Chapter 60: None of them are human!
"Where did you get this photo? When was it taken?"
The moment Qinggui saw the photo, he snatched the phone away, carefully compared it, and asked repeatedly.
She never expected that the client she had been working on, whom she hadn't been able to get anything from, would make a breakthrough in just one night.
The mercenary standing to the side was equally astonished.
It's unbelievable that Yu Jing was able to find clues in such a short time, even though the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations was helpless in handling the case.
"To be honest, it was a coincidence. Here's what happened..."
To prevent the two from getting the wrong idea, Yu Jing simply explained the source of the photo.
Of course, he didn't mention that he was the face of the gym.
She only said that a friend of hers had received an invitation to a party and wanted her to go with him, which is why she sent this photo.
"The girl in the photo does look a lot like Sammi Cheng, but I asked the person who took the photo, and his description is completely different from the information you provided. We cannot rule out the possibility of coincidence."
"Lina's choice of the guesthouse is indeed questionable, and coupled with tonight's stormy weather, too many coincidences seem strange. Therefore, my suggestion is to go and confirm it in person. It won't take much time."
Retrieving his phone, Yu Jing leaned against the railing on the embankment and said in a deep voice.
The party was scheduled for around 7 p.m. Yu Jing and Xu Lang had arranged to go together. If all went well, they would soon meet a girl who looked remarkably like Sammi Cheng. He thought it would be well worth the trip.
"Of course we have to go. Remember what I just said? The Rain Demon seems to have some kind of need for young men and women. It often kidnaps them instead of killing them on the spot. The fitness influencer you mentioned gathered so many young men and women in a secluded guesthouse on a stormy night. This is very much in line with the Rain Demon's modus operandi. I suspect that it is secretly manipulating things or that it is mixed in with that group of people."
The mercenary immediately voted in favor, but then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he snapped the bamboo skewer in his hand and said with a rather grim expression,
"The appearances and abilities of alien monsters are incredibly diverse. Two years ago, I encountered a monster that was adept at disguising itself as a human... The Rain Demon has been able to contend with the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations in the old district of Sandun for so long, so it's most likely one of these creatures. Forced to lie low under the Bureau's encirclement and suppression until now, it's probably already planning to unleash its carnage tonight!"
"I will contact the employer now to ask if their daughter has any birthmarks or other distinguishing features that could identify her."
Confirming the identity of the girl in the upper right corner of the photo was, in Aoki's view, the highest priority at the moment.
The plan to lure the snake out of its hole was a last resort, but now that there are more noteworthy clues, there's no reason to ignore them.
The three reached a consensus and immediately began to make plans for the evening's gathering.
Yu Jing, as the invited person, could go directly, but to avoid alerting Qing Gui and the mercenaries, they had to provide support from the outside.
A muffled rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.
The clouds gradually darkened and churned incessantly.
It seemed as if it would collapse upon the entire city of Guangsha at any moment.
......
Six p.m.
Yu Jing met up with Xu Lang at the entrance of the gym.
The latter had clearly hired someone to take care of her image; her hairstyle, clothing, and accessories were all quite sophisticated. She probably planned to make a stunning appearance tonight and then launch a "fierce attack" on her favorite target.
Yu Jing couldn't bear to tell him that the romantic date he was imagining might not happen at the guesthouse later.
Of course, stimulation includes stimulation.
"Why are you wearing this? Didn't you say you were going to get a new outfit?"
Looking at Yu Jing, who was still dressed in simple everyday clothes, Xu Lang paused for half a second and asked.
"Hey, that was the original plan, but I've come to realize that you're the main character this time. My job is to help you win over your crush. A supporting role should act like a supporting role."
The excuse was one that Yu Jing had already come up with, and Xu Lang was quite pleased with it, laughing heartily as he stepped forward, put his arm around Yu Jing's shoulder, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. Help me get a girl tonight, and I'll give you a big red envelope afterwards!"
After Xu Lang finished speaking, he ran to the car excitedly, while Yu Jing got into the back seat and took out his phone to reply to messages in the discussion group.
[AAA+ Detective]: The location of the guesthouse has been found (guesthouse picture). My mercenary and I will monitor the surrounding area for you. If there is any emergency, we will contact you via earpiece immediately.
[AAA+ Detective]: The employer replied that Sammi Cheng has a crescent-shaped scar behind her right ear.
[Ashes]: Understood, I'll find a chance to confirm. The problem is, what if she's an alien monster in disguise...?
[AAA+ Detective]: She had a Maine Coon cat named Cotton, which died of illness two years ago. You can use this to test her.
Ashes: 1
[Old soldiers never die, they're just barbecued]: If the Rain Demon is really mixed in with the crowd, should we consider contacting the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to handle it? After all, there are many ordinary people at the scene, and a real fight could easily cause innocent casualties.
The rest of the text describes the Blue Demon and the mercenaries discussing when to contact the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.
According to the trio's plan, Yu Jingxian went in first to investigate the true identity of the girl who resembled Sammi Cheng, while Qing Gui and the mercenary monitored the situation inside and outside the guesthouse with his weapons and equipment.
If a rainstorm or any other emergency occurs, they will immediately rush to provide support.
Given that the Rain Demon's strength is unknown, the Bureau of Investigation will definitely need to contact it; the key is how to seize the right moment.
If given the chance, the trio would certainly like to take care of the Rain Demon while searching for the person.
In this way, in addition to the employer's reward, they can also get the official bounty, making a double profit.
If the Rain Demon is too strong, then the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations is our trump card. We just need to stall for time and wait for them to come and help us. At that time, we can get a clue fee, which is also a way to earn some extra money.
The Bluebird and the mercenaries disagreed on this point, which is why they wanted Yu Jing to make the decision.
【Ashes】: Wait for my message. I'll let you know when to contact the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.
As they approached the guesthouse, Yu Jing was still undecided and decided to improvise.
We need to find out at least whether there are any monsters hiding among the people in the guesthouse.
After parking the car on the street outside the guesthouse, Yu Jing held an umbrella and followed Xu Lang towards the gate. Although the storm had not yet arrived, a light drizzle had begun to fall from the sky, and the thunder in the sky grew increasingly oppressive.
Observing the surrounding environment, although the guesthouse is not small, its location is indeed remote.
There were only a few scattered buildings nearby, and a small hill hidden in the rain behind them.
"Girls, look who I brought! My good buddy, fitness guru Yu Jing!"
Xu Lang stood in front of the video screen by the door and waved for Yu Jing to come over quickly.
As they approached, even before the door opened, they could hear a series of silvery laughs coming from inside. Yu Jing was thinking about how to deal with it when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the detector pointer on the Torch Watch suddenly started to rise.
There was no person behind the door!
