Summer is about to leave, leaving only a little tail behind, but Autumn, who is taking over, is not very dedicated, making the weather just as hot as when Summer was working.
"Squeak squeak squeak~"
In a small park, Xiaobaicai caught a chirping cicada from a big tree, held it in her hand, frowned and said, "Hmph, I caught you. This old tree is old, and this wicked cicada is still sucking its sap. It's so mean."
"Oh~ So you want to catch it and take it home to play with?"
Bai Xinyu found it amusing to watch the little cabbage catching cicadas. Holding a small electric fan in one hand and blowing it on herself while biting into an ice pop in the other, she said, "Alright, you've been wandering around here for quite a while now. Have you found anything?"
"Yes, are there any clues?"
Mu Xiaoyi, who was standing to the side, also asked, "Jiuling and Dongfeng have been gone for so long. If you can't find them here, then let's go find Jiuling and the others."
Because the investigation into the missing person case continues, all the staff in the management office were mobilized today. They had previously sought help from the police, who provided some useful clues and some suspicious surveillance footage. Yue Jiuling, Ya Zi, Ye Dongfeng, and a few others went to the locations covered by those surveillance cameras to look for the missing person.
The little cabbage was able to communicate with the plants, so it followed the clues provided by the plants and arrived at this small park.
Xiao Baicai closed her eyes and sensed the area in the park. After failing to detect any trace of the crime scene, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's go. I can't sense anything here anymore."
Mu Xiaoyi wasn't too disappointed when she heard this, because she had already guessed that this would be the case. After all, it was impossible to catch people by relying solely on those plants that didn't have any intelligence.
"Let's go then and see how Dongfeng and the others are doing."
Following the clues provided by the police, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi arrived at a beach.
As she stood by the sea, feeling the wind and smelling the salty sea aroma, Yue Jiuling inexplicably felt a little hungry!
"Hey~ Should we go down and get something to eat?"
Yue Jiuling looked at the sparsely populated beach and asked Ya Zi beside her.
Ya Zi was looking down at his phone. They had come here after seeing the CCTV footage at the entrance of a seaside hotel, so Ya Zi had been watching the person in the yellow shirt in the CCTV footage the whole way.
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Ya Zi looked up, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Huh? What do you want to eat?"
He didn't quite understand what Yue Jiuling meant at first, but after turning around and seeing people picking up small sea snails on the beach, he understood.
Ya Zi smiled and looked at the little boy carrying a small bucket and constantly picking up seashells, saying, "Oh~ you want to eat seafood, right?"
Not far from them, a few people were using small shovels and buckets to collect seafood.
Yue Jiuling knew that Ya Zi understood what she meant. She squinted her eyes, enjoying the comfort of the sea breeze, and said, "That's right. Although I don't really like water and am a little afraid of it, I think I can do it for the sake of food."
"Haha~ Alright then, since you want to eat, I'll accompany you down to the sea. To be honest, before I went to work at the management office after descending to the mortal realm, I lived in the sea, and the Sea Dragon King is actually my cousin~"
As he walked, Ya Zi took off his shoes and shirt, then rolled up his trousers to his knees, ready to go into the sea. Since he had decided to eat seafood, he couldn't just pick up small sea snails like the other kids; he wanted to catch some big seafood.
Seeing that Ya Zi had taken the initiative to go into the sea, Yue Jiuling also took off her shoes and stepped into the seawater. However, she did not go too deep and just stood in the shallow water and said, "Alright, actually I already knew that the Dragon Clan and your family are closely related. By the way, I'll stay here. Don't go too deep either. If you catch anything, just throw it up."
"Okay, there should be a restaurant nearby that can help with cooking. Once we catch it, we can take it there and have them cook it for us."
Ya Zi had already bent down and reached into the sea to catch fish. As soon as his hand entered the water, it transformed into a furry claw, which then slowly began to stir the water. With this stirring motion, a large whirlpool began to form deep within the ocean, and suddenly, a large, furry claw emerged from within the whirlpool!
The giant claws stirred the deep sea back and forth, grabbing a large number of fish and shrimp in the nearby waters at once!
Five minutes later, Ya Zi carried out dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of large fish and shrimp from the shallow water area.
Looking at the still lively seafood, Yue Jiuling's mouth watered. She quickly helped move the seafood away, saying, "Wow, there's so much! It feels like we can't possibly finish it all. It might take us a whole day to eat it."
"It's okay, it's free anyway, we can eat it for a few days. Let's go find something to put it in."
Ya Zi climbed out of the sea, then went to a nearby store and bought a large bucket. He filled the bucket with all the seafood and said, "Should we send them all to the restaurant now, then come back to investigate the case and pack them up to take home, or should we keep them fresh and bring them back for everyone to eat together after we've finished the case?"
"Let's send it to the restaurant first and have them process it. We can pack it up and take it home to eat together later."
Yue Jiuling felt it would be more convenient to process the seafood first before eating it, so she and Ya Zi took the seafood to a nearby seafood processing restaurant.
