"Holy crap! How could it be him?!"
When Yue Jiuling saw the photo on the work ID, she was instantly shocked. No wonder he looked so familiar; she really did know him!
Ya Zi looked at the document in her hand and asked in surprise, "Is he from the Xu family?"
"Yes, that's him. I ran into him when I went to submit some documents that time."
Yue Jiuling stared at the corpse with a solemn expression and said.
This person is not an ordinary person, but a celestial master in the metaphysical circle. At the same time, his family is also a famous celestial master family in the metaphysical circle. Therefore, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi both know him, and the certificate that was found is actually his celestial master certificate.
Upon discovering that a Taoist priest had died there, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi dared not linger any longer and immediately reported the matter to their superiors, and also conducted a search of the surrounding area.
They learned from Big Head Ghost that the murderer had left, but they still wanted to look for any traces left at the scene.
Yue Jiuling used her phone to send a message in the work group, telling everyone what had happened and reminding them to be careful, because the murderer's motives were unclear and she was worried that he was targeting the entire metaphysical community.
"Tsk~ The Xu family should be here by now, right?"
Yue Jiuling asked Ya Zi beside her, "I remember that this Master Xu has quite a high status in the Xu family, so his family members should be arriving soon."
Ya Zi was on his phone contacting Xiao Baicai, who was in her office. Xiao Baicai had access to Master Xu's home address and contact information, so he asked her to help notify the Xu family to identify the body.
Ya Zi said, "Hmm, I've already sent Xiao Baicai to inform them. They should be arriving soon, right?"
As they were talking, a big-headed ghost suddenly spoke up, "Hey, comrades, does our 'calling the police' count as a meritorious act?"
Because of the major incident, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi haven't paid much attention to the two big-headed ghosts. If the big-headed ghosts hadn't spoken up, the two of them probably wouldn't have even thought of them.
Upon hearing Big Head Ghost's words, Yue Jiuling seemed to remember them and said, "Oh, right, we almost forgot about you guys. You did do a good job calling the police this time. What kind of reward do you want?"
Although the body would still be discovered by someone after dawn even if the big-headed ghosts hadn't found it or alerted the police, there's still a difference between being discovered by the big-headed ghosts and being discovered by ordinary people, so they can be considered to have earned a small reward this time.
Since they had made contributions, they should be rewarded. Therefore, Yue Jiuling decided to personally give them some rewards.
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling say that there would be a reward, the two big-headed ghosts were overjoyed. They had only asked to inquire beforehand, but they hadn't expected that there would actually be a reward.
"Then, can we go back to the Ghost Realm now?"
A big-headed ghost struggled to support its large head, then looked at Yue Jiuling with expectant eyes and told her its wish.
Upon hearing his request, Yue Jiuling smiled, turned to look at Ya Zi, and said, "Actually, before you spoke, I thought you were going to make some pretty big demands~"
Ya Zi also found it a bit funny. How could this big-headed ghost be so amusing? They had already made all the requests, yet he only came up with such a simple one.
Despite finding it amusing, Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the ghost messenger about that later. And what about the other one?"
The request just now was made by one of the big-headed ghosts; there is still another big-headed ghost who hasn't made a request yet.
Another big-headed ghost, seeing that his friend's request had been granted, also expressed his own wish.
He looked shyly at Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um, um, could we ask for some new clothes, money, and incense?"
When Ya Zi saw the big-headed ghost's hesitant and awkward appearance, he thought that the ghost was up to no good. Ya Zi thought that if the big-headed ghost dared to have any bad intentions, he must protect Yue Jiuling and not let Yue Jiuling be hurt by the big-headed ghost!
When Ya Zi loses his mind, he always forgets Yue Jiu Ling's strength. He's only thinking about protecting her, without considering whether the big-headed ghost has the guts and the ability.
However, after hearing Big Head Ghost's request, Ya Zi was no longer so nervous. He remembered the foolish thought that had just popped into his head, immediately returned to normal, and then arrogantly raised his chin and said, "Of course, that's fine."
Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Sure, but your brain is definitely smarter than your friend's!"
After this small comparison, Yue Jiuling came to a conclusion: a big head doesn't necessarily mean someone is smart.
Of course, it's not that they'll be stupid. The only downside is that their heads are too big and heavy, as you can tell from how the two big-headed ghosts support their heads in their daily lives.
Having promised to reward them, Yue Jiuling took out some gold ingots and candles from her backpack to burn for the big-headed ghosts. As for clothes, she told Ya Zi to burn some cloth for them and have them find other ghosts to make clothes.
"Luckily, we prepared these in case of a ghost riot, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find any gold ingots and candles for you to burn right now."
While burning offerings for them, Yue Jiuling kindly suggested, "But once you're inside, don't cause any trouble, or your reincarnation will take even longer."
