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...
"Okay, looks like I'll have to eat more later."
Bai Xinyu also said with a smile.
Mu Xiaoyi also sat down at the dining table. She first looked at the hot pot soup that was still simmering, then turned to Ye Dongfeng and said, "Hey, where are they? Where did Long Er and Yin Ni go? And why isn't Xiao Baicai here either?"
Yue Jiuling asked the same question, "Where are they? Didn't they say they were all back?"
"They're all in the morgue," Ye Dongfeng said, pointing in a direction. "Didn't you have someone bring a body back just now? Xiaobaicai said it was too disgusting and a bit scary, so Laolong and Yinni went to see the body with her."
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi understood. She said understandingly, "Maggots have already started to grow on that rotting corpse. It's normal for Xiaobaicai to be afraid. After all, no vegetable is immune to insects."
Yue Jiuling also said, "Alright, I'll go check out the morgue too. Call us when you've finished cooking the hot pot."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll call you when it's ready to eat."
Bai Xinyu was already sitting at the table waiting for food. She said, "Let me add some soup base first." As she spoke, she poured a few pork ribs into the soup.
When Yue Jiuling arrived at the morgue, she saw Ya Zi wearing gloves examining the head of a decaying corpse, while Yin Ni was examining the hands and feet, and Xiao Baicai was taking notes in a small notebook.
"Hey, are you guys done with your work? Did you find anything?"
Yue Jiuling stepped forward, patted Ya Zi on the shoulder, and asked.
Ya Zi had already noticed Yue Jiuling when she came in, so he didn't turn around and continued to examine the corpse's head, saying, "You're back. You brought this corpse back. Did you find anything?"
Hidden asked, "Something's wrong with this corpse. The time it took to decompose is wrong, and these maggots are wrong too. Tell me quickly what's going on."
Hearing their questions, Yue Jiuling approached the corpse and said, "Something is definitely wrong. Actually, I don't know what's going on either, because I discovered it while tracking that thing. I don't know why the people it killed this time turned out like this, when they were perfectly normal before."
“The time of death definitely doesn’t match up,” Hidden said, pointing to the soles of the corpse’s feet. “There’s fresh mud on the soles of the shoes. According to the police, it certainly wasn’t done on purpose. But the body is already decomposed to this extent. Something’s not right.”
"Yes, when I was tracking it, the body was found in the bathroom by the cleaning lady. At that time, it had a lot of evil energy on it. I also questioned the thing, and it admitted that it did it. The only thing that puzzled me was that the method of killing was different this time."
Yue Jiuling frowned and said, "Actually, you don't need to study this corpse much. Just find out the identity of the deceased. After all, that thing has already been taken away by Eleven. We still need to keep an eye on its accomplice."
After hearing this, Yin Ni sighed. He understood why Yue Jiuling and the others brought the body back. They wanted to find out the identity of the deceased, properly dispose of the body, and return the ashes to the family.
However, the manner of death puzzled Hidden, as he wanted to know why the evil spirit had suddenly changed its method of killing.
"Alright, let's extract the DNA first."
Ya Zi had already pulled a hair from the rotting corpse. He said, "This person seems to be an older woman. The way she died is indeed a bit strange, but the murderer has been caught, so we can rest easy. Come on, Xiao Baicai, let's take the hair to the instrument first."
Xiao Baicai carefully took the hair with a tissue. Although he was afraid of maggots, he could accept hair, so he quickly took the hair to the laboratory next door.
After seeing the little cabbage leave, Ya Zi looked at the tiny, still wriggling maggots and said, "The timing of these maggots is also wrong, but we don't need to investigate this for now, so let's leave it alone."
Hidden had already taken off his gloves. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go check out the lab first."
He was about to head towards the lab when he heard Bai Xinyu's loud voice.
Bai Xinyu stood at the door of the morgue and called out, "Everyone, it's time to eat! Let's go!"
