Chu Xiao then thought about it again and felt sorry for his own materialism. He cleared his throat and slightly revised the draft he had been working on for a long time last night.
His tone was both patient and gentle: "As a police officer, I have a duty to correct the values of children."
Yang Lianhai even suspected that his boss was speaking in a high-pitched voice, which was completely different from his usual rough and gruff manner. It really depends on who you're talking to.
Oh dear, so it seems my boss took my advice.
"We uphold science, so we can't talk about these ghost stories all day long, right? You're in your second year of high school now, what's your primary task?"
Yang Lianhai, the straight man, chimed in: "Study hard and make progress every day, conquer the senior year of high school!"
"So, stop being a charlatan. Leave these strange cases to us. If there's a murderer, there must be clues. As the criminal investigation team with the highest case-solving rate in the country, we have some skills." Chu Xiao said righteously and seriously.
Yan Chiyu glanced at Chu Xiao's profile indifferently, nodded slightly out of politeness, and gave a soft "hmm".
"You solve your case, I'll investigate mine." The young man's expression remained calm, and his tone was equally unhurried: "I promised someone, and I have to keep my word."
After hearing these words, Wu Yue and Yan Chiyu naturally understood what Chu Xiao wanted to express.
But don't they know their own limitations?
The girl smiled faintly, leaned over and took out Cuihua from her pocket, gently poked her head with her index finger, and said softly, "Cuihua, go and say hello to Captain Chu."

[A face-slapping party is coming soon]
Brother Dahai is about to question the meaning of life.
Chu Xiao was slightly annoyed by Yan Chiyu's attitude. Why are kids these days so stubborn? Can't they tell the difference between kind words and harsh ones?
He was feeling down when he suddenly noticed something stuck to his shoulder. Just as Chu Xiao was about to turn his head to look, a white shadow flashed past in his peripheral vision and stopped right in front of him.
He looked closely and saw it was a piece of paper. No, to be precise, it was a paper figure.
With round, bright eyes and slightly pursed triangular lips, this drawing... resembles a chibi version of Wu Yue. And those two little braids are so adorable.
As Chu Xiao thought to himself, the smile on his lips suddenly froze.
Was he seeing things? How could he see a paper figure spinning and jumping in front of him, waving and greeting him?
Chu Xiao had handled countless cases and seen all sorts of bloody and gruesome scenes, but none of them made him swallow his saliva in fear.
This is one of a kind.
He stammered, "Day, did you see the paper figure?"
Yang Lianhai was driving when he quickly turned his head to glance at it before immediately looking away.
When he finally realized what was happening, he was dumbfounded: "A paper doll that can move!"
I'm suddenly a little scared qwq, waaaaah! May Mazu possess me! May Bodhisattva possess me! May my ancestors possess me! Protect me!!!
The police car was unstable, swaying and nearly crashing into the guardrail beside the road.
Yan Chiyu spoke up to remind him, his tone indifferent and flat: "Mr. Yang, please watch out ahead. I don't want to waste talismans on cleanup." He lightly rubbed his fingers together, and the talisman he had just used instantly turned to ash and fell away.
"Sorry." Yang Lianhai steadied himself and focused on driving.
Chu Xiao stared blankly at Cuihua, who was somersaulting in his palm and dancing a dance he couldn't understand, and something inside him instantly cracked.
"Captain Chu, did Cuihua scare you?" A kind female voice came from the back row. "Although Cuihua is a paper doll, she can do many things and understands what you're saying. Isn't that amazing?"
If it were a toy, Chu Xiao could explain it as a high-tech product, such as a language system existing in the toy's brain or other parts of its body.
But this is just a thin, human-shaped piece of paper; where can a chip be placed? Nowhere!
Chu Xiao was incredibly frustrated.
