People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 20: Friendly troops accidentally injured?
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Dai Zhou shouted directly: "Catch her!"

The Qianniu Guards who had already surrounded the shore immediately jumped down.

thump!thump!
Zhao Shiwu also got into the water and swam quickly towards Cuizhu.

Seeing these Qianniu Guards swimming towards her, Cuizhu had no expression on her face. She just looked at Lin Feng coldly, her voice no longer coquettish: "Lin Feng, do you know that the slave family is very afraid of pain?"

She said she was afraid of pain, but at the same time as she spoke, she directly held the golden hairpin and stabbed it towards her thigh without hesitation!

Blood immediately gushed out, and the area of ​​the lake she was in was dyed red.

This scene made Dai Zhou frown, and Sun Fuga didn't know why.

Isn’t Cuizhu going to commit suicide?

Why did you stab yourself in the thigh?

Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, but saw that Lin Feng was also frowning. He obviously couldn't understand why Cuizhu, a crazy woman, was so crazy.

Lin Feng's brain was running rapidly. Cuizhu, this woman, was very cunning. Every word she said and everything she did must have a reason.

They say they are afraid of pain, but they are crazy about self-harm...

Her current act of self-mutilation must be for some purpose.

"Don't let her succeed!"

Lin Feng yelled: "Zhao Shiwu, be stronger and stop her!"

When Zhao Shiwu heard his adoptive father's call in the lake, he gritted his teeth and fought directly.

He plunged into the lake suddenly and couldn't get out. He swam desperately under the water.

He was about to reach Cuizhu.

"Damn!"

Cuizhu didn't expect that Zhao Shiwu would come to her so quickly. She raised her head and stared at Lin Feng with a cold and sad voice: "Lin Feng, I'm dead, how long do you think you can live? You shouldn't live. Yes, you should have just waited for death! That was your fate!"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "I shouldn't have lived... You seem to know me very well."

Cuizhu ignored Lin Feng. She looked at Dai Zhou again and suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid of pain, very scared, so I want to torture me... in the next life!"

puff!
Without any hesitation, Jin Chai pierced his own throat.

Blood suddenly flew out.

Seeing this bloody scene, Changle was stunned for a moment, and then screamed.

Lin Feng grabbed Chang Le's arm and turned Chang Le to his back. At the same time, he blocked Chang Le's sight and said, "Your Highness, she deserves to die for plotting against you and framing Lu'e like this!"

Changle held Lin Feng's arm tightly with both hands and said nothing, just trembling.

At this time, Zhao Shiwu caught Cuizhu, and other Qianniu Guards also arrived. With the combined efforts of everyone, Cuizhu was dragged to the shore.

Dai Zhou quickly walked over. He put his hand in front of Cuizhu's nose, tried his breathing, and then checked Cuizhu's pulse. He then shook his head and said with an ugly face: "Dead."

Sun Fujia also looked bad: "I didn't expect that she would be so decisive. Once she dies, we won't know why she insisted on this golden hairpin."

The chubby Xiao Yu also shook his head and said, "It's a pity. Lin Feng reacted quickly enough, but she is seeking death on her own, and no one can do anything about it."

Lin Feng didn't care about Cuizhu's life or death. He comforted Chang Le and said, "Before she died, she screamed that she was in pain and pricked her legs hard. This is not normal. Check her legs quickly." Any clues?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly looked at Cuizhu's legs.

I saw a bloody wound on Cuizhu's right leg.

This wound was made by Cuizhu himself just before his death.

And next to that wound...

"This is?"

Sun Fujia suddenly said: "It seems to be some kind of pattern."

"pattern?"

When Dai Zhou heard this, he strode over. He squatted down and took a closer look. Sure enough, even though the green bamboo had damaged part of the pattern.

But Zhao Shiwu left so quickly that she didn't have the chance to destroy it all, so she still left part of it.

"What pattern is this?" Dai Zhou frowned. He had never seen this pattern before.

Xiao Yu walked over, took a look, and said thoughtfully: "It seems... something similar to a totem... If my judgment is correct, this looks a bit like the pattern of the white tiger, one of the four elephants."

"White tiger?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhao Shiwu, who was twisting his clothes at the side, suddenly raised his head. He subconsciously moved towards Cuizhu's body and looked at Cuizhu's thighs.

Immediately...

Zhao Shiwu's pupils suddenly shrank, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

It was as if he had seen something so unbelievable that he was stunned.

"Zhao Shiwu...what's wrong?"

Lin Feng happened to see Zhao Shiwu's unusual behavior and asked.

Zhao Shiwu shivered violently all over his body. He shook his head quickly and said, "It's okay, it's nothing."

As he spoke, he hurriedly looked away, lowered his head and twisted his wet clothes again, looking a little distracted.

Lin Feng frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

But he didn't say much. After comforting Chang Le, he walked to Cuizhu to see Cuizhu's condition. "It really is a white tiger pattern."

As soon as he arrived, he heard Sun Fujia, the champion scholar, say: "The damage was so serious that I didn't even recognize it at first."

"But after Xiao Siqing reminded me, I suddenly remembered that I had seen this pattern in an ancient book. This is indeed a method of drawing white tigers."

White tiger?...

Lin Feng looked at the white tiger pattern on Cuizhu's leg and pondered while saying, "She clearly had the intention to die, but she wanted to destroy the pattern before she died. This is enough to show that she didn't want us to recognize the pattern."

"And she has to protect this pattern even to death. This must mean that this pattern has some special meaning."

Dai Zhou asked: "What's the special meaning?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "It may be some kind of identity mark, it may be some kind of spiritual sustenance... There are too few clues, so I can't judge."

Dai Zhou nodded. It was true that there were too few clues, but he had memorized this pattern and would definitely check it out in the future.

Lin Feng looked at the golden hairpin in Cuizhu's hand. Even if she died, she would hold the golden hairpin tightly.

He took off the golden hairpin and inspected it carefully.

The whole body of the hairpin is made of gold, and its color is very bright. The flower on the head of the hairpin is decorated with a lifelike phoenix. The phoenix spreads its wings and is born out of the fire. It looks graceful and luxurious.

No wonder Changle liked it, this golden hairpin was really beautiful.

But if it were just like this...it would never be enough for Cuizhu to get what he planned.

And in the end, he misled them and committed suicide to keep the secret.

"Lin Feng, is there anything special about this golden hairpin?"

Changle asked when he saw Lin Feng inspecting the golden hairpin carefully.

Lin Feng shook his head. He looked at Chang Le and saw that Chang Le's pretty face was a little pale at this time. Cuizhu's crazy look at the end still scared Chang Le.

He said: "I have no research on jewelry such as hairpins, and I can't see any clues about it, but since Cuizhu would rather die for it than say anything, it means that it definitely hides some secrets."

"Your Highness, I suggest you give this golden hairpin to someone else for safekeeping, and don't hold it yourself to avoid being in danger again."

"As Cuizhu said, she definitely has accomplices, and I'm afraid they won't let it go. The day the golden hairpin is in your hands, it will be a disaster."

Chang Le pursed his lips and nodded immediately: "Okay, I will give it to my father. No one can get it from his place."

Lin Feng nodded.

Changle added: "This golden hairpin was presented by an envoy from Nanzhao. Maybe Nanzhao can know something."

Lin Feng looked at Dai Zhou, who said: "I will ask someone to investigate."

Lin Feng stood up and said: "Your Highness, the truth of the case has been revealed. It's getting late. Your Highness, please go to the Queen's place to rest."

Changle really experienced too much tonight and felt very tired. Seeing Lin Feng say this, he nodded and left under the escort of the guards.

Lin Feng stretched his waist. Although the secret of why Cuizhu tried so hard to seize the golden hairpin has not been solved, and the white tiger pattern has new doubts, he has really solved the haunting case. He looked at Dai Zhou and said with a smile: "Dai Shangshu... Look, I have helped you solve the case, what about me?"

Seeing Lin Feng's playful smile, Dai Zhou found it difficult to connect him with the detective who had everything under control just now. He said: "Since I promised you, I will naturally fulfill my promise. I will have Zhao Deshun be transferred to him tomorrow morning." The case file will be sent to you."

A stone suddenly fell in Lin Feng's heart. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Dai Shangshu."

"Then I'll go to the prison and wait."

Just as Lin Feng was about to turn around and return to the prison of the Criminal Department, Dai Zhou suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Lin Feng looked at Dai Zhou suspiciously, only to hear Dai Zhou say: "I heard from Dr. Sun that someone in the prison wants to kill you?"

Lin Feng nodded: "We don't know who it is yet."

"The prison of the Criminal Department is in danger, so don't go to the prison."

He looked at Zhao Shiwu and said: "Zhao Shiwu, take Lin Feng to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, find a room at random, let Lin Feng live there, and then take someone to guard the door..."

Thanks to me, even the accommodation standards have been improved... Lin Feng quickly said: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu!"

Dai Zhou waved his hand and said, "You go ahead, I and Mr. Xiao want to finish things here."

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shiwu and saw that Zhao Shiwu was still a little distracted. He narrowed his eyes, tugged on Zhao Shiwu's arm and said, "Let's go."

The Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

An empty room in the backyard.

Lin Feng pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the spacious and clean room, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt that his efforts throughout the day were not in vain.

Finally, I no longer have to live in that dark and damp dungeon.

Lin Feng sat on the bed and looked at Zhao Shiwu who was silent all the way and peeked at himself many times. He hesitated to speak and said calmly: "There are only you and me here now. I will give you a chance to confess. You can choose to say it or not." explain."

"What?" Zhao Shishi was stunned.

Lin Feng said: "Do you recognize the pattern on Cuizhu's legs? Don't deny it, you can't hide it from my eyes... I can give you a chance, just confess."

When Zhao Shiwu heard this, he was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but said: "Father, are you wrong?"

"what?"

"You should be the one to confess! After all..." Zhao Shiwu looked at Lin Feng steadily: "I have seen this pattern on you before."

"what!??"
