In the quiet room, as Lin Feng asked this sentence, Zhao Shifu was suddenly shocked, only to feel that his scalp was numb, he knew Lin Feng best, and knew that Lin Feng would never ask irrelevant questions when investigating the case, Lin Feng asked like this, which means that Lin Feng was at least eighty percent sure that Wang Jian, who was lying on the bed at that time, was dead!

In other words, when such a gentle and gentle Mrs. Wang arrived at the room, it was a dead corpse who shared the bed with her!

Madame Wang slept with the dead body all night!

What kind of appalling horror story is this?

Zhao Shifu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Wang, for fear that Mrs. Wang would be frightened, but who knows, when Mrs. Wang heard Lin Feng's question, her face was puzzled and dazed, and her voice was still gentle: "Why did Lin Sizheng ask like this?" Of course my husband is alive. ”

"What?" Zhao Fifteen was stunned, Wang Jian was alive at that time, could it be that his father-in-law misjudged?

When Lin Feng heard this, he just knocked his fingertips lightly on the table, as if making a mark, and said, "Mrs. Wang touched Wang Shaoqing?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "When I returned to the room that night, I found that my husband was already lying on the bed, I knew that my husband was unwell and needed a good rest, for fear of waking him up, so I quickly blew out the candle, and then climbed on the bed lightly." ”

"I wanted to go directly past my husband and don't touch my husband, so as not to wake him up, but as a result, when I was climbing the bed, my husband turned over, which happened to let me run into my husband, I was startled at the time, and I thought it would wake up my husband, but my husband still continued to sleep soundly, which made me feel relieved."

Just as Mrs. Wang was climbing the bed, Wang Jian on the bed turned over...... Did he turn over just right, or did he deliberately turn over to make Mrs. Wang think that Wang Jian was still alive at that time? Therefore, when investigating the murder of Wang Jian and questioning Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang was able to give a confession that Wang Jian was still alive at that time?

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mrs. Wang, on the night of the crime, did you ever see your husband's appearance?" ”

Mrs. Wang recalled and said: "That night I found that my husband blew out the candle after resting, so the light in the room was not bright, with the help of the lantern outside the door, I could only see the outline dimly, when I walked to the bed, my husband was asleep on his side towards the bed, and when I was about to crawl over, my husband just turned over, and his face was facing out......"

Lin Feng said: "In other words, you didn't see your husband's face clearly on the bed that night, right?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "That's right." ”

Lin Feng laughed, interesting, it was just a turning over action, I didn't expect to be able to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

It can not only make Mrs. Wang think that Wang Jian was still alive at that time, but also prevent Mrs. Wang from seeing her face...... At that time, the light was very dark, and Mrs. Wang did not dare to move at all for fear of waking Wang Jian, so that even the closest person, in that case, it was difficult for Mrs. Wang to determine whether the person next to the pillow was Wang Jian.

Although it was just a turning over action, the result of this action completely affected the direction and progress of Zhou Helin's investigation, which made Lin Feng's vigilance against the real murderer of Wang Jian quickly increased by several steps.

The tricks in this world are not to say that the more complicated they are, the more powerful they are, on the contrary, if you can use the simplest method to achieve the goal of deceiving everyone, then this person is even more terrifying.

This means that this person is more bold, more careful, and more wise, and can completely control what Mrs. Wang thinks and does that night, only in this way can he create such a scam by relying only on a turnover!

The road is simple, straight to the point, such a person will never do superfluous things.

In other words, the real murderer will definitely not leave too many clues, and it may not be easy to find him.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, the battle intent in his heart couldn't help but burn, the more difficult the case to investigate, the more difficult it was to find the murderer, the more excited and motivated he was.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Mrs. Wang, I don't know how your husband got sick?" Who was Lang Zhong who treated him? Are you familiar with that Langzhong? and when he got sick, who gave him medicine and food. ”

Mrs. Wang didn't hide Lin Feng's question, she thought about it, and said: "The husband did not finish the business during the day because there were many official duties in Dali Temple two days ago, so the master continued to deal with official business in the study that night, because it was too late after handling the official business, the master did not go back to the room to rest, but slept in the study. ”

"Xu is study room does not have a warm room, Xu is the study is not a quilt, the next morning to get up, the master felt unwell, lightheaded, body heat and weakness, seeing the master like this, I persuaded the master not to go to the duty, after the master agreed, on the one hand, I arranged for someone to take leave, on the other hand, let people go to the Imperial Doctor's Department to find the Imperial Doctor Qin to see a doctor for the master."

"Imperial Physician Qin?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he said, "You are very familiar with Imperial Doctor Qin? ”

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Imperial Physician Qin and the old man have a good personal relationship, in the past, when someone was sick in the house, Imperial Physician Qin came to treat it. ”

Lin Feng tapped his finger on the table again, as if making another mark, and he said: "Mrs. Wang said, it was you who persuaded Wang Shaoqing not to go to the upper duty, that is, on the morning when Wang Shaoqing was just sick, you saw Wang Shaoqing?" ”

"Yes, after all, I serve the master every day to change clothes."

Lin Feng listened to Mrs. Wang's words and fell into deep thought...... Judging from the fact that on the night of the crime, Wang Jian on the bed had been avoiding being seen by Mrs. Wang, Wang Jian on the bed should be afraid of being discovered by Mrs. Wang, that is to say, his disguise is definitely not at the perfect level, and he thinks that when Mrs. Wang sees his face, she can recognize that he is not his husband.

However, on the morning two days before the incident, Mrs. Wang met Wang Jian face-to-face, and did not find any abnormality in Wang Jian...... Does this mean that Wang Jian at that time was still the real Wang Jian?

And after that, it was still the imperial doctor who had a good relationship with Wang Jian to see Wang Jian, if the imperial doctor had no problem, then the imperial doctor should not admit his mistake, and Wang Jian was really suffering from severe wind and cold......

In this way, I misjudged again, Wang Jian did not happen before he got sick, and illness is not an excuse for not seeing people...... He actually had an accident within two days of his illness?

When he was sick and didn't let others get close, he was unknowingly stolen and replaced?

"It's really a bit of a hassle now......"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, originally thought that Wang Jian had happened two days before he was sick, in this case, as long as he investigated the night before he got sick, it would basically be enough.

But now, the time has to be directly enlarged to the two days before the crime.

The scope of two days is not a small scope in criminal investigation.

After all, in two days, everyone definitely has time to be alone, that is, everyone has the opportunity to do it.

As long as you come to the palace, you have a chance!

This is no different from the result of Zhou Helin's investigation that everyone is suspicious.

"The scope has to be narrowed down further so that the case cannot move forward......"

Lin Feng's mind was full of thoughts, and now there were two directions.

Either continue to shrink the time, and shorten the time when Wang Jian was killed again.

Or, find key evidence and clues that can directly point to the suspect!

Otherwise, this case really can't be investigated.

Fortunately...... Right now, there really is such an opportunity.

Lin Feng continued to say to Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang, I don't know if the person who delivered food and medicine to Wang Shaoqing in those two days is the same person?" ”

No one else can see Wang Jian, so naturally they won't know if Wang Jian has been replaced, but the person who delivers medicine and food to Wang Jian has to enter the room on time every day, that is to say, he is the only person who can see Wang Jian in this special period.

If it was the same person, he might either have some special clues, or he might simply have something to do with Wang Jian's killing!

Mrs. Wang nodded: "The master is afraid of passing the wind and cold to other people, so he has always asked the same person to deliver medicine and food, in this way, even if it is infected, it will only infect one person, and it will not let more people bear the risk." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I don't know who this person is?" ”

"A small servant in our house, named Wang San."

"Wang San?" Lin Feng asked, "Why did you choose this person?" Did Wang Shaoqing personally choose him? ”

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "It's not chosen by the master, this little thing is not worth the master to do in person, it was the housekeeper who instructed Wang San to send food and medicine to the master, because Wang San is tall and strong, not easy to get sick, and Wang San is also quick with his hands and feet, never stealing and playing tricks, let Wang San do this, it is most appropriate." ”

Listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Lin Feng said: "In other words, the housekeeper asked Wang San to be responsible for delivering medicine and food to Wang Shaoqing, is it expected by everyone?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "The one who is physically strong is not as good as Wang San's hands and feet, and the one who is not as sharp as Wang San's body, and he never cheats and plays tricks, when he sends medicine and food, he will definitely stare at the time to send it, so after the housekeeper proposed to let Wang San be responsible, we all agreed." ”

The body is strong, the hands and feet are nimble, and they do not cheat and play tricks...... Wang San satisfies these three points, so this matter can basically be predicted in advance, and there is a high probability that it will fall on his head, and what can be predicted in advance will have a basis for planning.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how long Wang San has been in the mansion?" Have you been doing well all the time? How did the master treat him? ”

Mrs. Wang didn't know why Lin Feng was so curious about such a small person as Wang San, but she still answered truthfully: "Wang San has been in the mansion for ten years, he has a simple temperament, he has been diligent and diligent all these years, we have a good impression of him, he is so capable, and the master treats him naturally not badly, just half a year ago, the master also gave him a salary increase." ”

After working for ten years, my salary has increased...... If there is a grudge, can you endure it for so long? And if there is no hatred and his salary has increased, then he should be grateful to Wang Jian, and there is no reason to harm Wang Jian.

So, there's nothing wrong with Wang San?

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Does Mrs. Wang know about the affairs of Wang San's family?" ”

Mrs. Wang said: "I have heard that he has parents, his parents are old, and they are all supported by his salary, and he is not yet married, so there is nothing else special. ”

His parents are alive, he will not bear any deep hatred such as killing his father and mother, and if he does not have a marriage match, he will not have the hatred of his wife and children, the family environment is simple, and his parents still rely on his wages to support him, and the work of the Wang family is very important to him...... From this point of view, he really has no motive to harm Wang Jian.

Lin Feng quickly thought about Wang San's suspicion in his mind, and he didn't find the motive for harming people for the time being, so he could only see if Wang San had any special clues.

However, this will not be able to question Wang San until Li Shimin's imperial order arrives, and Zhou Helin will not give him a chance to contact Wang San.

Lin Feng exhaled lightly, temporarily suppressing Wang San's matter.

He thought about it, continued to look at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Mrs. Wang, I wonder if Wang Shaoqing has ever made a feud with anyone?" Or have you had conflicts with other people during this time? ”

In addition to the killer killing people to complete the task, and the accidental killing of people with mental illness, killing inevitably requires a motive.

The real murderer has such a subtle calculation, and it will never be an accidental homicide with mental illness.

And if the killer kills someone, he can kill people directly, there is no need to design a trap in the time of death, and steal Wang Jian's heart, leaving a hole in his heart.

Therefore, behind all these behaviors, it is proved that the real murderer has the motive to kill Wang Jian.

Hatred is one of the most common of these motives.

Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Zhou County Ling also asked me the same question, my lord has always been kind to others, and he will never let his colleagues embarrass him, let alone make enemies." ”

A good old man?

Lin Feng said: "What about in the mansion?" Has he ever punished any of his subordinates? Or who has he reproached in public? ”

Mrs. Wang still shook her head: "No, the lord is busy with official business, he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the house, the people in the house are handed over to the housekeeper for management, if someone makes a mistake and needs to be punished, the housekeeper will punish according to the rules, if the mistake is very serious, the housekeeper will report to me, and I will decide how to punish it, and the master never handles it." ”

"How can this be ......"

Lin Feng's brows furrowed.

Judging from the fact that the real murderer killed two birds with one stone when he turned over, he would not be a person who would do superfluous things, but in this way, after killing Wang Jian, he dug out Wang Jian's heart, leaving a hole...... If it weren't for the deep hatred, it would be useful to go against his simple principles and dig out his heart after killing?

However, Mrs. Wang said that Wang Jian did not have a grudge against anyone.

And in the house, Wang Jian has not even punished and blamed a subordinate, the bad things are done by the housekeeper and Mrs. Wang, Wang Jian is definitely a radiant existence in the hearts of his subordinates!

He's really done a good job.

But...... Wang Jian had an accident in the palace, he was able to secretly make a move on Wang Jian in the room, and he dared to swagger to disguise Wang Jian, Lin Feng felt that this person must be very clear about the people and things in the palace, so he dared to do this, and he could do this.

Therefore, he suspected that the real murderer was hiding in the palace.

But no one in the palace has a grudge against Wang Jian.

And Wang Jian doesn't care about the affairs of the house at all, and he may not even have the opportunity to give his subordinates a blank eye.

In this case, the motive of the people in the house to kill does not exist.

Unless, the purpose of someone coming to the palace is to kill Wang Jian, in this case, whether Wang Jian has a grudge against him or not is not directly related.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng said: "Mrs. Wang, I don't know how long the people in the palace have been in the palace for the shortest time?" ”

"When?"

Mrs. Wang only felt that Lin Feng's question was getting more and more strange, but she still thought about it carefully for a while, and said: "At least, there are four or five years, and we have enough people in the house, so we have not recruited from the outside, almost four or five years." ”

"Four or five years ......"

Lin Feng frowned, four or five years is not a short time, if it is for revenge, can you endure it for four or five years? And in the long period of four or five years, as long as you are willing to look for it, you will definitely find an opportunity to do it, and there is no need to wait until this time.

But if it weren't for the people in the mansion, how could outsiders sneak into the mansion without being discovered, and how did they know so much about Wang Jian and the people and things in the mansion?

Wrong!

Logic doesn't make sense.

There must be something that you haven't cleared up!

There must be a key that I haven't discovered yet.

Moreover, there is one more thing that Lin Feng cares about very much.

He suspected that Wang Jian's murder case and the crown prince's case were manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

But now it seems that Wang Jian's murder is by no means a simple killing, resulting in the vacancy of Shaoqing's position.

So, is it because I think too much, but in fact, no one is behind the control?

Or is it ...... The controller and the executor are not the same person? Someone is controlling the real murderer through marionettes?

If there is, then you can't just find the real culprit, but also find the connection between the real culprit and the manipulator.

"It's getting more and more complicated......"

Lin Feng couldn't help but rub his forehead, the more he understood this case, the more he felt that this case was confusing.

No wonder Zhou Helin has nothing to gain, in addition to the real murderer and cunning, the complexity of the case does exceed that of many other cases.

He took a deep breath, summarized the news he had just gotten in his mind, thought about it, and asked the last question: "Mrs. Wang, I wonder if any outsiders have been to the mansion in the two days since Wang Shaoqing was sick?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "There are a lot, when the old man was sick, the imperial doctor treated the old man, and the guys from the pharmacy sent medicine, a wall in our house needed to be repaired, and a few craftsmen were also found, and the flower garden was renovated, and some craftsmen and florists came, before and after, there must be more than a dozen people." ”

"More than a dozen people ......"

Rao is Lin Feng felt a little dizzy when he heard these numbers.

According to his reasoning, everyone who was in the palace during the two days of Wang Jian's illness had the opportunity to kill, that is, in addition to the dozens of people in the palace, there were more than a dozen outsiders.

At this moment, there are hundreds of suspects.

If you investigate one by one, I am afraid that it will not be possible to find out in ten days and half a month, but what he lacks most now is time.

The prince's case is close at hand, and he must hurry up to investigate...... Not to mention that the forces of the Sixiang Organization are about to act, at this time, the sooner he can become the Shaoqing of the Four Ranks, the more he can control his own destiny in this complex situation.

"Time, time, ah......"

Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

Knock knock.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

The voice of the official who had just brought them over rang out: "Lin Sizheng, it's time, it's time for us to go." ”

Hearing the officer's words, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

As a key witness, Mrs. Wang did provide him with a lot of useful clues, but it was far from enough.

A deeper understanding of the case requires a thorough investigation.

But Zhou Helin didn't even give him time to say a word to Mrs. Wang, let alone let himself investigate comprehensively, it seems that he can only wait for Xiao Yu's news.

He slowly got up and bowed his hand to Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang, I have understood the specific situation, and I will find an opportunity to investigate more deeply, you can rest assured, I will do my best to find the real culprit and avenge Wang Shaoqing." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded again and again, her red and swollen eyes from crying looked at Lin Feng, and said softly: "The master said that you are a once-in-a-century case-solving wizard, Lin Sizheng, I believe in the master's judgment, and I believe that you will definitely find the truth." ”

Lin Feng met Mrs. Wang's weak but firm gaze, and nodded heavily: "Wait for my news." ”

After speaking, he took a deep breath and left the room with Zhao Fifteen.

"Lin Sizheng, how do you understand?"

Seeing Lin Feng coming out, the official hurriedly said enthusiastically.

Lin Feng glanced at him, knowing that this official was inquiring about the news for Zhou Helin, and said lightly: "Didn't you eavesdrop outside just now, you heard it very clearly, and you still need this official to tell you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile of the official froze on his face, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Lin Sizheng, the lower official is wronged, even if he gives the lower official a lot of courage, the lower official will not dare to eavesdrop on Lin Sizheng's words." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he just glanced at him with a smile, and did not reply, this look of smiling or not smiling, the expression of the official who was looking directly became more and more stiff, and finally he didn't dare to look directly into Lin Feng's eyes anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Shifu couldn't help but sneer, playing this kind of careful thinking in front of his father-in-law, what does this guy think?

Hearing Zhao Fifteen's sneer, the official couldn't help but turn red and white, he raised his head again, his face was a little ugly, his attitude became tougher, he no longer pretended to be enthusiastic, and said: "Lin Sizheng, since you have already met Mrs. Wang, it is time to leave now." ”

"Now the palace is an important place for our county government to investigate the case, normally speaking, non-case-handling personnel are not allowed to enter, Zhou County Order has made an exception for Lin Sizheng, so that Lin Sizheng can see Mrs. Wang, and I hope that Lin Sizheng can abide by the agreement, don't make it difficult for the lower officials."

This is to be pierced of the mind, directly began to drive people away...... Lin Feng glanced at the official and said slowly: "This official naturally counts when he speaks. ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng walked directly out of the door.

Seeing this, a sarcastic smile appeared in the bottom of his eyes, and he sneered in his heart: "Even if you Lin Feng are smart, what if you can investigate the case again?" Zhou County's order doesn't let you investigate the case, don't you just leave in disgrace? What's the use of knowing only a few clues? As a result, isn't it that you can only watch Zhou County Order solve the case, and then watch Zhou County Order be promoted to meritorious service? ”

"Are you laughing at me in your heart?" At this time, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded.

The official slammed his footsteps, his eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Lin Feng in shock, but soon, he lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Why does Lin Sizheng think like this?" It was too late for Xia Guan to admire Lin Temple, how dare he have other thoughts. ”

Lin Feng glanced at the official deeply, and said meaningfully: "Since you eavesdropped on me, then you should hear what I said to Mrs. Wang, I said that I would investigate the case deeply and find out the truth...... Do you think I can do this? ”

The officer's eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head and said: "Lin Sizheng said that he was laughing, this case has been handed over by His Majesty to Zhou County Commander for full investigation, and others are not allowed to interfere, so it is not Lin Sizheng who said that he would investigate the case." ”

The implication is that Lin Feng is dreaming.

Lin Feng smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the main gate of the palace directly.

Zhao Fifteen knew that Lin Feng was waiting for Xiao Yu's news, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Father-in-law, where are we going next?" ”

Lin Feng glanced at the servants and others who were staring at him vigilantly, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to go, there is a tea stall opposite, let's go have a cup of tea." ”

…………

"Tea?"

Zhou Helin, who was investigating in the ice storage warehouse of the palace, couldn't help frowning when he heard the report of the officials: "Lin Feng doesn't hurry up and go back, what kind of tea are you going to drink?" ”

The official lowered his voice and said, "The lower official thinks that he should still not give up." ”

Then, he told Zhou Helin everything he overheard.

When Zhou Helin heard Lin Feng's promise to Mrs. Wang, he sneered: "Ridiculous! When will it be up to him Lin Feng to decide whether to investigate the case or not? Now that this official has the imperial order and has all the right to decide on the case, I can even refuse Xiao Siqing, what is he Lin Feng? ”

The official hurriedly flattered: "The lower official also thinks so, so the lower official also told Lin Sizheng, saying that he didn't investigate the case if he wanted to, but Lin Sizheng didn't listen, and now he is in the tea shop opposite, which is obviously a sign of not giving up." ”

"Huh!"

Zhou Helin said coldly: "What if you don't give up? I don't let him investigate the case, even if he doesn't give up, doesn't he have to hold back? ”

"But don't say it, Lin Feng's skills are still good, and from the questions he asked Mrs. Wang, he gave me some hints."

As he spoke, Zhou Helin glanced at the cold and dark ice vault and said, "I already have an idea, and with the hint that Lin Feng sent me, I have a hunch that this case is not far from being solved." ”

When the official heard this, he hurriedly said: "Zhou County Order has rich experience in investigating cases, and countless unsolved and difficult cases have been solved, but Lin Feng robbed him of his name, it is really unfair, now it's okay, even God helps Zhou County Order, there is the idea sent by Lin Feng, as long as Zhou County Order cracks this case, it will definitely become famous, no worse than him Lin Feng." ”

Listening to the words of the officer, Zhou Helin couldn't help but recall the envy, jealousy and unwillingness in his heart when Lin Feng revealed the real murderer's trap before, his eyes flashed with a sneer, and said, "Then let him watch outside, watch me solve the case, and watch me get promoted...... Let him also feel what envy, jealousy and unwillingness are. ”

The official was about to nod and continue to pat the horse, but at this moment, a panicked footsteps suddenly sounded.

Then a hurried voice came: "Zhou County's order, the holy decree, the holy decree is here." ”

"What? Divine decree? ”

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Your Majesty in the East Palace?" How can you give me a holy decree? ”

He didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly turned around and walked out, saying, "Hurry up and follow this official to meet the holy decree." ”

The official hurriedly said: "No, it's not a holy decree for Zhou County." ”

"What?" Zhou Helin was stunned: "It's not for me?" Who is that for? ”

"Give, give it to Lin Sizheng."

"Lin Sizheng?" Zhou Helin couldn't help but show a blank look: "Give it to him?" ”

The official let out a sigh of relief, nodded his head hurriedly, and finally finished his words: "It is for Lin Sizheng, the holy decree says that Lin Sizheng has rich experience in judging cases and has outstanding ability, so he ordered Lin Sizheng to investigate the case of Wang Shaoqing's murder together......"

Rumble!

It's like thunder on the ground.

It exploded in Zhou Helin's ears in an instant.

"How, how so?"

"Didn't Your Majesty see no one in the East Palace? How could he give him a holy decree! Even the teacher can't see His Majesty, how can he let His Majesty give him the imperial order! ”

Zhou Helin was like being struck by lightning and froze directly in place.

And the official who led Lin Feng was also stunned in an instant, his pupils contracted violently, and his whole body seemed to swing at this moment, muttering: "Emperor's order, he has an emperor's order...... He's not talking big, he's not giving up, he's real, he really says that if you investigate the case, you can investigate the case! ”
