Di Ziyan wouldn’t be in such a fluster if it wasn’t something important.
“What happened?” Chi Jiao instinctively thought of Bai Wanxi’s corpse in the 117 building. “Did the body…”
Fortunately, Di Ziyan shook his head. “It has nothing to do with the body. There has been no movement from She Qi’s side. Boss, the people we sent to investigate a case went missing last night. We haven’t found them yet.”
“Missing? Was there any evidence at the scene?” Chi Jiao asked with a frown.
Di Ziyan shook his head with a solemn expression. “No. It’s like this. We received a report that a villa is haunted and two families went missing inside. Last night, we sent three people to investigate the exact location of the villa and the changes in the surrounding magnetic field. We planned to send more people to investigate further today. However, we lost contact with Wang Yihuan and the other two. We now suspect that the three of them entered the villa and disappeared during the investigation.”
Bai Wanxi stood at the side and looked at Chi Jiao curiously. “Jiaojiao, why did these people disappear the moment they entered the villa?”
“Such a strange thing must be related to Espers. Prepare the case information. I’ll go to the crime scene with you to check on the situation.” Chi Jiao turned to look at Bai Wanxi and said gently, “Sister Wanxi, I’m going to get very busy. Go back to your room and wait for me to come back.”
Bai Wanxi wasn’t obedient this time. She looked at Chi Jiao carefully and asked in a low voice, “Jiaojiao, can I go with you? I promise I won’t cause trouble for you.”
“But the place I’m going to is very dangerous. You might get injured,” Chi Jiao said worriedly.
“I have a feeling that I’ve dealt with bad people with you in the past. I thought that perhaps if I went with you, I would be able to recall some things from the past… However, I don’t have any special abilities. I don’t want to cause trouble for you.” Bai Wanxi tried her best to squeeze out a smile so that she wouldn’t look too disappointed.
However, Chi Jiao hated to see her like this, especially when she thought of the Bai Wanxi in the diary. She was like this too. She would sacrifice her life for others. As a Holy Maiden, the only time she was selfish was when she chose Baili Yu.
But in the end, she didn’t get what she wanted. She still didn’t have a good ending.
At this thought, Chi Jiao’s heart softened.
She didn’t say anything. Instead, she asked the little heart with her mind, “Little heart, can you help me protect Sister Wanxi if I bring her to the scene?”
The little heart immediately responded enthusiastically. It said happily, “Of course. Don’t worry, Master. As long as it isn’t She Qi himself, I’m confident that I can protect Bai Wanxi.”
Chi Jiao had heard from Quan Jue that although She Qi had escaped, he was seriously injured. He probably wouldn’t jump out to cause trouble for a while, so she didn’t have to worry about him plotting anything in the near future.
“Sister Wanxi, you can come with me if you want to. However, you have to listen to me when you arrive at the scene. You can’t act on your own,” Chi Jiao reminded her worriedly.
