“That… classic foreign criminal cases,” Xiao Jing said, making it up as she opened her eyes, “I borrowed them from the library. Shan Shan said they needed them for their extracurricular reading.”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Before the director could react, Comrade Xiao Jing grabbed Shan Shan and dashed into the office next door.
"This little well..." After a long while, the director slowly came to his senses and muttered, "What criminal cases is he looking at?"
"Want to be a criminal investigator?"
"Who wouldn't want to be a detective!" A young man nearby chimed in, adding, "But Xiao Jing is really something else..."
"They know someone in the FBI!"
"Ivory, what?" the director suddenly waved his sleeve. "Tell them to go back to where they came from!"
"We are a sovereign nation!"
...
"...Anyway, that's how it is," Jingran spent a few minutes explaining his forced time travel, then shrugged in a defiant manner, "I can't do anything about it."
Looking across at the other side, little Shan Shan's eyes were wide open, and it was hard to tell whether she was surprised or angry.
"What the hell? You really used the 'Toyama Yoruichi' account that I created to transmigrate?"
To be honest, even without speaking Japanese, hearing the pronunciation of this name still feels a bit strange.
Jingran gave a slightly awkward "hmm".
"Damn! No wonder everyone over there was saying I had the same name as a famous detective after I got there, and they were all giving me really weird looks..."
"No, wait a moment..."
Jingran realized something was wrong and raised a hand to signal.
"You wore this...this keepsake? You wore it again? It's allowed to wear it?"
“Yes!” Shan Shan said matter-of-factly, “This is my keepsake, why can’t I wear it?”
“I arrived at the transfer station first, and Kotaro-kun told me…”
"You even saw Kotaro-kun?!..."
"No, wasn't that what I called him, Kotaro-kun?..."
Things were getting a little chaotic.
What's going on? Can a single token be used to travel through time multiple times?
Or does it mean that one person wears it once, and then another person can wear it again?
That's not what Kotaro-kun said back then...
Looking at his mosquito-coil eyes, Shan Shan snorted disdainfully.
"I know, Kotaro-kun said that's what you should call him, so he told me to call him that too. Anyway, he's not used to calling him Taro..."
"Then, since you were accidentally transported during a system upgrade, that doesn't count. My transmigration slot is still valid."
"The problem is......"
As she spoke, the little girl began to grit her teeth, showing signs of becoming angry again.
"Because you've already traversed the world after the system upgrade, and I'm using the same token, I can still travel through it, but it'll still be the same world!"
"In other words, I'm in a world where you've already completed the mission!"
"I was wondering why, when I got there, Shinichi Kudo didn't ride the roller coaster, and he was engaged to Ran..."
"Heiji Hattori is miserably attending cram school, and his mother forbids him from taking on any more cases before graduating high school..."
"Hakuba Saguru and Kuroba Kaito were discussing going to England, to Cambridge..."
"What the hell is this?"
Yeah, what the hell is this? ...
Jingran was both surprised and amused.
So, those kids really do have a direction to move forward.
I couldn't help but ask, "What about Kudo? What are your plans after graduation?"
"Go to university, then take the civil service exam, and become a policeman!" Shanshan said angrily, then turned and glared at him.
"Such a handsome guy, why did he become a policeman! Tell me, is it because of your influence!"
It seems... that's really true...
Jingran scratched his head, unsure how to answer.
"...But what's wrong with being a policeman?"
"What's wrong with it? Just look at my dad!"
Shanshan hadn't finished speaking when the commotion outside started again, and she wondered what had happened.
Without even saying hello, Jingran darted out the door.
At the reception desk at the main entrance, an old woman was clapping her hands and kicking her legs, crying and saying that she had been cheated out of her money.
Upon further questioning, it turned out to be the most common type of scam.
A conman impersonating a fortune teller claimed that the old lady's family was facing a bloody disaster and asked her to pay money to avert it.
The old woman secretly took the only few thousand yuan in cash from her family, and the swindler also promised to help her perform a ritual to ward off disaster.
But as soon as she turned her head, the old lady realized something was wrong and quickly ran to the police station to report the case.
Because of her emotional state, she cried so hard that her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
The director took the lead in calming the elderly man down and then asked about the swindler's appearance. Several young people from the station immediately set off.
Since they're using this kind of rhetoric to deceive people, and haven't been caught yet, the scammers will probably continue to operate in the vicinity, looking for their next target.
Jingran didn't know if it was luck brought by his time travel, but after turning around a few buildings, he saw a figure.
If you hear a shout and run away as fast as you can, then you've got it right.
Comrade Xiao Jing immediately gave chase...
Only then did he realize that his physical abilities had returned to the normal level before he traveled through time.
In other words, he's not bad compared to his peers, but he can't outrun a well-trained person.
That scammer, I don't know if he's a purse snatcher or a phone thief before, he ran faster than a ghost!
Jingran immediately got angry and ran, panting heavily, without missing a single step.
I watched as that guy ran out of the residential area and crossed a small road.
Jingran was slightly relieved to see the direction he ran in. Just as he was about to catch his breath and shout, he saw two people coming from the other side of the road.
