"Tsk, that's disgusting."

Ye Dongfeng followed behind the corpse, covering his nose as he walked towards the morgue: "I wonder what kind of ghosts the Hidden Ones will bring back. I suspect they're monsters too..."

“I think so too,” Yue Jiuling followed, “By the way, why aren’t he and Xinyu back yet?”

"They should be back by now, right?"

Mu Xiaoyi turned to look at the window, took out her phone and said, "Why don't we make a call and ask?"

Just as Mu Xiaoyi was about to make a phone call, everyone heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs.

"I'm back~"

Little Cabbage peered out the window and said, "Hidden Brother and Sister Xinyu are back too. Hey, why didn't they bring back a corpse?"

Ya Zi was originally going to the morgue with Ye Dongfeng, but after hearing what Xiao Baicai said, he decided not to go. He walked to the stairwell and waited for Yin Ni and the others to come up. Not long after, he saw Yin Ni and Bai Xinyu come up, with Yin Ni carrying a small gray burlap sack in his hand.

"What is this? Didn't you bring back a body?"

Upon seeing the small burlap sack, Ya Zi stepped forward and asked curiously, "The body isn't in here, is it?"

"Yes, right here."

Instead of opening the bag in his hand on the spot, he carried it towards the morgue, saying as he walked, "It was a wolfhound spirit, probably around two hundred years old. It was found in the sewers, and the cause of death seemed to be soul-sucking. It also looked like it had been dead for a long time, and its body stank horribly. Because its teeth were very peculiar, the police handed it over to us, but we found moving the body too troublesome, so we simply turned it back to its original form."

"Tsk, you guys are pretty smart. We should have done the same thing."

Mu Xiaoyi sighed from the side, "Sigh, all four corpses are monsters, what's going on with this case?"

Hidden had already brought the sack into the morgue. He opened the sack, poured out the corpses inside, and said, "Yes, it should have been done by the same murderer. They were all very fast, so fast that there wasn't even enough time for them to turn back into their original forms."

The wolfhounds' corpses on the ground weren't very decomposed, but the smell was really strong. Yue Jiuling looked at the corpses and said seriously, "There's no need for an autopsy, right? The cause of death was being drained of their souls. We all know how they died."

"We still need to investigate; I want to know the exact time of death."

Hidden was already wearing gloves and had taken out a scalpel. He said, "I don't know who the murderer is. It's annoying that they're causing trouble at this time."

Ya Zi saw that Yin Ni was dissecting the body, so he went over to watch. He said, "The one you brought back still has some demonic energy left on him. It should be the murderer's, right?"

"Maybe?"

Hidden opened the wolfhound's carcass. He first examined the stomach to see how much digestion had occurred, then went to the carcass's feet to check the soil where it had stepped, saying, "We need to check this soil to see where it was stepped on."

Xiao Baicai had already prepared a tray nearby. Once the hidden person handed over the tiny bits of soil, it would be immediately taken to the testing lab for analysis.

"His stomach looks like it's digesting well, so he's probably been dead for about a day and a half."

After examining the wolfhound's corpse, Yinni went to dissect the fox spirit's body. Ye Dongfeng, seeing Yinni busy, also came to help. He did the same as Yinni, first cutting open the corpse's stomach and then taking soil from the soles of its feet for examination.

Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi also came to help, and in less than half an hour, all four corpses had been cut open for examination.

"Tsk, why do they all seem to have died at the same time?"

Looking at the four stinking corpses in front of her, Bai Xinyu covered her nose and said, "There's no way to tell the time difference at all!"

"Yes, if the food they ate was different, the digestion time would be different too, but their digestion times are too close, aren't they? By the way, should we check what they ate?"

Yue Jiuling frowned and looked at the snake spirit's corpse: "This guy must have eaten raw food, so his digestion must be similar to theirs?"

"Let's check together what they ate."

Hidden also said with a serious expression: "These bodies were discovered and reported by ordinary people. We need to catch the murderer as soon as possible to ensure our safety."

Mu Xiaoyi already had the information she had just found out. She stood at the door of the morgue and said, "Let's go, it stinks. Let's wait for the test results outside."

She then went back to her office and looked at the documents in her hand. She said, "I just found out the identities of these deceased people. They were all 'legal citizens' with demon certificates, had no prior criminal record, and were all between 230 and 250 years old. They were all young people."

"Tsk, is there anything else? Besides these?"

Ya Zi looked at Mu Xiaoyi and said, "For example, do they know each other? Or do they have some other relationship?"

"We couldn't find that, since they're not from the same race, so it's hard to check, and it's not registered in the records."

Mu Xiaoyi handed the file to Yinni and said, "Take a look."

Hidden took the data book, sat down in the chair and said, "There really isn't one here, and they're all single here. They haven't registered any partners or families, they're like solitary monsters."
