Chapter: 829
�Ah! So the assassin moved by boat. He would ride a boat and assassinate his targets whenever he would arrive at his destination��
�That�s right. And the three cities had one thing in common that day, the one called Xuanwu Merchant Group. They got down to each city and brought tea. Then they would depart for the next city.�
�So is the assassin using the group called Xuanwu Merchant Group?�
�Nine out of ten.�
At Pyo-wol�s answer, Soma felt goosebumps all over his body.
It was easy to explain, but it was by no means easy to come up with such a reasoning. It was also a method that Soma didn�t know how Pyo-wol came up with.�
No other person in Jianghu would be able to find the Xuanwu Merchant Group that the assassin used to travel so quickly.
It was a method that only the assassin Pyo-wol could do. Because he himself was an assassin to the core, he was more accustomed to the physiology of an assassin more than anyone else.�
He clearly knew the ways of an assassin.
This makes it impossible for any assassin to completely hide his existence before him.
Soma said,
�Then we should track down the Xuanwu Merchant Group immediately.�
�The final destination of the Xuanwu Merchant Group was Chengdu.�
�Then we can just run the shortest distance without having to follow the river.�
Soma grinned.
Going by boat will definitely be fast, but it�s not always the case. This is because rivers tend to twist and bend, and the speed of a boat is limited.�
In some cases, it may be faster to use the land route.
Since they already knew the destination of the Xuanwu Merchant Group, it was possible to catch up with them even if they went by land. Moreover, both Pyo-wol and Soma were masters of martial arts, so they have some good footwork. Their mobility would be superior to others.
Since the two traveled by land, they were able to narrow the distance with Xuanwu Merchant Group faster than expected.
The Xuanwu Merchant Group was staying at a guest house at the entrance of Chengdu.
When Pyo-wol and Soma visited, the atmosphere of the Xuanwu Merchant Group was chaotic. This is because as the merchant group was approaching Chengdu, one of the porters drowned and disappeared.�
If he had fallen into the water, he would most likely have died already.�
Even though he is just a menial worker, his death still gave the people a great shock. People were not able to concentrate on their work easily, and they had a bewildered expression on their faces.
In particular, the psychological damage of those who entered at the same time with the dead worker was great. Probably because it was rare to see someone close to them die.
The name of the missing worker was Tae Yongha.
The moment he heard his name, Pyo-wol was convinced.
�It�s him.�
He observed them for a while, but there was no particularly suspicious person among the people in the Xuanwu Merchant Group.
If so, Tae Yongha, who was presumed to have died from drowning, was the most likely suspect.
