809 Serendipity 2 (1/2)

Qiao Chu and the others looked quizzically at Lei Chen. If not for Lei Chen's completely expressionless face and his unfocused eyes, they would have really thought that Lei Chen was intentionally not telling them the truth.

”What is happening here? The map is not in Lei Chen's hands? Was he really telling the truth?” Qiao Chu immediately asked as he turned to Jun Wu Xie.

Jun Wu Xie was silent a moment before she proclaimed: ”He is telling the truth.”

She had earlier felt that Lei Chen's reaction had been rather strange as it was impossible that he could have received any training which would mean he should not have any resistance against the hypnosis drug. But, when she had interrogated him on his relationship with the Middle Realm, he had exhibited obvious signs of struggle and such circumstances would only occur when one had undergone specific training and only when the questions had been extremely important to the person under hypnosis. But there was one more instance that the same situation might occur…..

If the one being interrogated had completely no information about the question source, or he had never ever heard of it before, then the brain of the person hypnotised would result in helpless confusion and he would be unable to answer.

Jun Wu Xie had just been guessing earlier, but she was certain now.

That piece of map, had never been in Lei Chen's hands!

”No wonder Little Black did not find anyone from the Middle Realm in the Crown Prince's Residence the last time.” Jun Wu Xie mumbled to herself softly.

”Do you have any copies of the map?”

Lei Chen replied: ”That was the only one. I was afraid of being discovered and hence I did not make any copies.”

Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. ”How did you get that map?” Although the map wasn't in Lei Chen's possession, they had nevertheless gotten more information that the map could very well be intricately linked to the Emperor of the Yan Country and if that turned out to be true, it would be much more difficult to get their hands on the map than when they had thought it was with Lei Chen.
