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 350 Huang Jian Disappears

"Tch, I can guess without even thinking that your dorm is probably similar to this place."

Yue Jiuling laughed at Ya Zi.

Ya Zi didn't argue when he was laughed at; he just gave an awkward laugh.

"Alright, forget about our dorm situation, let's try the soul-summoning first."

Ya Zi circled around 303, then prepared to summon Zhu Botuan's soul. Celestial masters in the human world usually use the deceased's clothes or birth date to summon the soul, and Ya Zi's method was similar. However, he first sensed the surroundings in the dormitory, then stood at the door with the deceased's clothes and made a strange gesture before starting the summoning.

Yue Jiuling couldn't understand his method of summoning souls, but she knew he had his own way, so she didn't disturb him and just stood aside and watched quietly.

Suddenly, just as Ya Zi was concentrating on his work, both of their phones rang at the same time—it was a notification sound for received messages.

Yue Jiuling opened her phone and saw that it was a message from the work group, and the person who sent the message was the Hidden One who went to Huang Jian's house.

The message sent by the hidden person was not good news, because he only sent one sentence: Oh no, Huang Jian has also disappeared.

"What the heck? Huang Jian has also disappeared?"

When Mu Xiaoyi received the message, she was washing clothes by the sink. She had just eaten a bag of Huang Xiaojin's spicy strips and accidentally got chili oil on her clothes. She didn't have time to read the message when she received it, so she asked Huang Xiaojin to open her phone and read it to her.

"Sister Xiaoyi, Huang Jian has also disappeared? Really?"

Holding a cell phone in her left hand and a bag of spicy snacks in her right, Huang Xiaojin exclaimed in shock, "Zhu Botuan is dead, and his deskmate has disappeared too! This is truly terrifying!"

Lanlan and Xiaomeng, who were outside the bathroom, were also terrified when they heard this. Xiaomeng kept saying, "This must have been done by the Ouija board. We're doomed. Some of them are dead, and some have disappeared. Will it be our turn soon?"

"Oh my god, I'm so scared! Xiao Jin, cousin, please save us!"

Lanlan also cried out in terror.

Mu Xiaoyi had already washed and wrung out her clothes. She said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm here. Nothing will happen tonight."

Ya Zi stood in the boys' dormitory for three minutes, but failed to summon any spirits. He scrolled through the messages on his phone in disappointment and said, "Damn it, not only can I not summon Zhu Botuan's spirit here, but I can't even find ordinary wandering ghosts. What the hell? This school is too clean!"

Yue Jiuling frowned and looked at Ya Zi, saying, "We can't summon the soul. Actually, I had a premonition about this situation. In that case, why don't we go to Huang Jian's house and meet up with Yin Ni?"

"Well, it's alright then, but this disappearance... it seems the child's chances of survival are slim."

Ya Zi looked at his phone and said, "Right, let's ask Dongfeng if they've made any discoveries."

"Can."

Yue Jiuling tagged Ye Dongfeng in the work group, asking if he had found anything at the lake. Ye Dongfeng quickly replied, but the answer was also that he hadn't found anything.

"Oh ho, Dongfeng also said that they couldn't find any useful clues by the lake."

Yue Jiuling continued to send messages to Mu Xiaoyi, saying that they couldn't find the soul in the boys' dormitory and were going to find the hidden one, telling Mu Xiaoyi to stay in the girls' dormitory by herself.

By the time the two of them arrived at Huang Jian's house, it was already around 11 p.m. Because Huang Jian's house was a bit far from the school, they wasted a lot of time on the way there.

Huang Jian's family lives in an urban village, which is full of residential houses, and there are some farmland and crops not far away.

Hidden was already waiting for Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi at Huang Jian's door. As soon as he saw Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling, he waved to them, signaling them to come over.

"How is it? Has the missing person been found?"

Ya Zi asked about the hidden place.

Hiding his head, he pointed to an old street on the right and said, "Huang Jian's parents have already reported it to the police, but the reason for the report is not valid because the disappearance did not last long enough."

Yue Jiuling said, "The current regulations require that a person be reported missing for 24 hours before being reported to the police. It seems that we still have to find this person ourselves."

"Yes, according to Huang Jian's parents, Huang Jian disappeared between 8 and 10 p.m. They had dinner around 7 p.m., and after dinner, they went to take a shower. Huang Jian was the first to shower. After he finished showering, it was almost 8 p.m., and then Huang Jian went back to his room and never came out again until I knocked on the door around 10 p.m."

He said he knocked on the door around 10 a.m. He got straight to the point, saying he was a policeman looking for Huang Jian and that Huang Jian's classmate had been murdered. He wanted to ask Huang Jian some questions, and Huang Jian's parents readily opened the door and let him in to find the person.

Unexpectedly, no one was found in Huang Jian's room, and Huang Jian's parents did not see their child leave either.

"The child's father was just saying that he and his wife had been watching TV in the living room the whole time. The front door is right next to their TV, and they hadn't seen the child go out. But when we went in to look, the room was empty."

Hidden in his hand was an unlit cigarette. He felt restless and wanted to take a few puffs, but when he thought of Yue Jiuling next to him, he resisted the urge. His manners told him that he couldn't smoke in front of a lady, especially since Yue Jiuling was a monster who disliked the smell of smoke.
