Jinghai Dream City 1, police station interrogation room.
Joyce sat handcuffed to a small table, while two police officers, one fat and one thin, sat down a few meters away.
"All right, let's first get a basic understanding of the situation." The fat officer tapped on the keyboard, entered a password, and accessed the Dream City information database.
Soon, Joyce's personal information appeared on the computer screen.
The two officers had initially been careless, but after glancing at the information, they suddenly frowned. Realizing that things were not as simple as they had expected, they looked at Joyce uncertainly.
"You found that my situation is complicated and different from what you expected, right?" Joyce sat there listlessly. "Please give me something to eat. Once I'm full, I'll tell you everything."
The two officers exchanged glances. The thin officer immediately got up and left. A moment later, he returned with a large boxed meal.
Rice, braised pork, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes would have made a decent meal in the real world, but such home-style food was terribly shabby in Dream City. Most people here lived on what was practically lobster at every meal. Fortunately, to Joyce, who had been rummaging through trash cans, this boxed meal was as good as a feast.
The handcuff on Joyce's right hand was removed. He picked up the spoon and shoveled the food into his mouth while the two officers carefully read through his personal information.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Another officer opened it, glanced at Joyce, then looked at his two colleagues. "Is this the one who robbed the gold shop?"
"Yes." The fat officer nodded. "We just brought him in."
"All right. The three victims he killed have already revived and come over. I'll take the victims' statements next door."
