Yokai Office

Chapter 16

——Go back to my house.

???

Zongci's words stirred up waves in Liuhuo's heart.

Along the way, he pretended to be calm.Until I returned to the apartment, I watched helplessly as a person and a dog took the elevator upstairs.

"Zong team and Xixi... what's going on?"

Facing the '11th Floor' displayed on the outside of the elevator, Liu Huo muttered troubledly.In the end, he couldn't come up with any ideas, and turned back to his own house.

On the other side, Zong Ci placed Shen Xi on the sofa, and took a closer look at his wound.

Except for four meat claws that were seriously injured, there were some small wounds on his body.

"Woo." Shen Xi raised his eyelids, and saw Zong Ci standing beside him.

[Zong team? 】

"Are you awake?" Zong Ci saw him, "I'll treat the wounds on your limbs. As for the minor wounds on your body, you can apply the medicine yourself when the time comes."

Zongci's spiritual power treatment is effective for wounds though.But the spiritual power in Shen Xi's body was too weak to withstand his excessive spiritual power treatment.

Of course, the most fundamental thing is that Zong Ci thinks it is unnecessary.

It was just a minor injury, Shen Xi didn't want to cry.

【good. 】Shen Xi responded obediently.Originally, he thought that Zong's team would not even treat the wound on his claw.

After all, compared to the fatal wound on his abdomen last time, Shen Xi could still bear this little pain.

Zong Ci didn't like to talk too much, so he quietly treated Shen Xi's wound, and after making sure he was fine, he went to the bathroom.

Shen Xi curled up, nestled on the sofa, deserted, but didn't feel wronged.

For such a small shop in Baili District, the annual rent costs a lot of money.So Shen Xi didn't spend any more money to rent a house, and the only place where he could sleep was the cubicle behind the shop.

The cubicles are too small to get out of bed.

So Shen Xi bought a cushion, and turned back to his body every night to sleep.

For him, the sofa in Zong Lie's house is already a luxurious double bed.

The sound of a shower came from the bathroom, Shen Xi's ears moved, and he suddenly wanted to take a bath.

The wound is a trivial matter, the main thing is that his body is dirty and makes him uncomfortable.

Just as Shen Xi was thinking about this, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.Zong Ci came out wearing a bathrobe, stood by the door, and said to Shen Xi from a distance, "I know you can regain your human form, hurry up and take a bath."

Shen Xi was startled, and immediately buried her head in her soft body.

Team Zong actually saw it!Know I can change back into human form!

Shen Xi's tail flicked, then drooped again: It's over, will Zong team dislike me for being dishonest?

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps entered the bedroom that the guilt-ridden Shen Xi jumped off the sofa, hopping with short legs, and rushed into the bathroom.

Shen Xi turned into a human form, took off the dirty clothes on his body, hung them on the dryer after washing, and then went in to take a shower.

……

After a while, Shen Xi came out of the bathroom with his clothes on.

There was an extra blanket on the empty sofa.On the coffee table, there is a medicine box.

The living room was dim with only one side light on.

Shen Xi was startled, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.He grinned stupidly, and turned his gaze to the closed bedroom door opposite.

He approached, stretched out his hand and knocked carefully on the door.

There was no movement inside.

Shen Xi didn't feel lost either, he put his face close to the door and said softly and sincerely, "Zongci, thank you."

Without the respectful titles of superiors and subordinates, just calling them by their first names is very heart-warming.

Zong Ci half leaned on the bed, and was taken aback when he heard the other party's words of thanks.

He paused for a few seconds, and finally let out an inaudible chuckle.

***

Nine o'clock the next morning.Jindu Inspectorate, Office.

"Zong Ci, you are here." Fu Chenglin said.

Liu Huo pulled Shen Xi together, found a random place to sit down, "Good morning Fu Ju."

"I have greeted the leader of the Monster Bureau. Regarding this case, you are still working in the Supervision Bureau."

As it concerns ordinary human students, there is nothing wrong with this decision.

"En." Zong Ci replied.

"Fu Ju, what happened to Chi Lin who was rescued yesterday?" Shen Xiji asked about this matter.

The subordinates sent by Fu Shenglin are monitoring Chi Lin's situation 24 hours a day.When asked about this, Fu Shenglin quickly answered.

"Woke up once in the early morning, but he was in a state of confusion. The doctor gave him a sedative. I heard that he has a high fever now, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing this, Shen Xi was a little worried.

"I guess it's because I stood on the roof for a long time last night, and my body and mind are both weak, so the evil wind entered my body and caught a cold?" Liu Huo speculated.

Zong Ci said, "We'll wait until he wakes up after his fever subsides. He has my spiritual protection technique in his body, so nothing will happen for the time being."

Of course, the accident he mentioned was that the unknown 'evil spirit' invaded his body again.

Fu Shenglin nodded, and changed the topic to the business, "Have you discovered anything new?"

"Chi Lin knew the first three deceased." Shen Xi said to the three of them.

"Know?" Liuhuo was a little puzzled by this conclusion, "Xixi, how did you know for sure?"

Shen Xi glanced at Zong Ci, knowing that the other party must have understood his inference.

Sure enough, Zong Ci noticed his eyes, and said simply, "Yesterday, Shen Xi and I went up to the roof, and Shen Xi mentioned the names of three other people in the process of persuading Chi Lin."

Shen Xi recalled the conversation last night, and said affirmatively, "And Chi Lin responded to the names of the three of them!"

Liu Huo didn't know this, but now he understands after hearing the explanation.

"But the four of them are in different schools..." Liu Huo asked again.

Fu Shenglin answered, "That's not the point. Although they don't belong to the same school, they all come from wealthy families, which is very similar. Could it be that they met for other reasons and played together in private?"

"The inference that the four know each other can't be a big mistake." Zong Ci concluded.He paused, and then made another point, "Also, the 'perpetrators' who control them behind the scenes are not looking for targets for no reason, but targeting Chi Lin and his group."

As for why this group of people was targeted... further investigation is needed.

"Old Fu, go and check the private connection between these four people."

Fu Chenglin couldn't help with 'monsters', but he was quite capable of investigating 'ordinary people'.

This case was only taken over yesterday, and Chi Lin jumped off the building again, so many things were delayed and there was no time to thoroughly investigate.Chi Lin, one of the parties involved, was still in a coma and could not make any inquiries.

If you want to know the private relationship between the four students, you can only use the interrogation system in the bureau first.

"Well. You discuss it first, and I'll check it out." Fu Shenglin got up and said to the three of them.

"Okay." Zong Ci replied.

***

The next afternoon, Fu Shenglin found the three of them and gathered in the office.

"Fu Ju, have you found anything?"

Fu Chenglin breathed out softly, "I found out a little bit, but..."

"But what?" Shen Xi asked.

Fu Chenglin glanced at Zong Ci, the other party's eyes were deep, waiting for his words.

"Old Fu? What's the matter?"

Hearing the other party's question, Fu Chenglin waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Anyway, something is better than nothing.

"Let me start from the beginning. They have known each other in private. They have been in contact since the second year of high school, and they often get together. The most recent meeting was in March this year. Later, there were basically no traces to be found. We also found out that they had regular meetings. The point is that it is a rental house, but now the rental object has been changed."

Fu Shenglin paused, and continued, "The most important thing is that they should have caused trouble."

Human technology is changing with each passing day, not to mention official investigative methods.

What Fu Shenglin said is naturally based on evidence.

"Have you caused trouble?" Shen Xi immediately asked, "What happened?"

"At first, there was a relevant report, but later, it was said that it was resolved through private negotiation. But it is not clear what it is."

Hearing this, Shen Xi and Liu Huo looked at each other in blank dismay.

Not sure?As the head of the Inspectorate, Fu Shenglin, is there any news that he can't grasp?

Fu Shenglin frowned, paused for a long time, and then said helplessly, "My subordinates and I have searched for a long time, but we only found this little clue. If I guessed correctly, the report about them...was Deliberately erased!"
