Chapter 873 Gu Paner
It is obvious that, if nothing unexpected happens, this old beggar who has actually met Wei Changtian is the mysterious man who manipulated the assassination.
And the message he just received should have been from Huo Tianyang.
It had only been a quarter of an hour since Wei Changtian delivered the message to Huo Tianyang, when the latter turned around and told the old beggar.
From this we can see that the relationship between Huo Tianyang and this person is by no means a cooperative relationship, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship.
Based on this analysis, it is possible that this old beggar really leaked the secret that Han Guan is the Son of Heaven to Huo Tianyang.
So here comes the question.
How did this person know Han Guan's identity? If Wei Changtian could analyze this far, he would probably get stuck here.
After all, this old man who is obviously over fifty years old doesn't look like any of the few remaining Sons of Heaven.
What's more, he still knows nothing about this and is "waiting for the rabbit" near the compound. "Squeak~Squeak~Squeak~"
Opposite the compound, in an alley.
The cicadas in the trees chirped one after another, covering up most of the surrounding noises.
And at a certain moment, when a black shadow appeared from nowhere and stopped under the big tree, the cicadas on the tree seemed to be frightened by something and became extremely quiet in 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 frightened.
However, the man had no time to care about these summer cicadas. He was leaning against the tree trunk thinking about something.
That’s right, although he sneaked back here, Wei Changtian didn’t find any suspicious person after taking a look around.
Of course, there are many businesses and residents around here, and Wei Changtian needs to hide his whereabouts, so it is impossible for him to search door to door openly, so it is normal that he didn't find anyone.
Since we haven't found the person, what should we do next? Keep waiting? This is undoubtedly unrealistic.
This mysterious man is by no means an ordinary person. From the last "lost hairpin incident", it can be seen that he has strong "anti-reconnaissance" capabilities.
So it would be best to find a way to force him to show up. Frowning and thinking for a while, Wei Changtian gradually formed an idea in his mind.
He didn't hesitate and quickly left the alley.
Soon after they left, the sound of cicadas chirping among the branches and leaves began to rang out again, making a loud noise.
About half an hour later, Wei Changtian settled down in a small inn not far from the compound.
Yes, he did not go back to the Guanyue Inn where he had stayed before, but stayed nearby.
The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to better monitor the situation around the compound.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian has 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 man who does good things without leaving his name?
This must be impossible.
But on the other hand, this person doesn't seem to be completely against me.
Then, this mysterious person is more like a "player" who likes to control everything in secret.
He must be enjoying the feeling of having others in the palm of his hand, so he has been manipulating everything in secret.
When faced with such people, it is undoubtedly difficult to find them through "positive investigation".
That's why Wei Changtian chose to hide himself.
You are in the dark, and I am in the dark too.
When the mysterious man suddenly finds himself missing, the feeling of being out of control forces him to take some more "active" actions.
By that time, it would be much easier to find him.
To put it bluntly, Wei Changtian is playing a "psychological game".
It wasn't a brilliant idea, but it was the best solution he could think of at the moment. "Sir, I'll be out first. You can come back if you need anything."
In a guest room on the second floor of the inn, the waiter handed a key to Wei Changtian and left the room.
This inn is not high-end, so the service of the waiters will not be very good.
However, Wei Changtian didn't care about these. After sitting in the house for a while, he prepared to go downstairs to have lunch.
Although he did not disguise himself, he was not afraid that anyone in the inn would recognize him.
After all, the only people in Linchuan City who had seen him in person or his portrait were officials, and almost no ordinary people knew what he looked like.
But what a coincidence is... "Master Wei?!"
Wei Changtian had just sat down at a table in the front hall of the inn, before he could order, when he heard a woman's soft cry from not far away.
Wei Changtian frowned and looked up instantly, while his hand already rested on the hilt of the knife.
But the next moment when he saw who was speaking, his expression gradually relaxed.
"Miss Pan'er?"
Looking at the woman with a look of surprise, Wei Changtian was also a little surprised at this time.
Because this woman was the prostitute who accompanied him before the assassination happened yesterday.
As for why she was here, this inn was not far from the Half Moon River. It was probably because she had nowhere to go after the destruction of Manxiang Tower, so she stayed here temporarily.
Good boy, what a coincidence. "Master Wei, why are you here?"
On the other side, just as Wei Changtian was secretly marveling at this coincidence, the woman named Pan'er had already approached.
Compared to her attire in the brothel, her clothes now were obviously much more simple and elegant, and she had no makeup on her face. She looked like a pretty girl from a good family.
"Oh, 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 staying here?"
"yes"
A blush rose 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 was blushing.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't feel guilty, but he was a little embarrassed, so he paused and said with a smile:
"You haven't eaten either?"
"Why don't we eat together? I can take this opportunity to order a few more dishes to try."
“.”
Hearing Wei Changtian suddenly invite her to "have lunch together", the woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a moment, she nodded gently, pulled up her skirt and sat down opposite Wei Changtian.
"well"
"Hahaha, weren't you so eloquent yesterday? Why are you so shy today?"
Seeing that the woman suddenly changed from a "famous prostitute" to a "pure girl", Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh and made a joke.
After he finished speaking, he called the waiter to take the order, but the cheeks of the woman opposite him suddenly became hot.
Biting her lip, she quietly looked up at Wei Changtian who was ordering food, and immediately lowered her head like a thief.
The woman sat there nervously and awkwardly, waiting until Wei Changtian finished ordering the dishes and the waiter walked away before she whispered, "Wei, Master Wei, my surname is Gu, and my name is indeed Pan'er."
"oh?"
Although Wei Changtian didn't know why the woman suddenly introduced herself, he still nodded politely.
"Gu Pan'er is very pretty, what a nice name."
