When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Written by Chang Feizhang.

Every word was heart-wrenching and every sentence was heartbreaking, moving everyone present.

Luo Zhifeng was touched by the contents of the letter, and every word he read was mixed with grief and regret.

But after hearing this letter, Lin Lezhi's brows did not relax, but tightened, and the confusion in his eyes deepened. Lin Lezhi immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to Luo Zhifeng and said: "Can you let me take a look?"

Lin Lezhi stretched out his hand to take the letter, and Luo Zhifeng handed it to Lin Lezhi. Realizing that Lin Lezhi's actions must have a purpose, Luo Zhifeng's expression also became worried.

"Is there anything wrong with this letter?"

Luo Zhifeng asked with gloomy eyes.

Lin Lezhi once again carefully scanned the contents of the letter of repentance, word by word, and then said, "At first glance, this letter of repentance does not seem to have any mistakes or omissions, but it is very contradictory."

"Where is the contradiction?"

"Chang Feizhang did admit his crime and explained why he did that, but..."

Lin Lezhi looked at the body parts that were placed on the ground and said, "He didn't explain in his confession why there was a missing limb in the bundle."

Luo Zhifeng pondered for a moment, and said with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "It is indeed a bit strange."

"Why is it weird to be missing an arm?"

Deng Yang couldn't figure out the connection between them and asked in confusion.

"If there is no need to mention it in the letter, since he has already confessed to his crimes, there are so many places in the mountains where a body can be hidden. He could just hide the body parts somewhere. Why would he travel such a long distance and take so much trouble to bring them here? Moreover, he has an injury on his foot, and it would be even more difficult for him to walk the mountain road with the body parts."

"If you want to explain the location and reason of the stump, you only need to mention it in the letter. There is no need to go to such great lengths." Lin Lezhi paused, and then continued, "He did not care about his own foot injury and crossed mountains and rivers to bring the stump here. He wanted to put it at his feet even if he died. This shows that the stump is useful to him, but he did not mention it in the letter. Isn't this a contradiction?"

After hearing Lin Lezhi's words, Luo Zhifeng pondered and said, "Brother Jiang, do you mean that there is something else going on?"

"What secret? In my opinion, he carried these limbs with him because he was afraid that his limbs would be found and his plan would fail. He would not be able to blame it on ghosts. There are so many snakes in this forest, and there are also wild beasts. The bag was tied so loosely, it is possible that it was taken away."

Hong Mingxu, who had been dissatisfied with Lin Lezhi and Luo Zhifeng since the beginning, finally seized the opportunity to continue to retort: ​​"I think it's because you have solved too many cases, your brains are weird, and you always think things are complicated."

Faced with Hong Mingxu's sarcasm, Luo Zhifeng just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Lezhi looked at the dirt on the stump, then turned to look at Chang Feizhang's hands hanging by his sides.

Just now, when Luo Zhifeng mentioned that Chang Feizhang had calluses on his hands from holding a pen, Lin Lezhi looked over and found that there was dirt embedded in the cracks of Chang Feizhang's fingernails.

After a while, Lin Lezhi let out a light breath, but his brows were still a little solemn as he said, "Maybe I really am overthinking it."

I thought Lin Lezhi would fight back or be sarcastic, but Hong Mingxu seemed to have prepared something else to say.

Unexpectedly, this time Lin Lezhi actually took a step back.

This left Hong Mingxu with nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to hold it back.

in fact.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Lezhi didn't care what Hong Mingxu said. Instead, he hoped that what Hong Mingxu said was right.

I hope I'm really overthinking it.

into the night.

The soldiers built a fire and cooked at the entrance of the earthen temple.

Outside the earthen temple, the night was heavy and the fog was getting thicker, as if the entire earthen temple was swallowed by the fog.

Although no one mentioned the case again, people were still in panic.

Lin Lezhi sat aside, pondering the entire case, his brows slightly solemn and absent-minded.

Guan Ziheng beside him suddenly stood up and brought Lin Lezhi back to reality from his trance.

Guan Ziheng mustered up the courage to move forward and whispered a few words to several soldiers beside the fire rack. Not long after, as if they had reached some agreement, he walked back to Lin Lezhi and sat down again.

Then, without any explanation, he turned around, lowered his head and began to untie his bag, opened a small opening and reached his hand into the bag.

"What did you just go for?"

The moment Lin Lezhi asked the question, Guan Ziheng took out something from his bag with ease and put it in front of Lin Lezhi, blocking his view.

Even though his vision was blocked completely, the smell of wood, grass and earth that filled his nostrils still made Lin Lezhi immediately realize what was pressing against his face.

Lin Lezhi pushed the thing away and stared at the medicine bag in front of him with a bitter look, the light in his eyes dimmed by half.

Seeing Lin Lezhi's look of despair, Guan Ziheng weighed the medicine bag in his hand a few times, with a look of joy as if his prank had succeeded.

Le Yinyin said: "Did you forget that you need to take medicine? I just borrowed a pot for you. When you are done, I will help you boil the medicine."

"I'm fine now. I don't need to take medicine anymore."

Lin Lezhi's face was full of resistance and he waved his hands quickly.

"No, I'm doing this for your own good. You must have earned so much luck in your lifetime to have a friend as considerate and caring as me."

"I'm really well now. If you don't believe me, just look at me..."

Lin Lezhi was just about to show Guan Ziheng that his shoulder was no longer seriously injured, but as soon as he raised his shoulder, he felt a tearing pain in the wound.

Lin Lezhi felt pain immediately and suddenly fell silent.

"Crack-!"

I thought I would be caught lying on the spot, but suddenly a muffled sound, coupled with the sound of liquid dripping, attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone was already feeling uneasy, and the sudden noise frightened them.

Everyone looked in search of the sound.

I saw the porridge in the helmet spilled all over the floor.

This white porridge was brought over by Meng Dafeng on behalf of He Yu. As everyone was busy distributing the rice, Meng Dafeng just told He Yu to take it and turned around to continue serving porridge to other people.

Unexpectedly, although He Yu stretched out his hand, he did not catch it firmly, and the porridge spilled all over the floor, soaking He Yu's trouser legs.

He Yu immediately knelt on the ground as if awakened from a nightmare, with a look of shock on his face. He trembled and apologized, "I didn't hold it firmly and disturbed everyone. I'm sorry, I won't make this mistake again, never again..."

After coming out of the puppet cave yesterday, Meng Dafeng noticed that He Yu was a little strange, but he didn't want He Yu to be punished, nor did he want everyone to notice that something was wrong with He Yu, so he quickly helped He Yu smooth things over and said, "The porridge was just spilled, just serve a new bowl, you are too careless."

Spilling over the porridge wasn't a big deal, but He Yu's panicked look couldn't help but make everyone feel strange.

What's more, there are not many people left now, and everyone vaguely noticed that He Yu was a little strange.

Because of this incident, the doubts in my heart were infinitely magnified.

Cheng Su could see that He Yu was trying to hide something, and his eyes were filled with anger and suspicion. He asked, "Why are you panicking?"

Cheng Su's tone seemed to be giving He Yu a final ultimatum, asking He Yu to tell the truth as soon as possible, but He Yu's body was shaking more and more violently, his head almost buried in the ground, and he hesitated for a long time without uttering a single word.

"General, He Yu was just frightened by what happened on the island these days. He didn't do it on purpose. He..."

"Has he no mouth himself?"

Cheng Su asked in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

Cheng Su's obviously unhappy voice made the atmosphere instantly solemn, and everyone was so scared that they dared not breathe.

"The general asked you, why didn't you answer?" Hong Mingxu was also very unhappy, and then his expression darkened, and he asked suspiciously: "You look so panicked and guilty, could it be that you also participated in the murder?"

"No... I didn't, General, I didn't kill anyone, I... I..."

Seeing this, Meng Dafeng immediately knelt down and spoke for He Yu, saying, "General, Captain Hong, this incident has absolutely nothing to do with He Yu. He was just too scared..."

"If he didn't do anything, why would he be so scared? You're covering up for him, so you must be feeling guilty."

"No... no... no..."

Seeing that this matter was going to implicate Meng Dafeng, He Yu's horrified face turned into a look of self-blame. He quickly shook his head and could not speak clearly.

Meng Dafeng knocked his head heavily to the ground and said, "He Yu and I have always been loyal to the general and have no second thoughts. I hope the general and Captain Hong will understand!"

After he finished speaking, the soldiers around him also knelt down.

Although they didn't say anything, their actions made their meaning clear, and they also believed that He Yu would not do such a thing.

Seeing that they were of the same mind, Hong Mingxu became even more angry and said, "I think you are so bold that you dare to disrespect the general. You..."

Hong Mingxu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"General, I think Captain Hong must be hiding something. You might as well give him some time until he has sorted out his thoughts."

Luo Zhifeng bowed towards Cheng Su and spoke in peace.

Before Cheng Su asked them to stand up, Meng Dafeng still kept his head down, and the other soldiers had no intention of getting up. However, with Luo Zhifeng's help, the solemn atmosphere eased a little.

Meng Dafeng lay still with his head on the ground, and whispered to He Yu, "Xiao Yu, if you have any unspeakable secrets, please speak up. The general will understand."

"I…"

After an obvious mental struggle, He Yu trembled as he took out an object from his armor. With his head buried in the ground, he held the object in front of him with both hands raised, stretching it to the limit of his arms.

After seeing what it was, Lin Lezhi's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hands on his sides tightened involuntarily.

The same moment.

Xiao Yihuo's eyes suddenly darkened and his expression became stern.

There is a book in He Yu's hand.

The edges of the book were wrinkled, many pages were folded, and the words inside, along with the pages, were curled up.

It was obvious that he had been grabbed countless times and ravaged until he was as hard as toilet paper.

As He Yu's hands trembled, the book also trembled.

Title of the book.

Four mysterious cases.
