The Truth!
Lu Qing led Han Min through the long street and arrived at the outer Urban area of Chang 'an, where the common people lived.
The houses here were arranged in rows. Compared to the wealthy districts like Yongle Square, it was a little crowded. However, there was more life and a hint of humanity.
"Lord Shaoqing, where are we going?”Han Min followed Lu Qing for a long distance. She was so tired that she could not help but ask.
Lu Qing suddenly stopped, turned around and said,""We're here."
"This is?"
Han Min quickly looked over and saw that they had stopped in front of a very ordinary courtyard. This courtyard was not big and was surrounded by fences. There was only an ordinary house inside.
At this moment, there was still light coming from the house. The person inside should not have rested yet.
Lu Qing didn't answer Han Min's question. He pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
Han Min knew that the case would soon be solved, so she quickly followed Lu Qing into the very ordinary courtyard.
Lu Qing didn't hide his footsteps. He came to the front of the house and raised his hand. After thinking for a while, he didn't barge in. Instead, he knocked on the door and said,"Lu Shisan, are you inside?"
"Who is it? Lu Shisan?"
Han Min was stunned. Why was she at Lu Shisan's house?
Didn't Lord Shaoqing say that he wanted to tell him everything?
Why did he come to Thirteenth Lu's house?
Could it be…that this matter had something to do with Lu Shisan?
Just as Han Min was puzzled, Lu Shisan's voice came from inside. His voice was a little hoarse, but there was some admiration and respect in it."Lord Shaoqing is indeed powerful. You found me so quickly.”
Lu Qing smiled. Without hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered, the smell of blood assaulted his senses.
When Han Min saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened and her pupils constricted slightly.
"This…this is…"
Inside the house, Lu Shisan was sitting on a stool. He looked tired but also a little excited.
Beside him, a person was lying on the ground.
The man looked to be in his forties. He was dressed luxuriously and was fat. One look and one could tell that he was either rich or noble.
At this moment, this person's entire body was covered in wounds, and blood kept flowing out.
His face was filled with fear, but his eyes were wide open. There was no focus in his eyes. He was already dead.
Lu Qing was not as shocked as Han Min. He seemed to have expected this and calmly said,"The head of the Zheng family?"
Lu Shisan nodded. His eyes were filled with cold hatred."A person who deserves to be killed!"
"Why is the Zheng family's patriarch here? Lu Shisan, why did you kill him?”
Han Min was extremely confused right now. She had no idea what was going on.
He felt like an idiot standing there.
The two people in front of him obviously knew everything, but he knew nothing.
He felt so sad.
Lu Shisan also looked at Lu Qing and said,""I am also very curious. When did Lord Shaoqing suspect me? When did he know all of this?”
Lu Qing exhaled slowly and collapsed on the stool.
After a busy night, he was tired.
"Actually, I suspected you from the very beginning. Of course, I didn't specifically suspect you. I suspected you Shadow Guards.”
"Why?" Lu Shisan asked. Han Min was also confused.
"There are two reasons," said Lu Qing.
"The first is the fog. There are many ways to create fog, but there are not many ways to create such a thick fog in a short period of time to hide people.”
"The simplest method is to use something like dry ice to make the fog. The dry ice will cause the temperature to drop rapidly, so your testimony that the temperature was low at that time also proves this.”
"Dry ice? What's that?" Han Min had never heard of this before.
Lu Qing waved his hand and said," Don't worry about what it is. In any case, something similar can quickly create fog. This kind of thing is extremely rare. Ordinary people can't even see it. If there is one, it can only be found in the Imperial Palace."”
"Therefore, the thing that created the fog is very likely to come from the palace. This is my first suspicion. Not everyone can enter the palace. Only you Shadow Guards can come and go freely.”
"What's the second reason?" Lu Shisan nodded slightly.”
Lu Qing continued," The second one is what you told me. From the moment the princess was enveloped by the mist to the moment you rushed over and found that the princess had disappeared…there was only twenty breaths of time.”
"I've already checked that place carefully. There's no back door of the mansion in that alley, nor is there any tunnel or other place that can be used to escape quickly. So, it's impossible to make two living people disappear into thin air in such a short time.”
"Not to mention that your Shadow Guards had specially searched in all directions. I don't believe that someone would be faster than you Shadow Guards with two living people.”
"Therefore, if we eliminate all possible outcomes, then even the most impossible things are the truth.”
"What truth?" Han Min could not help but ask.
Lu Qing looked at Lu Shisan and said," That is…the princess's disappearance is most likely the work of the hidden guards."”
"What is it? A hidden guard committing a crime?" Han Min's eyes widened.
He had never thought about this.
Shadow Guards!
This was the most mysterious organization under the direct leadership of the Emperor!
He was only responsible for the Emperor, Li Shimin!
Everyone who wanted to become a Shadow Guard had to go through countless tests. There was no need to say anything about loyalty.
So…Han Min had never doubted the possibility that the loyal Shadow Guards would abduct the princess!
Lu Qing glanced at Han Min and did not think that she was stupid.
It was just that he had made a mistake in his habitual thinking. Perhaps only he, a transmigrator, who had a more active vision and mind, dared to think about anything and suspect anyone.
" If there are hidden guards involved, then there will be problems with your hidden guards 'statements…or even if there are no problems, it will definitely not be comprehensive, because as long as a hidden guard lies, it will cover up the real truth.”
"And this is enough to cause the seemingly impossible disappearance.”
Han Min was still in shock.
Lu Shisan couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"As expected of Lord Shaoqing. I really didn't expect that you had already begun to suspect us so early on.”
"Then when did you start suspecting me?" Lu Shisan asked.”
Lu Qing suddenly sighed. He took out a pearl hairpin and said,""Lu Shisan, this pearl hairpin…is actually your daughter's, right?”
"It's…the one you bought for your daughter, right?”
