Chapter 274: Seeing Through the Tricks of the Four Elephants! The tide is turning!
Chang'an City, a mansion with magnificent buildings and luxurious decoration.
A man dressed in gray walked briskly through the corridor and into a beautiful garden.
He raised his head and searched for it, then hurriedly ran to the lake like a trot, bowed down and said, "Master, Kuisu has sent a message and wants to see the master." ”
After speaking, the man in gray lowered his head and waited quietly for a reply, but after a long while, no sound sounded, which made him unconsciously and secretly raise his head.
In his sight, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and with a sturdy body was sitting on a stone next to the lake, holding a fishing rod and leisurely fishing, his right thumb had a transparent and clear jade wrench, shining dazzling under the sun, and there was a fish basket at his feet, at this time, the fish tail was thrown out of the fish basket, splashing rain-like droplets.
The middle-aged man stared at the lake calmly, his whole body motionless, as if he hadn't heard the words of the man in gray, which made the man in gray can't help but say, "Master? ”
"Nope."
Finally, a voice without any emotion slowly sounded: "Waste has no value, let him find someone else to take in his useless dog." ”
The man in gray heard his master's dislike, and hurriedly lowered his head, and at the same time couldn't help but curse Kui Su a few words in his heart, if he hadn't had some friendship with Kui Su, he wouldn't have handed this sentence for Kui Su if he didn't say anything, Kui Su used to look very capable, how could he behave so badly this time, the Star Palace gave Kui Su so much support, not to mention whether he killed Lin Feng or not, Kui Su didn't even hurt Lin Feng a single hair, which made his master very dissatisfied, so that he just handed over a sentence, and he was angry.
The gray-clothed man's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said yes.
The man in gray hurriedly said: "Needless to say, Li Shimin is waiting for Lin Feng's results, Lin Feng must also be anxious to solve the case as soon as possible, and at this time, the evidence he needs has appeared, he will definitely be overjoyed and hurry up to arrest Li Tai to close the case!" But he didn't know ......."
The man in gray grinned: "And at that time, any case judgment like a god, any first detective of the Tang Dynasty, will become a laughing stock!" Lin Feng will not only be ruined, but will also fall into the abyss because he mistakenly caught Li Shimin's favorite son! The enemies who have ruined many of our Star Palace's plans will also disappear completely! ”
The man in the fancy dress nodded with satisfaction, he looked at the wrinkled lake blown by the breeze, and said with a smile: "I have always heard that Lin Feng is like a god in solving cases, and any difficult and unsolved cases will not be difficult for him...... This time I'm going to see if he's really as good as the rumors. ”
Hearing this, the voice of the man in Chinese clothes finally changed slightly, and said, "It hasn't been long since King Yue was called to the East Palace, right?" I didn't expect Lin Feng to target Zhang Mo so quickly, he really deserved his reputation. ”
Listening to the words of his henchmen, the man in the fancy suit laughed, and his smile made the fish that was already close to his bait directly scared away, but he didn't care.
"Still."
He didn't dare to intercede for Kui Su anymore, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Master, Lin Feng has new news, he asked Li Zhen to send Qianniuwei to Yue Wangfu to bring Zhang Mo to interrogate." ”
"When all the evidence he needs is put in front of him, you say...... What will he do? ”
The man in the fancy costume ignored the flattery of his subordinates, and said slowly: "It's all dealt with, right?" ”
"What?" The man in gray was stunned for a moment, he thought he had misheard.
He thought for a while, made up for his previous mistakes, and continued: "I think that he Kuisu has spent so much manpower and material resources in the Star Palace, and he has not hurt Lin Feng a single hair, but the master just used a little trick to let Lin Feng be ruined in the field he is best at, and there is no place to die. ”
The man in Chinese clothes said coldly: "Don't mention that waste in front of me again." ”
The man in gray raised his head, looked at the master in front of him with awe, and said, "All this is a great gift from the master, and this great gift can kill him." ”
"Don't worry, master, once Lin Feng closes the case and arrests Li Tai, his subordinates will immediately report to the master, and at that time, we can send the truth to the East Palace."
The man in gray hurriedly flattered: "But no matter how good Lin Feng is, he can't compete with the master's foresight, Lin Feng would never have imagined that the master would be earlier than he thought, and he had already prepared everything for him in advance." ”
"Don't worry, master, Zhang Mo has died according to the plan, even if Lin Feng finds him, the result can only be to find a corpse and a suicide note that can be called perfect evidence."
The man in gray hurriedly said: "The master still thinks too highly of Lin Feng, he was an ant beggar a few months ago, and it is already a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes to get the master to make a slight move." ”
"If I can kill him, it won't be in vain for me to bother a little, but if he really dies because of this, to be honest, I will be a little disappointed, after all, there is more to me than I have for him."
Who knows, the man in the Chinese costume suddenly changed his voice and said: "Even if it is waste, when the great cause of the Star Palace is about to be achieved, it can still be reused...... Go and call him. ”
The man in the fancy costume bowed slightly, and it was rare to recognize the flattery of his subordinates, and he said lightly: "Go ahead, continue to keep an eye on the East Palace, but if there is any news about Lin Feng, let me know as soon as possible." ”
It wasn't until the man in the costume was silent that he reacted, which made him feel shocked, not because his master had changed his mind to see Kuisu, but because of all this...... It was all in Kuisu's expectations.
When Kui Su asked him, he said that he had a conflict with his master, and his master would definitely sneer at him and not see him, but as long as he brought up the topic of dealing with Lin Feng, his master would definitely see him in order to show the gap between the two...... Unexpectedly, it was really said right by Kuisu.
This made him feel in his heart that Kuisu didn't seem to be as unbearable as he imagined, but how could such a Kuisu lose to Lin Feng so badly?
He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay, and quickly nodded yes, and then left quickly.
…………
At the same time, the front hall of the East Palace.
The tension in the main hall reached its peak at this moment.
Li Zhen stared at Li Tai tightly, he didn't relax his vigilance at all because of Li Tai's justification, he held the handle of the knife in one hand and the paper in the other, not giving Li Tai a chance to snatch Zhang Mo's last words at all, let alone giving Li Tai any possibility of escaping from the hall, and the whole person was completely blocked by the way Li Tai left.
His behavior obviously regarded Li Tai as a suspect in the murder of Li Chengqian, and even some people believed that Li Tai was the murderer.
This made Li Tai both angry and very panicked, he didn't expect that he would be backstabbed by the people in his own mansion, so that the heart-wrenching suicide note given by Zhang Mo made his mind blank for a while, and he didn't know what to do at all, so he could only scold Zhang Mo's slave angrily, while constantly telling Lin Feng that he was wronged to try to reverse the situation.
When Sun Fujia saw this scene, his brows couldn't help frowning, he felt that the truth seemed to come a little too easily and too quickly, Lin Feng basically hadn't checked it yet, the most important witness came, with this suicide note, and then a series of suspicious behaviors of Li Tai in front of him, even if Li Tai was convicted, it was not impossible.
But he knew that behind this case, there was the Four Elephants Organization, and the case that the Four Elephants Organization had worked so hard to create could really be solved so easily?
For a while, Sun Fujia didn't dare to easily judge whether the truth was really the case, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, what do you think?" ”
Hearing Sun Fujia's words, Li Zhen and Li Tai also subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng is the person in charge of investigating this case, and his words have the power of a final word.
If he said that Li Tai was the murderer, then Li Tai would definitely not be able to leave the East Palace today.
"Lin Sizheng, you have to believe me, Zhang Mo really deliberately framed me, I really didn't murder my brother!" Li Tai no longer despised Lin Feng because of Lin Feng's low grade, he shouted to Lin Feng as if he had grasped the last straw.
"His Royal Highness King Yue, don't worry."
Finally, Lin Feng's voice sounded slowly, he looked at Li Zhen and said, "Li Qianniu, can you let this official see Zhang Mo's suicide note?" ”
Li Zhen nodded: "Of course." ”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to hand the paper to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the paper, carefully read Zhang Mo's suicide note, and after confirming that the content on the suicide note was consistent with what Li Zhen said, he bowed slightly, and then saw him reverse the paper so that Li Tai could also see the content on the paper, and he said: "His Royal Highness King Yue, please confirm, is the handwriting on this Zhang Mo's handwriting?" ”
Li Tai gritted his teeth, and his angry voice seemed to spit out from between his teeth: "It's this wolf-hearted guy!" ”
Then he changed his voice and hurriedly explained to Lin Feng: "But the content in this is all fake, the cuckoo bird was recommended by him to buy it, what powder to put on the bird, I have never done it, Lin Sizheng, you have to believe me." ”
Lin Feng said: "His Royal Highness King Yue, you have also seen the content here, Zhang Mo not only said what you did in the suicide note, but also said where you hid the powder, what he said was clear-eyed, and you turned it over and turned it upside down There is only one sentence that makes me believe you...... Evidence is needed to investigate the case, Zhang Mo provided evidence, and you only have empty words, how can I believe you. ”
When Li Tai heard this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he was already panicked in his heart, and he was even more aware.
Looking at Li Tai's reaction, Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly...... Li Shimin really spoils Li Tai too much, and protects Li Tai so well that when he encounters this bit of wind and rain, he has completely lost his cool, so he still wants to hide his thoughts in front of Li Shimin?
Lin Feng naturally knew that Li Tai was fine, but he deliberately didn't say that, in order to naturally make Li Tai completely lose his cool, so as to ask the question that Li Tai had been hiding before.
He turned his head to look at Qian Niuwei who came over with the suicide note, and said, "After you saw the suicide note, did you follow the contents of the suicide note to find the mysterious powder?" ”
Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes quickly turned to Qianniuwei's body, and Li Tai stared at Qianniuwei even more nervously.
Then, they saw this Qianniuwei nodded, took out a paper bag from his arms, and said: "According to the content of the suicide note, we went to search, and found this paper bag in the mezzanine of the bookshelf in the study of His Royal Highness King Yue. ”
"Impossible! You guys are talking nonsense! I've never seen this paper bag before, it's not mine at all! Li Tai's eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head in denial.
Qian Niuwei said: "This is the last general and more than a dozen other people to search together, and the guards of the Yue Wang's Mansion are witnessing, and they can all prove that this paper bag is indeed hidden in the study of His Royal Highness the King of Yue." ”
"How so!?" Li Tai was directly stunned in place.
"What's in there?" Sun Fujia couldn't help but ask.
Qianniuwei said: "It's empty, there's nothing in it." ”
"Empty?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng said, "Show me." ”
Qian Niu Wei hurriedly handed the paper bag to Lin Feng, Lin Feng opened the paper bag, looked inside, and sure enough, as Qian Niu Wei said, the paper bag was empty.
However, on the surface of the paper, you can still see a little white powder sticking to it, and it is obvious that it was originally filled with some kind of white powder.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, he turned his head to look at Li Tai, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yue, the content of Zhang Mo's suicide note has been verified, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Li Tairu was struck by lightning, and his face turned pale and shook his head: "Framed!" He must have framed me on purpose! ”
"Framed?" Lin Feng said: "Zhang Mo has a grudge against His Royal Highness King Yue? But just now, His Royal Highness the King of Yue said that you followed Zhang Mo's advice and chose the cuckoo bird to be sent to His Royal Highness the Prince...... Since Zhang Mo can give advice to His Royal Highness King Yue, I think His Royal Highness King Yue should still trust him, right? If you have a grudge, Your Highness probably won't follow his advice, right? ”
"I ......"
Li Tai opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Lin Feng saw that Li Tai's mentality was close to collapse, and he didn't delay any longer, and finally started his own questioning, he said, "I don't know how long Zhang Mo has been with His Royal Highness King Yue?" How did he perform? ”
In order to gain Lin Feng's trust, Li Tai did not hide it: "He has been with me for three years, he can speak well, has a clever mind, and does everything very neatly, so I will reuse him, but who knows, he will repay me like this, and he will harm me!" If I had known that he was such a man with evil intentions, I would not have reused him at all. ”
I have been with Li Tai for three years, which is not a long time, but it is not difficult to gain the trust of a simple-minded person like Li Tai who is well protected.
Lin Feng continued: "His Royal Highness King Yue said that the cuckoo bird was Zhang Mo's suggestion to you, why would he make such a suggestion? I don't think he would suddenly say that he wanted His Highness to send a cuckoo to the crown prince for no reason, right? ”
"This ......," Li Tai looked a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lin Feng said directly: "His Royal Highness King Yue...... You keep saying that you want me to believe in you, but when you encounter my problems, you hesitate and hide them, how can I believe you? ”
"Zhang Mo's suicide note has physical evidence, plus the cuckoo bird sent by His Royal Highness King Yue also died strangely, all of this is exactly the same as what Zhang Mo said, according to the normal regulations, I can already convict His Highness, but His Highness said that you were wronged, so I am willing to give Your Highness another chance, but His Highness is unwilling to answer my question head-on...... Your Highness, are you going to give up the opportunity I have given you? ”
Li Tai looked panicked and hurriedly said, "Of course not." ”
"Then please don't hide anything from me!" Lin Feng looked at Li Tai solemnly and said, "If His Highness is really framed, His Highness can't hide anything from me, otherwise, because His Highness conceals it, I can't find out the truth, and in the end, it will only His Highness himself!" ”
Li Tai opened his mouth, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "Because Zhang Mo took me to watch a play a few days ago." ”
"Play?" Lin Feng asked, "What play?" ”
Li Tai lowered his head, his face was a little ugly, and said: "A revenge scene, the cause of this scene, is that a righteous son in order to compete for family wealth, taking advantage of his brother's illness, sent someone to kidnap his sister-in-law, and killed his sister-in-law, his brother learned of this bad news, his condition worsened, and he died, this righteous son robbed Wanguan of family wealth, but his brother had a son, lucky to escape, and after learning the truth, he took revenge on this righteous son......"
Listening to Li Tai's narration of the good play, Lin Feng's heart suddenly moved.
Therefore, Li Tai will send the cuckoo bird in order to emulate that righteous son, and take advantage of his brother's illness to stimulate Li Chengqian, hoping that Li Chengqian's condition will worsen, and even die with a whimper?
If this is the case, Li Tai's starting point is to make Li Chengqian feel bad, then his various abnormal behaviors are very reasonable.
But he didn't expect that his ill intentions would be used by the Four Elephants Organization instead.
He originally wanted to make Li Chengqian's condition worse, so all his reactions, all his performances, showed his humility, the only difference between him and the murderer was that he didn't really attack Li Chengqian, but other than that, his goals, all his behaviors, were no different from those of the murderer.
Therefore, all the suspicions are pointed directly at Li Tai, and with Zhang Mo's backstabbing, how can Li Tai have a good end?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly looked at Li Tai and said, "So His Royal Highness King Yue chose to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the night before yesterday, because Zhang Mo found the cuckoo bird for you the day before yesterday?" ”
Li Tai pursed his lips and nodded silently.
And so it was!
The reason why Li Tai chose the cuckoo bird, and the time when he came to visit Li Chengqian, were not chosen by him on his own initiative, but were completely calculated by someone with a scene and a bird.
"It's really calculating, just a seemingly inconsequential scene, an ordinary bird, calculated the dignified Yue King, and let him show the guilt of the murderer, so that Li Tai became a scapegoat...... No, their goal is not to make Lee Tae a scapegoat, but to make Lee Tae a prisoner with ironclad evidence in my eyes! They're going to use this scene and the bird to kill me!! ”
Lin Feng couldn't help but look outside the hall, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he only felt that the world outside the hall had become a little clearer at this moment, and he finally spied a corner of the truth from the thick fog created by the people behind the scenes.
Lin Feng suddenly smiled.
Not surprisingly, he believed that the people behind the scenes were watching him at the moment, ready to watch him jump into the trap he had created, and then laugh at himself.
It's a pity that he has already seen through his tricks, not only can he not see his jokes, but he will let himself find the direction to track him down because of the great gift he gave...... From this moment on, the situation was reversed.
