He made a final struggle, muttering to himself, "Is this some kind of new paper robot? Sigh, even so, it doesn't prove that Shi Yimeng's disappearance wasn't caused by someone. I can't let my imagination run wild. I don't believe in supernatural forces."
Yang Lianhai's lips stiffened.
It's no wonder the boss was like that; even he himself was feeling incredibly nervous, his heart pounding like a deer.
Are there really things in this world that we can't see?
The group, who had originally planned to sit for a while at a beverage shop, changed their route and went to No. 17 Middle School, which was three streets away from Shuangyi High School and was Shi Yimeng's school.
Chu Xiao and his team, dressed in police uniforms, showed their police IDs to the security guard on duty and quickly went to the crime scene to investigate. The area had been cordoned off. Although there were no bodies or murder weapons, the fact that someone had disappeared there could not be denied.
It was the first day of summer vacation for other schools, and most of the students had already left; there were only a few scattered individuals.
The head of the teaching department received a call from the security guard and rushed over immediately.
He spotted Chu Xiao and Yang Lianhai wearing shoe covers and gloves at a glance and hurried over to greet them, saying, "Captain Chu, Officer Yang, I'm sorry I'm late."
The dean of students glanced nervously at Chu Xiao, whose expression was cold and stern. "Captain Chu, this matter has been making headlines recently. We hope you can solve the case as soon as possible and clear the school's name. This kind of thing has seriously affected our school's enrollment this year."
The head of the teaching department smiled bitterly to himself. There were already many rumors that the school had staged the whole thing, which had tarnished its reputation, and many parents of other students had expressed their dissatisfaction.
He now only hopes the case can be solved as soon as possible; rumors stop with the wise. Only when the case is solved can these people finally put their minds at ease.
Chu Xiao said, "Please rest assured, this is our duty." As he spoke, his gaze was drawn to Yan Chiyu beside him. Judging from the boy's posture and slightly parted lips, he seemed to be communicating with someone, but there was no one there!
Is it just a charade? Or...?
Just as Chu Xiao was about to ask Wu Yue what was going on, the little boy moved to his side. However, his small face was pale and his body was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" What's with all the shivering in this sweltering heat?
Chu Xiao wondered if the child had a fever. Usually, only fever or a cold would cause someone to feel cold.
"There's a ghost." Wu Yue said, feigning composure, "I just have a physiological reaction that makes me shake."
The head of student affairs then noticed that there were two students there, assuming they were students from the school, and was about to reprimand them.
Yang Lianhai grabbed his arm. "Oh dear, look at my memory, Director. I forgot to tell you. These two kids are the ones we invited to help solve the case. Don't ask any more questions."
Yang Lianhai gave a signal with his eyes.
The head of the teaching department glanced at Wu Yue standing next to Chu Xiao and couldn't help but have impure thoughts.
Could it be Captain Chu's...girlfriend?
[Director! Stop having such dangerous thoughts!]
[OMG, if I look closely, I actually think this pairing is okay.]

"Ghosts? Where are there ghosts in broad daylight?" Chu Xiao corrected her with a straight face, "Wu Yue, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Wu Yue shrugged and secretly peeked through one eye. "Captain Chu, let me give you a update on what they're doing and what they're saying."
Upon arriving at this corridor, Yan Chiyu immediately summoned a female ghost to inquire about the situation. As everyone knows, female ghosts covet his good looks and the spiritual energy emanating from him.
The first female ghost said she didn't know, but soon gathered her companions who were floating in other places to brainstorm ideas.
