My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Approaching Shadows, What became of the Guiding’s emptiness?

Fatty Sun’s smile grew wider, but he waved his hands repeatedly, “No need to be so polite.”

“Oh, and one more thing.” Fatty Sun instinctively glanced at the closed door and whispered, “Do you remember that incident when you first came to the Supervision Department, and someone entered your room?”

“Of course I remember.” Su Chen’s heart stirred slightly, wondering why the other party suddenly brought it up.

He hadn’t told Fatty Sun about the letter someone sent him a few days ago; the content was not easy to explain.

Fatty Sun then explained, “The Director oversees the entire Southwind City, but he didn’t forget about your matter. He specifically asked me to investigate secretly, and we’ve only recently found some clues.”

“Anyone who can avoid ordinary surveillance cameras is certainly not an ordinary Tier 1 Professional. And there were a total of thirty-two Tier 2 and above Professionals at the headquarters at that time.”

“During that period, only seven people were alone.”

“Two from the Patrol Division, three from the Investigation Division, one from the Internal Affairs Section, which is me…” Fatty Sun chuckled, “And one from the Secretary Office. Here’s the list, see if you recognize anyone.”

Su Chen couldn’t help but look at this seemingly obsequious Section Chief Sun. He himself hadn’t expected any results from this matter.

The list was handwritten, and Su Chen wasn’t very familiar with the names on it. The ones that looked somewhat familiar were the chief and deputy chief of their Patrol Division.

“If you don’t have any clues, then it’s troublesome.” Fatty Sun scratched his head and took the list back. “The Director isn’t here, and the City Lord is currently in charge of the Supervision Department, so it’s not good to continue the investigation. This is as far as we can go.”

“Brother Sun, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble.” Su Chen said sincerely, then brought up another matter for which he had come. “Brother Sun, I’m running low on Black Flame Potion and Aura Potion here. I’d like you to help me get some more.”

“Coincidentally, I made some money outside the city last time, not much, about twenty thousand gold.”

This was recently brought to him by Hu Xiang. The Azure Scale Lions killed outside the city had finally gone through the process.

Fatty Sun visibly tensed when he heard the first half of Su Chen’s sentence, but he relaxed quite a bit when he saw the savings card the other party handed over.

After a brief deliberation, he took the savings card and patted his chest, guaranteeing, “Little brother, don’t worry. If I can get it at sixty percent above the market price, then I’ve been wasting my time all these years.”

He naturally trusted Fatty Sun’s efficiency. Su Chen left with the copies, amidst the other’s warm farewells.

Just as he stepped out of the elevator, his Smart Bracelet chirped, signaling a message from an unexpected person.

“Old Su, I have an urgent matter for you. Give me temporary access permissions in the backend. I can’t go up to your floor.”

It was Han Da, a member of the Seventeenth Patrol Team, whom he superficially belonged to. They had exchanged a few words last time when they caught Qi Chuan, and this person was clearly a natural at making acquaintances.

Su Chen thought for a moment, swiped open his Smart Bracelet, and searched on the Virtual Screen, granting him temporary access permissions in the Supervision Department’s backend.

He waited by the elevator, and after a short while, Han Da came up.

“Old Su, waiting for me here…” Han Da greeted him warmly, quite surprised.

“What made you come looking for me?” Su Chen led him to his room.

“Tsk, the old folks’ place is really good…” Han Da looked around enviously and quickly explained, “I wasn’t talking about you, though.”

After closing the door, Han Da whispered, “The captain sent me. He told me to relay to you that someone is obliquely inquiring about the death of… that person that day.”

Su Chen immediately understood that the other party was referring to Qi Chuan.

After that day, Yuan Chenyang personally issued a gag order, erasing all traces of their deployment, and even Su Chen’s record of visiting Qi Chuan was gone.

That day was not their patrol period; Fatty Sun had arranged it temporarily, and it was already late at night. After the records were erased, no one would have known anyway.

“…Who?” Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

“The captain of the Third Patrol Team.” Han Da relayed Zhao Xiong’s words, “The first time, he noticed that the patrol airship we took that day had lost a section of energy, but the attendance record didn’t match, so he casually asked a few questions.” “The captain didn’t take it seriously at first, and brushed it off. But later, he secretly asked the captain if he was secretly selling energy. The captain immediately refuted him, and only later realized that the guy was probably trying to sound him out.”

“Patrol captain? Tier 1?” Su Chen paused slightly, then asked, “Whose person is he?”

There are factions everywhere.

Han Da seemed to have anticipated his question and uttered a name: “Deputy Section Chief — Pan Yu.”

Comparing it with the list Fatty Sun gave him, it should be him.

“Alright, I understand.” Su Chen’s face showed no discernible emotion.

As Han Da was leaving, he hesitated again, “Oh, and a while ago, when we were on patrol, we received a report in the slum that many vagrants had gone missing. One of them seemed to know you, and his surname was Huang…”

Their patrol group was quite surprised at the time, wondering how a vagrant would know Su Chen. After carefully investigating, they discovered that Su Chen was originally a vagrant.

Captain Zhao Xiong immediately reprimanded them severely, telling them not to spread this matter, and Han Da only brought it up because he suddenly remembered.

Huang Peng? Su Chen was surprised. The leader of the small group he was with before, he went missing?

Han Da added, “Also, the head of the Vagrant Bureau in that area, a man named Zhang Man, asked me to pass on a message, saying that the five hundred gold was his congratulatory gift.”

“Zhang Man? Congratulatory gift?” Su Chen recalled the man who had introduced him to Jiang He and asked curiously, “What did you tell him?”

“Just that you’re currently the Director’s student.” Han Da grinned, “You should have seen his expression at the time, how funny it was.”

“Haha…” Su Chen chuckled, and after a brief chat, he learned that Lili was already a Tier 1 Professional.

“It’s also thanks to you. That collective Third-Class Merit allowed her to exchange for a precious potion.” Han Da teased, “She’s been thinking about you a lot lately. Zhou Li is also quite a beauty in our patrol team.”

Su Chen joked with him for a while longer before seeing him off.

Click!

The door closed, and Su Chen’s face darkened. “As expected, they’ve started investigating the ‘Guiding’ matter.”

Yuan Chenyang and the higher-ups of Southwind City thought the Guiding was empty when found.

But the Mysterious God Cult knew that it was not empty at all.

Why did it become empty? Where did the power inside go?

This was a truth that not only Southwind City but also the Mysterious God Cult was searching for, and was even more concerned about.

Even if they didn’t know he had killed Qi Chuan yet, because of his entanglement with Qi Chuan, he was undoubtedly a good starting point for them.

He couldn’t be sure about the letter he received a while ago, but the additional information from Han Da almost confirmed it for him.

In fact, Huang Peng’s disappearance might even be due to the Mysterious God Cult secretly investigating him. While it might seem like overreacting, it’s not impossible.

“Pan Yu…” Su Chen mused. A snake at one’s side is always unsettling.

“Once the Snake Shadow Body Forging Technique reaches the Master level, the Riftwalker Warrior’s development progress can also be maximized. Then I can advance to Tier 2. At my current training efficiency, it shouldn’t take long.”

“However…”

After some thought, Su Chen opened his smart bracelet, found Hu Xiang, and sent a message. “Do me a favor…”
