Chapter Seven, Li Xue

You have truly made a mistake; I have never even lit firecrackers, let alone set the street on fire

"Sister?" The woman's eyes twitched slightly, but she did not hold it against Han Fei: "I was involved in a fight; I broke someone's nasal bone and kicked a few ribs of two other people. The situation was quite urgent at the time, and I didn't think too much about it."

Han Fei has always communicated very little with others. However, after playing "Perfect Life," he has become more talkative, perhaps this is a moment of fleeting brilliance

"Did he comfort you yesterday?" Zhang Xiaotian swiped to the last page of the text message: "You see clearly, this elderly man passed away three days ago, and he himself has been buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city."

"It’s impossible! This old gentleman was comforting me at the thrift store yesterday, telling me to pull myself together. Are you sure you have the right person?" Han Fei repeatedly checked the information and images on his phone.

The body was destroyed and the ground was scorched, even if there were any evidence, it is likely that it has long turned to ash

The woman sitting at the innermost part of the interrogation room has an astonishingly good figure. She has not raised her head the entire time, clearly engrossed in playing on her phone, yet it seems she is fully aware of everything happening in the room.

The citizen information system is infallible, and Han Fei stared blankly at the gray portrait of the elderly man on the last page

Are you really that capable of fighting

What problems can I have? After working so hard to finally get a chance to be in the spotlight, I ended up being pushed out by someone with connections; I was looking forward to relaxing, but then... Han Fei recalled his experiences from last night, and he felt that it was a miracle he was still alive: "I won't say more, I used to believe that when God closes a door on someone, He will always open a window for them, leaving a glimmer of hope.

I feel that God has not only sealed all my doors and windows, but has also placed a ghost in my room

I feel that he did not deceive you; rather, it is you who are deceiving us. " Zhang Xiaotian swiped his phone, revealing the subsequent message: "This old man is a gravekeeper in the new suburban area of Shanghai. His parents passed away early, and he has no children or relatives. If one must speak of family, then his family should be the hundreds of nameless lonely graves in the suburban cemetery.

"Do not slander me without evidence. I am not like you criminals; I am here to assist the police in uncovering the truth. This arson case is not as simple as it seems; there are other hidden forces at play." Only two types of individuals are allowed into the police station's interrogation room—police officers or suspects. Therefore, Han Fei did not think much of it; his mind was currently filled with thoughts about the game.

Take a good look, because once you go in, you won't have another chance. Although our country's Criminal Law only stipulates the crime of arson and does not have a specific provision for intentional arson, there is no upper limit on sentencing for arson crimes that cause significant losses. I heard you burned down an entire street; how could that not result in a life sentence? You are quite ruthless.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Han Fei arrived at the Happiness Road Police Station in the old city. Perhaps due to the fact that it was his first time riding in a police car, his lips were pale and his mental state was quite poor

Having personally visited the antique street and witnessed the completely burned-down area, Han Fei was utterly disheartened

The door opened, leaving Han Fei completely stunned: "Is it possible to do it this way?"

Generally speaking

"The puppet master?" The woman raised her head for the first time, as if she had discovered something amusing: "Indeed, burning down an entire street requires meticulous planning, with multiple ignition points occurring simultaneously to allow the fire to spread rapidly. However, the on-site surveillance captured nothing but you, making it feel as though you were deliberately set up to be the scapegoat."

Bang

"Too much talk only brings tears. Sister, what brought you here?" Han Fei walked over to the woman.

Is it good-looking

Stay honest and still

Zhang Xiaotian finished speaking and put away his phone. He and Zhao Ming turned to Han Fei and said: "Don't just stand there foolishly. If you truly did not commit arson, then come with us. We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty one go free."

The woman walked out confidently, and soon after, a furious shout was heard from the police station: "Li Xue! You are undisciplined and disorganized! This is getting more and more outrageous! I am going to call your superiors!"

Your reasoning is sound; that old lady's house definitely conceals a freezer. However, from a physical standpoint, she should not be the murderer, merely an accomplice in concealing the body. I suspect that the true killer is one of her family members.

Why is it me? Is it just because that old gentleman is my fan

It was a misunderstanding! Before Han Fei could finish speaking, the door to the interrogation room was closed: "You have truly caught the wrong person! The real murderer is someone else! I am also a victim!"

What is that old lady's name? I can help you look it up after I go out. The woman had a very serious expression, and she rarely believed Han Fei's words.

If you are in a hurry, then I will go out now said the woman as she stood up and kicked the door of the interrogation room

I input the physical appearance information of the character described by Han Fei into the database. He was very detailed, and I estimate that we will soon be able to compare and find results... Found it! Zhang Xiaotian looked at the face that appeared on the screen, and his expression gradually became strange. He placed his phone in front of Han Fei: "I simulated and compared the face based on the information you provided. Can you see if this person is the shop owner?"

What are you doing

Other people's fans send handwritten letters, chocolates, and pens to their stars, so why do my already few fans want to kill me

I can cooperate with you, but I hope to take a look at the antique street; I still find it a bit hard to accept. Han Fei's mind is now in turmoil, with all matters crowding together. He originally thought his life was already bad enough, but he did not expect there was still such a significant decline possible.

However, there is one thing you did not say incorrectly; he is indeed your fan and appreciates your brand of humor that is not particularly funny. He often plays your shows loudly at night in the cemetery, which has startled several passersby on multiple occasions. His civic record contains our incident reports.

The two individuals in the interrogation room seemed to have matched their codes, engaging in a lively conversation

Han Fei exclaimed upon seeing the elderly man on the screen: "That's right, it's him! He even said that his whole family are my fans! They especially enjoy my show!"

I feel the same way

It is a very simple logic, but what is there about you that is worth framing? A fly does not land on an unbroken egg, so there must be something wrong with you. The woman's intuition is very sharp, and her gaze is extremely piercing

Perhaps due to the shared experience of being lost souls, their conversation flowed smoothly, and Han Fei also attempted to articulate the events that had occurred in the game

She is not an ordinary police officer; at the age of 23, she joined the Criminal Investigation Team, Major Case Unit. Over the past five years, she has participated in the resolution of multiple major cases. However, due to repeated assaults on suspects and failure to adhere to regulations, she was disciplined and transferred away from the criminal investigation team. Zhang Xiaotian looked at the broken door lock and sighed: "On the surface, they say the police station needs to strengthen its criminal investigation capabilities and transferred her to bolster the team, but in reality, it is a punishment, moving her to the police station to perform basic tasks. Her superiors want to temper her temperament."

The woman recorded all the information on her phone: "Please add my account, and we will communicate via mobile from now on"

Finally, he has encountered a person of understanding. Han Fei originally had no particular fondness for that woman, but up to this point, she is the only one who has spoken on his behalf

"Stop shouting, don't you have any awareness of your own criminal intent?" A woman's voice echoed in the interrogation room

Han Fei turned his head to look back, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of black half-calf Martin boots perched on the table in the calling room, followed by a pair of long legs clad in black skinny jeans

Although I am not aware of the actual circumstances, I feel that you seem to be having a rather difficult time

Thank you for your help, but I am in urgent need of assistance. When do you think you will be able to go out?

I will go report to Captain Wang about the work, Xiaotian, you keep an eye on him. After Zhao Ming left, Zhang Xiaotian instructed Han Fei to enter the interrogation room first. In his view, the arsonist Han Fei himself poses a significant danger and must be isolated from others

What about now

The elderly woman is named Meng Shi, probably in her seventies, with a head full of silver hair and a slight shoulder imbalance. She also has a grandson named Chen Chen

Hearing the voice of that middle-aged man, Han Fei began to understand: "She is a police officer?"

Zhao Ming returned to the room after finishing his phone call and found Han Fei and Zhang Xiaotian desperately scrolling through their phone screens
