Half a quarter of an hour later.

Outside the room where Wang Jian lived alone, the subordinates and officials of the palace had already blocked the water around the place, and they stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look into the room.

At the same time, the sound of whispering kept coming.

"Did you really solve the case? It won't be the same as Zhou County's order to solve the case before, and it will be the trick of the real murderer, right? ”

"Yes, with my previous experience, I don't dare to believe in solving the case now, for fear that it will be another empty joy, or someone will be wronged."

"Don't worry, it's Lin Sizheng who called us over this time, who doesn't know Lin Sizheng's ability? He is different from Zhou Xianling, he said that if the case is solved, it must be solved. ”

"That's right! Lin Sizheng is a detective, Zhou Xian Ling was deceived by the real murderer before, and almost framed a good person, which is the mistake pointed out by Lin Sizheng, Lin Sizheng will definitely not make the same mistake. ”

"It would be great if this was the case, this murderer of the master is finally going to be found out!"

"Yes, but Lin Sizheng is really too powerful, he investigated for only two or three hours, and he actually solved the case, Zhou County ordered the investigation for five days, but it almost caused an unjust case, before I didn't have a clear idea of how powerful Lin Sizheng was, but now I have."

"Shhhh This is the last sad thing that Zhou County Ling wants to mention, in case it is heard by Zhou County, there is your good fruit to eat. ”

Zhou Helin, who was clear-eared in the room: "......"

Can I say I've heard it?

Zhou Helin took a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng with a very complicated heart.

He was just looking for clues, and he was full of energy to find out the truth, so as to wash away his previous humiliating reasoning and save his reputation, which he had lost somewhere.

But who knows, just when he was investigating with high morale, Zhao Fifteen suddenly ran over and told himself not to waste time, when he heard this, his brain buzzed, and he thought that Zhao Fifteen was here to ridicule him, he was just about to get angry, and he heard Zhao Fifteen say that Lin Feng had solved the case.

At that moment, Zhou Helin was directly stunned.

He only felt as if his brain had stopped, as if all his thoughts had gone blank, so much so that he didn't even know how he got here.

By the time he reacted, he was already standing in the room, and his ears were already listening to the voices of those subordinates in the palace.

"Rinji Masa ......"

Zhou Helin pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help asking, "Have you really solved the case?" Did you really find out the real culprit? Is there really enough evidence? ”

He sent out three consecutive questions, which made Lin Feng instantly understand Zhou Helin's complex inner thoughts.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Zhou County Order, I am also lucky." ”

As soon as Zhou Helin heard Lin Feng's words, he understood.

Lin Feng really solved the case.

Although he didn't have much contact with Lin Feng, Zhou Helin thought he had enough understanding of Lin Feng's temperament, Lin Feng was a very cautious person, as long as it was what Lin Feng said, he must be 100% sure.

In other words, even though Lin Feng was five days later than himself, this case was still solved by Lin Feng.

The competition between himself and Lin Feng, at this moment, finally had a result.

I lost.

This cognition made Zhou Helin feel unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, he knew very well that he lost this case, which meant that his competition for Shaoqing was over.

His hands hidden in the wide sleeves trembled uncontrollably, and his heart seemed to be in pain, Zhou Helin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then reopened his eyes and looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Sizheng, who is the real murderer?" What's going on in this case? ”

He wanted to know how he had lost, and he wanted to know who the real culprit of the insidious cunning that had caused him to suffer repeated setbacks was.

Hearing Zhou Helin's words, the eyes of the other people in the room, such as Gao Cheng, Zhang Yi, Li Haomiao, Sun Fujia, and Mrs. Wang's housekeeper, also fell on Lin Feng at the same time.

They are also eager to know who the real murderer of Wang Jian is.

For a while, Lin Feng quickly became the focus.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Feng didn't sell it, he said slowly: "First of all, this official wants to inform you of one thing, that is, the real culprit who killed Wang Shaoqing and committed the unforgivable crime is not one, but two. ”

"What!? Two people? ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone was stunned.

Among the people present, Zhao Fifteen, the housekeeper, Zhang Yi and other people who helped Lin Feng check the file knew some corresponding inside information, and the others, including Zhou Helin, the investigators and Mrs. Wang, the people in the palace, didn't know anything about it.

They always thought there was only one murderer.

So when he heard Lin Feng say that there were two murderers at this time, not to mention how surprised and unbelievable he was in his heart.

Gao Cheng glanced at the reactions of Zhou Helin and the others, his heart moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Lin Sizheng, are you sure that there are two real murderers?" Zhou County Ling has investigated five days ahead of you, and it seems that he doesn't know that there is such a thing, so you'd better check it out and talk about it, so as not to make mistakes and affect the reputation of Dali Temple. ”

Although Zhou Helin knew that Gao Cheng was using himself to influence Lin Feng, he really didn't know that there were two real murderers, which made him not care about refuting Gao Cheng, he just stared at Lin Feng tightly, wondering what was going on.

Others reacted in the same way.

Lin Feng looked at Gao Cheng and said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing rest assured, Xia Guan is the head of Dali Temple, and the reputation of Dali Temple is more important than his own life, even if Gao Shaoqing wants to make Xia Guan make mistakes, Xia Guan will not make mistakes." ”

"What do you mean by the official trying to make you wrong, the official is just reminding you." Gao Cheng was furious by Lin Feng's sarcastic words.

Lin Feng smiled, no longer arguing with Gao Cheng, he said: "This official concluded that the murderer was not alone, and there are three reasons for this. ”

"First, the murderer dug his heart in the freezer, and then stitched up the wound, and carefully cut off the bloodstained ice in the freezer, it will take a lot of time to do these things well, but at that time, even in the dead of night, it is inevitable that no one will pass in front of the freezer, and it is inevitable that no one will want to visit Wang Shaoqing's condition, in this case, how can the murderer ensure that his actions will not be discovered?"

Zhou Helin's brows furrowed, and he nodded: "This is actually something I haven't figured out all along, but after investigation, I found that the nursing home that patrolled that night happened to avoid here, so I think the real culprit should have known the route of the nursing home patrol in advance, and he was sure that no one would patrol before he did it with confidence." ”

Lin Feng said: "If the nursing home doesn't go to patrol, you can indeed rest assured that you can do it in the freezer, but did Zhou County Ling think about it, Wang Shaoqing was seriously ill at that time, and the family must be very worried, what if Mrs. Wang and any of them want to visit Wang Shaoqing's illness at this time?" And how can the killer be sure that he will not be discovered? ”

"This ......" Zhou Helin thought hesitantly, and then nodded: "That's true." ”

Lin Feng smiled and continued, "The second reason comes from Wang San. ”

"Wang San?" The housekeeper was stunned, he couldn't help but glance at Wang San, who had been brought out with his head down, sullen, and said, "Did Wang San find something?" ”

When Wang San heard Lin Feng mention himself, he also raised his head to look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Don't look at Wang San as honest and honest, but he provided the most important clue to this official." ”

"What?" Zhou Helin hurriedly asked, he also asked Wang San, but Wang San didn't give him any important clues at all.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and the others and said, "When Wang San was disguising Wang Shaoqing as the murderer, he found a piece of paper in the charcoal basin of the room that was not completely burned. ”

As he spoke, he took the paper out of his bosom and said, "Where this paper has not been burned, there are still some handwritings left, and after identification, these handwritings are not the handwriting of anyone in the palace. ”

But at that time, only the murderer was in the room, so I could be sure that this must be the handwriting written by the murderer, and the murderer wanted to destroy it, but he didn't expect to leave a small piece of ...... So if it doesn't belong to the people in the palace, to whom? ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin stepped forward directly, his eyes fixed on the blackened paper that was burned.

Looking at the handwriting that was very unsightly, but written one stroke at a time, Zhou Helin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang San and asked, "When the official asked you, why didn't you take it out?" ”

He didn't know what else Wang San had that hadn't been burned, and if he had, he would have taken it to investigate.

Lin Feng naturally knew why, Wang San had a secret, and he was threatened by the real murderer, either he didn't take it out, so as not to reveal his secret, or if he took it out, he would definitely be able to ensure that the real murderer was found, as long as the real murderer was found, then whatever the real murderer said about him, he would have an excuse to say that the real murderer deliberately retaliated, so Wang San wanted to choose someone to give key clues...... And obviously, Wang San didn't think that Zhou Helin could find the real culprit.

But this, Wang San naturally wouldn't say it, in the face of Zhou Helin's questioning, Wang San just lowered his head and said nervously: "The villain didn't expect this piece of paper to be so important at the time, or Lin Si was reminding the villain, saying that the villain had found anything special, such as sound paper and the like, and the villain remembered that there was still this paper." ”

Wang San's expression was honest and honest, and he opened his mouth tremblingly at this time, completely giving people the feeling that what he said was the truth, and at the same time, Wang San expressed it very clearly that the reason why he took out the note was because Lin Feng guided him well, in other words, this has nothing to do with Wang San's wishes, it is completely because Lin Feng is more able to ask than Zhou Helin, which makes Zhou Helin unable to get angry if he wants to.

My skills are not as good as others, what else is there to say?

Looking at Zhou Helin's depressed appearance, Zhang Yi and Gao Cheng couldn't help but glance at each other, before they had only heard that Lin Feng was very good at investigating the case, but when they saw it with their own eyes at this time, they knew where Lin Feng was powerful.

Zhou Helin's ability to investigate cases is not bad in the imperial court, but compared with Lin Feng, he can judge the superiority at a glance.

Gao Cheng's face became heavier and heavier, while Zhang Yi's expression flickered more and more as he looked at Lin Feng.

Zhou Helin took a deep breath, he looked at Lin Feng, and said, "I understand, so to speak, the person who pretended to be Wang Shaoqing at that time, his handwriting was not owned by the people in the palace, so he was not from the palace...... But we have already judged that the real murderer has the key to the ice vault and is very familiar with Wang Shaoqing's handwriting, so he must be a person in the palace, so Lin Sizheng used this to judge that the murderer was not a person, but someone in the palace colluded with outsiders? ”

"It is precisely because there are other people who cooperate that they can rest assured that they can do those complicated things in the freezer, without worrying about someone visiting Wang Shaoqing, because they already have someone hiding in the room?"

After all, Zhou Helin has rich experience in investigating cases, and after calming down, he quickly understood the meaning of Lin Feng's second reason.

It was also quickly judged that this was the result of collusion between the people of the palace and outsiders.

When everyone heard Zhou Helin's words, they all hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, even if what Zhou Helin said was reasonable, they still had to wait for Lin Feng's final confirmation.

"Zhou Xianling is really experienced, and he understands what I mean at a glance."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "But this is still an inference, so we need a third point to confirm!" ”

"And the third point is what happened the day after Wang Shaoqing was killed, that is, when the murderer pretended to be Wang Shaoqing and hid in this room."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Feng looked at the people in the palace and said slowly: "This official asked Li Sicheng to investigate your whereabouts that day, and after investigation, I learned that on that day, when Wang San sent food and medicine to Wang Shaoqing, everyone in your palace was with other people, that is to say, it is impossible for anyone in your palace to hide in this room." ”

"But the official has already judged that the real murderer is a person in the palace, so there can only be one result, that is, the murderer is two people, and the other person, let's call it an accomplice, he is not a person in the palace!"

Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's thoughts quickly surged, and after a long while, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

"It seems like that's really the case."

"So, there are really two murderers, and these two people are still colluding inside and outside our palace!"

"What a hate! It's not enough to brutally kill the master, but he even colludes with outsiders! ”

"Who are they? Why are you so cruel to the master! ”

The people of the palace were indignant and rebuked one after another.

Mrs. Wang's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, her heart was like a knife, the closer she got to the truth, the more sad she felt.

Zhou Helin couldn't help but sigh and said, "After receiving Lin Sizheng's notice and learning that the first night was the time of the crime, this official wanted to investigate the situation on the second day, but before I could complete the investigation, I was called by Lin Sizheng...... So much so that I now know that the next day there was no one without an alibi, and it turned out that there were really two murderers. ”

Lin Feng said: "The real murderer hiding in the palace is very cunning, he deliberately created many traps, in order to constantly interfere with our judgment, if we didn't determine that there were two murderers, there would really be no way to distinguish his tricks, and there would be no way to continue to advance the investigation of the case." ”

Zhou Helin agreed with Lin Feng's words, and he said: "Fortunately, Lin Sizheng was not deceived by him, and he still found out the fact that the two joined forces. ”

Lin Feng smiled, he turned his head to look at Gao Cheng, and said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing, now you can rest assured that Xia Guan has not lost the face of Dali Temple, right?" ”

When Gao Cheng heard this, his face couldn't help but stiffen, he was still questioning Lin Feng just now, but Lin Feng brushed out three reasons that people couldn't refute, which was obviously a slap in the face with facts.

But he couldn't shake his face yet, that would be tantamount to proving that he was deliberately embarrassing Lin Feng, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded: "Lin Si is doing a good job, and this official is completely relieved." ”

Lin Feng retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and he continued: "After confirming that the real murderer has an accomplice, the original problems that are difficult to explain will be easily solved, and at the same time, the direction of the investigation will be clear. ”

"So, after determining that the two committed the crime, my next step is to determine why they killed people and why they had to dig out their hearts after killing!"

Speaking of this, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "I believe that Zhou County Ling should have also thought about it, why did the murderer dig out his heart after killing someone, right?" ”

Zhou Helin nodded directly: "This is nature." ”

"What did the county magistrate think about that week?"

"I guess it's hate! The murderer has a grudge against Wang Shaoqing, and in order to vent his anger, it is not enough to kill people, so he will dig into his heart further. ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Zhou County Order is the same as I thought, then Zhou County Order can be judged because of what hatred?" ”

Zhou Helin shook his head, he frowned and said: "Unexpectedly, I asked Mrs. Wang about them, Wang Shaoqing has a good temper and has never had a grudge against anyone, so I can't judge what kind of hatred the murderer has with him, and if you don't kill enough, you have to dig your heart." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded hurriedly: "The husband has indeed never had a grudge against anyone, even if it is a subordinate in the house, the master has never beaten and scolded." ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "I also asked Mrs. Wang about this matter, but the answer given by Mrs. Wang obviously contradicts the results we judged. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "I'm not lying, the master really treats people well, this is something that everyone knows." ”

"Mrs. Wang, don't worry, this official doesn't mean to say that you are lying."

Lin Feng waved his hand, he looked at Mrs. Wang, who was anxiously explaining, and said slowly: "I mean, it is certain that the murderer has a grudge against Master Wang, but Mrs. Wang said no...... It was obvious that the murderer had a grudge against Wang Shaoqing, and Mrs. Wang didn't know. ”

"The concubine doesn't know?" Mrs. Wang was stunned.

Before she could figure out what she didn't know, she listened to Zhang Yi, who was listening quietly, and suddenly said, "Dossier? Lin Sizheng is talking about the case that Wang Shaoqing has broken, and it is possible that he has a grudge against the murderer? ”

"The case?" Everyone was stunned.

They hurriedly looked at Zhang Yi, and then listened to Zhang Yi say: "You don't know, Lin Sizheng specially asked people to transfer all the case files that Wang Shaoqing was mainly responsible for from Dali Temple, and Lin Sizheng just looked through the files motionlessly for more than an hour...... So I think if I have to find hatred, it should be the hatred between the person who adjudicates the case and the prisoner. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Sizheng, is it really?" ”

Gao Cheng also stared at Lin Feng directly, he now knew why Lin Feng had to transfer Wang Jian's file.

Lin Feng nodded slowly under the nervous gaze of everyone, and he said: "This official is also the one who decides the case, so this official knows very well that we are inherently hostile to the prisoners, even if we deal with them with the most just laws, their relatives and friends will also hate us." ”

"Therefore, Mrs. Wang said that Wang Shaoqing has no enemies, this sentence itself is not right, as a member of Dali Temple, who dares to say that he has not touched the case? Who dares to say that no one hates themselves? ”

Mrs. Wang's phoenix eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "Is that the case...... Is this murderer really the culprit of a certain case that the old man investigated? ”

Zhou Helin stared at Lin Feng tightly, he completely ignored this, but he also knew that even if he knew this, it would be difficult to find the corresponding case, after all, Wang Jian had investigated the cases over the years, if not hundreds, but dozens, and they had no more clues, if they wanted to find it, it was not only difficult to sum it up.

Gao Cheng stared at Lin Feng even more, he saw with his own eyes how Lin Feng looked through the file motionlessly, he didn't know what Lin Feng was going to do before, but now that he knew, he couldn't believe that Lin Feng could find the case he wanted.

Zhang Yi commented on Lin Feng's behavior at that time as difficult, and now it is difficult to come where he wants, it is simply impossible to do.

So Lin Feng can find out, is he really a human?

Finally, under the nervous gaze of everyone, Lin Feng's voice slowly sounded: "After ruling out many possibilities, this official suspects that the murderer has a grudge against Wang Shaoqing because of the case Wang Shaoqing was in charge of, so this official investigates these files." ”

"To be honest, there are a lot of these files, and each case is very complicated, and it is really difficult to find out the cases that have no more clues from them, but fortunately, ......"

Lin Feng's voice changed and he smiled lightly: "This official is lucky, among the many files, he found a case that is somewhat similar to this case. ”

"Similar to this case?"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, he frowned and said: "Xiaguan has read these files, but there doesn't seem to be a case in any file, saying that someone is frozen after being killed, or digging out his heart after being killed, right?" ”

Gao Cheng shook his head directly: "It's really not, this official has also read these files, and there is no resemblance to the case of Wang Shaoqing's murder at all." ”

"No!"

Seeing that the two of them refuted him, Lin Feng slowly shook his head and said, "What I said is somewhat similar, I am not referring to the modus operandi, not the death of the deceased, and whether the heart was dug out after death. ”

"So what's the resemblance?" Gao Cheng said coldly: "Whether a case is similar or not, isn't it the modus operandi of the real murderer?" Isn't that what happened to the dead? These two are different, and what are the similarities. ”

Zhang Yi and Zhou Helin also looked at Lin Feng.

Then he saw Lin Feng take out a file from his arms, he raised the file in his hand, and said calmly: "In this file, it talks about the murder of a six-rank official. ”

"This official is an official of the Shaofu Prison, he was killed in the post station three months ago one night, it stands to reason that a six-grade official was killed, and it was not the turn of the Shaoqing who was the fourth grade to go out in person, but the official of the Shaofu Prison was ordered to perform the task at the time, and was killed during the return, which is equivalent to the killing of the Qincha, His Majesty was very angry, Zhuo Ling Dali Temple investigated, and at that time everyone had a task, only Wang Shaoqing was temporarily fine, so the case fell on Wang Shaoqing's head."

Gao Cheng frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "When you say this, the official remembers this case, but this case is nothing, right?" This is because the people under him have different intentions, and they accidentally killed the master after being discovered by the master...... It only took Wang Shaoqing three days to investigate clearly, and the official also read the file, and there was no problem. ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Indeed, this case looks very simple to Gao Shaoqing, and it is indeed very simple, but Gao Shaoqing may have ignored that when Wang Shaoqing was sentenced, he not only beheaded the murderer's subordinates, but also beheaded one of the attendants of the post station." ”

"Beheaded the attendants of the post station as well?" Zhou Helin was puzzled: "Why? ”

Lin Feng said: "Because the murderous subordinate confessed to the post station attendant when he was interrogated, he said that after killing someone, he spent a lot of money to bribe the post station attendant, let him help deal with the scene, and give false testimony for him. ”

When Gao Cheng heard Lin Feng say this, he also remembered this stubble, and he said: "As a post station attendant, he usually has to entertain officials who come and go, if they are all as wealthy as him and have no bottom line, then what is the safety of the officials?" Therefore, Wang Shaoqing was punished heavily, and there was no problem. ”

"If he is really a money obsesser, deliberately perjury, and has no bottom line, then it is indeed not a pity for him to die, but what if he is not?"

"What?" Gao was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "At the end of the file, there is their result, the subordinate who committed the murder has been beheaded and shown to the public, and the post attendant ......"

He took a deep breath and said, "He was not beheaded, not because he was punished lightly, but because he committed suicide in fear of his guilt when he was in prison...... The way he committed suicide in fear of sin was to break the bowl and stab the heart with the sharp fragments of the bowl, and at the same time left a line of bloody last words - if there is a day of revenge in the next life, look at your black heart and red heart! Injustice! Injustice! Injustice! ”

"Wrong? Injustice? Injustice? ”

Zhou Helin frowned and said, "Could it be that he was wronged?" ”

Gao Cheng sneered: "What is wronged? found gold and silver jewelry in his room that didn't belong to him, and he was obviously unwilling to be found out like this, and he was unwilling to die like this, so he specially used this method to find trouble for Wang Shaoqing! ”

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment: "Is this so?" ”

Lin Feng said slowly: "It is true that physical evidence has been found, but whether the truth is like this or not, the official can't conclude from this...... And what the official wants to say is not whether he is wronged, but what the official is talking about is the situation of this case. ”

"Think about it...... The final result of this case was actually that the official's subordinates killed someone, and then colluded with outsiders to fake the scene in an attempt to escape justice...... So, you see, is this very similar to this case? Is it the result of internal and external collusion to kill? ”

"This ......" Gao Cheng hesitated.

Lin Feng said again: "Also, let's think back to the blood words left by the post attendant, what did he say?" He said, 'If there is a day of revenge in the next life, look at your black heart and red heart,' look at your black heart and red heart,' and look at your black heart and red heart......"

Lin Feng suddenly accentuated his tone, looked at everyone with his eyes, lowered his tone and said quietly: "You say...... What is he going to think of the black heart and the red heart? ”
