Chapter 31
police?
"It's Zhao Ping. He brought the police here! But he seems different from before..."
Pei Zhao was stunned. Only then did he remember the "good things" he had done in the other world. Thanks to Zhao Ping, who reminded him to go back and find Zhou Yuli.
At that time, he heard from Zhao Ping's words that he was from the real world, sneaked into another world, and let Zhao Ping from the other world replace him in the present world.
Pei Zhao analyzed that, Chen Lan and the wedding dress puppet, the wedding dress puppet should be from the real world, while Chen Lan is from another world.
This is inferred from Sudi's reaction.
Sudi should be the native puppeteer of the world they are visiting this time. He has been to this world and took away the wedding dress puppet. This caused Chen Lan in the other world to become a puppet - so because they exist at the same time, when a person becomes a puppet, he or she has a brief opportunity to move freely.
And because he brought Chen Lan, who had turned into a puppet in the other world, back to this world, he completed his puppetization mission and returned to the real world.
It’s really complicated…
Pei Zhao pressed the solar plexus.
So this Zhao Ping should be the person who smuggled into another world. But... the police can't do anything about this, right?
"Let's go and take a look first." Pei Zhao felt a headache, so he held Zhou Yuli in his arms, put on a coat to cover Zhou Yuli, and followed Lan Ji back to the store.
At the gate, Bai Zhou sat on the steps with his legs open, stopping the policeman and Zhao Ping who were about to enter the store.
"What you're doing is illegal!" Zhao Ping's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.
Pei Zhao glanced at the sky. It was only six or seven in the morning at most. It was dark when they came back yesterday. If they came to cause trouble at this time... Zhao Ping might not have slept all night.
"Whether it is illegal or not is up to you to decide with your bare mouth?" Bai Zhou obviously didn't fall for Zhao Ping's threats. He sneered, "Our shop is operating legally, but you came to cause trouble before dawn. Uncle police, I'm going to call the police to arrest him for disturbing the public."
After this period of study, Bai Zhou has become familiar with urban laws.
In fact, his original country could not be considered ancient or European, but it was very different from modern cities.
The policeman looked embarrassed. It was he who had taken over Zhao Ping's case before. To be honest, he thought Zhao Ping was very gloomy and thought he had killed his wife. But it doesn't look like that today. Zhao Ping is as excited as if he has activated a super male gene.
And this puppet shop in front of me. It looks like it's run by a group of young people. After all, the people there look normal.
If Zhao Ping's wife hadn't really gone missing, he really wouldn't have wanted to investigate the case.
What is Zhao Ping doing with a puppet shop? Could it be that people can be turned into puppets?
However, as Zhao Ping's client, the police had no choice but to step forward: "We received a call from Mr. Zhao Ping's security guard, saying...you kidnapped his wife."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back the smile on Bai Zhou's face anymore. Finally, he tried to make up for it.
"…It's just some necessary cooperation with the investigation. I hope you can understand."
Bai Zhou's golden eyes moved, and the policeman stared at him with his eyes wide open.
Is this person... a mixed-blood? She is really beautiful.
Just when he thought Bai Zhou would embarrass him again, the young man in front of him actually got up from the ground and stretched: "Okay."
The policeman's eyes lit up, "Okay, then we can just go in and take a look..."
Just as he was about to take a step, he saw two more long legs in front of him. When he looked up, his eyes lit up again.
A beautiful boy with blue hair!
A beautiful boy with black hair!
One is European and soft, the other is Chinese and elegant. The police looked at Bai Zhou again, and there was also a European classic.
Is this a legitimate store? Is this not a gigolo club?
But the young man with Chinese appearance in front of him was their core figure. "Investigating us for no reason?"
The policeman's breath stagnated: "It's just a normal visit..."
Pei Zhao said, "Okay."
The policeman was stunned: Huh?
"You can go in," Pei Zhao pointed at Zhao Ping, "He must stay."
The policeman nodded hurriedly: "Of course, I can go in and investigate by myself. Mr. Zhao, please wait at the door for a while and I will give you an answer later."
After the policeman finished speaking, he looked at Pei Zhao again.
The young man just waved his hand, and immediately, the man with blue hair and golden eyes stepped aside, and the policeman went in happily.
Just after letting the police in, Zhao Ping wanted to follow, but Lan Ji and Bai Zhou blocked the door again.
Zhao Ping was furious: "Do you have any shame? You are doing this kind of business in broad daylight. Don't you know that these puppets are..."
"You are the shameless one." Pei Zhao was already in a bad mood, and Zhao Ping had simply walked into his trap. He took a step forward, only a few dozen centimeters away from Zhao Ping, and stretched out his hand, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You don't really think that no one can cure you, do you?"
Zhao Ping looked at Pei Zhao's hand, which contained a wooden acorn.
"This is..." Zhao Ping had never seen this thing before, but he felt inexplicably scared by the wooden acorn. His legs went weak and he wanted to run away.
"Escaping from the real world to the virtual world, I don't know what you are hiding, but I think it has something to do with your missing wife."
"Why would you rather lose everything in this world and go to another world? I guess... you killed your wife?"
"So you found another Zhao Ping to take the blame. You're afraid that one day someone will report the case and the police will really find you."
"But you didn't expect that Zhao Ping and Chen Lan in the other world were not married yet. When he came to the real world, the first thing he did was to find a wife--"
At this point, Pei Zhao sneered, "What do you hope the police will find? No, do you really think Chen Lan can move freely after becoming a puppet?"
"A man like you has the guts to kill his wife, so I hope you can stand firm when it comes time to pay with your life."
Zhao Ping fell to the ground.
He didn't expect that this seemingly young man in front of him could actually tell him everything he had done.
"Who...are you?"
Pei Zhao sneered: "I am, an ordinary puppeteer."
Zhao Ping: “…”
·
Zhao Ping was finally taken away by the police.
Although there was no strong evidence, Pei Zhao still said that he suspected the man had killed his wife to frame her. The police were skeptical, but he really didn't see anything useful. There were only a room full of puppets, and they all seemed to be made very delicately.
Pei Zhao said that they were willing to cooperate at any time. At this point, the incident of Zhao Ping escaping to another world finally came to an end.
Having not gotten a good rest the night before, Pei Zhao sat in front of the counter in a daze after seeing the police off.
Bai Zhou went to the morning market to buy food, while Lan Ji was preparing to open the shop.
Bai Zhou came back after buying food and took over what Lan Ji was busy with. Lan Ji washed his hands and went to eat, putting the extra portion on Pei Zhao's table.
Pei Zhao turned his head slowly.
"Eat something. If you're hungry, your stomach will feel uncomfortable." Lan Ji smiled at him.
Pei Zhao was distracted for a moment, "Have you always been like this?"
"Hmm?" Lan Ji looked at him while biting a bun and smiled, "Yeah, I feel like this world is great. He and I never thought that there would be such a day. Now when we think about it, it still seems incredible."
Pei Zhao nodded slowly.
I wonder if he and Zhou Yuli were as harmonious as they were before.
I don’t think so. Bai Zhou was so good to Lan Ji in every way that he didn't even want him to do the heavy work. Such a close relationship was normal, but he actually hurt Zhou Yuli.
His fingers paused and just happened to touch the scar on Zhou Yuli's face. His nose felt sore and he almost burst into tears.
Pei Zhao touched his eye sockets to cover up, then turned his head to the side and took a bite of the bun.
The buns should be delicious, but he couldn't taste anything.
"Zhao Zhao, do you want to go out for a walk today? For example, to a nearby park or shopping mall?" Lan Ji ate his breakfast slowly. When he turned around, he saw Pei Zhao still chewing on the first piece of bread. He knew that he was still thinking about Zhou Yuli, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic, "The store has been doing good business recently, and we have some spare money. Bai Zhou bought two mobile phones. Why don't we add each other's contact information when you bring your mobile phones over?"
Pei Zhao hummed, showing no interest.
Lan Ji was left with no other options and looked to Bai Zhou for help.
After Bai Zhou swept the floor, he mopped it again. There were still water marks on the ground that had not dried up yet. He opened the shop door and windows, and a breeze blew through the hall. After a while, the water marks gradually faded.
Bai Zhou walked over to Lan Ji and took one of the remaining buns in his bag.
"Let's take you back. You probably didn't get enough rest yesterday."
Pei Zhao indeed did not get a good rest. His dreams were filled with the scene of him beating Zhou Yuli. In his dreams, he said sorry thousands of times, but Zhou Yuli still left without looking back.
It was not until he woke up in the morning that he realized it was just a nightmare, but reality was not much better.
At this moment, he was extremely sleepy, his mind was fuzzy, and his vision was blurry. It seemed as if all my energy for the whole day had been sucked away by that guy Zhao Ping.
Pei Zhao agreed in a muffled voice, raised his foot to walk out the door, and his foot slipped.
Pei Zhao closed his eyes subconsciously, but the expected pain did not come. Pei Zhao opened his eyes and saw a magnified and delicate face in front of him.
Pei Zhao: "Sudi?"
Lan Ji\Bai Zhou: "Sudi?!"
The three of them said in unison, and then looked at each other with the same puzzled expression.
Bai Zhou: "You... also know Sudi?"
Pei Zhao: "Isn't he a puppeteer? Do you know any other puppeteers?"
Lan Ji: "...When we met him, he was not a puppeteer, but our high priest."
High priest.
Pei Zhao repeated the name silently. It sounded like it was related to some weird things, and he suddenly remembered that in the previous world, the City of Hall, everyone had their own superpowers.
Pei Zhao looked at Sudi: "What is your superpower?"
Sudi smiled: "Guess."
Pei Zhao's eyes lit up: "Resurrection from the dead?"
Sudi's eyes swept across the puppet in Pei Zhao's hand, and finally smiled: "I guessed wrong."
Pei Zhao was disappointed.
Sudi let go of Pei Zhao's hand, walked slowly into the store, and stood by the counter: "You have seen my ability, have you forgotten it?"
After he reminded him, Pei Zhao remembered that he had indeed seen Sudi's superpowers, but he had not thought about it in this regard at that time.
The first time I met Sudi was in a coffee shop. When this person appeared, all the sounds and people around him disappeared.
"My ability is to create a new space in the gap of time, but unfortunately, time is limited." Sudi said, "Of course you can also simply call it time pause."
