You're cast as a villain, and you're supposed to teach the police how to solve cases?

Yaksha looked at the camera, but a large hand covered it and crushed the camera.

The live stream screen went black again, a familiar and predictable pattern. Everyone's used to it, and no one's bothered to complain anymore.

Oh dear, another one died.

[Yaksha is truly awesome; he kills without hesitation at all.]

[He looks kind of handsome, so cool and charismatic.]

Honestly, after seeing it so many times, it's not that scary anymore; I just think it's cool.

[But if the Yaksha killed the village chief, does that mean the village chief wasn't the Yaksha anymore?]

Qin Wei: [That's hard to say. If the village chief is played by Meng Yang, he might very well hire someone to impersonate a demon and fake his own murder to clear himself of suspicion.]

Meng Yang is truly capable of doing this, and he even enjoys doing it.

......

The words are divided into two parts.

At 9 p.m., Zhao led his men to disperse along the banks of the Dacang River and found several secluded spots to hide.

"Xiao Song, contact everyone and tell them to report any issues promptly."

Team Leader Zhao gave an order, but before he could speak, Xiao Song pointed behind Team Leader Zhao and said with a look of utter despair,

"Team Leader Zhao, no need to report anymore, just see for yourself."

Team Leader Zhao turned around curiously and immediately became furious.

Under the pale moonlight, a group of figures moved furtively along the riverbank.

You might say they're immature, but they still know to bend over.

You could say they're sensible, since they're all laughing and joking around.

[Hahaha, this is definitely Lu Fei and her group.]

[You guys are killing me with laughter! At this rate, not only will the Yaksha be afraid to come out, but even the moon won't dare to appear.]

[Professional! Can you be a little more professional? Oh my god, I'm laughing so hard.]

...

"How did you know this place? Don't you know this is the scene of an arrest?" Captain Zhao reprimanded fiercely in a low voice, his tone as stern as the biting winter wind.

The group was taken aback by Zhao's stern tone and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Captain Zhao, shall I take them back?" Xiao Song suggested.

Team Leader Zhao checked the time; it was almost 10 o'clock. No one could guarantee when the Yaksha would come out. If they were sent back now, it would take more than ten minutes on the way. If the Yaksha saw them and never came out again, they would be finished.

"There's no time! Make them hide!"

Team Leader Zhao said something rather irritating.

After saying that, he looked at the group with a livid face, pointed at their noses, and cursed.

"I'm telling you, if this operation fails because of you, you will all be held responsible!"

After scolding them, Team Leader Zhao helplessly assigned seats to the group.

Five people came in total, except for Shen Yi and Xiao Hong.

After Captain Zhao finished scolding everyone, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Fei lowered her voice and said,

"See, I told you it was nothing."

Reba was a little worried. "Lu Fei, Captain Zhao said he'll hold us accountable."

"Tch!" Lu Fei didn't care at all. "If you really want to investigate, we'll just say we came out to play at night. Who says we can't come out to play at night?"

"That's right, we're out having fun." Wang Rou was also a fearless troublemaker, and now that they were at the scene, she felt no fear, only excitement.

Compared to the three women, the two men were noticeably more nervous, glancing around warily from time to time.

Liu Kun gripped a rock tightly in his hand, ready to fight Yaksha at any moment.

Team Leader Zhao glanced over and reiterated his orders that they must not move or speak.

Everything is ready now, just waiting for the Yaksha to appear.

Do you think Yaksha will come back?

[It's hard to say. He's already killed the village chief; logically, he shouldn't be coming back.]

That's hard to say; maybe he's trying to scare someone again.

The death of a village chief isn't scary enough? How much scarier do you want?

I'm so afraid the river will suddenly split open and a monster will fly out from one of them—that would be hilarious!

The live stream was incredibly boring, with people chatting idly, and nobody knew if Yaksha would ever reappear.

...

A group of people squatted there for almost half an hour, which was incredibly boring.

Liu Kun had already put the stone down; who could bear to keep holding onto it?

Dilraba was even more straightforward and fell asleep right next to Lu Fei.

"Sister Fei, what time do you think this Yaksha will appear?" Wang Rou leaned closer to Liu Kun, feeling rather bored.

"How would I know? But I don't think it will be past midnight. Usually, there's no one around after midnight, so it wouldn't make any difference if it came out."

"That makes sense. Let's wait another hour then."

As soon as Wang Rou finished speaking, Liu Kun yawned.

"Honey, I can't take it anymore, I want to go home, it's too boring."

Seeing her boyfriend's useless state, Wang Rou grabbed him and pinched him hard.

"All you do is sleep all day! How are you going to get back now? What if you run into a demon by yourself?"

"That's perfect, I'll go back too. The two of us will keep each other company, and then we won't be afraid of the Yaksha," Zheng Guanjie suddenly said.

"Yes, we'll be fine when we get back." Liu Kun just wanted to go back to sleep; why was he standing outside in this cold wind?

Seeing that they had company, Wang Rou felt relieved. She gave the two some instructions and told them to sneak back home.

Team Leader Zhao originally wanted to stop them, but then he thought it would be good for someone to move around a bit at this time, so that Yaksha wouldn't know they were setting up a stakeout on the riverbank.

...

Tonight, Xiahe Village is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Squeak--

A harsh creaking sound from the door hinges was particularly jarring in the night. Another courtyard gate opened, and a head popped out, looking around furtively to make sure no one was watching before finally stepping out.

It's Li Zhiqiang!

Wasn't he pretending to be a demon to kill the village chief?

[It's been quite a while; maybe he's already back.]

[Look at this guy, he looks like he's about to do something bad.]

Qin Wei: [They're probably there to dispose of the village chief's body.]

It seems this Li Zhiqiang is the real Meng Yang.

Qin Wei: [I still maintain my view: anything is possible; the village chief might have faked his death.]

[Damn it, watching crime dramas used to be so satisfying; it was always obvious who the murderer was. But this guy, Meng Yang, has made crime dramas a complete mess; nobody knows who the murderer is anymore.]

...

Li Zhiqiang carried a package on his back and carefully walked towards the village entrance, choosing to walk in the darkest places along the way, afraid of being discovered.

[Hmm, it looks like he's heading towards the village entrance.]

Zhao, the team leader, was lying in wait at the village entrance; he's walked right into a trap.

[This guy's really dedicated; he's already killed someone, and he still goes on to scare people. He's some kind of demon!]

...

Li Zhiqiang walked a little further, and when he was almost out of the village, he stopped in a dark corner. He looked around and, seeing that no one was there, put the package on the ground.

Sizzle!

He unzipped the bag and pulled out a large bundle of things.

This thing was all sorts of colorful things, all crumpled up and no one knew what it was. Just as the people in the live stream were wondering what it was, he pulled out a mask from it and put it on his face.
