"Iron bull, you have to say, is there a master strong man sneaking into Heyang and hijacking Gu Haoran?"


    On the way to Zuixian building, Jiang Fan asked.


    The iron bull thought for a moment and hesitated: "can you only understand it like this? If it''s not a strong master, why can''t even seven uncles find any clues? Moreover, this has been basically proved by investigating the names provided by the beggars these days."


    "Those who went to zuixianlou that night didn''t seem to have time to commit a crime. Besides, even if they had time to commit a crime, if they did it, uncle Qi couldn''t find any clues."


    Jiang Fan smiled and said, "in fact, you are arranged to find the beggars near Zuixian building and trace them through the information they provide. This is not to find the possible hijackers."


    "I just hope that in this way, you can get familiar with and learn in advance how to use those beggars to sort out, collect and follow-up investigation the corresponding espionage."


    The iron bull was surprised and said, "isn''t that equal to... We''re wasting time?"


    "No, as long as you can adapt and learn how to collect and sort out espionage, extract useful information through a large number of espionage, analyze it, and then draw a conclusion, then my expectations for the beggars'' sect can be realized."


    Jiang Fan shook his head and then said, "as for Gu Haoran''s case... I''m afraid we went into a misunderstanding at the beginning. Once we go in the wrong direction, no matter how hard we try, we will only be farther and farther away from the truth. Therefore, as long as you can learn something from this case, it''s not a waste of time."


    "Into a misunderstanding? Young master... What do you mean?"


    The iron bull asked vaguely.


    "That''s what I asked you just now. Do you think it''s the strong master who hijacked Gu Haoran? Everything happens for a reason. Any case also has its underlying motivation. How can Gu Haoran attract the strong master?"


    Jiang Fan smiled and continued, "what is a master? The Great Khan of the golden tent, the absolute leader of 100000 mountains, the Grand Marshal of the world army and horses of the great Zhou Dynasty, and such figures as the seventh uncle. Can you imagine why the seventh uncle would suddenly run to rob Gu Haoran?"


    The iron bull thought seriously, then shook his head decisively and said, "unless someone threatens the continuation of our Lin family, the seventh uncle should be too lazy to move."


    "Yes, that''s the truth. Before, you arranged several clansmen to find clues. They said that they were likely to do it and reached the level of nine grades. At that time, I thought it strange. Why did the nine grades strong start on Gu Haoran?"


    "Don''t mention Gu Haoran. Even if Gu Yan is the guard of Heyang City, he is unlikely to attract the attention of the top nine. Therefore, after the seventh uncle went there in person and raised the suspicious target to a higher level, I knew that this matter... We thought bad at the beginning."


    Jiang Fan took a deep breath and then said, "iron bull, I ask you, what do you rely on to find traces when looking for clues? Is it the fluctuation of Qi?"


    "Yes, martial artists almost have to use the Qi in their body when they start. However, any use of Qi will inevitably leave traces. No matter how clever martial artists are, they can''t completely remove the overflowing Qi. They just can dilute it as much as possible."


    "If you want to dilute it to a level that the seventh uncle can''t even notice, even if almost a day has passed, the residue of Qi has dissipated a lot, but at least you have to reach the master level. With the ability of the seventh uncle, the breath under the master can''t escape his eyes in three days."


    The iron bull nodded.


    "What if it was the hands of ordinary people? Can you still find it?"


    Jiang Fan continued.


    "The hands of ordinary people? Naturally, I can''t find them... Although there will be traces left when ordinary people start to do it, those traces belong to surface traces, which are very easy to be damaged by various environments, far from being as vivid as breath residues."


    "As long as you wait a little longer, all the traces will become very messy and it is almost impossible to draw any useful conclusions. Er... Young master, do you think it is ordinary people who hijacked Gu Haoran?"


    The iron bull looked confused.


    "It''s impossible, young master. How can ordinary people Approach Gu Haoran and his servants silently? So that when the servant was knocked unconscious, the servant didn''t make any response, and didn''t even see who moved his hand?"


    "Besides, if ordinary people hijack Gu Haoran, Gu Haoran is tall and strong. After all, there will be some signs of resistance? As long as we resist, the surface traces will be much deeper. Even after nearly a day, we shouldn''t have found nothing."


    Jiang Fan nodded, agreed and said, "you''re right, but let''s change our thinking? If... Gu Haoran wasn''t kidnapped, did he go by himself? As for the servant, he was directly knocked out without any defense, so that he didn''t even see who moved his hand... If the person who knocked him out, it was Gu Haoran?"


    A few words of iron bull instantly stood on the spot.


    After a long delay, he came back to his senses and asked some incredible questions: "young master, why did Gu Haoran knock out his followers? And if he really left by himself, why didn''t he find Gu Haoran all over the city for so many days?"


    "I''m not sure about the specific reason, and I can''t give a positive answer for the time being. But I have to say that I''m more inclined to believe this explanation than the possibility that Gu Haoran was kidnapped by a strong master."


    Jiang Fan smiled, looked at the Zui xianlou that had appeared in the sight, and then said: "one thing, when we rule out all possibilities and leave only one final answer, then no matter how impossible, incredible and difficult to understand the answer seems, it must be the truth."


    The iron bull scratched his head and said in distress, "young master, what you said is too around. I can''t understand it."


    "This is not what I said. It was said by a man named Sherlock Holmes."


    "Xia... What is it?"


    "Sherlock Holmes."


    "The name of young master Xia... Is really long..."


    "In fact, his last name is Sherlock Holmes."


    “……”


    "Young master."


    "Huh?"


    "Is he your friend, too?"


    "Well, sort of."


    "Is he dead?"


    "... it''s dead."


    "That''s good. A man with such a strange name really deserves to die."
