I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 153 Internal Conflicts
"what?!"

Xu Zhe was stunned for a moment, and the cold ghost realm suddenly exploded!
And the gorgeous rings on his fingers turned into countless human faces wailing in pain in the ghost realm!

The coffee I just tasted also turned into thick blood!

The bubbles inside struggled and burst like evil spirits in a frying pan.

"Wait...who?"

Xu Zhe stood up and suddenly froze again, frowning and asking.

"Jiang Xiaojiang."

"Jiang Xiaojiang?"

Xu Zhe repeated it word by word, then sat back on the sofa.

The ghost realm around him also quietly dissipated.

But his frown deepened.

"Why is it her...what's the use of her..."

Xu Zhe drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

"…Where were you? How did you know she was dead?"

He asked, glancing at his phone.

"I... Boss, I... I'm at Jiang Xiaojiang's house right now. Her body..."

"You're at Jiang Xiaojiang's house? Today? What are you doing there?"

"...Boss, we... I, I, I, I made an appointment with her today to... to discuss work matters..."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded visibly guilty.

"Liu Xu, do you know how your predecessor Tian Ming died? I'm still missing a ring."

Xu Zhe raised his hand, spread out his five fingers and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Boss, we...she asked me to meet her at this time...to take care of her physical needs..."

"Hehe...bitch..."

A hint of murderous intent appeared in Xu Zhe's eyes...

"Are you the only one here?"

"Yes, Boss. I told you as soon as I found out!"

"You still have some sense. Don't mess up the scene. I'll be there soon."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Even a shameless bitch like this can get an internship on the committee... A cripple like you is worse than a bitch."

"What did I, Xu Zhe, do wrong to have a loser like you born into my family?"

Xu Zhe stared at the closed room on the second floor without concealing his voice.

"waste……"

Hearing a faint sound coming from inside, Xu Zhe snorted coldly.

"Turn down the temperature ten degrees for me."

He said to the cleaning lady.

Then with a bang, the door slammed shut!
Seven minutes later, Xu Zhe came to Jiang Xiaojiang's house with a gloomy face.

"Old...boss..."

Liu Xu's face was extremely pale.

When Xu Zhe saw the thin layer of skin without flesh and blood on the ground, his expression changed slightly.

Because just based on this way of death, it can be completely confirmed that Jiang Xiaojiang was not killed by humans or animals, but by a gluttonous ghost.

Only a glutton who is at least one major level stronger than her can ignore her weaknesses and kill her directly.

"What time is your appointment with this bitch?"

Xu Zhe asked coldly.

"Ten o'clock..."

Liu Xu glanced at Xu Zhe quickly.

"Boss, I... I know the password to her door..."

"I called you right after I saw she was dead..."

他吞了口唾沫。

"Boss, I feel... I feel like this was definitely done by those people from the Coordination Department!"

"Shut up and give me all the information about Jiang Xiaojiang, including everything that happened before her death, and all the movement of people in the community during this period."

Xu Zhe closed his eyes and said, suppressing his anger.

"understand!"

Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.

Xu Zhe was the only one left in the room.

His ghost domain quietly bloomed, covering Jiang Xiaojiang's entire home.

Then, his ears trembled slightly.

"Impatient...excited...? Disbelief...fear...despair...regret..."

Xu Zhe closed his eyes and twisted his neck.

The ears grew longer and more pointed.

His frown grew deeper and deeper!
Because all he heard was the echo of Jiang Xiaojiang's emotions.

After a long time, Xu Zhe opened his eyes and looked at the crime scene which was too clean.

"The crime was committed by an acquaintance, so Jiang Xiaojiang didn't resist at all..."

"The disbelief in the emotion is so strong..."

"But..." Xu Zhe closed his eyes again.

His ghost domain, which covered Jiang Xiaojiang's entire home, gradually shrank until it only covered the living room where the crime occurred.

But after listening for a few more minutes, Xu Zhe's frown didn't relax at all.

Because throughout the entire crime scene, he didn't hear any echo of the second person's emotions...

In other words, either Jiang Xiaojiang committed suicide.

Or, the man who killed her...

"The strength is at least D+, most likely C."

"I'm an acquaintance of Jiang Xiaojiang, and he's received professional training in emotional control."

"But his ability..."

Xu Zhe stared at Jiang Xiaojiang's body.

It seems like it's hollowing people out from the inside?

He couldn't think of any ability that matched this method of killing.

However, if they only meet the first two points, they are most likely people within the committee...

Could it really be from the Coordination Department?

Xu Zhe's face became even gloomier.

Over the years, under the system where gluttons can rely on their mothers to "reproduce", the number of gluttons has increased, making the number of humans seem to be decreasing.

The question of the distribution of people and livestock has always been the core of the committee's power.

In the past, at least within the committee, no matter the level, at least every pair of gluttons could be allocated a human or an animal.

But now... there are not enough people and animals to go around.

Therefore, the coordination department responsible for the allocation of humans and animals decided to reduce the allocation of humans and animals to the gluttons in the siege and killing department.

After all, the siege department has the largest number of gluttonous ghosts.

And this is where the contradiction begins.

The Siege Department accused the Coordination Department of doing the easiest work but receiving the most benefits.

The Coordination Department's Encirclement and Killing Department has the largest number of people, but its efficiency is extremely low, and there are still so many people and animals on the loose.

The two departments are already at loggerheads, and both want to find something to hold against the other.

Especially after the first round of drawing lots for the next allocation of humans and livestock ended just half a year ago.

A team leader of the Operations Department of the Encirclement and Killing Division, who was not assigned any human or animal tasks, retaliated by killing the Taogui who was in charge of the preliminary preparations for the lottery in the Coordination Department.

It turned out that there was something wrong with the lot I drew!

Now, a new cycle will begin in about three years.

New elections within the committee are also about to begin.

If most of the seven committee members are nominated by the Siege Department, then the interests of the Coordination Department will be greatly reduced starting from the next round.

The opposite is the same.

So at this juncture, the struggle between the two departments has developed to the level of real swords and guns.

Some important candidates have been intimidated and assassinated by each other.

But no one has been killed yet.

until today……

But what makes Xu Zhe confused now is...

Coordination Department, why did you kill Jiang Xiaojiang, such an insignificant intern?
Killing her will not affect the current internal structure of the siege and killing unit, nor will it affect the position of Zhang Guang, the leader of the siege and killing unit.

It seems to have no impact on the election of the seven members.

Instead, it will gather strength within the siege unit...

"Isn't it the Coordination Department who did it?"

"Is it a human animal?"

"Impossible... It's even more impossible for a human or animal to risk such a great sacrifice to kill such a bitch..."

Xu Zhe rubbed the ring on his hand and sat on the sofa in deep thought.

"Boss."

Just when he had no idea what to do, Liu Xu came to him with a stack of information.

"Boss, these are all of Jiang Xiaojiang's social connections. This woman..."

"You've slept with everyone, right?"

Xu Zhe took the information and asked, "Have you slept with me?"

he asked calmly.

"No! I didn't find anything!"

Liu Xu straightened his back instantly and spoke loudly.

"Um……"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Although Liu Xu is a little timid, he works quickly and is quite smart.

He flipped through the information quickly.

"Um?!"

Xu Zhe looked at the page in front of him and his eyes suddenly froze.

...Lin Xing'an?

　I would like to recommend a very good suspense book, also written by Ziliang. I need not say much about the value of the two words "Ziliang" in suspense, brothers. This book is on the shelves today, you can support it!
