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

Qin Qingzhou saw snow falling on the road on her way back, and without even guessing, she knew the little guy would definitely want to go out and play.

He hid the things behind him and put Bai Zhizhi down.

"Going out is fine, but you have to wear gloves, otherwise it'll be too cold and you'll catch a cold."

Bai Zhizhi didn't like wearing gloves, but at this moment she could only pout unhappily: "Okay, Uncle will put gloves on Zhizhi."

Qin Qingzhou went to get a pair of woolen gloves, and because Bai Zhizhi was going to play in the snow, he also specially took a plastic glove to put over it so that the gloves wouldn't get wet.

As soon as the gloves were on, the little guy took off running outside.

A puppy and a small paper figure were following behind it.

"The snow is so beautiful, it's like feathers!"

Bai Zhizhi opened her mouth wide, tilted her head back, and a snowflake landed right in her mouth. She licked it and found that it had no taste.

"Ah Fu! Snowflakes are actually edible!"

"Woof woof! Ah Fu wants to eat too! Ah Fu wants to eat too!"

"Then Afu, imitating Zhizhi, opened his mouth to catch the snowflakes in the air; the snowflakes on the ground were dirty."

Then the person and the dog opened their mouths and ate the snow.

I tried calling for ages but didn't seem to get anything; my mouth was practically dry from all the talking.

The Little Spirit Ouija Board proposed a new way to play: "In the past, kids would play by building snowmen."

Bai Zhizhi's attention was immediately diverted: "I want to play too!"

"Then learn from me, like this." The little spirit taught her how to build a snowman step by step.

The little spirit, now a paper figure, was huffing and puffing as it pushed the snowball to the side, until it became wet and limp in no time.

"Oh no! Little Taoist priest, please help me! I can't get up!"

Seeing that He was soaking wet on the ground, Bai Zhizhi also cried out and went to find Qin Qingzhou. He got a plastic bag from Qin Qingzhou and carefully put the little spirit into the plastic bag.

They quickly built a crooked little snowman.

Bai Zhizhi looked at it with disdain: "Is this a little snowman? It's so ugly."

"Woof woof! It looks so delicious!"

"Ah Fu, you should just eat it. It's too ugly. Zhizhi doesn't like it."

Just as Afu was about to open his mouth and take a bite, he was stopped by the little paper figure inside the plastic bag.

The plastic bag was lifted up into a small hill by the little paper figure.

"No! It may be ugly now, but that's because it doesn't have facial features yet."

Bai Zhizhi suddenly realized, "Oh right, people have eyes, noses, and mouths, but little snowmen don't."

Bai Zhizhi rubbed her hands together, took out her portable calligraphy brush: "Watch Zhizhi draw one for it."

Bai Zhizhi kept the calligraphy brush in his bosom; it was warm. With a single stroke of the brush, a hole appeared on the face of the little snowman.

"How strange, why can't I draw?"

"Because snowmen are made of water, and water can't be drawn with a pen!"

"What should we do then?" Bai Zhizhi pondered for a moment, chin in hand, then noticed a few stones on the ground not far away. "I've got it! We'll use the stones as the snowman's facial features!"

Afu ran the fastest, carrying a mouthful of stones in his mouth.

Bai Zhizhi pasted the stones onto the snowman's face according to their shapes. After finishing, his brows furrowed even more.

Why does she look even uglier?

"Woof woof! Why does it taste even better?"

"Never mind! Ah Fu! Eat it!"

Afu the puppy pawed away the stone, opened its mouth wide, and bit off the snowman's head, its mouth full of icy coldness.

"Waaah! It doesn't taste good at all!"

"Zhizhi, are you cold? Do you want to come back and turn on the air conditioning?" Qin Qingzhou called out to her from the edge of the yard.

Bai Zhizhi was just clamoring to play in the snow, but now she's completely lost interest and quickly ran over: "Wait for the snow! Zhizhi is so cold."

Once inside the office, Qin Qingzhou revealed the secret he had kept hidden all day.

"Does Zhizhi know what day it is today?"

"Today is the first day it snowed."

"That's not right."

"Well, I don't know."

"Bang!"

Colorful ribbons floated in the sky, startling Bai Zhizhi. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Li Ku.

Then there were a few more bursts of confetti, and the other officers from the police station rushed in.

Happy birthday, Bai Zhizhi!

"Birthday! Is today Zhizhi's birthday?"

"Yes, happy birthday."

"Wow!" Bai Zhizhi, the little penguin, hopped around clumsily in the office. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly pulled Qin Qingzhou along: "We had a party for Xiaoguai's birthday last time, Zhizhi wants to have a party too, and invite all the children!"

Qin Qingzhou patted her little head: "Don't worry, I already made the arrangements for you. Tonight, all the children will be coming over for dinner at home."

"What about the cake?" Bai Zhizhi's eyes lit up.

"I ordered a super big cake for you. Can you guess what it looks like?"

"Then I guess it looks like a super big candy."

Qin Qingzhou couldn't help but chuckle: "If you like candy so much, be careful not to ruin your teeth."

That evening, all of Bai Zhizhi's close friends were invited to her home, and they all brought lots of gifts.

Many children were told by their parents on the way there that they should not provoke this child no matter what, and that they should try to please her.

The children were stunned when a huge three-tiered cake was brought out.

Of course, that's not all.

Qin Qingzhou managed to get information out of Bai Zhizhi that afternoon, revealing that she liked candy-shaped cakes. So he quickly ordered a small candy cake just for Bai Zhizhi, exclusively for her.

Bai Zhizhi was so excited when he saw this that he hugged Qin Qingzhou and gave her a big kiss.

The gift Qin Qingzhou prepared for her was specially obtained from the elders; it was a branch from the tree on Xuanqing Mountain that represented her sister.

He even specially hired a craftsman to polish the branch and seal it into a resin pendant.

Bai Zhizhi knew from the scent of the wet nurse that it was the tree on the mountain.

"It's the wet nurse!" Bai Zhizhi jumped for joy as she held the pendant.

The other children also brought out the gifts they had prepared. Xingxing prepared a handmade ornament in the shape of a small ginseng.

Xie Guan prepared a small bag that his mother had woven by hand, which was specifically for storing her talismans.

Bai Zhizhi received so many gifts that she was overwhelmed.

She said it was the happiest day of her life.

Bai Zhizhi wishes every day could be her birthday.

……

The next day, Qin Anshi invited the little guy to go fishing.

This was Bai Zhizhi's first time fishing. Seeing her grandfather fully equipped with fishing gear, she insisted on wearing those clothes too.

Qin Qingzhou couldn't get him any, so she could only coax him for a long time, saying that her grandfather needed to wear these clothes because of his poor health.

Bai Zhizhi felt heartbroken after hearing this and desperately wanted to use her spiritual power to heal her grandfather.

Qin Anshi stated: "I'm in good health, don't spread rumors."

The fishing rod twitched, and the group instantly became alert. Qin Anshi hurriedly reached for the fishing rod.

"Wow, it's heavy! Looks like a big fish!"

After a while, Qin Anshi sensed something was wrong: "Qingzhou, come help me pull it, why is it so heavy?"

Qin Qingzhou went over to help him pull the fishing rod, and slowly a dark shadow rose to the surface of the water.

"Come down and keep me company..."
