Police officer: "t_t" was rejected.
Knowing I'd be treated like this, I still feel really embarrassed!
The door opened again with a "whoosh!"
Linghu Lan's face was revealed. "I want to ask, if what I'm saying is true, what will you do after those people come out of the island? I mean, each of them has killed someone."
The two policemen looked at each other, their expressions growing even more serious.
"The court will take into account the actual situation on the island, but everyone will still be sentenced, with a maximum of death and a minimum of 25 years in prison."
Linghu Lan remained silent for a moment.
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
"In return, there is a clue that I think you can investigate. You once said that there is a population disappearance every ten years."
"good!"
"I would like to ask, what is the earliest recorded instance?"
"About fifty years ago."
"Continue to investigate along this timeline."
The two policemen exchanged a glance, and a glint of light instantly ignited in their eyes.
"How many years forward!"
Linghu Lan stared intently at them. "Go back at least five hundred years."
"Five hundred years??? Miss Mo, you..."
"I'm not mistaken, this is a wildly imaginative suggestion!"
With a "bang!", the door slammed shut again.
The two policemen stared at the suddenly closed door, a strange sense of trust creeping into their hearts.
Do you think you can believe what she says?
"I don't know either, but..."
"how?"
"I always felt that the survival game was real, that there really was such a twisted island, and that people would go crazy in it."
"...In any case, let's go back and report the situation first."
"All right!"
The two returned to the police station in a daze, and gave their report with uncertain expressions.
The entire working group was devastated upon hearing this report: You've spent the whole morning investigating, and all you got is a ghost story? And you're telling it to us as if it were the truth?
This is unbelievable!
"Don't rush to dismiss it. As we've said before, this case is inherently bizarre. People from different locations, with different identities and backgrounds, disappearing at the same time—it's a ghost story in itself. We must take Mo Yin's words seriously," the bureau chief, who had personally heard the report, quickly concluded.
"Yes! So, is what Mo Yin said true? If she is telling the truth, can we detain her and interrogate her?"
"No need!" The chief waved his hand. "Our target isn't Mo Yin; our target is the person manipulating the case. Mo Yin has already helped us a lot. For now, don't disturb her. If she really manages to get out of the island alive, then..."
The bureau chief extinguished his cigarette and said nothing more.
Everyone understood the second half: that was not something we could handle either.
Some people were unconvinced but did not argue, which gave the case a mysterious and supernatural feel.
A question has been raised.
"If we really want to investigate whether such a case occurred 500 years ago, our capabilities are definitely insufficient, and we need to seek external assistance."
"Please! Historians and writers, once you've chosen your candidates, I'll come to invite you personally."
"yes!"
...
Not long after.
An expert support group composed of renowned historians and linguists was established.
Every police officer involved in the case had a strange sense of time travel: our investigation had led us to people from ancient times, which could be called a legend in the police force.
