People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically
Chapter 118 The evidence is conclusive!The third person surfaced!
Chapter 118 The evidence is conclusive!The third person surfaced! ([-]-in-[-])
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's thoughts couldn't help but spread further.
He suddenly thought of the "Analects of Confucius" hidden under the sheets on the bed, and of the four bloody words written with his fingers on the first page of "The Analects of Confucius" - there is a ghost, run!
In the entire manor, Miss Gao is currently the only one who keeps shouting for the ghosts, asking herself and others to escape from the underworld.
So, does this mean that Miss Gao put that "The Analects of Confucius" there?
If so...
Lin Feng's vision was deep and dark, and there were many things that really needed to be carefully considered.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them showed on his face.
Lin Feng looked at the butler, who had a frown on his face and a sad look on his face, and said, "Butler Han, why are you so sure that Mr. Gao was killed by Miss Gao?"
"Did anyone see Miss Gao doing it with their own eyes?"
Butler Han listened to Lin Feng's words, shook his head and said, "No."
"No?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "If not, then why are you so sure that Miss Gao did it? What if someone else attacked Miss Gao and Master Gao at the same time?"
Butler Han sighed: "Although no one saw the young lady taking action, there were servants guarding the door at the time of the incident."
"So we can be sure that apart from the master, only the young lady entered the study tonight."
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
Is there someone guarding the door all the time?
He said: "Is there someone always guarding you? There is no such thing as a servant suddenly wanting to go to the toilet and leaving for a short time?"
Butler Han shook his head and said: "There are always two servants outside the door at the same time. Even if someone wants to go to the toilet, both of them will not leave at the same time... Besides, I have already asked, and tonight they all Never left."
They have never left... If the two servants did not lie, it would be enough to prove that Miss Gao was indeed the only one and no third person entered the study.
Lin Feng thought for a while and then asked: "There were servants guarding the door all the time. Didn't Master Gao make any shouts before he died? Didn't they hear any special noise?"
When Butler Han heard this, he sighed again and said, "Because it has been raining outside, the rain was very loud, and the door in the room was closed tightly, so the servant did not hear anything at first."
"But then, they heard the master let out a scream, and then there was a bang and the sound of a vase breaking."
"The servants were shocked when they heard the sound. They knocked on the door quickly, but after knocking for a long time, there was no sound in the study."
"This gave them a bad premonition, but the door was locked at the time and they couldn't open it. They had to call other people quickly. After there were more people, they opened the door and entered the study. .”
"But by then...it was already too late."
Butler Han shook his head, his face full of sorrow and sadness: "The master is already lying in a pool of blood, and the young lady is also unconscious."
According to Butler Han's words, the scene at that time directly appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
The servants opened the door in panic, only to find both of them lying in a pool of blood. The scene was indeed shocking.
He asked: "When the servant went to ask others to help, did both of them leave, or did one person stay?"
The steward said: "One person is left to continue calling the door, while the other person goes to find the others."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "How long did it take for the other person to call the others?"
"Not long."
The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't take more than half a quarter of an hour at most. Our servants live in another courtyard. He rushed there in a hurry and woke us up with a loud voice. Then we didn't hesitate. Came here quickly and didn’t waste much time at all.”
I woke you up with a loud voice... Are you sure that you guys are not waiting for Gao Deshang's order to arrest us, so they are all ready and haven't slept at all?
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Based on what the butler said, he thought of two possibilities.
First, Miss Gao really killed Gao Deshang. After Miss Gao stabbed the dagger into Gao Deshang's heart, Gao Deshang struggled hard and pushed Miss Gao, causing Miss Gao to hit the bookshelf, causing the vase on the bookshelf to fall. He came down and hit Miss Gao on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious.
Secondly, there was a third person in the room at that time... and the servant named Men who was left behind was an accomplice.
When another servant went to call others to help, he let the third person in the study go, and then used a certain technique to re-lock the door latch, creating the illusion that it was locked from the inside.
Then he pretended that no one came out, and then broke into the door with the people coming from behind.
When the door was knocked open, because his accomplice had already run away, there was no one else in the room. Naturally, people would think that the murderer was Miss Gao.
However, if it is the second case, there is a new problem.
That was this accomplice. When did he enter the study?After entering the study, where did you hide it?
If he killed Gao Deshang and seriously injured Miss Gao, why didn't Gao Deshang and Miss Gao yell?
Since Gao Deshang's final scream could be heard by the servants guarding outside, it means that as long as Gao Deshang and Miss Gao shout, they can alert the servants outside.
However, apart from Gao Deshang's scream before his death, there were no other sounds.
Why is this again?
Third party, how to ensure that Gao Deshang and Miss Gao do not shout during the murder?
Lin Feng frowned, all these thoughts were like a mess.
Full of too much irrationality.
This made it difficult for him to figure things out for a while.
His eyes swept across the study.
I saw that this is a very traditional study room decoration style.
Two rows of bookshelves are close to the wall, and next to the window is a red lacquered pear wood table.
At this time, there were some books placed on the table. The books were scattered and scattered, making it very messy.
There were many books on the bookshelf, and the books were arranged irregularly. It gave him the feeling that someone had been anxiously looking for something on the bookshelf, so the books looked messy.
Other than that, there's nothing special about the room.
There are no cabinets, nothing out of sight.
In other words... there is no place to hide at all!
If, as I guessed, there was a third party, where could the third party be hidden?
Everywhere you go, you will be seen at a glance.
unless……
Lin Feng subconsciously moved his eyes upward and glanced at the beam above his head.
If you hide on the rafters, you won't be easily discovered.
Because the housekeeper and other servants were present, Lin Feng did not deliberately raise his head to look at the beams. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the ground.
It is easy for dust to accumulate on the rafters. If someone is really hiding on it, it will be impossible for dust to fall on the ground.
He lowered his head, but didn't find any dust on the ground.
There was no dust... was it wiped off by someone, or was there no one hiding on the rafters at all?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly. He couldn't take the initiative to reveal his identity now, so he couldn't directly let Zhao Shiwu climb to the beam to investigate.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity later and sneak over to investigate." Lin Feng made a decision in his mind.
He gathered his thoughts, looked at the butler with a sad face, and said with relief: "People cannot be resurrected after death, but Butler Han still has to think about what to do next."
"Mr. Gao is dead, and the murderer is suspected to be Miss Gao... This matter is not a trivial matter."
Steward Han frowned as he listened to Lin Feng's words. He said, "Logically speaking, this is all the master's business. We, the servants, have no right to interfere."
"But the master is dead, the miss is unconscious, and there is no other owner in the manor..."
Lin Feng heard this and said unexpectedly: "Is there no other owner of the manor?"
Butler Han nodded: "My wife died young. The master loved her deeply, so he never renewed his relationship or took in a concubine."
He likes to watch maikos dance so much that his eyes are glued to them. You told me that he loves his wife so much that he doesn’t continue his marriage or take concubines?
Lin Feng thinks that his eyesight is not bad. He can still tell whether a person is lustful or not.
This virtuous person is by no means a non-vegetarian.
But it's true that he didn't continue his marriage or take any concubines, was he just letting these maikos warm their beds?
Lin Feng had many thoughts in his mind, but his face was filled with emotion: "I admire Master Gao's deep affection."
He looked at the butler and said, "Butler, what are you going to do?"
Butler Han sighed: "I am a servant, how dare I make the decision on my master's affairs, so I plan to send someone to report to the government after dawn. It is better for the government to decide how to deal with it."
Send someone to report to the official?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, is it true?
If you go to a black shop to report it to the police, are you not afraid that your affairs will be exposed?
Or is it that Butler Han and others are not afraid of reporting to the government at all, because the mastermind is a noble person, and they are forced to do these things?
Do they still have a conscience in their hearts?
Lin Feng couldn't guess what Butler Han was thinking for a while, but he still agreed with the reporting officer's method.
He nodded and said: "It is indeed most appropriate to let the government handle it."
Butler Han looked at Lin Feng with an apology on his face: "I wanted the guests to have a good rest, but I didn't expect that something like this happened... Let's collect the master's body first and decorate the mourning hall. It's not yet midnight, so the distance is There is still some time before dawn, so the guests should go back and continue to rest."
Seeing that Butler Han had kicked him out, Lin Feng knew that he had no reason to stay.
In order to prevent Han Butler and others from doubting him, he handed over his hand and said: "Okay, then I will go back and rest first. If there is any need for us in the follow-up matters, Butler Han can ask people to come to us, as long as we can If you do it, you must try your best.”
Butler Han's face was filled with emotion: "Definitely."
Lin Feng stopped delaying, took one last look at the study, and left with Zhao Shiwu.
On the way back, Zhao Shiwu said: "Father, Gao Deshang is dead, what should we do next?"
Lin Feng's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "They have never come to arrest us. They are probably waiting for Gao Deshang's order, but Gao Deshang is dead and no one has given them orders... If nothing else, they should not take action against us again. ”
"Next..."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "Let's go to Dr. Sun's place to see how injured Miss Gao is."
The two of them quickly came to Miss Gao's room, but there were servants guarding the place at this time. Lin Feng and Zhao 15, two grown men, could not enter Miss Gao's boudoir for no reason, so they had to temporarily return to the wing and wait. With the return of Sun Fujia.
About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Fuga returned.
Lin Feng asked hurriedly: "How is Miss Gao?"
Zhao Shiwu also looked at Sun Fuga hurriedly.
Sun Fujia picked up the kettle from his waist, took a sip of water, then took a long breath and said slowly: "Don't worry, although Miss Gao suffered severe injuries to the back of her head, her life is not in danger."
"I have bandaged her and prescribed a prescription for my maid. As long as she has a good rest and takes the medicine on time, the problem will not be too big. However, the back of the head is a fragile place after all. I am not sure when she will wake up... …”
Listening to Sun Fujia's professional words, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Dr. Sun, are you really good at medicine?"
Zhao Shiwu also looked surprised.
Sun Fujia smiled faintly and raised his chin slightly, full of the complacency of a champion. He said: "I usually like to read when I have nothing to do. I have dabbled in all kinds of books, including a lot of medical books, so for this I still know a thing or two about the treatment of trauma."
Sun Fujia was a standard ancient scholar, humble but not complacent, so he said he knew a little bit, but what he really meant was that he was probably not at the level of the number one scholar.
In other words, Sun Fujia's medical skills are really no worse than those of any common doctor!
Did he accidentally discover Sun Fuga's hidden ability this time?
He knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he is also self-taught in medical skills. He is truly worthy of being the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty. His academic skills are really impressive!
Lin Feng gave Sun Fujia a thumbs up and praised: "Sun Lang is very rich in middle school and knows everything. I admire him."
Sun Fujia smiled and shook his head: "I only have a brief understanding of it. I can handle simple trauma, but I may not be good at other more complex diseases."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is enough, at least for tonight's matter."
After saying that, Lin Feng put away his smile, talked about business, and asked: "Dr. Sun, do you think Miss Gao's wound was really accidentally hit by a vase?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while, frowned and said: "It's hard to say... The wound was indeed caused by being hit by a heavy object. The vase was not small, and it was filled with some soil. It fell from a high place and was hit by people. It’s consistent with the wounds on the back of Miss Gao’s head.”
Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words and gently tapped his fingertips on the table.
Sun Fujia has both medical skills and rich prison experience. Even he can't tell the difference, which proves that it is really impossible to judge whether it was an accident or man-made injury from Miss Gao's wound.
He thought for a moment and then continued: "Miss Gao's clothes are slightly messy and she seems to have had signs of struggle. Have you checked her body to see if there are any traces of a struggle?"
Sun Fujia said helplessly: "Zide, I am a doctor, not a pervert. There are maids in the room staring at me. Do you think I can lift Miss Gao's clothes and see if there are any bumps or fights on her skin?" Any traces left behind?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but cover his forehead.
He laughed and said: "Look at me... all we have encountered recently are dead people. This is a rare living person we encounter. I have forgotten that living people are different from dead people and cannot be inspected at will by us."
Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng. After all, Miss Gao was really the first survivor in the past two months.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Then there is no way to verify Miss Gao's injury in person, and there is no way to judge whether there are any scars on her body."
Sun Fuga said: "You can ask your maid to check it out."
"no!"
Lin Feng shook his head directly: "I can't trust anyone in this manor. They may not tell the truth."
Sun Fujia also felt troubled. He frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, although I don't know if Miss Gao has any scars on her body, I am taking her pulse." Then I noticed something was wrong with her wrist."
When Lin Feng heard this, he said directly: "I know, it's a cut."
Sun Fujia was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng with surprise on his face: "How do you know?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "After learning about Zhang Jiu's death, when we passed Miss Gao's room, Miss Gao rushed out. At that time, she held my arm tightly with both hands, and as her hands exerted force, her clothes The sleeves slid back slightly, and I noticed obvious cuts on her wrists."
"Not surprisingly……"
Lin Feng looked at the dark night outside the door and said solemnly: "She should have tried to commit suicide."
"She committed suicide!?"
Zhao Fifteen couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Lin Feng's words, with a look of shock on his face.
Sun Fujia agreed with Lin Feng's words. He nodded: "After I found the wound at that time, I checked it carefully. It was indeed a wound that she could have cut by herself. If someone else had cut her arm, the wound would be different."
Zhao Shiwu was confused: "Why did she commit suicide? Is she really crazy and want to harm herself?"
Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Shiwu and said meaningfully: "A crazy person will not remind us of the danger in the manor over and over again to scare us away."
"what!?"
Zhao Shishi was stunned.
Even Sun Fujia's pupils froze and he looked at Lin Feng.
"Zide, you mean...she keeps reminding us? She wants to save us?"
Lin Feng said: "Think about the time and place where she appeared twice."
"The first time she appeared was at the gate of the manor, when we first entered the manor."
"At that time, she was blabbering, saying that the servants were ghosts and the manor was the underworld... If we were timid, do you think we would still dare to enter the manor?"
Sun Fuga couldn't help but frown. He thought for a while and then said: "Indeed, if we weren't all here and there were only fifteen people, he might really be scared away."
Zhao Fifteen's expression froze, and he suddenly looked at Sun Fujia with wide eyes. He had an expression of disbelief on his face, which seemed to be saying, I didn't expect that you, Sun Fujia, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also poke people's shortcomings!
Lin Feng smiled and said, "The second time she appeared was when the news of Zhang Jiushen's death came."
"At that time, she suddenly rushed out of the room, grabbed me directly, and first said that I was going to be taken away by the ghosts, and then she pointed at you and said that you were also going to be taken away by the ghosts!"
"Let me ask you, when we just learned that Zhang Jiu went crazy and died, if we had no idea about the affairs of the manor, and suddenly a mad woman pointed at us and said that the next person to be kidnapped by ghosts would be us... You think, if We are ordinary people, will we be frightened by her and leave this weird place quickly?"
Sun Fujia frowned and thought again, but this time before he could speak, Zhao Shiwu took the lead and said: "Definitely! After all, even Dr. Sun was so frightened that he turned pale! If Dr. Sun was the only one , it is estimated that Dr. Sun will be frightened and leave the manor directly!"
Sun Fujia's pupils froze, and his expression suddenly became stunned.
He twisted his stiff neck to look at Zhao Shiwu, gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, my skin turned pale, not because I was scared!"
Zhao Shishi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, whatever Dr. Sun said is right."
Sun Fujia: "..."
Looking at the two people stabbing each other, Lin Feng helplessly shook his head.
He said: "So, do you realize the problem?"
Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The first time Miss Gao appeared was when we had not completely entered the manor. At that time, if we were timid and left, we would not become the target of this manor. Got it!"
"The second time Miss Gao appeared, it happened to be after someone died. At that time, her behavior was even more weird, and it was indeed easy to scare us, because we had not drank ginger soup at that time, so we left at that time , there is still a chance to escape."
"So to say……"
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, and he said: "Miss Gao is actually not crazy at all. She is deliberately using crazy methods to scare us away!"
"Her real purpose is to save us by scaring us away?"
Zhao Fifteen's eyes widened with surprise: "She is actually saving us!?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "And this book "The Analects of Confucius"."
He took out the Analects of Confucius from his arms and said: "The words "Run away if there is a ghost" written on this "Analects of Confucius" are exactly the same as Miss Gao's words, so no surprise, this is what Miss Gao left behind."
"Therefore!"
Lin Feng looked at the two of them and said, "It can be seen that Miss Gao is most likely not crazy, she is just pretending to be crazy!"
"Then the question arises." "Why would a normal young woman pretend to be crazy? Why would she slit her wrists and commit suicide?"
Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fuga both frowned.
Zhao Shishi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that she knew what her father had done, but she was kind-hearted and didn't want to help others, so she used crazy methods to help outsiders?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Then she only needs to pretend to be crazy when there are outsiders. Why should she keep pretending to be crazy?"
"Also, the maid said that Miss Gao secretly left the manor five years ago, but ended up fainting on the road outside the manor. She has been crazy since then."
"Why did she leave secretly five years ago? Why did she faint before walking very far? Why did she start pretending to be crazy after that?"
"What happened that made her sense danger and have to pretend to be crazy?"
Zhao Shiwu couldn't figure it out at all. This was completely beyond the limit of what his brain could handle.
Sun Fuga thought for a moment and shook his head.
They had no idea what exactly happened five years ago. They were blind to everything, and they couldn't find the direction by making blind guesses.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He always had a hunch that what happened five years ago must be related to tonight's murder case.
But there were too few clues and information, and even he couldn't figure out what happened five years ago.
Lin Feng slowly exhaled and said, "If we don't talk about this in advance, let's talk about this case next."
He looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Mr. Sun, have you ever asked your maid why Miss Gao went to Gao Deshang's study?"
"Was she called there by Gao Deshang, or did she go on her own initiative?"
Different reasons may represent two completely different situations.
Sun Fujia understood what Lin Feng meant and said, "I asked the maid casually when I was treating Miss Gao."
"The two maids said..."
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "They said that they accidentally fell asleep while guarding Miss Gao, and when they woke up, Miss Gao was gone."
"So, it was Miss Gao who sneaked out while they were asleep."
Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but say after listening to Sun Fujia's words: "In other words, Miss Gao secretly went to the study by herself, Gao Deshang did not call her, so her going to the study was completely random, and no one could have expected it... …”
Zhao Shiwu frowned and said: "Doesn't this mean that no one could prepare in advance to frame Miss Gao? Is it really Miss Gao who killed Gao Deshang?"
Sun Fujia glanced at Zhao Fifteen unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect that Zhao Fifteen would also have a good brain.
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "I also have this tendency. Let's not say whether Miss Gao is really crazy or fake. We just want to say that what she went to Gao Deshang's study was what she did. It was not someone who deliberately led her to do it. Go."
Lin Feng listened to the words of the two people, but did not speak immediately. He just frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Something is wrong."
"What?" The two looked at him.
Sun Fuga hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "Those two maids have been thrown away by Miss Gao twice tonight. Are they so short of memory?"
"Don't forget, when we separated from Miss Gao, they controlled Miss Gao tightly. It was clear that they would never let Miss Gao run away again."
"But, in this case, they actually fell asleep, and two of them fell asleep at the same time..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
"It was not yet midnight. How sleepy could they get? Not to mention that Gao Deshang asked two people to watch Miss Gao. The purpose should be to allow them to take turns to rest."
"If one person is sleepy, they can rest first, and the other person can stay up first, and then they can change shifts... But in the end, they both fell asleep at the same time, which really shouldn't be the case."
Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, but he was smart and quickly understood what Lin Feng meant.
He frowned and thought about the situation, and then said: "Zide, you are right... When I asked them about it, they all felt very annoyed and strange. They told me that they didn't know why they were so sleepy. , In the past, if Miss Gao didn’t sleep, they would never rest.”
"But tonight, they don't even know when they fell asleep."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Don't they know when they fell asleep?"
Sun Fuga nodded: "Yes, that's what they complained about."
Lin Feng tapped his fingertips gently on the table, and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was an awe-inspiring light shining in those narrow eyes.
He looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, did the two of them eat anything in Miss Gao's room?"
Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I have never asked about this... But Zide, if you ask this, do you mean..."
Sun Fujia and Lin Feng had a strong tacit understanding. Listening to Lin Feng's words, he already understood Lin Feng's suspicion. He said: "...Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the sleeping of these two maids?"
"Is there something wrong with sleeping?" Zhao Shishi was startled and looked at Lin Feng.
There seemed to be a whirlpool swirling in Lin Feng's deep eyes.
He said slowly: "They said that in the past, they would not rest if Miss Gao did not sleep! This shows that they will fall asleep tonight, which is very abnormal!"
"At the same time, they also said that they didn't even know when they fell asleep... This sentence is the most important. Normally, no matter how sleepy a person is, they will have an understanding of when they fell asleep. The brain There will be a consciousness that gives up resistance to sleep."
"But they don't know anything about it, and two people have this abnormality at the same time!"
"Then, this really makes me doubt..."
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "They may have been poisoned by sweat medicine or incense! They are not asleep at all, but..."
Lin Feng glanced at Lin Feng and Sun Fujia, and said in a deep voice: "I was stunned!"
"what!?"
Zhao Shiwu exclaimed: "They were not asleep, but were stunned!?"
Sun Fujia's pupils also condensed, and his expression was suddenly startled.
But after he thought carefully, his brows furrowed even more, and he said: "Indeed, if their abnormality is explained by dizziness, it will indeed make more sense at once."
"But what if they were really stunned!"
Sun Fujia took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Who could have stunned them? Could it be Miss Gao?"
Lin Feng's half-narrowed eyes flickered, as if countless thoughts were constantly being arranged and combined.
He said slowly: "There are two possibilities!"
"First, the one who stunned them was Miss Gao!"
"If this is the case, then Miss Gao deliberately stunned them in order to leave secretly and find Gao Deshang. If this is true... I am afraid that Gao Deshang was really the one she killed."
Sun Fujia nodded solemnly, his first thought was this.
"What's another possibility?" Sun Fuga asked.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth raised an expression that was half a smile, and said: "Another possibility...that is, there is a kind person that none of us know, who helped Miss Gao stun the two maids, and let Gao The lady is free!"
"If this is the case..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Sun, that Miss Gao may really be the scapegoat."
Sun Fujia looked shocked. He stood up suddenly and said, "What kind of situation will it be?"
Zhao Shiwu also had a look of surprise on his face.
Two different possibilities represent two truths!
Lin Feng shook his head: "I don't know either. After all, we still have too few clues now."
"So, next... we have to take the initiative to look for some clues."
Actively looking for clues... As Lin Feng's most tacit companion, Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng's meaning almost at the same time. He said, "You want to investigate secretly?"
"Investigating secretly?" Zhao Shiwu was startled.
Then he saw Lin Feng getting up and coming to the door. He looked at the sudden heavy rain outside and said slowly: "You can't guess the truth by guessing. You must check it out yourself."
"The truth is often hidden at the crime scene. Maybe all our puzzles and doubts have answers there."
"So I'm going to... wait until it's quiet at night and no one is in the study, then go to the scene... and conduct a thorough investigation."
…………
After half an hour.
During the heavy rain, three figures secretly came to the study.
Gao Deshang's body was carried to the coffin in the back hall by the housekeeper, where the funeral hall was prepared.
So without Gao Deshang and his body in the study, there would be no servants to guard it anymore.
Lin Feng and the other three arrived at the door smoothly without any trouble.
Looking at the door in front of him, Lin Feng was a little surprised: "It's not locked."
As soon as he pushed, the door was pushed open.
Sun Fuga said: "Maybe there are no valuables here, and Gao Deshang is dead. All their energy was on Gao Deshang's funeral, so they ignored this place."
Lin Feng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "Maybe."
While talking, the three of them entered the study.
Zhao Shiwu quickly closed the door.
The three of them placed their bamboo hats and raincoats at the door to prevent water from dripping all over the floor.
Lin Feng turned around and glanced at the door latch.
The door latch was completely broken, which was consistent with what Butler Han said about being knocked open by a servant from the outside.
He picked up the door latch and inspected it carefully, and found that except for the broken part, the rest of the door latch was very flat and smooth.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Sun Fujia glanced at the door bolt in Lin Feng's hand and said: "If it wasn't Miss Gao who killed the person, the murderer's method of resetting the door bolt seems very unusual... This is comparable to when Qi Chengqiang used a dagger to lock the door bolt when Wang Si was being killed. During the reset, the technique was much more subtle, at least we couldn’t see it at a glance.”
Lin Feng nodded. He carefully put the door latch back in place and looked towards the study.
At this time, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, and Gao Deshang's body was gone.
Lin Feng thought for a while and prepared to test his previous guess. He looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, go to the beams to see if there are any traces of someone hiding."
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, without saying a word, he directly brought the stool and flipped it to the rafter.
He checked every beam, then jumped down and shook his head to Lin Feng: "Father, the dust on all the beams is the same, there are no other traces."
Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.
Sun Fujia glanced at Lin Feng and immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He looked around the study and frowned: "Except for the beams above the head, there is no place to hide people in the study. If there really is a third person, , If he wasn’t hiding on the rafters, where else could he be hiding?”
Lin Feng shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.
The study is not large, and you can see everything at a glance. There is indeed no place to hide people...
Are you really wrong?
Lin Feng frowned slightly and kept scanning the room. At this moment, his brain was like a crazy computer processor, frantically processing all the information he had obtained.
Information is excluded one by one.
One piece of information came to mind again.
He looked at the pool of blood on the ground for a long time, then looked away and looked at the broken vase fragments next to the bookshelf.
Looking at these fragments, Lin Feng was about to look away, but suddenly, his eyes suddenly froze.
Zhao Shiwu said at this time: "Father, please don't embarrass yourself... Since there is no place to hide people, it means there is no third person! The real culprit is Miss Gao!"
Sun Fuga listened to Zhao Shiwu's words and shook his head with a sigh. Even if he found this truth difficult to accept, when all possibilities are eliminated, the remaining possibilities must be accepted no matter how unacceptable they are.
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zi De, it seems this is really a case of patricide——"
"wrong!"
But before Sun Fuga finished speaking, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted Sun Fuga.
He looked directly at Sun Fujia and said, "There is a third person among Dr. Sun!"
Sun Fujia was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng and saw Lin Feng's eyes were bright and full of excitement. It was clearly a look of determination!
Sun Fujia was moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "Zide, what are you doing?"
Lin Feng suddenly came to the bookshelf. He squatted next to the fragments of the vase, looked down at the fragments of the vase on the ground, and said, "Look at these fragments, do you find anything wrong?"
"Not right?"
When Sun Fujia heard this, he quickly looked at the fragments of the vase seriously.
He knew that Lin Feng would never make a mistake. Since Lin Feng said this, he must have discovered something.
But is there anything wrong with the fragments of the vase?
The vase was broken into countless pieces and gathered together. Just looking at these fragments, one can imagine how serious the impact of the vase would have been.
But that's all...
Sun Fujia frowned and looked for a long time, but found nothing unusual. He couldn't help but said: "Zide, what's wrong with these fragments? Are there too many fragments?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of the number of fragments, but that they are all gathered together!"
"Gathered together..." Before Sun Fujia understood what Lin Feng meant, he heard Lin Feng say: "Dr. Sun, think about it... when this vase hits the back of Miss Gao's head and breaks into pieces, its fragments should How to distribute it?”
"How to distribute..."
Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's prompts and looked at the fragments gathered together on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to have finally thought of something.
His eyes suddenly widened, his face changed suddenly, and he said: "The fragments will scatter in all directions! They will be scattered everywhere, at least around here, in all directions!"
Lin Feng nodded and said: "But what about the fragments in front of me? The side close to the bookshelf is indeed scattered everywhere, but the side far away from the bookshelf is strangely gathered together, as if it was struck directly by a knife. Cut open."
"The fragments on the other side of the knife are all strangely gathered on this side of the knife... Why?"
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "Yes, why? Why are the vase fragments presented in such a weird way?"
Lin Feng raised his head and looked into the room. Suddenly, he paused, stood up, and came to the corner of the study.
Immediately, he picked up a broom from here.
Lin Feng turned the broom upside down and looked at the broom... The next moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I see."
Seeing this, Sun Fuga quickly asked: "Zide, what's wrong?"
Lin Feng handed the broom to Sun Fujia and said, "Mr. Sun, take a look."
Sun Fujia looked at the broom in front of him in confusion, but suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he said: "Why are there broken pieces of the vase on the broom?"
He looked at the place where the broom was originally placed and said: "Obviously the broom is far away from the place where the vase fell, but there is no way that the fragments could have splashed there! Let alone such small fragments."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, it is impossible for the fragments of the vase to splash on the broom, but the broom is stained with the fragments of the vase."
"Then there is only one explanation..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said slowly: "Someone used a broom to sweep the fragments of the vase under the bookshelf. Because of this, the fragments were unreasonably gathered together, as if they were cut with one knife, leaving the other side It was as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing those fragments from splashing there."
Zhao Shiwu listened to Lin Feng's words with a confused face: "Why would someone do this? Isn't this superfluous and leaving a loophole?"
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The reason why he did this was not only because he didn't want to leave any flaws, but also because he wanted to solve them!"
"Resolve the flaw? What flaw?" Zhao Shiwu was stunned.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Fix the flaw that caused Miss Gao to not fall under the bookshelf!"
"what!?"
Zhao Shiwu was shocked: "Didn't Miss Gao fall under the bookshelf!?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes roaming on the floor of the study: "I think Miss Gao was hit hard from the back of the head with a vase somewhere else."
"The fragments splashed to other places, but the third person wanted to create the illusion that Miss Gao was accidentally hit by a vase. He wanted to hide the traces of his existence!"
"So, he had to move Miss Gao under the bookshelf!"
"But the vase did not break under the bookshelf. The fragments were not under the bookshelf at all, so he could only use a broom to sweep the fragments of the vase under the bookshelf, thus making all of us mistakenly believe that the vase was under the bookshelf. Broken to pieces!"
"But he didn't expect that by doing this, he faked the illusion that the vase was broken next to the bookshelf, but he ignored that the fragments swept by the broom are completely different from the fragments scattered freely!"
"He even ignored that the broom would be stained with vase debris!"
"therefore……"
Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at Sun Fujia, looked at Zhao Shiwu, and said slowly: "Even if we don't know how the third party hid, even if we don't know how the third party prevented Gao Deshang from committing the crime, The one who made the sound with Miss Gao... But there is one thing we can be sure of!"
Both of them stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes and shock.
Then Lin Feng said calmly: "That is...the third person really exists! And it was him who attacked Miss Gao!"
(End of this chapter)
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's thoughts couldn't help but spread further.
He suddenly thought of the "Analects of Confucius" hidden under the sheets on the bed, and of the four bloody words written with his fingers on the first page of "The Analects of Confucius" - there is a ghost, run!
In the entire manor, Miss Gao is currently the only one who keeps shouting for the ghosts, asking herself and others to escape from the underworld.
So, does this mean that Miss Gao put that "The Analects of Confucius" there?
If so...
Lin Feng's vision was deep and dark, and there were many things that really needed to be carefully considered.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them showed on his face.
Lin Feng looked at the butler, who had a frown on his face and a sad look on his face, and said, "Butler Han, why are you so sure that Mr. Gao was killed by Miss Gao?"
"Did anyone see Miss Gao doing it with their own eyes?"
Butler Han listened to Lin Feng's words, shook his head and said, "No."
"No?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "If not, then why are you so sure that Miss Gao did it? What if someone else attacked Miss Gao and Master Gao at the same time?"
Butler Han sighed: "Although no one saw the young lady taking action, there were servants guarding the door at the time of the incident."
"So we can be sure that apart from the master, only the young lady entered the study tonight."
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
Is there someone guarding the door all the time?
He said: "Is there someone always guarding you? There is no such thing as a servant suddenly wanting to go to the toilet and leaving for a short time?"
Butler Han shook his head and said: "There are always two servants outside the door at the same time. Even if someone wants to go to the toilet, both of them will not leave at the same time... Besides, I have already asked, and tonight they all Never left."
They have never left... If the two servants did not lie, it would be enough to prove that Miss Gao was indeed the only one and no third person entered the study.
Lin Feng thought for a while and then asked: "There were servants guarding the door all the time. Didn't Master Gao make any shouts before he died? Didn't they hear any special noise?"
When Butler Han heard this, he sighed again and said, "Because it has been raining outside, the rain was very loud, and the door in the room was closed tightly, so the servant did not hear anything at first."
"But then, they heard the master let out a scream, and then there was a bang and the sound of a vase breaking."
"The servants were shocked when they heard the sound. They knocked on the door quickly, but after knocking for a long time, there was no sound in the study."
"This gave them a bad premonition, but the door was locked at the time and they couldn't open it. They had to call other people quickly. After there were more people, they opened the door and entered the study. .”
"But by then...it was already too late."
Butler Han shook his head, his face full of sorrow and sadness: "The master is already lying in a pool of blood, and the young lady is also unconscious."
According to Butler Han's words, the scene at that time directly appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
The servants opened the door in panic, only to find both of them lying in a pool of blood. The scene was indeed shocking.
He asked: "When the servant went to ask others to help, did both of them leave, or did one person stay?"
The steward said: "One person is left to continue calling the door, while the other person goes to find the others."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "How long did it take for the other person to call the others?"
"Not long."
The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't take more than half a quarter of an hour at most. Our servants live in another courtyard. He rushed there in a hurry and woke us up with a loud voice. Then we didn't hesitate. Came here quickly and didn’t waste much time at all.”
I woke you up with a loud voice... Are you sure that you guys are not waiting for Gao Deshang's order to arrest us, so they are all ready and haven't slept at all?
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Based on what the butler said, he thought of two possibilities.
First, Miss Gao really killed Gao Deshang. After Miss Gao stabbed the dagger into Gao Deshang's heart, Gao Deshang struggled hard and pushed Miss Gao, causing Miss Gao to hit the bookshelf, causing the vase on the bookshelf to fall. He came down and hit Miss Gao on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious.
Secondly, there was a third person in the room at that time... and the servant named Men who was left behind was an accomplice.
When another servant went to call others to help, he let the third person in the study go, and then used a certain technique to re-lock the door latch, creating the illusion that it was locked from the inside.
Then he pretended that no one came out, and then broke into the door with the people coming from behind.
When the door was knocked open, because his accomplice had already run away, there was no one else in the room. Naturally, people would think that the murderer was Miss Gao.
However, if it is the second case, there is a new problem.
That was this accomplice. When did he enter the study?After entering the study, where did you hide it?
If he killed Gao Deshang and seriously injured Miss Gao, why didn't Gao Deshang and Miss Gao yell?
Since Gao Deshang's final scream could be heard by the servants guarding outside, it means that as long as Gao Deshang and Miss Gao shout, they can alert the servants outside.
However, apart from Gao Deshang's scream before his death, there were no other sounds.
Why is this again?
Third party, how to ensure that Gao Deshang and Miss Gao do not shout during the murder?
Lin Feng frowned, all these thoughts were like a mess.
Full of too much irrationality.
This made it difficult for him to figure things out for a while.
His eyes swept across the study.
I saw that this is a very traditional study room decoration style.
Two rows of bookshelves are close to the wall, and next to the window is a red lacquered pear wood table.
At this time, there were some books placed on the table. The books were scattered and scattered, making it very messy.
There were many books on the bookshelf, and the books were arranged irregularly. It gave him the feeling that someone had been anxiously looking for something on the bookshelf, so the books looked messy.
Other than that, there's nothing special about the room.
There are no cabinets, nothing out of sight.
In other words... there is no place to hide at all!
If, as I guessed, there was a third party, where could the third party be hidden?
Everywhere you go, you will be seen at a glance.
unless……
Lin Feng subconsciously moved his eyes upward and glanced at the beam above his head.
If you hide on the rafters, you won't be easily discovered.
Because the housekeeper and other servants were present, Lin Feng did not deliberately raise his head to look at the beams. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the ground.
It is easy for dust to accumulate on the rafters. If someone is really hiding on it, it will be impossible for dust to fall on the ground.
He lowered his head, but didn't find any dust on the ground.
There was no dust... was it wiped off by someone, or was there no one hiding on the rafters at all?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly. He couldn't take the initiative to reveal his identity now, so he couldn't directly let Zhao Shiwu climb to the beam to investigate.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity later and sneak over to investigate." Lin Feng made a decision in his mind.
He gathered his thoughts, looked at the butler with a sad face, and said with relief: "People cannot be resurrected after death, but Butler Han still has to think about what to do next."
"Mr. Gao is dead, and the murderer is suspected to be Miss Gao... This matter is not a trivial matter."
Steward Han frowned as he listened to Lin Feng's words. He said, "Logically speaking, this is all the master's business. We, the servants, have no right to interfere."
"But the master is dead, the miss is unconscious, and there is no other owner in the manor..."
Lin Feng heard this and said unexpectedly: "Is there no other owner of the manor?"
Butler Han nodded: "My wife died young. The master loved her deeply, so he never renewed his relationship or took in a concubine."
He likes to watch maikos dance so much that his eyes are glued to them. You told me that he loves his wife so much that he doesn’t continue his marriage or take concubines?
Lin Feng thinks that his eyesight is not bad. He can still tell whether a person is lustful or not.
This virtuous person is by no means a non-vegetarian.
But it's true that he didn't continue his marriage or take any concubines, was he just letting these maikos warm their beds?
Lin Feng had many thoughts in his mind, but his face was filled with emotion: "I admire Master Gao's deep affection."
He looked at the butler and said, "Butler, what are you going to do?"
Butler Han sighed: "I am a servant, how dare I make the decision on my master's affairs, so I plan to send someone to report to the government after dawn. It is better for the government to decide how to deal with it."
Send someone to report to the official?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, is it true?
If you go to a black shop to report it to the police, are you not afraid that your affairs will be exposed?
Or is it that Butler Han and others are not afraid of reporting to the government at all, because the mastermind is a noble person, and they are forced to do these things?
Do they still have a conscience in their hearts?
Lin Feng couldn't guess what Butler Han was thinking for a while, but he still agreed with the reporting officer's method.
He nodded and said: "It is indeed most appropriate to let the government handle it."
Butler Han looked at Lin Feng with an apology on his face: "I wanted the guests to have a good rest, but I didn't expect that something like this happened... Let's collect the master's body first and decorate the mourning hall. It's not yet midnight, so the distance is There is still some time before dawn, so the guests should go back and continue to rest."
Seeing that Butler Han had kicked him out, Lin Feng knew that he had no reason to stay.
In order to prevent Han Butler and others from doubting him, he handed over his hand and said: "Okay, then I will go back and rest first. If there is any need for us in the follow-up matters, Butler Han can ask people to come to us, as long as we can If you do it, you must try your best.”
Butler Han's face was filled with emotion: "Definitely."
Lin Feng stopped delaying, took one last look at the study, and left with Zhao Shiwu.
On the way back, Zhao Shiwu said: "Father, Gao Deshang is dead, what should we do next?"
Lin Feng's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "They have never come to arrest us. They are probably waiting for Gao Deshang's order, but Gao Deshang is dead and no one has given them orders... If nothing else, they should not take action against us again. ”
"Next..."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "Let's go to Dr. Sun's place to see how injured Miss Gao is."
The two of them quickly came to Miss Gao's room, but there were servants guarding the place at this time. Lin Feng and Zhao 15, two grown men, could not enter Miss Gao's boudoir for no reason, so they had to temporarily return to the wing and wait. With the return of Sun Fujia.
About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Fuga returned.
Lin Feng asked hurriedly: "How is Miss Gao?"
Zhao Shiwu also looked at Sun Fuga hurriedly.
Sun Fujia picked up the kettle from his waist, took a sip of water, then took a long breath and said slowly: "Don't worry, although Miss Gao suffered severe injuries to the back of her head, her life is not in danger."
"I have bandaged her and prescribed a prescription for my maid. As long as she has a good rest and takes the medicine on time, the problem will not be too big. However, the back of the head is a fragile place after all. I am not sure when she will wake up... …”
Listening to Sun Fujia's professional words, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Dr. Sun, are you really good at medicine?"
Zhao Shiwu also looked surprised.
Sun Fujia smiled faintly and raised his chin slightly, full of the complacency of a champion. He said: "I usually like to read when I have nothing to do. I have dabbled in all kinds of books, including a lot of medical books, so for this I still know a thing or two about the treatment of trauma."
Sun Fujia was a standard ancient scholar, humble but not complacent, so he said he knew a little bit, but what he really meant was that he was probably not at the level of the number one scholar.
In other words, Sun Fujia's medical skills are really no worse than those of any common doctor!
Did he accidentally discover Sun Fuga's hidden ability this time?
He knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he is also self-taught in medical skills. He is truly worthy of being the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty. His academic skills are really impressive!
Lin Feng gave Sun Fujia a thumbs up and praised: "Sun Lang is very rich in middle school and knows everything. I admire him."
Sun Fujia smiled and shook his head: "I only have a brief understanding of it. I can handle simple trauma, but I may not be good at other more complex diseases."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is enough, at least for tonight's matter."
After saying that, Lin Feng put away his smile, talked about business, and asked: "Dr. Sun, do you think Miss Gao's wound was really accidentally hit by a vase?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while, frowned and said: "It's hard to say... The wound was indeed caused by being hit by a heavy object. The vase was not small, and it was filled with some soil. It fell from a high place and was hit by people. It’s consistent with the wounds on the back of Miss Gao’s head.”
Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words and gently tapped his fingertips on the table.
Sun Fujia has both medical skills and rich prison experience. Even he can't tell the difference, which proves that it is really impossible to judge whether it was an accident or man-made injury from Miss Gao's wound.
He thought for a moment and then continued: "Miss Gao's clothes are slightly messy and she seems to have had signs of struggle. Have you checked her body to see if there are any traces of a struggle?"
Sun Fujia said helplessly: "Zide, I am a doctor, not a pervert. There are maids in the room staring at me. Do you think I can lift Miss Gao's clothes and see if there are any bumps or fights on her skin?" Any traces left behind?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but cover his forehead.
He laughed and said: "Look at me... all we have encountered recently are dead people. This is a rare living person we encounter. I have forgotten that living people are different from dead people and cannot be inspected at will by us."
Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng. After all, Miss Gao was really the first survivor in the past two months.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Then there is no way to verify Miss Gao's injury in person, and there is no way to judge whether there are any scars on her body."
Sun Fuga said: "You can ask your maid to check it out."
"no!"
Lin Feng shook his head directly: "I can't trust anyone in this manor. They may not tell the truth."
Sun Fujia also felt troubled. He frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, although I don't know if Miss Gao has any scars on her body, I am taking her pulse." Then I noticed something was wrong with her wrist."
When Lin Feng heard this, he said directly: "I know, it's a cut."
Sun Fujia was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng with surprise on his face: "How do you know?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "After learning about Zhang Jiu's death, when we passed Miss Gao's room, Miss Gao rushed out. At that time, she held my arm tightly with both hands, and as her hands exerted force, her clothes The sleeves slid back slightly, and I noticed obvious cuts on her wrists."
"Not surprisingly……"
Lin Feng looked at the dark night outside the door and said solemnly: "She should have tried to commit suicide."
"She committed suicide!?"
Zhao Fifteen couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Lin Feng's words, with a look of shock on his face.
Sun Fujia agreed with Lin Feng's words. He nodded: "After I found the wound at that time, I checked it carefully. It was indeed a wound that she could have cut by herself. If someone else had cut her arm, the wound would be different."
Zhao Shiwu was confused: "Why did she commit suicide? Is she really crazy and want to harm herself?"
Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Shiwu and said meaningfully: "A crazy person will not remind us of the danger in the manor over and over again to scare us away."
"what!?"
Zhao Shishi was stunned.
Even Sun Fujia's pupils froze and he looked at Lin Feng.
"Zide, you mean...she keeps reminding us? She wants to save us?"
Lin Feng said: "Think about the time and place where she appeared twice."
"The first time she appeared was at the gate of the manor, when we first entered the manor."
"At that time, she was blabbering, saying that the servants were ghosts and the manor was the underworld... If we were timid, do you think we would still dare to enter the manor?"
Sun Fuga couldn't help but frown. He thought for a while and then said: "Indeed, if we weren't all here and there were only fifteen people, he might really be scared away."
Zhao Fifteen's expression froze, and he suddenly looked at Sun Fujia with wide eyes. He had an expression of disbelief on his face, which seemed to be saying, I didn't expect that you, Sun Fujia, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also poke people's shortcomings!
Lin Feng smiled and said, "The second time she appeared was when the news of Zhang Jiushen's death came."
"At that time, she suddenly rushed out of the room, grabbed me directly, and first said that I was going to be taken away by the ghosts, and then she pointed at you and said that you were also going to be taken away by the ghosts!"
"Let me ask you, when we just learned that Zhang Jiu went crazy and died, if we had no idea about the affairs of the manor, and suddenly a mad woman pointed at us and said that the next person to be kidnapped by ghosts would be us... You think, if We are ordinary people, will we be frightened by her and leave this weird place quickly?"
Sun Fujia frowned and thought again, but this time before he could speak, Zhao Shiwu took the lead and said: "Definitely! After all, even Dr. Sun was so frightened that he turned pale! If Dr. Sun was the only one , it is estimated that Dr. Sun will be frightened and leave the manor directly!"
Sun Fujia's pupils froze, and his expression suddenly became stunned.
He twisted his stiff neck to look at Zhao Shiwu, gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, my skin turned pale, not because I was scared!"
Zhao Shishi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, whatever Dr. Sun said is right."
Sun Fujia: "..."
Looking at the two people stabbing each other, Lin Feng helplessly shook his head.
He said: "So, do you realize the problem?"
Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The first time Miss Gao appeared was when we had not completely entered the manor. At that time, if we were timid and left, we would not become the target of this manor. Got it!"
"The second time Miss Gao appeared, it happened to be after someone died. At that time, her behavior was even more weird, and it was indeed easy to scare us, because we had not drank ginger soup at that time, so we left at that time , there is still a chance to escape."
"So to say……"
Sun Fujia's eyes flashed slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, and he said: "Miss Gao is actually not crazy at all. She is deliberately using crazy methods to scare us away!"
"Her real purpose is to save us by scaring us away?"
Zhao Fifteen's eyes widened with surprise: "She is actually saving us!?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "And this book "The Analects of Confucius"."
He took out the Analects of Confucius from his arms and said: "The words "Run away if there is a ghost" written on this "Analects of Confucius" are exactly the same as Miss Gao's words, so no surprise, this is what Miss Gao left behind."
"Therefore!"
Lin Feng looked at the two of them and said, "It can be seen that Miss Gao is most likely not crazy, she is just pretending to be crazy!"
"Then the question arises." "Why would a normal young woman pretend to be crazy? Why would she slit her wrists and commit suicide?"
Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fuga both frowned.
Zhao Shishi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that she knew what her father had done, but she was kind-hearted and didn't want to help others, so she used crazy methods to help outsiders?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Then she only needs to pretend to be crazy when there are outsiders. Why should she keep pretending to be crazy?"
"Also, the maid said that Miss Gao secretly left the manor five years ago, but ended up fainting on the road outside the manor. She has been crazy since then."
"Why did she leave secretly five years ago? Why did she faint before walking very far? Why did she start pretending to be crazy after that?"
"What happened that made her sense danger and have to pretend to be crazy?"
Zhao Shiwu couldn't figure it out at all. This was completely beyond the limit of what his brain could handle.
Sun Fuga thought for a moment and shook his head.
They had no idea what exactly happened five years ago. They were blind to everything, and they couldn't find the direction by making blind guesses.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He always had a hunch that what happened five years ago must be related to tonight's murder case.
But there were too few clues and information, and even he couldn't figure out what happened five years ago.
Lin Feng slowly exhaled and said, "If we don't talk about this in advance, let's talk about this case next."
He looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Mr. Sun, have you ever asked your maid why Miss Gao went to Gao Deshang's study?"
"Was she called there by Gao Deshang, or did she go on her own initiative?"
Different reasons may represent two completely different situations.
Sun Fujia understood what Lin Feng meant and said, "I asked the maid casually when I was treating Miss Gao."
"The two maids said..."
Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "They said that they accidentally fell asleep while guarding Miss Gao, and when they woke up, Miss Gao was gone."
"So, it was Miss Gao who sneaked out while they were asleep."
Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but say after listening to Sun Fujia's words: "In other words, Miss Gao secretly went to the study by herself, Gao Deshang did not call her, so her going to the study was completely random, and no one could have expected it... …”
Zhao Shiwu frowned and said: "Doesn't this mean that no one could prepare in advance to frame Miss Gao? Is it really Miss Gao who killed Gao Deshang?"
Sun Fujia glanced at Zhao Fifteen unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect that Zhao Fifteen would also have a good brain.
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "I also have this tendency. Let's not say whether Miss Gao is really crazy or fake. We just want to say that what she went to Gao Deshang's study was what she did. It was not someone who deliberately led her to do it. Go."
Lin Feng listened to the words of the two people, but did not speak immediately. He just frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Something is wrong."
"What?" The two looked at him.
Sun Fuga hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng said slowly: "Those two maids have been thrown away by Miss Gao twice tonight. Are they so short of memory?"
"Don't forget, when we separated from Miss Gao, they controlled Miss Gao tightly. It was clear that they would never let Miss Gao run away again."
"But, in this case, they actually fell asleep, and two of them fell asleep at the same time..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
"It was not yet midnight. How sleepy could they get? Not to mention that Gao Deshang asked two people to watch Miss Gao. The purpose should be to allow them to take turns to rest."
"If one person is sleepy, they can rest first, and the other person can stay up first, and then they can change shifts... But in the end, they both fell asleep at the same time, which really shouldn't be the case."
Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, but he was smart and quickly understood what Lin Feng meant.
He frowned and thought about the situation, and then said: "Zide, you are right... When I asked them about it, they all felt very annoyed and strange. They told me that they didn't know why they were so sleepy. , In the past, if Miss Gao didn’t sleep, they would never rest.”
"But tonight, they don't even know when they fell asleep."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Don't they know when they fell asleep?"
Sun Fuga nodded: "Yes, that's what they complained about."
Lin Feng tapped his fingertips gently on the table, and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was an awe-inspiring light shining in those narrow eyes.
He looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, did the two of them eat anything in Miss Gao's room?"
Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I have never asked about this... But Zide, if you ask this, do you mean..."
Sun Fujia and Lin Feng had a strong tacit understanding. Listening to Lin Feng's words, he already understood Lin Feng's suspicion. He said: "...Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the sleeping of these two maids?"
"Is there something wrong with sleeping?" Zhao Shishi was startled and looked at Lin Feng.
There seemed to be a whirlpool swirling in Lin Feng's deep eyes.
He said slowly: "They said that in the past, they would not rest if Miss Gao did not sleep! This shows that they will fall asleep tonight, which is very abnormal!"
"At the same time, they also said that they didn't even know when they fell asleep... This sentence is the most important. Normally, no matter how sleepy a person is, they will have an understanding of when they fell asleep. The brain There will be a consciousness that gives up resistance to sleep."
"But they don't know anything about it, and two people have this abnormality at the same time!"
"Then, this really makes me doubt..."
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "They may have been poisoned by sweat medicine or incense! They are not asleep at all, but..."
Lin Feng glanced at Lin Feng and Sun Fujia, and said in a deep voice: "I was stunned!"
"what!?"
Zhao Shiwu exclaimed: "They were not asleep, but were stunned!?"
Sun Fujia's pupils also condensed, and his expression was suddenly startled.
But after he thought carefully, his brows furrowed even more, and he said: "Indeed, if their abnormality is explained by dizziness, it will indeed make more sense at once."
"But what if they were really stunned!"
Sun Fujia took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Who could have stunned them? Could it be Miss Gao?"
Lin Feng's half-narrowed eyes flickered, as if countless thoughts were constantly being arranged and combined.
He said slowly: "There are two possibilities!"
"First, the one who stunned them was Miss Gao!"
"If this is the case, then Miss Gao deliberately stunned them in order to leave secretly and find Gao Deshang. If this is true... I am afraid that Gao Deshang was really the one she killed."
Sun Fujia nodded solemnly, his first thought was this.
"What's another possibility?" Sun Fuga asked.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth raised an expression that was half a smile, and said: "Another possibility...that is, there is a kind person that none of us know, who helped Miss Gao stun the two maids, and let Gao The lady is free!"
"If this is the case..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Sun, that Miss Gao may really be the scapegoat."
Sun Fujia looked shocked. He stood up suddenly and said, "What kind of situation will it be?"
Zhao Shiwu also had a look of surprise on his face.
Two different possibilities represent two truths!
Lin Feng shook his head: "I don't know either. After all, we still have too few clues now."
"So, next... we have to take the initiative to look for some clues."
Actively looking for clues... As Lin Feng's most tacit companion, Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng's meaning almost at the same time. He said, "You want to investigate secretly?"
"Investigating secretly?" Zhao Shiwu was startled.
Then he saw Lin Feng getting up and coming to the door. He looked at the sudden heavy rain outside and said slowly: "You can't guess the truth by guessing. You must check it out yourself."
"The truth is often hidden at the crime scene. Maybe all our puzzles and doubts have answers there."
"So I'm going to... wait until it's quiet at night and no one is in the study, then go to the scene... and conduct a thorough investigation."
…………
After half an hour.
During the heavy rain, three figures secretly came to the study.
Gao Deshang's body was carried to the coffin in the back hall by the housekeeper, where the funeral hall was prepared.
So without Gao Deshang and his body in the study, there would be no servants to guard it anymore.
Lin Feng and the other three arrived at the door smoothly without any trouble.
Looking at the door in front of him, Lin Feng was a little surprised: "It's not locked."
As soon as he pushed, the door was pushed open.
Sun Fuga said: "Maybe there are no valuables here, and Gao Deshang is dead. All their energy was on Gao Deshang's funeral, so they ignored this place."
Lin Feng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "Maybe."
While talking, the three of them entered the study.
Zhao Shiwu quickly closed the door.
The three of them placed their bamboo hats and raincoats at the door to prevent water from dripping all over the floor.
Lin Feng turned around and glanced at the door latch.
The door latch was completely broken, which was consistent with what Butler Han said about being knocked open by a servant from the outside.
He picked up the door latch and inspected it carefully, and found that except for the broken part, the rest of the door latch was very flat and smooth.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Sun Fujia glanced at the door bolt in Lin Feng's hand and said: "If it wasn't Miss Gao who killed the person, the murderer's method of resetting the door bolt seems very unusual... This is comparable to when Qi Chengqiang used a dagger to lock the door bolt when Wang Si was being killed. During the reset, the technique was much more subtle, at least we couldn’t see it at a glance.”
Lin Feng nodded. He carefully put the door latch back in place and looked towards the study.
At this time, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, and Gao Deshang's body was gone.
Lin Feng thought for a while and prepared to test his previous guess. He looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Fifteen, go to the beams to see if there are any traces of someone hiding."
When Zhao Shiwu heard this, without saying a word, he directly brought the stool and flipped it to the rafter.
He checked every beam, then jumped down and shook his head to Lin Feng: "Father, the dust on all the beams is the same, there are no other traces."
Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.
Sun Fujia glanced at Lin Feng and immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He looked around the study and frowned: "Except for the beams above the head, there is no place to hide people in the study. If there really is a third person, , If he wasn’t hiding on the rafters, where else could he be hiding?”
Lin Feng shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.
The study is not large, and you can see everything at a glance. There is indeed no place to hide people...
Are you really wrong?
Lin Feng frowned slightly and kept scanning the room. At this moment, his brain was like a crazy computer processor, frantically processing all the information he had obtained.
Information is excluded one by one.
One piece of information came to mind again.
He looked at the pool of blood on the ground for a long time, then looked away and looked at the broken vase fragments next to the bookshelf.
Looking at these fragments, Lin Feng was about to look away, but suddenly, his eyes suddenly froze.
Zhao Shiwu said at this time: "Father, please don't embarrass yourself... Since there is no place to hide people, it means there is no third person! The real culprit is Miss Gao!"
Sun Fuga listened to Zhao Shiwu's words and shook his head with a sigh. Even if he found this truth difficult to accept, when all possibilities are eliminated, the remaining possibilities must be accepted no matter how unacceptable they are.
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zi De, it seems this is really a case of patricide——"
"wrong!"
But before Sun Fuga finished speaking, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted Sun Fuga.
He looked directly at Sun Fujia and said, "There is a third person among Dr. Sun!"
Sun Fujia was stunned. He looked at Lin Feng and saw Lin Feng's eyes were bright and full of excitement. It was clearly a look of determination!
Sun Fujia was moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "Zide, what are you doing?"
Lin Feng suddenly came to the bookshelf. He squatted next to the fragments of the vase, looked down at the fragments of the vase on the ground, and said, "Look at these fragments, do you find anything wrong?"
"Not right?"
When Sun Fujia heard this, he quickly looked at the fragments of the vase seriously.
He knew that Lin Feng would never make a mistake. Since Lin Feng said this, he must have discovered something.
But is there anything wrong with the fragments of the vase?
The vase was broken into countless pieces and gathered together. Just looking at these fragments, one can imagine how serious the impact of the vase would have been.
But that's all...
Sun Fujia frowned and looked for a long time, but found nothing unusual. He couldn't help but said: "Zide, what's wrong with these fragments? Are there too many fragments?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of the number of fragments, but that they are all gathered together!"
"Gathered together..." Before Sun Fujia understood what Lin Feng meant, he heard Lin Feng say: "Dr. Sun, think about it... when this vase hits the back of Miss Gao's head and breaks into pieces, its fragments should How to distribute it?”
"How to distribute..."
Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's prompts and looked at the fragments gathered together on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to have finally thought of something.
His eyes suddenly widened, his face changed suddenly, and he said: "The fragments will scatter in all directions! They will be scattered everywhere, at least around here, in all directions!"
Lin Feng nodded and said: "But what about the fragments in front of me? The side close to the bookshelf is indeed scattered everywhere, but the side far away from the bookshelf is strangely gathered together, as if it was struck directly by a knife. Cut open."
"The fragments on the other side of the knife are all strangely gathered on this side of the knife... Why?"
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "Yes, why? Why are the vase fragments presented in such a weird way?"
Lin Feng raised his head and looked into the room. Suddenly, he paused, stood up, and came to the corner of the study.
Immediately, he picked up a broom from here.
Lin Feng turned the broom upside down and looked at the broom... The next moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I see."
Seeing this, Sun Fuga quickly asked: "Zide, what's wrong?"
Lin Feng handed the broom to Sun Fujia and said, "Mr. Sun, take a look."
Sun Fujia looked at the broom in front of him in confusion, but suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he said: "Why are there broken pieces of the vase on the broom?"
He looked at the place where the broom was originally placed and said: "Obviously the broom is far away from the place where the vase fell, but there is no way that the fragments could have splashed there! Let alone such small fragments."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, it is impossible for the fragments of the vase to splash on the broom, but the broom is stained with the fragments of the vase."
"Then there is only one explanation..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said slowly: "Someone used a broom to sweep the fragments of the vase under the bookshelf. Because of this, the fragments were unreasonably gathered together, as if they were cut with one knife, leaving the other side It was as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing those fragments from splashing there."
Zhao Shiwu listened to Lin Feng's words with a confused face: "Why would someone do this? Isn't this superfluous and leaving a loophole?"
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The reason why he did this was not only because he didn't want to leave any flaws, but also because he wanted to solve them!"
"Resolve the flaw? What flaw?" Zhao Shiwu was stunned.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Fix the flaw that caused Miss Gao to not fall under the bookshelf!"
"what!?"
Zhao Shiwu was shocked: "Didn't Miss Gao fall under the bookshelf!?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes roaming on the floor of the study: "I think Miss Gao was hit hard from the back of the head with a vase somewhere else."
"The fragments splashed to other places, but the third person wanted to create the illusion that Miss Gao was accidentally hit by a vase. He wanted to hide the traces of his existence!"
"So, he had to move Miss Gao under the bookshelf!"
"But the vase did not break under the bookshelf. The fragments were not under the bookshelf at all, so he could only use a broom to sweep the fragments of the vase under the bookshelf, thus making all of us mistakenly believe that the vase was under the bookshelf. Broken to pieces!"
"But he didn't expect that by doing this, he faked the illusion that the vase was broken next to the bookshelf, but he ignored that the fragments swept by the broom are completely different from the fragments scattered freely!"
"He even ignored that the broom would be stained with vase debris!"
"therefore……"
Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at Sun Fujia, looked at Zhao Shiwu, and said slowly: "Even if we don't know how the third party hid, even if we don't know how the third party prevented Gao Deshang from committing the crime, The one who made the sound with Miss Gao... But there is one thing we can be sure of!"
Both of them stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes and shock.
Then Lin Feng said calmly: "That is...the third person really exists! And it was him who attacked Miss Gao!"
