"He's got an aura of yaoguai about him."
Meng Jixi blurted out.
"If he's got an aura of yaoguai about him, why did you want to stop him?"
Xiao Xiao continued.
"..."
Meng Jixi opened his mouth.
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Why...
Chi Xiuke and Chi Xiuchuan were also stunned.
Like Meng Jixi, when they heard Master Xiao say that the man had an aura of yaoguai about him, their first thought was to stop him.
As for why... what they would do after stopping him...
They hadn't considered it at all.

Meng Jixi's mind raced. "He..."
His eyes suddenly lit up. "Could he have something to do with Li Wei?"

Meng Jixi murmured under his breath.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"That's all speculation."
Xiao Xiao's words doused Meng Jixi like a bucket of cold water.

"Tsk!"
He clicked his tongue in frustration.
What a pain.
"So we're just going to let him go?"
Meng Jixi asked unwillingly.
What if the man really did have something to do with Li Wei?
Wouldn't they be letting a lead that could be crucial to solving the case slip away?
His eyes suddenly lit up. "Why am I overthinking this?"
"I can just ask him if he knows Li Wei."
As he spoke,
