Such a great visual aid!! *g* As you know, I already have an excessive amount of WIP set during this time. (I really did mean to finish it before you posted this, dammit! *g*)
I wish we knew what days of the week it was. If Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei were gone for a weekend, that would at least explain Changcheng not showing up at the Department of Supervision until afterwards.
He's been in touch with others, since he's informed about what's been going on
I'm not sure that's certain? He knows about Ye Zun's declaration of war, but there are various ways he could have found out -- someone made a failed attack on the SID, the palace sent a smoke messenger or formal letter via dark-energy post to the SID...
and we learn they must have separated briefly, since Shen Wei explains he told Da Qing to find the rest of the SID team.
... unless that's an "as you know, Bob" piece of dialogue, said to reassure, and Zhao Yunlan was there for the instruction. But it could just as easily have been a brief separation. Maybe Zhao Yunlan went to check on Lao Li.
and then Inspectorate people arrived, finding their dead colleagues, so he had to go. Which I assume means he briefly left, then returned to the SID to wait for Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan.
Or did he just transform into a cat and hide? I'm not sure he'd leave the SID at that point? (It's so weird that he tried to move the Hallows then, because surely that would risk closing the wormhole??)
Was Shen Wei still at home when Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing and Chu Shuzhi were there?
I think so. I think that's why they went to the flat. And then maybe Da Qing was scouting around and happened to see Shen Wei (because Da Qing was lurking around the route to the SID, maybe spying on the DoS people so he could report back to Zhao Yunlan)?
(For that matter, how was that declaration communicated to Haixing?)
Oh, was it? Does Minister Gao know? In that case, Da Qing could easily have overheard DoS people talking about it while he was in cat form.
Why did Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei and Da Qing leave the Hallows at the SID when they left after the return from the wormhole?
If the security barrier's back up, it's still possibly the safest place for them, and maybe they thought that if Da Qing couldn't move them, no one (including DoS staff) could?
I don't want to speculate too much more yet because of my WIP, but this is all great food for thought, and again, I really love your diagram. ♥ \o/
