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...
Actually, the old man wasn't very familiar with Wu Zitong. He was a local and had always lived here, while Wu Zitong had only moved here a few years ago. At that time, he heard that Wu Zitong had bought the house, but sold it after living there for a few years.
"Oh dear, at first, I didn't know that Wu Zitong was such a gambler. He seemed honest and unassuming, and he didn't even have a wife, so I felt sorry for him. But then one time I saw several people come to his house and demand that he pay back his debts. That's when I found out that he had already accumulated a lot of debts from gambling and was being chased by creditors at his home."
The old man shook his head and said regretfully, "He was too good at gambling. In the end, he moved away after only a few days. I heard that the house was sold to pay off his debts."
After listening to the old man's words, Ya Zi said, "Is that so? He never came back after he left?"
"Yes, they never came back."
After telling the others about Wu Zitong, the old man was about to go back for dinner. He said, "I can't talk to you anymore, I have to go back for dinner, otherwise my wife will start yelling at me!"
"Okay, thank you."
Hidden, watching the old man return to the house next door, asked his two friends, "What do we do? Wu Zitong's address is fake. He was only fired a few months ago, but his work address is from one or two years ago. How are we supposed to find him?"
"Didn't you just call the police? They can't find anything?"
Ye Dongfeng asked Yinxiang, "If the police can't find it either, we'll really be in trouble."
"The police haven't replied to me yet. I just think it might be a bit difficult to investigate. Oh well, let's go and leave here first."
Hiding behind his phone, looking very annoyed, he said, "Now I strongly suspect that Wu Zitong is the murderer. Otherwise, why would he fill in his old address at his workplace?"
"Perhaps the new address can't be discovered?"
Ya Zi rested her chin on her hand and said, "By the way, have someone check Wu Zitong's account to see if he has any savings. He's such a gambler, I wonder if he'll still gamble after selling the house. If he doesn't gamble, then after working for so long, he should have some savings, right?"
"Okay, I understand."
Hidden started making phone calls again.
Unable to find Wu Zitong at his old address, the group returned to the management office. At that time, only Xiaobaicai was inside, as Yue Jiuling and the others were still outside.
After Xiaobaicai saw them return, she asked them if there was any progress in the case. As you can imagine, there were no clues at all, and they couldn't even find the third person, Wu Zitong, who resembled the person in the photo.
After learning the results, Xiaobaicai comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, let's wait and see what the police have to say."
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Why is the police so slow? If it weren't for the fact that they wouldn't let us investigate ourselves, they would have already found out everything about Wu Zitong by now."
Ye Dongfeng sat in a chair and grumbled.
Although the human and demon realms have cooperated, there are still certain matters concerning the human realm that the management office cannot access. Therefore, investigations into matters concerning the human realm must be conducted by the police; the management office cannot investigate on its own, otherwise it would be considered overstepping its bounds, infringing on the privacy of the human realm, and interfering too much in human affairs.
Therefore, whenever a case involves matters related to the human world, the management department can only send the human police to investigate. However, this also has its advantages, as it allows the management department staff to slack off.
"Sigh... there's nothing we can do. We have no right to investigate. We can only wait."
Hidden was also a little annoyed by this rule, but a rule is a rule, and he knew he couldn't cross the line. Otherwise, if he could, the management office would know everything about the human world.
Hearing Ye Dongfeng complaining, Ya Zi imitated Ye Dongfeng's usual cheeky manner and approached him, saying, "Dongfeng, are you bored? Here, Daddy will give you an orange~"
As he spoke, Ya Zi took out an orange he had just bought from a plastic bag on his desk and handed it to Ye Dongfeng.
Hearing Ya Zi's smug words, Ye Dongfeng glared at him and pretended to be angry, shouting, "Damn it, I'm your father!"
"Hey, I'm so much older than you, I'd be perfect to be your dad. Come on, call me Dad, and I'll give you an orange!"
Ya Zi was still mimicking Ye Dongfeng's usual tone of voice, laughing and teasing him.
