Chapter 325: A hero emerges from a young age! Take sides!
It rained continuously outside, and occasionally there was lightning and thunder.
The interior was dimly lit by the dim light of a candle, which looked a bit depressing and dull.
Qin Ziyi couldn't help but said: "Commander Shen, should we add a few more candles? The light is a bit too dark."
When Shen Lian heard this, he said calmly: "No, this is the kind of atmosphere you want. Even you feel depressed and dull, and then the people who are called over will only feel even more uncomfortable."
"So stop talking nonsense and remember... whatever I ask you later, you will remember it. Talk less and listen to me."
Shen Lian actually modeled this room on the interrogation rooms of later generations.
The light is unclear, the room is not big, facing each other...
Through various methods, we can add psychological hints to the subjects and improve the efficiency of interrogation.
Qin Ziyi didn't have those experiences, so naturally he didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from being obedient.
He had no disobedience or doubts about Shen Lian's words this time.
Hearing this, he nodded directly: "Commander Qin Chen, don't worry, I am now an emotionless recording officer."
Shen Lian smiled, glanced at the dark and dull rainy night outside the window, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. God was really helping him set off the atmosphere!
He took a deep breath and said: "Bring people in, first bring in Envoy Tiele."
Not long after, Aguda, the eldest prince of Tiele, walked into the room.
Shen Lian pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Please sit down."
Aguda sat down reluctantly. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, my time is precious. If you have anything to say, say it quickly. Don't belabor it."
When Shen Lian heard this, he was not angry.
He smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Tiele, what were you doing an hour ago, before and after the incident?"
Aguda said: "Of course it's to sleep, it's so late, why don't you sleep?"
"Can anyone prove it?"
"My king has guards guarding the door. They can prove it."
"Yeah?"
Shen Lian knocked his fingers gently on the table and said calmly: "The killer was able to disappear quietly after killing the Tubo prince without alerting anyone... That means that he must have a way to hide it from the outside world. guard."
"so……."
He chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Tiele's alibi is hard to believe."
boom!
Aguda slammed the table and said angrily, "Why, do you doubt me?"
Shen Lian said without even raising his finger or eyelids: "I heard that His Highness Aguda met Qihela alone tonight. I don't know what you said."
Aguda's eyes widened. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Are you spying on us!?"
"Surveillance is out of the question. It's just that this is the inn of Tang Dynasty, so we can see what you are doing under our noses as long as we are not blind. Therefore, His Highness Aguda, don't worry too much."
Shen Lian looked at Aguda and said, "I just want to know what you were talking about in private? After all...it has a lot to do with whether His Highness can eliminate suspicion."
Aguda frowned.
He stared at Shen Lian with his eyes, as if he wanted to see into Shen Lian's heart, but to his disappointment, Shen Lian met his gaze calmly, and he could not see anything about Shen Lian at all.
This made him feel very frustrated.
Shen Lian seemed to know him well, but he knew nothing about Shen Lian!
This realization is so uncomfortable!
"us….…"
"Your Highness!"
Before Aggu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lian. He raised his head and suddenly met Shen Lian's dark and deep eyes.
These eyes seemed to contain the stars of the universe. It made Aguma feel as if he was about to be sucked in and sink. This made his expression suddenly change.
As for Shen Lian, he continued slowly at this time: "If His Highness feels that lying can deceive me, then His Highness can tell it as much as he wants, but if he is discovered by me... then I will only tell other envoys the truth, His Highness deliberately concealed it."
"As for what other envoys think... it's none of my business."
Aguda's face turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"
Shen Lian chuckled and said, "A kind reminder."
Good intentions, sir!
You are a threat!
Aguda was really furious.
But there was nothing he could do. Shen Lian was really well-known and well-known.
And the look on Shen Lian's face just now made him feel frightened.
He thought for a while and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It was Qihela who invited me to join forces with us to deal with you, Commander Shen! He said that only by joining forces can we prevent Datang from taking advantage, otherwise... if this continues , Datang is about to become the leader of the alliance."
"That's why I met him."
Qin Ziyi suddenly stopped recording when she heard what A Guda said.
His eyes widened suddenly, almost burning.
"You are plotting against me, the Tang Dynasty!?"
Qin Ziyi almost slammed the table and got up.
As for Shen Lian's words, at this moment, his expression did not change at all, as if he had expected this.
He knocked on the table lightly and said calmly: "Continue recording."
Qin Ziyi finally suppressed the anger in her heart and continued to record.
Shen Lian looked at Aguda and asked, "Do you agree?"
Aguda wanted to shake his head, but Shen Lian's eyes stared into his heart. He pursed his lips and finally nodded: "I have no reason to refuse."
"Oh, a promise is a promise, there is no reason to say anything."
Shen Lian laughed, then picked up the paper Qin Ziyi recorded, read it over, and said, "Are you sure there is not a word of lies?"
"Of course! Since I promised you to tell the truth, I will definitely not tell lies!"
Qin Ziyi pushed the sealing pad forward and said, "Make a fingerprint."
"What?"
"Of course, it is used as evidence to prove that you agree with our records, in case you don't admit it when the time comes."
Aguda frowned and looked at Shen Lian. Shen Lian responded to his gaze calmly. Their eyes met for a long time before Aguda finally snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze and directly pressed the handprint with his thumb.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shen Lian was very satisfied with Aguda's performance. He nodded: "Okay, your highness can leave... Oh, please help me call Nanzhao." Envoys come south."
Aguda didn't say a word and left with a cold face.
After Aguda left, Qin Ziyi said, "Commander Shen, do you believe what he said?"
Shen Lian laughed: "Do you think what he said is false?"
"The murderer, is he him?" Qin Ziyi asked.
Shen Lian calmly shook his head: "Of course not."
"Why?"
Why?
Shen Lian laughed in his heart, but shook his head and said nothing.
For some reason, Qin Ziyi suddenly felt a sad feeling from Shen Lian's body.
This made him very puzzled and surprised.
Shen Lian did not dwell on this matter. After all, the boy who killed the dragon eventually turned into an evil dragon. This was really not a happy thing.
He said: "This Prince Tiele is a fool at best. I chose him as the first person just to give you some experience."
"The people we are going to ask next are of higher rank than the last, so Qin Shaoqing, the next step is the challenge. You must be mentally prepared."
When Qin Ziyi heard this, his heart trembled slightly.
At this time, a figure slowly walked into the room.
He arched his hands slightly and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Shen, this is your courtesy."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the envoy from Nanzhao, Wang Chengdao, and nodded with a smile.
"Please take a seat."
He raised his hand and invited Wang Chengdao to take a seat.
Wang Chengdao didn't hesitate at all. He was as casual as if he had returned home. This casual attitude made Qin Ziyi aware of the difference between this man and Aguda.
And Shen Lian did not hide his gaze, looking at Wang Chengdao with an interrogating look.
Nanzhao envoy!
The only thing that can be determined at the moment...is the power of the Beidou Society!!
Before, Shen Lian never had the opportunity to have a direct solo with Wang Chengdao!
Unexpectedly, now, the opportunity has come.
According to the information Shen Lian had received before, Nanzhao was already occupied by Tianshu and Tianxuan of the Beidou Society.
Although I don’t know what method they used to become the rulers of Nanzhao.
But there is no doubt that the Nanzhao envoys' mission to the Tang Dynasty was definitely driven by them.
In Shen Lian's opinion, Wang Chengdao, who was selected as the envoy, was either a confidant of Tianshu and Tianxuan, or... he was simply one of Tianshu or Tianxuan!
Therefore, Shen Lian was also secretly concerned about Wang Chengdao.
It's just that Wang Chengdao was too quiet after arriving in Chang'an.
Apart from using the idiot Qi Hela to fuel the flames, he almost never proposed anything, let alone secretly left the inn.
It was as if he really was an envoy coming to a meeting.
This abnormality made Shen Lian feel that this guy must have a conspiracy.
Shen Lian looked at Wang Chengdao, and Wang Chengdao was also looking at Shen Lian at this time.
Although I had met Shen Lian many times before, this was the first time for me to be face to face like this.
Looking at Shen Lian's young face and his outstanding demeanor that could not be hidden at all, Wang Chengdao couldn't help but admire him.
"Heroes come from young! It has only been a few years since the Tang Dynasty, and such a stunningly talented and beautiful person has appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Sure enough... the Tang Dynasty is the land of heaven."
"Nanzhao is a small corner, incomparable to the Tang Dynasty. No wonder No. 1 and the others don't want to leave the Tang Dynasty... It's because our vision is narrow, but... we are back now."
"It's not certain who will control this Tang Dynasty in the end."
Wang Chengdao sneered in his heart, but his face showed no abnormality at all.
He looked at Shen Lian and said proactively: "Commander Shen, you can ask whatever you want. As long as I know something, I will answer truthfully."
This attitude is simply two extremes from Aguda.
Even though it was Qin Ziyi, knowing that Wang Chengdao was not a simple person, it was difficult for him to feel bad in his heart.
He now understood what Shen Lian had just reminded him.
Sure enough, the rank gap is too big.
Qin Ziyi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Wang, I just want to understand the situation."
"I'm not nervous, of course I'm not nervous. I didn't kill the person. I'm upright and not afraid of the shadows slanting. Why are you nervous?" Wang Chengdao looked casual.
Shen Lian raised his hand and pushed the candle in front of Wang Chengdao, illuminating Wang Chengdao even brighter, but because they were far away from the light source, it became a bit darker.
Shen Lian held his chin with his fingers, looked at Wang Chengdao calmly with his eyes, and asked: "Where was Mr. Wang when the crime occurred? What was he doing?"
Wang Chengdao smiled and said: "What a coincidence. When the incident occurred, I felt a little hungry, so I asked the guards to prepare some food for me. At that time, I was drinking and eating vegetables with my Nanzhao guards. They could all Prove it to me."
"Also... our food is provided by the inn, and the people in the inn should be able to prove it."
Qin Ziyi looked surprised when he heard this.
Is there really a witness?
He knew that when the crime occurred, it was when most people were sleeping, so it was normal for there to be no witnesses like Aguda did.
But Wang Chengdao happened to have a witness at that time.
Is this a coincidence?
Or…….
Qin Ziyi was confused but kept writing.
But Shen Lian's expression did not change at all.
It was as if he had known this would happen for a long time.
When Wang Chengdao said these words, he kept staring at Shen Lian and Qin Ziyi.
Wang Chengdao understood Qin Ziyi's reaction very well.
After all, it was such a coincidence that it was so late, eating and drinking by myself, and there were witnesses.
Even he thought it was really too coincidental!
However, Shen Lian's reaction puzzled him.
Because Shen Lian was so peaceful.
There weren't any surprises at all.
Why?
This is not right!
"Commander Shen, don't you feel surprised?" he couldn't help but ask.
Shen Lian said calmly: "What's the surprise? I knew I was asking about something, and I didn't want to care about your eating and drinking. Not to mention that you were eating and drinking at that time. Even if you were eating shit and drinking urine, I wouldn't be surprised." , let alone comment on your special hobbies, which is the professional quality that a professional criminal investigator should have."
Wang Chengdao: "……."
I don’t have that special hobby!
His expression almost lost control.
It's true that Shen Lian's serious words are so irritating.
Shen Lian looked at Wang Chengdao's depressed look and sneered in his heart.
He was really not surprised.
Of course, the reason is not the professional quality he mentioned.
But because...he saw it with his own eyes.
Moreover, he also knew why Wang Chengdao was drinking and eating at that time.
The reason is not at all what Wang Chengdao said about suddenly feeling hungry...
Wang Chengdao thought he was hiding well.
But it was a pity that Shen Lian happened to be passing by at that time.
Therefore, besides the knowledge of heaven and earth, there is also the knowledge of Shen Lian.
"It seems that Mr. Wang is indeed the one with the least suspicion." Shen Lian suddenly said.
Wang Chengdao nodded: "Of course."
"Does Mr. Wang have any suspicions?"
Shen Lian looked at Wang Chengdao and said: "The No. 5 Tiangang Courtyard where Mr. Wang lives is not far from the No. 1 Tiangang Courtyard, and Mr. Wang has a lot of contact with a group of envoys. So based on Mr. Wang's feelings, I don't know if Mr. Wang Sir, who do you think is the most likely murderer?"
Wang Chengdao obviously didn't expect that Shen Lian would ask him who was suspected.
