Reporter: Currently, a rumour has spread about the highness, Qin Shi Huang. The rumour is that he died on the journey for the official inspection of his empire. I would like to call Jun Shu for more information.

Jun Shu: This is Jun Shu in front of the castle reporting.

Reporter: I would like to know if there is any evidence that is related to this?

Jun Shu: Two fish tanks flanked the king’s carriage as people are not allowed to come up close to the king. We were able to contact the king’s crew member who was close to him.

RANDOM: I am sure I saw the king dead. Albeit being blocked by soldiers, I could see the king lying down through the window, without a single movement, with Li Siu, the current prime minister, sitting down next to him.

Jun Shu: Currently, three assumptions stand firm.
The first is about an assassination. Jing Ke tried to kill the king a long time ago, and there were many others who tried to assassinate the king. Also, Gan Ba tried to kill the king as he crushed a carriage that seemed to have the king. However, it should be mentioned that the king did not allow any weapons in his room.

Jun Shu: Second is about poisoning. Many poisoned foods were given to the king in an attempt to kill him. The medicines given to the king were good on his body, but some medicines can create harmful effects if they are eaten together. As he tried to find the elixir of immortality, alchemists also made potions that were known to extend his longevity, but those may have caused side effects on him. This is predictable because those contained mercury, which is an unknown substance and may be dangerous.

Jun Shu: Third and last is about dying naturally. Although he was still young and healthy, he was stressed by the five inspections he used to look around Qin and his work on writing papers. Based on the kings who died naturally, he seems to be around the age where kings die (Around the 40 ~ the 50s). Also, he was weakened by insomnia, which damages the mind of a person associated and disrupts that person while sleeping. Conclusively, the rocky roads and the stress that was held by the king may have caused the king to

    A person’s behavior almost always can be justified, if their motives, goals, and needs are taken into perspective. All actions are prompted by motives. An athlete doesn’t train and practice to just do so, they do it to improve and to reach a specific goal. Although some may disagree, the US Army does not engage in war because they have the power to do so, but for political reasons. Same goes for the Driver and Nameless, who are prompted to assassinate the King and rob a pawn shop, not for personal satisfaction or achievement, but for personal self duty.…
