Yokai Office

Zong Ci and Shen Xi sent Snow God away and returned home at ten o'clock in the evening.

"rest early."

"Team Zong, I can't sleep." Shen Xi took off his coat, sat down on the sofa, and asked with a sad face, "What should we do with this case now?"

Their original speculation was that the assailant used snow as a weapon, killed the victim by freezing and hypothermia, and then divided the corpse, then wrapped the corpse with snow, formed countless snow balls, and compacted it.At extreme temperatures, compacted snow masses can condense and form ice cubes.As the temperature rose during the day, some ice cubes melted, exposing the remains of the corpse, and the crime scene that several people saw was formed.

But now, everything was overturned by Snow God's words.

——Recently, there are no monsters making trouble with snow.

Snow God, as the god who rules all things in winter, has good intentions, so what he said is naturally credible.

"The assailant did not use snow as a weapon, but as the Snow God said before, using frost, water, ice as a weapon..." Shen Xi counted on his fingers, "then the range of monsters we want to screen will be even wider. Big!"

Zong Ci also thought of this, and frowned slightly.

Just at this time, a call came in, it was Fu Shenglin.

Zong Ci had a bad feeling, picked up the phone, "Hello."

"Zong Ci, Huangyuan Road, Business District." The background sound on the other end of the phone was very noisy, with police sirens and loud voices coming and going.Zong Ci's face changed slightly, he glanced at Shen Xi, and turned on the loudspeaker directly.

On the phone, Fu Shenglin said shortly, "The same case as in the daytime, two cases in a row!"

Shen Xi stood up immediately, clutching the backpack tightly in his hand.He looked at Zong Ci with a nervous expression on his face.

"Send me the specific location." Zong Ci hung up the phone, and casually threw the coat on the sofa to Shen Xi, "Let's go."

***

At ten o'clock in the evening, during this time period, the bustle of the business district gradually reached its climax.

The crime took place near the night market in the business district.

People come and go, crowded and noisy.

Half an hour ago, a night market stall owner in a hurry passed by, but his foot slipped and fell to the ground.And when she got up, she found that her body was stained with blood.

The stall owner looked down on the ground and found countless small snow balls mixed with blood.

She stepped on a snow ball casually, and saw the stumped limbs and flesh exposed inside, and immediately screamed in fright.

The high decibels of a woman when frightened cannot be underestimated.

In an instant, people nearby were attracted, and everyone was terrified by this scene!

After the inspectors arrived at the scene, they immediately checked the surrounding area.Unexpectedly, at the corner less than 20 meters away, there is actually a crime scene!

In Jindu, the area with the strictest law and order, two appalling cases happened in the same time period, or even in the same location!

In addition, it was a lively time, and it was immediately spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands!

There are even rumors and panic on the Internet.

Even if the relevant departments of Jindu are trying their best to block it, it will be difficult to stop it!

***

The goose-feather snow showed no sign of stopping.

The chill spread and froze in everyone's heart.

When Zong Ci rushed to the scene of the crime, Fu Shenglin's face was already gloomy.

"Zongci, it's the same as the case in Jincheng this morning!" Fu Shenglin didn't say a single word of nonsense, "The surveillance was fine, but the second after the victim appeared, it was covered by snow!"

When Zong Ci heard the words, his expression changed.

"The surveillance cameras were 'suddenly' covered twice in succession. It can't be a coincidence! Team Zong, the assailant must have done it!" Shen Xi's mind was spinning fast.

Zong Ci also thought of this, and nodded slightly, "Go to the scene of the crime and have a look."

All irrelevant personnel have been taken away, and the suspended white lighting illuminates the scene of the crime.

Just by looking at them, they noticed the difference.

"Team Zong." Shen Xi shouted, "The broken corpses are all wrapped in snow!"

And in the morning, at the scene of the crime in Jincheng - most of the corpses were wrapped in ice!

Zong Ci explained, "The murder happened not long ago."

At sub-zero temperatures, snow masses condense into ice cubes.And such changes take time.

Shen Xi suddenly thought of something, and frowned, "Fu Ju, where is the other crime scene?!"

"It's right in front." Fu Shenglin pointed in a direction, "Did you see it? It's just around the corner."

Without saying a word, Shen Xi ran over.

The situation at the other crime scene is exactly the same!Countless corpses were also wrapped in snow!

"How could this be?" Shen Xi looked at all this in disbelief.

Footsteps came from behind, and Zong Ci was walking towards him.

"Team Zong..." Shen Xi looked back at him, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

Seeing all this, Zong Ci affirmed, "The perpetrator used snow as a weapon to commit murder."

Their initial judgment was not wrong at all!

"But the Snow God said that no monster has used snow to commit crimes recently..." Shen Xi murmured.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.Just at this moment, Zong Ci spoke.

"Snow God is lying, we were misled by her."

The guess in his heart was consistent with Zong Ci, but Shen Xi didn't feel happy, he really couldn't figure it out, "Team Zong, tell me...why did Snow God lie?"

Zong Ci calmly analyzed, "First, she did the case herself. Second, she is covering up the perpetrator."

Of these two speculations, Shen Xi was more inclined to the latter.

Fu Chenglin came forward with the information he had just found, "Zong Ci, Shen Xi, the identities of the two deceased have been confirmed."

The two took the documents and read them.

The deceased Tao Wei, male, 34 years old, night market stall owner.

The deceased Lu Meihe, female, 29 years old, was an office worker.

Plus the murder that happened in Jincheng.

The deceased Zhu Heng, male, 22 years old, was a college student.

Three cases with the same modus operandi, three victims.

There are different genders, ages, and occupations, and they don't even have any relationship with each other!

The case is getting more and more confusing!

***

"Old Fu, contact the Monster Bureau, tidy up these two corpses and bring them back," Zong Ci urged.

Definitely not passionate murder!There must be something in common among the three deceased!

Must find out!

"Well, I'll get in touch right away." Fu Shenglin agreed.

The sensation of this case has far exceeded expectations. Even though the relevant departments are now controlling the case and blocking the words related to the case, it still caused panic in the hearts of the masses.

Since an hour ago, Fu Shenglin has been under constant pressure from above.

Fu Shenglin had a hard time saying it, so he could only cooperate with Zong Ci as much as possible.

They returned after disposing of the dismembered corpses at the scene of the crime.

***

The next day, Zong Ci and Shen Xi both got up early because they had a case in hand.

Shen Xi yawned, imitating Zongci's habit, and poured himself a glass of warm water, "Zongtu, shall we go to the Inspectorate or the Detective Office today?"

While talking, he was still a little sleepy.

"Go to the monster bureau." Shen Xi said simply and clearly, "Liu Huo stayed at the bureau to work and didn't return all night. Let's take his place."

Although Liuhuo is small in stature, he has a great sense of responsibility.

Several murders occurred in a row yesterday, so he simply stayed in the Monster Bureau and never came back.

Hearing this, Shen Xi immediately lost all sleepiness, "Then let's move quickly!"

How can it work without sleeping?No wonder it's not tall!

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly picked up his backpack and opened the door.

There was a huge temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and the sudden drop in temperature made Shen Xi shiver and sneezed.

Seeing this, Zong Ci frowned and said, "Go wear a scarf, the temperature today is lower than yesterday."

"I don't have a scarf." Shen Xi rubbed his nose, stretched out his hand to wrap his warm coat, "Zongtu, I'm fine, just get used to it, let's go."

Slightly nasal, soft and glutinous.

There was a hint of worry in Zong Ci's eyebrows, he sighed softly and turned back to the bedroom.

"Huh?" Shen Xi let out a muffled snort, but taking this opportunity, he quickly poured a mouthful of hot water into his mouth.

He bounced around again, trying to warm up his body.

Not long after, Zong Ci came out of the bedroom, but with a pure black scarf in his hand.

"Put it on."

Shen Xi hurriedly took the scarf thrown by Zong Ci, but his heart was filled with great joy——

Team Zong is caring about me?Are you afraid I'll catch a cold?

"Why are you in a daze? Don't you put it on yet?" Zong Ci reminded lightly.

"Oh, good!" Shen Xi unfolded the scarf, and wrapped it around his neck seriously.

Fluffy and warm.

It seems to still have the mint fragrance that Zong team is used to.

It smells good.

"Thank you, Team Zong! I won't dirty this scarf!" Shen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a smile.

"En." Zong Ci responded, and went out first, not letting Shen Xi see the faint smile on his mouth.

Shen Xi hurriedly followed.

***

It was another night of snowfall, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker.

The weather is extremely cold.

Fortunately, the two of them stepped into the room after getting off the car.

The headquarters of the Monster Bureau is located in the Jindu Museum, and an enchantment has been set up with magic, so that ordinary people cannot enter.

It was the first time for Shen Xi to enter the General Bureau of the Monster Bureau, and he followed Zong Ci nervously.

Zongci was very familiar with the Monster Bureau, so he brought Shen Xi to a place with ease.

Fingerprint input, the closed door opens.

As the connection between the demon world and the human world, the equipment of the Monster Bureau is also advancing with the times.

A strong reagent smell came, which was a bit pungent.

"Team Zong." Someone shouted inside.

Zong Ci glanced sideways at Shen Xi, and motioned for him to enter together.

"Pharmacist, did you find anything on the victim's body?" Zong Ci asked as he walked.

"Yes." The pharmacist from the Monster Bureau who was in charge of the autopsy affirmed.

When Shen Xi heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.

"Come and take a look." The pharmacist pointed to the corpses of the three victims. "Last night, I and the others put together the corpses and restored them with spiritual power, but some parts are still missing."

The two looked up, and as expected, there were three corpses on the bed.

Those with missing noses and eyes, those with broken arms and legs, are not complete.

But compared to yesterday's situation, it's obviously much better!

Shen Xi was amazed inwardly, and he knew at a glance that the 'construction volume' involved was not small.

"Team Zong, although it is incomplete, you will understand it at a glance." Pharmacist affirmed.

Zong Ci didn't say much, and walked forward.He just glanced at it and understood the key point!

That's it!
