It was a snowy night.
Snowflakes fell on the white monastery's roof, making the building appear bloated.
The identity of a patrol officer was quite useful; Su Lun easily knocked on the monastery's grand doors.
Thick snow also covered the courtyard, where pigeons cooed in their sleep up high.
A brown-haired nun received him.
"Officer Johnny, what brings you here?"
"There's been another murder on the streets, and I'm worried the murderer might have hidden in the monastery. May I come in and take a look?"
"Of course."
The brown-haired nun led Su Lun into the monastery.
Inside the main hall, there were no statues of gods, but rather the "Ouroboros" totem revered by alchemists.
Su Lun wanted to extract some useful alchemy knowledge from these nuns, but it was clear he didn't get what he wanted.
"May I know how many nuns are there in the monastery now?"
"Six."
"I need to ask a few questions to the others."
"..."
"Right, where is Sister Alice?"
