Chapter 59: Sneaky



"Could it be the Queen Mother's people who are causing trouble?"

Of course it’s impossible. Lu Wan already had the answer in his mind before asking.

The Queen Mother is the only breakthrough in this matter. If not the Queen Mother, who else could it be? According to his understanding, neither the vassal kings of the Dongxia nor the Nanxia dynasties had very strong power.

Of course, this does not include Shen Yan, the king of a different surname.

"It shouldn't be someone from the Queen Mother's side. The people outside just now are the Queen Mother's people. They have been monitoring our movements the whole time. If it was arranged by the Queen Mother, then there is no need for that."

Although Shen Yan knew that Lu Wan was just saying it casually, she still analyzed this idea seriously.

"Who's outside?"

Ying suddenly raised his head, which had been lowered, and stared outside with eagle-like eyes.

This is a play within a play, and everyone is an actor, but they just don’t realize it.

"Your Majesty, there is a jailer sneaking around outside. What should we do with him?"

Ying directly grabbed the person outside. He looked like an unlucky jailer who happened to run into the muzzle of a gun. Maybe he himself didn't even know why he was caught.

Lu Wan carefully observed the man's expression. It looked flawless, but as long as it was performed, there would definitely be flaws.

It just depends on whether you can discover it.

"Your Majesty, I have new testimony to submit!"

Lu Wan was already dressed, and considering what she had done before, she could only pretend that she had been persuaded to surrender.

She had to tell Chen Yan this clue, otherwise if she really released the jailer, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain.

"Please come closer, my lord. I only want to tell you this."

Lu Wan now felt more and more that everyone present was untrustworthy, but it wasn't that he didn't trust Ying.

It’s not that none of them can tell whether there is a fifth person here.

"Your Highness, you must not let this jailer go. Look, there is blood on the soles of his shoes. He must have been to the scene, which means he knows about this matter. Don't believe his excuses."

Nothing else matters. Just based on this bloodstain, we can probably conclude that this young jailer must have been here before and after the incident.

In this case, it would be better if he was an ordinary jailer, so that he could easily get clues. The only thing is that he might be an accomplice and have already alerted the enemy.

"Let's take it first. I'll check it out before making a decision."

Chen Yan now just wanted to get everyone away quickly. He really wanted to calmly analyze the current situation with Lu Wan.

Lu Wan subconsciously pushed his nonexistent glasses, and when he realized that he didn't have them, he touched his nose.

Chen Yan immediately realized that Lu Wan was about to start analyzing. This time Chen Yan really had no clue at all, otherwise he would not have called Lu Wan out alone.

"Your Majesty, this is just my personal opinion, which is rather one-sided and may not be of much value to you."

This time, Lu Wan barely thought about it and blurted it out.

"I think this time it's not an inside job, it's probably a play directed and acted by Liu Shen himself. I boldly guess that Liu Shen might be somewhere around us."

Lu Wan's hypothesis can be said to be very bold, and even she herself finds it difficult to convince herself.

Because all the evidence is really too obvious.

The person who has been confirmed dead, his clear and complete face, and the walls full of confessions all show that Liu Shen committed suicide out of fear of punishment. But is it possible that all this was a play directed and acted by Liu Shen himself?

It's like they were acting in a play.

"Your Highness, think about it carefully. It takes less than a day to get from the camp to this villa. At that time, he was still trying to avoid being tracked down, and even wanted to kill people to silence them. In less than a day, he regretted it so much that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. Does this make sense?"

Obviously this is not consistent.

So on this basis, Lu Wancai deduced that all this was a play directed and acted by Liu Shen himself.

The purpose is to get rid of all surveillance. As for whether to leave or stay, and whether to be an enemy or a friend after getting rid of it, it is unknown.

"That makes sense, but how do you explain the body?"

Shen Yan raised a question.

However, in fact, this is also one of the reasons why Lu Wan cannot be sure of his inference. Not to mention the present era, even thousands of years later when she lived, there is nothing that can change a person's appearance.

Unless... they are twins! "I know! Your Majesty, it's twins! The one who died might not be Liu Shen at all."

When Lu Wan realized this, he was so happy that he just jumped up.

"No, it was Liu Shen who died."

Ying, who had not interrupted until now, suddenly spoke up.

"I never thought of this possibility before, so I didn't even think about it that way. Liu Shen does have a twin brother..."

The film briefly describes the general situation of Liu Shen's family.

It can be said that the entire family was supported by Liu Shen's military salary alone. If not, Liu Shen would not have been able to stay in the army for so long. His original purpose was to sacrifice himself and get a pension.

I didn’t expect to get to where I am now.

"Since it is this thing, do any of you brothers who have been through thick and thin with Liu Shen know what characteristics it has? Go and compare it."

With a research direction, all other problems can be easily solved.

Then the dead person is the real Liu Shen, and it was Liu Shen’s younger brother who had been behind all this time, but this guy was so stubborn that he refused to reveal a single word... It seemed that the clue was about to be lost.

"How come there are so many bottles of wine in his room? I remember that the person who liked to drink was Liu Shen, but now the person living in the room is my younger brother. How come there are so many bottles of wine?"

"so?"

This doesn’t mean anything. It could also be a wine bottle left behind by my brother.

These two people look so much alike that it is impossible to tell them apart. Even relatives probably can't tell them apart at a glance.

What's more, it's people like them.

"Bring the jailer here to me."

Chen Yan was also troubled when he looked at the wine bottles in the cell. He always felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to verify it.

Since there are so many wine bottles, all of which are made of ceramics, if you want to commit suicide, wouldn't it be faster to use ceramic pieces? Why go to such great lengths to look for poison... Chen Yan expressed his thoughts, but was denied.

"Your Majesty, would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Lu Wan frowned. This matter was indeed strange and she still hadn't figured it out.

"I think the person who died was Liu Shen, but the person we brought back was not Liu Shen at all."
