Chapter 24: Carpet Search
Yan Junli hung up the phone and turned his head to Yang Wenbin.
"Wen Bin, Li Hong called just now and said it was ......"
Before Yan Junli finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Wenbin, "I'll talk about it later, I just sorted out all the possible locations where the videotapes are hidden." You see. β
Saying that, Yang Wenbin handed over a dense form.
ββ¦β¦ How many locations are there? Yan Junli was dumbfounded.
"One hundred and twenty-three." Yang Wenbin said affirmatively.
"Whatββ? Are you kidding, how do we find out? Yan Junli complained.
"Take it easy, at least there aren't many locations in City A, only ...... Twenty-three only. Yang Wenbin said innocently.
Yan Junli sighed and put the form on the table, "Wen Bin, although I really fully support your investigation, but this is not a solution, do we have to run all the hundred and twenty-three places you listed?" Even if we can do it, by the time it's done, the sand eagle and the clown will probably turn the world upside down. β
"Okay, then you tell me." Yang Wenbin spread his hands, "Is there any better way for you to do it in this situation?" β
Yan Junli opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
"No, right? We'll have to try my way for now. Yang Wenbin stood up, picked up the coat on the hanger and threw it to Yan Junli, "Maybe we'll be lucky?" β
But often, the reality is very different from the beautiful imagination.

"Auntie, do you know anyone who has been here lately?"
In front of the abandoned building sat an old woman knitting sweaters, who was concentrating on the work at hand and did not hear Yang Wenbin's questioning at all.
"Auntie?" Yang Wenbin asked patiently again, "Do you know who has been here recently?" β
"Huh?" The old grandmother seemed to be able to hear it, and raised her head, "The meat bun I ate in the morning!" β
"No, I'm asking if you know anyone who has been here lately!" Yang Wenbin asked loudly.
The old grandmother finally heard it clearly this time, and shook her head vigorously, "Who is doing anything in this place, there is usually Lao Zhang and Lao Li coming over to play mahjong." β
Yang Wenbin unwillingly took out another videotape photo to show his grandmother, "Have you ever seen this?" β
The old grandmother helped her reading glasses, "I've seen it, why haven't I seen it." β
As soon as Yang Wenbin was a little excited, he listened to the grandmother continue, "I have a lot of videotapes at home, and I still have the Titanic." β
Yang Wenbin sighed, exchanged disappointed glances with Yan Junli, and left the ruins of the building.
"Look, I'll just say it's not going to work."
"But that building is already the most likely place." Yang Wenbin said irritably, "I have investigated, that building is the place where the person named Qian Zimo was killed, after the East Window incident, the A city government inexplicably demolished this building, and it has been abandoned here." β
"But it's obvious that Xia Baiyan didn't hide the sixth videotape here." Yan Junli spread his hands.
"It's okay, I have other guesses-" Yang Wenbin turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Yan Junli.
"Wait, wait, are you really going to do such a carpet search? Do you think this trick will work? Yan Junli said, "Or, do you think that for Xia Baiyan, he might let us find the tape in this way?" β
Yang Wenbin lost his temper by Yan Junli's words, and stood in place a little dejected, "Then what else can we do?" β
Yan Junli thought for a moment and said seriously, "If we want to find what Xia Baiyan is hiding, then we have to think like Xia Baiyan." β
Yang Wenbin smiled bitterly, "Ha, it's quite simple. How can we think like that neuropath? He doesn't play his cards according to any common sense, and I don't even dare to speculate about him with any human reason, who knows what he's thinking. β
"That's right." Yan Junli clapped his hands, "You also said that he won't play cards according to common sense, so why don't we think about it, where is the most unlikely place?" β
Yang Wenbin stood and frowned and thought about it, but they didn't even think of any possibility when their legs were sore.
"Forget it, let's not stand here in the sun. Let's go back first. Yan Junli sighed, and Yang Wenbin had no choice but to agree.
Towards evening, Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli finally entered the door. There was still no one in the house, the poppy had been missing for a few days, and Zhou Mu, who was obviously his villa, was still nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't until almost eight o'clock in the evening that Zhou Mu belatedly walked in the door.
"Just coming back?" Yan Junli glanced at him.
"yes, being a lawyer isn't that easy to mess with." Zhou Mu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took off his blazer and threw it on the sofa, "There is a difficult customer who has made me work overtime until now." β
"Really? I don't think so. Yan Junli stood up and walked in front of Zhou Mu, his eyes narrowed with a hint of suspicion, "Wen Bin and I went out today, and on the way, I met the customer you were receiving recently, and I talked to him about you." Guess what he said? He said he hadn't contacted you for a day today. β
"Oh, really?" Zhou Mu was not frightened by Yan Junli, but asked casually, "Which customer, what is it?" β
"Wang Xinghua." Yan Junli accurately reported the customer's name.
"Oh, that man. Yes, he is my client now, but I'm not talking about him, it's someone else. Zhou Mu lazily cocked Erlang's legs and handed Yan Junli a detailed document of the case, "If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, I helped this person run the case for a whole day today, and there is his phone number on it, you can ask him where I have been all day." β
Yan Junli rolled his eyes and threw the document back to Zhou Mu in the air, "Forget it, I don't care where you went." β
"That's for the best." Zhou Mu stuck his head out from the other end of the sofa and looked at Yang Wenbin, who had not spoken, "Speaking of which, you two went out today, what are you doing?" I thought the couple case was nothing to do with you. β
ββ¦β¦ We're looking for clues to the tape. Yan Junli glanced at Yang Wenbin, the other party nodded, and he told Zhou Mu all about the videotape.
"So, you're saying that those tapes aren't all tapes? And a volume that was hidden by the clown? Zhou Mu touched his chin and asked.
