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

Nothing will go wrong in any detail.

The result is naturally the same.

It was exactly as he expected.

"This is?"

"There's a discovery!"

Just then, some exclamations suddenly came from the courtyard.

Many yamen runners were attracted by the sound.

The envoys standing at the door were also attracted by the sound.

"what happened?"

"It seems like I discovered something."

"I have discovered something. Could it be... that it is really Anthony..."

The envoys couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Anthony's eyes widened suddenly, his face changed, and he said, "Impossible, I'm not a murderer, it's impossible for me to find out anything."

As he spoke, he was about to enter the courtyard.

But at this time, Abao held a knife directly in front of Anthony, blocking Anthony's way.

He said, "Stop, my master, has he given you leave?"

Anthony's face turned pale.

But he also knew that he could not communicate at all with Abao, this stupid guy.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, Commander Shen, I want to go and see what's going on. I'm not the murderer at all."

Shen Lian looked at Anthony calmly and said, "Anthony, I don't mean to embarrass you. Ask everyone, do you want you to leave our sight now?"

Hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but look at the others.

He saw that the envoys were staring at him vigilantly, as if they were afraid that he would slip away if they were not careful.

The eyeballs were almost touching me.

Shen Lian laughed and continued, "Just stand here and wait quietly. If we find anything inside, we will send it out soon."

"When the time comes, if there really is a problem, we will give you a chance to explain, but now... you'd better not move, otherwise once you disappear from our sight, how can we be sure that you are not doing anything wrong?"

"I….…"

Anthony looked ugly.

He felt that something seemed to be wrong.

But he also knew that Shen Lian was right.

Now, he can't move at all.

Otherwise, there is no need to see what the Dali Temple discovered, he would have exposed it himself.

Therefore, he can only wait!
No matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.

Shen Lian looked at Anthony's anxious expression, calmly withdrew his gaze, and looked at the yard opposite again, as if he had no curiosity about what happened in the yard.

Wang Chengdao frowned and glanced at Anthony. Seeing Anthony's anxious look, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Could it really be Anthony? If it's him..."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "If it's him, that would be the best."

At this moment, everyone else was standing on tiptoe, looking into Courtyard No. 2.

They didn't know as much as Shen Lian, nor were they as calm as Wang Chengdao, so they were really curious at this moment.

What exactly was discovered.

Is the murderer Anthony?
At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out of the room in Yard No. 2.

The person walking in front was Qin Ziyi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Zhao Xianye was holding a tray in his hand.

There was something on the tray.

Everyone looked carefully with eyes wide open, and found out...the thing on the tray was nothing else but a knife!

And they are also familiar with this knife!
This is... the Tang Dynasty's sword!

The Tang Dynasty's sword!

One of the swords carried by the Tang Dynasty soldiers!

The two most popular weapons for killing enemies in the Tang Dynasty at present are the horizontal sword and the Mo Dao!

The Mo Dao is suitable for cavalry combat and is invincible on the battlefield.

Compared with the Mo Dao, the Heng Dao is smaller in size and more suitable for carrying.

Therefore, ordinary guards would wear a broadsword when performing their duties.

Therefore, these envoys were very familiar with the Tang Dynasty's sword.

The soldiers who protected them at the post station these days were wearing this kind of weapon.

It was for this reason that they recognized at a glance that the tray Qin Ziyi was dragging contained a broadsword.

But... where did this sword come from?
Wang Chengdao and others had doubts in their eyes.

The face of Anthony, the envoy of the Arab Empire, suddenly changed. When he saw the sword again, his expression changed completely.

Shen Lian glanced at Anthony, whose expression changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At this time, Qin Ziyi walked up to Shen Lian, nodded to him, and said, "Commander Shen, we found a secret compartment under a loose floorboard under the couch in Anthony's room in Tiangang No. 2 Courtyard, and this horizontal sword was hidden in the secret compartment."

Qin Ziyi didn't keep everyone in suspense and told them the whole story directly.

When everyone heard this, the look they showed towards Anthony also changed.

Sure enough, it was found in Anthony's room.

And it was hidden in a secret compartment under the floor.

If Anthony says that he has nothing to hide, no one will believe it.

And they suddenly remembered.

In the middle of the night, when Shen Lian came here, he asked the coroner what the murder weapon might be, and the coroner gave the answer at that time.

Moreover, Shen Lian did not ask the coroner to hide the truth and told everyone directly.

There is an 80% chance that the murder weapon is the Tang Dynasty's broadsword!

At that time, some envoys secretly blamed the Tang Dynasty, believing that it was the Tang Dynasty that was responsible.

It was just that Shen Lian was asking everyone at that time, so he didn't know.

And now, Qin Ziyi and his team actually found a secret compartment and a sword in Anthony's room.

Does this... mean anything?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Anthony.

They thought that through their clever thinking, they had found the murderer.

And Shen Lian, until now, still had the same serious and calm expression as usual.

He looked at Anthony and said calmly, "Anthony, can you explain to us why the horizontal sword of my Tang Dynasty is hidden in your room?"

"And he was hiding in the secret compartment under your couch... This house was just renovated not long ago, and I was the one who was in charge of the repairs. How could I not know that the floor under your couch was loose and there was a secret compartment inside?"

"So, can you explain it to us?"

After Shen Lian said this, the envoys became more certain of their guess.

It is obvious that the secret compartment did not exist originally.

But it appeared after Anthony moved in.

Then it is obvious who came up with it.

Anthony's face turned pale, and sweat dripped down his forehead. He said, "This... this secret compartment exists for a reason."

"This horizontal sword...I admit that I hid it."

"But I didn't kill anyone. I hid this sword just for collection."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Perhaps you don't believe me, but even though I'm just a civilian, I really like weapons, so I often collect all kinds of weapons."

"The Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword is well-known far and wide, so I hid it and planned to bring it back to the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty for collection after I return to the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty."

"I really just want to collect it. I definitely won't use it to kill anyone!" Shen Lian glanced at Anthony and said, "Collection?"

"Anthony, do you think we will be satisfied with this answer?"

The envoys all shook their heads.

Bullshit collection!
Who the hell would collect a knife for no reason?
And it's hidden so deeply.

Anyway, they don't believe it.

Anthony said quickly: "This is true. If you ask anyone in the Arab Empire, they all know my habit."

"Okay, let's not talk about whether your statement is true or false."

Shen Lian said again: "Let me ask you, has this knife of yours ever been stained with blood?"

Anthony shook his head quickly: "Of course not, I just collect it, and I have never used it to do anything bad."

"That'll be easy."

Shen Lian said: "The Tubo prince was brutally beheaded by the murderer, so the murderer's weapon must be stained with blood."

"Blood is different from other things. Once you get blood on your body, you can't wash it off with water within three days."

"so….…"

Shen Lian winked at A Bao and said, "A Bao, bring over a few more knives that have never been stained with blood."

Abao didn't understand why Shen Lian did this.

But he didn't delay and quickly found some knives.

He placed the knives on the table and said, "These were just distributed by the Ministry of Industry. They have not seen blood yet."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and then he said, "Go and ask Anthony to put the so-called collection of knives in there."

Abao quickly did as he was told.

Then, Shen Lian said calmly: "Okay, let's just wait quietly from now on."

"Wait?"

"What are you waiting for?"

The envoys were all at a loss.

They really couldn't figure out what Shen Lian was doing.

But Shen Lian has already demonstrated so many abilities to them that they are now subconsciously convinced of Shen Lian.

So when Shen Lian said to wait, no one objected.

Everyone just stared blankly at the swords.

Suddenly, some flies flew over.

The flies were swaying left and right above the knives, as if looking for something.

Then, everyone suddenly discovered that the flies had all landed on the same knife and were resting on it.

And that knife did not belong to anyone else, it was the horizontal knife that was found in Anthony's room.

Some envoys were still confused.

But Anthony, Wang Chengdao and others seemed to understand something and their faces changed.

Anthony shook his head. "Impossible! This is impossible! Why? Why is this happening?"

"what happened?"

"What is Anthony doing?"

Another envoy asked in confusion.

At this time, Shen Lian's voice sounded: "Fortunately, the flies are still active now, otherwise I really can't find a suitable solution for a while."

"But flies are different from us humans. They are more sensitive to smells. Flies like blood. The slightest smell of blood is enough to attract them."

"Even if the blood has been washed away by water, some of it will still remain, and the faint smell of blood will still emanate."

“So, here come these flies.”

"And there are so many knives here, but they didn't even look at the other knives, and only fell on Anthony's knife. What does this mean? I think everyone can understand it without my explanation, right?"

All the envoys were suddenly enlightened.

Their eyes suddenly widened and they all stared at Anthony.

"It's really you!"

"No wonder you questioned Commander Shen's inference at the beginning. It turns out that the murderer is you. You were worried that Commander Shen would find you, so you deliberately questioned Lord Qin!"

"We were almost fooled by you!"

"Fortunately, Commander Shen is very observant!"

"It was really too close! If it weren't for Commander Shen, you would have gotten away with it!"

"Commander Shen, so awesome!!!"

These envoys spoke one after another.

Anthony's face turned completely pale, and he was completely dazed.

why?
Why is this happening?

Until now, he still doesn't understand what happened.

Shen Lian just looked at Anthony calmly and asked, "You said your knife has never been stained with blood."

"But it turns out that he was stained with blood within three days!"

"Anthony, why do you lie?"

"You...what else do you have to say?"

Shen Lian's few words left Anthony speechless.

Anthony's eyes widened. Even though he was a scheming man, he was unable to react when he suddenly encountered such a thing at this moment.

He never imagined that the sword he had secretly hidden and prepared to take back to the Arab Empire for research would be stained with blood within three days.

And he really didn't know anything about this.

So, at this moment, he really had nothing to say.

He also knew that no matter what he said, these people would not believe him.

After all, I just said with such certainty that this knife had never been stained with blood.

As a result, reality slapped me hard in the face.

So... in the eyes of others, I was the one who lied first.

Then no matter what I say, if they don't trust me, there won't be any problem.

At this moment, Anton, you just feel extremely sad in your heart.

What is going on?
Anthony, the powerful prime minister of the Arab Empire, felt deeply powerless at this moment.

Don't talk about other people.

As for himself...after following Shen Lian's step-by-step deductions to find himself, he felt that he was the murderer.

After all, all the clues and evidence pointed to him with almost irrefutable proof.

Based on his experience in solving cases in the Arab Empire, if he encountered such a thing, he would definitely not hesitate at all and would close the case directly.

So, because of this, he was even more desperate.

Even more sad and angry!
He came to the Tang Dynasty, obviously coveting it and wanting to gain benefits from it, but who would have known that he would end up becoming a murderer?
What on earth is going on?
And... who killed Qiehe?

Who on earth did I take the blame for?
Anthony couldn't help but look at the crowd. Those envoys were looking at him with disgust at this moment.

When they saw me looking at them, they all responded to me viciously. Even the envoys from small countries who were usually afraid of me did the same at this moment, not hiding their disgust.

Anthony frowned.

These envoys from small countries should not be so bold as to frame me.

Who could that be?

He continued to look at the envoys from other major powers.

When he saw the eldest prince of Tiele, Aguda, Aguda looked at him with surprise, as if he was very surprised that he was the murderer.
