Chapter 31: You wouldn't think of snatching him away, would you! Fly with the wind net

  Officer Su didn't want to say anything more to Li Yi, and in extreme anger, he laughed: "Fine, I'll turn my back on you. If you can't draw something that makes sense, then wait for a month inside the police station!" After saying this, he turned his back in hatred.

  For the first time, Li Yi was also unsure, in order to leave here early, to prove his innocence, he had to take out the cinnabar brush from his school bag. However, drawing talismans still requires some things, such as water and an inkstone, which he forgot to buy, so he said: "Officer, I'm afraid I need to trouble you with one more thing?"

  "What's going on?" Officer Su said irritably.

  "There is no water here, nor an inkstone, how can I draw a talisman?" Li Yi said.

  "Ah, you're quite professional! Water's here, but no inkstone. I'll get you an ashtray instead, wait for it." Officer Su left and returned with an ashtray in a short while, slapping it on the table to vent his dissatisfaction towards Li Yi.

  Li Yi put cinnabar in an ashtray, poured some water on it, stirred it evenly, and then picked up a brush to dip it slightly.

  Li Yi's method of conjuring up symbols in his mind involved spreading out yellow paper and slowly drawing them.

  The strokes must be concentrated attention, using the power of the mind to lead, and inputting thoughts into the strokes, so that the talisman can take shape.

  Perhaps because it was the first time drawing a talisman, Li Yi's brush moved very slowly, and it took about half an hour before he finished drawing the first talisman, by which time Officer Su had grown impatient.

  "Officer, I've finished drawing." Li Yi held the talisman in his hand and nodded in satisfaction, as it was the first time he chose to draw the simplest strengthening talisman.

  Su Jingchu turned around with some disbelief and stared at the talisman for a while before saying, "This is the talisman?"

  On yellow paper, countless lines are densely drawn, each line is connected to each other, as if they were born in heaven, containing the supreme Tao.

  "Yes! This is the legendary talisman." Li Yi said, "Can I leave now?"

  "Hold on." Officer Su still didn't believe Li Yi could draw the talisman, but couldn't point out any flaws either. "How do I know you're not just drawing randomly?"

  "How do you want to prove it?" Li Yi asked.

  Officer Su thought for a moment before saying: "Alright, if I can draw a talisman like yours, then that proves you're a fake, how about it?"

  Li Yi suddenly burst out laughing, making Officer Su feel a chill run down his spine. The latter coldly snorted: "What's so funny?"

  "Of course I laughed, you're not a Taoist master, it's absolutely impossible to draw such a talisman." Li Yi deliberately provoked, the uniform story between him and the beautiful policewoman was something that could only be seen in big movies.

  One side is sincere and hardworking, while the other side is perfunctory and unenthusiastic; the outcome of things can be easily imagined.

  Officer Su snorted and prepared to expose Li Yi's lie, saying without thinking: "Don't try to deceive people here, what if I can draw it out?"

  "If you can draw it out, I'll do whatever you want." Li Yi said seriously.

  "This is what you said, if I draw it out, you'll have to wait a year in prison!" Officer Su was furious and vowed to take revenge on Li Yi.

  Li Yi shrugged indifferently and said, "If you can't draw it out, then you owe me one thing, okay?"

  "Alright!" Officer Su agreed. She thought she wouldn't lose, but still added a sentence, "As long as it doesn't violate the law or go against morality, I can agree to anything else."

  Officer Su picked up the brush and quickly began to copy the talisman drawn by Li Yi.

  No need to mention, the beautiful policewoman also had a foundation in painting, every line was copied with great skill, at first glance, it was indistinguishable from Li Yi's paintings. But as the saying goes, those who know how to appreciate look for the subtlety, while those who don't know how to appreciate look for the excitement. With one glance, Li Yi could see that although Su policewoman's copy was lifelike, it lacked an important element within the lines - the power of divine insight, destined to be unable to complete the talisman.

  In the blink of an eye, the talisman was left with only one last line, and Officer Su slowly drew it out.

  After all this, Officer Su let out a long sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: "How about that? I knew you were a swindler. What else do you have to say for yourself?"

  "Are you sure this is a talisman and not a ghostly drawing?" Li Yi smiled.

  Officer Su's face changed, she pinched her waist and glared at Li Yi: "You don't want to admit it? The talisman is right here, do you dare say there's a difference between the two?" As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand to point at the two talismans. But just then, something unexpected happened that she hadn't anticipated - the talisman she had just completed suddenly ignited and burned itself up, turning into ashes in just a few seconds.

  "How could this be? How is it possible?" Officer Su knew that cinnabar didn't have the ability to self-ignite, but why did the talisman he drew just now suddenly catch fire on its own?

  "What you drew may look similar, but it's not a real talisman. Without the support of divine consciousness, it will naturally self-destruct." Li Yi said with reason and evidence.

  When Li Yi said this, Officer Su suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be a real cultivator and asked: "Are you really the legendary cultivator?"

  "Uh... I've said it before, I can only draw symbols, nothing else." Li Yi didn't dare to speak nonsense, this was a police station after all. If the news got out, he would really be caught and used as a lab rat for research.

  "So you're also half a swindler?" Officer Su caught the verbal slip and continued questioning.

  Li Yi smiled and said, "You can understand it that way, but I really have some real skills."

  Officer Su was just about to speak when there was a sudden knock at the door. She glared fiercely at Li Yi, signaling him to tidy up the things on the table, and said: "Come in!"

  Hong Gang stood outside the door with a girl, and when he saw Officer Su, he said: "The transcript has been recorded, but the girl says she will only tell the truth if she sees Li Yi."

  "Bring her in!" Officer Su said.

  Hong Gang brought the girl into the interrogation room. The girl saw Li Yi secretly and let out a sigh of relief, then sat down beside him.

  Officer Su and Hong Gang sat down, the latter asked: "Her name is Chen Xiaofei, Li Yi's classmate, the woman mentioned by Mr. Cao..."

  "Hmm!" Officer Su nodded and looked at Chen Xiaofei, "Tell me! Has he ever harassed you?"

  "Really!" Chen Xiaofei's first sentence made everyone's eyes widen, especially Li Yi, who couldn't believe that the other party could say such a thing.

  Officer Su seemed to have grasped Li Yi's handle and smiled slightly, just about to order the handcuffs on Li Yi when Chen Xiaofei spoke again.

  This sentence once again left the two people in shock, while Li Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  "But he's my boyfriend, and even if he teases me, it's all part of our love." Chen Xiaofei said, her face flushing with embarrassment as she lowered her head.

  "Ah!!!!!!" Hong Gang stared with his mouth agape, hastily asking, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

  "I can't be certain whether you're bringing my boyfriend or not, and if it's not him, wouldn't that mean I'd have an extra boyfriend?" Chen Xiaofei said with a mischievous grin.

  Officer Su waved her hand, knowing she couldn't pin anything on Li Yi. She turned to Hong Gang and said, "Take Li Yi away, I have some things I want to discuss with her alone."

  "Shall I take him away?" Hong Gang hadn't finished his task yet and asked, "Do you want to interrogate him again?"

  "It's all right, there's nothing in his school bag that we're looking for, he can leave anytime." Officer Su said in a commanding tone.

  Hong Gang's mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say a word. He looked at Li Yi and coldly snorted: "Kid, come out with me, you can leave."

  Li Yi was led out of the interrogation room, and Officer Su looked at Chen Xiaofei, saying: "Is he really your boyfriend?"

  "Yes! He's even been to my home, don't believe me? You can ask him where I live." Chen Xiaofei was a clever woman, she knew what words could save Li Yi.

  Officer Su didn't dwell on that sentence, but instead said: "I just investigated and found out that Li Yi's grades are the worst in the class, and he has also been mixed up with society for a while. Do you think such a boyfriend is reliable?" After finishing speaking, she opened Chen Xiaofei's file again and said: "Your family is very good, even if you two are together, your parents won't agree."

  "This is our business, the police won't interfere with this too, will they?" Chen Xiaofei knew that talking too much would lead to trouble, so she suddenly changed the subject and said something that even surprised herself, "Could it be that beautiful sister has taken a liking to him and wants to snatch him away from me, intentionally saying this to make me leave him?"

  "What? I'll rob him?" Officer Su's nose was crooked with anger, but he couldn't refute it.

  Chen Xiaofei remained calm and composed, as if she had expected this reaction. She said, "If not, why did you keep me behind to talk alone and not let us leave together?"

  "Alright, you can leave now." Officer Su found that Chen Xiaofei was even more troublesome than Li Yi. If all the suspects were like this in the future, she would be driven mad first.

  After Li Yi and others were sent back to school by the police car, Hong Gang received a call and came to Officer Su's office, saying: "Meng Xi, Director Li said he wants to close the case, but how do we fill in the column for suspected smuggling goods? You are the only one who has seen what is inside the backpack. You must tell me what is inside."

  "Would you believe me if I told you what's inside?" Officer Su thought to herself, knowing the other person wouldn't believe her, but still spoke out, "It's just some brushes, yellow paper and cinnabar."

  Hong Gang picked up his pen and was about to fill it out, but suddenly hesitated and said: "You've watched too many fantasy dramas! Would a student's backpack really have these things?"

  "Hmm! How should I fill it in?" Officer Su deliberately showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Some things are not important as long as they don't violate the law."

  Seeing Officer Su's expression, Hong Gang also guessed something and exclaimed: "It can't be those things, right?!"

  "It's just those things, I'm tired, you go out!" Officer Su waved his hand, gesturing for the other person to leave quickly.

  Hong Gang wrote two words on the column and left the office, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, saying: "Wang Shao, what's the result of the investigation?"

  Wang Meng was in class, his phone vibrated, he wouldn't disturb the teacher, and said in a low voice: "Say, what's up?"

  "Wang Shao, it's not something like white powder, but a set of things, you know." Hong Gang said simply and hung up the phone.

  On the other end of the phone, Wang Meng was stunned and blurted out: "What's with all these condoms, what are you doing bringing so many to school?"

  Because he was too surprised, he forgot to lower his voice when saying this, so all the classmates in the class heard it.

  The classroom of Class 7 in the third year of high school suddenly fell silent, with no sound to be heard, not even a pin dropping on the ground.

  All the classmates looked at Wang Meng, even the teacher was the same, and Chinese teacher Wang Haiyan hummed coldly, saying: "Wang Meng, remember to go to the teaching office after school..."
