In the dead of night, with a bright moon and few stars, Yue Jiuling found a cemetery in the southern suburbs of the city. However, the cemetery was very desolate, with many graves and a poor environment. In the middle of the night, there wasn't even a gravekeeper.

"Tsk tsk, I guess there aren't any left here. I wonder if it's too desolate, there isn't even a wandering spirit?"

Yue Jiuling walked around the cemetery and then walked to the entrance of the cemetery, intending to leave. But just as she was about to leave, the lights on in a small house next to the cemetery came on.

This little house was originally for the tomb keeper to live in, but when Yue Jiuling came in, the little house was not lit, so she suspected that no one was guarding the tomb at night. However, she did not expect that the lights in the house would be on at this time.

Seeing this, Yue Jiuling decided to go up and knock on the door, and ask the tomb keeper if he could provide her with any clues.

'Knock knock~'

Hello, is anyone home?

Yue Jiuling started knocking on the door.

As soon as the door was knocked, a voice came from inside—an old voice: "Who is it? Is it so late to come and pay respects?"

The door opened quickly, and an elderly man came out. However, when the old man saw Yue Jiuling, he was a little surprised because he recognized her. Yue Jiuling was the same, because she also recognized him. It turned out that he was an acquaintance.

"You, aren't you the comrade from the management office? Why are you here so late?"

The old man asked Yue Jiuling in surprise.

Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "Oh, old man, so you're a tomb keeper? Well, I'm just doing my job."

It turns out that this old man was not an ordinary person; he was also a demon, and a pangolin spirit at that. He had gone to the management office to renew his documents before the New Year, and the person who received him was Yue Jiuling, so Yue Jiuling remembered him.

"Oh dear, you're working so late, you must be exhausted!"

The old pangolin spirit asked Yue Jiuling, "Then how can I help you?"

When Yue Jiuling saw the old man, she didn't stand on ceremony. She said, "So, have you always been the gravedigger here? Have you encountered anything strange in the cemetery these past two days?"

"These past two days? No, not many people come to my cemetery. I've been guarding this grave for over a hundred years, and I haven't encountered anything strange, not even a few wandering spirits."

The old man answered very honestly.

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling said disappointedly, "Alright then, you can rest first. I'm leaving. By the way, if you encounter anything strange, you can contact our management office at any time."

"Okay, I understand."

After questioning the old pangolin monster, Yue Jiuling left the cemetery and headed to the next one. She had actually searched two cemeteries and one abandoned grave that night, but still found nothing.

On the way to the next cemetery, Yue Jiuling suddenly received a new message in the group. It turned out that a mass grave had been discovered hidden on a hill in the western suburbs, and the soil in the mass grave was very similar to the soil on the soles of Huang Jian's shoes.

So after hearing the news, all the colleagues who were wandering around outside ran to that hilltop.

When Yue Jiuling arrived at the mountain peak, she ran into Mu Xiaoyi, who was also there. Mu Xiaoyi was holding a lab report and stood on a blank monument with a serious expression. She said, "Oh my god, everyone's here. Oh right, Zhu Botuan's lab report is out. Xinyu is still stitching up the wounds on the body and won't be coming. She asked me to bring the lab report to everyone to see."

Ye Dongfeng stood beside the hidden figure; he had just arrived himself. He asked, "What were the test results?"

Ya Zi also arrived. He stood next to Yue Jiuling, handed her a small apple, and said with a sly smile, "Here you go, eat it quickly. I just stole it from an orchard I passed by."

Then he asked Mu Xiaoyi, "What was the result? Did he drown in the lake, or somewhere else?"

Yue Jiuling smiled as she accepted the little apple, then casually took a bite, and looked at Mu Xiaoyi, waiting for her to give the result.

Seeing that everyone was eager to know the results, Mu Xiaoyi didn't keep them in suspense. She simply revealed the results, her expression not very pleasant: "According to the test results, the water contains urine, feces, and some toilet cleaner. So, you can probably guess..."

"What? How come there are still these things? Could he have died in the toilet?"

Upon hearing this information, Yinni looked incredulous and said, "Holy crap, how are we supposed to investigate this?"

"Exactly, it's easy to check the water quality in the wild, but how do you check this?"

Ye Dongfeng also looked embarrassed, and said with disgust, "My god, this student is so pitiful, how could he have drowned in the toilet?"

Yue Jiuling was chewing an apple when she heard the news, and her face showed disgust. However, she managed to resist spitting out the apple and turned to look at Ya Zi, saying, "Tsk tsk, this classmate died a terrible death~"

Ya Zi nodded in agreement: "Yes, but we're in a terrible situation too, because we don't know how to investigate the case anymore, and we still haven't found Huang Jian."

"Yes, let's find Huang Jian first. How about this, Xiao Yi, give the police the test results from the deceased's side and ask them to help find the places the deceased probably went that day."
