Lin Xue worked in this store for five days and observed silently for five days.
However, she has yet to find any trace of the Hooded Man.
As for the shorthaired shorthair, she had been in contact with it many times recently, inspected 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 its composition.
The result was nothing unusual. All signs showed that this was a very normal American Shorthair cat. At least as a cat, there was nothing wrong with it.
The only strange thing is that this cat is very smart, very smart! When Lin Xue fed it a few times, she even felt that it was not a cat, but a smart child...
Xiaoya turned her head and gave Lin Xue a strange look, and said seriously: "Sister Xue, first of all, I want to correct you, he is also your boss! Secondly... the boss is indeed a bit strange recently..." Xiaoya said, so was she. He frowned.
"Oh? What's so strange about it?" Lin Xue asked.
"I can't tell, but I always feel that the boss's recent behavior is a bit unnatural and he has become nagging..." Xiaoya frowned and thought seriously.
She and Mu You have worked together for more than two years and are very familiar with each other. Some extremely subtle changes in Mu You's body may not even be felt by him, but she can detect them immediately.
"Shenshennao...so what specific changes made you have this idea?" Lin Xue insisted on asking.
"A lot!" Xiaoya blurted out. After thinking for a while, she said mysteriously: "For example, once, I saw the boss reading a book at the front desk very seriously. He didn't hear me when I called him, so I walked closer and looked. After looking for a while, I found out that the book the boss was holding was actually a copy of "Harry Potter's Encyclopedia of Magic Spells"!"
"magic……"
Lin Xue had a strange expression on her face. This answer was something she never expected.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The boss doesn't know when he will be back. Let's get off work first." Xiaoya breathed out and stretched her arms to stretch her muscles.
"good."
Then the two simply cleaned up and went out together.
Xiaoya locked the door, used the hook to pull down the rolling shutter door, clapped her hands, and looked back to see Lin Xue still standing on the side of the road not far away.
"By the way, Sister Xue, I still don't know where you live?" This was the first time for the two of them to get off work together in a few days, Xiaoya walked to Lin Xue and asked.
"My home is in Shibei District."
"Oh...ah? Shishibei?"
Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Xue in surprise: "It's very far away. It takes more than two hours by subway... Do you want to take a taxi back?"
"No, someone will pick me up." Lin Xue shook her head.
"Oh, that's good..." Xiaoya nodded repeatedly, her eyes wandering, wanting to gossip about who would pick her up, whether it was her boyfriend or something.
At this moment, a car coming from the side stopped accurately on the roadside in front of the two people.
A short-haired woman wearing a deacon's uniform got out of the driver's seat and opened the back seat door: "Miss!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Lin Xue greeted Xiaoya with a smile and sat in the back seat of the car.
The car quickly started and drove away.
"See you tomorrow..."
Xiaoya stood there as petrified, waving her hands dully.
It wasn't until the car was far away that she shivered and realized what she was doing. She hurriedly took out her phone and checked the familiar yet unfamiliar car logo she had just seen.
The reason why she was familiar with it was because she had seen this car in a popular urban drama that she had recently followed. She had been photographed many times with this car logo featuring advertising, which left a deep impression on her.
And it was strange because she had never seen this car logo in reality.
When I checked, it turned out that...
"Maserati Butterfly, the same sports car as the heroine of "Moonlight", priced... 10.99 million..."
Xiaoya stared at the information displayed on her phone in stunned silence, and her fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
She was a rural girl who dropped out of high school to work, and she was actually a colleague of a young lady who drove a multi-million dollar luxury car... and she even said they'd see each other tomorrow...
Is she dreaming?
…
On the other side, Mu You left the pet shop and did not go directly to the community where the incident occurred.
Instead, he wandered around outside for a while, and after it got completely dark, he found a deserted corner, curled up his muscles, switched to a tall watchman skin, and put on an invisibility cloak.
Holding the mithril bow and pumpkin lantern in his hands, and making all preparations, Mu You went to the 'Hongwan Community'.
Along the way, we found the building No. 39 that Xiaoya mentioned. Sure enough, the building was closed.
A large cordon was drawn around the area, and three police officers were on duty at the door. No one was allowed to come near.
Mu You took advantage of his invisibility to quietly climb over the blockade, bypass the police, and enter the residential building.
This building is 22 stories high. All the residents in the building have been moved out, and every floor has been sealed.
Mu You went all the way to the 20th floor before finally finding the crime scene.
In front of the door of 2005's room, a pool of bright red dried blood was so dazzling that it was difficult not to notice it.
There were two policemen on duty at the door of the room on this floor. They blocked the door and Mu You couldn't get in, so he had to wait.
After a while, while the two policemen were changing shifts and eating, he took the opportunity to sneak into the house.
The bodies in the room had naturally been moved long ago, but the traces and fixed lines left on the ground still clearly showed him the condition of the victims at that time.
Judging from the outline of the body, the victim was undoubtedly a female. The wound should be in the throat. It looked like she died by being cut through the throat with a sharp weapon.
However, based on this alone, it is still impossible to determine whether a werewolf committed the crime.
Mu You approached the line of corpses, turned on the jack-o'-lantern, and quietly looked around.
Under the reflection of the cyan dust, there were indeed some invisible traces on the ground, such as footprints and fingerprints!
Mu You immediately noticed an undetectable handprint, or 'pawprint', on the edge of the wardrobe on one side of the room! Because the edges of those five fingers are connected with five extremely sharp nails! There is no doubt that this is not a mark that can be made by human hands!
The werewolf is correct!
Mu You confirmed this, but his mood became even heavier.
Could it be that this is really the 'little girl''s room in the game?
Strictly speaking, he and the 'little girl' didn't actually know each other, and they didn't even say a serious word in the game.
But after all, they are players from the same camp. Their lips are broken and their teeth are cold. The fate of this little girl may also foreshadow his future fate...
Shaking his head, Mu You picked up the lantern and continued searching, and soon found new traces.
There were a large number of footprints scattered around the body on the ground, including those of the werewolf, the victim's own, and those of the police. They were mixed and intertwined, making it extremely difficult to identify.
What Mu You noticed was that not far from the body, there was a footprint extending out of the 'pile of footprints' and walking straight towards the window.
The footprints were not too big, about size 34, and they were probably not those of an adult man, but rather those of a woman or a child.
Mu You chased the footprints all the way to the window, and found that the footprints actually stepped on the window edge and then disappeared...
"What does this mean? Someone jumped out of the window? This is more than 20 floors up. Even a werewolf wouldn't dare to jump directly..."
Mu You stretched out his head and took a look strangely. There happens to be a drainage pipe next to the window, which is directly connected to the water storage tank on the roof.
"Could it be that you followed the pipe and climbed to the roof?" Mu You was not sure.
After searching the house again, there was still no trace of any players. Moreover, even if there are player items left behind, they must have been taken away by werewolves long ago.
Before the policeman on duty came back, Mu You decided to go to the top of the building to take a look.
Going straight up the stairs, Mu You took out his wand, used the unlocking spell to unlock the door on the roof, and stepped onto the rooftop of the building.
It was getting late at this time, and the rooftop was pitch black.
Mu You walked to the water tank on the rooftop and searched around.
Sure enough, another set of footprints was found!
But what makes Mu You strange is that this set of footprints is much larger than the one in the house just now, and it doesn't look like it belongs to the same person.
"What's going on?"
Mu You couldn't help but frown, why were the clues at the scene getting more and more bizarre?
But he had already found this place, and he certainly couldn't back down.
Mu You continued to follow the footprints, followed the wall for a long distance, and finally rounded the corner of a stone platform in front... Hmm!
Mu You suddenly froze. The scene that caught his eye from behind the corner made his pupils shrink suddenly and the hairs on his body stood up!
A half-human, half-wolf creature was huddled in the corner!
It had gray fur, sharp fangs, and was covered in blood. A burn-like wound on his left arm was oozing blood.
While the werewolf was licking the wound to stop the bleeding, he scanned the surroundings vigilantly with eyes that exuded a faint fierce light.
The werewolf didn't seem to expect that someone would suddenly appear in front of him. One person and one wolf passed through the cover of a corner, and they were all stunned when they met unexpectedly.
"My day!"
This was the first time Mu You saw a real werewolf in reality. It was much uglier than he imagined. He only felt a chill going straight to Tianling Gai.
Invisibility cloak?
No, it's okay to fool ordinary people with this kind of thing, but in front of a high-level player, at such a close distance, just the sound of breathing is enough to reveal his position!
Mu You immediately retreated without any hesitation, and at the same time quickly reached for the pocket watch in his pocket with his right hand.
It's a pity that werewolves move faster!
"call out!"
A sound broke through the air, the last one coming first.
Mu You only felt a pain in his right shoulder.
A hook penetrated his right shoulder, just enough to stop him from reaching for his pocket watch.
Then, a huge force came, pulling his whole body back suddenly.
Turning his body over in the air, Mu You vaguely saw that the werewolf in the corner was pulling the chain claw in his hand with one hand, while the other hand was raised high. In that hand, he was holding a handful of chopped bones covered in blood and minced meat. knife!
