Chapter Thirty-Eight: An Unexpected Encounter with a Werewolf
Lin Xue worked in this store for five days, and also silently observed for five days.
However, she has yet to find any trace of the hooded man.
As for that beautiful short, she has been in contact with it many times recently, checked it with her own hands, fed it with her own hands, and even secretly picked up a piece of its feces and went back to test the ingredients.
It turned out that there was nothing abnormal, and all the signs indicated that this was a very normal beautiful short cat, at least in the identity of the cat, there was nothing wrong with it.
The only thing that's weird is that the cat is smart, very smart! When Lin Xue fed it a few times, she even felt that this was not a cat, but a child with intelligence......
Xiao Ya turned her head and glanced at Lin Xue strangely, and said seriously: "Sister Xue, first of all, I want to correct you, he is also your boss!" Secondly...... The boss has been a little strange lately......" Xiaoya said, frowning herself.
"Oh? What's weird exactly? Lin Xue asked.
"I can't say it either, but I always feel that the boss's recent actions are a little unnatural, and he has become chattering......" Xiao Ya frowned and thought seriously.
She and Mu You have worked together for more than two years and are very familiar with each other. There were some extremely subtle changes in Mu You's body, which he might not even feel himself, but she could immediately detect it.
"God babble...... So what exactly has changed that has led you to this idea? Lin Xue insisted on asking.
"A lot!" Xiao Ya blurted out, and after finishing speaking, she thought for a while, and then said mysteriously: "For example, once, I saw the boss reading a book at the front desk very seriously, and he didn't hear me when I called him, so I got close to it and took a look, and it turned out that the book the boss was holding was actually a book of "Harry Potter Magic Spells"!" ”
"Magic ......"
Lin Xue's face was strange, this answer was something she never expected.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, the boss doesn't know when he'll come back, let's get off work first." Xiao Ya exhaled and stretched her arms to stretch her muscles.
"Okay."
Then the two simply cleaned up and went out together.
Xiaoya locked the door, pulled down the roller shutter door with a hook bar, clapped her hands, and looked back to see that Lin Xue was still standing on the side of the road not far away.
"By the way, Sister Xue, I don't know where your family lives?" This is the first time the two have gotten off work together in a few days, Xiaoya walked up to Lin Xue and asked.
"My home is in Shibei District."
"Oh...... Yes? City North? ”
Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Xue in surprise: "It's very far, it takes more than two hours to take the subway...... Are you going to take a taxi back? ”
"No, someone is coming to pick me up." Lin Xue shook her head.
"Oh, that's good......" Xiao Ya nodded again and again, her eyes rolling, and she wanted to gossip about who would pick it up, whether it was a boyfriend or something.
At this moment, a car coming from the side stopped exactly on the side of the road in front of the two.
A short-haired woman in a deacon uniform got out of the driver's seat and opened the door to the back seat: "Miss! ”
"See you tomorrow!"
Lin Xue smiled and said hello to Xiaoya, and sat in the back seat of the car.
The car quickly started and drove away.
"Ming...... See you tomorrow......"
Xiao Ya stood in place like a petrified person, waving her hands sluggishly.
It wasn't until the car went far away that she reacted, hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and checked the familiar and unfamiliar car logo she had just seen.
The reason why she is familiar is because she has seen this car in a popular urban drama she has been chasing recently, and the logo of this product placement has given many shots, which has impressed her quite deeply.
And the strangeness is because she has never seen this car logo in reality.
At this time, I checked it, and sure enough......
"Maserati Butterfly, the same sports car as the heroine of "Moonlight Life and Death Love", priced at ...... 10,990,000 ......"
Xiao Ya was stunned and looked at the information displayed on the phone, and the fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
She is a rural girl who dropped out of high school to work, and she is actually a colleague with a lady who drives a 10-million-level luxury car...... He also said that he would see you tomorrow......
Is she dreaming?
……
On the other side, Mu You left the pet store and did not go directly to the community where the incident occurred.
But now he wandered around outside, and when the sky was completely dark, he found a corner where no one was, and his muscles were rolled upside down, switching to the skin of a tall watchman, and putting on an invisibility cloak.
With the Mithril Bow and Jack-o-Lantern in his hands and all the preparations, Mu You went to the 'Hongwan Community'.
All the way to the building 39 that Xiaoya said, sure enough, it has been sealed.
A large circle of cordoned off was pulled around, and there were three policemen on duty at the door, and no one was allowed to approach this side.
Taking advantage of his stealth, Mu You quietly climbed over the blockade, bypassed the police, and entered the residential building.
The building is 22 stories high, and all the residents of the building have been evacuated, and each floor has been sealed.
Mu You went up to the 20th floor and finally found the scene of the crime.
In front of the door of the room in 2005, a pool of red and dried blood was so glaring that it was hard not to notice.
There were two policemen on duty at the door of the room on this floor at this time, and the two of them just blocked the door of the house, and Mu You couldn't get in, so he had to wait first.
A moment later, in between the two policemen changing shifts for dinner, he seized the opportunity to sneak into the house.
The body in the room had naturally been moved, but the traces on the ground still clearly showed him the victim's situation at that time.
Judging from the outline of the corpse, there is no doubt that the victim was a woman, and the wound should be in the throat, which looks like she was killed by a sharp weapon cut through her throat.
However, based on this alone, it is still impossible to tell whether it is a werewolf who committed the crime.
Mu You approached the location of some corpse lines, turned on the jack-o-lantern, and quietly searched nearby.
Under the light of the cyan dust, there were indeed some invisible traces on the ground, such as footprints and fingerprints!
Mu You immediately noticed that there was an undetectable handprint, or 'paw print', on the edge of the wardrobe on the side of the room! Because at the edge of those five fingers, there are five extremely sharp nails! There is no doubt that this is not a trace that can be rubbed by human hands!
Werewolf is right!
Mu You confirmed this, but his mood was even heavier.
Could it be that this is really the room of the 'little girl' in that game?
Strictly speaking, he and 'Little Girl' don't actually know each other, and they don't say a word seriously in the game.
But after all, they are players in the same camp, and the fate of this little girl is likely to indicate his future fate......
Shaking his head, Mu You picked up the lantern and continued to search, and soon found new traces.
Around the corpse on the ground, there were a large number of footprints, including werewolves, the victims' own, and policemen's, mixed and intertwined, extremely difficult to identify.
What Mu You noticed was that not far from the corpse, there was a footprint that abruptly extended out of this 'pile of footprints' and walked straight in the direction of the window.
The footprint was not large, about 34 yards, and it was not supposed to be the foot of an adult male, but rather a woman's or child's.
Mu You followed the footprints all the way to the window, and found that the footprints finally stepped on the edge of the window, and then disappeared......
"What does this mean? Someone jumped out of the window? This is more than 20 floors, even a werewolf wouldn't dare to jump directly......"
Mu You stretched out his head strangely and went out to take a look. Right outside the window is a drainage pipe, which is directly connected to the water tank on the roof of the building.
"Did you climb up the pipe to the roof?" Mu You wasn't sure.
After another search in the house, there was still no sign of the player. Moreover, even if there are player's props left, they must have been taken away by the werewolves long ago.
Taking advantage of the fact that the police on duty had not returned, Mu You decided to go to the roof to take a look.
Going straight up the stairs, Mu You took out his magic wand, unlocked the door on the roof of the building with a lock picking charm, and stepped onto the roof of the building.
It was getting late, and it was pitch black on the rooftop.
Mu You walked to the reservoir on the rooftop and searched around.
Sure enough, another line of footprints was found!
But what made Mu You strange was that this line of footprints was much larger than the one in the house just now, and it didn't look like a person's.
"What the hell is going on?"
Mu You couldn't help frowning, why are the clues on the scene getting more and more bizarre?
But he's found it, and he can't back down.
Mu You continued to follow the footprints, walking a long way along the wall, and finally rounded the corner of a stone platform in front of him...... Not!
Mu You suddenly froze, and the scene behind the corner made his pupils shrink suddenly, and his cold hairs stood on end!
A half-human, half-wolf creature huddles in a corner!
Gray fur, sharp fangs, covered in blood, and a burn-like wound on his left arm that was oozing blood.
The werewolf licked the wound to stop the bleeding and scanned the surroundings vigilantly with his eyes that glowed with a faint and fierce light.
The werewolf didn't seem to expect someone to suddenly appear in front of him, and a man and a wolf passed through a corner to cover it, and they all met unexpectedly, and they were all stunned.
"My day!"
This was the first time Mu You had seen a real werewolf in reality, it was much uglier than he imagined, and he only felt a chill rushing to the heavenly spirit cover.
Cloak of invisibility?
No, it's okay for this kind of thing to fool ordinary people, but in front of a high-level player, at such a close distance, the sound of breathing alone is enough to reveal his location!
Mu You didn't hesitate and immediately retreated, while his right hand quickly touched the pocket watch in his pocket.
It's a pity that werewolves move faster!
"Whew!"
A sound of breaking the air sounded, and the last came first.
Mu You only felt a pain in his right shoulder.
A hook pierced his right shoulder, just enough to stop him from reaching for his pocket watch.
Then, a huge force came, pulling him backwards violently.
Flipping his body in the air, Mu You vaguely saw that the werewolf in the corner was pulling the chain claw in his hand with one hand, and the other hand was raised high, and in that hand was holding a bone chopping knife stained with blood and minced meat!
