Xu Yiyi left, and the police examined the room carefully. Before long, they discovered bloodstains on the bed.
"Sister Zhao, what's this?" Officer Zhang said, pointing at the bloodstains on the bed.
When Zhao Police Officer saw it, she immediately looked at Yan Dongxu, "How did this happen?"
"Don't get me wrong! It's not what you think. This is from Xu Yiyi kicking me and hitting my nose earlier. You can see my nose is still not healed."
Yan Dongxu stuck his own finger up his nostril, then took it out to show the officer.
As soon as he stuck it in, the blood that had just stopped began to flow again.
Zhao Police Officer: "..."
"Come to the station with me first. Zhang, go get the security footage from the residential committee." Zhao Police Officer motioned for Yan Dongxu to get dressed and go with her.
"Sister Police, don't arrest my brother, my brother is not a bad person." Yan Xinran walked over adorably and grabbed Zhao Police Officer's clothes pitifully.
"Don't worry, we're just taking your brother in for questioning. We won't arrest him."
Seeing such a cute, pretty little girl, Zhao Police Officer's heart melted.
"Waaa!!!"
Yan Xinran screamed, "My brother is not a bad person!"
Zhao Police Officer's scalp tingled. As someone without children, she didn't know what to do when facing this situation.
She hated it the most when little kids cried.
It reminded her of her two and a half year old little nephew, which was still a nightmare when she thought back to it now.
"Alright, alright, don't cry. I'll buy you a popsicle later." Yan Dongxu said contemptuously.
He knew his sister too well. Yan Xinran wasn't usually this clingy. And she was obsessed with trapping him.
Just a few days ago when he took his sister out for a walk, his sister had slapped an old lady's butt and falsely accused him.
He had almost gotten skinned by the old lady and was publicly berated for not behaving well at a young age.
The words "popsicle" seemed to have magic powers. As soon as Yan Xinran heard them, she immediately stopped crying.
She even had the idea of eating, and you couldn't find a trace on her face of her previous worry for her brother.
Zhao Police Officer looked at her in amazement. She didn't expect this little girl to be such a little actress despite her young age.
"Can you wait a minute? Let me get her something to eat and make some formula." Yan Dongxu asked embarrassedly.
"No problem, we're just investigating. If there are no issues we'll let you go back."
"If you're worried about leaving the kid alone, you can bring her along." Zhao Police Officer was very understanding.
"No need, kids are easy to please. It'll be fine if I step out for a bit."
"Once she's full, I'll just put on a cartoon for her and she'll watch it obediently all day."
Yan Dongxu was quite experienced in childcare. After all, he had raised his sister singlehandedly.
"So it's just you two siblings living here?" Zhao Police Officer asked.
She had looked around earlier and didn't see any belongings of elders.
It was a two bedroom apartment. One room for the sister, one room for the brother.
Yan Dongxu nodded.
"Yes, our parents passed away in a car accident a few years ago. I live with my sister and take care of her."
"I'm a live streamer. I stay at home usually, so I can accompany her more."
Zhao Police Officer was very surprised. Yan Dongxu was around the same age as her.
Not only was he shouldering the burden of making a living, but he also had to raise his sister. The pressure must be tremendous.
After making the formula, Yan Dongxu said he could leave.
They went downstairs. Zhang had already retrieved the security footage from the residential committee.
The few of them got in the police car and returned to the station.
Zhao Police Officer asked Yan Dongxu to carefully recall what happened last night, but no matter how he recalled it, his story remained unchanged.
Yan Dongxu told them everything he knew, the only thing he didn't mention was that he was a time traveler.
After taking his statement, Zhao Police Officer told him to wait.
She then went to the surveillance room to see if they had found any issues.
After all, there were too many wolves in sheep's clothing in this day and age.
She couldn't determine that Yan Dongxu was innocent based on his behavior so far.
"What's the situation? Did you find anything?"
Zhao Police Officer asked the colleague in charge of reviewing the footage.
"No abnormalities were found, but that in itself is the biggest abnormality."
Liu, who was in charge of the surveillance, frowned and replied.
"What do you mean?"
Liu pointed to the surveillance screen and said, "From yesterday morning until this morning, there is no footage of Xu Yiyi appearing at all in the recordings."
"Yan Dongxu came out twice. The first time he went to the supermarket at the entrance of the residential compound to buy a bottle of soy sauce."
"The second time he came out was to take out the trash. Then he didn't leave his home all day."
Upon hearing her colleague's report, Zhao Police Officer was confused.
"Did you pull up the footage from Xu Yiyi's side?" Zhao Police Officer asked.
"We did. Take a look,"
"Things are indeed as Xu Yiyi said, she returned to the hotel after filming yesterday."
"The road and hotel surveillance can prove she wasn't lying."
"And the footage shows she didn't leave her room all night."
"So there's no way to explain her appearance in Yan Dongxu's home this morning. What do you think, did Xu Yiyi really teleport?"
After reviewing the footage from both locations, all the police in the surveillance room fell silent.
They were all materialists. Facing such an outrageous incident left them greatly shocked.
"Is there a possibility that Xu Yiyi is just hyping this up? Doesn't she have a new drama coming out?"
Zhao Police Officer stroked her chin and guessed.
Liu shook his head.
"We can't rule out that possibility, but there are no flaws in this matter. It can only be described as freaky."
"Oh right, didn't upper management just set up a secret case file recently?"
"They said if we encounter cases we can't explain, to transfer the files over and specialists will come to investigate."
Zhao Police Officer sighed.
"That's just nonsense. We are materialists, how could we believe in ghosts and gods?"
"The people upper management sent to set up the files at the station were even more ridiculous. They said the files were specially created for abnormal people, and we must report similar cases promptly."
"Although most of us are new, we've been working for two to three years. Has anyone encountered these so-called abnormal people? Are there really people with special abilities in this world?"
On the surface, Liu and the others pandered to her words, but after Zhao Police Officer left, he complained to his colleagues in the surveillance department: "Hey, we didn't see any before, but aren't we seeing it now?"
"I can confirm the surveillance videos were not edited. Other than a freaking ghost, there's no other explanation."
"Also, haven't you heard, other provincial stations have already received bizarre cases."
"I heard some people really do have special abilities. Don't we need to broaden our horizons?"
Zhang smiled and said, "Alright alright, this is Sister Zhao's case. Let's not say too much more."
Returning to the interrogation room, Zhao Police Officer indicated Yan Dongxu could leave.
"Officer, have you finished investigating? Did you find anything?"
Zhao Police Officer laughed, "You're quite interesting. Not afraid we'll really find something and detain you?"
Yan Dongxu said unconcernedly, "I have a clear conscience, why would I fear suspicion? Besides, she appeared in my home uninvited. I should be the victim here."
