Yokai Office

Chapter 14

Shen Xi swallowed subconsciously, "What?"

"Is this yours?" Zong Ci directly took out the pendant and asked.

As soon as Shen Xi saw the pendant, his expression turned pale. He nodded truthfully, "It's mine. Zong, why is this pendant here with you?"

Zongci pulled out a photo of the deceased and stated calmly, "The student wearing this pendant fell to his death in the No. [-] teaching building of Chenguang High School just this afternoon. Since he was the only person in the surveillance footage captured, it is preliminarily determined that Died by suicide. But..."

"However, the Zong team used spiritual power to detect the deceased and found that his body was covered in black mist. It is very likely that evil spirits entered his body and died of an abnormal suicide." Liu Huo finished speaking.

Shen Xi was secretly startled when he heard what the two said.

He remembered the state of the student's words and deeds when he met him in the morning.

The more I thought about it, the more I lost my confidence. At the end, I was almost in a state of crying.

"I, I'm too unlucky..."

Seeing him like this, Zong Ci had a look of helplessness in his eyes.

The last case was completed less than a month ago, and now the second case he took over involved Shen Xi again...

Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence?

"Okay, explain the matter to me first." Zong Ci did not doubt Shen Xi.

But he couldn't miss any clues about the deceased!

Shen Xi understood that this was a necessary step in investigating the case and did not object.

He was feeling uneasy, but fortunately, seeing the other party's expression, he didn't suspect him.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, brought Zongci and Liuhuo into the store, and stated what happened in the morning from beginning to end, without daring to omit anything.

"He told you that he has been having nightmares these days? Did you tell me the specific content?" Zong Ci grasped the point.

Shen Xi shook his head, "I didn't say anything. I thought he was a ghost, so I didn't think much about it."

He now feels a deep sense of self-blame, if not for his low level of spiritual power, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

"En." Zong Ci also knew that Shen Xi would not lie, seeing his guilt-ridden expression, he felt inexplicably unbearable.

"Shen Xi, this matter has nothing to do with you. Your monster clan birthday pendant is a good thing for ordinary people. It's a pity that the evil thing that the deceased faced... probably had a higher level of spiritual power."

Hearing Zong Ci's persuasion, Shen Xi felt a little more comfortable after thinking about it.

Zong Ci saw his expression turned, and didn't say much.

On the contrary, Liu Huo's eyes widened: When did Team Zong learn to comfort others?

Thinking of the cold clan in the past...

Ah, the world is wonderful.

Just at this moment, a call came from Zong Ci's mobile phone.

Zongci got up and walked to the door of the store, and connected.

The two of them chatted for some unknown reason, and Zong Ci even looked back at Shen Xi during the conversation.Shen Xi, who was being watched, didn't know why, but subconsciously put on a cute look.Can't help but think in my mind——

Zong team?Um?What do you see me doing?Are you looking for my help?

Zong Ci who was answering the phone was suddenly taken aback.

What's going on with Shen Xi's expression of "obediently waiting for the master to feed him"?

"okay, I get it."

Zong Ci quickly hung up the phone, walked back again, and shouted, "Shen Xi."

"Ah? Yes!" Shen Xi stood up hastily with a blank face.

"This case will be assisted by you, and the reward will be the same as last time. Do you want to come?"

This is not what Zongci meant.

In fact, the last time the director of the Monster Bureau learned about Shen Xi's analytical ability, he had been trying to recruit him.

It's a pity that Shen Xi picked up the reward and the canned food, and left in a hurry.

With a wave of the sleeves, without leaving a wisp of 'dog hair', the back is chic.

Seeing that he missed the right opportunity, the director of the monster bureau had no choice but to give up.

This time, as soon as I heard that Zongci was going to handle a new case, I mentioned it on the phone without saying a word.

Zong Ci has already learned the temperament of the leader of the Monster Bureau.What's more, he also felt that Shen Xi's analytical ability was not bad.

So, in the phone call just now, I answered.

Shen Xi, who was named, was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "No problem!"

nonsense!Royal deep sea canned food!There is still a hundred thousand rewards!

Whoever refuses is a fool!

The 'not stupid' Shen Xi shook her invisible tail, thinking happily.

Seeing his excited look, Zong Ci didn't say much, "Liu Huo, you and Shen Xi go to the Inspectorate first, and Old Fu will wait for you there."

Hearing this, Shen Xi hurriedly asked, "Team Zong, what about you?"

"I'll go to two places first, and I'll meet you at the Inspectorate later."

"okay."

***

07:30 in the evening.

Zongci, who was out, finally returned to the office.

Shen Xi and Liu Huo were discussing with the deceased's information, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately put down their things, "Team Zong."

Fu Chenglin also walked towards Zongci, and asked directly, "What was the result?"

"Just like Ye Min who jumped off the building in the afternoon, the two students who jumped to their deaths a few days ago also had abnormal black mist all over their bodies. However, because the length of death is different, the concentration of the black mist is also different."

Since the time of death was not long, the bodies of the other two students have not yet been cremated.

Zongci just went to the funeral parlor to investigate the matter of 'Black Fog'.

Obviously, the circumstances of the three deceased are consistent.

Zong Ci poured himself a glass of water, and walked directly to the conference room, "Come over and discuss."

For his vigorous and resolute work habits, the three of them have already adapted to varying degrees.

When the four of them sat down in the conference room, Zong Ci looked around and said, "Shen Xi, tell me first."

Shen Xi was surprised, and pointed to himself, "Me?"

"Yes, it's you. I haven't had time to read the information on the deceased, so you just take it and tell me your speculation by the way."

Among the four, only Shen Xi had seen Ye Min, one of the dead.

Shen Xi got the order without much delay.He walked directly to the front with the information and said seriously.

"Han Ningning, 19 years old, female, a third-year student at Chengxi High School, jumped to her death from the top floor of the school dormitory on Monday."

"Mu Yifeng, male, a third-year student at Bingwang High School, jumped to his death from the top of the school building on Tuesday."

"Ye Min, 19 years old, male, a third-year student at Chenguang High School, jumped to his death from the roof of the school teaching building this afternoon."

Shen Xi finished the basic information in one breath, and said again.

"According to eyewitness reports, the three dead students all shouted 'I was wrong' before jumping off the building, and then jumped to their deaths. Because of the results of the Zong team, it can be preliminarily concluded that the three died abnormally. And , I met Ye Min, one of the dead, in the morning, and he told me that he had been haunted by nightmares recently. I observed him, his face was very pale and he had dark circles under his eyes, so what he said should be true."

Shen Xi paused, and looked at Zong Ci involuntarily.

It was only at this moment that he realized that he had said so much in one breath...

"Very good." Zong Ci boasted for the first time, "Any guesses?"

Shen Xi, who received the praise, couldn't help being dazed——

Was he praised by the Zong team?very good?Team Zong actually praised him for being good?

Wow!I really am very powerful!

The more Shen Xi thought about it, the happier he became, his eyes were bright, and the tips of his ears were reddish, "Not yet. I just think that the three deceased are probably entangled with something, and they can't get rid of it. It may also be controlled, so they just make such a move."

"Team Zong, they are all high school seniors, are they under too much pressure from study?" Liu Huo looked at the information and guessed.

People are under a lot of pressure, their mental state and physical condition are affected, and they are likely to be taken advantage of by unclean things.

Before Zong Ci could speak, Fu Shenglin on the side vetoed this point.

"These three people have a good family background, they can be regarded as the rich second generation. Except for Ye Min's academic performance, the other two are masters who eat, drink and play, and don't study hard. Besides, they are surrounded by family members, where is the pressure?"

Shen Xi thought of Ye Min's money situation in the morning, and nodded in agreement.

Zong Ci finally spoke, "Before these three people died, the most puzzling doubt was that they all said 'I was wrong'."

"Was I wrong?" Zong Ci asked thoughtfully, "What did I do wrong?"

The three of them couldn't answer for a while, so they all chose to remain silent.

yes!what did they doOr, what did they experience before they died?

At this moment, Fu Shenglin's phone rang suddenly.

"Hello? What's the matter?"

"Fu Bureau! Just received a call for help, another student in Lujiang District is about to jump off the building!"
