They secretly split the eight transport team members into groups of two, and each group was given different false treasure location information.
These false locations were carefully selected; they were not too far from our Speed Clan's castle residence to avoid unnecessary risks, and they were also hidden enough to allow the spy to investigate without being easily discovered.
At the same time.
The Elders arranged for reliable personnel to go to the various false locations in advance to lie in wait.
These guarding clan members were strictly selected; they were not only trustworthy but also agile and good at hiding.
With nervous yet expectant hearts, they quietly lurked near the false locations, waiting for a possible spy to appear.
"Once I catch that spy, I will tear him to shreds!" a guarding clan member said angrily.
"That's right, to dare to betray us after our Speed Clan has gone through a life-and-death battle, he doesn't deserve to be a member of our Speed Clan!" another clan member echoed.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone's mood gradually became tense.
The clan members were busy at their respective posts, but their hearts were all concerned about the progress of this plan to ferret out the spy.
Bai Chenxiang stood in the clan's council hall, pacing back and forth.
Her steps were light and hurried, each one revealing her inner anxiety.
Her hands were sometimes clasped tightly, sometimes relaxed, and her eyes held both expectation and worry.
"Elders, do you think we can successfully find the spy this time?" Bai Chenxiang stopped and looked at the Elders sitting nearby.
One of the Elders frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and said, "It's hard to say, we can only wait and see. Although this plan is carefully designed, the spy is also very cunning, so the outcome is truly unpredictable."
Another Elder continued, "However, the clan members we arranged are reliable; as long as the spy takes the bait, we will definitely be able to catch him."
Bai Chenxiang looked up slightly, saying worriedly, "I hope so. If we can't find the spy, there will be endless troubles."
Clan Head Bai He said earnestly to Bai Chenxiang, "Xiang'er, don't be too anxious. We have made ample preparations, and I believe there will be a result."
Bai Chenxiang nodded and continued to wait anxiously in the council hall.
Her heart held both expectation and worry. She hoped to successfully find the spy and ensure the safety of resource transportation.
But she also worried that if the plan failed, it would bring an even greater crisis to the clan.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, there was movement at the first false location.
The person waiting there sent back a message via a special spirit tool: one of the transport team members appeared near that location, cautiously observing the surroundings.
Upon receiving the news, Bai Chenxiang and the others immediately became tense.
Her heart rate instantly quickened, and her breathing became hurried.
"Elders, there's a situation!" Bai Chenxiang urgently shouted.
The Elders all stood up, their faces showing serious expressions.
"Quick, let's quickly analyze this person's behavior and try to determine if he is the spy," an Elder said.
Everyone sat together and began to discuss.
"Why would this person appear at this false location? Could he really be the spy?" Bai Chenxiang questioned.
"It's also possible that he was simply attracted by the temptation of treasure. After all, the false treasure information we conveyed might tempt some people," another Elder analyzed.
"But his behavior is very suspicious; he is cautiously observing the surroundings, which is clearly not the behavior of a normal person coveting treasure," Bai Chenxiang retorted.
"Chenxiang is right, but we can't conclude he's a spy based on this alone," Elder Jian said rationally.
"So what should we do now?" Bai Chenxiang asked anxiously.
"Don't act rashly yet; continue to observe his actions," Elder Jian responded.
Just as they were still discussing, the clan member lying in wait at the second false location also sent news.
Another person from another transport team appeared there.
Now, everyone was even more confused.
What's going on? Are both of these people spies? Or is it just a coincidence, and they were simply attracted by the temptation of treasure?
Bai Chenxiang frowned, feeling that things were becoming increasingly complicated.
She asked in confusion, "Elders, what exactly is going on? What should we do now?"
The Elders also fell into deep thought. They realized that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.
One of the Elders said, "Should we immediately capture these two people and interrogate them in the main hall?"
"Absolutely not! If we directly capture and interrogate them now, our plan might become an excuse for the spy to clear his name," Bai Chenxiang retorted.
Clan Head Bai He asked, "Why would it become their excuse?"
Bai Chenxiang explained, "Think about it, we sent clan members to leak addresses with treasures. If we just capture them like this, wouldn't the spy have a ready excuse to say that someone told him there were treasures here, so he wanted to check it out? That way, it would be even harder for us to prove he's a spy."
"If both of these people are spies, then their plan might have already been partially exposed to the enemy; if it's truly just a coincidence, then we still need to continue observing and analyzing," Elder Jian said slowly.
"We cannot easily jump to conclusions," another Elder said.
"We need to further observe the behavior of these two people and see if they will have more suspicious actions."
Bai Chenxiang clenched her fists: "Mm-hmm, we can't jump to conclusions yet; let's continue to observe."
Overnight, no one appeared at the two locations of the other two groups of members.
At this moment.
Inside the conference hall.
All the Elders had gathered in the hall early.
Elder Jian calmly summarized: "After a whole night of investigation, among the eight people in four groups, one person from two of the groups appeared within the range of two different false addresses, while the other two groups did not. This means that currently, the spy suspects are narrowed down to two people, but it's still uncertain which of these two is the real spy."
Bai Chenxiang added: "Currently, there are three possibilities: either the clan member from the first group is the spy and the clan member from the second group went there out of greed for treasure; or the clan member from the first group went out of greed for treasure and the clan member from the second group is the spy; or the third and worst-case scenario, which is that both of them are spies."
The atmosphere in the conference hall was heavy, and everyone was contemplating the next course of action.
