Yokai Office

When everyone heard the words, they turned their heads and looked at the past.

The strong boy showed annoyed expression, "Xiaoli, you..."

Zong Ci looked at her, nodded in agreement, "Say it."

"Last night, everyone was indeed drinking, and they also played with the drinking order. Because I drink less, Zhu Heng drinks instead of me every time."

Zhu Heng likes Xiaoli, and it's common sense that he can't bear to see the girl he likes being drunk.

"Later, everyone got drunk, and everyone was drunk. Zhu Heng and I were coaxed and punished by everyone because we lost in the game, saying that we would let the leisure greenway walk around. Actually, I It can be seen that everyone is creating opportunities for Zhu Heng."

Finally mentioned the 'Leisure Greenway' where the incident occurred.

Zongci has been observing Xiaoli's expression, it seems that he doesn't seem to be lying.

"Later, as soon as we went out, we found that it was snowing outside. Zhu Heng was afraid that I would freeze, so he asked me to stay in the hall to keep warm." Xiaoli recalled, "He said, the window of our suite was facing the greenway , In order to cope with everyone's surveillance, he trotted around and came back."

Hearing this, Shen Xi immediately approached the window and took a look.As Xiaoli said, it is facing the leisure greenway.You can even see a corner of the crime scene.

"But I waited and waited, but Zhu Heng didn't come back. I was worried that something might happen to him, so I ran out to look for him, but... I saw him hugging a woman."

When Zongci heard the words, his expression changed slightly.

The rest of the people couldn't believe it——

"What? How is that possible?"

"Xiaoli, why didn't you say it earlier?!"

"Little Li, are you kidding me?"

……

Xiaoli showed a wry smile, "I didn't lie to you. To be honest, I was very angry at the time, so I turned around and ran back to the room."

Shen Xi knew it in his heart.

It seems that Xiaoli also has a good impression of Zhu Heng.

"When I got back to the room, everyone was already asleep. I went back to the room and fell asleep after thinking about it."

Drunk overnight, when the five people woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.By this time, the murder had already happened.

Everyone was puzzled when they saw the forbidden line surrounding the leisure greenway from the upstairs window.Seeing that Zhu Heng was not in the room, he asked about Xiaoli.

Xiaoli didn't tell everyone the truth at first, but only said that Zhu Heng was afraid that she would be cold, so he asked her to go back to the room early.

……

Not long after, inspectors came to the door and told them about Zhu Heng's death.

The five people didn't believe it, they pushed the inspector away and ran to the scene of the crime to see it, but they were almost not scared by the situation at the scene.

Because of the special circumstances of the case, the five people were taken back to the suite by several inspectors, and they were not allowed to leave for the time being.

The sudden situation made several people panic.They privately thought that Zhu Heng had to go to the recreational greenway and lost his life because of the booing proposal last night, so they kept terrified and refused to admit it.

***

"...If you want to find out who killed Zhu Heng, you should find that woman first." Xiaoli whispered her opinion, "She may be the last person who saw Zhu Heng."

Shen Xi glanced at Zong Ci, and spoke for him, "Have you seen that woman's appearance clearly?"

"It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly, I only knew that the other party had long hair." Xiaoli said truthfully.

In addition, she was in a hurry at the time, so she turned around and left directly.

***

Zongci practiced these rhetoric into a basic line, and finally understood a little bit of the situation, but still needs to verify the truth.

He got up, and calmly gave an order, "Liu Huo, check the surveillance video in the hall and the corridor outside the suite."

"Yes!" Liu Huo understood Zong Ci's thoughts, and turned to leave under the task.

Zong Ci approached the window and peeked down.The height of the five-story building is difficult for ordinary people to climb and jump.

Immediately, he turned around and said to the crowd, "Stay here and stay safe. As long as I confirm that the five of you have no time to commit crimes, I will let you leave."

The five sighed to varying degrees.

Zong Ci ignored it and turned to leave.Shen Xi packed up the equipment and walked out immediately.

***

In less than half an hour, Liu Huo came back, "Team Zong, you've seen everything!"

"What was the result?" Fu Shenglin asked first.

"The surveillance in the lobby showed that she and Zhu Heng appeared in the lobby together at 3 o'clock last night, and Zhu Heng left alone. At [-]:[-], Xiaoli went out and came back within [-] minutes. The monitoring in the corridor of the suite showed that since the six of them entered the suite, except for Xiaoli and Zhu Heng who had left, the rest stayed in the room." After Liuhuo finished speaking in one breath, he concluded, "What Xiaoli said just now should be true."

"Old Fu, let them leave. However, contact the Monster Bureau and secretly send someone to watch."

First, in case their judgment is wrong.Second, it is also to prevent the murderer from attacking again.

"No problem, I'll explain it later." Fu Sheng responded quickly, "Zong Ci, do you have any ideas?"

"The victim's body was too damaged. I can only preliminarily judge that the assailant froze the victim at a low temperature before dismembering the body into pieces."

Shen Xi immediately raised his hand and said, "Team Zong, I have some doubts and I still can't figure it out!"

Zong Ci looked at him, his serious expression slightly relaxed, "Tell me about it."

"Then I'll tell you." Shen Xi moved a little closer to his side and asked again.

Zong Ci was helpless, reached out to touch his head, and pushed it away a little, "Speak well."

"Oh." Shen Xi shrugged his nose and stretched out three fingers, "First point, if what Xiaoli said is true, then who is the woman in her mouth? Is it possible that she is the perpetrator this time? "

"Secondly, Zhu Heng's exact time of death is also in doubt."

After all, it took nearly six hours from the last time Zhu Heng appeared on the surveillance screen to when he was found dead in the morning.

It was a snowy day, the temperature was extremely low, the monitoring was covered by snow, and the corpse appeared in this way again.The real time of death is difficult to determine.

"What about the third one?" Liu Huo asked after being aroused by Shen Xi's curiosity.

Shen Xi glanced at him with disgust, "You are stupid, the third point is of course the simplest point! What is the perpetrator's motive for killing? Is there any premeditation? Is it just passion killing?"

"Oh, that's right!" Although Liu Huo was dismissed by Shen Xi, he didn't care about it at all, instead he began to think seriously.

Of course, the result of this thinking is blank.

In desperation, Liu Huo had no choice but to throw the question to Zong Ci, "Zong team, what do you think?"

Zongci looked at the three of them and said, "Old Fu, transport the corpse back to the Monster Bureau. I will contact the relevant personnel there and look for clues from the corpse. As for the time of death, I will contact the Judge of the Nether Division when I go back and have a look." Could you ask the exact time of Zhu Heng's death?"

"As for that woman, I have doubts for the time being." Zong Ci paused, and then said, "Liuhuo, go back and check the monster files in the bureau. Female, long hair, at least 500 years old, good at using ice."

Liuhuo took out the electronic device and quickly recorded these characteristics.

The monster clan has continued from ancient times to the present. Although the reproductive ability is not as good as before, the number is still huge, not to mention there are those... who are hidden in the demon world and have advanced cultivation bases.

Fortunately, after decades of statistics, the files of the Monster Bureau are still relatively complete.

Now we can only rely on the only clues to make a preliminary screening.

"Okay, I'll start looking into it as soon as I get back!" Liu Huo was always able to complete the orders well.

Zong Ci glanced at the time, he was so busy that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Let's go back first," Zong Ci said.

After all, many things can only be performed with the help of the Monster Bureau, so it is really unnecessary to stay here.

Hearing this, Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand cautiously and said expectantly, "Team Zong, I have a small application."

"What?" Zong Ci raised an eyebrow.

"Application for food, I'm hungry." Shen Xi said eagerly, "Don't look at me like this, in fact, my body is still growing."

Well, try to grow from a soft and fluffy dumpling to a majestic big dog!

Liu Huo and Fu Chenglin laughed out loud one after another, and even Zong Ci's eyes were tainted with a smile.

Shen Xi was a little embarrassed, with reddish ears, and explained weakly.

"I usually buy breakfast near the company. I was called here suddenly today, and I haven't had time to eat."

As a result, the more you speak, the softer your voice becomes.

"It seems to be all my fault." Fu Chenglin took the initiative to confess, "If I hadn't been in a hurry to find you, I wouldn't have starved you. Zong Ci, why don't we take it easy and take the two of them to eat first. Not only Shen Xi wants to grow up , even this little guy like Liu Huo needs to eat more."

Liuhuo, who was suddenly pierced in his heart: ...

"Fu Ju, you talk too much!"

"I'm telling the truth. I've known you for so many years, but I haven't seen you grow taller."

Zong Ci ignored the quarrel between the two, and said softly to Shen Xi, "Let's go."

Shen Xi looked at Liuhuo and Fu Chenglin who were still childish and noisy, and simply abandoned them, and caught up with Zongci, "Zongtu, where are we going?"

"Eat." Zong Ci threw out three words.

Shen Xi walked side by side with him, the joy on his face was undisguised.Zong Ci glanced at him, thought it was funny, and added involuntarily, "In case you don't grow up, you still rely on me."

Shen Xi laughed happily twice, but secretly thought of——

Even if the main body grows up in the future, I still want to rely on you.

I just want to hold on tightly to the Zong team and not let go.
