Zhouzhou could see spirits. She hadn't expected her older brother to see them too, though he hadn't opened his "third eye." Pondering this, Zhouzhou looked at Jing Bai with curiosity.
Qin Ren chuckled and patted her head. "It's different."
"How so?" Zhouzhou asked, blinking.
After a moment, Qin Ren explained, "It's not real 'talking.' It's using knowledge to investigate the cause of death. That's science."
Hearing this, Zhouzhou puffed out her cheeks, crossing her chubby little arms and glaring at him. This was science too, in her opinion! It was he who said so!
Adults just loved to lie to kids.
Amused by her expression, Qin Ren pinched her cheek. "Alright, I misspoke. You're both using science."
"That's more like it." Zhouzhou huffed, grabbing Jing Bai's hand. She beamed, "So, brother, we're colleagues now!"
The idea of being a forensic scientist sounded pretty cool.
