It was genuinely difficult to determine whether it was true or false. They hoped it was true, but they needed more evidence, so they simply summoned Mihoyo's employees—the people involved—to the police station one by one.
They spoke remotely and chatted with them. Although it seemed like a conversation between friends, they were still asking questions.
It was not an interrogation.
They were mainly trying to understand the situation and find out what had happened at the time.
They wanted every detail, without missing a single thing!
If that Little Griseo really was the character from the Honkai Impact 3rd series,
then when exactly had she appeared?
How had she appeared?
Why had she appeared?!
Was she really related to the National Luck Game?
These were the many further questions that followed.
Moreover!
That little girl had not contacted anyone else. The first people she had contacted were those from Mihoyo.
Although it was unexpected, it also made perfect sense.
It was entirely possible
that those Mihoyo employees had been silently protected by Little Griseo somewhere, without even knowing it.
China, of course, could not—and would not—persecute its own citizens over mere baseless speculation.
These employees were not even criminals.
If they were unwilling to talk... the nation would not force them.
Fortunately,
they were all quite cooperative.
Countless people online had questioned them.
They were holding their anger inside and wanted to prove themselves.
They were willing to cooperate with the nation. One person's account might not be accurate, but when an entire group told the same story, backed up by all kinds of evidence, it would be ironclad proof.
As long as the nation was willing to officially confirm the matter,
then no matter what anyone outside said, it would be meaningless. That would be the best response.
