Yang Fan felt awe-struck in his heart, but did not panic. He remained calm and said, "Deacon Tao was joking. In front of Lord Chen and the factory supervisor, if I had not been unconscious at that time, how could I have concealed it from their eyes?"
This is true.
Tao Ying couldn't help but frown, sensing Yang Fan's difficulty.
Every sentence of the other party seems to have been carefully considered, and it is difficult for him to catch the loopholes. Even what he thought was a flaw can always be perfectly made up for by the other party's explanation. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
He couldn't help but think that there might be a fourth person at the scene mentioned by Peng An, and he was the one calling for help, and he casually asked: "Did you hear someone calling for help before you fell unconscious?"
"I called for help before I fell into coma."
"Did you call for assassins? Are you the one who called for help? Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
This answer was beyond Tao Ying's expectation and made him slightly startled.
"...I thought it was a no-brainer."
Yang Fan spread his hands.
Tao Ying was silent.
When someone calls for help, Peng An, Chen Yinglong and others will arrive. As a victim, Yang Fan makes such a call for help at a critical moment, which does sound reasonable.
"Then when you called for help, was the Thirteenth Prince still conscious?"
Tao Ying frowned and looked at Yang Fan and continued to ask.
The answer to this question is important.
While asking, he stretched out his hand, and a strange creature as small as a palm appeared in his palm. It looked like a cow or a unicorn, with a single horn on its forehead.
It is a statue of Qi and Blood!
"This is a Haechi, also known as a Dharma beast among the people. It understands people's speech and human nature, and can tell right from wrong. I hope you can answer this question honestly and don't be too clever."
Tao Ying deliberately revealed her vitality and blood in an attempt to put psychological pressure on Yang Fan.
The issue of the person calling for help is also one of the important doubts in this case.
The three people at the scene were all unconscious and fell to the ground. It can be explained that Han and Yang Fan were unconscious as targets, but how did Zhu Zhaolin, the attacker, pass out?
Could it be that there was a fourth person at the scene?
This was actually Zhu Zhaolin's reason for defending his innocence. After all, he was unconscious. How could he be the attacker? Someone was definitely framing him.
In addition, based on the calculations based on the poisonous smoke residue at the scene, Zhu Zhaolin was obviously not within the range of the poisonous smoke, and it was impossible for him to be unconscious due to the poisonous smoke, but he was poisoned!
Therefore, Peng An and others concluded that there was actually a fourth person at the scene, that is, this person attacked Zhu Zhaolin at the critical moment, rescued Han, and used shouting for help to deliberately attract Peng An and others, which was revealed in one fell swoop.
This matter was almost exposed to the light of day!
If this matter is really exposed, it will almost cause huge waves.
The dignified prince plotted against the head wife of the prince of Zhenzhen. This was simply tearing off the face of the royal family!
But now Yang Fan said that he was the one calling for help, which was obviously a slight deviation in time.
Because if it is inferred based on this time, Zhu Zhaolin used poisonous smoke to stun Han. Yang Fan pounced on Zhu Zhaolin immediately. Before he fell unconscious, he called for help. His call for help attracted Peng An, Chen Yinglong and others.
In such a short period of time, it was impossible for someone to stun Zhu Zhaolin first and then disappear quickly without being noticed by two Tianguan-level masters like Peng An and Chen Yinglong.
That's why Tao Ying came up with this question.
"The Thirteenth Prince was still conscious when I started calling for help."
Yang Fan glanced at Haezhi and said without changing his expression.
"You actually told the truth..."
Tao Ying couldn't help but fell silent, which meant that there was no fourth person!
Therefore, there was another reason for Zhu Zhaolin's coma. It was probably because he saw Yang Fan calling for help and was worried about attracting others and exposing the matter, so he deliberately fainted himself to act.
In fact, this is not impossible.
If it weren't for the obvious climbing footprints left on the rockery and the conclusive marks on the concealed weapon box, which proved that Zhu Zhaolin was the attacker, Zhu Zhaolin, who was unconscious at the scene at the time, might have been able to get away with it!
"Are we really overthinking this?"
Tao Ying couldn't help but doubt their previous inferences. Someone deliberately used this incident as a trigger and had other plans. Not only could they deal with Zhu Zhaolin, but they would also endanger the prestige of the royal family, and even the Queen and the Crown Prince might be affected!
In fact, even the Han family may be the bait, a prop specially used to lure Zhu Zhaolin!
And they suspected that the mastermind behind this was probably Concubine Chen!
After all, the Thirteenth Prince's shameless behavior and frivolous behavior have long been notorious in the palace, and even Dongchang has accumulated a pile of cases about him and has been shelving them.
After he had just entangled Concubine Chen, something like this happened. They couldn't help but suspect that Concubine Chen was behind the matter, and even intended to get involved in the position of the mother of the harem!
But after what Yang Fan said, this guess was somewhat untenable.
Is it really just a simple emergency?
Tao Ying thought about Yang Fan's description again, and after finding that there were indeed no omissions, she said: "Okay, let's stop asking questions here. You can go down!"
"Thank you, Deacon Tao."
Yang Fan stood up, thanked him, and turned around to go out.
Tao Ying watched him leave expressionlessly, still sitting in his seat. After a while, one of his eunuchs came over and asked cautiously: "Deacon Tao, do you want to continue to follow up from Changqing Palace?
"
"Yang Fan can stop for the time being and continue to investigate the death of Manager Song. By the way, don't alarm Concubine Chen."
"I understand, little one."
This time the Chen family is the victim. After His Majesty's judgment, even if they continue to investigate the doubtful points in the case, they cannot act too obviously.
After all, what they wanted to investigate this time was not from the beginning whether Zhu Zhaolin was the attacker, but whether there was any hidden secret and conspiracy in this case!
This is the real mission of their East Factory!
The eunuch nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Deacon Tao, there is news from Prince Chen's Mansion that something seems to be wrong with the Thirteenth Prince's condition..."
"I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter. You can continue to investigate the affairs of the Evergreen Palace. Our family will personally pay attention to the affairs of the Thirteenth Prince."
"yes."
On the other side, Yang Fan, who was walking out of Dongchang, was also covered in cold sweat, almost soaking his robe. When the wind blew, it was almost cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Fortunately, I got through it."
Yang Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead. The reason why the last question was able to hide from Tao Ying's Xiezhi was entirely because Yang Fan called for help twice at that time. When he called for help for the first time, Zhu Zhaolin was indeed still conscious.
This is why he answered Tao Ying's words by saying, "The Thirteenth Prince was still conscious when I started calling for help."
The "beginning" he said refers to the first time he inhaled poisonous smoke under the guise of calling for help!
So logically, he didn't lie.
Since he didn't lie, it would be impossible for Tao Ying's Haechi to detect him.
"However, what I didn't expect was that the Qi and Blood phase has such abilities. I had inadvertently ignored it before."
What happened this time reminded Yang Fan that the energy and blood created are different, and the abilities may vary widely.
After all, his Kui Niu phase gave him three tyrannical secret skills, and it is entirely possible that other people's Qi and Blood phases will have various strange abilities. Even if they are not used in combat, they should not be underestimated.
Just like Tao Ying's Xiezhi, it can distinguish between true and false, and understand people's speech and human nature. This ability is particularly terrifying when used in such investigation and torture.
