1520: C1520 What a Big Game of Chess

C1520 What a Big Game of Chess

Hearing Liu Lei's serious words, Zhou Bai obviously realized the importance of this matter and didn't dare to relax at all.

After marking all the points, he checked them over and over before reporting:

"Captain, I've checked many times already, there's absolutely no mistake, that's all."

As he said that, Zhou Bai turned his laptop around and showed it to Liu Lei. On it was a city map, densely packed with countless red dots.

"So many?"

Liu Lei looked at it and frowned.

With so many spots, even if all of the members of the organization were sent out, it would still not be enough.

Unless they had more outer circle members, it might be enough. But since the outer circle members don't have any special abilities, sending them would be very dangerous.

This was truly a troublesome matter. For a moment, everyone was at a loss as to how to resolve it.

"Captain, there's nothing we can do."

"After all, a city is so big. There are many families willing to buy luxury goods."

"Even if this sort of family does not make up the majority, they are still as numerous as the hairs on an ox when compared to the foundation of the entire city."

Zhou Bai said helplessly.

He had just counted it many times, so he understood how many there were.

There were indeed too many of them. Just the numbers alone were enough to make the crowd dizzy, let alone the manpower arrangement.

This can't be arranged at all.

"There's no other way. We can only use the elimination method to get rid of them. Otherwise, with so many points, even if we exhaust ourselves, we wouldn't be able to deploy all of them."

"Take a look at the locations of the previous incidents and analyze them to see if there are any patterns."

Liu Lei instructed as he lightly tapped the steering wheel with his index finger.

Zhou Bai immediately showed the location of the previous incidents and then observed.

After observing for a while, he found that there seemed to be a pattern inside, so he reported:

"Captain, the location of these incidents seems to be at the periphery of the city, which means it's quite far away from the center of the city. There's almost no one nearby."

Liu Lei nodded and roughly understood.

He knew that this was not a coincidence, but a deliberate action by the masterminds.

Because the mastermind wanted to lay a trap for the entire city, they had to start from the outskirts of the city.

Once the outer parts of the city are done, it will radiate into the center of the city.

"What a big game of chess. Let me see if you can finish this game in front of me!"

Liu Lei thought with a cold look in his eyes. Then he continued to instruct: "It's not enough yet, I still need to continue excluding you."

"Exclude all households that have more than two people in their homes, leaving only those that live alone."

"I've been to the places where all these incidents happened. The dead people are basically living alone."

"My guess is that it would be more convenient to take care of the residents who lived alone. They wouldn't be discovered too early, so the mastermind chose these people."1

"This is also a rule. Although it can't always be used, at least I can take the risk and try. If I can succeed, then it would be safe."

Zhou Bai listened to the order and once again activated the Exclusion skill. A lot of the red dots on the city map disappeared.

They lived alone in the outskirts of the city, so there were very few residents who could meet these two requirements at the same time.

At least, it was much better than the red dots.
