The place where Song Ying lives, Ye Qiu has been here a few times.

Now upon entering inside, he didn’t notice anything different from before.

Song Ying went to find some tea leaves, preparing to brew a pot of tea for Ye Qiu.

Actually, Song Ying doesn’t like moving, it’s very troublesome to move once, she used to live here by herself, but there are still many things.

If she really has to move, it would probably take a long time to pack everything up.

"Do you really want me to move out?" Song Ying asked.

"People are gossiping about you, staying here any longer would seem like you’re taking advantage,"

Song Ying was the woman he had his eye on, how could he let others talk about her behind her back?

"I’ll think about it."

Song Ying said.

Actually, the main reason she lived here was so that she could meet with her older brother and sister-in-law’s family. If she moves out, it might not be as convenient.

Ye Qiu drank two cups of tea.

Finding it boring, he prepared to leave.

Song Ying followed him down, and after getting into Ye Qiu’s car parked at the dorms, Ye Qiu drove away directly outwards.

Ever since Song Ying took charge of Ye Qiu’s big translation company, she hadn’t been out to play for quite a long time.

In fact, Ye Qiu had mostly been around Jinling by now.

He didn’t find any place particularly interesting.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere."

Song Ying said.

Since that’s the case, Ye Qiu didn’t mind where to go, and drove directly towards the suburbs.

As they drove farther and farther from Jinling City’s downtown, they saw fewer cars, but the roadside trees appeared very beautiful.

Jinling is a city with distinct seasons, now entering autumn, the leaves of those trees were either red or yellow, and they wouldn’t be falling in large sheets yet as the cold hadn’t come.

Ye Qiu stopped the car by the roadside, and when Song Ying and he got out of the car, Song Ying didn’t expect this suburb to have such nice scenery; it was indeed quite good here.

"It’s so beautiful, it’s been a long time since I’ve breathed such fresh air."

Although Jinling City’s smog wasn’t too serious, the air certainly wasn’t as good as in places like the suburbs.

Song Ying pulled Ye Qiu along the path down, feeling that she really hadn’t been to this side before.

"How do you feel?"

"Very quiet, I really like places like this."

This was more or less related to Song Ying’s personality.

"The class cadres are planning an autumn outing, they asked me where to go and play?"

Autumn outing?

Song Ying remembered when she was a freshman being the homeroom teacher of Ye Qiu’s class; now she felt envious of those students?

"Remember to call me when you’re going."

Song Ying still had some feelings for Ye Qiu’s classmates.

After all, the age difference didn’t seem too much among everyone.

The two of them chatted while walking.

After walking for half an hour, Ye Qiu heard the sound of a stream and looking up saw large patches of fiery red maple leaves.

Where was this place?

He could only take out his phone to check the map.

Of course, this wasn’t Jiangbei, but on the west side of Jinling.

Looking at the map, it really was close to Jiangzhou already.

"This place is great, we could come here for the autumn outing,"

Song Ying said.

"This place is really nice."

...

Almost lunchtime, Ye Qiu and Song Ying drove back to the city; Ye Qiu planned to take Song Ying to eat and then send her back to school.

They found a fancy restaurant outside, had lunch, and after sending Song Ying back to Jin University,

Liu Lingxiu and Su Luoluo at Jin University naturally heard about Ye Qiu’s return, but Ye Qiu didn’t go to look for them.

After sending Song Ying back, Ye Qiu also drove back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

On returning to the villa, Xiaomai was still at home.

However, Xiaomai was preparing to go to Ye Family Village with Ye Weidong and Ye Xue.

Ye Qiu went upstairs to play games in his room.

Almost in the afternoon, his phone rang; it was Zhao Ruxue calling.

"Ruxue, was there something?"

"There’s something," that side, Zhao Ruxue said.

She hadn’t seen Ye Qiu for a long time.

Although Ye Qiu had taken all her benefits,

she didn’t expect that during this time, Ye Qiu would seem to have disappeared.

"At the City Police Bureau waiting for you?"

"Come over."

Ye Qiu went downstairs, while Xiaomai was about to buy groceries for dinner; hearing Ye Qiu was going out and won’t be home for dinner, it’d just be her and Lin Xiang left.

Ye Qiu headed towards the City Police Bureau.

Upon arriving inside the City Police Bureau and parking, he went to Zhao Ruxue’s office.

When he entered inside, Ye Qiu noticed that Zhao Ruxue had lost quite a bit of weight.

Why had Zhao Ruxue become so skinny?

"Are you pulling all-nighters?"

"Where the hell did you go?"

"America, just got back."

No need to say it, surely it was for treating people again.

"Come over here."

Sitting by the computer desk, Zhao Ruxue called him over.

Ye Qiu leaned over and, hugging Zhao Ruxue, she said, "Look at these photos, what’s going on with them?"

Ye Qiu took them and saw they were color photos, but the people in these photos looked terrifying.

They were shriveled corpses.

Just mummies.

"Aren’t these just mummies?"

"Exactly, several such bodies have appeared in Jinling, and the dead were all fine before."

Zhao Ruxue remembered seeing those living corpses with Ye Qiu before and now found it strange why there’d be such mummies?

Currently, the higher-ups want the criminal police team to solve the case quickly, but the team doesn’t have any leads.

"This doesn’t look like the work of ordinary humans?"

If it was human-made, why would someone dry bodies into mummies?

Ye Qiu found it hard to understand.

However, he knew the world wasn’t as simple as it seemed; although things like so-called witchcraft and Witch Gu might look ordinary, they can still be very harmful to ordinary people.

If it were witchcraft wizards, the two criminals from last time,

Ye Qiu had already taken their lives; they must be dead in Miaojiang, or they died in Jinling.

Of course, they’re dead, but it doesn’t mean there are no other wizards.

On the contrary, there might be even more powerful ones.

Now looking at these color photos, these mummies seemed like, alive, they didn’t have a drop of blood and ended up this way.

"Do you think it might have been drained by some animal?" Zhao Ruxue asked.

"Then what kind of animal do you think drinks blood? And then also turns the corpse like this?"

There are many blood-sucking animals, like leeches and mosquitoes, but they shouldn’t be enough to turn a normal person this way.

"We don’t know either, and the forensic examination didn’t find anything."

"Give me all the detailed information about them, I’ll take a look."

Zhao Ruxue hurried to find all the information about the deceased, including their native place, date of birth, workplace, family situation, relatives, etc.
