After obtaining a new clue, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi decided to split up. One of them went to Huang Jian's house to get slippers, while the other went to Zhu Botuan's house to fetch some toilet water.
Ya Zi went to Huang Jian's house to get slippers, because Huang Jian is currently safe and sound, so it's very easy to get a pair of old slippers from his house.
However, things were a bit more complicated for Yue Jiuling. Zhu Botuan had been dead for several days, but the real culprit had not yet been caught. As a result, the family's attitude towards the police was not very good. Therefore, when Yue Jiuling went to Zhu Botuan's house, Zhu's mother greeted her with a stern face.
"What do you mean? Are you saying my son might have drowned in the toilet, or even in his own toilet?"
Zhu Botuan's mother stood at the door of her house and talked to Yue Jiuling.
"Yes, Auntie, I came here to get some of your toilet water so I can take it back for testing."
Yue Jiuling showed Zhu Botuan's autopsy report to Zhu's mother.
After understanding Yue Jiuling's purpose, Zhu's mother's face turned pale. However, she still let Yue Jiuling into her bathroom. She followed behind Yue Jiuling and pointed to her toilet, saying, "Then fill it with water. But my son didn't come home that night. How could he have died in my toilet? His body was clearly found in the lake."
Yue Jiuling went into the bathroom, then filled a sealed bag with some water from the toilet, sealed it, and put it into a plastic bag.
She said, "Here's the thing, we just received some new information today. In the surveillance footage near your house, we found that Zhu Botuan actually passed by your street on the night he was murdered. Although there was no surveillance footage showing whether Zhu Botuan came back, we suspect that he may have come back in the middle of the night, and you were all asleep and did not notice that he had come back."
When Zhu's mother heard this, she was equally surprised. She said, "There's CCTV footage showing my son walking down this street? Are you sure? Even if he really did come back in the middle of the night, why would he be in the lake if he's dead? Oh my god, did he bring someone back with him, and then that person killed my son and dumped his body in the lake?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. We are already working hard to find the truth. Please wait patiently."
After Yue Jiuling finished filling the water container, she prepared to leave. She said, "Just wait for news at home. Of course, if you find any useful information, you can also tell us."
"Okay, I understand."
Mother Zhu nodded and said.
After leaving Zhu Botuan's house, Yue Jiuling called Ya Zi to pick her up, because Ya Zi had driven away the management office's official car, and Yue Jiuling had to wait for Ya Zi to pick her up before she could go back.
Ya Zi arrived a dozen minutes later. He was eating as he drove, and he was eating a chicken leg. When he saw Yue Jiuling waiting for him by the roadside, he stopped the car and rolled down the window, saying, "Get in, I'm starving."
Yue Jiuling looked at the chicken leg in his hand and said, "Hey Long Shao, be careful. You're driving and eating. Be careful the security cameras don't catch you and give you points."
Ya Zi stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, chewed a few times, and spat out the bone. Seeing that Yue Jiuling had already gotten into the car, he stepped on the gas and drove away. He said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? I don't have a driver's license, so I won't get any points deducted. Besides, I've already used a trick. The surveillance cameras can't see me eating. Don't worry."
"Tsk tsk, you're quite the talent!"
Yue Jiuling smiled helplessly and said, "By the way, did you get your slippers?"
"Of course I got it. I went to get the slippers first, and then picked up the package last. It's just that the delivery was a bit of a hassle; they don't deliver to the door, so you have to go to the pickup point yourself. But the price was quite reasonable, and it tasted good. Oh, and there are a few chicken legs too, do you want some?"
Ya Zi ate while driving, eating two chicken feet and three chicken legs along the way. He even shared some chicken legs with Yue Jiuling. When he was full, he returned to the management office.
As soon as they returned to the management office, they immediately delivered the slippers and toilet water to the laboratory before returning to their office.
Inside the office, Xiaobaicai was on the phone, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi were looking for help to find clues about the monkey, while Yinni and Bai Xinyu went to the dissection room.
"Hey, Cai Cai, how's it going? Any new leads?"
After seeing that Xiaobaicai had finished making the phone call, Yue Jiuling went to ask him.
Xiao Baicai shook her head and said, "The police are already checking the surveillance footage. They said they found Zhu Botuan's figure in another street, but they only saw a silhouette and couldn't tell whether he went home or not."
"It's alright, we'll find out eventually. Besides, I've already retrieved the toilet water from Zhu Botuan's house. Once it's tested, we can find out whether he actually died in his own toilet."
Yue Jiuling leaned back in her chair and said.
Ya Zi also said, "That's right, I've already retrieved Huang Jian's slippers, but I didn't find any demonic energy on them, so I took them to the lab to see if they could find anything."
At this moment, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi finished their discussion. Mu Xiaoyi leaned over to Yue Jiuling and said, "You're back. By the way, we just inquired around and didn't find any metaphysical families in the city that keep monkeys or anything like that, at least not openly. So it's going to be hard to find a monkey."
