People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 107 The secret is revealed!The truth behind the case!
inside the room.

As Lin Feng's voice sounded, he fell into an eerie silence for an instant.

Qin Wen looked at Lin Feng with a blank expression, as if he didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

The county magistrate Zhou Helin was stunned at first, and then stood up suddenly. The pupils of his eyes trembled violently, staring at Lin Feng, and exclaimed: "Lin Sizheng, what did you say!? You said you have already Do you know the murderer’s intention?”

"Really!? Do you really know the murderer's intention!?"

outside the door.

Zhao Shishi was guarding the door when he suddenly heard Zhou Helin's extremely shocked voice coming from the room behind him.

He scratched his head and picked his ears. Even his unintelligent head could imagine what happened.

"My foster father must have had another breakthrough, right?"

"Hey, people who don't know their adoptive father well are prone to making a fuss."

Zhao Shiwu was completely accustomed to this kind of thing. He just looked around vigilantly and did not allow anyone to get close, lest anyone overhear the secret conversation of the three people in the room.

inside the room.

Lin Feng faced Zhou Helin, whose pupils were shaking, and nodded lightly. He did not sell out, and said directly: "Although the things the murderer has given us are not complete enough, we can already boldly speculate on the murderer's intentions based on these things, as well as these What are things pointing to?"

Lin Feng placed the jade pendant, letters, and the blood-stained purple cloth he had just obtained on the table one by one.

He looked at these objects and said: "After the murder was carefully planned, the murderer placed these objects next to the deceased. There is no doubt that his purpose is to show us."

"Then the question is... what do these objects represent? Why did the murderer choose them? And what kind of message does the murderer want to convey to us through these objects?"

Zhou Helin frowned, his eyes full of thoughts, but after staring at these objects for a long time, he couldn't figure out the murderer's intention.

In fact, these things seem to have nothing to do with each other.

He couldn't find any connection between them.

Not to mention Qin Wen, he was just a consultant who was called in temporarily and didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the case, let alone understand it.

After pondering to no avail, the two could only focus on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was not surprised when he saw both of them looking at him. He picked up the jade pendant and said, "There are obvious black marks on the back of the jade pendant, which means that this jade pendant must have been burned by fire."

"On the front of the jade pendant, there is a word "zhou". Generally speaking, there are two possibilities for the word "zhou" on the jade pendant."

"First, this word represents some kind of expectation for the future, or one's own will, original intention, etc. For example, in the Yushitai arson case, Wu Minxing, the censor of the Taiwan Academy, wrote on the jade pendant he gave to his son. And hope.”

Zhou Helin nodded. As the magistrate of Chang'an County and a relevant person in the prison system, he was naturally very aware of the Yushitai arson case.

"And the second one."

Lin Feng placed the jade pendant in front of the candlelight and looked at the clear word "Zhou" through the light of the candlelight.

He slowly said: "It represents a kind of identity! It may be the inheritance of the family. For example, some aristocratic families, their direct members will wear an identity jade plate with the family name printed on it."

"It may also be a symbol of some kind of force. For example, the members of the White Tiger Organization we captured before, they all have white tiger patterns on their bodies... Although they are not in the form of jade pendants, they all have the same purpose and represent related identities."

Having said that, Lin Feng paused for a moment.

He raised his gaze, looked at the two of them, and said, "There is only one word on this jade pendant. This word is not an obvious word with the meaning of expectation, so there is no doubt that it should represent identity."

Zhou Helin frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Then does it represent the family named Zhou? Or is it some kind of force with the name Zhou?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly: "The information on the jade pendant can only be deduced to this point. Going forward will be extremely subjective. Before there are more clues, I do not recommend using too much subjectivity to further speculate... …So my opinion is to stop for now and look at the other two objects.”

"After we summarize the information contained in all the objects, it will not be too late to determine whether the character Zhou represents family or power."

Zhou Helin also had rich experience in solving cases. Hearing Lin Feng's words, he nodded in agreement.

He looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Sizheng is still cautious. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stop in time and would subconsciously analyze further. But as Lin Sizheng said, the clues end here. Don't think too much. , are all subjective conjectures.”

Lin Feng smiled: "If County Magistrate Zhou can think of these things, he will definitely not be a careless person."

After the two complimented each other, they felt that each other looked more and more pleasing to the eye. There is nothing in this world that can make people get closer quickly than complimenting each other.

Zhou Helin looked back at the other two objects on the table and said, "The second object the murderer left us is this letter. What clues can we get from this letter?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he said: "I think it is more appropriate for us to check the third object first."

"The third object?"

Zhou Helin's eyes couldn't help but fall on the blood-stained purple cloth, and he wondered: "Is there anything special about this third object?"

Qin Wen also looked at Lin Feng curiously.

Lin Feng picked up the purple cloth on the table and said, "Magnificent Zhou and Qin Si Cheng, don't worry. You will understand after I analyze the information contained in the cloth and the letter."

As he spoke, he placed the purple cloth in front of the two of them, stared at the cloth with his deep black eyes, and said: "From this cloth, we can get three pieces of information."

"Three messages?"

Both were startled.

Lin Feng said: "The first two pieces of information are already presented on the surface of the cloth."

"The first piece of information is actually that I and Magistrate Zhou had already analyzed this piece of cloth when they first discovered it... This piece of cloth has faded slightly and is obviously old. It is by no means a new piece of cloth from the past one or two years. .”

Zhou Helin nodded. Indeed, this was their unanimous judgment, but they did not study the cloth deeply and could not judge the age of the cloth based on the degree of fading.

"And the second message..."

Lin Feng's eyes were fixed on the shocking blood stains that almost half stained the cloth. He squinted and said in a deep voice, "That's the blood on it!"

He looked at Zhou Helin and the two of them and said, "It's stained with blood! It's stained with a lot of blood! So the question is... why is it stained with all this blood?"

"Is it because the person wearing it was injured and was stained with blood? Or is it a piece of unwoven cloth that was splattered with blood?"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin frowned tightly. He looked at the blood on the cloth seriously and recalled Lin Feng's guess. Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly changed.

As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Zhou Helin is very capable. He has cracked many strange cases and was even praised by Li Shimin for this. He has rich experience. When he heard Lin Feng's prompts, he instantly understood Lin Feng. He meant, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he couldn't help but said: "Lin SiZheng, do you think... the owner of this cloth, or the place where this cloth exists, has encountered fighting or even killing!?"

fight?Kill! ?

Qin Wen's eyes widened when he heard Zhou Helin's words. It was obvious that as a layman in prison, he had never thought about this at all.

He quickly looked at Lin Feng.

Then Lin Feng said slowly: "I am just making a reasonable guess based on the blood on this piece of cloth... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer killed chickens and dogs out of boredom and dyed the blood of these animals on the cloth. Otherwise, the blood on this cloth should have been stained by some bloody accident."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Qin Wen said: "How could the murderer be so boring? As you said, this piece of cloth is many years old. It is obvious that the murderer has been carefully protecting it. How could such an important piece of cloth be killed?" The blood stained by chickens killing dogs.”

Zhou Helin also nodded. Based on emotion, reason, and logical inference, indeed... Lin Feng's guess is the most reasonable!
He said with a solemn expression: "From this point of view, did the murderer encounter an accident many years ago, and this piece of cloth is the witness of that accident?"

Lin Feng said: "This information will be suspended for now. Let's go see the last message this piece of cloth left for us."

After hearing the words, both of them held their breath and listened carefully. The second message alone was enough to gain Zhou Helin a lot. He was now looking forward to the third message given by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng met the gazes of the two people and said in a deep voice: "The third piece of information is the color of this piece of cloth - purple!"

"In the fourth year of Wude, the Emperor ordered that officials of the third rank and above should be 'purple in color', officials in the fifth rank and above should be 'zhuang in color', and officials in the sixth rank should be 'yellow in color'. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty changed them and turned them into officials. Those above the third rank should wear purple clothes! Those above the fifth rank should wear scarlet clothes; those above the seventh rank should wear green clothes, and women should follow the color of their husbands."

"So, whether this cloth is from two or three years ago, or ten years ago, the color purple cannot be worn by anyone but important ministers and nobles!"

"Therefore..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The origin of this piece of purple cloth can be explained."

Fortunately, since I came to Datang, I have been crazy about absorbing and understanding basic knowledge, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to express this information clearly.

Purple has become more and more precious since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After the Tang Dynasty, it surpassed red and became the most precious color after the yellow robe worn by the emperor.

What later generations said about red and purple, so red that it turned purple, and the dynasty's nobles and nobles all came from this.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Helin and Qin Wen, wanting to hear their thoughts, and then he discovered... Zhou Helin and Qin Wen's pupils were shaking violently at this moment.

They looked directly at themselves, as if they had flowers on their faces.

"Purple, purple...yes, how could I ignore this!"

Qin Wen's face was filled with shock. He finally understood what Lin Feng meant by the third hidden message.

From the purple color, one can deduce the identity of the owner of this piece of cloth!
Qin Wen couldn't help but asked: "Could it be that the owner of this piece of cloth is an official above the third rank? Or a relative of the emperor?"

Zhou Helin frowned and his eyes were filled with thoughts.

Lin Feng said: "If this cloth is from four years after Wude, then there are two possibilities for the identity of its owner."

"One type is what you call the person who wears it! That is, officials above the third rank, or relatives of the emperor and nobles."

"And the other kind..."

Lin Feng looked at the two of them and said slowly: "It's the person who made it."

"The one who made it?"

The two were stunned.

But soon, Zhou Helin's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with wide eyes, and said: "Lin Si Zheng, the person you mentioned as the manufacturer, is it... a cloth merchant!?"

"Dapron?"

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly said: "That's right! If they are cloth merchants, even if they can't wear purple easily, because the purple cloth is dyed and woven by them, they will definitely have purple in their hands. of cloth.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Magistrate Zhou and Qin Si Cheng are really quick in thinking. Yes, in addition to people who can wear purple robes, cloth merchants who weave and dye purple robes will also have such purple cloth. "

"But as I just said, when purple truly surpassed other colors and became the color symbolizing important ministers, it was after the Emperor issued the order in the fourth year of Wude..."

"And about the time of this piece of cloth..."

Lin Feng put down the cloth, picked up the last object left by the murderer, looked at the two of them, and said, "As for the time, Qin Si Cheng has just determined the time when this letter was written for us."

Qin Wen's eyes flashed and he immediately said: "Five years of martial virtue!"

Zhou Helin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "I've contacted you, I've really contacted you... This letter confirms the time for the third object of cloth!"

He looked at Lin Feng and said: "This letter was written in the fifth year of Wude, and the Supreme Emperor's order was in the fourth year of Wude. In other words, when the letter was written, Purple had already become an important minister and royal relative above the third rank. A color only used by relatives of the country!"

"Even if this cloth was dyed and woven five years ago, it does not affect the result that only important ministers and cloth merchants can own it!"

Once the government order is issued, it is the most important time point.

From that moment on, purple cloth only belonged to important ministers and relatives of the emperor and the emperor above the third rank. Only cloth merchants had the opportunity to stop briefly during production.

Qin Wen listened to Zhou Helin's words with a look of shock on his face. He really didn't expect that this letter and the seemingly unrelated piece of blood-stained purple cloth were actually connected!

He looked at Lin Feng with shock on his face, and felt that Lin Feng was really amazing!

This can all be deduced!
Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng with an expression full of shock and admiration. When he invited Lin Feng here, he originally had the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a live doctor. He really had no choice but to do so. Lin Feng was so famous that he couldn't do anything about it. Does Lin Feng really have the power of a detective as mentioned in the rumors?
As a result, now, Lin Feng has proven with actual actions that he is truly worthy of the title of detective!

Lin Feng could clearly feel the emotional changes between the two of them. He chuckled and continued: "Finally, let's analyze this letter."

"The first important information carried in this letter is the time, and Qin Sicheng has already helped find this."

"So, that leaves us with the second important piece of information."

When the two heard Lin Feng's words, they quickly looked at Lin Feng.

Then Lin Feng said slowly: "Why did the murderer get this letter?"

"What is his relationship with this letter?"

When Qin Wen heard this, he hurriedly said: "This letter contains the recipient's detailed information. It should be to ensure that the letter can be delivered to the recipient."

"The name of the recipient is Pu Rong, and he lives in a small county in the Liaodong region of Goguryeo. According to the content of the letter, we can know that the person who wrote the letter was once forced to work as a prisoner in that small county. Fortunately, Pu Rong’s help prevented him from starving to death and freezing to death.”

"But the letter does not have the name of the person who wrote it. Logically, the person who writes the letter should be signed at the end, but this letter does not."

Zhou Helin also felt strange: "Why didn't the person who wrote the letter sign his name?"

Lin Feng said: "Two possibilities."

The two of them looked at him hurriedly.

Then Lin Feng said: "First, the murderer is the person who wrote the letter. He hopes to use this letter to tell us some information, but he does not want us to know who he is through this letter, so this letter is probably not the original version. It was a re-transcription by him, and he deliberately did not sign it, just to hide his identity and not to let us find him with this letter."

When Zhou Helin heard this, he immediately nodded: "It's very possible!"

Qin Wen also nodded heavily.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the lack of signature. The person who wrote the letter can even read Goguryeo, and it is impossible to forget such an important thing as signature.

After all, when writing a letter, people have to know who wrote it, right?
"Don't worry, there is a second possibility."

Lin Feng looked at them and continued: "Secondly, this letter is not a complete letter. The content of the letter is not just this piece of paper, but there may be a second piece of paper, but because this letter has exceeded Ten years have passed, and some twists and accidents occurred in the middle, causing the subsequent papers to be lost, so only this piece of paper without the final signature remains."

Zhou Helin and Qin Wen thought for a while and then nodded. Looking at it more realistically, this possibility does exist.

After all, it has been ten years... They may not be able to find the things they had ten years ago now, and it is not impossible that the contents of the letters were accidentally lost.

Zhou Helin asked: "What kind of possibility would that be?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "As long as there are no further clues, it is possible."

"However, based on this, we can already deduce the identity of the murderer and his relationship with this letter."

Hearing this, the two subconsciously leaned forward and stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "The recipient's information is already very clear. There is no Zhou in his name, and the murderer is hiding in Puguang Temple. Both the monks of Puguang Temple and the three pilgrims are all Tang Dynasty people whose identities can be verified. , so it is certain that the murderer will not be the recipient of the letter."

Zhou Helin and Qin Wen looked at each other, then nodded quickly, agreeing with Lin Feng's conclusion. "So, there are only two possibilities for the murderer."

Lin Feng said slowly: "Either it is the person who wrote this letter and was rescued from Goguryeo by the Tang Dynasty."

"Either it is the businessman mentioned in this letter who asked a very well-connected and kind-hearted businessman friend to help deliver the letter... the businessman!"

merchant?

Zhou Helin's pupils dilated and he said, "Yes, why did I forget? This letter may still be in the hands of the businessman who delivered it!"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Now that the possible identity of the murderer has been determined, let us combine this purple cloth to further confirm the identity of the murderer."

"We have just concluded based on the cloth that the murderer may have two identities."

"Either, he is an important minister of the third rank or above, a noble relative of the emperor or a noble."

"Either he is a cloth merchant who weaves and dyes."

"So, based on these, we can make assumptions... If the murderer is an important minister, and he is the person who wrote the letter..."

As soon as Lin Feng's words rang out, Qin Wen shook his head and said: "It can't be an important minister or a relative of the emperor... The people trapped in Goguryeo are all ordinary soldiers and civilians. The person who wrote the letter came back from Goguryeo, and it is impossible to have such a noble status. !”

Lin Feng smiled and was not angry at Qin Wen for interrupting him. He nodded and said, "Then we can rule this out... Then the next murderer is an important minister, and he is a businessman who helped deliver the letter..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng paused, shook his head, and said: "There is no need to make assumptions. When this possibility arises, it can be eliminated. The important minister cannot be a businessman."

He looked at the two of them and said, "So, based on this, can we determine the identity of the murderer?"

"He cannot be an important minister, but he still owns purple cloth, so he can only be... a cloth merchant!"

Qin Wen couldn't help but vomit after listening to Lin Feng's words. He couldn't help but rub his arms and felt goosebumps rising!

Lin Feng really did it, he really figured out the identity of the murderer!
Zhou Helin stood up directly and kept pacing back and forth in the room. His eyes flashed again and again, and then he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes: "That's right! It's the cloth merchant! It must be the cloth merchant! "

"So, if the murderer is a businessman, then he is not the one who wrote the letter. He is the businessman who helped deliver the letter?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wen looked at Lin Feng nervously.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The identity of the murderer as a cloth merchant can be confirmed, but whether he is the one who wrote the letter cannot be confirmed for the time being..."

"But..." Zhou Helin was about to speak.

Lin Feng understood what Zhou Helin meant, and he said: "County Magistrate Zhou, we cannot make subjective assumptions."

"Although the person who wrote the letter asked the businessman to help him deliver the letter, the person who wrote the letter did not state in the letter that he was not a businessman. What if the person who wrote the letter also lived in a businessman's home? It was just his family's business. He couldn't go to Goguryeo, so why did he ask someone who could go to Goguryeo to do business to help deliver the letter?"

"Moreover, the businessman mentioned in the letter who delivered the letter is a friend of the person who wrote the letter. Isn't it reasonable for businessmen to become friends?"

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin frowned. He thought about it carefully and nodded immediately: "Lin Sizheng is right. Now we can only prove that the murderer is a businessman, but we can't prove whether the murderer and the person who wrote the letter are the same person. personal."

Qin Wen felt that he was going to be confused.

He felt that the murderer was a businessman, and he fit perfectly with the businessman who delivered the letter. He was exactly the same person.

But if you think about it carefully, Lin Feng is right. The existing clues can only go so far. Going forward, without the support of evidence and clues, it is all subjective conjecture.

And subjective inferences without basis may be wrong.

Lin Feng slowly exhaled, looked at the two of them, and said, "Now that we have sorted out the information on the existence of the three objects given to us by the murderer, we can then summarize them to speculate on the murderer. These objects are placed in front of us to tell us something.”

After Zhou Helin heard this, he quickly strode back to the table and sat down quickly.

Qin Wen also looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes.

"The jade pendant points to identity. This identity may be a family named Zhou, or a corresponding force."

"There are traces of fire on the back of the jade pendant, which means it may have been caught in a fire."

"The letter points to the five years of Taketori, and combined with the cloth, tells us that the murderer's identity is a cloth merchant, and he is also a cloth merchant who can produce purple cloth for the imperial court."

"As for the cloth, stained with blood, it means that it has experienced bloody things, because we have determined that this cloth was not worn by important ministers or relatives of the emperor, which can prove that it was in the home of a cloth merchant, so it is stained with blood. There was so much blood on it, it's likely that a lot of blood was spattered on it."

"That is to say..."

Lin Feng looked at Qin Wen, then from Qin Wen to Zhou Helin. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "A bloody accident may have happened in this cloth merchant's home!"

Zhou Helin's pupils shrank.

Qin Wen's expression suddenly changed.

Lin Feng said: "Combining all this information, I have a bold guess!"

Both of them couldn't help but swallowed and looked at Lin Feng nervously.

I heard Lin Feng say in a low voice: "In the fifth year of Wude, a major accident occurred in a cloth merchant's house that provided purple cloth to the imperial court. Someone was killed, and blood spattered on the cloth! It may even have happened The fire caused the jade pendant to leave traces of fire! And this cloth merchant's home is probably named Zhou! Their cloth shop is probably named after Zhou Ji."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Qin Wen felt his scalp numb.

Obviously Lin Feng was just inferring, but Qin Wen felt that this was the fact!

After all, the inference in front of you is derived from each object!

Lin Feng was very cautious, and every inference was based on clues, without any excessive subjective assumptions.

So now that Lin Feng gave this reasoning, he felt that this must be the truth!
Zhou Helin's face also changed suddenly, and he said: "If these objects really point to such an accident...then the three monks who were killed?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "If nothing else, they are probably the culprits of the accident at the cloth merchant's house. This is a revenge! The people from the cloth merchant's house who were killed back then are here to take revenge!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Helin and said, "County Magistrate Zhou, do you remember what I said when I heard about the deaths of Zhi Cheng and Zhi Guang... This sounds very much like revenge?"

Zhou Helin's pupils shrank and his face suddenly turned pale.

How he didn't remember that.

At that time, he told Lin Feng that Zhicheng had been hacked eighteen times and died. He was covered in blood and was very scary. Lin Feng said that it was very much like revenge.

Later, he told Lin Feng that Zhiguang was beaten to death, and there was no good spot on his body. Lin Feng also said that it was clearly a case of revenge.

But they didn't know the relationship between the murderer and the deceased at the time, so Zhou Helin felt that Lin Feng's inference was wrong.

But now that I think about it, it was indeed revenge!

It corresponds, everything corresponds.

The murderer's retaliatory operation corresponds completely with Lin Feng's reasoning that this is a matter of revenge.

If just now he thought that Lin Feng's inference was [-]% likely, now it is [-]% likely!

Lin Feng touched his chin and continued: "First he killed with a knife, then he hit him with a wooden stick, and then he burned... gold and wood fire... How do you feel that the murderer killed according to the Five Elements method?"

"Is he trying to use the Five Elements method to let his family rest in peace?"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin felt a chill rush into his mind. He looked at Lin Feng with wide eyes and said, "Lin Sizheng, do you mean..."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "The five elements include metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and so far...the murderer used three types of metal, wood, and fire. What about water and earth?"

He looked at Zhou Helin and said solemnly: "Maybe the murderer's road to revenge is not over yet."

Zhou Helin suddenly stood up and said immediately, "I will have all the monks under control right now. No one is allowed to act alone!"

Lin Feng said: "County Magistrate Zhou, the murderer has not left anything pointing to his identity so far. We have no idea who the murderer is... Can you stop him for a while, or for the rest of his life?"

"Besides, if my inference is correct, then these monks are definitely not clean, and they may also be responsible for murders... Do you want these people who have been responsible for murders to go free?"

Zhou Helin's pupils were beating violently. He stared at Lin Feng closely and said, "What does Lin Sicheng mean?"

Qin Wen was completely stunned by the development in front of him, and could not say anything at the moment.

Lin Feng met Zhou Helin's gaze and said, "Why does the murderer leave behind a key object every time he kills someone?"

"I think he just wants us to find out what happened back then. If it is as I inferred, such serious murders and arson happened back then... But these evil people have been living well until Now, the murderer has to take revenge himself... It is probably because of the incident back then, and so far, there has been no progress."

"It may be that the local government investigated and found no problems, or it may be..."

Lin Feng squinted his eyes, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes: "The local government deliberately concealed something!"

Qin Wen's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he felt his scalp was numb again.

How come even the local government is involved?

But Zhou Helin frowned and did not refute Lin Feng's words.

It was obvious that he agreed with Lin Feng's conclusion.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "So, whether it is to find out the identity of the real murderer from the case that year, or to help us find the real murderer of this series of murders."

"Let's let the case that made no progress back then be brought to light again, and find the real truth...and at the same time find out the remaining villains responsible for the murder!"

"We all need to...find the case from back then! Re-investigate it!"

Zhou Helin's eyes flashed fiercely, and he paced back and forth. Suddenly, he stopped.

Turning to face Lin Feng, he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that the case that I thought was a simple murder actually involved Wu De's five-year history!"

"but……"

He paused and said: "Lin Sizheng is right. Whether it is to solve the current case and find the murderer, or to find the truth back then, we must re-investigate the case back then."

"Now that we know about this, we can't just pretend that nothing happened!"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

He knew that Zhou Helin was not a person who was afraid of trouble.

The two reached an agreement.

Qin Wen looked left and right, and couldn't help but worry: "But it's been ten years since that case, can it still be found out?"

"And now, you don't even know what kind of case it is."

When Lin Feng heard this, he said calmly: "Time can bury many things, but there are more things that cannot be buried. It cannot bury people's memories, nor can it bury the truth... If it really happened as I inferred, For such a serious case, the people nearby will definitely not have any memory."

"Not to mention, we still have a dossier. The black and white words in the dossier will not disappear over time."

"So the most important thing next is to find the case from that year..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Helin and said: "Local cases, whether they are solved or not, must be reported to the Ministry of Justice on a regular basis, so even if the case that year becomes unsolved, the Ministry of Justice will definitely have records... Next, I am going to prepare Go to the Criminal Department to investigate Takeru’s case records for five years.”

"The cloth merchants who can provide cloth for the imperial court will definitely have some reputation in the states. If something happens to them, the files submitted by the local government will definitely be recorded in very detail, so based on the keywords such as cloth merchant, Huo Shao, Zhou surname, etc., there will be a purpose Finding it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

"Of course, the premise is that my inference is correct. If my inference is wrong, we may not find anything... But this is good. This can prove that our thinking is wrong. Let's go back to the starting point and reason again to find It is better to correct our mistakes where we made mistakes than to have no clues and no direction to strengthen now."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhou Helin nodded heavily.

He admired Lin Feng more and more. After all, there were not many people in this world who had the courage to start over after a hard time.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "I am going to the Criminal Department with Lin Sizheng?"

"No!"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Magistrate Zhou stayed in Puguang Temple and took good care of these monks. He did not allow any monks to act alone, lest anyone else be killed..."

"At the same time, Magistrate Zhou also needs to investigate the time when Zhicheng, Zhiguang and Zhihe entered the temple and investigate their past."

"If they all entered the temple in the same year, then it is very likely that other people who committed crimes that year will also enter the temple together in that year. In this case, Magistrate Zhou may be able to know the murderer's next target. Who?"

Zhou Helin's eyes flashed slightly. He had rich experience in solving cases, and he understood that Lin Feng and he wanted to work in parallel, investigate simultaneously, and then verify each other.

He nodded immediately: "Okay! Leave the affairs of the temple to me, and I will investigate everything clearly. I will ask Lin Si to handle the affairs of the Criminal Department."

Lin Feng smiled: "Since I promised to help County Magistrate Zhou investigate the case, I should do my best... County Magistrate Zhou should wait for news about me. If I find the corresponding files, I will notify County Magistrate Zhou as soon as possible. make."

When Zhou Helin listened to Lin Feng's words, something seemed to be touched in his heart.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands to Lin Feng and said: "To be honest with Lin Sizheng, when I was in my mentor's house, I was quite jealous of you, because I investigated as many cases as you, and my official position was as low as yours, and I had no outstanding cases. I also broke a lot... As a result, you are more famous than me, and even my mentor praised you... You know, my mentor has never praised me like that."

"So I was really jealous of you at the time, but now, I am sincerely convinced and have nothing but admiration for you."

"Your ability to resolve cases and your attitude towards the case are beyond my reach."

"No matter whether this case can be successfully solved or not, I will remember Lin Simasa's kindness."

Lin Feng had a good feeling for Zhou Helin, and it was normal for people to have feelings of envy and jealousy. Zhou Helin dared to admit this in front of him, which was much better than other people who could only gossip behind his back.

He smiled and said: "The words of Magistrate Zhou are serious. I actually respect Magistrate Zhou very much. I have actually studied many of Magistrate Zhou's cases."

Zhou Helin was startled, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Seriously?"

"It's true."

Lin Feng is very good at interpersonal communication. With just one sentence, Zhou Helin can feel better about him.

He glanced at the night outside the window and said, "It's getting late. It's probably dawn before we get to the Punishment Department, so I won't delay."

Hearing this, Zhou Helin took a deep breath, took a step back, bowed to Lin Feng, and said sincerely: "Lin Si Zheng, I'm begging you."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "Wait for my news."

After that, without any hesitation, he turned around and went out, leaving with Zhao Shiwu in a hurry.

Zhou Helin raised his eyes and saw that the moonlight was like snow on the road outside the door. Under the moon, Lin Feng and Zhao Shiwu walked with their backs to the moon, getting further and further away, and finally disappeared.
