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

"Uncle Zhizhi." Teacher Xiaoyang waited for Qin Qingzhou at the classroom door.

It's not yet time for the first grade class to leave school, so the children are all staying in the classroom, looking at Qin Qingzhou through the windows with starry eyes.

Wow, Zhizhi, your uncle is so handsome!

"Isn't this the police officer uncle you were talking about?!"

"You look like a big star, even more handsome than a big star! My mom loves watching celebrities, can I get your uncle's autograph?"

Bai Zhizhi, eager to help her uncle, said, "No, my uncle is very busy and doesn't have time to sign autographs."

No one outside could hear what was being said inside. Qin Qingzhou stood there looking handsome and indifferent, but in reality, he was being scolded by the teacher.

"A child's environment is really important. She's such a young girl, and she keeps talking about death all the time. This will have a huge impact on her physical and mental health."

"And today, Zhizhi was actually teaching the first-grade children to draw talismans! These children don't know anything, but they're just following along. If other parents find out, our kindergarten will be in big trouble."

"Uncle Zhizhi, I know you're a policeman, and policemen don't believe in metaphysics. I'd like to ask who Zhizhi learned it from? We can't let her learn this kind of thing randomly anymore. If it wasn't taught by a relative, please take Zhizhi away from it as much as possible."

"I'm sorry." Qin Qingzhou nodded.

He can't exactly say that Bai Zhizhi already knew it, can he?

"Let's take Zhizhi home first. When you get back, don't be too harsh on Zhizhi. Children often don't understand; it's the adults who guide them. Just stop it."

Teacher Xiaoyang opened the door and called out in a high-pitched voice, "Children of Class 1, line up, it's time to go home!"

A dozen or so little bundles of milk moved quickly around the classroom and lined up in no time, not wasting a single moment of their journey home.

Bai Zhizhi, Xingxing, and Xie Guan stood together, waiting for the group to slowly move out. Bai Zhizhi took the opportunity to pull Qin Qingzhou along with them.

"The teacher said you taught other children how to draw talismans today. You shouldn't do that, you know?"

Bai Zhizhi didn't listen at all and was still chatting passionately with her friends.

Xie Guan: "How can I grow as tall as your uncle? Do I have to eat a lot?"

Bai Zhizhi: "Yes, Uncle always eats a lot!"

Star: "Then Star also needs to eat a lot of food and be as tall as your uncle."

Xie Guan: "Would your uncle win a fight against Ultraman?"

Bai Zhizhi: "I don't know, but my uncle can beat up ten big bad guys at once."

Qin Qingzhou said softly, "Don't tell anyone that you can draw talismans. It's a secret, understand? You can't talk about the case with anyone else anymore... Bai Zhizhi, did you hear me?"

Bai Zhizhi snapped out of her daze: "Oh? Oh! I heard that, Uncle."

It's obvious that it went in one ear and out the other.

Qin Qingzhou had no choice but to remain silent in the end.

Because he was suddenly called over by the teacher, and Qin Qingzhou still had some things to take care of at the bureau, he planned to take Bai Zhizhi back to the bureau first.

As soon as I entered the police station, I saw Guan Song rushing to the backyard.

Qin Qingzhou told Bai Zhizhi to go play by herself, so Bai Zhizhi followed him to the backyard.

"Woof!"

"Afu!"

Afu, whom Bai Zhizhi hadn't seen in a long time, appeared in the backyard, and Bai Zhizhi excitedly ran over and hugged its head.

Since being bitten last time, Afu has been sent to the vet for treatment and only returned today.

It had some unhealed wounds, wore an Elizabethan collar, and the wounded areas were bare.

"Ah Fu, Zhi Zhi misses you so much!" Bai Zhi Zhi kissed and hugged Ah Fu.

"Waaah! (Afu wants to know too!)" the big black dog whimpered.

Guan Song stood to the side, unsure whether he should tell Bai Zhizhi the truth.

Just then, the bureau chief arrived. Director Guan Songchong nodded slightly: "Bureau Chief."

Bai Zhizhi quickly stood up as well: "Uncle Director~"

Guan Song looked somewhat disappointed: "Do we really have to do it your way? Afu has done a lot of good work, and this time it wasn't its fault..."

Bai Zhizhi secretly observed the expressions on the two adults' faces.

Is something wrong with Ah Fu?

The bureau chief admitted he didn't want to either: "There's nothing we can do. The online public opinion is too strong, and Afu is indeed overprotected, which doesn't meet the standards for police dogs."

"According to police dog standards, police dogs with proactive aggression should no longer be kept. I applied for a reduction in responsibilities for Afu because of its many merits, so that we can find it a good home. It deserves a rest."

"Director!" Guan Song tried to salvage the situation.

Bai Zhizhi was also getting anxious: "Uncle Guan, what's wrong with Afu?"

"Afu bit that dog from last time in excessive self-defense. You won't see it anymore; we're going to give it away."

"No!" Bai Zhizhi grabbed the dog's head and wouldn't let go no matter what. "We can't send Afu away! Afu is Zhizhi's friend!"

"Knowing this, you're good."

"No, no! Waaah!" Bai Zhizhi cried.

Afu didn't understand anything, but it sensed that the little human seemed unhappy, so it became unhappy too, drooping its tail, and the two little ones sat there sadly.

The bureau chief tried to pat Bai Zhizhi's head, but she slapped his hand away.

Looking at the red marks on his hand, the police chief said helplessly, "Zhizhi, the police station has its own regulations. Afu did do something wrong, but don't worry, we will find Afu a good family, and Afu will live a good life in the future."

"If it doesn't work, don't know it's wrong!"

"Let Zhizhi raise Afu! Let Zhizhi raise him! Zhizhi will raise Afu very well!"

"This..." The bureau chief wiped his brow. "Little Zhizhi, raising Afu isn't something a kid like you can decide..."

"Then what Uncle said is true!" Regardless of whether the director agreed or not, Bai Zhizhi ran back to his office and pushed open Qin Qingzhou's office door.

"Uncle, uncle! Something big has happened!"

The little girl hurriedly tried to pull Qin Qingzhou away, but upon closer inspection, she noticed that there were still wet tear stains on her face.

What's going on? Who's bullying Bai Zhizhi?

How dare someone bully Bai Zhizhi in broad daylight at the police station?

Qin Qingzhou quickly followed her to the backyard.

"Uncle's word is law! Zhizhi must raise Afu!"

Qin Qingzhou: "?"

The bureau chief explained the current situation with a sense of helplessness.

"The bureau chief is a big bad guy. He wants to send Afu away. Zhizhi doesn't want Afu to leave." Bai Zhizhi pouted aggrievedly.

Qin Qingzhou sighed, patiently got down, and looked at Bai Zhizhi.

"Do you really want to raise Afu?"

Bai Zhizhi's eyes were wet, and she nodded weakly.

"Afu eats a lot and gets a lot of exercise, and now it's sick and needs careful care. Are you sure you can take good care of it?"

"Zhizhi is good... Zhizhi has money, Zhizhi can buy delicious food for Afu, Zhizhi can play with Afu, and Zhizhi has knowledge, so he can help Afu get treatment."

If Qin Qingzhou really did raise Afu, then this would undoubtedly be the best choice.

Moreover, Qin Qingzhou thought about it carefully. He was usually busy and didn't have time to accompany Bai Zhizhi. It would be good if Bai Zhizhi had a companion. Afu could also protect Bai Zhizhi when he was not around.

Fine.

Qin Qingzhou looked at the bureau chief.

"Bai Zhizhi and I came to adopt Afu."
