Chapter 361: Strolling

When the conjecture is confirmed, it is not just a conjecture, but a very practical direction of investigation.

Ye Lan said hello to the mother and daughter, and then used the most standard housekeeping skills to climb out of the window!

He landed steadily on the ground, and people were coming and going in front of him, and he had returned to the street.

Then, Ye Lan was silent.

"..." Ye Lan.

Then what? What should I do now?

My investigation was so detailed and smooth, which fully proved my ability.

The harvest was also great. I was completely sure that these missing people were not taken away or disappeared, but chose to leave on their own initiative. This is a very significant breakthrough.

However... there is no clue to explain why he did this.

Ye Lan increasingly understood why many investigations that were obviously smooth ended in vain. Even if you are smooth throughout the process and solve a question, when you catch the next clue, it is very likely that there is nothing again.

So annoying!

Ye Lan couldn't help but think of the 'Four Talents'.

You are so useless!

Which villain camp relies on the boss to do all the work every day?

Ye Lan looked up and looked for surveillance.

Good news.

Yes.

Bad news.

Guanghui City has been without power for almost a week.

Ye Lan forced himself to calm down and looked at the map.

"I'm here now. I know that this matter is related to the Xu family. Even if I'm not going to the Xu Mansion, I have to move in this direction."

"A hundred meters ahead, there is a three-way intersection. One road passes through the market, and the other... um?"

"Brother!"

When Ye Lan was already a little calm, he heard a familiar shout.

So he raised his head.

"Wow! Brother! It's really you!" Li Zhixin waved in surprise behind the street on the right.

Ye Lan thought about it, walked over, and smiled sincerely.

Good! It's time to let the coolies play a role.

For some reason, Li Zhixin felt a chill when he saw Ye Lan's smile.

What does this mean?

"...Brother, why are you here?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but once he asked, Ye Lan just wanted to grind his teeth.

Isn't it because he can't count on you? Let you, the mastermind, do it yourself?

"I'm taking a walk."

Li Zhixin:...

Ye Lan couldn't get him to say anything.

"By the way, I thought about it." Ye Lan added casually, and then said: "What are you doing here again? Aren't you afraid of being assassinated?"

"I..." Li Zhixin instinctively wanted to retort, "I'm taking a walk too." But facing Ye Lan, he really couldn't be tough.

"I'm collecting intelligence. As for assassinations, I think it doesn't matter where I stay. Anyway, I can't deal with it, and I'm doomed to die." He asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Lan raised the corner of his mouth.

"Team power is very important, and there is strength in numbers."

"..." Li Zhixin always had a bad feeling, so she decided to take the initiative to bring out the tray to see if she could get this mysterious boss interested.

"I received intelligence that the head of the Xu family would go out for half an hour every night these few nights. He claimed to be... uh, strolling."

Ye Lan's mouth twitched, and he spent several seconds confirming whether he was being sarcastic with him.

"I don't know the specific location, and I can't find it out. I can only be sure that he won't go too far, so I came here to check it out."

Oh?

Ye Lan's eyebrows moved, and the familiar feeling of comfort came again.

He finally felt what he was missing, and why this investigation was so tiring.

This is not just a problem of not bringing a kitten or using the golden finger, but a problem of lacking a team.

For example, the most important thing is intelligence support.

When in Sewage Town, there were people like Xia Qingyu and Arthur, who rushed to provide him with intelligence every day. In the shadow of the past in Sewage Town, there were also the mayor, Amon, and so on.

In the Glory City stage, there was Bai Taotao in the early stage, and Lin Jiao, who was almost exhausted in the later stage. I had a steady stream of intelligence support everywhere.

I just needed to do an analysis and then operate.

This is the power of the team.

And this time, all the teammates I encountered in the Shadow of the Past were useless, so I had to act alone, which resulted in all the steps relying on myself.

Location investigation, intelligence collection, interpersonal communication, planning and arrangement, combat, action and stealth...

In less than a day, I was almost exhausted.

And now, when the four major families stood on my side, fresh intelligence rolled in, and I felt comfortable all of a sudden.

The results of my investigation just now are no longer meaningless. Combined with Li Zhixin's latest intelligence, everything has a clear direction again.

"Mark the approximate range for me."

"...Oh, okay."

As Li Zhixin marked the specific activities of the Xu family's patriarch on the map, Ye Lan immediately started to compare.

This direction is exactly the direction facing this residential building after climbing out of the window!

Ye Lan looked at the map, and his brows slightly wrinkled.

The area was still a bit too large, with a distance of three or four streets in both directions, and the alleys interspersed between the buildings were too numerous to count. It would be extremely troublesome to check them one by one.

"What do you mean, buddy?" Li Zhixin asked tentatively, full of consideration: "I see you seem a little tired, how about going to my Li Mansion to rest tonight?"

Ye Lan looked at the sky and was a little speechless.

Rest?

"Rest a fart!" Ye Lan rolled his eyes: "Tell your people not to rest tonight, be ready to stand by!"

Li Zhixin:?

"You don't need to continue investigating here, just leave it to me."

Li Zhixin:?

"Then be prepared, if I need it, your people should be ready to listen to my orders at any time."

Li Zhixin:? ?

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with Ye Lan's operation.

Why do you transfer my people?

Why should I stay up all night waiting for your orders?

But... he thought carefully and felt that he should be happy.

Ye Lan was going to take action himself!

Of course, the most important reason was... he couldn't beat him!

"Then... try to be faster, buddy!"

"?"

Ye Lan looked at him with a very cold look.

With your damn efficiency, you are still urging me?

"..." Li Zhixin was speechless for a moment, and quickly added: "Don't get me wrong! What I mean is, brother, you should rest when you need to, don't force yourself. This hurry up means to rest quickly, I have prepared a feast for you in the mansion!"

"Okay, don't get in the way, keep the intercom open."

"...Oh."

Li Zhixin turned around and left obediently, but couldn't help it, plucked up the courage, turned back and asked.

"Brother, who are you, can you tell me?"

Ye Lan smiled.

"Sure. How about I tell you who I am, and then leave Guanghui City immediately, and don't care about you?"

Li Zhixin was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if he understood something.

Anyway, Ye Lan didn't know what he understood, anyway, don't pester him, just keep talking.

"No, no! Don't tell me! Don't leave, brothers really can't do without you now!"

"..."Ye Lan hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

I really look more and more like the mastermind behind this, eh?
