"Ding-ling-ling~"
Just when everyone was having a headache, the office main phone rang. Xiaobaicai, who was sitting next to the phone, answered it casually: "Hello."
Yue Jiuling saw Xiaobaicai answer the phone and sat back down in her seat, munching on sunflower seeds with Bai Xinyu. Everyone had been frantically investigating the case for the past few days, but they still hadn't found anything, which was really frustrating.
However, before Yue Jiuling could even finish a few melon seeds, she heard Xiao Baicai's exclamation. She heard him say into the phone, "What?! You found a body? Wait, we'll send people over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Baicai immediately said to a group of colleagues who were all in a panic after hearing his call, "Oh no! The police just called and said they've found the bodies of the missing people. They want us to go over there now."
"Tsk, it's only been a few days, how could he have been killed so quickly?"
Everyone was extremely troubled. It was one thing that these people hadn't been found before, but at least they were safe. Now that the bodies had suddenly appeared, it was even more troublesome than not finding them at all. But no matter how troubled they were, they still had to go and check on them, since that was what they were doing handling these kinds of cases.
The crime scene was in an alley in an ordinary residential area. The person who found the body was a sanitation worker. It is said that the sanitation worker found several large black bags next to the garbage can while he was working. The worker wanted to move the bags to the garbage truck, but accidentally tore the bags and found the body inside.
These bodies were all human, and they were the same people who had been reported missing earlier. While the police notified the management office to come and see the bodies, they also called their families. So when Yue Jiuling and the others arrived at the crime scene, they saw a large group of people crying and sobbing, and some even wanted to get closer to the bodies to examine them.
Seeing this, everyone felt helpless. Yin Ni, his face dark with anger, walked over to them and said, "Please make way, we're here to investigate a case."
Fortunately, the family members were quite rational. When they saw that it was an investigator, they made way for them. Otherwise, if they had kept crying, how could the investigators have been able to check their bodies?
After hiding behind the cordon, he immediately realized that those people had died because their souls had been extracted. So he took one look and came out, then told everyone the result.
Upon hearing this clue, Mu Xiaoyi went inside as well. Her expression was also grim as she said, "I'll go check what's going on. Is it just the monster extracting the soul when it captures people?"
Yue Jiuling and the others also felt that they had captured the person for so long, how could it be as simple as just extracting a soul?
"The body is well-preserved on the surface. It looks like it was killed by having its soul extracted last night. We can't see anything here. Let's take it back for further examination," Ye Dongfeng said, taking off his gloves.
He originally intended to remove the deceased's clothes to examine the body, but seeing so many people at the scene, he changed his mind and decided to take the body back for further examination.
In the afternoon, Yue Jiunian wandered around the mountain for a long time but couldn't find her true form. She did find a few caves, but apart from a large number of wild animals, she found nothing else, not even another monster.
"Tsk, it seems this hilltop is gone. Let's go look elsewhere."
While eating a can of fish, Yue Jiu Nian walked south. She seemed to sense a faint demonic aura lingering there and decided to go and check it out.
However, after she walked into a forest, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The trees in the forest were very tall and blocked out the sun. The sun outside couldn't shine into the forest, so the moment she entered, she felt very uncomfortable. It was too cold and gloomy, and something was very wrong.
Yue Jiu Nian's current body is human, so she is very uncomfortable in this kind of place. The first thing she wanted to do when she felt uncomfortable was to leave the forest, but when she turned around, she found that she seemed to be trapped here and could not get out!
A thick fog appeared behind her, turning the entire forest into a white haze, making it impossible to see the path. Yue Jiu Nian tried to walk back, only to find that what had taken her a dozen steps to get in had taken her several minutes to walk out.
"Oh, are you taking advantage of the fact that I'm human now?"
Yue Jiu muttered to herself that although she was currently in human form, it didn't mean she couldn't leave this place. She just suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some interesting things here, so she didn't rush to leave and wanted to play around here.
