Lin Feng was outside Miss Wang Er's boudoir and saw Miss Wang Er.

After all, the woman's boudoir is special, and Lin Feng is also a person who has a sweetheart now, he doesn't want to provoke some criticism for himself, so he directly called Miss Wang Er out of the room and communicated in public.

After really seeing Miss Wang Er, Lin Feng understood why Zhu He was so desperate for Miss Wang Er, and would rather be wrongfully killed than let Miss Wang Er suffer rumors...... Miss Wang Er is really gentle, even if she is sad and sad because of her father's death, she gives people a gentle and gentle, like the feeling that the wind blows the lotus flower and shakes slowly, so I feel pity, so gentle and kind, for Zhu He's kind of martial arts straight man, it is really a dimensionality reduction blow.

Lin Feng glanced at the housekeeper standing aside, and without him saying more, the housekeeper's professionalism quickly made the housekeeper take the initiative to speak: "Lin Sizheng, you and the second miss talk slowly, the villain's legs and feet are not very good, and he can't stand after running for such a short time, so the villain goes to the front first to be lazy, and when Lin Sizheng finishes chatting with the second miss, the villain will come over again." ”

Lin Feng was very satisfied with the housekeeper's sensibility, he nodded and said: "Steward Ma is running around with the official, it is really hard to be a housekeeper, you go to rest first, if there is something, the official will call you." ”

Ma Yuan nodded again and again: "As long as I can help Lin Si Zheng investigate the case, this hard work is nothing, then Lin Si is chatting with the second lady, and the villain will go to rest first." ”

After saying that, he turned away without any delay, and sat down on a stone not far away.

Lin Feng retracted his gaze, looked at Second Miss again, lowered his tone, made his tone as gentle as possible, and said, "Second Miss, let's talk?" ”

Miss Wang Er nodded lightly, her voice was gentle and soft, and said, "I don't know what Lin Si wants to talk about?" ”

"Let's talk about you and Zhu He." Lin Feng got straight to the point.

When Miss Wang Er heard the word Zhu He, her delicate face suddenly showed a look of shock, as if she didn't expect that the secret between herself and Zhu He would be known by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Miss Wang Er's reaction and said, "Second Miss Wang, don't worry, the secret between you is only known by this official and Zhou County, and no one else knows, and we know that these are in order to find out the case of your father's death, and there is no intention to interfere with the relationship between you, you can rest assured." ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Second Miss Wang pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before she sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not afraid of being known by others, I identify Brother Zhu, so I don't care about other people's opinions, it's Brother Zhu who doesn't want me to get hurt, he asked me to swear, I am not allowed to tell anyone about us until he thinks of a foolproof solution, otherwise he would rather end the relationship between us than see me face rumors." ”

"When Zhou County ordered Brother Zhu to be arrested before, I actually wanted to stand up and explain everything, but Brother Zhu glared at me, I understood what he meant, he didn't want me to come out, he didn't want me to be the center of rumors...... At that time, I was really tormented, and I had already made a decision, even if I became the laughing stock of everyone in the future, I must not really let Brother Zhu die for me, but before I could stand up, Lin Sizheng rehabilitated Brother Zhu. ”

Saying that, Miss Wang Er saluted Lin Feng and said, "Jiao'er is acting on behalf of Brother Zhu Xie Lin Sizheng, if there is no Lin Sizheng, maybe we have been pointed at by everyone now." ”

Lin Feng saw Second Miss Wang's sincere expression, and said, "Second Miss doesn't need to be polite, rehabilitating the innocent is the duty of this official, this official just wants to listen to Second Miss tell you in detail about what happened between you and what happened to Ling Zun in the two days after the accident." ”

Although Miss Wang Er has a gentle temperament, she is also a neat person, she no longer hesitated, and directly told how she had a good impression of Zhu He and how she had a relationship.

is similar to what Zhu He said, the only difference is that in fact, Miss Wang Er's liking for Zhu He was earlier than Zhu He's liking for Miss Wang Er.

Why did Miss Wang Er let Zhu He board the carriage as soon as Zhu He fell ill, and took care of Zhu He personally...... It was because of that time that Miss Wang Er had already fallen in love with Zhu He, otherwise, no matter how kind-hearted Miss Wang Er was, she would not have taken care of a sick subordinate in person as a young lady, found a Lang Zhong for her subordinates, and arranged a carriage for her to be grateful to Dade.

And why do you like Zhu He, it is a very common hero to save the beauty, once Miss Wang Er was in danger, it was Zhu He who was a nurse who stepped forward to protect Miss Wang Er, and since then, this man who is five big and three rough has captured the heart of a girl who has just opened her love.

Of course, none of this matters, what matters is the events of the days after the incident.

“…… I didn't know anything about the marriage proposal before, but my father suddenly found me and told me to get ready to get married, which directly caught me off guard and made me not know what to do, so I quickly told Brother Zhu about it......"

When Miss Wang Er talked about the marriage proposal, her eyebrows frowned tightly, which made her feel even more pitiful when she saw her, and she said: "Speaking of which, I am also a little panicked, what is the use of telling Brother Zhu this kind of thing?" As a result, Lin Sizheng also saw that Brother Zhu not only did not help, but almost caused Brother Zhu to suffer injustice. ”

Listening to Miss Wang's words, Lin Feng said, "Second Miss Hui Lanxin, it should be very popular, right?" Before that, there was no one else to kiss? ”

Miss Wang Er said: "Yes, but after the matchmaker comes to ask for my opinion, my father will come to ask for my opinion, and when I refuse, my father will not force me...... I thought that my father would never force me to marry, but I didn't expect that this time my father would be so resolute. ”

When she said these words, Miss Wang Er's tone could not hide her sadness and disappointment, obviously unable to accept that her gentle and loving father in the past would suddenly ignore her happiness and thoughts.

It's still a simple-minded girl who hasn't come out of the depths...... In the case of not involving the interests of officialdom, Wang Jian will naturally be a good father, but when the interests of officialdom are affected, a daughter's marriage can help him through the crisis or go further, how can Wang Jian hesitate?

This is not to say that Wang Jian is cold-blooded, but the practice of officialdom, and the children's in-laws have never considered happiness, but the combination of interests.

Lin Feng didn't follow Miss Wang Er's words to evaluate Wang Jian's good or bad, he continued his inquiry: "Did your father explain to you why he had to let you marry Jiang He instead of the son of another official?" ”

Miss Wang Er frowned and shook her head: "Father didn't say it, but ......"

She thought for a moment and continued, "But I remember that my father was not in a very good mood at the time, and he was a little irritable, so that he never smiled from beginning to end. ”

Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Dysphoria?

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

It stands to reason that Wang Jian agreed to Jiang Yuan's proposal, which is a strong alliance, and they should take care of each other in the future, and they should be safer in officialdom, how could he be in a bad mood?

Don't...... Thinking wrong?

The reason why Wang Jian agreed to Jiang Yuan's proposal was not because of the strong alliance, but because of the ...... Forced to say yes?

Could it be that Jiang Yuan grasped Wang Jian's handle, so that Wang Jian had to agree?

Lin Feng's brows furrowed, he thought for a while, and said, "Second Miss, do you know if your father has encountered any difficulties during this time?" ”

Miss Wang Er shook her head: "I don't know about this, my father never told us about officialdom." ”

Lin Feng was not surprised, it could be seen from the hope that Miss Wang Jian could allow her and Zhu He to be in the hope that Miss Wang Jian was really protecting her and Zhu He too well, far from Xiao Man'er understanding the essence of this world.

In this way, I can only ask Mrs. Wang again, if Mrs. Wang doesn't know, then go to Xiao Siqing, Wang Jian is working under Xiao Siqing, maybe Xiao Siqing can know this.

And if you can know Wang Jian's predicament, you may be able to understand what means Jiang Yuan used, and then deduce the forces behind the real murderer and how Jiang Yuan was affected, so as to find out the forces behind the real murderer in reverse.

Lin Feng exhaled lightly, he could learn about this from Miss Wang Er, and this trip was not in vain.

He said to Miss Wang Er again: "The last time Miss Second saw Wang Shaoqing, it was when Wang Shaoqing told you about the marriage, and she hasn't seen Wang Shaoqing since then, right?" ”

Miss Wang Er nodded lightly, her voice was soft, and said: "Actually, after Brother Zhu's failure, I also wanted to see my father again, I wanted to beg my father in person, in my father's eyes, Brother Zhu is just a subordinate, and Brother Zhu's plea is far less useful than mine." ”

"It's just that I didn't have time to see my father, but I was stopped by the housekeeper, the housekeeper said that the master was not feeling well, and he was definitely not in a good mood, and I went to my father to oppose the marriage at this time, and the effect would only be worse, and my father would not only not agree to me, but would strengthen my determination to let me marry."

"I think what the housekeeper said is reasonable, this is really not a good time, so I thought about waiting for my father's body to recover, and then go to my father as soon as possible, but I didn't expect ......"

Miss Wang Er couldn't help crying, even if she complained that her father forced her to marry, she was still bitter about her father's death: "I never have a chance again." ”

"Butler?"

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes turned and looked at the butler who was sitting on the stone on the side and was knocking his legs, and he said, "The housekeeper knows that you are against this marriage? ”

Miss Wang Er sniffed lightly, nodded and said, "After my father told me, I directly said that I didn't want to marry...... So there are many people who know. ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, he retracted his gaze, and continued: "The second young lady...... I don't know what happened to you and Zhu He, have you told anyone else? ”

Miss Wang Er shook her head: "No." ”

It seems that there are no more clues from Miss Wang Er, but if you can confirm Zhu He's words, determine how the real murderer used Zhu He, and know that Wang Jian was forced to agree to the marriage, it can be regarded as a lot of gains.

He said: "Thank you for the cooperation of the second miss, the second miss will go back to rest first, if there are other questions next, the official will come to ask the second miss again." ”

He sent the second lady back to the room, turned around, and saw that the butler had slipped back behind him.

"Lin Sizheng, where are we going next?" The butler asked with a smile.

That's pretty smart...... Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Go and see Feng Wu who fetches rosin." ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Feng let Feng Wu leave.

The conversation with Feng Wu was not long, but it was enough for Lin Feng to be sure that Feng Wu had no problem.

Feng Wu's answer and performance made Lin Feng unable to find any questions, and more importantly, on the night of the real murderer, Feng Wu went out because of something at home, that is to say, he was not in the palace that night, and he returned the next morning, Zhou Helin had already done an investigation on this matter and confirmed that Feng Wu was not lying.

And when Feng Wu returned, Wang San was delivering food to the fake Wang Jian, and there were people in the room at that time, so under the comprehensive factors, Feng Wu was enough to completely rule out suspicion.

"So it seems...... The problem of rosin should be that the remaining more than 80 rosins are all problematic, so no matter how Toyogo takes rosin, he will select the problematic rosin...... It's just that the real culprit has the key to the freezer, and it's not difficult to steal a key to the warehouse, so the rosin line seems to be broken......"

Lin Feng touched his chin and sighed softly, although he knew that it was impossible for every clue to lead to the final destination, but the direction that he had finally found was broken like this, and he still felt a pity.

Fortunately, rosin's clues helped him eliminate Wang San's suspicion and crack the third trap of the real murderer, but it was not without the slightest gain.

"Hoo ......"

Lin Feng let out a long breath, and at this point, his inquiries about all the relevant scenes and relevant personnel were over.

Through the questioning of Mrs. Wang and others, he had a detailed understanding of the events of the days when the crime occurred, and knew when the real murderer killed the person, how to kill the person, how to dig out the heart and remove the body, and how to find the scapegoat.

It can be said that the harvest is very rich, and the investigation in just over an hour is far more than Zhou Helin's harvest in five days.

But......

"It's not enough......"

Lin Feng's eyes kept flashing with thought, and his brows frowned slightly: "There are many clues, but because they are not deep, it is difficult to connect them with each other to form a network of evidence that is connected from end to end...... A key, breakthrough clue is missing! A crucial clue that can connect all the leads! ”

"And ......"

Lin Feng picked up the kettle, poured himself a glass of water, looked at his frowning face on the water, and slowly said to himself: "And...... There are still some doubts that have not been solved, even if there are few people in the middle of the night, how can the real murderer be sure that he will not be discovered if he opens the door of the freezer? Not to mention that he had to stay in his room all day the next day......"

"But as a person in the palace, what reasonable reason can he have for him not to show up all day?"

And even if he had a reasonable reason, as long as such a person really existed, he should know that I would be suspicious of his ...... With his prudence and thoroughness, how could he possibly put himself in such a situation where he could easily be suspected? ”

Lin Feng couldn't figure it out, with the clues he had so far, he couldn't explain these problems at all.

Obviously, he still needs more clues, clues that can explain these problems, and he has a hunch that once such clues appear, it will really not be far from him cracking the truth.

"But how to find such clues...... I did everything I could......"

The housekeeper and Zhao Fifteen on the side saw Lin Feng frowning and muttering to himself there, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and the housekeeper said cautiously: "Lin Sizheng, is there any villain who can help?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, he raised his head and drank the cold water in the cup directly.

The cold water entered his throat, and the coldness suddenly made him shiver, instantly making his originally tired brain suddenly refresh.

Rushing all the way, after coming back, he didn't stop at all, and directly devoted himself to the investigation of the case, which made Lin Feng always in a tired and high-load operation, and his brain was not active as usual.

Fortunately, he can also stimulate his brain with the help of foreign objects.

"I did do everything I had to do, but the clue collection was far from over...... Li Haomiao's investigation has not yet been concluded, Sun Langzhong's news has not yet been returned, and Zhao Xieyang's file has not been taken...... It's too early to worry. ”

Knock knock!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The voice of the gossip expert in Dali Temple came: "Lin Sizheng, the lower officials have completed the investigation in accordance with Lin Sizheng's requirements." ”

Hearing Li Haomiao's voice, Lin Feng raised his head violently.

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

"Come in." Lin Feng put down the water cup and said directly.

With a creaking sound, Li Haomiao pushed the door and entered.

He came to Lin Feng, and without Lin Feng opening his mouth to ask, he took the initiative to take out a roster, handed it to Lin Feng, and said: "Lin Sizheng, the lower officials have completed the investigation of the list of Wang Shaoqing who brought things from the outside world into the palace at least once in the eight days before Wang Shaoqing's illness, this is the personnel roster, there are a total of twenty-five people, ten of whom are craftsmen who come to the palace to work, and fifteen are the masters and subordinates in the palace. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he took the roster directly, he opened the roster, and saw that the names of these twenty-five people were written in detail on the roster, as well as when they were, for what reason, the palace they entered, and what things they carried, etc., the content was very detailed, and it could be seen that Li Haomiao was indeed very attentive.

"And ......"

Li Haomiao took out another roster from his arms, and he said: "This is the list of people who have left the palace with things found out by the lower officials during the period from Wang Shaoqing's illness to the time when Wang Shaoqing's body was found. ”

Lin Feng took the list again, opened it, and saw that there were twenty-three people in this list, of which fifteen were craftsmen and florists who came to work in the palace, and only eight were the masters and subordinates of the palace.

Lin Feng put the two lists on the table at the same time, and looked at the two rosters to compare and find common names.

In the first list, Lin Feng relied on the real murderer to bring the tools of the crime into the palace to obtain, and the second list relied on the real murderer to take the dug out heart and tools out of the palace to obtain, so the overlap between the two lists must be the scope of the real murderer's existence.

And after determining that the real culprit was the people in the palace, Lin Feng didn't need to consider outsiders, he just needed to compare these people in the palace, and the number of these people was not much.

Soon, Lin Feng came to a conclusion.

"Five!"

Lin Feng found that there were only five people in the two lists that overlapped.

Coincidentally, among these five people, Feng Wu, who had just inquired, was among them.

"So, these five people are the range of the real murderer......"

Lin Feng took a deep look at the names of these five people, then looked at Li Haomiao, and said, "How is the investigation of the situation on the night Wang Shaoqing was killed?" ”

"That's what the lower officials want to say."

Li Haomiao looked at Lin Feng and said: "On the night of the crime, one of these five people was not in the house because he was out, and among the other four, two of them were nursing homes on night patrol, and they had never left with other nursing homes, and the three of them had alibi certificates, and the remaining two had alibi certificates because no one could prove that they had not left because they were resting in their rooms, so there was no alibi." ”

"But ......"

As soon as his voice changed, his face became solemn, and he saw him look at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "However, these two people were doing things with other people when Wang San delivered food and medicine the next day, but at that time, ...... There are people in the room! ”

Brush it up.

Listening to Li Haomiao's words, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly dilated.

He stared at Li Haomiao and said, "Sure?" ”

Li Haomiao nodded heavily: "Sure!" The lower officials personally confirmed them one by one, and there were no problems! ”

And, on the night when Wang Shaoqing's body was found, when Mrs. Wang went back to the bedroom to rest, these five people were with other people, but at that time, according to Lin Sizheng, the real murderer was already in the bedroom...... So ......"

Li Haomiao took a deep breath and said with a heavy face: "Lin Sizheng, their suspicions have been ruled out!" It's impossible for them to commit this case! That is, there are no suspects! ”

Zhao Fifteen was already stupid on the side.

"How is that possible!? How could there be no suspects!? ”

Zhao Wufu had been following Lin Feng, so he knew very well what Lin Feng asked Li Haomiao to investigate these for, he thought that Li Haomiao would be able to provide very helpful clues to his father-in-law this time, and he could help his father-in-law find the suspect directly!

But who knows, in the end, what they are waiting for is a sentence that there is no suspect!

Doesn't this mean that the hard work of the father-in-law has been in vain? Even the clues and directions that the stepfather finally found were wrong?

Otherwise, how can there be no gain?

Li Haomiao was thoughtful, and naturally understood what Lin Feng's purpose was for letting him do this, and he said heavily: "I don't want to come to such a result, but I'm sure there is absolutely no mistake halfway, and the result is that there is no suspect." ”

"Father-in-law...... Zhao Fifteen couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his face was full of unwillingness: "This ...... What to do? Are we really wrong? Father-in-law, your painstaking investigation is really in vain? ”

When Li Haomiao and the housekeeper heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with a heavy worry.

But who knows, after Lin Feng heard the bad news of Li Haomiao, after frowning for a moment, he suddenly stretched his brows and laughed: "Who said that my investigation was in vain?" Who said I was wrong? ”

"What!?" All three of them were stunned.

Zhao Shifu couldn't help but say, "But there is no suspect......"

"There are no suspects! There should be no suspects! ”

"I see......"

Lin Feng's eyes burst into dazzling essence, the corners of his mouth raised, and he laughed, "I understand!" I finally understand what this is all about! ”

Looking at Lin Feng's excited appearance as he peeked through the fog, Zhao Fifteen and the three couldn't help but look at each other.

"Father-in-law, you ......"

Lin Feng looked at the three of them and said, "I finally understand why the real murderer dares to dig his heart in the ice vault with confidence, without worrying that someone will find out when he opens the stone door of the ice vault!" ”

"I finally understand why the real murderer dared to pretend to be Wang Shaoqing for a whole day after killing someone, without fear of being discovered by anyone!"

"Of course, he is not afraid of being discovered, because it is impossible for anyone to find out that there is an absence in the palace! Because he wasn't absent at all! He didn't pretend that Wang Shaoqing was hiding in the room at all! ”

Zhao 15 was dumbfounded: "But father-in-law, there is indeed someone in Wang Shaoqing's room......

"That's right, there are indeed people, but they are not the real murderers hiding in the palace!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said something that shocked the three people present: "Don't you understand yet?" Why are there no suspects? Why is everyone satisfied with alibi? Why can a real murderer do this? ”

"Because...... This is not a crime committed by one person at all! The real murderer has a helper! And that helper...... Not from the palace! ”

"He ......"

Lin Feng looked directly at the two rosters on the table, he glanced around the two rosters, suddenly, he stretched out his hand, swept the second roster to the ground, and then raised his finger, pointed to the list of foreign craftsmen on the first roster, and said firmly: "This helper of the real murderer is among these people!" ”
