Ordinary observers in fast time travel

When the police arrived in Xinghua Village, the entire village was shocked.

"You're Village Chief He?"

Village Chief He was covered in cold sweat. His eyes swept over Shi Jia, who was standing behind the policeman, and he glared at her before saying, "Yes. May I ask what business you two officers have in our Xinghua Village?"

"We received a report that He Laizi and Li Xiaomei from your village illegally poisoned someone and broke into their home late at night with malicious intent. Where are He Laizi and Li Xiaomei?" the police officer asked.

"Uh, officer, is this a misunderstanding? They might just be trying to play a joke..." Village Chief He tried to smooth things over.

"Officer Li, the village chief is trying to protect He Laizi and Li Xiaomei," Shi Jia immediately interrupted the village chief.

Officer Li turned to Shi Jia and said, "Little friend, don't worry, leave this to us."

"it is good!"

"Village Chief He, please take us to find He Laizi and Li Xiaomei." Officer Li looked at Village Chief He, who wiped his sweat and nodded hurriedly.

They quickly found him at He Laizi's house. He was still fast asleep, and the strong smell of alcohol was awful.

"Splash!" A basin of water was splashed over, and He Laizi was jolted awake. He saw two police officers in uniform and Li Xiaomei standing next to him, and he was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. "Spare me! I didn't do it. It was Li Xiaomei, she came up with the idea."

Li Xiaomei's face changed drastically. "You're lying! I didn't do anything! Officer, you have to believe me! I don't know anything..."

"Pah!" He Laizi spat at her.

"Ah~" Li Xiaomei was so frightened that she quickly backed away, but she still couldn't help but vomit all over her body.

"It's you, you gossipy old woman, you shameless hussy..."

The two policemen exchanged a glance. They hadn't even asked anything yet. Had he already confessed without being questioned?
Shi Jia, standing behind, was also surprised. Did it go so smoothly?
Soon, the police pieced together the truth of the matter from the two men's verbal altercation, and then both were taken back to the police station.

Watching the four figures disappear into the distance, the village chief glanced at Aunt Hui, who was being stopped by He Shun and the others, and waved his hand.

He Shun hesitated for a moment, then let go.

Once Aunt Hui was free, she lunged at Shi Jia like a madwoman, yelling, "I'm going to beat you to death!"

Of course, Shi Jia wouldn't just stand there and let her hit her. The moment she lunged at her, she ran away. Instead of going home, she led Aunt Hui around the village until Aunt Hui was too tired to keep up.

She stopped and said, “Aunt Hui, I know you’re angry, but Li Xiaomei has been going too far lately and her moral standards are getting lower and lower. Before, she wanted to harm Fu Zhengqing, an outsider. Today, she wants to harm me, a fellow villager with the same surname. Perhaps, tomorrow she will harm her relatives and family.”

“You’re talking nonsense! Xiaomei would never…” Aunt Hui sat on the ground, glaring at Shi Jia.

Shi Jia shrugged. "Maybe, but before yesterday, did you think she would harm me? We had absolutely no grudges against each other, and we barely even exchanged a few words."

"She dared to harm someone like me who has absolutely no connection to her. Do you really think she's kind?"

Aunt Hui looked dazed. "No, no. Xiaomei isn't that kind of person."

Shi Jia shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the corner of the wall and the big tree, before turning and leaving.

After she left, a number of people emerged from behind the big tree and the corner of the wall. They looked at each other, and some of them advised Aunt Hui to think more positively.

Life quickly returned to normal, and the college entrance examination arrived as scheduled. With the announcement of the results and the distribution of admission notices, the village gradually became lively again.

He Laizi returned a week before the start of the university semester.

"Hey Lai Zi, where's Xiao Mei? Didn't she come back with you?" someone asked.

He Laizi shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't seen her since that day." While everyone was discussing what crime Li Xiaomei had committed, the police arrived again, this time looking for Shi Jia.

"What do you need me for?" Shi Jia asked. She didn't seem to have done anything out of line. Well, she just seemed to have a natural talent for herbs. That was easy to explain; an ancient book would suffice.

And she has already written it. And she guarantees it's old.

"Don't be nervous, there are some things they want to ask you," Officer Li said.

Shi Jia nodded. "Okay, let's go now."

"Ah."

This time, the police officers came by car. So, Shi Jia was lucky enough not to have to walk to town.

But she didn't expect that the car would drive all the way to the city police station.

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. What did Li Xiaomei say? Did she reveal her identity as a reincarnated person? And then dragged her into it too?

Is she crazy? Does she have any evidence? She dares to make baseless accusations!
But if that's the case... Shi Jia rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She really shouldn't have been sent to the police station.

Forget it, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with soil.

"Little sister? Are you feeling unwell?" A round-faced policewoman walked in and asked with concern when she saw Shi Jia rubbing her forehead.

Shi Jia shook her head. "It's nothing, thank you, policewoman." She took the water cup offered to her.

"It's alright, the boss will be here soon, just a moment." She turned on the room light and then closed the curtains. Afterwards, she checked the recording equipment in the room. Once she confirmed it was working properly, she took out a pen, signed her name in a notebook, and then turned to leave.

Watching this scene, Shi Jia became even more certain of her guess. Should they expose themselves?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, the little system sounded an alarm. 'Host, the people of this small world mustn't know we're outsiders.'

Okay, I understand.

She had only thought about it casually and had no intention of revealing her origins, even though Li Xiaohua might not return to her body in ten years. But during those ten years, she could only be Li Xiaohua, not Shi Jia.

Lost in thought, the door was pushed open, and two men walked in. One was a man in his forties with deep wrinkles on his face and a serious expression; he looked like a leader who cared deeply for his country and its people.

"Comrade Li, don't be nervous," said the older man. "Let's introduce ourselves first. I am Yan Yifeng, and this is Luo Mingyuan."

"Hello, Uncle Yan and Uncle Luo." Shi Jia gave a slightly awkward smile.

Yan Yifeng and Luo Mingyuan exchanged a glance. This kid's pretty clever. "Do you know why we called you here?"

Shi Jia looked bewildered. "I don't know. I just came back from the herb field when Officer Li and the others arrived. I didn't do anything."

Yan Yifeng nodded. "Don't be nervous. Answer a few questions for us first."

"Yes, yes, I will answer seriously and I won't lie!" Shi Jia nodded vigorously, trying her best to express the word "sincerity".

"Okay, then let me ask you, where did you go around September 10th-13th last year?" Luo Mingyuan opened his notebook, glanced at it, and asked.

Shi Jia was a little confused. "Huh? September 10th last year? I don't know, I can't remember."

September 10th? That wasn't the day Li Xiaohua died. No, it was the day she fell off the cliff, was injured, and accidentally connected to the dimensional management system. (End of Chapter)
