Shen Qi first glanced at the front of the document, then turned to the back to read the conclusion.
There was no way around it. With over a hundred pages of content, it was impossible for every piece of content to be useful. Wu Li and Cha Ke couldn't guarantee that everything they did had a purpose, and that everything they had had a history. So Shen Qi chose to look at the conclusion first. If there was something that interested him, he would go back and look at the content to analyze and judge.
First of all, Wu Li’s itinerary was surprisingly very simple. He started from a small county town in the southwestern border, and would go to the northwest desert every once in a while, then return to the southwestern border, and finally meet up with Cha Ke and come to Jincheng.
During this period, Wu Li also went to the vicinity of the Tianshuang Sect's headquarters several times, probably to cooperate with Cha Ke in plotting against Chen Tianshuang.
From this itinerary map, we can see that Wu Li’s hiding place is near the small county town on the southwestern border, and the northwestern desert is most likely the hiding place of the person hiding behind him.
However, even if we know the approximate locations, it is not easy to find the person behind Wu Li. After all, the northwest desert is very large, and it is difficult for a person hiding in it to be discovered.
More importantly, these are all speculations that will take time and effort to verify.
Looking at Cha Ke's itinerary, since she came to Xia Kingdom from Tai Yao Kingdom, she stayed in the southwestern border for a while, and then went to the location of Tianshuang Sect. It was not until Chen Tianshuang died a few days ago that she came to Jincheng to meet Wu Li.
After comparing the two people's itineraries, Shen Qi suggested that Mr. Wu immediately send someone to investigate near the small county town in the southwestern border, and try to find Wu Li's lair.
Mr. Wu also agreed with this opinion and immediately asked Xiao Zhou to make arrangements.
However, this is not something that can be done easily. The reason why Wu Li's journey started from that small county town is because there is surveillance only in the small county town. Before entering the small county town, no one knows where Wu Li is. And that small county town is surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness with complex terrain and no human habitation. It will probably take a lot of time to find Wu Li's lair here.
On the other hand, Mr. Wu also arranged for a drone to conduct aerial photography surveys in the northwest desert, which may yield some results.
The reason for using a drone for aerial photography is that we are worried that rashly sending people there will attract the attention of the person behind Wu Li. If the other party escapes, it will be even more troublesome.
After the itinerary map were the things that Wu Li and Cha Ke carried with them. These things were preserved in the form of photos, so Shen Qi did not look at the conclusion directly. Instead, he looked at the photos first and then the conclusion, and soon noticed a black bracelet.
The bracelet is made of wood, a very special and rare material. It is black all over and feels quite heavy in the hand. It also has traces of being played with for a long time. It should be something that Wu Li cares about.
The professional investigators that Mr. Wu found came to a conclusion after studying the bracelet: the material, origin and purpose are unknown, and it is recommended to collect and observe it.
To put it bluntly, the people that Mr. Wu found didn't know the purpose of this bracelet, so they could only write it this way.
But Shen Qi noticed the difference because he had seen similar materials before.
About two hundred years ago, Shen Qi went to the southwestern border and saw a very rare wood there, the material of which was exactly the same as that of this bracelet!
However, with the passage of time, this kind of wood has become increasingly rare, and is now almost extinct, so it is normal that the professional investigators hired by Mr. Wu could not recognize it.
After all, they are all ordinary people. It is impossible for them to travel to every corner of Xia Country in their entire lives, and it is even more impossible for them to know some things that should have become extinct long ago.
Shen Qi asked Old Wu to bring the bracelet over. He wanted to take a good look at it. If he could really determine the material of the bracelet, it would mean narrowing down the scope of Wu Li's lair again!
Old Wu immediately asked Xiao Zhou to bring up the bracelet. After Shen Qi got the bracelet, he first used his spiritual energy to explore it and found that there was indeed a lot of Wu Li's aura left on the bracelet. He immediately understood that this bracelet must be carried by Wu Li.
Looking at the material of the bracelet, it was the same as he expected, which almost confirmed that Wu Li's lair must be where this kind of tree grows.
"Mr. Wu, it seems I have to go to the southwestern border."
Elder Wu nodded. "I'm relieved if you're willing to take action yourself. How can I cooperate with you this time?"
Shen Qi said, "No need to cooperate. I can go alone. However, your investigation in the southwestern border cannot stop. At present, I have only made some guesses based on this bracelet and cannot be sure that it is true. If I don't get any results, you can only rely on your people."
Old Wu also understood Shen Qi's meaning. This was to give him a shot of prevention in advance.
After all, Wu Li has lived for more than a hundred years and has become very wise. Although he has a bracelet made of special material on him, it is also possible that he obtained it by chance and carried it with him. Therefore, in addition to Shen Qi's trick, a large number of people need to be sent to conduct a carpet search.
After reading the document, Shen Qi returned it to Mr. Wu. As for whether Mr. Wu would hand the document over to Bai Chen and others, it depended on Mr. Wu's attitude.
Elder Wu didn't hesitate much and handed the document to Bai Chen. "Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, please take a look at this. This is related to whether we can find the person behind Wu Li. I hope everyone can do their best to avoid irreversible consequences in the future."
Bai Chen and others nodded and gathered together to study it carefully, but they were not Shen Qi after all, and they were not as professional as the people that Old Wu had found, so it was difficult for them to provide effective clues. At most, they had a better understanding of Wu Li and Cha Ke.
On the other side, Shen Qi and Elder Wu walked out of the conference room. Elder Wu asked, "Shen Qi, how do you think we should deal with Wu Li and Cha Ke?"
Shen Qi smiled. "If it were up to me, these two people should die. If you hadn't participated, I would have killed them directly."
Old Wu smiled bitterly, "It's because of my involvement that this matter cannot be handled this way. We are now in a society ruled by law. No matter how serious the crime they have committed, they must be handed over to the law for sanctions. No one has the right to punish them."
"How about this? I'll have them taken back and kept under guard. I'll also send someone to collect evidence of their crimes. Even if they must die, it must be under the law!"
Shen Qi nodded. "Just take care of this matter. I won't be involved. If there's nothing else, I'll leave for the southwestern border right now. Only by finding the person behind Wu Li as soon as possible can we rest assured."
