Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 6 Special Sciences

A few minutes later, the police officers questioning Bai Chi changed from the aggressive young officer to two kind-looking senior officers. They were also ordinary police officers dispatched from other districts, and their attitude towards Bai Chi was naturally much better.

"You mean the only fatal wound you inflicted on the criminal Liang Rong was the gunshot wound to his forehead, and his chest injury had nothing to do with you?" the old policeman asked. "You didn't even know he was seriously injured, and that he was already in that state when you encountered him?"

Bai Chi nodded.

This was naturally the explanation he had prepared in advance. After all, Liang Rong's chest was pierced by him in his knight form, which was difficult to explain. So he simply claimed to be unaware of it, making the police believe that Liang Rong's heart had already been crushed before he met him.

This is not impossible. You know, some special individuals can still keep going for a while even after losing their heads. It is entirely plausible that Liang Rong could still fight even with his heart shattered.

After all, in reality, Liang Rong didn't die immediately after his heart was destroyed. He managed to say a few words to Bai Chi before being shot dead by him. So no one would think that Bai Chi was lying about this.

This explanation not only conceals Bai Chi's identity as a knight, but also makes sense of how "an ordinary policeman defeated a third-tier special being." After all, the third-tier special being had already lost his heart before the battle, which is quite reasonable.

Sure enough, after listening to Bai Chi's explanation, the two veteran police officers exchanged a glance and then simultaneously revealed expressions of envy.

Clearly, in their view, Bai Chi had gotten a huge stroke of luck and managed to claim the credit for himself.

"Then there's one last question," the older policeman asked, "Do you know who laid a hand on Liang Rong?"

Bai Chi shook his head.

"You didn't see anyone suspicious either?"

"No."

“Alright, then we have no further questions.” The old policeman closed his notebook and extended his hand to Bai Chi. “In any case, you were the one who ultimately killed the criminal, so I think I should congratulate you in advance.”

"why?"

"Huh? You didn't know?" The veteran policeman was somewhat surprised. "At this time yesterday, headquarters issued an internal notice stating that, given the extremely serious harm caused by the criminal Liang Rong, any police officer who successfully apprehends or kills him will be awarded a first-class merit and promoted three ranks. Didn't your superiors tell you?"

Bai Chi shook his head.

"Well, I can understand that," the veteran policeman said with a smile. "After all, no one would expect this credit to fall on us ordinary officers, right?"

As he spoke, he gave Bai Chi a look, signaling Bai Chi to look outside the room.

Standing outside the room was the same New District police officer who had interrogated Bai Chi as a criminal earlier, and next to him stood an even younger officer with squinty eyes.

The officer's armband read—Special Science.

……

The questioning was essentially over at that point, but the police's work wasn't finished, because they still hadn't found the person who had truly seriously injured Liang Rong. Although the police didn't know where this unexpected attacker had come from or why he had attacked Liang Rong.

Although they found it suspicious, the police did not suspect that Bai Chi was lying, after all, Bai Chi was not a special person (in their eyes), and ordinary people could not possibly defeat special people.

So they had to return to the scene of the crime to continue searching for the suspect. Although everyone knew that after so much time, there was little chance of finding him, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

So the police officers from other branches left one after another, leaving only Bai Chi's real colleagues. But they didn't come up to talk to Bai Chi, nor did they congratulate him like the old police officers had done before. They just looked at Bai Chi with an extremely complicated look, a look that was tinged with dissatisfaction.

Clearly, they were not very accepting of Bai Chi's inexplicable act of going it alone and then making a contribution.

But Bai Chi didn't care, or rather, he didn't even realize it. At this moment, all he could think about was Liu Li Hui, and that body filled with holy light. Liu Li Hui had only loosened her grip slightly, not even lowered it yet, and she had already achieved a 40% synchronization rate, then kicked Liang Rong, a third-tier special being, to pieces.

If Ruri-e were to reveal even more of her power, what a sight that would be!

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

It's so tempting, so incredibly tempting.

As he savored that power, the usually stern Bai Chi couldn't help but smile.

He couldn't wait to go back and discuss the mysteries of fusion with Ruri-e.

"Uh, Senior Bai Chi?"

A timid female voice woke Bai Chi from his thoughts. He turned his head and found it was Xia Tian.

"what happened?"

"I... I want to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

"Yes, yes." Xia Tian was a little nervous. After taking two deep breaths, she suddenly bowed deeply. "I thought you really had skipped work and gone home. I didn't expect you to be chasing criminals too. I'm so sorry, I was being suspicious of you. Please forgive me!"

“Oh, that’s it,” Bai Chi said. “I did go home.”

"Huh?" Xia Tian was taken aback. "Weren't you out chasing after a criminal?"

“No, I just encountered the criminal on my way home,” Bai Chi said. “Because my home is in Happiness Alley.”

Summer was dumbfounded. After a long pause, she stammered, "So, you killed the criminal on your way home?"

Bai Chi nodded.

On the surface, he was just an ordinary policeman without any special abilities. It was suspicious no matter how you looked at it that an ordinary policeman would break away from the main group to hunt down a criminal with special abilities.

So Bai Chi needed to cover himself up a bit... Of course, he wasn't exactly lying to Xia Tian, ​​because he did go home first and then went to find Liang Rong.

However, this explanation left Xia Tian feeling somewhat confused.

At first, she thought Bai Chi was just a withdrawn and irresponsible weirdo; later, after learning that he had killed the criminal, she thought he was just not good at talking and was still a good policeman at heart; but now, in her eyes, he has become a... "lucky guy".
But before she could figure it out, she saw Bai Chi starting to pack his things, and instinctively asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go home."

...Back again?!

Xia Tian was at a loss for words, but Bai Chi made no attempt to explain. Under the watchful eyes of his colleagues, he calmly left the police station.

But to his surprise, there was another person waiting for him outside the police station.

"Hello," the young police officer with squinty eyes said with a smile. "My name is Chung-ki, and I'm from the Special Affairs Department."
