Chapter 68: Lies

Since this He Qizuo has begun, he went on to say that his grandfather, his father and him, the three of them have seen not a thousand corpses falling from a high place, but also seven or eight hundred, some of which have their heads shattered, some of them have been torn apart, and some have even been broken in two, and it is really very rare for them to fall face down and fall to the ground with their chests on their faces.

And judging from his rich experience in examining corpses, the injuries on Wu Bo's body were very similar to being hit on his chest by a high-speed heavy thing flying from the front. He Chengzuo once stayed in Yunzhou on the border for a while, when the Xirong people once came to attack the city, and those barbarians who were besieging the city were smashed to the chest by the rolling wooden stones on the city wall, or the stones thrown by the trebuchet hit the chest, which was very similar to the injuries on the old butler's body.

Of course, how could there be a rolling wood and a trebuchet in the Hou Mansion? Therefore, when He Qizuo said these words, he also said them as a joke. As for whether the smiling Lin Fengjin listened to it as a joke, that was another matter.

The Hou Mansion was naturally a gloomy fog, and most of the people went to the villa to escape the summer, and the people who stayed behind were even more at risk, doubling the cold.

Lin Fengjin first went to the garden, as if he had expected it in advance, and found nothing. Although the five gods in Lin Fengjin's body awakened, his essence was just an ordinary person whose five senses were stronger than ordinary people, not superhuman or perverted, and it was impossible to know the truth of the Dao as soon as he came.

Then Lin Fengjin went to the stable, and the stable also didn't get any clues, after all, time had been too long.

The last place to go is where Wu Bo had an accident, he fell from the star-picking tower of the Hou Mansion, and the star-picking tower is used for banquets and entertainment, but in the near future, the Hou Mansion does not have this corresponding plan, I don't know what the old man of Lu Dao ran to do there, and then I don't know why he fell from such a high place.

Lin Fengjin looked at the place where he fell to his death. After being silent for a while, he looked up at it and said:

"I'll have to go up and have a look. ”

Of course, there is nothing to say about this request, but when Lin Fengjin walked to the top of the Star Picking Tower, he found that this was a very luxuriously decorated hall, but there were many sub-boxes next to it, and it was obvious that at the beginning of the banquet, the host would call out the singer to perform in the hall, and as the banquet progressed, it became deeper and deeper. Naturally, some lewd things will happen, and this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone to prostitute in public, so these sub-boxes are convenient for them to do some lewd things.

The window where Uncle Wu jumped was open in a small box, not in the hall.

This is good news, Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up, there is no doubt that the small space has a great help in preserving some special smells.

Apparently someone has already been here, so the furnishings in the box are rather messy. Lin Fengjin walked to the window, looked carefully, and suddenly waved his hand, asking the idlers to wait for him. Then he said to Li Hu with a solemn face:

"Uncle Wu shouldn't have jumped off by himself. ”

Li Hu said in a deep voice:

"Oh?"

Lin Fengjin pointed to the window and said:

"Uncle Wu is already an old man, with a rickety figure, if he wants to jump, there must be a process of climbing on the windowsill to jump. It's impossible to jump over, but if you look at it, the decoration in this box is unusually gorgeous. The cork wood that decorates the edges of the window frames is beautifully carved, and even exudes a faint fragrance, but it is not hard, and marks can be carved with fingernails. If Uncle Wu had climbed on the windowsill, then when his weight was placed on one foot, it would be impossible not to leave marks on the window frame. But in fact, if you look at the window frame, there is not a trace of it. ”

Li Hu heard Lin Fengjin's inference, and immediately said in horror:

"So he was pushed down?"

Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes and said sharply:

"If a person is pushed down alive, knowing that he will die, then it is impossible to be without struggle, and there will be traces on the window frame, so this Uncle Wu must have been in a very bad situation before he was withdrawn, either he was knocked unconscious, or drunk, or drugged"

"However, these behaviors can be said to be traceable, I believe that if the truth is the case, then your subordinates should be able to find out, if you are knocked unconscious, it is impossible to have no injuries on the head, if you are drunk, the smell of alcohol must not be erased, if you are drugged, I believe that your subordinates must also know the severity of the way, and will definitely not ignore this key point during the autopsy. But Wu Bo only had a fatal injury on his body, and what was even more peculiar was that he felt that this injury was not like jumping off a building and falling like this. ”

Li Hu gasped and said:

"Then young master, do you mean that Uncle Wu was killed first, and his fatal injury was that his sternum collapsed, and then he was thrown from the top of this star-picking tower, so that the rest of the people misunderstood that Uncle Wu committed suicide and jumped to his death?"

Lin Fengjin said lightly:

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems like this. ”

Li Hu couldn't help but say:

"But young master, don't forget, you said that Uncle Wu's injury is very similar to an injury caused by a rolling wood or a trebuchet, how could someone else suffer such a blow in the Hou Mansion, this is too outrageous. ”

Lin Fengjin shook his head slightly:

"Is there one less outrageous thing in this bullshit Hou Mansion, what's the big deal if you add one more. ”

The two of them stood in this magnificent box, silently looking at the exquisite window railing, Lin Fengjin suddenly said slowly:

"I suddenly realize now that the water in this case is very deep, the prefect of Xiangfan is really sick, do you see if you can be sick for a few months?"

Li Hu smiled bitterly:

"My current situation can no longer be described as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, my foundation is too shallow, as if I am standing in the rapids, behind me is the waterfall pouring down, if I take a step back, it is likely to be crushed!"

Lin Fengjin was silent for a while and said:

"It's because I can't think about it, after this matter is over, you will immediately use all your relationships to release it, and you must strive for real power and elite soldiers under your hands. If you really can't do it, just save your life! In the middle of the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is not a big problem for me to find a position for you to lead a battalion. ”

Li Hu's eyes lit up and said:

"It's good. ”

However, Li Hu was embarrassed:

"However, what should I do if I don't say anything, it's at least five or six hundred thousand taels of silver a year, right? If I want to go out, who can carry this burden?"

Lin Fengjin shook his head and said:

"We don't rely on non-verbal benefits as the main source now, so it's time to let go, this kind of thing is actually a taboo for the superiors, and you don't know the way in private, some people even call it a small official, sooner or later, this word will reach Liu Qu's ears one day, and if you want to withdraw at that time, it will be too late. ”

Li Hu really didn't expect Lin Fengjin to be broken to such an extent, he suddenly stood up, shook his shoulders very loosely, twisted his neck and said:

"If we want to get rid of the unspeakable, then this case can be left alone! I feel happy at the thought of not having to face this bullshit marquis. ”

Lin Fengjin sneered:

Since this Linhou Wu Ling wants us to find out the truth of the facts, then send the truth to him to see if he dares to announce it?"

Li Hu chewed the meaning of Lin Fengjin's words, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed:

"Really?"

Lin Fengjin sneered:

"Wu Bo was obviously pushed down from the star-picking tower after his death, why did the Hou Mansion actually spread the news of this meritorious old minister's corruption and bribery, and the evidence is conclusive? This is undoubtedly an attempt to set people's minds towards fear of crime and suicide. Two points can be deduced from that. First, most of the people in the Hou Mansion knew the cause of Wu Bo's death, and second, the real cause of Wu Bo's death would have an adverse and serious impact on the Hou Mansion. ”

Li Hu had the demeanor of a general at this time, and couldn't help but be stunned:

"Then, Uncle Wu has been in the Hou Mansion for forty or fifty years, and his status can be said to be extremely high, and the person who can accuse Lu Weima of framing him for corruption, and also come up with conclusive evidence, can only be Linhou Wu Ling and His Royal Highness the eldest son! This is a thief shouting to catch a thief! Could it be that the murderers are the two of them?"

Lin Fengjin suddenly said:

"Since there are only people left in this mansion, and the main family has gone to the summer resort, can we go in and out of the rooms in this villa at will?"

Li Hudao:

"Yes, young master, where do you want to go?"

Lin Fengjin thought about it carefully and said:

"Go to the place where Linhou Wu Ling and his eldest son, His Royal Highness Le, usually stay the most. ”

Li Hu called someone to ask a few words and said:

"Then I must go to the bedroom to have a look, and then I heard that the father and son have been obsessed with mercury burning alchemy in recent years, so they usually spend a lot of time in the Dan room. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go to these two places. ”

The two of them naturally went to the Hou Ye's bedroom study first, but they were stopped by the housekeeper and did not let them in, Li Hu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and kicked it up, crackling a few slaps and slapping his eyes, and at the same time Li Hu said coldly:

"For the sake of your Hou Mansion's case, this official has been demoted to three levels in a row! At this time, I suspect that the murderer is lurking in the study of the Hou Ye and the little Hou Ye, if you tell me the whereabouts of the real murderer, the official will naturally not go anywhere, if you stop the official again, it will be to cover the same party, first go to the yamen to eat three hundred kills!"

At this time, the new housekeeper dared to say more than half a word, so he could only limp and cry to open the door. (To be continued......)
