People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 60 Change in attitude!

The ghost is in Mrs. Zhao’s heart...

After listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone looked at Mrs. Zhao with complicated expressions.

At this moment, even ordinary people in the Zhao family understood.

What kind of people are pretending to be ghosts, what kind of things are they looking for to pretend to be ghosts...

All of this is a farce.

There are no people pretending to be ghosts at all, and there is no ghosting at all!
All of this is Zhao's lie!

All of them have been lied to!
Lu Chenhe felt his heart tremble. He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhao: "Mrs. Zhao, you deceived me so miserably! When I believed you, I really thought that there was someone pretending to be a ghost. After arriving at the Zhao Mansion, I searched with all my heart, even the latrines were not spared... and the result..."

He shook his head and almost cursed: "I have lost all my face. Tell me, what have I been busy with this night?"

When Zhao Qian heard this, she asked, "Are you really lying to us? What on earth do you want to do?"

Zhao Yanran also looked at Zhao with an expression of disbelief.

Zhao's thin body was trembling slightly. She bit her lip with her teeth and just shook her head without speaking.

Seeing that Zhao didn't speak, Lin Feng slowly said, "Mrs. Zhao, do you know what I was thinking when Mr. Lu, Mr. Shi and Sun, and the others tried their best to find the hiding place of the so-called ghost thing?"

Zhao raised her head nervously and looked at Lin Feng.

Then, she met a pair of dark, deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through all her thoughts. This made her suddenly startled, and she quickly lowered her head.

Lin Feng raised his hand, pointed at the door, and said: "What I'm paying attention to is... it!"

Everyone followed Lin Feng's fingers and saw that what Lin Feng was pointing at was the pool of scarlet blood.

"Blood?" Sun Fuga asked doubtfully.

Lin Feng nodded and said: "After I realized that the possibility of someone pretending to be a ghost was extremely low, I was thinking about how to find evidence to confirm my speculation that Mrs. Zhao was lying."

He looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mrs. Zhao, you are really smart. When I asked you whether the ghost floated in a straight line or a curve, you paused. I think by then, you already understood the intention of my question. ”

"So you deliberately misled me, saying that you should walk in a straight line... you even made me stand under the beam and told me that the ghost stopped there."

"This will make me mistakenly believe that ghosts are floating on ropes. In this case, we will investigate the matter of pretending to be ghosts, and we will not be able to suspect you."

When Lu Chenhe heard this, he nodded seriously. This is how he was misled!
Even just now, he made such self-righteous remarks about solving the case.

The results of it?
How embarrassing!

Compared with Lin Feng, he is simply ashamed!

At this moment, Lu Chenhe finally understood why even an upright and serious person like Wei Zheng was willing to hand over the re-investigation of Zhou Waner's case to Lin Feng. Lin Feng's ability in solving cases was really amazing.

Anyway, I am far behind.

Lin Feng continued: "In order to prevent your lies from being discovered, you tried your best to mislead our thoughts, and when you encountered something that could not be explained, you just used 'fainted, didn't pay attention, and was scared' to explain it away. You had to say , even though I know these words are excuses, I can't refute you, after all, I have no evidence to prove that your words are excuses."

"only……"

Lin Feng changed his voice and looked at Zhao: "It's a pity that besides lying, you did one thing after all!"

He pointed to the blood on the ground: "In order to make the haunting more real, in order to make everyone believe the lie that Zhao Deshun's ghost is really back... you sprinkled these shocking-looking blood on the ground."

"This blood is not the non-existent thing that holds ghosts, it really exists... In other words, there are no things that hold ghosts, but the vessel that holds blood must exist!"

A vessel for blood! ?

Everyone suddenly realized, yes!This blood cannot be brought without a container!

Since there is blood, there must be a container!

While we were worrying about the illusory things pretending to be ghosts, Lin Feng was already considering the only physical evidence... Sun Fujia felt extremely emotional in his heart, admiring and sighing at the same time. The more he came into contact with Lin Feng, the more he felt that he was too bad. too much.

He immediately looked at Lu Chenhe and said, "Lu Changshi, when you searched the Zhao Mansion, did you find any containers filled with blood?"

Lu Chenhe frowned: "I didn't find any... In fact, when we were looking for things that pretend to be ghosts, we also thought about blood. After all, this is also a kind of thing that pretends to be ghosts, but our kitchen cellar and so on are all I searched and even turned over the vases in the study, but no bloody container was found.”

"No?"

Sun Fujia frowned.

Why not?

There’s no reason not to have one!
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and everyone else also looked at Lin Feng blankly.

But seeing Lin Feng's expression unchanged, he walked slowly in Zhao's room, saying as he walked: "It's normal that you can't find her."

"After all, Mrs. Zhao is so smart. Since she has thought that someone might investigate the person pretending to be a ghost, how can she leave such an easy-to-find flaw for herself?"

"If the container containing blood is so easy to find, how can she maintain her lies?"

Lu Chenhe and Sun Fuga looked at each other and nodded.

Lu Chenhe said: "Mr. Lin is right...but we couldn't find it anywhere, so where did she hide the vessel she used to hold the blood?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhao, who was still lowering his head, and said: "This is exactly what I was puzzled about at first. This amount of blood is quite a lot. What did you use to load it, and how did you hide it so secretly?" , even the government dug almost three feet into the ground and couldn’t find it?”

"until……"

Lin Feng suddenly crossed the screen and came to the dressing table in front of the bed. He looked at the small box on the dressing table and said slowly: "It wasn't until I saw these... that I realized that the existence of these things was so inappropriate. Then It all dawned on me.”

When everyone heard this, they all stretched their necks to look.

Wei Zheng even activated the effect of his identity card, occupying the most advantageous area of ​​vision.

Then... they saw Lin Feng take out a small flat cylinder porcelain bottle from the small box.

"That is?"

Sun Fujia guessed: "It seems to be a bottle of rouge and gouache?"

Lin Feng nodded: "It's the bottle containing rouge and gouache."

Sun Fujia frowned and said: "Zide, are you trying to say... that the blood is in these small bottles?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Why not?"

Sun Fujia was stunned: "Is it really true? But isn't this too small?"

The others were also taken aback.

Lin Feng said slowly: "It has only been more than a month since Zhao Deshun died. I also heard that Mrs. Zhao had a very good relationship with Zhao Deshun... So, normally speaking, Mrs. Zhao had such a good relationship with Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao died. Soon, Mrs. Zhao shouldn’t use these rouge and gouache to dress herself up, right?”

Zhao Yanran said: "Of course, my uncle's body is still cold and my aunt is crying all day long. How could she apply rouge and gouache?"

Lin Feng smiled: "That's right... Mrs. Zhao doesn't know how to dress up, so the rouge and gouache placed randomly in this box after someone has obviously moved it is obviously too strange."

"For someone who hasn't dressed up for more than a month, why is the box containing rouge and gouache opened? Why does the bottle inside show obvious signs of being tampered with?"

"Thinking of this, I finally understood..."

Lin Feng opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, then turned the bottle upside down and said, "It shouldn't contain rouge and gouache, but... blood."

pat!pat!
As the bottle mouth was turned upside down, drops of blood dripped out from the small porcelain bottle, fell to the ground, and suddenly turned into blood flowers.

Seeing this scene, everyone was so shocked that it was difficult to describe their feelings in words.

They never expected that Zhao would use such small bottles that usually hold rouge and gouache to hold this blood!

How many small bottles must be used to contain so much blood?
No wonder the people in the yamen couldn't find a vessel to hold blood. How could they have thought that Zhao would use a small bottle of rouge and gouache to hold blood?

Lu Chenhe suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao. Everyone else also looked at Zhao with wide eyes. They saw Zhao, who was thin and trembling all over. Her face was pale, and her bare hands were holding the corners of her clothes tightly, as if she had been beaten by wind and frost. A lotus that can wither at any time.

Lin Feng said: "These small bottles have small mouths. If you want to pour out all the blood quickly, you need to tap the bottom of the bottle hard, or shake it hard... So I think, Mrs. Zhao, the blood on your body Yes, it must be the blood you accidentally got on it when you were pouring it out, right?"

Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes and finally became silent no longer. She nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "That should be the case. I was in a hurry at the time, for fear of being discovered, so in my haste, I didn't notice that there was something on my clothes." It’s stained with blood.”

She admitted it!

At this moment, the truth is completely clear!

The evidence is complete and the case has been solved!
Lu Chenhe sighed, he looked at Lin Feng, he was sincerely convinced, and couldn't help but said: "Young Master Lin... I am convinced! I think I have some ability in solving cases, but today I saw Mr. Lin solving the case, I know what it means The real solution is like a god."

"While I was still worried about the nihilistic thing that pretended to be a ghost, Mr. Lin was obviously led astray by me, but he was still able to quickly discover the truth... When I compare with Mr. Lin, I am really Yunni. What a difference."

After hearing Lu Chenhe's heartfelt words of emotion, the expressions of everyone in the Zhao family also changed significantly.

Zhao, who was so thin, did not dare to look at Lin Feng.

The pretty-looking Zhao Yanran looked at Lin Feng with big eyes full of curiosity, as if wondering, how could there be such a smart and powerful person in this world.

Zhou Songlin's eyes averted and he looked at Lin Feng with a rather fearful expression.

Even Zhao Qian, at this moment, looked away with a livid face, not daring to show such hostile eyes to Lin Feng again.

Even Zhao Fang, a strange child, turned his attention from the ants to Lin Feng, and he showed a rare expression of curiosity.

Everyone's attitude towards Lin Feng has quietly changed as Lin Feng found out the truth about the haunting.Sun Fujia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

He knew that Lin Feng's next investigation in the Zhao Mansion wouldn't be a big problem.

Wei Zheng looked at Lin Feng with a smile on his face, his eyes full of relief and satisfaction.

Although the ghost was not caught this time, and the technique was not as sophisticated as the small hole imaging in the haunted palace case, it was still extremely exciting and beyond everyone's expectations.

After returning, he believed that Dai Zhou would beat his chest for not witnessing this scene in person!

"Aunt, why? Why do you tell such a lie?"

At this time, Zhao Yanran's voice suddenly sounded, and she had an incomprehensible expression.

Zhao Qian even put her hands on her hips and stared at Mrs. Zhao fiercely, saying, "Tell me! Why did you do this? You lied and said that my brother's ghost is back. What's the conspiracy?"

Zhou Songlin coughed and supported his wife: "Sister-in-law, what you are doing is wrong. If you have any ideas, just tell us directly. Why do you have to tell such lies?"

Zhao Fang seemed to think that what happened next would be boring, so he raised his butt and poked at the ant nest again.

Zhao pursed her lips and said, "I...I..."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't know how to speak, Lin Feng said, "Didn't she already tell us?"

"what?"

Everyone looked at Lin Feng.

Then Lin Feng said: "Mrs. Zhao just said...she said that Zhao Deshun's ghost kept repeating two sentences."

"Where is my baby? Why isn't it by my side?"

Lin Feng looked at them and said: "I think this is her purpose. She probably thinks that the burial you gave Zhao Deshun is too shabby... After all, Zhao Deshun is the richest man in Shangzhou, and he has created his current wealth single-handedly. After she dies, you won’t bury Zhao Deshun’s favorite treasure with her. As a lady, you can’t bear to see her.”

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, her eyes red, and said, "It's more than that."

"This morning, I and Yanran went to the master's treasure room. They wanted to see things and think about people, and sort out the things that the master liked most during his lifetime."

"But who would have known... when I and Yanran arrived at the treasure room, they found that there was nothing in the treasure room and everything was gone."

As she said that, she raised her head, looked at Zhao Qian, and said, "My servant said...it was you who took away everything inside."

Zhao Qian hugged her arms and said coldly: "That's what my brother left for me. I took it as a matter of course... Why, you still want to give all these things to you? How dare you, a concubine, have the nerve to say such a thing!" "

Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale after being retorted by Zhao Qian, and her whole body was trembling. She didn't know whether it was from cold or anger.

Zhao Yanran quickly held on to Zhao to prevent her from falling, and then Zhao continued: "When I am buried, you do not allow us to give him too many burial objects."

"Now you have taken away all the things that belonged to me, leaving nothing behind... I really can't bear it anymore. How can a man like me, who likes luxurious things, rest in peace?"

"So...so..."

Zhao closed her eyes and said: "So I have no choice but to use this method, hoping to use the master's ghost to get something back for him, at least... let the master's burial objects not be so shabby."

Zhao Qian sneered and said: "Excuse! I don't believe a word of this! Besides, don't even think about taking away any of my brother's treasures! Those are mine, they are all mine! You are a concubine, so I haven’t said anything about giving birth to an heir for my brother for many years. My brother is kind. If it were me, I would have driven you away! Now that my brother is gone, I still leave you to eat at the Zhao family. This is already very conscientious. ! Do you still want to see things and miss people? Do you deserve to see those treasures without even looking at them? "

"I have the final say in this Zhao Mansion now! Whatever I say will be what I say!"

Lin Feng finally understood why she wanted to recruit a son-in-law. She looked so arrogant and wanted to slap her away... He looked at Sun Fuga and signaled Sun Fuga to take care of it.

But Sun Fujia could only shake his head helplessly. It was difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs, and besides, they had no position to take action.

The status of concubines in ancient times was too low. Zhao Qian did not marry outside, but was a son-in-law. In theory, since the Zhao family had no boys, she was the master, so outsiders really had no right to interfere with her scolding of the Zhao family.

"I'm not dead yet. When did my aunt, a woman, take charge of the Zhao family?"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone in the Zhao Mansion was stunned when they heard this familiar voice.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, yes, why did he forget about this guy Zhao Minglu.

No one else could intervene, but Zhao Minglu had too many reasons to intervene.

I saw Zhao Minglu striding from behind. When he passed by Lin Feng, he paused and saluted Lin Feng very solemnly. Then he came to Zhao Qian and said, "Auntie, I think I should be qualified to handle it." My father’s funeral affairs and my father’s belongings, right?”

"Jianji, why are you here? When did you come back?"

Zhao Minglu, also known as Zhao Minglu, was built by Zhao Deshun who spent a lot of money to hire people to build Zhao Minglu. It comes from "Xunzi. Self-cultivation", "The road is blocked and long, but if you go, it will come. If you keep going, the future will be promising." It is full of Zhao Deshun's words. A father's expectations for his son.

Zhao Qian looked at the sudden appearance of Zhao Minglu, and she was extremely surprised. The rest of the Zhao family also looked at Zhao Minglu with surprise, surprise, or tears of joy.

Zhao's eyes were red. She looked at the thin Zhao Minglu, Zhao Minglu's deep-set eye sockets, and his thin and disfigured cheeks. She said with heartache: "Why have you become like this... It's my useless aunt who let you stay here." It’s been hard in prison.”

She was really as close as her own mother and son. She had suffered so much injustice, but the first words she said when she saw Zhao Minglu were that she felt sorry for Zhao Minglu who stood up for her... Lin Feng took this scene in his heart and nodded secretly.

At the same time, his eyes were observing the expressions and reactions of others.

Zhao Minglu's sudden appearance was completely beyond the expectations of everyone in the Zhao family. Perhaps some clues could be discerned from these people's first reactions.

Zhao Qian's fat face was full of shock and surprise, with no expression of joy... It seemed that Zhao Minglu's return was not a very happy thing for Zhao Qian.

Together in the cell, Zhao Qian asked Zhao Minglu if he really killed someone... Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and felt a little emotional.

This is the case for wealthy families. Although they have astonishing wealth, many family ties will become indifferent in the face of that wealth.

Zhou Songlin's eyes were a little dodgey, as if he was a little afraid of Zhao Minglu, Lin Feng was thoughtful.

And Zhao Fang... is such a strange boy. He has no reaction and is still playing with ants.

As for the beautiful girl Zhao Yanran, she cried with joy. She looked at Zhao Minglu with an expression full of excitement and happiness, as if the drifting ship had a port to rely on... Also, she was an outsider, and Zhao Qian was very unhappy with her. Zhao Minglu was back, Her life would at least be a lot easier.

Most of the other servants were surprised. It was obvious that Zhao Minglu's status in the hearts of the servants was not low.

Lin Feng took in everyone's reactions and pondered them secretly.

As soon as Zhao Minglu, the only male member of the Zhao family, appeared, Zhao Qian's arrogance immediately diminished a lot, but she still worked hard to maintain her strength and dignity.

"It's coming, you don't understand, I also have painstaking efforts."

But Zhao Minglu was almost dead once, and he was no longer the weak scholar who was easily deceived and bullied before.

"I don't understand? Then please ask my aunt to explain it in front of everyone. What ridiculous painstaking efforts need to be so harsh on my father's funeral?"

"you……"

A battle between aunt and nephew broke out in an instant!

Zhao Shiwu hid aside and giggled, watching with relish: "It's really exciting, worthy of being from a wealthy family... You can't see such a wonderful struggle anywhere else."

But while he was watching the show with great interest, he was suddenly pulled away by Lin Feng. He looked at Lin Feng blankly: "Father, don't you want to watch the show?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes: "Just look at their first reactions. This kind of family drama is nothing interesting."

"Father, what are we doing here?"

Zhao Shiwu said in confusion when he saw Lin Feng grabbing him and walking out the door.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and said, "While everyone is attracted here, let's go to the scene of Zhou Waner's crime."

He arrived late at night. The people in the Zhao family could never have expected that he would arrive at this time. In other words... if there really was a third party who poisoned him, they would not have expected that he would arrive at this time. Taking advantage of the Zhao family's Since they were all restrained, it was a good opportunity for me to go to the scene.

If you wait until tomorrow morning, the third party may secretly do something based on the ability he just showed.

So now is the best time to go to the scene while everyone is defenseless.

When Zhao Shiwu heard that it was serious business, he immediately walked out of the door without saying anything.

But suddenly, he saw Lin Feng stopped at the door.

"Father?"

Zhao Shiwu looked confused.

Lin Feng came to the window, squatted down, and picked up something from the ground.

Zhao Shiwu took a closer look and said, "Cotton ball?"

Lin Feng was seen holding a ball of cotton the size of his fingertip in his hand.

Zhao Shiwu asked: "Is there anything wrong with this cotton ball?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "I don't know. There were so many people just now, and someone blocked my view. I didn't notice the cotton ball."

Zhao Shishi thought for a while: "Zhao made up all the haunted things, so there are no ghost pretenders. There should be nothing wrong with this cotton ball, right?"

Lin Feng thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the use of a small cotton ball. Moreover, Zhao Shiwu was right. There was no real ghost pretender this time, so there could be no props.

"Maybe I'm too suspicious and overthinking."

Lin Feng said casually as he put away the cotton balls. He immediately stood up and said, "Find a maid to lead the way. Let's go directly to Zhou Waner's room."
