My profession is too unique.

Chapter 55: The Tracking Was Actually a Plan to Attack Them!

"The crows have left their nests."

The rain continued, and Su Chen was still adjusting to his body, which had recently been promoted, when he received a message from Hu Xiang.

This means that Pan Yu broke his routine of going between two points today.

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and he immediately thought that the other party was going to attack him, but then he dismissed the thought.

Within the Ministry of Supervision, even if the other party takes action, they cannot escape.

"Could it be... that I'm going to meet with someone?" Su Chen thought for a moment and replied to the message: "Report your location at any time."

I glanced out the window. The raindrops and lightning were getting smaller, which only made the night more gloomy, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Su Chen put the Shadow Cloak under his clothes, fastened the mimicry mask, and pinched his face.

Although it was late at night, the headquarters of the surveillance department was still brightly lit and bustling with people. Su Chen mingled among them and soon disappeared from sight.

……

"Is this guy heading to the outer city?"

Hu Xiang was also wearing a shadow-protecting vest, with sparse raindrops pattering against it.

Holding a black telescope, its metal casing etched with intricate patterns that flickered intermittently, a blurry red outline moved forward in the shadows within the field of vision.

He dared not get too close, and it was only through this telescope that he could pinpoint the other party's location.

Fortunately, the other party was not moving very fast in the city. After about half an hour, Su Chen met up with him at a corner.

“Brother, this guy is definitely suspicious.” Hu Xiang handed him the binoculars. “He sneaked out in the middle of the night, and I wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for this thing.”

[Phantom Telescope (Tier 2): Through "Phantom Glyphs," scenes invisible to the naked eye can be seen.]

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

Su Chen was quite surprised when he took the binoculars.

Engraved weapons require engravers to meticulously carve them, imbuing the objects with unique abilities through inexplicable principles.

"I borrowed this from the city patrol guards, don't break it." Hu Xiang reminded him as he saw him playing with it, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He felt that Su Chen was giving him a slightly different feeling.

Su Chen lifted it up and looked at it, and sure enough, he found the clear red outline.

"Where is he going? Is he meeting with someone?" Hu Xiang wondered.

"I'm not sure, let's follow along and see." Su Chen wasn't sure either, so the two of them followed cautiously.

At this time of day, with the continuous drizzle, there weren't many people on the streets.

As Pan Yu moved further and further away from the inner city, the surrounding buildings gradually became simpler, and his speed gradually slowed down, as if he was trying to find his way.

Su Chen hesitated before asking, "Where is this place?"

"West District... um, near Daliang River..." The two hid on a rooftop, and Hu Xiang looked around uncertainly.

This name seems vaguely familiar. A thought flashed through Su Chen's mind: "Old Han!"

This is near Handa's house! I heard him mention it during our last chat.

Su Chen suddenly realized this and reacted abruptly.

They wanted to find out what happened the night Qi Chuan died, and even why the artifact was missing.

He was not the first choice; Zhao Xiong and others were the better options.

They are not very strong and are not well-regarded.

Once we confirm that they were at the scene the night Qi Chuan died, we can proceed with the interrogation directly and we're sure to get some results.

Su Chen's expression hardened slightly. He quickly sent a series of messages, then turned to Hu Xiang and asked, "Does Pan Yu's family live in an affluent area?"

"No, it's a bit out of the way, but it's still a villa. What do you want to do?" Hu Xiang frowned as he looked at him.

.........

"Nobody here?" In the quiet room, with the curtains drawn, Pan Yu's figure emerged from the shadows.

A short, jet-black blade twirled in his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on the empty bedroom before him, his brow furrowing.

"It's his day off today, where can he go?"

.........

"Brother, are you sure this is a task assigned to you by Inspector General Yuan?"

Hu Xiang's face twitched as he watched the other person tapping and fiddling with the surface of Pan Yu's safe, as if they wanted to take the whole thing away.

"Isn't conducting a covert investigation normal?" Su Chen looked up and retorted, "Otherwise, what did you expect it to be?"

Hu Xiang hesitated, but Su Chen asked, "Have you put everything away?"

"The main entrance, and every corner of the living room on the first floor, everything that needs to be placed has been placed. You asked me to buy these things before, were you already planning for this day to come?"

Hu Xiang's expression was complicated, and he finally spoke his mind: "This is burglary, plus murder, isn't it?"

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but it was impossible for him to get off the ship now.

“Wrong…” Su Chen shook his head. “Whether it is or not, it still needs to be determined by the Ministry of Supervision. I am a member of the Ministry of Supervision, and if I say it’s not true, then it’s not true.”

Hu Xiang stared in disbelief.

.........

As night deepened, the entire city of Nanfeng became even quieter.

"He can't go out to play. It's raining today. Where can he go? He doesn't have anyone he likes."

Pan Yu wasn't in a good mood after making the wasted trip in the middle of the night. The round trip on foot took too long, so he didn't stay at Han Da's house for long.

After waiting for an hour or two and finding no sign of the other party returning, they turned back.

"Forget it, let's try someone else tomorrow. That Zhou Li should be good. I heard she has a close relationship with Su Chen, so she might know more."

Pan Yu squeezed through the shadows from the crack in the door, his body gradually emerging. The surrounding darkness made him cough instinctively.

Today's target was Handa, but he didn't succeed. He didn't rush to other people's houses either. Being too hasty could easily lead to problems.

"Besides, she's one of the beauties in the patrol department, so I might as well enjoy myself..." Pan Yu walked forward, his footsteps still silent.

I didn't want to make a move against her; she was already a first-tier professional, and making a fuss would be a bit too much.

But the disappointment of returning empty-handed today piqued his interest.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks because the motion-activated light had not turned on.

"Did something go wrong?" he thought instinctively, but a chill ran through him.

A crimson glint emerged from the darkness, striking without warning.

Hu Xiang nestled behind the sofa, holding his breath for a long time before seizing the perfect opportunity.

His profession is Flame Lancer, and he is also a mid-level second-tier fighter. However, he excels in head-on combat and has a unique characteristic: as long as he has a spear-type weapon of the corresponding tier, his combat power will increase by a level.

With his arm muscles taut, Hu Xiang was already in the zone, gripping his spear tightly, flames swirling around it, ready to kill with a single blow!

The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, and the scorching heat hit us in the face.

"who!"

Pan Yu's pupils contracted, and he felt his liver and gallbladder tremble, but years of experience had made his ability to hide as instinctive, and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

Buzz--
The next moment, light sources suddenly lit up from all directions in the room, and the dark living room instantly became brightly lit, and the shadows underfoot disappeared instantly.

His invisibility ability failed, leaving him stuck standing in place!
The time lost had caused him to miss his best opportunity to resist.

puff!

The gun pierced his body, and excruciating pain instantly swept through his nerves, but it also stirred up the rage hidden in his heart.
