Imperial Treasure

Chapter 451 - 308: Roof Panel_2

Be alert, highly alert!

The villagers who had been huddled chaotically in the three-story bamboo dwellings began to tense up...

As they watched Sui Yi walk toward Mao Dafeng’s home, Ying Panman followed close behind. Seeing this, she frowned and quickly stepped forward, "Miss Sui, forensic experts and lab technicians from the province have already arrived, they’re inside..."

"Inside?" Sui Yi asked lightly, which cast a suspicion in Ying Panman’s heart. Could it be that her target was also inside?

At the door, Sui Yi looked inside. Indeed, there were four professionally dressed figures in office lady attire surveying the scene, three men and one woman. One of the women was turned away from Sui Yi, busy examining the wall with some potion and test paper.

"Have you finished examining?"

Sui Yi’s sudden question made all four turn their heads to look.

"Who are you?" asked one of the men.

But Sui Yi simply said, "Come out."

Two simple words, come out.

Indifferent yet subtly compelling, the three men suspiciously yet unconsciously began to move their feet, while the one woman watched Sui Yi, her gaze filled with sorrow and loss...

Sui Yi also looked at her.

The woman looked at Sui Yi, then at Ying Panman behind her. After only a pause of two seconds, she said, "Beyond my expectations, the efficiency of your provincial Public Security Bureau has improved a lot since the past days... It also saves me the trouble of going out to find you."

These words were intriguing. Ying Panman frowned and sensed something, her lips pressed together as she tightened her grip on her gun.

Watching the woman approach.

And Sui Yi walked in.

Passing by the woman.

Just when Ying Panman thought to step inside.

Thud!

The door was directly closed by Sui Yi, and the latch was fastened.

Ying Panman: "..."

What is this situation!

The woman was also astonished.

Yet, at that moment, just as the door closed, Sui Yi looked up at the ceiling.

Through the dark ceiling board with slight gaps.

"Is it you coming down, or shall I come up to find you?"

There was no response from above, all was silent. But that was to the ordinary ear; to Sui Yi, she could hear heavy and eerie breathing from the very top.

Sui Yi no longer spoke, she just walked over to the stove and tapped on the surface, saying, "You killed Mao Ju, probably fearing he would reveal your secret. But killing others seems unfounded, perhaps murder has become a habit for you, or maybe some desire of yours is uncontrollable... What if I told you, your accomplice has been found, and soon all your secrets will be exposed. Would you then leap down to kill me... or take me as a hostage..."

No sooner had her voice faded than, boom!

The ceiling board above was abruptly flipped open, and a dark figure swooped down!

Plunging straight down over Sui Yi’s head!

At the same moment, Sui Yi’s hand pulled a long wooden stick out of the pile of firewood.

Unsheathe technique!

One step, momentum rises!

"Wind Evolution Blade Technique"!

In her hand, sword or sabre were all the same!

Wind Evolution Blade Technique, first strike: As The Wind Rises.

The dark figure was struck by the Sabre Qi, solidified like a blade of wind!

Rip! The tendon in the right leg was immediately severed, and blood sprayed out...

With a thud, his large body crashed to the ground. With a single roll, he sprang to his feet, hands clawing at the dirt, and charged towards the door like a wild beast~~

Seeking fortune and avoiding disaster, his first reaction to a highly dangerous opponent was naturally to flee.

With a swift grab, he darted three meters forward, heading straight for the fragile wooden door.

At this moment, Sui Yi was behind him, motionless, merely flipping her long staff and swinging her arm~~

Empty Mountain Flowing Blade, first technique: Empty Mountain Birdsong

Inner Strength concentrated on it, spiraling upward, friction creating a sharp, fierce whistling.

Outside the house, Ying Panman and the others who were about to break through the door only heard a shrill bird call, followed by~~

"Move away!"

Ying Panman quickly stepped to the side~~

Boom!

Man and door alike were blasted out before her eyes~~

Flung two or three meters, they crashed heavily onto the courtyard floor, thud!

Everyone cried out in alarm, many taken aback, while Tao Xinyuan, not far off, quickly held Xiao Dao aside~~

On the ground, the door pinned against the floor, was pierced through by a wooden stick barely thicker than a thumb, and it wasn’t just the door that was pierced, but also a person.

Was that a person?

His skin was a pale bluish color, but his hands were especially large, faintly resembling the paws of a beast, with very long nails.

His thigh was forcefully pierced through, nailed to the door, at this moment viciously staring at the people inside the house.

"Monster, ah!"

"So terrifying!"

"What kind of ghost is this!"

The people of Mao Bamboo Village were frightened, even the well-informed like Tao Xinyuan were shocked.

Nevertheless, they confirmed it was a person.

One by one, they pointed their pistols at him.

The woman in the white lab coat seemed especially composed, standing aside and watching, her brow slightly furrowed, though she still looked towards the person walking out of the house.

That stick~~ did she thrust it in?

As soon as Mao Gang saw Sui Yi come out, he was relieved, yet now he pointed with a trembling hand at the person on the ground and asked Sui Yi, "Miss Sui, this person is... "

Sui Yi did not directly answer him but turned to Xiao Dao and said, "Xiao Dao, is it him?"

"Yes, it’s him... he was watching me and Granny through the window that night," Xiao Dao replied.

Old Lady Mao San, who was not far away, felt a surge of fear upon hearing this.

"Xiao Dao, really?"

"Yes, Granny, it’s him... He watched us twice~ Once he was perched on the window and another time on our house’s roof," Xiao Dao said.

The houses in Mao Bamboo Village were mostly constructed in a similar way, with wooden planks just above for separation. However, the construction was sometimes hasty, leaving plenty of gaps that could easily be moved aside, much like in Mao Dafeng’s home.

Hiding a person would not be difficult,

But imagine, a demon so ferocious hiding in your roof, watching you all night long~~

That feeling~~

Old Lady Mao San nearly fainted.

Ying Panman suddenly said, "The roof! He was always hiding on the roof, so when we surveyed earlier~~"

Was he also there all the time? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), recommend tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
