Imperial Treasure-Chapter 900 - 548: Faith (A Sad Story of He’s Jade+)

If the target was Xiao Xianting or Sui Yi, then this person must have been nearby at the time.

Maybe just inside that house. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yhan Qingwu looked at Sui Yi, who shook his head, "I didn’t find..."

So there wasn’t a fourth person?

That makes it even more terrifying.

"Perhaps, the simplest possibility is that there was no problem with the phone contact, the person wasn’t disguised, but before the two of us opened the door and went in... that person hanged himself in the short time between answering the call and us pushing the door open."

Suicide?

Sui Yi’s assumption was utterly wild.

"But the degree of decomposition of the corpse..."

"Just based on what I know, there are no less than twelve drugs and secret techniques that can cause a corpse to decompose within ten breaths."

Sui Yi turned his face and said softly, "The reason I determined that this person committed suicide is also because of the location under the hanging body. The ground is dirt, and according to this person’s normal height and weight, the footprints on the dirt shouldn’t be deeper in the front and lighter in the back, and the depth is much greater than usual. Obviously, he jumped up to grab the noose and then hanged himself. If there were a second person who killed him under normal circumstances, given the interval of time, those footprints wouldn’t be so fresh. And if this person was killed on-site and then hung up to the beam without me noticing, the strength of this person would also ensure that he left no traces on the ground."

"So this is a suicide case?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Gong Jiu frowned, "Huh, footprints? But there’s no record of them here, and the police didn’t collect any evidence..."

Paused, she suddenly looked up, meeting Sui Yi’s eyes, shocked: "Someone erased this evidence afterward, and it was erased before the police forensic team collected it... But after you two found the body, only the police could have gone in, which means... this person mixed in with the police."

"Or, he himself is that forensic officer!!"

Gong Jiu’s words stirred everyone’s nerves; how could someone who was just about to meet Xiao Xianting and Sui Yi commit suicide for no reason, and decompose in such a short time? It only suggests someone is manipulating things from behind and even infiltrated the police to collect evidence on the scene...

Thinking of that scene, Su Zimu shuddered involuntarily, feeling the goosebumps on her arms. Yhan Qingwu noticed and said to Sui Yi and the others: "Anyway, the stone is gone, the person is dead, I don’t think we need to worry too much about this matter for now. Firstly, we haven’t figured out this person’s background, and secondly, the one behind it initially didn’t intend to target you two, otherwise, they wouldn’t have erased traces afterward. It’s clearly an unexpected move to keep you from discovering anything... there was no plan. So, Sui Yi, I think you should remain silent and independent."

Yhan Qingwu also didn’t want Sui Yi, who just got some peace, to fall into some inexplicably bizarre and dangerous situation again.

No matter how big the secret of the stone is.

This is also what Gong Jiu and the others hoped for, so they all looked at Sui Yi.

"Mm," Sui Yi herself didn’t plan to get involved, although this stone piqued her inexplicable interest a bit.

Sui Yi’s response made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, afraid she would get tangled in something as perverse and dangerous as Hellfire again.

"Speaking of which, the Hellfire incident developed very strangely. It cooled down inexplicably; you see the news online recently, almost all suppressed, only mentioned occasionally."

Gong Jiu lounged on the sofa, squinting with a smile, "The crisis management efficiency of certain institutions in the United Kingdom is quite impressive indeed."

"What’s impressive? These countries are especially skilled in this aspect!" Flower Demon scoffed, "But I don’t think things are over; they’re fermenting in places ordinary people can’t see~~"

And don’t consider how many massive forces have gotten involved.

Northern Ice Wolf Clan, Blood Rose, MEID, White Blade, Ghost Teeth, Military Intelligence Section 5, Imperial Guards, Hellfire, etc.

That’s enough to play three or four tables of mahjong.

"But letting it settle down is a good thing too."

Su Zimu knew what the Hellfire incident they brought up was about, but didn’t know Sui Yi was involved, so she just treated it as listening to the latest buzz online, even if she sensed some undertone, she didn’t plan to ask.

After all, the Rongwei Armor incident was already an exceptional case for her to question these confidential matters. According to the Su Family’s rules, the less involved in these matters, the better...
