Yinni also said, "This is a magical artifact that his mother sent him. I heard it's a bunch of old treasures."
"Yes, that's right. Actually, my maternal grandfather and uncle were going to give them to me. We're busy with a case right now, so I didn't have time to go back and get them. But then my mom sent them all to me."
The box was quickly opened, and when Ya Zi peeked inside, he saw a large pile of various magical artifacts imbued with spiritual energy. He asked curiously, "Wow, so many! But they're really good to you. Those are obviously old items."
Hearing Ya Zi's words, Ye Dongfeng said with a hint of pride, "Of course, my maternal grandfather and uncle dote on me!"
"Tch~ If your uncle didn't have no son, do you think he would care about you?"
Seeing Ye Dongfeng's smugness, Yin Ni couldn't help but want to stab him in the back. He turned to Ya Zi and said, "This kid's maternal grandfather's family is quite famous in the circle, but unfortunately, the family is not very large. His maternal grandfather only has his mother and his uncle as siblings, and his uncle only has one daughter, who is not a talented girl. That's why Dongfeng is so spoiled by his family."
Ye Dongfeng, unfazed by the stabs, simply believed that those who hid were jealous of him. He squatted down, touching the various magical artifacts in the box, and said, "Hmph~ You're just jealous of me, envious of my family's doting on me, hehe~"
"Come on, why would I envy or be jealous of a human who only has a lifespan of a few decades?"
"Hmph~ I know you monsters live long lives, you old monster~"
Ya Zi watched Ye Dongfeng and Yin Ni engaging in childish banter and asked them, "By the way, we've been back for so long, where are Xin Yu and Xiao Yi?"
Upon hearing Ya Zi's question, Yin Ni replied, "Oh~ Didn't they lose a few people in their area? They're probably trying to find them, right?"
As they were talking, they saw Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi return. However, they didn't look well when they came back, probably because they were troubled by the missing persons case.
As soon as Bai Xinyu returned, she looked for Xiao Baicai. She looked around the office and said, "Xiao Baicai, where's Xiao Baicai? Isn't he here?"
Seeing that Xiao Baicai's seat was empty, Mu Xiaoyi asked everyone present, "Where's Xiao Baicai? Have you seen him?"
When Yinni and Ye Dongfeng returned, Xiaobaicai was no longer in the office, so they didn't know where she had gone. Both of them shook their heads to indicate that they hadn't seen her.
Although Ya Zi had asked Xiao Baicai to help him, he didn't intend to hide Xiao Baicai's whereabouts. He said, "Xiao Baicai is in the laboratory examining things. What do you want with him?"
Upon hearing that Xiao Baicai was in the testing room, Bai Xinyu immediately ran to find him, appearing extremely anxious. Mu Xiaoyi, on the other hand, remained still, simply sitting in a chair resting.
She explained to Bai Xinyu, "It's like this, we just searched for a long time near where the homeless people disappeared, but we still didn't find anything. However, on the way back, Xinyu remembered that there were no surveillance cameras or anything in that alley, but there were a few small trees, so Xinyu wanted to ask Xiaobaicai to ask those small trees to see if there were any clues."
After Mu Xiaoyi's explanation, everyone understood why they wanted to find Xiaobaicai. Xiaobaicai is also a plant-type little monster, capable of communicating with its own kind. Moreover, even if the other party is not a monster, Xiaobaicai still has ways to exchange information with them. That's why they were so anxious to find Xiaobaicai.
Holding his box of treasures, Ye Dongfeng said, "Although there are saplings there, those saplings might not be able to provide us with any clues."
Mu Xiaoyi had been working overtime all night and was exhausted. She poured herself a glass of water and said, "There's no other way. The aura at the scene is getting weaker and weaker. I can't think of any way to track it down. Although the missing person is a homeless person, it's still a human life. We should try our best to find him."
In fact, many homeless people, who are left without care or management, may die unexpectedly every year. However, when they learn that there may be a chance to save them, they still think of helping them if they can.
After hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Ya Zi thought of the aura he and Yue Jiuling had found in that alley last night. He frowned slightly as he thought about it, but said nothing.
