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...
Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling were drinking tea on the side, keeping a close eye on the shop owner. Yue Jiuling said, "Be careful, he probably has ghost gu on him too, don't let him sneak up on you."
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."
Ye Dongfeng held a handful of talismans in his hand and said smugly, with a smug expression that said, "With talismans in hand, I have the world at my fingertips."
Hiding behind a photograph of a corpse taken earlier in the classroom, he asked the shop owner, "Do you recognize this person? Did you kill her?"
Hearing the hidden question, the shop owner finally reacted. He slowly turned his gaze to the photo and said, "I don't know this person, and I didn't kill her."
"Okay, very good. So now we know who the murderer is. The murderer is your sister, right?"
Hidden away, he put the photo away and said to Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling, "You two quickly draw a portrait of that girl, and then send someone to find her."
Yue Jiuling hesitated and said, "Um, well, I think I should go and stay at their shop. I can't draw."
Ya Zi also raised her hand: "I can't draw either..."
Upon hearing their words, everyone was speechless. The only two colleagues who had seen the murderer couldn't draw. Were they supposed to ask the murderer's brother to draw? The answer was obviously no. Didn't they see how he protected his sister?
He discreetly placed the paper and pen on the shop owner's table and said, "Ahem~ Can you draw?"
Shop owner: "..." Is this guy an idiot?
Seeing that the other party was clearly uncooperative, Yinni had no choice but to take back the paper and pen and say, "Alright, it seems we still have to find someone ourselves. By the way, Xiaoyi, do you have any more talismans for us?"
Mu Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, I'll get it for you later."
Just then, Little Cabbage, who had been playing with the big catfish in the next pond, returned. He looked at the shop owner and said, "So? Have you all sorted it out? He's the murderer?"
Just then, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were about to go out to continue searching for the murderer. Ya Zi shook his head and left the basement with Xiao Baicai, saying, "He's not the murderer. The murderer must be his sister. We need to go out and catch his sister now."
Little Cabbage nodded in understanding: "Oh, I see."
Yue Jiuling found Xiaobaicai's silly appearance amusing. She reached out to adjust his newly bought fisherman's hat and said, "By the way, this person will be locked up here temporarily. Don't come down to the basement for a while, or he might use a ghost gu to bite you."
"Eh, does he also have ghost gu?" Little Cabbage said a little scared, because she had already been told about the power of ghost gu and had seen what it looked like, so she was still quite afraid of it.
Ya Zi thought that the shop owner didn't seem to have any small cloth bags on him, nor had he ever seen the shop owner release any ghost Gu. However, just to be on the safe side, he still said, "Well, there must be some, but I don't know where they're hidden. Anyway, you'd better not go down to the basement again."
Little Cabbage nodded: "Okay, I understand. But if we don't go down, what will happen to that big catfish? Won't it starve to death?"
Speaking of the giant catfish, everyone who came out with Ya Zi and the others felt a bit helpless, because this giant catfish was also a criminal, but the crime it committed was not punishable by death, so it had been kept locked up and dared not be released.
But keeping it locked up like this isn't a good solution either, because it needs to eat, drink, and live in a shelter. Keeping this giant catfish spirit is really too much of a hassle.
Ye Dongfeng followed behind Xiaobaicai and said, "I can't take it anymore. I need to tell Lao Yu that this big catfish can't stay here any longer. I find it annoying to look at."
Bai Xinyu also said, "Yes, it smells so bad that even I don't want to eat it. If we don't leave here soon, I won't be able to stand it either."
Everyone had a lot of complaints about this giant catfish spirit, so they decided to go together to ask Director Yu to get rid of it.
After receiving everyone's applications, Director Yu began to consider where to send the giant catfish. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a solution: to release the giant catfish.
"What?! You're going to release this giant catfish?!"
After learning of Director Yu's decision, everyone objected, because they all felt that this big catfish had done bad things, and it wouldn't be right to just let it go.
Director Yu, holding an application form, reassured everyone, saying, "Don't be anxious. My intention in releasing it is not to just let it go like that, but to have you cripple its cultivation and turn it into an ordinary catfish before releasing it."
The reason why the giant catfish spirit does bad things is because it relies on its cultivation level. If its cultivation level is destroyed, it will become an ordinary giant catfish. In that case, it would be much safer to release it.
After everyone understood Director Yu's meaning, they agreed to the decision. Although the big catfish's bad deeds did not warrant death, it still needed to be punished properly, and its punishment was to have all its cultivation destroyed.
