Chapter 74: Someone Is Lying
Song Tiantian sat under the fluorescent light. It was her first time in such a serious setting. Her blood had already been drawn and taken for testing.
“Miss Song, you were poisoned by your younger sister during the Gaokao, and you had a doctor draw blood for a check-up at the time, correct?”
“Yes!”
When Song Tiantian transmigrated, she immediately had the doctor at the examination site check her, because she felt very unwell.
“We found your blood sample and re-tested it. You weren’t poisoned, but we detected a very faint Ghost’s Power. You must have been invaded by a ghost at the time.”
Song Tiantian frowned, her posture involuntarily adjusting at that moment.
Song Tiantian remained silent, her gaze fixed on the interrogator. This person was lying.
The blood drawn at the examination site couldn’t possibly have been preserved for this long.
In the minds of medical personnel, blood was the dirtiest thing in this world.
Especially the blood of unimportant people like her wouldn’t be preserved for long.
Song Jiaojiao had already assumed she was the one who poisoned her.
If Song Jiaojiao hadn’t done it, she would definitely have cried out in injustice and wouldn’t have admitted it.
The interrogator also remained silent, staring sharply at Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian paused, then spoke to the interrogator: “I am a very professional researcher. Ghost’s Power cannot be preserved in blood for this long. I don’t know why you are saying this, or why you brought me here.
No matter what your intentions are, I hope you can be a little more serious.
Please ask me something of value, and stop asking me questions with such basic factual errors.”
Ever since Song Tiantian learned she had been targeted by a ghost, she had conducted thorough research into the characteristics of ghosts.
She also didn’t know if the System in her mind was a ghost.
But as soon as she summoned the System panel, it appeared, with a very simple interface.
She could hear the inner voice of Fierce Beasts, and ghosts were a type of Fierce Beast.
Yet, despite being so close, she hadn’t heard any inner voice from the ghost.
When the ghost was possessing Song Jiaojiao, she hadn’t heard any inner voice either.
Otherwise, she would have run away long ago and wouldn’t have stayed with the Song Family.
However, she had heard the ghost’s inner voice at the nightclub bar.
This proved that she could indeed hear the ghost’s inner voice.
The Beast Taming Cultivation Method and Pet Beast Recipe Book provided by the System were both correct and very important.
The interrogator’s face turned from green to red, and from red to green.
Finally, he looked at Song Tiantian and said to her in exasperation, “Don’t think we don’t know that you’ve already made some kind of deal with the ghost in secret. You stayed at the Pet Beast Center precisely to steal information from Dr. Bai, so that the ghost could escape Dr. Bai’s pursuit.”
Song Tiantian said nothing, remaining calm and composed.
Her gaze, however, was like she was looking at an idiot.
To think that someone would have the nerve to ask her such an outrageous question.
If she were to answer, wouldn’t that be demeaning herself?
“Speak!”
“Say something!”
Unable to withstand Song Tiantian’s silent treatment, the other party’s face grew increasingly flushed.
Just as he was about to make a move against Song Tiantian, two people entered from outside the door, a man and a woman.
“Miss Song, hello. This is Dr. Mo, who currently works at Qingshan Mental Hospital. He primarily researches how to treat people who have been possessed by ghosts. I am Law Enforcement Officer Huang Xiaohua, currently investigating the ghost case.”
The woman took the initiative to introduce herself to Song Tiantian.
Her name had a somewhat rustic feel, completely at odds with her refined demeanor.
She stated her name with utmost seriousness.
Instead, it carried a peculiar sense of humor.
It was like someone who looked like a protagonist from a fantasy novel calling himself “Er Niu” (Second Ox).
Song Tiantian nodded at Huang Xiaohua and said, “I came here to cooperate with your investigation. My time is also very valuable. I believe I have cooperated sufficiently! I’ve already undergone the brainwave check you required.
I even had my blood drawn for you.
A month ago, I was subjected to a mental attack by a ghost, so it’s normal for some residual ghost energy to remain.
However, this kind of premeditated and targeted confinement, coupled with aggressive questioning, is very unfair to a law-abiding citizen like myself. In another hour, my time here will exceed eight hours. I now need to request a lawyer and file a complaint against Law Enforcement Officer number 12387635.”
“I apologize. My colleague was just being a bit too serious. Ghosts have killed many people recently, and he has no leads. His actions were a bit reckless. I apologize on his behalf.”
Huang Xiaohua said to Song Tiantian with a slight smile.
Her tone sounded very friendly and gentle.
However, Song Tiantian was no longer falling for it. She had regained her composure.
Something was off about this person. They had deliberately chosen a time when Dr. Bai was not present to take her away.
At the time, she had been too trusting of official personnel.
Combined with some unsettling information about ghosts, Song Tiantian hadn’t calmed down to think properly and had foolishly gone along with them.
These people were likely opponents of Dr. Bai.
Things were becoming increasingly complicated.
Regarding the matter of ghosts, she felt it was necessary to ask Dr. Bai again.
“If apologies were useful, what would be the point of having law enforcement officers! I’m very sorry, but I need to immediately request my lawyer to come and protect my legal rights.”
Huang Xiaohua remembered that when she had interacted with Song Tiantian before, Song Tiantian had been very easy to talk to, with a naive, innocent look in her eyes, like a typical college student.
But at this moment, Song Tiantian’s aura had changed; she had become more assertive.
Song Tiantian’s gaze wasn’t directly on her, but she could faintly sense Song Tiantian’s oppressive presence.
Song Tiantian’s posture had also changed. She appeared relaxed, but her muscles were tensed, as if she were ready to fight at any moment, as if she would summon her Pet Beast if words failed.
Song Tiantian was a Two-star Beast Tamer, but the oppressive aura she exuded was not that of a Two-star Beast Tamer at all.
Song Tiantian possessed a presence unique to High-level Beast Tamers.
She now understood why her colleague had been so easily provoked by Song Tiantian in such a short time.
This was an invisible mental attack, appearing weak yet possessing great power.
“Miss Song, Law Enforcement Officer Huang is serving as Director for the first time, so there may have been some oversights. I will cover all of your sister’s treatment fees at our Qingshan Mental Hospital for free, and the previous treatment fees will be refunded to your family.
Rest assured, with our Dean of Qingshan Mental Hospital, your sister will receive excellent care.”
Dr. Mo was not someone who was good at smoothing things over.
But if he didn’t speak, the atmosphere would become awkward.
