Chapter 352: Details Determine Success or Failure

The eldest grandson recalled that his decision to go to Tianjiao City at that time was indeed a bit hasty.

Without conducting a detailed investigation of Tianjiao City, he went alone with an address that he didn't know whether it was true or false, which was quite inconsistent with the cautious style that the eldest grandson had always had.

"If I hadn't met Senior Brother Feng Tianxiao at that time, maybe that trip would have been in vain......

"It should be said that when I met Senior Brother Feng Tianxiao by chance, it was also the game you laid out for me in advance."

The eldest grandson looked at Liu Bowen, who just smiled and tasted tea and did not respond.

The eldest grandson's words are not a question, but almost certain.

did not get a response from Liu Bowen, and the eldest grandson did not continue to ask, but continued: "With Feng Tianxiao as a guide, I successfully found Fan Yuantao's old house, and then I was "lucky" to find Fan Yuantao's notes."

Liu Bowen interrupted loudly: "I really didn't know about Fan Yuantao's notes before, it's indeed luck that you can find his notes......

"That notebook almost cost me ...... whole game."

The eldest grandson nodded, and Fan Yuantao's notes revealed a lot of information, the most crucial of which was the "he" who showed him the way in the dark.

"But unfortunately, for some reason, Fan Yuantao did not specify 'his' identity in his diary."

The eldest grandson took Liu Bowen's words and said.

But Changsun was a little curious, so he asked, "If I guessed correctly, your plan at that time was to let Feng Tianxiao be a guide to guide me to Fan Yuantao's old mansion, and then find the traces of the man in black by "chance"?"

"That man in black is Li Xinming?"

Liu Bowen did not speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

The eldest grandson continued, "If the diary reveals 'he' at the end, how do you continue your game? Let Feng Tianxiao kill me?"

Liu Bowen looked at the eldest grandson with a smile, and his appearance was not like looking at the chess pieces in his own chess game, but like looking at the chess players playing against him.

"Eldest grandson, you must understand that the biggest difference between playing against others and talking with your own hands is that each chess piece has many variables. Even the most brilliant chess players have moments when they "have a plan", not to mention how limited the chessboard is, and how big the world is...... As a layout, there are no variables in the world, and it is enough to grasp the "general trend".

Liu Bowen's words are very informative, and the eldest grandson can't fully comprehend them, but he can understand the general idea.

With the character of the eldest grandson, even if the identity of "him" is pointed out in the diary, the eldest grandson will definitely go to the Heavenly Secret Realm to find out, and everything that happens after that must be in his layout.

This is what Liu Bowen calls the "general trend".

Liu Bowen then asked, "When did you start doubting me? Is it after the dream is over, after Yun Xuezhi and Wu Dakui tell you?"

The eldest grandson tried his best to keep his heart calm when discussing with Liu Bowen, but when Liu Bowen mentioned Yun Xuezhi and Wu Dakui, there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"After the dream ends...... Dean Wu and Dean Yun were on the verge of extinction...... Didn't leave me any information......

After a moment of silence, the eldest grandson put away his sadness and regained his composure.

"After escaping from the secret realm, I reviewed the whole game and found that I was still negligent......

"Since we all believe that Fan Yuantao had an accomplice in the No. 1 mine incident at that time, it is very likely that this accomplice was in the No. 1 mine at that time. However, I neglected to investigate the registration of personnel at Mine 1 at the time of the incident......

"Until I remembered that Fan Yuantao's diary repeatedly mentioned that "he" was a member of the college's working group, and the first time the two met was the time for the academy to send a working group......

"So I repeatedly looked through the list of teams sent by the academy in those years, and coincidentally, a team from the academy arrived at the time of the accident at mine 1...... Then I checked out the suspicious people one by one......

"Did you catch anything?"

Liu Bowen didn't panic at all, but asked softly.

The eldest grandson shook his head, "Not only did I not gain anything, but I also came to a fork in the road, and the investigation could not be carried out for a while."

Liu Bowen does not seem surprised by this.

"But when I found out from the faculty the list of the school teachers at the time of the accident at Mine 1...... I found you, and you've gone to Blazing City......

"I was very surprised, and I took out the No. 1 mine personnel registration list I found earlier, and found that you were not among them......

"But coincidentally, the same person who provided me with the list of business trips from the Teaching Office at the time was the same person who processed your business trip application. He clearly remembered that you also went to Mine 1......

"It took me some effort to get to the bottom of it, but I got the results in the end."

"So you were at Mine 1 with the working group...... At the same time, I figured out why you weren't on the list every time......

I don't know if the eldest grandson is tired, or if the next words are too important. The eldest grandson actually stopped at the critical moment, picked up the teacup and drank it.

At this time, Liu Bowen took over directly and said the reason himself.

"Because I follow the working group, what I do is to sort out the paperwork of the inspection report, and one of the tasks is the registration of personnel......

"So you can remove yourself from the list every time and make yourself a transparent person!"

The eldest grandson followed the heat of the tea and spit out his exclamation.

From these reasoning, it can be seen that what Liu Bowen did had already begun to plan a long time ago.

Liu Bowen's eyes revealed a high recognition of the eldest grandson's meticulous thinking and meticulous investigation ability.

The eldest grandson was surprised that Liu Bowen was able to remain calm so far, and even directly "took the initiative to admit it" at a critical moment.

Liu Bowen leaned back on the back of the seat, and said in an unhurried tone: "However, these alone still can't prove that I am behind all this."

The eldest grandson nodded, what he just said could only prove two things.

First, the "he" in Fan Yuantao's diary is very likely to be Liu Bowen.

Second, Liu Bowen is likely to be Fan Yuantao's accomplice in the No. 1 mine incident.

But Liu Bowen is only suspicious of the above two points.

The key to the incident in the No. 1 mine is the remnant spirit weapon, the spirit space. And the complexity of this spiritual object space is beyond even the reach of Dean Wu, let alone Liu Bowen, who is just an elder of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

The eldest grandson stood up, walked to Liu Bowen's desk, took out the "General History of Kyushu" from the stack of books on his right hand, and slowly opened it.

"In the calendar of the Tang Dynasty, in the twenty-second year of Yaozong, there was civil strife (details unknown) when the royal family held an autumn hunt, and the Tang prince was punished for improper handling and poor escort during the civil strife. Afterwards, Tang Wang Ye visited the Southern Regions in the name of King Zhennan...... But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Tang Wang Ye was exiled to the Southern Regions and became a hostage of the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Regions...... The eldest princess also escaped into the empty gate after the autumn hunt, and lived in Qu'an Temple and was not born......

The eldest grandson put the open "General History of Kyushu" in front of Liu Bowen, and this page recorded the "Autumn Hunting Rebellion" in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"The world doesn't know what happened in the Autumn Hunting Rebellion at that time, only that after that, the Tang prince left, the eldest princess disappeared, and even the national teacher disappeared...... But I think the erudite Elder Liu should have known what was going on......

What the eldest grandson stated was part of the follow-up to the autumn hunting game he had experienced in his dream.

At this time, Liu Bowen's expression was solemn for the first time.

"How did you suspect me? What did the green dragon tell you?"

The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "Senior Qinglong doesn't know your identity either. He only told me that if I wanted to trap Dean Wu and Dean Yun in the dream realm, then this person must have an intersection with Dean Wu and the others, and the third dream I entered was this person's body......

Immediately after that, the eldest grandson suddenly said something unrelated.

"Speaking of which, it is still Tang Xiaoyi's credit that Elder Liu and I were able to get acquainted......

"Xiaoyi once told me that Tang Wang Ye would often go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to talk to Elder Liu, and you have also become an enlightenment mentor in the Xiaoyi formation."

"Tang Yuyan also told me that when Tang Wang Ye was exiled to the Southern Regions, there were no guards along the way, and only Dean Wu and ...... were accompanying them."

"Elder Liu, you!"

When the eldest grandson said this, Liu Bowen not only lost his previous solemnity, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

He didn't expect the eldest grandson to be able to put together so many clues and thus suspect himself, some of which were even just a few unintentional words of the people at that time were actually written down by the eldest grandson.

However, what made him even more unexpected was that the eldest grandson's reasoning was not finished.

"These were my suspicions when I entered your room, and it wasn't until just now that I was clearly sure that you were the murderer!"

"Oh?"

"In the third dream I entered your body, and although you deleted your own will, some of your body's habits remained. For example......"

"You can write with both your left and right hands. As you did just now, when you write carefully, I hand you tea, and you will naturally hand the pen to your left hand, and you will write with your left hand and the article will continue to ......."

It was that moment just now that made the eldest grandson confirm that Liu Bowen was the "he" in the third dream.

In the third dream, the eldest grandson also experienced that moment.

At that time, he reasoned with Yun Xuezhi and others about Tang Huai'an's case, and Chen Tian, who was serving on the side, handed over a cup of tea while writing the case.

The eldest grandson's reaction at that time was exactly the same as Liu Bowen's.

Now it seems that it is not that the eldest grandson has become a double-hander, but that the eldest grandson has "inherited" some instincts in Liu Bowen's body.

The eldest grandson's reasoning has to be said to be wonderful, and even a shrewd layout veteran like Liu Bowen can't help but praise the case.

"After so many years of layout, I didn't expect to lose in the end on these details......

Liu Bowen shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"In my hometown, call this ......"

"The devil is in the details."
