Chapter 516: Boss, Help!
While Beitang Lie was checking out the second bedroom, Chi Jiao entered the master bedroom.
Even though so much time had passed since the murder, the magnetic field in the master bedroom remained unchanged. However, after Chi Jiao pressed the light switch on the wall, she did not see any bloodstains in the room.
At that time, professionals had come to investigate the case. The bedsheets that were stained with blood had long been taken away as evidence.
Not only that, but traces of other people having lived in this room could also be seen. The sheets had clearly been changed just a few days ago. She could smell the faint fragrance of detergent in the air as she approached the bed.
Chi Jiao carefully surveyed the room. She was almost certain that this was the room where Zhen Xiaoqing and the mysterious black-robed man did their joint cultivation.
After confirming this, she couldn’t help smacking her lips.
Joint cultivation at a crime scene was something Chi Jiao had never seen before. It was truly hardcore.
Nevertheless, the Soul Stone would be extremely effective in such a twisted magnetic field environment. It was no wonder that Zhen Xiaoqing had performed the joint cultivation for only a week before her second superpower emerged.
Chi Jiao was somewhat puzzled by this thought.
Joint cultivation was a mutually beneficial exercise. Zhen Xiaoqing had obtained her second ability through it. What benefits did the black-robed man obtain from this, then?
Chi Jiao suspected that Zhen Xiaoqing was probably not the only person with whom this man had performed joint cultivation before.
While she was pondering this, Chi Jiao was also rummaging through the things in the master bedroom, trying to find some clues.
As she was rummaging through the wardrobe, she suddenly heard a faint rustling sound behind her.
The strange sound was especially sinister in the quiet room. It was like the sound of scales rubbing against the ground when a reptile twisted its body.
Alarmed, Chi Jiao reached out and retrieved a black leather notebook from the corner of the closet. Then, she immediately turned around and looked behind her.
However, just as Chi Jiao turned around, the rustling sound suddenly disappeared. The air returned to normal. The room was quiet as if everything was just Chi Jiao’s imagination.
However, she was certain that her instincts were right. She walked to the bed and heard a rustling sound.
However, it was even softer than the previous time. If not for Chi Jiao’s extraordinary hearing ability, she wouldn’t have heard it at all.
For a moment there, Chi Jiao couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from.
She thought for a while and finally squatted down. She lifted the bedsheet nervously and looked under the bed.
Fortunately, there was nothing there.
Before Chi Jiao could heave a sigh of relief, Beitang Lie’s sharp cries rang out from the second bedroom.
“Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Boss, save me!” Beitang Lie was so frightened that he kept jumping around and banging on the door.
Chi Jiao couldn’t help panicking when she heard his screams. She quickly rushed out of the master bedroom and ran to the door of the second bedroom.
It was also at this moment that the panicked Beitang Lie finally opened the door and rushed out.
“Boohoo, Boss!” Beitang Lie broke down and cried out loudly. He spread his arms wide, wanting to hug her like a bear for a sense of security.
Chi Jiao looked at him. He was so frightened that his face had turned pale. Disdain appeared in her eyes as she dodged Beitang Lie’s bear hug.
