Chapter 324: Such a thing! You cant hide it from me!
"You have only one day to solve the case immediately, otherwise I, the Tubo cavalry, will crush your Tang Dynasty!"
Qin Ziyi was very anxious when she heard what they said.
Do you think I don't want to solve the case?
Do you think I want your Highness to die?
Oh, this is what I hope for!
But we weren’t the ones who killed him, so why are you and me yelling at each other?
He felt very aggrieved in his heart, but he still wanted to keep his smile. After all, it was the Tubo prince who died. This status was so unusual.
If it is not handled well, a war may really break out.
After all, he knew that the Tubo Khan had two sons, and this prince was the last.
The previous prince was assassinated two months ago, so this can be said to be the only one left.
Now that the last prince of Tubo has died, it is equivalent to the death of the Tubo Khan!
Damn it, if this news gets back, the Tubo Khan will go crazy!
If he didn't give a good explanation, the Tibetan Khan might really go crazy with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, even if Qin Ziyi felt aggrieved, she could only nod and bow.
"Qin Shaoqing, how is the situation?"
At this moment, Shen Lian's voice sounded behind Qin Ziyi.
When Qin Ziyi heard this familiar voice, she was moved to tears.
"Commander Shen, you are finally here."
For some reason, the moment she heard Qin Ziyi's voice, Qin Ziyi's somewhat panicked heart suddenly fell to the ground.
I suddenly felt confident...
Shen Lian came over, patted Qin Ziyi's shoulder lightly, looked back and forth at the aggressive Tubo guards, and said calmly: "If you want us to solve the case as soon as possible, find the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge your Tubo prince as soon as possible, then give I shut your mouth! Otherwise..."
Shen Lian glanced coldly at the faces of these Tibetan guards and said coldly: "I don't mind, but I will write a letter to your Tibetan Khan and tell him how your Tubo guards obstructed me from judging the case. You are like this Do you do it deliberately so that you don’t want the truth to come out... I will advise the Tubo Khan to investigate this matter."
Suddenly, as soon as Shen Lian said these words, the expressions of the Tibetan guards who had just been aggressive towards Qin Ziyi suddenly changed.
They didn't protect Qihe La well. If Shen Lian writes a letter like this again, they will definitely die!
They hurriedly said: "You..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Lian scolded: "I tell you to speak before you speak, otherwise you should just be quiet. I don't like to say the same thing a third time!"
The faces of these Tubo guards suddenly turned green and red.
They clenched their fists with both hands, but in the end they were defeated in Shen Lian's calm gaze, lowered their heads, and actually didn't say a word.
Qin Ziyi looks so happy here!
He explained it so hard that his mouth was drying up, and these people didn't even bother him.
As a result, when Commander Shen came, they withered!
However, Qin Ziyi also knew that the Chu Palace was famous and Shen Lian was also rising, so the Tibetan guards who could scold him did not dare to raise their heads.
If you do the same thing, you will probably have their swords waiting for you.
Shen Lian did not look at these Tubo guards again. He turned back and waved his hand to Qin Ziyi and said: "Qin Shaoqing, come here."
Qin Ziyi followed Shen Lian and entered Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard.
As Shen Lian walked, he asked, "Tell me about the situation you have now."
Qin Ziyi hurriedly said: "About an hour ago, the Tubo guards guarding the door suddenly heard a scream coming from the Tibetan prince's room. They were worried and hurriedly knocked on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time."
"They were worried that something might happen, so they kicked open the door. When they entered the room, they found that the Tibetan prince had been killed."
"After inspection, it was found that Qila had a fight with the murderer, and then his head was chopped off by the murderer."
"The estimated time of death is consistent with the last screams heard by the guards."
"But the strange thing is..."
Qin Ziyi looked at Shen Lian and saw that Shen Lian's expression was calm and the same as before, and continued: "The strange thing is... all the doors and windows of Qihe La's room are locked, and these guards are in front of the door. From what they heard, It only takes a dozen breaths until the sound reaches the point where the door is opened."
"But when they got to the room, there was no one there except Chihe La's body."
"so….…"
Shen Lian stepped into the room and said, "Is it a secret room murder?"
After Shen Lian entered the room, his eyes immediately scanned the entire room.
I saw that in this room, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the tables and chairs were scattered on the ground. It could be seen that a fierce battle seemed to have taken place here.
Tea cups were scattered everywhere, and tea was spilled all over the floor. At the same time, a trace of scarlet blood also caught Shen Lian's eyes.
Shen Lian continued to walk inside, and next to a chair, he saw the still-glaring head of the Tubo Prince Qihe La.
The headless corpse of Qihe La was on the couch, lying on the quilt.
The quilt was also stained red with blood, which looked shocking.
Shen Lian carefully inspected Qihe La's wound and asked, "Did you tell me what kind of weapon was used to commit the crime?"
"knife!"
Qin Ziyi replied: "Wu Zuo said it was a knife, a very thin and sharp knife."
"Is it very thin? Is it very sharp? Is it our Datang's horizontal sword?" Shen Lian asked.
Qin Ziyi lowered his voice and said: "Wu Zuo said that it is very similar to the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty, but the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty does not mean that it is the case done by the people of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Moreover, those Tubo people are originally dissatisfied with us. If they know that the weapon that killed their master is the Tang Dynasty Hengdao, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding... Therefore, I have not told them that the weapon that killed their master may be used." What is it."
Shen Lian glanced at Qin Ziyi and said calmly: "What is there to hide? When we handle the case, do we still need to hide it?"
"Originally it was nothing, just a weapon, but you deliberately concealed it like this. Once they know about it, it may actually show that we are guilty."
"So, don't hide what we have, tell them in real time, let them know that we, Datang, are standing upright!"
When Qin Ziyi heard this, she felt that Shen Lian was domineering and confident.
He nodded quickly and said: "Previously, Commander Shen didn't come over, so I didn't feel confident. Now that Commander Shen is here, I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I'll tell them now."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
Qin Ziyi left, and he walked to Qihe La's head, squatted down, and looked at the dead head on the ground with deep eyes.
"Looking at your last remaining expression of shock and disbelief, you probably didn't expect this to be the result, right?"
Shen Lian whispered calmly, went to the window to check the lock, and then carefully inspected the scene before walking out.
When we got to the courtyard, we saw that it was full of people.
Envoys from other countries were standing here, whispering.
Some of their faces looked nervous, some were worried, some were scared, some were confused, and some were very happy.
Different people, with different expressions, express the complex and different thoughts in their hearts.
When they saw Shen Lian walking out of the room, they quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Commander Shen, Commander Shen, how about Commander Shen?"
"Who is the murderer?"
"Who is so hateful? Even the Tubo prince was killed?"
"I heard that the heads were chopped off, is that true?"
These envoys kept asking questions.
They were really nervous.
First it was Bolu, then Baekje.
Now, even the Tubo prince has been killed!
This is the Tubo prince!
The Tubo prince who lives in Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard!
Among these envoys, the one with the highest status!
And it’s still within the inn!
This made envoys from other countries feel really unsure.
The previous two cases both occurred outside Chang'an City, and the victims were not envoys from great powers, so although they were concerned, they were not that worried.
But this time it's different.
This time it was inside the inn, and the person who died was the most powerful envoy of a great power. How could they still feel at ease?
Even the envoys of the Dashi Kingdom, Anthony, and the envoys of Nanzhao, etc., had much more solemn expressions.
Shen Lian's eyes swept over them one by one. His eyes were calm and his temperament was very calm. His clear eyes swept over everyone, as if giving everyone a sense of stability and calm. This made their originally nervous hearts... I felt much more relaxed now.
The discussion gradually subsided.
At this time, Shen Lian spoke and said: "I know the worries in your hearts. This time, to be honest, I am also scared and frightened!"
"At the inn, I, the Tang Dynasty, invested thousands of guards to protect everyone, but I didn't expect that the thieves would still take over!"
"I will not refuse. This is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty. It is the Tang Dynasty that failed to protect you. I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely give you an explanation!"
Shen Lian first comforted these envoys and expressed Datang's apology and sincerity.
This case,
The murder occurred in the inn. It was completely different from previous cases and had a lot to do with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Datang must show some sincerity, regardless of whether it will actually be explained later, but at least now, both parties must be able to live with each other in terms of face.
In national games, apart from interests, the most important thing is face.
And sure enough, after hearing Shen Lian's words, these envoys looked better.
Shen Lian continued: "It is not convenient for me to say too much about this case now."
"But if you know the past cases I have handled, you should know my strength, so... I can make you a promise."
Shen Lian stretched out a finger and said: "One day, it only takes one day. Before dark tomorrow, I will definitely find the real culprit and bring the real culprit to justice, so that everyone can feel at ease."
When Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao heard Shen Lian's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Commander Shen, what clues have been found?"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian chuckled: "Of course I found some clues, otherwise I would not dare to make such a promise."
"However, in order to prevent the murderer from jumping over the wall, I would like to ask you to put it aside. For some clues that can be disclosed temporarily, you can ask Jing Zhaoyin, and he will tell the truth. However, if there are deeper clues involved, I would like to ask that it be inconvenient for the time being. Say it.”
The Tubo guard frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the envoys from the small countries nodding.
"We understand!"
"That's right, Commander Shen, just feel free to investigate. We all understand that the investigation is important!"
"If you need us for anything, just tell us! In order to find the murderer, we will cooperate fully!"
"That's right. If anyone doesn't cooperate, it means he has a guilty conscience and may be the murderer!"
These envoys from small countries directly accepted Qin Wenyuan's proposal with just one word from you or him.
And he also raised others up.
If you don't cooperate with Shen Lian, you are a murderer!
As soon as these words came out, Anthony and others immediately cursed in their hearts.
They were happy to see Shen Lian unable to find the real culprit and then being hated by everyone.
This is in their interests!
But before they had a chance to say anything, the envoys from these small countries rushed to please Shen Lian and decided the matter directly.
This made them really feel aggrieved and helpless.
Before, they looked down on envoys from small countries.
But now, they have discovered that although the small countries are small, more than fifty small countries united are already a behemoth that is not weaker than them.
Even they, at this juncture, dare not object openly.
So, in desperation, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Shen Lian was really touched when he saw that these small envoys had made all the preparations for him without him having to ask.
Look, this is the harvest of giving warmth.
There were some things that he couldn't say. After all, this incident had something to do with Datang's lack of protection.
But it is reasonable for these envoys to speak.
He cupped his hands and said, "In this case, time is tight, so I won't waste any time."
"Everyone, I may ask you some questions later. Please answer them truthfully. I will also verify your answers later."
"If any of you lied..."
Shen Lian scanned the faces of Anthony, Wang Chengdao and others one by one, and said calmly: "...Then please forgive me for being rude. Anyone who panics has a guilty conscience! If you don't have a guilty conscience, how can you lie? So, everyone ......."
Shen Lian said meaningfully: "You must answer truthfully..."
"Of course, if you think you can hide it from me, you can also lie."
"It's just...can you hide it from me?"
At this time it was still pitch black.
The weather that had been gloomy for most of the night finally started to rain.
Rainfall in late autumn often means another drop in temperature.
Shen Lian found a clean and quiet room in the inn and walked directly in.
He ordered people to clean the room. Except for a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else.
Shen Lian and Qin Ziyi were sitting on the inside of the table. He asked someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study, and then put the candle on the table.
