Fang Ze looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's words somewhat surprised Fang Ze.

Qin Ji, the elder of Xuanwu Palace, didn't even know about Fang Ze's acquisition of the scarlet bead. How did Chen Yuan know about it?

And this happened just now, why would Chen Yuan know about it and be so sure about it?

Fang Ze thought about this, his face still looked like a flat lake and an ancient well without ripples.

"what are you saying?"

Fang Zedan asked calmly.

"Hahaha... Fang Ze, you are really cautious. Even if you have an absolute advantage, you are not willing to show any flaws. You are very good at this and I admire you very much."

"But don't you know what I'm talking about?"

Chen Yuan laughed, but it affected his injury and he couldn't help but cough a few times, coughing up blood.

However, Chen Yuan remained strong-willed, holding back the pain and not showing his pained expression.

Fang Ze had no expression as he listened to Chen Yuan continue.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Whether you admit it or not, I will treat you as knowing... Fang Ze, you probably know that the four core disciples of our Xuanwu Palace died in Miao territory because they went on a mission.

That mission is to obtain a valuable treasure from the Flying Snake Cult!"

"That heavy treasure is a crimson bead!"

"Originally, my disciples of the Xuanwu Palace, who have acquired the precious scarlet bead, were about to return to the Xuanwu Palace from the Miao territory, but I didn't expect to encounter Master Baidu on the way and poison them to death."

"The people from the Flying Snake Sect in Miaojiang passed this news to Xuanwu Palace. The sect leader and Elder Qin secretly discussed it and finally decided to find your people who have returned to the sect from thousands of miles away to bring back the bodies of the four core disciples of our palace."

Fang Ze listened, and although his face was expressionless, he was convinced in his heart.

What Chen Yuan is saying now is all information that Fang Ze knows or speculates about, and it is completely consistent.

But Chen Yuan didn't say why he knew the scarlet bead was in Fang Ze's hands.

Chen Yuan coughed twice, coughed out a small mouthful of blood, and continued: "Fang Ze, you must be wondering, why do I know that the scarlet bead is either in your hands, or in the hands of several other disciples of your Wanligui sect?"

"Haha, let me tell you, that's because in Miao territory, in addition to the four core disciples who died, there are also outer disciples of my Xuanwu Palace. On the surface, they are traders and hawkers, but in fact they are probing intelligence.

Build channels.”

"This time, the disciples of our palace who went to Miao territory to handle affairs were headed by Zhu Gaoyi. After he obtained the scarlet bead in our Xuanwu Palace, he used the channels of my outer disciples in Xuanwu Palace in Miao territory to pass the letter on flying pigeons and sent

Come here with a note."

"The note was very short. It said, 'The goods have been obtained and are hidden in my possession.'"

"Haha... what is the product? I just said it, it is the red bead, and it is hidden in my body... There are only a few places on the human body where things can be hidden. Zhu Gaoyi will never eat it or hide it in his nostrils.

It is even less possible to hide it in the posterior orifice, so the only place where it can be hidden in the human body is the ear hole."

"Outsiders don't know what the goods are, and they can't imagine that there are so many, and I happen to be in charge of intelligence in the Xuanwu Palace. When I saw the news from Zhu Gaoyi's flying pigeon, I guessed that Zhu Gaoyi must have hidden the red beads in his ears.

among.”

"As for Zhu Gaoyi, his death was too sudden. He was killed by Master Baidu in Miao territory just after he sent the letter. The message delivered by the carrier pigeon took some twists and turns, and finally the news of their death came later."

"Only I saw the intelligence note that Zhu Gaoyi sent before his death, and I am the person in charge of this intelligence channel. The outer disciples only know that there are carrier pigeons transmitting information, but they don't know what the content is, and the process of transmitting the message is inherently complicated.

It’s possible that the homing pigeon got lost and the news didn’t get out.”

"So, I directly destroyed the message sent by Zhu Gaoyi. I am the only one who knows about the red beads hidden in his ear holes!"

Chen Yuan said.

After hearing this, Fang Ze's heart moved slightly.

No wonder!

No wonder Chen Yuan was so sure that the Scarlet Red Pearl was here in Fang Ze, but Qin Ji, the elder of Xuanwu Palace who had a higher status, seemed not to know the news.

It turns out that it was Chen Yuan who hid the information secretly, and there was exclusive information sent by Zhu Gaoyi before his death!

Chen Yuan had this exclusive information, so he could infer some things that Elder Qin Ji didn't know.

What happens next is easy to deduce.

Chen Yuan acted selfishly and wanted to take advantage of the intelligence to hide the red bead midway and secretly steal the valuable treasure that the flying snake had taught him.

Fang Ze looked at Chen Yuan and felt that this man was very scheming and thoughtful, and he seemed very ambitious.

Chen Yuan is a very capable person, and it seems that he should not be underestimated.

It's just a pity that he met Fang Ze.

Fang Ze was living this information in his mind, but his expression remained calm.

"Then what?"

Fang Ze asked.

"Then? Haha... Then, you people who have returned to the sect from thousands of miles away will send back the bodies of Zhu Gaoyi and others. As soon as you left, Elder Qin Ji sent the others away and started searching for the corpses."

"I searched Zhu Gaoyi's body carefully, and there were no scarlet beads among his belongings. When Elder Qin Ji wasn't paying attention, I checked Zhu Gaoyi's ear holes and found some traces of something hidden!"

"It's just that there is nothing in the ear hole now."

"I know the purpose of their trip, and I have seen the information delivered by Zhu Gaoyi. After careful consideration of the other things, I understand that Zhu Gaoyi and the others were completely unlucky when they met Master Baidu. No matter how powerful Master Baidu was, he would not know that they were going to Miao territory.

the true purpose.”

"So the scarlet bead must not have been taken by Master Baidu."

"The person who delivered the news of Zhu Gaoyi's death was the Flying Snake Sect. The Scarlet Red Pearl was obtained through calculations from the Flying Snake Sect. If the Flying Snake Sect found out what was going on, they would be furious and take revenge on the Xuanwu Palace. However, the Flying Snake Sect kept everything as usual and even handed it back.

The body was found, so the Scarlet Red Bead must not be in the hands of the Flying Snake Cult."

"Since the Scarlet Red Bead is not in the hands of the Flying Snake Cult, nor in the hands of Master Baidu, and it is not in the ear hole of Zhu Gaoyi's corpse... then there is only one possibility for the whereabouts of the Scarlet Red Bead."

"Then, it's on the disciples of the Wanligui sect who came back with Zhu Gaoyi's body!"

Chen Yuan said.

Fang Ze listened and nodded slightly.

At this time, the night was deep, night owls were chirping in the forest, and some local birds were flying.

Chen Yuan's inference was very accurate and the process was quite exciting.

I have to admit that Chen Yuan's martial arts skills are not mediocre, he is also very courageous, and his thoughts are very meticulous. The results he deduced are almost inseparable.

This person is also very ambitious and flexible.

Chen Yuan will become a character if he grows up over time.

It really shouldn't be underestimated.

However, at the moment, Chen Yuan is still just a defeated general under Fang Ze, and his life and death are in Fang Ze's hands.

Fang Ze clapped his palms a few times, clapped gently, and said, "The inference is wonderful."

"Oh? Did you admit it? The scarlet bead is in your hand?" Chen Yuan looked at Fang Ze and asked, staring into Fang Ze's eyes.

"That's what I want to say. Your inference is wonderful, but unfortunately, the result is wrong." Fang Ze shook his head.

"No matter what the process is, I can tell you clearly that the scarlet beads you are talking about are not in my hands, nor in the hands of any disciple who has returned to the sect from thousands of miles away."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

He looked at Fang Ze and asked, "Not in your hands?"

"What's wrong with my inference?"

Fang Ze chuckled.

"If you want to hear it, I can give you some explanations."

"However, Chen Yuan, your purpose is not to talk to me, or even to save your own life. My explanation to you is in vain, don't you think so?" Fang Ze said.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan's face instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes kept flickering as he looked at Fang Ze.

"Fang Ze, what do you mean? I'm so embarrassed, am I still joking and having fun with you?"

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

Fang Ze smiled slightly and said, "Chen Yuan, you are a smart man, very smart."

"I admit that."

"However, just because you are smart does not mean that others are not smart and will fall into your trap."

"You are too confident."

After saying that, Fang Ze looked at the dense forest behind Chen Yuan, and then said: "You just said so much. It seems that you are betraying the information to save your life, but do you think I don't know your true purpose?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Chen Yuan didn't know if it was due to his injury, and his face looked a little ugly.

Fang Ze said calmly: "The inference you just made is very exciting, but you just missed some parts. Let me try to help you fill it in."

"Let's start with you noticing that there are no beads in Zhu Gaoyi's ears... Just imagine, what would you do if you didn't find the red beads in Zhu Gaoyi's ears?"
