Therefore, if these three brothels are eliminated, a lot of people will be reduced at once.

Shen Lian thought for a while and then said: "Exclude all restaurants!"

He explained: "First of all, if you live in a restaurant, you may be disturbed by the waiter and other tenants. Even if you are told not to allow anyone to disturb you, this cannot be completely avoided."

"Secondly, restaurants are important places for outsiders to live. It is impossible for Beichen not to know that our imperial court will have very strict management of restaurants and will keep an eye on them secretly."

"So there is a certain probability that his stay will be discovered."

"And in this case, Beichen definitely doesn't want to find out about any surprises."

"You know, he didn't even tell the other Stars. In this case, what he wants is to be foolproof."

"Therefore, he doesn't stay in places like restaurants where accidents may happen."

Tianji didn't say anything, but directly marked the area of ​​the restaurant.

This is enough to show his support for Shen Lian's judgment.

"Two restaurants...hey, the number of restaurants is actually less than that of brothels."

Tianji chuckled.

Shen Lian said: "The more prosperous the place, the more important the entertainment venues are."

"And the brothel also functions as a restaurant, so the restaurant's customer base here is not as good as that of the brothel."

"If the source of customers is small, the number of tourists must also be small. Otherwise, they will not have enough to eat, and they will all starve to death."

Tianji nodded in agreement.

Shen Lian glanced at the map and said, "Shops that have a lot of people coming and going, and that have a prosperous business, can also be eliminated."

Tianji explained: "People come and go. When there are more people, there will be more problems."

"There is never a shortage of weird people in this world, so no one knows whether weird customers will suddenly appear. If such people appear and cause conflicts, these stores will attract attention."

"So by hiding in a store, you can certainly get more information, but the risk of exposure is also high."

Shen Lian nodded and said: "I agree."

"And there's another reason."

Tianji looked at him.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Beichen has no shortage of intelligence sources."

"The Beidou Club under him is enough to help Beichen obtain any useful information, so there is no need for him to personally take action to find out the information."

"Under such circumstances, he will naturally not take risks."

As he spoke, Shen Lian took out a pen from his arms and directly crossed out more than a dozen places.

Seeing Shen Lian making a cross, Tianji raised her eyebrows: "You have nothing to do and you bring a pen?"

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "I am a person who likes to list out the clues I get, and then compare and analyze them one by one."

"So usually, I always carry a pen with me so that I don't suddenly think of something and my thoughts are delayed because I don't have a pen."

Tianji couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, no one can succeed casually."

Shen Lian looked at the map, as he and Tianji were eliminated one after another.

On the map, some areas are already crossed out, which means they don’t need to be considered.

Shen Lian said: "About 30% of the places can be eliminated."

Tianji looked at the map, frowned slightly and said, "But there are still 70% of the place left, and it is not easy to eliminate these 70% of the place at once."

Restaurants, brothels, and popular shops.

It is not difficult to eliminate these areas.

But the remaining places are mainly residential.

This kind of place is not so easy to rule out.

Because it is easy to hide people in any residence.

It is difficult to find unless you go deep into it.

Shen Lian thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not that it's not easy to rule out."

"Like here."

Shen Lian pointed to a place.

Tianji looked at it.

Shen Lian said: "Although the prices of the houses here are relatively high, they are not large mansions. They are more rented by neighbors."

"In this kind of house, there are often several families in one yard."

"So, unless all the residents in a courtyard are members of the Beidou Society."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for Beichen to hide here, because there are so many residents here and they are all too familiar with each other. Once a stranger comes to someone's house, they will pay attention immediately."

Tianji's eyes lit up.

"You're right."

"If this is the case, then we can discharge a lot at once."

"Because in the city of Chang'an where every inch of land is precious, in addition to the princes, nobles, gentry and wealthy businessmen, there are more ordinary people, and most of the places where they live are also in this kind of place."

Saying that, Tianji quickly picked up the pen and put a cross on the map.

Area after area was excluded.

Area after area disappears.

Soon, half of the area disappeared.

Tianji said: "In this case, only 30% is left."

"The area suddenly became much smaller."

Shen Lian looked at the remaining 30% of the area, squinted his eyes, and said: "There is not much left, but on the contrary, it is even harder to eliminate!"

"The former ones can be easily eliminated by relying on logic and speculation."

"But the rest requires deeper thinking."

Tianji nodded: "The remaining areas are mainly filled with wealthy mansions."

"This kind of mansion has extremely high walls. Once the door is closed, no one knows who is inside."

"Moreover, this kind of mansion doesn't have close contact with the neighbors next door, and they don't go there every day to visit, so it's difficult for outsiders to find someone hiding there."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He looked at Tianji and said, "If you were forced to exclude them from this, which ones would you exclude?"

Tianji thought for a while and said: "If the house is in the middle of a road, it can be excluded."

"Beichen must leave an escape route for himself. If the mansion is located in the middle, there will only be one way to escape and it will be easy to be blocked."

……………………

"So, if I were Beichen, I would definitely choose a location near the intersection."

Shen Lian smiled: "I think so too."

"So we can exclude some of them."

As he spoke, Shen Lian made crosses on the map one after another.

"Now, only two percent are left."

"So we can exclude some of them."

As he spoke, Shen Lian made crosses on the map one after another.
