Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"Why?" He frowned slightly and looked towards the dark room, his eyes deepening: "Shen Lian, what tricks are you playing?"

"It makes sense. Who killed him? Was it really Anthony?"

He looked away, his eyes deep: "It would be best if... it's him..."

…………

inside the room.

Qin Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Commander Shen, is what Anthony said true or false?"

Shen Lian didn't even raise his eyelids and asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Ziyi said: "I feel that he and Wang Chengdao give me the same feeling, and they may both be telling half the truth. No matter how we investigate, we can find out that what he said is true, but the truth is only half, and the result may be exactly the opposite."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Not bad, Qin Shaoqing, you have thought of this."

Qin Ziyi rolled his eyes. Who is Shen Lian looking down on?

But at this time, Shen Lian shook his head and said: "However, you are wrong. Not a single word of his words is true. They are all false."

"What!?"

Qin Ziyi's eyes suddenly widened.

"Why... why?"

He was puzzled and asked: "Commander Shen, how did you know that?"

Shen Lian's eyes flickered. He did not look at Qin Ziyi, but calmly looked at what Qin Ziyi had recorded. He said calmly, "After a few days, when everything is over and the truth is revealed, you will naturally understand what I mean."

"But now, don't be curious. Your opponents are all very secretive and cunning. You never know when you will be tricked. The more you know, the greater the risk of the enemy discovering our secrets."

"So, being a person who knows nothing is not a bad thing."

Qin Ziyi: "...I'm not a fool."

"Yes, you're not. I am, right?"

Qin Ziyi: “…”

"All right."

Shen Lian stretched and said lazily, "Hurry up and ask the next one. We are too slow. Go and ask your people to divide the rooms and finish the questioning as soon as possible."

Qin Ziyi said: "I am worried that they will be deceived... After all, these guys are so difficult to deal with."

"Just lie if you want."

Shen Lian didn't care: "Anyway, they weren't the murderers."

"what?"

Qin Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Commander Shen, do you know who the murderer is?"

Shen Lian's smile was hard to understand: "What do you think?"

"I knew that no case could be hidden from Commander Shen's sharp eyes."

Qin Ziyi said: "Then what else are we asking? Can we just arrest him directly?"

Shen Lian shook his head: "We still have to ask. How can we confuse them if we don't ask? How can we make them believe that the evidence and clues are all found by us with great effort?"

Qin Ziyi suddenly felt that Shen Lian's words seemed a little strange.

How did looking for evidence and clues turn into confusing other people?

This is a bit wrong, isn't it?

Shen Lian didn't give Qin Ziyi a chance to think about it. He patted his head and said, "Someone is here. Record it quickly. Don't waste time."

"Ok."

Qin Ziyi once again transformed himself into an emotionless scribe.

As for Shen Lian, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The performance just now was good, wasn’t it?

He reviewed it carefully and made sure there were no problems with the details.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Then... everything is completely prepared.

Next, it’s time for the serial crime to officially begin.

Beichen, Tianquan...

The net is spread.

Waiting for you to fall into the trap!

By the time Shen Lian and Qin Ziyi walked out of the interrogation room, it was already bright.

The sun was high in the sky and a little rainbow could be seen emerging.

After working hard for half the night, the questioning was completed in several rooms at the same time. Finally, all the envoys and some relevant personnel of the post station were questioned.

As soon as Shen Lian walked out of the room, some envoys came to greet him.

"Commander Shen, how is it?"

"In this case, I dare to ask, have you found out who the murderer is?"

The envoys asked hurriedly.

Shen Lian glanced at them.

He discovered that those who came to ask him questions were all envoys from small countries to whom he had once given warmth.

The envoys from major countries, on the other hand, were all very calm and composed.

Even though the people killed were from Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard, they remained very calm.

I don’t know whether they are burdened with being idols and don’t want to appear as anxious as the envoys from small countries, or whether they are confident in their hearts that even if there is danger, it will not be their turn.

Shen Lian withdrew his gaze and ignored the thoughts of the envoys from major countries.

Now his chess game has been completely set up. Everyone here is jumping on his chessboard. No matter what they do, they are destined to not escape from their chessboard.

Therefore, Shen Lian didn't care what they thought.

By this time, their actions were completely at their own mercy.

No matter what they think, they have to follow their own scripts, so they may not realize it now.

They have become thinking puppets.

Have your own little plans.

But unfortunately, I am at my own mercy.

He stretched slightly, feeling warm under the late autumn sun.

Shen Lian met the nervous gazes of the envoys from the small countries, smiled slightly, and said, "We may still lack some evidence to prove who the murderer is, but basically, we have determined who it is."

"real!?"

Upon hearing this, the envoys from the small countries immediately became delighted.

"The real culprit was found so quickly?"

"Really found it?"

In just half a night, Shen Lian's efficiency really surprised them.

Ah Bao handed Shen Lian a wet towel and said, "Is this considered fast?"

"You don't know how powerful our Commander Shen is. When you have nothing to do someday, you can go to a restaurant or teahouse to listen to the storyteller's story. By then, you will know that this is nothing."

"Commander Shen's ability to solve cases is the best in the world! In my opinion, it's still too late this time."

After Abao's boasting, the envoys from small countries immediately looked at Shen Lian differently.

After all, Shen Lian was from the Chu Palace in the Tang Dynasty, so naturally everyone knew him.

The Turks were destroyed by the Chu Palace, so outside the Tang Dynasty, the major countries that had close exchanges with the Tang Dynasty knew about the people in the Chu Palace, and one of them, Shen Lian, also knew about it.

However, in other small countries, Shen Lian's reputation is not as good. After all, they have little contact with the Tang Dynasty, and the news is blocked, and they have no contact with the Chu Palace, so they may have heard of the name of the Chu Palace, but they don't know how powerful the Chu Palace and the people inside are.

Therefore, what Abao said at this moment made them shocked, but also somewhat unbelieving.

They know very well how difficult it is to solve a case.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the murder case of Qi La!
Secret room!

There are no witnesses!

No physical evidence!

Even the murder weapon was not found!
It can be said that there is not a single clue and the murderer is extremely cunning!
In their opinion, this case is absolutely extremely difficult.

Not to mention half a night, even if it took ten days or half a month, they might not be able to find the real culprit.

Therefore.

Shen Lian just asked some people randomly, and then told them that he had found the murderer, which made them really unable to believe it.

Not to mention that Abao also boasted that this speed was considered slow.

At this moment, the expressions they looked at Shen Lian were extremely complicated. They said they believed it, but they were also unwilling to believe it. They also said they didn't believe it, but they also hoped that Shen Lian had really found the murderer so that they would stop being so nervous and anxious.

Shen Lian's eyes were so sharp that he could see through the envoys' thoughts at a glance.

He smiled lightly and said, "Abao, stop talking nonsense. Go and prepare. Call everyone to the room in Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard and tell them that I am going to do some reasoning."

Ah Bao said truthfully: "That is the truth, sir, I am not talking nonsense..."

However, when he saw Shen Lian glaring at him, he quickly took back his words.

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly.

He actually didn't feel anything about Abao's bragging, and he didn't care whether others believed it or not.

Shen Lian has always had a very thorough understanding of worldly affairs.

He doesn't live for anyone, so he doesn't care what others think. Whether others trust him or value him has nothing to do with him.

But he didn't want Abao to praise himself and be regarded as a flatterer by others.

He is a very protective person. Specifically, if anyone looks at his friends with disdain, he will fight with that person.

And in this kind of situation, reality will soon reveal their true abilities.

There is no need to waste saliva.

He said, "Let's go over there too. The murderer will show up soon. Just wait for a moment."

After saying that, Shen Lian turned around and entered Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard.

The others looked at each other and quickly followed in.

Soon, everyone gathered in Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard...
Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard was only a place where envoys lived, and it was different from the office hall where the previous meetings were held, so all these people were crowded in here, and it was really crowded.

The room can only hold thirty or forty people; if there are more, there won't be enough space.

Therefore, only some envoys from powerful countries were in the room, while everyone else was watching outside the door or window.

One room, one door, several windows, and the level difference is clearly visible.

"I heard that Commander Shen already knows who the murderer is. Qin Qingtian is really quick in solving cases!"

Wang Chengdao, the Nanzhao envoy, said with a smile.

Anthony, the envoy of the Arab Empire, also nodded and said, "It is indeed fast. It is much more efficient than our officials in the Arab Empire."

"And I think..."

Anthony pointedly said: "If it hadn't been deliberately misled by someone with bad intentions, it might have been faster."

Wang Chengdao frowned.

The eldest prince of Tiele, Aguda, was stunned for a moment, because he totally did not understand the sarcasm in Anthony's words.

Shen Lian clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

He said: "The envoy was killed at the post station. This matter is of great importance and is also a provocation to our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I have been investigating the case all night long."

"After a night of investigation, I finally found some clues. Next... I will reconstruct the process of the case for you. I hope you will keep quiet. If you disagree with something, please wait until I finish speaking before speaking again. Do not interrupt my reasoning."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly.

This is not a difficult request.

"Well, let's start with how the deceased was killed."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Lian.

Shen Lian said, "Everyone, the tables and chairs in the room have fallen over, there is a bloody drag mark on the ground, and there are some small bumps and wounds on the body of the deceased, so everyone thinks that this is caused by the activities of the deceased and the murderer, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Anthony said: "It's so obvious, what's there to say."

"Obvious?"

Shen Lian chuckled: "What do you mean by obvious? You didn't see the actual crime, so you say it's obvious based on these few things?"

Anthony frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Lian looked around at everyone, and finally looked deeply at Anthony, and said: "If everyone thinks this way, then you... have completely fallen into the murderer's trap."

"The murderer wants you to believe that there was a struggle before the victim died, but in fact, it was just the opposite..."

Shen Lian said in a loud voice: "The deceased did not even have the chance to struggle. Maybe he was in his sleep, or maybe he was just awakened when he was killed by the murderer..."

Shen Lian waved his hand and said, "Puff, chop off the head!"

When Shen Lian finished speaking, everyone was shocked in silence.

It was indeed the guess that Shen Lian made, which was completely opposite to what they already knew.

Anthony frowned and looked at Shen Lian, saying, "Commander Shen, don't think you can fool us just because we don't know anything."

"To be honest, I was promoted step by step from a local official in the Kingdom of Daqin, so I am also good at solving cases and the like."

"Look at the situation in front of you..."

He pointed to the overturned tables and chairs on the ground and said, "The overturned tables and chairs are obviously caused by a collision."

"And there are bruises on the body of the deceased, which proves that he had fought with someone in the room. The bruises on his body are evidence of collisions with tables and chairs!"

"Also, look at the blood on the ground."

He pointed at the bloodstains and said, "This bloodstain is obviously caused by being dragged. So no matter which point, it can prove that the deceased had experienced a fight before his death, and was in a weak position!"

When the other envoys heard Anthony's well-reasoned words, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"It seems to be true."

"It was evidently a struggle."

"Then Commander Shen, why did you say no?"

"Could it be that the rumor is wrong, and Commander Shen doesn't live up to his reputation?"

Some sounds reached the ears of Shen Lian and others.

When Abao heard such doubts about his master, his face immediately became unhappy.

They can insult themselves, but they are never allowed to doubt the abilities of adults.
