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 353 Filling Water

"Hi, good morning everyone. By the way, why are you all so dedicated today?"

Yue Jiuling put down her bag, sat down, and asked everyone.

Ye Dongfeng, who was standing next to him, came out from under the table with a charger in his hand. He said, "Ugh, charging is such a hassle. Hey, Jiuling, you're here. You can't be unprofessional now. Today, we received a message from the police. They said Huang Jian has woken up, but he doesn't remember anything. He has no idea that he was locked in a coffin for so long, covered in talismans, and had a skeleton on his back. He only remembers sleeping in a room and waking up in the hospital."

"Tsk tsk, really? That's so troublesome," Yue Jiuling said in astonishment. "But there are advantages too. At least you won't have any psychological trauma. After all, if an ordinary person encountered something like this, the psychological trauma would probably be quite significant."

Hidden added, "That's right, he's better, it's just that we're in a bit of trouble."

At this moment, Ya Zi came out of the tea room with several cups of milk tea, followed by Bai Xinyu, who was also holding some snacks.

When Bai Xinyu saw Yue Jiuling, she said, "Jiuling, you're here. Come on, eat something first, we'll be going out again soon."

Ya Zi also gave Yue Jiuling a cup of milk tea, saying, "This is energy milk tea, one cup for each of us, we need to work harder later."

"Why are you eating so much at this hour? I already had breakfast!"

Yue Jiuling, holding a milk tea in one hand and a snack in the other, seemed puzzled.

Mu Xiaoyi finally had a moment to spare. She took the milk tea Ya Zi handed her and said, "Everyone, if you can eat now, hurry up and eat. We're going for a big checkup later!"

Hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Yue Jiuling became even more curious: "Hmm? Where are we going for a big checkup?"

"I just received a message from the police. They found that after Zhu Botuan left school, he went to an arcade, two shopping malls, and three internet cafes. We're going to check all the restrooms there later, so you know what that means~"

Ya Zi, biting into a durian-flavored mini cake, spoke to Yue Jiu Ling.

"Holy crap, really? How did he go to so many places? And, if we suspect he drowned in the toilet, why didn't we just go to the last toilet? Why did we have to go to so many toilets?"

Yue Jiuling still didn't understand.

Having finished his work, Yinni turned to answer Yue Jiuling's question: "It's like this, because the police found that Zhu Botuan was carrying a backpack when he went to those places, we suspected that there might be something in his backpack. Also, he went to so many places and came out alive each time. The last place he went to was an internet cafe, and he came out perfectly fine, so we still don't know where he drowned."

Therefore, I suspect that he somehow filled a toilet with water and then drowned somewhere else.

"Wow, that's a great guess too!"

After learning of their plan to hide, Yue Jiuling understood their mission for the day: to collect water from the toilets in the places Zhu Botuan had visited.

Little Cabbage was already feeling sorry for them while they were eating. Little Cabbage said, "Oh dear, you poor things. You have to fill the toilet with water today, and so much of it at that. Everyone, please eat your fill. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat when it's time to eat."

Listening to Xiaobaicai's words and seeing his sympathetic gaze, Yue Jiuling quickly ate several more bags of snacks, while also envying the clerical job, because clerical jobs do not require fieldwork.

Mu Xiaoyi also said, "Oh dear, this is terrible. By the way, I'll go get some sealed bags to divide them up for you. You don't need to put in too many, just enough for the tests."

Ye Dongfeng also said, "Don't overlook either the men's or women's restrooms, especially mixed-gender public restrooms. Although they are cleaned every day, the water quality doesn't change."

"Okay, I got it."

Bai Xinyu, holding a large sealed bag, said, "Just in case it leaks, I've decided to double-insure my bag."

"Hmm, I think I'll just use any bag to put it in. I don't want my bag to be filled with toilet water~"

Mu Xiaoyi said miserably from the side.
