Seeing that Su Qing was checking the footprints, Ji Shuisheng and Cheng Yu automatically stepped back to avoid disturbing her.
Su Qing ordered the system,
“I want a reward.”
The system still owed her a reward so that she could use it.
“What reward do you want?”
The system asked her helplessly. Other hosts would take the rewards immediately, but his host kept them. He would even give several rewards every time she saved them. He was terrified that the host would not admit it after he gave them all.
“Give me a fingerprint scanner.”
Su Qing asked the system for special equipment for criminal investigation.
“Alright, the reward has been transferred.”
The system happily agreed. This reward was easy to obtain and would be immediately transferred to her account.
“You guys should go back. Only by being quiet can I find out the truth.”
Su Qing didn’t take out the device immediately. Instead, she asked Ji Shuisheng and Cheng Yu to leave with their men. She wanted to stay here alone.
“Can’t I stay with you?”
Ji Shuisheng was worried and wanted to stay with Su Qing. The great killing weapon was lost. Who knew what the person who stole it tried to do? Once that thing exploded, not even a Great Immortal could dodge it.
“No, I want absolute silence. I can’t even breathe.”
Su Qing chased him away without hesitation.
Ji Shuisheng blinked. Why did he feel like he was being despised?
“Alright, I’ll take some people to search.”
To prevent the great killing weapon from being transported out of the city, they had to patrol densely and not give them any chance. They also had to keep it a secret to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation.
Cheng Yu had arranged a dozen patrol teams to ensure that soldiers always guarded the city walls. Not even a fly could fly out of Mo City.
After Ji Shuisheng and Cheng Yu left, Su Qing was left alone. She took out a footprint and fingerprint detector and began to check. This set of equipment was the most advanced. It had its light, so even in the dark, one could identify the footprints on the ground.
Su Qing collected the footprints of more than ten people before she went to the door to collect fingerprints. She did it very seriously, like a skilled investigator.
There was a pair of eyes secretly observing her in the dark. He looked very nervous when he saw her holding a shiny thing and brushing the door with a small brush.
After Su Qing finished collecting the fingerprints on the door, he pushed the door open and entered the room. The killer weapon was placed in a secret pa.s.sage under the brick bed. It was located in a room on the first floor of the restaurant.
Su Qing sprinkled the ground with imaging powder. There were at least five or six people’s footprints on the ground. By the time the secret pa.s.sage opened, only three people were left.
She stamped all the footprints and went to look for fingerprints. People in this era did not understand fingerprints and prints, so the scene was not destroyed.
After collecting the fingerprints and footprints, Su Qing opened the tunnel cover and lit it up. There was nothing inside. She jumped into the secret pa.s.sage and collected the footprints and fingerprints first. After collecting them, she went to check the walls of the secret pa.s.sage.
After checking, Su Qing confirmed that no one had dug out the secret pa.s.sage. The person had walked in through the door.
After checking the secret pa.s.sage, Su Qing went to the hall to examine the four soldiers’ bodies. Cheng Yu did not send these bodies to the mortuary but let the coroner do the autopsy here.
Su Qing lifted the white cloth covering the corpses and saw that the four corpses were all blue in the face. There were signs of bleeding in their eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. They were poisoned, but she wanted to find out what poison they had been poisoned with.
After Su Qing’s medical skills reached level nine, she could determine what kind of poison it was from the smell and the blackness of the face.
These people were all poisoned by the Red Crane’s Head, but she still wanted to find out how they had ingested the poison. In that case, she could only dissect them to see the food in their stomachs.
Su Qing was unwilling to use the rewards stored in the system, but to find out who the traitor was, she still asked the system for special tools and poison testing equipment.
The system happily gave her three rewards at once. It felt much more relaxed.
Su Qing placed a searchlight on the body to get a better look and began to dissect it.
Suddenly, something emitting sparks was thrown into the house from the window. Su Qing was the most sensitive to danger. She flew out of the window as soon as that thing was thrown into the house.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the restaurant collapsed. The bodies of four soldiers were buried underneath. Su Qing was also sent flying by the heat wave of the blast. She saw a black shadow running away fast when she was sent flying. Su Qing quickly flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground. She chased after the black shadow.
“Who?”
Su Qing had just chased after her when she was stopped by a patrol of the Xiao Family’s Army. They pointed their weapons at her. It was late at night, and the loud explosion had attracted them.
“I, Su Qing, move aside.”
Su Qing sternly ordered the patrolling soldiers to step aside.
“Miss Su, what happened?”
“Someone wants to blow me up.”
Su Qing’s expression was cold. They would have been blown up into pieces if it was anyone else. This person wanted to kill her.
She pointed in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
The soldiers quickly chased him, but he was already nowhere to be seen. Su Qing looked around and realized that she had not gone far.
“Su Qing, what happened?”
When Ji Shuisheng heard the explosion, he rushed over. He was relieved to see that Su Qing was unharmed. He was afraid when he saw the destroyed restaurant. Fortunately, Su Qing was not inside. Otherwise, if she were blown up by the big killing weapon, even the Great Immortal would not be able to survive.
Su Qing said coldly,
“The detonator is still in the city. Someone fears I will discover the truth and wants to kill me with the detonator.”
While they were talking, Xing Ruhai also rushed over. He hadn’t had a good rest these past few days and had just fallen asleep when the explosion woke him up.
Seeing the ruined restaurant, Xing Ruhai knew for the first time how powerful a great killing weapon was.
“What happened?”
Qiu Yongkang also rushed over and implored Su Qing.
“You came so quickly?”
Su Qing looked at Qiu Yongkang suspiciously. His house was far from the restaurant, so he shouldn’t have rushed over quickly.
“I was halfway there when I remembered I had something to tell Shuisheng, so I returned before I reached home.”
Qiu Yongkang was unhappy that Su Qing suspected him, so he held back his anger and answered.
“What can’t you talk about tomorrow?”
Su Qing didn’t listen to him. She stared into Qiu Yongkang’s eyes, not giving him a chance to get away with it.
The last time he didn’t tell her that Shuisheng had gone to Tartan to look for her, Su Qing had become wary of him.
Who hated her the most in Mo City? That must be Qiu Yongkang.
Qiu Yongkang had personally seen her kill Qiu Yue, but he still acted righteously. If he showed hatred or anger, that would be a normal reaction, but he didn’t. He always blamed Qiu Yue and never complained.
Su Qing felt that he was very tricky. In addition, he took advantage of her absence to watch Luan Hong mix wine, which proved that he was scheming.
He had the chance to blow her up just now!
Qiu Yongkang was not angry at Su Qing’s aggressive interrogation. He said helplessly to Su Qing,
“This is mostly about you. I’m afraid it’ll be delayed..”
