Along the way, Chen Chichi and Ding Mu chatted a lot, ranging from school gossip to the history of the village, which helped Chen Chichi ease his anxiety a lot.
Walking back to the village, the lights in Ding Mu's house were indeed on. The two of them walked in quietly. Grandma Ding Mu was still making sophora bone ointment in the house.
Ding Mu was a little surprised when he saw this. In his memory, no one had lived in this house for many years, and his grandparents had died long ago.
In the darkness, Ding Mu accidentally stepped on a branch on the ground, alerting the old woman in the room.
Chen Chichi was about to run away, but Ding Mu chose to face the crazy woman who occupied his home head-on.
Grandma Ding Mu was stunned when she saw the young man's face in front of her and shouted:
"Grandson! I miss grandma so much."
After saying that, he hugged him, but was pushed away by Ding Mu.
"Who are you?"
Ding Mu's resistance was what Chen Chichi wanted to see the most. She didn't want to see that Ding Mu, who had just been on the same side as her, was really the grandson of that weird old woman.
It was obvious that Ding Mu did not recognize the grandma in front of him. When she was in a daze, Ding Mu added:
"This is my home, move out quickly."
"Grandson, you don't even remember that I am your grandma."
"Who is your grandson? If you don't leave, I will call the police."
Grandma Ding Mu couldn't resist him, so she had to stay with other villagers for one night.
However, as soon as she left, the sound of police sirens sounded at the entrance of the village.
The police who watched the surveillance video of Li Huixi's murder arrived.
"Police? Just let them take you back to the city."
Ding Mu looked at Chen Chi Chi tenderly, and as he spoke, he planned to take her in the direction where the siren came from.
Being able to return to the city should be the best news for Chen Chichi, but the only problem now is that Li Huixi and Fox are still missing, and she will never leave them alone.
But before the two of them could leave, there was a knock on the door of Ding Mu's house, and a strange man's voice came from outside the door:
"Hello? Is anyone at home? We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are investigating a murder case. Can you cooperate?"
"Murder?"
Ding Mu was still out of the situation, while Chen Chichi thought of the bride immediately.
No matter what, Ding Mu opened the courtyard door, checked the IDs of the two policemen opposite, and let them in.
One of them, Chen Chichi, felt a little familiar.
"I am a police officer from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. My surname is Song. This is my colleague."
"Officer Song?"
Chen Chichi blurted out the title. She had never experienced the incident in the previous world. She didn't know why, but she felt that the person in front of her was kind of friendly.
Officer Song opposite him also felt that the phrase "Officer Song" sounded like it was shouted by an acquaintance, but he didn't know Chen Chichi in this world.
"By the way, you mean a murder case? Will there be another murder case in our village?"
Ding Mu looked at the two police officers in front of him with some confusion.
Officer Song directly took out a picture, which was exactly the face of Li Huixi.
After Chen Chichi took it, he couldn't hide the shocked expression on his face. Officer Song's intuition was very keen and he subconsciously asked:
"You know her?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
"She got lost here. Can you take her back to the city?"
Officer Song was about to open his mouth to accept Ding Mu's commission, but his colleague suddenly interrupted the conversation of several people:
"You got lost here from the city? How did you get here!"
Chen Chichi didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, it was fine to deceive the villagers and Ding Mu about the itinerary, but the police would really go to verify it, so they couldn't really tell him that he had traveled through time.
Looking at Chen Chichi who was hesitating and speechless, the kindness in Officer Song's eyes just now dissipated and turned into a nervous stare.
This made Chen Chichi even more confused about what to answer. Ding Mu, on the other hand, stamped his feet anxiously and explained for Chen Chichi:
"She came here with a few classmates to conduct folk customs research."
Chen Chichi knew that such lies could not deceive the two police officers in front of him, and even revealed the details of his companions. As expected, this detail was caught by his police colleagues, who asked Chen Chichi:
"With classmates? Where are they?"
"for this I……"
Chen Chichi's only response was an even sharper look.
But no matter how flexible his mind was, he couldn't explain what happened in the past few days. It was impossible for the two police officers to believe it, not to mention that Chen Chichi knew that he was not very smart.
Just when Chen Chichi couldn't defend himself and was about to be listed as a suspect by the two police officers, Li Huixi's voice sounded at the door:
"I'm here."
The two police officers turned their heads together and couldn't help but become nervous when they saw Li Huixi. The police colleague even took out his gun.
Officer Song used his body to protect the two students behind him.
"do not move!"
"I didn't move."
Li Huixi raised her hands with a relaxed look on her face.
The police colleagues carefully approached Li Huixi and handcuffed her.
The two police officers also agreed to Chen Chichi's request to go home, so she got into the police car as well.
Officer Song got into the car. He always felt that something was wrong, so he pulled out the surveillance video and watched it over and over again. He also asked his colleagues next to him:
"Is she the only one in the video?"
"It seems...right?"
"No, there should be another person coming."
"Did you remember it wrong?"
The fox that originally appeared in the video with Li Huixi has completely disappeared.
Chen Chichi originally wanted to get close to Li Huixi while the two police officers were not paying attention, and wanted to ask questions about the past few days.
However, she was unable to break through Officer Song's defense line. Officer Song protected her tightly and had no chance of getting close to the dangerous person Li Huixi.
Li Huixi opposite looked at Chen Chichi and sometimes smiled at her, but this was enough to reassure Chen Chichi.
The car drove until midnight and finally stopped on the side of the road. Officer Song walked into the cab as the driver.
This finally gave Chen Chichi a chance to talk to Li Huixi:
"What about her?"
"We already know the cause of the bride's death. Based on our last experience, as long as we let the police file a case and put the evidence in front of them, we can leave this world."
"So where did the fox go."
"...She went to collect evidence. She was originally a mysterious body and could easily erase her own existence."
"Then why did you come here and get arrested?"
"I'll file a case."
"File a case? You are a murderer now. Who would believe what you say?"
"I think Song Jing'an is very reliable."
"Officer Song? Do you know him?"
"So be it."
"What to do with what's in my stomach."
"Who made you so greedy? It's better to be born."
"Give birth? What did you say!"
"Then what should I do? I don't have a solution."
"Li Huixi! Stop joking with me, I'm almost dying!"
At this point, Chen Chichi became really anxious. The suddenly louder voice woke up the two policemen around him, and the conversation had to be stopped here.
As the siren faded away, Ding Mu had just closed the door to the yard when a knock on the door rang. He thought it was still the two policemen, but Ding Mu opened the door again without asking any more questions.
But in front of him was the crazy old woman who had just been kicked out by him. Grandma Ding Mu smiled strangely, holding a bone spur in her hand, and pierced Ding Mu's neck.
Ding Mu felt pain and pushed the other person aside, but in the next second, all the forgotten things came back to his mind.
He finally recognized the grandma in front of him. The two exchanged a few words, and Ding Mu finally revealed his true face hidden by his student identity.
After regaining his memory, the first thing Ding Mu did was to burn the ointment made from the bride's bones. After grinding the mummy into powder, everything about this person completely disappeared after being burned like this.
