No waiting long for Lu Jian year and Peng Long, Zhou Xin soon returned to the Gostar with the fruits of victory.
The matter went surprisingly smoothly.
Zhou Xin merely put forward the possibility of saving his nephew, and his aunt and uncle completed all the subsequent work for him.
Even his sister-in-law was excited.
Under the repeated questioning of the three, his brother quickly revealed everything he knew.
"The murderer is a bat person, without a nose, slender ears, and black hair on his face."
Zhou Xin described the appearance he had heard to Lu Jian year and Peng Long.
"Ugh, Zhou Qi, all the bat spirits look like that; is there nothing special about them, like tattoos or birthmarks? After all, in our Zhongyuan City, there are at least ten thousand bat spirits. Where are we supposed to look for one?"
After listening to Zhou Qi's description, Peng Long had a face full of constipation.
Zhongyuan City is located in a basin, surrounded by continuous mountains, including an ancient forest.
And the bat spirits, being a gregarious species, can thrive and multiply in any cave they find.
It's impossible to find them!
"No, the ghost messengers all use cellphones now. How can demons still live in the mountains? That's ancient?"
Zhou Qi asked in astonishment.
She thought that all living beings had entered the modern society.
So the demons still eat raw meat and drink blood? Is that right?
"What do you care? Demons are animals that have become spirits; who knows what preferences they still retain? In any case, just based on this description of the appearance, the case can't be solved!"
Peng Long rolled his eyes.
Ten thousand bat spirits, where should we check them?
Their Special Affairs Management Bureau only has a few people. If we really went after this, how would we handle the other cases?
"Alas, if your ghost messengers were here, it's possible that there might be other witnesses among the many ghosts in the city at night."
Peng Long shook his head and sighed, with a tone of regret in his voice.
Lu Jian Nian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Why did the ghost messengers leave earlier and not later? This time is too coincidental!
Is it...?
Lu Jian Nian stared at Zhou Qi for a moment, then shook his head and began to rethink the case.
Zhou Qi, on the other hand, thought for a moment and dialed Zhou Zhuo, his cousin's phone.
It's better to let Zhou Zhuo provide other clues than to think about strategies here. I may have overlooked something.
After all, she's not a professional.
"Hey, Zhou Xin, you called just in time. I suddenly remembered that I have a security camera at home."
"We installed one in his room for fear that Daobao might get into trouble. Later, when Daobao grew up, we forgot about it. But the camera hasn't been removed."
"The big bat from last night probably got caught on the camera in Daobao's room."
Zhou Zhuo said this while sending a video to Zhou Xin.
"Holy hell, there's even a camera?"
Peng Long also perked up immediately. If there's crucial evidence, solving the case would be much easier.
The three quickly brought their heads together again.
Even Guochepai's baby also appeared and floated above Zhou Xin, watching intently.
The video was clear.
It was specifically designed for shooting babies.
It shows a child sleeping quietly in the room. Suddenly, a tall figure bursts into the room.
Although the figure was back to the camera when it entered, when it turned around holding the child, its face was clearly captured by the camera.
Indeed, it's just like Zhou Zhuo described.
Flattened nose, pointed ears, and a bat-like face.
"Halt!"
Zhou Xin and Peng Long were still carefully observing for any unusual places, while Lu Jian Nian suddenly called a halt.
"Rewind three seconds, it's here. Stop!"
Lu Jian Nian shouted "stop" again, and the video paused.
"I didn't expect him to still be alive. I know who he is now!"
Looking at the familiar face in the video, Lu Jian Nian raised an eyebrow.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Xin asked blankly.
Peng Long observed for a moment and then slapped his thigh hard,
"It's that scoundrel! Stealing chickens and dogs was one thing, but now he dares to steal a child? He's really cheeky!"
"Let's go, let's go! We're going to find him now!"
Peng Long and Lu Jian Nian obviously had no intention of explaining, calling out to Guochepai. Guochepai started up.
"Not that, am I not your master? What do they mean?"
Zhou Xin couldn't help but complain.
The Guochepai baby just gave Zhou Xin an embarrassed smile, and its figure vanished in an instant.
Nowadays, with You Shi Lu not around, Guochepai is really afraid that Lu Jian Nian might suddenly attack.
The feeling of being roasted by the scorching fire, it doesn't want to experience it again in this life!
It's too painful!
On the way, under Zhou Xin's continuous questioning, Peng Long still told him about their connection with the murderer.
The murderer is named Yan Shu, whose name is exactly the same as the ancient scholar's, but it's just the homophone of Yamo.
Although this creature looks like a bat spirit, it's actually a mole spirit.
When Peng Long and Lu Jian Nian first started their career, they coincidentally encountered a mouse spirit gang. Yan Shu was among them at that time, pretending to be a mouse spirit.
Later, Lu Jian Nian discovered his differences and spared him since he considered him a valuable breed in the spirit world.
Then, when they encountered another bat spirit gang committing a crime, the guy disguised himself as a bat spirit and mingled with them again.
This time, Lu Jian Nian didn't spare him because of the old friendship, but decided to take decisive action to kill him.
Unfortunately, Yan Shu managed to escape later. In exchange for losing his tail, he finally escaped from Lu Jian Nian's grasp and disappeared completely.
"Originally, I thought the guy had learned his lesson, but who knew he was as stubborn as ever!"
Peng Long disdainfully flicked his tongue.
A mole spirit, can't he just be a normal, precious species and behave well?
Why must he come out and seek death?
"Well, I ask you, do spirits become so easily?"
After Peng Long finished speaking, Zhou Xin timidly opened his mouth.
She was first encountered by the Min Yue, the Blood Crystal Fire Lion.
What a grand and powerful species name!
Why does it sound like a rat or a bat when Peng Long mentions it?
The level dropped so suddenly, isn't that terrible!
"What kind of look is that? You're looking down on this low-level spirit beast, aren't you? Don't forget that the human world is protected by the laws of heaven, and those legendary giant spirits are like countless gods and immortals in the sky, unable to descend to the human world. Their bloodlines have also been diluted generation after generation, becoming what they are now."
"However, the more so, the more careful you have to be. Because you can never be sure when you might encounter a spirit beast that has reverted to its primitive state. Once a spirit beast has reverted, its power can rival that of gods and immortals! It's not something that ordinary humans can compete with!"
Peng Long gave a brief introduction to the spirit world, leaving Zhou Xin, a newcomer to the circle, astonished.
"Don't talk anymore, we've arrived!"
Just as Zhou Xin was gaining a lot of knowledge, Lu Jian Nian spoke lightly, and the Guochepai stopped.
