Wu Fei: “…”
She wondered whether she should explain to her that she might have become weird...
Forget it, let’s not scare the ponies in this parallel world.
Seeing Wu Fei silent, Ma Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief.
"We just found out something!" She simply sat down on the floor opposite Wu Fei.
Wu Fei looked at her without saying anything.
"The staff in your haunted house, the faculty and staff in the campus scene," Ma Xiaoling said with a somewhat uneasy look on her face. "They must have died in a fire at Shengming Middle School twenty years ago!"
"Shengming Middle School..." Wu Fei quickly realized that it was the prototype of the campus scene.
She frowned and looked at Ma Xiaoling: "Did you find the information?"
Something is wrong.
Shouldn’t the old man and the others come from another world?
How come he really is from this parallel world?
Ma Xiaoling described the general situation, but was carefully observing the expression on Wu Fei's face.
A hint of surprise appeared on Wu Fei's face, but she didn't show much expression.
"Can you explain a little bit about them?"
Hearing Ma Xiaoling's question, Wu Fei raised her head and asked, "What do you want to explain?"
"If I say they are no longer human, would you believe me?"
Seeing the sarcasm on Wu Fei's face, Ma Xiaoling pressed her forehead with her hand: "What on earth do they have to do with your haunted house?"
Wu Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Can I find the detailed information from that year?"
"I can have someone give it to you, but..." Ma Xiaoling frowned and said, "Does this matter have anything to do with your killing for no reason?"
Wu Fei sneered: "How many times have I told you that I didn't kill him!"
Seeing Ma Xiaoling's expression of worry, Wu Fei said, "Let me see the information first."
Soon, a police officer brought over the complete information.
Wu Fei held the tablet and kept sliding the pages on it, frowning.
After reading the last page, she asked, "Is the original site of this school still there?"
“It’s now a large supermarket… but it’s facing imminent bankruptcy!”
Wu Fei chuckled: "With such heavy resentment concentrated there, how could anyone who comes later live in peace!"
After saying that, she returned the tablet to Ma Xiaoling: "But this matter has nothing to do with me. I can hardly protect myself!"
After saying that, she lay down and closed her eyes: "Can you ask someone to turn off the lights in my room when you leave?"
Ma Xiaoling looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then stood up and left.
He even asked someone to turn off the lights in the room.
As far as Wu Fei could remember, it seemed like she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
So, even though she was lying on the cold rubber floor, she fell asleep quickly.
Sleep without any burden.
Everyone in front of the big screen was speechless as they listened to her even snoring coming from the room.
Ma Xiaoling walked in: "Director Chen, I want to apply to let Wu Fei go out!"
"What did you say?" someone exclaimed. "She's a serious criminal who killed thirteen people!"
Ma Xiaoling said coldly, "If parallel worlds really exist, then the murderer is most likely someone else!"
The police officers in the conference room raised questions one after another.
But the middle-aged man sitting in the center waved his hand and looked at Ma Xiaoling: "Tell me the reason why you asked her to go out."
When everyone heard the boss speak, they quieted down.
"I want her to cooperate in investigating the fire at Shengming Middle School!"
A middle-aged female officer next to Director Chen couldn't help but ask, "Ma Xiaoling, do you know what you're talking about? We're investigating Wu Fei's murder case right now. What does that have to do with the case from twenty years ago?"
"Then can you explain the true identities of those haunted house employees?" Ma Xiaoling asked sarcastically. "Could it be that they were originally unregistered residents and deliberately impersonated people who died in a violent accident twenty years ago?"
Female police officer: “…”
Although some of them were not convinced, many of them had the same idea in their minds just now.
Although it's far-fetched, it would increase their workload if they didn't think so.
Most people in the meeting room just wanted to convict Wu Fei as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the public.
If the arson case from twenty years ago is brought up again, who knows how violent the incident will be for the families of the deceased!
The female police officer quickly turned and looked at the middle-aged man beside her: "Director Chen, shouldn't we get Wu Fei to confess as soon as possible? The major media outlets are watching closely and want us to give an explanation to the victim's family as soon as possible..."
Director Chen waved his hand to stop the female police officer from speaking, and looked at Ma Xiaoling: "I'll give you three days!"
Ma Xiaoling's face showed surprise.
"Once the three days are up, regardless of whether Wu Fei pleads guilty or not, we will hand her over to the higher authorities." Director Chen said to Ma Xiaoling, ignoring the other voices in the meeting room.
Ma Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay!"
Wu Fei had a good sleep.
When I woke up, I was a little confused and didn't know where I was.
"woke up?"
Ma Xiaoling's voice suddenly came from beside me.
Wu Fei suddenly sat up and looked at the woman in front of her. After a few seconds, she remembered where she was.
"Eat, and when you're full I'll take you somewhere!" Ma Xiaoling handed her a hamburger and milk set meal.
Wu Fei swallowed her long-missed fried chicken burger and mumbled, "Send me directly to the detention center?"
Ma Xiaoling glared at her and said, "You keep saying you were wronged. Then go to the original site of Shengming Middle School and see if I can clear your name!"
Wu Fei stopped chewing and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. Suddenly, she smiled with a sour breath: "You are still the same Ma Xiaoling!"
Ma Xiaoling said seriously, "Don't try to flatter me. I just want to find out the truth!"
Half an hour later, Wu Fei changed into a simple sports outfit and got into an off-road jeep with four plainclothes officers including Ma Xiaoling.
After leaving the police station, we drove along the city's urban highway towards the northern suburbs.
Wu Fei had her hands handcuffed. She looked at the scenery outside the car window and sighed deeply.
Although this place looks exactly like her hometown, it is not the world she lives in.
After reading the information about Shengming School last night, she understood.
This is the parallel world where the first scene in her haunted house comes from.
Last night she had thought about how to convince Ma Xiaoling to let her investigate the truth of what happened at Shengming Middle School.
Her intuition told her that this was not a copy designed by Eve at all, but a reference for the copy designed by Eve, the real world.
Eve's plot is to let her enter this parallel world and have her sentenced to death as a murderer.
But Wu Fei felt that if she could find the root cause of Xiaoying's tragedy, and even resolve Xiaoying's resentment from the root, would the malicious campus copy be automatically disintegrated?
Then can she go back to the haunted house on the top of the snowy mountain?
