The next morning, at a ramen shop on West Lake Street near the wooden house.
"Boss, we are police officers. Please cooperate with us," Li Yanqiu and Han Li entered the shop and showed their badges.
"Sure, what do you need help with?" The shop owner, a middle-aged man, quickly approached them.
"On the night of the 19th, did you see a young person carrying a suitcase pass by here?" Li Yanqiu asked.
"The 19th..." The shop owner frowned in thought. "I think there was such a person. I found it strange that someone would be out carrying a suitcase so late at night."
"Did your store's surveillance capture him?" Li Yanqiu asked eagerly.
"It should have; we have no blind spots here," the shop owner nodded.
"Great! Can you pull up the surveillance footage for us to take a look?" Li Yanqiu asked.
"Of course." The shop owner nodded and then operated the computer to bring up the surveillance video.
Li Yanqiu and Han Li focused on the computer screen and indeed found footage of Yan Jien leaving while carrying a suitcase.
"It really is him," Li Yanqiu said, his expression tightening.
"Copy this segment of the footage," Li Yanqiu instructed as he turned around.
"Understood." Han Li took out a USB drive and copied the video onto it.
"Officer, has this person done something bad?" the shop owner asked curiously.
"We're just trying to understand the situation. We aren't sure if he has done anything wrong," Li Yanqiu replied.
"Oh." The shop owner nodded and didn't ask further questions.
"Boss, please don't disclose our visit to retrieve the surveillance footage," Li Yanqiu reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything," the shop owner assured them with a nod.
"Alright, then we'll be on our way," Li Yanqiu said as he cupped his hands in thanks and left the ramen shop with Han Li.
"Team Leader Li, see? I wasn't wrong. That Yan Jien was definitely suspicious carrying a suitcase late at night," Han Li said excitedly.
"Mm." Li Yanqiu nodded but didn't show much joy on his face.
"Team Leader Li, why do you look unhappy?" Han Li asked in confusion.
"I just find it strange that so many mice in the wooden house suddenly disappeared overnight," Li Yanqiu frowned.
"Yeah, this is really odd," Han Li scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
"Let's go back and talk about it," Li Yanqiu waved his hand.
"Okay," Han Li nodded.
At Deng Kaiwen's home, Deng Kaiwen was working on design drawings on his computer.
"Dad, come quick, Mom hit me again," Deng Xiaoqiang ran over with a handprint on his cheek.
"Why did your mom hit you?" Deng Kaiwen asked with a frown.
"I... I spilled her skincare products," Deng Xiaoqiang stammered.
"Why would you do that?" Deng Kaiwen said angrily.
"Because she wouldn't let me play on my phone," Deng Xiaoqiang replied, feeling wronged.
"You..." Deng Kaiwen raised his hand in anger but eventually sighed, "You can't play with your phone recklessly anymore, understand?"
"Okay," Deng Xiaoqiang lowered his head.
"Alright, hurry up and do your homework," Deng Kaiwen waved his hand.
"Mm," Deng Xiaoqiang responded and ran back to his room.
Deng Kaiwen sighed and continued working on his design drawings.
After finishing several sets of push-ups, Yan Jien went to take a shower.
After showering, Yan Jien planned to go to sleep, but he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep at all.
"Damn it, the urge to pee is back."
Yan Jien frowned.
He tried to relieve himself a little while lying in bed to see if it would help.
But it didn't work at all.
"Forget it, I'll just go outside and find a place to pee."
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Jien decided to go out.
So, Yan Jien put on his slippers and stepped outside.
It was one o'clock in the morning, and the streets were quiet. Yan Jien followed his instincts, taking his usual route and stopping to urinate every so often. Finally, he finished relieving himself under a large banyan tree near the company. After the release, Yan Jien felt completely refreshed, as if his soul was soaring.
"Ah!" He exhaled, a smile spreading across his face. He shook himself off and turned to head back to his wooden house.
For some reason, as he turned around, Yan Jien suddenly felt a sense of danger.
"Hmm?" He stopped in his tracks and looked around.
It was empty; there was nothing there.
"Am I being paranoid?" Yan Jien frowned.
Yet, that feeling of unease persisted and grew stronger.
"No, something is definitely wrong."
Yan Jien closed his eyes and focused intently.
The next moment, he opened his eyes and glanced toward a small alley on his left. There, a stray dog was staring at him.
"So it's just this dog," Yan Jien realized.
He fixed his gaze on the dog and walked toward it. The dog sensed the threat and slowly backed away.
"Get lost!" Yan Jien shouted coldly.
The dog was startled and turned to run away. Watching it flee, a cold smirk appeared on Yan Jien's lips.
"A mere stray dog dares to provoke me."
However, very soon, Yan Jien's expression changed. He felt his teeth and finger bones starting to itch again.
"Not again!" Yan Jien exclaimed in shock. He had originally thought that as long as he controlled his emotions, he wouldn't mutate again. Now it seemed he was wrong.
"Crack, crack!" Yan Jien's teeth and finger bones continued to squirm, making a piercing sound.
"Ah!" Yan Jien covered his mouth, sweating profusely from the pain.
A few minutes later, the pain gradually subsided. Yan Jien opened his mouth and discovered that he hadn't grown fangs; instead, they had become much sharper, resembling those of a Wolf Tooth Club. He flexed his fingers and found that his finger bones had grown an inch, sharp as blades.
"Fortunately, I didn't turn into a werewolf," Yan Jien sighed in relief. He moved around a bit and realized there was no significant impact, which put him at ease.
Yan Jien didn't linger and quickly returned to the wooden house. When he arrived at an alley behind the wooden house, he noticed a yellow-haired mutt standing under the dim streetlight, lifting its leg to urinate. That spot was exactly where he had urinated before.
"Damn it, is my exclusive toilet being taken?" Yan Jien was instantly furious. He rushed over and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The yellow-haired mutt was startled and ran away with its tail between its legs.
"Hmph, daring to steal my toilet? You must be tired of living," a sense of pride as a victor rose within Yan Jien.
