"Friend, your name is Liu Di, right?"
Officer Tao Wutian stepped forward, his eyes bloodshot and veined. "You're my father's student. I understand how you feel, but you can't solve the case like this. You don't understand, so don't talk—don't interfere with the proper procedure."
Tao Wutian swallowed the second word of "talk nonsense."
It wasn't his fault.
Solving cases required science too. Liu Di had dismissed everyone and remained alone at the scene. It looked more like he was preparing to perform a ritual.
"I'll give you an explanation."
Liu Di glanced down at the shadow behind Tao Wutian and said at the same time, "Officer Duan, quickly."
Tao Wutian seemed reluctant to leave.
But Duan Hua acted personally, forcefully pulling Tao Wutian by the arm. "Little Tao, come with me!"
Once outside the door.
Tao Wutian was frustrated and confused. "Officer Duan, why should we follow his arrangements? Who is he?"
Duan Hua's gaze flickered. "He isn't on the same level as us. By that reasoning, this murderer isn't on the same level either."
Duan Hua immediately turned and shouted, "Everyone, set up a security perimeter—at least three layers! All students must be forced to stay away!"

As he watched Duan Hua and several officers leave, his eyes remained fixed on their shadows. When they reached the doorway and stepped into the sunlight, their shadows vanished with no abnormalities.
With a wave of Liu Di's hand, Fluid Metal formed thin filaments and slammed the office door shut with a bang.
The room was terrifyingly quiet.
He slowly lowered his head.
He stared at his own shadow on the floor, stretched thin and long.
The reading lamp shone from behind Liu Di. With light at his back, he faced the darkness.
