Chapter 923: Deliberation [I]

It's similar to what Sun Shaozong had speculated before.

Recently, Lin Qisheng has been in the court, and he has indeed made many amazing moves.

At the beginning, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate thought that Lin Zongxian was eyeing some big fish again, and they were all gearing up, waiting for the collective to 'win a first-class meritorious service'.

What Cheng wanted to wait for in the end, but it was the news of Lin Qisheng's application for Zhishi.

Although according to Zhao Rongheng, Lin Qisheng's change began half a year ago, which is not quite the same as his family's statement that it has been more than two years.

But only in this way does it prove that Lin Qisheng resigned precisely because of problems in emotional control.

Most of the time he suffered from some kind of mental illness two years ago, but this year, there are only a few simple judgments about his psychological condition or something: crazy, stupid, and normal.

Although Lin Qisheng is very out of line in behavior, he obviously does not belong to the first two situations, coupled with the fact that he is shy about illness and medical treatment, and he doesn't know how to adjust his mentality, so the symptoms gradually deepen, and finally he began to show a restless and obedient attitude in the court.

Lin Qisheng obviously also realized that if he continued like this, he was afraid that waiting for himself would be a catastrophe, so he took a decisive measure to stop losses - to return to his hometown.

With the connections and prestige he established before his resignation, when he returns to his hometown in Shanxi, he is definitely a local overlord, as long as he does not hit a strong order like Hai Rui, there is a high probability that he can go against the grain for several years.

It's just that he never expected that even if he took the initiative to resign, this catastrophe would still come as scheduled.

Since he had already understood Lin Qisheng's situation in the court, after separating from Zhao Rongheng, Sun Shaozong naturally did not go to the yamen, but rushed to the Lin mansion.

Nothing to say all the way.

After arriving at the Lin family, the first thing that was presented to him was the transcript of the confession of the people who interrogated the Lin Mansion last night, as well as two floor plans of the Lin Mansion.

One of them is very plain, with only a few symbols in the inner courtyard part; The other one is densely smeared with various marks and notes.

This was specially ordered by Huang Bin to draw this before Sun Shaozong left yesterday.

According to the confession of the government, after Lin Qisheng dismissed most of his subordinates, he became more and more maverick, and even refused the personal service of the little maids.

When he first learned this information, Sun Shaozong also deduced from this that Lin Qisheng was very likely to have been impersonated half a month ago.

But when they asked about those concubines later, three of them said that they had spent the night with Lin Qisheng successively - even if their appearance and voice could fool the past, their figure and ability in some aspects were always difficult to fake.

Therefore, the time when Lin Qisheng may be replaced has been narrowed to five days-because the night six days ago, he had only favored a certain concubine for the last time.

On the dense sketch, it is the behavior of Lin Qisheng and the others in the Lin Mansion in the past five days.

And on the pure one, it is the place and time when the two sides met.

Study, flower hall, three-door sandwich road, garden pavilion.

Sun Shaozong looked at it for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the mark of 'Three Gates'.

This was the last time Lin Qisheng appeared in front of people, and it was also the most eyewitnessed, and it was the only time he approached the passage between the front and back yards.

Obviously, the murderer did this deliberately to cover up the time of Lin Qisheng's death.

So what is his purpose?

In order to make an alibi?

ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after Sun Shaozong carefully compared, at the same time that Lin Qisheng appeared, no alibi was transcribed on the paper one by one.

Since it is to be played in two roles, it is naturally impossible for the murderer to appear in different places at the same time.

However, after writing it, Sun Shaozong's head became bigger.

Because most of the servants were dismissed, the mansion was empty, so that at least half of the people who were alone were the masters and servants.

Even with the addition of alibi, more than a third of them are included in the list.

Among them, Lin Qisheng's concubines accounted for nearly half.

It seems that it is difficult to use the elimination method to determine the real culprit until more information is discovered - of course, targeted investigations still have to be carried out continuously.

So after handing over the list to Tang Weishan for disposal, Sun Shaozong changed another piece of paper and began to list the other entry points of this case.

The first is the hiding place.

Considering the apparent condition of the corpse, as well as the degree of decomposition, the place where the corpse was hidden must have been indoors, dry, constant temperature, and full of floating dust.

Not to mention the former and the latter, the condition in the middle excludes the vast majority of empty houses.

Since mid-November, the temperature has continued to drop, and if there are no humans or other heat sources in it, the room temperature of ordinary structures will drop below zero at night.

If that were the case, the corpse would have left traces of repeated freezing and dissolving, but when I checked it yesterday, I didn't find any such signs.

This proves that the corpse should have been kept at a constant temperature above zero for a long time.

Lin Fu does not keep any livestock in captivity, and the place where the constant temperature can be maintained above zero for a long time is basically a place where people are often active.

Considering the smell of corpses, it should have been brewing for more than a day before the corpse was found, and if it was hidden in a place where people were in and out, it would definitely be detected - after all, the corpse itself showed no signs of being sealed or covered up.

Or, someone endured the smell of corpses and hid Lin Qisheng's body beside him.

But this kind of behavior, there is a great risk, especially the smell of corpses is not so easy to disperse, if someone really dares to hide the corpse around, when the whole house was searched yesterday, it should be noticed.

Either......

It is hidden in a relatively sealed and constant temperature secret room.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong first added the remark of 'secret room' after the word 'hiding place', and then after thinking about it, he added the word 'underground'.

After all, if it is just an ordinary secret room, it may not be able to maintain a constant temperature all the time.

On the other hand, if you are underground, it is easier to maintain a constant temperature above freezing.

After adding the complete note, Sun Shaozong ordered: "Chen Jingde, you go to the people of the Lin family to ask if there is any place in this mansion that may be hidden in a secret room - by the way, this mansion has been rebuilt in recent years." ”

The latter question reminded me of my own tunnel.

Wait for Chen Jingde to take the order.

Sun Shaozong added the four big words 'impostor' to the paper again.

Although because Lin Qisheng has five locks of long hair and is used to wearing a pair of thick-framed glasses, it invisibly reduces the difficulty of impersonating him.

But if you want to hide from others, the necessary makeup skills are always indispensable.

Then there is the familiarity with Lin Qisheng's daily life - even if Lin Qisheng is shallow and short-tempered, no one dares to approach, but he is not a stranger, and he can pretend casually.

The most suspicious person here is obviously the little guy who serves his daily life.

But the problem is that before the crime, most of the little guys around him were dismissed, and the rest were all driven to the front yard by him.

Saying......

Why did Lin Qisheng suddenly kick out all the little guys?

Obviously, this manic symptom has lasted for more than two years, and it is said that the little guys around him should have passed the run-in period a long time ago.

To say that he has been irritable to the point that he can't keep people around him, why didn't there be any problems when he pampered the three concubines one after another?

Could it be ......

Lin Qisheng drove away the little guy around him, in fact, to cover up some secrets?

What's the secret?

You must know that before Lin Qisheng's death, he almost blatantly slept with the wife of a housekeeper, and he didn't deliberately hide anything at all.

Could it be that this secret is much more serious to him than adultery?
