Imperial Treasure

Chapter 453 - 310 Mystic Osteoderms

The bullet’s spark lit up the night, it was Shen Que!

This madman was actually sprawled on the rooftop!

Damn, the rooftop was swarming with mosquitoes!

His figure flashed, dodging~~

But what came from behind was icy and unmatched.

A knife hand strike descended!

Bam!

The spinal column... shattered!

Mao Yun lay flat on the ground, unable to move.

"Hit! Aiya, Miss Sui, you’re impressive!" Shen Que jumped down from the rooftop, blew on his whistle, and lights came on in the nearby houses, many police officers running out~~

They finally caught the guy, they were about to be devoured by mosquitoes!

The heavens have eyes!

Compared to the neither human nor ghostlike Mao Dafeng, Mao Yun was clean and neat, just like the most ordinary and average college student, nowhere near the image of a vicious, cunning, and cold-blooded murderer.

"Damn you, you no-good punk, you had books to read yet chose this dirty way of life, they were people from your own village, how could you bear to lay your hands on them!"

Shen Que had known before that this man, in order to confuse Zhang Wei, had killed someone he knew from the same village. How could such deceptive and heartless behavior be considered human?

He had a fiery temper and opened with a slap to Mao Yun’s face.

He didn’t care one bit about the department’s rules.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Mao Yun sneered coldly, "Read books? I graduated a long time ago... But what’s the use of being a college graduate? With no connections or a powerful backer, I can’t get a good job. I have to work for others, putting up with humiliation every day, worse off than pigs and dogs..."

He seemed to harbor a great deal of resentment, as Miss Sui glanced at his face: "Who taught you martial arts?"

Mao Yun really hated Miss Sui, staring at her with a cold gaze: "Who taught me, you will know soon enough. My master will come looking for you... It’s all because you killed his two disciples."

Two?

Mao Yun counted as one, but surely not Mao Dafeng, since he was not dead, and~~ the circumstances of Mao Dafeng were quite different from Mao Yun’s.

Could it be...

A fleeting light passed through Sui Yi’s eyes, as she took the provocation in stride: "I’m usually quite busy, tell him to make an appointment first."

Shen Que wanted to laugh at her comment, but couldn’t, because he sensed something unusual in it. Remembering the response he got when he reported the situation here to the capital, he couldn’t help but purse his lips, damn, it was that crowd’s business again.

However, regarding why Mao Yun wanted to return to his house, Shen Que had only been suspicious at first, and he worried that the man would come back to retaliate against the villagers, which is why he had brought people to lie in wait. It happened to coincide with Miss Sui pretending to leave, resulting in this successful ambush tonight.

He vaguely suspected there was something in his house that Mao Yun had to take with him, while Miss Sui was very certain. But Mao Yun stubbornly refused to say what he had come back to find, as if certain they wouldn’t be able to locate it.

Given that, Shen Que felt helpless as the night was so deep and even with lights on, searching was difficult, so he had no choice but to give up.

Thus, Shen Que checked Mao Yun’s spine with a palm, and it was broken, good, no need to worry about his threat for the time being, "Miss Sui, I owe you big time for this, otherwise I would have really struggled with these two murderers."

Miss Sui didn’t really care, merely asking: "The situation with these two is special, are you confident?"

"Yeah, someone from the Provincial City will come to take them... They also want a meeting with you."

"No need."

Refused by Miss Sui, Shen Que was not annoyed, just smiled, as if probing, "Then what is Miss Sui planning to do now.."

He wanted to ask if Miss Sui was going to search the house for that item. If it were someone else, he could have ordered the place off-limits, but Miss Sui was part of that circle, and seemed to be extremely formidable, so he had to be careful.

"The night is deep," Miss Sui said calmly, then turned and left.

Her afterimages quickly disappeared into the night, leaving no trace.

So decisive!

——————

Miss Sui returned to Old Lady Mao San’s house; Zhang Wei wasn’t there, he had indeed gone back to the county town with Ying Panman and others for resettlement.

At home, Old Lady Mao San and Xiao Dao hadn’t slept yet. Relieved by Miss Sui’s firm answer, both of them were comforted, with Third Granny even putting her palms together and chanting "Amitabha" several times.

However, when Miss Sui placed an irregular but oval-shaped object on the table, Old Lady Mao San was startled.

"This is...?"

"It seems Third Granny recognizes...," Miss Sui sighed softly, as expected.

This object was what she had found in Mao Yun’s house using Magnetic Sensation to search the entire place.

A natural Mystic Osteoderm, resembling ancient bones, but not large, about the size of half a palm. As she used Magnetic Sensation to probe, it was completely sealed off, not letting any magnetism in, but it seemed to possess some special power, a sort of extraordinary wildness.
