Tianji said: "If this is the case, then you can be sure that Beichen will not turn all the puppets into old puppets. After all, a very important factor for him to control the puppets is that he needs to know what happened."
"But the new puppet has lost this function. Once something happens to the puppet, his eyes will be blackened, which is not in line with Beichen's cautious nature."
"It seems that Beichen will only use new puppets on special occasions."
Shen Lian nodded in agreement.
Tianji frowned and said, "But what's the use of this?"
"Even if we now know that Beichen is in Chang'an City, how can the millions of people in Chang'an City find him?"
Shen Lian moved his fingers gently and said, "Now Beichen doesn't know that I have guessed what he is going to do. Maybe this matter can be used."
Tianji looked at Shen Lian and asked, "How to use it?"
Shen Lian said: "I think we can change the purpose."
"The original purpose was to severely damage the Beidou Society and make Beichen's plan fail."
"But now, I think, we need to change our goals."
"It is natural to let Beichen's plan fail, but the second purpose... I hope that we can find the hiding place of Beichen's body. Even if we just take a look at Beichen's body from a distance, we can know who we are. Of the two, whoever’s judgment about Beichen is wrong, or in other words, both are wrong!”
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said, "We can't let Beichen hide so deeply anymore. It's time to get him out into the sun and bask in the sun."
Tianji listened to Shen Lian's words and leaned back. Like Shen Lian, she raised her head in contentment and looked at the dancing shadows of the trees above her head.
She said: "It depends on our luck, whether Beichen will use the old puppet or the new puppet."
Shen Lian said: "There is a 90% chance that it is the old puppet."
"As I said just now, the new puppet has no way of knowing what this puppet has experienced."
"Beichen's action, I think, is very important to him. After all, Beidou has failed too many times. He really needs a success to help him reverse the situation."
"In addition, he has set up so many disguises in the early stage, and a real action is worthy of his personal participation."
"And after what happened at Cuihua Mountain, I think Beichen must have felt the problem with the new puppet... If the new puppet is discovered by me and solved by me, then Beichen will have no idea what happened."
"In a direct confrontation with me, I don't believe Beichen can lose this opportunity to get to know me."
"Therefore, taking all factors into account, the probability that Beichen will use the old puppet is the highest."
When Tianji heard Shen Lian's analysis, she thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"So, it's probably an old puppet."
"And the distance he controls the old puppet is limited. A radius of ten miles is where he can hide."
Shen Lian said: "Also note that if Beichen wants to hide himself, he will never let himself hide too close. Otherwise, it will easily be affected by an accident. Therefore, within a radius of ten miles, it is relatively small. Near the edge.”
"I almost found him once. I found his hiding place ten miles away."
Tianji thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Wait for me."
With that said, she entered the room.
Not long after, Tianji came back with a picture scroll.
She took the tea cup away from the table and unfolded the scroll.
I saw that this was a map of Chang'an City.
Looking at the map, Tianji pointed to the Libu Yamen and said: "Official meetings are basically held in the Libu Yamen, this year too, right?"
Shen Lian nodded: "That's right, Changsun Wuji said, it's still the Libu Yamen."
Tianji took out a pen and said: "Then, with the Libu Yamen as the core, the area with a radius of ten miles is this area."
She quickly drew a circle.
Tianji looked at the circled part, squinted his eyes, and said, "Beichen will hide in this area, but it's not easy to find in this area."
Because the official office is located in the core area of Chang'an City.
Every inch of land around is valuable.
There are official residences.
There is the courtyard of the noble man.
There are lively restaurants.
There are cheerful brothels.
This area has everything and a lot of people.
Tianji frowned and said, "There are at least tens of thousands of people living here."
"It's not easy to find him among so many people."
Shen Lian was not surprised.
He said: "With Beichen's caution and cunning, it's hard to find someone who fits his personality."
"If we could tell where he was hiding at a glance, Beichen would no longer be Beichen."
Tianji thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's true."
"If it were easy to find his hiding place, I would suspect there was a trap."
She looked at Shen Lian and said, "How to find it? Or, where do you think Beichen will be hiding?"
Shen Lian did not rush to answer Tianji.
Instead, he scanned the map inch by inch.
He is thinking and considering.
Put yourself in Beichen's perspective.
Choose a place that is completely safe, where you can advance and retreat, and where you will never be caught if you want to escape.
So where will this place be?
How many places like this are there within a radius of ten miles?
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, his brain was like a CPU running at high speed.
It's spinning wildly.
suddenly.
Shen Lian's eyes suddenly fixed.
He said: "It is difficult to choose where Beichen will hide."
"But I think it's not difficult to eliminate Beichen's hiding place."
Tianji was stunned for a moment, but she was extremely smart and understood Shen Lian's meaning in an instant.
"Exclusion method?"
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Let's rule out some of it first and then talk about it."
Shen Lian and Tianji are both rare smart people in this world.
So when Shen Lian said it, Tianji immediately understood what Shen Lian meant.
With Beichen's level of cunning, it is very difficult to accurately find out where Beichen is hiding.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, it is not too difficult to rule out places where Beichen will never hide.
So, instead of doing the hardest thing, do the simplest thing.
The two looked at each other, and then started searching without any hesitation.
Shen Lian said directly: "With the official office as the center, all brothels within a radius of ten miles can be eliminated."
Tianji looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said: "If Beichen wants to control the old puppet, then he must devote himself wholeheartedly."
"So, in this situation, there's no way he's going to let anyone get close to him."
"And if he is in a brothel and doesn't find a girl to accompany him, that would be really weird."
"It will be very noticeable."
"But Beichen would never let a strange brothel girl be by his side at that critical moment."
"Therefore, brothels can be excluded."
Tianji nodded and said: "I agree."
After saying that, Tianji directly used a brush to make a cross in the area representing the brothel.
The Libu Yamen is located in a very luxurious area, so there are three brothels within a radius of ten miles.
These three brothels are also one of the places where the largest number of people gather in the entire Chang'an City.
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.
