In the afternoon, a special mission report appeared in the management office:
"This is the fifth missing person case in the city. Some are people, and some are monsters. The human police couldn't find any clues, so they transferred the case to our management office. You can go and check it out."
Director Yu, holding a report, spoke to his colleagues with a worried expression.
Hidden took the report and said, "Okay, we understand. Let's go out and investigate now. Little Cabbage, you'll come with us later."
The junior office worker took the report from his hand and said, "Okay."
"Wait, why do the clerical staff have to go out too?" Yue Jiuling remembered that clerical staff didn't have to go out on fieldwork, so why did Xiaobaicai have to go out with them?
“Because the missing persons case requires visiting many places, I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough manpower, so I asked him to come out and help.”
"All right."
Ya Zi, who had just made a mistake, immediately became enthusiastic when he heard there was work to be done. He put his arm around Yin Ni's shoulder and said, "Hey buddy, there's work to be done. Do you think if I perform well, Lao Yu won't deduct my salary?"
Upon hearing this, Yinni smiled and said, "Well, that possibility isn't entirely out of the question. You can give it a try."
Yue Jiuling, who was following behind to work, also heard their conversation and secretly rolled her eyes: Idiot!
Because the case involved monsters and humans, all the colleagues in the department went out, and Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi went out together as well.
Hidden was appointed as the squad leader for this case. Looking at the list of missing persons, he assigned tasks as follows:
"Let's split into several small teams to visit the homes of the missing persons, as well as their former workplaces and places they frequented before they went missing."
At the captain's command, the colleagues immediately formed their own teams: Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu formed one team, Mu Xiaoyi and Ye Dongfeng formed another, and Ya Zi teamed up with Xiao Baicai, leaving Yin Ni as the lone commander.
Hidden gave a slightly awkward cough: "Ahem~ Our numbers are a bit off this time~"
They exchanged glances, feeling a bit like laughing. In the end, Yinni decided to join Yue Jiuling's team, since they had often gone on missions as a trio before and already had a good understanding of each other.
After dividing into teams, everyone set off with the missing persons' information and addresses.
Yue Jiuling and the others had information on a bartender who worked the night shift at a bar. Three days ago, the bartender disappeared on his way home from get off work. His family reported him missing to the police the next day at noon. The bartender was a monkey spirit.
Before the bartender disappeared, three humans had already gone missing in the city, but it didn't attract much attention until a monster also went missing, which made people realize that something was wrong.
While driving, Yinni thought about the case: "Hey, that bartender is a three-hundred-year-old monkey demon. According to the family who reported the case, there has been nothing unusual recently. It's impossible for him to have run away from home. He also has a demon certificate, so he definitely couldn't have been arrested by our department. Logically speaking, with his level of cultivation, ordinary people shouldn't be able to catch him."
"Well, so if they really were kidnapped, who exactly is trying to capture them? And it's not just one monster they've captured, but also a whole family of cockroach spirits from the suburbs. They live in such a remote place that if it weren't for relatives coming to visit, they probably wouldn't have been discovered by now."
Bai Xinyu also said with a puzzled expression.
Yue Jiuling listened to her colleagues' analysis without saying a word, because she was texting Yue Jiunian: 'Jiunian, Jiunian, are you still alive? I got into a fight with an idiot in the office today and got a week's pay docked, so I don't have any money for you right now. Fend for yourself.'
Yue Jiu Nian was still observing the red-clad female ghost with that woman, so she didn't notice this message.
"Do you think she wanted to kill us? Her eyes were so terrifying..."
The woman hid behind Yue Jiu Nian and peeked at the female ghost in the corner.
Yue Jiu Nian could also see the female ghost's resentment towards her. If an ordinary Taoist priest saw such a ghost, he would definitely take action to subdue her immediately. However, Yue Jiu Nian was not a Taoist priest; she was a demon, a demon in human skin.
Although the ghost seemed utterly insignificant in Yue Jiu Nian's eyes, she had no intention of killing it. Why would she kill someone she had no grudge against? As for why she kicked the ghost, it was simply because the ghost was so ugly that it frightened her.
"Go away, I don't want to kill you."
Yue Jiu Nian knew that the red-clothed female ghost was also afraid of him, so he let her go.
The woman in red was surprised when Yue Jiu said to let her go, but she didn't linger and left quickly, only giving the woman a strange look as she left.
After the female ghost left, the woman was no longer so scared. She gratefully said to Yue Jiu Nian, "Miss, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would definitely have been killed by this ghost."
"Miss?" Upon hearing this address, Yue Jiu Nian twitched the corner of her mouth. There was no way around it; wasn't she just a schoolgirl in her current state? So, the common term "Miss" suited her quite well.
"Uh, you're welcome. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." Yue Jiu Nian thought that she still had to wait for someone, so she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The woman was about to say something, but when she heard Yue Jiunian say that, she immediately chased after her and said, "Hey, Miss, are you a ghost-catching master? Your kick just now was so amazing, it stunned me."
