Chapter 523 You are so meticulous
"Lin Wen, are you okay?" Li Linyue's voice like jade beads came from the phone.
"No."
"Why are you so slow?"
"It's natural."
Li Linyue's voice was slightly dissatisfied, "I hope my man can be faster."
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head. He had promised the First Princess that he would go to help her after he finished the affairs in Changshan County.
Li Linyue was very efficient in helping him, and in less than half an hour she secured a two-month order of artillery shells for Changshan County.
This is a big busy time.
In return for a favor, although Lin Wen said he was ready to run away, it was not his style to be ungrateful.
"Actually, I'm already on the plane and will be here soon."
Li Linyue's anger turned into joy. "I knew you still remembered my affairs. Come directly to the Winter Palace to find me when you arrive. There are some serious problems in the Council."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wen could only put the matter of Shangxi Town aside for the time being. After all, Chen Xingtai was trustworthy.
He quickly took a car to Changshan County Airport and boarded his private plane to Shenjing.
Three hours later.
Lin Wen arrived at the Winter Palace.
This magnificent building complex once belonged to Yu Zhongxian. It was home to countless demons and monsters, and was the source of countless filth.
But now, everything has been cleaned up, and the gates that have never been opened all year round have all been opened. Countless people in royal uniforms are entering and leaving the palace that once symbolized fear. The Royal Guards are guarding every corner here, and an atmosphere completely different from the one when the Council ruled in the past has emerged.
Liu You, the old butler sent by the princess, received Lin Wen at the gate of the Winter Palace.
He bowed respectfully to Lin Wen: "Mr. Lin, you are here. Her Royal Highness the Princess is waiting for you."
Lin Wen nodded slightly and followed Liu You into the room.
The journey was smooth and everyone would bow to him when they saw him.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Good day, Master Lin."
No one called him County Chief Lin anymore, which made Lin Wen very confused.
The Winter Palace was bustling with activity. All the doors were open, and countless people were coming in and out. Various paper documents, materials, or files were piled on the floor. Countless civil servants were sorting them out and categorizing them, and there were also special personnel supervising them.
Although they were very busy, as soon as they saw Lin Wen coming, they immediately put down their work and saluted him.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin, may you live a long life."
Damn.
This curse was really unexpected.
Li Linyue works in the main hall of the Winter Palace. This dark and cold hall is now filled with files. The skylight on the ceiling has been opened directly, and the sunlight pours in unrestrainedly, making every inch of coldness disappear without a trace.
As soon as Lin Wen stepped into the door, Li Linyue raised her head. In the sunlight, her smile was as bright as a flower.
"Lin, you're here."
Lin Wen felt something was wrong, but he still replied: "Well, I'm here. Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Li Linyue's face turned serious and she gestured to Liu Youwei.
Liu You didn't make any move, and everyone in the room left, leaving only him and the maid Ling with a hostile look on her face.
Li Linyue said, "Lin, my father's reform plan has begun. The first step is to restore the rule of law in the empire, eradicate abuses, cleanse the evil, and establish a strict, fair, and courageous Supreme Council to fight all evil."
"My father has entrusted me with this important task, but there is one condition."
Li Linyue looked at him with a dim gaze. Besides admiration, there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
"It must be with your assistance."
Liu You smiled and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty hopes that you and your wife will work together, learn from each other's strengths and overcome your weaknesses, and make this matter a success."
Ling angrily said, "What husband and wife? Your Highness hasn't even married yet. Old Liu, you're overstepping your bounds!"
Liu You said coldly, "Your Highness's marriage has already been finalized. How can a servant like you interfere?"
Lin Wen didn't want to discuss this topic and immediately interrupted their argument: "I believe Your Highness is fully capable of handling the affairs of the Council of Praise independently and rebuilding a new one. I only need to come here occasionally to help Your Highness fill in any gaps."
These words made Li Linyue smile, and her voice softened. "Lin, you are still so considerate, but what father said makes sense. I have indeed encountered many difficulties in my work these days."
As long as we don't discuss marriage or husband and wife, everything is fine.
Lin Wen immediately asked, "What difficulty?"
Li Linyue said: "Although the Supreme Council is undergoing liquidation and reconstruction, some of its important functions cannot be interrupted, and the Serious Case Court is one of the key ones."
"I have taken over the Council and placed all its members under quarantine. There are many voices of opposition from the outside world. They believe my actions will inevitably lead to a serious disaster and that without those people, the order of the empire will fall into chaos."
"This is an imperial policy that attacks Father. It absolves these scum and, in turn, absolves them. Behind these people are members of the Imperial Council of Elders, and they are all our enemies."
Li Linyue's beautiful eyes looked over.
"I have to win, you understand?"
Lin Wen nodded: "Okay."
Li Linyue smiled slightly, like a thousand flowers blooming.
"Lin, you have the strongest logical thinking and sharp observation skills. It was you who dug out those termites during the battle of the Papal States that prevented our logistical support from encountering any difficulties."
"They maliciously reported many extremely difficult cases to judge. Even though their impact wasn't that significant, they were still submitted to the Serious Cases Court. This is clearly a trick. They just want to make fun of me. Lin, you can definitely defeat them, right?"
Lin Wen smiled immediately. This was exactly what he wanted.
Now the Shanyuan in Changshan County has changed to a monthly settlement. The one-month window period is very uncomfortable. Without Shanyuan, it is like losing passion.
It's a good opportunity to make some good fortune.
"Without me, the famous detective Lin Conan, Sherlock Holmes, Justice Bao, Di Renjie, and Wen cannot solve the case."
"There is only one truth."
"Leave it to me."
Li Linyue smiled and said, "Lin, you are always so energetic. I'll leave the Serious Case Court to you. Liu You, Ling, go and assist him."
Liu You said happily, "Yes, Your Highness."
Ling was unhappy, but the princess's order could not be disobeyed, so she could only answer with a straight face: "Yes - Your Highness."
Afterwards, Lin Wen, led by the two, came to the hall of the serious crime court.
The place is already full of people, all of whom are legal staff temporarily transferred from various places. The one who is currently handling the case is the blond man Philip.
His face was full of sorrow, he was grabbing his hair wildly and crying.
"Old Zhang yelled, 'Old Xu is back!' Old Wang ran out of Old Li's house and accidentally fell to his death. What does this have to do with Old He? Holy crap, what the hell is this?"
As soon as he looked up and saw Lin Wen coming, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he jumped up and grabbed his hand.
"Brother Lin, you're finally here. Come on, come on, I'll let you be the judge. I can't stand it anymore."
Crack.
He put the judge's hat on Lin Wen's head and pushed him to the main seat.
"The real boss is here. Quick, quick, bring up all the suspects in the Qiongzhou case first."
Before Lin Wen could even say a word or sit down, a large group of suspects were dragged up.
A staff member slammed a file at least as tall as a person in front of him.
Another staff member began to briefly explain the case to Lin Wen.
Simply put, this is a high-IQ murder case. The crime scene was perfectly covered up and the murderer left countless clues, but every clue ultimately led to a message mocking the inspector.
In anger, the Inspectorate arrested all possible suspects, but still had no clues. In order to avoid suspicion of random arrests, the Inspectorate transferred the case to the Council of Review.
Of course, Lin Wen didn't hear a word he said.
He asked all the suspects to come up directly, and when he turned on the [Observing Qi and People] technique, white, red and black colors appeared in full bloom.
Just being angry doesn't mean there is any problem.
However, [Observing People by Their Qi] has another function. It can see the emotional fluctuations represented by their qi. If someone is lying, the fluctuations of their qi will be very obvious. Lin Wen has used this effect to see through Qin Luoshuang's lies many times, such as "I quit", "I want to sideline you", "I really don't have a penny left".
"Everyone, line up in front of me."
Lin Wen issued his first order after taking office.
"I'm here to ask you personally."
The suspects lined up and walked in front of Lin Wen one by one.
Lin Wen: "Are you the murderer?"
Suspect: “No.”
Lin Wen: "Let him go."
The blond man, Fili, looked distorted. He hurried over and whispered in his ear, "Brother Lin, you can't mess around!"
Lin Wen replied: "This is part of the plan."
Philip suddenly came to his senses.
The inquiry continues.
A moment later.
"Are you the murderer?"
"no."
"That's him, catch him for me."
The suspect's face was broken as he shouted, "Sir, you are wrongly accusing me!"
Lin Wenli didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Drag him away and torture him severely."
An hour later.
The suspect was dragged up dying, still crying out for justice.
Lin Wen thought about it and decided that this was not a solution, so he asked [Xianrenzhilu].
How can we get him to confess?
Consumption: 8%.
Answer.
[Tell him that there is a surveillance video that he did not completely delete.]
Lin Wen said, "Brother, don't hold on any longer. There's a surveillance video you haven't deleted completely."
The suspect suddenly panicked, and the air in his head started to boil, proving that he was extremely panicked.
"You, what did you say? I don't understand."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Come on, give him another hour. Don't kill him. I want to have some fun."
The suspect's psychological defenses collapsed in an instant. The new presiding judge was inexplicably certain that he was the murderer, which had already made him nervous.
Deleting the surveillance footage was the only possible flaw he thought of. The sirens came too quickly at the time, and he did not cover it carefully in a panic.
"Wuwuwuwu, my art is ruined, wuwuwuwu, it's me, it's me, stop hitting me, it's me."
Lin Wen ordered, "Take him away and record a complete statement, clearly stating the details."
The suspect was dragged away crying.
The unsolved case was solved in just an hour.
The blond man Philip looked at Lin Wen as if he was looking at a new world.
"Brother Lin, you are so meticulous."
Ling's eyes lit up.
