"Hello, Officer Ling? What's up..." You Yonghuai answered the phone, his eyes still sleepy, and asked in a drawn-out voice.

He didn't see Si Xuanyin next to him, so it seems the TV series he chose last night was pretty good.

"Someone jumped off a building."

Hearing news of someone's death first thing in the morning startled You Yonghuai, but he immediately asked, bewildered, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Because that student was suspected of being influenced by supernatural forces, the case has been transferred to us." Ling Xiuqi sighed and said, "Half an hour later, arrive... never mind, you probably won't make it in half an hour."

You Yonghuai's lips twitched; he couldn't deny it.

"Just wait at home, I'll come pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, You Yonghuai grabbed two loaves of bread for breakfast, then loudly called over Si Xuanyin to begin today's special inspection.

Only the [physical] aspect remains unexplored.

It was only then that You Yonghuai realized he should have saved his first "accumulated experience for now".

If even a failed test has its advantages, wouldn't a successful test be a huge success?

[Physical Examination: A value greater than 80 indicates a successful test]

Test result: 62

[Check failed! Strength +5]

You Yonghuai tried throwing a few punches and felt that it wouldn't be long before he could generate the force of his punches.

The main strategy is to deal high damage with the left punch and high damage with the right punch.

The movement is a bit slow, probably because the agility is not high enough.

Before long, Ling Xiuqi arrived in a police car. You Yonghuai got in and asked, "So, which school's student was the one who died?"

"Wenjiang Middle School, that private school that changed six principals in six years." Ling Xiuqi drove with one hand, his face full of displeasure at being given an extra task, explaining the specific situation to You Yonghuai.

"The deceased was named Wei Haiping, a high school sophomore who was said to suffer from depression. The specific reason for his suicide is still unclear, but the school's response was that the pressure of the college entrance examination was too great. Ha."

"The person died two days ago. Captain Li sent people to handle the matter, but the more they handled it, the more something seemed wrong, so he sent me to take a look. As a result, we found a very strong spiritual residue on the deceased."

"After Wei Haiping jumped off the building, one of his close roommates, named Li Gui, also disappeared. His fate is currently unknown. We have notified their parents, but they don't seem to be responding."

"If their fate is unknown, then they are dead."

"..." Ling Xiuqi glanced sideways at Si Xuanyin, who had suddenly spoken, his eyes filled with surprise. "What are you talking about?"

"Sorry, this guy watched TV all night and probably hasn't recovered yet," You Yonghuai said with an awkward laugh.

"What TV series are you watching?"

"The New Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

"...Good choice." Ling Xiuqi gave a thumbs up.

While listening to Si Xuanyin's complaints about the new Three Kingdoms, Ling Xiuqi drove to Wenjiang Middle School.

Due to a student jumping off a building, most students at Wenjiang Middle School were forced to take a holiday, except for the second-year students, who were about to take their final exams.

Standing at the school gate was a short, middle-aged man. Upon seeing Ling Xiuqi in his police uniform, he hurriedly approached him and said, "Officer, I am Dai Quan, the Dean of Academic Affairs of Wenjiang School. If you need anything during the investigation, just let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate you."

"Let's go to the scene of the crime first." Ling Xiuqi nodded and gestured for Dai Quan to lead the way.

Director Dai led the two to the boys' dormitory building. The bushes had been marked with white lines by the police, and the bloodstains around them had not yet been cleaned up.

Looking at the blood on the ground, which had turned black and had almost no smell, You Yonghuai squinted.

He saw tiny, pale blue specks of light shimmering on the pool of blood.

After telling Ling Xiuqi what he had seen, You Yonghuai thought he had seen wrong, but Ling Xiuqi turned around with a hint of surprise and said in a low voice, "Those are residual traces of spiritual energy, indicating that the deceased's body was full of spiritual energy... So you can see these things? Why didn't you say so before?"

"Because I couldn't see it before..." You Yonghuai chuckled awkwardly, without answering.

Then, Ling Xiuqi looked up at the four-story dormitory building and asked, "Where was the deceased's room?"

"On the third floor, in dormitory room 321."

After unlocking the dormitory with facial recognition, Director Dai led the two to the third floor, but Si Xuanyin was one step ahead and had already flown to the third floor first.

When the group reached room 321, she poked her head out from room 319 next door and waved to them, saying, "Come on in, there's something here!"

"Officer, this is 321... Hey, you've come to the wrong room!" Director Dai had just opened the door and frowned when he saw the dormitory room that hadn't been cleaned up much. Just then, he saw You Yonghuai and his companion rush into the next dormitory room.

The dormitory at Wenjiang Middle School has two double beds on each side, with six beds for living and two for storing miscellaneous items. There is a ladder cabinet between the double beds.

"Over here." Si Xuanyin floated to the side of an upper bunk with a mattress on it. "Lift it up."

Director Dai followed, and just as he was about to speak up to remind them, he saw You Yonghuai forcefully flip over a mattress with a thick quilt and mosquito net on it.

Ling Xiuqi stood to the side with his hands clasped in a fist, not stopping them, and his eyes even showed a hint of admiration.

"Officer, don't do anything reckless!" Director Dai tried to stop him, but it was too late. Before he could finish speaking, the mattress had already fallen to the ground.

Being a demon pill feels completely different.

You Yonghuai lowered his head and finally understood why Si Xuanyin had called the two of them over.

On this bed board, a small, blackened magic circle is drawn.

You Yonghuai made way for Ling Xiuqi on the ladder, hoping the latter could have a chat, but he only took a picture.

"I'll send it back to headquarters and have them analyze it—by the way, it was drawn in blood." The last part was said while looking at Director Dai.

Upon hearing this, Director Dai hurriedly stepped forward, and his pupils dilated in shock when he saw the magic array.

While Director Dai was surprised, You Yonghuai also casually lifted a corner of the mattresses on the other beds to take a look, but found no trace of the magic array.

"Who is staying in this bed?" Ling Xiuqi asked.

"Wait a moment, let me ask." Director Dai quickly dialed the dormitory manager on the third floor and soon replied, "This bed belongs to Li Gui, the student who went missing."

"Looks like he's got some skills." Ling Xiuqi raised an eyebrow, then climbed down from the cabinet and said, "Alright, let's go check out 321."

Director Dai nodded and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He originally thought that the two policemen's visit would be in vain. After all, for some reason, although a student had gone missing, Wei Haiping's death was a standard suicide due to excessive pressure.

But now that I see it, the truth might be a bit more mysterious.

Director Dai followed behind the two police officers and checked Li Gui's file.

There's no mental illness involved.
