What kind of power was this?
Lin Zheng did not know. He only knew that he should stop Liu Sanniang before she revealed all his secrets.
“I’ll take you to see Magistrate Wei.”
Lin Zheng looked at Liu Sanniang pleadingly. The moment he finished, the power that had enveloped him retreated like a tide.
Lin Zheng looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes. They were clean and penetrating. Even after knowing his secrets, the way she looked at him didn’t change.
She was not interested in or shocked by other people’s secrets.
Lin Zheng took a deep breath. “Thank you.”
Liu Sanniang also heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to do this. She didn’t want to know what others thought or experienced, but other than this method, she had no other way to make Lin Zheng believe her.
So once Lin Zheng shouted, ‘Enough!’, she stopped using her power.
Only Lin Zheng knew what he had experienced and felt.
However, the other constables did not know that. They looked at Lin Zheng and then at Liu Sanniang for a few seconds, feeling confused.
Throughout the entire process, Liu Sanniang did not even touch Lin Zheng.
“Constable Lin, you…”
Lin Zheng cut him short coldly. “It’s none of your business.”
He was their boss. There was no need to explain anything to them.
Lin Zheng said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, please follow me.”
The tone in which Lin Zheng spoke became more respectful.
Liu Sanniang followed Lin Zheng in.
Lin Zheng led Liu Sanniang straight to the inner hall. On the way, Lin Zheng said, “Miss Liu, can you dispel my confusion?”
When he asked this question, Lin Zheng’s voice was trembling.
Outside, he had always been cold and ruthless. His subordinates had nicknamed him ‘Iron Mask’ in private.
However, he knew very well that all of this was just a persona. The real him was weak and vulnerable.
In his dreams, he was often terrified to the point of desperation.
Liu Sanniang did not respond. When they were about to enter the inner hall, she said, “When you’re not busy, you can come and find me. I’ll help you.”
However, she was not confident that she could help Lin Zheng.
When Liu Sanniang walked into the hall, Lin Zheng said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
Wei Shilai was discussing with his assistant how to set up defenses around the town. There was only one portrait of the criminal, and it was uncertain if the criminal was the real one, so they could only take precaution.
“Your Lordship,” said Liu Sanniang.
Hearing Liu Sanniang’s voice, Wei Shilai looked up at her and smiled. “Miss Liu, do you have more clues?”
Zhu Zongyang smiled as well. “Miss Liu, we haven’t caught the criminal yet.”
Without catching the criminal, her psychic ability would be useless.
Zhu Zongyang’s tone was indifferent mixed with mock.
However, Wei Shilai was very serious. “Miss Liu, did you find anything else?”
Wei Shilai had experienced her psychic power. Although psychic power was not omnipotent, it could at least give him some leads to work on. Moreover, Liu Sanniang was very capable. She probably didn’t even realize how competent she was.
Wei Shilai had been an official for many years and had seen many colleagues bow down to psychics. The capable psychics were usually very indifferent. Liu Sanniang was completely different from them.
Whether others believed her or not, he believed her.
“Magistrate Wei, the criminal’s portrait is wrong,” Liu Sanniang said with a solemn expression.
She was the one who provided this clue for Wei Shilai to investigate. Liu Sanniang thought that there was no problem.
However, after the dream last night, Liu Sanniang knew that she was completely wrong. If they used this clue to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find the criminal.
Wei Shilai was stunned. “Wrong? How can it be wrong?”
“Miss Liu, are you positive? The description of the woman was provided by your eldest brother, and I asked the painter at the government office to draw it. But now you go back on your words and tell us it’s wrong.”
Zhu Zongyang was a little angry.
“You might have some mysterious ability, but the government office isn’t somewhere you can spout nonsense.”
Zhu Zongyang’s expression darkened.
If this clue was really wrong, then all their efforts in the past two days would go down the drain.
Wei Shilai frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, tell me in detail what happened. Why is the portrait wrong?”
Liu Sanniang was a little hesitant, not knowing how to put it properly. “Your Lordship, I saw a house with many children. The woman holding the child can change her appearance at will. In other words, she looks different from the portrait now.”
In her dream, the Hong Ying she saw looked like a middle-aged woman. However, ever since she entered the house, her appearance had been changing. Bit by bit, she became a young woman.
Hearing that, Wei Shilai was stunned.
After a short silence, Zhu Zongyang said in disbelief, “That’s impossible. How can a person’s appearance change? Does she know ‘Disguise Self’ spell? Even if it’s a Disguise Self spell, it can’t be flawless.”
As soon as Zhu Zongyang finished speaking, Liu Sanniang denied that possibility. “It’s not a spell. Her appearance can change…”
Liu Sanniang paused for a moment. In an instant, it was as if she had been enlightened. She continued. “She’s also a psychic. It’s like I can control the power to read people’s minds, and she can control the power to change her appearance.”
“This woman’s last target is the daughter of the Zhou family. I heard that with my own ears and she is determined to get the girl. As long as she succeeds, she will immediately retreat.”
After Liu Sanniang finished speaking, she looked at Wei Shilai. When Liu Sanniang thought of how that woman used the power to do something so wicked, she was furious.
Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang with his mouth wide open, but no words came out.
Zhu Zongyang was also struck dumb.
Lin Zheng looked at Liu Sanniang Liu as if he had seen Buddha light.
Lin Zheng said, “Your Lordship, give the order.”
As long as they set up a trap in the Zhou family and caught the criminal, this case would be solved and the missing children could come back safely.
If they didn’t catch the criminal this time and let her get away, this case would remain unsolved for perhaps many years.
After Zhu Zongyang came back to his senses, he said, “Constable Lin, why did you believe her? She doesn’t have any evidence to back up her speculation.”
She was the one who said the woman in the portrait was the criminal and she was also the one who said the woman in the portrait wasn’t the right one.
