On the live stream, I committed the perfect crime

Chapter 318 It’s Him

"Look at him, smiling foolishly while holding a lamp? Could it be that his family is so poor that he can't even afford a lamp, so he came to the inn to steal it?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, after hearing about this Mr. Lin Feng, the number one talent in Datong Prefecture, how could he do such a thing?"

"Why is that impossible? Look at him holding the lamp and grinning like an idiot. Doesn't he look like he's gone insane?"

"What you said is a little wrong, isn't it? How could such a talented person go crazy?"

"How can this be impossible? Such an amazing person can't even solve such a case. In the end, it may even lead to the demise of his own country. Under such tremendous pressure, how could he not go crazy? If he doesn't go crazy, it would be strange!"

……

Only when the surrounding Xixia guards began to discuss the matter did Lin Feng finally put away his smile. He looked at the Xixia general not far away with a half-smile and said, "The reason I'm here is, of course, because I've discovered who the real culprit is."

Lin Feng's words were truly shocking, and the crowd erupted in an uproar. Not only was the Xixia general stunned, but even the surrounding onlookers started pointing and commenting at him.

At the same time, another sound of footsteps was heard, and Zhang Tianshun walked in with a group of yamen runners.

After meeting Lin Feng's eyes, Zhang Tianshun's expression suddenly became complicated. He opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

This made General Xixia snort coldly: "In that case, can you explain to me what exactly are the three murderous crosses that appeared in this case?"

Lin Feng nodded and waved to a young constable: "Little brother, please lie down on the beam."

The young constable knew Lin Feng's importance. He didn't hesitate and quickly lay down on the beam.

At the same time, Lin Feng lit the lamp and placed it on the table.

The Xixia general immediately revealed an expression of impatience: "What are you doing? I asked you to explain the matter of the murderous cross, but why are you fiddling with the lamp? And you were just smirking while holding the lamp. Are you truly insane?"

Lin Feng didn't say anything, just looked at the wall on one side of the room.

Everyone followed suit and looked over. Then, many people exclaimed, "Oh my god, there really is a cross on the wall."

At this time, General Xixia also saw this scene clearly and couldn't help but be greatly surprised. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked: "What's going on?"

Despite their differing positions, Lin Feng didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and explained, "There's a caterpillar on this lampshade. As the candle burns, the caterpillar's shadow gradually grows. Over time, it intersects with the hat cord hanging from the beam, forming a cross."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the cross that Miss Guan saw outside before."

Before Lin Feng could finish his words, Guan Feihong nodded hurriedly: "That's right."

General Xixia was stunned. "So, the First and Third Princes both saw this image and left the mark of the cross?"

"That's not the case. If they really found this cross, it means they already knew there was someone on the rafters. Why didn't they immediately call for someone to come in and arrest them?"

"Then what do the crosses left by the First and Third Princes mean?"

As soon as General Xixia finished speaking, Lin Feng called down the constable from the beam. Pointing to a cross symbol on his waist, he said, "Actually, the caterpillar on the lampshade and the hat cord forming a cross is just a coincidence. After all, the eldest prince's lampshade has a caterpillar, but the third prince's lampshade doesn't necessarily have the same caterpillar. The reason they left a sign of literacy before dying was simply to tell us that it was a constable who killed them."

Before the crowd could object, they followed Lin Feng's finger and saw clearly that there was indeed a cross symbol on the waist of the constable who had just come down.

However, at this moment, the young constable was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stammered, "It wasn't me. I didn't kill anyone."

Almost instantly, the once quiet room erupted in chaos. The detectives on the scene were all in danger. Many even instinctively drew their swords, looking at the crowd with pale faces.

Lin Feng immediately laughed: "Of course I know it's not you, so everyone, don't get excited. Now I already know who the real murderer is, so I will definitely not implicate you for no reason, so please rest assured."

General Xixia immediately frowned. "That doesn't make sense. On the day the Third Prince got into trouble, as soon as he screamed, everyone rushed in. Logically speaking... the murderer wouldn't have had time to kill..."

However, before he could finish his words, Lin Feng asked with a smile, "Who told you that the scream was made by the Third Prince?"

These words were like a thunderclap, piercing General Xixia's ears. His head buzzed. His scalp suddenly went numb. "You...you mean?"

"Yes, that's right. The murderer screamed after killing the person, which attracted all of us in."

"But that doesn't make sense." General Xixia frowned and said, "The doors and windows were locked tightly on the day the Third Prince was killed. If the murderer had killed someone, there's no way he could have escaped."

Lin Feng still said calmly, "Who told you that he ran away?"

"What a joke! If he hadn't escaped, how could he not have been caught? Do you really think our Xixia guards are all vegetarians?"

"Don't forget, I've already said that the murderer is a constable. After killing someone, he doesn't need to escape. He just needs to hide quietly behind the door. After all of you come in, he will come out from behind the door. By then, everyone will be paying attention to the mangled and bloody corpses of the two princes. Who will care when a small constable shows up?"

Needless to say, Lin Feng's analysis was very well-reasoned. Even if the Xixia general had a bad impression of him, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal at this moment. With his eyes rolling, he asked curiously, "Who is the murderer?"

Only then did Lin Feng smile, slowly raised his hand and pointed towards a place not far away: "That's him."

Although Lin Feng's voice was not loud, everyone looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
