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

Shen Lian. He had become the focus without anyone noticing.

Wang Chengdao narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Commander Shen, although we now know the murderer's intention and his intention to fake the scene, the scope is still not shortened much. It seems that Commander Shen's long speech just now does not seem to have much effect."

Shen Lian glanced at Wang Chengdao and sneered in his heart.

You really can't sit still anymore.

The fault-finding is so obvious that he doesn't even bother to hide it.

It seems that I have made him feel dangerous.

However...everything has fallen into his own rhythm since he started solving the case. The ending is already decided, and it is no longer something that villains like Wang Chengdao can change.

Even if he is Tianshu or Tianxuan of Beidou, it won’t work!
Shen Lian laughed and said, "Who said it has no effect?"

"What?" Wang Chengdao frowned.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Through the fake scene, we can know that the murderer's purpose is to make us form an impression - that is, the murderer is a person with great martial arts skills."

"Then why did he give us such an impression?"

Wang Chengdao said: "Isn't it to hide his identity and give us a false direction so as to escape our detection?"

Shen Lian shook his head: "From the murderer's methods and means of escape, it can be seen that the murderer is definitely a very scheming person."

"And this kind of person is usually very smart. He should know that there are more than a hundred envoys in the post station, and the guards add up to thousands. If he does nothing, everyone will be suspected."

"But if he did it, it might backfire. Just like now... I have found out through every detail that the scene was fake, so the scope he pointed to has already backfired."

"Since he was able to assassinate the Turkic prince in a heavily guarded post station without anyone noticing, do you think... he would not have thought about the consequences of his arrangements once they were discovered? Or do you think such a person would be so naive as to think that he would never be discovered if he didn't make any arrangements?"

Wang Chengdao frowned.

Anthony wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when he thought about the fact that he had not discovered anything and had completely fallen into the murderer's trap, like a fool, he could no longer speak.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he still has to save his dignity.

The others were also lost in thought.

"Then tell me, what is the murderer's purpose?"

Wang Chengdao suddenly asked.

He did not refute directly, but asked this question, which meant that he was persuaded by Shen Lian.

He knew that he was thinking too shallowly.

But Shen Lian has already seen the inside
If I refute it at this time, I would really be a funny clown.

Shen Lian glanced at Wang Chengdao, pointed at his head, and said calmly: "Use your brain!"

Wang Chengdao: “….…”

Shen Lian said, "Think about it carefully. The murderer went to such great lengths to arrange all this. There are only a few possible purposes."

"First, to divert our attention and shift our suspicion away from him. I have just said this. There is some possibility, but it is not the main purpose of the murderer because it is easy to overturn."

"Second, it attracts our attention. As soon as we push open the door, we will be attracted by the chaotic scene in front of us, so that we can quickly determine that an accident has occurred and immediately go to check the condition of the deceased!"

When Wang Chengdao heard Shen Lian's words, something suddenly occurred to him. He widened his eyes and said, "What do you mean?!"

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Have you thought of it?"

Wang Chengdao's expression suddenly changed.

The other envoys, on the other hand, simply could not understand the conversation between Shen Lian and Wang Chengdao.

Ah Bao couldn't help but said, "Sir, you...what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Others also looked at Shen Lian curiously.

Shen Lian sighed and said, "Don't you understand yet?"

"Think about it. When you push open a door, will the scene in the room that looks normal attract all your attention? Or will the room be a mess, or even blood on the floor, which looks shocking and attracts your attention?"

"Of course the room is a mess. That's obviously an accident."

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's it!"

"After the Tibetan guards broke open the door, they found tables and chairs lying on the ground, and there was blood on the ground. Do you think...after seeing this scene, did they still have the mind to look elsewhere? They must have been worried about the safety of the Tibetan prince, so they all rushed in."

"And at this time... they gave the murderer an opportunity."

"Opportunity? What opportunity!?" Everyone was stunned.

Some people seemed to understand something. They were shocked and asked, "Could it be... Could it be that the murderer was still in the room at that time? Didn't he leave?"

"What!?"

"Haven't left yet?"

"this….…"

These envoys were all shocked and quickly looked at Shen Lian.

The Tibetan guards stared at Shen Lian with their eyes wide open.

Being stared at by these people, Shen Lian still looked calm.

He met the nervous gazes of these people and nodded slightly: "Yes, the murderer was still hiding in this room at the time. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be hiding behind the door or in some other hidden place near the door."

"He faked this scene because, firstly, he wanted to make us suspect those with great Kung Fu skills, and secondly, he wanted to draw the attention of the Tibetan guards so that they would not have time to look elsewhere, and then he could take advantage of this opportunity to slip away."

"This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. I have to say it's really brilliant."

Everyone heard Shen Lian’s words.

They all stared at Shen Lian in a daze.

Originally they thought they already knew the intricacies of this fake scene.

But now they know.

I am still too naive.

It turns out that what I know is just what I think is right.

It turns out that the real truth is this!

Fortunately, the murderer's target was not them, otherwise they felt that they would definitely die.

This made them extremely grateful.

Even Wang Chengdao looked shocked.

But how would they know?

They thought they were standing on the third floor.

But in fact, they were just standing on the first floor.

They thought they knew the whole truth, but that was just the truth that Shen Lian let them know.

The truth of this world is often only in the hands of a few people.

Many people think they have seen the truth, but these truths are just the truths that a few people let them see.

Public opinion, speech, communication…….
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger.

If a so-called truth is passed on to three people, people will believe it, not to mention that... if everyone around you says the same thing, then even if the truth is false, everyone will firmly believe in it. Shen Lian is actually using this method now.

It's just that he is more clever.

He used evidence, clues, and things in front of him to induce these people to follow his own ideas and thoughts, to think, and to ponder.

Because all the thinking is done by these people themselves.

Therefore, the results they obtained are also the ones they most agree with and are most confident in.

Human beings may not believe what anyone else says, but they will never doubt themselves.

Therefore, they will firmly believe in the conclusions they come to.

Even if some details may conflict with their conclusions, they will still firmly believe in their conclusions.

But how could they know...
The smartest man in the Chu Palace is best at controlling their hearts silently!

They think that the conclusions they came to through their own thinking are just what they think they came to through their own thinking.

But how could they have imagined that it was Shen Lian who made them believe it through hinting at one detail after another?
Therefore, they had no idea that the truth they thought was the truth that Shen Lian let them know.

The conclusions they came to after careful thinking were merely the conclusions that Shen Lian had hinted to them silently.

Every thought, every action, even every blink of their eyes...are actually under Shen Lian's control.

But they knew nothing.

Even the Nanzhao envoy, the powerful figure with the code name of Star of the Beidou Society, is the same.

And this... is the truly terrifying thing about Shen Lian!

Once upon a time, Shen Lian’s stage was so small, so he showed extraordinary abilities in criminal investigation.

But this does not mean that Shen Lian is only good at criminal investigation.

But the stage is only so big!
But this time, with all nations coming to pay tribute, Shen Lian's stage directly changed from the Tang Dynasty to the whole world!

And it was at this moment that his terror was truly revealed.

Shen Lian looked at the people who were thoughtful, and a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He said, "Actually, this is not nonsense. I found evidence."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Shen Lian.

Then Shen Lian walked to the door and closed it directly.

The door was moved closer to the inside and was revealed.

Shen Lian pointed at the door and said, "Did you see anything?"

Everyone looked at the door in confusion.

This aspect is the same as the doors of other courtyards.

Same material, same design.

No matter how they looked, they didn't find anything unusual.

"Is there something...wrong with this door?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Shen Lian said: "Didn't you notice? Look more carefully, look at the more detailed parts, don't miss any details."

Shen Lian patiently and persuadingly.

At this moment, he seemed like a teacher with a very good temper.

Abao looked at Shen Lian with some surprise. In his impression, his master would quickly produce clues and evidence to solve a case, and use the hard evidence to make the criminal speechless.

Have you ever been so patient and encouraging as you are today?
Sir, why are you so weird today?
In fact, it was not that Shen Lian was acting weird today, but that Shen Lian was deliberately guiding these envoys to think independently. What was imposed on others was far less convincing to them than what they thought out themselves.

He is now actually controlling the thoughts of these envoys subconsciously.

"Look, there's a stain there."

At this moment, an envoy suddenly spoke.

The other envoys hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, there was a dark stain above the door.

However, the stain was not big, and the door was dark red, so if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it clearly.

And it's just a stain, it's hard to attract people's attention.

If no one specifically reminds them, they will subconsciously ignore it even if they see it.

But, does this stain really have any meaning? Is it the detail that Qin Wenyuan mentioned?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Lian.

Then Shen Lian said, "Coroner, go check and see what the stain is."

The coroner ran over quickly.

After a careful inspection, he said to Shen Lian: "Commander Shen, this small stain is formed by coagulation of blood."

"what?"

"blood?"

"this….…"

Everyone was shocked. No one expected that the black-looking stain was actually a blood stain.

However, Wang Chengdao didn't know what he was thinking of at this moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Lian laughed and said, "When blood coagulates, it will gradually turn black, especially against the dark red background."

"But, have you ever thought about why there are blood stains here? You know, this is behind the door. Normally, no one would stay here. Moreover, all the courtyards of this post station have just been repaired, so there would definitely be no blood stains before you arrived."

"And this is the residence of the Tubo prince. No one has ever been here except the Turkic prince and the murderer."

"So, how do you think this blood stain was formed?"

Shen Lian has reminded them to this extent. If they still cannot think of anything based on Shen Lian’s reminder, then they would be really stupid.

How could someone who could become an envoy be a fool?

So an idea gradually took shape in their minds.

After the murderer killed Qihela, he made the scene very chaotic, intending to distract the guards. Then he hid behind the door and shouted loudly, attracting the guards' attention.

After the guards kicked open the door, they found the room in chaos. Their attention was drawn to the mess and they hurried to check on Qihela's situation.

The murderer took this opportunity and sneaked out from behind the door.

However, the murderer did not notice that when he killed Qihela, blood splashed on his body, and when he hid behind the door, the blood accidentally stained the door, leaving this mark.

Similarly, there is also a clue and evidence left behind to prove Shen Lian's reasoning.

Everything forms a perfect closed loop.

The links are closely connected and the chain of evidence is sufficient.

At this moment, everyone was very confident in their speculations.

They just felt as if they had seen the entire process of the crime.
