Chapter 386:

"Wait a minute, something seems off..."

As Yue Jiuling shook her head in denial, she suddenly remembered something. She frowned and said, "The night before last, I think I discovered something, but I thought it was bothering me, so I think I dealt with it..."

During the two days when Wu Zitong was arrested, Yue Jiuling did hear some noises at home, but she had already dealt with them, so Yue Jiuling didn't know if the noises were related to the child.

"We just asked the child, and he said he came to his uncle's house with his parents. Later, he found a cat at his uncle's door and chased after it. Then he was captured and locked up, and a monster was put to watch him. But later, when the monster wasn't paying attention, he sneaked out at night. The monster kept chasing him, and he finally hid under the stairs and fell asleep."

Mu Xiaoyi told Yue Jiuling, "The child says he is five years old this year and his name is Chengcheng."

"Um, maybe it's because I killed the monster that was chasing it that day?"

Yue Jiuling thought of the small fireball she threw that night. Actually, she didn't notice what it was. She just thought it was disturbing her, so she dealt with it. She didn't even remember its aura, otherwise she wouldn't have been looking for monsters with the demonic energy that the child had picked up.

Yue Jiuling sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not worry about whether I really took care of him or not. Have we found the child's parents? And can we find out who took the child?"

"The child's parents have been found and notified, but the suspects are probably a bit difficult to find because we have no leads. We can only leave it to the police to look for them."

Hidden to the side, he replied, "Once the parents come to pick up their children, we can go back."

"Hehe, I feel like this case was handled the fastest ever, it was done in just one day, that's great."

Ye Dongfeng said with a chuckle.

Bai Xinyu also said, "Yeah, yeah, the holiday is back again~ I'm so happy!"

Ya Zi remained silent, but he did smile slightly.

After waiting in the ward for another half hour, the child's parents arrived at the hospital. They looked very worried about their child. As soon as they came in, they hugged their child and cried tears of joy, and thanked everyone.

Because everyone is currently identified as a police officer, even though they are not wearing police uniforms, the parents still trust them a lot.

"Thank you so much, officers! You're all so kind. If it weren't for you, my child would definitely have been kidnapped by those bad guys!"

"Yes, thank you, People's Police!"

The child in the bed, nestled in her mother's arms, smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you!"

After hearing the thanks and returning the child to the parents, the staff from the management office left the hospital and went home.

As Yue Jiuling walked away, she said goodbye to everyone: "I'm going back now. Call me if you need anything. Oh dear, it's already afternoon."

"Yeah, I was planning to order takeout in the morning and have dinner at home in the evening, but I ended up going out on a call and it was already the afternoon~"

Ye Dongfeng waved goodbye to everyone, saying, "See you later, have dinner at home!"

"Bye-Bye."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Ya Zi returned to the dormitory with Yin Ni. He originally wanted to ask Yue Jiu Ling if she wanted to have dinner with him, but he remained silent when he heard Yue Jiu Ling say that she was going home.

"Sigh, another day has passed. Old Long, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

While playing on his phone, Yin Ni asked Ya Zi beside him, unlike Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi, who could go home for meals during their breaks (after all, they were local humans), he was a demon from out of town. So, during his breaks, he usually stayed in the dormitory with Ya Zi and ordered takeout.

Ya Zi thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't know what to eat either. How about we have hot pot? It's getting cold now, and this will keep us warm."

"Okay, it has indeed gotten quite cold lately."

I pulled my coat tighter around myself; it was already November, and it was definitely getting colder.

When Yue Jiuling returned home, she found the house quiet and empty of all the souls. Seeing this, she knew without a doubt that the divided souls had gone out to play again.

However, Yue Jiuling wasn't as carefree as she used to be when they went out to play. She quickly found her bank card on the bedside table, took out her phone, logged into her bank account, and checked the balance. Only after finding that the balance hadn't decreased this time did she feel relieved.

"No, it's too dangerous to leave the bank card here. I need to put it somewhere safer."

Yue Jiuling wandered around the house with her bank card, trying to find a safe place to hide it. Finally, she spotted it under her bed.

After removing the floorboards and moving the bed, Yue Jiuling finally felt relieved. She patted the bed and said, "Sigh, you can guard against anything day or night, but it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home. If this house wasn't yours, I wouldn't dare to put it here."

With that, she went off to find something to eat, but despite ordering takeout before leaving the house, she only found a few empty takeout boxes.

"Hey, didn't you guys even think of leaving some food for me?"

Yue Jiuling called the other spirits outside, and Yue Jiuzai answered. She was a little surprised and said, "Huh? Jiuling, you're back so soon? We thought you'd be back late, so we didn't leave you any food. Hehe, sorry, we might be back very late tonight too, so why don't you cook for yourself?"
