People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 187 An unimagined line of reasoning! Sun Fujia was shocked!

Although Anyang County belongs to Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou and Cizhou are adjacent to each other, so the geographical distance is not too far, so they traveled all night without rest. The next day, Anyang County just opened the city gate, and Lin Feng and others arrived.

"Father."

Zhao Shiwu's voice came from outside the car: "We have arrived at Anyang County, where to go next?"

Lin Feng was awakened from his sleep by Zhao Shiwu's voice. He opened his eyes in a daze, reacted briefly, and then quickly became awake.

Investigating a case is an extremely mental task. Only a clear-headed brain can make the most reasonable judgments and observe details more carefully. Therefore, in order to investigate the case in the best possible condition, Lin Feng seizes every moment. Bell comes to rest.

He stretched out, moved his muscles that were being pushed out of place, lifted the car curtain and looked out.

I saw that the gate of Anyang County in front was already open, and pedestrians were coming and going. Compared to Linshui County, Anyang County was obviously more lively.

Du Gou, who had just woken up at the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Linshui County, as a transit place for ships, used to be as lively as Anyang County, but with the Sixiang organization killing people and killing people, fake water ghosts kill people, so The originally lively Zhang River was rumored to be a ghost river, and the prosperous Linshui County became very deserted."

Sun Fuga, who was secretly rubbing his shoulders, heard this and said solemnly: "The Four Elephants Organization only killed some people who had worked for it, and almost destroyed the prosperity of a city. If its plan in Chang'an City is really allowed to succeed, I’m afraid that today’s Linshui County will become tomorrow’s Tang Dynasty.”

Du Gou's mind froze, and his newly awakened tiredness was quickly frightened away by these words. He said, "We have to hurry up."

Lin Feng's expression did not change as he listened to the two men's words. Now that the goal was clear - investigate the case and find the real culprit. Then he would no longer think about the conspiracy of the Four Symbols organization, and concentrate on doing the things at hand to avoid unnecessary mental internal friction.

Time is already tight, and if your energy is distracted by other things and you are unable to concentrate, that would be really disappointing.

"Send someone to the county government office to inform the county magistrate of our arrival, and ask the county magistrate to arrange manpower to cooperate with us in investigating the case."

Lin Feng calmly issued an order: "Let's go directly to Xia's house to learn about the specific situation of the deceased."

Time was running out, so Lin Feng didn't plan to go to the county office to chat with the county magistrate and started investigating the case directly.

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he naturally did not hesitate and said directly: "I understand."

With that said, some guards headed towards the county government office, and they turned around and hurried towards Xia Mansion under the guidance of Chen Miao, who was kidnapped by Lin Feng.

While on the road, Lin Feng asked Chen Miao: "How powerful is the Xia family compared to your Chen family?"

Chen Miao subconsciously unfolded the folding fan to show off his coquettishness. It could be seen that the three big guys in the carriage were looking at him seriously. He shrank his neck, silently closed the folding fan, and said: "The overall power of the Xia family is compared to Although there are people who are not in the Chen family who are officials in the court, the highest one is a governor, and there is no official in Chang'an City. However, in Anyang County, they still have a very high prestige and status. No other family in the entire Anyang County can. Compare it to that.”

Those who did not serve as officials in Chang'an meant they were outside the center of power, but those who served as governors still had some influence in the local area, but compared with the Chen family who had the experience of serving the Tang Dynasty and making meritorious deeds, they were still far behind.

It seems that the relationship between the Xia family and the Chen family is indeed good, otherwise Chen Miao, a libertine and a dandy, would never be so reserved.

Lin Feng nodded, now that he had a general understanding of the Xia family's situation, he would be able to know what attitude and method to use next to investigate the case with the highest efficiency.

"The Xia family is the only one in Anyang County, and there is no other family that can compete with it... In this case, as a direct descendant of the Xia family, who else can make Xia Haohan unwilling to accept or even jealous and hate him?"

Lin Feng tapped his fingertips on his legs, and his mind kept thinking about this person who made Xia Haohan unwilling. No matter what the reason was for Xia Haohan to leave the brothel, his final death was definitely related to this person who made him unwilling. .

Who will this person be?

Could it be...that they are also members of the Xia family? Or, someone from the government?

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. In Anyang County, it seemed that only other members of the Xia family and people from the government could suppress Xia Haohan.

Could it be them?

While he was thinking, the carriage stopped.

"Father, we are here."

After listening to Zhao Shiwu's words, Lin Feng got off the carriage directly.

All he saw in front of him was a house with red walls, green tiles and tall lintels.

In front of the courtyard gate are two stone lions with silver nails on the door. Even though people are coming and going, the door is still very clean. From the details, you can see the whole picture. This is the Xia family's rules and concern for their own image. It should be heavier than the Chen family.

Lin Feng looked away and said: "Fifteen, call the door."

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door without saying anything.

Not long after, a voice came from the door: "Stop knocking. We have just cleaned the door. Don't knock it dirty for us."

As the sound rang out, the door opened.

Then a middle-aged man appeared behind the door.

The man opened the door a crack and took a look outside. When he saw Lin Feng and others wearing official robes, he was immediately stunned.

After all, someone in the Xia family is an official in the court, so the servants in the mansion can still understand some official robes, and the official robes of the Tang Dynasty are distinguished by color. Even if you don't know the pattern, you can tell just by looking at the color. Several grades of officials.

At this moment, it was seen at a glance that Lin Feng and Sun Fujia were both above the fifth rank. The man who opened the door was immediately shocked. He quickly saluted and said, "Young man, steward of the Xia Mansion, I wonder what you are doing with these senior officials?"

Lin Feng took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold tone: "I, Lin Feng, the leader of Dali Temple, together with Duke Lai Guo and Sun Langzhong of the Ministry of Punishment, are harassing the Xia Mansion today to investigate the murder of Xia Haohan six years ago. You should immediately notify the head of the Xia family and ask him to come see me."

Lin Feng is not going to take the people-friendly route today, which will cost a lot of words. Now everything is prioritized with efficiency. The government orders people to cooperate without any nonsense, which is the highest efficiency.

When the housekeeper heard Lin Feng's words, he was more shocked than anything.

He came here for a case six years ago, and they were two high-ranking officials of the fifth rank, as well as the current Duke of the country... His legs were going weak, and he quickly said: "Lin Si is waiting a moment, I will go and report to the head of the family."

After saying that, he didn't dare to delay at all and left quickly.

Looking at the butler's leaving figure, Lin Feng secretly nodded in his heart. The Xia family was indeed much lower in power and class than the Chen family. When he went to the Chen family, the Chen family's servants were not so panicked.

Not long after, I heard rapid footsteps coming from the house.

Lin Feng and others looked over and saw a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes walking quickly with a group of people also wearing Chinese clothes.

As soon as he arrived in front of Lin Feng and the others, he hurriedly saluted: "Xia Xungong, the head of the Xia family, has met Lai Guogong, Lin Sizheng, and Sun Langzhong."

Lin Feng looked at Xia Xungong. Xia Xungong had a square face, a calm expression, and meticulous etiquette. He had the unique temperament of a large family. However, although he was only in his forties, his hair clearly had silver threads, making him look older than his actual age. A lot.

"Master Xia, there is no need to be polite."

Lin Feng said with a gentle expression: "We have been investigating some things recently, and we happened to find out the murder case of Xia Haohan six years ago. Adhering to the principle of investigating every case, we came to your house to understand the situation. I hope your house can cooperate. , help us find out the truth, find the real culprit, and avenge your son."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he could see the head of the Xia family in front of him. His originally calm eyes could not help but cast a look of excitement. Although he hid it well, his subconsciously clenched fists and the brightness of his eyes were... Lin Feng could still clearly feel how excited and excited the person in front of him was about his words.

Lin Feng was deep in thought when he saw Xia Xungong suddenly bowed and saluted. His voice was firm and filled with the excitement of hope after years of despair, and he said: "If Lin Temple has a need, the Xia family will do their best. Just ask for it." Lin Si is able to find the real culprit and avenge my son!"

Lin Feng and the others did not expect Xia Xungong's reaction to be so violent, but when they thought of Zhao Deshun's deep fatherly love for Zhao Minglu and Fu Yang's deep fatherly love for Fu Xue, Lin Feng understood. It seems that even if six years have passed, time can turn the sea into a wasteland. But it still didn't heal the scar of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away, and it didn't make Xia Xungong give up on finding the truth about his son's murder.

When he looked at Xia Xungong, his expression became gentler, and he took a step forward, helped Xia Xungong up, and said: "Master Xia, there is no need to do this. It is the responsibility of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to find out the truth. Since I If I come to your house in person, I will do my best."

Xia Xungong nodded heavily: "The Xia family will fully cooperate with Lin Sizheng's investigation."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, then he went straight to the point and said, "I wonder if Xia Haohan's room still exists?"

Xia Xungong said hurriedly: "Still the same as before, he is my most beloved son, and I can't accept his passing... So, I have kept his room, and I go there every day and look at his room. , memories of the past echo in my mind as if he had never left.”

Listening to Xia Xungong's words, even Chen Miao, a dandy like him, couldn't help but sigh and put away his cynical smile.

Lin Feng felt relieved when he saw that the room was still there. The room was still there, so it was likely that there would be clues about Xia Haohan's anomaly that day. This was the best situation. He immediately said: "Please take us to the master's room to have a look. "

When Xia Xungong saw that Lin Feng was about to investigate the case, he quickly said: "Lin Si is here to invite..."

With that said, he led the way.

Lin Feng and others entered Xia Mansion one after another.

As soon as he entered the Xia Mansion, Lin Feng was amazed by how clean and tidy the Xia Mansion was... The stone slabs on the ground even reflected the light of the sun, and there was no mess in the entire yard. The things placed there, even the trees, are symmetrical. This place is simply good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

At the same time, every servant I met on the road was neatly dressed and clean. When they saw Lin Feng and others, no matter how busy they were, they would immediately stop and salute very seriously and respectfully. They would not leave quickly until Lin Feng and the others were far away. But no matter how anxious he is, he will not run indecently.

Seeing this, Lin Feng already understood in his heart that the clean and bright appearance of the Xia family's door seemed to be no accident. The Xia family really had many and strict rules.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if the Xia Family Master has strict requirements for heirs?"

Xia Xungong didn't expect Lin Feng to ask this question, but he still said without hesitation: "Strict masters produce brilliant disciples, and strict fathers produce filial sons. The Xia family is not as rich as other wealthy families, and it still takes generations of hard work to strengthen the family, so I have strict requirements for all my descendants, regardless of direct lineage or collateral lineage."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "During the time when Xia Haohan's accident happened, did the Head of the Xia family notice anything unusual about Xia Haohan?"

"abnormal?"

Xia Xungong frowned, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Everything is normal. I also tested his reading performance in the morning. If Chen Miao hadn't come to look for Quanzi later, Quanzi wouldn't even have a chance to go out. I would do it every day He was given prescribed coursework, and he was not allowed to go out until he completed it."

Are the requirements so strict? So do you know the content of the competition between your son and Chen Miao in the brothel?

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. Why did Xia Xungong's evaluation of Xia Haohan seem to be somewhat different from what Chen Miao said?

Lin Feng said: "If you were asked to give a fair evaluation of Xia Haohan, how would you evaluate it?"

Xia Xungong couldn't help but have a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he said: "Quinzi is filial, studious, and strict with himself. My Xia family has many rules. Other children often complain when they are ignorant, but he is the only one who sticks to his own rules and is very sensible. ."

Listening to Xia Xungong's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at Chen Miao and secretly thought that this was really the same person as the lustful playboy Chen Miao mentioned?

Is it because Xia Xungong is too subjective towards his lost son, or is Xia Haohan too good at hiding it? Or is this weird guy Chen Miao trying to fool him?

While he was thinking, Xia Xungong's voice sounded: "The place in front of you is where Quanzi lived during his lifetime."

When Lin Feng heard this, he raised his head and looked up.

What he saw was a spacious yard in front of him. The yard was surrounded by fences and had a strong sense of personal territory.

There is a small lake in the yard with a rockery pavilion on it, which is very beautiful.

In the back, there is a row of houses. The tiles of these houses have faded due to the wind and sun, but the doors and windows are reflecting in the sunlight, and they are extremely clean. It seems that even if Xia Haohan is gone, the Xia family will Cleaned every day.

Lin Feng looked at the courtyard and said, "Does each heir of your Xia Mansion have his own exclusive courtyard?"

Xia Xungong shook his head: "Only Dalang has it."

"Because he is the eldest son?" Lin Feng asked.

Xia Xungong shook his head and said: "Because he is excellent enough and his performance in all aspects is far better than others, so on his seventeenth birthday, I not only rewarded him, but also to inspire other children, I asked him what he wanted, and he said He wanted a quiet courtyard to study, so I had this courtyard prepared for him.”

"Did you also ask someone to create the rockery lake in the yard?" Lin Feng asked.

"That's not true. I just gave him the yard. As for how to manage it, it is all his own arrangement. I will not control him in everything, but will give him a certain amount of decision-making power."

"Can others enter his yard at will?"

"Of course not." Xia Xungong said, "He asked for the yard just to find a quiet place to study. How can he be allowed to be disturbed again?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "In other words, only with his permission can others enter, right?"

Xia Xungong nodded.

Lin Feng gently rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, thinking about the information he had just received... Xia Haohan specifically asked for a yard that belonged to him, and could completely isolate others from entering at will. Is it really just for studying?

It is indeed possible for Xia Xungong to be a sensible and progressive son, but for Xia Haohan, who is like-minded as Chen Miao said, that may not be possible.

So, the same person has two completely different evaluations. What is the reason?

Lin Feng was thinking as he entered the yard and came to a room.

Xia Xungong pushed the door open and introduced, "This is Quanzi's bedroom."

Lin Feng walked in and saw that Xia Haohan's bedroom was very spacious. Like other wealthy families, it was divided into two parts: an outer room and an inner room. The outer room was used for resting or entertaining guests, and the inner room was used for beds. A place to sleep.

After stepping through the door and entering the outer room, Lin Feng looked around and found that the decoration of the outer room was really simple.

There are no common calligraphy and paintings on the walls. They are empty. A rectangular table is placed in the middle with water cups and kettles on it. Some carved red lacquer cabinets are placed against the walls... except that the furniture is relatively expensive, there is no special feature.

He walked through the door of the inner room again and entered the inner room. He looked around and saw ordinary clothes hangers and dressing tables. There was nothing special. The only thing worth mentioning was the picture of four people. The super large bed doesn't feel crowded when you lie down.

"Interesting... The rest of the place is unremarkable, except that the bed is surprisingly big. Does this mean that Xia Haohan only cares about sleeping?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then gave Chen Miao a wink. Although Chen Miao was careless, as a son of an aristocratic family, he still knew how to look. He quickly ran over and said, "Lin Si Zheng, what are your orders?"

Lin Feng winked at Sun Fujia who was standing aside. Sun Fujia, who had a tacit understanding, immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. He found a reason and called Xia Xungong out.

Lin Feng looked at the big bed in front of him, and then said slowly: "You heard what the head of the Xia family just said, why are his and your evaluations of Xia Haohan so different?"

"This……"

Chen Miao's face was full of doubts, and she said in confusion: "I feel very strange too. Just now I almost wanted to ask Uncle Xia if he told the wrong person."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "In other words, you are sure that your evaluation of Xia Haohan is correct. The Xia Haohan you are familiar with is the Xia Haohan who has the same temperament as you. He likes to go to brothels, like women, and likes to drink and have fun. ?”

Chen Miao coughed and said, "That's called romantic and suave, and has the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

The legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, aren’t you still taking drugs?

Lin Feng took a deep look at Chen Miao, who felt a little guilty and said, "Lin Sizheng, is there something on my face?"

"Have you ever taken Wu Shi Powder?" Lin Feng got straight to the point.

Chen Miao hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not. Wushisan is not a good thing and can make people insane. Grandpa strictly ordered us to touch these things."

"Where is Xia Haohan?" Lin Feng asked again.

Chen Miao frowned and said: "Probably not... The Xia family has more rules than our Chen family. Although Brother Xia and I are both wild and uninhibited, we still know the bottom line... not to mention that we are all aware of the harm of Wu Shi San , how could Brother Xia let himself be poisoned by Five Stone Powder?"

Since he has not taken Wushi Powder, that should rule out the possibility that he left the brothel that night because of mental problems caused by Wushi Powder... Lin Feng nodded, raised his hand, pointed to the big bed in front of him, and said: "You What do you think of this big bed?”

Chen Miao scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect him to be inferior to me in the brothel competition, but he is so brave at home."

Lin Feng: "?"

Chen Miao brushed his hands and unfolded the folding fan. He put the folding fan in front of his face, covering his mouth and nose, leaving only his eyes exposed. He chuckled and said, "Lin Sizheng, have you ever slept with a woman?" ?”

I'll just investigate the case. Is it so heartbreaking... Lin Feng looked deeply at the bed and said, "You mean... this is what Xia Haohan set up to sleep with a woman?"

"There should be more than one."

Chen Miao said with a dissolute smile: "If we have one, we won't be able to use such a big bed..."

Afraid that Lin Feng, a single man, might not understand, Chen Miao also specifically explained: "I can guarantee it with my own personal experience."

Lin Feng: "..."

He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to punch the showy guy in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xia Haohan has a wife and concubines?"

Chen Miao nodded: "Three concubines, no wife for the time being."

The ancients had no order in marrying wives and taking concubines. You could take concubines first and then take wives. After all, concubines are not very important. There can be many, but there can only be one head wife. For a big family like the Xia family, It is said that when marrying a wife, one must consider the right match, and the role of the wife's family in supporting the husband's family must also be considered. Therefore, marrying a wife is a very important and cumbersome matter for the successor, and the decision will not be made lightly.

However, although Xia Haohan does not have a real wife, he has three concubines at home, and he even goes to a brothel to hang out... With the power of the Xia family in Anyang County, it is impossible for Xia Xungong not to know about Xia Haohan's visit to a brothel, but even so, Xia Xungong Xun Gong also had positive comments about Xia Haohan. Why is this?

Is it just because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man grief that he couldn't bear to say bad things about his deceased son?

Lin Feng's eyes flickered and his brain turned rapidly. He recalled in his mind the neat and tidy courtyard he saw after arriving at Xia's house, as well as the strict rules, and the feelings Xia Xungong made him...

A kind of speculation slowly came to mind.

He suddenly turned around and came to the outer room, looked at Xia Xungong, and said, "Master Xia, I wonder if the huge bed in Xia Haohan's room was there when Xia Haohan moved here, or was it built later?"

Xia Xungong obviously knew Xia Haohan's story well. He said without hesitation: "It was an ordinary double bed from the beginning."

"When did you change to this bed?" Lin Feng asked.

Xia Xungong said: "It was about two months before Dalang's accident."

"Two months before the accident..."

Lin Feng remembered this time and said, "Master Xia, does he know why he suddenly changed this bed?"

Xia Xungong shook his head and sighed: "I just said that I won't control everything about Dalang. It's just a matter of changing a bed. He doesn't need to report it to me... So I didn't care about it at first. I don’t know, but it was after Dalang’s accident that I came to his room and discovered that the bed had been changed. As for the reason..."

He couldn't hide his sadness: "Dalang has left me, and I didn't even have a chance to ask."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I wonder if Xia Haohuan encountered anything special two months ago? Or did he have any unusual situations two months ago?"

"This……"

Xia Xungong frowned and said, "Lin Sizheng asked me to think about it first. I never thought that Dalang's case was related to what happened two months ago. I need some time to recall."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Master Xia, don't worry, think about it slowly."

While Xia Xungong was thinking, Lin Feng called Chen Miao aside again and said, "There is something that is not convenient for me to do. Please help me find Xia Haohan's wives and concubines to inquire about it."

"What's the matter?" Chen Miao asked curiously.

Lin Feng coughed and said: "Ask them...after Xia Haohan built the big bed, whether the bed matters were different from before, and whether the attitude towards them was different. Before Xia Haohan built the big bed, did Xia Haohan Did you do anything special?"

Chen Miao was silent for a while, and he couldn't help but said: "Lin Sizheng... Although I am unruly, do you think it is appropriate for me to ask about the widow's bed?"

Lin Feng said gently: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Do you want to tell me that your ability is poor? Or do you mean that you don't want to find out the truth for your brother?"

A narcissistic person like Chen Miao couldn't bear this kind of provocation. When he heard this, he immediately blushed and said, "Lin Si Zheng, please don't underestimate me. I will find a way to help Lin Si Zheng ask the question!"

After saying that, Chen Miao strode away directly.

Looking at Chen Miao's leaving figure, Lin Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was considering whether to bring a woman to accompany him in future investigations. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for grown men like them to ask questions specifically to women.

After watching Chen Miao leave, Lin Feng returned to the inner room.

Looking at the bed that could accommodate four people, his eyes were deep and thoughtful.

"Lin Templezheng."

At this moment, Xia Xungong's voice sounded: "I remembered."

When Lin Feng heard this, he quickly turned around and looked at Xia Xungong.

I heard Xia Xungong say: "More than two months before Dalang's accident, he had been to Luzhou once."

"Luzhou?"

The geographical location of Luzhou quickly emerged in Lin Feng's mind. Luzhou is located less than three hundred miles to the west of Xiangzhou. However, because it is separated by the Taihang Mountains, even though it is only more than two hundred miles away, it cannot be reached in a short time. of.

Starting from Xiangzhou to Luzhou, one round trip... Judging from the time he has left now, it is definitely not enough.

He asked: "I wonder why he went to Luzhou?"

Xia Xungong said: "Actually, it's nothing special. Our Xia family controls some businessmen, and some of them want to open trade routes in Luzhou. We need someone from our Xia family to judge whether it is worth spending manpower, material and financial resources to run Luzhou." The state's trade routes, so I asked Dalang to go and have a look, which would also be considered as training for him."

Lin Feng nodded. In this era, businessmen were of the lowest rank. As a wealthy family in Anyang County, the Xia family naturally could not lower themselves to engage in business.

But the wealthy tribe has a large population and so many mouths to eat, so they will control some businessmen and use them to make money and maintain expenses.

"Then what?" Lin Feng asked, "Did the trip to Luzhou go well?"

Xia Xungong nodded: "It went very well. Dalang believes that Luzhou has a large population, is prosperous, and is suitable for opening up trade routes. He even assured me that Luzhou's business will surpass our business in Xiangzhou."

"Oh?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The main sphere of influence of your Xia family is in Xiangzhou, but he said that Luzhou's business will surpass Xiangzhou. Why does he have such confidence? What's the result?"

Xia Xungong sighed and shook his head: "I don't know why Dalang is so confident, but it turns out... Dalang was wrong. There are more wealthy families in Luzhou than in Xiangzhou, so the competition is very fierce. As soon as we enter, we are from outside." Being squeezed out, I finally had to choose to give up on Luzhou."

"Xia Haohan has been to Luzhou in person. The situation in Luzhou is definitely clearer than Xia Xungong's, but when he came back, he said that the business in Luzhou would be hotter than in Xiangzhou... There must be something Xia Xungong didn't know about here... What makes him so confident?"

"In the end, the Xia family was forced to withdraw from Luzhou. Does this prove that the reasons that made Xia Haohan confident disappeared with his death... And is this related to Xia Haohan's death?"

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Master Xia, I wonder if any of the businessmen who followed Xia Haohuan to Xiangzhou are in Anyang County? I want to meet them."

Xia Haohan frowned and thought for a while, then said immediately: "I remembered that one person is still running a business in Anyang County, and the others have been dispatched to other places. I will ask someone to call him right now."

Lin Feng nodded: "Thank you."

Without saying a word, Xia Haohan directly ordered the housekeeper on the side to call someone.

As the housekeeper left, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Master Xia, I have a jade pendant here. I wonder if you have seen it before."

While talking, Lin Feng handed the jade pendant obtained from the sunken ship to Xia Haohan.

Xia Haohan took the jade pendant, looked through it carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "I've never seen it before. This should be a family heirloom jade pendant of a certain rich family. There is no big family named Chen in Xiangzhou."

It's not a wealthy family in Xiangzhou... Lin Feng thought for a moment. Suddenly he thought of something and asked Xia Xungong, "I wonder if Brother Xia often leaves Anyang County in these years?"

Xia Xungong shook his head and said: "Dalang's main task is to study, and before the first year of Zhenguan, the world was still at war and not very stable, so I didn't let him walk around. When he went to Luzhou, Your Majesty ascended the throne. The world is truly stable, and it is the first time that I go out to do things alone.”

"The first time I went out... I only went to Luzhou."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed fiercely, and some doubts that he had been unable to figure out had quietly dissipated at this moment.

"The jade pendant does not belong to anyone in Xiangzhou, but the mysterious man's first target was Xia Haohan in Xiangzhou. Judging from the way Xia Haohan left, it must have been premeditated. In other words, they must have crossed paths. It is impossible. It was a random killing..."

"Xia Haohan usually stays in Xiangzhou and only went to Luzhou once two months before the incident. After returning from Luzhou, he suddenly changed the bed that accommodated four people. According to Chen Miao, it was for the purpose of sexual intercourse with women. , but two months later, before being killed, he said unwilling words to Chen Miao, and showed abnormal behavior that was not close to women in the brothel. In addition, he was full of confidence in Luzhou's business before, and after his death, Xia The business failed completely again... These contradictions and huge differences can only prove one thing..."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curled up. The originally clueless and confusing details of Xia Haohan's murder case were finally revealed to him at this moment.

"The reason why Xia Haohan was killed was in Luzhou!"

"His intersection with the mysterious man was also in Luzhou!"

At this moment, Sun Fujia didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Feng with excitement on his face, saying: "Zide, Luzhou! He has only been to Luzhou! And before and after Extremely obvious..."

When Lin Feng saw Sun Fujia's expression, he knew that Sun Fujia had thought of the key point just like him.

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's in Luzhou!"

Sun Fuga said: "That's great. After the Xia family merchants arrive, maybe we can know what happened through Xia Haohan's whereabouts in Luzhou."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and at the same time, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Besides, we also have another way. We can do it directly without waiting."

"What?" Sun Fuga was startled.

Lin Feng said slowly: "Xia Haohan met the mysterious man in Luzhou, but his death happened in Anyang County, Dr. Sun. What does this mean?"

Sun Fujia frowned and was still deep in thought. In order not to waste time, Lin Feng said, "Explain...the mysterious man must have come to Anyang County from Luzhou within those two months."

"And it can be seen from the jade pendant that he is not from Xiangzhou."

"So, when he comes to Anyang County from other places, he must register at the transit place (Tang Dynasty Road Guide), and these transit places need to be registered and inspected by the county government, which means..."

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia, his deep eyes filled with sparkling light: "The Yamen must have records. If we can find out from the Yamen who went to Anyang County from other places for detention within two months before the incident, Records, and from the records, I found out that the person with the surname Chen is from a wealthy family..."

"Then this person, if nothing unexpected happens..."

Sun Fujia's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Lin Feng, his whole body filled with excitement and excitement.

Lin Feng faced Sun Fujia's excited expression, smiled softly, and said slowly: "He is the mysterious man!"
