People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically
Chapter 79 The truth is revealed!He is the poisoner!
Chapter 79 The truth is revealed!He is the poisoner! (Two in one, a big chapter of [-] words)
With the direction in hand, the people from Dali Temple took action quickly.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Feng said: "Mr. Xiao, please give me the confessions of Dai Shangshu and the other four."
These things had been carried by Xiao Yu. As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly handed the confession to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes fell on the paper.
The content of the confession mainly focuses on what each person did during that hour.
The cook was concentrating on cooking, and the attendant was waiting aside. When the meal was ready, he immediately went to deliver it. Honglu Temple Prime Minister had not been in the post house before, so he immediately met Zhang Yuluo after arriving at the post house, and drank a cup of tea during the communication process. , Dai Zhou came shortly after leaving.
This is no different from what Xiao Yu introduced before.
And because these people have no witnesses to prove their words when they do these things, there is a possibility that they are lying.
However, because no poisonous ingredients were detected in the food and tea, the suspicion level was reduced.
But now, he brought up the possibility of tableware, and as for tableware, bowls and chopsticks, the cooks and attendants could have access to them, as could tea cup Qin Wen and Dai Zhou, and their suspicions began to increase.
However, Xiao Yu had people search the bodies of several people, as well as the rooms of the cooks and attendants, but nothing containing poison was found...
Looking at these confessions, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain was constantly screening everyone's words, using logic and many side details to judge whether their words were false.
But the result... the situation is not optimistic.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and returned the confession to Xiao Yu. He pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Xiao, take me to Zhang Yuluo's room to have a look. It seems that there are no special clues here. I'll go check it out." Look where he had breakfast.”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he naturally would not refuse.
Soon, Xiao Yu led Lin Feng and others to Zhang Yeluo's room.
Opening the door, a spacious room comes into view.
Xiao Yu said: "This is it."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, walked into the room, and looked around. The room was very spacious.
When you walk in the door, there is a table with tea sets on it and stools around it.
Not far away is a bookshelf with some books, flower pots and other decorations placed on it. This was a way to show the culture of the Tang Dynasty to foreign envoys.
The bookshelf is adjacent to several cabinets used to store the envoys' luggage.
Then there is a bed inward. The bed is large and can accommodate two people to rest without being crowded.
There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The calligraphy is the calligraphy of famous artists and the paintings are landscape paintings.
The room was cleaned very clean and the floor was spotless. It was obvious that Honglu Temple entertained the envoys with great care and seriousness.
While observing the room, he asked, "Before and after Zhang Yeluo's death, was there anything missing in his room?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, everything is there."
"He doesn't have much luggage. I've asked Meng Shezhao's guards to check it out. There's nothing missing."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he came to the cabinet. He opened a cabinet and said, "His things are all in there and no one has touched them."
Lin Feng walked over, took out the items from the cabinet, and placed them on the cabinet cover.
There are only two bags, and one bag is full of clothes. There are five clothes in total, enough for changing.
Another bundle contained several money bags containing some small jewelry and copper plates.
Lin Feng rummaged through the clothes and looked at the money bag to make sure there was nothing wrong with these things. He nodded slightly and put them back.
He stood by the cabinet, looking around the room to make sure there was no place in the room that he had overlooked, and asked: "Mr. Xiao, I wonder who the envoys sent by Meng She this time are, besides Zhang Yeluo?"
Xiao Yu didn't hide anything and said directly: "In addition to the eldest prince Zhang Yeluo, there are also Lu Keduo, the prime minister of Meng Shezhao, and the general Xisha Luo."
"Prime Minister? General?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "They are all important ministers."
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Meng Shezhao is a small country that wants to meet with me, the Tang Dynasty. Only such a formation can show their sincerity. Moreover, they come here to ask for something from me, the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, such a staffing configuration Not a surprise.”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "What is their relationship with Zhang Yeluo? What is their personality like?"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "Do you doubt them?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Not really, I just want to get to know the people around Zhang Yeluo. I'm going to meet them later, and maybe I can get some clues from them... So I have to know their situation first, so as not to make mistakes later."
Xiao Yu understood what Lin Feng meant. If poison could really be found in the tableware, he would have to find a way to determine who used the tableware to poison him.
There is still a long way to go before the poisoning case can be completely solved.
He said directly without any hesitation: "Prime Minister Lu Keduo is quite wise and has some scheming personalities. You should be more cautious when facing him."
"As a military general, Xishaluo is just like an ordinary military general. He has a straightforward temper, a bit of a bad temper, and gets angry easily... This time Zhang Yeluo died, and we sealed the post again and did not allow them to move around. Xishaluo was very He is dissatisfied. If you see him soon, be careful about his temper."
"As for their relationship with Zhang Yeluo, this official is not sure. After all, they just came to the Tang Dynasty not long ago, and even the people from Honglu Temple didn't have much contact with them... But on the surface, they have Zhang Yeluo is very respectful."
A scheming old fox, a grumpy powder keg, and a great prince who is qualified to inherit the throne... This configuration is indeed not bad. He is calm when he should be calm and impulsive when he should be. He can handle many situations.
Lin Feng nodded: "I understand."
At this time, the door was opened, and the guards successively brought over the tableware used by Zhang Yeluo and the food he had eaten.
Lin Feng asked them to put these things on the table.
Soon, the table was almost full.
Everyone stepped forward, and Lin Feng looked at Wu Zuo and the imperial doctor who were checking the tableware, and asked, "How long will it take for the results to be available?"
The imperial doctor thought for a while and said, "At least two quarters of an hour."
Lin Feng nodded: "Don't worry, you can verify it slowly."
After saying that, he looked at the food on the table and asked Xiao Yu: "Mr. Xiao, is this what Zhang Yuluo ate in the morning?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "That's it."
Lin Feng looked at the food and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The food of Prince Meng Shezhao is a bit mixed."
In the middle of the table, there was a large pot of boiled mutton, half of the mutton bones were exposed, and many peppercorns were floating on the soup. You can imagine how numb this pot of boiled mutton would be.
There are two plates of side dishes on the side. The side dishes are mainly wild vegetables.
There are also some biscuits piled high on the plate.
The bowl of Chaos was half eaten.
Finally, there was a small plate with a pool of red stuff on it. I don’t know what it was originally.
Seeing Lin Feng looking at the plate that he couldn't tell what it was, Xiao Yu introduced: "This is Sushan. It is made with 'su' as the base. It needs to be frozen in the ice cellar and the pattern is carved. The red color is made of The red petals are broken into pieces and the color is refined. It is very delicate when it is made. It is a very important dish for our Tang Dynasty to entertain foreign envoys."
Lin Feng was drooling just listening to it.
He had really heard of Sushan. It was said that Sushan was the ice cream of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called Sushan was something like butter and ghee, which was considered a kind of dairy product.
Lin Feng stretched out his fingertips and wiped it on the plate, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Not to mention, it really felt like ice cream.
Wiping the ice cream on his fingertips casually, Lin Feng looked at the food on the half table, including all kinds of staple food, main dishes and desserts. Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh... He really deserves to be a prince, he just knows how to eat.
These vegetables have been checked and are not poisonous, so Lin Feng does not waste any more time on them.
He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, where is Zhang Ye's body?"
Xiao Yu said: "It's in the next room. We can't keep throwing his body in the main hall. But the case hasn't been solved and we can't move it around... so we have to put it alone first."
Lin Feng understood very well: "Take me to see it."
Many times, the clues conveyed by the corpse will be more accurate than the confessions of others.
Naturally, Xiao Yu would not refuse and took Lin Feng and others directly to the next room.
When he opened the door, Lin Feng saw the body on the ground.
Under the firelight, it was really seeping.
Zhang Yeluo had a ferocious look on his face, his face was distorted, his orifices were bleeding, and there was an obvious pool of blood on his heart. Under the dim candlelight, he looked really scary.
Looking at the distorted face, one can imagine how painful Zhang Yeluo would be when he died.
Lin Feng walked over and checked Zhang Yeluo's condition.
He knelt down and glanced at Zhang Yeluo's body. He saw a little dust on Zhang Yeluo's clothes and a little dust on his hands and hair. He thought it was from rolling in pain on the floor in the front hall.
Lin Feng lifted Zhang Yeluo's clothes and took a look at his heart... Sure enough, as Xiao Yu said, the blood vessels burst open and dripped with blood.
"This poison is really powerful. What grudge does the poisoner have against Zhang Yeluo? He used such painful poison." Lin Feng said.
Xiao Yu and the others were naturally unable to answer this question.
At this time, Lin Feng found a handkerchief in Zhang Yeluo's sleeve.
In ancient times, both men and women would carry handkerchiefs with them to remove dust, wipe their mouths, and remove sweat, so as not to behave inappropriately in front of others.
Looking at the clean appearance of the handkerchief, he shook his head and sighed with emotion: "The master is covered in blood, but his handkerchief should have been dirty for the master, but instead it is so clean... Things in this world are always so contradictory."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Wei Zheng and others also felt a little sad.
Having seen too many cases and too many human tragedies, they felt even more deeply about Lin Feng's words.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be raised but the relatives don't wait for it, the world is always so cruel.
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yeluo's distorted expression, looked at the eyes that were still open with pain and anger, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to close Zhang Yeluo's eyes.
"okay."
Lin Feng stood up and said, "I can't tell anything about this corpse. I'd better go see the prime minister and general of Meng Shezhao. I hope they can give me some clues to help me find the real murderer, so that Zhang Yeluo can truly Close your eyes."
Time was running out, so Xiao Yu naturally would not delay. He said: "Since Zhang Yeluo's incident, everyone has been controlled. Prime Minister Meng Shezhao and the general have also been locked in the room by us, and they are not allowed to enter or exit. , Not long ago they asked us to ask us about the progress of the case, and they probably haven't rested yet."
Lin Feng nodded: "Let's go meet them."
Several people walked through the corridor, and after not walking far, they arrived in front of a room where candles were being lit.
There are Jinwu guards guarding the outside of the room.
Several figures could be seen walking back and forth in the room.
Approaching the door, you can hear a loud voice: "The Tang Dynasty is really a bully! Our prince was brutally killed by thieves, but not only did they not give us an explanation, they trapped us here and refused to let us participate. Investigate, no matter how weak I, Meng Shezhao, am, I can’t stand such bullying!”
"Prime Minister, aren't you usually the most clever and resourceful? Why haven't you said anything in the past two days and just let them bully me?"
When Lin Feng heard this, he paused slightly. He looked at Xiao Yu, who was a little embarrassed and said: "This is the hot-tempered general Xishaluo. Xishaluo is very hard on us to control their freedom and prevent them from personally participating in the investigation." I’m dissatisfied, but I can’t help it... Before the case is investigated, everyone in this post is suspected, even Dai Shangshu is locked in the room, how can we let them move freely? "
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Didn't the wise Prime Minister never speak? This shows that there are still people who understand."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Lu Keduo really didn't say anything and has been very cooperative."
At this time, everyone heard a steady voice coming from the room: "The Tang Dynasty has sent the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate in person, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only gave them three days, which shows that the Tang Dynasty also hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible. Ji, neither you nor I are good at investigating cases, so what's the use of getting involved? Why not wait patiently, if there is still no result after three days, it's not too late for us to speak again."
"At that time, Datang will surely give us a satisfactory explanation."
boom!
The sound of pounding the table sounded: "I am just dissatisfied! The death of the eldest prince in the post house is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who the murderer is, the Tang Dynasty must give us a satisfactory explanation! Our eldest prince cannot let it go in vain. Die here!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the expressions of Xiao Yu and others changed slightly.
The death of an envoy from another country in the Tang Dynasty posthouse was a blow to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who the murderer was.
The Tang Dynasty has always been called the Celestial Kingdom and was visited by foreign countries.
As a result, such a heavenly dynasty could not even protect its envoys, so they died in the posthouse of Chang'an City, and they died in such pain!
Even if the murderer is caught, it will be difficult to cover up Datang's mistakes.
If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Meng Shezhao, and even the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and other countries.
This is still a situation where the murderer can be found. If the murderer cannot be found within three days, the situation will only get worse.
This is no longer just a simple murder case.
This is a major matter concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Sun Fujia's face was solemn. As a rich scholar who had read all over history, he knew very well how troublesome this matter would be in the future.
If the forces hostile to the Tang Dynasty use this to incite, the impact will be even worse.
Wei Zheng, who had always been calm, could not help but frown at this moment.
Even Cheng Chumo lost interest in watching the excitement at this moment and felt quite heavy inside.
Lin Feng's eyes swept over everyone one by one. He could feel the heavy emotions of everyone. He thought for a while and said: "We will talk about the follow-up later. The most important thing now is to find the real culprit. If he even finds the real culprit, If not, that’s the real trouble.”
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "That's right, at least find the real murderer first."
With that said, he ordered someone to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, there was silence in the room, and Lin Feng and others walked in.
Entering the room, Lin Feng saw six people in the room.
Sitting on the main seat is a man in his fifties. He has a calm expression and a calm face. He is holding a teacup at the moment. It can be seen that he must be a steady-minded person, probably the old fox Prime Minister Lu Keduo.
Beside Lu Keduo, there were people standing and sitting. They were all wearing Meng Shezhao's clothes and should be accompanying officials.
Opposite them, sat a burly man with a beard and bright eyes like copper bells. When this man saw Lin Feng and others coming in, he immediately glared at him. His dissatisfaction could not be concealed, and his face was full of anger. And it turned red, even his fingers were red, like a crab, and his whole body turned red... It seemed that he was the powder keg general Xisara.
Seeing Lin Feng and others entering, Prime Minister Lu Keduo immediately put the tea cup on the table, then stood up and handed over his hands with a warm attitude: "Xiao Siqing, you are here late at night, but has there been any progress in the case?"
As soon as Xisara heard this, he stood up immediately: "Is there really any progress?"
Looking at the reactions of the two people, Lin Feng felt lucky that he had discovered the omissions of Xiao Yu and the others, otherwise just these two sentences would have been enough to embarrass Xiao Yu and the others.
Xiao Yu had obviously thought of this, and glanced at Lin Feng gratefully, then nodded slightly: "I do have some new conjectures."
Xisara hurriedly asked: "What new conjecture?"
Xiao Yu did not hide anything from them. After all, if no new progress was made, envoys like Meng Shezhao would really think that they were all useless.
Moreover, after the murderer is found, he still needs to deal with follow-up affairs with these envoys. It is not appropriate to offend them too deeply and make them too dissatisfied.
He said: "Our Dali Temple's best at solving cases, Lin Feng, the chief of the temple, has just returned from overseas. When he came back, he proposed a poisoning method that we had not considered."
"What method of poisoning?" Xisara asked, and Lu Keduo also looked curiously.
Facing them, Xiao Yu finally straightened up because of the progress in the case. He said: "Zide said, the reason why we couldn't find traces of poison in Zhang Yeluo's food is because the murderer did not use the poison at all. Get down into the food.”
"It's not in the food?" Xisara was stunned: "Where else could it be?"
"On the cutlery!"
Xiao Yu said directly: "Bowls, chopsticks, spoons, teacups, anything that Zhang Yeluo can touch his mouth is suspect!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xishaluo was stunned. He scratched his head and couldn't help but look at Lu Keduo.
Lu Keduo's dark eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "This is indeed something we have never thought of... tableware, yes, these things can also be poisoned!"
He immediately looked at the people beside Xiao Yu and said, "Who is Lin Si Cheng? How could he think of this so quickly?"
Lin Feng smiled softly, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "You are not talented, you are exactly what I am."
The eyes of Lu Keduo and Xisara fell on Lin Feng at the same time. Lin Feng could feel their eyes looking up and down. His expression remained unchanged and he allowed them to look at him.
Lu Keduo looked at Lin Feng's extraordinary temperament and couldn't help but nodded and said: "He is indeed the best among men."
"Mummy Mummy."
Xishaluo said: "Since you are so powerful, why not quickly find the real culprit and avenge my eldest prince!"
Lin Feng raised his eyelids, Wu Mansion was vulgar, how could an old fox speak nicely.
Xiao Yu said at this time: "Zide came to see you here just to get some information and see if he can find more clues."
Hearing this, Lu Keduo hurriedly said, "Just ask Lin Sicheng, we will definitely tell you everything we know."
Lin Feng was naturally not polite. He said directly: "May I ask the Prime Minister, when was the last time you saw Zhang Yeluo before his death?"
Lu Keduo thought for a while and said: "About an hour and a half before the death of the eldest prince, a group of us went to the eldest prince's room and communicated with him some things about the next meeting with the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then we Went to eat."
Lin Feng said: "Did you all go together?"
Lu Keduo nodded: "The people in this room will go together."
Lin Feng thought for a while and asked, "Did you eat anything or drink some tea after seeing Zhang Yeluo?"
Luk Duo shook his head: "The eldest prince was a little hungover and uncomfortable at the time. After we entered, we talked to the eldest prince for less than a quarter of an hour and then left. During this period, we didn't eat anything or drink any tea."
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "What happens next? Have you ever met Zhang Juluo?"
Lu Keduo shook his head: "After I had my meal, I went back to rest, waiting for the Emperor Tang's audience. I never left the room after that, and the guards can prove it."
"So does the subordinate."
"The three of us were resting and chatting in the pavilion, and the guards can also prove it."
Several other accompanying officials also spoke one after another.
Lin Feng looked at Xishaluo again, and Xishaluo said: "I have met the eldest prince once."
"Oh?" Lin Feng asked, "When?"
Xisara said: "I don't remember the specific time. I have a habit of practicing martial arts when I get up in the morning and continue practicing after eating. So after I finished eating, I practiced martial arts in the yard. At that time The eldest prince happened to pass by the courtyard and saw me practicing martial arts there. He said he wanted to stretch his muscles with me, so we practiced a few moves."
"Then the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple came and said he wanted to see the eldest prince, and the eldest prince left... all the guards can testify to this."
Sparring...has nothing to do with eating or drinking.
Sun Fuga and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and both shook their heads. It seemed that these people had alibi.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said: "What did you do the night before the crime?"
"The night before the crime?"
Luk Duo frowned and said: "We drank a lot that night and were all drunk. After we were helped back to the room by the guards, we went to sleep. We woke up this morning."
Xishaluo also said: "You Tang people have a really good capacity for drinking. In Mengshezhao, there were only a few people who could drink me to death. But in the Tang Dynasty, it seems that anyone can drink me to death."
This is because the generals from the Ministry of War were not involved. If they drink you until you have a stomach perforation... Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu nodded: "The inn is guarded by guards at night to protect the envoys... The guards said that it was indeed not the case. Anyone who sees any envoy leaves the room at night.”
Lin Feng gently rubbed the tips of his thumb and index finger, his eyes flashing with thought. Everyone in Meng Shezhao had alibi. They did not secretly leave to go to the kitchen the night before, which proved that this matter had nothing to do with them.
Then there are only these four suspects left!
But if they were poisoning, it would be too unskilled, and they would be suspected immediately if it was obvious. Since the poisoner can think of using tableware, it can be said that he is very smart.
How could such an astute person leave such an obvious flaw in his timing?
Moreover, Lin Feng did not find any problems in the confession.
Lin Feng frowned, his brain was working rapidly, and all the information he got tonight was constantly emerging in his mind.
He always felt that there was some information that he had overlooked.
But what will it be?
What have you overlooked?
He subconsciously looked around at everyone present, scanning them one by one, and at the same time looking at Xiao Yu and others, and finally his eyes fell on the fingertips he was accustomed to rubbing when thinking.
Looking at my fingertips, suddenly...
Lin Feng's eyes widened suddenly, and a dazzling lightning suddenly flashed in his mind!
He got it!
He knows the crux of the problem!
It turns out the flaw is there!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of a guard sounded: "Mr. Xiao, the imperial doctors have completed the examination."
Hearing the guard's words, Xiao Yu turned his head sharply and said quickly: "Let the imperial doctor come in!" Soon, an imperial doctor walked into the room.
Xiao Yu immediately asked: "Have all the tableware been inspected?"
The imperial doctor nodded: "Everything has been checked."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at him. Xishaluo couldn't wait to ask: "Which tableware is poisonous? How did the murderer poison it?"
But to everyone's surprise, the imperial doctor shook his head and said: "There is no poison on any of the tableware."
"what!?"
Xiao Yu was stunned, and everyone was also confused.
"No?" Xiao Yu said, "No bowls, chopsticks, or spoons?"
The imperial doctor said: "We have checked very clearly that none of them are poisonous."
"So, we concluded...either there was no poison on the tableware to begin with, or the poison had been completely eaten by the deceased and there was no residue on the tableware."
Xiao Yu's face changed slightly when he heard the imperial doctor's words.
Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng also frowned.
Lu Keduo and Xisara looked at each other, their expressions gloomy.
No poison was found on the tableware, which means that even if the murderer used the tableware to poison, he could not determine which tableware it was, and further could not further infer who had the opportunity to use this tableware to poison.
In other words...it has gone full circle and is back to square one!
It was the same as before Lin Feng and the others came back...the clues were broken again.
Xishaluo's temper flared up again: "Xiao Siqing, are you kidding us? You didn't even check the results clearly, and you told us that there was progress. But this is what you call progress? It makes us happy in vain. field!"
"I now have reason to suspect that after your three-day period expires, you will be like this. You have searched here and there, but in the end you have found nothing!"
"It's the murderer! I don't even know how the murderer poisoned him! Why do you want to investigate like this!?"
Lu Keduo, the prime minister of Meng Shezhao, also had a bad look on his face. He said: "Xiao Siqing, I suggest you come back to us in the future when you really have the results. Don't let us rejoice in vain like this time... We The eldest prince died tragically, and his heart was very heavy, and he did not like this empty joy."
Xiao Yu's face stiffened.
His expression was also very aggrieved. He never expected that the result would be like this. He thought he would have some clues, but who knew that no poison was found at all.
Now that he was being accused like this by Lukto and Sisaluo, he was also very depressed and ashamed.
But he couldn't refute, after all, he really gained nothing, which made his lungs almost choke.
He took a deep breath and was about to take the people away without shame... After all, if he stayed here any longer, he would only be criticized and questioned by everyone in Meng Shezhao: "Let's go -"
But before he finished speaking, suddenly, a chuckle sounded: "Who said we have made no progress? Who said we don't know how the murderer poisoned us? Who said we don't know who the murderer is?"
"what!?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly realized who said this. He immediately raised his head and looked straight at Lin Feng.
With excitement in his eyes, he said: "Zide, could it be... could it be..."
Lin Feng met Xiao Yu's excited gaze, nodded slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Xiao trusts me so much, how can I let Mr. Xiao down?"
He looked at Xiao Yu, nodded and said: "I have solved the case, I already know who the murderer is, and I also know how he poisoned him!"
Xiao Yu's beard trembled with excitement.
The others immediately fell on Lin Feng.
Wei Zheng let out a long breath after listening to Lin Feng's words. He looked at Lin Feng with relief.
Cheng Chumo opened his mouth wide: "The case has been solved. He actually solved the case. It's too fast..."
Han Keji's eyes were stiff, and he once again felt the same sense of powerlessness he had when the palace was haunted.
He originally wanted to follow Lin Feng's footsteps and find out the truth based on Lin Feng's investigation... But now his mind is a mess, but Lin Feng has already solved the case!
He was too powerless to compete with Lin Feng in solving the case, which made him feel hopeless.
But the envoys of Meng Shezhao were all indifferent.
Xisara stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes: "You... you... have you really solved the case?"
Even the scheming Lu Keduo couldn't hide his surprise at this time: "Seriously?"
Lin Feng looked at everyone's expressions of disbelief, excitement, or surprise, and said calmly: "How can I joke about this kind of thing?"
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, please call the four suspects including Mr. Dai. It's time to reveal the truth about all this."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he hesitated and ordered immediately.
Not long after, Dai Zhou's four suspects were brought up. When he saw Wei Zheng and Lin Feng here, Dai Zhou was a little confused.
He really didn't expect to see Lin Feng here at this time.
Lin Feng smiled at Dai Zhou and said, "Don't be anxious, Mr. Dai, the truth will be revealed soon."
As soon as he heard Lin Feng's words, Dai Zhou understood immediately... The case had been solved by Lin Feng!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at Lin Feng, his eyes were full of admiration. He was indeed the person he had fallen in love with, and Lin Feng did not disappoint him.
Everyone has arrived, and their eyes are all on Lin Feng. Zhao Shiwu only feels that his adoptive father is simply born to be the person who attracts the attention of the world. Every time, no matter how powerful the people around him are and how high his official position is, But the only one who really attracted attention was Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "In fact, the most critical issue in this case is to find out how the murderer poisoned the people."
"This was the way Mr. Xiao and others thought at the beginning. This is actually quite correct."
Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly, this was exactly the result that all of them had discussed.
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "It's just that Mr. Xiao and the others fell into a thinking dilemma at first. They were imprisoned by the four words "food poisoning", which caused their attention to be on the food itself, thus ignoring other poisoning. Poisonous way.”
Xiao Yu sighed: "We really got into trouble and restricted our thinking from the beginning."
Lin Feng said: "But I don't think you will still think of poisoning the tableware in the end."
Xiao Yu and others looked at him, and Lin Feng said: "Mr. Xiao, you are rich in experience and have seen too many cases, so even if you fell into a difficult thinking situation at the beginning, I believe that you will not be able to find a breakthrough from food. When possible, you will definitely think differently and consider other aspects, and it won’t be too difficult to think of tableware when the time comes.”
"After all, there are only so many things that can touch your mouth, whether it's food or the utensils used to serve food."
Xiao Yu thought for a while and then nodded: "It is true that we have actually begun to give up thinking about food, but we haven't had time to think about tableware yet... But even if we can think of it, it may be tomorrow, which will also delay time and lead to We simply don’t have time to find out the truth within three days.”
Xisara listened to the two blowing each other there and sneered: "What's the use of talking about this? In the end, it turns out that there are no traces of poison on the tableware?"
"What's the difference between thinking about tableware and not thinking about it?"
"It's not like we don't have any clues at all!"
When Lin Feng heard this, he shook his head and said: "Investigating a case is a process of constantly diverging thinking, making bold assumptions, carefully verifying evidence, and constantly looking for clues. Without these processes, how could we peel off the cocoons from countless possibilities? Find the real truth?”
Xishaluo had a bad temper. Seeing Lin Feng refute him, he crossed his arms and said, "I want to take a look, what can you find on these tableware without any clues?"
Although everyone didn't like Xisara's ridicule, they still looked at Lin Feng curiously, and they also wanted to know.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng shook his head and said: "There is no trace of poison on the tableware, how can I find any clues?"
what?
Everyone was startled.
Wei Zheng and Sun Fuga could not help but frown slightly.
Xiao Yu was also shocked.
After Xisara was stunned for a moment, he laughed directly and said: "Look! You can't find anything, so why are you bragging that you solved the case and that you know how the murderer poisoned him!? You are obviously Nonsense!”
When Lin Feng heard this, he shook his head. Even if he was squeezed by the bad-tempered Xishaluo, he was not annoyed. He just said lightly: "I just said that the tableware can't provide me with any clues, but I didn't say that I No clues were taken from elsewhere.”
"and……"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said something that once again surprised everyone: "I didn't say...except for tableware, there is no third way to poison."
Everyone was really shocked this time.
What does Lin Feng mean by this?
Got clues elsewhere?
Does he have any other clues?
And...the third way of poisoning?
This... besides food and tableware, are there other ways to poison?
Han Keji was already confused. He originally wanted to compete with Lin Feng to solve the case, but now it's better. He can't even keep up with Lin Feng's thinking.
Zhao Shiwu and Cheng Chumo looked at each other. The two warriors suddenly found their soul mates, and they were both confused.
Xiao Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, what do you mean by this? Is there a third way of poisoning?"
Xisha Luo was also stunned. Prime Minister Lu Keduo frowned, his eyes flashed with thoughts, but he got nothing.
This made him look at Lin Feng in surprise.
Lin Feng faced everyone's confused gazes and chuckled: "This poison only needs to be touched by the mouth... But everyone, in addition to the food eaten, the things that can touch the mouth are not just tableware... "
Everyone frowned and thought.
Apart from food and cutlery, what else can touch your mouth?
Lin Feng guided everyone: "You might as well think about it. You all carry something with you. The main function of this thing is to help you clean... For example, after eating, you can wipe the food residue on your hands. , you can wipe the food residue on your mouth..."
Brush it!
Upon hearing Lin Feng's reminder, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Zhao Shiwu said in surprise: "Handkerchief!"
Cheng Chumo nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Handkerchief! After eating, we all wipe our mouths with handkerchiefs! As long as Zhang Yeluo also wipes his mouth, then he will definitely use a handkerchief!"
Xiao Yu and others also opened their eyes suddenly.
"Yes, handkerchief!"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but said excitedly: "Why did I completely ignore the handkerchief? It is indeed possible to have a handkerchief!"
He quickly looked at Lin Feng: "So, you mean... the murderer did not use tableware, but poisoned with a handkerchief?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "When I was examining Zhang Yeluo's body just now, I found a handkerchief on him, which proves that he can indeed use handkerchiefs."
Xiao Yu immediately said: "Come here, get the handkerchief immediately!"
Immediately, a government official ran away quickly.
Not long after, the yamen came back with a handkerchief.
Xiao Yu looked at the imperial doctor and said, "Test the poison immediately!"
The imperial doctor did not dare to delay and quickly cooperated with Fu Zuo.
Because there was only one handkerchief, the drug test was very fast, and it didn't take long for the imperial doctor to raise his head.
Xiao Yu hurriedly asked: "How?"
Everyone also looked at the imperial doctor expectantly.
However, the imperial doctor's face was heavy. He glanced at Lin Feng, then sighed, shook his head and said, "No poison was detected."
Xiao Yu suddenly froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
"still none!?"
His face turned pale and his chubby body swayed.
Han Keji's eyes widened as well. It's not poisonous yet?Lin Feng was wrong! ?
Wei Zheng frowned, it wasn't poisonous?
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, but he was stunned for a moment because he found that Lin Feng's expression didn't change at all. It didn't look like an unexpected reaction at all.
Is it...
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.
"No poison!"
Xisara looked angry: "Lin Feng, are you really playing tricks on us?"
"Last time, you had no actual results for the tableware, so you came here to show off... I can understand that you finally found the direction!"
"But this time, after you brazenly said that you had solved the case, you still got nothing!"
He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes glared, and said, "This handkerchief is different from tableware. He shouldn't eat the poison in the handkerchief, right?"
"Since the handkerchief is not poisonous, it means that our eldest prince was not poisoned to death by the handkerchief at all!"
Lu Keduo, the Prime Minister of Meng Shezhao, also sighed and shook his head at this time, with a rather disappointed tone: "Lin Sicheng, you'd better check more and let us know when we have the results."
Lin Feng listened very patiently to the words of Meng Shezhao's envoy, and then slowly said: "Isn't it right to be non-poisonous?"
"When did I say there was poison on this handkerchief?"
"What!?" Xisara was stunned, and so was Lu Keduo.
Xiao Yu couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's train of thought: "Zide, didn't you just say that there is a third way of poisoning, which is a handkerchief?"
Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's indeed what I said, but it must be Zhang Juluo's handkerchief..."
As he said that, he looked at everyone and said with a faint smile: "If you can detect poison by taking other people's handkerchiefs, then there is something wrong with you."
Everyone's heads were buzzing when they heard it.
Xiao Yu said hurriedly: "You said...you said this is not Zhang Juluo's handkerchief?"
He looked sharply at the yamen servant who had taken the handkerchief and said, "Did you switch the bag?"
The officer's face turned pale, and he shook his head hastily: "Young man, how dare you... We went together. Everyone saw it. After I took out the handkerchief, I kept holding it in my hand. There was no way I could have dropped it."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said: "Zi De... they won't turn the tables, and after Zhang Yeluo died, the scene was immediately sealed off. Even if his body was carried to the room, there were guards guarding the door. , there’s no way anyone could have removed the bag.”
Hearing this, Xisara said directly: "It is impossible for someone to switch the bag. It is the eldest prince's handkerchief. I think you are deliberately talking nonsense there to try to disturb our thoughts!"
Lin Feng said calmly: "What did Zhang Yeluo eat this morning?"
Xishaluo was startled. Lin Feng looked at everyone and said calmly: "I just checked Zhang Yeluo's breakfast."
"There is mutton in a water basin, there is a flaming red mountain, there is biscuits, there is chaos..."
"Either these things will make your mouth full of oil, with a strong smell of mutton or pepper, or they will have bright red milk stains and colors, or your hands will be full of the dregs of Hu cakes..."
"After eating these things, wipe your hands and mouth with a handkerchief. No matter what it says on the handkerchief, there should be some oil stains, milk stains and fiery red color, right?"
"But look at this handkerchief."
Lin Feng unfolded the handkerchief so that everyone could see it clearly. He said: "During the autopsy, I once lamented... Zhang Yeluo was covered in blood, but the handkerchief that should have become dirty for its owner was extremely clean... …”
"I was really feeling emotional at the time, but later, when I thought about what Zhang Yeluo had eaten in the morning, I suddenly realized something was wrong."
Lin Feng looked at the people with shocked faces and said: "If this handkerchief really belongs to him, how could it be so clean? So, it is obvious... this handkerchief is not Zhang Yeluo's, his handkerchief has been replaced by someone else ...just after Zhang Yeluo finished his breakfast, he was changed."
Brush it!
Everyone's eyes widened.
If Lin Feng was just inferring before, now, there is full evidence that there is something wrong with the handkerchief!
After all, if there was no problem, the handkerchief should not have been replaced!
No wonder Lin Feng was so calm when he saw that the handkerchief was not poisonous... He already knew that it was not the original handkerchief!
Lin Feng looked at Xisara and said: "You said it was impossible to switch the package... That was your guess without evidence! But when I said it was switched, there is evidence! Now tell me, has it been switched?"
Xisara opened his mouth and said reluctantly: "It may be that the eldest prince himself felt that the previous handkerchief was too dirty, so he changed it to a new one."
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's impossible. I didn't find any used handkerchiefs in his room, and I didn't find any other handkerchiefs in his luggage. It's obvious that he only has that one handkerchief."
Sesarro was completely speechless.
He couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
Prime Minister Lu Keduo couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Feng, with a hint of importance in his eyes, and said: "Who replaced that handkerchief? Who could be the murderer?"
Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's very simple...the murderer changed Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief after Zhang Yuluo had eaten breakfast."
"So if he wants to secretly change Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief and hide his poisoning method, he must have contact with Zhang Yuluo after Zhang Yuluo eats and before Zhang Yuluo's death..."
"And there are only three people inside!"
Then, Lin Feng said three names: "Qin Wen, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, Dai Gong, the Minister of Punishment, and..."
He looked at the hot-tempered Xisara in front of him: "You are the general who has practiced martial arts with the prince!"
Xishaluo was furious: "How dare you doubt me!?"
Facing Xisara's anger, Lin Feng continued: "General, don't be angry, just listen to what I have to say."
"What I just said is that the poisoner must drop the handkerchief, but don't forget the most important thing... that is, the poisoner must also poison Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief in advance?"
"This requires him to get in touch with Zhang Yuluo before Zhang Yuluo eats!"
Lin Feng said lightly: "Dai Gong had never met Zhang Yeluo before that morning, so it was impossible to poison Zhang Yeluo's handkerchief in advance! After all, Zhang Yeluo only had a cup of tea with Dai Gong, I don't think he would have taken a sip. Why don’t you take out your handkerchief to wipe your mouth after tea?”
"Besides, this requires poisoning the handkerchief in advance. There is no way Dai Gong could have concealed the poison from Zhang Yeluo at the moment when Zhang Yeluo took out the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly, this was indeed impossible.
Lin Feng continued: "So, the only ones who really have the opportunity to poison the handkerchief are Qin Wen, the prime minister of Honglu Temple who entertained you last night and had the opportunity to come into contact with Zhang Yuluo, and you, the general."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "General, you seem to be more suspicious."
Xishaluo's expression changed drastically, and he said coldly: "Don't try to frame me with false accusations!"
As he said that, he looked at Qin Wen fiercely and said angrily: "It's you, the eldest prince you killed!"
When Qin Wen heard this, he quickly shook his head: "It wasn't me! I was accompanying the Prime Minister that night and never got close to the Prince! So it can't be me who poisoned him! I didn't have any chance to poison him!"
After hearing Qin Wen's words, everyone quickly looked at Lu Keduo.
Then Lu Keduo glanced at Xisara with a complicated look on his face, and sighed and nodded: "That's true."
Everyone’s perspective has completely changed!
The officials of Meng Shezhao looked at Xishaluo in disbelief: "General...how could it be, how could it be you?"
Cheng Chumo hugged his arms and sneered, "No wonder you screamed so loudly just now. You weren't grumpy for the whole day, but you were afraid that we would find clues! You were clearly in a hurry!"
Xiao Yu looked at Xishaluo, his face extremely cold. He still remembered Xishaluo's squeeze on him just now, and said coldly: "General, I think you should give us an explanation!"
Surrounded by everyone, Xisara's expression suddenly changed. He kept shaking his head and retreating. Suddenly he looked at Lin Feng, his eyes full of hatred, and said angrily: "He is deliberately framing me! All he said is His inference! He has no actual evidence to prove that it was me who administered the poison! It was me who dropped the bag! Don’t believe his lies!"
He looked at Lu Keduo again and said: "Datang clearly couldn't find the murderer. They knew that finding any murderer would not satisfy us, so they used this method to try to frame me as the murderer. In this way If the eldest prince dies, it is an internal matter within our Meng Shezhao and has nothing to do with him, the Tang Dynasty!"
"Prime Minister, don't be fooled by them!"
Lu Keduo frowned and was about to speak when Lin Feng chuckled and said, "I have no evidence?"
He looked at Xisara, whose brain was clearly much more flexible than it appeared on the outside, and said with a half-smile, "Who told you?"
There is really no way to end this chapter. Once it is interrupted, it will be a critical point and everyone will feel uncomfortable, so I have to finish the basic reasoning in one breath to make everyone feel comfortable.
A large chapter of more than 1 words is presented!Please give me a monthly ticket. I will soon exceed my goal of [-] monthly tickets. Please give me a recommendation vote!Want everything!
(End of this chapter)
With the direction in hand, the people from Dali Temple took action quickly.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Feng said: "Mr. Xiao, please give me the confessions of Dai Shangshu and the other four."
These things had been carried by Xiao Yu. As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly handed the confession to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes fell on the paper.
The content of the confession mainly focuses on what each person did during that hour.
The cook was concentrating on cooking, and the attendant was waiting aside. When the meal was ready, he immediately went to deliver it. Honglu Temple Prime Minister had not been in the post house before, so he immediately met Zhang Yuluo after arriving at the post house, and drank a cup of tea during the communication process. , Dai Zhou came shortly after leaving.
This is no different from what Xiao Yu introduced before.
And because these people have no witnesses to prove their words when they do these things, there is a possibility that they are lying.
However, because no poisonous ingredients were detected in the food and tea, the suspicion level was reduced.
But now, he brought up the possibility of tableware, and as for tableware, bowls and chopsticks, the cooks and attendants could have access to them, as could tea cup Qin Wen and Dai Zhou, and their suspicions began to increase.
However, Xiao Yu had people search the bodies of several people, as well as the rooms of the cooks and attendants, but nothing containing poison was found...
Looking at these confessions, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain was constantly screening everyone's words, using logic and many side details to judge whether their words were false.
But the result... the situation is not optimistic.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and returned the confession to Xiao Yu. He pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Xiao, take me to Zhang Yuluo's room to have a look. It seems that there are no special clues here. I'll go check it out." Look where he had breakfast.”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he naturally would not refuse.
Soon, Xiao Yu led Lin Feng and others to Zhang Yeluo's room.
Opening the door, a spacious room comes into view.
Xiao Yu said: "This is it."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, walked into the room, and looked around. The room was very spacious.
When you walk in the door, there is a table with tea sets on it and stools around it.
Not far away is a bookshelf with some books, flower pots and other decorations placed on it. This was a way to show the culture of the Tang Dynasty to foreign envoys.
The bookshelf is adjacent to several cabinets used to store the envoys' luggage.
Then there is a bed inward. The bed is large and can accommodate two people to rest without being crowded.
There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The calligraphy is the calligraphy of famous artists and the paintings are landscape paintings.
The room was cleaned very clean and the floor was spotless. It was obvious that Honglu Temple entertained the envoys with great care and seriousness.
While observing the room, he asked, "Before and after Zhang Yeluo's death, was there anything missing in his room?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, everything is there."
"He doesn't have much luggage. I've asked Meng Shezhao's guards to check it out. There's nothing missing."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he came to the cabinet. He opened a cabinet and said, "His things are all in there and no one has touched them."
Lin Feng walked over, took out the items from the cabinet, and placed them on the cabinet cover.
There are only two bags, and one bag is full of clothes. There are five clothes in total, enough for changing.
Another bundle contained several money bags containing some small jewelry and copper plates.
Lin Feng rummaged through the clothes and looked at the money bag to make sure there was nothing wrong with these things. He nodded slightly and put them back.
He stood by the cabinet, looking around the room to make sure there was no place in the room that he had overlooked, and asked: "Mr. Xiao, I wonder who the envoys sent by Meng She this time are, besides Zhang Yeluo?"
Xiao Yu didn't hide anything and said directly: "In addition to the eldest prince Zhang Yeluo, there are also Lu Keduo, the prime minister of Meng Shezhao, and the general Xisha Luo."
"Prime Minister? General?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "They are all important ministers."
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Meng Shezhao is a small country that wants to meet with me, the Tang Dynasty. Only such a formation can show their sincerity. Moreover, they come here to ask for something from me, the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, such a staffing configuration Not a surprise.”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "What is their relationship with Zhang Yeluo? What is their personality like?"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "Do you doubt them?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Not really, I just want to get to know the people around Zhang Yeluo. I'm going to meet them later, and maybe I can get some clues from them... So I have to know their situation first, so as not to make mistakes later."
Xiao Yu understood what Lin Feng meant. If poison could really be found in the tableware, he would have to find a way to determine who used the tableware to poison him.
There is still a long way to go before the poisoning case can be completely solved.
He said directly without any hesitation: "Prime Minister Lu Keduo is quite wise and has some scheming personalities. You should be more cautious when facing him."
"As a military general, Xishaluo is just like an ordinary military general. He has a straightforward temper, a bit of a bad temper, and gets angry easily... This time Zhang Yeluo died, and we sealed the post again and did not allow them to move around. Xishaluo was very He is dissatisfied. If you see him soon, be careful about his temper."
"As for their relationship with Zhang Yeluo, this official is not sure. After all, they just came to the Tang Dynasty not long ago, and even the people from Honglu Temple didn't have much contact with them... But on the surface, they have Zhang Yeluo is very respectful."
A scheming old fox, a grumpy powder keg, and a great prince who is qualified to inherit the throne... This configuration is indeed not bad. He is calm when he should be calm and impulsive when he should be. He can handle many situations.
Lin Feng nodded: "I understand."
At this time, the door was opened, and the guards successively brought over the tableware used by Zhang Yeluo and the food he had eaten.
Lin Feng asked them to put these things on the table.
Soon, the table was almost full.
Everyone stepped forward, and Lin Feng looked at Wu Zuo and the imperial doctor who were checking the tableware, and asked, "How long will it take for the results to be available?"
The imperial doctor thought for a while and said, "At least two quarters of an hour."
Lin Feng nodded: "Don't worry, you can verify it slowly."
After saying that, he looked at the food on the table and asked Xiao Yu: "Mr. Xiao, is this what Zhang Yuluo ate in the morning?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "That's it."
Lin Feng looked at the food and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The food of Prince Meng Shezhao is a bit mixed."
In the middle of the table, there was a large pot of boiled mutton, half of the mutton bones were exposed, and many peppercorns were floating on the soup. You can imagine how numb this pot of boiled mutton would be.
There are two plates of side dishes on the side. The side dishes are mainly wild vegetables.
There are also some biscuits piled high on the plate.
The bowl of Chaos was half eaten.
Finally, there was a small plate with a pool of red stuff on it. I don’t know what it was originally.
Seeing Lin Feng looking at the plate that he couldn't tell what it was, Xiao Yu introduced: "This is Sushan. It is made with 'su' as the base. It needs to be frozen in the ice cellar and the pattern is carved. The red color is made of The red petals are broken into pieces and the color is refined. It is very delicate when it is made. It is a very important dish for our Tang Dynasty to entertain foreign envoys."
Lin Feng was drooling just listening to it.
He had really heard of Sushan. It was said that Sushan was the ice cream of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called Sushan was something like butter and ghee, which was considered a kind of dairy product.
Lin Feng stretched out his fingertips and wiped it on the plate, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Not to mention, it really felt like ice cream.
Wiping the ice cream on his fingertips casually, Lin Feng looked at the food on the half table, including all kinds of staple food, main dishes and desserts. Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh... He really deserves to be a prince, he just knows how to eat.
These vegetables have been checked and are not poisonous, so Lin Feng does not waste any more time on them.
He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, where is Zhang Ye's body?"
Xiao Yu said: "It's in the next room. We can't keep throwing his body in the main hall. But the case hasn't been solved and we can't move it around... so we have to put it alone first."
Lin Feng understood very well: "Take me to see it."
Many times, the clues conveyed by the corpse will be more accurate than the confessions of others.
Naturally, Xiao Yu would not refuse and took Lin Feng and others directly to the next room.
When he opened the door, Lin Feng saw the body on the ground.
Under the firelight, it was really seeping.
Zhang Yeluo had a ferocious look on his face, his face was distorted, his orifices were bleeding, and there was an obvious pool of blood on his heart. Under the dim candlelight, he looked really scary.
Looking at the distorted face, one can imagine how painful Zhang Yeluo would be when he died.
Lin Feng walked over and checked Zhang Yeluo's condition.
He knelt down and glanced at Zhang Yeluo's body. He saw a little dust on Zhang Yeluo's clothes and a little dust on his hands and hair. He thought it was from rolling in pain on the floor in the front hall.
Lin Feng lifted Zhang Yeluo's clothes and took a look at his heart... Sure enough, as Xiao Yu said, the blood vessels burst open and dripped with blood.
"This poison is really powerful. What grudge does the poisoner have against Zhang Yeluo? He used such painful poison." Lin Feng said.
Xiao Yu and the others were naturally unable to answer this question.
At this time, Lin Feng found a handkerchief in Zhang Yeluo's sleeve.
In ancient times, both men and women would carry handkerchiefs with them to remove dust, wipe their mouths, and remove sweat, so as not to behave inappropriately in front of others.
Looking at the clean appearance of the handkerchief, he shook his head and sighed with emotion: "The master is covered in blood, but his handkerchief should have been dirty for the master, but instead it is so clean... Things in this world are always so contradictory."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Wei Zheng and others also felt a little sad.
Having seen too many cases and too many human tragedies, they felt even more deeply about Lin Feng's words.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be raised but the relatives don't wait for it, the world is always so cruel.
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yeluo's distorted expression, looked at the eyes that were still open with pain and anger, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to close Zhang Yeluo's eyes.
"okay."
Lin Feng stood up and said, "I can't tell anything about this corpse. I'd better go see the prime minister and general of Meng Shezhao. I hope they can give me some clues to help me find the real murderer, so that Zhang Yeluo can truly Close your eyes."
Time was running out, so Xiao Yu naturally would not delay. He said: "Since Zhang Yeluo's incident, everyone has been controlled. Prime Minister Meng Shezhao and the general have also been locked in the room by us, and they are not allowed to enter or exit. , Not long ago they asked us to ask us about the progress of the case, and they probably haven't rested yet."
Lin Feng nodded: "Let's go meet them."
Several people walked through the corridor, and after not walking far, they arrived in front of a room where candles were being lit.
There are Jinwu guards guarding the outside of the room.
Several figures could be seen walking back and forth in the room.
Approaching the door, you can hear a loud voice: "The Tang Dynasty is really a bully! Our prince was brutally killed by thieves, but not only did they not give us an explanation, they trapped us here and refused to let us participate. Investigate, no matter how weak I, Meng Shezhao, am, I can’t stand such bullying!”
"Prime Minister, aren't you usually the most clever and resourceful? Why haven't you said anything in the past two days and just let them bully me?"
When Lin Feng heard this, he paused slightly. He looked at Xiao Yu, who was a little embarrassed and said: "This is the hot-tempered general Xishaluo. Xishaluo is very hard on us to control their freedom and prevent them from personally participating in the investigation." I’m dissatisfied, but I can’t help it... Before the case is investigated, everyone in this post is suspected, even Dai Shangshu is locked in the room, how can we let them move freely? "
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Didn't the wise Prime Minister never speak? This shows that there are still people who understand."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Lu Keduo really didn't say anything and has been very cooperative."
At this time, everyone heard a steady voice coming from the room: "The Tang Dynasty has sent the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate in person, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only gave them three days, which shows that the Tang Dynasty also hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible. Ji, neither you nor I are good at investigating cases, so what's the use of getting involved? Why not wait patiently, if there is still no result after three days, it's not too late for us to speak again."
"At that time, Datang will surely give us a satisfactory explanation."
boom!
The sound of pounding the table sounded: "I am just dissatisfied! The death of the eldest prince in the post house is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who the murderer is, the Tang Dynasty must give us a satisfactory explanation! Our eldest prince cannot let it go in vain. Die here!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the expressions of Xiao Yu and others changed slightly.
The death of an envoy from another country in the Tang Dynasty posthouse was a blow to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who the murderer was.
The Tang Dynasty has always been called the Celestial Kingdom and was visited by foreign countries.
As a result, such a heavenly dynasty could not even protect its envoys, so they died in the posthouse of Chang'an City, and they died in such pain!
Even if the murderer is caught, it will be difficult to cover up Datang's mistakes.
If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Meng Shezhao, and even the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and other countries.
This is still a situation where the murderer can be found. If the murderer cannot be found within three days, the situation will only get worse.
This is no longer just a simple murder case.
This is a major matter concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Sun Fujia's face was solemn. As a rich scholar who had read all over history, he knew very well how troublesome this matter would be in the future.
If the forces hostile to the Tang Dynasty use this to incite, the impact will be even worse.
Wei Zheng, who had always been calm, could not help but frown at this moment.
Even Cheng Chumo lost interest in watching the excitement at this moment and felt quite heavy inside.
Lin Feng's eyes swept over everyone one by one. He could feel the heavy emotions of everyone. He thought for a while and said: "We will talk about the follow-up later. The most important thing now is to find the real culprit. If he even finds the real culprit, If not, that’s the real trouble.”
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "That's right, at least find the real murderer first."
With that said, he ordered someone to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, there was silence in the room, and Lin Feng and others walked in.
Entering the room, Lin Feng saw six people in the room.
Sitting on the main seat is a man in his fifties. He has a calm expression and a calm face. He is holding a teacup at the moment. It can be seen that he must be a steady-minded person, probably the old fox Prime Minister Lu Keduo.
Beside Lu Keduo, there were people standing and sitting. They were all wearing Meng Shezhao's clothes and should be accompanying officials.
Opposite them, sat a burly man with a beard and bright eyes like copper bells. When this man saw Lin Feng and others coming in, he immediately glared at him. His dissatisfaction could not be concealed, and his face was full of anger. And it turned red, even his fingers were red, like a crab, and his whole body turned red... It seemed that he was the powder keg general Xisara.
Seeing Lin Feng and others entering, Prime Minister Lu Keduo immediately put the tea cup on the table, then stood up and handed over his hands with a warm attitude: "Xiao Siqing, you are here late at night, but has there been any progress in the case?"
As soon as Xisara heard this, he stood up immediately: "Is there really any progress?"
Looking at the reactions of the two people, Lin Feng felt lucky that he had discovered the omissions of Xiao Yu and the others, otherwise just these two sentences would have been enough to embarrass Xiao Yu and the others.
Xiao Yu had obviously thought of this, and glanced at Lin Feng gratefully, then nodded slightly: "I do have some new conjectures."
Xisara hurriedly asked: "What new conjecture?"
Xiao Yu did not hide anything from them. After all, if no new progress was made, envoys like Meng Shezhao would really think that they were all useless.
Moreover, after the murderer is found, he still needs to deal with follow-up affairs with these envoys. It is not appropriate to offend them too deeply and make them too dissatisfied.
He said: "Our Dali Temple's best at solving cases, Lin Feng, the chief of the temple, has just returned from overseas. When he came back, he proposed a poisoning method that we had not considered."
"What method of poisoning?" Xisara asked, and Lu Keduo also looked curiously.
Facing them, Xiao Yu finally straightened up because of the progress in the case. He said: "Zide said, the reason why we couldn't find traces of poison in Zhang Yeluo's food is because the murderer did not use the poison at all. Get down into the food.”
"It's not in the food?" Xisara was stunned: "Where else could it be?"
"On the cutlery!"
Xiao Yu said directly: "Bowls, chopsticks, spoons, teacups, anything that Zhang Yeluo can touch his mouth is suspect!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xishaluo was stunned. He scratched his head and couldn't help but look at Lu Keduo.
Lu Keduo's dark eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "This is indeed something we have never thought of... tableware, yes, these things can also be poisoned!"
He immediately looked at the people beside Xiao Yu and said, "Who is Lin Si Cheng? How could he think of this so quickly?"
Lin Feng smiled softly, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "You are not talented, you are exactly what I am."
The eyes of Lu Keduo and Xisara fell on Lin Feng at the same time. Lin Feng could feel their eyes looking up and down. His expression remained unchanged and he allowed them to look at him.
Lu Keduo looked at Lin Feng's extraordinary temperament and couldn't help but nodded and said: "He is indeed the best among men."
"Mummy Mummy."
Xishaluo said: "Since you are so powerful, why not quickly find the real culprit and avenge my eldest prince!"
Lin Feng raised his eyelids, Wu Mansion was vulgar, how could an old fox speak nicely.
Xiao Yu said at this time: "Zide came to see you here just to get some information and see if he can find more clues."
Hearing this, Lu Keduo hurriedly said, "Just ask Lin Sicheng, we will definitely tell you everything we know."
Lin Feng was naturally not polite. He said directly: "May I ask the Prime Minister, when was the last time you saw Zhang Yeluo before his death?"
Lu Keduo thought for a while and said: "About an hour and a half before the death of the eldest prince, a group of us went to the eldest prince's room and communicated with him some things about the next meeting with the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then we Went to eat."
Lin Feng said: "Did you all go together?"
Lu Keduo nodded: "The people in this room will go together."
Lin Feng thought for a while and asked, "Did you eat anything or drink some tea after seeing Zhang Yeluo?"
Luk Duo shook his head: "The eldest prince was a little hungover and uncomfortable at the time. After we entered, we talked to the eldest prince for less than a quarter of an hour and then left. During this period, we didn't eat anything or drink any tea."
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "What happens next? Have you ever met Zhang Juluo?"
Lu Keduo shook his head: "After I had my meal, I went back to rest, waiting for the Emperor Tang's audience. I never left the room after that, and the guards can prove it."
"So does the subordinate."
"The three of us were resting and chatting in the pavilion, and the guards can also prove it."
Several other accompanying officials also spoke one after another.
Lin Feng looked at Xishaluo again, and Xishaluo said: "I have met the eldest prince once."
"Oh?" Lin Feng asked, "When?"
Xisara said: "I don't remember the specific time. I have a habit of practicing martial arts when I get up in the morning and continue practicing after eating. So after I finished eating, I practiced martial arts in the yard. At that time The eldest prince happened to pass by the courtyard and saw me practicing martial arts there. He said he wanted to stretch his muscles with me, so we practiced a few moves."
"Then the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple came and said he wanted to see the eldest prince, and the eldest prince left... all the guards can testify to this."
Sparring...has nothing to do with eating or drinking.
Sun Fuga and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and both shook their heads. It seemed that these people had alibi.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said: "What did you do the night before the crime?"
"The night before the crime?"
Luk Duo frowned and said: "We drank a lot that night and were all drunk. After we were helped back to the room by the guards, we went to sleep. We woke up this morning."
Xishaluo also said: "You Tang people have a really good capacity for drinking. In Mengshezhao, there were only a few people who could drink me to death. But in the Tang Dynasty, it seems that anyone can drink me to death."
This is because the generals from the Ministry of War were not involved. If they drink you until you have a stomach perforation... Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu nodded: "The inn is guarded by guards at night to protect the envoys... The guards said that it was indeed not the case. Anyone who sees any envoy leaves the room at night.”
Lin Feng gently rubbed the tips of his thumb and index finger, his eyes flashing with thought. Everyone in Meng Shezhao had alibi. They did not secretly leave to go to the kitchen the night before, which proved that this matter had nothing to do with them.
Then there are only these four suspects left!
But if they were poisoning, it would be too unskilled, and they would be suspected immediately if it was obvious. Since the poisoner can think of using tableware, it can be said that he is very smart.
How could such an astute person leave such an obvious flaw in his timing?
Moreover, Lin Feng did not find any problems in the confession.
Lin Feng frowned, his brain was working rapidly, and all the information he got tonight was constantly emerging in his mind.
He always felt that there was some information that he had overlooked.
But what will it be?
What have you overlooked?
He subconsciously looked around at everyone present, scanning them one by one, and at the same time looking at Xiao Yu and others, and finally his eyes fell on the fingertips he was accustomed to rubbing when thinking.
Looking at my fingertips, suddenly...
Lin Feng's eyes widened suddenly, and a dazzling lightning suddenly flashed in his mind!
He got it!
He knows the crux of the problem!
It turns out the flaw is there!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of a guard sounded: "Mr. Xiao, the imperial doctors have completed the examination."
Hearing the guard's words, Xiao Yu turned his head sharply and said quickly: "Let the imperial doctor come in!" Soon, an imperial doctor walked into the room.
Xiao Yu immediately asked: "Have all the tableware been inspected?"
The imperial doctor nodded: "Everything has been checked."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at him. Xishaluo couldn't wait to ask: "Which tableware is poisonous? How did the murderer poison it?"
But to everyone's surprise, the imperial doctor shook his head and said: "There is no poison on any of the tableware."
"what!?"
Xiao Yu was stunned, and everyone was also confused.
"No?" Xiao Yu said, "No bowls, chopsticks, or spoons?"
The imperial doctor said: "We have checked very clearly that none of them are poisonous."
"So, we concluded...either there was no poison on the tableware to begin with, or the poison had been completely eaten by the deceased and there was no residue on the tableware."
Xiao Yu's face changed slightly when he heard the imperial doctor's words.
Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng also frowned.
Lu Keduo and Xisara looked at each other, their expressions gloomy.
No poison was found on the tableware, which means that even if the murderer used the tableware to poison, he could not determine which tableware it was, and further could not further infer who had the opportunity to use this tableware to poison.
In other words...it has gone full circle and is back to square one!
It was the same as before Lin Feng and the others came back...the clues were broken again.
Xishaluo's temper flared up again: "Xiao Siqing, are you kidding us? You didn't even check the results clearly, and you told us that there was progress. But this is what you call progress? It makes us happy in vain. field!"
"I now have reason to suspect that after your three-day period expires, you will be like this. You have searched here and there, but in the end you have found nothing!"
"It's the murderer! I don't even know how the murderer poisoned him! Why do you want to investigate like this!?"
Lu Keduo, the prime minister of Meng Shezhao, also had a bad look on his face. He said: "Xiao Siqing, I suggest you come back to us in the future when you really have the results. Don't let us rejoice in vain like this time... We The eldest prince died tragically, and his heart was very heavy, and he did not like this empty joy."
Xiao Yu's face stiffened.
His expression was also very aggrieved. He never expected that the result would be like this. He thought he would have some clues, but who knew that no poison was found at all.
Now that he was being accused like this by Lukto and Sisaluo, he was also very depressed and ashamed.
But he couldn't refute, after all, he really gained nothing, which made his lungs almost choke.
He took a deep breath and was about to take the people away without shame... After all, if he stayed here any longer, he would only be criticized and questioned by everyone in Meng Shezhao: "Let's go -"
But before he finished speaking, suddenly, a chuckle sounded: "Who said we have made no progress? Who said we don't know how the murderer poisoned us? Who said we don't know who the murderer is?"
"what!?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly realized who said this. He immediately raised his head and looked straight at Lin Feng.
With excitement in his eyes, he said: "Zide, could it be... could it be..."
Lin Feng met Xiao Yu's excited gaze, nodded slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Xiao trusts me so much, how can I let Mr. Xiao down?"
He looked at Xiao Yu, nodded and said: "I have solved the case, I already know who the murderer is, and I also know how he poisoned him!"
Xiao Yu's beard trembled with excitement.
The others immediately fell on Lin Feng.
Wei Zheng let out a long breath after listening to Lin Feng's words. He looked at Lin Feng with relief.
Cheng Chumo opened his mouth wide: "The case has been solved. He actually solved the case. It's too fast..."
Han Keji's eyes were stiff, and he once again felt the same sense of powerlessness he had when the palace was haunted.
He originally wanted to follow Lin Feng's footsteps and find out the truth based on Lin Feng's investigation... But now his mind is a mess, but Lin Feng has already solved the case!
He was too powerless to compete with Lin Feng in solving the case, which made him feel hopeless.
But the envoys of Meng Shezhao were all indifferent.
Xisara stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes: "You... you... have you really solved the case?"
Even the scheming Lu Keduo couldn't hide his surprise at this time: "Seriously?"
Lin Feng looked at everyone's expressions of disbelief, excitement, or surprise, and said calmly: "How can I joke about this kind of thing?"
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, please call the four suspects including Mr. Dai. It's time to reveal the truth about all this."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he hesitated and ordered immediately.
Not long after, Dai Zhou's four suspects were brought up. When he saw Wei Zheng and Lin Feng here, Dai Zhou was a little confused.
He really didn't expect to see Lin Feng here at this time.
Lin Feng smiled at Dai Zhou and said, "Don't be anxious, Mr. Dai, the truth will be revealed soon."
As soon as he heard Lin Feng's words, Dai Zhou understood immediately... The case had been solved by Lin Feng!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at Lin Feng, his eyes were full of admiration. He was indeed the person he had fallen in love with, and Lin Feng did not disappoint him.
Everyone has arrived, and their eyes are all on Lin Feng. Zhao Shiwu only feels that his adoptive father is simply born to be the person who attracts the attention of the world. Every time, no matter how powerful the people around him are and how high his official position is, But the only one who really attracted attention was Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "In fact, the most critical issue in this case is to find out how the murderer poisoned the people."
"This was the way Mr. Xiao and others thought at the beginning. This is actually quite correct."
Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly, this was exactly the result that all of them had discussed.
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "It's just that Mr. Xiao and the others fell into a thinking dilemma at first. They were imprisoned by the four words "food poisoning", which caused their attention to be on the food itself, thus ignoring other poisoning. Poisonous way.”
Xiao Yu sighed: "We really got into trouble and restricted our thinking from the beginning."
Lin Feng said: "But I don't think you will still think of poisoning the tableware in the end."
Xiao Yu and others looked at him, and Lin Feng said: "Mr. Xiao, you are rich in experience and have seen too many cases, so even if you fell into a difficult thinking situation at the beginning, I believe that you will not be able to find a breakthrough from food. When possible, you will definitely think differently and consider other aspects, and it won’t be too difficult to think of tableware when the time comes.”
"After all, there are only so many things that can touch your mouth, whether it's food or the utensils used to serve food."
Xiao Yu thought for a while and then nodded: "It is true that we have actually begun to give up thinking about food, but we haven't had time to think about tableware yet... But even if we can think of it, it may be tomorrow, which will also delay time and lead to We simply don’t have time to find out the truth within three days.”
Xisara listened to the two blowing each other there and sneered: "What's the use of talking about this? In the end, it turns out that there are no traces of poison on the tableware?"
"What's the difference between thinking about tableware and not thinking about it?"
"It's not like we don't have any clues at all!"
When Lin Feng heard this, he shook his head and said: "Investigating a case is a process of constantly diverging thinking, making bold assumptions, carefully verifying evidence, and constantly looking for clues. Without these processes, how could we peel off the cocoons from countless possibilities? Find the real truth?”
Xishaluo had a bad temper. Seeing Lin Feng refute him, he crossed his arms and said, "I want to take a look, what can you find on these tableware without any clues?"
Although everyone didn't like Xisara's ridicule, they still looked at Lin Feng curiously, and they also wanted to know.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng shook his head and said: "There is no trace of poison on the tableware, how can I find any clues?"
what?
Everyone was startled.
Wei Zheng and Sun Fuga could not help but frown slightly.
Xiao Yu was also shocked.
After Xisara was stunned for a moment, he laughed directly and said: "Look! You can't find anything, so why are you bragging that you solved the case and that you know how the murderer poisoned him!? You are obviously Nonsense!”
When Lin Feng heard this, he shook his head. Even if he was squeezed by the bad-tempered Xishaluo, he was not annoyed. He just said lightly: "I just said that the tableware can't provide me with any clues, but I didn't say that I No clues were taken from elsewhere.”
"and……"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said something that once again surprised everyone: "I didn't say...except for tableware, there is no third way to poison."
Everyone was really shocked this time.
What does Lin Feng mean by this?
Got clues elsewhere?
Does he have any other clues?
And...the third way of poisoning?
This... besides food and tableware, are there other ways to poison?
Han Keji was already confused. He originally wanted to compete with Lin Feng to solve the case, but now it's better. He can't even keep up with Lin Feng's thinking.
Zhao Shiwu and Cheng Chumo looked at each other. The two warriors suddenly found their soul mates, and they were both confused.
Xiao Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, what do you mean by this? Is there a third way of poisoning?"
Xisha Luo was also stunned. Prime Minister Lu Keduo frowned, his eyes flashed with thoughts, but he got nothing.
This made him look at Lin Feng in surprise.
Lin Feng faced everyone's confused gazes and chuckled: "This poison only needs to be touched by the mouth... But everyone, in addition to the food eaten, the things that can touch the mouth are not just tableware... "
Everyone frowned and thought.
Apart from food and cutlery, what else can touch your mouth?
Lin Feng guided everyone: "You might as well think about it. You all carry something with you. The main function of this thing is to help you clean... For example, after eating, you can wipe the food residue on your hands. , you can wipe the food residue on your mouth..."
Brush it!
Upon hearing Lin Feng's reminder, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Zhao Shiwu said in surprise: "Handkerchief!"
Cheng Chumo nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Handkerchief! After eating, we all wipe our mouths with handkerchiefs! As long as Zhang Yeluo also wipes his mouth, then he will definitely use a handkerchief!"
Xiao Yu and others also opened their eyes suddenly.
"Yes, handkerchief!"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but said excitedly: "Why did I completely ignore the handkerchief? It is indeed possible to have a handkerchief!"
He quickly looked at Lin Feng: "So, you mean... the murderer did not use tableware, but poisoned with a handkerchief?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "When I was examining Zhang Yeluo's body just now, I found a handkerchief on him, which proves that he can indeed use handkerchiefs."
Xiao Yu immediately said: "Come here, get the handkerchief immediately!"
Immediately, a government official ran away quickly.
Not long after, the yamen came back with a handkerchief.
Xiao Yu looked at the imperial doctor and said, "Test the poison immediately!"
The imperial doctor did not dare to delay and quickly cooperated with Fu Zuo.
Because there was only one handkerchief, the drug test was very fast, and it didn't take long for the imperial doctor to raise his head.
Xiao Yu hurriedly asked: "How?"
Everyone also looked at the imperial doctor expectantly.
However, the imperial doctor's face was heavy. He glanced at Lin Feng, then sighed, shook his head and said, "No poison was detected."
Xiao Yu suddenly froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
"still none!?"
His face turned pale and his chubby body swayed.
Han Keji's eyes widened as well. It's not poisonous yet?Lin Feng was wrong! ?
Wei Zheng frowned, it wasn't poisonous?
He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, but he was stunned for a moment because he found that Lin Feng's expression didn't change at all. It didn't look like an unexpected reaction at all.
Is it...
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.
"No poison!"
Xisara looked angry: "Lin Feng, are you really playing tricks on us?"
"Last time, you had no actual results for the tableware, so you came here to show off... I can understand that you finally found the direction!"
"But this time, after you brazenly said that you had solved the case, you still got nothing!"
He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes glared, and said, "This handkerchief is different from tableware. He shouldn't eat the poison in the handkerchief, right?"
"Since the handkerchief is not poisonous, it means that our eldest prince was not poisoned to death by the handkerchief at all!"
Lu Keduo, the Prime Minister of Meng Shezhao, also sighed and shook his head at this time, with a rather disappointed tone: "Lin Sicheng, you'd better check more and let us know when we have the results."
Lin Feng listened very patiently to the words of Meng Shezhao's envoy, and then slowly said: "Isn't it right to be non-poisonous?"
"When did I say there was poison on this handkerchief?"
"What!?" Xisara was stunned, and so was Lu Keduo.
Xiao Yu couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's train of thought: "Zide, didn't you just say that there is a third way of poisoning, which is a handkerchief?"
Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's indeed what I said, but it must be Zhang Juluo's handkerchief..."
As he said that, he looked at everyone and said with a faint smile: "If you can detect poison by taking other people's handkerchiefs, then there is something wrong with you."
Everyone's heads were buzzing when they heard it.
Xiao Yu said hurriedly: "You said...you said this is not Zhang Juluo's handkerchief?"
He looked sharply at the yamen servant who had taken the handkerchief and said, "Did you switch the bag?"
The officer's face turned pale, and he shook his head hastily: "Young man, how dare you... We went together. Everyone saw it. After I took out the handkerchief, I kept holding it in my hand. There was no way I could have dropped it."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said: "Zi De... they won't turn the tables, and after Zhang Yeluo died, the scene was immediately sealed off. Even if his body was carried to the room, there were guards guarding the door. , there’s no way anyone could have removed the bag.”
Hearing this, Xisara said directly: "It is impossible for someone to switch the bag. It is the eldest prince's handkerchief. I think you are deliberately talking nonsense there to try to disturb our thoughts!"
Lin Feng said calmly: "What did Zhang Yeluo eat this morning?"
Xishaluo was startled. Lin Feng looked at everyone and said calmly: "I just checked Zhang Yeluo's breakfast."
"There is mutton in a water basin, there is a flaming red mountain, there is biscuits, there is chaos..."
"Either these things will make your mouth full of oil, with a strong smell of mutton or pepper, or they will have bright red milk stains and colors, or your hands will be full of the dregs of Hu cakes..."
"After eating these things, wipe your hands and mouth with a handkerchief. No matter what it says on the handkerchief, there should be some oil stains, milk stains and fiery red color, right?"
"But look at this handkerchief."
Lin Feng unfolded the handkerchief so that everyone could see it clearly. He said: "During the autopsy, I once lamented... Zhang Yeluo was covered in blood, but the handkerchief that should have become dirty for its owner was extremely clean... …”
"I was really feeling emotional at the time, but later, when I thought about what Zhang Yeluo had eaten in the morning, I suddenly realized something was wrong."
Lin Feng looked at the people with shocked faces and said: "If this handkerchief really belongs to him, how could it be so clean? So, it is obvious... this handkerchief is not Zhang Yeluo's, his handkerchief has been replaced by someone else ...just after Zhang Yeluo finished his breakfast, he was changed."
Brush it!
Everyone's eyes widened.
If Lin Feng was just inferring before, now, there is full evidence that there is something wrong with the handkerchief!
After all, if there was no problem, the handkerchief should not have been replaced!
No wonder Lin Feng was so calm when he saw that the handkerchief was not poisonous... He already knew that it was not the original handkerchief!
Lin Feng looked at Xisara and said: "You said it was impossible to switch the package... That was your guess without evidence! But when I said it was switched, there is evidence! Now tell me, has it been switched?"
Xisara opened his mouth and said reluctantly: "It may be that the eldest prince himself felt that the previous handkerchief was too dirty, so he changed it to a new one."
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's impossible. I didn't find any used handkerchiefs in his room, and I didn't find any other handkerchiefs in his luggage. It's obvious that he only has that one handkerchief."
Sesarro was completely speechless.
He couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
Prime Minister Lu Keduo couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Feng, with a hint of importance in his eyes, and said: "Who replaced that handkerchief? Who could be the murderer?"
Everyone hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's very simple...the murderer changed Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief after Zhang Yuluo had eaten breakfast."
"So if he wants to secretly change Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief and hide his poisoning method, he must have contact with Zhang Yuluo after Zhang Yuluo eats and before Zhang Yuluo's death..."
"And there are only three people inside!"
Then, Lin Feng said three names: "Qin Wen, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, Dai Gong, the Minister of Punishment, and..."
He looked at the hot-tempered Xisara in front of him: "You are the general who has practiced martial arts with the prince!"
Xishaluo was furious: "How dare you doubt me!?"
Facing Xisara's anger, Lin Feng continued: "General, don't be angry, just listen to what I have to say."
"What I just said is that the poisoner must drop the handkerchief, but don't forget the most important thing... that is, the poisoner must also poison Zhang Yuluo's handkerchief in advance?"
"This requires him to get in touch with Zhang Yuluo before Zhang Yuluo eats!"
Lin Feng said lightly: "Dai Gong had never met Zhang Yeluo before that morning, so it was impossible to poison Zhang Yeluo's handkerchief in advance! After all, Zhang Yeluo only had a cup of tea with Dai Gong, I don't think he would have taken a sip. Why don’t you take out your handkerchief to wipe your mouth after tea?”
"Besides, this requires poisoning the handkerchief in advance. There is no way Dai Gong could have concealed the poison from Zhang Yeluo at the moment when Zhang Yeluo took out the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly, this was indeed impossible.
Lin Feng continued: "So, the only ones who really have the opportunity to poison the handkerchief are Qin Wen, the prime minister of Honglu Temple who entertained you last night and had the opportunity to come into contact with Zhang Yuluo, and you, the general."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "General, you seem to be more suspicious."
Xishaluo's expression changed drastically, and he said coldly: "Don't try to frame me with false accusations!"
As he said that, he looked at Qin Wen fiercely and said angrily: "It's you, the eldest prince you killed!"
When Qin Wen heard this, he quickly shook his head: "It wasn't me! I was accompanying the Prime Minister that night and never got close to the Prince! So it can't be me who poisoned him! I didn't have any chance to poison him!"
After hearing Qin Wen's words, everyone quickly looked at Lu Keduo.
Then Lu Keduo glanced at Xisara with a complicated look on his face, and sighed and nodded: "That's true."
Everyone’s perspective has completely changed!
The officials of Meng Shezhao looked at Xishaluo in disbelief: "General...how could it be, how could it be you?"
Cheng Chumo hugged his arms and sneered, "No wonder you screamed so loudly just now. You weren't grumpy for the whole day, but you were afraid that we would find clues! You were clearly in a hurry!"
Xiao Yu looked at Xishaluo, his face extremely cold. He still remembered Xishaluo's squeeze on him just now, and said coldly: "General, I think you should give us an explanation!"
Surrounded by everyone, Xisara's expression suddenly changed. He kept shaking his head and retreating. Suddenly he looked at Lin Feng, his eyes full of hatred, and said angrily: "He is deliberately framing me! All he said is His inference! He has no actual evidence to prove that it was me who administered the poison! It was me who dropped the bag! Don’t believe his lies!"
He looked at Lu Keduo again and said: "Datang clearly couldn't find the murderer. They knew that finding any murderer would not satisfy us, so they used this method to try to frame me as the murderer. In this way If the eldest prince dies, it is an internal matter within our Meng Shezhao and has nothing to do with him, the Tang Dynasty!"
"Prime Minister, don't be fooled by them!"
Lu Keduo frowned and was about to speak when Lin Feng chuckled and said, "I have no evidence?"
He looked at Xisara, whose brain was clearly much more flexible than it appeared on the outside, and said with a half-smile, "Who told you?"
There is really no way to end this chapter. Once it is interrupted, it will be a critical point and everyone will feel uncomfortable, so I have to finish the basic reasoning in one breath to make everyone feel comfortable.
