"Oh, that's because they just went back. We're not in the same department anymore; this case is now under our department's jurisdiction."

Yue Jiuling looked at the man in front of her and saw the word "Manager" on his name tag, so she knew that he was the manager of this theater.

She said, "Manager, may we go to the backyard?"

After seeing their 'work IDs', the manager believed Yue Jiuling's words. Although he found it strange that the police had suddenly changed personnel, he still said politely, "Oh, I see. Well then, go wherever you want. If you need any help, you can ask our staff for assistance."

"Okay, thank you."

Having learned Yue Jiuling and the others' identities, the manager quickly left, while Bai Xinyu looked at the front hall and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this place is strange."

"What's strange about it?"

Yue Jiuling had already walked towards the backyard. As she walked, she said, "I felt that this aura was a bit strange. Did you feel the same way?"

"A little. To be honest, I feel that this demonic aura seems to come from more than one demon, but the demonic aura is very faint."

Bai Xinyu held something that looked like a pistol in her hand. It was a collection gun that gathered auras and also a tracker. She said, "I'll collect the auras here first and take them back to study."

“Okay,” Yue Jiuling said, letting Bai Xinyu collect the energy. She amplified her senses to perceive the theater and said, “I’ll explore this place too.”

The theater's backyard is quite large. In the back are some rest areas for the staff, a small garden, and several rooms for storing props.

Yue Jiuling took her phone and walked to the vicinity of the garden. Then, looking at a photo on her phone, she found a spot and said, "This is where the bloodstains were found. The bloodstains have been washed away now."

"This is the place. But since there's blood, it means that person must have been in danger, and it's very likely that they're dead."

Bai Xinyu squatted down at the spot where there had been bloodstains, then reached out and touched the floor, saying, "Hmm, it smells fishy, ​​but not much."

"This is the photo of Lao Wen. They haven't found any others. Sigh, how are we supposed to investigate?"

Yue Jiuling also squatted down and said, "Those people all went missing while working overtime at night. Should we stay overnight?"

"Stay here, you want to go fishing again?"

Bai Xinyu knew that Yue Jiuling wanted to fish for fish, so she said, "Staying is fine too. Lao Wen's people have never stayed overnight before, and the surveillance footage didn't show anything. They're all afraid to let anyone work overtime right now because of what's going on. Maybe we'll catch something if we stay and fish for fish~"

"Yes, that's what I was thinking. Let's go take another look around, and then ask Hidden for permission to fish here."

As Yue Jiuling spoke, she stood up, stretched her body, and rubbed her wrists, saying, "I hope someone who can beat me up and eat me comes, otherwise I won't be able to vent the suffering I've endured these past few days."

Because of the case involving the bombed body parts, there were no leads, which made everyone very frustrated. As a result, everyone in their department was having a headache and felt that investigating cases was a real ordeal.

...

Inside the management office, Yinni was still reviewing the previous surveillance footage, trying to find some clues. After watching many videos, he suddenly saw something in one of the surveillance cameras.

"Hey, Little Cabbage, come here and take a look. Is this the deceased?"

Suddenly, Yinni pointed to a person on the computer screen and said, "It's 7 a.m. The surveillance footage I'm looking at is from across the alley. Is this the deceased?"

Xiao Baicai had already moved his chair over to take a look. He squinted at the surveillance footage and said, "The clothes are different, but they do look somewhat similar. But what is he doing?"

"Is he urinating?"

Ahui also came over. He had finished cleaning for the day and was free, so he came to watch the commotion. Looking at the scene before him, he said, "I used to live in those sewers. I often saw people urinating on the walls. It stank!"

Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way.

Hidden in the surveillance footage, the person was standing in the alley, facing a wall as if urinating. A few seconds later, the person left the alley and went straight to a fried chicken shop to open the door.

"He's here to open for business this morning."

Hidden continued watching the surveillance footage, saying, "This is the video from the morning of the day the deceased died. I've watched a lot of videos near the fried chicken shop, but I still can't find anything."

"That murderer was too clever; he hid himself very well."

Little Cabbage added, "By the way, Dongfeng and the others have been gone for so long, I wonder if they've found any clues yet~"

"I don't know, let them look for it first."

They continued watching the surveillance footage in secret.

Meanwhile, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi, whom they were talking about, were wandering around outside. Since they had no idea where to start their search, they went to check the area near the fried chicken shop and tried to use the aura they had collected earlier to search for it. However, the result was the same: they couldn't find it at all.

"We've seen everything here, shall we go to that alleyway too?"

After wandering around for a long time, Ye Dongfeng was about to go back when he remembered that alley. So he said, "Shall we go? Let's take one last look?"
