People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically
Chapter 113 The whole story is finally revealed!
Chapter 113 The whole story is finally revealed! ([-]-in-[-])
The arrest record in Lin Feng's hand was blown by the night wind, trembling violently, like a kite trying to break free.
The firelight shone on the paper, allowing Zhuang Yan and others who were close to the paper to see the names on the paper very clearly.
The names were densely packed, with more than twenty names written down.
Among them, several names are circled.
Lin Feng said slowly: "The names circled are the relatives of Zhao Peng and others."
"There are their parents, their children, their brothers and sisters..."
"The reasons for the arrest written in this arrest record are either gathering a crowd to cause trouble, stealing other people's property, or being suspected of being an internal agent of other forces and needing to be arrested and interrogated."
"There are various reasons, you can see..."
Lin Feng glanced at Wang Pengcheng, whose eyes were wide and his pupils were trembling violently, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "You really tried your best to arrest them properly and control Zhao Peng's fatal weakness."
The veins on Wang Pengcheng's face began to beat, and the blood vessels circled ferociously on his forehead, looking a little crazy and terrifying.
He gritted his teeth, and his voice seemed to be spitting out from between his teeth: "They committed crimes back then, and it was reasonable for me to arrest them. As a county captain, can't I catch a few ordinary people who committed crimes?"
"Ordinary people who committed crimes?"
Lin Feng smiled coldly.
He took out another piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is the list of released persons, the date, and the reason for release!"
In the Tang Dynasty, or in other words, every dynasty, there was a strict prison system.
Detailed records must be kept when arresting criminals and releasing criminals.
If it takes decades or centuries, these records may be lost.
But it has only been ten years now, and it is still the heyday of Zhenguan. Zheng County has not been attacked by war again, so these records have been preserved in great detail.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said calmly: "You said that they are all ordinary people who committed crimes. Then can you explain to me why when they were finally released, the reasons given were all acquittals?"
"You said they were guilty, where is the crime?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned, his eyes flickered for a moment, and said: "Back then, the situation was chaotic, and there were many people who took advantage of the chaos. In order to maintain the stability of Zheng County, I would rather catch a thousand wrong ones than let one go... So There is nothing you can do if you accidentally arrest a few wrong people."
"Is there nothing you can do about it?"
Lin Feng laughed and said: "Indeed, you can make an excuse, saying that you accidentally caught the wrong one, but what about the release time?"
Wang Pengcheng's expression condensed.
Lin Feng pointed at the date on the paper, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring at Wang Pengcheng: "The dates you released them were all on the same day, and this same day... was the day after the Zhou family massacre! You again How to explain it?"
"what?"
Zhuang Yan was startled and asked, "They were all released on the second day of the Zhou family massacre?"
The others also stared wide-eyed.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Does Magistrate Zhuang think it's a coincidence?"
"The relatives of the five Zhao Peng people were all arrested before the Zhou family's murder case, and their release time happened to be the day after the Zhou family's murder case, and the reason why they were arrested was not at all because of the crime. The case was closed, but the wrong arrest was made..."
"It just so happens that Zhao Peng and the other five are the real executors of the Zhou family's extermination case! They and Wang Pengcheng are still co-conspirators!"
He looked at Zhuang Yan and said with a half-smile: "County Magistrate Zhuang, you taste it! You taste it carefully! With so many things put together, who do you think controls whose destiny? Who can order who to act?"
Zhuang Yan's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you even think about it?"
"Obviously, it was Wang Pengcheng who used Zhao Peng's relatives to coerce Zhao Peng and others to obey his orders. After Zhao Peng and the others killed everyone in the Zhou family, Wang Pengcheng fulfilled his promise and released their relatives."
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
"What Magistrate Zhuang said is right, I also think this is the case."
"If only one person's relatives were arrested, it could still be a coincidence, but if all five people's relatives were arrested, then it can't be a coincidence!"
"My mother-in-law, Queen of Wang County, has been cured of her illness. She no longer has any weaknesses. Instead, he captured Zhao Peng's relatives and was able to coerce them."
"I never expected that County Lieutenant Wang would be such a person!"
"What else is there to say about County Lieutenant Wang? Bah! He is just a despicable, sinister and vicious villain. Does he deserve the title of County Lieutenant?"
"Wang Pengcheng is so hidden. If Lin Temple hadn't been re-investigating the case, we would never have known that he was so insidious!"
The government officials were whispering to each other and discussing a lot.
Zhuang Yan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and blamed himself: "Lin Si Zheng, it was Xianguan's negligence. Xianguan never found out that Xianguan's subordinates turned out to be such a cruel and ruthless person who harbored evil intentions!"
Seeing Zhuang Yan blaming himself, Lin Feng shook his head and comforted: "There is no need for Magistrate Zhuang to blame himself. First of all, you are not the county magistrate who personally experienced the case. It had been several years since you took office. You don't pay attention to this case." normal."
"Secondly, even if you witnessed the case, Wang Pengcheng's plan was very thorough. First, Xie Fang's family was regarded as prisoners, and then the five related Liu Fei were regarded as scapegoats on the second level. How could you know that the real murderer would be from a village? What about the five ordinary people who have nothing to do with the Zhou family?"
"Since you don't know the existence of the five of them, how can you pay attention to whether their relatives have been arrested or released?"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "The reason why I investigated this is because the five Zhao Peng people I discovered first were the real culprits, and I also knew that Wang Pengcheng was also an accomplice. I found clues based on the results. , naturally it is more purposeful and easier.”
Listening to Lin Feng's gentle words, Zhuang Yan was filled with emotion.
He used to only think that Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was terrifying, but now, he was even more impressed by Lin Feng's personality charm.
He took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Thank you Lin Sizheng. Lin Sizheng's words made me feel a lot more comfortable."
Lin Feng smiled, looked at Wang Pengcheng again, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Pengcheng clenched his fists tightly with both hands, his nails dug into his flesh, and blood flowed out.
His eyes were scarlet, like an enraged lion, staring at Lin Feng: "If I had known you would check those, I should have destroyed these records long ago!"
When everyone heard this, the look of disappointment on their faces was completely fixed.
Because Wang Pengcheng's words undoubtedly acknowledged Lin Feng's inference.
Lin Feng's previous inference, no matter how reasonable it sounded, was still an inference, but now that Wang Pengcheng admitted it, it was already a fact.
He is really the mastermind behind the Zhou family's murder!
Zhuang Yan looked at Wang Pengcheng with a complicated expression, shook his head and said, "I thought you would continue to quibble and insist that all this is a coincidence."
Lin Feng smiled, but there was no surprise, and said: "When I wanted to go back to Puguang Temple to trace the identity of the person back then, he couldn't wait to escape overnight. This proves that he believes that when I find out those people hiding in Puguang Temple, Finally, it will be confirmed that he is the mastermind.”
"This shows that those thieves must have ironclad evidence pointing to him. Otherwise, if it is true as he said, he was forced to cooperate and had no idea what the thieves did, and he only did something that was not Even if he goes to watch the night outside the Zhou Mansion, even if he will be implicated in the case, it will never lead to death, and he may not even be able to spend a few years in jail."
Li Shimin was very cautious about the death penalty and specially set up a system of five memorials. The so-called five memorials meant two memorials two days before the execution and three memorials on the day of execution, giving Li Shimin a chance to repent.
Therefore, if there is no evidence pointing to Wang Pengcheng as the mastermind, Wang Pengcheng did not kill anyone with his own hands, and his hands were not stained with blood, then he would never have died.
"Compared with hiding one's name, being frightened, and having nowhere to go, the result is just a few years in prison at most... Besides, he is the county captain of Zheng County, and he is familiar with the jailers in the prison. Even in prison, he will not It would be too uncomfortable, so why would he run away overnight?”
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded immediately.
He said: "I thought he finally realized his conscience and stopped quibbling. It turns out that he gave up because he knew he couldn't quibble at all!"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he scratched his head and said: "Father, since Zhao Peng and the others have the ironclad evidence of Wang Pengcheng, and Wang Pengcheng also knows this, how can he keep Zhao Peng and the others alive if he is so insidious and vicious?"
“Isn’t that always leaving yourself with the risk of exposure?”
After hearing Zhao Shiwu's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
Zhao Shiwu thought he had said something wrong. His face turned red and he said in embarrassment: "I, I just said it casually, don't worry about it."
Lin Feng saw this and smiled: "No! Fifteen, you asked this question very well."
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Feng.
Just listen to Lin Feng say: "Through the analysis I just made, we all know what kind of person Wang Pengcheng is."
"He acted carefully and planned carefully. In the case of the Zhou family's extermination, he never personally killed anyone. He always acted as a poor person who was coerced... So how could he give someone like this... Leaving yourself such a big risk?”
"Not to mention that he has no humanity. When facing the Zhou family who helped him, he can retaliate with evil. How can he not bear to do something to his so-called associates who were coerced by him and had to be stained with blood?"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he was very puzzled and said, "But he still didn't take action."
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that he didn't do it, it's that he couldn't do it."
"Can't do anything?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan and said: "Magistrate Zhuang, you just said that Wang Pengcheng released Zhao Peng and his relatives on the second day of the Zhou family murder case to fulfill his promise... But in my opinion, people like Wang Pengcheng , I will never do anything like fulfilling my promise.”
"The reason why he quickly released Zhao Peng and his family was probably because he didn't dare to let them go. He was afraid that Zhao Peng and the others would reveal his conspiracy and expose him, so he could only release them first to appease Zhao Peng and the others."
Zhuang Yan was startled, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng had a gloomy face and cold eyes, but he did not refute. It seemed that it was exactly what Lin Feng said.
Lin Feng continued: "Zhao Peng and the others were able to threaten Wang Pengcheng because they obviously had important evidence. But how could someone like Wang Pengcheng let them go? Even if he pretended that he couldn't leave because he had to lead the government officials to put out the fire that night, once he had the chance, Yes, he will definitely kill someone and silence him. Only in this way can he feel completely at ease."
As he said that, Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Don't forget, Wang Pengcheng got Zhao Peng's new household registration information, and Wang Pengcheng prepared the place of residence for them. Don't think that this is Wang Pengcheng's kindness, for them. Consider the road ahead.”
"In fact, with the transfer, Wang Pengcheng can know where they have gone! With the household registration information, whether they use new household registration information or not, Wang Pengcheng can clearly know their identities! In this case, they ran away No matter how fast, Wang Pengcheng can easily find them and kill them!"
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's pupils shrank.
Ordinary government officials only felt a chill, instantly rising from the soles of their feet to the sky.
That horrible chill, that icy feeling, made their hands and feet feel cold.
They never expected that the escape route Wang Pengcheng seemed to have prepared for Zhao Peng and the others was actually to make it easier for him to kill people and silence them!
Zhuang Yan also widened his eyes and swallowed subconsciously.
When Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fuga saw this, they both felt a little cold all over.
In fact, Wang Pengcheng's cruelty exceeded their expectations.
He really took hypocrisy to the extreme!
"Is this really the case?" Zhuang Yan said with his scalp numb.
Lin Fengxuan looked at Zhuang Yan and said slowly: "What Zhao Peng and the others did later can prove this."
"what?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said calmly: "The three monks who were killed in Puguang Temple can now be confirmed to be three of Zhao Peng and the others. Before I came to Zheng County, the Chang'an County Magistrate had compiled the information about Zhicheng, Zhihe and Zhiguang. The trustee sent it to me."
"So I know all the information about the three of them when they entered the temple."
"First of all, it's the time for them to enter the temple!"
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: "The time when Zhicheng and the other three entered the temple was the beginning of the sixth year of Wude, and the time when the Zhou family massacre occurred was October of the fifth year of Wude."
"That is to say, they hurriedly entered the temple to become monks not long after the massacre."
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Magistrate Zhuang, why do you think they entered the temple to become monks in such a hurry?"
"You know, at that time, they had just obtained countless wealth from the Zhou family! They had just obtained a new identity and could enjoy the hard-won wealth!"
"They finally got so much money, but they didn't enjoy it at all. They just went to the temple on the mountain and lived a vegetarian life every day, either chanting sutras or ringing bells! Do you think this is reasonable?"
"This……"
Zhuang Yan frowned tightly.
He thought for a while, rolled his eyes for a long time, but could only shake his head and said: "It is indeed unreasonable! And at that time, Xie Fang's family had already scapegoated them, and they did not have to worry about being wanted by the court... So at this time It’s indeed a bit strange to enter the temple without hesitation.”
The others thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Through the extermination of the family, I finally got countless wealth, but in the end I didn't enjoy it at all, so I went to become a monk in a temple in the mountains, went to the temple to eat vegetarian food and chant sutras, and my life was not as good as in Zhou Mansion. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't matter. Something is wrong.
"and also!"
Lin Feng continued: "Just now when I asked Wang Pengcheng about the new household registration status he prepared for the five Zhao Peng people, Wang Pengcheng told us five names."
Everyone nodded hurriedly, they all heard it.
"but……"
Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You may not know...the five names Wang Pengcheng gave me are the same as the names given to me by the Chang'an County Magistrate, and the names on the household registration information of Zhicheng and the others before they became monks. …”
He looked at everyone, paused deliberately, and then continued: "...It's completely inappropriate!"
"what!?"
"The name doesn't match?"
"how come?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Wang Pengcheng and said sternly: "Are you still deceiving us!?"
Wang Pengcheng had a gloomy face, frowned, and said, "This kind of thing has no impact on me at all. Why should I deceive you about this matter?"
Zhuang Yan was startled for a moment and frowned: "You didn't lie to us?"
"Then why..."
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Why can't the household registration information be correct?"
Everyone was confused. Wang Pengcheng didn't lie, and it was impossible and unnecessary for Lin Feng to lie. What was going on?
Why are household registration information different?
They all looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Lin Feng met everyone's gaze of knowledge and smiled: "He did not deceive us, but Zhicheng's and his family's household registration information is indeed different... But Zhicheng and the others are indeed Zhao Peng and the others, not two waves of people, so there can only be one kind of explanation."
Everyone held their breath and looked at Lin Feng nervously.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Pengcheng, and said slowly: "That's just like Wang Pengcheng forged household registration information for Zhao Peng and the others... After the Zhou family massacre, after Zhao Peng and the others left Zheng County, they found a way to give them I forged another household registration information."
"At that time, the world was in chaos, and it was extremely difficult to count household registration information. There were many hidden populations that were not counted. The 'equal land system' and the 'renting system' were promulgated in the seventh year of Wude, and the household registration system in Wude five years Management is far less strict, so as long as you have money, it is not difficult to forge household registration information.”
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded.
As those who had experienced that era, it was easy for them to understand Lin Feng's words.
Lin Feng said: "Taken together, we can have an intuitive understanding of Zhao Peng's itinerary."
"In early October of the fifth year of Wude, they caused the massacre of the Zhou family, and then left Zheng County with the help of Wang Pengcheng... But as soon as they left, they non-stop created a forged document for themselves. Household registration information, but after getting the new household registration information, I didn’t even have time to enjoy a good life, and hurriedly ran to become a monk in a temple in the mountains!"
"There was only less than two months between them entering the temple and the murder of the Zhou family. During this time, they had to forge household registration information and rush on the road. It can be said that they did not have a day to rest..."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Why do you think Zhao Peng and the others acted so abnormally and did all this in such a hurry?"
Lin Feng has reminded him to this extent. If everyone present does not understand, it would be too stupid.
Zhuang Yan's eyes widened and he said, "Run for your life! Hide! You don't want to be discovered!"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Who don't you want to be discovered? Who are you hiding from?"
Zhuang Yan's pupils were beating violently, and his face was full of surprise. He couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng and said, "Who else can it be!?"
"After they left Zheng County, they were so anxious to forge their household registration information again. It was clear that they wanted to get rid of Wang Pengcheng. After all, only Wang Pengcheng knew their identities before and after the forgery!"
"So it's obvious that they don't want to be discovered by Wang Pengcheng! And the reason why they hurried to the temple is because there are few people in the temple. As long as they are not entertaining pilgrims outside, it is difficult for anyone to find them, so in the temple Inside, they are the safest!”
Everyone nodded heavily after listening to Zhuang Yan's words.
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "It seems that Magistrate Zhuang has understood everything."
He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said slowly: "Now let's go back to the question - does Wang Pengcheng not want to kill people and silence them to avoid future troubles?"
"Obviously, it's not that he doesn't want to kill people! Of course, he has prepared everything in advance. After the matter in Zheng County is resolved, he will be able to find Zhao Peng and the others based on their residence and household registration information, and then kill them and silence them!"
"It's just that he didn't expect...Zhao Peng and the others had actually realized that Wang Pengcheng might be trying to burn bridges, so they were very smart and directly gave up the household registration information and residence that Wang Pengcheng had prepared for them, and spent their own money to forge new ones. identity."
"In this way, Wang Pengcheng has completely lost their traces. Even if he wants to kill them, he can't find them." Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Wang Pengcheng is cunning, and Zhao Peng and the others are no less generous." ."
Sun Fujia couldn't help but said: "But Zhao Peng and the others are decisive enough. Even if they have a lot of wealth, they can give up their luxurious life without hesitation and hide in the temple decisively to live a vegetarian life by ringing bells, chanting Buddha's name, etc." day."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The consequence of not being decisive is that Wang Pengcheng will probably find them, and then they will be greeted by death! How can they not be decisive?"
"Not to mention……"
Lin Feng lowered his head, looked at the arrest list in his hand, and said slowly: "Their relatives are still in Zheng County... If they can survive, it will be a shock to Wang Pengcheng. Wang Pengcheng will never dare to treat their families badly. , but once they die, the safety of their families cannot be guaranteed."
"So even if it's for their families, they have to survive."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded sadly.
Who would have thought that after the murder of the Zhou family, the criminals who had committed numerous crimes would still have such intrigues and schemes!
None of these people are stupid.
But after thinking about it, if any of them were stupid, they might have died long ago, and they would not be able to wait for the revenge of the Zhou family survivors.
revenge……
When Zhuang Yan thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh again. He said, "No matter how decisive Zhao Peng and the others were, they still didn't expect that one day they would be found by the survivors of the Zhou family... They escaped Wang Pengcheng's pursuit, but He did not escape the revenge of the survivors of the Zhou family."
Zhao Shiwu heard this, thought for a while, and said: "This is what is called not not repaying, the time has not come yet, this is the retribution they deserve."
Everyone else nodded.
After all, Zhao Peng and Wang Pengcheng battled wits and courage, and finally evaded pursuit and hid in a mountain temple. However, in the end, they still died at the hands of the survivors of the Zhou family. If this was not retribution, it would be unexplainable.
But who knew that when Lin Feng heard what they said, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Retribution?"
He looked at everyone and said, "Wait until I finish talking about a few coincidences, then you can judge whether this is retribution."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.
They subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.
I heard Lin Feng say: "When I first arrived in Zheng County, I inquired about the state of Zhou Mansion's desertion... Logically speaking, a mansion as big as Zhou Mansion and in such a good location should not have been abandoned for ten years."
"So out of curiosity, I asked people to inquire... and found out that the Zhou Mansion has been haunted twice in the past ten years."
After listening to Lin Feng's words, a government official said, "Indeed, there have been two ghosts in the Zhou Mansion."
"I remember... the first time, probably a year after the Zhou family massacre, when the watchman passed by the door of Zhou's mansion, he heard the sound of ghost crying coming from the Zhou mansion, which frightened the watchman to the point of illness. a few days."
"I also remember this incident... and the second time the Zhou family was haunted happened half a year ago!"
A tall and thin government servant turned pale when talking about this incident. He said: "At that time, a group of us were patrolling at night, but when we passed by the gate of Zhou's Mansion, we heard something moving inside Zhou's Mansion. , and then we used the closed door to take a look inside the Zhou Mansion..."
He looked around, looking very nervous, and his voice was much lower, and said: "As a result, we saw a will-o'-the-wisp, a will-o'-the-wisp... In this empty mansion, there was a will-o’-the-wisp floating in the air, and we all saw it. Scared to death!”
Hearing what this yamen servant said, other yamen servants also agreed.
"I saw a will-o'-the-wisp too!"
"Will-o'-the-wisps really do exist!"
"The blue will-o'-the-wisps are floating in the air, very scary!"
As these government officials spoke, everyone felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. At first, they only felt that the night wind was howling, but now, they suddenly felt that the night wind was a bit colder.
Because they witnessed the second haunting with their own eyes, their reaction was even more intense.
Even Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but hug himself tightly, looking a little nervous.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said: "Before, you didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family, so you would think it was haunted. This is normal... But now, you all know that there are survivors in the Zhou family, how can you still think that this is haunting?" Where’s the haunting?”
Everyone was startled.
Then a government official opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "Isn't that... a ghost? Is it a survivor of the Zhou family?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
"Other than the survivors of the Zhou family, who would cry here?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "In the first year, the watchman heard the sound of sobbing. It must be that the survivors of the Zhou family came here to pay homage to the dead souls."
"Why did he pay homage at night? It was because during the day, people were coming and going outside, and he was afraid that his presence would be discovered."
A yamen official said: "But when we came to check the next day, we found no ashes of burned paper."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "He can't be exposed yet. After all, he hasn't found the real culprit yet, and the revenge has not been avenged. Naturally, he has to be careful. So after burning paper to pay homage, he will definitely clean up the scene so that no one will find him." exist."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded suddenly. What Lin Feng said made sense.
Lin Feng looked at them and said, "Because you don't know that there are survivors in the Zhou family, it's easy for you to think that it is haunted. But you must know that Wang Pengcheng knows the truth about the Zhou family's murder case, and he knows the real murderer Zhao The five Peng people are still at large."
"So, what do you think... when Wang Pengcheng knew the truth about the Zhou family's murder case, he suddenly heard a sound in the Zhou house, what would he think?"
Zhuang Yan's eyes flashed and he said hurriedly: "He will think that someone from Zhao Peng and the others is back!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "That's right! Because he knows more secrets, he will have completely different judgments on the same thing."
"It's just that when he found out, it was already the next day. When the Yamen went to search the next day, there was no trace of the person coming, so that time, Wang Pengcheng returned without success."
The government officials all nodded. They had experienced those things themselves and knew that what Lin Feng said was the truth.
"but!"
Lin Feng's voice changed: "This incident finally gave Wang Pengcheng a reminder, letting Wang Pengcheng know that since Zhao Peng and the others will come back once, they will definitely come back a second time, so he must be very careful about the haunting of Zhou House. More attentive and keener than anything else!”
"Just like that, half a year ago, the second haunting happened!"
Lin Feng looked at the government officials and said, "I would like to know if Wang Pengcheng was there when you were patrolling the night when the ghost was haunted for the second time?"
The expressions of the government officials all changed drastically: "Here! We are the ones led by Wang Pengcheng who patrol the night! It was Wang Pengcheng who was the first to notice something going on in the Zhou Mansion!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he laughed: "He has been paying attention to the hauntings in Zhou Mansion, how could he discover the movement later than you?"
"Then what did he do that night after discovering the will-o'-the-wisp in Zhou Mansion?"
The government officials frowned and thought for a while, and soon thought of it. After all, their memories were still very clear after half a year.
"After we were scared away, Wang Pengcheng said we should not patrol near the Zhou Mansion for the time being."
"Because we were all so frightened that we all agreed with his proposal."
"But not long after we patrolled, he said that there were still some unfinished business matters in the yamen, so he asked us to continue patrolling. He would go back to the yamen to handle the business affairs first, and then come to us after he was done."
Zhuang Yan was startled: "Is there such a thing? How come I don't know about it?"
The officials said: "An hour later, Wang Pengcheng came to see us again. Nothing else happened that night, so we didn't think much about it and didn't report it to Magistrate Zhuang."
"Yes, and Wang Pengcheng reported the results of the night patrol to Magistrate Zhuang. Whether he said it or not, we don't know."
Zhuang Yan nodded calmly. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "They are right. If Wang Pengcheng doesn't tell me, I won't know that he left alone that night."
Lin Feng didn't care about this, he said: "With the first haunting, County Magistrate Zhuang should know what Wang Pengcheng is doing, right?"
Zhuang Yan said with an ugly face: "Of course he sneaked to the Zhou Mansion to find the person who was mistaken for being a ghost... But he didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family. He thought it was Zhao Peng and the others. "
Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng and said, "But he probably hasn't seen the Zhou family survivors, right? Otherwise, with Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness and the Zhou family survivors' desire to avenge the Zhou family, the two of them will not live in peace. ."
Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Zhuang Yan's words.
But Lin Feng said: "No! I think they should have met."
"what?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhuang Yan's eyes widened: "We met!? How is that possible?"
"If they meet, they will definitely not let each other go. How can they both live well?"
Others nodded quickly, they all had the same idea.
Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness has been witnessed.
The survivors of the Zhou family killed three people in succession in Puguang Temple to take revenge. From this, it can be seen that he is by no means a soft-hearted person in order to take revenge.
So how can two enemies meet and get along peacefully?
Lin Feng said: "Don't worry... I found something when I asked Dr. Sun to secretly investigate Wang Pengcheng."
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yan asked hurriedly.
Lin Feng said: "Dr. Sun found Wang Pengcheng's crime record and found that seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng had visited Chang'an City once for official business... This was his first time to Chang'an City in ten years."
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and then nodded: "That's indeed what happened. The lower official opened the detention center for him."
Lin Feng said: "And Dr. Sun also found out that... Wang Pengcheng's mother was seriously ill again, and this time she was really terminally ill. And his mother believed in Buddhism and often went to worship Buddha."
"So do you think it is possible that after Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an, he would go to a temple in Chang'an that is famous for its efficacious prayers to pray for a Buddha for his mother?"
Zhuang Yan frowned and couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng. Wang Pengcheng's eyes suddenly widened at this moment. His scarlet eyes stared straight at Lin Feng for an instant, and the expression on his face suddenly changed significantly.
Could it be... He was shocked: "Did he really go to the temple when he went to Chang'an?"
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "There are also survivors of the Zhou family. He has been looking for the real culprits for so long. It can be seen from his ruthless attacks that three people died in a row... He must be obsessed with revenge. can not wait!"
"That is to say, as long as he finds these real culprits, he will definitely take revenge long ago."
"But in fact, it took him ten years to take revenge. Why?"
Zhuang Yan frowned and guessed: "Because he only found these real murderers not long ago?"
Lin Feng nodded: "This conjecture is the most reasonable... If this is the case, then we can know that the people who killed these monks in Puguang Temple should not be monks from Puguang Temple... because the monks recently accepted by Puguang Temple are all novice monks, such as Zhicheng and the others. One generation, I stopped accepting disciples four years ago."
"If the survivor of the Zhou family is a monk from Puguang Temple, he will not wait until four years before taking action... Therefore, it can be inferred that the murderer who killed Zhicheng and the others can only be someone who has been in Puguang Temple in the recent period, and must be People who were at Puguang Temple during the nights when we started."
"And there are three such people...that is, the three pilgrims trapped in Puguang Temple."
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed and he said: "So, the murderer is among the three pilgrims?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Based on the existing clues and the fact that the government is paying attention to the murder case in Puguang Temple, he can't wait to take action on the third person. It can be inferred that he simply can't wait... If it was a monk, he would have taken action long ago. I won’t wait until now.”
Sun Fujia thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng continued: "Before departure, the Chang'an County Magistrate also ordered people to send the information of these three pilgrims to me."
"One of these three pilgrims is a relative of an official in Chang'an City. He has been living in Chang'an City. Their identities are confirmed and they cannot be survivors of the Zhou family!"
"The other two are not from Chang'an, they both came to Chang'an from other places...and, based on their past records, we can know that it was their first time to come to Chang'an, and they both came to Chang'an within half a year. "
"And as soon as they came to Chang'an, they visited Puguang Temple frequently... It's obvious that their goal is Puguang Temple!"
"Although we don't know who among them is the survivor of the Zhou family, based on this, many things are worthy of our careful consideration."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and deliberately paused, leaving everyone time to think and digest.
Then he said slowly: "Seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an for the first time, and he had reason to go to the temple to worship Buddha for his mother."
"Six months ago, the survivors of the Zhou family came back to pay homage to the dead souls. Wang Pengcheng discovered it immediately and quickly returned to find the survivor of the Zhou family! The two were suspected of meeting."
"Not long after that, the survivors of the Zhou family went to Chang'an for the first time. After arriving in Chang'an, they plunged into Puguang Temple. The goal seemed very clear. After that, they continued to go to Puguang Temple many times in a row."
"Finally, a few days ago, the executors of the Zhou family's extermination case were killed one after another by the survivors of the Zhou family!"
Lin Feng said, "After sorting out the chronological order, did you find anything?"
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard Lin Feng's words.
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he was the first to show surprise, saying: "It was obviously the first time for the survivors of the Zhou family to go to Chang'an, why did they go directly to Puguang Temple? That way, it seemed... as if they had a clear goal. The destination of Chang’an is the same as Puguang Temple!”
Zhuang Yan nodded and said: "It does seem like this... But this is his first time going to Chang'an. Why is his goal so clear... Did he know that the thieves were hiding in Puguang Temple before? That's not right. If he knew before, Then he must have gone a long time ago, and Zhicheng and the others have never left the temple, how could he know that they were hiding in Puguang Temple before going to Puguang Temple?"
"Unless..." Zhuang Yan seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened.
Sun Fujia took a deep breath and nodded: "Unless someone has been to Puguang Temple, met Zhao Peng and the others, and knew that the Zhou family survivors were looking for them, so they told the Zhou family survivors about Zhao Peng and the others! Combined with the fact that Wang Pengcheng may have met with the survivors of the Zhou family half a year ago, and the fact that Wang Pengcheng visited Chang'an City exactly seven months ago..."
Everyone listened to Sun Fuga's words, and their hearts were filled with doubts.
They looked at Sun Fujia nervously, and then heard Sun Fujia say in a deep voice: "No surprise, it was when Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an seven months ago that he found traces of Zhao Peng and the others, but he went to Chang'an on official business. I can't stay here for long, so I can't kill people and silence them."
"And Chang'an City is not something he can just go to if he wants. Exactly six months ago, he discovered the Zhou family survivors, so he came up with a plan to tell the Zhou family survivors their whereabouts to Zhao Peng and others, and use the Zhou family survivors to Go silence him!"
Brush it!
Sun Fujia's words made everyone's pupils tremble and their faces turned pale.
Their mouths were open, dumbfounded!
No one really expected that there would be such a development!
Is it really?
They couldn't help but look to Lin Feng for confirmation.
Then they saw Lin Feng slowly say: "Dr. Sun's conclusion is similar to mine."
"Since Wang Pengcheng has always been paying attention to Zhou Zhai and wanted to kill Zhao Peng and others, he would never give Zhao Peng and others a chance to escape after he saw that Zhou Zhai was haunted, and he also knew the entrance and exit of the Zhou family's secret passage. , in such a short period of time, people will not be lost, so I concluded that he must have seen survivors of the Zhou family."
"But as you said, it is impossible for two people to get along peacefully when they meet... But they do get along well, so there is only one possibility... that is, the survivors of the Zhou family knew that Wang Pengcheng was an accomplice, but did not know that Wang Pengcheng was the mastermind. , and Wang Pengcheng is so good at pretending, just like he shed tears of regret in front of us just now, he burst into tears to gain the trust of the survivors of the Zhou family."
"After that, Wang Pengcheng told Zhao Peng, the survivor of the Zhou family, where they were hiding, and wanted to use the help of the survivors of the Zhou family to eliminate future troubles for him."
"As long as Zhao Peng and the others are dead, he is not afraid that his secret will be leaked. As for the survivors of the Zhou family... After he takes revenge, he will definitely come back to pay homage to his family, so Wang Pengcheng will also have the opportunity to finally silence him."
"In this case, he can kill all the people involved! No more worries!"
Everyone felt frightened in their hearts after listening to Lin Feng's words.
They looked at Wang Pengcheng and felt that the familiar Wang Pengcheng in front of them seemed so strange at this moment.
Not only did he harm the whole Zhou family, but he also used the survivors of the Zhou family as his knife to help him eliminate future troubles!
Wang Pengcheng's insidiousness really refreshed their understanding over and over again as the truth was revealed.
Lin Feng also looked at Wang Pengcheng, looking at the way Wang Pengcheng looked at him in horror, and said slowly: "But the survivors of the Zhou family don't completely believe you. Even if they heard that Zhao Peng and the others were hiding in Puguang Temple, he didn't I went to Puguang Temple over and over again to confirm, and only after confirming everything did I take action, so it was delayed for another six months."
"Wang Pengcheng, is this really the case?" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask.
Sun Fujia looked at him coldly: "There is no use hiding it now. When we return to Chang'an, we will still know the whole story."
When the government officials heard this, they all stared at Wang Pengcheng.
But Wang Pengcheng just stared at Lin Feng, his expression frightened and his whole body trembling.
Looking at Lin Feng's expression, it was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
At this moment, Wang Pengcheng no longer needed to answer.
Everyone understood everything.
It was just as Lin Feng guessed!
Wang Pengcheng actually used Zhou family survivors to make his sword and help him kill people!
Their complex moods are indescribable at this moment.
Lin Feng saw Wang Pengcheng looking at him nervously. His dark eyes became deeper and deeper. His gaze came into contact with Wang Pengcheng's eyes. Wang Pengcheng felt as if the dirtiest and most disgusting places in his heart were being spied on.
"I think……"
Lin Feng raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "You must have been paying attention to the news in Chang'an in the past six months, right? You want to know whether the survivors of the Zhou family who were used as swordsmen by you have succeeded... So, when I first arrived, Are you very happy? Because you succeeded."
Wang Pengcheng gasped for air, as if he was drowning, and his scarlet eyes stared at Lin Feng in horror.
"But blessings and misfortunes depend on it. You didn't expect... The purpose of the survivors of the Zhou family is not just to kill for revenge. He also hopes that the murder of the Zhou family can be brought to light again and the truth can be truly revealed... Therefore, I am not only He brought the news you wanted, and he came with the obsession of an avenger who has been chasing murderers for ten years, so that the truth can be revealed!"
"And now..."
Under the firelight, Lin Feng was like the only light in the night.
He looked around the desolate mansion, looking at the charred building, and the desperate cries and roars of the Zhou family that night ten years ago seemed to ring in his ears. He closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "And now, The belated truth was finally revealed...but it was a full ten years late."
(End of this chapter)
The arrest record in Lin Feng's hand was blown by the night wind, trembling violently, like a kite trying to break free.
The firelight shone on the paper, allowing Zhuang Yan and others who were close to the paper to see the names on the paper very clearly.
The names were densely packed, with more than twenty names written down.
Among them, several names are circled.
Lin Feng said slowly: "The names circled are the relatives of Zhao Peng and others."
"There are their parents, their children, their brothers and sisters..."
"The reasons for the arrest written in this arrest record are either gathering a crowd to cause trouble, stealing other people's property, or being suspected of being an internal agent of other forces and needing to be arrested and interrogated."
"There are various reasons, you can see..."
Lin Feng glanced at Wang Pengcheng, whose eyes were wide and his pupils were trembling violently, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "You really tried your best to arrest them properly and control Zhao Peng's fatal weakness."
The veins on Wang Pengcheng's face began to beat, and the blood vessels circled ferociously on his forehead, looking a little crazy and terrifying.
He gritted his teeth, and his voice seemed to be spitting out from between his teeth: "They committed crimes back then, and it was reasonable for me to arrest them. As a county captain, can't I catch a few ordinary people who committed crimes?"
"Ordinary people who committed crimes?"
Lin Feng smiled coldly.
He took out another piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is the list of released persons, the date, and the reason for release!"
In the Tang Dynasty, or in other words, every dynasty, there was a strict prison system.
Detailed records must be kept when arresting criminals and releasing criminals.
If it takes decades or centuries, these records may be lost.
But it has only been ten years now, and it is still the heyday of Zhenguan. Zheng County has not been attacked by war again, so these records have been preserved in great detail.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said calmly: "You said that they are all ordinary people who committed crimes. Then can you explain to me why when they were finally released, the reasons given were all acquittals?"
"You said they were guilty, where is the crime?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned, his eyes flickered for a moment, and said: "Back then, the situation was chaotic, and there were many people who took advantage of the chaos. In order to maintain the stability of Zheng County, I would rather catch a thousand wrong ones than let one go... So There is nothing you can do if you accidentally arrest a few wrong people."
"Is there nothing you can do about it?"
Lin Feng laughed and said: "Indeed, you can make an excuse, saying that you accidentally caught the wrong one, but what about the release time?"
Wang Pengcheng's expression condensed.
Lin Feng pointed at the date on the paper, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring at Wang Pengcheng: "The dates you released them were all on the same day, and this same day... was the day after the Zhou family massacre! You again How to explain it?"
"what?"
Zhuang Yan was startled and asked, "They were all released on the second day of the Zhou family massacre?"
The others also stared wide-eyed.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Does Magistrate Zhuang think it's a coincidence?"
"The relatives of the five Zhao Peng people were all arrested before the Zhou family's murder case, and their release time happened to be the day after the Zhou family's murder case, and the reason why they were arrested was not at all because of the crime. The case was closed, but the wrong arrest was made..."
"It just so happens that Zhao Peng and the other five are the real executors of the Zhou family's extermination case! They and Wang Pengcheng are still co-conspirators!"
He looked at Zhuang Yan and said with a half-smile: "County Magistrate Zhuang, you taste it! You taste it carefully! With so many things put together, who do you think controls whose destiny? Who can order who to act?"
Zhuang Yan's face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you even think about it?"
"Obviously, it was Wang Pengcheng who used Zhao Peng's relatives to coerce Zhao Peng and others to obey his orders. After Zhao Peng and the others killed everyone in the Zhou family, Wang Pengcheng fulfilled his promise and released their relatives."
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
"What Magistrate Zhuang said is right, I also think this is the case."
"If only one person's relatives were arrested, it could still be a coincidence, but if all five people's relatives were arrested, then it can't be a coincidence!"
"My mother-in-law, Queen of Wang County, has been cured of her illness. She no longer has any weaknesses. Instead, he captured Zhao Peng's relatives and was able to coerce them."
"I never expected that County Lieutenant Wang would be such a person!"
"What else is there to say about County Lieutenant Wang? Bah! He is just a despicable, sinister and vicious villain. Does he deserve the title of County Lieutenant?"
"Wang Pengcheng is so hidden. If Lin Temple hadn't been re-investigating the case, we would never have known that he was so insidious!"
The government officials were whispering to each other and discussing a lot.
Zhuang Yan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and blamed himself: "Lin Si Zheng, it was Xianguan's negligence. Xianguan never found out that Xianguan's subordinates turned out to be such a cruel and ruthless person who harbored evil intentions!"
Seeing Zhuang Yan blaming himself, Lin Feng shook his head and comforted: "There is no need for Magistrate Zhuang to blame himself. First of all, you are not the county magistrate who personally experienced the case. It had been several years since you took office. You don't pay attention to this case." normal."
"Secondly, even if you witnessed the case, Wang Pengcheng's plan was very thorough. First, Xie Fang's family was regarded as prisoners, and then the five related Liu Fei were regarded as scapegoats on the second level. How could you know that the real murderer would be from a village? What about the five ordinary people who have nothing to do with the Zhou family?"
"Since you don't know the existence of the five of them, how can you pay attention to whether their relatives have been arrested or released?"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "The reason why I investigated this is because the five Zhao Peng people I discovered first were the real culprits, and I also knew that Wang Pengcheng was also an accomplice. I found clues based on the results. , naturally it is more purposeful and easier.”
Listening to Lin Feng's gentle words, Zhuang Yan was filled with emotion.
He used to only think that Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was terrifying, but now, he was even more impressed by Lin Feng's personality charm.
He took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Thank you Lin Sizheng. Lin Sizheng's words made me feel a lot more comfortable."
Lin Feng smiled, looked at Wang Pengcheng again, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Pengcheng clenched his fists tightly with both hands, his nails dug into his flesh, and blood flowed out.
His eyes were scarlet, like an enraged lion, staring at Lin Feng: "If I had known you would check those, I should have destroyed these records long ago!"
When everyone heard this, the look of disappointment on their faces was completely fixed.
Because Wang Pengcheng's words undoubtedly acknowledged Lin Feng's inference.
Lin Feng's previous inference, no matter how reasonable it sounded, was still an inference, but now that Wang Pengcheng admitted it, it was already a fact.
He is really the mastermind behind the Zhou family's murder!
Zhuang Yan looked at Wang Pengcheng with a complicated expression, shook his head and said, "I thought you would continue to quibble and insist that all this is a coincidence."
Lin Feng smiled, but there was no surprise, and said: "When I wanted to go back to Puguang Temple to trace the identity of the person back then, he couldn't wait to escape overnight. This proves that he believes that when I find out those people hiding in Puguang Temple, Finally, it will be confirmed that he is the mastermind.”
"This shows that those thieves must have ironclad evidence pointing to him. Otherwise, if it is true as he said, he was forced to cooperate and had no idea what the thieves did, and he only did something that was not Even if he goes to watch the night outside the Zhou Mansion, even if he will be implicated in the case, it will never lead to death, and he may not even be able to spend a few years in jail."
Li Shimin was very cautious about the death penalty and specially set up a system of five memorials. The so-called five memorials meant two memorials two days before the execution and three memorials on the day of execution, giving Li Shimin a chance to repent.
Therefore, if there is no evidence pointing to Wang Pengcheng as the mastermind, Wang Pengcheng did not kill anyone with his own hands, and his hands were not stained with blood, then he would never have died.
"Compared with hiding one's name, being frightened, and having nowhere to go, the result is just a few years in prison at most... Besides, he is the county captain of Zheng County, and he is familiar with the jailers in the prison. Even in prison, he will not It would be too uncomfortable, so why would he run away overnight?”
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded immediately.
He said: "I thought he finally realized his conscience and stopped quibbling. It turns out that he gave up because he knew he couldn't quibble at all!"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he scratched his head and said: "Father, since Zhao Peng and the others have the ironclad evidence of Wang Pengcheng, and Wang Pengcheng also knows this, how can he keep Zhao Peng and the others alive if he is so insidious and vicious?"
“Isn’t that always leaving yourself with the risk of exposure?”
After hearing Zhao Shiwu's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
Zhao Shiwu thought he had said something wrong. His face turned red and he said in embarrassment: "I, I just said it casually, don't worry about it."
Lin Feng saw this and smiled: "No! Fifteen, you asked this question very well."
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Feng.
Just listen to Lin Feng say: "Through the analysis I just made, we all know what kind of person Wang Pengcheng is."
"He acted carefully and planned carefully. In the case of the Zhou family's extermination, he never personally killed anyone. He always acted as a poor person who was coerced... So how could he give someone like this... Leaving yourself such a big risk?”
"Not to mention that he has no humanity. When facing the Zhou family who helped him, he can retaliate with evil. How can he not bear to do something to his so-called associates who were coerced by him and had to be stained with blood?"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he was very puzzled and said, "But he still didn't take action."
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that he didn't do it, it's that he couldn't do it."
"Can't do anything?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan and said: "Magistrate Zhuang, you just said that Wang Pengcheng released Zhao Peng and his relatives on the second day of the Zhou family murder case to fulfill his promise... But in my opinion, people like Wang Pengcheng , I will never do anything like fulfilling my promise.”
"The reason why he quickly released Zhao Peng and his family was probably because he didn't dare to let them go. He was afraid that Zhao Peng and the others would reveal his conspiracy and expose him, so he could only release them first to appease Zhao Peng and the others."
Zhuang Yan was startled, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng had a gloomy face and cold eyes, but he did not refute. It seemed that it was exactly what Lin Feng said.
Lin Feng continued: "Zhao Peng and the others were able to threaten Wang Pengcheng because they obviously had important evidence. But how could someone like Wang Pengcheng let them go? Even if he pretended that he couldn't leave because he had to lead the government officials to put out the fire that night, once he had the chance, Yes, he will definitely kill someone and silence him. Only in this way can he feel completely at ease."
As he said that, Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Don't forget, Wang Pengcheng got Zhao Peng's new household registration information, and Wang Pengcheng prepared the place of residence for them. Don't think that this is Wang Pengcheng's kindness, for them. Consider the road ahead.”
"In fact, with the transfer, Wang Pengcheng can know where they have gone! With the household registration information, whether they use new household registration information or not, Wang Pengcheng can clearly know their identities! In this case, they ran away No matter how fast, Wang Pengcheng can easily find them and kill them!"
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's pupils shrank.
Ordinary government officials only felt a chill, instantly rising from the soles of their feet to the sky.
That horrible chill, that icy feeling, made their hands and feet feel cold.
They never expected that the escape route Wang Pengcheng seemed to have prepared for Zhao Peng and the others was actually to make it easier for him to kill people and silence them!
Zhuang Yan also widened his eyes and swallowed subconsciously.
When Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fuga saw this, they both felt a little cold all over.
In fact, Wang Pengcheng's cruelty exceeded their expectations.
He really took hypocrisy to the extreme!
"Is this really the case?" Zhuang Yan said with his scalp numb.
Lin Fengxuan looked at Zhuang Yan and said slowly: "What Zhao Peng and the others did later can prove this."
"what?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said calmly: "The three monks who were killed in Puguang Temple can now be confirmed to be three of Zhao Peng and the others. Before I came to Zheng County, the Chang'an County Magistrate had compiled the information about Zhicheng, Zhihe and Zhiguang. The trustee sent it to me."
"So I know all the information about the three of them when they entered the temple."
"First of all, it's the time for them to enter the temple!"
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: "The time when Zhicheng and the other three entered the temple was the beginning of the sixth year of Wude, and the time when the Zhou family massacre occurred was October of the fifth year of Wude."
"That is to say, they hurriedly entered the temple to become monks not long after the massacre."
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Magistrate Zhuang, why do you think they entered the temple to become monks in such a hurry?"
"You know, at that time, they had just obtained countless wealth from the Zhou family! They had just obtained a new identity and could enjoy the hard-won wealth!"
"They finally got so much money, but they didn't enjoy it at all. They just went to the temple on the mountain and lived a vegetarian life every day, either chanting sutras or ringing bells! Do you think this is reasonable?"
"This……"
Zhuang Yan frowned tightly.
He thought for a while, rolled his eyes for a long time, but could only shake his head and said: "It is indeed unreasonable! And at that time, Xie Fang's family had already scapegoated them, and they did not have to worry about being wanted by the court... So at this time It’s indeed a bit strange to enter the temple without hesitation.”
The others thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Through the extermination of the family, I finally got countless wealth, but in the end I didn't enjoy it at all, so I went to become a monk in a temple in the mountains, went to the temple to eat vegetarian food and chant sutras, and my life was not as good as in Zhou Mansion. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't matter. Something is wrong.
"and also!"
Lin Feng continued: "Just now when I asked Wang Pengcheng about the new household registration status he prepared for the five Zhao Peng people, Wang Pengcheng told us five names."
Everyone nodded hurriedly, they all heard it.
"but……"
Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You may not know...the five names Wang Pengcheng gave me are the same as the names given to me by the Chang'an County Magistrate, and the names on the household registration information of Zhicheng and the others before they became monks. …”
He looked at everyone, paused deliberately, and then continued: "...It's completely inappropriate!"
"what!?"
"The name doesn't match?"
"how come?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Wang Pengcheng and said sternly: "Are you still deceiving us!?"
Wang Pengcheng had a gloomy face, frowned, and said, "This kind of thing has no impact on me at all. Why should I deceive you about this matter?"
Zhuang Yan was startled for a moment and frowned: "You didn't lie to us?"
"Then why..."
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Why can't the household registration information be correct?"
Everyone was confused. Wang Pengcheng didn't lie, and it was impossible and unnecessary for Lin Feng to lie. What was going on?
Why are household registration information different?
They all looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Lin Feng met everyone's gaze of knowledge and smiled: "He did not deceive us, but Zhicheng's and his family's household registration information is indeed different... But Zhicheng and the others are indeed Zhao Peng and the others, not two waves of people, so there can only be one kind of explanation."
Everyone held their breath and looked at Lin Feng nervously.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Pengcheng, and said slowly: "That's just like Wang Pengcheng forged household registration information for Zhao Peng and the others... After the Zhou family massacre, after Zhao Peng and the others left Zheng County, they found a way to give them I forged another household registration information."
"At that time, the world was in chaos, and it was extremely difficult to count household registration information. There were many hidden populations that were not counted. The 'equal land system' and the 'renting system' were promulgated in the seventh year of Wude, and the household registration system in Wude five years Management is far less strict, so as long as you have money, it is not difficult to forge household registration information.”
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded.
As those who had experienced that era, it was easy for them to understand Lin Feng's words.
Lin Feng said: "Taken together, we can have an intuitive understanding of Zhao Peng's itinerary."
"In early October of the fifth year of Wude, they caused the massacre of the Zhou family, and then left Zheng County with the help of Wang Pengcheng... But as soon as they left, they non-stop created a forged document for themselves. Household registration information, but after getting the new household registration information, I didn’t even have time to enjoy a good life, and hurriedly ran to become a monk in a temple in the mountains!"
"There was only less than two months between them entering the temple and the murder of the Zhou family. During this time, they had to forge household registration information and rush on the road. It can be said that they did not have a day to rest..."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Why do you think Zhao Peng and the others acted so abnormally and did all this in such a hurry?"
Lin Feng has reminded him to this extent. If everyone present does not understand, it would be too stupid.
Zhuang Yan's eyes widened and he said, "Run for your life! Hide! You don't want to be discovered!"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Who don't you want to be discovered? Who are you hiding from?"
Zhuang Yan's pupils were beating violently, and his face was full of surprise. He couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng and said, "Who else can it be!?"
"After they left Zheng County, they were so anxious to forge their household registration information again. It was clear that they wanted to get rid of Wang Pengcheng. After all, only Wang Pengcheng knew their identities before and after the forgery!"
"So it's obvious that they don't want to be discovered by Wang Pengcheng! And the reason why they hurried to the temple is because there are few people in the temple. As long as they are not entertaining pilgrims outside, it is difficult for anyone to find them, so in the temple Inside, they are the safest!”
Everyone nodded heavily after listening to Zhuang Yan's words.
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "It seems that Magistrate Zhuang has understood everything."
He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said slowly: "Now let's go back to the question - does Wang Pengcheng not want to kill people and silence them to avoid future troubles?"
"Obviously, it's not that he doesn't want to kill people! Of course, he has prepared everything in advance. After the matter in Zheng County is resolved, he will be able to find Zhao Peng and the others based on their residence and household registration information, and then kill them and silence them!"
"It's just that he didn't expect...Zhao Peng and the others had actually realized that Wang Pengcheng might be trying to burn bridges, so they were very smart and directly gave up the household registration information and residence that Wang Pengcheng had prepared for them, and spent their own money to forge new ones. identity."
"In this way, Wang Pengcheng has completely lost their traces. Even if he wants to kill them, he can't find them." Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Wang Pengcheng is cunning, and Zhao Peng and the others are no less generous." ."
Sun Fujia couldn't help but said: "But Zhao Peng and the others are decisive enough. Even if they have a lot of wealth, they can give up their luxurious life without hesitation and hide in the temple decisively to live a vegetarian life by ringing bells, chanting Buddha's name, etc." day."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The consequence of not being decisive is that Wang Pengcheng will probably find them, and then they will be greeted by death! How can they not be decisive?"
"Not to mention……"
Lin Feng lowered his head, looked at the arrest list in his hand, and said slowly: "Their relatives are still in Zheng County... If they can survive, it will be a shock to Wang Pengcheng. Wang Pengcheng will never dare to treat their families badly. , but once they die, the safety of their families cannot be guaranteed."
"So even if it's for their families, they have to survive."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded sadly.
Who would have thought that after the murder of the Zhou family, the criminals who had committed numerous crimes would still have such intrigues and schemes!
None of these people are stupid.
But after thinking about it, if any of them were stupid, they might have died long ago, and they would not be able to wait for the revenge of the Zhou family survivors.
revenge……
When Zhuang Yan thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh again. He said, "No matter how decisive Zhao Peng and the others were, they still didn't expect that one day they would be found by the survivors of the Zhou family... They escaped Wang Pengcheng's pursuit, but He did not escape the revenge of the survivors of the Zhou family."
Zhao Shiwu heard this, thought for a while, and said: "This is what is called not not repaying, the time has not come yet, this is the retribution they deserve."
Everyone else nodded.
After all, Zhao Peng and Wang Pengcheng battled wits and courage, and finally evaded pursuit and hid in a mountain temple. However, in the end, they still died at the hands of the survivors of the Zhou family. If this was not retribution, it would be unexplainable.
But who knew that when Lin Feng heard what they said, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Retribution?"
He looked at everyone and said, "Wait until I finish talking about a few coincidences, then you can judge whether this is retribution."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.
They subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.
I heard Lin Feng say: "When I first arrived in Zheng County, I inquired about the state of Zhou Mansion's desertion... Logically speaking, a mansion as big as Zhou Mansion and in such a good location should not have been abandoned for ten years."
"So out of curiosity, I asked people to inquire... and found out that the Zhou Mansion has been haunted twice in the past ten years."
After listening to Lin Feng's words, a government official said, "Indeed, there have been two ghosts in the Zhou Mansion."
"I remember... the first time, probably a year after the Zhou family massacre, when the watchman passed by the door of Zhou's mansion, he heard the sound of ghost crying coming from the Zhou mansion, which frightened the watchman to the point of illness. a few days."
"I also remember this incident... and the second time the Zhou family was haunted happened half a year ago!"
A tall and thin government servant turned pale when talking about this incident. He said: "At that time, a group of us were patrolling at night, but when we passed by the gate of Zhou's Mansion, we heard something moving inside Zhou's Mansion. , and then we used the closed door to take a look inside the Zhou Mansion..."
He looked around, looking very nervous, and his voice was much lower, and said: "As a result, we saw a will-o'-the-wisp, a will-o'-the-wisp... In this empty mansion, there was a will-o’-the-wisp floating in the air, and we all saw it. Scared to death!”
Hearing what this yamen servant said, other yamen servants also agreed.
"I saw a will-o'-the-wisp too!"
"Will-o'-the-wisps really do exist!"
"The blue will-o'-the-wisps are floating in the air, very scary!"
As these government officials spoke, everyone felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. At first, they only felt that the night wind was howling, but now, they suddenly felt that the night wind was a bit colder.
Because they witnessed the second haunting with their own eyes, their reaction was even more intense.
Even Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but hug himself tightly, looking a little nervous.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said: "Before, you didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family, so you would think it was haunted. This is normal... But now, you all know that there are survivors in the Zhou family, how can you still think that this is haunting?" Where’s the haunting?”
Everyone was startled.
Then a government official opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "Isn't that... a ghost? Is it a survivor of the Zhou family?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
"Other than the survivors of the Zhou family, who would cry here?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "In the first year, the watchman heard the sound of sobbing. It must be that the survivors of the Zhou family came here to pay homage to the dead souls."
"Why did he pay homage at night? It was because during the day, people were coming and going outside, and he was afraid that his presence would be discovered."
A yamen official said: "But when we came to check the next day, we found no ashes of burned paper."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "He can't be exposed yet. After all, he hasn't found the real culprit yet, and the revenge has not been avenged. Naturally, he has to be careful. So after burning paper to pay homage, he will definitely clean up the scene so that no one will find him." exist."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded suddenly. What Lin Feng said made sense.
Lin Feng looked at them and said, "Because you don't know that there are survivors in the Zhou family, it's easy for you to think that it is haunted. But you must know that Wang Pengcheng knows the truth about the Zhou family's murder case, and he knows the real murderer Zhao The five Peng people are still at large."
"So, what do you think... when Wang Pengcheng knew the truth about the Zhou family's murder case, he suddenly heard a sound in the Zhou house, what would he think?"
Zhuang Yan's eyes flashed and he said hurriedly: "He will think that someone from Zhao Peng and the others is back!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "That's right! Because he knows more secrets, he will have completely different judgments on the same thing."
"It's just that when he found out, it was already the next day. When the Yamen went to search the next day, there was no trace of the person coming, so that time, Wang Pengcheng returned without success."
The government officials all nodded. They had experienced those things themselves and knew that what Lin Feng said was the truth.
"but!"
Lin Feng's voice changed: "This incident finally gave Wang Pengcheng a reminder, letting Wang Pengcheng know that since Zhao Peng and the others will come back once, they will definitely come back a second time, so he must be very careful about the haunting of Zhou House. More attentive and keener than anything else!”
"Just like that, half a year ago, the second haunting happened!"
Lin Feng looked at the government officials and said, "I would like to know if Wang Pengcheng was there when you were patrolling the night when the ghost was haunted for the second time?"
The expressions of the government officials all changed drastically: "Here! We are the ones led by Wang Pengcheng who patrol the night! It was Wang Pengcheng who was the first to notice something going on in the Zhou Mansion!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he laughed: "He has been paying attention to the hauntings in Zhou Mansion, how could he discover the movement later than you?"
"Then what did he do that night after discovering the will-o'-the-wisp in Zhou Mansion?"
The government officials frowned and thought for a while, and soon thought of it. After all, their memories were still very clear after half a year.
"After we were scared away, Wang Pengcheng said we should not patrol near the Zhou Mansion for the time being."
"Because we were all so frightened that we all agreed with his proposal."
"But not long after we patrolled, he said that there were still some unfinished business matters in the yamen, so he asked us to continue patrolling. He would go back to the yamen to handle the business affairs first, and then come to us after he was done."
Zhuang Yan was startled: "Is there such a thing? How come I don't know about it?"
The officials said: "An hour later, Wang Pengcheng came to see us again. Nothing else happened that night, so we didn't think much about it and didn't report it to Magistrate Zhuang."
"Yes, and Wang Pengcheng reported the results of the night patrol to Magistrate Zhuang. Whether he said it or not, we don't know."
Zhuang Yan nodded calmly. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "They are right. If Wang Pengcheng doesn't tell me, I won't know that he left alone that night."
Lin Feng didn't care about this, he said: "With the first haunting, County Magistrate Zhuang should know what Wang Pengcheng is doing, right?"
Zhuang Yan said with an ugly face: "Of course he sneaked to the Zhou Mansion to find the person who was mistaken for being a ghost... But he didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family. He thought it was Zhao Peng and the others. "
Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng and said, "But he probably hasn't seen the Zhou family survivors, right? Otherwise, with Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness and the Zhou family survivors' desire to avenge the Zhou family, the two of them will not live in peace. ."
Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Zhuang Yan's words.
But Lin Feng said: "No! I think they should have met."
"what?"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhuang Yan's eyes widened: "We met!? How is that possible?"
"If they meet, they will definitely not let each other go. How can they both live well?"
Others nodded quickly, they all had the same idea.
Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness has been witnessed.
The survivors of the Zhou family killed three people in succession in Puguang Temple to take revenge. From this, it can be seen that he is by no means a soft-hearted person in order to take revenge.
So how can two enemies meet and get along peacefully?
Lin Feng said: "Don't worry... I found something when I asked Dr. Sun to secretly investigate Wang Pengcheng."
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yan asked hurriedly.
Lin Feng said: "Dr. Sun found Wang Pengcheng's crime record and found that seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng had visited Chang'an City once for official business... This was his first time to Chang'an City in ten years."
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and then nodded: "That's indeed what happened. The lower official opened the detention center for him."
Lin Feng said: "And Dr. Sun also found out that... Wang Pengcheng's mother was seriously ill again, and this time she was really terminally ill. And his mother believed in Buddhism and often went to worship Buddha."
"So do you think it is possible that after Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an, he would go to a temple in Chang'an that is famous for its efficacious prayers to pray for a Buddha for his mother?"
Zhuang Yan frowned and couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng. Wang Pengcheng's eyes suddenly widened at this moment. His scarlet eyes stared straight at Lin Feng for an instant, and the expression on his face suddenly changed significantly.
Could it be... He was shocked: "Did he really go to the temple when he went to Chang'an?"
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "There are also survivors of the Zhou family. He has been looking for the real culprits for so long. It can be seen from his ruthless attacks that three people died in a row... He must be obsessed with revenge. can not wait!"
"That is to say, as long as he finds these real culprits, he will definitely take revenge long ago."
"But in fact, it took him ten years to take revenge. Why?"
Zhuang Yan frowned and guessed: "Because he only found these real murderers not long ago?"
Lin Feng nodded: "This conjecture is the most reasonable... If this is the case, then we can know that the people who killed these monks in Puguang Temple should not be monks from Puguang Temple... because the monks recently accepted by Puguang Temple are all novice monks, such as Zhicheng and the others. One generation, I stopped accepting disciples four years ago."
"If the survivor of the Zhou family is a monk from Puguang Temple, he will not wait until four years before taking action... Therefore, it can be inferred that the murderer who killed Zhicheng and the others can only be someone who has been in Puguang Temple in the recent period, and must be People who were at Puguang Temple during the nights when we started."
"And there are three such people...that is, the three pilgrims trapped in Puguang Temple."
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed and he said: "So, the murderer is among the three pilgrims?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Based on the existing clues and the fact that the government is paying attention to the murder case in Puguang Temple, he can't wait to take action on the third person. It can be inferred that he simply can't wait... If it was a monk, he would have taken action long ago. I won’t wait until now.”
Sun Fujia thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng continued: "Before departure, the Chang'an County Magistrate also ordered people to send the information of these three pilgrims to me."
"One of these three pilgrims is a relative of an official in Chang'an City. He has been living in Chang'an City. Their identities are confirmed and they cannot be survivors of the Zhou family!"
"The other two are not from Chang'an, they both came to Chang'an from other places...and, based on their past records, we can know that it was their first time to come to Chang'an, and they both came to Chang'an within half a year. "
"And as soon as they came to Chang'an, they visited Puguang Temple frequently... It's obvious that their goal is Puguang Temple!"
"Although we don't know who among them is the survivor of the Zhou family, based on this, many things are worthy of our careful consideration."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and deliberately paused, leaving everyone time to think and digest.
Then he said slowly: "Seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an for the first time, and he had reason to go to the temple to worship Buddha for his mother."
"Six months ago, the survivors of the Zhou family came back to pay homage to the dead souls. Wang Pengcheng discovered it immediately and quickly returned to find the survivor of the Zhou family! The two were suspected of meeting."
"Not long after that, the survivors of the Zhou family went to Chang'an for the first time. After arriving in Chang'an, they plunged into Puguang Temple. The goal seemed very clear. After that, they continued to go to Puguang Temple many times in a row."
"Finally, a few days ago, the executors of the Zhou family's extermination case were killed one after another by the survivors of the Zhou family!"
Lin Feng said, "After sorting out the chronological order, did you find anything?"
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard Lin Feng's words.
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he was the first to show surprise, saying: "It was obviously the first time for the survivors of the Zhou family to go to Chang'an, why did they go directly to Puguang Temple? That way, it seemed... as if they had a clear goal. The destination of Chang’an is the same as Puguang Temple!”
Zhuang Yan nodded and said: "It does seem like this... But this is his first time going to Chang'an. Why is his goal so clear... Did he know that the thieves were hiding in Puguang Temple before? That's not right. If he knew before, Then he must have gone a long time ago, and Zhicheng and the others have never left the temple, how could he know that they were hiding in Puguang Temple before going to Puguang Temple?"
"Unless..." Zhuang Yan seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened.
Sun Fujia took a deep breath and nodded: "Unless someone has been to Puguang Temple, met Zhao Peng and the others, and knew that the Zhou family survivors were looking for them, so they told the Zhou family survivors about Zhao Peng and the others! Combined with the fact that Wang Pengcheng may have met with the survivors of the Zhou family half a year ago, and the fact that Wang Pengcheng visited Chang'an City exactly seven months ago..."
Everyone listened to Sun Fuga's words, and their hearts were filled with doubts.
They looked at Sun Fujia nervously, and then heard Sun Fujia say in a deep voice: "No surprise, it was when Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an seven months ago that he found traces of Zhao Peng and the others, but he went to Chang'an on official business. I can't stay here for long, so I can't kill people and silence them."
"And Chang'an City is not something he can just go to if he wants. Exactly six months ago, he discovered the Zhou family survivors, so he came up with a plan to tell the Zhou family survivors their whereabouts to Zhao Peng and others, and use the Zhou family survivors to Go silence him!"
Brush it!
Sun Fujia's words made everyone's pupils tremble and their faces turned pale.
Their mouths were open, dumbfounded!
No one really expected that there would be such a development!
Is it really?
They couldn't help but look to Lin Feng for confirmation.
Then they saw Lin Feng slowly say: "Dr. Sun's conclusion is similar to mine."
"Since Wang Pengcheng has always been paying attention to Zhou Zhai and wanted to kill Zhao Peng and others, he would never give Zhao Peng and others a chance to escape after he saw that Zhou Zhai was haunted, and he also knew the entrance and exit of the Zhou family's secret passage. , in such a short period of time, people will not be lost, so I concluded that he must have seen survivors of the Zhou family."
"But as you said, it is impossible for two people to get along peacefully when they meet... But they do get along well, so there is only one possibility... that is, the survivors of the Zhou family knew that Wang Pengcheng was an accomplice, but did not know that Wang Pengcheng was the mastermind. , and Wang Pengcheng is so good at pretending, just like he shed tears of regret in front of us just now, he burst into tears to gain the trust of the survivors of the Zhou family."
"After that, Wang Pengcheng told Zhao Peng, the survivor of the Zhou family, where they were hiding, and wanted to use the help of the survivors of the Zhou family to eliminate future troubles for him."
"As long as Zhao Peng and the others are dead, he is not afraid that his secret will be leaked. As for the survivors of the Zhou family... After he takes revenge, he will definitely come back to pay homage to his family, so Wang Pengcheng will also have the opportunity to finally silence him."
"In this case, he can kill all the people involved! No more worries!"
Everyone felt frightened in their hearts after listening to Lin Feng's words.
They looked at Wang Pengcheng and felt that the familiar Wang Pengcheng in front of them seemed so strange at this moment.
Not only did he harm the whole Zhou family, but he also used the survivors of the Zhou family as his knife to help him eliminate future troubles!
Wang Pengcheng's insidiousness really refreshed their understanding over and over again as the truth was revealed.
Lin Feng also looked at Wang Pengcheng, looking at the way Wang Pengcheng looked at him in horror, and said slowly: "But the survivors of the Zhou family don't completely believe you. Even if they heard that Zhao Peng and the others were hiding in Puguang Temple, he didn't I went to Puguang Temple over and over again to confirm, and only after confirming everything did I take action, so it was delayed for another six months."
"Wang Pengcheng, is this really the case?" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask.
Sun Fujia looked at him coldly: "There is no use hiding it now. When we return to Chang'an, we will still know the whole story."
When the government officials heard this, they all stared at Wang Pengcheng.
But Wang Pengcheng just stared at Lin Feng, his expression frightened and his whole body trembling.
Looking at Lin Feng's expression, it was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
At this moment, Wang Pengcheng no longer needed to answer.
Everyone understood everything.
It was just as Lin Feng guessed!
Wang Pengcheng actually used Zhou family survivors to make his sword and help him kill people!
Their complex moods are indescribable at this moment.
Lin Feng saw Wang Pengcheng looking at him nervously. His dark eyes became deeper and deeper. His gaze came into contact with Wang Pengcheng's eyes. Wang Pengcheng felt as if the dirtiest and most disgusting places in his heart were being spied on.
"I think……"
Lin Feng raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "You must have been paying attention to the news in Chang'an in the past six months, right? You want to know whether the survivors of the Zhou family who were used as swordsmen by you have succeeded... So, when I first arrived, Are you very happy? Because you succeeded."
Wang Pengcheng gasped for air, as if he was drowning, and his scarlet eyes stared at Lin Feng in horror.
"But blessings and misfortunes depend on it. You didn't expect... The purpose of the survivors of the Zhou family is not just to kill for revenge. He also hopes that the murder of the Zhou family can be brought to light again and the truth can be truly revealed... Therefore, I am not only He brought the news you wanted, and he came with the obsession of an avenger who has been chasing murderers for ten years, so that the truth can be revealed!"
"And now..."
Under the firelight, Lin Feng was like the only light in the night.
He looked around the desolate mansion, looking at the charred building, and the desperate cries and roars of the Zhou family that night ten years ago seemed to ring in his ears. He closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "And now, The belated truth was finally revealed...but it was a full ten years late."
