Yokai Office

The fingertips touched the forehead, with a hint of coldness.

Shen Xi's eyes were flustered, and he took a step back subconsciously, but Zong Ci's speed was even faster!

A touch of blue spiritual power easily fell into Shen Xi's forehead along Zong Ci's fingertips.The severe pain spread instantly, quickly invading the entire brain.

"Woo!" Shen Xi cried out in pain.

Unprepared, he staggered backwards and bumped into a chair. His center of gravity was momentarily unstable, and he was about to fall.

At this moment, Zong Ci stretched out his hand and pulled him forward.

Shen Xi was caught off guard and slammed into his arms, and there was a faint mint smell.The pain has disappeared, and it seems that it never existed at all.The chaos in Shen Xi's eyes turned clear, and he heard a voice from above, "Sorry, are you better?"

Shen Xi finally realized that she was falling into the arms of the man at this moment, she was shocked and quickly backed away.

"Just, just now..."

"I cast an inspiration spell on you." Zong Ci's voice was flat, "You have an indirect relationship with the suspect in this case. If necessary, I have to sense your location."

Shen Xi was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of this term, "Is this to prevent me from escaping? Zong, don't worry, my store is still here! You can come to me for questions anytime."

Zong Ci is so good-looking, seeing him a few more times is definitely not a loss!

Thinking of this, Shen Xi couldn't stop smiling.

Zong Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, then he turned around and left, "That's right."

Liu Huo at the side stared at Shen Xi, suddenly feeling sullen.

This little demon?Don't know the inspiration technique?

Do you think the Zong team is preventing him from escaping?

Zong team cast an inspiration technique on him, which is to coexist his perception.That's right, the Zong team can indeed grasp Shen Xi's position at any time.But more importantly, if Shen Xi encounters a dangerous injury, Zong's team will be able to sense it immediately.

Team Zong is obviously protecting him!

Liu Huo turned back while walking, muttering to himself: Is Shen Xi that important?Zong team is willing to give him an inspiration spell?

When the two returned to the car, Liu Huo finally couldn't help asking.

"Team Zong, why did you give Shen Xi an inspiration spell?"

Zongci started the car, set the destination, and let it drive automatically.

Zong Ci didn't answer directly, but turned his head to look at him, and said in a low voice, "The victim, Su Qiao, died at 11:30, and he was definitely an ordinary human being."

Liu Huo thought for a while, then took advantage of the situation and said, "If Shen Xi was telling the truth, then the woman he saw at twelve o'clock and three o'clock would not be Su Qiao."

Zong Ci nodded, and then added, "The victim lost his outer skin, but the strong perfume smell penetrated into the deep layer without disappearing. The person Shen Xi met had the same appearance, and even the scent of the perfume hadn't changed." .”

"Zong team, is the person Shen Xi saw the murderous monster?"

"Well, as long as Shen Xi doesn't lie."

The surveillance videos of the fast food restaurant and the pawn shop were there. Judging from Shen Xi's timeline, he was indeed not suspected, and there was no need to lie.

Zong Ci stated his own judgment, "Shen Xi said that there is a smell of corpse, it is very likely that the assailant's original body is rotten. So it has to be covered up with human skin. And..."

There was admiration in Liuhuo's eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask, "And what?"

"The function of the gloomy wood spirit pill is to prevent decay." Zong Ci opened his lips, his face was hidden in the darkness, looking cold and attractive, "Human skin will lose its freshness and even rot over time if it is separated from the body. .”

"Team Zong! I understand!" Liuhuo slapped his thigh fiercely, "The assailant monster took the victim's skin, but for some reason, she had to maintain her appearance and not let it rot, so she went to find Shen Xi bought the gloomy wood spirit pill?"

Zong Ci glanced at him, "Understood?"

"Yeah!" Liu Huo nodded repeatedly.

"But it's just an inference, and I can't be sure." Zong Ci was quiet, and then turned to Liu Huo and said, "You can help me check some things later..."

***

Shen Xi originally thought that he had made a fortune today and was very lucky.

Who knew that this money was simply a disaster.

Seeing Zongci and Liuhuo walking away, Shen Xi's expression turned pale, and he even gave up the idea of ​​eating barbecue.

"Forget it, wash up and go to sleep." Shen Xi closed the door and went back to the cubicle.

In the narrow space, there is only a row of wardrobes and a soft blanket.

Shen Xi transformed back into his original body in a flash, and lay down listlessly on the spot, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: The monster did the murder?I was interrogated by Zong Ci again, and all of them were truthfully recruited...

You won't be known by that monster, so come to find yourself to silence him?

Shen Xi trembled, and immediately circled his body into a ball.

His spiritual roots opened early, and he was able to transform into a human form since he was a child.However, it doesn't stop here.The methods that ordinary monsters use to increase their spiritual power are useless to him.

So even though he grows older, he is still a little demon with weak spiritual power.Even the main body is not considered big.

——I am afraid that I don't have much chance of winning against that monster?

——No, no, I have to wait until that monster is caught before I can feel at ease!

——Otherwise, there will be life-threatening anytime, anywhere.

Shen Xi thought about a lot of things indiscriminately, and couldn't even sleep soundly.At the end of the night, I only slept a full sleep.

"Why don't we go back to the monster enchantment to hide? At least there are tree spirit grandpas." Shen Xi rubbed his eyes, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and immediately denied his thoughts, "...No way! Zong Ci said yesterday that he may still ask me for questioning. It would be too irresponsible for me to just leave."

Shen Xi was struggling secretly, but the office phone in the store suddenly rang.

"Hello."

"Excuse me, is it the Xixihaha office?" It was a lady.

"Yes." Shen Xi thought that there was a business coming, so he immediately said politely.

"My boss wants to ask you to do something." The person at the other end continued.

boss?who is it?

Shen Xi was slightly startled, "...please tell me."

There was a lot of movement on the other end of the phone, as if they were handing over the phone.

Shen Xi silently waited for the other party's answer. Not long after, a deep male voice came.

"Come here, I need your assistance, and the reward will be paid on time."

With a familiar voice, Shen Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little surprised, "Team Zong?"

"It's me. The address will be sent to you later, if it's convenient, come here immediately."

"... Oh." Shen Xi responded naturally.Just about to ask a question, the phone has already been hung up.

A few seconds later, a text message came. When I opened it, it was the address.

—I need your help?

Zongci asked him for help?Could it be because of yesterday's case?

Shen Xi was thinking silently, and suddenly, a dazzling light burst out of his eyes, "It's just right! A monster with Zongci's status must have a strong spiritual power. If I can stay by his side for a while, then I will be safe." gone?"

No matter what he needs his own assistance, he must agree anyway!

In this way, he not only ensured his own safety, but also looked good at Zong Ci.

...even get paid.

Shen Xi thought about it, he couldn't suffer anyway.The melancholy in his heart dissipated without a trace, and now he just wants to wag his tail happily.

What is the saying in the world?all will be good.

Well, the words of human beings really make sense!

***

Shen Xi arrived at the fastest speed according to the address on the text message.

Um?Jindu Inspectorate?

Shen Xi, who got out of the car, looked at the magnificent building in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Shen Xi, this way." Liu Huo trotted towards him.

Shen Xi recognized him and walked towards him.

Liu Huo pointed to the gate of the Inspectorate Bureau, "Let's go, I'll take you in, Team Zong and Bureau Fu are waiting for you."

"Ah."

The two walked in tandem, and not long after, Shen Xi was brought into an office.

In addition to Zongci whom I saw yesterday, there was also a man in the uniform of a senior inspector. He was tall and had a sense of fortitude all over his body.

Fu Ju in the mouth of the fire?

Shen Xi thought to herself, but didn't rush to speak.

Fu Chenglin, who was sitting on the main seat, saw him and asked Zong Ci, "Is he the one you mentioned?"

"Yes." Zong Ci agreed.Then he looked at Shen Xi with the usual expression, "Find a seat and sit down, you have seen Liuhuo before. The person in front of you is Fu Linsheng Bureau, the highest leader of the Human Inspectorate Bureau."

Seeing that Zong Ci took the initiative to explain to himself, Shen Xi's eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly.

Fu Chenglin sized him up a few times before getting up, "Okay, this man, uh, I've seen this demon before. I'll report to my superiors, and you guys talk about business first."

"En." Zong Ci nodded.

Seeing that Fu Chenglin was gone, Shen Xi found a seat and sat down.He was not restrained when facing Zongci, and asked excitedly, "Zongtu, why did you come to me?"

Zong Ci didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "Help me solve the case."

"Solve the case?" Shen Xi's heart dimmed, "Is the woman I saw yesterday really a murderous monster?"

"Currently, it's the most likely." Zong Ci looked at Liu Huo and raised his eyebrows.

Liu Huo had already received Zong Ci's instructions, so he immediately interjected and explained to Shen Xi.

"A total of three cases of the same kind were discovered. When Team Zong took over yesterday, the third case happened to happen. The victims were all women, and the skin on the whole body was completely peeled off with an even thickness."

Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a chill.

The woman I saw yesterday was also a monster in human skin? !

"The murderous monster came to your store to buy the gloomy wood spirit pill. We speculate that it may be to keep the freshness of the human skin and prevent it from rotting. In other words, she may have the same appearance in the short term. Appear……"

Shen Xi listened carefully to Liu Huo's statement, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Zong Ci kept staring at Shen Xi, not letting go of the slightest change on his face.

Their current speculation is based on Shen Xi's statement yesterday.

Zong Ci asked Liu Huo to check carefully, and there was no major fluctuation in the three years since Shen Xi was born, and he didn't even have any blood relatives from the Yaozu.Moreover, according to several surveillance videos, his suspicion of committing the crime can basically be ruled out.

If Shen Xi hadn't lied, then he could be the object of assistance.

If Shen Xi really lied, he could also use this excuse to temporarily control him by his side to prevent him from escaping.

Of course, Zong Ci is more inclined to the former.

"Team Zong, I have a question." After listening to Liu Huo's statement, Shen Xi turned to look at Zong Ci.

"Say." Zong Ci shifted his gaze.

Shen Xi frowned, quite distressed, "I am happy to help you, but... what can I do?"

Shen Xi, who has zero experience in solving crimes, really can't think of his own role.

"This monster knows how to avoid the camera. It has never appeared on the camera in three cases. Therefore, even if we know her appearance, we can't track her down. But you are different..." Zong Ci looked at him, With a calm and serious expression, "You are the only one who has had actual contact with her and smelled her scent. We need you to identify it when necessary."

Human or demon, human and human, demon and demon, there is always a difference in body odor.

Ordinary humans may not be able to tell the difference, but a monster with Shen Xi's attribute is different.

Hearing these words, Shen Xi nodded thoughtfully.

His duty to assist is to understand, but why does it always feel weird?

Identify smells?

and many more!

Shen Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zong Ci in disbelief.

"Am I being treated as a police dog?"
