People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 105: Strange things happening in the temple, wild ghosts killing people, new cases! (two-in-one)

As night falls, the lights are on.

The entire Wei Guogong Mansion was as bright as day.

Fang Xuanling and Zhou Helin entered Fang Yizhi's yard. Before they reached the door of the attic, they heard Fang Yizhi's excited voice coming from the attic.

"That's it. It turns out that the rainbow is formed through such a complicated process. I really didn't expect that the light we can see every day actually contains so much knowledge. Lin Sizheng, you are really knowledgeable. I am ashamed of myself." Not as good as that.”

Hearing Fang Yizhi's voice, which was completely different from his usual calm and quiet voice, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but pause slightly.

Zhou Helin's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

Zhou Helin knew Fang Yizhi's temperament very well. Fang Yizhi was literate at the age of three and began to read by himself at the age of five. He first read books about elementary school, then books about saints, and then began to dabble in many books, even the study of objects. I also like it very much.

Therefore, Fang Yizhi has knowledge that even Fang Xuanling can't compare to. He knows everything from astronomy and geography, to the art of running a country and war, to the study of objects. Therefore...when has he ever heard Fang Yizhi admit to other people's knowledge? Feeling ashamed?

Not to mention that Fang Yizhi has a quiet temper and is very calm. Have they ever heard Fang Yizhi speak in such an excited and completely different tone?

Surprised, Zhou Helin couldn't help but turn his attention to his mentor. He was immediately startled... He saw that Fang Xuanling had completely stopped and was no longer moving forward. He was actually quietly listening to the exchange in the library.

At this time, a new voice came from the library: "Master Fang, please don't say that. I just happened to read a few more books that Master Fang has not read. I cannot be regarded as knowledgeable."

This unfamiliar voice... Zhou Helin immediately realized that this was the voice of Lin Feng, the Zheng of Dali Temple who had recently become famous.

His eyes flashed slightly and he hurriedly listened.

In the attic, candlelight flickered.

The two people drinking and talking in the attic did not know that there were two pairs of ears eavesdropping outside the door at this time.

When Fang Yi heard Lin Feng's humble words, he shook his head and said seriously: "Lin Si has used a lot of knowledge in astronomy and geography in solving cases in the past. He knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. He also knows a lot about the study of things. , how can you not bear the evaluation of being knowledgeable?"

Lin Feng knew that Fang Yizhi was a serious person, so he smiled and did not refute again.

Fang Yizhi looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes, full of hope, like a student seeking knowledge, and said, "I wonder what other interesting studies of objects Lin Sizheng knows?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "What do you want to know about the house?"

"Anything is fine, just like this light, it is very common, but we have not thought deeply about the inner knowledge of it."

Lin Feng thought for a while, then looked at the dancing candle on the table, and said, "Do you know what conditions are required for this candle to burn and produce a flame?"

Fang Yizhi was stunned for a moment. He blinked and looked at the candlelight, but he had no idea how to answer Lin Feng's question.

He really never thought about what conditions were needed for the candle to burn.

Outside the door, Chang'an County Magistrate Zhou Helin frowned. He thought Lin Feng's question was strange. The candle burned as soon as it was ignited. What other conditions are needed for this?
He subconsciously looked at his mentor and was stunned.

Because he actually found that his mentor's eyes were flashing with thoughts. It was obvious that his mentor was really thinking seriously about Lin Feng's strange question.

In the bookstore.

After thinking for a while, Fang Yizhi shook his head and said, "I know how to light a candle, but I don't know the inner meaning..."

He looked at Lin Feng, cupped his hands and said, "Please give Lin Sizheng some advice."

Lin Feng smiled softly and said: "The burning of candles, or the burning of everything, requires three elements!"

"Three elements..."

Fang Yizhi felt that an unknown door was opening towards him, and he hurriedly asked: "What three elements?"

"Combustibles, combustion accelerants, and the ignition point needed to achieve the combustion of combustibles."

Fang Yizhi's eyes were full of confusion. He could not understand any of the three elements Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Fang, just listen to me slowly."

Then Lin Feng told Fang Yizhi the three elements of combustion learned in the junior high school textbook in great detail.

And it also comes with simple and easy-to-understand examples.

Why can sand put out fires?Because the combustion accelerant of air is isolated.

Why can water extinguish fire?Because while isolating the air, it also absorbs a large amount of heat during evaporation, causing the temperature to drop below the ignition point of combustibles.

Through such common examples in life, we can help Fang Yizhi understand his words more intuitively.

In this way, Lin Feng spent half a quarter of an hour to finally finish explaining the basic knowledge of combustion.

He smiled and looked at Fang Yizhi: "To sum up, theoretically, as long as all the conditions for the three elements of combustion are met, there is nothing that cannot be burned."

Fang Yi stared at Lin Feng with his eyes wide open.

His pupils kept turning in his eyes, and suddenly, he stood up and walked back and forth, muttering something in his mouth as he walked.

It looks like it is chattering like a god.

I don't even care about my appearance.

Lin Feng looked at Fang Yizhi with a smile. What he introduced to Fang Yizhi was the most basic knowledge, and the examples were life-like. He believed that with Fang Yizhi's ability, he would be able to digest this knowledge quickly.

Fang Yizhi was very special to Lin Feng.

He is different from all the officials Lin Feng has met. Fang Yizhi has the purity of a scholar. He is not as scheming as others and focuses on knowledge. It is better to say that he is an official than a true scholar.

Lin Feng liked to come into contact with such Fang Yizhi.

He will feel very relaxed and at ease.

The next moment, Fang Yizhi really stopped and looked at Lin Feng with eyes filled with ecstasy: "So that's it! I finally understand that there is so much knowledge and truth behind the burning of this candle!"

As he said that, Fang Yizhi suddenly faced Lin Feng and saluted Lin Feng very solemnly: "Thank you Lin Temple for teaching me!"

…………

outside the attic.

Zhou Helin's mouth opened wide, his face was full of shock, and his whole person was already a little sluggish.

He really didn't expect that there were such truths in the burning of ordinary candles.

What combustibles, what accelerants, what ignition points, this is all knowledge that he had never heard of before, but after Lin Feng introduced it, he felt that it made sense, and that was how it should be.

Not to mention whether Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was better than his own, but just in terms of knowledge, he had to admit that he was indeed incomparable.

No wonder Fang Yizhi respected Lin Feng so much and made an exception to invite Lin Feng into the library. Lin Feng really had the qualifications.

He couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling, wondering what his mentor's attitude was towards Lin Feng.

Then, he saw Fang Xuanling smile. Different from the usual gentle smile, this time the smile was obviously more from the heart.

Zhou Helin was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Mentor?"

"It's really interesting knowledge. It's not in vain that I can hear this today."

Fang Xuanling chuckled, stopped and took steps again, saying: "Let's go, eavesdropping all the time is not the way to treat guests. Let's go meet this knowledgeable little guy."

The two came to the door, and Zhou Helin quickly knocked on the door.

The heated voices in the room fell silent, and Fang Yizhi's somewhat displeased voice came out: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb Lin Si Zheng and me?"

Zhou Helin looked at Fang Xuanling with an embarrassed look.

Fang Xuanling chuckled lightly, not caring, and said warmly: "It's me."

The sound in the room became silent again, and then footsteps were heard approaching quickly, and soon the closed door was opened.

Fang Yizhi looked at his father outside the door with a surprised look on his face: "Father, why are you here?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "There are guests in the house, how can I not come to entertain the guests?"

With that said, Fang Xuanling walked into the attic.

As soon as he entered the attic, he saw a handsome young man with dark and lively eyes standing behind the table. The young man hurriedly bowed to Fang Xuanling and said, "I have met Wei Guogong."

Fang Xuanling looked at Lin Feng calmly, then nodded and said with a gentle smile: "No need to be polite, you are the first distinguished guest that Quanzi invites into the library. I am really curious and want to know what it is like. Toshiyan will be invited by Quanzi as an exception, so he comes uninvited. I apologize for disturbing Lin Simasa."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood the implication of Fang Xuanling's words.

First, Fang Xuanling specifically said that she was the first distinguished guest invited into the library by Fang Yizhi, which was clearly telling herself how much Fang Yizhi valued her.

Fang Yizhi never mentioned the special features of the bookstore from beginning to end. If Fang Xuanling didn't say it, he really wouldn't know this.

The second is to explain why he came here. He was just curious about himself and had no other thoughts.

Lin Feng sighed in his heart, he was worthy of the famous Prime Minister Fang Xuanling. He had many intentions in one sentence, but he was still gentle and thoughtful, making him feel no resistance at all.

He hurriedly said: "Xiaoguan has always admired Wei Guogong and has long wanted to come to visit him. However, he was worried that it would be too abrupt, so he has never paid a visit to Wei Guogong. I feel honored to be able to see Wei Guogong today."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly and said with a gentle smile: "I just heard some conversations between You and Quanzi outside the door. The three elements of burning really opened my eyes. I wonder where Zide knew these theories about studying things? "

My title has changed from Lin Sizheng to Zide... Lin Feng said: "To be honest with Wei Guogong, when Xiaguan was in prison, he was hit hard on the head, which caused some memory loss, so Xiaguan doesn't remember it either. Which books did you read this knowledge in? I only remember the relevant content.”

Fang Xuanling said: "So that's it. I have a good personal relationship with some imperial doctors. If Lin Temple is in need, I can ask the imperial doctors to help. Maybe I can help Lin Temple recover some memories."

Lin Feng quickly expressed his thanks.

Although he didn't know why Fang Xuanling had such a good attitude towards him and cared about him so much, he could never refuse at this time. After all, if he was ill and left untreated, the most scheming and wisest capable minister in the world would definitely notice something abnormal.

Seeing Lin Feng's straightforward agreement, Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded slightly, and said, "Everyone, please sit down and let's sit down and chat."

Everyone took their seats.

Fang Yi looked at Zhou Helin to the left and Fang Xuanling to the right. His brows couldn't help but wrinkled. He seemed to dislike them and never left after they arrived. Now the good academic atmosphere between himself and Lin Feng was affected.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Fang Yizhi, then looked at Lin Feng, and said gently: "Today, my colleagues have been talking about you in my ears. You can discover the truth in the subtleties, and you can use the method of taking advantage of the situation to catch someone." The real culprit, even me, can't help but admire in my heart, this is the first time I've seen your ability to solve a case."

Lin Feng couldn't figure out what Fang Xuanling meant, so he quickly said humbly, "I'm just lucky."

Fang Xuanling listened to Lin Feng's humble words, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "One time it was good luck, but two or three times, it can't be explained by good luck... It happened that my student, Chang'an County Magistrate Zhou Helin, these Tian has encountered some problems, and I want to ask Zide for advice. I hope Zide can help me for my sake."

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin with some surprise, but saw Zhou Helin, who had been silent since entering the book pavilion, with a slightly surprised look on his face. But soon, Zhou Helin's expression remained as usual, and he held his hands and said, "I hope Lin Temple can help." My officer."

Although Zhou Helin quickly suppressed the unexpected look, he still did not hide it from Lin Feng's sight, and Lin Feng's heart moved slightly.

Looking at Zhou Helin's appearance, Fang Xuanling's words were obviously beyond Zhou Helin's expectations.

This means that Zhou Helin may not come here to ask for help from him. So what Fang Xuanling said... Could it be that he wants to test himself?Want to see if your abilities are as good as the rumors say?
Recalling that Fang Xuanling told him how special Fang Yizhi treated him when he came, Lin Feng's heart moved slightly. He seemed to have understood Fang Xuanling's intention. Was he checking for his son?

But Fang Yi is looking for friends, not a wife, so is this necessary?

Lin Feng's heart was spinning all over, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Magistrate Zhou said it doesn't matter. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Seeing Lin Feng's enthusiasm, Zhou Helin's eyes flickered slightly. He coughed a little embarrassedly, thought for a while, and said: "I have encountered several cases recently, and I am not too sure about the identity of the murderer. I hope Lin Sizheng can help judge." .”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard about the case, Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "I wonder what the case is?"

Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng, his expression became serious, and said: "The first case happened not long ago. It was in the afternoon. Someone came to the county government to report the case, saying that someone wanted to attack and hurt him. He had to fight back, and he accidentally killed him. The man who attacked him was killed."

"After hearing the report, the officer immediately took people to check and found that the crime scene was by the lake."

"The person who reported the crime said that he was fishing by the lake at the time, and suddenly he saw someone sneaking behind him from the lake, holding a big stone and walking towards him, intending to beat him to death... and when he saw the person clearly, , and found that the man was the opponent he had quarreled with not long ago, so he was shocked, quickly picked up a stone and hit him backwards. "

"As a result, the stone hit his opponent's head, knocking him down. When the man fell, the back of his head accidentally hit the stone on the ground, and he died accidentally."

As he spoke, he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Because there was no one else nearby when the crime occurred, I had difficulty determining whether it was an accident or intentional homicide."

After hearing Zhou Helin's words, Fang Yizhi also became interested, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Fang Xuanling was holding a teacup and drinking tea slowly, seemingly not interested in the case.

Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng and said, "How does Lin Sizheng think this officer should investigate?"

"Investigation? Why do such unnecessary things!"

But at this time, Lin Feng suddenly spoke and directly concluded: "There is no need to investigate. The person who reported the case committed murder intentionally."

Zhou Helin was startled and said subconsciously: "Why is Lin Si so determined?"

Fang Yizhi also looked at Lin Feng in confusion, and even Fang Xuanling's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly.

Lin Feng looked at Fang Yizhi and said, "Mr. Fang, this is related to the reflection of light I told you before. The lake surface can be used as a mirror, and our line of sight can be used as a beam of light, so if we want to see what's behind us, How should the picture and mirror be placed?”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Yizhi's eyes flashed suddenly, and he immediately said: "It should be tilted at least at an angle. It must not be laid flat. If it is laid flat, our sight must not be reflected behind us, which means..."

Fang Yizhi said excitedly: "The person who reported the crime would never be able to see the figure behind him through the lake. He is obviously lying!"

Zhou Helin was stunned, what kind of light reflection?What are they talking about?

I always feel so awesome!
Fang Xuanling, who looked calm, raised his eyes slightly at this time.

He glanced at his excited son, and then at Lin Feng's confident smile. Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, lowered his head and glanced at the teacup in his hand, moved his head back and forth, and looked at the scene in the teacup, his eyes flashing slightly. , nodded gently, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said with a smile: "Fang Langzhong has already explained to me that if County Magistrate Zhou has not arrested the person yet, he can arrest the person directly next."

Fang Yizhi's eyes were bright. For the first time, he felt how useful the knowledge Lin Feng told him was.

Zhou Helin coughed and said, "Later, during the interrogation, I already asked him about his lies..."

He looked at Lin Feng with a touch of emotion in his eyes: "I didn't expect Lin Sizheng to know that he was lying in an instant without interrogating him... It is said that Lin Sizheng is best at finding flaws in the details. When I saw this today, I admire him. .”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, very modestly: "It's nothing, it just happened that his lies were within the knowledge and experience I have. Magistrate Zhou didn't know this knowledge, but he could still see through his lies. This is really true." It’s awesome.”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin's eyes couldn't help but flicker. He suddenly felt that Lin Feng was not only powerful, but also well-spoken. His previous jealousy of Lin Feng was completely unnecessary.

"Are there any other cases?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Zhou Helin nodded hurriedly: "There is a second case -" "Okay."

But before Zhou Helin could talk about the second case, Fang Xuanling's voice suddenly sounded. He put down his tea cup and said, "Zide is a distinguished guest, so there is no reason to trouble the distinguished guest all the time. If you have other questions, you can consult Zide alone in the future. "

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said gently to Lin Feng: "Zide, you can continue talking about academic matters, and we won't disturb you anymore."

With that said, he took Zhou Helin and left.

Without any hesitation.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's leaving figure, the stone in Lin Feng's heart finally fell to the ground.

He thought that his performance just now should satisfy Fang Xuanling.

If Fang Xuanling can be satisfied, then he will never have any problems in dealing with Fang Yizhi in the future. Maybe Fang Xuanling can even help him when needed.

However, Lin Feng was not sure that his guess was correct. After all, people like Fang Xuanling were really unfathomable, and it was impossible to see what was really in his heart.

…………

Outside the bookstore.

Under the stars.

Fang Xuanling walked slowly and said, "How do you feel about meeting Lin Feng for the first time? Are you still not convinced?"

Zhou Helin sighed and said: "Lin Sizheng's knowledge is extremely high. Even the young master admires him very much, and the students naturally admire him very much! And his case-solving ability... Although the student only had time to ask about one case, it can be seen that he has little knowledge. The student just finished speaking Regarding the circumstances of the case, Lin Sizheng quickly told the truth without even having time to think."

"This is enough to prove that he is very quick in thinking and has rich experience in solving cases. He is able to use his knowledge and experience at any time like picking up something from a bag..."

Having said this, Zhou Helin paused for a moment, and then said with emotion: "The student can't help but be convinced. At least for now, he is much better than the student."

Fang Xuanling chuckled and said, "I can make you feel so arrogant. It seems you are really convinced."

Zhou Helin looked at Fang Xuanling, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Why did the teacher let the students test Lin Sizheng's ability?"

Fang Xuanling did not hide anything from his students. He raised his eyes to the sky and said, "Do you still remember how Yi Zhi's name came about?"

Zhou Helin's eyes moved slightly: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the sage of the Jin Dynasty had Yang Tongue. He was knowledgeable, noble in character, and could treat the country with courtesy. Therefore, he was called 'Yi Zhi' by Confucius. The teacher named the son after the sage's elegant title, which is full of praise. Young Master’s expectations.”

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, his eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "So, if I don't personally check for him, how can I rest assured? After all, this is the first friend who can really get into his heart..."

"He has a straightforward temperament and accepts death. If the first friend he truly makes has bad character or is incompetent and cannot move forward with him, but instead holds him back... then it will probably do a lot of harm to him in the future. So even if it’s inappropriate to do this, as a father, I have to check it for him.”

Zhou Helin didn't expect Fang Xuanling to have this reason, but after thinking about it, he felt it was normal. After all, Fang Xuanling had really high expectations for Fang Yizhi.

Inheritance and integrity must be compared to the sages.

Zhou Helin couldn't help but said: "Then my mentor is still satisfied with Lin Feng?"

Fang Xuanling chuckled: "Let the juniors do their own thing."

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. It seemed that his mentor was really satisfied with Lin Feng. Otherwise, he would never have said "let them".

Even his mentor, who had always been picky, was very satisfied with Lin Feng. Zhou Helin couldn't explain how he felt. When he first saw Fang Xuanling praising Lin Feng for his greatness, Zhou Helin was a little jealous. After all, Fang Xuanling had never praised him like this. .

But now, after meeting Lin Feng in person and verifying Lin Feng's abilities, he no longer has such thoughts. Not to mention that even Fang Xuanling agrees with Lin Feng. If he is still hostile to Lin Feng, I'm afraid his mentor will beat him up. .

As a student of Fang Xuanling, Zhou Helin was smart. He knew very well who he could offend and who he could only make friends with.

"master."

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly walked over quickly. After bowing to Fang Xuanling, he turned to look at Zhou Helin and said: "County Magistrate Zhou, someone from the county government has come, saying that another murder has occurred in Puguang Temple."

When Zhou Helin heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

…………

Inside the bookstore.

As Fang Xuanling left, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed again.

Even Fang Yizhi was obviously much more relaxed. It could be seen that Fang Yizhi was a little in awe of Fang Xuanling.

Lin Feng and Fang Yizhi each drank another glass of wine, and the atmosphere became harmonious again. Lin Feng thought about it and felt that the time had come to talk about business.

He looked at Fang Yizhi and said casually: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. I once read in a book that there is red soil in the world. Fang Fang... I wonder if you have ever seen red soil. soil?"

"Red dirt?"

Fang Yizhi did not hesitate and said naturally: "Of course I have seen it, I have it in my house."

"Oh?"

Lin Feng asked curiously: "Fangfu has it? Are you serious?"

Fang Yizhi said: "How can this be false? There is a Qingliang Mountain outside Chang'an City. There is a temple on Qingliang Mountain called Puguang Temple. There is a piece of land in Puguang Temple, and the soil there is red. According to Master Dewen, the host of Puguang Temple, That soil is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva's spirit and his support for all living beings."

"My mother is dedicated to the Buddha and often goes to Puguang Temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. She once asked Abbot Dewen for red clay, so now in my mother's room, there is a pot of red clay blessed by the Bodhisattva."

The red soil where Bodhisattva appeared and blessed?

I don't read much, don't lie to me... Isn't the red soil really high in the high-priced iron element in the soil?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he used science to explain why the soil was red. He could give many reasons, but he didn't believe in blessings and manifestations, but when it came to temples...

Lin Feng thought again of the Bodhi leaves he found under the dressing cabinet.

He looked at Fang Yizhi and said: "It seems that Puguang Temple must be very popular... I heard that there are bodhi trees in many efficacious temples. I wonder if there are bodhi trees in Puguang Temple as well?"

Fang Yizhi said: "I heard my mother say that there are only three temples with bodhi trees in and around Chang'an City, including Puguang Temple."

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly moved, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass.

The red mud comes from Puguang Temple!
Bodhi trees are also found in Puguang Temple!
If it were a coincidence, it would be too much.

It seems...

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, it was necessary to go to Puguang Temple next.

But he couldn't help but frown. If Lin Feng, the former prime minister of Puguang Temple and Dali Temple, was really related to the Four Elephants Organization, would he be able to alert the enemy if he went there for no reason?
The clues he has about the red soil and the bodhi tree are still secret for now. Only Xiao Yu knows it. According to the information gap theory, this is his advantage.

But once he went to Puguang Temple for no reason, this advantage would probably be lost.

"You have to find a reason...to go there in the name of worshiping Buddha?"

As soon as this idea came up, Lin Feng rejected it.

After all, he has never shown any signs of believing in Buddhism since he appeared. Who can believe it when he suddenly wants to worship Buddha?
But if it weren’t for worshiping Buddha, what other reasonable reason could there be for going to Puguang Temple that would be consistent with one’s identity and that no one would doubt?
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel worried. There were not many people he could trust now, and Xiao Yu and the others were also being watched by the Four Elephants Organization like him, so Xiao Yu and the others couldn't go there rashly either.

This time, Lin Feng was really in trouble. Even though he already had a target, how to go and investigate it became difficult.

Fang Yi saw Lin Feng frowning and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Lin Sizheng, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Feng was about to shake his head when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

There was a knock on the door.

Fang Yizhi looked a little unhappy. He looked at Lin Feng apologetically and said, "Lin Sizheng, I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you alone tonight..."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "The housekeeper specifically told me not to disturb anyone casually, so if someone knocks on the door at this time, I'm afraid it's really something important."

Fang Yi nodded when he saw that Lin Feng was not displeased. He quickly stood up, came to the door, and opened it.

Fang Yizhi was startled when he saw the person outside the door. The person in front of the door was Zhou Helin, the magistrate of Chang'an County who had returned.

He asked in confusion: "County Magistrate Zhou, why are you here again?"

Zhou Helin?
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard Fang Yizhi's words. He also stood up and came to the door.

Seeing the apology on Zhou Helin's face, he said, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you again. I came here specifically to see Lin Sizheng this time."

"Looking for me?" Lin Feng was startled.

Fang Yizhi was also a little confused.

Zhou Helin and Lin Feng met for the first time. What was he doing with Lin Feng?
Zhou Helin raised his hand to Lin Feng and said: "Lin Sizheng, I will tell you the truth. I recently encountered a difficult case. I have been investigating for two days but there are no clues. And now there are new casualties. I am There is really no other way, so please ask Lin Si Zhengneng to help me."

A tough case?
Are there any new casualties?

Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said directly: "I wonder what the case is?"

As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Zhou Helin also had many official contacts with Dali Temple. It would also be good for him to make connections with Zhou Helin.

Seeing that Lin Feng was interested in helping him, Zhou Helin quickly said without any hesitation: "The case happened early yesterday morning."

"Early yesterday morning, before I went to the county government office for duty, I was woken up from my sleep. The government servant informed me that a murder had occurred at Puguang Temple on Qingliang Mountain, and a monk had been killed!"

Qingliang Mountain!Puguang Temple! ?

Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

Such a coincidence, I just knew that the red mud and bodhi tree came from Puguang Temple, and a case happened in Puguang Temple?
He couldn't help but look at Fang Yizhi, and saw Fang Yizhi also looking at him.

Obviously, Fang Yizhi also thought it was too coincidental. They had just mentioned Puguang Temple, but they did not expect that Zhou Helin's case originated from Puguang Temple.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and felt a slight movement in his heart. He was worried about the right reasons for going to Puguang Temple.

Right now, isn’t this the most appropriate reason?

What could be the most reasonable thing for me, as the chief of Dali Temple, to go and investigate the case?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately looked at Zhou Helin and said seriously: "Please ask County Magistrate Zhou to explain the case in detail."

Zhou Helin naturally did not hesitate. He said: "After receiving the report, I quickly led people to investigate. It was found that the deceased monk's name was Zhicheng. He died beside a well in the temple, and his whole body was chopped with a kitchen knife. A total of eighteen blows, bloody, and looks very scary."

"Chop knife?" Lin Feng grasped the key: "Evidence was found at the scene?"

Zhou Helin nodded: "Yes, the kitchen knife was stained with blood and was left at the scene. After inspecting the wound, it was determined that the murder weapon was the kitchen knife."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said slowly: "Is the kitchen knife from the temple?"

"Yes, later we asked the monk to check and found that a kitchen knife was missing from the kitchen."

"Are there any pilgrims staying in the temple that night?"

"Yes, there are three pilgrims in total."

"Is there any suspicion?"

Zhou Helin shook his head and said: "It's impossible to be sure. In fact, it's not just the three pilgrims, but also many monks who cannot rule out suspicion."

"According to the time of death deduced from the autopsy, everyone was sleeping at that time, so no one can prove it to others."

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "The deceased was slashed eighteen times. It seems that the murderer and the deceased may have some grudges... Have you ever asked other monks whether this monk had conflicts with other people before his death?"

Zhou Helin said: "There was a conflict between a pilgrim and this monk, but the conflict did not lead to murder and venting anger, and we did not find any other evidence or clues."

Lin Feng nodded. There were no further clues, there was not enough motive for the murder, and he could not find a suspect even if he tried to find one.

Sure enough, this case is a bit difficult to handle.

He said: "What happened next?"

Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression and said, "This morning, I received another report. Another monk was killed in Puguang Temple..."

Fang Yizhi looked surprised: "Another monk died?"

Lin Feng also stared at Zhou Helin. Zhou Helin nodded and said, "Yes, another monk died, but unlike the previous monk, this monk was not hacked to death with a kitchen knife, but beaten to death with a stick. He His body was covered with scars from sticks, and there was no good spot anywhere on his body.”

Lin Feng couldn't help but frown: "Beat him alive... There are scars all over his body. He looks like the last one who died, as if he was seeking revenge and venting his anger."

Zhou Helin said: "I thought so too, but after questioning the monk, I learned that the deceased had never had a conflict with anyone."

"And just like when the last deceased was killed, he died late at night, everyone was sleeping, and there was still no witness."

Lin Feng wondered: "After being beaten like this, didn't he cry out in pain and no one heard the whole process?"

Zhou Helin said: "This monk was tied up all over and had a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't speak."

Lin Feng gently twirled his thumb and index finger on his right hand. If Sun Fujia and Zhao Shiwu saw this scene, they would know that Lin Feng's brain was already running at high speed, analyzing the case.

Seeing Lin Feng's thoughtful look, Zhou Helin continued: "Puguang Temple is full of incense and there are many pilgrims. However, due to the continuous murders, the mountain gate has been closed and no pilgrims are allowed to enter for the time being. But Puguang Temple has a good reputation after all. If something like this happens, if it cannot be done in time, Solve it and find the murderer quickly, I’m afraid there will be rumors by then.”

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, you should understand that rumors related to such gods and Buddhas will be very scary once they spread."

Lin Feng understood what Zhou Helin meant. He nodded and said, "We want to find a way to solve it as soon as possible."

"But it's not over yet."

Zhou Helin took a deep breath and said with a heavy expression: "Just now... not long after I left the bookstore, a government official came anxiously to report..."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "Another murder occurred!?"

Zhou Helin nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, another murder has occurred."

"Another monk died."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Two people had died in succession. The government and the temple must have taken strict precautions. At this time, the murderer should not kill again!
But in the end, someone died again!
Did the murderer deliberately provoke the government?

Or is there any reason to kill?
He looked at Zhou Helin and asked, "How did he die?"

Zhou Helin said solemnly: "It wasn't a kitchen knife, it wasn't being beaten to death, and it wasn't being killed in a place where no one could see it late at night."

"This time, he is in full view of the public..."

"Being burned to death by ghosts!"
