Lin Feng has always believed that there is no perfect crime in the world, and any criminal behavior, no matter how cunning and cautious the thief is, will inevitably leave indelible clues, which is the so-called "as long as it has been done, there will be traces".

Even if the thief carefully dealt with his traces, he didn't know that in the process of dealing with the traces, many of his clues had been exposed.

For example, the real murderer who killed Wang Jian in front of him, he wanted to hide the place where Wang Jian's heart was dug up, and he wanted to hide the fact that Wang Jian's body had been frozen and kept fresh in this freezer, so he had to dispose of the blood that flowed from Wang Jian's body.

He was very clever and knew that if the blood flowed to the ground, it would freeze quickly in this cold freezer, and it would be difficult to wipe it clean, so he specially used ice to freeze the blood, and then cut off the bloodstained part, thus avoiding the situation where blood was left.

He knew that after Wang Jian's death, no one would want to eat ice again in a short time, and in a few days, when the cold winter came, the old ice would be thrown away as garbage, so even if he cut the ice, no one would find out.

He calculated everything to the extreme, covering up everything he had done as much as he could.

It's just that the demon is one foot high, after all, it is still a foot high, he didn't expect that Lin Feng would have the experience of the corpse being frozen and changing the time of death, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng had never come to the palace at all, so he could know that Wang Jian's corpse had been here.

He didn't expect that it happened that he cut the ice to remove the blood stains to cover up his traces, exposing the two most important things in this case.

The first is to let Lin Feng be completely sure, this is the place to dig into the heart, so that Lin Feng can rest assured that he will investigate at the time node of half a month.

The second is to let Lin Feng know that after the real murderer dug his heart here, he also cleaned it very carefully, and cutting the ice and looking for the splattered blood stains are not things that can be done in a very short time, but the real murderer still does it cleanly.

There was no blood stain on the ice cube at all, it was completely cut clean, Lin Feng deliberately looked for it, and only found a drop of blood in the corner, and the other blood stains splashed out were basically cleaned up...... All this means that the real culprit definitely stayed in the freezer for a long time after digging out his heart.

But in this case, the problem arises...... The real murderer took advantage of Wang Jian's illness and living alone to secretly bring Wang Jian here, and during the time when he was digging his heart and dealing with follow-up matters, there was no one in the room where Wang Jian lived alone.

At this time, maybe someone will go to visit Wang Jian, once someone really goes to Wang Jian's room at this time, the real murderer's plan will be directly destroyed!

So, normally, the time for the real murderer should be very tight!

But he spent a lot of time here......

Judging from the thoroughness of the preparation of the real murderer's plan, Lin Feng didn't think that the real murderer would do something that he was not sure of, and he didn't think that the real murderer would do such an uncertain thing that relied on probability......

So, this only says one thing.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he said slowly in his heart: "He has confidence!" During the time he was in the freezer, no one would ever find out that Wang Jian was gone! ”

"And there are only two possibilities for that."

"The first possibility is that he has a way to determine that during this time period, no one will go to Wang Jian's room to look for Wang Jian...... But how does that work? Do it in the dead of night when everyone is asleep? Or is it specifically ordered not to be disturbed? ”

"And the second possibility ......"

Lin Feng's fingertips touched the uneven cut marks on the ice cubes, and he said to himself: "At that time, Wang Jian in the room still existed...... In other words, there is another Wang Jian in the middle of it, if so......"

Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath and gave a guess: "It shows that this is not a single crime, but a gang of at least two people joining forces." ”

Lin Feng wasn't sure which of the two guesses was, but it at least gave him a very clear direction of investigation.

Next, he only needs to conduct targeted investigations in turn to determine which one is possible.

If you find the right direction, you won't be far from finding the real culprit.

Lin Feng looked at the very clean scene that was handled by the real murderer, and smiled faintly, he was never afraid of the real murderer being cunning, and he was not afraid of the real murderer covering up the clues, because this would only mean that the real murderer had done more things, and the more things the real murderer did, the more ideas he had to use to speculate on the real murderer.

"This is what no one knows, unless they do it......"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and immediately turned around to look in the other directions of the ice storage.

Since it is certain that this is the site of digging and processing follow-up, there must be other traces here.

After all, in addition to digging his heart here, the real murderer also did "healing surgery" for Wang Jian.

Needles and threads can be taken with you...... But what about what glued Wang Jian's skin and flesh together to stop the blood from flowing out?

Lin Feng didn't know if the real murderer was using a soldering iron or something else to burn the flesh, but he knew that the real murderer must have heated something like a soldering iron in this freezer.

He couldn't have built a fire outside to bake the soldering iron and bring it to the freezer, it would be too easy to spot......

So, the real culprit can only heat the soldering iron here, so how did he heat it? Make a fire? Or did you get a charcoal basin?

Whether it is a fire or a charcoal basin, there will be ashes, which will inevitably cause the high temperature to roast the thin layer of ice on the floor of this ice storehouse.

Just as the only way to erase the traces of blood is to cut off the ice, this is unavoidable.

While thinking, Lin Feng's gaze carefully swept over the ground, and he had enough patience to scan the ground inch by inch.

There are still some officials walking back and forth here, and some officials should be secretly staring at them on the orders of Zhou Helin and not leaving, and at this time, the torches in their hands have just become an important light source for Lin Feng to find clues.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes moved.

He took a sudden step towards the front right.

Seeing Lin Feng's actions without warning, the housekeeper Ma Yuan hurriedly chased after him and said, "Lin Sizheng, what's wrong?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Feng stop.

When Ma Yuan came to Lin Feng's side, he found that Lin Feng was looking down at the ground, and following Lin Feng's line of sight, Ma Yuan's eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

He couldn't help but say, "There's no ice on the ground here!" ”

I saw that everywhere else on the floor of the ice vault, a layer of white ice could be seen on the ground, as if it was sticking to frost.

But the area in front of Lin Feng's eyes was not free of any white frost, and when he looked down, he could see the marble on the ground clearly at a glance.

There is a clear difference between this and other areas.

Lin Feng listened to Ma Yuan's call and did not respond, but squatted down, stretched out his finger, and touched it lightly on the ground.

At this time, his voice slowly sounded: "It's not that there is no ice, but the ice layer is very thin, and it does not appear at the same time as other ice layers, so there is a clear difference. ”

"Didn't it come at the same time?" The housekeeper couldn't help but look dazed, no matter how fast he reacted, compared to Lin Feng, it was still a lot worse.

Lin Feng said: "Do you remember your master's wound? The flesh from his wound was scalded together, not surprisingly...... That's where the soldering iron that burns your lord's wound or something like that is heated. ”

"Here!?"

The butler's eyes widened violently, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink violently.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, he looked at the obvious traces of the shape on the ground, and said: "Round, about a foot in diameter, such a regular shape, it can't be burned by the fire, it should be a charcoal basin." ”

"Charcoal basin?" The butler's face was full of surprise.

"Not bad."

Lin Feng's gaze swept to the ground nearby and continued, "There aren't any ashes on the ground...... Normally, if the ashes float out and spill on the ice, they will be quickly frozen, and the ice will be frosty and uneven, making it almost impossible to clean it up. ”

"Therefore, it can be determined that the real culprit should use charcoal with less smoke and dust, and the price of this charcoal should be expensive...... At the same time, the amount of charcoal should not be much, otherwise it is difficult for the smoke and dust not to float out, and the real culprit should be calculated the amount, as long as it is enough to heat tools such as soldering irons. ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng couldn't help but look in the direction of the iron door of the freezer, he was thinking that when the real murderer did the "healing surgery", the door should be open, otherwise if he was not careful, the revenge scene might become the scene of charcoal burning suicide.

And if you want air circulation, the stone door outside must also open at least some gaps, that is...... At that time, if someone passed near the rockery of Shimen, they might have a chance to find the anomaly of Shimen.

How can you be sure that no one will pass by the rockery at that time?

Don't...... Really late-night hands-on?

This rockery is located in the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is in the northwest corner of the remote, there is no thatched house or the like nearby, in the dead of night, there is indeed no one to pass here.

Therefore, as long as you can make sure that the nursing home that patrols the night does not pass by, it is basically safe.

The clues of the charcoal basin made Lin Feng can't help but guess that the real culprit was done late at night, and he was a little more inclined.

He looked around the charcoal basin, wondering if there would be some clues around here, according to the current situation, the real culprit also stayed here and the ice cube for the most time, and if there were clues, it would only be in these two places.

But the ice cube, because it is the place where the real murderer digs his heart, is the cleanest handled by the real murderer, so if there are any clues, it can only be here.

"That's ......"

Suddenly, Lin Feng got up, took a step to the left, and then squatted down again.

He reached out and reached for the ground again.

However, this time the housekeeper found that Lin Feng was not touching the ground, but seemed to have picked up something from the ground.

"Lin Sizheng, have you found anything again?" The housekeeper hurriedly asked curiously.

Lin Feng put his finger close to his eyes and looked at his fingertips.

I saw that between his thumb and forefinger, he was pinching a small wisp of gray string.

"It's ......"

Lin Feng thought for a while, and suddenly thought of what this was: "Twine?" ”

"Is it ......?"

He suddenly raised his head, and a flash of lightning flashed in his brain at this moment, and a guess quickly came to mind.

"Lin Sizheng, look at the walls, the frost there seems to be a little different from the ground."

At this moment, the butler's voice suddenly sounded.

When Lin Feng heard this, he subconsciously followed the housekeeper's voice.

I saw that about five paces away from where the charcoal basin was placed, the wall was close to the ground, and there was indeed less hoarfrost there than in other places.

"Is it ......?"

Lin Feng's heart moved, and he walked over quickly.

After reaching the wall, Lin Feng brought the torch closer, and everything in front of him became clearer.

I saw that on the wall, next to the ground, there was an area about three feet high and half a foot wide, and the hoarfrost on it was gone.

In other areas of the wall, there is more hoarfrost than there is on the ground.

Lin Feng knew that this was the result of air condensation...... So, normally, all walls should be the same.

But there is a difference here, and there can only be one situation...... There should have been something sticking to the wall before here.

And depending on the size of the area...... Suddenly, Lin Feng turned his head to look at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was stared at by Lin Feng like this, and couldn't help but be a little confused: "Lin Sizheng, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Feng said, "Steward Ma, please ask you for one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Lin Feng pointed to the area where there was no hoarfrost on the wall, and said, "You are sitting on the ground, close to the wall behind you, I want to determine how this area was formed. ”

Ma Yuan naturally didn't dare to disobey Lin Feng's order, he hurriedly nodded: "Okay."

As he spoke, he sat down against the wall.

The moment he sat down, Lin Feng's eyes flashed suddenly: "Sure enough!" ”

I saw that after Ma Yuan sat down, his back was against the outline of the wall, which happened to be in the area without hoarfrost, the only difference was that the area without hoarfrost was slightly larger.

But this is normal, after all, if people have to struggle, they will definitely not obediently stay in the same place, and it is precisely because of the hard struggle to rub the hoarfrost on the wall that these hoarfrost are gone.

And the reason why Lin Feng would make such a judgment...... It's because under this area without hoarfrost, right next to the ground, there is a word!

"Steward Ma is okay, you can get up." Lin Feng said.

Ma Yuan hurriedly got up.

Before he could say anything, he saw Lin Feng come to the place where he was sitting, and he was squatting down to look at the root of the wall carefully.

Seeing Lin Feng's strange behavior, Ma Yuan couldn't help but lean his head over curiously.

Immediately, I heard his unexpected voice sound: "This is ...... Word? The word of the month? ”

That's right, at the base of the wall, there is a very small letter.

In addition to the frost, there is also a thin layer of Xiaoice on the wall, and this word is engraved on the ice.

Looking at the thickness of the words, Lin Feng deduced that this should be carved out with fingernails.

And this word is exactly what Ma Yuan said about the word "month".

Although the character is small, it is written horizontally and vertically, and it is clearly enough to make people recognize what it is at a glance.

From Ma Yuan's experiment just now, it can be determined that this area was rubbed out by people struggling against the wall, and at the base of the wall in this area, the most inconspicuous and easily ignored place, such a word was left with a fingernail...... It is self-evident who left it.

At the same time, this position also coincides with the situation where a person's hands are tied behind his back.

"Steward Ma, do you recognize the words of the old man?" Lin Feng asked Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan nodded hurriedly: "The villain has been with the master for more than ten years, and he has been serving on the side, so he knows the master's words." ”

"Then this word, do you think it is your master's word?" Lin Feng asked.

When Ma Yuan heard this, he hurriedly read the words on the root of the wall carefully, and then his face couldn't help showing a complicated color, he took a deep breath, and said, "It's the master's words!" The master's words have always been a board and a glance, never even the pen, very clear and recognizable, this is the master's words! ”

"So ......"

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and couldn't help but say, "The master was kidnapped here by the real murderer, and then brutally killed by the real murderer here?" ”

Lin Feng met Ma Yuan's angry and sad expression, his right thumb and index finger subconsciously rubbed, and nodded: "The clues I have obtained so far are exactly like this. ”

"Originally, I could only be sure that this was the site of the heart-digging site, but now ...... The scene of the murder can also be determined. ”

"However, your master, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is just like the former Dali Temple Wang Sizheng, even if he is killed by thieves, as long as there is the slightest chance, he will not let the real murderer escape from the law, so he left us this word at the last moment of his life."

"The word ...... the moon" The housekeeper frowned and said, "The lord left the word moon, does it mean that the name of the real murderer has the word moon in it?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "It may be a name, or it may be something else." ”

If it is a name, it may be that this person happens to be someone Wang Jian knew, or the real murderer gave his name when he killed Wang Jian.

And if it's something else...... That's a lot, it may be the location, it may be the case that the real murderer you suspect has a motive to kill, or it may be a crescent birthmark like Bao Zheng.

He thought for a while, looked at the butler, and said, "Steward Ma, in your house, is there anyone with the word moon in his name?" ”

Ma Yuan shook his head: "No, neither the master nor the subordinates in our house have the word moon." ”

"Then do you know that among the people Wang Shaoqing knows, there are people whose names have the word moon?" Lin Feng asked again.

Ma Yuan still shook his head: "No." ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, but he was not disappointed, he knew that this case would not be so easy to solve, and it was already beyond his expectations to find so many clues in the ice library and determine the direction of the next investigation.

This is enough to prove that the ice storage is a very important crime scene in this case, and if it is not found, there is no way to narrow down the scope of suspects, and there is no way to track down more purposefully...... And until not long ago, Zhou Helin didn't find this place.

This shows that it seems that Zhou Helin investigated five days ahead of himself, but in fact, the gap between himself and him may only be that he told Zhou Helin about the ice vault for so many quarters of an hour.

This is the case with the investigation of the case, and it is not time that determines everything.

So it's really hard to say who has the advantage between himself and Zhou Helin.

He let out a long breath, carefully reviewed the harvest in the ice vault in his mind, and carefully searched the ice vault, and after making sure that there were no other clues in the ice vault, he left the ice vault with the butler.

Walking out of the stone gate of the ice warehouse and coming to the sun again, feeling the warm feeling of the sun shining on his body, Lin Feng only felt as if he had returned to the world from hell and came back to life again.

This freezer is so well designed and so insulated that it's really cold.

The real murderer chose to do it there, I'm afraid he also has some intentions.

"Father-in-law."

At this time, Zhao Fifteen's voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Feng looked at it, and saw Zhao Fifteen walking briskly, and he said to Lin Feng, "Father-in-law, I have already asked Mrs. Wang." ”

"Mrs. Wang said that the key to the freezer has been kept in the cabinet in the bedroom by her and other keys, in order to verify whether the key is still there, I went to the bedroom in person, and finally according to Mrs. Wang's instructions, I found a bunch of keys in the cabinet, and the key to the freezer was there."

As he spoke, he handed the set of keys to Lin Feng.

At the same time, he said: "Mrs. Wang said that there is a housekeeper to manage the key, and almost no one asks her for the key, so she has not checked the key much, so she is not sure whether the key has been stolen." ”

Lin Feng nodded, and there was no disappointment, with the prudence and thoughtful personality of the real murderer, it was normal that he couldn't easily crack the source of his key.

He looked down at the keychain in his hand, looked at the dozens of keys, and couldn't help but think of the housekeeper's key, and said, "Steward Ma, the key here is the same as your key, right?" ”

Ma Yuan nodded: "It's true, Madame will have a key to any lock in the house." ”

Lin Feng continued: "But there are really a lot of keys, and each key doesn't look very different, and there is no mark on it, how do you know which key is which lock?" ”

When Ma Yuan heard this, he looked serious and said, "As a housekeeper, you should have the ability to figure out which key is which lock with your eyes closed." ”

Get...... It seems that you can become a housekeeper, it is really natural, you were born to be a housekeeper.

Lin Feng exchanged the keychain to Zhao Fifteen and said, "I'll return it to Mrs. Wang in a while." ”

Zhao Wufu hurriedly nodded yes, he glanced at the stone gate behind Lin Feng, and said curiously: "Father-in-law, you came out so soon, what is this?" ”

Lin Feng understood what Zhao Fifteen meant, and said with a smile: "The investigation has been completed, and there are indeed some gains." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Fifteen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "Then next?" ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The direction is already there, but before I formally investigate this, I am going to meet Wang San who sent food and medicine to Wang Shaoqing, he is the only person who can see Wang Shaoqing in the past two days, maybe he can give me more surprises." ”
