False Clues For Real Clues

It took Rael just a moment to put his old enemy's plan together.

The truth of the matter was that Rui alone was the one who had committed the fraud without any involvement of the Emperor of Harmony himself. 

The truth was indeed that Rui had engaged in massive fundraising under intentional and knowingly false pretenses and lies.

It was indeed fraud.

This was the truth.

On top of that, while Rui had done a great job with hiding the truth considering his constraints and pressure, he had not been flawless. He still had left clues and pieces of evidence that could be found if people already knew what they were looking for. 

There were indeed real, actual clues to the truth even in the public record and intelligence sold by intelligence brokers. They were sprinkled in tiny little pieces, spread out over the information landscape and waiting to be discovered.
