No detail will change.
As a result, nature is the same.
It was exactly as he expected.
"This is?"
"There's a discovery!"
At this moment, some exclamations suddenly came from the courtyard.
Many government officials were attracted by the sound.
The envoys standing at the door were also attracted by the sound.
"What's wrong?"
"I seem to have discovered something."
"I discovered it. Could it be that...it's really Anthony..."
The envoys couldn't help but whisper.
Anthony's eyes widened suddenly, his face changed, and he said: "Impossible, I'm not a murderer, it's impossible to find anything."
He said as 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 lord, has he allowed you to leave?"
Anthony's face turned livid.
But he also knew that he couldn't communicate with Abao, a tough guy like him.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, Commander Shen, I'm going to see what's going on. I'm not the murderer at all."
Shen Lian looked at Anthony calmly and said, "Anthony, it's not that I want to embarrass you. Please ask everyone, do you want you to leave our sight now?"
When Anthony heard this, he couldn't help but look at the others.
He saw that the envoys were staring at him very vigilantly at this time, as if they were afraid that he would slip away if he didn't pay attention.
Those eyeballs are almost touching him.
Shen Lian laughed and continued: "Just stand here and wait quietly. If anything is found inside, it will be sent out soon."
"At that time, if there is really 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 up to something?"
"I….…"
Anthony looked ugly.
He felt that something was wrong.
But he also knew that Shen Lian was right.
He can't move at all now.
Otherwise, there is no need to go to see what Dali Temple found, he would have exposed it himself.
Therefore, he can only wait!
No matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.
Seeing Anthony's anxious look, Shen Lian calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at the courtyard opposite again, as if he had no curiosity about what happened in the courtyard.
Wang Chengdao frowned and glanced at Anthony. Seeing Anthony's anxious look, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is it really Anthony? If it is him..."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "If it's him, that's the best."
Everyone else was standing on tiptoes, looking into Courtyard No. 2.
They didn't know as much as Shen Lian, and they weren't as calm as Wang Chengdao. They were really curious to death at this moment.
What exactly was discovered.
Is the murderer actually Anthony?
At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out of the room in Courtyard No. 2.
The person walking at the front was Qin Ziyi, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Zhao Xianye was holding a tray in his hand.
There is something on the tray.
Everyone looked carefully with their eyes wide open, and found that... the thing on the tray was none other than a knife!
And they are also familiar with this knife!
This is...the Tang Dynasty Hengdao!
Tang Dynasty horizontal sword!
One of the swords of the Tang Dynasty soldiers!
The two most popular enemy-killing weapons in the Tang Dynasty are the Heng Dao and Mo Dao!
Modao is suitable for cavalry combat. On the battlefield, Modao is invincible.
The Heng Dao is smaller than the Mo Dao and is suitable for carrying around.
Therefore, ordinary guards will wear a horizontal sword when performing tasks.
Therefore, these envoys were also very familiar with the Tang Dynasty Hengdao.
The soldiers who protect them at the inn these days are wearing this kind of weapon.
Because of this, they recognized at a glance that the tray Qin Ziyi was dragging contained a horizontal knife.
It's just...where did this horizontal sword come from?
Doubts flashed in the eyes of Wang Chengdao and others
Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, suddenly changed his expression. When he saw the horizontal sword again, his expression completely changed.
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. He nodded to Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, we found a secret place under a loose floor under the couch in Anthony's room in Tiangang No. 2 Courtyard. grid, and inside the hidden grid, there is this horizontal knife."
Qin Ziyi did not rattle everyone's appetite and directly told the whole story.
After hearing this, everyone's expressions on Anthony also changed this time.
Sure enough, it was found in Anthony's room.
And it's still hidden in a secret room under the floor.
If Anthony is innocent, no one can believe it.
And, they suddenly remembered.
In the middle of the night, when Shen Lian came here, he asked Wu Zuo what the murder weapon might be, and Wu Zuo gave the answer at that time.
Moreover, Shen Lian told everyone directly without letting Wu Zuo and the others hide it.
There is an 80% chance that the murder weapon is Datang's horizontal sword!
At that time, some envoys also secretly accused Datang, thinking that it was Datang who did it.
It's just that Shen Lian was asking everyone at that time, so he didn't know.
But now, Qin Ziyi and the others discovered the hidden compartment and Hengdao in Anthony's room.
Does this... does it mean anything?
Everyone's eyes were firmly locked on Anthony.
They felt that they had found the murderer through their clever thinking.
As for Shen Lian, until now, his expression was as serious and indifferent as usual.
He looked at Anthony and said calmly: "Anthony, can you explain to us why the Tang Dynasty's Hengdao is hidden in your room?"
"And he is hiding in the secret room under your bed... This house has just been built not long ago, and I am specially watching the repairs. Why don't I know that the floor under your bed is loose, and inside Are there any hidden compartments?”
"So, can you explain it to us?"
As soon as Shen Lian said these words, the envoys became more convinced of their guesses.
Obviously, the hidden grid did not originally exist.
But it appeared after Anthony moved in.
It is self-evident who did it.
Anthony's face was a little pale, and sweat trickled down his forehead unknowingly. He said, "This... there is a secret grid, and there is a reason."
"This horizontal knife...I admit that I hid it."
"But I didn't kill anyone. I hid this horizontal knife just to collect it."
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Maybe you don't believe it, but in fact, although I am a civil servant, I like weapons very much, so I often collect various weapons."
"The Tang Dynasty Hengdao is famous far and wide, so I hid it now, thinking that when I return to the Dashi Kingdom, I will take it back to the Dashi Nation for collection."
"I really just wanted to collect it, I definitely didn't use it to kill anyone!"
Shen Lian glanced at Anthony and said, "Collect?"
"Anthony, do you think we will be satisfied with this answer?"
The envoys shook their heads.
A collection of bullshit!
Who the hell knows how to collect a knife?
And it’s hidden so deeply.
Anyway, they don’t believe it.
Anthony hurriedly said: "It's true. If you ask anyone in the Big Food Country, they all know about my hobby."
"Okay, let's not say whether your statement is true or false."
Shen Lian then said, "I would like to ask you, has this knife of yours ever been stained with blood?"
Anthony hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not. I just collected it. I definitely didn't do anything bad with it."
"That'll be easy."
Shen Lian said: "The Tubo prince was brutally decapitated by the murderer, so the murderer's weapon must be stained with blood."
"Blood is different from other things. Once it is stained with blood, it cannot be washed away with water within three days."
"so….…"
Shen Lian winked at Ah Bao and said, "Ah Bao, bring over a few more knives, make sure they are not stained with blood."
Abao didn't understand the reason why Shen Lian did this.
But he didn't waste any time and quickly found some knives.
He placed the knives on the table and said, "These have just been issued by the Ministry of Industry. They haven't seen any blood yet."
Shen Lian nodded slightly, and then said: "Go and get Anthony's so-called collection of knives to put them inside."
Abao quickly followed suit.
Then, Shen Lian said calmly: "Okay, let's just wait quietly."
"Wait?"
"What are you waiting for?"
All the envoys were at a loss.
They really couldn't figure out what Shen Lian was doing.
But Shen Lian has already shown them so many abilities that they are now convinced of Shen Lian and subconsciously in their hearts.
So Shen Lian said to wait, but no one refuted it.
Everyone just stared blankly at those horizontal knives.
Suddenly, some flies flew over.
These flies swayed from side to side above the knives, seeming to be looking for something.
Then, everyone suddenly discovered that those flies had all landed on the same knife and were resting on that knife.
And that knife belonged to no one else. It was a Heng 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 expressions changed.
Anthony shook his head: "Impossible! This is impossible! Why? Why is this happening?"
"What's wrong?"
"What is Anthony doing?"
Some envoys asked in confusion.
At this time, Shen Lian's voice was heard: "Fortunately, the flies are still active now, otherwise I would not be able to find a suitable solution for a while."
"Flies are different from us. They are more sensitive to smells. Flies like blood. A little smell of blood is enough to make them come."
"Even if the blood has been washed away by water, some of it will still remain, and the faint smell of blood will still come out."
"So, here come these flies."
"And there are so many knives here. They didn't even look at the other knives. They only landed on Anthony's knife. What does this mean? I don't think I need to explain it. Everyone can understand it, right?"
All the envoys were suddenly enlightened.
Their eyes widened suddenly, all staring at Anthony.
"It's really you!"
"No wonder you questioned Commander Shen's conclusion at the beginning. It turns out that the murderer was you. You were worried that Commander Shen would find you, so you deliberately questioned Mr. Qin!"
"We were almost fooled by you!"
"Fortunately, Commander Shen is aware of everything!"
"It's really too suspenseful! If it weren't for Commander Shen, wouldn't it be possible for you to escape!"
"Commander Shen, you are so powerful!!!"
These envoys spoke one after another.
Anthony's face turned completely pale, and he was extremely confused.
Why?
Why is this happening?
To this day, he still doesn't understand what happened.
As for Shen Lian, he just looked at Anthony calmly and asked, "You said your knife was not stained with blood."
"But it turns out that he was stained with blood within three days!"
"Anthony, why did you lie?"
"You...what else can you say?"
Shen Lian's few words left Anthony speechless.
Anthony's eyes widened, even though his mind was as deep as the sea, but at this moment, he suddenly encountered such a thing, and he couldn't react.
He never expected that the Hengdao that he secretly hid and was going to take back to the Great Food Country for study 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 was not stained with blood.
As a result, reality slapped me hard.
So...in the eyes of others, it is you who lied first.
Then if they don't trust you no matter what you say, there won't be any problem.
At this moment, Anton, you just feel extremely sad in your heart.
What's going on?
Anthony, the all-powerful prime minister in the food country, felt deeply powerless at this moment.
Don't talk about other people.
Just himself... After following Shen Lian's step-by-step deduction and finding himself, he felt that he was the murderer.
After all, various clues and evidence point to him with almost irrefutable evidence.
Based on his experience in solving cases in Dashi Country, if he encountered such a thing, he would never hesitate and close the case directly.
So, because of this, he was even more desperate.
Even more sad and angry!
He came to Datang, obviously coveting Datang and seeking benefits from Datang, but who knew that he would end up becoming a murderer?
This, what on earth is going on?
And...who killed Chihela!
Who did he take the blame for?
Anthony couldn't help but look at everyone. The envoys were looking at him with disgust at this moment.
Seeing him looking at them, they all responded to him fiercely. Even the envoys from the small country who were usually afraid of him were doing the same at this moment, making no secret of their disgust.
Anthony frowned.
These envoys from small countries should not have the courage to frame themselves.
Who could that be?
He continued to look at the envoys of other great powers.
He saw the eldest prince of Tiele, Aguda. At this moment, Aguda looked at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that he was the murderer.
