Chapter 1161

Although everyone already knew the answer, they still couldn't help but widen their eyes and stare at her without blinking.

"Actually, this is a very simple question. Every corner of the room has been searched, but there is only one place that hasn't been searched, and that is the box with the blueprint. It is also the only place where he could have hidden the blueprint, so he brought a thin partition and sealed the blueprint under it. Then he covered it with satin. When the honorable envoy opened the box, the first thing he saw was that the blueprint had disappeared. Everyone thought that the blueprint had been stolen, but in reality, the blueprint was still in the box and hadn't been taken out of the room."

After Chen Ning finished speaking, everyone let out sounds of realization.

"So it's like this!"

But the Northern Qi envoy's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he couldn't help wiping it off with his sleeve.

The empress' words, word by word, were still pushing him into a pit.

Even after hearing these words, he felt that this matter had something to do with him.

"But why would the thief do this? His goal wasn't to steal the blueprint, but to create the illusion that the blueprint had been stolen, right? "

Mo Chuan went straight to the point, his cold gaze sweeping over the Northern Qi envoy.

The Northern Qi envoy didn't dare raise his head under his gaze. He didn't do it, but he couldn't defend himself!

"The thief's intentions are indeed thought-provoking. His goal might be the blueprint, or it might not be the blueprint, because after the blueprint was stolen, this matter would definitely cause a huge uproar, and the entire city would be investigated. He was worried that the blueprint would be found if he brought it back to his side, so he left it in a safe place. And what is the safest place? Naturally, it's something that no one would have thought of, and that's this golden box. When the matter has passed and the thieves can't be caught and the blueprint is nowhere to be found, the Honorable Envoy naturally won't keep this useless box. It's very likely that he'll throw it aside. When that time comes, he'll retrieve this box and take out the blueprint that's hidden in the middle of the box. Wouldn't that be without anyone knowing? "

As soon as Chen Ning's voice fell, there was a wave of praise from all around.

Mo Chuan looked at her with a warm and admiring gaze, his heart filled with admiration.

This girl really was smart. Such a complicated scheme, such a deep scheme, but she seemed to have seen it with her own eyes. She described it in detail, and it was incomparably clear.

"Then doesn't that mean the person who stole the blueprint is already on the verge of revealing himself?" Mo Chuan said coldly, his gaze falling upon the Northern Qi envoy.

The Northern Qi envoy's back was completely soaked in cold sweat. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a single word.

Chen Ning shook her head and said, "It's not that obvious, but it's even more confusing. However, this matter can prove that the theft of the blueprint is indeed unrelated to this esteemed envoy."

Hearing this, the Northern Qi envoy looked at Chen Ning with gratitude, and this time, he was speechless.

At a time when everyone was wrongly accusing him, there was someone who stood out to clear his name and prove his innocence. He was willing to lay down his life for that person and die a hundred times without regrets!

Mo Chuan slightly knit his brows. He looked at her and said, "Why are you so sure?"
