Chapter 272 Footprints, Li Song is in trouble
Unexpectedly, everyone glanced at Tang Yu, then lowered their heads indifferently.
"Sir, this is one of the crime scenes."
Tang Yu was somewhat surprised.
What? You're standing at the crime scene?
So Tang Yu asked the people here for details.
Then an old man stepped forward and pointed to another house.
"Sir, one of my nephews died in this very house."
"He was found dead in his home the day after he participated in opposing this aristocratic behavior."
"The coroner came and examined the body, and it was determined to be suicide. We can also tell that it doesn't look like it was caused by someone."
"But although it was suicide, we saw the same luxurious fabrics that only nobles could afford beside him, just like those of the other dead."
"So this wasn't suicide at all, it was clearly premeditated murder, it was clearly those nobles provoking us!"
Hearing what this person said, Yu Tangyu nodded.
Although he didn't quite understand the intricacies, he sensed that something was amiss.
And it's not just a little bit wrong, it's something very wrong.
This seems to be an extremely simple way of framing someone, which is almost an insult not only to the intelligence of the common people, but also to the intelligence of the nobles.
But why have things turned out this way?
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu went to that room.
The footprints at the scene had been completely destroyed, and Tang Yu began to examine every corner of the house.
Because Tang Yu took a physical enhancement drug, his vision, sense of smell, and other abilities have reached the limits of human capabilities.
While it can't compare to professional instruments or modern police detection equipment, it's more than sufficient for this era.
Based on Tang Yu's keen observation of these details, he quickly discovered that there seemed to be traces of someone walking on the windowsill of the room, and the footprints were still quite fresh.
Based on the time of that person's death, Tang Yu already had a deduction in his mind.
This person was indeed murdered.
Although it is exactly the same as the previous conclusion.
However, we absolutely cannot rule out the possibility that this person did commit suicide due to some accident, which could have led to this series of events.
But if we rule out that possibility, then who could have killed him?
Tang Yu thought about it and realized that there were far too many cases like this. It would be too difficult to put all these cases together and find the murderer.
Tang Yu decided to use the most basic and simple method—the "big brick flying" method—to find the murderer.
That means cracking a single case and directly identifying the mastermind behind it all.
Then, through a surprise interrogation of the mastermind, they hope he will reveal who is behind him.
After saying goodbye to the group, Tang Yu went to see the various sites alone.
Everything at each location unfolded exactly as Tang Yu had predicted.
But most importantly, Tang Yu finally discovered a common thread among them.
Because this event happened in a very short period of time, the longest it could last was no more than twenty-three days.
So after walking through all these crime scenes, Tang Yu discovered that there was the same footprint in all of them.
Yes, although Tang Yu has no technological means to use, with his terrifying physical abilities, he is in no way inferior to Superman.
Having confirmed the footprints, Tang Yu's mind calmed down.
After all, if you have a target, it's easier to catch up.
As for who the owner of these footprints was, Tang Yu was still not quite sure.
However, he already had a vague idea of that person's identity.
Just then, Tang Yu suddenly saw a child dressed in burlap clothes running towards him from a distance.
He was holding a long sword in his hand.
The moment Tang Yu saw the longsword, his eyebrows twitched.
Because this longsword was the same one that Li Song had used before.
Could it be that Li Song is sending me some kind of signal?
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu walked towards the child.
Who would have thought that the child would speak the moment he saw Tang Yu?
“Sir, another gentleman asked me to give you this sword, and he also wrote a letter for you.”
After receiving the sword and letter, Tang Yu watched the child's back and, after confirming that there were no problems, slowly opened the letter.
However, the letter contained only Li Song's unusually messy handwriting.
"Grand Preceptor, this is a trap! Get out of Handan! Run!"
Looking at Li Song's messy handwriting, Tang Yu confirmed that the handwriting was indeed written by Li Song himself, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
First, Li Song discovered the problem and asked me to leave.
Secondly, Li Song wrote this piece of calligraphy under duress.
Regardless of the situation, Tang Yu felt he should go and see.
He immediately headed straight for Li Song's residence.
When he arrived, he found the place already surrounded by people.
They all looked nervously into the dwelling, clearly very worried.
Tang Yu learned from someone that Li Song had been assassinated there.
Although not in mortal danger, he has fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
Meanwhile, some people have already gone to Xianyang City to give their work reports.
In any case, if any problems arise with the secretaries or officials, they must be reported to Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, immediately.
This is why the nobles only dared to detain Li Song, but dared not do anything to him.
As expected, Tang Yu saw many nobles with unusually ugly expressions here.
"Damn it, what happened to Li Song, the secretary official sent by the Qin Dynasty?"
"And with such severe injuries, what will happen if the tyrant finds out about our situation in Handan?"
"My God, I can't even imagine the consequences!"
"Then we're doomed!"
"After all, you all know just how much this tyrant hated Handan City before."
"Damn it, damn it all, how did it have to turn out like this? What are we supposed to do?"
Listening to the whispers among the group, Tang Yu suddenly realized a serious problem.
That is to say, it seems that Li Song's letter to himself was not written under duress, but rather based on a genuine discovery.
So, does that mean I'm the target?
Tang Yu smiled with interest.
He then went to a secluded place and dialed Ying Zheng's number.
As soon as the call connected, Tang Yu began to speak with great interest.
"Your Majesty, have any of the Black Ice Guard's spies informed you that Li Song is in trouble?"
