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 467 Beaten at Night

"No way, a new case already? What kind of case is it this time?"

Upon hearing Yin Ni's words, Bai Xinyu immediately stood up and asked, "Could it be that they're going to catch some kind of animal again?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time. It's just dealing with some minor issues."

Hiding his phone, he said, "Let's go, let's go to the police station to find Lao Cai first."

"Go find Lao Cai, then I'll probably know what it's about."

Upon hearing Yinni's words, Ye Dongfeng immediately understood that Lao Cai had probably asked them for help, so he said, "Alright, let's go."

Yue Jiuling also got up and said, "Oh dear, I don't know if I have to work overtime. Honestly, I just hope I can leave work on time today."

Mu Xiaoyi followed behind Ye Dongfeng, holding an opened carton of milk in her hand. However, she was walking in a bit of a hurry and bumped into Ye Dongfeng's back. "Oh, I'm sorry, Dongfeng, could you hold the milk for me? I'll get you a tissue to wipe it off."

Ye Dongfeng, who was covered in milk after being bumped, was speechless. Holding Mu Xiaoyi's milk, he said, "What's your hurry? You bumped into me. Honestly."

"Hehe, I just wanted to go out and come back as soon as possible."

Mu Xiaoyi said shyly.

Ya Zi walked beside Yue Jiuling. Seeing Ye Dongfeng and the other two still dawdling behind, he said, "You two hurry up, we're leaving."

"Here it comes!"

Mu Xiaoyi quickly tossed the tissues in her hand to Ye Dongfeng, then took her milk and followed the group.

Hidden was already in the parking lot downstairs. Holding the car keys, he said, "Let's just drive one car. Lao Cai said the person who reported the case said that he was always being beaten at home, and he would be woken up in the middle of the night by the beating, but he couldn't catch the person, so he called the police and even installed surveillance cameras at home, but he still couldn't catch the person, so Lao Cai came to us."

"Um, going to beat someone up late at night, isn't that something a mischievous kid often does? Could it be that a mischievous kid broke into that person's house?"

Mu Xiaoyi frowned and said, "Why don't we just go to the house of the person who reported the crime? Why bother going to see Lao Cai again?"

"We need to find Lao Cai first, because I don't know where the person who reported the case lives."

After everyone had boarded the bus, he said, "Actually, I also suspected it might be a mischievous ghost, but since I haven't seen if it is, I can't make any wild guesses."

"Alright, let's go find Old Cai first."

Mischievous ghosts are actually a type of ghost that loves to play pranks. They often go to people's homes to tease them; they are very mischievous and naughty ghosts. However, they generally don't do anything really bad, so when the management catches them, they are usually locked up for a while, educated, and then released.

The car arrived at the police station quickly, and Lao Cai was already waiting to greet them at the entrance when they got out.

"Hey, you're finally here. Come in quickly. You don't know, when that couple came to report the crime, they looked like they hadn't slept for days. Their dark circles were so bad, tsk tsk, they looked terrible."

"So what happened? Tell me first."

Ye Dongfeng saw Lao Cai and pulled him aside to ask about the case.

Old Cai took out his phone and showed them the video, saying, "This is the surveillance camera they installed at home. It was at night. Recently, when they're at home, they keep getting beaten up for some reason, on their bodies, heads, and stuff, but they can't catch who it is. And the beatings always happen at night. Come on, take a look."

Lao Cai opened the video. In the video, a couple was sleeping, but for some reason they suddenly woke up, as if they had been woken up by someone. The movement of getting up was also very loud.

"Um, this is definitely not something done by humans."

After seeing the video, Mu Xiaoyi said to Yinni, puzzled, "But why is this old woman being a troublemaker? Beating people up late at night, is it really that fun?"

"I don't know. It seems we'll only know after we arrest her."

He frowned and said, "I am hiding."

In the video, they didn't actually see anything like Lao Cai; instead, they saw an old woman inside.

Moreover, the old woman looked very fierce. After the woman fell asleep, she slapped her and kicked her head. The man next to her also got beaten up by the old woman.

"Hey, why don't you let them take us to their home? They were beaten up late at night, it really must have been terrible."

Yue Jiuling also saw the video. She said, "Imagine being woken up while you're sleeping soundly. That feeling isn't pleasant. By the way, didn't they ever think about moving away?"

"Yes, but even if you move away, it's the same; you'll still get beaten up."

As he spoke, Lao Cai led them into the police station. He pointed to a couple with very dark circles under their eyes and said, "You should talk to them."

When the couple saw so many people come in, they quickly stood up. The man looked at everyone with a puzzled expression and asked, "Officer, who are these people...?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you. These are the experts I found for you. You suspected there was something evil in your house, right? They are experts in this field."

After finishing his story, Lao Cai added mysteriously, "By the way, don't tell anyone about these experts."

Seeing Lao Cai's expression and hearing what he said, the couple understood what was going on, and nodded to say they knew and would keep it a secret.
