Transform into a human

Li trembled and curled up in the corner of the cubicle, tears welling in her eyes.

Yue Lai stood aside sullenly, a distinct palm print on his cheek.

"Is it really that big of a deal? All you did was say your favorite color..."

"You still dare to talk back!"

"I won't say it, I won't say it, keep your voice down."

Li gritted her teeth: "Maybe you're not a liar, but you're definitely a pervert!"

"Pfft."

Mo accidentally laughed out loud, which drew an angry glare from Li. She lowered her head guiltily.

Fortunately, every innocent person has their own way of regulating their emotions. The policewoman took three deep breaths to suppress her anger.

Although Yue Lai seemed easy to talk to, she didn't forget that she was the one who had been kidnapped.

The first three levels of a skilled person are an outsider, a master craftsman, and a flower-wearing guest. Each level has two skills. She is just an outsider, and she would definitely be no match for him in a real fight.

But the policewoman wanted to save face:

"You just said the killer came from within the police headquarters, do you have any evidence?"

"After all, even outsiders, if they possess high-level relics from the Crimson Heart Sect, might be able to evade the Director's suppression."

"Because of this pen," Yue Lai hoped the policewoman would cooperate fully with him, intending to explain clearly, "judging from your expression, you've seen it before?"

Li told Yue Lai what had happened in the evidence storage room, and the latter nodded:

"Besides swindlers and innocents, I've also dabbled in espionage. Miss Hua Leisi should know a couple of basic tricks of the trade for novice spies, right?"

"Unraveling the mystery and wielding a knife and stick."

"That's right, but the problem is, I didn't see a single 'thread' on this pen that's related to Mrs. Casti, so... this piece of evidence is a fake."

"Isn't it indicative that a crucial piece of evidence from twenty years ago was switched in the police headquarters' evidence storage room?"

Li pursed her lips:

Say it again.

"?"

She turned away in disgust:

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes."

Yue Lai took a deep breath, pressed down on the other person's back, and repeated himself.

"Now you believe me, right?"

The policewoman turned around and hesitated for a moment:

"Since you have such a way to prove your innocence, why don't you go and explain it to Commander Bryce?"

"You can probably guess from my name that my methods can't be made public," Yue Lai scoffed. "What kind of hoodlum goes around telling everyone he's a hoodlum? Besides, that guy might not even believe him."

"You must also swear not to tell anyone else."

"...I swear."

Li began to wonder if she should do her best to help this guy.

Seeing this, Yue Lai put on a pitiful look, almost bursting into tears:

"Bitterness!"

"The sun and moon hang in the sky, day and night; spirits and gods hold the power of life and death. Such is Heaven and Earth!"

"Those who do good suffer poverty and die young, while those who do evil enjoy wealth and long life. Alas, all that remains are tears streaming down their faces."

Mo followed suit, raising her pinky finger gracefully: "So many tears have fallen!"

"Enough!" the policewoman exclaimed, barely able to contain herself. "You're not entirely innocent either! The previous accusations haven't been cleared up yet!"

But what I was thinking was:

"If what this guy is saying is true, then I really can't trust my colleagues anymore..."

She became increasingly agitated, so she opened the door to the cubicle and left that cramped space.

Then, while pacing back and forth in the restroom, lost in thought, I suddenly remembered my lofty ambition to be like the director. Suddenly, the difficulties before me seemed tempting.

"I can help you, but you can't lie to me anymore."

"I swear!"

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes."

"..."

"I swear!"

"...So what are your plans now? The entire Starport branch is looking for you."

"My client may be hiding something, Esfrio."

"However, taking interstellar flights is definitely out of the question; we need to think of other ways."

The central star system has fourteen planets, with Esfri being the outermost one.

Li thought for a while:

"I do have a plan, but how do we get out of Starport? With the detective's keen observation, it's almost impossible."

"And we have to bring her along too."

Mo became nervous upon hearing this:

"You bad woman, you wouldn't be thinking of abandoning me, would you!"

Yue Lai quickly stopped the two from starting to argue:

"A keen eye for detail is the fourth skill of a spy. Surely, Ba Shilang is at least a senior superintendent in the police headquarters? He should have some idea of ​​what's going on until reinforcements arrive."

"Now I have to take a gamble. If I don't run into any shamans along the way, I can get by with my 'White Stripe in the Waves' skill."

"What if we encounter that?"

"See you in the next life."

"..."

Li tugged at her hair in frustration. Why did she have to run into such a mess?

I can only repeat it to myself over and over again:

Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person... Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person...

……

Although Star Harbor is called a port, it is actually a huge city. Bryce is indeed short-handed and can only concentrate a limited number of senior superintendents in the dock area for control. The support from headquarters will not arrive for a while.

This is why Yue Lai was in such a hurry. If they continued to delay, they would definitely be subjected to a thorough search. It would be better to take a gamble now!

At that moment, he and Mo followed Li furtively. Watching their colleagues, who were on high alert, pass by, the policewoman had never felt so thrilled in her life.

She kept calculating the distance to the back mountain, her heart beating faster and faster.

"Almost there, almost there, just a few hundred meters left..."

Just as her heart was about to leap out of her throat, a voice behind her sent shivers down her spine:

"Wallace, Falken and the others are looking for you everywhere."

"Chief Qingyan."

The newcomer was none other than Senior Superintendent Qing Yan, holding a thermos cup and wearing the same smile as always, seemingly oblivious to the two rats in the gutter.

Li had privately told Wan De that she thought Superintendent Qing Yan was the warmest guy in the Xinggang branch, but now she felt that this warm guy's smile was chilling!

But for some reason, Qingyan, who had keen insight, seemed not to have seen those two guys.

May all the gods and Buddhas protect you, please don't ask any more questions, an innocent child can't lie!

Qingyan seemed to hear her thoughts and murmured to himself:

"There are many retired elders living in seclusion on the back mountain. We can't let the murderer sneak out and disturb them."

"You're right, aren't you, Wales?"

"right……"

"These are turbulent times!"

"Alright, I'll go get some hot water. You can go do whatever you need to do, but don't forget to go find Falken and the others."

"Yes……"

After Qingyan walked away, Li suddenly felt weak in the legs and leaned against a tree, becoming a chatterbox:

"Thank goodness, thankfully we weren't discovered."

"You're actually quite reliable, you've got some serious experience as a playboy."

"What was his name again, 'scoundrel'? That's a rather domineering approach. By the way, how many paths did you take at the same time?"

"At most four, at least four," Yue Lai said quietly. "But Miss Officer, the cultivation I've acquired through this side practice has its limits. Currently, it's at most 60% of the original."

"Sixty percent?"

"You said 60%!"

Li's face was stiff.

Yue Lai: "Although I don't know why that superintendent let us go, right now, we should hurry up and run for our lives!"

The hinterland of the back mountain.

Yue Lai and Li were both capable people, so their stamina was naturally sufficient for traveling. However, Mo was a bit out of breath, and a lot of silver steam was coming out of the exhaust vent on her back, covering Yue Lai's face.

"This is going to kill me!"

"Clockwork Phantom, hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."

After passing through another oak grove, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a small house in the clearing, where an old man was sawing planks.

"Little Li, why are you looking for this old man at this hour?"

"I heard there's been a big commotion at Star Harbor, looks like it was caused by your boyfriend."
