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 508 Something's Wrong

Chapter 508:

Xiao Jiu had no good feelings towards this murderer. After hearing Yue Jiuxing's 'truth', she directly said that the ghost should kill the murderer. Anyway, this kind of person was no good, and it would be best to pay for the blood debt.

After Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue reunited, they returned to their seats. Because the murderer had been chased by the ghost and was terrified, he went directly to the flight attendants to turn himself in and handed over all the stolen money, asking them to protect him.

Unfortunately, even though he turned himself in, the flight attendants couldn't see the ghost he described, so they could only restrain him and wait for the police to arrive.

Half an hour passed quickly. After arriving at the next station, the police came and took the murderer away. Passengers who were getting off the train packed their belongings and left. Those who did not need to transfer were discussing the murderer who had just turned himself in in the carriage.

"Oh dear, this guy really deserves it. He's capable of murder and robbery, and then he claims to have seen ghosts and demands protection. I bet the person he killed is coming back for him. This is karma!"

Passenger A discussed the murderer with a look of disgust.

Passenger B chimed in, "That's right, that's right, he deserved it!"

Passenger C added, "Yes, I just heard that the person he killed was his fellow villager, who used to help him a lot. I never thought he would repay kindness with enmity and kill his fellow villager for money. He's a real beast!"

"That's right. So, people should avoid doing bad things, because there will be consequences."

The last passenger, Ding, pointed to the top of his head and said.

Amidst everyone's discussion, the big boss and Sister Qing got off the train with their luggage. Xiao Jiu didn't need to transfer stations, but since the big boss had said that if Xiao Jiu didn't have a job, she could come with him, Xiao Jiu, who was unemployed, got off the train with him.

Seeing them get off the bus, Yue Jiuyue waved to them and said, "Keep in touch sometime, drive carefully, bye~"

"You too, bye-bye~"

Sister Qing waved to them as well.

After all the passengers disembarked, the train continued its journey. As Yue Jiuyue walked back to her seat, she asked Yue Jiuxing behind her, "Didn't you get charged?"

“No,” Yue Jiuxing knew she was asking about helping the ghost enhance its abilities without charging it. She shook her head and said, “I saw that the sky was quite pitiful, so I didn’t mention charging it.”

"Okay, then let's just say we did a good deed."

Yue Jiuyue returned to her sleeper berth and said, "It's three o'clock now. We'll be changing stations during the day, so let's rest first."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

The moon, having climbed the mountain, has gone to bed and is about to rest.

...

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yue Jiuling got up. She first got herself ready, and then, taking advantage of the early hour, made breakfast. After eating breakfast, she hurriedly ran to work.

"I'm going to work now. There's breakfast on the table; you can eat it yourselves when you get up."

Yue Jiuling called out from the doorway and then went out.

When we arrived at the management office, everyone was gradually arriving at the office.

While Yinni was asking the police for clues, Ye Dongfeng was watching the video again, reviewing the footage the police had recorded outside the alley.

Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi were discussing whether or not to perform a soul-summoning ritual. One of them said that the soul-summoning ritual seemed to be of little use; at most, it could reveal what the deceased had talked about with the murderer before he died.

Another theory suggests that searching for the soul might reveal something, perhaps indicating a past grudge between the deceased and the murderer.

Xiao Baicai was typing away at the computer, preparing the attendance report for the month. Actually, this wasn't something he was supposed to do; it was usually Director Yu who did it. But Director Yu wasn't here now, and he was too free, so the office had Xiao Baicai do the reports.

Seeing that everyone seemed very busy, Yue Jiuling turned on her computer and asked, "Any clues today?"

"No, I think this case is a bit troublesome, and I don't even know how to investigate it."

Bai Xinyu said, "I asked the family members, and they all said they didn't know the murderer. The surveillance footage didn't show anything either. Xiaoyi suggested a spirit summoning ritual, but I don't think it's necessary."

"I think we could try asking the spirit; maybe the deceased can tell us something."

Mu Xiaoyi still wanted to summon the spirit: "Although everyone says that the murderer should not know the deceased, I still think they should know each other. You could say that the murderer may have come specifically to find the deceased."

Why do you think the killer specifically came to find the victim?

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Yue Jiuling asked curiously.

"Actually, at first I thought it might be a coincidence that the murderer entered the fried chicken shop, but just now after I looked at the shops near the fried chicken shop, I felt something was wrong."

Mu Xiaoyi pointed to her computer and said, "There are actually three similar shops near this fried chicken shop, and one of them is right across from the alley where she disappeared. If the murderer just wanted to eat fried chicken randomly, wouldn't it have been more convenient for her to come out of the alley and go directly to the other side? Why did she go to the victim's shop in particular?"

"Oh, that's true. But didn't she go in with those girls in the end? Could it be that she went to the deceased's shop to eat with those girls? Like they said, eating alone was too boring, so she wanted to eat with others?"
