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 564 Wooden House

There are many people raising fish in the south. If everyone were to search for fishponds one by one, it would definitely take a lot of time. However, since we know that there is a fish spirit in the fishpond we are looking for, the search is not so complicated.

Yue Jiuling arrived at the fishpond in less than half an hour by bike.

"Nine Spirits have arrived!"

When Mu Xiaoyi saw Yue Jiuling, she came out of the fishpond and said, "Hey, why are you so slow? We've all arrived, and now only Xinyu is left."

Knowing that Bai Xinyu was waiting for Lao Cai to deal with the body, Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "I went into the water and took a bath, so I was a little late. What's wrong? Did you find something?"

"There really has been a discovery!"

Mu Xiaoyi pulled Yue Jiuling toward the fishpond. She pointed to a small wooden house built beside the fishpond and said, "Those idiots are inside. Yinni and Young Master Long are inside. I waited for you outside."

"Has something been discovered?"

Yue Jiuling was pulled into the small wooden house by Mu Xiaoyi: "Is the owner of this place not here?"

"It's already this late, the master has gone to eat."

Hearing the noise outside, Ye Dongfeng came out and pointed inside the house, saying, "We just went in. There's a demonic aura in this house, and it's somewhat similar to the aura on those four corpses. There's another lower level below, which is blocked by a partition. Those people were hidden there. They can't speak and don't come out during the day. I guess the owner of this place didn't even realize that someone was hiding here."

Hidden also emerged, pushing out two smelly, dazed-looking people.

With a grave expression, he said, "They are missing two or five of their three souls and seven spirits. This one also had his soul absorbed, which is why he became an idiot."

As they were talking, Ya Zi pushed a few people out. He came out and looked at Yue Jiuling, explaining, "I just asked the fish spirit in this fishpond. The fish spirit said that these people were hidden here. The owner of this place doesn't know about it. The owner of the fishpond only comes here when feeding the fish. He doesn't come here at other times. So at night, someone comes here to feed these people and lets them out to roam around."

"Yes, and then they pooped in my fishpond!"

Suddenly, a male voice emerged from the fishpond nearby. It was the fish spirit from the pond who knew the management staff. He asked, "Comrades, are you going to take these humans away? If you are, that would be great. I've been smelling their stench for days."

"Um, we won't take it with us tonight, because we have other things to do."

Hidden said to the fish spirit, "If you really can't stand it, why don't you move?"

"Seriously? You're not taking it with you? Fine, I guess I'll just have to move then. Ugh..."

The original form of this fish spirit was a yellow croaker with very low cultivation, only a hundred years. He came to live in the fishpond because he wanted to find a place where he could eat and cultivate properly. However, it seems that he can no longer live a comfortable life in this fishpond.

Having guessed that its colleagues in the management office were about to start work, the fish spirit wanted to leave. When it was about to leave, Ye Dongfeng wanted to stop it, because he suspected that it was also a suspect or a member of a gang, but it was stopped by Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling.

Yue Jiuling said, "No, it's just a little fish spirit."

Ya Zi nodded in agreement: "Yes, it has only been a hundred years of cultivation. Moreover, I see red marks on its body, indicating that it has just completed its tribulation not long ago. If it had been involved in some bad things, the tribulation marks on its body would have been black."

Ya Zi had just taken a close look at the fish spirit and found that it had not done anything that would harm his own karma, so he let the fish spirit go. Yue Jiu Ling also knew how to see these things, which is why she let it go.

"Wow, Young Master Long is amazing. He even knew that it had just finished its tribulation."

Ye Dongfeng exclaimed from the side, "By the way, how come you and Jiu Ling are so amazing?"

"That's because you've lived a long time, so you know more."

Yue Jiuling touched her face and chuckled to herself, "Oh dear, I'm just an old woman~"

"Tsk, yes, yes, you're an old woman. So, old woman and old man, do you know what to do next?"

Mu Xiaoyi asked Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling with a smile.

Hidden in the shadows laughed upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words: "Yeah, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do but devise a plan to catch him?"

Ya Zi shook his head and said with a smile, "Since that person comes every night, let's set up a formation here and wait for him to come to us."

"That's also possible."

Yue Jiuling chimed in, "That person is definitely a demon, so Dongfeng and Xiaoyi, you two need to be more prepared."

"Okay, no problem."

Mu Xiaoyi took out her phone and said, "You guys set up the formation, I'm going to pick up Xinyu. Why isn't that guy here yet?"

Bai Xinyu said she would only come after Lao Cai went to the reservoir, but she still hadn't arrived after so long, so Mu Xiaoyi urged her in the group chat.

Mu Xiaoyi: @Bai Xinyu, Xinyu, why aren't you here yet? We've already found those idiots.

Mu Xiaoyi: Hurry up and come here!

Bai Xinyu: Sigh, we're on our way. That bag containing the corpse still had stones in it, it's really deep. Old Cai and the others aren't very good swimmers, so I went down again. Damn it, I, a cat demon, am actually the best swimmer! I'm speechless.
