CHAPTER XXIII
I heard that this case needs to go to thirteen cities for on-site investigation.
The day before, Xia Yitong happily went to the supermarket to buy things, after all, she has always lived alone, and the farthest distance is to run to the city next door, so the business trip is both fresh and interesting for her.
I want a set of simple toiletries, some dry food bread, a little snack melon seeds, and a limited strawberry cake from G supermarket.
Xia Yitong pushed the shopping cart and lined up at the end of the line, looking at the strawberry cake in the freezer not far away, she silently counted the number of people in front of her in her heart, "One, two, three, four, five." ”
It's good, she's just last in line.
She followed the forward team step by step, and finally got to her, the person in front of her took the cake and turned a corner, just colliding with her shopping cart, Xia Yitong took two steps back, let go of some distance, and when she looked up again, she saw a phantom flashing, and the cake that was still close in front of her just now had disappeared.
She looked around curiously, and saw a small person wrapped in a thick gray cloak, dense and unable to see his hands and feet, carrying the box of cakes and hurriedly going to the self-checkout counter to settle the bill.
Xia Yitong pursed her lips and grabbed a cake like a thief.
Just thinking about it, a woman's scream suddenly came from the direction of the self-service cash register, and then the floor under the cash register suddenly caved out a hole of about one meter, and the young woman who had just walked above the cash register fell in, she grabbed the edge of the hole with both hands, and kept calling for help.
A gray translucent object, wafting out of the hole like smoke, slowly climbed up the back of the young woman's hand, wrapping around it......
Xia Yitong's heart was shocked, realizing that the thing might be a monster, she dropped the shopping cart and ran over quickly, grabbed the woman's arm, the immortal bell on her feet made a slight ring, and the shadow that was wrapped around the woman's body disappeared in an instant, the woman snorted in pain, and her body couldn't help shaking.
The dark bottom of the cave suddenly saw a light, revealing the appearance of an underground parking lot.
The surrounding crowd gathered and hurriedly dragged them up.
The supermarket staff ran over and apologized again and again, and the woman withdrew Xia Yitong's hand, nodded and thanked her, and then went to the manager's room with the staff to rest.
Xia Yitong exhaled softly, and suddenly she thought of something, flipped the pendant around her neck, looked in the direction of the woman's departure, and then she walked to the corner and pulled out the microphone from her ear.
Five minutes later, Nangong Yang appeared in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm too late. He wiped the sweat from his short hair with the back of his hand, still wearing a trendy brand, youthful and energetic, but his voice sounded an inexplicable sense of integrity.
Xia Yitong noticed a red mole the size of a mung bean on the inside of his wrist, which was very bright, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was a drop of blood.
She smiled at him, "It's okay, they haven't come out yet, I thought this should be your jurisdiction, so I called you." ”
Nangong Yang nodded at her.
After about half an hour, the woman walked out of the gate with a large bag of things sent by the supermarket, Nangong Yang took a few steps forward to block in front of her, and then took out the triangular pendant around her neck.
"That woman has seven percent demon blood, do you say this matter will be ...... with those thirteen" Xia Yitong's voice gradually disappeared with the smiling face of Tao Ziyi on the other side, and awkwardly picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, and timidly glanced at the white punishment opposite.
Bai Xing snorted lightly, and said without raising his head: "The demon hunting system in this city is shared, as long as it is a case that has been uploaded, all demon hunting can be seen, and if you don't say it, Tao Zishan will tell him, so it doesn't matter." ”
Tao Ziyi looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and sandwiched a piece of beef into Xia Yi's bowl, "Eat it quickly, this is delicious, I made it." ”
"Did you do it?" Bai Xing still said in a bad tone.
Now Tao Ziyi was not happy, and said angrily: "This table is the takeaway I specially ordered for Hitomi, to repay her for inviting me to dinner these days, but Captain Bai, you, eat Hitomi's meal, don't trouble me." ”
Bai Xing snorted coldly again, took out an envelope from behind him, slapped it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xia Yitong: "My room fee and living expenses." ”
When Xia Yitong heard that it was money, he hurriedly took it happily and said, "White Demon Division, you eat more, I'll make you whatever you want to eat tomorrow." ”
Peach pouted and finished selling cuteness, and put on the smiling face that was not worth her life, "Hitomi this is for you to eat, this is beautiful and beautiful." ”
Bai Xing sneered in his heart, although he didn't know what the hell Momoko Yi had to do, it must not be a good idea. But he couldn't explain it clearly to Xia Yitong because of that curse, so he could only tell her not to tell him too much about himself, but this Xia Yitong was a friend fan.
"So will these two things be related?" Xia Yitong asked again.
Bai Xing put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Absolutely not." ”
"Why?" said Tao Ziyi and Xia Yitong almost at the same time.
"Because if you want to keep kidnapping some people, will you choose a densely populated supermarket to commit the crime?"
She shook her head, "No, I'll go after those lonely half-demons in the dead of night." ”
"That's right. ”
"But there aren't many half-demons with about 5% demon blood, maybe they can't find it, and they happen to meet one in the supermarket and start by the way?"
"Then I'll follow her and wait until she's out where no one is around. Xia Yitong replied to Tao Ziyi.
Bai Xing watched Tao Ziyi pretend to be stupid and innocent in front of Xia Yitong, and he was really disgusted, so he got up and said: "Anyway, it shouldn't have anything to do with it, since there are no casualties in this case and it appears in Area E, then let Nangong Yang handle it himself, as for you-" She looked at Xia Yitong, glanced at Tao Ziyi again, and said, "Come on a business trip with me tomorrow." ”
Xia Yitong originally thought that the business trip mentioned by Bai Xing meant taking the train with his bags on his back, running around to visit the masses like in the movie, and then spending a month collecting clues, and finally one day, after connecting the limited clues together, he found the criminal's nest in a flash of inspiration.
But in fact, they only left the Jubao community for two kilometers and came to their residence in Fengshan.
Xia Yitong carried a huge travel bag on her back, watched Bai Xing reach out and find the entrance to the enchantment, and led her to the impressive gate.
The two frogs were sleeping crookedly in front of the door holding the wine gourd, when they heard the noise, and one of them woke up, picked up a javelin the thickness of chopsticks and aimed it at the two of them.
Bai Xing bowed his head slightly and said: "I am the Demon Division of this city, and I want to borrow something from the Demon King of Mo Yu." ”
"I don't borrow. The slightly fatter frog shouted, "You have framed our master, and you have returned it to our master, and you still want to borrow something?"
"Oh?" said Bai Xing in surprise, "who is so bold, I will punish him severely when I go back." ”
Xia Yi's pupils trembled and raised a hand behind him and said, "It's me......"
The two frogs were shocked when they heard Xia Yitong's voice, and they raised their faces to look at her together, and after looking at each other for a second, they rushed into the gate with a quack, and closed the door by the way.
Bai Xing slowly turned his head and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yitong blinked innocently, "I almost got cooked last time." ”
After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Bai Xing really wanted to give her a thumbs up.
The last time she stabbed a man's face sore, he saw the fierceness of the man in her, and this time he saw the man's impulsiveness again.
But Feng Shan is notoriously irritable, and if he provokes him, there is nothing he can do unless he can make him happy again.
"If we use teleportation, I can barely travel through three cities a day with my demonic powers, and we will enter a period of reprie, and it will be very dangerous if we happen to encounter criminals. And judging from your current use of the Immortal Bell, you shouldn't even be able to get out of Kaifeng City. Therefore, if we want to go to these thirteen crime locations as soon as possible to check them out, we must borrow Fengshan's space mirror. Bai Xing said solemnly.
"What's that?"
With a flick of his fingers, a stack of photos appeared on his fingertips, which were sent to him by the demon divisions of the twelve cities except Kaifeng, "As long as the space mirror projects the pattern on the photo, it can take us to the location on the photo." ”
"It's amazing. Xia Yitong leaned over, "Domon." ”
Bai Xing glared at her and said, "It's useless to dream now, you are brave enough to dare to single out Fengshan, if you really die accidentally, I-" He paused.
Xia Yitong looked at him expectantly.
Bai Xing paused for two seconds and then said, "Who will cook for me in the future!"
She rolled her eyes, "I thought you were going to have to collect the body for me." ”
Bai Xing said, "It's not much better to say that I will collect the body for you." ”
"You don't understand that. Xia Yitong said with a smile: "For a person like me who has no parents and killed my adoptive parents, it is a great happiness to have someone collect the body for me." ”
She has been learning from Tao Ziyi recently, Bai Xing thought to himself, but seeing her smile so happily, he actually felt a little sad.
He turned around, left Xia Yitong with a back and said, "Anyway, you have also seen Fengshan, give you three days to borrow the space mirror, otherwise you don't want to mention the success of the next case." With that, he strode out.
"Ah, Captain Bai, no, the White Demon Division, why don't you give me an idea before leaving. ”
"There's no more next. ”
Xia Yitong hurriedly shut up.
The red wooden door in front of him flashed open a crack, revealing half of a frog's face.
Xia Yitong squatted down with a smile and asked, "Your master, what do you like?" ”
The little frog immediately slammed the door shut.
Let her find a way to curry favor with the suspect who killed Hao Yile, Xia Yitong felt a hundred unhappy in her heart.
But investigating the case is also one of the ways to find Zuo Yuming and avenge Hao Yile, so he can only endure the humiliation.
After a series of profound psychological enlightenment to herself, she took out the disposable sheets she bought in her backpack, laid them out in front of Fengshan Gate, and decided to camp in front of his house.
