Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Seeing Xian Qianling Again_1

You stood up and walked into the yard.

Seeing no one around, you pressed your index finger on the screen of the electronic watch, and soon the watch emitted a blue light, as the holographic image of the beautiful woman appeared above it again.

You looked at her and joked, "Beautiful lady, looking for me at this time, you’re not asking me out for dinner, are you?"

The woman smiled faintly, "There’s an assignment for you, will you take it?"

"What assignment?"

"A high school student died mysteriously during evening self-study, and according to the clear reports from below, it should be the work of a Ghost Infant."

"Ghost Infant?" You frowned instinctively, naturally linking this matter to Liu Chao.

"Why me?"

Although you were certain in your mind to go, you still wanted to ask for clarity before leaving.

"All the other team members are already on assignments, and the captain specifically named you for this task."

"Alright, I’ll take on the assignment."

The woman smiled sweetly, "Good, I’ll send you the details right away."

After speaking, the holographic image of the woman disappeared, revealing a three-dimensional image of the assignment document.

The assignment information was as follows:

Level Two Assignment, investigate and deal with the high school Ghost Infant murder case.

Reward: 100 Points.

You poked the end of the assignment document with your index finger, which formally accepted the assignment.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

At that moment, Liu Chao rushed out from inside the house in a panic!

"What happened?"

Your instincts were usually spot-on, and judging by Liu Chao’s expression, you immediately guessed something must have happened to Liu Chao’s son.

Indeed, according to what Liu Chao said, the police had called to say that his son was involved in a campus murder case and was now under police control.

"Don’t worry, let’s go to the police station right now."

Afterward, you and Liu Chao hurriedly drove to the police station.

When you and Liu Chao pushed open the wooden door of the office, Liu Chao rushed in, hugging a bespectacled boy who looked rather refined into his arms as protectively as a bull guards its calf.

The moment the boy saw Liu Chao, he too began to cry loudly, releasing all the fear and grievance in his heart at once.

However, behind the office desk, you saw a familiar face.

"What are you doing here?"

The speaker was none other than Xian Qianling, Captain Xian, the very sight of whom gave you a headache!

Trying to maintain a smile, you showed Xian Qianling your watch on your left wrist and said with a smile, "I’ll take on this assignment."

As for your joining Chu Sect, Xian Qianling didn’t seem too surprised, as if it was only natural for you to be there.

"Good, now that you’re involved, it will be much easier to handle." When dealing with serious matters, Xian Qianling was always incredibly decisive and more serious than anyone else.

You nodded and walked over to Liu Chao and his son.

"Officer, my boy has been well-behaved since he was young. He is even afraid to kill a sparrow, let alone a person. He couldn’t have done this!"

Xian Qianling said coldly, "Even if he didn’t kill the person, he can’t be disconnected from the incident. Step aside."

"I..."

Just as Liu Chao was about to speak, you patted his shoulder, smiling, "Don’t worry, I will clear your son’s name."

Technically, you were only a year older than Liu Chao’s son, but your experiences and maturity far surpassed his. In front of him, you already seemed like an adult, capable of handling the affairs of the world.

Without waiting for Liu Chao’s son to speak, you placed your hand on his shoulder. Soon, a series of images flashed before your eyes.

Seeing you let go, Xian Qianling, who knew your abilities, asked, "How is it?"

"Like Captain Xian said, he’s not the murderer, but he’s not free of involvement either."

"This... Master, he doesn’t have anything on him."

Although Liu Chao knew you had abilities beyond ordinary people, it was hard for him to accept that you concluded the fact of his son’s crime in just a few moments.

You smiled and looked down at the high school boy who was no taller than 1.6 meters, "Your name is Liu Dehui, right?"

Liu Dehui looked at you somewhat timidly but still nodded.

"You have a crush on a girl from your class named Liu Yanyan, don’t you?"

Liu Dehui was startled and glanced at Liu Chao before nodding slightly.

"You’ve been in love with her for a year. At the start of sophomore year, you confessed to her." Seeing Liu Dehui nod, you continued, "Liu Yanyan didn’t reject you, but she didn’t accept either. She just set a condition: she wanted you to get into Eastern Sea University with her."

Liu Dehui was also surprised; he hadn’t expected you to know such a private matter. Had Liu Yanyan told the police everything?

As if you saw through his thoughts, you said in a calm tone, "Don’t doubt it; she didn’t tell anyone. I know of this in my own unique way. Afterwards, you studied hard, but your grades always hovered in the upper-middle range. You were still a distance from the Eastern Sea University admission score and, seeing there was only one last push left in high school, you still hadn’t improved, so you decided to resort to cunning tricks."

This time, disregarding Liu Dehui’s reaction, you continued, "At first, you were at your wit’s end, but one day, you invited your best friend, the victim Hong Tao, to your house. By chance, Hong Tao entered your basement and found out about the Ghost Man Tong your parents were keeping. Hong Tao also knew about your secret love for Liu Yanyan, and having a half-baked knowledge about Ghost Man Tong, he suggested that you ask one of them for help with your studies, so you could get into Eastern Sea University."

Liu Dehui slumped into the chair, covered his face with his hands, and started to cry, "If I had known, if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have done it!"

You patted Liu Dehui’s shoulder and sighed, "What’s done is done; regretting it is useless now. What you need to do is tell the truth about the incident, only then can we help you."

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Dehui finally revealed the entire incident.

Just as you knew, Liu Dehui and Hong Tao had invited the Ghost Man Tong out.

According to Liu Dehui, Hong Tao was fond of supernatural novels and had a superficial knowledge on the subject. Because he had read a novel that mentioned human blood could attract Ghost Man Tong, he used his own blood to invite out a Ghost Man Tong from Liu Chao’s house.

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh, "Ah, ignorance is truly deadly. Although Ghost Man Tong are refined by Buddhist Law, they are still ghost infants by nature, whimsical like little children. Without proper constraints, in their ignorance they can do anything. Once the Ghost Man Tong tastes blood, the situation becomes relentless."

Liu Chao anxiously asked his son, "You didn’t feed it blood, did you?"
