People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 54 Clues in the Prison

Prison prison.

Jiang Hecheng, the governor of Shangzhou, was taken out of his cell.

Jiang Hecheng struggled with a look of despair on his face: "I only have two days left to live, why are you still torturing me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Shiwu kicked Jiang Hecheng into the interrogation room.

Jiang Hecheng struggled to get up and was about to beg for mercy, but suddenly his eyes glanced at the person in front of him, and he was stunned.

"Lin Feng?"

"How will you be here?"

"And why are your clothes not prison uniforms?"

Standing opposite him, with his back to him, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "You can tell at a glance that my clothes are not prison uniforms, Jiang Hecheng. It seems that your observation ability is very keen."

With that said, Lin Feng turned around and looked at Jiang Hecheng.

Jiang Hecheng wondered how Lin Feng could wear normal clothes and frowned: "What's going on?"

Lin Feng looked at him calmly: "I won the opportunity to re-investigate the Zhao Deshun case. If you perform well, there may be other results."

Jiang Hecheng's eyes widened suddenly, filled with excitement: "Really?"

Lin Feng said lightly: "What's the use of lying to you, but before that, I need you to tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, it may cause us to be unable to solve the case, and you will eventually die tragically." .”

Jiang Hecheng nodded quickly: "I said, I will say anything, as long as it can keep me alive, I will say anything."

Dai Zhou had already told Lin Feng that Li Shimin allowed him to re-investigate the case, and Li Shimin gave him ten days to solve the case.

As long as Lin Feng can find out the truth, Li Shimin will consider Lin Feng guilty and meritorious service, and his merits and demerits will be equalized, and his official position will be restored.

Now Sun Fujia was handling matters for him to go to Shangzhou. Before departure, Lin Feng decided to come and see Jiang Hecheng.

Although this dog judge made a wrong verdict, he may not be able to find any useful clues.

Some people and some clues depend on how you ask and how you guide them.

Lin Feng looked at him and said, "Tell me everything you know about the Zhao Deshun case."

Jiang He became a living person, without hiding anything, and spoke out at once.

"...I didn't know that Zhao Deshun was taking the blame for Zhao Minglu. If I had known, I would never have reached this point. I was about to be promoted. How could I let them block my way? It's all their father and son's fault. , what does it have to do with me? I’m innocent too!”

Lin Feng ignored Jiang Hecheng's bitter words. Whether he was innocent or not would be judged by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The content given by Jiang Hecheng was similar to the content of Wei Zheng's files, and there was basically no difference.

But it doesn't matter, that's not what Lin Feng wants to know.

Lin Feng looked at him and suddenly asked: "Zhao Deshun died after being detained for three days. Did you abuse lynching? Did you become greedy after seeing that the Zhao family had a lot of money, and eventually tortured him to death?"

Jiang Hecheng's eyes widened suddenly. He shook his head quickly and hurriedly raised his hands and swore: "I swear, I didn't do it. This has nothing to do with me at all!"

"I did not torture Zhao Deshun in any way, and all the jailers can testify to this!"

Lin Feng looked at him, narrowed his eyes and said: "He is a prisoner who has committed a capital crime. Why don't you punish him? Are you so kind to a murderer? I have also asked about your habits. Your favorite thing is not to fight before the trial. Is it the majesty of killing criminals with ten big boards?"

Jiang Hecheng said hurriedly: "I originally wanted to torture him, but Lu Chenhe persuaded me not to do so. He said that Zhao Deshun was in poor health and should not be beaten to death. Moreover, Zhao Deshun was very cooperative and would admit whatever he asked. There was no need to torture him. .”

Lin Feng asked: "Who is Lu Chenhe?"

Jiang Hecheng said: "This is Chang Shi, my assistant officer."

"He knows Zhao Deshun?"

"Who in Shangzhou City doesn't know the wealthy businessman Zhao Deshun?"

"Why does he want to speak for Zhao Deshun?"

Jiang Hecheng said: "It doesn't count as speaking for him. After all, Zhao Deshun is really the most sensible prisoner I have ever seen. As long as I ask, he will take the initiative to speak and won't hide anything."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and continued: "Since you did not impose any punishment and Zhao Deshun was not tortured in prison, then why did he die? Who killed him?"

Jiang Hecheng said: "Didn't he commit suicide?"

Lin Feng looked into his eyes and did not miss any of Jiang Hecheng's slight movements: "Who can testify that he committed suicide? Has anyone seen it?"

Jiang Hecheng shook his head: "Although no one saw it, he committed suicide. Except for the wounds left by hitting his head against the wall, there were no external injuries on his body. Moreover, he lived in a separate cell with only one key, and that key was always guarded. .”

"There is someone watching...are you sure that there is someone watching all night long, so there is no chance that the key will be stolen secretly?"

"The key is hanging on the wall. Below is the table. Many jailers are sitting there. If you want to take the key secretly, someone will definitely find it."

Lin Feng's brain quickly sorted out Jiang Hecheng's answer, compared it with the content in the file, and then continued to ask quickly, without giving Jiang Hecheng any time to think: "I heard that after Zhao Deshun died, blood words were left next to the body?"

"There is a word for blood, it is the word [LV]."

Lin Feng stared at him sharply, just like interrogating prisoners face to face in his previous life, which put great mental pressure on Jiang Hecheng: "Why is it the word [LV]?"

"His real wife's surname is Lu. Maybe before he died, he suddenly thought of his dead wife and thought that they could finally be reunited."

When Jiang Hecheng answered, his expression was natural and his tone was full of matter-of-factness. It was obvious that he thought so.

"Does his family think so too?"

"Yes."

The scene at that time could not help but appear in Lin Feng's mind.

In the dark prison, Zhao Deshun was lying under the wall. There was blood on the wall. His head was bloody and bloody, and his fingertips were stained with the blood on his head. On the cold ground, before he died, he wrote down the words of his life in the world. The last word - Lu!

This is his last message to this world.Lu——Does he really mean his wife?

Everyone thinks so, but is this really the truth?
Lin Feng frowned slightly...

"I heard that when Zhao Deshun died, there were other strange things about his body?"

"There's nothing special about it... If I had to say it, apart from the words written in blood, there are only two sticks of dead grass stuck in the nose."

"Why do you have dead grass stuck in your nose?"

Jiang Hecheng guessed: "I think it was an accident. He slept on a pile of hay. Maybe after he committed suicide by hitting the wall and fell down, the hay accidentally got into his nose."

Did it get into your nose accidentally?

Or... Zhao Deshun did it on purpose?

But if it was done intentionally, what could the two withered grasses mean?
Letters in blood, withered grass...accidental or deliberate?
Lin Feng pondered and said, "Other than that, what else is strange about his body?"

"No more." Jiang Hecheng shook his head and said: "I think words in blood and withered grass are nothing. One got into the nose by coincidence, and the other commemorates the death of his wife. How normal."

Lin Feng ignored Jiang Hecheng, but there were too few clues now and he couldn't reason, so he could only let it go for now.

He looked at Jiang Hecheng again and said, "Has anyone seen Zhao Deshun during his imprisonment? Who has seen him before he died?"

Jiang Hecheng shook his head directly: "No, not one."

"Why not? You don't allow it?"

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Jiang Hecheng said hurriedly: "Zhao Deshun has already decided to die. It seems that he does not want to see his family members crying, so he specifically requested me not to allow any of his family members to come to see him."

"At first I didn't understand why he was so cold-blooded, but now I understand. He was probably afraid that his weak son would tell the truth after seeing him, so he used this method to cut off Zhao Minglu. His thoughts let Zhao Minglu know how determined he is."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hecheng cursed again: "If I knew that Zhao Deshun had this idea, I would have let Zhao Minglu see him... Otherwise, Zhao Minglu would not have told the truth after he died, making it too late for me to do anything. .”

Lin Feng's eyes were so deep that Jiang Hecheng couldn't tell what Lin Feng was thinking. He didn't know whether Lin Feng agreed with his guess or not.

He continued to ask: "Did Zhao Deshun do anything unusual before he was caught seeking death?"

Jiang Hecheng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's nothing unusual. He is silent every day. When he died, he suddenly went to seek death without any warning."

It does seem like there's nothing wrong with it...if you don't know that there may be a third party, that's it.

But Lin Feng has a high probability of confirming the existence of a third party. In his opinion, the less abnormal Zhao Deshun is, the more serious the problem may be.

"There are still too few clues. It seems that it is necessary to go to the prison where Zhao Deshun is imprisoned and have a look. That bloody word... I have to go and see it myself. I don't know if it has been cleaned out."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked the final question: "What was the reaction of Zhao Minglu's family after he voluntarily surrendered? Did anyone visit him after he was arrested by you?"

Speaking of Zhao Minglu, Jiang Hecheng was extremely angry.

He said: "Of course his family is surprised, surprised and can't believe it!"

"After all, in their eyes, Zhao Minglu is a young scholar and a future No. [-] scholar. How could he commit murder?"

"They kept trying to persuade Zhao Minglu not to be impulsive and to go back quickly. I also told Zhao Minglu to go back, but Zhao Minglu insisted on saying that his father could not die and was being wronged. He refused to say that she was the one who killed the man, and he even took out the bloody clothes. evidence."

"Her family members were immediately confused when they saw this, and I was also confused..."

Lin Feng could imagine the situation at that time and continued: "Then what?"

Jiang Hecheng said angrily: "What else? Then, I asked Zhao Minglu to go back, but he refused. He also said that if I didn't reverse his father's case, he would surrender to another government office... I had no choice but to lock him up and leave him alone." Let him stop talking nonsense before everyone knows."

"But as soon as I blocked Zhao Minglu, his family was unhappy... and actually filed a lawsuit. How could I have forgotten that the Zhao family's business is booming and their connections are not weak!"

At this point, he regretted so much that he slapped his thigh.

In their eyes, you killed his father and arrested his son. It was obvious that you wanted to kill both father and son at the same time. It's strange that he would be willing to do so.

Moreover, they did not want to believe that Zhao Minglu had killed him. They went to file a complaint because they hoped to make the matter bigger so that the court could send powerful officials to investigate, instead of being manipulated at will by Jiang Hecheng, a dog official.

"Has anyone visited Zhao Minglu after he was imprisoned?"

Jiang Hecheng said: "Of course, he is the only son of the Zhao family. That is a good thing. All his family members have gone."

"Who exactly are they?"

"let me see."

Jiang Hecheng said: "His aunt Zhao, his cousin Zhao Yanran, his aunt's family of three, and the deceased Zhou Waner's brother Zhou Mo...and, no, these are the only people in his family who have all gone to see him. "

Lin Feng asked: "What did they say?"

Jiang Hecheng shook his head: "I didn't know that. I'm so busy, how can I follow them every day?"

"You really don't know?" Lin Feng stared at him sharply.

Jiang Hecheng swallowed and lowered his head slightly: "I just eavesdropped... His aunt asked him why he was so stupid. His cousin cried and said that there was something he had not done yet, and she could help finish it. His aunt's family asked Whether he was the one he killed or not, Zhou Mo asked him to pay for his sister's life."

"Any more?"

"No, it's really gone. I just want to know if his so-called murder is true... Once I was sure it was true, I stopped eavesdropping."

Lin Feng took a deep look at him, which made Jiang Hecheng feel uncomfortable. He felt that he was being seen through from the inside out. Then he nodded, gathered his thoughts, and sorted out the messy information that was not recorded in the file he had just obtained. Said: "I understand."

Hearing this, Jiang Hecheng let out a long breath, only to realize that he was already covered in sweat from being asked questions.

As he wiped his sweat, he cursed in his mind.

Damn, this is weird!Why did the oppression caused by Lin Feng feel more terrifying than that caused by Wei Zheng and the others?
