'Waaaaah~'
Early in the morning, a police car was parked in front of a bookstore on the commercial street. They quickly set up a cordon at the entrance, and then several people dressed in white got out of the car.
"Who was the first to discover the body?"
A police officer looked at the mummified corpse on the ground and questioned the onlookers around him.
At this moment, a woman in her thirties stepped forward and said somewhat fearfully, "It's me. I went out to buy groceries early this morning and then I saw this."
Lying on the ground was a female mummy. Her skin was dry and wrinkled, and her entire body looked as if it had been drained of blood and moisture. Her features were completely obscured, and the only clue that she was a woman was her long black hair.
A forensic doctor turned the body over, then frowned and said to the police officer next to him, "Boss, this doesn't seem like a typical murder case. It's probably something we can't handle."
The police officer next to him heard this and said, "Okay, I'll report this first, and then we'll wait for those people to come and handle it."
In the management office, Bai Xinyu was leisurely sitting in a chair knitting a scarf as usual. She listened to music while her hands kept moving. "Sigh, I wonder how the King of Qingcheng is doing now. Have Jiuling and the others been able to find him?"
Ye Dongfeng happened to be passing by Bai Xinyu with a water glass in his hand. Hearing her words, he said, "Don't worry, you have to trust your king. Oh, by the way, you've been knitting this scarf for so long, why isn't it finished yet?"
Bai Xinyu looked down at the yarn in her hand, and then said with a little shyness, "Actually, I've already finished one before. This is the second one. I want to knit two identical couple scarves and give one to the King."
Little Cabbage was watering the small potted plant with a watering can when he heard Bai Xinyu's words and said, "Wow~ you're knitting couple scarves by hand! Speaking of which, I also want to give the King something~"
Bai Xinyu knew that Xiaobaicai also liked the Demon King, so she said, "Actually, you could also give the King the little trinkets you made!"
Little Cabbage knew that Bai Xinyu was referring to the little toys he carved every day, but he felt that what he made was not sincere enough, so he shook his head and said, "No, mine are too ordinary. I want to give the King something special and meaningful."
"Okay, why don't you come with me to learn how to knit? I can give you scarves, and you can give me clothes and hats too."
"That works too."
Seeing the two 'love rivals' getting along so well, Mu Xiaoyi shook her head helplessly and said, "Are you really love rivals? You seem more like best friends who are chasing after celebrities together."
Ye Dongfeng laughed as he took a bite of a mung bean cake: "I think so too. Speaking of which, where is he hiding? Why haven't we seen him?"
Little Cabbage looked up and said, "Oh, it's like this. Director Yu just called Brother Hidden in. It seems there's some new case."
Just as they were talking about hiding, Yinni came out of Director Yu's office with a few photos in his hand. He handed them to Xiaobaicai and said, "Come on, get ready. There's a new case. Everyone except Xiaobaicai, come with me."
Little Cabbage reached out and took the hidden photo, then asked in surprise, "Wow, is this a mummified corpse? How did it turn into this?"
Bai Xinyu was already holding her phone, ready to leave. She leaned closer to Xiaobaicai and looked at the photos, saying, "It does look like a mummified corpse, but we'll have to go to the scene to find out the specifics."
Ye Dongfeng also said, "A mummified corpse? Could it be some kind of zombie or blood-sucking monster?"
Mu Xiaoyi had already followed Yinni away. She said, "Let's go, let's go. We'll only know what it is when we see it. Saying anything now is pointless."
The group quickly arrived at the crime scene, which was well protected. Apart from being turned over, the mummified corpse had not been disturbed anywhere else.
Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi, each wearing gloves, entered the cordon. The forensic doctor inside nodded and greeted them when he saw them: "You've arrived. This body is a bit strange. I suspect this case should belong to you."
The people in the management office are already quite familiar with those people. Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Probably. Actually, I would prefer that this is just an ordinary case, so we wouldn't have to come here."
The forensic doctor pushed up his glasses and said, "Haha~ Actually, that's what I thought too, but unfortunately it's not."
Mu Xiaoyi had already reached out to examine the corpse, but as soon as her hand touched it, she immediately felt an evil aura rushing towards her. She quickly withdrew her hand and then said to Bai Xinyu, "Xinyu, come here for a moment, this seems to be a bit troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyu stopped talking to the forensic doctor and turned to Mu Xiaoyi, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Come and see, I just sensed an evil aura."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyu cautiously used her spiritual power to touch the corpse. She said, "There's evil energy? Then let me do it. I'm a demon, and even if evil energy wants to invade my body, it won't be so easy."
As she spoke, she immediately took action. When she sensed an evil aura rushing towards her, she used her demonic power to resist its invasion. She then used magic to seal the evil aura on the corpse to prevent it from spreading and harming people later.
