People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically
Chapter 114 Motive!The last piece of the puzzle!
Chapter 114 Motive!The last piece of the puzzle!
In the ruined Zhou family mansion with dead grass growing everywhere, as Lin Feng finished speaking, the night wind suddenly roared through the dilapidated building and fell into the ears of everyone, as if dozens of people were whimpering sharply.
Weeping and complaining, it makes people feel a little heavy.
They stared blankly at Lin Feng under the firelight, watching Lin Feng's figure looking towards the dilapidated Zhou family mansion, and listening to Lin Feng's sighing voice, they felt that their hearts were violently shaken at this moment.
The truth that had been concealed for ten years was finally revealed.
But as Lin Feng said, this truth was a full ten years late.
Thinking back on the whole process of the Zhou family's murder, Zhuang Yan, Sun Fuga, and the government officials and officials couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Who would have thought that the truth would be like this, and who would have thought that Wang Pengcheng, a seemingly loyal county lieutenant, would be so cunning and insidious?
First, Xie Fang’s family was made a scapegoat, and they died without any evidence!
Then Guan Liufei and the other five used the trick of secretly exchanging corpses to turn their five dead people into the second level of scapegoats, turning this case into a case of murder of the master by an evil servant!
In the end, it was Zhao Peng and the other five, the real murderers!
No matter who goes to investigate, after three layers of digging, only the five of Zhao Peng will be found to be suspected!
But who would have thought that the real mastermind behind the scenes would be Wang Pengcheng, who has never been stained with a drop of blood and seems to have no reason to take action?
Wang Pengcheng was hiding under three layers of disguise, with a sarcastic smile, watching with cold eyes and contentment as the Zhou family's murder case was faded into dust.
If it weren't for Lin Feng, the truth might have been buried forever.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Wang Pengcheng's cunning and insidiousness was frightening, Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was like a god, but he was like a natural enemy, completely restraining Wang Pengcheng.
No matter how cunning and cunning Wang Pengcheng was like a fox, in the end, he still couldn't escape from the clutches of Lin Feng, a hunter.
So Zhuang Yan was very lucky. Fortunately, Lin Feng came to re-investigate the case. If it had been someone else, the truth might not have been found out.
Thanks to Lin Feng, thanks to Lin Feng!
At this time, everyone else had the same thoughts as Zhuang Yan.
The more they understand Wang Pengcheng's insidiousness, the more fortunate they are that it is the famous detective Lin Feng who comes to investigate the case.
Zhuang Yan exhaled a long breath, looked at Lin Feng, cupped his hands and said: "Although the truth is ten years late, it is better than never knowing it."
Sun Fujia also nodded. He looked at Wang Pengcheng, who was pale and full of despair, with cold eyes, and said slowly: "At least, this truly evil man who committed an unforgivable crime cannot continue to escape justice. He will be punished by himself." All the crimes committed have been paid the most painful price, and everyone in the Zhou family can finally rest in peace."
Everyone nodded when they heard the words.
Lin Feng listened to their words, his eyes swept over the ruins little by little, and finally looked back, nodding slightly.
He took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, looked at Wang Pengcheng again, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.
Lin Feng said: "The Zhou family's murder case ten years ago and the revenge case of Puguang Temple have now had clear results."
"Wang Pengcheng, you set up various conspiracies ten years ago to use the hands of others to wipe out the entire Zhou family...and now ten years later, you have plotted against the survivors of the Zhou family and used his hands to help you silence those who knew about it. "
"Even though I have seen too many insidious and cunning people, you still opened my eyes."
"Whether it's ten years ago or now! You can hide behind the scenes, and you can keep your hands clean and let others be your sword to help you get rid of the people you want to get rid of."
"I have to say that you are indeed very smart, but it's a pity that you only use this smartness to scheme against others, and you use it for heinous and unforgivable crimes!"
After listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng's face was pale and his eyes were bulging forward. He was staring at Lin Feng. His expression contained both fear of Lin Feng and full of anger. Many emotions lingered on his face, making his expression look ferocious and distorted.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how careful my plan is, what can I do? You still found out!"
"I have calculated all the relevant people, so that no one will doubt me. Even if they really find me, I will have a perfect excuse to refuse... But I didn't expect that the person who will push me into the abyss in the end will be It’s you, an irrelevant person!”
He looked aggrieved: "No matter how I plot, I can never calculate that you, Lin Feng, will show up ten years later! So this is not my fault at all..."
Wang Pengcheng raised his head and looked at the dark night sky. He gritted his teeth and roared: "It's God who wants to kill me!"
"Now I finally understand how powerless Xiang Yu was when he committed suicide! God wants to kill me, what can I do?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng's suppressed and angry look and said coldly: "You alone are worthy of being compared with the Overlord of Western Chu?"
"There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. No matter how deep you hide it, even if you don't have an official, there will be others who will expose your conspiracy and find the truth you have hidden!"
"Having committed a crime and made this unforgivable plan, you should have the consciousness to be discovered one day in the future!"
Wang Pengcheng's scarlet eyes were full of Lin Feng's shadow. He sat on the cold ground, looked at Lin Feng, cocked his neck, and sneered: "Lin Feng, winner or loser, you caught me, I admit defeat! Don't you say sarcastic words from above, kill or behead everyone as you please, if I frown, my surname is no longer Wang!"
Wang Pengcheng was obviously still unwilling to give in. Lin Feng looked at him with dark eyes and said slowly: "There is still one last piece of the puzzle to complete the case. Are you going to admit defeat now?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile: "Wang Pengcheng, have you really admitted your defeat...or do you hope that by saying this, I will forget to track down your motive for massacring everyone in the Zhou family?"
After listening to Lin Feng's words, the sneer on Wang Pengcheng's face froze instantly, and his whole movements seemed to be frozen. But soon, he laughed: "I even admitted the crime of the mastermind, and I am still afraid that you will track me down. Motive? What a joke!"
"Besides, there's nothing to find out about my motives!"
"Haven't you ever heard of a feud between a man and a woman? The Zhou family has so much wealth, but they only gave me a small amount of money, which is barely enough to treat my mother's illness."
"I think the Zhou family is so abominable. They have so much money, but they are so picky and picky. They don't even want to share more with me. What is this? This is looking down on me!"
"Since they look down on me, I will naturally take revenge!"
Wang Pengcheng said with a crazy smile on his face: "The more they value their wealth and the more stingy they are, the more I will make them lose everything!"
"So I killed them all! I took away all their wealth! Aren't they stingy? Aren't they reluctant to give me more? Then I will get it myself. I took away all the money of his Zhou family!"
"As for Zhao Peng and the other five..."
Wang Pengcheng sneered: "Don't you know? I haven't actually distributed the money to them yet. My original plan was to tell them that after they settled in according to the status I gave them, I would give them the money... Of course, I How could I give money to these stupid guys? My purpose is to kill them and silence them."
"But who would have thought that these guys didn't even want the money and ran away secretly... But it doesn't matter, it would be better if they ran away. All the money will belong to me!"
Wang Pengcheng laughed wantonly there, talking about his calculations and his conspiracy.
Zhuang Yan and others couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.
They just felt that Wang Pengcheng was a madman.
Just because the Zhou family gave him just the right amount of money when he rescued his mother and didn't give him more money, he became jealous of the Zhou family and thought that the Zhou family looked down on him, so he massacred everyone in his family!
This is the kind of idea only a person with a crazy, dark and low self-esteem can have!
Lin Feng glanced at Zhuang Yan and others, and could easily see their inner thoughts. He smiled and said, "Do you really believe his lies?"
"What?" Zhuang Yan and others were stunned.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng looked directly at Wang Pengcheng with his deep eyes. His expression was calm, neither impatient nor impatient. He looked at Wang Pengcheng with a half-smile, but Wang Pengcheng was stared at by Lin Feng with such an expression. He laughed maniacally at first, and then his laughter gradually became low. , and finally the laughter disappeared, leaving only an embarrassed expression.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Why don't you continue to laugh? Laugh, I want to see how long you can laugh with a guilty conscience?"
Wang Pengcheng's face was ashen and his eyelids were twitching.
You look at me like you're watching a show, you don't believe me at all, and I'm still laughing my ass off!
He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Zhuang Yan also saw clearly at this time, Wang Pengcheng's obviously guilty expression... Could it be that the motives he just mentioned were really all lies to them?
"It seems that Wang Pengcheng, you won't tell me your motives obediently, so I'll have to work hard and make another guess."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.
Even Wang Pengcheng stared at Lin Feng nervously.
Just listen to Lin Feng say: "Wang Pengcheng is not a madman. A madman may kill people randomly, but he can't, so he must have a reason for taking action against the Zhou family."
"And if you want to know the reason, you have to look at what happened between Wang Pengcheng and the Zhou family."
Lin Feng looked at the older government officials and said slowly: "You have known Wang Pengcheng for a long time. Do you know what interactions Wang Pengcheng had with the Zhou family ten years ago?"
The officials looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"I haven't heard of any contact between him and the Zhou family."
"I haven't heard of it...even the Zhou family gave him money to treat his mother's illness. The younger one didn't even know."
"The younger one has never heard anyone mention his relationship with the Zhou family."
Lin Feng listened to their words, nodded slightly, and said, "In other words, as far as all of you know, he has nothing to do with the Zhou family."
The crowd nodded.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Does that mean that before he wiped out the entire Zhou family, the only thing he had to do with the Zhou family was that the Zhou family gave him money to help his mother treat her illness."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng again and said, "Do you know why I was so sure you were lying just now?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned and did not respond.
Lin Feng didn't care. He said calmly: "If it is really the reason you said, then you have a huge psychological problem. This kind of psychological problem will not weaken with the increase of time, but will become worse." As you open the door to sin, you sink completely into it.”
"If this is the case, then in the next ten years, it is impossible for you to behave abnormally at all. When you face difficulties from your superiors, you cannot be without resentment. When faced with other things that make you unhappy, you will also It’s impossible to take it lightly.”
"Even if you can pretend to be very good in front of others, behind the scenes, you will definitely retaliate against them just like you did against the Zhou family, but you didn't do that."
"I have asked about the cases that have occurred in Zheng County in the past ten years. There are no serious and unsolved cases. Everyone who gets along with you does not think there is anything wrong with you. The most important thing is The thing is... the people who have offended you are all fine now! All this can prove that you actually don't have that kind of extremely serious psychological problem at all."
Wang Pengcheng's expression changed slightly. He was about to speak out, but Lin Feng didn't give him a chance.
Lin Feng said lightly: "Since he has no psychological problems, then we can start analyzing the only thing that had anything to do with him between the Zhou family and him!"
"The Zhou family is a family of merchants. Businessmen value profits and money more. They may give porridge to refugees, but they will never do it without any reason. If a mother is seriously ill, they will not hesitate to pay for their own treatment. .”
"so……"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, squinted his eyes, and said, "There must be a reason why the Zhou family will give you money!"
Wang Pengcheng clenched his fists subconsciously.
He arched his back slightly, as if a cat had its fur explode when it encountered something that frightened it.
Lin Feng said: "I can think of three possible reasons."
"First, the Zhou family needs your help!"
"A businessman can't afford to be too late if he can't make a profit, let alone rush to give you money to help your mother treat your illness..."
"So, it's understandable if they want to ask you for help with something."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "Isn't this just a bribe... If the Zhou family encounters any difficulties or wants to accomplish something, bribe Wang Pengcheng to open the door for Wang Pengcheng."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It can be used as a bribe."
Zhuang Yan said: "Do you really want Wang Pengcheng to do something for them?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I have investigated the situation of the Zhou family back then. At that time, the Zhou family was developing very fast, and their business was as hot as cooking oil! They could not only sell cloth to Goguryeo and other surrounding countries , and can also supply cloth to the imperial court, it can be said that the Zhou family has reached the forefront in all aspects."
"To be honest, the Zhou family at that time couldn't be restrained by a county. The magistrates of Zheng County also took the initiative to provide help to the Zhou family. After all, the better the Zhou family's business, the more tax revenue they provided. The more they do, this is all the fault of county officials like them.”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded immediately.
He is now the county magistrate, so he can understand what Lin Feng means very well. If there is a wealthy businessman like the Zhou family in the area under his jurisdiction who can continuously provide tax revenue, he will definitely support it.
Lin Feng said: "So, under the circumstances at that time, the county magistrate would give great support, so what can the Zhou family ask for from the county magistrate? Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out."
Everyone nodded.
What Lin Feng said was reasonable and well-founded, and they were all people who had experienced the situation back then, so they understood what Lin Feng meant better.
"And the second possibility."
Lin Feng continued: "That means Wang Pengcheng has mastered some important secrets of the Zhou family, and used this to coerce the Zhou family. In this case, the Zhou family will have to provide Wang Pengcheng with money to help his mother treat her illness."
Upon hearing this, Sun Fuga, who had handled many similar cases, immediately said: "If that's the case, then Wang Pengcheng would have no reason to massacre the entire Zhou family."
"He holds the ulterior secrets of the Zhou family, which is equivalent to controlling a source of wealth for a long time. As long as he is willing, the Zhou family must always send him money."
"The Zhou family is a businessman, and he is an official. On the territory of Zheng County, the Zhou family does not dare to touch him easily, so he has a complete advantage. There is no need to fear revenge from the Zhou family, and there is no reason to massacre Zhou. The house is full!”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, if this is the case, he has no reason to harm the Zhou family."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "So, the second possibility is not the same, so it can only be the third possibility."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng closely.
They knew that Wang Pengcheng's hidden motives might soon be revealed.
Then, they heard Lin Feng slowly say: "If a businessman provides money, if he is not begging for help or is not forced to threaten, then there is only the last possibility... he is doing business!"
"what!?"
"Doing business!"
Everyone froze for a moment!
He actually didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
But at this moment, when Wang Pengcheng heard Lin Feng's words, his pupils suddenly shrank, his originally curved back suddenly straightened, and his eyes widened, revealing all the pupils. Such a change, in an instant, made people who had been paying attention Zhuang Yan and others, who were following Wang Pengcheng, realized that Lin Feng's words seemed to be right!
Can be traded...what does that mean?
Does it mean that the Zhou family made some kind of deal with Wang Pengcheng, so they gave Wang Pengcheng the money?
But what kind of deal can be done between them?
Everyone looked at Lin Feng closely, and Lin Feng stared at Wang Pengcheng unblinkingly. He took Wang Pengcheng's reaction into consideration, and became more and more certain about his speculation.
He said: "For businessmen, transactions are done by handing over the money and delivering the goods."
"So, maybe it's not that the Zhou family wants to help Wang Pengcheng's mother treat her illness, but that the Zhou family wants to buy something from Wang Pengcheng's hands... Maybe the money is used to treat Wang Pengcheng's mother's illness, maybe it's just a transaction It’s just the result after that.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng.
Zhuang Yan asked: "Wang Pengcheng, is that true? Is the Zhou family going to buy something from you?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably.
But he still had a sneer on his face: "Ridiculous speculation!"
"What can I have on hand that the Zhou family would like?"
"The Zhou family has traveled all over the country and is very rich. If you don't have any good things, why do you have to buy something from me?"
Listening to Wang Pengcheng's words, Zhuang Yan and others also frowned.
Indeed, Wang Pengcheng is a native of Zheng County.
I have never left Zheng County. Is there anything that the Zhou family, which was so prosperous in the past, can take a fancy to?
They were confused and couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "I am only good at reasoning based on clues and logic, but I am not a real god. Of course, I don't know if there are any valuable things in the Wang Pengcheng family that the Zhou family of ten years ago could value."
"but……"
His voice suddenly changed, and he looked at Wang Pengcheng. Then, his eyes moved back and fell on the baggage that Wang Pengcheng was carrying behind him.Lin Feng said slowly: "However, if it is really because the Zhou family likes something of yours that they spend money to buy it, and it is this thing that makes you massacre the Zhou family in the end... you can know that this This thing must have been taken back by you in the end."
"After all, you slaughtered the entire Zhou family just to take it back."
"Then when you give up all your current status and want to escape..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "I think you won't throw it away, right? In other words, you will definitely take it with you."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the baggage behind Wang Pengcheng.
But at this moment, they discovered that Wang Pengcheng's mentality, which he had finally managed to stabilize, completely exploded at this moment.
"You bullshit!"
Wang Pengcheng turned pale and shouted: "Lin Feng, you are talking nonsense!"
Lin Feng said lightly: "From the time we caught you until now, your burden has been carried tightly on your back. Even if you were so desperate just now, your hands subconsciously grabbed the strap of the burden to prevent it from falling. Go down."
"Wang Pengcheng...words can lie, but your subconscious actions from the heart cannot lie!"
Wang Pengcheng listened to Lin Feng's words, as if a mouse saw the cat's sharp claws and patted him, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He suddenly hugged his own baggage, stood up and was about to rush out.
boom!
But the next moment, what was waiting for him was the ruthless kick from Zhao Shiwu, who had already been keeping an eye on him.
Wang Pengcheng was kicked away by Zhao Shiwu and flew backwards.
The officials from Dali Temple directly held Wang Pengcheng down without saying a word.
No matter how much Wang Pengcheng struggled and screamed, it was of no avail. He could only watch as Zhao Shiwu snatched the baggage from his arms.
When Zhuang Yan and others saw this scene, there was no need to say anything more, they understood everything.
Sure enough, everything was as Lin Feng speculated!
Back then, the Zhou family had indeed taken a fancy to something belonging to Wang Pengcheng. The money given to Wang Pengcheng was indeed a business, a transaction!
And Wang Pengcheng, because of this thing, finally destroyed the Zhou family after using the Zhou family to save his mother.
Now that thing is really hidden in the baggage.
I just don’t know what it is that makes Wang Pengcheng care so much that he even goes to the extent of killing the entire Zhou family!
They looked eagerly at the baggage in Zhao Shiwu's hand.
Zhao Shiwu opened the bag, reached into it, and took out the contents. Suddenly, Zhao Shiwu's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Zhao Shiwu suddenly came to Lin Feng quickly and whispered something in Lin Feng's ear.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He looked at Wang Pengcheng, who was struggling like a trapped animal, his eyes flickering, as if he understood something.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, turned around and looked at County Magistrate Zhuang Yan, and said: "County Magistrate Zhuang, that's the truth about the Zhou family's murder case ten years ago. The follow-up matters of this case will be taken over by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. , I will take Wang Pengcheng to Chang'an, so your business is over and you can go back and rest."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Why did he suddenly let himself and others go back to rest? Wasn't there still a motive that he hadn't finished talking about?
But the next moment, Zhuang Yan's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.
As the magistrate of a county, he still possesses some of the rules of officialdom and the ability to observe people's emotions.
Lin Feng did not let himself and others continue to listen. Combined with Zhao Shiwu's unexpected expression just now, it was obvious...the thing in Wang Pengcheng's bag was a very important thing.
And this is something that I and others are not qualified to know.
After thinking about this, even though Zhuang Yan was still extremely curious in his heart, he could only say: "Thank you Lin Si Zheng for helping the people of Zheng County to solve old cases and let the truth be revealed. If Lin Si Zheng is free, I would like to entertain Lin Si Zheng. As a token of thanks.”
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "I appreciate Magistrate Zhuang's kindness, but the Puguang Temple case has been delayed for another day, so I must return as soon as possible... Next time, if I come to Zheng County again, or Zhuang The county magistrate goes to Chang'an, let's have a good drink and we won't come back until we're drunk."
With Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan was satisfied.
After seeing Lin Feng's case-solving process with his own eyes, Zhuang Yan had a hunch that Lin Feng like this would definitely have a bright future in the future. Being a fifth-grade Dali Temple Master would definitely not be Lin Feng's end.
So at this time, if you can form a good relationship with Lin Feng, tonight will not be in vain.
He offered his hand to Lin Feng again and said, "Then I am looking forward to meeting Lin Sizheng next time."
After saying that, he didn't delay any longer and left quickly with everyone in the county government.
Soon, only the confidants Lin Feng brought from Chang'an were left in the deserted Zhou Mansion.
When Sun Fujia saw Lin Feng sending Zhuang Yan and others away, he knew that the contents of Wang Pengcheng's baggage were definitely extraordinary. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he hurriedly asked: "Zide, what is in the baggage?" What is the thing that Wang Pengcheng wants to get back in order to destroy the Zhou family?"
Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's question, slowly looked at the struggling Wang Pengcheng, and said with a smile: "It's really unintentional to insert willows and willows into the shadow."
"I originally thought it was just an ordinary old case, but I didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain."
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, take out what you found."
Sun Fuga hurriedly looked at Zhao Shiwu.
Then Zhao Shiwu took out a long and narrow wooden box with vermilion paint from the bundle.
Then, he opened the lid of the wooden box and turned the wooden box over, allowing Lin Feng and Sun Fujia to see the contents inside the wooden box.
The next moment-
"what!?"
Sun Fujia's exclamation suddenly rang out under the night sky!
His eyes widened, his face full of shock and surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This... golden hairpin!?"
"Is it really the Phoenix Golden Hairpin!?"
He looked at the golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern inside the wooden box in disbelief.
Sun Fujia couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, am I right?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I think it's impossible for all three of us to get it wrong."
While saying this, Lin Feng took out the golden hairpin.
When Lin Feng got the golden hairpin in his hand, he was absolutely sure that this was the golden hairpin that the Four Elephants Organization had been looking for.
The touch, texture, and weight are all exactly the same as the golden hairpin I got before, that is, the phoenix pattern is slightly different.
Looking at the golden hairpin in Lin Feng's hand, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Sun Fujia's mind. His eyes flickered, and he finally understood everything.
No wonder Lin Feng sent Zhuang Yan and others away.
Naturally, the fewer people know the secret of Jin Chai, the better.
And if Wang Pengcheng was for Jin Chai, then it would be normal to destroy the Zhou family. After all, Jin Chai has been burdened with too many lives since they learned of Jin Chai's existence.
The Sixiang organization is doing whatever it takes to get Jin Chai, and it is inhumane!
If it were them, it would make sense!
Thinking of this, Sun Fuga hurriedly looked at Wang Pengcheng and said: "Zhao Shiwu, stop him quickly, don't let him commit suicide!"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he rushed forward, grabbed Wang Pengcheng's chin, and searched Wang Pengcheng's mouth carefully.
But in the end, he shook his head blankly: "There is no poison sac."
"No?" Sun Fuga was stunned.
He said: "Check him quickly to see if there are any patterns of the Four Elephants Organization? If there are no patterns, check if there are any scars!"
Zhao Shiwu quickly took off Wang Pengcheng's clothes, but after careful inspection, he still shook his head: "There is not a single pattern, not a scar."
Sun Fuga was confused: "How come there isn't?"
Wang Pengcheng was even more confused: "Are you all crazy? Is there something wrong with your brains? How could there be a poison sac in my mouth? How could there be some bullshit pattern on my body!"
"You caught me and I admit defeat, but you can't insult me like this!"
As Wang Pengcheng spoke, he hugged his body and shivered in the cold dark night.
Seeing Wang Pengcheng's aggrieved look, Zhao Shiwu quickly threw the clothes back to him, while Sun Fujia's eyelids jumped. He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said: "Zide, what's going on? Could it be that someone from the Sixiang Organization , Doesn’t everyone have a pattern, doesn’t everyone have a poison sac?”
Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Dr. Sun, you are so confused by the Four Elephants Organization. Why do you think of the Four Elephants Organization when you see Jin Chai?"
"What?" Sun Fujia was stunned, but soon he understood what Lin Feng meant and said hurriedly: "Do you mean... he, he is not a member of the Four Elephants Organization?"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he quickly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, who looked aggrieved, and said slowly: "In this world, it is not just the people from the Four Elephants Organization who have gold hairpins. As far as we know, there are two other groups of people who also know about it and have gold hairpins." hairpin."
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "You mean...the businessman from the Western Regions, and...the Jinchai inheritance family?"
After hearing Sun Fuga's words, Wang Pengcheng, who was still dressing, suddenly stood there as if struck by lightning.
When Sun Fujia saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but said, "Could it be that...Wang Pengcheng, he is the inheritor of the Golden Hairpin family!?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, whose face was as white as paper and stood motionless, and said slowly: "Before, from the mouth of Cai Wengyi, the magistrate of Chengping County, Suizhou, we learned about the Jinchai inheritance family and all their Jinchai inheritance. The family has been waiting for someone."
"Based on this, I have made some speculations. Among the inheritors of Jin Chai, there is a key person of Jin Chai. Only he knows the whereabouts of other inheritors of Jin Chai. Only he can find other inheritors of Jin Chai. .”
Sun Fujia nodded hurriedly. Lin Feng indeed speculated like this at that time, and he also agreed with it.
"But Dr. Sun, there is a prerequisite here. I wonder if you have thought about it."
"Prerequisite?" Sun Fuga was startled: "What prerequisite?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Pengcheng, and said calmly: "The other inheritors of the Golden Hairpin must not leave their hiding place easily, otherwise, the world is so vast, and the identities of the inheritors have changed. As time goes by, the inheritors of the Golden Hairpin no longer recognize their descendants. Once they are gone, how can they be found?"
Sun Fujia frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "It is true that the Jinchai inheritance family cannot leave easily, but Magistrate Cai does not seem to be from Chengping County..."
Lin Feng said: "That's right, Magistrate Cai, as a county magistrate, has to rotate his official position in several years. Naturally, he cannot stay in one place forever. He will be the county magistrate in Chengping County, which he was transferred to a few years ago. "
"But don't forget that Magistrate Cai's father died unexpectedly before he could tell him the secret of Jin Chai. Therefore, Magistrate Cai's inheritance was interrupted. Therefore, he did not leave his hometown intentionally. It’s that he didn’t know he shouldn’t leave.”
Sun Fuga nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's words.
He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "What about Wang Pengcheng?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "Don't forget, Mr. Sun, that ten years ago, Wang Pengcheng was the county captain of Zheng County. Normally, like Magistrate Cai, he should go to other counties to serve as errands, and should not I have always stayed in Zheng County.”
According to Tang law, ordinary yamen servants without rank could always stay in a yamen as a servant.
But officials of high rank, even ninth rank, must be rotated.
Therefore, Wang Pengcheng has stayed in Zheng County for more than ten years, which is abnormal in itself.
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and with his quick thinking, he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.
He said: "Zide, you mean... he should have left, but he didn't because he used certain methods to make himself stay!"
"And the reason why he didn't leave is because he is the inheritor of Jin Chai. He must stay here and wait for the key person of Jin Chai!?"
Lin Feng did not answer Sun Fuga immediately, but kept staring at Wang Pengcheng.
After all, all this was just his speculation. He needed Wang Pengcheng to give him an answer, but he knew that Wang Pengcheng would definitely not answer truthfully.
But it doesn't matter. He has rich experience and has studied psychology. He can make judgments based on Wang Pengcheng's subconscious reaction.
At this time, after Wang Pengcheng heard Sun Fuga's shocked words, the pupils in his eyes trembled violently and uncontrollably. His whole body stiffened as if his acupoints had been tapped. His hands subconsciously grabbed the corners of his clothes and used force unconsciously. , the blood vessels on the back of the hand emerged.
Looking at this scene, Lin Feng already had the answer in his heart.
He said slowly: "Wang Pengcheng, when I was investigating you, I learned that you had the opportunity to be promoted, but you refused to leave and gave up this great opportunity just to stay here and wait for your golden hairpin." The inheritor has been waiting for you for generations, your persistence really impresses me."
Wang Pengcheng's voice tightened and he said: "What golden hairpin inheritor, I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you don't have to say anything now. When you return to Dali Temple, many people will try to get you to speak."
Lin Feng was not surprised by Wang Pengcheng's harsh words.
There was curiosity in his eyes, and he said: "But I am very curious, how did the Zhou family know that you have a gold hairpin?"
"Did you have no choice but to find the Zhou family because of your mother's illness and tell the secret of the golden hairpin in exchange for the Zhou family's money? Or is it that the Zhou family learned about you through other channels? News about Jin Chai?”
Wang Pengcheng didn't dare to look into Lin Feng's eyes. Lin Feng's dark and deep eyes always gave him the illusion that everything about him was seen through.
He lowered his head, looked at the stone slab with withered grass growing under his feet, and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have said it before. I felt that the Zhou family looked down on me, so I became murderous. It has nothing to do with other things. nothing."
At this moment, even Zhao Shiwu could see that Wang Pengcheng was lying.
He said: "Your lying skills are really not very good. Look at the way you are trembling, you don't look confident."
Wang Pengcheng's face froze, and he cursed: "You took off my clothes and made me freeze for no reason!"
Zhao Shiwu hugged his arms and didn't believe it at all.
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, frowned and said, "What should I do?"
Lin Feng slowly exhaled and said, "Send someone to search his house to see if they can find any more useful clues."
"If not, let's return to Chang'an."
"After returning to Chang'an, I will find a way to make him speak, and..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly: "Even if he still doesn't say it, it doesn't matter. When we go to Puguang Temple and find the survivors of the Zhou family, there is no need for the survivors of the Zhou family to hide it for him. tell us."
Sun Fujia thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right. The eldest son of the Zhou family was the one who gave him money back then. This means that it should not be a secret among the masters of the Zhou family."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Sun Fujia took a deep breath, looked at the exquisite gold hairpin in Lin Feng's hand, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Who would have thought that such a small gold hairpin would cause so many people to die because of it? I really don't know. What is the meaning of its existence?"
Lin Feng looked at the golden hairpin shining under the firelight and said calmly: "At least now, it is the fuse of all desires."
Sun Fuga nodded hurriedly and said: "I didn't expect that in addition to the Four Elephants Organization, the Jinchai inheritance family would also do whatever it takes to protect Jinchai."
He looked at Lin Feng: "Zide, when we look for the golden hairpin in the future, it seems that we need to be careful not only of the Four Elephants organization, but also of the golden hairpin inheritance family."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He glanced at the desolate Zhou House for the last time, then turned around and looked at Wang Pengcheng, who pursed his lips tightly as if he was about to sew his mouth shut. He said slowly: "Let's go back to Chang'an, here. I believe that after returning to Chang'an, I will have the answer to my secret."
(End of this chapter)
In the ruined Zhou family mansion with dead grass growing everywhere, as Lin Feng finished speaking, the night wind suddenly roared through the dilapidated building and fell into the ears of everyone, as if dozens of people were whimpering sharply.
Weeping and complaining, it makes people feel a little heavy.
They stared blankly at Lin Feng under the firelight, watching Lin Feng's figure looking towards the dilapidated Zhou family mansion, and listening to Lin Feng's sighing voice, they felt that their hearts were violently shaken at this moment.
The truth that had been concealed for ten years was finally revealed.
But as Lin Feng said, this truth was a full ten years late.
Thinking back on the whole process of the Zhou family's murder, Zhuang Yan, Sun Fuga, and the government officials and officials couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Who would have thought that the truth would be like this, and who would have thought that Wang Pengcheng, a seemingly loyal county lieutenant, would be so cunning and insidious?
First, Xie Fang’s family was made a scapegoat, and they died without any evidence!
Then Guan Liufei and the other five used the trick of secretly exchanging corpses to turn their five dead people into the second level of scapegoats, turning this case into a case of murder of the master by an evil servant!
In the end, it was Zhao Peng and the other five, the real murderers!
No matter who goes to investigate, after three layers of digging, only the five of Zhao Peng will be found to be suspected!
But who would have thought that the real mastermind behind the scenes would be Wang Pengcheng, who has never been stained with a drop of blood and seems to have no reason to take action?
Wang Pengcheng was hiding under three layers of disguise, with a sarcastic smile, watching with cold eyes and contentment as the Zhou family's murder case was faded into dust.
If it weren't for Lin Feng, the truth might have been buried forever.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Wang Pengcheng's cunning and insidiousness was frightening, Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was like a god, but he was like a natural enemy, completely restraining Wang Pengcheng.
No matter how cunning and cunning Wang Pengcheng was like a fox, in the end, he still couldn't escape from the clutches of Lin Feng, a hunter.
So Zhuang Yan was very lucky. Fortunately, Lin Feng came to re-investigate the case. If it had been someone else, the truth might not have been found out.
Thanks to Lin Feng, thanks to Lin Feng!
At this time, everyone else had the same thoughts as Zhuang Yan.
The more they understand Wang Pengcheng's insidiousness, the more fortunate they are that it is the famous detective Lin Feng who comes to investigate the case.
Zhuang Yan exhaled a long breath, looked at Lin Feng, cupped his hands and said: "Although the truth is ten years late, it is better than never knowing it."
Sun Fujia also nodded. He looked at Wang Pengcheng, who was pale and full of despair, with cold eyes, and said slowly: "At least, this truly evil man who committed an unforgivable crime cannot continue to escape justice. He will be punished by himself." All the crimes committed have been paid the most painful price, and everyone in the Zhou family can finally rest in peace."
Everyone nodded when they heard the words.
Lin Feng listened to their words, his eyes swept over the ruins little by little, and finally looked back, nodding slightly.
He took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, looked at Wang Pengcheng again, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.
Lin Feng said: "The Zhou family's murder case ten years ago and the revenge case of Puguang Temple have now had clear results."
"Wang Pengcheng, you set up various conspiracies ten years ago to use the hands of others to wipe out the entire Zhou family...and now ten years later, you have plotted against the survivors of the Zhou family and used his hands to help you silence those who knew about it. "
"Even though I have seen too many insidious and cunning people, you still opened my eyes."
"Whether it's ten years ago or now! You can hide behind the scenes, and you can keep your hands clean and let others be your sword to help you get rid of the people you want to get rid of."
"I have to say that you are indeed very smart, but it's a pity that you only use this smartness to scheme against others, and you use it for heinous and unforgivable crimes!"
After listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng's face was pale and his eyes were bulging forward. He was staring at Lin Feng. His expression contained both fear of Lin Feng and full of anger. Many emotions lingered on his face, making his expression look ferocious and distorted.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how careful my plan is, what can I do? You still found out!"
"I have calculated all the relevant people, so that no one will doubt me. Even if they really find me, I will have a perfect excuse to refuse... But I didn't expect that the person who will push me into the abyss in the end will be It’s you, an irrelevant person!”
He looked aggrieved: "No matter how I plot, I can never calculate that you, Lin Feng, will show up ten years later! So this is not my fault at all..."
Wang Pengcheng raised his head and looked at the dark night sky. He gritted his teeth and roared: "It's God who wants to kill me!"
"Now I finally understand how powerless Xiang Yu was when he committed suicide! God wants to kill me, what can I do?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng's suppressed and angry look and said coldly: "You alone are worthy of being compared with the Overlord of Western Chu?"
"There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. No matter how deep you hide it, even if you don't have an official, there will be others who will expose your conspiracy and find the truth you have hidden!"
"Having committed a crime and made this unforgivable plan, you should have the consciousness to be discovered one day in the future!"
Wang Pengcheng's scarlet eyes were full of Lin Feng's shadow. He sat on the cold ground, looked at Lin Feng, cocked his neck, and sneered: "Lin Feng, winner or loser, you caught me, I admit defeat! Don't you say sarcastic words from above, kill or behead everyone as you please, if I frown, my surname is no longer Wang!"
Wang Pengcheng was obviously still unwilling to give in. Lin Feng looked at him with dark eyes and said slowly: "There is still one last piece of the puzzle to complete the case. Are you going to admit defeat now?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile: "Wang Pengcheng, have you really admitted your defeat...or do you hope that by saying this, I will forget to track down your motive for massacring everyone in the Zhou family?"
After listening to Lin Feng's words, the sneer on Wang Pengcheng's face froze instantly, and his whole movements seemed to be frozen. But soon, he laughed: "I even admitted the crime of the mastermind, and I am still afraid that you will track me down. Motive? What a joke!"
"Besides, there's nothing to find out about my motives!"
"Haven't you ever heard of a feud between a man and a woman? The Zhou family has so much wealth, but they only gave me a small amount of money, which is barely enough to treat my mother's illness."
"I think the Zhou family is so abominable. They have so much money, but they are so picky and picky. They don't even want to share more with me. What is this? This is looking down on me!"
"Since they look down on me, I will naturally take revenge!"
Wang Pengcheng said with a crazy smile on his face: "The more they value their wealth and the more stingy they are, the more I will make them lose everything!"
"So I killed them all! I took away all their wealth! Aren't they stingy? Aren't they reluctant to give me more? Then I will get it myself. I took away all the money of his Zhou family!"
"As for Zhao Peng and the other five..."
Wang Pengcheng sneered: "Don't you know? I haven't actually distributed the money to them yet. My original plan was to tell them that after they settled in according to the status I gave them, I would give them the money... Of course, I How could I give money to these stupid guys? My purpose is to kill them and silence them."
"But who would have thought that these guys didn't even want the money and ran away secretly... But it doesn't matter, it would be better if they ran away. All the money will belong to me!"
Wang Pengcheng laughed wantonly there, talking about his calculations and his conspiracy.
Zhuang Yan and others couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.
They just felt that Wang Pengcheng was a madman.
Just because the Zhou family gave him just the right amount of money when he rescued his mother and didn't give him more money, he became jealous of the Zhou family and thought that the Zhou family looked down on him, so he massacred everyone in his family!
This is the kind of idea only a person with a crazy, dark and low self-esteem can have!
Lin Feng glanced at Zhuang Yan and others, and could easily see their inner thoughts. He smiled and said, "Do you really believe his lies?"
"What?" Zhuang Yan and others were stunned.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng looked directly at Wang Pengcheng with his deep eyes. His expression was calm, neither impatient nor impatient. He looked at Wang Pengcheng with a half-smile, but Wang Pengcheng was stared at by Lin Feng with such an expression. He laughed maniacally at first, and then his laughter gradually became low. , and finally the laughter disappeared, leaving only an embarrassed expression.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Why don't you continue to laugh? Laugh, I want to see how long you can laugh with a guilty conscience?"
Wang Pengcheng's face was ashen and his eyelids were twitching.
You look at me like you're watching a show, you don't believe me at all, and I'm still laughing my ass off!
He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Zhuang Yan also saw clearly at this time, Wang Pengcheng's obviously guilty expression... Could it be that the motives he just mentioned were really all lies to them?
"It seems that Wang Pengcheng, you won't tell me your motives obediently, so I'll have to work hard and make another guess."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.
Even Wang Pengcheng stared at Lin Feng nervously.
Just listen to Lin Feng say: "Wang Pengcheng is not a madman. A madman may kill people randomly, but he can't, so he must have a reason for taking action against the Zhou family."
"And if you want to know the reason, you have to look at what happened between Wang Pengcheng and the Zhou family."
Lin Feng looked at the older government officials and said slowly: "You have known Wang Pengcheng for a long time. Do you know what interactions Wang Pengcheng had with the Zhou family ten years ago?"
The officials looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"I haven't heard of any contact between him and the Zhou family."
"I haven't heard of it...even the Zhou family gave him money to treat his mother's illness. The younger one didn't even know."
"The younger one has never heard anyone mention his relationship with the Zhou family."
Lin Feng listened to their words, nodded slightly, and said, "In other words, as far as all of you know, he has nothing to do with the Zhou family."
The crowd nodded.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Does that mean that before he wiped out the entire Zhou family, the only thing he had to do with the Zhou family was that the Zhou family gave him money to help his mother treat her illness."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng again and said, "Do you know why I was so sure you were lying just now?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned and did not respond.
Lin Feng didn't care. He said calmly: "If it is really the reason you said, then you have a huge psychological problem. This kind of psychological problem will not weaken with the increase of time, but will become worse." As you open the door to sin, you sink completely into it.”
"If this is the case, then in the next ten years, it is impossible for you to behave abnormally at all. When you face difficulties from your superiors, you cannot be without resentment. When faced with other things that make you unhappy, you will also It’s impossible to take it lightly.”
"Even if you can pretend to be very good in front of others, behind the scenes, you will definitely retaliate against them just like you did against the Zhou family, but you didn't do that."
"I have asked about the cases that have occurred in Zheng County in the past ten years. There are no serious and unsolved cases. Everyone who gets along with you does not think there is anything wrong with you. The most important thing is The thing is... the people who have offended you are all fine now! All this can prove that you actually don't have that kind of extremely serious psychological problem at all."
Wang Pengcheng's expression changed slightly. He was about to speak out, but Lin Feng didn't give him a chance.
Lin Feng said lightly: "Since he has no psychological problems, then we can start analyzing the only thing that had anything to do with him between the Zhou family and him!"
"The Zhou family is a family of merchants. Businessmen value profits and money more. They may give porridge to refugees, but they will never do it without any reason. If a mother is seriously ill, they will not hesitate to pay for their own treatment. .”
"so……"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, squinted his eyes, and said, "There must be a reason why the Zhou family will give you money!"
Wang Pengcheng clenched his fists subconsciously.
He arched his back slightly, as if a cat had its fur explode when it encountered something that frightened it.
Lin Feng said: "I can think of three possible reasons."
"First, the Zhou family needs your help!"
"A businessman can't afford to be too late if he can't make a profit, let alone rush to give you money to help your mother treat your illness..."
"So, it's understandable if they want to ask you for help with something."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "Isn't this just a bribe... If the Zhou family encounters any difficulties or wants to accomplish something, bribe Wang Pengcheng to open the door for Wang Pengcheng."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It can be used as a bribe."
Zhuang Yan said: "Do you really want Wang Pengcheng to do something for them?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I have investigated the situation of the Zhou family back then. At that time, the Zhou family was developing very fast, and their business was as hot as cooking oil! They could not only sell cloth to Goguryeo and other surrounding countries , and can also supply cloth to the imperial court, it can be said that the Zhou family has reached the forefront in all aspects."
"To be honest, the Zhou family at that time couldn't be restrained by a county. The magistrates of Zheng County also took the initiative to provide help to the Zhou family. After all, the better the Zhou family's business, the more tax revenue they provided. The more they do, this is all the fault of county officials like them.”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded immediately.
He is now the county magistrate, so he can understand what Lin Feng means very well. If there is a wealthy businessman like the Zhou family in the area under his jurisdiction who can continuously provide tax revenue, he will definitely support it.
Lin Feng said: "So, under the circumstances at that time, the county magistrate would give great support, so what can the Zhou family ask for from the county magistrate? Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out."
Everyone nodded.
What Lin Feng said was reasonable and well-founded, and they were all people who had experienced the situation back then, so they understood what Lin Feng meant better.
"And the second possibility."
Lin Feng continued: "That means Wang Pengcheng has mastered some important secrets of the Zhou family, and used this to coerce the Zhou family. In this case, the Zhou family will have to provide Wang Pengcheng with money to help his mother treat her illness."
Upon hearing this, Sun Fuga, who had handled many similar cases, immediately said: "If that's the case, then Wang Pengcheng would have no reason to massacre the entire Zhou family."
"He holds the ulterior secrets of the Zhou family, which is equivalent to controlling a source of wealth for a long time. As long as he is willing, the Zhou family must always send him money."
"The Zhou family is a businessman, and he is an official. On the territory of Zheng County, the Zhou family does not dare to touch him easily, so he has a complete advantage. There is no need to fear revenge from the Zhou family, and there is no reason to massacre Zhou. The house is full!”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, if this is the case, he has no reason to harm the Zhou family."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "So, the second possibility is not the same, so it can only be the third possibility."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng closely.
They knew that Wang Pengcheng's hidden motives might soon be revealed.
Then, they heard Lin Feng slowly say: "If a businessman provides money, if he is not begging for help or is not forced to threaten, then there is only the last possibility... he is doing business!"
"what!?"
"Doing business!"
Everyone froze for a moment!
He actually didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
But at this moment, when Wang Pengcheng heard Lin Feng's words, his pupils suddenly shrank, his originally curved back suddenly straightened, and his eyes widened, revealing all the pupils. Such a change, in an instant, made people who had been paying attention Zhuang Yan and others, who were following Wang Pengcheng, realized that Lin Feng's words seemed to be right!
Can be traded...what does that mean?
Does it mean that the Zhou family made some kind of deal with Wang Pengcheng, so they gave Wang Pengcheng the money?
But what kind of deal can be done between them?
Everyone looked at Lin Feng closely, and Lin Feng stared at Wang Pengcheng unblinkingly. He took Wang Pengcheng's reaction into consideration, and became more and more certain about his speculation.
He said: "For businessmen, transactions are done by handing over the money and delivering the goods."
"So, maybe it's not that the Zhou family wants to help Wang Pengcheng's mother treat her illness, but that the Zhou family wants to buy something from Wang Pengcheng's hands... Maybe the money is used to treat Wang Pengcheng's mother's illness, maybe it's just a transaction It’s just the result after that.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng.
Zhuang Yan asked: "Wang Pengcheng, is that true? Is the Zhou family going to buy something from you?"
Wang Pengcheng frowned, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably.
But he still had a sneer on his face: "Ridiculous speculation!"
"What can I have on hand that the Zhou family would like?"
"The Zhou family has traveled all over the country and is very rich. If you don't have any good things, why do you have to buy something from me?"
Listening to Wang Pengcheng's words, Zhuang Yan and others also frowned.
Indeed, Wang Pengcheng is a native of Zheng County.
I have never left Zheng County. Is there anything that the Zhou family, which was so prosperous in the past, can take a fancy to?
They were confused and couldn't help but look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "I am only good at reasoning based on clues and logic, but I am not a real god. Of course, I don't know if there are any valuable things in the Wang Pengcheng family that the Zhou family of ten years ago could value."
"but……"
His voice suddenly changed, and he looked at Wang Pengcheng. Then, his eyes moved back and fell on the baggage that Wang Pengcheng was carrying behind him.Lin Feng said slowly: "However, if it is really because the Zhou family likes something of yours that they spend money to buy it, and it is this thing that makes you massacre the Zhou family in the end... you can know that this This thing must have been taken back by you in the end."
"After all, you slaughtered the entire Zhou family just to take it back."
"Then when you give up all your current status and want to escape..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "I think you won't throw it away, right? In other words, you will definitely take it with you."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the baggage behind Wang Pengcheng.
But at this moment, they discovered that Wang Pengcheng's mentality, which he had finally managed to stabilize, completely exploded at this moment.
"You bullshit!"
Wang Pengcheng turned pale and shouted: "Lin Feng, you are talking nonsense!"
Lin Feng said lightly: "From the time we caught you until now, your burden has been carried tightly on your back. Even if you were so desperate just now, your hands subconsciously grabbed the strap of the burden to prevent it from falling. Go down."
"Wang Pengcheng...words can lie, but your subconscious actions from the heart cannot lie!"
Wang Pengcheng listened to Lin Feng's words, as if a mouse saw the cat's sharp claws and patted him, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He suddenly hugged his own baggage, stood up and was about to rush out.
boom!
But the next moment, what was waiting for him was the ruthless kick from Zhao Shiwu, who had already been keeping an eye on him.
Wang Pengcheng was kicked away by Zhao Shiwu and flew backwards.
The officials from Dali Temple directly held Wang Pengcheng down without saying a word.
No matter how much Wang Pengcheng struggled and screamed, it was of no avail. He could only watch as Zhao Shiwu snatched the baggage from his arms.
When Zhuang Yan and others saw this scene, there was no need to say anything more, they understood everything.
Sure enough, everything was as Lin Feng speculated!
Back then, the Zhou family had indeed taken a fancy to something belonging to Wang Pengcheng. The money given to Wang Pengcheng was indeed a business, a transaction!
And Wang Pengcheng, because of this thing, finally destroyed the Zhou family after using the Zhou family to save his mother.
Now that thing is really hidden in the baggage.
I just don’t know what it is that makes Wang Pengcheng care so much that he even goes to the extent of killing the entire Zhou family!
They looked eagerly at the baggage in Zhao Shiwu's hand.
Zhao Shiwu opened the bag, reached into it, and took out the contents. Suddenly, Zhao Shiwu's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Zhao Shiwu suddenly came to Lin Feng quickly and whispered something in Lin Feng's ear.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He looked at Wang Pengcheng, who was struggling like a trapped animal, his eyes flickering, as if he understood something.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, turned around and looked at County Magistrate Zhuang Yan, and said: "County Magistrate Zhuang, that's the truth about the Zhou family's murder case ten years ago. The follow-up matters of this case will be taken over by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. , I will take Wang Pengcheng to Chang'an, so your business is over and you can go back and rest."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Why did he suddenly let himself and others go back to rest? Wasn't there still a motive that he hadn't finished talking about?
But the next moment, Zhuang Yan's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.
As the magistrate of a county, he still possesses some of the rules of officialdom and the ability to observe people's emotions.
Lin Feng did not let himself and others continue to listen. Combined with Zhao Shiwu's unexpected expression just now, it was obvious...the thing in Wang Pengcheng's bag was a very important thing.
And this is something that I and others are not qualified to know.
After thinking about this, even though Zhuang Yan was still extremely curious in his heart, he could only say: "Thank you Lin Si Zheng for helping the people of Zheng County to solve old cases and let the truth be revealed. If Lin Si Zheng is free, I would like to entertain Lin Si Zheng. As a token of thanks.”
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "I appreciate Magistrate Zhuang's kindness, but the Puguang Temple case has been delayed for another day, so I must return as soon as possible... Next time, if I come to Zheng County again, or Zhuang The county magistrate goes to Chang'an, let's have a good drink and we won't come back until we're drunk."
With Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan was satisfied.
After seeing Lin Feng's case-solving process with his own eyes, Zhuang Yan had a hunch that Lin Feng like this would definitely have a bright future in the future. Being a fifth-grade Dali Temple Master would definitely not be Lin Feng's end.
So at this time, if you can form a good relationship with Lin Feng, tonight will not be in vain.
He offered his hand to Lin Feng again and said, "Then I am looking forward to meeting Lin Sizheng next time."
After saying that, he didn't delay any longer and left quickly with everyone in the county government.
Soon, only the confidants Lin Feng brought from Chang'an were left in the deserted Zhou Mansion.
When Sun Fujia saw Lin Feng sending Zhuang Yan and others away, he knew that the contents of Wang Pengcheng's baggage were definitely extraordinary. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he hurriedly asked: "Zide, what is in the baggage?" What is the thing that Wang Pengcheng wants to get back in order to destroy the Zhou family?"
Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's question, slowly looked at the struggling Wang Pengcheng, and said with a smile: "It's really unintentional to insert willows and willows into the shadow."
"I originally thought it was just an ordinary old case, but I didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain."
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, take out what you found."
Sun Fuga hurriedly looked at Zhao Shiwu.
Then Zhao Shiwu took out a long and narrow wooden box with vermilion paint from the bundle.
Then, he opened the lid of the wooden box and turned the wooden box over, allowing Lin Feng and Sun Fujia to see the contents inside the wooden box.
The next moment-
"what!?"
Sun Fujia's exclamation suddenly rang out under the night sky!
His eyes widened, his face full of shock and surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This... golden hairpin!?"
"Is it really the Phoenix Golden Hairpin!?"
He looked at the golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern inside the wooden box in disbelief.
Sun Fujia couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, am I right?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I think it's impossible for all three of us to get it wrong."
While saying this, Lin Feng took out the golden hairpin.
When Lin Feng got the golden hairpin in his hand, he was absolutely sure that this was the golden hairpin that the Four Elephants Organization had been looking for.
The touch, texture, and weight are all exactly the same as the golden hairpin I got before, that is, the phoenix pattern is slightly different.
Looking at the golden hairpin in Lin Feng's hand, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Sun Fujia's mind. His eyes flickered, and he finally understood everything.
No wonder Lin Feng sent Zhuang Yan and others away.
Naturally, the fewer people know the secret of Jin Chai, the better.
And if Wang Pengcheng was for Jin Chai, then it would be normal to destroy the Zhou family. After all, Jin Chai has been burdened with too many lives since they learned of Jin Chai's existence.
The Sixiang organization is doing whatever it takes to get Jin Chai, and it is inhumane!
If it were them, it would make sense!
Thinking of this, Sun Fuga hurriedly looked at Wang Pengcheng and said: "Zhao Shiwu, stop him quickly, don't let him commit suicide!"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he rushed forward, grabbed Wang Pengcheng's chin, and searched Wang Pengcheng's mouth carefully.
But in the end, he shook his head blankly: "There is no poison sac."
"No?" Sun Fuga was stunned.
He said: "Check him quickly to see if there are any patterns of the Four Elephants Organization? If there are no patterns, check if there are any scars!"
Zhao Shiwu quickly took off Wang Pengcheng's clothes, but after careful inspection, he still shook his head: "There is not a single pattern, not a scar."
Sun Fuga was confused: "How come there isn't?"
Wang Pengcheng was even more confused: "Are you all crazy? Is there something wrong with your brains? How could there be a poison sac in my mouth? How could there be some bullshit pattern on my body!"
"You caught me and I admit defeat, but you can't insult me like this!"
As Wang Pengcheng spoke, he hugged his body and shivered in the cold dark night.
Seeing Wang Pengcheng's aggrieved look, Zhao Shiwu quickly threw the clothes back to him, while Sun Fujia's eyelids jumped. He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said: "Zide, what's going on? Could it be that someone from the Sixiang Organization , Doesn’t everyone have a pattern, doesn’t everyone have a poison sac?”
Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Dr. Sun, you are so confused by the Four Elephants Organization. Why do you think of the Four Elephants Organization when you see Jin Chai?"
"What?" Sun Fujia was stunned, but soon he understood what Lin Feng meant and said hurriedly: "Do you mean... he, he is not a member of the Four Elephants Organization?"
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he quickly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, who looked aggrieved, and said slowly: "In this world, it is not just the people from the Four Elephants Organization who have gold hairpins. As far as we know, there are two other groups of people who also know about it and have gold hairpins." hairpin."
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "You mean...the businessman from the Western Regions, and...the Jinchai inheritance family?"
After hearing Sun Fuga's words, Wang Pengcheng, who was still dressing, suddenly stood there as if struck by lightning.
When Sun Fujia saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but said, "Could it be that...Wang Pengcheng, he is the inheritor of the Golden Hairpin family!?"
Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng, whose face was as white as paper and stood motionless, and said slowly: "Before, from the mouth of Cai Wengyi, the magistrate of Chengping County, Suizhou, we learned about the Jinchai inheritance family and all their Jinchai inheritance. The family has been waiting for someone."
"Based on this, I have made some speculations. Among the inheritors of Jin Chai, there is a key person of Jin Chai. Only he knows the whereabouts of other inheritors of Jin Chai. Only he can find other inheritors of Jin Chai. .”
Sun Fujia nodded hurriedly. Lin Feng indeed speculated like this at that time, and he also agreed with it.
"But Dr. Sun, there is a prerequisite here. I wonder if you have thought about it."
"Prerequisite?" Sun Fuga was startled: "What prerequisite?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Pengcheng, and said calmly: "The other inheritors of the Golden Hairpin must not leave their hiding place easily, otherwise, the world is so vast, and the identities of the inheritors have changed. As time goes by, the inheritors of the Golden Hairpin no longer recognize their descendants. Once they are gone, how can they be found?"
Sun Fujia frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "It is true that the Jinchai inheritance family cannot leave easily, but Magistrate Cai does not seem to be from Chengping County..."
Lin Feng said: "That's right, Magistrate Cai, as a county magistrate, has to rotate his official position in several years. Naturally, he cannot stay in one place forever. He will be the county magistrate in Chengping County, which he was transferred to a few years ago. "
"But don't forget that Magistrate Cai's father died unexpectedly before he could tell him the secret of Jin Chai. Therefore, Magistrate Cai's inheritance was interrupted. Therefore, he did not leave his hometown intentionally. It’s that he didn’t know he shouldn’t leave.”
Sun Fuga nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's words.
He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said, "What about Wang Pengcheng?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "Don't forget, Mr. Sun, that ten years ago, Wang Pengcheng was the county captain of Zheng County. Normally, like Magistrate Cai, he should go to other counties to serve as errands, and should not I have always stayed in Zheng County.”
According to Tang law, ordinary yamen servants without rank could always stay in a yamen as a servant.
But officials of high rank, even ninth rank, must be rotated.
Therefore, Wang Pengcheng has stayed in Zheng County for more than ten years, which is abnormal in itself.
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and with his quick thinking, he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.
He said: "Zide, you mean... he should have left, but he didn't because he used certain methods to make himself stay!"
"And the reason why he didn't leave is because he is the inheritor of Jin Chai. He must stay here and wait for the key person of Jin Chai!?"
Lin Feng did not answer Sun Fuga immediately, but kept staring at Wang Pengcheng.
After all, all this was just his speculation. He needed Wang Pengcheng to give him an answer, but he knew that Wang Pengcheng would definitely not answer truthfully.
But it doesn't matter. He has rich experience and has studied psychology. He can make judgments based on Wang Pengcheng's subconscious reaction.
At this time, after Wang Pengcheng heard Sun Fuga's shocked words, the pupils in his eyes trembled violently and uncontrollably. His whole body stiffened as if his acupoints had been tapped. His hands subconsciously grabbed the corners of his clothes and used force unconsciously. , the blood vessels on the back of the hand emerged.
Looking at this scene, Lin Feng already had the answer in his heart.
He said slowly: "Wang Pengcheng, when I was investigating you, I learned that you had the opportunity to be promoted, but you refused to leave and gave up this great opportunity just to stay here and wait for your golden hairpin." The inheritor has been waiting for you for generations, your persistence really impresses me."
Wang Pengcheng's voice tightened and he said: "What golden hairpin inheritor, I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you don't have to say anything now. When you return to Dali Temple, many people will try to get you to speak."
Lin Feng was not surprised by Wang Pengcheng's harsh words.
There was curiosity in his eyes, and he said: "But I am very curious, how did the Zhou family know that you have a gold hairpin?"
"Did you have no choice but to find the Zhou family because of your mother's illness and tell the secret of the golden hairpin in exchange for the Zhou family's money? Or is it that the Zhou family learned about you through other channels? News about Jin Chai?”
Wang Pengcheng didn't dare to look into Lin Feng's eyes. Lin Feng's dark and deep eyes always gave him the illusion that everything about him was seen through.
He lowered his head, looked at the stone slab with withered grass growing under his feet, and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have said it before. I felt that the Zhou family looked down on me, so I became murderous. It has nothing to do with other things. nothing."
At this moment, even Zhao Shiwu could see that Wang Pengcheng was lying.
He said: "Your lying skills are really not very good. Look at the way you are trembling, you don't look confident."
Wang Pengcheng's face froze, and he cursed: "You took off my clothes and made me freeze for no reason!"
Zhao Shiwu hugged his arms and didn't believe it at all.
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, frowned and said, "What should I do?"
Lin Feng slowly exhaled and said, "Send someone to search his house to see if they can find any more useful clues."
"If not, let's return to Chang'an."
"After returning to Chang'an, I will find a way to make him speak, and..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly: "Even if he still doesn't say it, it doesn't matter. When we go to Puguang Temple and find the survivors of the Zhou family, there is no need for the survivors of the Zhou family to hide it for him. tell us."
Sun Fujia thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right. The eldest son of the Zhou family was the one who gave him money back then. This means that it should not be a secret among the masters of the Zhou family."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Sun Fujia took a deep breath, looked at the exquisite gold hairpin in Lin Feng's hand, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Who would have thought that such a small gold hairpin would cause so many people to die because of it? I really don't know. What is the meaning of its existence?"
Lin Feng looked at the golden hairpin shining under the firelight and said calmly: "At least now, it is the fuse of all desires."
Sun Fuga nodded hurriedly and said: "I didn't expect that in addition to the Four Elephants Organization, the Jinchai inheritance family would also do whatever it takes to protect Jinchai."
He looked at Lin Feng: "Zide, when we look for the golden hairpin in the future, it seems that we need to be careful not only of the Four Elephants organization, but also of the golden hairpin inheritance family."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He glanced at the desolate Zhou House for the last time, then turned around and looked at Wang Pengcheng, who pursed his lips tightly as if he was about to sew his mouth shut. He said slowly: "Let's go back to Chang'an, here. I believe that after returning to Chang'an, I will have the answer to my secret."
