People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically
Chapter 70 The deepest secret!
Chapter 70 The deepest secret!
Lin Feng's words were like the cold wind in the middle of the night, blowing in everyone's ears, making everyone feel chilly in their hearts and their hands and feet felt cold.
There was a moment of silence.
Everyone was frightened by the whole story and the extremely sinister and vicious plan of this fake Zhao Yanran.
They really never thought that behind the truth that Zhao Deshun and Zhao Minglu took the initiative to admit that they were the murderers, there was such a sinister and vicious heart hidden behind them!
There is such a terrifying conspiracy!
This calculation is linked to each other, Zhou Waner, Zhao Minglu, and even the shrewdest Zhao Deshun are like chess pieces, controlled in the palm of their hands.
Zhou Waner thought she was going to take control of the Zhao family, but she didn't know that she was the first to step on the road to hell!
Zhao Deshun thought he was taking the blame for his son for the sake of his future, but he didn't know that he was taking the blame for the most vicious fake Zhao Yanran!
Zhao Minglu... was manipulated like a puppet on strings from beginning to end, but he didn't even know it until just now!
What a wonderful drama, what a mind-numbing calculation!
Everyone in the Zhao family couldn't help but shiver. Even when they heard Zhao said it was haunted, they had never felt so cold!
I really answered that sentence...
The viciousness of the human heart is sometimes far more terrifying than ghosts!
"The truth is actually like this..."
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but swallow. He looked at the fake Zhao Yanran who was still very beautiful even though he had become a drowned rat with fear. He couldn't help but said: "You are so pretty, but your heart is so sinister and vicious!"
"Not only did you poison and kill Zhou Waner, you actually used this incident and the feelings of Zhao Deshun and his son to plot against them, making them eventually become murderers that everyone wanted to beat!"
"But you have never been suspected from the beginning to the end. No one even knows that a person like you exists!"
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but shake his head: "I have been an official for so many years, and I thought I had seen many insidious and vicious people, but compared to you, they are really nothing!"
Sun Fujia couldn't help but sigh: "Your thoughts are more vicious and sinister than that of Cuizhu and even more than that of Zhou Ran!"
Wei Zheng's eyes were deep and cold as he stared at the fake Zhao Yanran without saying a word.
Zhao Shiwu scratched his head and felt that the old saying was true, women's hearts are the most poisonous!
The weak Ms. Zhao shook her body, as if she was severely hit by this truth. Her face was pale, even though she was as gentle as she was, she couldn't help but show anger at this time: "My Zhao family has never treated you badly. After you come here, , except for my sister-in-law and Zhou Waner, no one treats you badly, especially the master, who also specifically reminded us... that you have undergone a sudden change, so let us treat you well and make you feel the warmth of home."
"As a result...as a result, our sincerity and kindness were exchanged for you being so cold-blooded and ruthless!"
She couldn't help but said in pain: "Is your heart black? Do you still have a conscience?"
Zhao Minglu hurriedly held Mrs. Zhao tightly, and said with cold eyes: "Auntie, what's the use of talking to this cold-blooded person? If she really had feelings, she wouldn't do these things! She's just an inhumane person. Beast in human skin!”
The arrogant Zhao Qian couldn't help but take a step back. Thinking back to how she had scolded this fake Zhao Yanran, she felt scared. If this fake Zhao Yanran wanted to harm her, wouldn't she have died eight hundred times already?
So insidious, even more insidious than her!Zhao Qian thinks that she is not a very good person, but compared with this fake Zhao Yanran, she feels that she is a good person.
Everyone stared at the fake Zhao Yanran with angry and fearful expressions, but at this moment, the fake Zhao Yanran unexpectedly laughed.
"What a wonderful story."
"but……"
She suddenly looked at Lin Feng and said, "It's just a story! All these inferences are just your own imagination. I don't admit that I did these things."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Fake Zhao Yanran said lightly: "At most, I accidentally saw two dead people, and then picked up a letter from a dead person... I am also a helpless and weak woman. When I read the letter, it said that Zhao Deshun was such a rich businessman. He is a relative of the dead man, and I also want to feel the family affection."
"That's why I took Zhao Yanran's identity and came to the Zhao Mansion... But that's all I did."
As she said that, she looked at Wei Zheng and said with a weak look on her face: "Mr. Wei, I just took the place of someone to feel the warmth of home. I didn't do anything else... So, this shouldn't be a big deal. It’s a sin, right? At least it doesn’t lead to death, right?”
Everyone's eyes widened.
Seeing the fake Zhao Yanran say these words, they just thought that this person is so shameless!
How dare she say such a thing?
Zhao Minglu said: "You...you stole things and killed people, and you still want to escape!?"
Fake Zhao Yanran said calmly: "You must have evidence when you speak...How do you prove that I stole something? How do you prove that I killed someone?"
As she said that, she glanced at Lin Feng indifferently, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "I think in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it shouldn't be said that reasoning without evidence can convict people, right?"
"You..." Zhao Minglu opened his mouth angrily, but didn't know what to say.
After all, what the fake Zhao Yanran said was correct. Lin Feng was indeed reasoning from beginning to end and did not provide any definite evidence.
"Ha! It really didn't surprise me."
At this time, Lin Feng suddenly laughed and looked at the fake Zhao Yanran: "I knew you wouldn't just give in."
"But before you said these words...didn't you think about how to explain your current situation?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's face changed slightly, and she said: "I just came to steal something... You convicted me of stealing, and I admit it! But you said other things about me in the Zhao Mansion, and I don't admit it at all!"
The fake Zhao Yanran was so arrogant. Even though everyone knew now that she was just making excuses for herself, they couldn't help it.
After all, there is really no evidence!
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but look at Lin Feng in embarrassment: "Brother Lin, we must have evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to handle."
Lin Feng smiled: "When did I say there is no evidence?"
"What!?" Everyone looked at Lin Feng hurriedly.
Fake Zhao Yanran also narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said calmly: "On the night I came to Zhao Mansion, I went to Zhou Waner's room to check. Do you know what I found?"
Zhao frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. Lin say that he didn't find anything?"
Fake Zhao Yanran was also present at the time, so she naturally heard Lin Feng's answer.
Lin Feng shook his head, and he said slowly: "I said that just because I didn't want to alert the enemy, and I didn't want the real thief to know the progress of my investigation."
"Actually, I found traces of a third person in Zhou Waner's room."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Shiwu.
My adoptive father gave me another chance to show off... Zhao Shiwu immediately straightened his back and said, "My adoptive father asked me to climb on the beam to check the situation. As a result... I found traces on the beam, and the dust on it There are obvious signs of someone crawling on it.”
Lin Feng looked at Zhao: "I said before when analyzing the haunted case that no matter how clean you are, there will be dust on the beams, and as long as you do something on the beams, there will be traces."
"So, the dust on the beam is enough to prove...that someone has been hiding on it, and that's exactly what..."
Lin Feng turned to look at the fake Zhao Yanran: "I am truly sure that there is a third party."
Fake Zhao Yanran frowned and said nothing.
Lin Feng continued: "Then do you know why I asked Zhao Shiwu to check the condition of the beam? There was obviously nothing unusual about the dust on the ground at that time."
She still doesn't speak.
Still praising Zhao Shishi, he promptly said: "Yes, foster father, I am also very curious. I was in Mrs. Zhao's room at that time because Mrs. Zhao misled you, so you asked me to check the beam... But in Zhou Waner's room, you I was asked to check it out for no reason.”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not for no reason... During the investigation process, I will not do anything unrelated to the case, which is likely to disturb my thoughts. Everything I do has a purpose. "
Zhao Shiwu asked doubtfully: "That is?"
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the empty bamboo basket on the wall of Zhou Waner's room?"
Zhao Shishi thought for a while: "My foster father seemed to have been staring at it for a long time."
Lin Feng turned to look at the fake Zhao Yanran, half-smiling but not smiling: "Why do you think I stared at it for so long?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and her expression began to flicker.
Lin Feng laughed, looked at Zhao Minglu, and asked, "When you secretly entered Zhou Waner's room that night, did you notice that there were some bamboo baskets on the wall of Zhou Waner's room, and there were osmanthus flowers in the bamboo baskets?"
Zhao Minglu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I was so nervous at the time, how could I pay attention to the bamboo basket."
"Bamboo basket?"
At this time, Mrs. Zhao seemed to have thought of something. She said, "Mr. Lin is talking about the osmanthus bouquet that Zhou Waner used to decorate the room?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Has Mrs. Zhao noticed it?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Perhaps because we are both women, I will pay more attention to the decoration in the room... I remember that there were several bamboo baskets hung on the walls of Zhou Waner's room, and the bamboo baskets were filled with sweet-scented osmanthus. , but there was no sweet-scented osmanthus in one of the bamboo baskets. At that time, I thought why there was no sweet-scented osmanthus, but I didn’t think much about it, and later I forgot about it.”
She asked curiously: "Master Lin mentioned this empty bamboo basket. Is there anything wrong with this bamboo basket?"
When Zhao Minglu and others heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Actually, when I saw the diabolo basket at first, I didn't know if there was anything wrong with it."
"After all, this is the first time I went to Zhou Waner's room. I don't know what Zhou Waner's room was like before the incident. I also asked the maid, and the maid said that Zhou Waner did not let them enter the room easily. The room was decorated by Zhou Waner herself, so they It can’t give me any useful information.”
"So, at first I just thought it might be a bit strange, but I didn't think much about it."
Zhao nodded, she understood what Lin Feng meant.
But since Lin Feng said that, there must be a follow-up. She asked: "What happened next?"
Lin Feng said: "Later I saw Zhou Waner's rouge gouache and sachet, and saw the water glasses and kettles on the table. At this time, I suddenly felt something was wrong."
He looked at everyone and said: "You may not have noticed that Zhou Waner's rouge, gouache and sachets are placed very neatly and neatly. The water cups and kettles on the table are also placed very neatly. All the cups are perfectly symmetrical. There isn’t even the slightest bit of angle confusion…what does this mean?”
Everyone was still thinking when they heard Lin Feng say: "It means that she is definitely a person who likes to be neat and orderly, and even has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder... You don't need to understand what obsessive-compulsive disorder is, you just need to know that she requires orderliness everywhere in this kind of life. Among the decorations she personally arranged, all the bamboo baskets on the wall had osmanthus flowers, but one bamboo basket was empty... This kind of imperfection was definitely a very painful visual sense for her."
"So I immediately felt that something was wrong with the empty bamboo basket. It was most likely not caused by Zhou Waner. But if it wasn't caused by Zhou Waner, then who could have caused it? Who would have taken away the sweet-scented osmanthus there?"
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion shook their heads. None of them went to get any sweet-scented osmanthus.
Lin Feng said: "I asked the little maid, and she said that the bamboo basket was empty on the night Zhou Waner died... This means that the people who came after you did not take it away, and Zhou Waner's temperament was even worse when he was alive. It won’t be left empty.”
"So, if my hypothesis is correct, the person who took away this sweet-scented osmanthus plant is definitely the third party who hid it the most!"
Everyone thought for a while, and then nodded like chickens.
They all thought it made sense.
Lu Chenhe said: "So Brother Lin, you used this empty bamboo basket to directly conclude that there was a third party, and then discovered the traces on the beam?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's still far from a complete conclusion. I just have a certain hypothesis. After all, no one knows whether it was Zhou Waner's fault."
"But that's not important. In our prison, isn't it about 'bold assumptions and careful verification'?"
“When I have some confidence that the possibility of this hypothesis exists, we can then reason based on it.”
"If I encounter a logical flaw in the middle, or find a problem during the verification stage, it will prove that this hypothesis is wrong, and I can directly abandon this hypothesis and turn to another direction."
Sun Fuga nodded, this was indeed their usual method.
When there is no substantial discovery in the investigation, it is better to boldly assume many possibilities, but you must be careful enough in the verification process and must not be too subjective.
Otherwise, it will be just like when Lu Chenhe caught ghosts, he will be wrong.
Lin Feng continued: "So, at that time, I assumed that the empty bamboo basket was not caused by Zhou Waner...then it could only be caused by a hidden third party."
"But if it was a third party, why did she take away the osmanthus in this bamboo basket?"
"You know, this osmanthus is not a precious thing. You can see it everywhere in Zhao's mansion... She is such a cautious person. If she wants to hide herself deeply, it is best not to touch anything, but she just takes it Gone is Osmanthus…why?”
When everyone heard this, they all frowned and started thinking.
Indeed, very strange.
Sun Fuga frowned and said: "It is indeed a bit unreasonable. There is no need for her to do such unnecessary things."
Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out, and Lu Chenhe just shook his head.
Lin Feng looked at the rest of the Zhao family and said, "Do you know why?"
Zhao Minglu and others shook their heads in confusion, how could they know.
Lin Feng guided everyone's thoughts and said, "You can put yourself in her shoes and think about her situation."
"She is such a cautious person. She knew she shouldn't touch anything and knew she couldn't do anything unnecessary, but she still did it... This only proves that she had to do it!"
"But what is the reason why she can't even tolerate a sweet-scented osmanthus plant?"
Everyone was puzzled, and Zhao Shiwu simply asked directly: "Why?"
Lin Feng said: "I was also thinking at the time why I couldn't tolerate a sweet-scented osmanthus? Could it be that when she poisoned Zhou Waner, she accidentally left a clue on the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
"But in this case, she can completely replace it with a sweet-scented osmanthus and put it back. There is no need to keep it empty. As long as she changes the sweet-scented osmanthus back before Zhao Minglu takes action, who can find out that it has been replaced?"
"So, the possibility of there being any clues on the sweet-scented osmanthus is not high, so this is even more strange. If there weren't any clues left on the sweet-scented osmanthus, what else could be the reason why she had to get rid of the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
Sun Fujia shook his head and couldn't figure it out.
Lu Chenhe and Zhao Shishi looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Zhao Minglu didn't even remember the bamboo basket and sweet-scented osmanthus, so he couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't make them wait any longer.
"When I can't figure it out..."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "I changed my mind and suddenly thought of another thing. I thought of something I picked up outside Mrs. Zhao's window at the end of the haunting case."
"What you picked up?" Mrs. Zhao was a little confused, and Sun Fuga didn't know about it either.
Zhao Shishi hurriedly asked: "Is it...that cotton ball?"
"Cotton ball?" Everyone was stunned, not knowing what cotton ball it was.
But at this moment, fake Zhao Yanran's face was full of surprise.
She seemed to have thought of something, but had some doubts.
Lin Feng took Zhao Yanran's expression into consideration and nodded slightly: "Yes, it's just a very inconspicuous cotton ball."
With that said, Lin Feng took out the cotton ball he picked up in front of Zhao's window from his arms.
Ms. Zhao was a little confused: "Why does this cotton ball... appear in front of my window? I haven't seen anyone use it."
Zhao Minglu and others also looked confused. It was obvious that they had never seen him before.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "You have never seen this cotton ball, it is normal... After all, someone deliberately hid it, how could you let it be discovered?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while, frowned and said, "Zide, do you mean the fake Zhao Yanran by someone? Do you mean that this cotton ball belongs to her?" Everyone also looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Then I heard Lin Feng say: "I didn't know who the cotton ball belonged to at that time. After all, so many people were at the scene during the haunting case, and at that time I wasn't sure that the culprit was Zhao Yanran."
"So, when I picked up this cotton ball, I didn't know what it was for... It was only the size of a fingertip. Such a small cotton ball obviously couldn't be put in clothes to keep out the cold... Besides, it's not here yet. When you need to wear cotton-padded clothes, it cannot fall out of the clothes..."
"But at that time, because there was no ghost pretender in the haunting case, and there was no abnormality in anyone, I didn't think about the use of such a small cotton ball, so I just put it away casually."
Everyone nodded, let alone at that time, even now, they don't understand the use of this cotton ball.
Zhao Minglu said: "Then why did my benefactor think of cotton balls when thinking about sweet-scented osmanthus? Does this cotton ball have anything to do with the missing sweet-scented osmanthus?"
"That's a good question."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Actually, I not only thought of this cotton ball at that time, I also thought of two other things."
"What two things?" Zhao Minglu asked hurriedly. He had a hunch that decisive evidence might be about to appear.
Everyone also looked at Lin Feng closely.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Feng slowly said: "I thought about the strange death of Zhao Deshun who died in the prison."
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "That word with blood?"
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's another thing... When Zhao Deshun died, there were two sticks of dead grass stuck in his nose."
Sun Fuga said: "It does happen...but does it mean anything?"
Zhao Minglu stared at Lin Feng fiercely. He became more and more focused on the matter related to his father.
Lin Feng said: "What kind of person is Zhao Deshun? He is a very successful businessman. How can he get to where he is today without going through any storms? He must be determined and calm."
"So, for a person like him, if you don't say why he sought death... just talking about what he did after his death, it would definitely not be without purpose."
"The words written in blood, the dead grass in the nose, all have their own special purpose."
"It's just that I never understood the purpose of having two sticks of dead grass stuck in my nose...until..."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at the cotton ball in his hand, and said: "Until I saw the cotton ball in my hand, until I remembered what Zhao Qian said when solving the haunted case, until I looked at the cotton ball that had to disappear. When I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus... all these unrelated things suddenly merged together in my mind."
"I finally understood it all, understood that it was all related, and understood that it was all based on one fact!"
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone became even more confused.
Cotton balls?The disappearing osmanthus?Dead grass in your nose?A word from Zhao Qian?
What are these and what, what do they have to do with each other?
Sun Fujia's heart was like a scratching cat, and he said: "Zide, please reveal the truth quickly, don't interest us!"
Everyone was busy pecking at rice and nodding.
Lin Feng smiled, looked at the fat Zhao Qian, and said, "Do you still remember what you said to the fake Zhao Yanran when I was solving the haunting case?"
Zhao Qian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "She is an outsider, how can she interrupt?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Think again."
"Look what I'm doing, I don't know what's precious or not?"
"I have a really good memory...but it's not this sentence, it's the next sentence."
next sentence...
Zhao Qian suddenly said: "She has been infected with wind and cold since she came to Zhao's house. It has been more than two months and she has not improved..."
"Yes, that's it!" Lin Feng said.
Zhao Qian's face was confused: "What's wrong with this sentence?"
Others were also puzzled. Zhao Minglu said: "She is indeed not getting better."
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the circumstances under which Zhao Qian said this?"
Zhao Qian frowned and said, "She kept coughing in front of me."
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's not that she couldn't stop coughing in front of you, but she was standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When the sweet-scented osmanthus was blown by the wind and the fragrance filled the garden...she kept coughing."
"What?" Zhao Qian was in a daze. She didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
Does this make any difference?
Lin Feng did not explain. She turned to look at Zhao Yanran and said, "Are you really infected with the cold?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's expression finally changed, and the provocation in her eyes turned into horror at this moment.
It was as if the deepest secret had been exposed.
"what?"
Zhao Qian was startled: "You mean she is pretending to be sick?"
Ms. Zhao frowned and said, "She shouldn't be pretending to be sick. You can still tell the difference between the cough she is pretending to be sick and the real cough. She does often have particularly severe coughs. That is not a lie."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I didn't question whether her cough was fake. I just said that she really coughed because of the cold?"
"You know, the Zhao family is so rich that the doctors they hire use the best medicines, but it has been more than two months, and her symptoms have not improved at all..."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao: "Have you never thought that this is abnormal?"
"This..." Mrs. Zhao said: "A big thing happened in the house. The master and Xiangji are gone. The family has no backbone. How can I take care of these things."
Lin Feng nodded: "I can understand."
Zhao Minglu said: "But if she is not cold, what else can make her cough so badly?"
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: "I don't know if you have heard of some people like this... They are usually very healthy, but once they come into contact with certain common things, they will immediately show a strong cough. Red spots or things like that, and lots of itching all over the body.”
"And the things they come into contact with will not cause any problems when ordinary people come into contact with them..."
It’s actually an allergy!
But Lin Feng didn't know what to say about allergies in ancient times, so he didn't specifically mention the word allergy.
He looked at the fake Zhao Yanran and said slowly: "If my prediction is correct... you actually have this symptom, right? The reason why you keep coughing is not a cold at all, but a specific... The things you plant are constantly stimulating you and make you cough uncontrollably!"
"You obviously didn't cough violently when you were in Mrs. Zhao's room, but as soon as you went outside and under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, you coughed so hard that you were immediately disliked by Zhao Qian. So if I guessed correctly... it resulted in... The reason why you have such symptoms is the Osmanthus fragrans that can be seen everywhere in Zhao Mansion!"
"what?"
"Osmanthus fragrans?"
"Will Osmanthus make her sick?"
"real or fake?"
Everyone in the Zhao family was confused, they had never thought of this possibility.
Sun Fuga thought for a while and suddenly said: "Zide, are you talking about ringworm?"
"I have read some medical books, and the medical books contain the disease you mentioned. If someone comes into contact with peach blossoms, they will cough violently and develop ringworm on their skin. This is ringworm of the peach blossom. This is very similar to what you said."
As expected of being the number one scholar, he is truly a man of great learning and wealth, you all know this... Lin Feng felt at ease, and with Sun Fujia's cooperation, it would be easier to explain.
As expected, with Sun Fuga's words, everyone suddenly nodded: "So there really is such a disease."
"Then this fake Zhao Yanran, is it really tinea osmanthus?"
Lin Feng said: "At that time, I just inferred... Later, I even tested it once."
"When did you test it?" Everyone was startled.
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Mrs. Zhao gave us? I asked her at that time if she could also make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and her answer was that she had not learned how to do it."
Zhao nodded: "It does happen."
Lin Feng said: "Is it true that she has not learned anything? She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is so dexterous, how can she not even learn how to make a pastry?"
Zhao's eyes widened: "Is it true?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Obviously...it's not that she doesn't know how to do it, but she has such a disease that she doesn't dare to touch Osmanthus fragrans, so how can she dare to learn it?"
Mrs. Zhao suddenly realized: "So that's it! I really thought she would never be able to learn."
Zhao Minglu, Sun Fuga and others also looked astonished.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "But an inference is an inference after all. Let's verify it on the spot."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Shiwu.
Zhao Shiwu quickly took out a sweet-scented osmanthus plant from his arms.
He grinned and said, "My foster father asked me to break a branch from the Zhao Mansion."
As he spoke, he placed the osmanthus flower under Zhao Yanran's nose.
I saw the next moment——
"Cough cough cough..."
Fake Zhao Yanran suddenly coughed violently.
She coughed until tears streamed down her face and her face turned red.
Lin Feng said: "Okay."
Zhao Shiwu immediately took away the sweet-scented osmanthus. Although Zhao Yanran continued to cough, it was no longer so severe.
Lin Feng said: "Look, she was very normal when there was no Osmanthus fragrans. But as soon as the Osmanthus fragrans came close to her, she immediately started coughing. This is completely consistent with the symptoms I mentioned."
At this moment, no one doubted it anymore.
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that she would have such a strange disease."
Zhao said: "So she coughed so badly in our Zhao Mansion and never got better. It was not caused by the wind and cold at all, but because she had tinea osmanthus?"
Lin Feng picked up the cotton ball in his hand and said, "I have doubts about the fake Zhao Yanran's illness... So many things have been answered immediately."
"What is this cotton ball for? Master Zhao has actually told us."
Zhao Minglu stared: "Father said that?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Mr. Zhao inserted two pieces of dead grass into his nose before he died... The point is not the hay itself, but that there are hay in both noses... I think Mr. Zhao should have figured everything out before he died. .”
"He understood that the real murderer was the fake Zhao Yanran. He should have even noticed the bamboo basket missing the sweet-scented osmanthus in Zhou Waner's room. Then he thought about the fact that the fake Zhao Yanran coughed crazily after arriving at the Zhao Mansion. Don't you know this? Disease, but Mr. Zhao has traveled everywhere and has rich experience, so he may not have seen this disease before... Because of this, he guessed Zhao Yanran's special disease earlier than anyone else."
"So, he blocked his nose with dead grass... just to remind us that there is something wrong with Zhao Yanran's nose."
"Thinking of these..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "You should also understand the purpose of this cotton ball, right?"
Zhao Minglu swallowed and said, "Is it... is it used to block my nose to prevent myself from smelling the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Smart."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Yanran and said: "This kind of disease is a very painful thing. You can't do anything in front of others, you have to endure it... But behind others, how could you let yourself continue to suffer this kind of pain?" ?”
"So you prepare a ball of cotton like this to block your nose so you don't inhale pollen."
"I think...you should still have cotton balls like this on your body, right?"
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at Zhao Qian and said, "Please come and search me."
When Zhao Qian heard Lin Feng's words, she was unusually free of nonsense. She came to the fake Zhao Yanran and started searching savagely.
Soon, she found a handful of cotton balls from the fake Zhao Yanran's arms.
These cotton balls were exactly the same as the cotton balls in Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng looked at the fake Zhao Yanran: "What else do you want to say?"
"You're lucky..." Fake Zhao Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "I don't even know when it fell off."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Now that I understand this, I can think of the reason why there are no osmanthus flowers in the bamboo basket."
"She must ensure that Zhao Minglu really kills Zhou Waner, and that she can tell Zhao Deshun immediately after Zhao Minglu kills the person... Otherwise, if someone else discovers Zhou Waner's death first, her plan will not work."
"So, she had to hide at the scene and take a peek."
"And because she is allergic to osmanthus, even if she blocks her nose with a cotton ball, she is afraid that she will cough when she is close to the osmanthus... After all, it is not something that can be tolerated."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu: "If she couldn't help but cough suddenly when you started to do it, she would probably scare you silly."
Zhao Minglu touched his nose and nodded sheepishly.
Lin Feng continued: "I have said that she is a person who pursues extreme caution. She will never allow this to happen, so she can only take away the osmanthus in the bamboo basket closest to her, so as to at least ensure that she does not I’ll cough out because I can’t help it.”
"Thinking about this... Where is the closest place to this bamboo basket where people can be hidden?"
Lin Feng said: "There is no doubt that it is the beam directly above the bamboo basket."
"That's why...I asked Zhao Shiwu to climb up the beam to check the situation."
"And I also said that all these are bold assumptions and need to be carefully verified... How to verify? If there are traces of a third party on the beam, it will prove that my hypothesis is correct."
"As a result, you also saw it."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd who were listening attentively like primary school students, smiled softly, and said: "There are indeed traces on the beam."
(End of this chapter)
Lin Feng's words were like the cold wind in the middle of the night, blowing in everyone's ears, making everyone feel chilly in their hearts and their hands and feet felt cold.
There was a moment of silence.
Everyone was frightened by the whole story and the extremely sinister and vicious plan of this fake Zhao Yanran.
They really never thought that behind the truth that Zhao Deshun and Zhao Minglu took the initiative to admit that they were the murderers, there was such a sinister and vicious heart hidden behind them!
There is such a terrifying conspiracy!
This calculation is linked to each other, Zhou Waner, Zhao Minglu, and even the shrewdest Zhao Deshun are like chess pieces, controlled in the palm of their hands.
Zhou Waner thought she was going to take control of the Zhao family, but she didn't know that she was the first to step on the road to hell!
Zhao Deshun thought he was taking the blame for his son for the sake of his future, but he didn't know that he was taking the blame for the most vicious fake Zhao Yanran!
Zhao Minglu... was manipulated like a puppet on strings from beginning to end, but he didn't even know it until just now!
What a wonderful drama, what a mind-numbing calculation!
Everyone in the Zhao family couldn't help but shiver. Even when they heard Zhao said it was haunted, they had never felt so cold!
I really answered that sentence...
The viciousness of the human heart is sometimes far more terrifying than ghosts!
"The truth is actually like this..."
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but swallow. He looked at the fake Zhao Yanran who was still very beautiful even though he had become a drowned rat with fear. He couldn't help but said: "You are so pretty, but your heart is so sinister and vicious!"
"Not only did you poison and kill Zhou Waner, you actually used this incident and the feelings of Zhao Deshun and his son to plot against them, making them eventually become murderers that everyone wanted to beat!"
"But you have never been suspected from the beginning to the end. No one even knows that a person like you exists!"
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but shake his head: "I have been an official for so many years, and I thought I had seen many insidious and vicious people, but compared to you, they are really nothing!"
Sun Fujia couldn't help but sigh: "Your thoughts are more vicious and sinister than that of Cuizhu and even more than that of Zhou Ran!"
Wei Zheng's eyes were deep and cold as he stared at the fake Zhao Yanran without saying a word.
Zhao Shiwu scratched his head and felt that the old saying was true, women's hearts are the most poisonous!
The weak Ms. Zhao shook her body, as if she was severely hit by this truth. Her face was pale, even though she was as gentle as she was, she couldn't help but show anger at this time: "My Zhao family has never treated you badly. After you come here, , except for my sister-in-law and Zhou Waner, no one treats you badly, especially the master, who also specifically reminded us... that you have undergone a sudden change, so let us treat you well and make you feel the warmth of home."
"As a result...as a result, our sincerity and kindness were exchanged for you being so cold-blooded and ruthless!"
She couldn't help but said in pain: "Is your heart black? Do you still have a conscience?"
Zhao Minglu hurriedly held Mrs. Zhao tightly, and said with cold eyes: "Auntie, what's the use of talking to this cold-blooded person? If she really had feelings, she wouldn't do these things! She's just an inhumane person. Beast in human skin!”
The arrogant Zhao Qian couldn't help but take a step back. Thinking back to how she had scolded this fake Zhao Yanran, she felt scared. If this fake Zhao Yanran wanted to harm her, wouldn't she have died eight hundred times already?
So insidious, even more insidious than her!Zhao Qian thinks that she is not a very good person, but compared with this fake Zhao Yanran, she feels that she is a good person.
Everyone stared at the fake Zhao Yanran with angry and fearful expressions, but at this moment, the fake Zhao Yanran unexpectedly laughed.
"What a wonderful story."
"but……"
She suddenly looked at Lin Feng and said, "It's just a story! All these inferences are just your own imagination. I don't admit that I did these things."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Fake Zhao Yanran said lightly: "At most, I accidentally saw two dead people, and then picked up a letter from a dead person... I am also a helpless and weak woman. When I read the letter, it said that Zhao Deshun was such a rich businessman. He is a relative of the dead man, and I also want to feel the family affection."
"That's why I took Zhao Yanran's identity and came to the Zhao Mansion... But that's all I did."
As she said that, she looked at Wei Zheng and said with a weak look on her face: "Mr. Wei, I just took the place of someone to feel the warmth of home. I didn't do anything else... So, this shouldn't be a big deal. It’s a sin, right? At least it doesn’t lead to death, right?”
Everyone's eyes widened.
Seeing the fake Zhao Yanran say these words, they just thought that this person is so shameless!
How dare she say such a thing?
Zhao Minglu said: "You...you stole things and killed people, and you still want to escape!?"
Fake Zhao Yanran said calmly: "You must have evidence when you speak...How do you prove that I stole something? How do you prove that I killed someone?"
As she said that, she glanced at Lin Feng indifferently, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "I think in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it shouldn't be said that reasoning without evidence can convict people, right?"
"You..." Zhao Minglu opened his mouth angrily, but didn't know what to say.
After all, what the fake Zhao Yanran said was correct. Lin Feng was indeed reasoning from beginning to end and did not provide any definite evidence.
"Ha! It really didn't surprise me."
At this time, Lin Feng suddenly laughed and looked at the fake Zhao Yanran: "I knew you wouldn't just give in."
"But before you said these words...didn't you think about how to explain your current situation?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's face changed slightly, and she said: "I just came to steal something... You convicted me of stealing, and I admit it! But you said other things about me in the Zhao Mansion, and I don't admit it at all!"
The fake Zhao Yanran was so arrogant. Even though everyone knew now that she was just making excuses for herself, they couldn't help it.
After all, there is really no evidence!
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but look at Lin Feng in embarrassment: "Brother Lin, we must have evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to handle."
Lin Feng smiled: "When did I say there is no evidence?"
"What!?" Everyone looked at Lin Feng hurriedly.
Fake Zhao Yanran also narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said calmly: "On the night I came to Zhao Mansion, I went to Zhou Waner's room to check. Do you know what I found?"
Zhao frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. Lin say that he didn't find anything?"
Fake Zhao Yanran was also present at the time, so she naturally heard Lin Feng's answer.
Lin Feng shook his head, and he said slowly: "I said that just because I didn't want to alert the enemy, and I didn't want the real thief to know the progress of my investigation."
"Actually, I found traces of a third person in Zhou Waner's room."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Shiwu.
My adoptive father gave me another chance to show off... Zhao Shiwu immediately straightened his back and said, "My adoptive father asked me to climb on the beam to check the situation. As a result... I found traces on the beam, and the dust on it There are obvious signs of someone crawling on it.”
Lin Feng looked at Zhao: "I said before when analyzing the haunted case that no matter how clean you are, there will be dust on the beams, and as long as you do something on the beams, there will be traces."
"So, the dust on the beam is enough to prove...that someone has been hiding on it, and that's exactly what..."
Lin Feng turned to look at the fake Zhao Yanran: "I am truly sure that there is a third party."
Fake Zhao Yanran frowned and said nothing.
Lin Feng continued: "Then do you know why I asked Zhao Shiwu to check the condition of the beam? There was obviously nothing unusual about the dust on the ground at that time."
She still doesn't speak.
Still praising Zhao Shishi, he promptly said: "Yes, foster father, I am also very curious. I was in Mrs. Zhao's room at that time because Mrs. Zhao misled you, so you asked me to check the beam... But in Zhou Waner's room, you I was asked to check it out for no reason.”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not for no reason... During the investigation process, I will not do anything unrelated to the case, which is likely to disturb my thoughts. Everything I do has a purpose. "
Zhao Shiwu asked doubtfully: "That is?"
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the empty bamboo basket on the wall of Zhou Waner's room?"
Zhao Shishi thought for a while: "My foster father seemed to have been staring at it for a long time."
Lin Feng turned to look at the fake Zhao Yanran, half-smiling but not smiling: "Why do you think I stared at it for so long?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and her expression began to flicker.
Lin Feng laughed, looked at Zhao Minglu, and asked, "When you secretly entered Zhou Waner's room that night, did you notice that there were some bamboo baskets on the wall of Zhou Waner's room, and there were osmanthus flowers in the bamboo baskets?"
Zhao Minglu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I was so nervous at the time, how could I pay attention to the bamboo basket."
"Bamboo basket?"
At this time, Mrs. Zhao seemed to have thought of something. She said, "Mr. Lin is talking about the osmanthus bouquet that Zhou Waner used to decorate the room?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Has Mrs. Zhao noticed it?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Perhaps because we are both women, I will pay more attention to the decoration in the room... I remember that there were several bamboo baskets hung on the walls of Zhou Waner's room, and the bamboo baskets were filled with sweet-scented osmanthus. , but there was no sweet-scented osmanthus in one of the bamboo baskets. At that time, I thought why there was no sweet-scented osmanthus, but I didn’t think much about it, and later I forgot about it.”
She asked curiously: "Master Lin mentioned this empty bamboo basket. Is there anything wrong with this bamboo basket?"
When Zhao Minglu and others heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Actually, when I saw the diabolo basket at first, I didn't know if there was anything wrong with it."
"After all, this is the first time I went to Zhou Waner's room. I don't know what Zhou Waner's room was like before the incident. I also asked the maid, and the maid said that Zhou Waner did not let them enter the room easily. The room was decorated by Zhou Waner herself, so they It can’t give me any useful information.”
"So, at first I just thought it might be a bit strange, but I didn't think much about it."
Zhao nodded, she understood what Lin Feng meant.
But since Lin Feng said that, there must be a follow-up. She asked: "What happened next?"
Lin Feng said: "Later I saw Zhou Waner's rouge gouache and sachet, and saw the water glasses and kettles on the table. At this time, I suddenly felt something was wrong."
He looked at everyone and said: "You may not have noticed that Zhou Waner's rouge, gouache and sachets are placed very neatly and neatly. The water cups and kettles on the table are also placed very neatly. All the cups are perfectly symmetrical. There isn’t even the slightest bit of angle confusion…what does this mean?”
Everyone was still thinking when they heard Lin Feng say: "It means that she is definitely a person who likes to be neat and orderly, and even has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder... You don't need to understand what obsessive-compulsive disorder is, you just need to know that she requires orderliness everywhere in this kind of life. Among the decorations she personally arranged, all the bamboo baskets on the wall had osmanthus flowers, but one bamboo basket was empty... This kind of imperfection was definitely a very painful visual sense for her."
"So I immediately felt that something was wrong with the empty bamboo basket. It was most likely not caused by Zhou Waner. But if it wasn't caused by Zhou Waner, then who could have caused it? Who would have taken away the sweet-scented osmanthus there?"
Everyone in the Zhao Mansion shook their heads. None of them went to get any sweet-scented osmanthus.
Lin Feng said: "I asked the little maid, and she said that the bamboo basket was empty on the night Zhou Waner died... This means that the people who came after you did not take it away, and Zhou Waner's temperament was even worse when he was alive. It won’t be left empty.”
"So, if my hypothesis is correct, the person who took away this sweet-scented osmanthus plant is definitely the third party who hid it the most!"
Everyone thought for a while, and then nodded like chickens.
They all thought it made sense.
Lu Chenhe said: "So Brother Lin, you used this empty bamboo basket to directly conclude that there was a third party, and then discovered the traces on the beam?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "It's still far from a complete conclusion. I just have a certain hypothesis. After all, no one knows whether it was Zhou Waner's fault."
"But that's not important. In our prison, isn't it about 'bold assumptions and careful verification'?"
“When I have some confidence that the possibility of this hypothesis exists, we can then reason based on it.”
"If I encounter a logical flaw in the middle, or find a problem during the verification stage, it will prove that this hypothesis is wrong, and I can directly abandon this hypothesis and turn to another direction."
Sun Fuga nodded, this was indeed their usual method.
When there is no substantial discovery in the investigation, it is better to boldly assume many possibilities, but you must be careful enough in the verification process and must not be too subjective.
Otherwise, it will be just like when Lu Chenhe caught ghosts, he will be wrong.
Lin Feng continued: "So, at that time, I assumed that the empty bamboo basket was not caused by Zhou Waner...then it could only be caused by a hidden third party."
"But if it was a third party, why did she take away the osmanthus in this bamboo basket?"
"You know, this osmanthus is not a precious thing. You can see it everywhere in Zhao's mansion... She is such a cautious person. If she wants to hide herself deeply, it is best not to touch anything, but she just takes it Gone is Osmanthus…why?”
When everyone heard this, they all frowned and started thinking.
Indeed, very strange.
Sun Fuga frowned and said: "It is indeed a bit unreasonable. There is no need for her to do such unnecessary things."
Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out, and Lu Chenhe just shook his head.
Lin Feng looked at the rest of the Zhao family and said, "Do you know why?"
Zhao Minglu and others shook their heads in confusion, how could they know.
Lin Feng guided everyone's thoughts and said, "You can put yourself in her shoes and think about her situation."
"She is such a cautious person. She knew she shouldn't touch anything and knew she couldn't do anything unnecessary, but she still did it... This only proves that she had to do it!"
"But what is the reason why she can't even tolerate a sweet-scented osmanthus plant?"
Everyone was puzzled, and Zhao Shiwu simply asked directly: "Why?"
Lin Feng said: "I was also thinking at the time why I couldn't tolerate a sweet-scented osmanthus? Could it be that when she poisoned Zhou Waner, she accidentally left a clue on the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
"But in this case, she can completely replace it with a sweet-scented osmanthus and put it back. There is no need to keep it empty. As long as she changes the sweet-scented osmanthus back before Zhao Minglu takes action, who can find out that it has been replaced?"
"So, the possibility of there being any clues on the sweet-scented osmanthus is not high, so this is even more strange. If there weren't any clues left on the sweet-scented osmanthus, what else could be the reason why she had to get rid of the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
Sun Fujia shook his head and couldn't figure it out.
Lu Chenhe and Zhao Shishi looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Zhao Minglu didn't even remember the bamboo basket and sweet-scented osmanthus, so he couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't make them wait any longer.
"When I can't figure it out..."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd and said, "I changed my mind and suddenly thought of another thing. I thought of something I picked up outside Mrs. Zhao's window at the end of the haunting case."
"What you picked up?" Mrs. Zhao was a little confused, and Sun Fuga didn't know about it either.
Zhao Shishi hurriedly asked: "Is it...that cotton ball?"
"Cotton ball?" Everyone was stunned, not knowing what cotton ball it was.
But at this moment, fake Zhao Yanran's face was full of surprise.
She seemed to have thought of something, but had some doubts.
Lin Feng took Zhao Yanran's expression into consideration and nodded slightly: "Yes, it's just a very inconspicuous cotton ball."
With that said, Lin Feng took out the cotton ball he picked up in front of Zhao's window from his arms.
Ms. Zhao was a little confused: "Why does this cotton ball... appear in front of my window? I haven't seen anyone use it."
Zhao Minglu and others also looked confused. It was obvious that they had never seen him before.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "You have never seen this cotton ball, it is normal... After all, someone deliberately hid it, how could you let it be discovered?"
Sun Fujia thought for a while, frowned and said, "Zide, do you mean the fake Zhao Yanran by someone? Do you mean that this cotton ball belongs to her?" Everyone also looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Then I heard Lin Feng say: "I didn't know who the cotton ball belonged to at that time. After all, so many people were at the scene during the haunting case, and at that time I wasn't sure that the culprit was Zhao Yanran."
"So, when I picked up this cotton ball, I didn't know what it was for... It was only the size of a fingertip. Such a small cotton ball obviously couldn't be put in clothes to keep out the cold... Besides, it's not here yet. When you need to wear cotton-padded clothes, it cannot fall out of the clothes..."
"But at that time, because there was no ghost pretender in the haunting case, and there was no abnormality in anyone, I didn't think about the use of such a small cotton ball, so I just put it away casually."
Everyone nodded, let alone at that time, even now, they don't understand the use of this cotton ball.
Zhao Minglu said: "Then why did my benefactor think of cotton balls when thinking about sweet-scented osmanthus? Does this cotton ball have anything to do with the missing sweet-scented osmanthus?"
"That's a good question."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Actually, I not only thought of this cotton ball at that time, I also thought of two other things."
"What two things?" Zhao Minglu asked hurriedly. He had a hunch that decisive evidence might be about to appear.
Everyone also looked at Lin Feng closely.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Feng slowly said: "I thought about the strange death of Zhao Deshun who died in the prison."
Sun Fuga frowned and said, "That word with blood?"
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's another thing... When Zhao Deshun died, there were two sticks of dead grass stuck in his nose."
Sun Fuga said: "It does happen...but does it mean anything?"
Zhao Minglu stared at Lin Feng fiercely. He became more and more focused on the matter related to his father.
Lin Feng said: "What kind of person is Zhao Deshun? He is a very successful businessman. How can he get to where he is today without going through any storms? He must be determined and calm."
"So, for a person like him, if you don't say why he sought death... just talking about what he did after his death, it would definitely not be without purpose."
"The words written in blood, the dead grass in the nose, all have their own special purpose."
"It's just that I never understood the purpose of having two sticks of dead grass stuck in my nose...until..."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at the cotton ball in his hand, and said: "Until I saw the cotton ball in my hand, until I remembered what Zhao Qian said when solving the haunted case, until I looked at the cotton ball that had to disappear. When I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus... all these unrelated things suddenly merged together in my mind."
"I finally understood it all, understood that it was all related, and understood that it was all based on one fact!"
Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone became even more confused.
Cotton balls?The disappearing osmanthus?Dead grass in your nose?A word from Zhao Qian?
What are these and what, what do they have to do with each other?
Sun Fujia's heart was like a scratching cat, and he said: "Zide, please reveal the truth quickly, don't interest us!"
Everyone was busy pecking at rice and nodding.
Lin Feng smiled, looked at the fat Zhao Qian, and said, "Do you still remember what you said to the fake Zhao Yanran when I was solving the haunting case?"
Zhao Qian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "She is an outsider, how can she interrupt?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Think again."
"Look what I'm doing, I don't know what's precious or not?"
"I have a really good memory...but it's not this sentence, it's the next sentence."
next sentence...
Zhao Qian suddenly said: "She has been infected with wind and cold since she came to Zhao's house. It has been more than two months and she has not improved..."
"Yes, that's it!" Lin Feng said.
Zhao Qian's face was confused: "What's wrong with this sentence?"
Others were also puzzled. Zhao Minglu said: "She is indeed not getting better."
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the circumstances under which Zhao Qian said this?"
Zhao Qian frowned and said, "She kept coughing in front of me."
"No!"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's not that she couldn't stop coughing in front of you, but she was standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When the sweet-scented osmanthus was blown by the wind and the fragrance filled the garden...she kept coughing."
"What?" Zhao Qian was in a daze. She didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
Does this make any difference?
Lin Feng did not explain. She turned to look at Zhao Yanran and said, "Are you really infected with the cold?"
Fake Zhao Yanran's expression finally changed, and the provocation in her eyes turned into horror at this moment.
It was as if the deepest secret had been exposed.
"what?"
Zhao Qian was startled: "You mean she is pretending to be sick?"
Ms. Zhao frowned and said, "She shouldn't be pretending to be sick. You can still tell the difference between the cough she is pretending to be sick and the real cough. She does often have particularly severe coughs. That is not a lie."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I didn't question whether her cough was fake. I just said that she really coughed because of the cold?"
"You know, the Zhao family is so rich that the doctors they hire use the best medicines, but it has been more than two months, and her symptoms have not improved at all..."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao: "Have you never thought that this is abnormal?"
"This..." Mrs. Zhao said: "A big thing happened in the house. The master and Xiangji are gone. The family has no backbone. How can I take care of these things."
Lin Feng nodded: "I can understand."
Zhao Minglu said: "But if she is not cold, what else can make her cough so badly?"
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: "I don't know if you have heard of some people like this... They are usually very healthy, but once they come into contact with certain common things, they will immediately show a strong cough. Red spots or things like that, and lots of itching all over the body.”
"And the things they come into contact with will not cause any problems when ordinary people come into contact with them..."
It’s actually an allergy!
But Lin Feng didn't know what to say about allergies in ancient times, so he didn't specifically mention the word allergy.
He looked at the fake Zhao Yanran and said slowly: "If my prediction is correct... you actually have this symptom, right? The reason why you keep coughing is not a cold at all, but a specific... The things you plant are constantly stimulating you and make you cough uncontrollably!"
"You obviously didn't cough violently when you were in Mrs. Zhao's room, but as soon as you went outside and under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, you coughed so hard that you were immediately disliked by Zhao Qian. So if I guessed correctly... it resulted in... The reason why you have such symptoms is the Osmanthus fragrans that can be seen everywhere in Zhao Mansion!"
"what?"
"Osmanthus fragrans?"
"Will Osmanthus make her sick?"
"real or fake?"
Everyone in the Zhao family was confused, they had never thought of this possibility.
Sun Fuga thought for a while and suddenly said: "Zide, are you talking about ringworm?"
"I have read some medical books, and the medical books contain the disease you mentioned. If someone comes into contact with peach blossoms, they will cough violently and develop ringworm on their skin. This is ringworm of the peach blossom. This is very similar to what you said."
As expected of being the number one scholar, he is truly a man of great learning and wealth, you all know this... Lin Feng felt at ease, and with Sun Fujia's cooperation, it would be easier to explain.
As expected, with Sun Fuga's words, everyone suddenly nodded: "So there really is such a disease."
"Then this fake Zhao Yanran, is it really tinea osmanthus?"
Lin Feng said: "At that time, I just inferred... Later, I even tested it once."
"When did you test it?" Everyone was startled.
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Mrs. Zhao gave us? I asked her at that time if she could also make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and her answer was that she had not learned how to do it."
Zhao nodded: "It does happen."
Lin Feng said: "Is it true that she has not learned anything? She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is so dexterous, how can she not even learn how to make a pastry?"
Zhao's eyes widened: "Is it true?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Obviously...it's not that she doesn't know how to do it, but she has such a disease that she doesn't dare to touch Osmanthus fragrans, so how can she dare to learn it?"
Mrs. Zhao suddenly realized: "So that's it! I really thought she would never be able to learn."
Zhao Minglu, Sun Fuga and others also looked astonished.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "But an inference is an inference after all. Let's verify it on the spot."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Shiwu.
Zhao Shiwu quickly took out a sweet-scented osmanthus plant from his arms.
He grinned and said, "My foster father asked me to break a branch from the Zhao Mansion."
As he spoke, he placed the osmanthus flower under Zhao Yanran's nose.
I saw the next moment——
"Cough cough cough..."
Fake Zhao Yanran suddenly coughed violently.
She coughed until tears streamed down her face and her face turned red.
Lin Feng said: "Okay."
Zhao Shiwu immediately took away the sweet-scented osmanthus. Although Zhao Yanran continued to cough, it was no longer so severe.
Lin Feng said: "Look, she was very normal when there was no Osmanthus fragrans. But as soon as the Osmanthus fragrans came close to her, she immediately started coughing. This is completely consistent with the symptoms I mentioned."
At this moment, no one doubted it anymore.
Lu Chenhe couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that she would have such a strange disease."
Zhao said: "So she coughed so badly in our Zhao Mansion and never got better. It was not caused by the wind and cold at all, but because she had tinea osmanthus?"
Lin Feng picked up the cotton ball in his hand and said, "I have doubts about the fake Zhao Yanran's illness... So many things have been answered immediately."
"What is this cotton ball for? Master Zhao has actually told us."
Zhao Minglu stared: "Father said that?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Mr. Zhao inserted two pieces of dead grass into his nose before he died... The point is not the hay itself, but that there are hay in both noses... I think Mr. Zhao should have figured everything out before he died. .”
"He understood that the real murderer was the fake Zhao Yanran. He should have even noticed the bamboo basket missing the sweet-scented osmanthus in Zhou Waner's room. Then he thought about the fact that the fake Zhao Yanran coughed crazily after arriving at the Zhao Mansion. Don't you know this? Disease, but Mr. Zhao has traveled everywhere and has rich experience, so he may not have seen this disease before... Because of this, he guessed Zhao Yanran's special disease earlier than anyone else."
"So, he blocked his nose with dead grass... just to remind us that there is something wrong with Zhao Yanran's nose."
"Thinking of these..."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "You should also understand the purpose of this cotton ball, right?"
Zhao Minglu swallowed and said, "Is it... is it used to block my nose to prevent myself from smelling the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Smart."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Yanran and said: "This kind of disease is a very painful thing. You can't do anything in front of others, you have to endure it... But behind others, how could you let yourself continue to suffer this kind of pain?" ?”
"So you prepare a ball of cotton like this to block your nose so you don't inhale pollen."
"I think...you should still have cotton balls like this on your body, right?"
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at Zhao Qian and said, "Please come and search me."
When Zhao Qian heard Lin Feng's words, she was unusually free of nonsense. She came to the fake Zhao Yanran and started searching savagely.
Soon, she found a handful of cotton balls from the fake Zhao Yanran's arms.
These cotton balls were exactly the same as the cotton balls in Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng looked at the fake Zhao Yanran: "What else do you want to say?"
"You're lucky..." Fake Zhao Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "I don't even know when it fell off."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Now that I understand this, I can think of the reason why there are no osmanthus flowers in the bamboo basket."
"She must ensure that Zhao Minglu really kills Zhou Waner, and that she can tell Zhao Deshun immediately after Zhao Minglu kills the person... Otherwise, if someone else discovers Zhou Waner's death first, her plan will not work."
"So, she had to hide at the scene and take a peek."
"And because she is allergic to osmanthus, even if she blocks her nose with a cotton ball, she is afraid that she will cough when she is close to the osmanthus... After all, it is not something that can be tolerated."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu: "If she couldn't help but cough suddenly when you started to do it, she would probably scare you silly."
Zhao Minglu touched his nose and nodded sheepishly.
Lin Feng continued: "I have said that she is a person who pursues extreme caution. She will never allow this to happen, so she can only take away the osmanthus in the bamboo basket closest to her, so as to at least ensure that she does not I’ll cough out because I can’t help it.”
"Thinking about this... Where is the closest place to this bamboo basket where people can be hidden?"
Lin Feng said: "There is no doubt that it is the beam directly above the bamboo basket."
"That's why...I asked Zhao Shiwu to climb up the beam to check the situation."
"And I also said that all these are bold assumptions and need to be carefully verified... How to verify? If there are traces of a third party on the beam, it will prove that my hypothesis is correct."
"As a result, you also saw it."
Lin Feng looked at the crowd who were listening attentively like primary school students, smiled softly, and said: "There are indeed traces on the beam."
