckled and shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, Sun Langzhong...... You must know that the people who know Han Mo's identity are not only murderers. ”

Sun Fujia was stunned, and then his eyes widened violently, and he suddenly realized something: "You mean? ”

Lin Feng looked at the stone lion that showed its fangs, and said meaningfully: "The person who wrote the anonymous letter, but he also named Han Mo's identity, I don't think it's a coincidence." ”

"Could it be ......" Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng fixedly: "You mean, the person who hid at the scene of the crime and watched the whole killing coldly, and wrote an anonymous letter to attract the government...... That's it, he Du Ming!? ”
