My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Tracking – They’re the Target All Along!

“The crow is out of its nest.”

The rain was continuous. Su Chen was still adapting to his recently advanced body when he received a message from Hu Xiang.

This meant Pan Yu had broken his usual two-point routine today.

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes. His first thought was that the other party was coming after him, but then he dismissed it.

Even if the other party made a move in the Supervision Department, they wouldn’t escape.

“Could it be… he’s going to meet someone?” Su Chen thought, and replied, “Report your location at all times.”

He glanced out the window. The raindrops were getting smaller, and the lightning was fading, making the night even darker, as if the sky itself was about to collapse.

Su Chen put on his Shadow-Hiding Clothes under his regular clothes, donned the Mimicry Mask, and pinched his face.

Although it was late at night, this was the Supervision Department headquarters, so it was still brightly lit with many people coming and going. Su Chen blended in and quickly disappeared.

…

“This guy, is he going to the Outer District?”

Hu Xiang was also wearing Shadow-Hiding Clothes, and the sparse raindrops pattered on them.

He held a black telescope with intricate carvings on its metal casing, which occasionally glinted. In his line of sight, a blurred red outline moved forward in the shadows.

He didn’t dare to get too close, and only through this telescope could he track the other party’s position.

Fortunately, the other party’s progress through the city wasn’t fast. After about half an hour, Su Chen met up with him at a corner.

“Little brother, this guy really has a problem,” Hu Xiang handed him the telescope. “Sneaking out in the middle of the night, if it weren’t for this thing, I wouldn’t have even noticed him.”

[Shadow-Tracing Telescope (Tier 2): Through the “Shadow-Tracing Carvings,” it can view scenes invisible to the naked eye.]

It was actually a Tier 2 item, and a carved weapon at that.

Su Chen was quite surprised after taking the telescope.

Carved weapons require precise carving by a carver, who imbues the item with strange abilities through inexplicable principles.

“This is something I borrowed from the City Patrol Guard, don’t break it.” Hu Xiang saw him fiddling with it in his hand and couldn’t help but remind him, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He felt as if Su Chen’s presence was a bit different from before.

Su Chen raised it to his eyes and indeed saw the clear red outline.

“Where is he going? Is he meeting someone?” Hu Xiang speculated.

“Not sure, let’s just follow him and see,” Su Chen wasn’t certain either, and the two followed cautiously.

At this time, coupled with the lingering light rain, there weren’t many people on the streets.

Following Pan Yu further and further away from the inner city, the surrounding buildings gradually became simpler, and his speed also slowed down, as if he was trying to identify his location.

Su Chen hesitated and asked, “Where is this place?”

“West District… hmm, near the Daliang River…” The two hid on a rooftop, Hu Xiang surveyed the surroundings, uncertain.

This name felt somewhat familiar, a flash of lightning seemed to strike through Su Chen’s mind, “Old Han!”

This was near Han Da’s home! He had mentioned it during their last conversation.

Su Chen suddenly realized this and quickly reacted.

To find out what happened on the night Qi Chuan died, and why the Guiding was empty.

He wasn’t the first choice; Zhao Xiong and the others were the perfect targets.

They weren’t strong, and people didn’t care about them that much.

As long as it was confirmed that they were at the scene on the night Qi Chuan died, then interrogating them would surely yield results.

Su Chen’s face tightened slightly. He quickly sent a series of messages and then turned to ask Hu Xiang, “Does Pan Yu live in the wealthy district?”

“Not really, a bit off, but it’s a villa. What are you planning?” Hu Xiang frowned.

…

“No one?” In the silent room, the curtains were drawn tight. Pan Yu’s figure emerged from the shadows.

A short, dark blade flipped continuously in his hand, but his gaze was fixed on the empty bedroom in front of him, his brows furrowed.

“Today is his day off, where could he be?”

…

“Little brother, are you sure this is a mission given to you by Inspector Yuan?”

Hu Xiang watched the other party tapping and banging on Pan Yu’s safe, looking like he wanted to steal the whole thing, and his cheek twitched.

“Is it not normal to investigate in secret?” Su Chen looked up and retorted, “Otherwise, what do you think it is?”

Hu Xiang hesitated to speak, but Su Chen asked, “Is the stuff in place?”

“Everything that needed to be placed, like the front door and every corner of the living room on the first floor, has been placed. Did you already anticipate this day when you asked me to buy these things?”

Hu Xiang’s face was complicated, and he finally voiced his thoughts: “Are we committing breaking and entering, plus murder?”

He had already vaguely felt that something was wrong, but now it was impossible to back out.

“Wrong…” Su Chen shook his head. “Whether it’s like this or not, the Supervision Department still needs to determine. I am a member of the Supervision Department, and if I say it’s not, then it’s not.”

Hu Xiang was speechless.

…

As it thoroughly entered the latter half of the night, Southwind City became even more serene.

“Did he go out to play? It’s raining today, where could he go? He doesn’t even have a significant other.”

Having run a fruitless errand in the middle of the night, Pan Yu was not in a good mood. The time spent walking back and forth was too long, and he hadn’t stayed at Han Da’s house for long.

He waited for an hour or two, and when he didn’t see any signs of the other party returning, he turned back.

“Forget it, I’ll find someone else tomorrow. That Zhou Li should be good. I heard she has a close relationship with Su Chen, and perhaps she knows more.”

Squeezing out from the shadow of the door crack, Pan Yu’s figure gradually emerged. The surrounding darkness made him cough subconsciously.

His target today was Han Da, and he hadn’t succeeded, so he didn’t rush to anyone else’s house. Being too hasty could lead to problems.

“Besides, she’s one of the few beauties in the Patrol Department, so it’s a good time to enjoy myself…” Pan Yu walked forward, still making no sound.

He hadn’t wanted to lay a hand on her, as she was already a Tier 1 professional, and making even a slight commotion would be problematic.

But the disappointment of returning empty-handed today made him suddenly eager.

However, he suddenly stopped, because the sound-activated light did not turn on.

“Broken?” he subconsciously thought, but a chill ran through his heart.

A reddish glow appeared out of the darkness, striking without warning.

Hu Xiang crouched behind the sofa, holding his breath, having accumulated power for a long time, and the timing was impeccable.

His profession was called Flame Spearman, also a Tier 2 Intermediate, but he specialized in frontal combat, and had a characteristic that as long as he had a spear-type weapon of the corresponding tier, his combat power would increase by a level.

His arm muscles tensed, Hu Xiang had already entered the state, gripping the long spear in his hand, flames circling around it, a kill with one strike!

The piercing sound of air resonated, and the scorching heat assailed his face.

“Who!”

Pan Yu’s pupils constricted, his liver and guts splitting, but years of experience had made his stealth ability instinctive, and he instinctively wanted to flee.

Buzz–

The next moment, light sources abruptly lit up from all directions in the room. The pitch-black living room instantly became brightly lit, and the shadows underfoot vanished instantly.

His stealth ability failed, and he could only stand rigid!

The delay had cost him the best moment to resist.

Puff!

The spear pierced into his body, intense pain instantly surged through his nerves, but it also ignited the hidden ferocity within him.
