Liu Qiao took the four people to the three willow trees in the distance. This place was hidden and nearly a kilometre from the entrance to the east of the village. By hiding behind the trees, they wouldn’t be found by challengers suddenly escaping the village.
Liu Qiao was thin, her height was 1.65 metres and she looked less than 50 kg. She was wearing a wide tracksuit and it seemed like her entire body would be blown away by the wind. However, her expression was calm and her eyes showed no fear or tension. They were clear eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Xiao Lou appreciated the cleverness and cautiousness of this girl and asked, “You asked us to come over. Is it to tell us a clue?”
Liu Qiao sorted out her thoughts and explained, “I first entered the village yesterday at dusk. I used the flight card to directly enter the village.” She took a card out of her pack and spread it out on her palms. “This is the flight card that I drew.”
The S-grade tool card [Bird]. The additional skill: Light as a Swallow.
After using the skill, immediately enter the ‘Light as a Swallow’ state and be free from the influence of gravity. Their body will float in the air up to 50 metres and can move through the air. Each floating time lasted for three seconds and the skill would refresh immediately after landing. Please use it flexibly and don’t fall to your death. For every growth in level, the floating time will increase by 1 second, with 10 seconds being the maximum.
Xiao Lou looked at the card description and said, “Every float lasts three seconds. Does that mean that in the absence of trees or other leverage points, you can fly through the air and land after three seconds? So you have to find a leverage point that you can borrow, jump to another place in three seconds, refresh the skill cooldown and continue flying?”
Liu Qiao nodded. “Yes, this card can’t fly long distances. I must find a landing point after three seconds or I will fall directly. At full level, I can float for 10 seconds and this is better.”
Her body wasn’t very good. It was thanks to this card that she successfully passed 2 of Spades’ Zombie Town and 3 of Spades’ Financial Crisis. In 4 of Spades, she could also fly with the help of trees to avoid the villagers.
Liu Qiao put away the card and said, “Yesterday evening, there were two challengers who rushed to act and disturbed Grandma Qin’s Tibetan mastiff. The attention of all the villages was on them so I took the opportunity to fly through the trees of the village. I wanted to look at the situation. Grandma Sun’s house was in that vicinity and I landed on a tree by her house. She suddenly turned and looked at me.”
Liu Qiao looked serious. “I suspect that the grandmother could see me.”
Xiao Lou wondered, “Are you sure she could see you? Maybe she has keen hearing and heard the sound of you falling into the tree, causing her to look in your direction?”
Liu Qiao shook her head. “It isn’t the same. Grandma Sun looked directly at me, which scared me. She could see so accurately, unlike the reaction of blind people. At that time, there was a pregnant woman who asked her for medicine and she didn’t care about me. I was worried about being found and immediately left with the help of other trees. In the middle of the night, I went back to her house. This time, I hid on the roof.”
Ye Qi couldn’t help saying, “You’re a girl. You were so brave to run back to the village in the middle of the night!”
Liu Qiao said, “I returned to the village after separating from you at the temple. Most of the villagers were asleep and the village wasn’t really dangerous. In addition, I have the flight card, invisibility cloak and map you gave me. In case of trouble, I could quickly run away. Thus, I had the courage to go back and check if Grandma Sun could really see.”
Xiao Lou questioned, “What did you find?”
Liu Qiao’s face slightly changed. “It was 3:30 in the morning and she was still in the kitchen making medicine. I clearly saw several medicine pots on the ground. Then I distinctly saw her throw some bones into the pot.”
Everyone, “………”
Liu Qiao’s suspicion that Grandma Sun could see was just speculation. Then she returned to the village at night and found Grandma Sun using human bones to make medicine. This was absolutely conclusive evidence.
Grandma Qin soaked bones in the rice wine jar in the kitchen. Grandma Sun actually used human bones to make medicine! The two old ladies behaved in a strange manner. In order to solve the case of the slaughtered villages, the investigation obviously had to start with them.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked. “Did you go inside Grandma Sun’s house?”
Liu Qiao nodded. “I used the invisibility cloak and there were 30 minutes of invisibility time. Once she finished making the medicine, I went into the kitchen to take a look. She had a large rice jar in the kitchen filled with the bones of the dead…”
Liu Qiao was white-faced when she recalled the scene she saw at that time. In the rice jar, the bones were densely stacked together and it was shocking. Liu Qiao felt a chill go down her spine. She hurriedly closed the lid of the rice jar and turned to leave, heading back to the west mountain.
She was only one person and didn’t dare continue checking. In any case, she got the clearance gem. The village was full of strange things and she just wanted to make sure that her gem wouldn’t be robbed. She would leave Liuxi Village after seven days and just had to mind her own business. She didn’t change her mind until she met Xiao Lou again.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other. “Group Leader Yu, this Grandma Sun and Grandma Qin are very suspicious.”
Liu Qiao was startled and looked back at Xiao Lou. “Your last name is Xiao and his is Yu. Are you Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang who set the world records in 3 of Hearts and 4 of Hearts?”
Xiao Lou smiled. “Yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xiao Lou. If I remember correctly, your sister mentioned that you are a student of the medical university? I am a professor in the forensics department of the medical university.”
Liu Qiao’s heart was excited but she was always introverted so she didn’t appear too excited. She nodded seriously. “Hello Professor Xiao, I am a freshman majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. I didn’t get the chance to attend your class but I often listened to my seniors talk about you.”
Xiao Lou nodded at her. “This is Yu Hanjiang. Group Leader Yu is the leader of a criminal police team in Jiangzhou. Ye Qi is a student at the conservatory of music. Chief Shao is the boss of a fund company he created. We have decided to upgrade the contract book and form a team after going to the main city.”
Liu Qiao, “……”
She seemed to have mistakenly bumped into a group of great gods?
Shao Qingge smiled. “Cooperate with us and you won’t suffer.”
Liu Qiao immediately nodded. “Thank you for taking me.”
Her nervous mood eased instantly. During this time, she had been acting alone and had a hard time walking in this strange world. Now she met these powerful people, including Professor Xiao, who had the best rating at the school. She immediately felt like she had a backer.
Liu Qiao pulled out her card pack and said, “My transformation card has a strong effect and might be useful. Professor Xiao, have a look.”
Xiao Lou took the card and had a closer look.
The S-grade special effect card [Twin]. The skill was called ‘Copy’. I
