People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 176: Take the fire out of the cauldron! Lin Feng's dimensionality reduction attack!

The next day.

Lin Feng yawned and walked out of the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhao Shiwu practicing martial arts in the yard.

Zhao Shiwu was seen holding a horizontal sword. As he raised and lowered the sword, there were constant whistling sounds in the air. The silver blade transformed into countless knife shadows, pouring in like a violent wind and rain, giving people a sense of The feeling of despair with nowhere to escape.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire and sigh. Zhao Shiwu was worthy of being a warrior who walked out of the battlefield alive. His terrifying killing aura and sharp and swift killing moves were far beyond what ordinary government officials could match. With Zhao Shiwu's protection, , the sense of security is simply overwhelming.

Seeing Lin Feng walking out of the room, Zhao Shiwu turned his wrist and saw the horizontal knife quickly rotating in his palm. Then he hooked his fingertips and the horizontal knife rotated 180 degrees in the air, and then made a clean and crisp sound. of sheath.

The smooth movement of sheathing the knife made Lin Feng couldn't help but high-five and say with a smile: "Beautiful!"

Zhao Shiwu chuckled, picked up the towel on the shelf and wiped the sweat from his face.

He said, "Why did my foster father get up so early?"

Lin Feng picked up the willow branch soaked in the water, put it in his mouth, and then bit it open with his teeth. The willow fibers then lifted up, like the head of a toothbrush. While brushing his teeth, he said: "There is a case in my heart." , How can I stay in bed without any worries?"

After brushing his teeth, he rinsed his mouth, then went to the basin and washed his face with water. As the cold water hit his face, the pores all over his body trembled, and the initial feeling of chaos that he had just woken up quickly disappeared without a trace.

He took the towel from Zhao Shiwu and wiped his face while saying, "Has Duke Lai Guo come to see me?"

Zhao Shiwu shook his head: "Yesterday, after my adoptive father asked Duke Lai to find the things needed to salvage the sunken ship, he separated from Duke Lai. I have never seen Duke Lai again."

Lin Feng nodded.

The starting point of this water ghost murder case is the first sunken ship.

As the first target chosen by the Four Elephant Organization, it was burned and sunk. The Four Elephant Organization had done so many things, and it was definitely not without aim. This shows that there is a high probability that there is some secret on the ship, forcing them to do this.

And there are still many unsolved mysteries on this ship.

Where are the crew members who cried out for help as the cargo ship burned?

Their bodies were not found on the boat or in the water. At that time, people were watching on the shore and no one was found swimming to the shore to escape. What was the reason why there were no dead people alive and no corpses?

In the cargo ship that was involved in the accident, there was only one crew member who escaped, but this crew member yelled crazily that the crew members of the first ship were the ones who massacred them. Why did he say that?

Did you really see it? Or other reasons?

There are really too many secrets on this sunken ship. If these questions cannot be solved, Lin Feng will still feel uncomfortable even if he catches the thief hiding in the government office.

When he solves a case, what he always pursues is that all doubts can be solved, the chain of evidence is complete, the evidence is sufficient, and there is no ambiguity anywhere in the entire case. Only in this way can the case be truly guaranteed to be error-free.

To find out these things, the sunken ship must be salvaged.

It's just that in this era, not many people have mastered the technology of salvaging sunken ships, and not many people have studied it specifically.

As a result, even if Du Gou had this idea, he had to give it up because no one could do it.

But this is not difficult for Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng didn't learn junior high school physics for nothing.

So he told Du Gou what he needed, and Du Gou said nothing and directly said that he would prepare these.

Unexpectedly, this preparation only took one night.

However, Lin Feng also understood Du Gou. After all, the most important thing he wanted was not available in Linshui County. Du Gou needed to deploy it from other states and counties, which would naturally take some time.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng stretched his muscles and bones while walking slowly towards the county government office.

Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but said: "Where are you going, foster father? Don't you want to have breakfast? I just sent the county magistrate to send a message, saying that the food has been prepared and we can go and eat at any time."

"Eat the food here?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "I don't dare to risk my life."

Knowing that the Yamen servant might have problems, Lin Feng would not take the risk.

Zhao Shiwu didn't know that Lin Feng and Du Gou had already suspected the government officials and started investigating. At this time, listening to Lin Feng's meaningful words, his head was filled with questions.

Fortunately, he followed Lin Feng and was used to Lin Feng's mystery, so he didn't bother his brain and followed Lin Feng out of the county government office.

The two randomly chose a restaurant with a lot of customers and walked in.

"Two distinguished guests, what would you like to eat?" The waiter warmly invited them to sit down.

Lin Feng said: "Two bowls of porridge and four noodles."

The porridge and noodles were all ready-made, and they were brought to them by the waiter shortly after.

Zhao Shiwu said while nibbling on the freshly baked crispy pancakes: "Father, where should we go next?"

Just as Lin Feng was about to say something, he suddenly heard the chatter of diners on the side.

"Have you heard? The legendary detective Lin Si is about to salvage the sunken ship."

"Of course I have heard about it. Now people are talking about it in the streets and alleys... Can Lin Sizheng really salvage the sunken ship? The sinking of the ship has made people panic. Now whenever we hear any movement outside at night, we are afraid that it is a water ghost. When it came, we were so scared that we covered our heads in the quilt and almost died from the fart. It would be great if he could really fish it out."

"Yeah, now that it's dark, there's no one on the street outside. Sometimes I get home late and feel so scared... And I heard that the reason why the water ghost does evil is because of their home. That is to say, the sunken ship cannot go ashore, so they have been tied to the bottom of the water. If the sunken ship can be salvaged, maybe these water ghosts will not continue to do evil."

"It's just that Lin Temple's ability to solve crimes is excellent, but salvaging the sunken ship is not solving the case. Can he do it? I asked some boatmen before, and they all said that the cargo ship was very heavy and impossible to salvage."

"You all underestimate Lin Simasa too much."

The person who spoke first waved his hand, directly attracting everyone's attention.

"What do you say?" someone asked.

The man said: "You only know Lin Sizheng's ability to solve cases, but you don't know that Lin Sizheng is omnipotent in astronomy and geography. Have you forgotten the skills Lin Sizheng showed in the cases he solved before? As high as the full moon and the lack of energy. To solve the case for him, to get down to the dirt and mud can be used for him, now it is just a matter of salvaging a sunken ship, with Rin Temple Masa's ability to continuously create miracles, it will definitely not be difficult."

"And I also heard that Lin Sizheng already has a solution. He will salvage it in three days. I must go and take a look then. Maybe it will be the most spectacular scene I have ever seen in my life."

Hearing what this person said, someone said in surprise: "Three days later? So soon?"

"How fast is this?" the man said, "I heard that Lin Si Zheng will take action in three days at the latest, maybe within a day or two!"

"I've heard about it too. It's said to be the news coming from the Yamen. It's definitely correct."

"After you said this, I feel itchy. I will definitely go to the shore to watch when the time comes. Mom, I can't even think about salvaging a sunken ship."

"Haha, let's go together then! After Lin Si is salvaged, we'll have a drink together. This kind of happy event should be revealed!"

Upon hearing this, the diners raised their porridges one after another, and drank it down one after another, just like heroes drinking.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but feel excited and proud. He whispered: "Father, everyone is waiting for your good news now."

But at this moment, Lin Feng frowned.

Zhao Fifteen is a fool who doesn't have many brains, but how could Lin Feng not notice the problem here.

He turned his head to look at the man who had just spoken, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I wonder where you got this news? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Hearing this, the man looked at Lin Feng strangely: "Have you just arrived in Linshui County? Now you can just find a place with many people and everyone is talking about it. Do you still need to bother to inquire?"

"I see." Lin Feng said embarrassedly: "I left in a hurry this morning and didn't stop much, so I just heard about it."

The man didn't think much and nodded.

Lin Feng asked curiously: "You all believe in Lin Si Zheng so much? What if he doesn't succeed in salvaging it by then? Have you never thought about this?"

"How could Lin Sizheng fail?"

"That's right, don't talk nonsense!"

"Lin SiZheng has never done anything that failed, so don't slander Lin SiZheng!"

Before the man could answer, the other diners were unhappy.

When Lin Feng saw this, he quickly apologized one by one and praised himself so much that the diners were relieved of their anger.

He turned around, feeling very complicated in his heart.

Weird things happened a lot in his life, but this was the first time that he would be beaten by others if he didn't praise himself.

Zhao Shishi looked at Lin Feng's complicated expression and quickly covered his face in the bowl to prevent Lin Feng from finding out that he couldn't help but want to laugh wildly.

Lin Feng sighed: "Your big face can't be covered by two bowls. If you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it in. If you hold it in, I will have to treat you."

"Pfft hahaha..." Zhao Shiwu finally couldn't help laughing.

Listening to Zhao Shishi's laughter, Lin Feng felt even more that things were so unpredictable that one day he would be laughed at by this honest adopted son.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge silently.

Zhao Shiwu laughed for a while, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He looked at Lin Feng, who was frowning. He was so slow that he finally realized that Lin Feng's expression was too strange, and it didn't look like he was embarrassed.

He couldn't help but whisper: "Father, are you worried that you won't be able to salvage it?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "I am still somewhat confident in my junior high school physics score of 98 points."

Zhao Shiwu naturally didn't understand what a physics score of 98 points was, but it didn't stop him from understanding that it was a very powerful thing, and it also made him understand that Lin Feng was very confident in salvaging the sunken ship.

But if that's the case, why is Lin Feng still so worried?

Lin Feng knew Zhao Shishi's doubts. He looked around and saw everyone discussing the matter of salvaging the sunken ship in three days. He took a deep breath and whispered: "Let me ask you, did you hear me say that I will be there?" Will the sunken ship be salvaged in three days?”

Zhao Shishi was startled for a moment, he frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "It seems that the adoptive father really never said when he would salvage it."

Lin Feng said: "So, how did the time of three days come about? Even I, the person involved, don't know such an accurate time. How do the people know it? They are even ready to watch it in person."

At this moment, Zhao Shiwu finally understood why Lin Feng's expression was wrong.

That's right, even Lin Feng didn't know what day he would salvage it. How could the people know?

"besides."

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shiwu, frowned and said: "I said that I wanted to salvage the sunken ship yesterday evening... In other words, this news can only be released during the period of yesterday evening until the curfew, and this morning's curfew It’s just spreading from the end to this moment.”

"This is not a long time...why do so many people know about it?"

In this era, there is no Internet, no hot searches, no push notifications... The spread of news is very stagnant, so in a short period of time, almost everyone knows what can be spread, which in itself is the biggest problem.

The more Zhao Shishi listened, the less smile he had on his face. By now, his expression had tightened.

He frowned and said, "It's really strange for my adoptive father to say that." "Not only that, there's another thing that I'm also very concerned about..."

"What?" Zhao Shiwu asked.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "These people have too much confidence in me."

Zhao Shiwu was startled: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Lin Feng said: "Let's not discuss whether it is a good thing or not. Let's just look at the matter itself calmly... You must know that I am the master of Dali Temple, not an official of the Ministry of Industry, let alone a famous master craftsman. I can't say that. To put it nicely, I am a crime solver... So, why do these people trust me so much, a person who can only solve crimes, for something that even the master cannot do? "

"Even if I raise a question, they want to beat me up?"

"This……"

Only then did Zhao Shiwu finally understand why Lin Feng wanted to offend these people just now.

It turned out that Lin Feng had already noticed something was wrong at that time and went to test it.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Lin Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Eat quickly. After eating, we will go find Duke Lai. I suspect that the Four Elephants organization is going to cause trouble again."

…………

The two returned to the county government office and went to find Du Gou.

Before they arrived at Du Gou's office room, they met Du Gou in a hurry.

"Mr. Lai Guo, I'm just going to find you."

"Lin SiZheng, something happened."

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Then their expressions became stunned.

Lin Feng was the first to say: "What's wrong?"

Du Gou's face was solemn, he took out a letter from his arms and said, "Look."

Lin Feng took the letter and found that the envelope had been torn open.

He took out the paper from the envelope and looked up...

The next moment, Lin Feng's pupils shrank slightly.

I saw only one line on this letter.

——When the sunken ship is salvaged and brought ashore, I will kill ten people to add to the fun.

No signature, no other ink marks.

Just this sudden sentence.

But this was enough for Lin Feng to know that this was a threatening letter sent to him by the Four Elephants Organization.

Du Gou said quickly: "The yamen sent this to me just now when I was doing official business. The yamen said it was a child who sent it to the yamen."

"I have already seen that child. The child was very young, only five years old. He said that a man in gray clothes with a black cloth on his face gave it to him. The man gave him a piece of cake and asked him to put the letter in it. Send it, so he doesn’t know who the person who asked him to deliver the letter is.”

Lin Feng nodded, not surprised.

With the caution of the Four Elephants organization, how could they leave clues on such a trivial matter.

Du Gou looked at Lin Feng with a very ugly expression on his face: "The Four Elephants Organization wants to prevent you from salvaging the sunken ship. It seems that there are secrets in the sunken ship that they really care about."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Lin Feng said slowly.

"What?" Du Gou was startled.

Then he heard Lin Feng talk about what had just happened in the restaurant.

When Du Gou heard that the story of salvaging the sunken ship had been spread to everyone, and even the specific time was known, and that all the people had made an appointment to watch Lin Feng salvage the sunken ship, his expression completely changed.

With his knowledge and mind, he quickly understood what this meant.

He frowned and said: "I have been handling official business in the office and have never left... and all my guards have gone to do business. No one informed me of this news, and I was completely unaware of it."

He looked at Lin Feng with a heavy expression on his face: "They not only want to prevent you from salvaging the sunken ship, but they also want to ruin your reputation and deal a heavy blow to the reputation you have finally accumulated."

Zhao Shiwu, who was following Lin Feng, was shocked when he heard this: "Let the foster father be ruined?"

Lin Feng said with a smile: "If you want to completely destroy a person, you must first lift him up. The higher you lift him, the harder he will fall."

"You also saw what happened in the restaurant just now... Fifteen, you can think about it. With everyone full of expectations and confidence in me, they went to the shore together to wait for me to salvage the sunken ship. They even Ready to celebrate."

"But what's the result?"

He said calmly: "In the end, I didn't go to salvage the sunken ship at all, or I did, but in order to protect the people of Linshui County from being harmed, I didn't dare to actually salvage the sunken ship... By then, can you imagine what would happen? What happened?"

Zhao Shiwu's eyes widened rapidly and his pupils trembled violently. At this moment, even a simple and honest man like him finally understood.

the more you hope, the harder you fall!

He hurriedly said: "When everyone is full of expectations for the adoptive father, and no one can even question it, if the adoptive father does not salvage the sunken ship, it will definitely turn everyone's hope into disappointment."

"It would be nice if it was just pure disappointment."

Lin Feng said solemnly: "I'm afraid that this disappointment, driven by thoughtful people, will turn into anger that they were deceived, and the anger will eventually evolve into abuse and slander against me... By then, what kind of detective Lin Feng... …”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I will be called Lin Feng a liar, or an incompetent person, right?"

Zhao Shiwu had never experienced this, but in his previous life, Lin Feng had witnessed with his own eyes how a national athlete withdrew from the competition despite being injured, which resulted in years of abuse.

As much as he was expected before the game, he was disappointed after he retired. As a result, he has been scolded for so many years.

Because of his experience, he knows better how badly he will fall once the Four Symbols organization succeeds.

Zhao Fifteen's face turned pale as he listened to Lin Feng's words: "Could it be that the adoptive father is thinking too seriously? We can explain it, and maybe they will understand."

"explain?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "How to explain? Tell the people that we failed because we were trying to protect them from being killed by people from the Four Elephants Organization?"

"I..." Zhao Shishi opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Lin Feng shook his head: "First of all, will the people believe this explanation? Will they think it is our excuse?"

"Secondly, if the people really believe it, will they think that our government is incompetent and that we are being threatened by thieves... At the same time, will it cause greater panic and let the people know that there are thieves who can threaten their lives hidden behind them? Will they be killed at any time?"

"And which consequence do you think is more serious than the damage to my reputation?"

When Zhao Shiwu heard Lin Feng's words, his heart suddenly dropped.

He said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Do we really want to watch my adoptive father's reputation be damaged? Or even be reviled and slandered?"

Du Gou's originally gentle face was now covered with frost.

He said in a cold voice: "This Four Symbols organization is really despicable and shameless, using such despicable methods!"

Even Du Gou, a gentle and polite person, made despicable and vile comments, which was enough to show that the Four Symbols organization really made him extremely angry.

At the same time, it can also be seen that he has nothing to do for a while, otherwise he would directly give a response instead of wasting his words on the Four Elephants organization for being shameless.

Smart people will not do such meaningless things to vent their emotions unless there is really no other way.

Du Gou couldn't help but look at Lin Feng worriedly. It looked like a dead end in front of him. He could only temporarily think about how to comfort Lin Feng.

But when he saw Lin Feng's expression, he was stunned.

Because Lin Feng's expression was not at all like the anxious and helpless look he imagined. Instead, he was smiling. In this way, he looked like he was being cornered by the Four Elephants organization.

He couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng, what are you doing?"

Lin Feng faced Du Gou's confused expression. He knew what Du Gou was thinking, and he said directly: "Actually, the matter in front of me is not unsolvable."

"Is there a way to solve it?" Zhao Shiwu asked quickly.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said: "The purpose of the Four Elephants Organization is very clear. On the one hand, it wants to prevent me from salvaging the sunken ship and investigating the secrets in the sunken ship. On the other hand, it wants to take this opportunity to discredit me... If we are not threatened by them, If they insist on salvaging the sunken ship, then they can publish the contents of the threatening letter and say that I don't care about the lives of ordinary people, which will still ruin my reputation."

"It can be said that the moment they attacked me, they already thought they were invincible. No matter what I did, the final result would be the same."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Shishi's heart went cold: "It's obvious that they are conspiring, and there is no solution before and after. Why are you so relaxed, foster father?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not wrong to say it's a conspiracy. This is in line with the consistent style of the Four Elephants organization. They will do nothing if they don't take action. Once they do, they will never let people escape easily."

"But……"

Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed and he said slowly: "If they want to make this conspiracy successful, there is one prerequisite..."

"What's the premise?" Zhao Shiwu asked quickly.

Lin Feng looked at Du Gou and said solemnly: "Someone has to do it."

"Someone will do it?" Zhao Shiwu was confused and didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

But at this moment, Du Gou's eyes suddenly widened. He was so smart that he quickly understood what Lin Feng meant.

He clapped his hands, looked at Lin Feng with excitement, and said excitedly: "Yes, why did I forget about this! This is to draw fire from the bottom of the pot! Lin Sizheng already had a solution yesterday!"

Looking at Du Gou's excitement and Lin Feng's chuckle, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Lai Guogong, foster father... what are you talking about? Isn't this the move that the Four Elephants Organization just launched today? Why did my adoptive father have a solution yesterday?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Fifteen, you don't know. In fact, when we were on the ship yesterday, Lai Guogong and I had narrowed down the members of the Four Elephants Organization and knew what identities they were hiding under."

"What?" Zhao Shiwu immediately showed surprise: "Really?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "And Lai Guogong has already started investigating, so... if we can find them and arrest them within three days... then how can we carry out the execution if they don't even have anyone left?" Where is their conspiracy?"

　There will be a second update tonight, to make up for the leave chapter.
