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...

After comparing the photos, he said, "The surveillance cameras in internet cafes are really bad; they can't even tell the height accurately. But the face shape matches somewhat. Oh well, just in case, I'll ask them."

He had already pulled out his 'work ID' and said to the muscular fitness instructor, "Hello, police officer, may I ask you something?"

The fitness instructor had come back to work early because his boss had told him they were short-staffed, but he was a bit bewildered by the situation. However, after looking at his boss and seeing that he appeared calm, he nodded in agreement to cooperate.

"OK."

Ya Zi was asking the fitness coach about things, while Yin Ni was scrolling through his phone because he was still discussing the yellow paper talismans with Xiao Bai Cai. Ye Dong Feng was also studying those talismans.

Five minutes later, Ya Zi returned to the two people who were hiding and said, "Alright, let's go, it's not him."

"Oh, okay, let's go then."

Ye Dongfeng was still looking at his phone, but he was quickly pulled away by Ya Zi. Ya Zi asked Yin Ni, "Yin Ni, should we go to the other two places to look, or go back and wait for Xiao Baicai's test results?"

"Let's keep looking, maybe it'll be one of those two~"

Hidden said, "Anyway, the results won't be out so quickly, we can go for another stroll~"

Okay then~

The concealment argument isn't entirely wrong. Although fingerprint analysis is more reliable, what if one of the other two is the murderer? So, they're now willing to kill the wrong person rather than let one go, and they'll just keep searching for someone to investigate.

Next, they were to look for the owner of a fruit shop, who was about fifty years old. Because he needed a business license to open the shop, he had left his photo with the business registration authority, which is why the police were able to find him using a similar photo.

As we approached the fruit shop, I recognized the owner from afar, because his middle-aged face was so easy to spot.

Ya Zi squinted at the short, thin, and frail human and said, "Um, should we ask? I have a feeling that he couldn't possibly jump through Zhu Botuan's window."

"Hmm, let's ask him as a matter of routine, although he doesn't seem like the most likely candidate for murder..."

Hidden didn't think much of the fruit shop owner either, but he still went to the fruit shop to ask the owner if he knew Zhu Botuan and if he had ever been to an internet cafe.

"Hello, we are police officers. Do you know this person?"

He concealed himself, holding his 'work ID' and a photo of Zhu Botuan, and went up to ask people.

This time, Ye Dongfeng finally stopped looking at his phone. He picked out some fruit, including a few oranges, and said to Ya Zi, "Hey, Lao Long, do you want some oranges? I'll buy you a few to try."

Ya Zi glanced at Ye Dongfeng, then snatched the fruit from his hand and said, "I'll buy it for you. You just stand there and I'll buy you an orange."

"Hey~ you old dragon, you're really something, taking advantage of me~"

Ye Dongfeng was both angry and amused by Ya Zi's words, but he didn't try to take back the fruit and let Ya Zi pay the bill.

The fruit shop wasn't big; besides the owner, there was only the owner's wife inside. Knowing that these policemen were all in cahoots, the owner's wife said while paying, "Oh, officers, I won't charge you for the fruit. Can you tell me why you're looking for my husband?"

Ya Zi put the fruit on the scale himself. He actually knew how to weigh things, so he calculated the price himself and paid the shop owner by scanning the code.

He said, "I will still pay you, but don't worry, it's just a small question, nothing serious."

"Oh, I see. Then I'm relieved."

Sure enough, Yinni finished questioning quickly and returned to Yazi and said, "Let's go, he's not. I secretly used a lie detector talisman on him, he wasn't lying."

"Alright, let's go then."

Ya Zi had already guessed that the fruit vendor wasn't the real owner. He picked up the fruit he had paid for and said, "Want some oranges? I bought them."

Yinni glanced at Yazi, then at Ye Dongfeng, and said with a bit of a laugh, "Alright, you guys bought this too, I'll eat it, give me one."
