"At that time, I thought that with Beichen's cunning and caution, he would probably give up the plan and escape quickly."
"This is Beichen's plan for a rainy day. A truly cunning fox will never leave any chance for himself to be in danger."
Listen to Shen Lian's analysis.
The snake was stunned for a while.
After a while.
He couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He sighed with emotion: "Xiaguan's brain can't keep up at all."
"At this moment, I just feel lucky."
"Fortunately, it is Lord Shen who is fighting against Beichen. If Xianguan met Beichen, he would probably be played to death by Beichen."
"This Beichen is really too cautious and too cunning."
"He actually made such an arrangement without knowing Master Shen's plan. His cunningness made me very moved."
Shen Lian smiled.
He said: "The cunning rabbit still knows the three caves, let alone an old fox."
"It is precisely because he is so cunning that I have put so much effort into making arrangements."
Sishe took a deep breath and said, "Master Shen, since that place is a cover-up set up by Beichen, then where is the real Beichen hiding?"
After listening to Si She's words, Shen Lian began to think in his heart.
Since Beichen arranged such a cover-up, it shows that Beichen is still worried about discovering Beichen's plan in advance.
In this case, Beichen must have made some preparations for his own place to live.
but……
On the contrary, Shen Lian felt that this was a good thing for him.
After all, it's better than looking for someone aimlessly in a huge crowd.
There are still targets with some abnormalities and reactions, which are easier to find.
Since Beichen was worried that he would discover him, he would definitely do something so that he would not be suspicious.
If this is the case, it means that Beichen will do something.
And as long as Beichen does something, it will definitely be different from usual.
This point is the most important to Shen Lian.
Don't worry, make some preparations.
I'm afraid you won't do anything.
Sometimes, a person's being too cautious will become the key to that person's exposure!
Shen Lian quickly looked at the map.
Look at the other three places marked by him.
The place where Beichen used to lay out the deception was one of the places where Tianji judged.
Now, there are three more places.
The one closest to the official office.
One is the farthest.
One is in a remote place, and the other is in a place with easy access to transportation.
If Beichen could really choose these three places, which one would he choose?
Shen Lian tapped the table with his fingertips and asked, "Any news from the other three places?"
Si She said: "Everything is rewarded."
"But they all said that no special abnormalities were found."
"These three places are pretty much the same as usual, with almost the same number of people coming and going, and I haven't seen anyone special."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
Nothing unusual as usual...
This is difficult to do.
There is no exception, which means there is no direction.
Shen Lian said: "What I want is not abnormality."
"But normal."
Shen Lian looked at Si She and said, "Send a message to them immediately and ask them if they have noticed anything more normal than usual."
"It's more normal than usual..."
Sishe was a little confused and said: "How to judge this?"
Shen Lian said: "That is to say, it can be the opposite of what you discovered before."
"Didn't you notice before that people from Beichen look inside the mansion from time to time?"
"Ask them to look for it and see if there is a place where no one who passes by looks at the mansion."
"Or, the flow of people remains exactly the same as the previous few days."
"Under normal circumstances, the flow of people changes, or it changes regularly. If the date is different and the weather is different, there should be differences in the flow of people passing by on the street."
"But is there a place where the flow of people remains exactly the same no matter what the day or weather changes?"
"If this is the case, there is obvious human control. Because they are afraid of being discovered to be abnormal, they deliberately appear to be very normal."
"But sometimes, being too normal can be the biggest abnormality."
Sishe immediately understood what Shen Lian meant.
He immediately said: "I'll take care of it now."
With that said, he immediately walked out of the room and ordered people to use flying pigeons to deliver letters.
In Chang'an City, the speed of flying pigeons to deliver messages is much faster than the speed of messengers.
Also, it's not easy to detect.
After the snake left.
Shen Lian glanced out the window.
There was still no too chaotic sound coming from the official office.
This means that Beichen hasn't really taken action yet.
Shen Lian didn't know what Beichen was waiting for.
But there is no doubt that his time is getting shorter and shorter.
Now it depends on whether Sishe can find the clue in time.
Shen Lian knew.
At this time, he was racing against time with Beichen.
Whoever can outperform the other party will have the advantage.
Let's see now, if Beichen takes action in advance, or Shen Lian can discover Beichen in advance.
And just then.
A shadow guard suddenly walked up. He bowed to Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, someone wants to see you."
"Someone wants to see me?"
Shen Lian's eyes flashed.
He is hiding here, and no one else knows except Si She and others.
But if it was the Shadow Guard and Si She, they would have come directly and would not let the Shadow Guard report to them.
Then who is coming?
Shen Lian asked: "Who wants to see me?"
Shadow Guard said: "He said his name is Tianji and he has something important to tell Mr. Shen."
"Tianji?"
When Shen Lian heard the shadow guard's words, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Why did Tianji come to see me at this time?
He didn't think there would be any problem if Tianji could find him.
But since Tianji can find herself.
This means that Tianji definitely knows what he is doing.
And in this case, Tianji came to find him.
Could it be...
Does he have any important news about Beichen?
Shen Lian immediately said: "Let Tianji come over."
Not long after, Tianji, wearing a bamboo hat, walked in.
Shen Lian glanced at the mysterious Tianji and said with a smile, "Why don't you show your face?"
"Anyway, your face is disguised. Why are you wearing a hat?"
Tianji said: "Beichen should know all the appearances I often disguise myself with, so just in case, it's better to be careful."
Shen Lian nodded and agreed: "That's true."
"Beichen is so cunning and insidious. You can never be too careful with him."
He looked at Tianji and said straight to the point, "You came to me at this time to help me?"
Tianji said: "I have some news to tell you."
"I think it might be useful to you."
As soon as Shen Lian's eyes flashed, he knew that Tianji must have important news.
He asked: "What news?"
Tianji said: "Although you said you don't need my help, I feel that at this time, maybe my people are better at dealing with Beichen's conspiracy than your people."
"After all, my people are used to fighting against Beichen and Beidou Society. They are like dogs' noses. As long as they are close to us, we can smell their stench."
"So, I also arranged for my people to conduct surveillance on the four locations we predicted before."
"Then my man told me something that was not surprising."
"It's not a strange thing..."
Shen Lian asked: "What's not weird?"
Tianji looked at Shen Lian and said in a deep voice: "He told me that there was a mansion where everything was so normal, so normal that he fell asleep."
"Too normal!?"
A sudden light flashed in Shen Lian's eyes.
If Si Snake were here, he would definitely be shocked.
After all, Shen Lian just said that if it was too normal, it would be abnormal.
result.
Tianji immediately found Shen Lian and told Shen Lian that his people had discovered something too normal!
Is this a coincidence?
In other words, it is the tacit understanding between Shen Lian and Tianji, two strangers!
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and asked directly without any greetings: "Which mansion is so normal?"
Tianji saw that Shen Lian didn't ask why she had to tell him normal things.
This made Tianji's heart suddenly move.
He understands.
Shen Lian already understood what he meant.
In other words, Shen Lian already knew it.
Tianji didn't hesitate at all. He came to the table, raised his hand, pointed to a mansion on the map, and said: "This mansion."
Shen Lian followed Tianji's fingers.
then.
They squinted their eyes.
I could only see the position pointed by Tianji.
It is one of the two mansions Shen Lian chose before.
It's the farthest from here.
A mansion next to the city wall.
It is only one street away from the city wall.
"This mansion?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
Tianji said: "My people discovered that the flow of people on the street in front of this mansion in the past few days is exactly the same."
"There's almost no difference."
"The numbers are pretty much fixed for those people."
…………
"And the time of appearance is almost fixed at those times."
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he said: "You mean... on the street next to that mansion, there will be a fixed number of people passing by at a fixed time every day."
"How many days in a row has it been like this?"
Tianji nodded: "That's right!"
This is almost exactly the same as the example Shen Lian gave Si She before.
Shen Lian asked: "Did they look towards that mansion?"
Tianji shook his head.
"No!"
"Not once?"
Tianji shook his head: "Not even once!"
"We are focusing on that mansion. If anyone pays special attention to that mansion, there is no way we will not notice it."
Shen Lian slowly exhaled.
He looked at Tianji and said, "As expected, it's this mansion!"
"Beichen, the greatest possibility is hidden here!"
With that said, Shen Lian walked directly out: "I have to rush over."
Tianji saw this and said, "I'll go too."
Shen Lian quickly went downstairs.
As soon as I arrived on the first floor, I saw Si She arranging shadow guards.
Shen Lian immediately said: "Sishe, take someone with you and follow me."
When Sishe heard this, she hurriedly said: "What do you mean, sir?"
Shen Lian said: "We can almost determine Beichen's hiding place."
Hearing this, Sishe said directly without any hesitation: "Twenty percent of the people will stay to deal with emergencies in the official department, and the rest will go with me."
With that said, he quickly followed out.
The horses are ready outside.
Shen Lian got on his horse and Tianji followed.
He came quickly when he came, so he didn't need Shen Lian to take him.
After riding on the horse, Shen Lian left quickly.
On the way, Shen Lian said: "This time, you are more efficient than my people. Regardless of whether I can find Beichen or not, I will accept this favor."
Tianji smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite to you. Your Shen Lian's favor is ten thousand times more valuable than other people's favor."
"I really can't bear to shirk it."
Shen Lian smiled: "If you need my help with anything in the future, just say it directly. It's a simple matter. No need to be favourable. I'll help you as a friend."
"But if it's something difficult, or something that may make me a little embarrassed, then I need a favor."
"After all, I have to find a suitable reason to persuade me to take risks for you."
Tianji said speechlessly: "You don't have to say it so bluntly, it doesn't sound pleasant to the ear."
Shen Lian laughed: "I'm not afraid that you are too smart and will have random thoughts."
Shen Lian said: "After all, the smarter a person is, the more he can figure things out, and the easier it is for him to get into trouble."
Tianji rolled his eyes: "I have never been polite to you."
Si She said at this time: "Master Shen, our flying pigeon has returned from delivering a message."
"The content of the report is the same as the place we are going to."
Shen Lian nodded.
Although his people were a little slow, it was fortunate that they didn't know it until they arrived.
However, this incident also reminded Shen Lian.
His people are all too upright.
People in Tianji all walk in darkness.
It is easy for them to think about problems from the perspective of a thief.
Therefore, just like this time, Tianji discovered Beichen's deception at a glance.
And his own people are definitely not inferior to Tianji's men in elite level.
However, they all came out by taking the right path.
In other words, they can do something very seriously and responsibly.
They can work very hard to catch the thief.
However, it is difficult for them to empathize with the thief and to think from the thief's perspective.
This resulted in, just like this time, they were deceived by Beichen and did not discover Beichen's real secret.
This incident gave Shen Lian a wake-up call.
Shen Lian decided that after this incident is over, these shadow guards must be properly trained.
From now on, these Shadow Guards will be his main force against the Beidou Society.
This time they were behind, no big deal.
But next time, Shen Lian will not allow them to fall behind again.
After all, one cannot fall twice in the same place.
Shen Lian can't afford to lose this person...
As one of his subordinates, if he fell down twice in one place, the one who would be hit would be his face.
In this way, everyone rode fast horses through the alley and took a shortcut.
