Chapter 34: A Family of Three 8
As soon as Yue Miao went upstairs, she saw the ghoul boy and his ghoul father, who seemed to be waiting for them.
"Hello, what's the matter?" Yue Miao greeted with a smile.
"Hello uncle" Han Yu watched Yue Miao greet the ghoul boy and them, and also said hello obediently, looking at the ghoul boy, but he didn't know what to change his name, so he simply stopped calling.
"That guy resembles my brother," the ghoul father nodded
"Your brother?" Yue Miao felt incredible and said in surprise.
"I'm not sure if he's my brother, his personality is completely different from my brother's, he looks a lot like my brother," the ghoul father said, shaking his head.
"So you followed him because he looked like your brother?" Yue Miao asked.
"Not exactly, since he's been here, whenever he wants to kill, we can't help but be behind him, watching him kill," the ghoul father shook his head and said.
"He killed a lot of people when he came here?" Yue Miao asked with a chill.
"On average, we kill one or two people a week," the ghoul father said helplessly.
He tried to stop the invisible man, but he couldn't see himself, and they couldn't touch him.
"How long has he been here?" Yue Miao looked at the ghoul father anxiously and asked.
"It's been about a month," the ghoul father estimated.
"It's been so long, isn't there a lot of people who have been killed?" The moon was shocked.
She calculated, according to a week and two days, the stealth man had already killed ten people, but why didn't it report?
Yue Miao looked up at the ghoul father and asked, "Have those people been found after they died?" β
The father of the ghoul shook his head regretfully and said, "His methods are very secretive, and the place where the corpse is hidden is also very strange, and ordinary people can't find it at all."
Yue Miao frowned, feeling very strange, "But, there doesn't seem to be any missing people recently?" β
"Yes, but a few people found out that their family members were missing, and they were vigorously searching, and some people searched for two days but did not find them and had to call the police, and there is no news until now," said the father ghoul.
"So the police haven't found their bodies yet? Can you take me to the bodies that have been hidden? Yue Miao thought about it and felt that there was a reason why the invisible man killed people, and as for what the reason was, only the investigation would know.
Yue Miao remembered that she had left the phone number of the store owner, and directly called the store owner's mobile phone.
"Hello? Who is it? The shopkeeper was sleeping well when he heard his mobile phone ringing, squinting his eyes and picking up the phone to answer.
"It's me, I'm Yue Miao, there's something I want you to help me investigate" Yue Miao listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, guessing that she might have disturbed him, a little embarrassed.
"What do you need me to investigate?" When the shopkeeper heard Yue Miao's words, he was all right at once, and hurriedly asked.
"Help me investigate the missing persons in the last month, I want to know the details," Yue Miao thought about and said.
Yue Miao remembered that the bodies of these dead people had not yet been found, and now they were considered missing persons, and the identity of the deceased had to be confirmed before the bodies could be determined.
"Missing persons? What are you investigating this? The shopkeeper asked strangely.
"I heard from the ghoul family that the invisible people have killed a lot of people in the past month, and I will check to see how many people are on the missing list" Yue Miao thought that the shopkeeper should also know, so she had to answer truthfully.
"This is not easy to do, the files of missing persons are generally in the police station, fortunately, I have a friend who works where, I can help you to ask" The owner of the store also wanted to contribute, and this time it happened to be delivered, and he was naturally unwilling to give up.
After talking to Yue Miao, he called his good buddy.
"Hello? Mouse, why did you remember to find your brother? As soon as the phone was connected, there was a hearty laugh from there.
"I'm not looking for you yet," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"I knew you had something to do with me, say, what do you want me to do?" The person on the other end of the phone understood and said with a smile.
"You still know me, don't worry, what I want you to help me with is very easy for you," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Don't sell it, hurry up, I'll go out to handle the case later" Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't said anything about what he wanted to do for a long time, he began to get impatient and asked.
"Okay, okay, I know you're busy, I'll make a long story short, you help me check how many missing people there are in the last month, and by the way, give me the details of the missing people" The shopkeeper knew that his friend was busy, and said straightly.
"Why do you want this, these are all confidential, and it is impossible for you to show them"
"I'm here to help you, what if these missing people die early?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"What do you know?" The person on the other end of the line asked, squinting.
Recently, he has been troubled by the disappearance, and this is the twelfth disappearance case in the past month, and if there are a few more, I think it will make the whole Pumpkin Town panic.
"I know who the murderer is, but none of you can see the murderer, do you want to cooperate with us," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"We? Do you still have a partnership? β
When the shopkeeper heard his friend's words, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't want to find anything wrong, so he had to smile and say, "Yes, a cultivator who can help you find the missing person and the murderer."
"Cultivator? What's there to say about this, aren't we all cultivators? The man asked with an eyebrow and a smile.
"That's different, she's a lot better than us," the shopkeeper said, shaking his head.
"Really?" When the man heard this, he became curious and asked.
"Of course it's true, I can't lie to you?" The shopkeeper was excited, afraid that his friend would not believe him.
"Okay, okay, as long as we can find the missing person, no matter what the conditions are, we will agree" The man was almost desperate, and hearing the shopkeeper say that someone could solve the case made him feel hopeful.
"So easy to talk to?" The shopkeeper listened to his friend's words, was a little surprised, and asked with a smile.
"Heh, you run a shop alone, naturally I don't know how tired you are from being a policeman, the file will be sent to you later, I want you to take me to the scene of the crime tomorrow" The man sneered and said, his tone was a little tired.
"Thank you," the shopkeeper thanked with a smile.
"If this case is settled, I'll give you a bonus as a thank you," the man said on the other end of the phone.
"Bonus? How many? When the shopkeeper heard that there was a bonus, his eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
"Guess," the man said, quickly hanging up.
"......" The owner of the store looked at his phone helplessly and scolded him for having no conscience.
The shopkeeper didn't expect his friend to hang up so quickly, lying lazily on the bed, thinking about whether to talk to Yue Miao now, or tomorrow.
The shopkeeper was thinking about it over and over again, while his friends searched for the missing people in the middle of the night.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
"Report, no"
"Damn, who is so high-level, is it a cultivator?" The man guessed.
"Report to the sir, the file has been delivered" The one who came to report was also a cultivator.
When he saw that the captain sent the backup copy of the missing person file to the shopkeeper, he knew that he might not be able to complete it until death without the help of others.
"Well, I'll go again tomorrow and bring that kid and his friend to me," said the man who was called captain, looking up at the cultivator who was delivering the file.
"Yes"
In the middle of the night, Yue Miao saw her phone flashing, opened it and saw that it was a message from the store owner, saying that he was cooperating with the police and asked them to help solve the case, and someone would go to his place to pick them up tomorrow.
Yue Miao looked at Han Yu beside her, thinking that she was going to class tomorrow, and planned to send Han Yu to class first, anyway, the distance was not far, and these policemen should still be sleeping.
Early the next morning, after Yue Miao sent Han Yu to school, she came to the shopkeeper's shop, looking at the clothes in the bag, and she was particularly narcissistic and broke her hair.
"You're coming a little slowly, the officers are waiting," the shopkeeper said with a smile when he saw that Yue Miao was coming.
"Really?" Yue Miao didn't expect the police officer to come so early, so she began to get nervous and hurriedly walked in.
As soon as she entered, she saw a man in a police uniform eating breakfast and nodded at her.
"Hello," Yue Miao greeted awkwardly.
"Hello, I just heard from the shopkeeper, can you really help us?" It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that a group of big men haven't found it, let alone a weak woman.
"Of course, but you have to help me too, otherwise I probably won't be able to help," Yue Miao said with a smile.
"It's quite shrewd, don't worry, we have already sent the file you want, you can ask the shopkeeper for it, anyway, we have already delivered it to her" The man didn't expect Yue Miao, a woman who looked weak and naΓ―ve, to say this, and after laughing a few times, he planned to take Yue Miao to the police station.
Coming to the police station, Yue Miao looked at the layout of the police station, and couldn't help but exclaim, it was so good-looking, the whole house exuded a golden light, very soft, and there was no lethality at all.
"It's nice here," Yue Miao said with a smile.
"Good-looking? I think it's okay" The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time and didn't see where the good-looking looks were in Yuemiao's mouth, in his opinion, this is a very ordinary police station.
"Thank you for the compliment" At this time, the shopkeeper's friend walked out, happened to hear Yuemiao's praise, and said with a smile.
"This is my sincere words, the police station shrouded in merit seems to be the first time I have seen it" Yue Miao shook her head, looked at the police station that was still shining with golden light, and said with a smile.
"Can you see these merits with your naked eyes?" The shopkeeper's friend was surprised and asked.
"What's wrong? Don't you see? Yue Miao asked strangely, didn't the little fox also see the merits of others with the naked eye?
"We haven't reached home yet, so naturally we can't see it, I only know that this police station is like a hall of merit, and I don't know anything else," said the shopkeeper's friend with a bitter smile, and seeing the merits of the police station was the thing he longed for the most in his life.
"I think you'll see that you've accumulated a lot of merit in you," Yue Miao said with a smile.
"Really? Lend you good words"
The shopkeeper saw the two of them talking, ignored himself directly, and said impatiently: "Didn't you say that the case was solved?" Why are you still chatting here? β
"Let's go, have you read yesterday's file?" The shopkeeper's friend glanced at his friend with disgust, and the landlord asked.
"No, I'll give it to the moon," the shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"I said Zhao Mingqing, when will you be reliable? You tell me when you gave it to her? The shopkeeper's friend asked.
He knows his friends very well, and he has always been grinding and chirping about the things he gave him, or he just threw his hands on others to do it, which is always so unreliable.
"This morning," Yue Miao said with a smile.
"This morning?" The shopkeeper's friend's face darkened, and he wanted to strangle the shopkeeper to death, and seeing that the weasel who often followed the shopkeeper was not there, he asked strangely, "Hey, where is your Ah Huang?" β
"At home, why are you asking this?" The shopkeeper asked strangely.
"This is what I should ask you, what's wrong with your Ah Huang?"
"I'm hurt, I've been injured by the murderer," the shopkeeper said with a reluctant look at his friend.
"Murderer? Did you see the murderer? The shopkeeper's friend frowned and asked.
"No, the murderer is so weird that we can't see him at all, but we have helpers," the shopkeeper said mysteriously.
"What helper?" The shopkeeper's friend (later called Liao Bing) asked.
"It's the ghouls who live across from me, and only they can see the murderer, and what's even stranger is that the murderer can't see them," Yue Miao said with a smile as she saw the shopkeeper begging for help as if she were herself.
"Ghouls? That thing is going to hurt people," Liao Bing frowned, he didn't believe that the ghouls would help them.
"I can guarantee this, they are sensible and will not harm others" Yue Miao looked at Liao Bing like this, thinking if he had any misunderstanding about ghouls, and hurriedly explained.
"Okay, I'll pack up my things and go to your house with you in a while, I want to see what the ghouls can help us" Liao Bing looked at Yue Miao and the shopkeeper, feeling that what they said was true, and decided to believe it once.
"Thank you!" Yue Miao said gratefully, thinking that as long as this case is solved, then it will not be far from finding the real murderer of the ghoul family.
