Chapter 138: Great show of reasoning, the real murderer has nowhere to hide! ([-]-in-[-])
Listening to Lin Feng's words and looking at Lin Feng's luminous figure, everyone couldn't help but stir up huge waves in their hearts.
Especially the people in Wanning County.
How much they doubted Lin Feng at the beginning, how much they felt shocked and ashamed at this moment.
"The reasoning is exquisite and interconnected. Lin Sizheng is truly worthy of the title of a superb detective!"
"I actually doubted Lin Simasei just now! Now think about it, how could I have the courage to doubt the famous Lin Simasei!?"
"The main reason is that we are too impatient. Lin Sizheng failed to find anything in two operations, so we feel that Lin Sizheng's name is not worthy of his name. But think about ourselves... sometimes when we investigate a case, we fail not only twice, but also ten times. It’s normal.”
"Yes, yes, fortunately, Lin Sizheng was not affected by us at all, and he found evidence of the fifth person's existence in no time. Now that it's good, the direction of the case is suddenly clear."
"It turns out that Zhao Shiwu was really wronged!"
"Fortunately, Lin Sizheng came to investigate in person, otherwise we might really catch a good person by mistake."
The government officials couldn't help shaking their heads and whispering.
The deep eyes of the county magistrate Sun Pingan were flashing at this time. He kept looking at Lin Feng, as if he wanted to see through Lin Feng's whole body, up and down, inside and out.
However, Lin Feng calmly welcomed his inquiry and did not dodge his gaze. This made Changsun Ping'an let out a long breath, and then he cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Lin Sizheng, I want to apologize for my doubts about you just now. The tone of his words was a bit inappropriate, I hope Lin Si Zheng can forgive me."
When Sun Fujia saw this scene, his grin reached to his ears.
He just felt very happy in his heart.
Think about when Lin Feng first arrived here, he was suspected and tested, but he could only investigate as if nothing happened.
But now, Lin Feng has proven himself with actual abilities and has won everyone's recognition and admiration.
No one doubted him or ignored him anymore. On the contrary, even the arrogant eldest grandson Ping An had to put on such a sincere attitude.
Comparing the difference between the front and back is irresistible.
However, Lin Feng did not feel complacent. Seeing Changsun Ping'an express his apology, he also smiled softly, cupped his hands and said: "There is no need for Magistrate Changsun to be like this. I understand the difficulties faced by Magistrate Changsun. If the place is changed, I will probably be happy." It may not be as good as Magistrate Changsun."
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Ping'an grinned directly on his seemingly honest face. He smiled and said: "Lin Sizheng's words are heart-warming. No matter what Lin Sizheng thinks of me, I like Lin Sizheng very much anyway. If in the future If we can become friends, that would be even better.”
Lin Feng laughed: "It is an honor for me to be friends with Magistrate Changsun."
Even though Changsun Ping'an knew that Lin Feng's words were a polite response, he still felt very grateful.
After all, Lin Feng was different from others. In his heart, ten thousand flattery words from County Lieutenant Kong Feng were not as good as one kind word from Lin Feng.
"Ah!"
Kong Feng, who was sitting on the wall with the night wind blowing, suddenly sneezed. He closed his sleeves in confusion, fearing that he would be infected by the cold.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said to Kong Feng: "Kong County Lieutenant will check the wall carefully again to see if there are any other clues. If not, come back first."
When Kong Feng heard this, he nodded obediently.
That obedient look was completely different from before.
Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan at this time and said: "Magistrate Changsun, can you be sure that Zhao Shiwu is not suspected?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Ping'an touched his nose in embarrassment and nodded: "Zhao Fifteen left through the door and had no chance to climb over the wall. Naturally, he is no longer suspected."
Zhao Shiwu was finally cleared of suspicion... The biggest stone in Lin Feng's heart fell.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something.
He suddenly looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, do you know Zhao Shiwu's deeds before he became a jailer?"
"This……"
Sun Fujia did not expect that Lin Feng would suddenly bring up this topic.
He shook his head: "I really don't know, after all, he was just an ordinary jailer before."
"However, before anyone joins the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice will conduct a detailed investigation on him. If you want to know about his previous affairs, I will immediately send someone to the Ministry of Justice to search, and they should be able to find it."
Lin Feng nodded directly: "Okay, then Dr. Lao Sun will be here."
Sun Fujia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite to me?"
With that said, he turned around and ordered the yamen servant to go to the yamen of the Criminal Department.
After doing this, Sun Fujia returned to Lin Feng. He looked at Lin Feng curiously and said, "But Zide... why do you suddenly want to know about Zhao Shiwu's past? He has been following you for so long, and he has no idea." I saw you asked about this."
Lin Feng looked at the living room with the door open, looked at the candlelight projected, and said slowly: "Everyone has their own secrets, and everyone has a past that they don't want to talk to others... I only care about Zhao Shi now." Fifth, whatever he thinks is enough. As for his past, if he wants to tell me, he can tell me at any time. If he doesn’t want to tell me, I won’t break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.”
Sun Fuga nodded.
This is what distinguishes Lin Feng from others.
He is obviously very smart and can easily detect all the secrets of other people, but he uses this ability very restrainedly, making others feel very comfortable and comfortable in front of Lin Feng.
"What about this time?" Sun Fujia asked.
Lin Feng pursed his lips and said: "There is no other way this time, and this is also a reminder from Zhao Shiwu to me."
"what?"
Sun Fuga was startled: "Zhao Shiwu's reminder?"
Changsun Pingan was also listening attentively. When he heard this, he couldn't help but secretly leaned toward Lin Feng and put his ear closer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at Changsun Pingan from the corner of his eye, and did not care that his words were overheard by Changsun Pingan. This was not a secret that could not be told to others.
He said: "Now what happened in Cao's house is actually very clear. Before Zhao Fifteen arrived, Cao Yuanwailang had been brutally murdered by the murderer."
"So when Zhao Shiwu arrived here, what he saw was the body of Cao Yuanwailang."
With that said, he looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, you also know Zhao Shiwu. With Zhao Shiwu's temperament, what do you think his first thought would be when he found Cao Yuanwailang lying in a pool of blood?"
"Report the crime!" Sun Fuga said without thinking.
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, Zhao Shishi would never ignore it when he saw an official being killed, but he did not report the case and left in a hurry without even having time to tell the old housekeeper."
"Why is that?"
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "Unless there is something more important than this, he won't have time to delay."
Lin Feng nodded: "What could it be?"
Sun Fujia shook his head, he had no clue.
Changsun Ping'an also looked thoughtful at the side, but he didn't understand Zhao Shiwu, and he didn't have any opinions.
Lin Feng did not give in and said directly: "I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter, Zhao Shiwu has already given us a hint."
"Although Zhao Shishi has a simple and honest temper and his head is not that crooked, when he was led here and came to see Cao Yuanwailang alone, he found Cao Yuanwailang lying in a pool of blood, and his body temperature was not even cold... Zhao Shiwu should also know that he has been framed, and this is obviously a trick to frame him."
"So it's impossible for him not to know that when he left in a hurry without reporting the case or telling the old housekeeper about the murder of Yuan Wai Lang Cao, he would definitely become the biggest suspect... and the government would definitely come to arrest him. This officer’s residence!”
"That is to say..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said slowly: "Zhao Shiwu must know that I will know about this case! And for his sake, I will come to investigate in person."
Sun Fujia nodded repeatedly.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Shiwu, Zhao Shiwu could still think of these reasonable things.
"That's the problem."
Lin Feng said: "Since Zhao Fifteen knows that this officer will personally investigate the case, he must also hope that this officer will help him clear his suspicions. He also knows how worried this officer will be about him. With his temperament, he is both emotional and rational. , he should leave some clues for me! Even if he temporarily carves two words on the table with a knife, it is not too difficult for him. "
"But he didn't do this. He didn't leave any words or clues to me. Why?"
Sun Fujia frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of what Lin Feng asked him to do, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
He hurriedly asked: "Could it be that...he didn't stay on purpose, because not leaving behind also represents a clue?"
"The one who knows me is Dr. Sun!"
Lin Feng nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Zhao Shishi should have left clues, but he didn't, which means another meaning. He thought that he didn't need to leave clues, so that I could know what happened to him. What happened?"
"That means that I should know what happened to him... In addition, he is going to pay homage to his friend today, so if nothing unexpected happens, what he encounters is probably related to the person he is going to pay homage to. It’s about friends.”
"That's why I want to know more about his past. As long as I can find out who the friend he paid tribute to today is and follow the clues, maybe the secret of what happened to Zhao Shiwu will be revealed."
Sun Fujia's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "This idea is very reasonable, and I think that's it."
"How about I arrange a few more people to urge them to speed up?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "This cannot be speeded up by having more people. Let them go to the Criminal Department to find it first... Moreover, of course, we must understand Zhao Shiwu's matter clearly..."
"But the real culprit of this person who dares to scheme against me..." Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a chill flashed in his eyes, and said calmly: "We have to catch him too!"
In his previous life, Lin Feng was famous for protecting his shortcomings.
In this life, Zhao Shiwu was the first person Lin Feng saw after traveling through time. It was Zhao Shiwu who saved him, so Lin Feng had the deepest feelings for Zhao Shiwu.
If these guys from the Four Elephants Organization dare to scheme against Zhao Shiwu, Lin Feng will never give up.
Clearing Zhao Shiwu's suspicion is only the first step.
What he really wants to do is to find out the real culprit and let the Four Elephants Organization steal the chicken but lose the rice!
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Changsun Pingan quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Si Zheng, do you have a way to find the real murderer?"
After knowing that the real culprit was the mysterious fifth person, Changsun Pingan was actually ready to extend the front line of this case.
In his view, this was by no means a case that could be solved overnight.
After all, the identity of the fifth person is unknown. No one has seen him, and there is no evidence pointing to him. To catch him, the difficulty is no different from climbing to the sky.
How to find the real culprit when there are no witnesses, no physical evidence, nothing at all?
But hearing what Lin Feng meant, Lin Feng didn't seem to give up yet.
"I can infer some information about the real murderer, but it's not enough."
Lin Feng frowned slightly and said: "These situations are still too general to determine the real culprit. It would be great if there are other new clues."
Changsun Ping'an sighed: "Being able to find these blood stains and knowing the existence of the fifth person is already an unexpected gain. Where are there any new clues?"
"The cunning of this real murderer is beyond imagination, and his calculations against Zhao Fifteen were even more extreme. Lin Sizheng, you are here, otherwise I would have identified the murderer as Zhao Fifteen."
Sun Fujia also sighed and nodded.
In terms of complexity, this case is incomparable to cases such as the Zhao Deshun case. It is not as tortuous and complicated.
But the difficulty is that the real murderer is probably a professional killer that no one knows.
The killer ran away after killing everyone.
There was no apparent motive, and no one had ever seen him.
How to find it?
This can no longer be inferred using logical reasoning.
Lin Feng naturally understood the difficulty of the case, but he also knew that this was not something that an ordinary killer could do.
You can still reason.
It's just that he needs more clues.
Lin Feng looked towards the living room and said, "Let's go to the crime scene to investigate. Maybe we can find some new clues."
With that said, he was about to leave.
But at this moment, Kong Feng's voice suddenly stopped Lin Feng.
"Huh? What is this... a piece of clothing?"
"Why are there pieces of clothing here?"
Scraps of clothing?
Hearing Kong Feng's voice, Lin Feng's feet suddenly stopped.
He turned his head sharply, raised his head and looked at Kong Feng who was lying on the tree, and said, "What pieces of clothing?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was so concerned, everyone also looked at Kong Feng.
Kong Feng did not dare to delay and said quickly: "A piece of black clothes was caught on a sharp tree branch, but I don't know if it is related to the real murderer."
"Black pieces of clothing..."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "The murderer wants to hide himself well, so the color of his clothes must match the dark night. It will most likely be black clothes."
"And no one else will climb this tree except him...so, it definitely belongs to him!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Changsun Ping'an's eyes lit up and he said: "What an unexpected surprise, I didn't expect that there are really new clues!"
"Lieutenant Kong County, take it down quickly...and check the tree again to see if there is anything else."
Kong Feng nodded quickly.
He first took a lantern and looked at it carefully to make sure that there were no clues in the tree. Then without further delay, he quickly took off the black piece of clothing and got down from the tree.
When he arrived under the tree, he stretched out his hands, holding the piece of clothing in his palms, and said, "This is the piece."
Lin Feng and others looked around.
I saw that it was a piece of clothing that was only two inches in size. There were obvious signs of tearing on the piece.
But other than that, there was nothing special about the scraps of clothing.
Changsun Pingan picked up the pieces of clothing, inspected them carefully, and said, "The quality of the cloth is acceptable. It seems that the real murderer's living standard is not bad."
Lin Feng nodded: "His clothes are stained with blood, and it will definitely not be washed out, so if nothing else happens, he will probably discard them and destroy them."
"And the clothes that can be discarded at will are of high quality. He is indeed from a wealthy family."
Changsun Pingan nodded quickly. He only guessed the murderer's wealth based on the clothes and cloth itself, but Lin Feng analyzed it from a more detailed perspective, and the result was undoubtedly more accurate and trustworthy than his own.
This made him sigh. From this incident, he could see that there was indeed some gap between himself and Lin Feng.
"But other than that, there's nothing special about these clothes."
Changsun Pingan observed carefully for a long time, frowned and shook his head: "It seems that it still doesn't work."
"If the murderer is wearing this dress, then we really can't go door-to-door to search, maybe we still have a chance... But the murderer is so cunning and cunning, there is no way he can leave such a big flaw for himself, so he either throws away the dress or Destroyed or hidden, even if he stood in front of us, we would not be able to detect him based on this piece of cloth."
He looked at Lin Feng with a sigh and said, "Lin Sizheng, it seems that there is still a long way to go to find the real murderer."
Lin Feng stared at the piece of cloth and said, "Magistrate Changsun, can you let me take a closer look at this piece of cloth?"
Changsun Pingan nodded quickly: "Of course."
With that said, he handed the pieces of clothing to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the pieces of clothes and was about to gently twist them when suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
"This is?"
He suddenly discovered that there was something golden on his fingertips.
It looks like very fine sand.
"Gold Sands?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Where did the golden sand come from?"
He took a closer look at the pieces of clothing. There was no gold sand attached to the pieces of clothing. Where did that come from?
Lin Feng thought for a while, and suddenly, he remembered something.
I just touched something.
He lowered his head suddenly and looked at the footprints under the tree again.
I was here just now. In order to verify how the murderer left the footprints, I put my finger into the footprints to measure the depth.
Could it be that...the golden sand got stuck in the footprints?
He said, "Lantern!"
Kong Feng quickly handed the lantern to Lin Feng.
Then Lin Feng squatted down, put the lantern close to the footprints, and then carefully observed the situation in the footprints.
At this time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "As expected."
Seeing Lin Feng's strange behavior without warning, Changsun Pingan couldn't help but said, "Lin Si Zheng, is there anything wrong with these footprints?"
"Magistrate Changsun, please take a look."
Lin Feng pointed to the footprints and said, "In the innermost part of the footprints, there is a little golden sand."
"Golden sand?"
Hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly moved his head closer. After taking a closer look this time, he unexpectedly said: "It really does exist."
"I didn't notice it just now."
Lin Feng said: "Because there are not many golden sands and the light is not good late at night, it is really easy to ignore..."
As he spoke, he picked up the lantern and shined it elsewhere.
After searching for a long time, he said: "There is no golden sand anywhere else, only here."
Changsun Pingan only felt a toothache. Seeing that Lin Feng cared so much about Jinsha, he really wanted to know what it meant. However, as the magistrate of Wanning County, he couldn't keep asking, which made him seem ignorant.
After thinking for a long time, he could only give Kong Feng a look and let Kong Feng act like an ignorant person.
Kong Feng's eyelids twitched and he said bravely: "Lin Sizheng, does this mean anything?" Changsun Pingan quickly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "It is not found elsewhere, only in this footprint, which means that only a small amount of these gold sands should be embedded in the gaps in the soles of the murderer's shoes. When the murderer jumped down from the tree, it was shaken The force was relatively strong, and the golden sand was shaken out."
Kong Feng thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "Lin Si is so awesome, why didn't I think of it at the beginning."
"Then what? Will this help us find the real murderer?"
Lin Feng said: "There is some help... At least it proves that the murderer went to a place with fine golden sand at some time before taking action tonight."
"This kind of sand has never been seen by me before. I guess even in the whole city of Chang'an, there are not many places with golden sand, right?"
Kong Feng frowned after listening to Lin Feng's words.
But after thinking for a long time, he didn't expect such sand to be anywhere.
"Zide, let me take a look at the golden sand." At this time, Sun Fujia's voice suddenly sounded.
When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget Sun Fuga from the Encyclopedia of the Tang Dynasty.
When it's time to show off his knowledge reserves, only Sun Fuga can do it.
He hurriedly handed the gold sand to Sun Fujia.
Sun Fuga twirled it with his fingertips for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "This kind of sand cannot be found near Chang'an City. I have been to Cangzhou and found very fine sand near the ocean there. Although the sand there is not as dark as these sands, it is nearly as fine."
"So it's no surprise that the sand should come from coastal areas. As for the color, I don't think natural sand has such a bright golden color. It should have been painted with golden paint."
Seeing that Sun Fujia seemed to be very knowledgeable about it, Lin Feng hurriedly asked: "Does Dr. Sun know of any places that use this kind of sand?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while and then said: "Places like wealthy families, wealthy businessmen and gentry, sometimes use these gold sands to show their special status... Anyway, ordinary people definitely don't have them, so the cost is not ordinary. What a person can bear.”
Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he listened to Sun Fujia's words, and he said, "Are there any officials at home?"
Sun Fuga said: "There may be some people, but there are definitely very few. After all, it is too flamboyant. It seems that they want to let everyone know that they are rich. In many cases, it is not a good thing for officials to have money."
Lin Feng understood what Sun Fujia meant and nodded.
Changsun Ping'an frowned and said: "If we follow Jinsha's clues, we can target the wealthy families and wealthy businessmen and gentry... But these people are not easily touched."
He looked at Lin Feng: "It would be easy to say if we had enough evidence, but now we lack the exact evidence, and the identity of the suspect has not been determined, so we cannot easily search their house."
Lin Feng naturally understood this.
“At least there’s scope,” he said.
As he spoke, he looked again at the pieces of clothing in his hands.
There was some dust on the pieces of clothing, but other than that, there was really nothing special about it.
There are no patterns on it to prove the identity of the owner, and the color is simply black.
Lin Feng thought for a while, then put the piece of clothing under his nose and smelled it gently.
At this time, Lin Feng's eyes moved.
He said: "Smell it, is there any smell on these clothes?"
"smell?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly took the pieces of clothes.
He smelled it, then frowned and said, "It smells like rouge."
Lin Feng corrected: "It should be said that the mixed smell of multiple rouges is definitely not the smell of one rouge."
"This……"
Changsun Pingan was stunned for a moment, then smelled it carefully again and said, "Indeed, there are at least three kinds of rouge smell."
County Lieutenant Kong Feng wondered: "Why is there so much rouge smell on the murderer's clothes? Is he a businessman selling rouge?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The merchants who sell rouge don't have so much fragrance on their bodies, right? It's not something that comes naturally because of the fragrance. It must have been in close contact with the rouge."
Kong Feng thought for a while, then nodded: "That's true... If the murderer is not a businessman selling rouge, how can he get the smell of rouge?"
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said, "What do you think... of the brothel?"
"Borthello!?"
When everyone heard Lin Feng's words, they were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened and they exclaimed.
Lin Feng looked at everyone's surprised expressions and said, "Don't believe it?"
He looked at Changsun Pingan and said: "Magistrate Changsun might as well smell it carefully. There is another smell on these pieces of clothing - that is wine!"
"liquor?"
Hearing this, Changsun Ping'an quickly smelled it again more carefully.
At first, his expression was relatively blank, but gradually, his brows furrowed and a look of surprise began to appear on his face.
After a while.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, saying: "It actually smells of wine... but the smell of wine is very weak, and the smell of rouge is relatively strong. If Lin Si was not reminding me, I might not have noticed the wine. smell."
Lin Feng said: "Wine is easy to evaporate, and the smell will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. We can still smell it now, but if it takes a while, even half an hour, the smell of the wine may completely disappear. ”
"Of course, this is not important. What is important is that this piece of clothing has a variety of rouges and strong wine..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Combining the fact that the murderer must have a place to hide himself before and after the murder, do you think there is any place more suitable than a chaotic brothel?"
"He only needs to choose a girl, then take the girl into the room, and then find a way to knock the girl out. After that, whatever he does, the girl will not notice, and the people in the brothel will not disturb him in the room. This means not only having a good hiding place, but also having an alibi witness.”
"And more importantly..."
Lin Feng glanced at their shocked faces one by one and said: "The place where brothels gather in Wanning County is Pingkangfang, and Pingkangfang is only three streets away from here... This distance is not too far. If you want to hide, It won’t be too difficult if you are traveling with people.”
Brush it!
After hearing Lin Feng give three reasons in one breath.
The eyes of everyone present widened suddenly.
At this moment, even Changsun Pingan, who had doubts at first, felt that what Lin Feng said was the truth!
After all, if one condition is met, it can be said to be a coincidence.
The two conditions can be considered a coincidence.
But all three conditions are met, and to say it's a coincidence would be disrespectful to one's own brain.
He stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes, and his breathing became hot at this moment.
"A brothel, yes, it must be a brothel!"
Changsun Pingan said excitedly: "The real murderer must be hiding in the brothel in Pingkangfang!"
Seeing Sun Ping'an being so excited, Kong Feng and other government officials felt their admiration for Lin Feng in their hearts.
They really never expected that the fifth person would be so cautious and cunning, when they were almost desperate.
Lin Feng was able to guess where the real murderer was hiding with just such a small piece of cloth!
Is Lin Feng really a human?
Is this the true skill of the detective?
Sun Fujia smiled and stroked his beard. Sure enough, he could always trust Lin Feng.
Changsun Pingan said: "Kong County Lieutenant, immediately take people to Pingkangfang and surround those brothels. We will search them one by one!"
When Kong Feng heard this, he was about to nod in agreement when he saw Lin Feng saying: "Don't worry, I will provide you with some ideas. Follow these ideas to find it, you will be more prepared and save time."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, you just said that gold sands are usually found in the homes of wealthy families... So, will there be gold sands in places like brothels that sometimes need to pay attention to pomp and circumstance?"
"This……"
Sun Fujia was startled at first, and then his pupils jumped suddenly. He clapped his hands and said, "It's very possible!"
"Pingkangfang is a place where brothels gather. If each brothel wants to stand out and take advantage, it must have something different from other brothels. From this look, paving the ground with gold sand to create a pomp... is very possible! "
After hearing this, Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan again and said with a smile: "Magistrate Changsun, Pingkangfang is under your jurisdiction. Do you have a way to confirm which brothel has gold sand in the shortest possible time?"
Changsun Pingan couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect Lin Feng to narrow the scope again in such a short period of time.
He nodded quickly: "This is not difficult."
"it is good!"
Lin Feng said: "The general area where the murderer is hiding can be determined."
"Next, let's talk about the murderer."
Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and Kong Feng couldn't help but ask, "Does Lin Sizheng know about the murderer?"
Lin Feng smiled; "At least we can deduce a few points."
"First, the murderer and Mr. Cao must have known each other."
"Know each other?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Think about the place where Cao Yuanwailang died. It was not at the door or where he was sitting. This means that after the murderer arrived, Cao Yuanwailang either opened the door or stood up to greet him."
"Tonight, Cao Yuanwailang only invited three people. In other words, the murderer came uninvited. In this case, when Cao Yuanwailang saw the murderer, he did not yell, but stood up to greet him. This is enough It proves that the murderer is an acquaintance of Cao Yuanwailang."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded quickly.
What Lin Feng said makes sense.
Having said this, Lin Feng looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Butler, do you know who your master is familiar with?"
The old housekeeper frowned and then shook his head: "I'm not sure, because apart from official duties, I rarely invite friends to the house."
Lin Feng was not surprised. He looked at the crowd and said, "Cao Yuanwailang is the kind of person who is clean-minded, selfless, and business-minded. In other words, it is difficult for him to make friends with people. Even if they are acquaintances, they can come to his house late at night. Almost all of them are colleagues.”
"Therefore, I believe that the real murderer is most likely an official. Only officials can interact with Cao Yuanwailang. It is difficult for people outside the officialdom to get acquainted with Cao Yuanwailang."
To put it simply, with Cao Gaoyang’s temperament, no one wants to communicate with him except on official business, and how can he still make friends?Give it a fuck!
Everyone also had a certain understanding of Cao Gaoyang. After hearing what the housekeeper and Lin Feng said, they thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
After all, even someone like Sun Fuga, who was good at communicating with others, only had a colleague relationship with Cao Gaoyang.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Then the first characteristic of the murderer is that he has official contacts with Cao Yuanwailang, a court official."
Changsun Pingan's eyes flashed; "This alone is enough to reduce the number of suspects a lot. There won't be too many officials staying in brothels overnight."
"Don't worry, Magistrate Changsun, just listen to what I have to say."
Lin Feng said: "After all, officials have special status, there is no need for us to offend them all."
"I have a few other points."
"What else?" Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of shock.
They didn't know any of them, but Lin Feng knew so much. Are they really investigating the same case as Lin Feng all the time?
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Secondly, this real murderer should have practiced martial arts. At least he should be a tall and very strong person! An ordinary physique cannot kill Cao Yuanwai Lang like that."
Changsun Pingan nodded repeatedly, and he also discovered this.
“Third, it’s our footprints.”
Lin Feng looked at the footprints under the tree and said, "Based on the length of the footprints, we can roughly estimate that the murderer is between seven feet and seven and a half feet tall."
Kong Feng's eyes widened: "Can you even guess your height?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not difficult. Human growth follows a regular pattern. The length of the footprints is also directly related to the height. It's just that there is only one footprint here. If it is a continuous footprint, the length of the footprints will be determined by the length and width of the steps. From the depth of the footprints, I can even infer the age, personality, weight, etc. of the person."
When Kong Feng listened to Lin Feng's words, he felt that Lin Feng was really like a god.
The more I watch Lin Feng solve the case, the more I admire Lin Feng.
Even the commander Sun Ping'an couldn't help but nodded, his eyes full of surprise.
"Is there any more?" Changsun Pingan couldn't help but ask.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng expectantly, and then saw Lin Feng nod and said: "The last point."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said something that surprised them: "The murderer should be injured."
"hurt?"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Sun Fujia was confused: "Injured? Is the murderer injured?"
Changsun Pingan and others couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know this from the beginning to the end.
Lin Feng said: "When I was examining the body of the deceased just now, I found that... the left hand of the deceased was half-clasped. It was obvious that he was holding something before death, but that thing has undoubtedly been taken away by the murderer."
Changsun Ping'an nodded hurriedly: "I also noticed it... but there is nothing missing in the room, and the murderer killed to frame Zhao Shiwu. He had such a short time, so he should leave quickly after the murder, and there is no need to take anything away. What are you taking away?"
"Magistrate Changsun is right."
Lin Feng said slowly: "The murderer did not need to take anything, and he did not come to kill people to silence him."
"But the fact is...he did take away something that the deceased was holding in his left hand."
Changsun Ping'an frowned: "What could that be?"
Lin Feng said: "Actually, at the beginning, my idea was to provide evidence of the crime of Qian Yuanwailang and the other three, but it turned out that they were not the ones who killed the person, and Cao Yuanwailang didn't take anything, which means it cannot be criminal evidence, no. It’ll be paper or something.”
"If it's not these, then what is it? What exactly is missing from the deceased?"
"Just when I was thinking hard, suddenly I thought of what the deceased looked like when he died, and I suddenly realized!"
"I know the deceased is indeed missing something!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly stepped forward, approached Lin Feng, and said, "What is it?"
Others were too nervous to take a breath.
Lin Feng didn't give in, and said directly: "Something to tie your hair...for example, a hairpin or something like that."
"hairpin!?"
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, think carefully. At the scene, was the deceased lying there with a huge wound on the back of his head? The wound stuck his hair together... But his hair was disheveled. Yes, not tied up at all?"
"This... seems to be true."
"It is indeed disheveled."
Everyone nodded quickly.
Lin Feng continued: "But with such a rigid temper, Yuanwai Lang Cao, how could he allow himself to wear his hair disheveled when meeting his colleagues? This is so different from his temperament."
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the housekeeper and said, "Old housekeeper, when you last saw your master, did he have disheveled hair?"
Without even thinking about it, the old housekeeper shook his head and said, "How is that possible? The master pays great attention to his image. Every time he meets outsiders, he will straighten his clothes in front of the bronze mirror."
"Look!"
Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan and others again: "The housekeeper has already said that the deceased paid great attention to appearance and would not have disheveled hair at all."
"So, where is the hairpin to tie his hair? There was none at the scene."
Changsun Pingan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he could not hide the shock on his face, saying: "As soon as we entered the scene, we were attracted by the bloody scene, and we really ignored this..."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "The deceased has an injury on the back of his head, and the blood and hair are stuck together. Compared with other things, this shocking scene will subconsciously make us think that this is the most important thing. Naturally, it is easy to ignore an inconspicuous hairpin. .”
Changsun Pingan nodded gratefully to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "It's just a small hairpin. It should be of no importance to the murderer. Why did he take it away specially?"
"Combined with the way the deceased's left hand was half-clasped...can we speculate like this..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "The deceased also tried to resist when the murderer controlled him and stabbed him with a knife, but his way of resisting was not to struggle, but to directly take off his own hairpin and stab the murderer with all his strength."
"Because the hairpin is sharp, it is easier to stab the murderer."
"Later after the deceased died, the hairpin was always held in his palm because the hairpin stabbed the murderer and was stained with blood. The murderer was afraid that if we learned about this incident, it might leave him with a flaw... After all, he He is also an official and will probably meet us tomorrow morning, so he opened the hand of the deceased and took away the inconspicuous hairpin."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone was completely stunned.
Reasonable!
Not only is it reasonable, it is even the only possibility!
In addition, they could not think of the second reason why the murderer would do such unnecessary things!
It seems that, as Lin Feng said, the murderer was injured...
They looked at Lin Feng blankly, no longer knowing how to express the unspeakable thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment, they only have one thought in their minds - how awesome!
Only these three vulgar words can perfectly describe their shock!
From knowing nothing about the murderer to now, the location is confirmed, the height is confirmed, the identity of the official is confirmed, the experience of practicing martial arts is confirmed, and the most important characteristic of being injured is confirmed...
How long did Lin Feng use it?
But it was obvious that they were investigating together with Lin Feng... No, they even investigated earlier than Lin Feng, but what was the result?no progress.
At this moment, they finally understood the weight of the words "Detective Lin Feng".
I have a fever at night, and it seems like I only have half a life left. I am really speechless. It has been almost a week and it has not improved much. Do you have any good medicines that you can recommend?
Tomorrow is a new month, and the monthly ticket will start again. Without further ado, I would like to ask for your monthly ticket support in the new month.
As long as you can still get up, there will be no shortage of updates every day!
(End of this chapter)
Listening to Lin Feng's words and looking at Lin Feng's luminous figure, everyone couldn't help but stir up huge waves in their hearts.
Especially the people in Wanning County.
How much they doubted Lin Feng at the beginning, how much they felt shocked and ashamed at this moment.
"The reasoning is exquisite and interconnected. Lin Sizheng is truly worthy of the title of a superb detective!"
"I actually doubted Lin Simasei just now! Now think about it, how could I have the courage to doubt the famous Lin Simasei!?"
"The main reason is that we are too impatient. Lin Sizheng failed to find anything in two operations, so we feel that Lin Sizheng's name is not worthy of his name. But think about ourselves... sometimes when we investigate a case, we fail not only twice, but also ten times. It’s normal.”
"Yes, yes, fortunately, Lin Sizheng was not affected by us at all, and he found evidence of the fifth person's existence in no time. Now that it's good, the direction of the case is suddenly clear."
"It turns out that Zhao Shiwu was really wronged!"
"Fortunately, Lin Sizheng came to investigate in person, otherwise we might really catch a good person by mistake."
The government officials couldn't help shaking their heads and whispering.
The deep eyes of the county magistrate Sun Pingan were flashing at this time. He kept looking at Lin Feng, as if he wanted to see through Lin Feng's whole body, up and down, inside and out.
However, Lin Feng calmly welcomed his inquiry and did not dodge his gaze. This made Changsun Ping'an let out a long breath, and then he cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Lin Sizheng, I want to apologize for my doubts about you just now. The tone of his words was a bit inappropriate, I hope Lin Si Zheng can forgive me."
When Sun Fujia saw this scene, his grin reached to his ears.
He just felt very happy in his heart.
Think about when Lin Feng first arrived here, he was suspected and tested, but he could only investigate as if nothing happened.
But now, Lin Feng has proven himself with actual abilities and has won everyone's recognition and admiration.
No one doubted him or ignored him anymore. On the contrary, even the arrogant eldest grandson Ping An had to put on such a sincere attitude.
Comparing the difference between the front and back is irresistible.
However, Lin Feng did not feel complacent. Seeing Changsun Ping'an express his apology, he also smiled softly, cupped his hands and said: "There is no need for Magistrate Changsun to be like this. I understand the difficulties faced by Magistrate Changsun. If the place is changed, I will probably be happy." It may not be as good as Magistrate Changsun."
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Ping'an grinned directly on his seemingly honest face. He smiled and said: "Lin Sizheng's words are heart-warming. No matter what Lin Sizheng thinks of me, I like Lin Sizheng very much anyway. If in the future If we can become friends, that would be even better.”
Lin Feng laughed: "It is an honor for me to be friends with Magistrate Changsun."
Even though Changsun Ping'an knew that Lin Feng's words were a polite response, he still felt very grateful.
After all, Lin Feng was different from others. In his heart, ten thousand flattery words from County Lieutenant Kong Feng were not as good as one kind word from Lin Feng.
"Ah!"
Kong Feng, who was sitting on the wall with the night wind blowing, suddenly sneezed. He closed his sleeves in confusion, fearing that he would be infected by the cold.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said to Kong Feng: "Kong County Lieutenant will check the wall carefully again to see if there are any other clues. If not, come back first."
When Kong Feng heard this, he nodded obediently.
That obedient look was completely different from before.
Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan at this time and said: "Magistrate Changsun, can you be sure that Zhao Shiwu is not suspected?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Ping'an touched his nose in embarrassment and nodded: "Zhao Fifteen left through the door and had no chance to climb over the wall. Naturally, he is no longer suspected."
Zhao Shiwu was finally cleared of suspicion... The biggest stone in Lin Feng's heart fell.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something.
He suddenly looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, do you know Zhao Shiwu's deeds before he became a jailer?"
"This……"
Sun Fujia did not expect that Lin Feng would suddenly bring up this topic.
He shook his head: "I really don't know, after all, he was just an ordinary jailer before."
"However, before anyone joins the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice will conduct a detailed investigation on him. If you want to know about his previous affairs, I will immediately send someone to the Ministry of Justice to search, and they should be able to find it."
Lin Feng nodded directly: "Okay, then Dr. Lao Sun will be here."
Sun Fujia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite to me?"
With that said, he turned around and ordered the yamen servant to go to the yamen of the Criminal Department.
After doing this, Sun Fujia returned to Lin Feng. He looked at Lin Feng curiously and said, "But Zide... why do you suddenly want to know about Zhao Shiwu's past? He has been following you for so long, and he has no idea." I saw you asked about this."
Lin Feng looked at the living room with the door open, looked at the candlelight projected, and said slowly: "Everyone has their own secrets, and everyone has a past that they don't want to talk to others... I only care about Zhao Shi now." Fifth, whatever he thinks is enough. As for his past, if he wants to tell me, he can tell me at any time. If he doesn’t want to tell me, I won’t break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.”
Sun Fuga nodded.
This is what distinguishes Lin Feng from others.
He is obviously very smart and can easily detect all the secrets of other people, but he uses this ability very restrainedly, making others feel very comfortable and comfortable in front of Lin Feng.
"What about this time?" Sun Fujia asked.
Lin Feng pursed his lips and said: "There is no other way this time, and this is also a reminder from Zhao Shiwu to me."
"what?"
Sun Fuga was startled: "Zhao Shiwu's reminder?"
Changsun Pingan was also listening attentively. When he heard this, he couldn't help but secretly leaned toward Lin Feng and put his ear closer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at Changsun Pingan from the corner of his eye, and did not care that his words were overheard by Changsun Pingan. This was not a secret that could not be told to others.
He said: "Now what happened in Cao's house is actually very clear. Before Zhao Fifteen arrived, Cao Yuanwailang had been brutally murdered by the murderer."
"So when Zhao Shiwu arrived here, what he saw was the body of Cao Yuanwailang."
With that said, he looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, you also know Zhao Shiwu. With Zhao Shiwu's temperament, what do you think his first thought would be when he found Cao Yuanwailang lying in a pool of blood?"
"Report the crime!" Sun Fuga said without thinking.
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, Zhao Shishi would never ignore it when he saw an official being killed, but he did not report the case and left in a hurry without even having time to tell the old housekeeper."
"Why is that?"
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "Unless there is something more important than this, he won't have time to delay."
Lin Feng nodded: "What could it be?"
Sun Fujia shook his head, he had no clue.
Changsun Ping'an also looked thoughtful at the side, but he didn't understand Zhao Shiwu, and he didn't have any opinions.
Lin Feng did not give in and said directly: "I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter, Zhao Shiwu has already given us a hint."
"Although Zhao Shishi has a simple and honest temper and his head is not that crooked, when he was led here and came to see Cao Yuanwailang alone, he found Cao Yuanwailang lying in a pool of blood, and his body temperature was not even cold... Zhao Shiwu should also know that he has been framed, and this is obviously a trick to frame him."
"So it's impossible for him not to know that when he left in a hurry without reporting the case or telling the old housekeeper about the murder of Yuan Wai Lang Cao, he would definitely become the biggest suspect... and the government would definitely come to arrest him. This officer’s residence!”
"That is to say..."
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said slowly: "Zhao Shiwu must know that I will know about this case! And for his sake, I will come to investigate in person."
Sun Fujia nodded repeatedly.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Shiwu, Zhao Shiwu could still think of these reasonable things.
"That's the problem."
Lin Feng said: "Since Zhao Fifteen knows that this officer will personally investigate the case, he must also hope that this officer will help him clear his suspicions. He also knows how worried this officer will be about him. With his temperament, he is both emotional and rational. , he should leave some clues for me! Even if he temporarily carves two words on the table with a knife, it is not too difficult for him. "
"But he didn't do this. He didn't leave any words or clues to me. Why?"
Sun Fujia frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of what Lin Feng asked him to do, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
He hurriedly asked: "Could it be that...he didn't stay on purpose, because not leaving behind also represents a clue?"
"The one who knows me is Dr. Sun!"
Lin Feng nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Zhao Shishi should have left clues, but he didn't, which means another meaning. He thought that he didn't need to leave clues, so that I could know what happened to him. What happened?"
"That means that I should know what happened to him... In addition, he is going to pay homage to his friend today, so if nothing unexpected happens, what he encounters is probably related to the person he is going to pay homage to. It’s about friends.”
"That's why I want to know more about his past. As long as I can find out who the friend he paid tribute to today is and follow the clues, maybe the secret of what happened to Zhao Shiwu will be revealed."
Sun Fujia's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "This idea is very reasonable, and I think that's it."
"How about I arrange a few more people to urge them to speed up?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "This cannot be speeded up by having more people. Let them go to the Criminal Department to find it first... Moreover, of course, we must understand Zhao Shiwu's matter clearly..."
"But the real culprit of this person who dares to scheme against me..." Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a chill flashed in his eyes, and said calmly: "We have to catch him too!"
In his previous life, Lin Feng was famous for protecting his shortcomings.
In this life, Zhao Shiwu was the first person Lin Feng saw after traveling through time. It was Zhao Shiwu who saved him, so Lin Feng had the deepest feelings for Zhao Shiwu.
If these guys from the Four Elephants Organization dare to scheme against Zhao Shiwu, Lin Feng will never give up.
Clearing Zhao Shiwu's suspicion is only the first step.
What he really wants to do is to find out the real culprit and let the Four Elephants Organization steal the chicken but lose the rice!
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Changsun Pingan quickly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Si Zheng, do you have a way to find the real murderer?"
After knowing that the real culprit was the mysterious fifth person, Changsun Pingan was actually ready to extend the front line of this case.
In his view, this was by no means a case that could be solved overnight.
After all, the identity of the fifth person is unknown. No one has seen him, and there is no evidence pointing to him. To catch him, the difficulty is no different from climbing to the sky.
How to find the real culprit when there are no witnesses, no physical evidence, nothing at all?
But hearing what Lin Feng meant, Lin Feng didn't seem to give up yet.
"I can infer some information about the real murderer, but it's not enough."
Lin Feng frowned slightly and said: "These situations are still too general to determine the real culprit. It would be great if there are other new clues."
Changsun Ping'an sighed: "Being able to find these blood stains and knowing the existence of the fifth person is already an unexpected gain. Where are there any new clues?"
"The cunning of this real murderer is beyond imagination, and his calculations against Zhao Fifteen were even more extreme. Lin Sizheng, you are here, otherwise I would have identified the murderer as Zhao Fifteen."
Sun Fujia also sighed and nodded.
In terms of complexity, this case is incomparable to cases such as the Zhao Deshun case. It is not as tortuous and complicated.
But the difficulty is that the real murderer is probably a professional killer that no one knows.
The killer ran away after killing everyone.
There was no apparent motive, and no one had ever seen him.
How to find it?
This can no longer be inferred using logical reasoning.
Lin Feng naturally understood the difficulty of the case, but he also knew that this was not something that an ordinary killer could do.
You can still reason.
It's just that he needs more clues.
Lin Feng looked towards the living room and said, "Let's go to the crime scene to investigate. Maybe we can find some new clues."
With that said, he was about to leave.
But at this moment, Kong Feng's voice suddenly stopped Lin Feng.
"Huh? What is this... a piece of clothing?"
"Why are there pieces of clothing here?"
Scraps of clothing?
Hearing Kong Feng's voice, Lin Feng's feet suddenly stopped.
He turned his head sharply, raised his head and looked at Kong Feng who was lying on the tree, and said, "What pieces of clothing?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was so concerned, everyone also looked at Kong Feng.
Kong Feng did not dare to delay and said quickly: "A piece of black clothes was caught on a sharp tree branch, but I don't know if it is related to the real murderer."
"Black pieces of clothing..."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he said: "The murderer wants to hide himself well, so the color of his clothes must match the dark night. It will most likely be black clothes."
"And no one else will climb this tree except him...so, it definitely belongs to him!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Changsun Ping'an's eyes lit up and he said: "What an unexpected surprise, I didn't expect that there are really new clues!"
"Lieutenant Kong County, take it down quickly...and check the tree again to see if there is anything else."
Kong Feng nodded quickly.
He first took a lantern and looked at it carefully to make sure that there were no clues in the tree. Then without further delay, he quickly took off the black piece of clothing and got down from the tree.
When he arrived under the tree, he stretched out his hands, holding the piece of clothing in his palms, and said, "This is the piece."
Lin Feng and others looked around.
I saw that it was a piece of clothing that was only two inches in size. There were obvious signs of tearing on the piece.
But other than that, there was nothing special about the scraps of clothing.
Changsun Pingan picked up the pieces of clothing, inspected them carefully, and said, "The quality of the cloth is acceptable. It seems that the real murderer's living standard is not bad."
Lin Feng nodded: "His clothes are stained with blood, and it will definitely not be washed out, so if nothing else happens, he will probably discard them and destroy them."
"And the clothes that can be discarded at will are of high quality. He is indeed from a wealthy family."
Changsun Pingan nodded quickly. He only guessed the murderer's wealth based on the clothes and cloth itself, but Lin Feng analyzed it from a more detailed perspective, and the result was undoubtedly more accurate and trustworthy than his own.
This made him sigh. From this incident, he could see that there was indeed some gap between himself and Lin Feng.
"But other than that, there's nothing special about these clothes."
Changsun Pingan observed carefully for a long time, frowned and shook his head: "It seems that it still doesn't work."
"If the murderer is wearing this dress, then we really can't go door-to-door to search, maybe we still have a chance... But the murderer is so cunning and cunning, there is no way he can leave such a big flaw for himself, so he either throws away the dress or Destroyed or hidden, even if he stood in front of us, we would not be able to detect him based on this piece of cloth."
He looked at Lin Feng with a sigh and said, "Lin Sizheng, it seems that there is still a long way to go to find the real murderer."
Lin Feng stared at the piece of cloth and said, "Magistrate Changsun, can you let me take a closer look at this piece of cloth?"
Changsun Pingan nodded quickly: "Of course."
With that said, he handed the pieces of clothing to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the pieces of clothes and was about to gently twist them when suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
"This is?"
He suddenly discovered that there was something golden on his fingertips.
It looks like very fine sand.
"Gold Sands?"
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Where did the golden sand come from?"
He took a closer look at the pieces of clothing. There was no gold sand attached to the pieces of clothing. Where did that come from?
Lin Feng thought for a while, and suddenly, he remembered something.
I just touched something.
He lowered his head suddenly and looked at the footprints under the tree again.
I was here just now. In order to verify how the murderer left the footprints, I put my finger into the footprints to measure the depth.
Could it be that...the golden sand got stuck in the footprints?
He said, "Lantern!"
Kong Feng quickly handed the lantern to Lin Feng.
Then Lin Feng squatted down, put the lantern close to the footprints, and then carefully observed the situation in the footprints.
At this time, Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "As expected."
Seeing Lin Feng's strange behavior without warning, Changsun Pingan couldn't help but said, "Lin Si Zheng, is there anything wrong with these footprints?"
"Magistrate Changsun, please take a look."
Lin Feng pointed to the footprints and said, "In the innermost part of the footprints, there is a little golden sand."
"Golden sand?"
Hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly moved his head closer. After taking a closer look this time, he unexpectedly said: "It really does exist."
"I didn't notice it just now."
Lin Feng said: "Because there are not many golden sands and the light is not good late at night, it is really easy to ignore..."
As he spoke, he picked up the lantern and shined it elsewhere.
After searching for a long time, he said: "There is no golden sand anywhere else, only here."
Changsun Pingan only felt a toothache. Seeing that Lin Feng cared so much about Jinsha, he really wanted to know what it meant. However, as the magistrate of Wanning County, he couldn't keep asking, which made him seem ignorant.
After thinking for a long time, he could only give Kong Feng a look and let Kong Feng act like an ignorant person.
Kong Feng's eyelids twitched and he said bravely: "Lin Sizheng, does this mean anything?" Changsun Pingan quickly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "It is not found elsewhere, only in this footprint, which means that only a small amount of these gold sands should be embedded in the gaps in the soles of the murderer's shoes. When the murderer jumped down from the tree, it was shaken The force was relatively strong, and the golden sand was shaken out."
Kong Feng thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "Lin Si is so awesome, why didn't I think of it at the beginning."
"Then what? Will this help us find the real murderer?"
Lin Feng said: "There is some help... At least it proves that the murderer went to a place with fine golden sand at some time before taking action tonight."
"This kind of sand has never been seen by me before. I guess even in the whole city of Chang'an, there are not many places with golden sand, right?"
Kong Feng frowned after listening to Lin Feng's words.
But after thinking for a long time, he didn't expect such sand to be anywhere.
"Zide, let me take a look at the golden sand." At this time, Sun Fujia's voice suddenly sounded.
When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget Sun Fuga from the Encyclopedia of the Tang Dynasty.
When it's time to show off his knowledge reserves, only Sun Fuga can do it.
He hurriedly handed the gold sand to Sun Fujia.
Sun Fuga twirled it with his fingertips for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "This kind of sand cannot be found near Chang'an City. I have been to Cangzhou and found very fine sand near the ocean there. Although the sand there is not as dark as these sands, it is nearly as fine."
"So it's no surprise that the sand should come from coastal areas. As for the color, I don't think natural sand has such a bright golden color. It should have been painted with golden paint."
Seeing that Sun Fujia seemed to be very knowledgeable about it, Lin Feng hurriedly asked: "Does Dr. Sun know of any places that use this kind of sand?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while and then said: "Places like wealthy families, wealthy businessmen and gentry, sometimes use these gold sands to show their special status... Anyway, ordinary people definitely don't have them, so the cost is not ordinary. What a person can bear.”
Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he listened to Sun Fujia's words, and he said, "Are there any officials at home?"
Sun Fuga said: "There may be some people, but there are definitely very few. After all, it is too flamboyant. It seems that they want to let everyone know that they are rich. In many cases, it is not a good thing for officials to have money."
Lin Feng understood what Sun Fujia meant and nodded.
Changsun Ping'an frowned and said: "If we follow Jinsha's clues, we can target the wealthy families and wealthy businessmen and gentry... But these people are not easily touched."
He looked at Lin Feng: "It would be easy to say if we had enough evidence, but now we lack the exact evidence, and the identity of the suspect has not been determined, so we cannot easily search their house."
Lin Feng naturally understood this.
“At least there’s scope,” he said.
As he spoke, he looked again at the pieces of clothing in his hands.
There was some dust on the pieces of clothing, but other than that, there was really nothing special about it.
There are no patterns on it to prove the identity of the owner, and the color is simply black.
Lin Feng thought for a while, then put the piece of clothing under his nose and smelled it gently.
At this time, Lin Feng's eyes moved.
He said: "Smell it, is there any smell on these clothes?"
"smell?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly took the pieces of clothes.
He smelled it, then frowned and said, "It smells like rouge."
Lin Feng corrected: "It should be said that the mixed smell of multiple rouges is definitely not the smell of one rouge."
"This……"
Changsun Pingan was stunned for a moment, then smelled it carefully again and said, "Indeed, there are at least three kinds of rouge smell."
County Lieutenant Kong Feng wondered: "Why is there so much rouge smell on the murderer's clothes? Is he a businessman selling rouge?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "The merchants who sell rouge don't have so much fragrance on their bodies, right? It's not something that comes naturally because of the fragrance. It must have been in close contact with the rouge."
Kong Feng thought for a while, then nodded: "That's true... If the murderer is not a businessman selling rouge, how can he get the smell of rouge?"
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said, "What do you think... of the brothel?"
"Borthello!?"
When everyone heard Lin Feng's words, they were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened and they exclaimed.
Lin Feng looked at everyone's surprised expressions and said, "Don't believe it?"
He looked at Changsun Pingan and said: "Magistrate Changsun might as well smell it carefully. There is another smell on these pieces of clothing - that is wine!"
"liquor?"
Hearing this, Changsun Ping'an quickly smelled it again more carefully.
At first, his expression was relatively blank, but gradually, his brows furrowed and a look of surprise began to appear on his face.
After a while.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, saying: "It actually smells of wine... but the smell of wine is very weak, and the smell of rouge is relatively strong. If Lin Si was not reminding me, I might not have noticed the wine. smell."
Lin Feng said: "Wine is easy to evaporate, and the smell will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. We can still smell it now, but if it takes a while, even half an hour, the smell of the wine may completely disappear. ”
"Of course, this is not important. What is important is that this piece of clothing has a variety of rouges and strong wine..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Combining the fact that the murderer must have a place to hide himself before and after the murder, do you think there is any place more suitable than a chaotic brothel?"
"He only needs to choose a girl, then take the girl into the room, and then find a way to knock the girl out. After that, whatever he does, the girl will not notice, and the people in the brothel will not disturb him in the room. This means not only having a good hiding place, but also having an alibi witness.”
"And more importantly..."
Lin Feng glanced at their shocked faces one by one and said: "The place where brothels gather in Wanning County is Pingkangfang, and Pingkangfang is only three streets away from here... This distance is not too far. If you want to hide, It won’t be too difficult if you are traveling with people.”
Brush it!
After hearing Lin Feng give three reasons in one breath.
The eyes of everyone present widened suddenly.
At this moment, even Changsun Pingan, who had doubts at first, felt that what Lin Feng said was the truth!
After all, if one condition is met, it can be said to be a coincidence.
The two conditions can be considered a coincidence.
But all three conditions are met, and to say it's a coincidence would be disrespectful to one's own brain.
He stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes, and his breathing became hot at this moment.
"A brothel, yes, it must be a brothel!"
Changsun Pingan said excitedly: "The real murderer must be hiding in the brothel in Pingkangfang!"
Seeing Sun Ping'an being so excited, Kong Feng and other government officials felt their admiration for Lin Feng in their hearts.
They really never expected that the fifth person would be so cautious and cunning, when they were almost desperate.
Lin Feng was able to guess where the real murderer was hiding with just such a small piece of cloth!
Is Lin Feng really a human?
Is this the true skill of the detective?
Sun Fujia smiled and stroked his beard. Sure enough, he could always trust Lin Feng.
Changsun Pingan said: "Kong County Lieutenant, immediately take people to Pingkangfang and surround those brothels. We will search them one by one!"
When Kong Feng heard this, he was about to nod in agreement when he saw Lin Feng saying: "Don't worry, I will provide you with some ideas. Follow these ideas to find it, you will be more prepared and save time."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Dr. Sun, you just said that gold sands are usually found in the homes of wealthy families... So, will there be gold sands in places like brothels that sometimes need to pay attention to pomp and circumstance?"
"This……"
Sun Fujia was startled at first, and then his pupils jumped suddenly. He clapped his hands and said, "It's very possible!"
"Pingkangfang is a place where brothels gather. If each brothel wants to stand out and take advantage, it must have something different from other brothels. From this look, paving the ground with gold sand to create a pomp... is very possible! "
After hearing this, Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan again and said with a smile: "Magistrate Changsun, Pingkangfang is under your jurisdiction. Do you have a way to confirm which brothel has gold sand in the shortest possible time?"
Changsun Pingan couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect Lin Feng to narrow the scope again in such a short period of time.
He nodded quickly: "This is not difficult."
"it is good!"
Lin Feng said: "The general area where the murderer is hiding can be determined."
"Next, let's talk about the murderer."
Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and Kong Feng couldn't help but ask, "Does Lin Sizheng know about the murderer?"
Lin Feng smiled; "At least we can deduce a few points."
"First, the murderer and Mr. Cao must have known each other."
"Know each other?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Think about the place where Cao Yuanwailang died. It was not at the door or where he was sitting. This means that after the murderer arrived, Cao Yuanwailang either opened the door or stood up to greet him."
"Tonight, Cao Yuanwailang only invited three people. In other words, the murderer came uninvited. In this case, when Cao Yuanwailang saw the murderer, he did not yell, but stood up to greet him. This is enough It proves that the murderer is an acquaintance of Cao Yuanwailang."
Everyone thought for a while and then nodded quickly.
What Lin Feng said makes sense.
Having said this, Lin Feng looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Butler, do you know who your master is familiar with?"
The old housekeeper frowned and then shook his head: "I'm not sure, because apart from official duties, I rarely invite friends to the house."
Lin Feng was not surprised. He looked at the crowd and said, "Cao Yuanwailang is the kind of person who is clean-minded, selfless, and business-minded. In other words, it is difficult for him to make friends with people. Even if they are acquaintances, they can come to his house late at night. Almost all of them are colleagues.”
"Therefore, I believe that the real murderer is most likely an official. Only officials can interact with Cao Yuanwailang. It is difficult for people outside the officialdom to get acquainted with Cao Yuanwailang."
To put it simply, with Cao Gaoyang’s temperament, no one wants to communicate with him except on official business, and how can he still make friends?Give it a fuck!
Everyone also had a certain understanding of Cao Gaoyang. After hearing what the housekeeper and Lin Feng said, they thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
After all, even someone like Sun Fuga, who was good at communicating with others, only had a colleague relationship with Cao Gaoyang.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Then the first characteristic of the murderer is that he has official contacts with Cao Yuanwailang, a court official."
Changsun Pingan's eyes flashed; "This alone is enough to reduce the number of suspects a lot. There won't be too many officials staying in brothels overnight."
"Don't worry, Magistrate Changsun, just listen to what I have to say."
Lin Feng said: "After all, officials have special status, there is no need for us to offend them all."
"I have a few other points."
"What else?" Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of shock.
They didn't know any of them, but Lin Feng knew so much. Are they really investigating the same case as Lin Feng all the time?
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Secondly, this real murderer should have practiced martial arts. At least he should be a tall and very strong person! An ordinary physique cannot kill Cao Yuanwai Lang like that."
Changsun Pingan nodded repeatedly, and he also discovered this.
“Third, it’s our footprints.”
Lin Feng looked at the footprints under the tree and said, "Based on the length of the footprints, we can roughly estimate that the murderer is between seven feet and seven and a half feet tall."
Kong Feng's eyes widened: "Can you even guess your height?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not difficult. Human growth follows a regular pattern. The length of the footprints is also directly related to the height. It's just that there is only one footprint here. If it is a continuous footprint, the length of the footprints will be determined by the length and width of the steps. From the depth of the footprints, I can even infer the age, personality, weight, etc. of the person."
When Kong Feng listened to Lin Feng's words, he felt that Lin Feng was really like a god.
The more I watch Lin Feng solve the case, the more I admire Lin Feng.
Even the commander Sun Ping'an couldn't help but nodded, his eyes full of surprise.
"Is there any more?" Changsun Pingan couldn't help but ask.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng expectantly, and then saw Lin Feng nod and said: "The last point."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said something that surprised them: "The murderer should be injured."
"hurt?"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Sun Fujia was confused: "Injured? Is the murderer injured?"
Changsun Pingan and others couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know this from the beginning to the end.
Lin Feng said: "When I was examining the body of the deceased just now, I found that... the left hand of the deceased was half-clasped. It was obvious that he was holding something before death, but that thing has undoubtedly been taken away by the murderer."
Changsun Ping'an nodded hurriedly: "I also noticed it... but there is nothing missing in the room, and the murderer killed to frame Zhao Shiwu. He had such a short time, so he should leave quickly after the murder, and there is no need to take anything away. What are you taking away?"
"Magistrate Changsun is right."
Lin Feng said slowly: "The murderer did not need to take anything, and he did not come to kill people to silence him."
"But the fact is...he did take away something that the deceased was holding in his left hand."
Changsun Ping'an frowned: "What could that be?"
Lin Feng said: "Actually, at the beginning, my idea was to provide evidence of the crime of Qian Yuanwailang and the other three, but it turned out that they were not the ones who killed the person, and Cao Yuanwailang didn't take anything, which means it cannot be criminal evidence, no. It’ll be paper or something.”
"If it's not these, then what is it? What exactly is missing from the deceased?"
"Just when I was thinking hard, suddenly I thought of what the deceased looked like when he died, and I suddenly realized!"
"I know the deceased is indeed missing something!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Pingan quickly stepped forward, approached Lin Feng, and said, "What is it?"
Others were too nervous to take a breath.
Lin Feng didn't give in, and said directly: "Something to tie your hair...for example, a hairpin or something like that."
"hairpin!?"
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, think carefully. At the scene, was the deceased lying there with a huge wound on the back of his head? The wound stuck his hair together... But his hair was disheveled. Yes, not tied up at all?"
"This... seems to be true."
"It is indeed disheveled."
Everyone nodded quickly.
Lin Feng continued: "But with such a rigid temper, Yuanwai Lang Cao, how could he allow himself to wear his hair disheveled when meeting his colleagues? This is so different from his temperament."
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the housekeeper and said, "Old housekeeper, when you last saw your master, did he have disheveled hair?"
Without even thinking about it, the old housekeeper shook his head and said, "How is that possible? The master pays great attention to his image. Every time he meets outsiders, he will straighten his clothes in front of the bronze mirror."
"Look!"
Lin Feng looked at Changsun Pingan and others again: "The housekeeper has already said that the deceased paid great attention to appearance and would not have disheveled hair at all."
"So, where is the hairpin to tie his hair? There was none at the scene."
Changsun Pingan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he could not hide the shock on his face, saying: "As soon as we entered the scene, we were attracted by the bloody scene, and we really ignored this..."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "The deceased has an injury on the back of his head, and the blood and hair are stuck together. Compared with other things, this shocking scene will subconsciously make us think that this is the most important thing. Naturally, it is easy to ignore an inconspicuous hairpin. .”
Changsun Pingan nodded gratefully to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "It's just a small hairpin. It should be of no importance to the murderer. Why did he take it away specially?"
"Combined with the way the deceased's left hand was half-clasped...can we speculate like this..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "The deceased also tried to resist when the murderer controlled him and stabbed him with a knife, but his way of resisting was not to struggle, but to directly take off his own hairpin and stab the murderer with all his strength."
"Because the hairpin is sharp, it is easier to stab the murderer."
"Later after the deceased died, the hairpin was always held in his palm because the hairpin stabbed the murderer and was stained with blood. The murderer was afraid that if we learned about this incident, it might leave him with a flaw... After all, he He is also an official and will probably meet us tomorrow morning, so he opened the hand of the deceased and took away the inconspicuous hairpin."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone was completely stunned.
Reasonable!
Not only is it reasonable, it is even the only possibility!
In addition, they could not think of the second reason why the murderer would do such unnecessary things!
It seems that, as Lin Feng said, the murderer was injured...
They looked at Lin Feng blankly, no longer knowing how to express the unspeakable thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment, they only have one thought in their minds - how awesome!
Only these three vulgar words can perfectly describe their shock!
From knowing nothing about the murderer to now, the location is confirmed, the height is confirmed, the identity of the official is confirmed, the experience of practicing martial arts is confirmed, and the most important characteristic of being injured is confirmed...
How long did Lin Feng use it?
But it was obvious that they were investigating together with Lin Feng... No, they even investigated earlier than Lin Feng, but what was the result?no progress.
At this moment, they finally understood the weight of the words "Detective Lin Feng".
I have a fever at night, and it seems like I only have half a life left. I am really speechless. It has been almost a week and it has not improved much. Do you have any good medicines that you can recommend?
Tomorrow is a new month, and the monthly ticket will start again. Without further ado, I would like to ask for your monthly ticket support in the new month.
As long as you can still get up, there will be no shortage of updates every day!
