Just as Liu Zhao and Mo Jing hung up the phone, they came down the stairs. The scene in the elevator shocked them. Fortunately, they were both worldly-wise and calmly asked, "What does the director say we should do?"
Wang Shiyan succinctly stated, "Dispose of the body and restore the elevator lobby to its original state."
Liu Zhao's superpower is fire, making him the perfect person to destroy the corpse in this situation. However, the corpse is difficult to handle in the elevator. Yu Xin's superpower is strength, which allows him to easily drag the corpse out and throw it into the corridor.
"Now you can burn it."
The flames gradually engulfed the corpse until it was reduced to ashes, at which point Liu Zhao withdrew the flames.
Mo Jing's superpower is water. He conjured a water column to clean the corridor and then rinsed the elevator lobby until it was spotless before stopping.
"Alright, let's call it a day." Wang Shi led his men out.
Li Yucheng removed the barrier when he saw them appear at the building entrance. Seeing that they were all unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go, get in the car and go back to the bureau to write the report. After you're done, Director Li will treat you to dinner, hahaha. After all, I just got promoted today."
The men's faces relaxed. "Congratulations on your promotion! We'll have a celebration banquet later!"

Ye Jiu watched the police car leave downstairs with a puzzled look. "They haven't even searched our house yet, they haven't even come upstairs. Have they caught the suspect?"
Shen Que put his arm around her neck and rested his head on her shoulder. "I don't know, maybe they caught them. They seem very happy."
"It's good that they caught us, but I didn't expect them to be so efficient. I'm prepared not to go downstairs to throw out the trash tonight."
Shen Que's eyes darted around. How could he not know Ye Jiu's little scheme? Was throwing out the trash just a simple matter? "Should we go downstairs to throw out the trash now? We can also browse the food stalls along the roadside."
Ye Jiu pushed his head away, "Go quickly." After saying that, she ran back to the bedroom to change her clothes.
After the two changed their clothes, they each carried a bag of trash downstairs, threw the trash into the trash can, and turned a corner outside the community to find a food street. Although it was only 6:30, there were already many vendors, and the aroma of food wafted from one end of the street to the other.
Even though she knew that the food street only sold a few things, Ye Jiu still liked to come, and she especially enjoyed shopping with Shen Que.
She has big eyes and a small belly. Although she looks thin, she can eat a lot, making her a perfect "garbage can".
After strolling through the food street, we were almost full. We walked down the road to digest our food. This road leads all the way down to a park. The park is quite large, with people doing square dancing, Tai Chi, and all sorts of other things.
Ye Jiu's legs were starting to ache from walking so far, so she found a bench and pulled Shen Que to sit down.
"Phew, so tired." Ye Jiu leaned back in her chair and looked up at the sky. There were an unusually large number of stars tonight. She tugged at Chen Que's clothes. "Look up quickly, the stars are so beautiful tonight!"
Shen Que looked up, not at the starry sky, but at an unexpected "person" in the tree next to him.
Xin Mao's vines clinging to the tree transformed into hands, waving to him, a smile playing on his lips.
"Long time no see," he said.
Shen Que ignored him and immediately hugged Ye Jiu, saying, "Sister, I feel a bit cold. Let's go back first."
Ye Jiu touched his arm, and Shen Que tried to lower his body temperature; it was indeed cool to the touch.
"It seems so. Don't catch a cold. Let's go, let's hurry back."
Ye Jiu held Chen Que's hand, and they each scanned a shared bicycle to go home.
Shen Que rode very fast, as if something was chasing him from behind. Ye Jiu scratched his head, thinking, "Won't it be even colder riding this fast?"
Back home, Shen Que coaxed Ye Jiu to go to sleep.
Once you've settled your sister in, you can go deal with that guy.
That night, as darkness deepened, the city lights illuminated the sky above the city and also the faces of the two people on the rooftop.
Xin Mao looked Shen Que up and down with curiosity. "It's been several years since I last saw you. You seem to be becoming more and more human."
Shen Que didn't waste any words with him. A tentacle emerged from the shadows and "whoosh," pierced through Xin Mao's abdomen, leaving a large hole without bleeding. Tiny vines emerged from the center of the hole to strangle the tentacle.
During their struggle, the tentacles of the two men broke off, and then Xinmao's vines slowly repaired the hole in the abdomen.
He felt wronged. "Why do you want to kill me as soon as we meet, brother?"
The gentle moonlight shone on their faces, and the two of them had exactly the same face!
Xinmao has straight hair, while Chenque has curly hair.
"You call her 'sister' now, can I call her that too?" Xin Mao's eyes were blank, with a touch of innocent cruelty. "She likes you, so she should like me too, right?"
After saying that, he remembered something and pouted, "She seems to smell even better. You promised me that we would each spend a day with her, but you went back on your word and locked me up underground."
The wind ruffled their hair, and Xin Mao spoke politely again, "So, is it my turn now?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Que frantically stabbed several tentacles at Xin Mao, leaving many holes in his body. However, he did not back down at all. His powerful regenerative ability repaired him the moment the tentacles left his body, and apart from his clothes becoming more tattered, there was no indication that he had been injured.
Xin Mao patted his shoulder and looked down at the holes in his clothes. "You poked so many holes in me, ruined my clothes, it's so annoying. You know perfectly well I can't die, and by the same token, I can't kill you either. Can't we just live in peace?"
"This is bad." Shen Que said coldly. "Did you release that dandelion?"
Xin Mao looked at him suspiciously. "What dandelions? Did those things get mixed in?"
Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Chen Que withdrew his tentacles. No matter how many times he saw that identical face, he still felt nauseous.
"Why can't you die? That way, my sister will belong to me alone..." Shen Que murmured.
“But you can’t die either, and my sister can’t be mine alone.” Xin Mao straightened himself up and grinned. “You can’t trap me this time.”
They are the people who know each other best in the world. They have been intertwined since birth, and time cannot dilute their connection, nor can death separate them.
Xin Mao's left hand transformed into vines that seeped into the ground. The branches and leaves on the vines were lush and green. These vines wrapped around Chen Que's hand. "We are clearly the same thing. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
Shen Que's body turned into liquid and retreated, reforming into a human form five meters away from him.
"nausea."
The vines lost their support and scattered on the ground.
"Don't touch me with your disgusting vines."
Xin Mao retracted the vines. "Brother Mingming's tentacles are more disgusting. The tentacles are ugly in color and have that wet, sticky liquid on them. Sister will definitely like my vines more."
Shen Que recalled Ye Jiu's plants, which she kept killing one after another, and how she pounded her chest and swore she would never buy flowers again. He curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Maybe."
Shen Que could already imagine Ye Jiu chasing him away after discovering his vines.
