The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1665: Asking a Child Questions

The anatomy teacher stared in horror, her already lifeless, white-dominated, small gray dead fish eyes rounded. Such a glare can be quite frightening, but Little Taotie was long immune to it. Having seen even uglier ghosts, this recently deceased one, aside from the unattractive eyes, hadn’t changed much.

"Did you see it?" Lou Lan glanced around, her voice growing more serious: "Here?"

Little Taotie nodded, pointing in the direction of the ghost, "Right here."

Lou Lan nodded thoughtfully.

Lou Lan also engaged in some forensic work, but the special department rarely troubled her. Instead, other departments often sent over some hard-to-decipher cases, delivering bodies for her examination.

To better understand the human body, she didn’t refuse, proceeding with dissections and providing answers.

The reason the special department seldom approached her was mainly because there were many people with Yin Yang Eyes within the department. In fact, those who entered the department with this special ability accounted for more than half of it. However, the abilities of each pair of Yin Yang Eyes vary.

Among them, about one-third can communicate with ghosts.

The simplest way to discern the truth of a case, without disrespecting the deceased through dissection, is to have a superpower user with Yin Yang Eyes question the ghost to uncover the truth.

Yet Lou Lan always maintained a reserved attitude towards this process, because not every ghost "speaks kindly after death." There would still be some naturally wicked ones who, even in death, want to drag others down, speaking seemingly true yet misleading words to frame people.

Lou Lan has always wanted to change the department’s reliance solely on special abilities while neglecting skills. She believes that the true truth isn’t singular; it should involve questioning the ghost first, then dissecting the corpse to analyze whether the ghost lied, ultimately arriving at the most reliable answer.

However, she has proposed this multiple times, only to be vetoed by Shen Cang.

Shen Cang always felt that once the answer was obtained from the ghost, the next step is investigation. Whether the ghost lied could be discerned in the follow-up investigations without unnecessary "interference" with the corpse. Most superpower users who see ghosts live with awe and reverence, a portion holding idealistic rather than materialistic beliefs.

Moreover, many among them are believers who see such behavior as lacking merit.

Lou Lan suddenly became curious about what is considered right in a child’s eyes? Should one listen to the ghost and solve the case directly, or dissect after hearing from the ghost to obtain more genuine information before solving the case?

Ghostly guided, Lou Lan blurted out her question.

Little Taotie blinked, her small head tilted, eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Seeing the young girl puzzled, Lou Lan laughed at herself.

What’s wrong with me?

If I don’t have an answer myself, why ask a child?

Just as she was about to abandon the question, Little Taotie spoke in her childlike voice, "Why should there be an absolute answer? Ghosts can be both good and bad, how can you trust the answers of an evil spirit? And the words of an evil spirit, not even ten out of ten are reliable! I think those pitiful vengeful spirits already have it bad enough, can’t dissect them anymore, as it might lead to their resentment towards the world peaking, possibly resulting in evil spirits because of resentment, and that would be bad."
