Chapter 532 - Peach Blossom Tao Xian (21) (1/2)
The butterfly demon died in that detention room.
There was only one person on duty in the office last night. He didn't know how the butterfly demon died, and he never left the company.
The man on duty said it himself.
According to the monitor video, the person on duty indeed didn't leave the office, but the video also showed that he went to the washroom and stayed there for a full 15 minutes.
”I went to answer my girlfriend's phone, just left for 15 minutes, and there was no suspicious person appear in it. When I came out, the butterfly demon was still alive,” he defended himself.
”Do you need to go to the washroom to answer your girlfriend's phone?” The whole office was empty, even if he wanted to say something nasty, no one was going to check out the video the next day.
The man was a little embarrassed, ”Well…”
He explained haltingly that he listened to his girlfriend's voice and did a hand job for himself…
Everyone looked at him meaningfully now.
”I was afraid that something might happen, so I came out 15 minutes later!” The man blushed to justify himself.
Hua Jian raised his hand and signaled them to be quiet. ”Watch the surveillance again. Others get out first, and keep it to yourselves.”
The people present were all from the field department. Since Hua Jian gave the order, they were silent then, but were a little worried in the bottom of their hearts. If other evil spirits knew that the butterfly demon died here, it may cause their panic and aversion.
The surveillance didn't show anything new. If the surveillance didn't show any sign of human, then it's probably done by the demon.
However, on this floor was set with the globe of invulnerability. If anyone who didn't know how to enter or any evil spirit forcibly broke in, the globe of invulnerability would be triggered and the man on duty must knew.
Yet the man said everything was normal at that time and nothing ever triggered the globe of invulnerability.
Hua Jian asked Ming Shu to check the crime scene and see if she can find any clue. She was a demon, so she could see more things than them.
There were not many things in the detention house. Ming Shu had examined the room when she came last time. While at this time, the butterfly demon's body had been taken away and the room was empty.
”Did you find anything?” Hua Jian leaned on the door in a slightly relaxed posture, which meant that he was undefended to her.
Ming Shu strode out, ”It's very clean.”
Too clean. The butterfly demon was also an evil spirit, and she had been locked here for so long, but now Ming Shu didn't feel even a trace of demon aura. It seemed that the place had been specially cleaned up.
Hua Jian understood what Ming Shu was meaning.
”What's so special about this butterfly demon?”
Hua Jian looked at Ming Shu and said calmly after a few seconds, ”The phoenix-spirit butterfly is a kind of very special demon, they have the ability to enchant others and make the prey fall into the set-up illusion. They don't have strong combat ability so they often choose to depend on some big demons to survive.”
”But it's very difficult for the phoenix-spirit butterfly to reproduce, so the species has almost become extinct. The last record about them is 14 years ago… at the crime scene of my father.”
Ming Shu then understood, ”So you suspect it has something to do with your father's death?”
”A thing that's extremely rare suddenly appeared, won't you suspect it?”
But now she died.
Someone silenced her.
The phoenix-spirit butterfly said she escaped from some place.
All of these storylines were in a muddle. You couldn't find where they started from and didn't know how to begin the investigation.
I'd better go back and inherit the throne.

Ming Shu left the Evil Spirit Office and contacted Little Beastie to know where it was now, then she went to join it.
The round hairy ball swept all over the surrounding areas with Little Beastie and it had gathered several big demons. Right now they were on the Jingshan Mountain.
Seeing Ming Shu appear, Little Beastie rolled over to her quickly.
Poop-picker, a complete Manchu-Han banquet, Manchu-Han banquet, Manchu-Han banquet!
