Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 704 is incredible and full of solemnity!
"So, with such a long time and so many times, Han Xun must have known some of Zhang Qin's secrets without Zhang Qin noticing."

"In that case, what do you think Han Xun will do when he finds out what secrets Zhang Qin and the others are looking for in the files, considering his desire to avenge his brother?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly flashed.

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Sishe glanced at Han Xun and said, "He will find a way to use this incident to threaten Zhang Qin and find out Zhao Yeqin's relatives!"

Wang Xiaohua's beautiful eyes were also full of brilliance at this moment: "Because Zhang Qin controls the lives of Zhao Yeqin's relatives, they dare not go to the government, lest Zhang Qin kills people in anger."

"So, they can only find another way. If they can get hold of the secret that Zhang Qin wants, they will have the conditions to ask Zhang Qin to release the person!"

"Therefore..."

Wang Xiaohua looked at Han Xun and asked, "Has Han Xun found what Zhang Qin and the others are looking for?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Han Xun closely.

Han Xun was silent for a moment, but shook his head.

"No?"

Wang Xiaohua frowned.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Zhang Qin and the fake Han Qian have been searching for ten years but still haven't found it. Perhaps they are not sure what they are looking for."

"So, how could Han Xun find it in such a short time?"

"but……"

Shen Lian changed the subject and said slowly, "He really didn't know what Zhang Qin and his team were looking for, and he really didn't find those secrets in advance. However, he was able to find out which files Zhang Qin and his team were looking for through secret observation."

"And this also creates an opportunity for him!"

Du Chuke asked hurriedly: "What opportunity?"

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said calmly, "He replaced the original with a fake one, so that Zhang Qin and the others had no choice but to ask him for an opportunity!"

"in other words."

"Since he doesn't know what the secret is, then just take away the files containing the secret and hide them!"

"How can Zhang Qin and his men find the secrets when they can't even find the files? So in the end, we can only beg them for help!"

"That is to say."

Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "Han Xun, you took all the real files away, right? And the ones hidden in the file room are all fake files, right?"

Hearing Shen Lian's words, Du Chuke's eyes immediately fixed on Han Xun.

He clenched his fists, and his whole body showed an expression of great anticipation and nervousness.

At this moment, he didn't care whether Han Xun was the murderer.

What he was more concerned about was whether Han Xun had replaced all the files as Shen Lian said!

If this is true, that would be great!
He won't be punished, and these precious treasures won't disappear completely!

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Han Xun, and they were also waiting for Han Xun to give an answer.

Han Xun, on the other hand, looked at Shen Lian with eyes completely filled with shock and awe.

His whole body was trembling, a subconscious reaction after all his secrets were discovered.

He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "You...you...how do you know all this?"

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!"

No matter how Han Xun thought about it, he couldn't understand it.

And his reaction was tantamount to confirming Shen Lian's words!

He really did steal all the files in advance!

And sure enough, those precious files were not destroyed!
This made Du Chuke so happy that he almost jumped up.

Wang Xiaohua and others also looked at Han Xun in surprise.

In fact, they couldn’t figure out how Shen Lian discovered all this!
After all, everyone knows that Shen Lian has only been here for less than an hour!

It was shocking enough for them that Shen Lian found the murderer of Zhang Qin in such a short time, and now, Shen Lian actually revealed Han Xun's secret.

This made Wang Xiaohua and others feel as if they were dreaming.

"How do you know those files were replaced by me?"

Han Xun finally couldn't help it, he asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian curled up his lips into a smile.

He picked up the teacup, shook it gently, and said, "I've been to the fire scene on the second floor and checked the burned files."

"Most of those files were burned, but there were some scraps left that were not completely burned."

"And when I saw the corners of those files, I suddenly realized that something was wrong."

As he spoke, Shen Lian took out a piece of paper with only a small corner left, and the surrounding area was still pitch black.

He said: "This is the edge that I found at the scene. Do you think he has any problems?"

"question?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped forward and took a closer look.

I saw that there was nothing of my own in this corner.

The surroundings were burnt and pitch black.

The paper also became very crisp due to the burning fire.

Apart from that, they didn't find anything special.

Seeing that no one was talking, Shen Lian smiled and said, "I have another file here, which was not burned on the second floor."

As he spoke, he took out a file from his arms.

Then, he placed the files and the corners on the table and said, "Compare them."

........................

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over quickly.

At this time, the thief Wang Xiaohua, who had rich professional knowledge, suddenly exclaimed, "The new and old papers are different!"

"Although the burned paper was somewhat brittle due to the fire, its color is obviously better than the file, which shows that it is more recent."

When everyone heard this, they hurried to check carefully.

Du Chuke also spoke up at this time: "That's true!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Xiaohua is right. The new and old papers are different."

........................

"As for the burned papers, I asked the chief clerk about them, and he said that they were from a much older period than the file I was holding."

"But if that's the case, then why does the paper look newer in color?"

“In fact, it’s not just the year that’s newer, it’s brand new paper.”

“Because, look here.”

As he spoke, Shen Lian pointed to the lower right corner and said, "There is a very faint pattern here." Everyone looked over.

Then I saw that there was indeed a very light pattern like a cloud.

Because the dust was so heavy, they didn't notice it just now.

Shen Lian said, "This is the logo of the famous Four Colors House in Chang'an City. Every year, the Four Colors House's paper has a different logo. This year's logo is a cloud."

"Therefore, the moment I saw it, I knew that this paper was from this year."

"It also means that this file is not from more than ten years ago, but was put in this year!"

As a private detective in his previous life, Shen Lian had extremely high demands on himself.

If you want to solve the case as quickly as possible, you need to have knowledge in many aspects.

Astronomy and geography, biochemistry, literature and history, physics and finance...

When committing crimes, murderers will leave corresponding clues and evidence depending on their occupations and interests.

But if you don't understand these things, even if the evidence is right in front of you, you will ignore it like a blind person.

Therefore, although Shen Lian in his previous life could not be said to be a learned man, he definitely knew everything and had almost no knowledge gaps.

After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Shen Lian continued his habits from his previous life because the burden on him was heavier than that of a private detective in his previous life.

Everything he came into contact with during the Tang Dynasty was absorbed into his brain like a sponge.

Because of this, even if it is a piece of paper that can be found everywhere, he can easily identify many characteristics at a glance.

Naturally, he could tell at a glance that this paper was from the Four-Colored House of Chang'an Civilization.

When Du Chuke heard Shen Lian's words, he suddenly thought of something, and he said directly: "Han Xun, let me see the paper you used."

As he said that, he went straight to Han Xun's desk and picked up the paper that Han Xun had not yet written on.

Then look to the lower right corner.

Sure enough, there was a light cloud pattern there.

"It is indeed the rice paper from Sisezhai."

"Han Xun, do you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, Han Xun looked at Shen Lian with an expression full of admiration.

He couldn't help but say, "Before, I only heard that Shen Lian, the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty, was a god at solving cases. He was extremely smart and there was nothing he couldn't find as long as he had seen the clues."

"I originally thought that this rumor was a bit exaggerated."

"But today I realized that this rumor underestimated Lord Shen's ability."

Shen Lian smiled: "It's just an empty reputation."

"It's not an empty reputation, but there is no false reputation under the great reputation!"

Han Xun shook his head, his tone quite emotional.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Just because of the registration frequency on a booklet and because the paper is from this year, you concluded that I changed the file?"

"Why don't you suspect that this was replaced by Zhang Qin?"

"It's obvious that Zhang Qin is more suspicious than me!"

When everyone heard Han Xun's words, they all looked at Shen Lian in confusion. This was also their confusion.

Zhang Qin is indeed more suspicious than Han Xun.

It would be far-fetched to doubt Han Xun just because of this.

Shen Lian said: "This is certainly not a reason for me to suspect that you did all this."

"As you said, I suspected from the beginning that those files were replaced by Zhang Qin."

"Also, I suspect that Zhang Qin burned these files in order to destroy the evidence and never let us know that he had replaced them."

"In this way, he can find a place to quietly search for the secret..."

"I am a human, not a god, so I cannot know everything. Therefore, I will act according to the most suspected person."

As he spoke, Shen Lian looked towards Si Snake.

Sishe then spoke up: "Lord Shen previously ordered me to use the intelligence capabilities of the Shadow Guards to search for all hiding places related to Zhang Qin."

"Including Zhang Qin's mistress and the places Zhang Qin often goes to."

"The shadow guards quickly found out that Zhang Qin had three other mansions in Chang'an City besides the Zhang Mansion."

"Two of the mansions were bought secretly, and one was where he kept his mistress."

"Then, we sneaked in to investigate, but we found no trace of any files, nor any trace of a secret room."

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "Because I have a lot of experience in searching, as long as they say there is nothing, then there is definitely nothing."

"So, this proves that those files were not stolen by Zhang Qin. After all, if he stole them, he would have found a secret place that he was familiar with to hide them."

"But the Shadow Guard was not found."

"Then this can only prove one thing."

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said, "That means Zhang Qin did not steal the files. Someone else replaced them."

"So, apart from him, you, whose frequency is even higher than his, naturally become the biggest suspect!"

"And it was then that I finally understood the real reason why Zhang Qin insisted on seeing you before he escaped."

"The real reason?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly turned their eyes to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said, "When Zhang Qin was making the fire device, he discovered the problem with the files and guessed that they were fake files, or in other words, they were not the original files."

"I asked the chief clerk, and he said that before Zhang Qin left, he flipped through the registration book. I think... he was trying to find out who had replaced the files without telling him."

"As a result, you, who have a higher frequency than usual, naturally came into his sight!"

"Zhang Qin originally wanted to leave directly. He also didn't want to leave any trouble for himself. However, after he found out that the files had been replaced, he couldn't do that because he had to find the originals and either get them or destroy them."

"That's why he went to find you two."

"Zhao Yeqin was the person Zhang Qin threatened. When you first found out that Zhang Qin was looking for you, you might have thought that Zhang Qin was looking for Zhao Yeqin."

"But, it wasn't until you came here that you realized that the person Zhang Qin was really looking for was you...Han Xun!"

Han Xun's eyes flickered.

Zhao Yeqin widened his eyes and looked at Shen Lian in shock.

The others were also listening quietly to Shen Lian's reasoning.

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said, "Zhang Qin knows your secret. He doesn't have much time to negotiate with you, so I think, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have threatened you."

"Perhaps, he is using Zhao Yeqin's relatives to threaten you, so that you will bow to him for the lives of your brothers and relatives."

"Perhaps, he is using Zhao Yeqin as an example to threaten you with your relatives and make you bow your head."

"No matter which one it is, Zhang Qin feels that he has you in his grasp. After all, he has a towering tree behind him, and he doesn't think you can escape from his grasp."

"And the reason why he came to find you in advance was because he was afraid that after you saw that the files were burned, you would take out the files you hid. If that happened, it would not be in his interest, so he specifically came to find you before leaving."

"And the reason why he came to find you in advance was because he was afraid that after you saw that the files were burned, you would take out the files you hid. If that happened, it would not be in his interest, so he specifically came to find you before leaving."
