There will be three more updates today!

  A serious case occurred near the end of the year, and all the victims were 16- or 17-year-old high school girls, with as many as 12 victims, causing a great impact on society, even triggering panic among parents of high school girls. For more than 20 days, police officers in the special task force have been working overtime, arresting several suspects who had connections with one or more of the victims and did not have solid alibis at the time of the crime.

  If there is only one suspect, it goes without saying that he must be the murderer. But if five or six suspects emerge, it will be very difficult to handle. This is also the most entangled place for the police. There are suspects, motives, no alibi, no murder weapon, and not enough evidence to convict the suspects. Most importantly, each of them looks like a murderer, but none of them are actually the murderer.

  Xiao Jingchen determined the cause of death and recognized the killer's modus operandi, so Director Chen immediately had He Mingbo take Xiao Jingchen to identify the perpetrator.

  Through the one-way glass mirror, you can see six suspects in the interrogation room, all of whom are over 30 and under 40 years old, in their prime as men, with broad shoulders and waists, robust muscles, and a strong physique at first glance.

  Everyone present remembered that Xian Mang had said that using "Starlight" required a powerful burst of energy and strength that ordinary people could hardly match.

  Xiao Jingchen was held in Bai Xijing's arms, looking through the one-way glass at the suspect inside. Her big round eyes sparkled as they slid over the suspect's body, and finally, under everyone's expectant gaze, Xiao Jingchen shook her head, "None of them are the murderer."

  Everyone couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment, with some expressing skepticism, "You can tell they're not the murderers just by looking at them?"

  "It's just that, and the starlight is also too unbelievable, kiddo, you've watched too many martial arts movies!"

  "Ai, a six-year-old kid knows what? Asking her for help in solving the case is crazy."

  “……baba……”

  "Please note your wording," Aunt Mei suddenly spoke up, her voice steady and her sharp eyes staring straight at Director Chen. "Your language carries a very strong implication of suspicion and discrimination, which I can take as distrust towards my niece and malicious speculation and slander. You must make it clear that my niece is not a suspect or an eyewitness, and she's only five years old, she has no obligation to identify the perpetrator for you. If her good intentions to help can only get treated like this, I will immediately take her home and reserve the right to pursue your infliction of psychological harm on a minor."

  The police officers were stunned, staring at Zhuo Mei with their eyes wide open. Her straightforward words had instantly killed them all off. She was indeed the most outstanding lawyer in S City. It's true that people are better than others, and goods are better than others. The Bai family must have burned incense in a previous life to have such an exceptional family, where every member is not a good person, even a six-year-old kid has the composure to face a dead body calmly.

  Zhuo Mei's words successfully suppressed the agitation of the police officers. Director Chen glanced at his subordinates with a calm expression, then turned to Bai Qirui and Bai Xijing and solemnly said, "I apologize on their behalf." His gaze shifted to Xiao Jingchen, "Little friend, they weren't talking about you, don't blame them."

  Xiao Jingchen tilted her head, blinked her eyes, pouted slightly, and looked unhappy all over. "My ears are very good, they're talking about me, I can hear them, you don't have to lie to me." She turned her head to look at Bai Xijing, "Master said that monks don't speak deceitful words, those who speak deceitful words are not good people."

  "Master?" Chen Zong and all the police officers were initially embarrassed to hear Xiao Jingchen's direct accusation, but a single "master" made everyone's heart skip a beat. If they didn't remember wrong, Xiao Jingchen had once admitted that she also knew Xing Mang, so this "master"... should be the one who taught her Xing Mang, and it was very likely that he was the real murderer.

  "Where is your master?" Chen asked hastily.

  Xiao Jingyan gave him a glance, pouting and leaning on Bai Xijin's shoulder without making a sound. She didn't want to talk to the deceitful scoundrel.

  Bai Xi Jing couldn't help but chuckle and patted her head, meeting Chen's anxious gaze. "I know what you're thinking," he said. "Her master is just an old man over a hundred years old. Not only can't he use Starlight, even if he could, it wouldn't be of any use. Besides, he's not in S City, so you'd better find another breakthrough!"

  "Please tell us his name and address, as for whether he has the ability to kill, we will verify it ourselves." He Mingbo held a pen in one hand and a work logbook in the other, with a professional demeanor, looking up at Bai Xijing's seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling eyes. Only then did he react, awkwardly tugging at the corner of his mouth, saying "Sorry, sorry, it's just a habit."

  Bai Xi Jing didn't mind those things, just shrugged his shoulders and said irresponsibly, "I don't know where her master is either."

  Bodhi Temple has been isolated from the world for dozens of centuries, and over the years, it has not only had various elite monks who have renounced worldly life but also many killers who have put down their butcher knives to attain Buddhahood. In any case, they have retreated into the empty gate and do not ask about worldly affairs, seeking a pure land for their souls through ascetic practice. Bai Xijing would not and could not let these police officers go to Bodhi Temple to disturb the monks' quiet meditation.

  It's not like the old days, where you can just enter a temple and wipe out your crime of murder. That's why even when Grandpa White and Grandma White were fighting loudly, he never thought of going to the Bodhi Temple to ask that monk who used hidden weapons about his motives.

  He Mingbo didn't believe that Bai Xijing didn't know where the master was, but looking at Bai Xijing's firm eyes, He Mingbo knew he wouldn't get any information about this "master" from him. He helplessly turned to Director Chen, who shifted his gaze to Bai Qirui. Bai Qirui didn't even raise an eyebrow; it was he and Madam Bai who had sent Bai Xijing to the Bodhi Temple for cultivation back then, so he knew a bit about the situation in the temple. His thoughts coincided with Bai Xijing's, and at the same time, he completely believed that the murderer would absolutely not be someone from the temple.

  Bai Xijing lived in Bodhi Temple for ten years. After completing his cultivation, he felt very uncomfortable when he returned home. He had wanted to sneak back into the temple many times, but unfortunately, every time he got lost halfway up the mountain and couldn't get out after entering the vast forest. This wasn't because his sense of direction was poor, but because that vast forest had a strange aura, and Bodhi Temple was not lacking in extraordinary people with special abilities.

  Because the monks who have retired from killing are restricted to a certain extent, until they die of old age, they will never have the opportunity to leave the gate of Bodhi Temple, so the murder case in S city has absolutely nothing to do with them.

  Bai Qi Rui's uncooperative attitude made Chen very helpless. Xiao Jingchen was too young, making them very passive. They couldn't use the method of forcing adults to cooperate to force her, that would be child abuse. Chen sighed and silently gazed at the back of the small head leaning on Bai Xi Jing's shoulder.

  Xiao Jingyun's restless eyes moved slightly, and suddenly she straightened up and looked at Bai Xijing, "I remembered, Mingran Shixiong said he had another younger brother."

  Bai Xi Jing was taken aback, raising an eyebrow, "Ming Ran's disciple?"

  "It was the one who taught me Xing Mang, I don't know what mistake he made, Master punished him to fetch water, except for the water tank used by me and a few younger martial brothers to practice, all the other water tanks on the mountain were fetched by him. Basically, except for eating and sleeping, he spent most of his time fetching water. That's when I got familiar with him while he was fetching water. He said he had a younger brother, and Xing Mang wasn't as good as him!"

  Bai Xi suddenly understood, and it was clear that Master Shi's nephew was a model of instant enlightenment.
