"In other words … once the 'incident' happens, it won't end until the 'conclusion' is reached?" Xiao Tan asked, following Brother Jue's train of thought.
Feng Bujue replied in a low voice, "According to the flow of the previous case … if Xiong Ji is arrested normally, the transition will happen about an hour after the end of the case."
When Brother Jue said "an hour," it should be an hour. Xiao Tan knew about his biological timing, so he didn't raise any questions.
"But … if we disrupt the investigation and cover up the truth …" Feng Bujue changed the topic and continued, "Then it's hard to say … For example, in the current situation, although I've taken down Xiong Ji, the peeping incident hasn't reached a 'conclusion,' so I'm not sure what will happen next …"
Vroom vroom vroom vroom …
Before the two of them could finish their conversation, a burst of urgent sirens came from afar.
"Eh? The police are here so quickly? "Xiao Tan was surprised.
"Maybe there's a patrol car nearby." Feng Bujue was quite calm.
"Brother Jue, the police are here to arrest you … Aren't you going to consider running away?" Xiao Tan asked.
"It's okay," Feng Bujue replied, "I want to test … the consequences of being arrested."
"Don't tell me …" Xiao Tan's expression suddenly changed, "You want to …"
"That's right." Feng Bujue continued righteously, "If the consequences of being arrested aren't too bad, I can consider … admitting to all the crimes that Xiong Ji committed before he does."
Two minutes later, a police car stopped outside the crime scene.
The police officer who came out of the police car was the same white Labrador that arrested Xiong Ji last time. His name was Inunosuke.
"Sir, there's an incident here." Tu Mei saw the police officer as if she had seen an acquaintance. "The cat over there used a roundhouse kick to attack the bear that fell on the ground." She paused for a moment, "In addition, Xiang Mei Chan was peeped on, but the culprit has not been identified yet."
"Understood." Inunosuke replied, "Anyway, I'll first take the cat …"
"Wait!" Feng Bujue faced the police officer who was approaching him, and said loudly, "Sir, before you arrest me, there's something I have to say."
"What is it?" Inunosuke asked.
"I was the one who peeped on Xiang Mei's shower!" Brother Jue was very determined to admit what Xiong Ji had done. "In the process of peeping, I was also discovered by Xiang Mei Chan … In order to disrupt the search, I barked twice as I ran away, trying to make others think that the peeping Tom was a dog." As he spoke, he pointed at Xiong Ji, who had fainted on the ground. "Just now, Xiong Ji Kun had seen through my trick and tried to say it out loud. In order to prevent him from saying it out loud, I knocked him out."
"Well … Not only did he admit to a groundless crime, but he also used it as a basis to explain the reason for kicking him out …" Xiao Tan said, "Impressive …"
"Oh … I see." Tu Mei showed an expression of sudden realization. "Great, the incident has been successfully resolved." She waved her arm and snapped her fingers. No one knew how her furry hand made the sound.
On the other hand, Inunosuke was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Brother Jue and said, "So … the criminal in both cases was you?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied calmly.
"And, when your crime was exposed, your first reaction … was to frame a dog?" Inunosuke asked again with a straight face.
"Uh …" Feng Bujue did not answer, as he was afraid that something bad would happen.
"Fine …" After staring at Brother Jue for a few seconds, Inunosuke took a few steps forward and took out a rope. "If you have anything to say, come back to the station with me."
"Okay." Feng Bujue did not resist at all and allowed the other party to tie his hands.
Several seconds later, Inunosuke completed the binding. He 'led' Brother Jue away.
When he passed Wang Tanzhi, Feng Bujue purposely lowered his voice to whisper, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Understood," Xiao Tan replied with a serious expression. "I won't let Xiong Ji get away with this."
After getting the promise from his partner, Brother Jue walked toward the police car without hesitation.
Under the setting sun, his back that was filled with humiliation appeared to have been through a lot. It was like he had turned himself in even though he was innocent.
"Due to AFK-like behavior, thirty percent Life Points and one hundred Skill Points have been deducted."
When he got into the police car, Feng Bujue heard this system announcement.
Since Brother Jue entered Thriller Paradise, this was the first time that he had heard the punishment for AFK-like behavior. Even this time, he was baffled.
"The next day, during lunch break."
Before Feng Bujue could recover from the previous announcement, the sudden change happened again.
Similar to last time, the scenery before his eyes changed. One second, he was sitting in the backseat of the police car, and the next second, he was sitting in the classroom of Animal Elementary School's fourth grade.
"Brother Jue." Xiao Tan's voice came from beside him. "Are you okay?"
"I'm not." Feng Bujue turned to answer. "Voluntarily admitting Xiong Ji's crime will be considered AFK-like behavior, and Life Points and Skill Points will be deducted."
"Er …" Xiao Tan heard that and said with disappointment, "I was happy to see the quick change."
"Phew …" Feng Bujue gave a long sigh. "It's fine. The action earlier was experimental in nature. It's good to learn from it." He scratched his chin and said, "I think I understand the gist of this scenario now. To clear the scenario, we have to disrupt the investigation. But we can't use a brainless method like 'admitting to the crime first'. "
At that moment, Xiao Tan scratched his chin and mimicked the 'famous detectives' in the scenario. He assumed the posture of a detective and said, "Hmm … Based on the information that we know … once a 'case' happens, there has to be a 'conclusion' before we can move on. And there are only two conclusions. The first is that the real culprit, Xiong Ji Kun, has been exposed. The second is that we have successfully disrupted the investigation and caused the case to be closed in the wrong way. " He paused for half a second. "In the first case, the main mission will be headed toward failure, but we will be given one hour of relatively free and safe time to adjust. In the second case, the scenario will move on to the next event. "
At that moment, Feng Bujue widened his pair of cat eyes and looked at Xiao Tan with a half-smile. He used six modal particles in a row. "Ho ho ho ho ho!"
