Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"Have you found Beichen's hiding place?"

Chu Suiliang suddenly felt tremendous pressure from Qin Wenyuan.

This startled him a little, and he said, "My Lord Qin, I am still a little late. I brought General Xue and the others here and asked them to be ready to support you at any time. Then I thought about blocking Beichen, maybe I can catch him in one go."

"But what's happening here is faster than what I can do."

"General Xue acted very quickly, causing Beichen to immediately realize that he had failed. Then Beichen made a prompt decision and left without any hesitation."

"Therefore, I sent people to search, but I only found some rooms that were originally occupied but later became empty."

"We didn't catch Beichen, and..."

He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "I am not sure where Beichen is hiding."

Qin Wenyuan was not too surprised.

He said: "Beichen is a very sinister and cunning person. He must have some other preparations. Even if Rengui and the others don't take action, if he finds out that you are looking for him, he will immediately run away."

"He was able to become the leader of the mysterious Beidou Society, and nothing happened for so many years. He must have some ability."

"So, Mr. Chu doesn't have to worry too much. This is not Mr. Chu's problem."

Chu Suiliang knew that Qin Wenyuan was trying to comfort him and could only sigh.

Qin Wenyuan chuckled and asked, "According to what Mr. Chu just said, you must have found more than one suspicious place, right?"

Chu Suiliang nodded quickly and said, "There are five in total."

"I ordered the search to be conducted based on the conditions that there were people there before, but suddenly no one is there, or there has never been anyone there."

"Because Chang'an City is densely populated, an area of ​​ten miles in radius is not too large, so there are really not many places that meet the requirements."

"It was easy for me to find five places."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly: "Five places, it's not too many."

Every inch of land in Chang'an City is worth a lot of money.

The post station is not a remote place.

It is located in the prosperous area of ​​Chang'an City, so there are empty houses, but there are very few uninhabited places.

And if there was someone there before but suddenly there is no one there, it is easy to investigate.

The best case scenario is that they rent a house, or simply live in an inn, and you can find out anyway.

He thought about it and looked back in the direction of Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin was trying to bribe the envoys from small countries and chatting with them.

After thinking about it, he directly told Fang Xuanling that he was going out for a while and asked Fang Xuanling to take care of things here.

Then he took Chu Suiliang and others away.

As soon as he walked out of the post station gate, Chu Suiliang said, "I will take you to the nearest place from here."

But Qin Wenyuan shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, we can still reduce the number."

"what?"

Chu Suiliang was slightly startled.

Then Qin Wenyuan suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Why don't you show up?"

Just when Chu Suiliang didn't know who Qin Wenyuan was talking to, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Zhang He, the heir of the thief family, bowed to Qin Wenyuan and said, "Greetings, Mr. Qin."

"How?" Qin Wenyuan went straight to the point.

Zhang He smiled and said, "Two men in black just ran away. They were very fast, but not as fast as me. I blocked them."

"It has been confirmed that they are ordinary members of the Beidou Society. Their mission this time is that if something unexpected happens, they must escape and draw attention to Beichen's departure."

Chu Suiliang was stunned. This was something he was completely unaware of.

"Two men in black, so they left from two places?" Qin Wenyuan asked.

Zhang He nodded and named two locations.

Chu Suiliang was overjoyed immediately, 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 there are only three places left."

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan, his face full of admiration: "It turns out that Lord Qin had already calculated Beichen and had made preparations long ago."

"You were able to eliminate two locations easily. Now there are only three locations left. I admire you very much! I admire you immensely!"

Chu Suiliang truly had great respect for Qin Wenyuan.

He didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan, after fighting wits and courage with Beichen in the post station, could still spare some time to deal with the real Beichen outside the post station!

This tremendous thinking ability and terrifying overall view made Chu Suiliang admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The smarter a person is, the more they understand how difficult it is for Qin Wenyuan to achieve this.

But Qin Wenyuan didn't think there was anything wrong.

For him, this kind of thing is really not that simple.

He looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "In this case, there are only three locations. Mr. Chu, lead the way and 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 Qin Wenyuan, he would be able to find it.

Qin Wenyuan was also quite excited and excited at this moment.

After all, he had been unable to find Beichen's whereabouts before.

This time, taking advantage of the fact that all the bangs came to Tang, Qin Wenyuan directly used this incident to set up a trap for Number One.

He knew that Beichen attached so much importance to this matter that he would definitely come in person.

He also knew that Beichen could control the puppet within ten miles.

Therefore, Beichen will only hide in this range.

But he was worried that if he made preparations in advance, it would alert Beichen, and Beichen might not even come.

In this case, he would once again miss the opportunity to catch Beichen's flaws.

Therefore, he simply only filmed Zhang He, the heir of the thief family, and observed secretly with his powerful speed and hiding skills.

See if you can find Beichen’s hiding place!
It 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 Qin Wenyuan didn't want to capture Beichen directly.

All he wanted was to find Beichen's hiding place!
He had never had direct contact with Beichen before, so he couldn't make any direct inferences about Beichen.

Some speculations are also based on the testimonies of other members of the Beidou Society.

But the Beichen those people know may not be the real Beichen.

Beichen’s skills have been passed down from generation to generation, so his abilities are definitely not weak.

Therefore, it is not impossible to show a false face.

Not to mention that Beichen also knows the art of puppetry. Maybe the Beichen those guys saw was a puppet.

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan needs a direct opportunity to find clues about Beichen!

And this time, it's his chance!

In his previous life, he had heard a famous saying in the detective industry: that is...anything that passes by will definitely leave traces!

He forgot what the specific words were, but that was the meaning.

He has always believed in this sentence!
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!
There is nothing absolutely perfect in this world!
There is no such thing as being able to perfectly eliminate clues of evidence.

and so……

As long as he can find where Beichen is hiding, he will definitely find clues about Beichen!
Even though Beichen is cautious and cunning like a fox.

But this time, he fled in a complete hurry.

He never thought that he would have so many backup plans!
So, Beichen, this time, I absolutely will not do the finishing work perfectly!

And all of this is Qin Wenyuan's opportunity!
This is his first chance to truly find clues about Beichen!
"Master Qin."

At this time, Chu Suiliang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

He stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard, pointed to the house with a closed door opposite, and said, "This is one of the three locations!"

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyes and looked.

I found that this was a very ordinary courtyard, surrounded by high walls. The area was not very large, but in Chang'an City where every inch of land is valuable, it was not cheap.

Chu Suiliang said: "This place has been rented out by a pawnbroker. According to the pawnbroker, the person who rented the house is a man in his 50s. This morning, the pawnbroker came to collect this month's rent, and there were still people there at that time."

"But just now, we sent someone to knock on the door and investigate, but found that there was no one inside."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly as he inquired about the mansion.

From the outside, the mansion is unremarkable.

Although it is a house located in a prosperous area, its decoration and area are very different from those of other rich and noble mansions.

Therefore, in comparison, this house seems even more inconspicuous.

If it is inconspicuous, it will not attract too much attention.

It's a very suitable hiding place.

He said, "Open the door, let's go in and take a look."

"Yes!"

Chu Suiliang waved his hand quickly, and someone came over and pushed the door open.

After entering the gate, Qin Wenyuan found that the courtyard was very clean.

There is not a speck of dust or weeds.

It is obvious at first glance that this mansion has not been vacant for too long.

At least recently, it was inhabited.

In this case, it is similar to what the people in the dental clinic said, and they can support each other.

Qin Wenyuan continued to walk inside and entered the front of the house.

In front of me is a long row of houses, with several side rooms on the left and right, including the woodshed, 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 that can be seen to the bottom at a glance, so the ten rooms already make it look very crowded.

If they were a wealthy family, they would definitely not bother to build it like this, as it would be too embarrassing.

But for ordinary families, this is pretty good, at least the whole family has a place to sleep.

Chu Suiliang saw Qin Wenyuan observing those rooms, so he said, "The people in the dental office said that their mansion is rented out in rooms."

"The previous tenant didn't rent the entire mansion, but only the three rooms in the west wing. The rest of the rooms have been locked. If it were at the pawnshop."

Qin Wenyuan had noticed that the doors of the west wing were not locked, while the doors of the other two rows of houses were locked, and there was some dust on the locks, which showed that they had not been opened for some time.

Even if Chu Suiliang didn't say it, he could guess it.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Qin Wenyuan did not delay and went into the woodshed first.

The woodshed was very tidy, with a pile of chopped wood stacked there in an orderly manner.

The rice jar is filled with a lot of rice, and the water jar is also full.

Very full of the breath of life.

He looked around carefully, made sure there was nothing else useful, and then retreated.

Then I 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 was a teacup on the table and a teapot on the side.

The cups and teapot were empty.

The dog said: "He drank it all, not a drop was left."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said nothing.

He stood up and left the room, going to the last room.

It was a study, but there were not many books in the study, and some of the bookshelves were not full.

At this moment, on the desk, a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" was half opened.

The wind blew in from the door, causing the pages of the Analects to flip continuously, as if someone was flipping through the pages.

Chu Suiliang said: "This courtyard is like this. The people from the dental shop said that they saw someone here this morning, but now there is no one."

"This place is full of life, so I guess this is probably where No. 1 hid before he left."

Xu Gou also nodded: "I think so too. It is obvious that someone lives here, and Zhang He didn't find anyone leaving here. Only Beichen has this ability. So Beichen should be hiding here."

When Qin Wenyuan 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 stunned.

Chu Suiliang hurriedly asked, "Why did Lord Qin say that?"

Xu Gou was also puzzled.

Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Two aspects."

"First, from the courtyard and the woodshed, we can see that the people who live here are very clean and tidy, very organized, and even have some obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"After all, the fact that he can stack the firewood so neatly shows that he definitely doesn't like clutter."

"But what about the bedroom and study?"

"On the table in the bedroom, the empty teacups and teapots were left there randomly, not put away properly, which was obviously the opposite of the situation in the woodshed."

"As for the books in the study, a normal book lover should put the book back on the shelf after reading it, instead of just throwing it on the table halfway through."

"So, it's obvious that this is a deliberate attempt to create signs of human life."

"And the second..."

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "The rice and water jars in the firewood room are full, and there is so much firewood. It's obvious that they want to tell us that someone is making a fire and cooking there, and someone is living there."

"But... there's something missing there, which makes the entire arrangement seem extremely ridiculous."
