Chapter 38: An unexpected encounter with a werewolf(1/2)

 Lin Xue worked in this store for five days and observed silently for five days.

However, she has still found no trace of the hooded man.

As for the shorthair, she has 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 ingredients.

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 this was not a cat, but a smart child...<

/p>

Xiaoya turned her head and looked 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 is indeed a bit strange recently..." Xiaoya said, so was she.

Frowning.

"Oh? What's so strange about it?" Lin Xue asked.

"I can't tell, but I always feel that the boss's recent actions are 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 may not even be felt by him, but she can detect them immediately.

"She is nagging...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 my boss reading a book at the front desk very seriously. He didn't even 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 "The Complete Collection of Harry Potter Magic Spells"!"

"Magic..."

Lin Xue had a strange look 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.

"Okay."

Then the two simply cleaned up and went out together.

Xiaoya locked the door, pulled down the rolling shutter door with a hook, clapped her hands, and looked back, seeing 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 he 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 smiled and said hello to Xiaoya, then 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 she was following recently. She had been photographed many times with this advertising-embedded car logo, which left a deep impression on her.

The strangeness is because she has never seen this car logo in real life.

When I checked, it turned out that...

"Maserati Butterfly, the same sports car as the heroine of "Moonlight", priced... 10.99 million..."

Xiaoya stared blankly at the information displayed on her phone, and her fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.

She, a rural girl who dropped out of high school to work, is actually a colleague of a young lady who drives a multi-million-dollar luxury car... She even said they would 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.

But now he wandered around outside, 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 has been closed.

A large circle of cordoned off tape was pulled out around the area, and three police officers were on duty at the door. No one was allowed to come near here.

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 room 2205, 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 is undoubtedly a female. The wound should be in the throat. It looks 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 some lines of corpses, turned on the jack-o'-lantern, and quietly took a look 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 'claw print', on the edge of the wardrobe on one side of the room! Because the edges of those five fingers were connected with five extremely sharp nails!

There is no doubt that this is not a mark that can be made by human hands!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The werewolf is correct!

Mu You confirmed this, but his mood became even more solemn.

Could it be that this is really the ‘little girl’s’ room in that 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, and the little girl's fate 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 surrounding the corpse on the ground, including those of the werewolf, the victim himself, and the police. They were mixed together and extremely difficult to identify.

But what Mu You noticed was that not far from the body, there was a footprint extending abruptly from the 'pile of footprints', walking straight towards the window.

The footprints are not too big, about size 34. They should not be those of an adult male, 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 over twenty floors, even a werewolf wouldn't dare to jump directly..."

Mu You stretched his head out to take a look strangely. There happened to be a drainage pipe next to the window, which was 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 is not sure.

After searching the house again, there was still no trace of any players. Moreover, even if there were player props left behind, they must have been taken away by the werewolf.

Before the policeman on duty came back, Mu You decided to go to the roof to take a look.

Going straight up the stairs, Mu You took out his magic 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 line of footprints is much larger than the one in the house just now, and it doesn't look like it belongs to one person.

"What's going on?"

Mu You couldn't help but frown, why are the clues at the scene getting more and more bizarre?

But he has found this place, and he must not 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 is huddled in the corner!

It has gray fur, sharp fangs, and is covered in blood. There is a burn-like wound on the left arm that is constantly oozing blood.
To be continued...
