People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 173 Breakthrough! There must be a way to find out the real culprit!

"The real owner was turned into a stand-in by the substitute who was originally used as a stand-in. The purpose is still to deceive the real owner... What kind of tongue-twisting development is this?"

Lin Feng really felt that his guess was too ridiculous and dramatic, but after thinking about it carefully, this possibility was not completely impossible.

Although Dai Zhou conducted a detailed investigation into the background of the Yamen servant and determined that there was nothing wrong with the Yamen servant, what if... this Yamen servant is no longer the original Yamen servant?

Since he and Lin Feng, the former Prime Minister of Dali Temple, have similar looks and can be replaced by each other, why can't Lin Feng, the former Prime Minister of Dali Temple, be replaced with the Yamen? After all...this is what that guy has been doing for the past six years, and it is considered his old profession.

After Lin Feng, the former prime minister of Dali Temple, faked his death and escaped, Lin Feng had been wondering where that guy would be hiding.

Chang'an City is currently the center of the storm, and his old slave once appeared in Puguang Temple, which made Lin Feng think that guy must still be hiding in Chang'an City.

In this era, there is no Internet and no news media. If you want to know the corresponding information, you must have a channel... What else is more suitable than a small government official in Chang'an County?

As one of the two counties in Chang'an City, Chang'an County has access to a lot of information every day. Although it cannot access high-level information from the imperial court, it is enough to access information from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, which mainly investigate the Four Symbols organization, and understand their trends. , after all, the Chang'an County government often cooperates with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment on official matters.

At this time, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that the last time he went to Puguang Temple to help Chang'an County Magistrate Zhou Helin investigate a case, would this guy be hiding in a corner and watching him coldly?

And a small government servant is too ordinary, too ordinary, and will not attract too much attention, so he is most suitable for hiding his identity.

So, what else could be more suitable for him than a position like a Chang'an County government official?

Even...Lin Feng was thinking about whether there would be such a government servant who looked similar to him in the Chang'an County government office, and whether that guy was responsible for it.

After all, after he came to Dali Temple, he must have thought that he would fake his own death and escape in the future, and it was impossible for him to be unprepared for what would happen after he faked his own death and escaped.

"If it is really him, he is really far-sighted..."

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more frightened he became, but the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. What he feared most in his life was wasting his time in mediocrity without ups and downs.

This kind of enemy can ignite his blood. Only by playing games with him can his adrenaline surge and his potential be stimulated to a greater extent.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his complicated thoughts.

Regardless of whether that guy is Lin Feng, the former Prime Minister of Dali Temple, one thing is certain - there is definitely something wrong with his substitute.

In other words, his plan to hide his identity is useless.

In this case, there is no need to continue hiding.

That's fine. Hiding his identity will limit his efforts after all. Now his time is the most precious. It will be more efficient to investigate the case openly and mobilize all available forces.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng opened the door directly, walked out of the toilet, and said: "Mr. Lai Guo, come out, you don't have to endure the irritating smell anymore."

When Du Gou heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "It has been exposed, what else can I hide... For me now, being with you and having someone to protect you is the safest thing."

Seeing Lin Feng say this, Du Gou no longer tolerated the smell of the toilet, and directly opened the door and walked out.

Breathing the fresh air, Du Gou felt like he was alive again.

But when he saw the wrinkled Lin Feng in front of him, he was startled: "Lin Si Zheng, you?"

Lin Feng smiled: "It's a small way to hide your identity, but it's useless now."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the wine shop, saying, "I have something to trouble Duke Lai Guo."

When Du Gou heard this, he said without hesitation: "What's the matter?"

Lin Feng looked at Du Gou and said seriously: "I want Duke Lai Guo to help me deliver a letter to Duke Xiao."

"Deliver a message?"

Seeing Lin Feng's seriousness, Du Gou thought it was a big deal. When he saw that it was just a small matter of sending a letter, he immediately said: "It's simple."

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It may not be simple. I want Duke Lai to deliver the letter to Duke Xiao as quickly as possible...and during this period, I don't rule out that someone may find a way to intercept the letter."

When Du Gou heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his calm and calm face.

His eyes met Lin Feng's. Looking at Lin Feng's serious expression, he was slightly shocked and said, "You mean... the Four Elephants Organization will intercept your letter?"

As expected of Du Ruhui's son, he has a quick mind and doesn't need to explain himself too much.

Lin Feng liked to communicate with such smart people. He nodded: "That's right."

Du Gou pondered for a moment and frowned slightly. Soon, he raised his head and asked: "If your letter is intercepted by the Four Elephants organization, are you afraid that they will see the contents of the letter?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "That's what they know. I just want to tell Mr. Xiao and them."

When Du Gou saw this, he immediately said: "Give me three identical letters, and I will send them to you through the three channels I have at my disposal. One is officially official, and the other two are my own." Not many people know about the channels.”

Hearing this, Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Duke Lai, you have helped me a lot."

Du Gou waved his hand and said: "For you to come to Cizhou in person because of my letter, your friendship with me is no worse than that of a real brother. What I have done is nothing compared to you traveling thousands of miles away to come here." What?"

He has a gentle temperament, and he belongs to the type of a modest gentleman who is as gentle as jade, but he is very decisive and decisive in doing things. He never hesitates. After making a decision, he pursues efficiency and says: "Where is your letter?"

Lin Feng was not a Moji person, he said: "Wait a moment."

With that said, he quickly came to the counter of the wine shop, looked at the shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter and was writing down accounts, took out some copper plates from his arms, put them on the counter, and said, "Shopkeeper, can I borrow a pen and paper?"

The shopkeeper was slightly startled after listening to Lin Feng's words. He had never seen a person come to a wine shop without drinking and eating, but instead borrowed pen and paper. However, after seeing the copper plate Lin Feng placed in front of him, his chubby eyes suddenly narrowed happily. It has become a gap. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it before. If you have money to clear the way, you will become a person you haven’t seen before.

"Of course."

The shopkeeper quickly pulled out some paper and placed it in front of Lin Feng. He dipped Lin Feng's ink attentively before handing the brush to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and quickly wrote a line of words on the paper.

——The substitute is a traitor, catch him quickly!

After thinking for a while, I wrote another line below.

——Be safe, don’t worry, plan and be prepared for accidents.

With Xiao Yu's ability, these two lines are enough to understand everything.

Lin Feng quickly wrote the same content on the other two pieces of paper. After writing, he returned the pen to the shopkeeper, folded the three pieces of paper, and immediately returned to Du Gou.

"Dong Lai Guo, please." Lin Feng handed the letter to Du Gou and said.

Du Gou said without hesitation: "Wait a moment."

With that said, he took two quick steps to the table where he had just eaten, and handed the letter to his trusted guard who was sitting across the table waiting for him.

Then he said something in the guard's ear, and saw that the guard didn't hesitate, grabbed the letter and left.

Du Gou returned to Lin Feng and said, "The letter will be sent out immediately. At least three days later, at least one letter will be delivered to Xiao Siqing."

Lin Feng saw Du Gou's importance and pleasure in Lin Feng. He nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Du Gou smiled and shook his head. He said, "This wine shop tastes good. Want to eat some? Let me help you."

Lin Feng sighed: "Time is urgent and cannot be wasted... Once we solve these cases, it will not be too late to get drunk and return."

Although Du Gou had only met Lin Feng once, he knew that Lin Feng was a very calm and calm person, so Lin Feng would not even eat because of time constraints, which shows that time may be extremely tight.

He said: "What are you going to do next?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see the bodies of the dead first."

"go!"

Du Gou walked out without hesitation: "My carriage is outside, let's go out of the city."

"Leaving the city?" Zhao Shishi asked doubtfully, "Not going to the county government office?"

Du Gou shook his head: "A total of four cargo ships had an accident. The minimum number of people on these cargo ships was ten, and the maximum number was more than thirty. Therefore, after counting the four cargo ships, there were a total of seventy-six people who died, which had already exceeded the number of people in the county. The maximum number that the Yamen can carry can only be temporarily placed in a dilapidated manor outside the city."

Listening to Du Gou's words, Zhao Shishi was slightly shocked: "So many people?"

Du Gou said: "The cargo ships are big and have a lot of cargo. Just relying on manpower alone requires a lot of people. That is to say, these cargo ships are traveling along the current when passing through the Zhang River, and there is wind to help, and the cargo is not too much. , so that the smallest cargo ship only needs ten people, otherwise, if it sails against the wind, hundreds of people will not be considered much."

Zhao Shiwu is a landlubber. This is the first time he has been on a boat in his life. He has no idea about this. At this moment, when he heard Du Gou's explanation, he nodded clearly: "That's it."

While talking, several people had already boarded the carriage.

"Go to the manor where the corpse is parked." Du Gou ordered, and the groom quickly drove the horse.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen guards following, protecting the carriage.

Lin Feng looked at the guards outside and said, "It doesn't seem like they are Linshui County government officials?"

Du Gou understood what Lin Feng meant and said: "I brought these from Chang'an, so your loyalty can be assured... The water ghost incident has made people panic, and twenty or thirty people died frequently. The enemy is definitely very dangerous, so for safety For the sake of safety, I called them all."

Lin Feng said: "It's a wise move. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the Four Symbols organization. The safer it is, the better."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou finally couldn't help but be curious and said: "Lin Sizheng, what is going on? Why is it related to the Four Symbols organization? Why did you hide your identity and come here?"

Since he had to rely on Du Gou's help next, Lin Feng no longer concealed it.

He told Du Gou what he could tell in one breath.

After Du Gou heard about it, even though he was as calm as he was, he couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face: "So, you are here to investigate the 'ghost' left behind by the deceased Wang Sizheng?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Then if you are exposed now, will it be very troublesome?" Du Gou asked worriedly.

Although the accident happened suddenly and the person most affected was Lin Feng, Lin Feng still straightened his back and his expression was full of reassuring calm: "There will be some troubles, but overall it is controllable."

He calmly analyzed: "Since they will take action against me and even want to get rid of me, it means that they are still mainly trying to obstruct me and have no idea of ​​taking action in advance. Otherwise, they don't need to worry about me at all. I left Chang'an The city is actually a good thing for them..."

"I'm not boasting, I am a bit of a threat to them after all, so if I can take action directly, they will never hesitate."

"But now that they are attacking me, it proves that we still have time...but how much time this time will have is unknown, and they will definitely find ways to hinder me, and they will probably find ways to destroy clues and evidence, so we are now with What they compete with is who is faster..."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou nodded. He only felt that the pressure was greater than before. Before, it was just a series of strange murder cases that could not be solved, but now...it is actually related to the most mysterious Four Symbols organization. , and even directly related to the deep-hidden conspiracy of the Four Symbols organization.

If this cannot be cracked, or if it is cracked too late, he may not be able to bear the consequences.

The few people stopped talking and took a break with their eyes closed during the rush.

Linshui County is not a big county, so even if you leave the city, it does not take long.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

Several people got off the carriage.

Looking at the dilapidated manor in front of him with the broken door lintel and the white silk hanging on it, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but tighten his sleeves.

Even though the sun was shining right now, the manor full of Bai Ling and the black coffins he saw from the half-open door made Zhao Shiwu feel a little numb.

When Lin Feng saw this, he smiled and shook his head. He had caught ghosts so many times, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shiwu was still afraid of these things.

He said: "If you are afraid, just wait for us outside."

As he spoke, Lin Feng walked towards the manor.

Zhao Shiwu originally wanted to nod, but when Lin Feng and others entered the manor, he was the only one left outside. The wind whistled in his ears, and it sounded like someone was crying. The white silk on the lintel was blown up, revealing that it was originally covered. The bloody palm prints looked like they were caught by evil spirits... This made him tense up and chased after him: "I'm not afraid! I'm so powerful. If the ghosts really come, I'll punch them one by one."

Lin Feng glanced sideways at Zhao Fifteen, and when he saw Zhao Fifteen's tense look, he laughed and shook his head.

He ignored Zhao Shiwu and swept his eyes across the manor. He saw that the manor should have been quite large originally, but it was overgrown with weeds and was very dilapidated. Only the courtyard and the main hall were still in use.

There are all kinds of paper money at the feet, and white silk is hung on a few bare trees. From the looks of it, someone must have performed rituals here.

As he walked, Du Gou said: "If the corpses found in Linshui County are unclaimed or cannot be identified, they will be placed here."

"Usually there is an old man taking care of it. Because there are too many corpses during this time and it is a serious crime, the yamen also sent two yamen guards to take care of these corpses."

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

At this time, a yamen guard guarding the place noticed them, ran over quickly, and saluted Du Gou: "I have met Duke Lai Guo."

Du Gou nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything abnormal?"

The officer shook his head: "There is nothing unusual."

"Go and do your work. I will call you when I need you."

"Yes!"

The yamen servant had never seen Lin Feng and Zhao Shiwu before, and was a little curious about them, but Du Gou had no idea of ​​introducing Lin Feng to a young yamen servant like him, so he could only suppress his curiosity and turn around to leave.

Du Gou came to a coffin, stopped, and said, "Starting from here and going all the way to the main hall, the coffins contain the bodies of the victims of this serial murder case." Lin Feng looked forward after hearing this. go.

I saw coffins lined up one after another. The dark coffins, the smell of decay, and the yellow paper and white silk blown by the wind made this scene really eerie.

Zhao Shishi couldn't help but shudder, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and followed Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked away, and looked down into the coffin.

I saw that the corpse in the coffin was covered with corpse spots. His eyes were wide open and seemed to fall out. There was an obvious wound on his throat. Lin Feng wrapped his fingers with a handkerchief to isolate his fingers from the corpse. He made contact, then pressed the wound, looked at it carefully, and said: "The knife wound, and it was a single knife, slitting the throat directly."

Du Gou praised: "Lin Sizheng has amazing eyesight. Yes, just as Lin Sizheng said, he can kill with one sword."

Lin Feng asked: "What kind of knife?"

Du Gou said: "I judge that it is a knife with a very thin blade. It is thinner than the usual horizontal knife. It should be specially made."

"A specially made knife?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Either it is a weapon commonly used by murderers, and it has always been this kind of knife, or... he wanted to hide his identity and specially made this kind of knife so that we can't Find him based on weapons."

Du Gou nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's difficult to check."

Lin Feng said: "The murderer will find ways to hide himself. He will never walk around the streets carrying such an obvious murder weapon. It is normal that you can't find it."

As he spoke, he continued to look at the corpse, and then he saw marks on the forehead of the deceased.

There are two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, which are very similar to the word "well" left on Wang Heng's forehead when Wang Huan faked a water ghost to kill someone, but there are also differences in details.

After all, this was Wang Huan's first time to kill someone, and he was still killing with passion, so he was panicking inside. When he imitated the water ghost to leave this pattern, his hands were unsteady, making the two horizontal and vertical lines crooked.

But the two horizontal and two vertical lines on this corpse are very straight and clean, just like a calligrapher putting pen to paper.

Comparing the two is like the difference between a child who has just learned to write and Wang Xizhi.

If Lin Feng had seen the dead killed by these water ghosts before, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that Wang Heng's death was definitely not caused by the water ghosts...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but become colder. Linshui County Lieutenant Zhang Mo had seen these corpses. With the ability he showed at that time, Lin Feng did not believe that he could not recognize the difference between the two patterns.

There is no doubt that Zhang Mo already knew that this was not the work of water ghosts before he asked people to tie up the boatmen.

"Are the patterns on the foreheads of other corpses the same as the patterns on this corpse? Or are they different?" Lin Feng asked.

Du Gou said: "Exactly the same, without any difference, as if they were carefully crafted."

At this time, the speculation turned into fact. What Lin Feng hated most was people who wronged innocent people for their own benefit, regardless of the truth. Zhang Mo had stepped on his back. After this case is over, Lin Feng is determined to I will ask Du Gou or Yushitai to check Zhang Mo carefully.

He walked forward and came to another coffin.

His eyes looked towards the forehead of the deceased in the coffin.

Sure enough, as Du Gou said, they were exactly the same, even the same size. Lin Feng estimated that when the rubbings were made, the two patterns would overlap perfectly.

He touched his chin and said: "It seems that these patterns were all completed by one person..."

Du Gou frowned and said, "I think so too, but why did the murderer leave such a pattern on their foreheads? I can't figure it out."

Lin Feng looked at Du Gou and said, "I heard that after the murderer kills the people, he will move them to the mast?"

Du Gou nodded: "Yes, the murderer will use their corpses to form a circle around the mast, with their feet facing the mast and their heads in the opposite direction."

Listening to Du Gou's words, the scene on the cargo ship appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

The mast is like the center of a circle, with twenty or thirty corpses placed around the center. When viewed from above, it looks like a blooming bloody flower.

He subconsciously took out the jade pendant, gently rubbed the warm jade pendant with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, combined with his previous life experience and knowledge, and said slowly: "The murderer will do these fixed behaviors after killing. There are usually three possibilities."

When Du Gou heard this, he quickly asked: "What are the three possibilities?"

"The first."

Lin Feng stretched out a finger and said: "The murderer is performing some kind of ritual."

"Ritual?" Du Gou looked thoughtful.

Lin Feng nodded: "For example, when a monk communicates with the Buddha, he needs to meditate and chant sutras while ringing the wooden fish or turning the beads. This is a ritual for Buddhists."

"This kind of ritual often has a fixed process and a fixed method, which has something in common with what the murderer did to the deceased."

Du Gou nodded: "It makes sense..."

He thought for a while and said, "I will order people to collect folklore or corresponding customs to see if I can find clues."

Talking to smart people is easy. Du Gou will know what to do without Lin Feng having to tell him.

"What about the other two possibilities?" Du Gou continued to ask.

Lin Feng stretched out his second finger and said, "The second one is a special mark that lets certain people know that these people are the ones they killed."

"Some people?" Du Gou was startled.

Lin Feng looked at him seriously and said, "For example...the employer."

"Employer?" Du Gou's eyes widened slightly and he said in surprise: "Do you suspect that these water ghosts are hired to kill people?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "I am just stating the possible situation, but whether it is specific or not, I need evidence."

Du Zaozhao thought for a while and then said: "If a murderer is hired to kill, it is indeed possible... The employer needs to know whether the person was killed by them, so they need to leave some evidence of their murder at the scene."

Lin Feng said: "If it is for hire, then the murderer must be a professional killer, or a mountain bandit who kills many people. You can start the investigation from this aspect."

Du Gou walked a few steps, with an idea in his mind. He said: "Whether they are bandits or killers... they all came to Linshui County to kill people. In other words, they all came to Linshui County two months ago. Outsiders from Shui County, and the fact that they took action four times, the last time three days ago, shows that even if they have not stayed in Linshui County all the time, they must have traveled to Linshui County frequently in the past two months."

"Therefore, we only need to deploy enough troops to conduct door-to-door searches and screen out those who meet the requirements."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Du Gou inherited many of Du Ruhui's advantages. Even if his reasoning ability was not good enough, he could make a decision quickly as long as specific problems were put in front of him. This was the so-called "Du Jue".

"What about the last possibility?" Du Gou looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Before Lin Feng arrived, he was completely in a mess, his thoughts were confused, and he didn't know what to do. He could only repeat the meaningless patrolling and guarding every day.

But now, when Lin Feng arrived, he had already given him two directions for investigation.

This made him more confident that Lin Feng could solve the case.

"The third kind..."

Lin Feng stretched out his third finger and said: "The murderer who left the pattern and arranged the body in a fixed shape... has suffered some kind of trauma. This trauma may be a nightmare experienced in childhood, or a sudden encounter with a better life. Big changes, or other accidents, etc.”

"These things left a huge psychological trauma in his heart and changed his normal behavioral logic, so that he would do things like leaving marks on his forehead after killing people, so as to satisfy a certain psychological need in his heart. Appeal.”

Du Gou was a little confused after hearing this.

What psychological trauma, what psychological appeal?

He had never heard of this later psychological terminology.

However, Du Gou still tried hard to understand what Lin Feng meant. He pondered for a long time and said, "What Lin Sizheng means is that the murderer would do such a thing because it was entirely his personal behavior and related to his past experience?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Not bad."

Du Gou frowned. As soon as Lin Feng mentioned the first two possibilities, Du Gou quickly gave methods of verification and search.

But after this third possibility was given by Lin Feng, Du Gou was in trouble.

He said: "This cannot be investigated."

"We don't know the identity of the murderer, how can we investigate his past? We can't investigate the past of everyone in Linshui County, right?"

"Not to mention whether it can be investigated, this task alone cannot be completed in a month or two."

Zhao Shiwu also nodded like he was pecking rice.

He also felt that this was simply an impossible task.

But who knows, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "There is no need to cast a wide net in the investigation like this. There will be no results. The real murderer will not tell you the truth about his past."

Du Gou was startled: "If we don't check like this, how can we check?"

Zhao Shiwu was also very puzzled.

Then Lin Feng smiled and said: "We have to investigate in the past, but we don't have to investigate everyone... You only need to investigate the suspect's past after we identify him, so that you can compare with my reasoning." Make comparisons.”

Zhao Shiwu was stunned: "Father, your logic is wrong. If we don't investigate his past, how will we know who the suspect is?"

"Why not?" Lin Feng asked.

"What?" Neither Zhao nor Du Gou understood what Lin Feng meant.

Then Lin Feng said slowly: "Just check the previous cases to see if there are any similar cases."

"Previous cases?" The two of them were stunned.

Lin Feng said slowly: "Lai Guogong said that the patterns on the foreheads of all the deceased are the same, which means that this is definitely not the first time the murderer has done this."

"Otherwise, it is impossible for every pattern to be exactly the same. Not only are the sizes the same, but the position on the forehead is in the middle of the eyebrows, completely symmetrical... In other words, he has definitely done the same thing before, and he has definitely done it on other people's faces. Such patterns have been carved on my head many times.”

"So, you only need to issue a letter of assistance and ask officials from other states and counties to investigate past files to find out whether there are similar cases."

"At the same time, you can also request assistance from the Ministry of Punishment. Regardless of whether the cases are solved or not, they will eventually be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. The speed of the Ministry of Punishment is faster than that of remote states and counties."

"Once we find cases with the same pattern, we can combine them for investigation to get more clues. With more clues, the suspect will naturally emerge slowly. When the time comes, you can investigate his past. We found him accurately."

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou looked at Lin Feng blankly, with a look of shock on his face.

He didn't expect that when he was still worrying about how to investigate everyone's past, Lin Feng would directly find another way and find a smoother path.

And this road is definitely accessible!

This made him sigh inwardly. Only by investigating the case together with Lin Feng could he understand what the word "detective" meant.

"of course."

Lin Feng continued: "This method of finding previous cases is not specifically used for the third possibility, but for all possibilities."

"As I just said, the murderer was able to draw such a regular pattern because he must have practiced many times before. This was definitely not something he could practice once or twice... Therefore, he must have done other cases."

This time Lin Feng used "certain" instead of "possible"!

Du Gou, who had a keen mind, immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He couldn't help but get excited and wished he could dance to express his inner excitement and excitement!

He had thought carefully about Lin Feng's speculation. It was reasonable, logical, and could completely withstand scrutiny!

In other words, the murderer has definitely done the same case before!

The reason why he did this was for a ritual, to leave a mark, or to satisfy some psychological desire...it didn't matter. What was important was that he must have done it before!

This is enough!

Du Gou felt that the thick fog that originally blinded his eyes dispersed instantly.

He even felt that he could vaguely see the truth.

And all of this was brought to him by Lin Feng!

Before Lin Feng even officially started the investigation, he directly gave him the direction to get to the truth, which made him feel excited and admired.

He looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, I am writing to you to request you. This is really the most correct thing I have done in these days!"

Lin Feng laughed when he heard this: "After all, Duke Lai Guo is not a prisoner like me, so it is normal to ignore these things."

Du Gou nodded heavily, then turned to look at the guard and said: "Why don't you go and deliver the letter to the Ministry of Punishment and other yamen as Lin Sizheng said? Remember, in the name of Lai Guogong, he will deliver the letter in secret, only to the county magistrate. Or the governor, let them investigate secretly and keep quiet."

If it is in the capacity of the governor, the governors of other states may not actively cooperate, but in the name of Lai Guogong, it is different.

Naturally, the guards did not dare to disobey, so they quickly left after saying yes.

Du Gou watched the guards leave, then let out a long breath. He turned his head to look at Lin Feng and said from the bottom of his heart: "Lin Sizheng, you don't know how much pressure I have been feeling these days. This case is too weird. The murderer He didn't leave any clues pointing to him. I really had no clue... I watched the once bustling Zhang River become empty of boats, I watched the people dare not go out before it was dark, I watched the traders sigh, I watched Cizhou Business is in decline, things from Cizhou cannot be shipped out, and goods from outside cannot be shipped in. The whole Cizhou will become a stagnant water... I feel extremely anxious."

"But in investigating a case, anxiety and hard work are all it takes. I was really forced to have no choice, so I suddenly asked you for help."

"Now, as soon as you came, you directly pointed out the direction for me. If you can directly find the real culprit, remove the shadows in the hearts of the people of Linshui County, and let the Zhanghe River return to its former glory, then you will be the best choice for me and all the people of Cizhou." benefactor."

"so……"

He took a deep breath, suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Feng, and said, "Please accept my bow. This is not Du Gou's bow to Lin Feng, but the Cizhou Governor's bow to express gratitude to Dali Temple."
