When Ye Feng and the others returned to the Qianguo Mansion, Mu Sheng entered the palace to face the saint, and he was not in the mansion.

In fact, this is exactly what Ye Feng wants, this seems to be enthusiastic and easy-going Grandpa Mu, there are some things on his body that can't be seen clearly, which makes Ye Feng feel a little uneasy. What he discovered this time is too significant, and it may be better not to let him know it for the time being.

As soon as Ye Feng entered the mansion, he went straight to the guest room where Cheng Nianzhen lived, Tie Wuru and the two righteous brothers were inexplicable, so they could only follow him closely.

Since the beginning of the kitchen in the Drunken Immortal Building, Ye Feng's performance has been a little abnormal, he looks like he can't give up, and he even eats a few bites indiscriminately, which makes Tie Wuru and Zhang Fatzi, two foodies who originally wanted to take the opportunity to feast in the famous Drunken Immortal Building, also feel disappointed.

However, looking at Ye Feng's reaction, he must have discovered something, and it must be something very important, he had never seen him so nervous before. Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Fatzi glanced at each other, the two of them had the same feeling, perhaps, the truth of this bizarre case was about to come to the surface.

When she came to the door of the guest room, before she had time to knock on the door, Cheng Nianzhen in the room opened the door first, and it seemed that she had been waiting for their arrival.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Feng looked at Cheng Nianzhen anxiously and asked, "How is it?"

Cheng Nianzhen nodded: "As expected, that pot of Eight Immortals crossing the sea was mixed with drugs, and the main ingredient was made of warbler corn. ”

Zhang Fatzi was taken aback: "So it's the drug of the Yunnan voodoo clan recorded in the ancient books?"

Cheng Nianzhen thought for a while and replied: "I haven't seen the voodoo drug, so it's hard to judge, but judging from the composition of the drug, it should be similar." ”

She then turned her head and asked Ye Feng, "How is it, have you found anything?"

Ye Feng didn't speak, just nodded, then turned around and carefully checked the outside of the door, and after making sure that there was no one else, he closed the door.

His series of pretended mysterious actions made everyone feel very strange, but they knew that what he was going to talk about next must be very important, and they all looked at him a little nervously at the moment.

Ye Feng turned around, lowered his voice and said, "We went to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to investigate the relevant situation of Qian Jia, but we made an unexpected discovery. ”

Cheng Nianzhen asked, "What did you find?"

Xie Zhenliang, Zhang Fatzi and Tie Wuru looked at each other, and it seemed that even they didn't know what they had discovered.

Ye Feng said a little mysteriously: "There is a cook in the Drunken Immortal Mansion who is missing!"

The three of them were all stunned, what kind of discovery was this? Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but speak: "There are people in the restaurant who are haunted by ghosts, and people are panicking, so it's not strange that some people have jumped jobs and left? Not to mention, there is more than one chef who left. ”

Ye Feng shook his head: "The other chefs who left all went to other restaurants, only this one is said to have been poached by a big family at a high price, and no one has ever seen him or heard of him again." Moreover, the day he left happened to be the tenth day after Qian Jia's death, what happened on that day?"

Tie Wulu's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "That night, Sun Dianchen held a banquet at home and was killed by a powerful ghost!"

After saying that, including himself, everyone was shocked.

But Cheng Nianzhen didn't show a trace of surprise, but asked thoughtfully: "Is the missing cook tall and burly, and his left index finger has been cut off?"

Ye Feng looked at her, with a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Not bad." ”

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but ask Cheng Nianzhen in shock, "How do you know?"

Cheng Nianzhen said lightly: "Because these are the characteristics of the headless corpse we inspected in Jingzhao Yin Yamen in the morning. ”

What the!

Except for Ye Feng, the other three were all shocked, how could this be possible!

Ye Feng looked at the surprise on their faces as usual, and said: "In fact, when we examined the corpse, we found that Sun Dianchen was born as a military general, and he was famous for his ability to splash wind and fast knives, and he practiced martial arts all year round, but he didn't find calluses on his palms, which is already a suspicious point." We also found that the left finger of the corpse had some old cut wounds, and the middle finger was cut off. In addition, his arms were covered with small burns, which I couldn't figure out at the time. ”

He raised his head and looked at everyone and said, "It wasn't until I heard that Xiao Er tell me that the middle finger of the missing cook's left hand had also been cut off in the kitchen of the Drunken Immortal Building, and I finally understood after looking at the hands of other chefs." The scars on the left fingers of the corpse are due to the fact that when I was learning to cook, I first learned to cut the left fingers, and it was inevitable to cut the left fingers when I was not skilled at the beginning, and the disability of the middle finger was also caused by this. Later, when the skills became proficient, they naturally stopped cutting their fingers, so those cutting scars were old scars. ”

It seemed that this made sense, and Tie ruthlessly asked, "And what about the burns on the corpse's arms, and how did they cause it?"

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "The chef fries and stir-fries every day, the hot oil splashes, you can go and see, almost all the chefs have traces of burning with hot oil on their arms." ”

Tie Ruthless stopped talking, this seems reasonable, so is this corpse really not Sun Dianchen?

Ye Feng looked at their expressions, understood the suspicion in their hearts, and said slowly: "Let's assume first, this deceased person is not Sun Dianchen, but the cook of the Drunken Immortal Mansion who is of the same stature as him, and is also tall and burly. First of all, it can be explained why the head was eaten by wild dogs, but it was still placed upright in front of the grave of Sun Dianchen's deceased wife, because it was not caused by wild dogs gnawing at all, but artificially made so blurry and difficult to distinguish, after all, although he and Sun Dianchen were similar in stature, their faces were different after all. ”

Everyone nodded, and Ye Feng continued: "The second is that Miss Cheng found that the stomach of the corpse was full of rice, and it is speculated that he should have been eating when he died, and Sun Dianchen is said to have been on the feast when he died, so it should be wine and meat in his stomach." ”

He glanced at Tie Ruthless and said: "Lord Tie should remember that Lord Yang Wenchang Yang once said at that time that he found that there was something wrong with the blood stains on the table in front of the deceased at the scene of the crime, and it was not a splash that should have been presented, but drops as if someone had deliberately sprinkled them." ”

Iron nodded ruthlessly, of course he remembered.

Ye Feng said categorically: "Based on these two points, I can conclude that the deceased is neither Sun Dianchen nor died at the feast. Maybe he was just finished busy at the time, and he was eating in the kitchen or somewhere else, since he was a chef with a low status, he naturally couldn't eat big fish and meat, but mainly rice. Someone took advantage of his unpreparedness and cut off his head with a knife, then changed into Sun Dianchen's clothes, moved the body to the feast, and made the death that everyone saw later. ”

Ye Feng paused and said, "There is another circumstantial evidence here, which is the question raised by Lord Yang Wenchang Yang before about having two fried kidney slices under a plate of chicken. ”

Tie was ruthlessly stunned, he had always felt that it was strange for Yang Wenchang to entangle this question, so he asked, "Could it be that the plate containing the chicken has not been cleaned?"

Ye Feng said with a straight face: "In the dignified third-grade military attaché's mansion, there are so many servants and subordinates, how is this possible? There are two stir-fried waist slices at the bottom of the plate, because it was originally a plate of fried waist slices. ”

Tie Ruthless didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly: "Because it was replaced." This chef's most famous dish in Zuixian Lou is this stir-fried loin, and it has become a must in the capital, and no one can beat it. So since he arrived at Sun Dianchen's mansion, this specialty dish is indispensable at the feast. However, some people did not want us to know that this cook had come to Sun Dianchen's house this night, and did not want us to doubt the identity of the deceased from this point, so after arranging the scene of Sun Dianchen's murder, he poured out the stir-fried loin slices and refilled the chicken. It's a pity that he didn't find that there were two pieces of loin that were not poured clean and stuck to the bottom of the plate, so it became the chicken in Lord Yang's mouth, and there were two fried loin slices underneath. ”

Iron Ruthless and they were all dumbfounded, from the small two pieces of fried waist slices, they were able to deduce such a series of things, which was indeed amazing.

After a moment, Tie ruthlessly said: "It still doesn't make sense, there are so many guests at that banquet, how can no one see the corpses?

Ye Feng groaned and said, "At that time, the guests on the table all shared this Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, but Miss Cheng found out that it was mixed with drugs in the residue. Although I don't know exactly what method they used, there must have been some way to make everyone in this room hallucinate the same, and everyone saw the so-called ghost killing. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Cheng Nianzhen, and she nodded thoughtfully: "Of course this is possible in theory." ”

Tie Wuru suddenly asked: "So Qian Jia's case may also be that someone put drugs on it, so that the dozen or so people present saw the illusion?"

Ye Feng said: "Lord Yang once said that he examined the scene of Qian Jia's murder, whether it was the layout of the scene or the two cord marks on the neck of the corpse, it showed that Qian Jia was actually strangled to death and then hung on the beam of the house to disguise himself as suicide. So I believe that someone must have used the same technique to kill Qian Jia. ”

Xie Zhenliang opened his mouth at this time: "Sun Dianchen is the commander of Tiance Guard, ranking among the third-rank high-ranking officials, it makes sense that someone is plotting in his case, then Qian Jia is just an ordinary junior, who would go to such great lengths to kill him?"

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Since the methods are the same, I think this murderer must be related to the Sun Dianchen case." Do you remember that today we were in the Drunken Immortal Building, how did that little two say Qian Jia?"

Zhang Fatzi raised his head and said while reminiscing: "Qian Jia is talented and never forgets the guests, but unfortunately he is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of money everywhere. But before he died, he suddenly became rich, not only paid off all his debts, but also went to the gambling house to gamble for three days and three nights. ”

Tie Wuru said at this time: "I once sent someone to the gambling house to investigate, and this Qian Jia lost no less than one hundred taels of silver in three days. I don't know if he is a junior who runs the hall, and his salary is only a few taels of silver a month, where did he get so much money?"

Ye Feng was stunned, and glanced at Tie Wuru with some surprise, it seems that this Lord Tie has already investigated Qian Jia's case and knows a lot of clues, but why has he never mentioned this all along?

It seems that this famous Iron Lord is not in vain, I am afraid that he has hidden more clues from them, but why is this?
