Yokai Office

odor?very familiar?

What does this mean?

Hearing this, Shen Xi immediately frowned.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Zong Ci on the side had already spoken.

"Fu Dou, speak clearly."

Fu Dou glanced at them without panicking.Instead, he moved closer to Xu Ye, raised his nose, and continued to sniff.

Not long after, Fu Dou affirmed, "It's you!"

Xu Ye swallowed, and moved his gaze towards Zong Ci, as if pleading, "...Zong team."

"Why did you call him?" Fu Dou suddenly felt annoyed when he remembered what happened before.He grabbed Xu Ye's collar with one hand, "Please tell me clearly! Why did you approach me on purpose! You want to trick me into Jindu!"

Now that things have come to this, who can not understand the meaning of Fudou.

The Taoist friend that Fu Dou originally talked about is the Xu Ye in front of him?

Shen Xi and Liu Huo looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

During this period of time, the frequency of monsters committing crimes in Jindu became more and more frequent.And Xu Ye, as Fu Shenglin's subordinate, often obeyed Fu Shenglin's orders and assisted Shen Xi and Liuhuo in private.

So the two of them were very familiar with Xu Ye.

"Brother Huo, did you make a mistake?" Shen Xi asked, "Xu Ye is just an ordinary person."

"That's right, we basically meet every day." Liu Huo also interjected.

Zong Ci stood on the side, silent.

His gaze was firmly fixed on Xu Ye, implying a scrutiny.

"Team Zong, what are you talking about?" Xu Ye said nervously, "I don't even know this person, and I've been working overtime in the bureau all this time..."

He shook the file in his hand, "I just met with Fu Ju, and he asked me to take this file back to the file room."

"Ordinary people?" Fu Dou asked back, seemingly in disbelief.

Shen Xi leaned forward and sniffed calmly.Only then did he get close to Zong Ci, and said softly, "It's normal."

The two had a lot of contact in normal times, so Shen Xi was also very familiar with Xu Ye's smell.

And Xu Ye is indeed an ordinary person.

Zong Ci glanced at Fu Dou, and ordered softly, "Let him go first."

Huo Dou let him go with a snort, and said calmly, "Forget it, I know you don't believe me."

As soon as the voice fell, Liuhuo's cell phone rang.

"Hi, Ju Fu."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

After Liu Huo said a few words, he hung up the phone hastily.

"Team Zong, Bureau Fu is ready and is urging us."

Zong Ci nodded, "Yes, I see."

"Let's take the trouble to fight first." Zong Ci said calmly, then shifted his gaze to Xu Ye, and said calmly, "It's none of your business, let's leave first."

Futo's character doesn't look like he can say 'nonsense'.

Now that he said it, no matter whether Xu Ye was wronged or not, he should not be taken lightly!

But at this moment, it is definitely not a good time for a confrontation.After all, this is the Superintendent's Bureau. If there is a disturbance and something goes wrong, it will be wrong.

Xu Ye could also see that he got into trouble for no reason.After hearing Zong Ci's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, that Zong team, I'll go first."

"Ah."

Zong Ci didn't say any more, and after Xu Ye withdrew and left, they walked a few steps forward.

When he reached the corner, he stopped and said, "Liu Huo, follow him."

Liu Huo froze for a moment, then understood.

Shen Xi looked at Zong Ci and said worriedly, "Let Liu Huo go alone..."

"You don't need to get too close, and you don't need to have contact with him." Zong Ci calmly explained, "You just need to keep track of his whereabouts."

Zongci thought for a while, and added, "Tell this to the Monster Bureau, and ask Uncle Fang to teleport over to help."

After all, Liuhuo is a little demon, and the matter is important, so it's better to be safe.

"Yeah!" Liu Huo turned around and left without delay.

***

The so-called interrogation is nothing more than making Fu Dou admit his guilt according to the established procedure.

After all, it was a monster who committed the crime, and the Inspectorate could not tell the public the truth.

However, since the arsonist has been arrested, at least there can be an explanation to calm the hearts of the people.

Zong Ci and Fu Shenglin stood side by side, staring at the fight in the interrogation room, so as not to cause any accidents.

Time passed slowly.

Zong Ci glanced at the time, then remembered Xu Ye's situation, and turned to look at Fu Chenglin.

He didn't directly talk about the episode just now, but asked, "Has Xu Ye stayed in the bureau all this time?"

"Well, he's been staying at the bureau all this time." Fu Sheng responded, and then said, "Recently there are a lot of ordinary cases, but Xu Ye is very busy."

For this hard-working subordinate, Fu Shenglin still valued it very much.

"Why did you ask him on purpose?" Fu Chenglin became more and more puzzled.

Zong Ci paused, his eyes darkened, "Old Fu, have you ever thought about it?"

"Thinking about what?"

"The case that happened this year has been a bureau from the very beginning."

Fu Chenglin frowned and remained silent.

Zong Ci added, "From the human skin case, to the jumping off a building, the snow case, and even the fire cases during this period...too frequent."

"And the Monster Bureau interrogated these perpetrators, and they all admitted that they had contact with a man in black."

Fu Shenglin thought about it, nodded, "You mean, the mastermind behind these cases is the same person?"

"Ah."

"And don't you think it's strange?" Zong Ci looked at him, "The secrecy work in the bureau has always been safe, but since the human skin case, the news has been leaked out. Moreover, these cases always easily arouse the attention of the public. panic."

Every case will always be presented to the public in a special way.

Panic, always wave after wave.

"The news was leaked..." Fu Chenglin vaguely understood the meaning of Zong Ci, "You mean, there are ghosts in the bureau?!"

Every time, the news about the case on the Internet is always extremely accurate.

Especially the first personal skin case, which was clearly publicized on the Internet overnight, even though the bureau had taken measures to keep it secret.

It's not that Fu Shenglin didn't think about this possibility.

But because monsters committed the crimes, there are very few people who know about these cases.

Zongci and the others are members of the Monster Bureau, so they won't make trouble for no reason.And as the director of the Inspectorate, he will not take the initiative to disclose it to the outside world.

"Fu Dou admitted that he came to Jindu because he believed a fellow Taoist. And just now, he pointed at Xu Ye and said that his smell is very familiar."

"Zong Ci, you are suspicious..." Fu Chenglin suddenly understood, and looked at Zong Ci incredulously, "Do you suspect that Xu Ye is an inner ghost?!"

"Of course you can't believe everything Fudou says," Zong Ci said.He looked sideways at Fu Chenglin, and said in a low voice, "But you must be on guard against others."

Fu Shenglin frowned, unable to believe it, "But Xu Ye has been by my side for so many years, I can be 100% sure that he is an ordinary person!"

Fu Shenglin knew a lot about these few cases that happened.The formation spells in many cases don't look like something that ordinary people know.

"What if he was replaced long ago?" Zong Ci asked.

"Replacement?!"

Zong Ci turned around, concentrating slightly.

He took a step forward, put his hand on the railing in front of him, tapped his fingertips, and made a thin sound.

After a while, Fu Chenglin heard the other party say, "Just wait, the truth will come out sooner or later."

***

The interrogation of Fudou lasted for nearly an hour before it was considered over.

Because they were concerned about Xu Ye's matter, Zong Ci and Shen Xi didn't stay any longer, and headed directly towards the Monster Bureau with Fu Dou.

Fu Dou had already recognized the situation and did not intend to struggle.After getting in the car, simply close your eyes and rest.

"Zong Ci." Shen Xi who was sitting in the front row asked softly, "Do you doubt Xu Ye?"

"Doubt." Zong Ci looked at him and spoke bluntly.

While waiting at the Inspectorate just now, Shen Xi had already thought through all the possibilities.

Getting this answer was within his expectation.

"Why didn't you let me follow Xu Ye just now?" Shen Xi hesitated for a while, but still asked about it.

Logically speaking, Shen Xi is more suitable than Liu Huo when it comes to stalking.

Zong Ci was slightly stunned, and then said, "Xixi, don't think too much."

Shen Xi didn't say a word, with a complicated expression on his face.

"I'm very concerned about the safety of you and Liuhuo. Of course, Liuhuo is only my subordinate." Zong Ci said, "But this time, I didn't let him risk his life to favor you."

"I, I didn't mean that either..." Shen Xi muttered.

He thought the same way at first, feeling happy and uneasy at the same time.

Happily, Zong Ci regards his safety as the most important thing and does not want him to do dangerous things.

But I'm uneasy, Liu Huo is just a little demon, if something happens because of this...

"You are in the Inspectorate Bureau, and you have come into contact with Xu Ye a lot. If he is really tricky, have you never thought that he may have secretly harmed you on the night of the full moon?"

Shen Xi missed this matter, and now Zong Ci said it, but he stopped asking.

However, he vaguely understood the meaning of Zong Ci.

In fact, Zongci considered far more than them.

"Don't worry, Liuhuo is very clever, besides, Uncle Fang is here." Zong Ci said, "I told Lao Fu that I will find a way to keep him in the Inspectorate."

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case, that's good."

Liu Huo often ran to the Inspectorate every three days, and it was limited to this range, so it was not easy to become suspicious.

***

The two brought Fu Dou back to the Monster Bureau and ordered someone to imprison him.

Immediately, he went to explain the situation to Fenghuang and others.

"Xiaoci, are you sure?"

"I've asked Uncle Fang and Liu Huo to keep an eye on him." Zong Ci said bluntly, "I just contacted him not long ago, and the target person is still in the Supervision Bureau."

"If Xu Ye is really an evil thing that has been hidden for a long time..." Fenghuang thought about it and said, "Then when Huo Dou pointed him out on the spot today, he must have been on his guard."

"Yes, so there is no excuse to take him out of the Inspectorate, so as not to scare the snake." Zong Ci said, "I have informed the Director of the Inspectorate, and I will find a way to keep him."

Chongming answered, "Xiao Ci, what do you mean we'll go to the Inspectorate later?"

Xu Ye, the suspected target, stayed in the Inspectorate.And what they have to do is to find out his identity.If it is really an evil spirit, let's work together to get rid of it!

"En." Zong Ci replied.

Although they didn't say everything, everyone obviously understood what to do next.

"Zong Ci." Shen Xi walked forward with her mobile phone in hand, "Liu Huo just sent me a message. Director Fu has already found a reason to keep Xu Ye here. In half an hour, the Inspectorate will be off work. "

As for the people on duty at night, there are not many.

"Uncle Ming, take a group of members of the Monster Bureau and guard around the Supervision Bureau, just in case." Zong Ci said after thinking for a while.

"No problem." Chongming replied simply.

Fenghuang glanced at the time and said, "Okay, get ready, let's go!"

The matter is of great importance, Fenghuang, as the director of the Monster Bureau, can't sit still this time!

***

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, which is the rush hour for get off work.

Zongci and others were scattered in several cars, standing still.

It was slowly getting dark.

Inside the carriage, the screen of the mobile phone suddenly lit up.Shen Xi saw that it was a text message from Liu Huo.

——Xu Ye is still in the game, I'll wait for you at the door.

Shen Xi handed Zong Ci the phone for a look, and then sent it to Fenghuang and the others.

"Get out of the car." Zong Ci said.

"Ah."

The two got out of the car, and not far away, Fenghuang, An Yin and Ruyi also got out of the car.

As for Chongming, he led people to make arrangements around the Inspectorate.

Everyone walked to the door together.

Seeing this battle, Liu Huo's face changed, "Zong team, this is..."

"Just in case." Shen Xi approached him and explained softly.

Hearing the words, Liu Huo glanced at Shen Xi, nodded, and immediately recovered his seriousness.

"follow me!"

Several people walked in with some distance between them.As for Zong Ci and Shen Xi, they walked side by side as usual.

Zong Ci glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and suddenly found... Shen Xi's expression seemed a little weird.

"Sixi?"

"Huh?" Shen Xi looked up at him.

Zong Ci looked at him carefully, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You're not feeling well?"

Before Shen Xi could answer, Liu Huo in front turned around and asked, "Is Xixi feeling unwell?"

"No." Shen Xi quickly shook his head and explained, "I'm just a little nervous."

After finishing speaking, sticking to Zong Ci again, he tugged at his sleeve, "I'll hide behind you when the time comes, so as not to cause trouble for you."

Zong Ci's eyes changed slightly.

Within two seconds, Shen Xi's words suddenly came from his mind.

[Zong Ci, I think it's a little strange, don't look at me yet. 】

Zong Ci frowned, and in just a moment, he returned to his original state.

He reached out and patted Shen Xi's head, and replied softly, "Well, I will protect you."

After finishing speaking, he led Shen Xi forward.

【Xixi, what's wrong? 】

Soon, Shen Xi's reply came.

Both of them kept a calm face, talking through telepathy, making it impossible for people to see any clues.

A few minutes later, Liuhuo brought them to the office hall.

The doors and windows of the office were tightly closed, and a few rays of light escaped from the gaps.

Liu Huo was about to open the door, when Shen Xi shouted, "Liu Huo!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Where's Deputy Director Fang? When he comes, let's go in together." Shen Xi whispered, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Zong Ci.

Zong Ci remained silent, without any objection.

Liuhuo reacted, and then said, "Deputy Director Fang, he just..."

Bi Fang?Deputy Director Fang?Ah!

Before he finished speaking, Zong Ci instantly used his spiritual power to form a blue long sword, which was pressed against his neck.

At the same time, Shen Xi asked very seriously, "Who are you!"
