After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

It was a wooden human figure, about half a foot tall, and entirely brown.

At first glance, the statue doesn't seem particularly special; at most, it's just that the carving is exquisite and lifelike.

It looks very lively, as if it could come to life at any moment.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, it is completely different from both the wooden snake statue in Tong Yan's dormitory and the beast-bodied human-headed statue in Song Fuling's home.

But this is clearly just a facade!

Ye Bai stared intently at the lifelike eyes of the wooden carving, and as time passed, even he began to feel a chill run down his spine.

The more you look at the eyes of that wooden carving, the more eerie they seem, as if they are filled with an unspeakable evil and gloom, making you shudder!

Fortunately, Ye Baitian was naturally brave and had experienced many trials and tribulations. If it were that silly girl Shen Lu here, she would probably be scared to tears!

While the eyes of the wooden snake statue and the beast-bodied human-headed statue are indeed realistic and frightening, they are far inferior to the wooden carving in front of us!

"What are you looking at... this wood carving..."

Seeing Ye Bai standing there motionless for a long time, Yu Anqi curiously came over.

Upon seeing the wood carving clearly, a strange light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the policewoman captain, and she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

She didn't see the beast-bodied, human-headed statue, but she did see the wooden snake statue.

That thing is even in the police station now; it's key evidence used to prosecute Dongfang Wen, the former director of Jingzhou TV station.

Although the wooden carving in front of me is completely different from the wooden snake statue, the charm is extremely similar.

Especially that terrifying look in their eyes, they are exactly the same.

Such a chilling sight is hard to forget, even for an ordinary person who has only seen it once, let alone Yu Anqi, a criminal police captain with always keen observation skills.

"It seems Dongfang Wen wasn't lying..."

Yu Anqi leaned close to Ye Bai's ear and whispered something.

The policewoman captain is quite tall, nearly 1.7 meters, but because she wears flat shoes, she has to stand on tiptoe slightly to keep a proper distance from others.

A warm, sweet-smelling breath hit his ear, and Ye Bai subconsciously turned his head.

The two pairs of eyes instantly stared at each other, and because they were so close, their breaths could even hit each other's faces.

The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"Captain Fish, please have some self-respect and keep your distance. I have a family to support."

What nearly made Yu Anqi vomit blood was that before she could even speak, Ye Bai took two steps back with a look of disgust, his expression righteous and indignant.

"You son of a bitch, have some self-respect!"

Yu Anqi couldn't hold back again and swore.

There's no way around it; whenever she's with Ye Bai, she always feels an urge to commit a crime.

What was wrong with Queen Qin to agree to marry this shameless and infuriating guy?

"Shh, keep your voice down..."

Ye Bai suddenly made a shushing gesture. Yu Anqi thought that he had something important to say, so she could only suppress her anger, take a deep breath, and calm herself down.

Unexpectedly, Ye Bai's next words once again enraged her.

I even had the urge to pick up that wooden carving and smash it until it bled.

"Public officials are not allowed to swear..."

From the day she entered the police academy, Yu Anqi vowed in front of the police badge that she would dedicate her life to this career that she loved so much.

No matter how hard, tiring, or dangerous it is, we will not back down or give up!

But at this moment, she really had the thought of quitting her job.

There's nothing else to it, I just want to kill this guy surnamed Ye.

She'd seen people who were infuriating before, but to be as infuriating as Ye Bai was truly something she'd never seen before.

Upon noticing that Yu Anqi was glaring at him and breathing heavily, clearly on the verge of exploding, Ye Bai quickly said, "Alright, let's get down to business."

Having fought with Queen Qin for so long, Ye Bai now has some experience in dealing with women.

Putting everything else aside, the ability to know when to stop and shift the topic has reached a professional level.

If she's very curious, pique her curiosity. If she's career-oriented, talk about her career.

Yu Anqi undoubtedly belonged to the latter category. Upon hearing the words "serious business," she immediately remembered her duties and the purpose of her visit today. She no longer cared about continuing to argue with Ye Bai, this infuriating guy.

"Do you think this statue and the wooden snake statue were made by the same person?"

Ye Bai glanced to the side and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, Nangong Shengshou was still busy with the sculpture in his hands, and judging from his posture, it would probably take a while to finish.

Meanwhile, the secretary was on her phone, making a call to someone.

"What do you mean? Isn't that right?"

Yu Anqi was taken aback and asked, puzzled.

She didn't understand art, but she could tell that the wooden snake statue and the wooden human figure in front of her were exactly the same.

That chilling look in their eyes is almost exactly the same!

"There are still differences in the techniques used to create these two statues."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Yu Anqi asked疑惑地问道, "What's the difference?"

She took another close look at the wooden human figure carving, and even pulled out a photo of a wooden snake statue on her phone to compare the two carefully.

The conclusion is that there is no difference.

"Hmm, I forgot, it's normal that someone like you, with your mortal eyes and lack of understanding of art, can't see it."

Ye Bai said with a look of sudden realization.

"……Oh shit!"

Yu Anqi really doesn't know what else to say besides cursing.

If there were a pill to undo regrets in this world, she would definitely buy a whole bottle and swallow it all at once.

Not only do I regret bringing this guy along, but I also regret getting to know him!

“Um… take a closer look at the eyes of these two statues; there are actually differences…”

Seeing that Yu Anqi was about to draw her gun, Ye Bai quickly said something.

"Eye?"

Yu Anqi was taken aback and carefully compared them again.

And then, finally, a discovery was made.

Although the eyes of the two statues are very similar, there are indeed differences.

The person in front of me had eyes like a wooden sculpture, rather reserved, but that terrifying aura was all the more intense.

The wooden snake statue has a very flamboyant gaze, but it is far less terrifying.

However, this difference is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to discern.

If Ye Bai hadn't reminded her, even if Yu Anqi had managed to discover it, it would have taken her quite a while.

"So... does that mean that wooden snake statue wasn't made by Master Nangong?"

Yu Anqi frowned, realizing that things were starting to get a little tricky.

The reason the police were able to determine that the wooden snake statue was made by Nangong Shengshou was entirely based on a single sentence from Dongfang Wen.

Moreover, seeing that the carving of the statue was extremely exquisite, completely at the level of a master, they didn't think much of it.

But now it seems that something has clearly gone wrong.

If the wooden snake statue has nothing to do with Nangong Shengshou, it not only means that she made a wasted trip, but the clues have also been completely cut off!
