People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 29 I know who the arsonist is!

When he arrived at the office of Zhou Ran, the imperial censor in the palace, Lin Feng saw a fat middle-aged man pacing back and forth next to Zhao Shishi.

Seeing the arrival of Lin Feng and Sun Fujia, Zhou Ran quickly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Dr. Sun... This is Lin Feng who solved the haunted case in the palace. I have long admired his name."

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Ran, who looked like a familiar social master, with questions on his forehead.

Isn't this style of painting right?

In a place like Yushitai, he subconsciously felt that everyone should be like Wei Zheng, not to mention having a straight face every day, but also being serious and not joking.

The Zheng Feng just now looked bitter and resentful.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran in front of him had a completely different expression.

It seems that I am also preconceived and influenced by empiricism...

Lin Feng quickly brushed aside his prejudice against Yushitai and handed over to Zhou Ran.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Zhou Ran was so enthusiastic about him, so naturally he would not be cold-faced.

If Zhou Tian is not an arsonist, then if we get along well, maybe he will become one of his connections in the future.

"I've kept Yushi Zhou waiting for a long time," Lin Feng said.

Zhou Ran shook his head hurriedly: "In the near future, as long as the case can be solved and the arsonist is caught, that will be better than anything else."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Yushi Zhou is right."

He turned around and looked at the office in front of him and said, "Which one is Zhou Yushi's office?"

Zhou Ran pointed to the second room on the west side and said, "There."

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Let's go to Zhou Yushi's office and have a look."

"Please!" Zhou Ran said without hesitation or coyness at all.

Under the enthusiastic leadership of Zhou Ran, Lin Feng and others entered his office.

This office room has no special features. Like the office room in Taiyuan, it is a standard room with four desks.

Even the mud on the ground is the same as the mud in Wu Minxing's office.

Lin Feng didn't know how to complain. After all, there were three organizations, couldn't there be some differences?
Zhou Ran came to the table by the window and said, "This is my table. I worked here last night. Because of the heavy workload, I was prepared to stay up all night."

"Later in the middle of the night, I really couldn't stand it any longer. I was so sleepy that I opened the window and wanted to blow in the wind. I also wanted to learn from those elegant people who admired the moon. If I could get some inspiration, I could write a poem about the moon. Even better.”

"Unexpectedly, I stared at the moon for a long time and still didn't say a word."

To have such ambition... Lin Feng was greatly admired.

"However, even though no poem about chanting the moon came out, during this period, I saw two colleagues passing by here one after another."

Without Lin Feng asking, Zhou Ran took the initiative to tell everything he did last night and what he discovered.

This made Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. If everyone cooperated like this, the cases in this world would not be so difficult to solve.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Ran's table. His table was tidier than Zheng Feng's table, but still much worse than Wu Minxing's.

The brush was put into the pen holder, but there was still some ink in the inkstone, and there was quite a lot of it.

The books and papers are stacked together and not so scattered.

Lin Feng looked from the table to the window. The view here was excellent and he could indeed clearly see the situation on the road.

"Tell me about the situation at that time." Lin Feng said.

Zhou Ran said: "Probably not long after Chou Shi... I heard the sound of the clock, and not long after that, I saw Wu Yushi walking past my window."

"Which direction did he go?"

"The east side is the direction of the file room."

"Just went to the file room? Didn't come back?"

"came back."

Zhou Ran said: "He came back in less than a quarter of an hour."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully: "Is there anything wrong with him going and coming back?"

Zhou Ran shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this."

"What about Zheng Yushi?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Zhou Ran said: "It was only a quarter of an hour after Yushi Wu came back that Zheng Yushi passed by me and walked to the east."

"Then a short while later, I suddenly heard shouting. I quickly ran out to take a look. Then I saw the light of fire and learned about the fire in the file room."

"A short while?" Lin Feng asked, "How long does a short while mean?"

Zhou Ran thought for a while and said, "It's not too long, only half a quarter of an hour."

Half an hour, that is to say less than 8 minutes...

Lin Feng put his hands together and circled his thumbs back and forth. This was a subconscious move using his brain.

The corresponding picture quickly appeared in his brain at this moment.

According to Zhou Ran's description, the order of several people and the chain of clues gradually emerged and began to be combined.

He thought for a while and said: "Before Yushi Zheng passed by, and in the quarter of an hour after Yushi Wu left, could you see any other people?"

Zhou Ran shook his head: "That's not true...but maybe I ignored it. I poured myself a glass of water in the middle and didn't look outside."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Has Yushi Zhou been working here all the time tonight? Have you never gone out?"

"That's not true, I've been out there too."

Zhou Ran made no secret: "At Haishi, a colleague sent me a dossier, which I needed to handle official duties. I went out to get the dossier once, and I never went out again."

"Sending you the dossier...can I ask who sent it to you?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Zhou Ran smiled. Because he was a little fat, his eyes narrowed into slits: "It's not something that can't be said...it's the supervisory censor Qin Mo. He and I are responsible for the same task, but I am responsible for the censorship." He is responsible for organizing the information at the station and running around outside."

"Tonight at Haishi, he just came back from running outside. Because Agent Wei had to complete the task as soon as possible, so he didn't dare to delay at all and gave me the file."

Lin Feng sighed: "You guys are working really hard."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "As censors, this is our duty. There is nothing hard or hard."

This is simply a role model for employees. Lin Feng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

He thought for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Ran yawning continuously, he said, "Thank you very much for your cooperation, Censor Zhou. Censor Zhou has had a hard night, so he should go and rest first."

Zhou Ran smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Lin is working hard. If you have anything, you can ask me at any time."

With that said, he turned around and left with the Yamen servant.

Sun Fuga hurriedly asked: "How is it, Zide? Is there anything gained?"

Zhao Shiwu also hurriedly looked at his adoptive father.

Lin Feng rubbed his forehead and said, "How is his reputation?"

Sun Fuga said: "He is friendly and diligent, so many people are willing to come to him if they want to come to Yushitai for business."

Lin Feng thought about Zhou Ran's enthusiasm and initiative, nodded and said, "He is indeed kind enough."

He turned around and walked out, saying: "Let's go, let's meet Wu Yushi at last."......

Lin Feng met Wu Minxing in the lounge.

It's called a lounge, but it's actually a room with three beds, a table and a few stools.

Apart from that, there isn't even a cabinet.

Simple doesn't work.

At most, I can sleep.

Lin Feng sat on the stool and looked at Wu Minxing.

Wu Minxing's official robe was a little wrinkled, his hair was a little messy, and there seemed to be a leaf on the tip of his hair... It seemed that he was really attentive when putting out the fire.

He was holding a jade pendant with a rope in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and he looked a little embarrassed and nervous.

Zhou Ran, who was full of enthusiasm and smile, were two extremes.

Lin Feng looked at Wu Minxing and said, "Wu Yushi, don't be nervous, we are just chatting casually."

Wu Minxing took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Lin Feng looked at the jade pendant Wu Minxing was holding tightly and asked curiously: "Wu Yushi likes jade?"

Wu Minxing was confused for a moment, then understood. He quickly shook his head: "No."

"What about your jade pendant?"

"This..." Wu Minxing said, "I'm just occasionally interested."

"Can I take a look?"

Wu Minxing hesitated for a moment, then handed the jade pendant to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the jade pendant. The jade pendant was very clear and slightly warm in his hand. It could be seen that the material was very good, but there was something sticky on it.

A few words are engraved on it.

On the front is: "Wen Cheng Wude".

The reverse side is: "Healthy and smooth".

Lin Feng looked at the jade pendant, then at Wu Minxing, and said with a smile: "Wu Yushi, your jade pendant has a very good meaning."

Wu Minxing pursed his lips and said immediately: "It's just a good sign."

Lin Feng nodded: "I understand."

He looked at the jade pendant again, then returned it to Wu Minxing and said, "Okay, let's get started... Wu Yushi, please tell me what you did tonight."

Wu Minxing held the jade pendant while lowering his head and said: "Before midnight, I had been handling official affairs in the office. Around midnight, I finally finished handling the official affairs."

"Because there was a curfew outside, I couldn't go home to rest, so I came here to rest."

"But not long after I fell asleep, my stomach suddenly hurt, so I quickly got up and went to the toilet."

Lin Feng said: "Toilet?"

Wu Minxing said: "There are no toilets near us. The nearest toilet is in the woods in front of the file room."

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fuga, who nodded: "That's right."

Wu Minxing continued: "I don't know if I caught a cold or had a bad stomach, but it took me a while after I came out."

"After using the toilet, I went back to the lounge to rest, and I didn't come out again... It wasn't until I heard someone shouting that the water was gone, that I went out to check the situation."

"Did anyone see you going to the latrine?" Lin Feng asked.

Wu Minxing shook his head: "It's already late at night, how can I meet anyone."

"But when I went to the latrine, I heard several very scary sounds, like babies crying. I was shocked."

"Then I quickly followed the sound and found a cat in the moon."

Zhao Shiwu was stunned: "Is there a cat in the moon?"

"no!"

Wu Minxing hurriedly said: "I made a mistake. There is a kitten standing on the tree, and behind the kitten is the moon, so at first glance, it looks like there is a cat in the moon."

"The cat was trapped in the tree and couldn't get down. After going to the toilet, I climbed the tree and brought the cat down."

"It's not..."

Wu Minxing pointed to his official robe: "I didn't think much about it at the time, but when I got down from the tree, I discovered that the official robe had a small tear."

Lin Feng looked around, and sure enough, there was a small hole in the leg.

He thought Wu Minxing was working too hard to put out the fire, but it turned out he was climbing trees.

The leaves in her hair can prove this.

Wu Minxing said: "Maybe other people also saw the cat, or Zheng Yushi passed by later and heard the cat meowing."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "How does Wu Yushi know that after you, Zheng Yushi also passed by?"

Wu Minxing said directly: "They talked about it casually when we were fighting the fire."

Lin Feng could imagine that scene.

Wu Minxing said, when I pulled the daddy just now, it wasn't on fire yet, why is it burning now?

Zhou Ran said: I saw you two passing by, you are suspicious.

Zheng Feng and Wu Minxing shook their heads at the same time: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "I will ask someone to ask about the cat... and one more thing. When Wu Yushi was in the office, did he notice anyone walking outside?"

Wu Minxing shook his head: "I didn't pay attention."

"Did Yushi Wu leave the office last night when he was doing official business?"

"Well... I also went to the hut twice when I was doing official business."

I can see that your stomach is really uncomfortable... Lin Feng nodded. He looked at Wu Minxing and saw that Wu Minxing still hadn't relaxed. He was still holding the jade pendant tightly and keeping his head lowered.

Lin Feng tapped his fingertips on the table twice, and then smiled: "Wu Yushi, please go rest."

Wu Minxing took a deep breath and left.

After Wu Minxing left, Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fujia couldn't wait to look at Lin Feng. Zhao Shiwu said: "Father, this is the last one, how about it?"

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "How is Wu Yushi's reputation?"

Sun Fujia said: "Wu Yushi has the style of Wei Gong. He has a clean and elegant style. He is diligent and thrifty, very simple, and his evaluation is higher than that of Zheng Yushi."

Lin Feng heard this and thought for a long time.

Immediately, he picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of cold water. After drinking a glass of cold water, he finally felt comfortable.

He put the cup down with a slap and said, "I already know who set the fire!"
