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 386 Guarding Against Internal Thieves

Hearing Yue Jiuzai's words, Yue Jiuling was also helpless, but there was nothing she could do. She could only say, "Alright, then I'll handle it myself. You guys keep an eye on Jiuxing and Jiuyue, make sure they don't cause any trouble."

"Okay, I got it, bye-bye."

With the divided spirits not home this time, Yue Jiuling didn't want to wait for takeout, so she simply cooked herself a bowl of noodles. After eating, she cleaned the house, then watched TV, waiting for the divided spirits to return.

Near Yue Jiuling's home, a tabby cat was strolling down the street, followed by a man wearing a mask and sunglasses.

As the man walked, he whispered to the tabby cat, "What's going on? We've been looking for days. The child is gone, and even that stinky rat is nowhere to be found?"

The tabby cat meowed twice, then spoke in a human voice: "I don't know either. The last place I tracked the scent to was here. Could something have happened to the stinky rat?"

"Tsk, let's look again. If we still can't find it, then forget it. The rest of the grain has to be handed over anyway. We don't have time to mess around here."

The man said somewhat impatiently, "We finally found this food; we can't afford to lose it again."

The tabby cat chimed in, "Yes, it's one thing if the rats are lost, but the food can't be lost!"

The person and the cat talked for a while and then left.

Around 9 p.m., Yue Jiuxing and the others finally returned. They had been out all day and were chattering away when they came back, but as soon as they saw Yue Jiuling's dark face, they immediately fell silent.

"Heh, so you still remember to come back~"

Yue Jiuling leaned against the wall watching them change their shoes. Yue Jiuzai smiled at Yue Jiuling and then reported the day's expenses. She said, "They were quite well-behaved today. We only spent a few hundred yuan, and there were no arguments or fights."

"Okay, I understand."

Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "That's more like it, but my allowance for the whole year will still be deducted. I spent 100,000 on game equipment!"

Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, neither Yue Jiuyue nor Yue Jiuxing dared to utter a sound, while Yue Jiunian and the others simply smiled from the sidelines without offering any assistance.

Another day has passed, and when you wake up the next day, it's a new day again.

In the morning, Yue Jiuling hurriedly got up to get ready, then carried her small bag to work. Before leaving for work, she told the girls to behave themselves at home and not to cause trouble.

Upon arriving at the management office, Yue Jiuling clocked in while greeting her colleagues, "Good morning, everyone!"

Good morning, Jiuling.

Good morning, Sister Jiuling~

Little Cabbage held a fried dough stick in his hand, eating it with great relish. He said, "The fried dough sticks today are really delicious. I wish I had bought more."

"Really? Did you buy it from that breakfast shop across the street? I usually really like their food!"

Ye Dongfeng asked from the side.

"Yes, it's from their place. It's so delicious, I love it too!"

Mu Xiaoyi also came over and generously handed a carton of yogurt to Yue Jiuling, saying, "Jiuling, did you not buy breakfast again? Here, I'll treat you to this."

Yue Jiuling hadn't managed to buy breakfast today because she woke up late and didn't have time to go. So she accepted Mu Xiaoyi's yogurt without hesitation and said, "Thank you."

Bai Xinyu, who was standing nearby, kindly gave Yue Jiuling a steamed bun, which moved Yue Jiuling deeply.

Ya Zi came out of the tea room at this moment, holding a water cup and smiling at Yue Jiuling, saying, "Good morning, Jiuling."

"Yeah, you too~"

Ya Zi was in a good mood today. He saw Yue Jiu Ling and generously shared some snacks with her. However, just as they finished sharing the snacks, Yin Ni returned from the balcony.

As soon as Yinni returned with his phone, he said to everyone, "Everyone's here! Perfect timing, we have a new mission."

"No way, another new mission? What kind of mission is it this time?"

Upon hearing the hidden words, Ye Dongfeng immediately made a face and said, "I just finished one yesterday, why are we having another one today?"

Bai Xinyu also pouted and said, "Exactly, exactly, why does this never end?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do," Hidden said helplessly, "This task was decided by Lao Yu and the others in a meeting, and Lao Yu just happened to draw lots and picked us again."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling was speechless: "Ah~ No way, it's us again~"
