Bai Xinyu was happy to finally have an answer to the case, so she happily started playing on her phone and even discussed with Yue Jiuling what to eat that night.
Bai Xinyu had just started by asking if they should go to Xiaobaicai's restaurant for a free meal when she saw Mu Xiaoyi come out of the interrogation room with a camera, her brows furrowed.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyi's appearance, Bai Xinyu called out to her, "What's wrong? Is Wu Zitong not cooperating with you because you look like this? Should I transform and go in to scare him?"
“No need,” Mu Xiaoyi said as she returned to her seat. “It’s not that he’s not cooperating, it’s that he says that person isn’t him.”
"Huh? Not him?"
Bai Xinyu asked in surprise, "Could it be that the person who told Xiao Jin's roommate that the headless ghost was a curse wasn't him?"
“Yes, Wu Zitong said he had only met Zhu Botuan and Huang Jian, and didn’t know Xiao Jin’s roommates at all.”
Mu Xiaoyi handed the camera back to Xiaobaicai and said, "Oh dear, so who exactly is that person?"
Yue Jiuling suddenly spoke up, "Could it just be a fraud?"
"Hmm, a scammer?"
Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were sharing a Coke; to be more precise, Ya Zi generously shared his Coke with Yue Jiuling.
When Yue Jiuling saw Mu Xiaoyi turn her gaze to her, she continued, "My guess is that the one Xiao Jin's roommates encountered might have been a fraud, or perhaps a charlatan with no real skills, which is why they said that the headless ghost was a curse."
"Hmm, to be honest, I can't figure this out either. It feels a bit strange..."
Bai Xinyu also spoke up, touching her recently rounded chin and saying, "How about we tell Xiao Jin to pay more attention to her roommates? Maybe the people she encountered before had some issues?"
Hidden also said, "I also think that Ouija board game is weird. How can it summon such a ghost? Sigh, to be honest, it's just too much curiosity. Sooner or later, something bad will happen."
"Maybe so, well, I've already told them to be more careful in their daily lives."
As Mu Xiaoyi spoke, she picked up her phone again to send a message.
Ya Zi had already gulped down his cola when he turned around and suddenly said, "That headless ghost, I feel like it's the kind of ghost that's being controlled, but that's just a guess."
"Hmm, okay, let's leave this matter for now. Anyway, nothing's happened yet. Let's close the case properly and then go celebrate!"
Hiding, she looked at her phone and said, "Director Yu said he probably won't be back this month, and told us to focus on our work. So, how about we leave work early tonight and go out for dinner?"
"Okay~ We're already starving, but the east wind hasn't returned yet, so we'll have to wait a bit longer~"
Bai Xinyu jumped up and happily tidied her desk.
Yue Jiuling was also packing her things. As she did so, she asked Mu Xiaoyi, "By the way, why does it take Dongfeng so long to get to the underworld? Isn't it enough to just take him to the River of Oblivion? Are we supposed to watch him drink Meng Po's soup?"
"How would I know? I've never taken a ghost servant to the underworld before."
Mu Xiaoyi said casually, "Maybe Dongfeng really did watch him drink the Meng Po soup before coming back."
Because ghost servants unconsciously follow their masters, going wherever they go, Ye Dongfeng, to prevent any mishaps and to avoid the ghost servants running away to find their masters, simply cut in line and sent Zhu Botuan to be reincarnated.
Just as everyone was discussing why Ye Dongfeng hadn't returned yet, he did. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he said, "Oh my god, this ghost servant is unbelievable. I finally managed to get him to cut in line, but as soon as he was released to drink the Meng Po soup, he desperately tried to run towards the human world to find his master. Luckily, there were many ghost messengers nearby, and we all worked together to catch him and get the soup, otherwise I would have been exhausted."
"Haha~ You've worked hard. By the way, do you know where he was reincarnated? Shall we go and take a look?"
He handed Ye Dongfeng a glass of water and said...
Ye Dongfeng took a sip of water and said with a complicated expression, "Sigh, let's not go. Because I cut in line, many of the ghosts in line complained. To appease them, Meng Po simply told him to reincarnate as a pig. Anyway, he'll be an idiot in his next life, so being a pig is fine. He can just become a human in the next life after that."
