Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

Bai Zhizhi didn't answer, but Hua Hua, as if bewitched, slowly nodded: "I want to."

Clearly, the little wooden puppet didn't care about Huahua; he was only focused on asking Bai Zhizhi, "And you? Do you like me?"

"Zhi doesn't like you, you bad boy!"

Bai Zhizhi pulled out a talisman from somewhere and slapped it onto the little wooden puppet's forehead.

The little wooden puppet suddenly felt a sharp pain and screamed in agony.

It pounced on Huahua: "I'm going to eat you first! Eating you will make me stronger! Then I'll eat this child!"

With a wave of his hand, Bai Zhi sent the little wooden puppet flying, and cracks began to appear on its wooden body.

Hua Hua's mother was stunned. The scene in front of her was so surreal, like something out of an animated film, that it was actually real.

Now, in Hua Hua's mother's eyes, Bai Zhizhi is truly a little fairy!

Bai Zhizhi quickly drew another talisman, walked over, picked up the little wooden puppet, and stuck it on its forehead.

A ball of flame ignited, and Hua Hua's mother was startled. The flame was clearly in Bai Zhizhi's hand, and she instinctively wanted to go over and pull her away.

But Bai Zhizhi remained very calm; the fire seemed to have no temperature, only the puppet in her hand was making noise.

Soon the puppet lost its vitality, its limbs dangling, but its eyes were still rolling around.

"What is this...?" Hua Hua's mother finally found her voice.

"Huahua, Auntie doesn't need to be afraid anymore. Zhizhi has eliminated the bad guys, so you're all safe now."

Hua Hua's mother was still a little frightened and pulled Hua Hua away from the room, asking, "So why did this thing come to hurt us?"

"This little wooden puppet has been infected with a Gu poison, planted by a wicked human. This Gu will slowly drain Hua Hua's blood; it's a very evil Gu."

Bai Zhizhi looked at Hua Hua's mother: "Auntie, this little wooden puppet was given to you by the bad guy."

"But...this was a gift from Hua Hua's aunt!"

Hua Hua's aunt recently went to Yunnan for a trip. She said she went to some villages to experience the local customs and culture, and brought this doll back for Hua Hua.

There's never been any animosity between their two families, right? And her aunt has always been very kind to Huahua.

"I don't know, adults are complicated. Auntie has to ask them herself to find out."

Bai Zhizhi took a few steps towards Qin Qingzhou and pulled him out of the room, where they stood obediently in the living room.

Hua Hua's mother hesitated for a moment, but still called her aunt.

"Hey Xiaojuan, didn't you give Huahua a little wooden puppet before? I've been thinking about it for a few days and I still think it's too precious, so I'll return it to you?"

"No way!" Wang Juan refused without thinking, and then coughed as if she realized her tone was a bit harsh.

"I don't have any kids, so I don't need it. But I think Huahua likes it, so take it."

Just then, the sound of a broadcast came from the other end of Wang Juan's phone.

[Ms. 53, please proceed to the prenatal ultrasound examination room...]

Hua Hua's mother paused in her hand.

Pregnancy ultrasound? What is Wang Juan going to the pregnancy ultrasound department for?

Bai Zhizhi suddenly exclaimed in a clear voice, "The villain wants to use a poisonous insect to suck away Huahua's soul, then put the soul inside her belly so she can have a baby!"

Bai Zhizhi's voice wasn't quiet; Wang Juan could hear it too. She was stunned when she heard Bai Zhizhi's voice and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to these kids talking nonsense. How could this be?"

Hua Hua's mother was now furious: "Wang Juan, what are you doing there, you're infertile?"

"Who said I'm infertile? I just wasn't planning on having a baby. Now that I'm pregnant, is that a problem?"

"Everyone in the family knows you're infertile, okay? You're trying to kill our Huahua so you can get pregnant yourself! Are you even human? Huahua has always been so good to you, treating you like her favorite aunt, and what have you done?!"

"What's wrong with letting me borrow this one!" Wang Juan suddenly shouted.

Hua Hua's mother was so angry that she was breathing heavily, and her hands were trembling involuntarily.

She finally told the truth... She's always wanted to kill Hua Hua.

"Wang Juan, are you even human?"

Wang Juan, starting to calm down, said something quite shameless: "It's just one child. Anyway, you can still have more. I'll only borrow this one, and I won't borrow any more after the baby is born. That way, the family can both be happy, right?"

Bai Zhizhi tugged at Hua Hua's mother's clothes, trying to get her to hand over the phone.

Bai Zhizhi answered the phone: "You can't lend me a fetus. The baby in your belly is stillborn. It can't be born and will keep sucking your nutrients until you die."

"Where did this kid come from? Stop talking nonsense!"

The puppet, which had been quiet all along, suddenly chuckled: "What she said is all true."

When Wang Juan heard its voice, she was so frightened that she almost hung up the phone.

"The thing in your stomach is the same as the Gu worm planted in my body. It will stay in your stomach forever. The more nutrients it absorbs, the bigger it will become. On the contrary, you will slowly turn into a dried corpse."

"The day you truly become a dried-up corpse, your stomach will burst open, and countless worms will crawl out and devour you alive."

"You're lying! That's not what the person who cast the curse said! *beep beep beep*..."

The phone call was abruptly disconnected, and Wang Juan then realized that she had bitten her fingers until they bled.

When her husband returned after paying the bill, he saw the wound on her hand: "What happened? Did you fall and hurt yourself?"

Wang Juan weakly pushed her husband away, saying, "I'm fine."

"You have to be careful, you're pregnant, it wasn't easy for you to get pregnant."

[Ms. Wang Juan, number 55, please proceed to the prenatal ultrasound examination room...]

Wang Juan shook her head violently, trying to shake off the crazy words she had just heard, and entered the B court room with her husband's help.

"Have you had some water? Lie down."

The doctor quickly examined her abdomen and then printed out an ultrasound image for them.

"I've only been pregnant for a few months now, the baby is still developing, and my condition hasn't changed much yet. Everything is normal. I'll come back for an ultrasound every now and then. Also..."

"Okay." The husband listened attentively to the doctor's instructions.

Wang Juan was distracted, staring blankly at the bill.

Should she really believe what that broken puppet and the child said—that she has a Gu worm in her stomach?

Wouldn't the doctor be able to tell if she really has a parasitic worm in her stomach?

They must be lying.

It was just a scam to get the puppet back. How could she have gotten pregnant with a Gu worm?

……

Meanwhile, Bai Zhizhi raised her hand and slapped the puppet hard across the face.

"You wicked puppet, who gave you permission to talk nonsense!"

The little wooden puppet was stunned by the beating, and dared not move its eyes, so it could only pretend to be dead.

Hua Hua's mother was trembling with anger and suddenly grabbed Qin Qingzhou, shouting, "Officer! Isn't this intentional assault? Arrest that woman immediately!"

"OK."

After agreeing, Qin Qingzhou left with Bai Zhizhi, who then said goodbye to Huahua while holding the little wooden puppet.

Hua Hua's mother practically regarded Bai Zhizhi as her benefactor: "Next time Zhizhi has time, you must come to Auntie's house, and Auntie will cook you something delicious."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie~"

After closing the door, Bai Zhizhi tugged at Qin Qingzhou.

"Uncle, the police shouldn't get involved in this."
