Chapter 293 Deduction
"boom!"
Shen Hao slapped the table heavily, causing the teacup on the table to jump up and nearly fall to the ground, but was caught by Wang Jian, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and put it away.
"Where are people? Haven't there been any clues yet?"
"My lord, from Wuyang City as the center, in the past three days, no matter whether it is the official road, the side road or even some old deserted roads, I have sent people to search for it, and I have never seen Ma San and the others.
The teleportation circles in various places also did not find their traces.
I also asked people to check the registers of inns in various cities, but there was no relevant personnel information."
Shen Hao rubbed the center of his brows, he admitted that he was careless in handling this matter, he didn't think carefully, and let the other party take advantage of the loopholes, causing the current situation to suddenly become passive.
The original intention is to prepare to draw out the power behind Ma San to show more means, the more you show, the more likely it is to show its feet, it is hard to find if it is always hidden in the dark.
After forcing out the opponent's two points of "sufficient pills" and "ability to transport bulk supplies over long distances", what Shen Hao didn't expect was that the opponent would actually take out more than twenty storage bags, abandoning the routine Using the transportation method, he retracted the exposed half of the telltale feet at once, making Shen Hao's follow-up plan to follow the vines to follow the vines in an instant.
Now there is no trace of Ma San and the others, as if they have disappeared. This makes Shen Hao lose all his targets, but he is sure that Ma San and the others cannot hide in the mountains, because it is not logical at all. If Ma San just wants to hide to deceive people, it won't work at all. How long can you hide? After all, they wanted to send things to the south, so they just hid them? If everything hadn't been planned in advance, it would be impossible for Ma San to agree to receive the goods, let alone prepare more than 20 storage bags in advance.
Obviously planned.
But how did Ma San and the others arrange their transportation plans and routes? Why was it possible to avoid such a large-scale spy detection in Jingxi?
Seeing Shen Hao's distressed look, Wang Jian was also secretly anxious. This time, Ma San took away a full sixty-one carts of old grain, and this stuff was transported to the barbarian territory as an "enemy". Once this happened, it would definitely be a big stain on Shen Hao's resume. Even taking the person in charge of this line can't please him.
"My lord, why don't we play a game?"
"Huh, yes. You come first."
This is Shen Hao's habit when investigating cases, and Wang Jian also learned from him.
"The subordinates thought that first of all, the direction Ma Sansan left after completing the transaction with Zhang Lie was not the direction of Wuyang City Gate, so they should not take the teleportation circle immediately, but go elsewhere first."
Shen Hao nodded, motioning for Wang Jian to continue.
"However, combined with the reports from the spies on the official roads and side roads around Wuyang City, there was no trace of Ma Sansan. That means that they either did not take the official roads or side roads, or they covered their whereabouts so that they could not be detected.
I prefer that Ma Sansan covered up his whereabouts."
Shen Hao shook his head and interrupted: "It is impossible to cover up one's whereabouts. There are spies staring at important hubs with scouting plates, which are specially used to target cover-up methods, unless Ma Sansan dares to separate Otherwise, they would not be able to avoid the eyes of the spies."
Herein lies the crux.
Because of the existence of the detection magic plate, anyone with a high fluctuation of the magic weapon will be discovered, no matter how much cover is made by smashing the appearance. However, it is obviously impossible for the blind spots in the use of the detection method to appear on monks like Ma San and the like.
Going around can't explain the whereabouts of Ma Sansan.
Shen Hao stroked it again in his mind, but still found nothing.
And Wang Jian was about to scratch his hair bald, and he was also depressed and angry: "How did these three bastards run away under their noses? It can't be that they really ran south with their legs?"
Running from Wuyang City to the Wanli Bamboo Sea in the south on two legs? This is unlikely, right?
There was a flash in Shen Hao's mind, and he quickly stood up, turned his head and walked quickly to the left wall, looking at the map hanging on the wall.
The map is not military-level, but the general location and direction are there.
Shen Hao pointed to the location of Wuyang City with his hand, and then drew a straight line to the Wanli Bamboo Sea in the south. this way.
Using a lot of storage bags is definitely going to be light and fast. The teleportation circles have all been spies. Wait a minute!
When Shen Hao saw that his thoughts were about to go back to the previous deadlock, his eyes couldn't easily see the blank hub areas on the map. Every time he saw such hubs drawn as "woodlands" out of thin air, he would secretly fill in the place names one by one.
"Go, take my waist card and go to the case office to borrow the military-level map in the Jingxi area." Shen Hao pulled out the waist card and threw it to Wang Jian. The latter didn't dare to ask more questions, and ran out after taking it.
Not long after, Wang Jian came back with a sealed map, closed the door, and spread the map on Shen Hao's desk.
"Assume that after Ma San separated from Zhang Lie in the early morning of November 30th, he neither ran long distances on official roads or sidewalks, nor went to the city to teleport magic circles, nor did he foolishly want to spend half a year climbing mountains and mountains with his feet. If time goes to Wanli Bamboo Sea, how else can he go?"
Without waiting for Wang Jian to answer, Shen Hao marked a place name on the map: Shuangshi Town.
This is a place name that is not on the map on the wall of Shen Hao's office. It does not occupy a large area, and it is estimated to be about the same as the average Zhuangzi with a hundred or ten households. However, it is an important military transit town, from Jingxi to Jingbei. A military dispatch hub. This is what is commonly known as Bingzhen. The beach stone in the south is an enhanced version of this soldier town.
"Ma San and the others can still go here! There is a small military teleportation circle in Shuangshi Town, from here they can go directly to Tanshi, which is faster than the teleportation circles in other cities to the south."
"But my lord, this is impossible at all. The teleportation circle in Shuangshi Town, not to mention Ma San and the others, even if we go to Xuanqingwei, we need approval from the governor's office of the Jingxi Army. It is the territory of the frontier army, and the investigation is even stricter. If they go like this, will they not seek their own death?"
Shen Hao shook his head, his voice trembling slightly: "Do you still remember that Zhang Lie said that the two people in Ma Sandai felt familiar to him? He also said that it was like his previous temperament. Tell me what kind of temperament Zhang Lie had before?"
Wang Jian's face changed: "You mean?" He didn't dare to say anything later, and his voice trembled even more.
"Also, Zhang Lie observed that when Ma San received the goods, all the storage bags were of the same size. There were more than 20 storage bags of the same size. Do you think it looks like a standard?"
As soon as Shen Hao said this, Wang Jian quickly supported the back of the chair next to him, his legs were a little weak.
