Chapter 185: He’s Brave!
Your name?
Lu Yibei.
Age?
Almost fully nineteen.
In the inquiry room of the Peony Street Police Station, the expressionless young man behind the desk, after answering the policemans questions, some strange thoughts popped up in his mind uncontrollably.
In the past month or two, havent there been too many scenes like this?
Ive already visited hospitals, police stations, and mysterious organisations. Whats next? Wait, there wont be a next time! This will be the last!
The police officer frowned as he heard Yibeis weird answers and slammed his hand on the table.
Bang!
Be serious! Explain to me carefully why you were in there so that we can let you out earlier. Of course, if you want to stay, youre more than welcome.
Right, right He sat up straight and nodded. Continue, please.
Alright, the police officer shuffled through his notes. Tell me what you were doing between 3:15 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. inside the abandoned store.
Yibei grumbled. All he wanted to do was go back home and cook.
Half an hour ago
In the attic, Yibei knew that chasing a cat trying to avoid him was pointless. Even though he wasnt very human anymore, the cat proved to be much more nimble than he was.
He attempted to shoot the cat with his toy gun, but it easily dodged the charms.
Hearing that somebody was downstairs, he originally planned to stop chasing the cat and hide out in the attic.
However, the cat, as if it were trying to enact its revenge plan, began scratching its claws on the attic floor and meowing, as if it were trying to attract attention from downstairs!
He hurriedly pounced towards the cat, only for it to jump and land firmly on the coffin.
Meow!
The police officer then turned to management and checked for Yibeis information before returning back to the interrogation room.
You have to admit that Jiangli did a very reliable job forging information for Yibei. The certificates were all government-certified, and they were no different from actual, official documents.
Jesus Christ, kid! The police officer frowned as he sat back down. Eighteen stabs in the stomach? How are you even alive?
Ah, right.
Anyways, you can leave after contacting your family to come pick you up. Were done here for today.
There is no concrete evidence that Yibei was at the store to steal. At most, he was disturbing the public, but how could a young man who was stabbed eighteen times in the name of justice be suspicious?
Wait a minute, officer.
Whats the matter?
Well, he hesitated. There is no one else in my family right now, so
The police officers eyes widened as he flipped through Yibeis file, and only then did he see that both of his parents were deceased. He didnt expect Yibei to not have any other relatives.
Is there, uh, anyone else you can contact? You need somebody to come pick you up. Sorry, its the rules; I dont make them.
Ah, well, he muttered, thinking of the people he could contact.
Jumeng is definitely a no-go. Professor Ma is busy recovering. As for Shui
He hasnt heard anything from him lately, and he doesnt know where hes been fooling around. Perhaps hes on another business trip with a rich woman, and its not like he hasnt done that before.
Jiangli.
Can I call my boss? She can come pick me up.
If she came, then there would be no problem, and he would be able to tell her about the situation in the attic. Two birds with one stone!
Ten minutes later, in Office V of the Night Division.
Jiangli sat at her desk, not playing mahjong for once. She was carefully reviewing the documents regarding the 20 urban legends that she has dealt with this past month until the phone on her desk suddenly rang.
Hello? Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration what? Is he in the police station? For trespassing onto private property to catch a stray cat? I understand. Ill be there in a moment.
