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

"What did you say?"

Cheng Su's eyes widened with anger, and he almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Seeing that Lin Lezhi had angered Cheng Su, Hong Mingxu was immediately furious and shouted angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you block the general's decision and slander the general for letting the murderer go? Are you trying to say that the general is in collusion with the murderer!"

See this.

Lin Lezhi immediately nodded and saluted, "I have no such intention, but I am worried that the general will let the real murderer escape. Then, it will not only be the people of Huaifeng Village who will be harmed."

When talking about "really", Lin Lezhi deliberately emphasized the tone.

"you…!"

Just as Hong Mingxu was about to rebuke him, Cheng Su raised his hand to stop him. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and said, "Let him continue. I want to hear what he has to say."

Therefore, Hong Mingxu didn't say much, but the anger in his eyes seemed as if he wanted to cut Lin Lezhi into pieces.

"Thank you, General."

Lin Lezhi bowed his hands again to express his gratitude, then slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Zhifeng who was not far away and asked: "Brother Luo, do you have the suicide note from County Magistrate Chang?"

"Here I am."

As he spoke, Luo Zhifeng took out the letter left by Chang Feizhang from his arms.

at this time.

The blood stains on it have already dried.

Lin Lezhi did not open the letter, but held it in his hand, looked at everyone and said, "Do you remember that County Magistrate Chang wrote on this letter, 'All the thieves have been executed.'"

When talking about this, everyone present entered a state of recollection, with expressions as if they remembered what happened that day.

"I felt strange at the time. If all the criminals had been killed as Magistrate Chang wrote, why didn't he explain the matter of the body parts in the letter? And why did he ask General Cheng to continue to investigate the case at the end of the letter? And not long after that, another murder occurred. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Luo Zhifeng pondered for a moment, and then a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"No wonder Brother Jiang looked so strange at that time, so that's why." Luo Zhifeng's eyes darkened slightly, and he thought: "From this point of view, County Magistrate Chang did not reveal the whole truth."

"That's right. County Magistrate Chang did this to conceal the existence of a third person."

"Brother Jiang is saying that... apart from Wu Sanshan and County Magistrate Chang, there is a third person involved in this case. In order to protect the third person, he wrote in the letter that the case has been closed, in order to persuade the third person not to commit crimes again?"

"Yes and no."

"Oh?"

"Maybe County Magistrate Chang had this intention, but if he really wanted to protect the third person, he would not have entrusted General Cheng to continue investigating the case at the end of the letter."

Luo Zhifeng's eyes showed confusion and he asked, "Then who is this third person...?"

Not only Luo Zhifeng, but everyone else didn't understand who the third person Lin Lezhi was talking about was.

Hong Mingxu said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it now, don't be so hesitant!"

"Captain Hong, don't worry. To talk about this third person, we have to start with the disappearance of Huaifeng Village eleven years ago. County Magistrate Chang also mentioned this in his own handwriting."

Lin Lezhi paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Look for it, it's hidden in the earth, it's shining with golden light. This sentence was not only engraved in the tomb by County Magistrate Chang, but also on the back of the statue in the earth temple on the mountain."

When they heard that these words were also engraved on the back of the statue in the earthen temple, everyone present was surprised.

However, Cheng Su and Hong Mingxu showed different expressions. They looked at each other silently, and their eyes were obviously a little more silent.

"Eleven years ago, the group of tomb robbers must have learned this news and came to Huaifeng Village. After threatening the villagers to find out where the treasure is, they slaughtered all the people in Huaifeng Village to silence them."
