Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Gray Zone_1
The next day, Qin Sisi bid farewell to Lin Xiaoyu.
The next goal was the location of Mrs. Wang Luo’s husband.
As Mother Lin’s health had not fully recovered, Lin Xiaoyu planned to stay at ho for a few more days and could not travel with Qin Sisi. Although he felt reluctant, he convinced himself to accept the reality.
Ignoring Qin Sisi’s repeated refusals, Lin Xiaofang insisted on packing a bag of local products for her.
Unable to reject the kindness, Qin Sisi grudgingly accepted and planned to have Ye You put it in his Portable Space after she left.
Carrying the bag of local products, Lin Xiaoyu sent Qin Sisi to the train.
Qin Sisi looked back at Lin Xiaoyu and smiled warmly, saying, "I’m leaving, go back, goodbye."
Lin Xiaoyu wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a word and just waved towards Qin Sisi with a sense of lancholy.
The sa as when she ca, Qin Sisi put Ye You inside her clothes. After settling into her seat, she quietly asked Ye You to put the bag into his Portable Space while it was still chaotic around them.
Ye You was reluctant and replied, "I can put it in, but if it spoils on the way, I’ll throw it out imdiately."
Just as Qin Sisi was about to say sothing, a passenger next to her looked around in confusion and muttered, "Why does it sound like a cat owing?"
Qin Sisi was startled and imdiately pulled out her phone to play a video about cats.
When the cat ow ca out again, the passenger’s gaze lingered on Qin Sisi’s phone for a few seconds, and all doubts were dispelled.
Qin Sisi secretly breathed a sigh of relief but did not dare communicate with Ye You anymore. Instead, she gently patted her slightly bulging abdon.
Le Xin is a prefecture-level city in a certain province, with not a very large urban area.
Following the address given by Lan Di, Qin Sisi arrived at a nursing ho nad "The Sunset".
Its size was dium with many elderly people and workers residing, thus everyone who entered had to register.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Qin Sisi decided to sneak into the nursing ho late at night, let Mrs. Wang Luo have a brief look at her husband in a previous life, without staying too long after communicating with her.
Qin Sisi found a nearby hotel to stay in, taking a hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.
Then, they discussed Bai Xue’s matters.
Approaching midnight, Ye You let Bai Xue’s ghost out from his Portable Space, and Qin Sisi asked her so questions about Shi Yan, such as his birthday, age, identity card number, graduating school, and his workplace.
As his forr lover, Bai Xue was naturally very clear about these matters but she couldn’t recall Shi Yan’s exact birthdate.
After asking all the necessary questions, Ye You put Bai Xue’s ghost back into the Portable Space again.
Qin Sisi asked Ye You, "Should we let Lan Di help again?"
Ye You shook his head and said, "Without complete birth details, I’m afraid it may be hard to search in the underworld."
Qin Sisi frowned and said, "That could be a bit of a problem because all this information is from ten years ago. We don’t know if he changed workplaces or moved elsewhere."
Ye You pondered for a few minutes and asked, "In the Demon Sacred Realm, there are guilds which help find people for a fee. I wonder if such organizations exist in the Human World?"
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "For normal cases, we could seek help from the police or the dia. However, our case doesn’t appear to be in the normal category."
The police could help find family mbers, the dia could help find benefactors or friends, but there was never a case of publicly seeking enemies.
Ye You understood what Qin Sisi ant and continued, "The world isn’t just black and white. There are also many grey areas in-between."
Qin Sisi paused for a mont and quickly caught on, "Private investigators? This profession indeed exists, but it’s not generally recognized by the law."
Ye You said, "Let’s give it a try."
Qin Sisi nodded, found a private detective agency online, and communicated with the staff there. They assured her they could definitely help find the person she wanted.
Qin Sisi negotiated the fee with the staff, paid half upfront, and sent all the information she knew about Shi Yan. They promised they would have results within a week at the most.
After all of this, it was close to two in the morning.
Qin Sisi put on the black cloak that Ye You had given her for warmth, took a deep breath, and opened the window of her room. Her room was on the second floor. Looking out, apart from the street lights on the main road, most areas were in darkness.
Ye You once again sat on Qin Sisi’s shoulder. His purple eyes were deeply cold. He waved his paw and an Invisible Bubble silently enveloped them.
Qin Sisi summoned the Wings of Rainbow and flew towards The Sunset’s nursing ho.
The Sunset’s nursing ho wasn’t far from the hotel where Qin Sisi was staying. It only took her a few minutes to reach her destination.
Qin Sisi slowly retracted the Wings of Rainbow and landed in front of the residential building of the elderly. Although she knew it was empty at this ti, she still looked around cautiously before entering the building.
The first room was a security room with a guard resting inside. Qin Sisi tried to turn the doorknob, but the door was locked from the inside. She let her hand drop and raised her eyebrows at Ye You.
Ye You blinked, and a faint purple light flashed out, followed by a soft click.
"It’s done," Ye You said.
Qin Sisi gave Ye You a knowing smile. Even though she had seen Ye You’s lock-picking skills a few tis, she still thought it was cool.
Slowly pushing the door open, Qin Sisi went inside. There was indeed a person sleeping on the bed, but they seed to be in a deep sleep, unfazed by Qin Sisi’s entrance.
With the protection of the Invisible Bubble, Qin Sisi did not have to worry about being discovered. She walked straight to the desk, opened the register, and started looking for the na of Mrs. Wang Luo’s husband - Wang Longhe.
Ye You lit up the Ziwei Heaven Fire to illuminate for Qin Sisi. Under the faint firelight, she frowned slightly, concentrating on flipping through the register.
Ye You’s gaze fell on Qin Sisi, watching her intently focused appearance, his eyes unconsciously softened.
After flipping through a few pages, Qin Sisi successfully found Wang Longhe’s na and the room he was staying in.
"Let’s go."
Qin Sisi said softly and left the security room, taking the stairs to the second floor.
At the entrance of room 207, Qin Sisi stopped, listened for a while, and when she heard no sound, she slowly pushed the door open.
