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...
But after driving for another ten minutes or so, the car stopped, and Ya Zi saw the food street that he was very familiar with.
Ya Zi, who was sitting near the window, rested his chin on his hand and looked out at the surroundings, saying, "Emmm, so in the end we still went back to the food street?"
Yue Jiuling was also completely bewildered, because she thought that the A3 department would go to some other place to investigate the case, but she didn't expect that they would be brought back here.
While Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were still stunned, Bai Xinyu and Ye Dongfeng had already opened the car door and gotten out to find Xia Xia.
Bai Xinyu ran to Xia's car and knocked on the door, saying, "Captain Xia, are you sure you didn't lead us the wrong way? How did we end up in the food street?"
Xia was also a little puzzled, because he hadn't expected to end up here following the location and navigation. However, he still held up his phone and said, "There shouldn't be any problem, right? My signal has always been strong, and the location seems to be working correctly."
He was fiddling with his phone when it suddenly rang; someone was calling him.
As soon as Xia saw the phone number, she immediately answered and said, "Hello~ Is your address in the food street? What's the exact location?"
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Xia just hummed in agreement twice before hanging up.
Watching him hang up the phone, Ye Dongfeng asked, "How did it go? Did your informant say anything?"
After listening to the phone call, Xia Xia's face became serious. He looked up at Ye Dongfeng and Bai Xinyu, then let out a deep breath and said, "Let's go. The target location is in a restaurant. Old Liu took people to look for that restaurant a while ago, but they didn't find any clues then. But this time..."
Listening to Xia's words, Ye Dongfeng and Bai Xinyu understood that the restaurant had definitely been suspected before, but when someone investigated, nothing was found. It seemed that the restaurant was probably not simple and might even pose some danger, so the sudden renewed investigation was likely a precaution.
"It's alright, having a clue is good, at least it's better than running around like a headless fly. Besides, there are many of us, are we afraid we can't investigate a restaurant?"
Seeing Xia's hesitation, Ye Dongfeng was afraid that he would dawdle and the restaurant would notice, so he urged Xia to tell him the restaurant's location and name.
"Captain Xia, where is the restaurant? What's its name?"
Bai Xinyu also asked, "Yes, please tell us where the restaurant is."
“Over there on the street, I heard it’s called ‘Shi Ren Restaurant’. My informant says he’s still inside. Let’s go, let’s go there now.”
Although Xia had some reservations, he would still get things done. He got out of the car and called to his team members, "Get out of the car, follow me!"
After getting the restaurant's name, Bai Xinyu and Ye Dongfeng quickly returned to their car. Bai Xinyu opened the car door and said to her colleagues inside, "I know the location. It's in a restaurant called 'Shi Ren Restaurant' right in front of the street corner."
As soon as the people in the car heard that they knew the exact location, they immediately got out. However, when Yue Jiuling heard the name "Shi Ren Restaurant", she immediately turned to look at Ya Zi beside her in surprise, and Ya Zi returned her a surprised look as well.
Because they both remembered that they had once eaten at a restaurant called 'Shi Ren Restaurant', and the delicious food there was still fresh in their minds!
"Xinyu, are you sure the location Captain Xia mentioned is inside that restaurant called 'Shiren Restaurant'?"
Yue Jiuling looked up at Bai Xinyu, her expression a little grim, and said, "That restaurant, I ate there with Long Er before, and the food was pretty good~"
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Bai Xinyu remembered, and her eyes widened as she said, "Oh right~ that restaurant, you guys seem to have mentioned it to us~"
Mu Xiaoyi had already gotten out of the car, and she leaned over and said, "That's right, I remember now too, 'Eat Ren' (食仁) 'Eat People' (食人). Back then, we were saying how strange that restaurant was to have such a name. If the disappearance case is related to the restaurant, then according to the restaurant's name, what the diners eat must be..."
At this point, Mu Xiaoyi suddenly found herself unable to continue.
