Obviously, if nothing else happens, this old beggar who had actually met Wei Changtian was the mysterious man who single-handedly controlled the assassination.
The news he just received should have come from Huo Tianyang.
It had only been a quarter of an hour since Wei Changcai sent the message to Huo Tianyang. The latter turned around and told the old beggar.
This shows that the relationship between Huo Tianyang and this person is by no means a cooperative relationship, but more like a superior and subordinate.
Based on this analysis, it may be that this old beggar really leaked the secret that Han Guan was the son of Heaven to Huo Tianyang.
Then the problem comes.
How did this person learn about Han Guan’s identity?
If Wei Changtian could analyze to this point, he would probably get stuck here.
After all, this old man who is obviously over fifty years old does not look like any of the few remaining sons of heaven.
What's more, he still knows nothing about it and is "waiting" near the compound...
...
"Zhi~zhi~zhi~"
Opposite the compound, in a certain alley.
The cicadas chirped on the trees one after another, covering up most of the movement around them.
And at a certain moment, when a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and stopped under the big tree, the cicadas on the tree seemed to be frightened by something, and they all became extremely quiet for an instant.
They looked at the man standing under the tree through the gaps in the leaves, their thin cicada wings trembling slightly, as if they were a little scared.
However, the man had no time to care about these summer cicadas. He was leaning against the tree trunk and thinking about something.
That's right, although Wei Changtian sneaked back here quietly, Wei Changtian didn't find anyone suspicious after walking around.
Of course, there are many businesses and residents around here, and Wei Changtian needs to hide his whereabouts, so it is impossible to search from house to house openly, so it is normal that no one is found.
And since no one is found, what should we do next?
Keep waiting?
This is undoubtedly unrealistic.
This mysterious man is by no means an idle person. It can be seen from the last "hairpin-losing incident" that he has strong "anti-reconnaissance" capabilities.
So it's best to find a way to force him to show up...
After frowning and thinking for a while, Wei Changtian gradually had an idea in his mind.
He didn't stop writing, and quickly left the alley.
And not long after leaving, the chirping of cicadas among the branches and leaves began again, making a squeaking noise.
...
...
Almost half an hour later, Wei Changtian stayed at a small inn not far from the compound.
Yes, he did not go back to Guanyue Inn where he stayed before, but stayed nearby.
The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to better monitor the situation near the compound.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian had deeper considerations.
He had just thought carefully about the logic of this mysterious man's behavior.
First of all, this person undoubtedly does not want to find out his identity himself.
A ** who does good deeds without leaving a name?
This must be impossible.
But thinking about it on the other hand, this person doesn't seem to be completely opposite to me.
Then, this mysterious man is more like a "player" who likes to control everything in secret.
He should really enjoy the feeling of playing with others, so he has been manipulating everything secretly.
In the face of such people, it is undoubtedly difficult to find them through "frontal investigation".
So Wei Changcai chose to hide himself.
You are dark, and so am I.
When the mysterious person suddenly finds that he is missing, the feeling of losing control will force him to take some more "active" actions.
At that time, it will be much easier for me to find him.
To put it bluntly, Wei Changtian was playing a "psychological game."
It's not very clever, but it's the best way he can think of at the moment...
"Sir, I'm going out first. If you need anything, please call me later."
In a certain guest room on the second floor of the inn, the clerk handed a key to Wei Changtian and left the room.
This inn is not high-end, so the service provided by the staff is not very good.
But Wei Changtian didn't care about this. After sitting in the room for a while, he was going to go downstairs to have lunch.
Although he didn't disguise himself, he wasn't afraid that someone in the inn would recognize him.
After all, the only people who have seen him or his portrait in Linchuan City are officials, and few ordinary people know what he looks like.
But what a coincidence...
"Master Wei?!"
Just as he sat down at a table in the front hall of the inn, before Wei Changtian could order, a woman's soft call came from not far away.
With a frown, Wei Changtian looked up instantly, and at the same time his hand was already on the handle of the knife.
But the next moment when he saw who the speaker was, his expression gradually relaxed again.
"Miss Pan'er?"
Looking at the surprised woman, Wei Changtian was also a little surprised at this time.
Because this woman was the brothel red card who accompanied him before yesterday's assassination.
As for why she is here... This inn is not far from Banyue River. She probably had nowhere to go after Manxiang Tower was destroyed, so she stayed here temporarily.
Good guy, what a coincidence...
"Master Wei, why are you here?"
On the other side, when Wei Changtian secretly sighed at this coincidence, a woman named Pan'er had already walked closer.
Compared with the way she dressed in the brothel, her clothes now are obviously much more elegant, and she doesn't have any makeup on her face. She looks like a good-looking woman from a good family.
"Oh, I have something to do and I have to stay here for a few days."
Nodding to the woman, Wei Changtian answered casually, then asked with a smile:
"Why, you have nowhere to go for the time being, so you're settling here?"
"yes......"
A blush appeared on the woman's face, she lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
Recalling that this woman wanted to go with him yesterday, Wei Changtian immediately understood why she blushed.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't feel guilty, but he was somewhat embarrassed, so he paused and said with a smile:
"You haven't eaten either?"
"Why don't we eat together? I can also take the opportunity to order a few more dishes to try."
"..."
Hearing that Wei Changtian suddenly invited her to "have lunch together", the woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, she nodded slightly, put her skirt back and sat opposite Wei Changtian.
"well......"
"Hahaha, weren't you still eloquent yesterday? Why are you so shy and timid today?"
Seeing that the woman suddenly changed from a "brothel red card" to an "innocent girl", Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh and made a joke.
After he finished speaking, he asked the waiter to take his order, but the face of the woman opposite him suddenly became hot.
Biting his lip, he quietly raised his head to look at Wei Changtian who was ordering food, and immediately lowered his head like a thief.
The woman just sat there in a reserved and uneasy manner, waiting until Wei Changtian finished ordering and the waiter walked away before she whispered in a low voice:
"Wei, Mr. Wei, my surname is Gu, and my name is indeed Pan'er..."
"oh?"
Although Wei Changtian didn't know why this woman suddenly announced her family status, he still nodded politely.
"Gu Pan'er... Gu Pan is so beautiful, what a good name."
