Chapter 358: As expected of you! Extremely terrifying!
Chu Suiliang was immediately overjoyed and said: "These two places are in Xiaguan, among the five places just mentioned. If this is the case, these two places can be excluded, and then there will only be three places left."
Having said this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Lian, his face full of admiration: "It turns out that Commander Shen has already plotted against Beichen and made preparations for it."
"I was able to eliminate two locations easily, and now there are only three locations left. I admire you! I have great admiration!"
Chu Suiliang really admired Shen Lian immensely.
He didn't expect that Shen Lian would be able to fight with Beichen in a battle of wits and courage in the inn, but he would also be able to find his mind to deal with the real Beichen outside the inn!
This huge thinking processing ability and terrifying overall view made Chu Suiliang truly admire him from the bottom of his heart.
The smarter the person, the more he understands how difficult it is for Shen Lian to achieve this.
But Shen Lian didn't feel anything.
For him, this kind of thing is really not easy.
He looked at Chu Suiliang and said: "In this case, there are only three locations. Mr. Chu, please lead the way. Let's go and take a look."
Chu Suiliang nodded quickly.
He couldn't tell which of those places was Beichen's previous hiding place.
But he believed that if it was Shen Lian, he would be able to find it.
As for Shen Lian, he was also quite excited and excited at the moment.
After all, before, he could not find Beichen's whereabouts at all.
But this time, taking advantage of the incident of Wan Bang coming to Tang Dynasty, Shen Lian directly took advantage of this incident and set up a trap for Beichen.
He knew that Beichen valued this matter so much that he would definitely come in person.
And he also knew that the distance Beichen controlled the puppet was within ten miles.
Therefore, Beichen will only hide in this range.
But he was worried that if he made preparations in advance, it would arouse Beichen's alert, and he might not even come.
In this case, he will once again miss the opportunity to catch Beichen.
Therefore, he simply took pictures of Zhang He, the heir to the thieves family, and used his powerful speed and hiding methods to observe in secret.
See if you can find Beichen's hiding place!
He didn't expect to catch Beichen in one go.
That is impossible!
After fighting with Beichen so many times, he already knew how difficult Beichen was.
It is basically impossible to catch him so easily.
And Shen Lian didn't want to catch Beichen directly.
All he wanted was to find Beichen's hiding place!
He had never had direct contact with Beichen before, so he could not make any direct inferences about Beichen.
Some speculations are also based on the confessions of other members of the Beidou Society.
But the Beichen those people know may not be the real Beichen.
Beichen has been passed down from generation to generation, and his skills are definitely not weak.
Therefore, it is not impossible even if you show others a false identity.
Not to mention that Beichen is also good at puppetry. Maybe the Beichen those guys saw were all puppets.
Therefore, Shen Lian needs a direct opportunity to find clues to Beichen!
And this time is his chance!
In his previous life, he heard a famous saying from the detective industry.
That is... whenever you pass by, you will definitely leave traces!
He forgot what the specific words were, but that was the meaning.
He has always believed in this statement!
As long as you have done it, as long as you have stayed there, as long as you have passed by... there will definitely be traces left behind!
Nothing is absolutely perfect in this world!
There is no way to completely eliminate evidence clues.
so……
As long as he can find where Beichen is hiding, he will definitely be able to find clues about Beichen!
Even if Beichen is cautious, he is as cunning as a fox.
But this time, he escaped in a complete hurry.
He never thought that he would have so many backup plans!
Therefore, Beichen, this time, absolutely will not do the finishing work perfectly!
And all of this is an opportunity for Shen Lian!
This is his first chance to find clues to Beichen in a real sense!
"Commander Shen."
At this time, Chu Suiliang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
He stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard, pointed to the closed door of the house opposite, and said: "This is one of those three places!"
Shen Lian raised his eyes and looked.
I found that this is a very ordinary courtyard, surrounded by high walls. The area is not large, but in a place like Chang'an City where land is at a premium, it is not cheap.
Chu Suiliang said: "This place is rented out by Yahang. According to the people from Yahang, the renter is a man about fifty years old. This morning, the people from Yahang came to collect this month's rent. At that time There are others."
"But just now, we sent people to call the door and investigate, but found that...it was empty."
Shen Lian nodded slightly while exploring the mansion.
From the outside, the mansion is unremarkable.
Although it is a house located in a prosperous area, in terms of decoration and area, it is very different from other wealthy and noble mansions.
Therefore, in comparison, this house is even more inconspicuous.
If it is inconspicuous, it will not be too noticeable.
It is a very suitable hiding place.
He said: "Open the door, let's go in and take a look."
"yes!"
Chu Suiliang quickly waved his hand, and someone went over and pushed the door open.
After entering the gate, Shen Lian found that the courtyard had been cleaned very clean.
Not a trace of dust or weeds.
You can tell at a glance that this mansion has not been vacant for too long.
At least recently, it has been inhabited by people.
In this case, it is similar to what the dental practitioners said, and they can support each other.
Shen Lian continued to walk inside and entered the front of the house.
In front of you is a long row of houses, with several side rooms on the left and right. Including the woodshed, there are a total of ten rooms.
Not too much, but not too little either.
Moreover, this mansion is not a large courtyard with three entrances and exits, and the bottom can be seen at a glance, so the ten rooms already make it seem very crowded.
If it were a wealthy family, they would definitely disdain building it like this. It would be too embarrassing for their status.
But for ordinary families, this is very good. At least the family has a place to sleep.
When Chu Suiliang saw Shen Lian observing those rooms, he said, "The people in Yaxing said that their mansion is rented out in separate rooms."
"The person who rented before rented not the entire mansion, but only the three rooms in the west wing. The rest of the rooms were always locked. If it was in Yahang."
Shen Lian had already noticed that the door to the west wing was not locked, but the other two rows of houses were locked, and there was some dust on the locks. It could be seen that it had not been opened for some time.
Even if Chu Suiliang didn't say anything, he could still guess it.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Shen Lian did not delay and entered the woodshed first.
I saw that the woodshed was very tidy, with piles of chopped wood stacked there, looking well-proportioned.
There is a lot of rice in the rice vat, and the water in the water vat is also full.
Very full of life.
He looked around carefully, made sure there was nothing else useful, and then backed out.
Then we entered the bedroom, which was also very simple.
A couch, a table, a cabinet, and two stools.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
At this time, there is a teacup on the table and a teapot on the side.
The teacup and teapot are empty.
Abao said: "The drink was quite clean, not even a drop was left."
Shen Lian smiled and said nothing.
He got up and left the room, going to the last room.
It was a study room, but there were not many books in the study room, and some of the bookshelves were not full.
At this time, a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" was half-opened and placed on the desk.
The wind blew in from the door, causing the pages of the Analects to turn constantly, as if someone was turning the pages of the book there.
Chu Suiliang said: "This courtyard is like this. People in Yaxing said they saw people here this morning, but now there is no one."
"And this place is also full of life, so I guess this is probably where No. 1 hid before leaving."
Abao also nodded: "I think it's about the same. Someone obviously lives here, and Zhang He didn't find anyone leaving here, so it's only Beichen who has this ability, so Beichen should be hiding here."
When Shen Lian heard what the two said, he shook his head slightly.
As he walked out, he said: "Let's go, you all guessed wrong, this is just a cover."
"What?"
Chu Suiliang and Xu Gou were both startled.
Chu Suiliang said hurriedly: "Why does Commander Shen say this?"
Abao was also very puzzled.
Shen Lian said lightly: "Two aspects."
"First, from the courtyard and the woodshed, we can see that the people who live here are very clean, tidy, and organized. It can even be said that they have some obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"After all, being able to stack firewood so neatly shows that this person definitely doesn't like clutter."
"But what about the bedroom and study room?"
"On the table in the bedroom, the finished teacups and teapot were placed randomly without being put away. This is obviously the opposite of the situation in the woodshed."
"There are also books in the study. Normally, a book lover, after reading a book, should put the book back on the shelf instead of flipping it halfway and throwing it directly on the table."
"So, it's obvious that this is a deliberate attempt to create traces of human life."
"And the second..."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "The rice jars and water jars in the woodshed are full, and there are so many firewood. Obviously, they want to tell us that there are people making fires to cook there, and there are people living there. "
"But... there is something missing, which makes all the arrangements look extremely ridiculous."
Shen Lian walked out of the room and said in a sarcastic tone: "Charcoal ash."
"Carbon black?"
Abao and others were all shocked when they heard Shen Lian's words.
But soon, Chu Suiliang didn't know what he thought of. His eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Could it be that..."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
While letting Chu Suiliang lead the way to another place, he said: "How can a kitchen full of life not even have a little bit of carbon black?"
"We can say that people who live here tend to be clean, but no matter how clean they are, things like carbon dust cannot be wiped clean."
"this……"
Abao and others all looked ashamed.
Even Chu Suiliang looked a little ashamed.
How should they tell Shen Lian that they didn't even raise their heads to look at the rafters?
They were completely attracted by the neatly piled firewood and the filled rice and water jars.
I didn't notice this detail at all.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Shen Lian knew that they hadn't discovered anything.
He chuckled lightly, looked at Chu Suiliang, and said: "Mr. Chu, after this matter is over, I will officially recommend you to your Majesty as the Young Minister of Dali Temple. If nothing else, your Majesty will definitely approve it."
"So, your identity will be different from now on. You are my young minister of Dali Temple."
"As a young minister of Dali Temple, among other things, you need at least some ability to solve crimes and some sensitivity to details."
"Therefore, Mr. Chu also needs to work harder from now on. Mr. Chu has nothing to do, so he can study some of the files on past cases solved in Dali Temple."
When Chu Suiliang heard this, his old face couldn't help but blush.
He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Commander Shen. I will study it seriously and I will not let Commander Shen down."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
He was relatively assured of Chu Suiliang's ability.
After all, this is the strength of the prime minister.
As long as Chu Suiliang is willing, it won't be a problem to not only reach his own level, but at least surpass others.
Shen Lian didn't say anything more, just clicked and stopped.
Smart people don't need to talk too much about one thing.
If you say too much, it will be inappropriate.
In this way, everyone walked around for as long as half a stick of incense, and then stopped in a small circle.
Chu Suiliang said: "Commander Shen, the second place is here."
Shen Lian raised his head and looked.
Then I discovered that this place was actually an inn.
Moreover, this inn is very lively, with many people staying there.
At this time, because the place has been sealed by the government and no one is allowed to enter or exit, everyone in the inn is now trapped in the lobby on the first floor.
Looking over, there were at least twenty or thirty people there.
That's not all. There are some people who find it too noisy and rest in the room.
Seeing Shen Lian exploring the inn, Chu Suiliang introduced: "Half a month ago, a man came to this inn and rented a room on the second floor closest to the edge..."
"That room belongs to the upper room of the inn. It has a quiet environment and is some distance from other rooms, so it is very quiet."
"This morning, the waiter cooked a meal for the man who went to the room."
"But when we came over and sent people to investigate, we found that no one was in the room. I also asked the people in the inn, but they didn't have any clues. They didn't know when the person left."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
Said: "Let's go and have a look in that room."
With that said, he entered the inn.
The owner and waiter of the inn also rushed over to greet him.
The boss said very respectfully: "Commander Shen, if you have any questions, just ask them and we will tell you everything we know."
