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 Fifty-Three: Sharing Tables

Yue Jiu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you the money, and you can do whatever you want with it. I probably won't have any free time lately."

"You're busy, but I'm busy too."

Yue Jiuling knew she was going to take an exam, but she herself wasn't sure if she would be free. Although there weren't any cases lately, she still had to go to work on time.

Because of the sudden appearance of the two-headed water dragon last time, the entire metaphysical community is in a state of worry. In addition, the Blood Demon has not yet been captured, so Yue Jiuling cannot resign. Otherwise, Yue Jiuling would have already resigned to travel around and find the divided soul.

"Anyway, I've given you the money. You can do whatever you want with it. I don't have time."

Yue Jiu Nian collapsed onto the hotel bed, burying her face in the blankets, and said, "If you don't want to buy it, that's fine too. You can save the money for future expenses."

The funds she mentioned were actually the expenses needed when they went out to find the fragments of the soul later.

Yue Jiuling thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not buy it. You don't have a lot of money, and it's definitely not enough to buy a house here. Let's keep it for now."

Yue Jiu Nian did the math in her mind: "It seems so. Forget it, I won't buy it. At worst, I'll sleep on the streets or rent a place in the future."

Because she wanted to talk to Yue Jiu Nian more, Yue Jiu Ling didn't go back to her dorm to sleep tonight and stayed here instead.

In the hospital ward, the dying man was still receiving an IV drip. Standing beside him were two women: his wife and his mother.

Seeing that the man's condition was not improving at all, the old woman who had thrown the talisman to Yue Jiuling became very anxious.

She remembered that she had clearly followed the 'master's' instructions and thrown the paper talisman to someone who found it, so why was her son's illness still not cured? Could it be that the 'master' was lying to her?

The older woman grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally couldn't help but curse out loud: "Damn it, could I really have been scammed? No way, those people clearly said he was really amazing, how could it be fake?"

The man's wife knew as soon as she heard her mother-in-law's cursing that her mother-in-law was scolding the "master" who had treated her husband. At that moment, she guessed that the man was a charlatan, but her mother-in-law wouldn't listen to her advice until this moment.

The woman took out a damp towel and wiped the man's hands, saying, "Mom, now you know that guy was a liar, right? We all tried to warn you, but you just wouldn't listen."

The woman was already angry, and hearing her daughter-in-law's words made her even more annoyed. She glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely and said, "Of course I know now, do you need to tell me that?!"

After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left the ward. She was going to confront that 'master' and make him pay for swindling her money!

In an old alley, there was a shop that sold incense, candles, and paper money for the dead. The shop was very old and rarely had customers.

After leaving the hospital, the middle-aged woman went straight to this shop. As soon as she entered, she started cursing at the owner: "Liar! You liar! You heartless bastard, you even cheated someone my age! You have no conscience!"

The person sitting on the stool, looking surprised and being scolded, was none other than the "master." The "master" was puzzled and angry as the old lady kept pointing at him and cursing him. He had been in this industry for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever been called a fraud.

He said with a displeased look, "Shut up! Explain your situation clearly. I've been in the underworld for so many years and I've never lied to anyone. Don't talk nonsense!"

The woman was frightened by the master's harsh words and dared not curse anymore. She just sobbed, "Didn't you say that if I threw that talisman to someone who found it, it would save my son's life? Why isn't my son better yet? What are you if not a liar?!"

The master immediately understood what the problem was. He frowned and looked at the old woman, saying, "Are you sure someone picked up the talisman you threw out?"

"Of course I'm sure. I secretly dropped it behind a girl and told her I'd dropped the money. When I left, I clearly saw her pick up the money and the talisman together. How could I not be sure?"

The older woman looked at the master with an expression that said, "I'm sure she found some money."

After listening, the master thought for a moment and said, "If you are not mistaken, then the problem probably lies with the person who found the talisman. Don't worry, I'll think of a solution for you."
