I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 183 Performing the Ritual

When Yue Jiuling received Ya Zi's message, she was having a boxed lunch with Wu Jing. The boxed lunches were provided by the production crew, and because of the tight schedule, they were eating the fastest fast food boxed lunches.

Of course, the food in these boxed meals isn't very good. If someone doesn't like the food, they'll usually pay extra to buy other, better meals.

As a bodyguard, Yue Jiuling was not supposed to have a boxed lunch. However, a female celebrity who was acting with Wu Jing thought the boxed lunch was terrible, so she kindly gave it to Yue Jiuling. She then asked her assistant to buy her something else to eat.

So Yue Jiuling was able to get a free dinner without spending any money. However, while she was eating, Ya Zi sent her a message, along with several short videos and recordings of conversations.

At first, Yue Jiuling thought that Ya Zi had sent her a funny video, because Ya Zi often sent her funny videos that he came across. However, when she opened the video and saw that the person in it was Boss Xu, she knew that Ya Zi had found a clue.

"Miss Wu, look, isn't this one of Mr. Xu's accomplices?"

The first thing Yue Jiuling did after seeing the video was to send it to Wu Jing and ask her, "And they even talked about those documents, so does that give us evidence to arrest them?"

Wu Jing was also a little excited when she saw the video, because she didn't expect that Ya Zi would find these things in just one afternoon, and there was even video evidence. However, despite her excitement, she still shook her head and said, "Although there is video, we still need to find physical evidence. This Boss Xu is very cunning and probably has many accomplices. We can't arrest him without finding physical evidence."

Upon hearing Wu Jing's words, Yue Jiuling understood. It seemed that Ya Zi would have to work even harder to follow Boss Xu.

Meanwhile, Ya Zi was still eavesdropping on the conversation between Boss Xu and the coffee shop owner. This coffee shop not only sold coffee, but also other drinks and desserts, so while investigating Boss Xu, Ya Zi also ate a lot of snacks.

After chatting with the coffee shop owner for a while, Mr. Xu was greeted by another 'friend,' who turned out to be Master Li.

As soon as Master Li entered the coffee shop, he went straight to the table where Boss Xu and the coffee shop owner were sitting. Boss Xu and the coffee shop owner treated Master Li with utmost respect, and seemed to have great awe for him.

As soon as Master Li entered, he looked exhausted. Ya Zi heard him say, "Oh dear, why did you two invite me here? I haven't finished my research lately, I'm too tired. Just say what you need to say, I need to go back and continue."

After Master Li finished speaking, Boss Xu wanted to say something, but the coffee shop owner beat him to it, saying, "Oh dear, Master, what time is it? What research experiments are you still doing? We've lost all our documents. Aren't you worried?"

Mr. Xu also said, "Yes, those documents are very important. Master, didn't you say you would find a way to get them back for us?"

Master Li, listening to their conversation, calmly replied, "Oh dear, what's the rush? I'm not worried at all. Don't fret. I've been working on finding those documents recently. Just wait a little longer."

"It'll be a while longer. We're not masters. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we might all get arrested. No, I'm starting to suspect that the police are already watching us."

The coffee shop owner looked timid; he sat there with a frightened expression.

But *** listened to their words without any fear. He even said casually, "What's there to be afraid of? Don't you all have some big shots backing you up? Where are your backers?"

Boss Xu really does have powerful backers. He wasn't afraid of anything he did in the past, but things are different now. The lost documents contain extremely important information, so he's afraid now.

"Oh dear, Master, this time is different. I doubt even my backers can help me this time. You know better than I how important the contents of those documents are. If they're really leaked, we'll all die together."

"That's right, Master Li, you can't just ignore it and not help!"

The coffee shop owner echoed what Mr. Xu said.

After listening to their long, rambling chatter, Master Li finally got annoyed. Knowing the documents were indeed important, he said, "Alright, since you're both in such a hurry, I'll start looking for those documents tonight. You two come back with me now to prepare..."

After Master Li finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door of the coffee shop, while Boss Xu and the coffee shop owner happily followed him.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Ya Zi naturally wanted to follow them, so he asked the waiter to pack up the unfinished desserts and took them with him to follow Boss Xu and his group.

Master Li is now staying at Boss Xu's villa, so they went straight back there. However, this villa is different from the one they stayed at last time.

All I could see was a two-story building next to the villa, and many people were living inside.

The coffee shop owner rarely visits Mr. Xu's villa, so upon seeing this change, he asked curiously, "Hey? Mr. Xu, when did you get another building? I've never seen it before. Was it built recently?"
