People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 189 The mystery is solved! The truth is coming!

Looking at the excited Du Gou, Lin Feng smiled softly. It was enough to show how much pressure the mysterious man put on Du Gou, who was a humble gentleman. It was also enough to show how much he believed that he could find a breakthrough for him. Happy.

Only those who truly regard themselves as friends will be sincerely happy that they have overcome difficulties.

Lin Feng said: "The Chen family in Luzhou should be the family of the mysterious man. However, we don't know much about Luzhou. However, the Xia family has been running a business in Luzhou for a period of time. Although they were forced to withdraw in the end, we can think of dealing with Luzhou." The big family in the state should know about it, so if you ask him, you should be able to know the situation of the Chen family."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Du Gou quickly turned around and asked Xia Xungong without any hesitation.

After a while, he returned and said to Lin Feng: "The head of the Xia family said that there are two Chen families in Luzhou, and they are not bad in strength. However, he has not had much contact with these two Chen families, so he does not know what the jade pendant represents. Which one could it be, the Chen family?"

Lin Feng nodded. Although he was a little surprised, it was not unacceptable. After all, Xia Xungong had said before that there were more big families in Luzhou and the situation was more complicated. But he didn't expect that there were actually two big families with the same surname.

"Although it is impossible to know which Chen family it is, it should be certain that the mysterious person comes from the Chen family in Luzhou. Therefore, Duke Lai Guo, you directly ordered someone to take the rubbing pattern of this jade pendant and go to Luzhou. If you ask, you should be able to know which Chen family it is."

Du Gou frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to go back and forth in two days..."

He looked at Lin Feng with some worry: "You may not be able to return at the time you need."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I have other ideas about this case, and the things I asked you to do are actually not just these... I asked you to send people to Luzhou to investigate. When we come back, we will have more sufficient evidence to verify each other.”

Seeing that Lin Feng still looked confident, Du Gou let go of his worry and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Du Gou immediately turned around and gave instructions to the guards.

The guard took the rubbing pattern of the jade pendant, turned around and left quickly without any hesitation.

Du Gou took a deep breath and said to Lin Feng: "The identity of the mysterious man cannot be hidden at all. He will be exposed in three to five days at the latest... But what we lack most now is time. Can we do it within today?" Finding him is the most important thing."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is also the main reason why I came to you. Do you remember what I just said that I want you to investigate a list?"

Du Gou's eyes flashed slightly: "What list?"

Lin Feng said: "Isn't Mr. Lai Guo curious why Xia Haohan might have gotten the mysterious man's family heirloom jade pendant, but the mysterious man killed him again?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Du Gou frowned and said: "It's really strange. Logically speaking, this kind of family heirloom jade pendant represents a woman's feelings. Since she gave it to Xia Haohan, she also loves her, and Xia Haohan has decided to set up in Luzhou. The Xia family's property is established, and if the relationship between the two hadn't been confirmed, he wouldn't have been so confident."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "During the month when Xia Haohan came back from Luzhou, everything was normal. But at that point in the month, he suddenly became unusually unattractive to women, and was in a very bad mood. To the extent that even the concubines are aware of it...as we just deduced, there must be a problem with the relationship between the two."

"So, what could be the problem?"

Du Gou was also frowning and thinking.

Lin Feng looked at Du Gou and said, "When I asked Chen Miao before, Chen Miao told me something."

"He said that when Xia Haohan and he were drunk, he once said something unwilling to accept it - why should he?"

"Why should he?" Du Gou was startled.

Immediately, his eyes widened and he said, "Could it be!?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I didn't understand what this sentence meant before, but if we combine the previous causes, he fell in love with the mysterious person, and there was even the possibility of a private relationship, but in the end there was a problem with the relationship. Then if you think about this sentence again, you will know..."

"Nothing unexpected..." Lin Feng met Du Gou's gaze and said, "A third party has appeared! The mysterious man fell in love with another person, abandoned Xia Haohan, and chose another person!"

Du Gou frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Lin Feng's words.

He had actually speculated like this before. After all, what affects relationships, apart from the family, is other people who get involved.

In terms of family, the mysterious man's family should be somewhat different from the Xia family, either stronger or weaker. Xia Haohan has always concealed this from the Xia family. He did not inform Xia Xungong, nor did the Xia family arrange for a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. It can be seen that Xia Haohan is still a little worried. He is afraid that if he mentions it rashly, the Xia family will object because he is the eldest son, and the marriage must focus on the lintel and the match of the other party's family background.

If other people get involved... let alone if you don't love her, how can you talk about feelings?

It's just that both of these possibilities are possible, and he can't be further sure. But now, with Chen Miao, he can finally be sure.

Du Gou said to Lin Feng: "It seems that the mysterious man has really moved on and is in love with someone else, but if it is just because of this, he will not let the mysterious man kill people, right? After all, it was she who made the mistake, not Xia Haohan?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low tone, giving people a heavy and depressing feeling, "But what if Xia Haohan wants to kill the third person that the mysterious man likes? What if Xia Haohan has already done these things?"

Du Gou's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly looked at Lin Feng: "You mean?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Duke Lai Guo still remembers the article written by Xia Haohan, right?"

"According to what Xia Xungong said, Xia Haohan should not have written such a radical article, and should not have been so forceful towards scholars..."

Du Gou is also a smart man. After being prompted by Lin Feng, he quickly understood what Lin Feng meant. He said: "What you mean is... that he controls the scholars for the Xia family is false, but taking the opportunity to retaliate is true. In other words..."

Du Gou took a deep breath and said in surprise: "The third person who robbed the mysterious man is a scholar from Anyang County!?"

Under Du Gou's surprised gaze, Lin Feng nodded slightly: "At least judging from the clues we have obtained so far, this possibility is the highest. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the eldest son of the Xia family, who has always been very calm and calm, would have such a problem. Such a radical performance is not even radical anymore, it has exceeded the capabilities of the Xia family and the bottom line of the court."

Du Gou's eyes flickered and he frowned in thought.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Miao in the distance and said slowly: "In my opinion, Xia Haohan is a qualified heir. In the Xia Mansion, he restrained himself and restored etiquette, abided by the rules, was calm and hardworking, and Xia Xungong, his Regardless of the concubine, his evaluation is not bad."

"However, Chen Miao said that Xia Haohan, like him, is a suave, humorous person... Chen Miao's evaluations are completely different from those of other members of the Xia family. What does this mean? And the head of the Xia family is such a rule-abiding person. Seeing my son taking Chen Miao to a brothel to have fun, and not showing that Xia Haohan was wrong, what does that mean?"

Du Gou frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lin Feng and said in surprise: "It means that Xia Haohan is deliberately trying to please Chen Miao. He will turn himself into whoever Chen Miao likes. The head of the Xia family knows the truth. Of course I don’t blame Chen Miao.”

"Then why did Xia Haohan do this?"

"The Chen family is stronger than the Xia family. The Xia family has been working hard to strengthen the family. Naturally, they will not let go of the big tree of the Chen family." Du Gou is the son of Du Ruhui and was taught these things by Du Ruhui when he was young. So I am very knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, Chen Miao, a careless guy, can't see it. It only proves that Xia Haohan has sacrificed a lot for the Xia family. It also proves that Xia Haohan is very thoughtful, very calm, and very tolerant... Otherwise, most people wouldn’t be able to do what he does.”

"So, Xia Haohan, who was so calm and tolerant, wrote this kind of article that was completely beyond the capabilities of the Xia family and challenged the bottom line of the court on the eve of his death... Apart from being blinded by hatred, I can't think of the second possibility. "

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Gou paced back and forth for a moment, then stopped, looked at Lin Feng and said: "It's reasonable and well-founded, it must be so!"

Lin Feng saw Du Gou agreeing with him, smiled and nodded, and said: "Then, we can be sure that the third party who snatched away the mysterious man must be the scholar he wanted to target... So, if we can get the information from six years ago, The list of scholars in Anyang County is still a list of scholars from ordinary families, so the third person who stole the mysterious man must be among them."

"And the mysterious person came to Anyang County, not surprisingly, to find a third person. The third person is an ordinary person, and the mysterious person is the eldest lady of a big family. When such a eldest lady goes to an ordinary family, someone will definitely pay attention. If we can find the third party and ask the third party’s family or neighbors, we may be able to directly know the identity of the mysterious person!”

Du Gou's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said: "Because studying is a very expensive thing, and it will directly eliminate an important labor force, and few ordinary people can afford it, so the number of such scholars is not large, and In order to expand their circle, visit famous teachers, and exchange articles, these scholars will definitely gather frequently..."

"I can find it!" Du Gou suddenly said: "Leave it to me, and I will get you this list within half a day."

Since Lin Feng asked Du Gou to search for it, he naturally knew that this matter would not be beyond Du Gou's ability. He nodded and said, "Then it's all thanks to Duke Lai."

Hearing this, Du Gou said directly without saying a word: "I will handle this matter personally. After finding out the list, I will immediately order people to go to their homes to inquire and get the results as quickly as possible."

Du Gou had such a temperament, he was decisive and straightforward. Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Du Gou nodded solemnly, turned around and left without any further delay.

Watching Du Gou's leaving figure, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief again. Sun Fujia went to the county government to investigate the list of scholars, Du Gou went to investigate the list of scholars, and someone went to Luzhou to determine the ownership of the jade pendant... pointing to the path of the mysterious man. He has already walked out of Sanjo.

But the enemy was a member of the Four Elephants Organization, who was cunning and extremely cautious. To be on the safe side, Lin Feng decided to continue investigating the case to prevent the mysterious person from using some anti-tracing methods to avoid being traced.

At this time, Xia Xungong came over and said: "Lin Sizheng, the businessman who followed Dalang to Luzhou is here."

After hearing Xia Xungong's words, Lin Feng quickly calmed down. He turned his head and saw a chubby middle-aged man standing behind Xia Xungong. The man's clothes were of good quality and he was bowing in salute with a smile on his face. He smiled nervously.

"Young man Zhao Qing, I have met Lin Si Zheng." The fat businessman saluted respectfully.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "Tell me what Xia Haohan did after he went to Luzhou."

Zhao Qing said quickly: "Back to Linsi Zheng, after the young master arrived in Luzhou, he first went to the most prosperous shops in Luzhou to see their business and management methods, and at the same time he went to inquire about the owners behind these shops."

"Then, the young master went to the most popular restaurant, listened to the conversations of the drinkers, learned about the situation in Luzhou, and did a thorough investigation."

Lin Feng nodded. It seemed that Xia Haohan had a plan.

"Then what?" he asked.

Zhao Qing continued: "After confirming that Luzhou is suitable for business, the young master also inquired about the owners behind the shops. Then, as the eldest son of the Xia family, the young master went to submit invitations and visit."

"The young master would like to first learn more about the major families in Luzhou to see who is close to the Xia family and who has a bad attitude towards him, so as to choose a family that can cooperate with the Xia family and then communicate further."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart moved and he asked, "Among the families your young master visited, is there a family surnamed Chen?"

Zhao Qing thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "Yes, the young masters of the two Chen families have visited us."

"What's the result?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Qingdao: "The attitude is average, not overly familiar, but there is no obvious resistance."

This is normal. If you resist too much at the beginning or act too enthusiastic, then there is a problem... Lin Feng said: "What does your young master think of these two families?"

Zhao Qing said: "The young master said that as long as he doesn't act too indifferent, he can continue to interact with them. If the Xia family wants to enter Luzhou, it is necessary to have contact with these families. If the relationship is better now, it will be easier in the future."

"So the young master has been to each of these two families several times."

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Everyone is gone?"

"Yes."

"Has your young master visited more times? Which one has he been to?"

"This..." Zhao Qing shook his head: "It seems not. The young master has a certain frequency to visit, and the number of visits is almost the same for each family."

If every family is the same, then how did Xia Haohan develop a relationship with the mysterious person? No, for a normal visit, they would definitely not let their daughter entertain a strange man...

Lin Feng realized that he was going in the wrong direction, and he said, "Your young master is in Luzhou. Have you ever gone out alone, or participated in any poetry gatherings?"

Zhao Qing looked at Lin Feng with a surprised look on his face: "How did Lin Sizheng know? My young master did go to a poetry meeting, because the poetry meeting was held by young ladies from local big families... The young master did go out alone several times. But the young master said he was visiting Luzhou normally and didn’t let us follow him, so we don’t know exactly where the young master went.”

"Did he leave alone after the poetry meeting, or before the poetry meeting?"

Zhao Qing thought for a long time before saying, "After the poetry meeting, there were almost five times in total."

Sure enough... Zhao Qing's words further verified Lin Feng's speculation. It seemed that Xia Haohan met the mysterious person at the poetry meeting.

Xia Haohan studied hard. In order to study quietly, he did not even decorate his study room, and he was also very serious about his study. It can be seen that his knowledge is definitely not bad, so he is likely to become a blockbuster at the poetry meeting, and then win the title of Mysterious Person. favor.

After that, they met alone several times. Judging from Xia Haohan's ability to deceive Chen Miao into treating him as a biological brother, it is not difficult to win a woman's heart. Therefore, when they are reluctant to separate, exchanging tokens of love is completely satisfactory. It's possible.

Although Zhao Qing didn't give him much help, he completely helped him restore Xia Haohan's situation in Luzhou, helped him determine the contact process between Xia Haohan and the mysterious man, and helped him complete the puzzle of their acquaintance.

As for the third party, Du Gou was there to help him investigate. Then... the next step was to investigate the situation on the night of the crime.

Xia Haohan left because of Chen Miao's arrival. Everything after that had nothing to do with the Xia family, so the next step was to go to the two most important places that night.

Chunmanlou and the crime scene.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Miao and said, "Lead the way to Chunmanlou!"

…………

Chunmanlou is the only brothel in Anyang County, and its business is very prosperous.

But it was daytime at this time, and the girls who had worked hard all night were resting. It was rare for Chunmanlou to be quiet.

"This is the room."

The brothel's madam smiled cautiously and opened the door to the room.

As soon as Lin Feng entered the room, he smelled a faint fragrance. The fragrance was not pungent. As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was not cheap gouache.

The room is not big, but it is well decorated. The floor is carpeted, and the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings. There are also some musical instruments against the wall, including guzheng and pipa. There is even a small bookshelf on one side. There are books on it.

At first glance, I thought I was entering the study room of some lady.

Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Looking at the professionalism of people in this era, they are almost useless at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

He came to the window and stood by the window. He could clearly hear the sounds of people walking on the street outside. Lin Feng said, "This room faces the street?"

Chen Miao nodded: "Yes, this is the most peripheral room."

After listening to Chen Miao's words, Lin Feng looked out the window, thought for a while, and said, "Every time you come to Chunmanlou, do you come here?"

Chen Miao said: "Absolutely. There are only a few of the best rooms in Chunman Building. In addition, the two of us have to compete, so naturally we have to stay aside. Otherwise, other rooms will hear the sound and we will feel ashamed and have no fun. If you are happy, it will be bad.”

Are you really considerate of other people... Lin Feng looked at the charming woman behind the madam and said, "You were the one accompanying Xia Haohan that night?"

The woman had a pink face and rosy cheeks, and her eyes seemed to be enchanting. She looked at Lin Feng timidly, nodded and said, "It's the slave family."

Lin Feng put his hands behind his back and said with a serious face: "It's time to get off work now. There's no need to show your attitude at work. Just relax."

woman:"?"

"Cough cough."

Lin Feng coughed twice and said, "Tell me about the situation that night."

Although six years have passed, Xia Haohan is not an ordinary person after all. In addition, the government has interrogated him many times, so the woman's memory is still very clear. She said: "After Mr. Xia chose the slave family that night, he entered the room with the slave family."

"Then the slave family said that they would play a piece for Master Xia, but Master Xia did not let him play the zither. He asked the slave family to play the 'Shakuhachi' for him, but the slave family had not learned the 'Shakuhachi', and Master Xia was a little unhappy. , let the servants take a bath."

"Shakuhachi? Fortunately, I visited a museum in my previous life and know what a shakuhachi is." Lin Feng knew that the shakuhachi was the Dongxiao. In the Tang Dynasty, the flute was named after its length of one shakuhachi.

"Speaking of Shakuhachi..." Chen Miao suddenly said at this time: "Hain Temple, I remembered that when I asked my brother's widow just now, they said that after my brother came back from Luzhou, he not only built that big bed, but also They were also asked to play the shakuhachi.”

"They don't know how to do it. He even asked a master to teach them. But before they could learn it, Brother Xia drove away the master who taught the flute."

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed. He instantly turned his head to look at Chen Miao and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Chen Miao shrank her neck: "I didn't think it was important. After all, you asked me to ask about the bed..."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He suddenly looked at the woman and said, "Did you hear the sound of the shakuhachi when you were taking a bath that night?"

The woman looked at Lin Feng in surprise and said, "How did Lin Sizheng know?"

"Because the slave was disliked by Mr. Natsu because he couldn't play the shakuhachi, so when the sound of the shakuhachi was heard later, the slave was very concerned about it and vowed in his heart that he must learn the shakuhachi and never let the guests down."

Based on your service attitude, you and I are not the first to disagree... Lin Feng said: "Do you know where that sound came from? Who played it?"

The woman shook her head: "I don't know about this slave family. Maybe it was played by one of the sisters."

Lin Feng's brain was running rapidly, and he quickly said: "When Xia Haohan left, was it when the shakuhachi's voice sounded?"

The woman thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "It's true, not long after the sound sounded, the slave family heard the door open, and then the slave family called Mr. Xia again, but there was no response."

At this moment, Xia Xungong, the head of the Xia family who followed Lin Feng, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Could it be...could this be the reason why Dalang left for no reason?"

He glared at the brothel and said: "The government came to ask you before, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Pin Guan was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale: "The Nu family thought it was the other sisters playing and didn't take it seriously... Who would have thought that Young Master Xia would leave because of this sound."

Lin Feng said to Xia Xungong: "Master Xia, there is no need to be angry. She is not a professional prison officer. It is normal for her to be unable to distinguish evidence and clues..."

Of course, Pinguan couldn't tell what was normal, but the yamen investigating the case at the time didn't guide them out, so that was the yamen's dereliction of duty.

However, ancient investigation methods were limited and their experience was limited. Their favorite thing was torture... So Lin Feng was not surprised by this.

"After Xia Haohan returned from Luzhou, he asked his concubines to learn flute. It seems that the mysterious person he fell in love with should be good at this."

"And here in the brothel, he heard the sound of the flute..."

Lin Feng looked out the window: "This is facing the street. If someone is playing the flute outside, you will definitely hear it in the quiet night. Since Xia Haohan cares about the sound of the flute, he will definitely come here to check..."

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the woman and said, "After Xia Haohan's accident, were there any holes in the window paper in your room?"

The woman said: "There is indeed a hole, but I don't know when it appeared."

Lin Feng was completely determined.

Xia Haohan and Chen Miao are both children of big families. They will definitely choose the best rooms when they come to the brothel. Coupled with the competition between the two, it is almost certain to choose the room on the side. Therefore, Xia Haohan can be predicted in advance. Vast will live here.

If at this time, Xia Haohan is played outside by playing the flute, and then Xia Haohan sees the person he has always been dreaming about, he will definitely chase him out without hesitation...

"Finally, the mystery surrounding Xia Haohan's departure has been solved. The only thing left is the last bit...murder!"

Lin Feng turned to look at Xia Xungong and said, "Master Xia, please take me to the place where the crime occurred."

…………

The crime occurred in a dilapidated courtyard.

There are also empty houses on the left and right, because someone died here, and this already dilapidated street has fewer people.

Lin Feng walked into the courtyard, looked at the withered grass all over the courtyard, and said slowly: "The courtyard has been empty for the past six years?"

Xia Xungong said in a deep voice: "Dalang had an accident here, and there was no progress in the Yamen, so in order to leave a hope and prevent others from destroying this place, I have bought it, and usually lock the door tightly to prevent anyone from destroying it." People enter.”

Lin Feng recalled the deserted streets and other houses that had been uninhabited for many years. He wanted to say that even if you didn't buy it, no one would come... But he could understand Xia Xungong, a man who had lost his beloved son. Father, when the real culprit cannot be found, the only thing he can do seems to be to preserve the scene and wait for someone to find out the truth one day.

"Were the surrounding houses uninhabited six years ago?" Lin Feng asked.

Xia Xungong nodded: "Yes, this is where poor people live. When Anyang County experienced war many years ago, many people fled to other places to escape the war and never came back. This also caused many people here to live. There is no one left.”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

He came here directly from Chunman Building. It can be said that Chunman Building is not too close to here, and there are several dilapidated courtyards with no homes like this one on the way.

So...why did the murderer choose to kill Xia Haohan here?

In terms of distance, there are obviously shorter and better yards to choose from, so why do we have to do it here?

Is there anything special about this yard?

Lin Feng looked around the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was covered with weeds, the house was half collapsed, and there were some abandoned farm tools in the courtyard. Other than that, there was a dry well standing there alone.

There was nothing unique about the entire courtyard, whether it was dilapidated or desolate.

"Why did you choose this place..."

Lin Feng was meditating as he came to the dry well.

Xia Xungong pointed to a location in front of the dry well and said, "This is where Dalang died tragically."

Even after six years and even without any markings, Xia Xungong found the exact location of Xia Haohan's death at a glance.

Lin Feng recalled the records in the file. At that time, Xia Haohan's feet were facing the dry well and he was lying on his back on the cold ground.

His clothes were not much messy, there were two stab wounds on his heart, and there were two incoherent horizontal and vertical marks on his forehead...

"According to experience, for a serial murderer, his first murder is definitely the most special, the one that best reflects his state of mind and his purpose... But when he kills too many people, he becomes numb. , then killing is likely to become a habit and instinct, and it may not be reflected in the state of mind."

"In other words, the mysterious man's first crime here is definitely very special!"

Looking at the dry well and recalling the pattern on his forehead, Lin Feng's eyes deepened slightly: "On the ship, the sailors who were killed all had their feet facing the mast, because on the ship, the choices were extremely limited, and here, she was It was premeditated, so the deceased’s feet were facing the dry well...Does this mean that the real murderer mistook the mast for a dry well?”

"The two horizontal and two vertical marks on the foreheads of the deceased are indeed the character 'Well'!"

"That is to say..."

Lin Feng stood by the well, staring at the well in front of him with his dark eyes, and slowly said to himself: "Wells are very important in the hearts of mysterious people!"

"There is even a possibility... that the mysterious man would choose this yard to attack because of this well..."

Lin Feng immediately turned to look at Xia Xungong and said, "When you were investigating, was there anyone who went down to the bottom of the well to investigate?"

Xia Xungong nodded: "There were government officials who went there, but there was nothing inside."

Is there really nothing, or is there something, but it has not been discovered...

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then looked directly at Zhao Shiwu and said: "Fifteen, prepare the rope, I want to go down."

Zhao Shiwu said: "Father, it's better for me to go down."

Lin Feng shook his head: "You don't know what is important and what is not important. It may not be useful if you go down."

Seeing Lin Feng say this, Zhao Shishi thought for a while and could only nod.

He quickly prepared a rope for Lin Feng, tied it tightly, and said, "Father, it's okay."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, took a deep breath, grabbed the rope and slid down the dry well without any delay.

Soon, he fell to the bottom of the well.

The well had not been used for many years and there was no water at all.

Because of the falling dust, it was covered with an extremely thick layer of dust.

Lin Feng looked at the well wall first and saw that the well wall was very smooth and covered with dust, as if to represent the passage of time.

Lin Feng thought for a while and wiped the dust on the well wall with his sleeve. At this time, his eyes flashed.

He squatted down, picked up his sleeves and wiped an area emphatically. Then he saw that there were many messy scratches on the wall of the well.

Judging from the scratches, they should have been made with stones.

But there is no complete handwriting, just writing randomly as if to vent.

Lin Feng's fingertips fell on the scratches, feeling the unevenness of the scratches, as if experiencing the chaotic and angry state of mind of the person who made these scratches.

He pondered for a while, then lowered his head and looked at his feet.

I saw many stones at the bottom of the well, and large and small stones covered the bottom of the well.

He rubbed the stones open with his shoes and looked carefully, but there was nothing special under the stones. The entire dry well seemed to have nothing special except these scratches.

Lin Feng pursed his lips and was about to give up and return to the ground.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly glanced at the corner of the well.

Lin Feng knelt down, picked up something from the bottom of the well, and looked at it carefully: "Hair?"

He was a little surprised: "It's still two strands of hair tied together."

Lin Feng's hands were covered with dust, and there were two gray strands of hair.

These two strands of hair were tied together. If Lin Feng hadn't had sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Why is there hair?"

Lin Feng frowned, confused, but seeing that the hair was tied together, it definitely wouldn't fall naturally, so why did it appear in this dry well?

Accidentally dropped it?

Or was it thrown down on purpose?

Lin Feng was not sure whether the hair was related to the case, so he temporarily put it in his arms and prepared to return to the ground to think again.

Without further delay, he used the rope to crawl back to the ground.

As soon as he walked out, Xia Xungong hurriedly came over and asked anxiously: "Lin Si Zheng, how are you? Have you found anything?"

Lin Feng frowned and said: "There is indeed something at the bottom of the well, but whether it is related to the case needs further confirmation."

As he spoke, he took out the hair he picked up from the bottom of the well and inspected it.

At this time, Xia Xungong suddenly said: "Lin Sizheng, are you married? Did I remember it wrong?"

Lin Feng was stunned, why did Xia Xungong say this for no reason? He wondered: "Why did the head of the Xia family say this?"

Xia Xungong looked at the hair in Lin Feng's hand and said, "Isn't what you are holding in your hand the hair tied up in the bun ceremony? When the bride and groom are in the bun ceremony, they take a strand of each other's hair and tie it together. Isn’t this what the hair looks like after it’s tied?”

The ceremony of bunting?

The bride and groom’s hair?

Listening to Xia Xungong's words, Lin Feng was like thunder, resounding in his ears.

He suddenly said: "I understand!"

"what?"

Xia Xungong was stunned for a moment.

Then Lin Feng stared at the hair in his hands, his eyes flashing, and said in a deep voice: "I understand the motive of killing!"

"I see!"

"I see!!!"

Xia Xungong was stunned for a moment after listening to Lin Feng's words, and then his eyes widened suddenly. He was about to ask Lin Feng what the motive for the murder was.

Then I heard a voice coming from outside the hospital: "Zide! I found the list! I found the person named Chen!"

Listening to this voice, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly looked around.

Then he saw Sun Fuga getting off his horse and walking quickly towards him.

At the same time, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats. Lin Feng followed the sound and saw Du Gou coming on horseback.

While riding his horse, Du Gou said loudly: "Zi De, the list of scholars has been found!"

Listening to these two voices sounding one after another, Lin Feng let out a long breath.

Suddenly something came to his mind.

It's better to come early than to come by chance. Just when I was trying to figure out the motivation and the most critical issue, the results of Sun Fujia and Du Gou also came!

What could be more appropriate than this!

He even remembered a sentence.

When times come, heaven and earth all work together!

It seems that God wants to help him.

With Sun Fujia's list, Du Gou's list, the hair he just got, the motive he just grasped... the identity of the mysterious man is already ready to be revealed.

And it's not yet past noon, so there's still time!

It’s too late to save someone!
