People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 11 Lost Things!

Dai Zhou and Xiao Yu looked at each other and nodded in unison.

They had been questioning people at the scene all night about the ghostly incident that happened just last night, and they had no time to think about it.

At this time, Lin Feng gave them the direction, and they would not delay.

"Your Highness, please ask the palace maid to do an inventory." Dai Zhou said.

Chang Le was about to nod, but Lin Feng suddenly said: "Her Highness the Princess only needs to find a palace maid who recognizes the Princess's jewelry, clothes and other treasures. The rest of the helpers will come from the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple."

Dai Zhou looked at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng said: "I don't believe anyone around Her Royal Highness now. They are all suspected of committing the crime, so I'll let people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple do the detailed counting. The maid only needs to help us identify what it is." That’s it.”

Dai Zhou thought for a while and felt that Lin Feng was thoughtful, so he nodded: "That's it."

Changle looked at the female officer following him and said: "Cui Zhu, you are the head of the palace maids. You know the best about all the jewelry in this palace and you are the safest in doing things. Come and count them."

Dai Zhou also nodded: "Cui Zhu can do it, she is more suitable than anyone else."

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Dai Shangshu seems to have special trust in Cuizhu?"

Dai Zhou explained: "Because Cuizhu caught a cold the day before the ghost doll appeared, he never went to the palace to serve her, and she didn't keep a vigil that night. She was sick and went to serve the princess the morning after the ghost doll appeared, but she didn't see her yet. Your Highness met the ghost doll first, so she can completely rule out the suspicion of placing the ghost doll."

"I didn't go to the palace during the whole process. It is indeed impossible to place a ghost doll." Lin Feng said: "But it is not advisable to work while sick."

Cuizhu's voice was very gentle and she said: "Your Highness the Princess has not been able to rest well. I am also worried about Your Highness's health. I really can't rest assured."

Chang Le looked touched, and Lin Feng smiled and said: "I finally understand why Her Royal Highness Princess values ​​​​Trust You, so I will help this sister."

Cuizhu hurriedly saluted: "This is what a slave should do."

Zhao Shiwu on the side looked at this scene and his eyes didn't know how to stare.

Dai Zhou and the others had been investigating the case with Lin Feng, and their thoughts were all on the case, so it was not like Zhao Shiwu was on the outside and discovered one thing... that is, Lin Feng had unknowingly... Become the talker here.

Even Dai Zhou, who was the Minister of Punishment, Xiao Yu, the Minister of Dali Temple, and even the noble Princess Changle, all subconsciously asked Lin Feng what he thought before doing anything.

And they carried out Lin Feng's words without any hesitation.

Zhao Shiwu only felt as if he was dreaming.

Is his adoptive father really a death row prisoner?

This kind of treatment is something that even Dai Zhou, who is a minister, has never had, right?
Are you really not dreaming?
In a daze, he caught sight of Han Keji, who seemed to be a transparent person, and saw Han Keji's embarrassed look as if his teeth were about to be broken, but there was nothing he could do about it, and he was finally convinced.

I am not dreaming.

The adoptive father is invincible! ! !

Soon, Changle's female officer Cuizhu and three people from the Punishment Department started counting.

While they were taking inventory, Lin Feng was still walking around the palace.

At this time, he found a book lying on Changle's bed. Lin Feng picked it up and saw that the name of the book was "The Heroes Travel to the End of the World with Swords".

Lin Feng: "..."

Looking at the title of the book, Lin Feng felt that he finally understood why Changle said something similar to what a hero would say to him.

He opened the book at random, wanting to see what ancient novels were like.

But after reading two pages, he looked speechless.

Lin Feng turned to look at Chang Le and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, is he a good person and loves to play?"

"what?"

Changle was said to be confused.

Lin Feng raised the book in his hand and said, "Your Highness is obviously haunted by ghosts and scared to tears by ghosts. Why are you still reading a book like this? Do you think life is too smooth and you are adding some hardships to yourself?"

That's right, this book that looks like a martial arts love story turns out to be a ghost story book.

It tells the story of a hero and a couple wielding swords, encountering various ghosts, subduing ghosts along the way, and finally being eaten by ghosts.

What a tragic ending!

When Chang Le heard this, her pretty face couldn't help but blush. She grabbed the book and said, "I...I didn't mean it."

"Ok?"

"I didn't know it was a book about ghosts. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have had so many nightmares about ghosts."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he suddenly stared at Chang Le: "Your Highness started having nightmares, was it because of this book?"

Chang Le puffed up his cheeks and said, "Yes! I thought it was a book about the love of heroes and lovers, but who knew it was about ghosts... I am most afraid of ghosts."

Lin Feng asked: "Where did this book come from? The palace library doesn't store this kind of book, does it?"

Chang Le said a little embarrassedly: "Is it related to the case?" Lin Feng smiled; "Whether it is related or not, we will only know after investigation."

Chang Le took a deep breath and said: "I am very bored in the palace every day. I just like to read some story books, so I often send people outside the palace to buy me some story books to read."

"Did you buy this book from outside the palace?"

"Correct!"

"Who bought it?"

"Lv'e."

"Lv'e?"

"A maid of mine, I always ask her to go out and buy the things I say."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then said: "Call Lu'e."

Soon, Lu'e, wearing a palace maid's costume, walked in nervously.

She saluted Chang Le, who said, "Lin Feng will ask you a few questions in a while. Just answer them truthfully."

Lu'e nodded quickly.

Lin Feng didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Did you buy this book for Her Highness the Princess?"

"It's a slave."

"Where did you buy it?"

Lu'e said: "I only buy from the same bookstore. The books there are the most complete and updated the fastest."

"Why did you buy this ghost story?" Lin Feng asked.

Lu'e hurriedly said: "I don't know this is a ghost story. When I looked at the title of the book, I thought it was a love story between heroes and heroines that Her Royal Highness often reads. Because I have a certain time limit for leaving the palace, I was delayed for some time before leaving the palace that day. As a result, time was tight and I couldn’t read the content carefully, so I bought it after reading the title.”

Lin Feng nodded and continued: "Were you the only one going to buy books by yourself? Or was there someone accompanying you?"

"There is only one slave."

"In other words, no one interferes with your choice?"

"No."

"Where were you the night the ghost doll appeared?"

"The servants are guarding outside the palace."

Lin Feng touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, you can go down first."

Lu'e quickly saluted and left.

After Lu'e left, Changle asked hurriedly: "Do you doubt Lu'e? Lu'e has been with me since she was a child. She will not have any problems."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Whether there is a problem depends on the evidence, and I am just asking normally. Your Highness does not need to think too much."

At this time, Sun Fuga's voice suddenly sounded: "The inventory is over."

When Lin Feng and Chang Le heard this, they quickly turned around and heard Sun Fuga say: "Some jewelry is missing."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed, while Chang Le's eyes widened: "Is there really something missing?"

Dai Zhou asked directly: "What's missing?"

Sun Fujia handed over a piece of paper and said: "There are ten pieces of jewelry missing in total, one gold hairpin, two jade hairpins, three step shakes, two flower diamonds, and two hairpins."

Lin Feng, who didn't understand any of this, was confused. Is there a difference between a hairpin, a hairpin and a hairpin?

Dai Zhou handed the list to Chang Le and said, "Your Highness, are you impressed by these jewelry?"

Changle looked at them and said: "They are all worn by me often, especially the gold hairpin. It was presented by the Nanzhao envoy and given to me by my father. I like it very much and wear it almost every day. Unexpectedly It's gone."

When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly looked at the dressing table and said, "Have these things always been kept here?"

Changle nodded: "They are all commonly used by me, so it is most convenient to put them here."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he already had some thoughts in his mind. He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Dai Zhou: "Dai Shangshu, go search. Search the residences of all the palace maids and eunuchs carefully to see if these lost things can be found. "

Dai Zhou's eagle eyes suddenly became as sharp as hooks. He said, "Whoever hides these things is a thief?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "At least he is a thief."

Dai Zhou didn't hesitate and said directly: "Someone, go check it out!"
