Jiang Yuanyuan, feeling hopeless, appealed the case.
"Why is there no corpse? If there were even a corpse, or even a severed finger, my Gu worms could find him by following the scent."
Seven days ago, the police station below received several missing persons reports.
Police checked the surveillance footage and found that the missing person had vanished into thin air, entered a room, and never came out again.
These cases were suspected to be paranormal events and were reported to the Special Administration Bureau.
Jiang Yuanyuan and her two companions went to investigate and detected an unusual yin energy in a certain room.
This yin energy was much heavier than that of ordinary ghosts, and it was filled with a strong bloody aura.
Only ghosts and demons burdened with deep blood sins possess blood energy. These creatures are bloodthirsty and utterly irrational, making them very easy to find.
But this ghost is hidden almost perfectly, so someone must be manipulating it from behind the scenes.
This case has been classified as a murder by sorcerers, whose methods appear to originate from Southeast Asia, a region known for its dark and shady practices.
The three major evil arts of Southeast Asia are raising ghost children, casting spells, and making spirit amulets.
I wonder what kind of sorcerer this is?
Bai Xiuyuan pondered for a long time, "Evil sorcerers wouldn't openly kill people in the capital. They usually operate in Southeast Asia, where it's more chaotic, and dozens of people can disappear without being noticed."
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, "Why would a sorcerer come to the capital to cause trouble? Isn't that digging his own grave?"
Yun Yan rubbed his temples. "Do you still remember Duan Lianyun?"
Jiang Yuanyuan bit the tip of her pen, "Of course I remember. This guy's body was pieced together, and his death was particularly gruesome. It took me a long time to piece it all together."
Duan Lianyun killed Wu Ting, hid her body in a hotel, and was killed on his way to escape the country.
Jiang Yuanyuan added, "The first time we met a big shot was in this case."
Bai Xiuyuan frowned deeply. "Why would a sorcerer kill Duan Lianyun? He was just an ordinary person."
"Who knows? These guys are always crazy. It's perfectly normal for them to kill someone to cheer themselves up if they're unhappy."
Jiang Yuanyuan rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought. "Things that require thinking are so painful."
Bai Xiuyuan stared at the compass. "Evil sorcerers who have killed people carry a special blood aura. I can find this aura using the Heavenly Star Secret Technique, but no blood aura was detected at the crime scene."
Yun Yan analyzed, "There are two possibilities: either the opponent's technique is special and they don't carry any blood energy, or they use something to cover up their blood energy, which is related to their multiple killings."
Lin Xi's words suddenly flashed through his mind, and he tapped the table, "Rest for five hours, and continue the investigation tomorrow."
Okay, good night.
Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, her eyes swollen with dark circles, and went to the rest room to sleep.
If she doesn't sleep soon, she'll develop lividity.
...
Imperial Garden.
After returning home, Lin Xi slept until the afternoon and decided to rest for two days before setting up her stall.
She was the only one in the entire villa; Fu Jingyao had probably gone to the company.
I haven't seen Aunt Wu in a long time. I wonder if her back is better now.
Lin Xi wandered aimlessly around the villa, casually releasing five small paper figures along the way.
As soon as Xiao Mu came out, he went straight to the vegetable garden. "Wow, Master, come quick! My cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and corn have all grown so big!"
Lin Xi went over to take a look, and the field was lush and green.
Green cucumbers grew under the cucumber vines, and long chili peppers hung from the chili pepper bushes.
The tomatoes are pale yellow and are slowly turning red.
The corn has flowered, and the bees are diligently collecting nectar and spreading pollen.
Lin Xi counted, "Cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, cabbages, scallions, and garlic are all ready to eat."
"Xiao Mu, you're amazing."
Xiao Mu smiled happily, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I'll go pick some now, and we can eat them tonight."
"Okay." Lin Xi lay back in the chair and watched him busy himself.
Xiao Huo looked at the withered seedlings in his field and felt a little sad.
Xiao Shui mocked mercilessly, "Who was it that said they could successfully grow it? You're wasting the master's land."
Xiao Huo snorted coldly, "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? Look at your land, it's all waterlogged, and only one corn stalk is still alive."
Xiao Shui raised her chin. "You're better than me. At least one of my seedlings survived, while you didn't even have one."
Xiao Huo puffed up his cheeks and squatted on the ground, withdrawing into himself.
Xiao Tu looked at his two companions, then moved a corn stalk from his own field and placed it in front of Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Xiao Tu, why did you do this?"
Xiao Tu squatted down beside him, raising a sweet smile, "Brother Jin said that a family should love each other."
Xiao Huo felt extremely guilty. "Xiao Tu, I shouldn't have taken your chicken leg before. Next time, I'll save mine for you."
Xiao Tu nodded, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Huo."
Xiao Shui ran over, "Xiao Tu, Xiao Tu, I want a corn stalk too."
"Okay." Xiao Tu moved a corn stalk horizontally as before.
Xiao Shui hugged his arm and said sweetly, "Xiao Tu, you're so nice."
Xiao Huo pushed him away, "Let go of your hand, Xiao Tu is mine."
Xiao Shui wouldn't let go, saying, "Xiao Tu is mine."
"be mine!"
"mine!"
The two started arguing again, leaving Xiaotu caught in the middle, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Jin grabbed one in each hand and threw Xiao Shui and Xiao Huo out.
"You two can argue if you want, but don't drag Xiao Tu into it."
Xiao Shui and Xiao Huo looked at each other, then squatted in a corner and started arguing.
Xiao Tu blinked. "Thank you, Brother Jin."
Xiao Jin, with her hands behind her back, said, "Stay away from those two from now on."
Xiao Tu didn't understand, "Why do they always argue?"
Xiao Jin said, "Water and fire are incompatible."
“I know that, water overcomes fire.” Xiao Tu thought, “Earth generates metal, and… I don’t remember.”
