Chapter 273: Coming for me?
Ying Zheng was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, then nodded.
"Mr. Tang, although I don't know exactly what happened in Handan..."
"However, the Black Ice Guard has already used emergency transmission methods to send a message back to Xianyang City."
"At the time, I was still curious about what it could be."
"But now that Mr. Tang has said so, I have a rough idea of what it is."
Tang Yu nodded in response to Ying Zheng's words.
It seems that things turned out exactly as he had predicted.
As soon as Li Song got into trouble, news of it immediately reached Xianyang City.
This seems to be a form of tipping off.
They wanted the people in Xianyang to know what had happened there.
After hanging up Ying Zheng's call, Tang Yu felt a little curious.
Who exactly is targeting me?
At the same time, his goal was to force himself to show himself and come to this city of Handan.
Since that's the case, I'd like to see what you plan to do if I don't show myself.
One night, Tang Yu secretly confirmed that Li Song's physical condition was not a problem.
He went straight back to his inn and continued to live in anonymity.
He knew that these people would never dare to actually harm Li Song.
Otherwise, all their plans would be exposed.
Because the person who comes could absolutely not be Tang Yu.
Tang Yu's actions could still be described as investigating a case, or rather, seeking the truth.
If an official really did die, it would be a secretary who had only been in office for less than two months.
It was the kind of speech that allowed secretaries and officials to directly convey their words to Ying Zheng.
That would not only mean the death of a secretary or official, but also the loss of face for the entire Qin Dynasty.
Then the Qin army will arrive.
Suppressing organized crime requires evidence, but counter-terrorism does not.
Clearly, no one wants to see the second scenario happen.
There are only two things that need to be done now.
The first thing to do is to investigate the identity of the person whose footprints were found at every scene.
Let's find out who he really is.
If Tang Yu's guess is correct, he is most likely a professional assassin, and these people all died at his hands.
The other one is something that Tang Yu needs to solve.
Let's see if he can catch this person at the next scene.
If he could catch him, Tang Yu had a thousand ways to make him reveal his true identity and plans.
However, Tang Yu felt that this possibility was extremely slim.
Since the other side actually sent a message to Xianyang City, the next few days will definitely be unusually peaceful.
That evening, Tang Yu sat in one of the people's homes, completely relaxed, and entered a state of oneness with nature.
He relaxed all five senses to the maximum, feeling everything happening around him.
At this moment, his ears could hear sounds from almost 5,000 meters away, and he would not miss the slightest rustling sound.
To Tang Yu's disappointment, just as he had expected, the person seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Surprisingly, no one died or anything happened that night.
The next day, Tang Yu was surrounded by this group of ordinary people, who all regarded him as their lifeline.
Knowing that the other party was absolutely unlikely to make a move, Tang Yu was not going to be foolish enough to sit idly by and wait for his death.
The scene has been almost completely destroyed, so even Tang Yu can't find any useful evidence.
At the same time, he had a rough guess about the other party's identity.
If they were able to lure me here, and their purpose was me, then perhaps these nobles from Handan were truly just there to shield me from harm.
However, Tang Yu felt that it wouldn't be unreasonable to give them a small warning for their usual words and actions.
However, Tang Yu now has a completely new approach.
He held a portion of the fabric fragments that the people possessed.
We prepared to go to the government office to retrieve the other piece of cloth and see what they had in common.
According to Tang Yu's observation, these fabric fragments did indeed come from extremely luxurious and high-end clothing, something that ordinary poor people could never afford.
The fabric is also very new, unlike the kind of old goods that have been piled up for two or three years. It is definitely a brand new item from that year.
Every time they scatter fabric scraps on site, even if it's just a little bit each time, it adds up to quite a lot.
Tang Yu was curious about where this fabric came from.
If we could find the source of this fabric, then perhaps the identity of the person would be much easier to uncover.
……
Speaking of fabrics, Tang Yu has done some research on them.
After all, Lü Zhi runs a clothing store, and as her top assistant, Tang Yu is naturally very familiar with the fabrics.
However, in this case, Tang Yu sensed something was off as soon as he touched the fabric.
The fabrics are too similar, too uniform.
Modern people may think this is normal, but it was very difficult to do in ancient times, especially the stitches and the way the thread was laid.
Even though there were textile machines to help with weaving in ancient times, manual labor still accounted for a relatively large proportion.
The large proportion of manual labor means that there will inevitably be some differences.
However, this fabric seems to be extremely similar in every part, and most importantly, the amount is just too much.
Tang Yu immediately made his choice: to visit the largest cloth merchant in the entire city of Handan the next day.
When Tang Yu arrived at the largest cloth merchant house in Handan the next day, he looked at the gate and remained silent.
The next moment, he stepped inside.
"Hello, sir/madam, what would you like to order? I can recommend something to you."
The waiter could tell from Tang Yu's demeanor and appearance that he was no ordinary person, so he immediately began to serve him with great hospitality.
Looking at the waiter in front of him, Tang Yu first pretended to take a tour, and then slowly began to speak.
"Do you have any high-quality fabrics here, especially woven ones? The tighter and finer the better. Price is not an issue."
"This fabric is so loose, the clothes have no shape at all when worn."
"I want high-quality fabric for my clothes."
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Xiao Er's smile became even brighter.
After all, the more expensive the clothes he sells, the higher his commission will be.
He immediately led Tang Yu to another pile of fabric and said.
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This is the best batch of fabrics in our shop."
