Feifu understood what Lan Mu said and immediately began to check the records from fifteen years ago.
Using the slave from that year as a base, after layers of searches, they finally filtered out sixty million people.
That slave came in contact with two hundred and forty people in a year, and these two hundred and forty people, on average, came in contact with two hundred people.
Just the second batch alone had about fifty thousand suspects.
On the basis of fifty thousand people, each person came in contact with two to three hundred people, and some people even came in contact with three thousand people in a year, so the number of suspects had increased exponentially.
The third batch had ten million people, and the fourth batch had two hundred million people.
With a total of five batches, there should have been nearly four billion suspects, which was close to the current global population.
But in reality, that was not the case, after all, only the people who had actually come in contact with them were counted.
And because the vast majority of people did not have a wide social circle, and did not run around everywhere, many of them were repeat people.
So in the end, there were more than sixty million different suspects.
Compared to the size of the world, sixty million people was not a lot, or even a small number.
"From fifteen years ago until now, those who have been confirmed dead," Lan Mu said.
Feifu did as she was told, and soon, only forty-nine million suspects were left alive.
"Also exclude those who were under ten years old fifteen years ago …" Lan Mu only crossed out those who were under ten years old. Because of the advancement of technology, the age of crime had sharply decreased, and children who were eleven or twelve years old might not necessarily not mature early.
Soon, the list of suspects was down to thirty-six million.
"Also remove those who have been in the middle class and below in the past fifteen years temporarily" Lan Mu said again.
Feifu was stunned: "That's too much … Just remove 90%, and there's still 3.6 million left"
Lan Mu laughed: "That guy got the slavery system, no matter how poor he was, he could get rich just by putting on a show with a few rich slaves. Under this kind of temptation, I don't believe he would be poor for fifteen years"
Feifu said: "That's right, since the master determined that he was at the peak of his success when he got the anomaly fifteen years ago, then he would never be poor and suffer hardship. Instead, he would amass wealth wantonly, and even the middle class is not something people like him could endure. Why don't we investigate those who got rich suddenly? "
Lan Mu shook his head: "No, first of all, you don't know whether or not he was rich to begin with. Who knows whether or not he was poor or rich when he obtained the anomaly? Or just so-so? "
"Besides, even if he's not very rich, he's still very rich. With the slavery system, he had plenty of ways to become rich without being suspected of the source of his wealth. This process did not necessarily mean that he would become rich overnight. It could also take two or three years. If he was really poor at the beginning, it's more likely that … he was rich for a period of time before moving on to become rich. After fifteen years, it's impossible for him to lack money. "
"If you operate this process a little and rationalize it a little, it might be very close to becoming rich normally. After all, in the past few decades, the development of technology has been changing with each passing day. There are too many new industries, and there are too many opportunities to make a fortune … How do you determine that a person is unreasonably rich?"
"That is, unless he really did manage to inflate his assets in a very short period of time. After obtaining the anomaly, he made a fortune overnight or several nights. If he was originally poor, wouldn't the drastic change in his life be enough to make people jealous? How many trivial matters would have piled up? "
"Although I said that he was most likely in his prime at the time, if he really made a fortune without any scruples, then I don't think he's just trash, but also an idiot."
"Even if he had a little bit of patience, getting rich in two years would be a lot better."
Feifu was silent. Although he was a super A.I., when it came to analyzing this, he was still inferior to Lan Mu.
After all, Lan Mu had come into contact with too many lucky people. Although there were all kinds of weirdos, he could basically sum up their general mentality.
Coupled with his own personal experience, step-by-step exploration, combined with the information he already had, he could gradually narrow down the scope.
"Based on this situation, I can be 100% sure that the person who didn't have much money in the past fifteen years is definitely not him. Including those who were originally rich, but later declined … they can also be ruled out. "
Feifu hurriedly did as he was told, then ruled out a few small rich people who were going downhill, leaving only a million people.
Within the scope of suspicion, those with stable capital were only a few new industries and a few indispensable traditional industries.
Among them, there weren't many real asset holders, and most of them were immediate family members.
Feifu said, "Many of these people have joint assets. Excluding immediate family members, there are ten people with assets of more than ten billion, six hundred people with assets of more than two billion, two hundred people with assets of more than one billion, and forty thousand people with assets of more than one billion. There are 180,000 people with assets of more than fifty million. "
It wasn't too much, but it wasn't too little either. If he wanted to find the slave owner, he needed to continue filtering.
Feifu asked, "I think he should be in the group with assets of more than two billion. There are still six hundred people left, how do we rule them out next?"
Lan Mu said, "Hmm? That's not right. I think his personal assets should only be fifty million, or even one hundred million. "
"Ah? Isn't that too little? " Feifu felt that the price of enslaving ordinary people was not high. How could the slave owner, after fifteen years, only have assets of tens of millions, or even one or two hundred million?
Lan Mu smiled and said, "It's not too little. He's a slave owner, and has powerful means to distinguish whether he's enslaved or not. Think about it carefully, his personal assets may not be that much."
"After all, why would he need so much money? With the enslavement system, many things … may not even need to spend money … In my opinion, this guy is the kind of person who likes to stay behind the scenes. He lets the slaves do everything, and he doesn't give himself away. "
"This kind of person is more inclined to be a hidden rich man. On the surface, he has tens of millions, but in fact, he knows in his heart that all the slaves' things are his. He must have many rich slaves, and those people are all social elites. On the surface, they are incomparably glorious, and countless people call them father. But in fact, they are all his slaves in secret. What kind of wonderful feeling is this, he knows it best."
"Countless rich people are like dogs in front of him, and he can command them from thousands of miles away. Why should he pursue more personal assets? More than that would be bad, because the more money one had, the more responsibility one would have to bear in society. He can spend tens of millions however he wants, but hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions, there are too many people watching the flow of money, and what does he want it for? "
"Excluding the fact that he is an idiot, I don't think his personal assets will be too much, but he has everything. I think his identity should not be the kind that is very conspicuous. His social status is not low, and he probably has a sense of superiority. At the same time, he does not need to bear any social responsibility. "
"I think, he must enjoy this feeling, this feeling of being behind the scenes, secretly controlling everything … but no one knows that he is the master."
Feifu had nothing to say. Although this was only Lan Mu's speculation, from the known reports, it was very likely.
"Master, if that is the case, there are still many suspects, at least hundreds of thousands of people."
Lan Mu pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's assume again that he is a normal man."
"Do you still need to assume?" Feifu asked.
"Otherwise? Why do you think he must be a man? Can't he be a woman? "Lan Mu said.
Feifu was indeed not a hundred percent sure, but from what the other person did, there was a high probability that he was a man.
"Master, among the remaining hundreds of thousands of suspects, there are only 3000 women … and one transsexual" Feifu said.
Lan Mu nodded and said, "Investigate the actions of these hundreds of thousands of people, what they have been doing for the past 15 years."
Feifu said: "I know everything with a single thought, but what do I say?"
He knew very well that he could finish the investigation in a second, but it could be said that it would take more than a decade …
Lan Mu was not Ultron right now, so he couldn't directly read Feifu's database.
To find the other party within the mandatory period, he had to think of another possible characteristic of the other party.
"After he obtained an anomaly, he would definitely try to obtain something that he could not obtain before …"
…
Wah wah, sorry …
