Chapter 86 Deadlock
"Grandpa Zhou, do you still have the same rice you had before?"

"what happened?"

"I just thought that maybe I could lure out the bad guys through that rice."

Grandpa Zhou was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed and he became excited, "Yes, that damn bastard, I will catch him even if it costs me my life!"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" A middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walked over.

Grandpa Zhou immediately grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and said, "Xuzi, do you still have that rice?"

"Rice?"

"It's the rice you gave me before, the rice I told you was stolen!"

"Oh, Dad, don't get excited. Yes, yes, I still have that rice." The middle-aged man held the old man's hand and supported him.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Others gathered around, and even Grandma Zhou looked puzzled, "Old man, what are you doing?"

Grandpa Zhou ignored the others and just kept muttering, "It's good to have it, it's good to have it."

……

After Xiao Xiao's reminder, everyone quickly remembered that there was another way to catch the criminal.

Although some people have raised the question of what if the two cases were not committed by the same person?

However, as the investigation has made no progress so far, the police have adopted this method and made complete deployment.

Of course, Xiao Xiao cannot participate in these.

However, Xiao Xiao picked up a small bag and got what he wanted.

As for the police, there is no doubt that it will be a waste of time, unless there is someone among the police who can see monsters.

If this is the case, it would be better. This matter of punishing evil should be left to professionals.

Otherwise, he will have to take over.

Thinking of this, the little figure wrapped in bandages flashed through his mind, as well as the much older faces of the Zhou family's grandparents who had always been kind to him, especially the self-blame and regret in their eyes which were so shocking.

Xiao Xiao tightened his grip on the rope of the rice bag.

This small bag of rice is the best bait.

……

Things developed just as Xiao Xiao had expected. The police were easily attracted by the sudden fire around them. After putting out the fire, they came to their senses and looked at the rice cabinet again, but it was empty.

The police are already considering the possibility that multiple people committed the crime.

However, even if multiple people committed the crime, investigators have no idea how the criminals could have committed arson and stolen rice in full view of so many people.

How is it possible that there was no sign or movement at all? !

And the camera didn’t capture anything?!

The investigation is shrouded in mystery.

……

Because they committed arson and stole rice openly in front of you, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but answer in his heart after hearing the latest developments in the case.

This is really cheating. You can't even see it, so how can you talk about discovery and arrest?

Well, let him make things fair.

"Now, Philip, let's catch this evil monster."

"Coffee~"

……

It was late at night and the moonlight was so dim that it was almost non-existent.

Xiao Xiao waited quietly.

He had quietly placed the small bag of rice on the windowsill of Grandpa Zhou's house.

Originally he wanted to let Feifei go, but he was a little worried that Feifei's evil spirit would scare away the timid monster.

Xiao Xiao thought about it later and realized that it might be because of Feifei that the mouse turned around and ran away?

What a coward.

Although it looks like a mouse...

The night grew darker and darker, and everything was silent.

Xiao Xiao's breathing became lighter and lighter, and his eyes were fixed on the windowsill on the fourth floor without blinking.

He hid behind a big tree next to the flower bed downstairs, and could clearly see what was happening on the windowsill on the fourth floor diagonally opposite.

The mouth of the small bag of rice was loose, and the faint fragrance of rice wafted out. Under the dark curtains, there was a darker shadow.

That is?

Here it comes! Xiao Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The black mass that stepped out of the shadows gradually revealed its purple-red hair.

The faint spark of fire was shining brightly.

Because it was too unexpected and the police suddenly interrupted him, Xiao Xiao didn't have time to check the monster's information.

This time, Xiao Xiao stared at the unaware monster and communicated with the demon in his heart.

The Fire Rat, also known as the Fire Beast, likes to eat rice and has a huge appetite.

He is timid and very vigilant.

They are also as fast as lightning and will flee at the slightest sign of trouble, so they are extremely difficult to catch.

Of course, the last sentence is Xiao Xiao’s own summary.

So he became more cautious.

Xiao Xiao signaled Feifei, and they surrounded the enemy from two directions.

The fire rat ate very quickly and the rice bag was empty in just a few seconds.

After enjoying the meal, the fire rat lost some of its vigilance.

"Ghost Owl!"

The fire rat was about to run away when he heard the sound, but his eyes suddenly became blurry.

The action of escaping naturally stopped.

The Fire Rat squatted there in a daze, turning his head slowly.

good chance!
Xiao Xiao took out a bag and covered the dazed fire rat.

The fire rat was suddenly freed from the influence of the ghost owl's cry, and the flame on its tail suddenly grew bigger. The scattered sparks instantly burned the bag to ashes.

"Ji~" In anger, the sound made by the fire rat was a little distorted, and the shrill cry was as harsh as a woman's long nails scratching on the glass.

Even so, the Fire Rat's first reaction was to turn around and run.

"Fei Fei~" Fei Fei bent down and let out a threatening growl.

The ghost owl silently blocked the way to the other side, and the faint ghost fire flickered.

"Unfortunately, you have no way to escape." Xiao Xiao's lips curled slightly, but his eyes were cold.

……

"Squeak~" The fire rat saw that the situation was not right, "Boom!" In addition to the flame on its tail, hot flames also appeared on its body.

The temperature was so high that it seemed as if even the air was about to be ignited.

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, but it would be useless even if you could spit fire.

"Gu carving!"

A huge black shadow loomed over the Fire Rat's head.

"Jie~" The Gu Diao swooped down, bringing up a whistling strong wind, and attacked the Fire Rat.

The fire rat was so agile and quick as lightning that the Gu Diao was unable to do anything to it for a while.

In a head-on confrontation, ten fire rats are no match for one Gu Diao.

However, the Fire Rat relied on its own speed and did not fight the Gu Eagle head-on. It just wandered around it, not letting the Gu Eagle touch it at all.

Gu Diao was so angry that he almost exploded!
"Ghost owl, use your cry to confuse the fire rat."

……

The Fire Rat was no longer as comfortable as it was at the beginning.

On the one hand, it had to avoid the fierce attack of the Gu Diao, on the other hand, it had to stay awake and not be distracted by the cry of the Ghost Owl.

Whenever it was about to dodge the attack of the Gu Diao, the cry of the Ghost Owl followed like a shadow, and its movements would inevitably pause.

Because of this flaw that lasted less than a moment, the Fire Rat could no longer avoid all the attacks of the Gu Diao as perfectly as before.

Even so, Xiao Xiao's side did not gain any advantage.

Because the high temperature of the fire rat's body was a big problem, the Gu Diao, which underestimated its enemy at first and got scalded once, had its claws suddenly turned black and a trace of pain quickly passed through its eyes.

The next attack by the Gu Diao will inevitably be a bit cautious.

Even though the Fire Rat was affected by the Ghost Owl's cry and its movements were always a beat slower, making it basically a living target, the flames all over its body made it impossible for the Gu Eagle to touch it easily.
