Transform into a human

Less than a minute after the alarm sounded, the outside of the evidence storage room was surrounded by police officers who had rushed to the scene. Soon after, Grindelwald Blythe, the chief superintendent of the Star Harbor branch, arrived at the scene.

He stared blankly at the warehouse entrance, where the victim's remains, shattered by the explosion, were even scattered outside the warehouse, a truly horrifying sight.

Falken stepped forward:

"Sir, the other side has a high-level relic that can shield the Crimson Heart."

Bryce didn't ask how he knew, but turned to his assistant and instructed:

"Apply to headquarters to lift the restrictions on the Red Heart in the Star Harbor area."

Most of the police officers with strong combat capabilities follow the path of "divine arrest," which is what Yue Lai calls spies. They are also suppressed by Chi Xin.

The assistant immediately contacted headquarters, and in less than a minute, the red light over Starport gradually dimmed.

Brian charged ahead of the others.

He didn't care whether there were other killers lurking in the shadows—that was the job of the other superintendents. Instead, he immediately drew countless colorful threads from the body parts, the ground, and even the air, weaving them with his ten fingers as if playing a musical piece, and three figures slowly took shape.

The intricacies, peeling back the layers.

In the surreal scene, a clockwork elf lurked behind the man, and Inspector Malfoy uttered two words with difficulty:

"pen……"

The man happened to be holding a pen in his hand.

The video ends here.

"Check to see if any evidence is missing."

Upon hearing the order, Falken's pupils dilated sharply, until they filled his entire eyeballs. He scanned the warehouse and drew a conclusion in an instant:

"Only the pen was lost, serial number 6220157, a key piece of evidence in the Esfri serial murder case 20 years ago. It came from the victim Victor Casti, whose widow Helena Casti and the suspect Yue Lai lived in the same block."

"Malfoy was involved in the investigation of this case when he was a police officer."

Chief Superintendent: "Inform Esfrie's side to ensure Ms. Casti's safety."

"As for the suspect, he should still be inside the Starport."

"Full-scale manhunt!"

……

Bryce's estimate was correct. Everything happened too suddenly, and the police reacted extremely quickly. Yue Lai didn't have time to escape from Star Harbor and could only hide in the women's restroom with Mo.

The main strategy is to take things by surprise.

Mo whispered, "Yue Lai, we're just watching a horror movie, it doesn't have to be that serious, does it?"

"..."

Sure enough, one lie leads to more lies.

"What happened before doesn't matter. In short, we've been set up, and it's almost certain that all the evidence against us will point to me."

"If you get caught, will you go to jail?"

"You'll go to hell."

"oh."

The elf was silent for a moment, then asked, "Don't you know how to become invisible? Let's sneak out quietly."

Yue Lai was both amused and exasperated:

"That's not invisibility, it's the trick of the 'prodigal son,' a white streak in the waves, who can only hide in places with lots of water or lots of people."

"Now that the restrictions on 'Loyal Heart' have been lifted, our spies are sharp and discerning; if we go out, we'll be caught."

"But staying here will expose us sooner or later."

"So I'm trying to figure something out..."

Just as Yue Lai was at his wit's end, there was a noise outside the bathroom, as if someone was coming to relieve themselves. He quickly used the door lock, and fine foam appeared around the two of them.

Fortunately, the bathroom was quite moist.

The two who had done wrong held their breath and silently prayed:

Don't come to this place, don't come to this place...

……

Inside the restroom, Li kept rinsing her face with cold water, and finally looked up in a daze, examining herself.

A few strands of her hair were wet and clung to her naturally beautiful face, which her colleagues envied, while her bright eyes were filled with confusion.

What happened today really shocked her. As an outstanding graduate of the Federal National University, Li was invited to join the police force directly after graduation, but she suffered a great loss on her first mission.

She had done her homework before the mission, but she never expected the criminals to be so cunning. They not only manipulated her, but also murdered the respected Superintendent Malfoy.

It is utterly outrageous.

"Go for it, Li!" she encouraged herself. "We're both innocent children; you'll definitely become someone like the director!"

"One day, all the evildoers will be brought to justice!"

After calming herself down, she remembered what she had come for. She quickly found a half-open cubicle, went in, and started to unbuckle her belt as she turned around.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands reached out from the air behind me!

A large hand held her tightly, while two small hands covered her mouth.

"!"

"Mo, hold on tight, don't let go."

"Okay."

"Mmm..."

"Miss Wales, you'd better be quiet."

"Mmm..."

"I know you're terrified right now, but believe it or not, we didn't kill that police officer."

"Yue Lai, you can drop the word 'they'. They would never doubt a Type 1 Clockwork Elf who is powerless."

"After all, I'm old enough to be in a museum."

"Shut up, Momo."

"oh."

"So, Miss Officer, can we talk this out calmly?"

"Mmm..."

Li continued to struggle violently.

Yue Lai frowned:

"Given some unpleasant past experiences, I understand your reaction, because it's indeed difficult to believe the words of a liar."

"I'm willing to compromise for this; I can prove I'm not a liar."

Li's struggling strength diminished.

"It is common knowledge that no two paths can be used simultaneously, but I can."

"And this is the hidden path you've been searching for among the twelve capable people, also known as the 'slacker,' so I wasn't lying to you on the spaceship."

"That is why I can step onto the path of dual cultivation, thus avoiding the path of 'pure heart'."

"Mmm..."

Li started struggling again.

"I know that words are meaningless, but I can use 'putting myself in your shoes' to briefly connect with you and let you feel my sincerity."

Empathy is the fourth key to the child's understanding, and it allows for a certain degree of sharing of consciousness, something even Li himself has not mastered.

Without giving Li a chance to refuse, Yue Lai used one hand to hold her wrist and the other hand to press against her back.

He carefully controlled his thoughts, keeping them confined to the level of "emotion," allowing the policewoman to perceive "sincerity" without touching on their privacy. However, he sensed panic and anger in Li's heart, and even a hint of... grief and indignation?

Logically speaking, one should have been sincere enough, having truthfully revealed even a secret hidden for hundreds of years.

"Officer Wales, I hope you can cooperate. I can't lie about using the 'pure child' method."

"Moreover, I do not possess any relics of the Pure Heart Path, making it impossible for me to imitate them."

"This is more serious than you think. The killer is probably from within the police headquarters. We must cooperate."

Yue Lai's usually proud eloquence seemed to have failed him at this moment. The police officer was like an enraged lioness, wanting nothing more than to fight him to the death.

He couldn't help but feel a little irritated; time was running out!

Seeing this, Mo cautiously said:

"Yue Lai, I'd like to speak."

"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Perhaps it's because I don't usually wear pants that you tend to overlook some things, so I have to remind you—"

"This policewoman's pants have fallen down."
