Ordinary observers in fast time travel

“Li Xiaohua, don’t pretend you don’t know anything. We have all the information we have about what you have done. It’s not something an ordinary little girl could do.”

"Furthermore, we have already checked your so-called found book, and there is no similar one among the existing ancient medical books!"

“Li Xiaohua, stop making excuses, you’ve already been exposed,” Zhou Tao said, staring at Shi Jia.

Shi Jia wondered, what expression should a little girl have in this situation? Cry loudly? Or argue fiercely?
If we followed yesterday's approach, crying would have been a good option. However, it clearly didn't convince them.

So Shi Jia simply stared in disbelief, completely bewildered.

She opened her mouth slightly, looking completely bewildered, as if she didn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

"Li Xiaohua, stop your clumsy performance!" Zhou Tao couldn't stand Shi Jia's reaction. It made him feel as frustrated as a monkey performing.

“Li Xiaohua, we understand perfectly well that you understand everything now,” Luo Mingyuan said. “You don’t need to be afraid. We mean no harm. We just want to understand the future through you. We also want to invite you to participate in building the future…”

Shi Jia stared at them for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally coming to her senses. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Everyone: "..."

A silence fell over the room.

"Comrade Xiao Li, do you still have any concerns?" Yan Yifeng asked slowly.

"Huh?" Shi Jia looked bewildered.

The officers frowned. They'd been police officers for over a decade, and they weren't afraid of tough criminals, because they always had ways to subdue them. Their real fear was that the other party wasn't a criminal, making it impossible to use extraordinary measures.

"Minister Yan, should we increase the intensity?" the long-faced man suddenly asked.

Yan Yifeng shook his head. "Mingyuan, is Old Madam Wu in the lounge?"

"Yes." Luo Mingyuan nodded and stood up. "Minister, I'll go and invite Grandma Wu now."

Yan Yifeng nodded, then looked at Shi Jia, "Comrade Xiao Li, we know you have many concerns that you can't tell us, so we invited your neighbor, Grandma Wu, to come and talk to you."

Shi Jia's eyes widened upon hearing this. These people were shameless. They couldn't do anything about her, so they went and tormented the old lady.

But did you think that would make me give in?

I am a mission taker, I came to this world through legitimate channels. I entered this body, and I am Li Xiaohua. No one can make me deny it!
The group watched Shi Jia with great interest, expecting her to admit it, but unfortunately, they showed nothing but surprise and a little nervousness.

Meanwhile, Granny Wu in the other room was very nervous. She was brought in by the police this morning, and her heart almost stopped. After finally calming down, she heard news about Xiaohua.

The police said that Xiaohua was hiding some information, something of great importance that would affect the country's development. She was completely confused.

"Xiao Hua?" As soon as the door opened, she saw the little child sitting in the chair. It was Xiao Hua, whom she hadn't seen for two days!
"Grandma! Waaah!" The moment Shi Jia saw Grandma Wu, she couldn't hold back and threw herself into her arms. She didn't pretend and let her emotions flow freely.

"Grandma's here, little flower, don't cry, be good!" Grandma Wu hugged the little girl tenderly, her eyes sweeping reproachfully over the people sitting on the other side. The latter felt uncomfortable being stared at, some touching their noses, some scratching their heads, and some turning their faces away.

After crying for a while, Shi Jia's aggrieved emotions finally subsided. She pulled Granny Wu to sit down on a chair. Then she glared at the group, her eyes full of accusation.

"Ahem, well then, Comrade Li, you and Comrade Wu chat for a bit, we'll come in later." Yan Yifeng stood up and gestured for everyone to leave.

Soon only Shi Jia and Granny Wu remained in the room.

"Grandma, what do they want with you?" Shi Jia asked, feigning ignorance.

"Sigh~" Granny Wu looked at Shi Jia, "Xiao Hua, tell Granny, do you have any secrets?" "No, I don't have any secrets." Shi Jia shook her head.

"Then why did they arrest you?" Granny Wu asked.

"I don't know either. They said it's very abnormal that I suddenly started collecting herbs. But I already told them that I found a book of medicinal herbs and that I was collecting herbs according to the pictures in it," Shi Jia said, feeling wronged.

"And another thing, it was Li Xiaomei! It was Li Xiaomei who told them I was some kind of reborn person, a time traveler!" Shi Jia said with a face full of dissatisfaction. "Who knows what a reborn person or a time traveler is! Li Xiaomei is so wicked, she not only harms people from other villages, but also people from our own! How could they believe her words!"

"Li Xiaomei? What's going on now?" Granny Wu looked completely bewildered.

So Shi Jia went through Wu Taipo's entire story from beginning to end. Finally, she complained, "Honestly, Li Xiaomei actually said I was already dead! If I were going to die, I would have died long ago! How could I be sitting here!"

Granny Wu was stunned. "Li Xiaomei is possessed by a demon?"

"Grandma, the teacher said there are no demons or ghosts in the world. I think she's just mentally deranged. Talking nonsense!" Shi Jia said angrily.

……

In the next room, several people peered through a small crack at the grandfather and grandson across from them.

"Could it be that Li Xiaomei is lying?" Luo Mingyuan asked.

“No, I should say Li Xiaohua is an amazing actress,” Ms. Zhong said. “She can talk nonsense without batting an eye, even in front of her closest friends and family.”

“But her expression looked very natural and flawless.” Luo Mingyuan frowned.

Suddenly, Zhou Tao said, "What if she wasn't acting?"

What if she wasn't lying?
Everyone fell silent.

Then all their work these past two days has been for nothing? They looked at Yan Yifeng, who said, "Let's continue to observe."

The grandfather and grandson didn't talk for long. After all, this was a police station, not a place for gossip. After venting their emotions, the two sat quietly.

The long-faced man brought up his previous idea again, "Minister, perhaps we can increase the intensity." If the soft approach doesn't work, we have to try the hard one.

"Don't say that again. She's not a criminal," Yan Yifeng said sternly, looking at the others. "None of you should have that idea either."

“Li Xiaomei is ruthless. Although she may indeed be a reincarnated person, she suffers from severe mental illness and personality defects. Everything she says still needs to be analyzed and verified. We can’t just take her words at face value!” Yan Yifeng said.

He didn't say that; it was mentioned in a document sent to him from above.

“Since we cannot determine whether Li Xiaohua is a reincarnated person, and she has not yet endangered others or public safety, we must not use any force against her. Do you understand?” Yan Yifeng said.

The group exchanged glances and nodded. "But, are we just going to let Li Xiaohua go like this? There are so many suspicious things about her."

Yan Yifeng shook his head. "Since there are doubts, let's continue the investigation."

"Yes!"

"Luo Mingyuan, take Li Xiaohua and Grandma Wu home. Remember to comfort them."

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
