Chapter 238 Stealing Wine



Because they suddenly received news of a new case while having dinner, everyone who was planning to have a nice meal turned into starving ghosts and hurriedly finished their meal. Then, following the case clues given in the work group, they set off to work.

This case didn't happen in this city, but in L City. The case is like this: I heard that a bad monster who had been imprisoned for a long time escaped from a prison in L City. Then the bad monster ran into a mountain forest and encountered an archaeological team. By chance, the ancient corpse that the archaeological team dug up was resurrected. After the ancient corpse was resurrected, the monster ran away.

It's rumored that the monster might run to J City or C City, since that evil monster once lived in both cities. So, the metaphysical departments of J City and C City have started searching for the monster.

Besides the task of searching for the monster, J City and C City also have another task: each city needs to send a team to L City to help capture the ancient corpse. As for which department to send, that will be decided by the heads of the management offices.

The selection method for the section chiefs was quite simple: a lottery. The results of the lottery were also posted in the work group by Section Chief Yu. Unfortunately, their A1 department was the one selected.

Upon seeing the lottery results, Yinni said with a headache, "Who should we send to L City? Are we going to draw lots again?"

In fact, Hidden knew that no one liked business trips. After all, business trips are troublesome, and when you're in another city, you can't really work out cases properly. But there was nothing they could do. Their department was the one that got selected.

"Sigh~ Old Yu's luck is really bad. Oh well, let's draw some too."

Looking at the lottery results on her phone, Mu Xiaoyi felt that their department was not very lucky, but the team that needed to be sent still had to be sent, so she also suggested using the lottery method to decide.

"Alright, let's decide by drawing lots."

Ye Dongfeng agreed to this method, saying, "According to the previous team formation, I will be in a group with Yinni, Jiuling and Long Er will be in a group, Xinyu will be in a group with Xiaoyi, and Xiaobaicai will continue his vacation, so he doesn't need to be included."

After returning to the management office, the group began drawing lots. Yue Jiuling, Mu Xiaoyi, and Ye Dongfeng represented their respective groups, and each of them took out a small toothpick from a small cup.

"Oh no, it's another business trip?"

When Yue Jiuling saw the small black dot drawn on the bottom of the toothpick she was holding, she said to Ya Zi with some disappointment and regret, "With this kind of luck, I should have just given up and let you try instead."

Ya Zi took the small toothpick from Yue Jiu Ling's hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, if we draw it, we'll go. Let's just treat it as a paid trip."

Ya Zi doesn't really dislike business trips; he's fine with going anywhere. It's just that Yue Jiuling finds them troublesome.

When Bai Xinyu saw that Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi had been selected, she happily took Mu Xiaoyi's arm and said affectionately, "Hehe~ It seems we're lucky. It's great that we can stay in this city."

"We were lucky too! Haha!"

Ye Dongfeng also happily said that he doesn't actually like business trips, so he was very happy that he didn't have to go on a business trip this time.

Yue Jiuling pouted and looked at them, saying, "You guys are having a good time. Alright, Long Er and I will go back and pack our things first. We'll take the night bus and leave soon. Be careful while you guys work overtime tonight!"

"OK, you guys be careful on your journey too~"

Because the case is quite complicated and time is tight, they will start working overtime tonight. Those who don't need to go on business trips will go to search for the evil monster, while those who do need to go on business trips will take the night bus to L City to help.

As soon as the lottery results were announced, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi went back to pack their things, while the other colleagues also started working overtime.

On her way home, Yue Jiuling suddenly remembered something and said to Ya Zi, "By the way, now that your case is closed, are you going back to the Heavenly Realm?"

Ya Zi nodded and said, "Yes, I originally planned to go back after the last case was closed, but I recently heard that my fifth brother is also planning to go back, so I planned to wait for him to go back together. But before I could see my fifth brother, there was a new case."

“Well, then I guess you just had bad luck,” Yue Jiuling said. “By the way, take me with you when you go up to the Heavenly Realm. I’m going to visit an old friend too.”

Yue Jiuling had an old friend in the Heavenly Realm a long time ago; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to roam freely there back then. However, in recent years, she has become more aware of her situation and hasn't had time to visit that old friend. Today, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen that old friend in a long time, so she decided that after this case was resolved, she and Ya Zi would go to the Heavenly Realm to visit her old friend.

"Hmm? So you have friends in the Celestial Realm too? How come I've never heard you mention it before?"

When Ya Zi heard Yue Jiuling say that she was going to the Heavenly Realm to find an old friend, she asked him a question out of curiosity.

Yue Jiuling looked at Ya Zi, who had a curious expression, and said, "Hehe~ You didn't expect that, did you? You used to be a wanted criminal in the Heavenly Realm. You must have friends there, right? Well, it's a long story. Anyway, I do have friends in the Heavenly Realm. As for who they are, you'll find out when you get there."

"Well, I am quite surprised that you have friends in the Celestial Realm."

Ya Zi knew that Yue Jiu Ling had acquaintances in the demon and ghost realms, but she never imagined that Yue Jiu Ling would have friends in the celestial realm, after all, Yue Jiu Ling was once a wanted criminal in the celestial realm.
