Volume Two, Section Forty: Two Sisters

"Sister, you became a police officer so young? That's amazing," Jiaming said, still lost in thought, as Lingjing walked to his bedside, speaking with great curiosity.

"Oh? Haha, you should call me Auntie. Am I still very young? What a good child. Auntie has always had a baby face, and I love it when people say I look young. Hehe, hehe..."

Looking at the fake policewoman's coy smile, Jiaming's expression twisted. If she was here with some ulterior motive, she seemed a bit foolish. Was she not a killer, but someone who had escaped from the psychiatric ward to cause trouble?

"Mhm, cough, cough. Then, little Gu Jiaming, first, try to recall everything that happened that night. We'll begin."

"Oh." Jiaming nodded.

"First, your name..."

"..." Jiaming's expression was also a bit blank. Could this woman also be a transmigrator? Pretending to be an idiot even better than he could? Seeing Jiaming's expression, the policewoman probably realized her question was redundant. Blushing, she explained, "Uh, well... that... this is a routine procedure. Anyway, you have to say it yourself. Alright, let's begin."

"Gu Jiaming."

Their questioning began from there. Although she seemed to be impersonating, the questions she asked were standard and she was very familiar with the procedure for police records. Her questions were also sharp, but even if she found the key points, she naturally couldn't extract any useful information from Jiaming.

"Mhm, since that's the case." After asking some crucial questions that needed investigation, the policewoman tapped her notebook with her pen. "Then there are just a few minor points to note, roughly..."

The following questions were purely trivial, leaving Jiaming baffled. Especially in contrast to her sharp questions just moments before, it created an immense disparity. Looking at the policewoman's flushed, excited face, Jiaming couldn't help but feel a strange sensation: this woman, was she enjoying the feeling of asking questions...

Was she really crazy?

While answering questions, Jiaming seized the opportunity when the policewoman was engrossed and asked, "Sister, are you also from Xinghui High School?"

"Uh, no, I study at Sacred Heart Academy..." Funded by foreign investment, it was named Sacred Heart, but in reality, it was a prestigious academy in Jianghai City. Hearing this, Jiaming covered his forehead, almost wanting to roar at the sky. The policewoman, Lingjing, and Shasha also froze in the hospital room.

Being tricked by a young girl for over an hour was humiliating!

"Uh, well... hehe, I'm actually doing part-time work today. Uh... the police station was short-handed today..."

As this high school student impersonating a policewoman was explaining, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open, and a policewoman who looked somewhat similar to her walked in. Upon seeing the girl by the bed, she roared in disbelief, "Mu Zhenzhen!? You... you actually stole my police uniform!"

"Ah, Sister, I saw you were too busy, so I came to the hospital to take the police report for you. I'm planning to go to the police academy anyway, so I thought I'd get some practice..."

"A small matter?" The policewoman's brows were furrowed, looking as if she was about to disown her own sister. "You call taking a police report a small matter? And you dared to steal my uniform! Do you know that impersonating someone by wearing a police uniform is illegal! And the gun, where did you get the gun?"

"It's the realistic toy gun you gave me for my birthday last time." Mu Zhenzhen shrunk her neck. "Oh dear, Sister, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again..."

"You won't dare! Take it off!"

"Huh? Here?" Mu Zhenzhen looked back incredulously at the four people in the room. Jiaming, who was about to drink water, spat out a mouthful of water. He then patted the wet spot on the bedsheet, trying to suppress his laughter. Lingjing and Shasha not far away were also red-faced, holding back their amusement.

The policewoman seemed to realize that this was not a good place to undress. Her imposing manner faltered for a moment, then she said, "What's wrong with here? Can't a few children watch you undress? It's one thing to wear it at home, but you dare to come out wearing a police uniform and deceive people!"

"But..." The high school girl clutched her collar. "Sister, I don't have any clothes to change into."

"..." The policewoman paused for a moment, then shook her head with disappointment, "Take it off when we get back. Let me see the report you took."

Mu Zhenzhen respectfully handed the report to her sister. A moment later, seeing her sister nod, she couldn't hide her joy. "Sister, how did I do?"

"Not bad, but what is all this nonsense on the last page? Anyone who reads it will think I wrote it, and that your sister has a crush on this Gu Jiaming!" She smiled and nodded at Jiaming on the bed, then looked sternly at her sister.

"Hehe." Mu Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue. "It's precisely because I knew the last part was useless that I wrote it on the last page. You can just tear it off."

After another exasperated glare, the policewoman walked to Jiaming's bedside. "Mhm, hello, little Jiaming. My name is Mu Qingqing. You should have seen me before. I went to the factory too. I was supposed to take your statement today, but since Zhenzhen has already asked you, there's no need to do it again. I just need to confirm a few things with you, okay?"

"Mhm." Jiaming nodded. Listening to Mu Qingqing repeat a few questions, it was merely a routine procedure. The statement she took was no different from what Jiaming had said last time. Everything was settled in less than a moment. As soon as she stood up, her kind smile immediately turned stern. She slapped her sister on the head. "Let's go home!"

"Ow, Sister, don't hit my head, you'll make me dumber."

"Can you get any dumber?"

"I'm so pitiful. Ever since Dad died, you've been abusing me. Once I get a brother-in-law, you'll probably kick me out to sleep on the streets."

"I used to be too nice to you..."

Chattering and bickering all the way, the voices of the "steamed" sisters, who had a very good relationship, gradually faded down the corridor. In the hospital room, Jiaming and the other two finally burst into laughter.

The day after the statement was taken, someone from the Yuechi family finally arrived. However, it wasn't one of Yuechi Xun's relatives, but a butler in charge of the family's business outside the city. He was reportedly very busy and had intended to transfer Yuechi Xun to a better environment for recovery, but Yuechi Xun refused. Therefore, he paid a large sum of money for the hospital to strengthen her care and nursing. According to his words, Ten'u Masanori was expected to arrive in a few days to take her back to Japan.

This arrangement did not surprise Jiaming. After all, in the original timeline, without his involvement, Yuechi Xun was tortured by that perverted old man for a long time before being rescued by Ten'u Masanori. The Ten'u family was a very important branch of the Japanese supernatural organization "Takama-ga-hara." Ten'u Masanori, as the eldest son of this family, later became engaged to Yuechi Xun because of this matter. However, Jiaming knew that there had never been any affection between them. After returning home, Yuechi Xun confined herself to her room. Eight years later, when Jiaming contacted the Yuechi family to prepare for Peiluojia's attack, she committed suicide by slitting her wrists in her room. Thinking back, that was also around the time of her engagement to Ten'u Masanori.

But in this historical trajectory, everything would naturally head in a different direction. What kind of future would that be?

It has nothing to do with me anyway. That night, Jiaming thought with peace of mind.
