Chapter 447: Chapter 320: The Past and the Present_2

Ye Xi furrowed her brows in deep thought, and suddenly, she blurted out!

"Just like! A police officer!"

"...Me? A police officer?" Six still looked confused as he pointed to himself, "Was I a police officer before?"

"That, I’m still not sure of, but it’s pretty close," Xiao Yi continued, "Then, about your past, there’s a second clue, and that is..."

Xiao Yi then looked towards Wei’er and softly said:

"Wei’er once said that everyone here was brought here by her, and the reason she captured us... was because we are connected to the Eternal Life Plan from twelve years ago. That means... Six is connected to the Eternal Life Plan, and Wei’er... knows Six’s past."

"Really?" Six quickly turned towards Wei’er and asked, "Do you know my past? Then, could you please tell me, what was I like before? Please!"

"..." However, Wei’er just gave Six a complex look and then averted her gaze, unwilling to meet his eyes, and remained silent.

"...Don’t want to talk?" Six then hung his head in disappointment.

"Choosing to be silent?" Xiao Yi said, "Is it because you can’t think of a good reason and feel that speaking might lead to mistakes, so you choose silence?"

"But, your silence itself has already revealed a lot..." Hart also frowned, "It seems... what Xiao Yi said is all true. You are not the real culprit. Is there a hidden truth to this matter?"

"...I, Regret," Wei’er finally spoke up, glaring at Xiao Yi with a resentful whisper, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought you here..."

It seemed that Wei’er was aware she could no longer keep things hidden; she helplessly complained and then continued to remain silent, not saying another word.

"From her reaction, she doesn’t plan to reveal any information," Hart asked Xiao Yi, "What should we do? Should we interrogate her harshly?"

"No, there’s no need for that..."

Xiao Yi shook his head; he could tell that mere questioning would be ineffective with Wei’er’s resolve.

To her, life itself probably didn’t matter anymore.

So, at this stage, Xiao Yi could only rely on his own deductions.

"But..." Hart asked, "Since Wei’er won’t speak, how should we proceed with our investigation? The question has returned to the beginning - who... killed Lin Huixue? However, all the clues so far point directly to Wei’er; it seems unlikely there could be anyone else."

"Not necessarily..." Xiao Yi pointed toward Hart’s hands and said, "We still have an unresolved clue... look at your hands."

"My... hands?"

Hart was puzzled, wondering what clues his own hands could hold, and then somewhat doubtfully looked at his palms.

"...Ah." Suddenly, Hart found dried bloodstains on his fingers, "Bloodstains? They were found in this room... Wait! If Wei’er was the one who murdered someone, then where did these bloodstains come from? She should have killed the person in the hallway!"

"Exactly..." Xiao Yi nodded, "Even if Wei’er was fast, she only had so little time. Based on timing, she could only have had time to kill Lin Huixue in the hallway, not to drag her into a room. Besides, since she had already decided to use a serving cart to transport the body, there was no need for her to drag the body into a room."

"Then..." Hart asked, "If there’s clearly not enough time, why are there bloodstains in this room? The timing doesn’t add up at all."

"Unless..." Xiao Yi said, "someone had already been waiting in this room and dragged Lin Huixue inside to stab her as she passed by. That would make the timing correct."

"Someone had been waiting here?" Hart frowned. "That means, your deduction has returned to our original conjecture, that is, the possibility of someone other than us committing the crime."

"Well... However, to figure out who else might be involved, we currently have no clues. And the only clue is... Since this series of events is undeniably connected to the mysterious particle known as ’Time Vibration,’ we must also figure out... what exactly is ’Time Vibration,’ or rather, what properties it possesses."

Fortunately, compared to before, Xiao Yi now had a way to learn about Time Vibration.

Xiao Yi immediately looked at Ye Xi and asked:

"Ye Xi, you mentioned it just now, didn’t you? Your sister told you something about Time Vibration. What exactly was it?"

"... Eh? My sister?"

Ye Xi’s expression changed slightly, and sadness rose in her heart when she mentioned her sister. Nonetheless, she nodded vigorously and replied:

"Yes! I know. If this can help!"

Then, Ye Xi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and while recalling those cherished memories she’d never forgotten, she slowly began to speak:

"My sister... at first, she was very happy because she could help our mother and earn money. She was proud that she was making money at a young age. Moreover, her job was neither dangerous nor exhausting, but rather... it was fascinating, so she was willing to participate."

"Interesting? The experiment was interesting to her?" Hart voiced his confusion.

"Um..." Ye Xi nodded and continued, "My sister once told me that the contents of the experiment were fascinating; she only had to stay in one place to travel to many interesting and beautiful locations and meet people dressed in strange clothes, some even like characters from historical dramas.

She could talk to them, and though the language was different, they communicated through gestures, and she was still delighted. My sister also mentioned she saw a drunk man singing a song like reciting poetry, trying to grab her, and then accidentally falling into a river, which she felt guilty about for a long time.

As a child, hearing about all these things from my sister made me yearn to experience it, hoping that if I ever had the chance, I would engage with Time Vibration in experiments just like her... But back then, I never could have imagined that the experiment which brought so much joy to my sister... I’m sorry; I lost my composure."

Ye Xi sniffed, her voice somewhat choking up, clearly, even after so many years, the pain in her heart had not eased much.

Through this, Xiao Yi learned some information about Time Vibration.

Time Vibration could not only reverse time but also traverse the river of time, visiting the past and the future, communicating with people from different eras, and even... to some extent, interfering with history.

"..." Xiao Yi then asked, "Speaking of which, what was your sister’s name?"

"My sister..." Ye Xi immediately replied, "Her name was... Ye Lianyu."

"...Ye Lianyu? I know that name... Ah! The memories... they’re coming back!"

However, just at that moment, Six suddenly clutched his head again, as if he had recalled some of his own memories.
