The parrot spirit nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. After he ran away, we had no choice but to track him down based on the scent left at the scene. However, we couldn't track him down because his scent was too chaotic. It was everywhere in the city and even outside the city."
"So, you can't be sure he's definitely left the city, right? Have you ever considered that maybe he's still here?"
Yue Jiuling suddenly remembered a saying: "The more dangerous a place is, the safer it actually is."
She continued, "Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to leave the city, he could just leave directly. Why would he need to wander around? Besides, with his thousand years of cultivation, he's quite a powerful demon. It wouldn't be difficult for him to hide. There's no need for him to do this. So I suspect he's still in the city, maybe even near where the crime occurred."
"Near the crime scene? That can't be right. Our department has already searched the entire area around the crime scene to find the person who came back to life, but we haven't found anything."
The female sheep spirit said, "The ancient corpse just woke up, so we guessed that he hadn't gone far, but we still couldn't find him after searching for a long time."
"I see, then okay."
As they chatted, they arrived at their destination. As soon as Yue Jiuling got out of the car, she followed them up the hill. The ancient corpse's tomb was at the top of the hill. However, upon seeing the surrounding environment, Yue Jiuling frowned and said, "Tsk~ Why is this place like this? Even if someone dug up someone's 'home,' it shouldn't be like this, right?"
What should have been a desolate cemetery has been turned upside down, with several pits dug in the ground and some soil turned up several meters deep.
Yue Jiuling stepped on a muddy mark on the ground and said, "This should be where the giant centipede crawled out back then."
The soil where she stepped was very loose, and there was a mark on the black soil, as if something had crawled out of the soil, and the mark was quite large, about a meter in diameter.
Ya Zi stepped on the mud and said with disgust, "It smells awful, it stinks."
"Of course, I heard that the giant centipede escaped by digging a tunnel all the way out, and the smell of the soil was terrible."
The parrot spirit said, "And I also heard that when he came out, he might have dug into the cesspool. When he was first unearthed, there was a super stinky smell. The people who came to chase him even joked that he cheated and used biological weapons. It was very despicable, hahaha."
Hearing this, Yue Jiuling could already imagine the scene. She chuckled and said, "Then those who came to arrest him back then must have had a pretty rough time."
"That's right, but the smell is much less intense now, not as exaggerated as before," the parrot spirit said, then looked at Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi and said, "Alright, that's about it. Since everyone is going to catch that ancient corpse, we can only take you this far. The rest is up to you. Our director has already arranged your food and lodging. There are two room cards here. As for food, you'll have to find your own places to eat. But don't worry, it's all reimbursed. However, you know the conditions for reimbursement, and I believe you know what to do."
Ya Zi took the two room cards from the parrot spirit and said, "Yes, we know that. Thank you for your help."
Actually, the parrot spirit and the sheep spirit's job tonight is to pick up Yue Jiuling and the others, but they'll have to handle the investigation themselves. Although they're here to help, they're all investigating cases and catching corpses, so we might as well let everyone have their own time.
Anyway, accommodation will be arranged for you, and food expenses can be reimbursed as long as they are within the reimbursement range.
However, even though it was supposed to be a free period, everyone knew they couldn't slack off, especially the support troops who came to help. The reason they were needed was because the local colleagues had other work to do, and if the support troops slacked off, the case couldn't be investigated.
Therefore, employees who go on business trips to other places usually don't slack off. They all want to finish the case as soon as possible and go back, otherwise they will get into trouble if they drag it out.
