After wandering around the kitchen, which was easy to see at a glance, Yue Jiuling went to the sofa in the living room. There was no TV in the living room, only a dining table and a plastic chair next to it, and that was it.

"Why are they so poor?"

Yue Jiuling looked at the house and sighed. She remembered what the landlord had said: Xie Sen still owed her half a month's rent. She wondered if the things Xie Sen left behind could be used to offset the rent.

With that thought in mind, Yue Jiuling went to Xie Sen's bedroom again. She searched on the bed and found a bank card. With the bank card in hand, Yue Jiuling left Xie Sen's house.

By the time we got back to the management office, it was already past 7 p.m. Xiaobaicai had ordered takeout for everyone in the office, so there would be food for everyone as soon as they got back.

"Hey, I'm back. Wait, haven't Hidden and the others returned yet?"

As soon as Yue Jiuling returned, she saw Ya Zi, Xiao Baicai, A Hui, and a few others eating, but Yin Ni and Ye Dongfeng were not there.

When Ya Zi saw that Yue Jiuling had returned, she pushed her takeout order over and said, "They should be back soon. You should eat first."

Yue Jiuling opened the lunchbox and said, "Okay, I'll eat first then."

While eating, Yue Jiuling thought of the fish she had bought at the market earlier. However, since there was takeout available now, she didn't tell anyone about the fish. She thought she would just take it home and cook it as a late-night snack. Anyway, she had already used magic to hide it, so it wouldn't spoil.

"Hey, Young Master Long, what did you find at the Spider Demon's workplace and home?"

While eating, Yue Jiuling asked Ya Zi, who, chewing on a rib, said, "No, I didn't find out anything. The factory said that the spider demon quit her job half a month ago and that they didn't know anything about her. I went to her house, which was in a very remote place, an old house in an urban village that she rented. When I got there, I found nothing inside. I asked the landlord and the people nearby, but they didn't know anything about her either."

"Oh, so yours is the same as mine~"

Yue Jiuling also told Ya Zi what she had found out today: "Xie Sen's landlord doesn't know anything about him, and we didn't find anything in the rental house. I only brought back a bank card, hoping to see if I could get some money from the landlord."

"A bank card? Even if you had money, you couldn't take it out."

Ya Zi looked at the bank card in Yue Jiuling's hand and said, "There were some personal clothes next to their bodies, but none of them had any money. Could it be a robbery? But why would a regular robbery involve absorbing souls? It should be that absorbing souls is the main purpose, and robbing is secondary."

"Yes, they really didn't have any money on them."

Thinking of the scene when she saw the bodies, Yue Jiuling frowned and analyzed, "The common point of the four bodies is that they were all dumped in places that are not easy to find: abandoned factories, sewers, garbage dumps, stinking ditches..."

“These places are indeed not easy to find, and even if they are found, the bodies are easily contaminated and damaged.”

Ya Zi nodded and said, "Well, actually I suspect they were killed at the same time and then their bodies were disposed of separately, but it's all just speculation right now, there's no evidence."

"Yes, let's wait for the test results."

Yue Jiuling lowered her head and ate her rice. She asked Xiaobaicai, "Xiaobaicai, how long will it take for the test results to come out?"

"Hmm, this will probably take another half hour, right?"

Little Cabbage, biting into a piece of green vegetable, said, "I checked before ordering takeout. There are still two results that haven't come out yet. Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe the results will be out when Hidden Bro and the others come back."

"Alright, they haven't returned yet, so let's not rush it."

Yue Jiuling thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what they found out. Could it be that they also returned empty-handed like us?"

"That's hard to say," Ya Zi said, raising an eyebrow. "After all, this case is strange to begin with. Maybe the murderer deliberately targeted monsters who had been unemployed for a while and didn't have any family members."

"Okay, you're right."

Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "This case is quite troublesome too."

“That’s right,” Ahui chimed in, “It’s made me afraid to go out anytime, for fear of having my soul sucked away.”
