Nan Tingmian was stunned. The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and his face was deathly pale. Only his lowered eyes showed some surprise.
But now that things had come to this, there was no need for him to hide it anymore, so he said, "I didn't expect you to be able to tell that you're not a policeman?"
"When did I say I was a police officer?" Wen Li said indifferently, "I'm a member of the Celestial Masters Association, a special department that specializes in solving metaphysical cases. The array you drew on the rocky beach is the Five Elements Changing Array; most people wouldn't know that."
After a pause, Wen Li suddenly said, "But you've been deceived. Your formation is indeed called a child-swapping technique, but in reality, after you drowned Miao Miao, the child Fu Yuan was pregnant with would be slowly absorbed by the person behind you to increase their own luck. Everything you did was a bubble; it was a scam from the very beginning."
It was only after arriving at the police station that Wen Li belatedly realized the intentions of the person behind Nan Tingmian.
Miao Miao was born on an auspicious day, with abundant Yang energy. In some ancient cultures or churches, she would be considered a "holy child." As for Fu Yuanhuai's children, they were born around a Yin month and Yin hour, which perfectly complemented Yin and Yang.
However, a proper Taoist master would not, and could not, engage in such a method of killing to replenish his spiritual energy.
When exactly did so many shady Taoist priests appear in City A?
"You'd better explain yourself clearly so you can reduce your sentence by two years," Wen Li said seriously.
However, Nan Tingmian had already lost his mind because of Wen Li's words.
Suddenly, Nan Tingmian laughed, but then he started crying again.
It was ten minutes later when he calmed down.
"I'm sorry to Yuanyuan, and I'm sorry to Professor Mu." Nan Tingmian sighed, "I love Yuanyuan, but I've had bad luck. Although there aren't many job opportunities in archaeology, that only applies to students from ordinary universities. Archaeology graduates from A University are highly sought after. But that year, it was like I was possessed..."
He was rejected in various interviews, and even with Professor Mu's guidance, he still made frequent mistakes at work.
But then Master Fang appeared and said that he was destined to have a son, but his wife was pregnant with a daughter, which would hinder his career.
Nan Tingmian initially didn't believe in these things, until more and more mistakes were made later on.
He had an idea, and during the examination, he learned the child's gender. Just as Master Fang had said, it was indeed a girl.
When she met Master Fang again, he said that the child his wife was carrying was a jinx, and only if she carried a boy would the family be spared.
At that time, his wife's physical condition deteriorated sharply due to her pregnancy. Gradually, he became more and more convinced that female fetuses were a harbinger of misfortune. So he secretly obtained banned drugs, his wife miscarried, and his luck suddenly improved.
This is why he is so obsessed with having a boy.
"Yuanyuan couldn't conceive a boy, so Master Fang reappeared, saying he could find a child with plenty of yang energy. That child was Miaomiao. I really liked this child before, but Miaomiao kept making a fuss and wanted to go home..."
"Idiot." Wen Li commented indifferently, "You're supposed to be a top student at A University, don't you understand the importance of science?"
Nan Tingmian: "..."
You, a Taoist priest, want me to believe in science?
"Now that things have come to this, you can just wait for the law to punish you."
Wen Li said no more and walked straight out of the interrogation room.
Just as she reached the door, Wen Li made a phone call to Zhang Huaiyu.
Zhang Huaiyu on the other end of the phone was still a little confused: "Wen Li, it's already one o'clock in the morning."
Wen Li, completely unaware that she had disturbed someone's sweet dream, nodded and said, "I know, I have something to ask you."
Zhang Huaiyu instantly became much more sober.
He knew that Wen Li never spoke nonsense.
"What happened?"
Wen Li recounted Miao Miao's story and then said, "Do you remember what happened to Huo Yinghuai's uncle and elder uncle? The person who taught them formations was still a Master Fang. However, this person is elusive. I asked Nan Tingmian, and although he had seen him, he couldn't remember what he looked like at all, as if he was under a spell."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyu sat up abruptly from the bed and quickly turned on the computer in the study.
“I sent people to investigate before, but they found nothing. There is no such person as Master Fang in China.” Zhang Huaiyu said, “The president also said a few days ago that there seem to be many more metaphysical cases in City A, and she has several more in her hands.”
Wen Li: "What do we do now? I can't figure out where Master Fang is either?"
Zhang Huaiyu had a headache, but he comforted her, saying, "Xiao Li, the Celestial Masters Association isn't omnipotent. We can only do our best to resolve things. Our own safety must be our top priority. The Celestial Masters Association's intelligence team will assist the police in continuing their investigation into Master Fang's matter. Don't worry too much."
At this moment, Wen Li saw Mu Shuxin carrying Miao Miao and walked over. Wen Li quickly said, "I have a feeling that this matter is not simple. This Master Fang doesn't seem to be doing this for money. He is obviously doing this to increase his own cultivation. President, you must investigate this matter thoroughly."
Zhang Huaiyu, who was on the other side, couldn't sleep after being disturbed like this. He agreed and drove straight to the Celestial Masters Association.
Wen Li then hung up the phone.
Seeing Mu Shuxin standing in front of her, Wen Li called out, "Professor Mu."
"Wen Li, thank you so much for this." Professor Mu, who had been serious, turned into a sentimental old man and was about to cry again as he spoke: "Without you, Miao Miao would never have come back."
After saying that, Mu Shuxin hugged Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, quickly thank your sister."
Miao Miao stared blankly at Wen Li, her eyes glazed over.
