Yue Jiuling thought that Ya Zi should still be in the Immortal Realm, probably because there was no signal and that's why he couldn't receive messages. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. When he left, he asked me to help him ask for a few days off, but he didn't say when he would be back, so I'm not really sure."

Ye Dongfeng, with a piece of duck intestine between his fingers, said, "Sigh, our department is only missing him now. Once he comes back, we'll be complete. But speaking of which, I've really missed Long Er these past few days~ Hahaha~"

Yue Jiuling smiled when she heard this. Actually, she also felt a little uncomfortable. She had been working with Ya Zi for a while and had gotten used to his presence. So Yue Jiuling also felt that she missed Ya Zi a little.

Little Cabbage, biting her chopsticks, said, "Actually, I miss Brother Long too, but I think Brother Long is so capable that nothing can stump him, so he should be back soon, right?"

Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's just going to handle some small matters. You don't need to worry about him so much. He'll probably be back in a few days."

After eating and drinking their fill, Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu watched short videos together for half an hour, then watched two movies, and finally waited until 11 p.m.

"Let's go, it's time to set off."

Hidden, wearing headphones, went to get his car. Ye Dongfeng had come on his own motorcycle, so he wasn't riding in Hidden's van with everyone. He waved his car keys and said, "I'm off too. Oh, and Xiao Yi, remember to bring plenty of talismans."

Mu Xiaoyi replied, "Yes, don't worry, I've already prepared."

Yue Jiuling, Bai Xinyi, Xiaobaicai, and the others followed behind the hidden figure all the way to the parking lot, where they got into a super spacious van.

After Xiaobaicai got into the car, Yinni said to him, "Xiaobaicai, you stay in the car and watch the surveillance footage. Don't go anywhere. If you find anything, notify us immediately via walkie-talkie."

"Okay, I understand." Xiaobaicai nodded as she fiddled with a laptop and looked at the surveillance footage on the screen.

Because they were worried that the evil spirit might not appear under the same manhole cover again, they had the police install surveillance cameras at all the manhole covers on the street. Then, they and a few others would act as bait near those manhole covers tonight.

Because they were to act as bait, they all had to conceal their presence. This is where Mu Xiaoyi's talisman came in handy.

Mu Xiaoyi distributed several talismans to everyone, and then put one on herself, saying, "This talisman can hide our aura for five hours, so you don't have to worry about being discovered. Just make sure you hide the talisman well."

Yue Jiuling put the talisman into her pocket, then put on their walkie-talkie and said, "Alright, isn't it a bit early? That shop isn't closed yet."

In front of them, there was a small shop open for business.

Hidden glanced at the time and said, "It seems a bit early. We checked the surveillance footage today, and that thing only came out around 1 a.m.

Ye Dongfeng had already arrived on his motorcycle. He took the talisman Mu Xiaoyi gave him and said, "Since it's still so early, how about we play something? How about playing cards or Dou Dizhu?"

Bai Xinyu nodded and said, "That's fine too. We're just killing time anyway, and there are six of us in total, so we can split up and play a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)."

Hidden heard this suggestion and although she felt it wasn't very professional to work like that, she thought it was acceptable since there was still plenty of time.

"Okay, I'll set an alarm first. You can only play for an hour, be careful not to have any accidents."

As Yinni spoke, he took out his phone to set an alarm, while Ye Dongfeng had already called out Xiaobaicai and brought out two decks of cards.

Seeing that everyone was so 'unprofessional and careless' at work, Yue Jiuling happily joined their ranks.

"Come on, let me make this clear first, I don't gamble, I'm not very lucky."

"Don't worry, what's the point of gambling? We're all a bunch of poor bastards, how could we possibly gamble?"

The group started playing cards right there at the crime scene, next to the manhole cover. They showed absolutely no professionalism and weren't afraid of being caught slacking off at work. It was enough to make anyone 'envious'.
