Chapter 170 Believe in Science
Su Yao shook her head: "The Marquis' Mansion is located in the city, surrounded by wealthy families, and there are no special signs."
Xiao Zhao secretly glanced at Su Yao a few times and couldn't help but interrupt: "Captain Wang, I don't think she is lying. Could this really be a supernatural phenomenon?"
Officer Wang glared at Xiao Zhao and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. There are so many things that can be explained by science. We just haven't found any clues yet."
He turned to look at Su Yao, and his tone softened a little: "Miss Su, what do you do in the Marquis' Mansion on weekdays? Do you have any special habits or particularities?"
Su Yao calmed down and said slowly: "I greet my parents every morning, then study calligraphy and painting, and do needlework with my sisters in the afternoon."
Officer Wang looked at the official statement and felt it was a bit perfunctory, so he simply asked more specifically, "What are the daily rules and activities of your mansion?"
People always need to be active, right? If you want to socialize, are you still worried about not being able to find people?
Su Yao pursed her lips and said slowly: "Every morning when you wake up, you need to greet your elders. There are many rules for eating. There are even more complicated rituals during festivals..."
Okay, if I can’t find any activities, I can always find some relatives, friends, and good sisters, right?
"Miss Su, do you have any sisters or servants in the Marquis' Mansion who are particularly close to you? Can they testify for you?"
Su Yao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Yes, my personal maid Xiao Cui is loyal to me, she will be able to testify for me."
Officer Wang quickly wrote down: "Where is Xiao Cui now? How can we find her?"
Su Yao sighed softly: "Xiao Cui should still be in the Marquis' Mansion, but I don't know where the Marquis' Mansion is now."
Come on, it's useless to say this!
Officer Wang stared at Su Yao with scrutiny in his eyes: "Then think carefully about what happened around you before you fell into the swimming pool?"
Su Yao frowned, looking painfully thoughtful, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes: "Sir, I really can't remember anything special. Everything was normal at the time."
Officer Wang touched his chin and found the point that puzzled him: "Then in your opinion, why did you suddenly appear here?"
Su Yao showed a trace of confusion on her face, and murmured: "Sir, I don't know. I got here in a blink of an eye. I really don't know how I suddenly appeared!"
Officer Wang looked at the confused little face and couldn't help asking an irrelevant question: "Have you ever heard of any magical spells or strange people in the Marquis' Mansion?"
With this little girl's imagination, she should be able to come up with a reasonable interpretation of her own words and actions, right?
However, Su Yao clenched her hands, thought for a moment, and answered, "I have never heard of it. The Marquis' Mansion has always had strict rules and regulations, and this kind of thing has never happened before."
At this time, another police officer who had been observing silently could not help but speak up: "Captain Wang, I think this is too mysterious. Could she have a mental problem?"
Su Yao widened her eyes and said excitedly: "I am sane and not crazy at all!"
Officer Wang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Don't jump to conclusions yet, keep asking questions."
He looked at Su Yao again, "Miss Su, do you have any feelings or guesses about our place?"
Su Yao looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness: "I just feel that this place is very strange, not at all like the world I am familiar with."
Officer Wang sighed: "This matter is really difficult to handle..."
……
Officer Wang stopped writing and reviewed what he had recorded. He didn't feel much at the time, but now looking at these densely written pages, he felt his scalp tingling.
It records in detail all the shocking things that Su Yao described.
The complex interpersonal relationships in the Jin'an Marquis' Mansion, from the Marquis's power struggles to the open and covert struggles among his wives and concubines; the arts of calligraphy and painting, etiquette and rules learned by the young ladies of the Marquis' Mansion, and even the regulations on various exquisite costumes and accessories.
There is also the emperor's temperament and preferences, his governing methods, the power distribution of ministers, and their official deeds in the court.
Su Yao can tell the story of a war decision that affects the fate of a country or a trivial dispute in an official's family, and her descriptions are vivid and clear.
She even described the banquet process, dishes and desserts in the palace, and the intrigues among the concubines in the harem. She also described some little-known secrets as if she had experienced them personally, and the level of detail was astonishing.
Even if you are writing a novel, I'm afraid the setting would not be so detailed!
Officer Wang rubbed his brows and for the first time began to doubt his own worldview. "These various rules don't seem to be made up, but if this is true..."
If all this is true, then how did Su Yao, who claims to be the legitimate daughter of Jin'an Marquis Mansion, come here across time and space?
Is it true that there is such an incredible thing as time travel?
If not, how do we explain her extraordinary knowledge and realistic descriptions?
Officer Wang took a deep breath and looked at Su Yao again, trying to find a flaw in her expression. However, Su Yao's calm and confident expression made him even more confused.
He re-examined the pages in his hands. Every word on them seemed to jump, impacting the science and common sense he had believed in for many years.
No, no!
He is a policeman, he must rely on evidence and believe in science!
Unless there is a video to prove that she suddenly traveled through time, otherwise...
Wait, video?
He suddenly thought of something and turned to Lin Yuxi, asking anxiously, "Ms. Lin, do you have surveillance cameras in your swimming pool?"
"Yes." Lin Yuxi nodded, her cold face showing no emotion. She turned slightly and told the servant beside her, "Go and check the relevant surveillance."
The servant left in a hurry after receiving the order. After a while, he came back trotting with a mobile hard drive in his hand.
"Miss, the surveillance footage has been retrieved." The servant handed over the hard drive.
Lin Yuxi took the hard drive, walked straight to the big screen in the living room, inserted it into the interface skillfully, and then turned on the projection.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen as the picture began to play.
Suddenly, a strange wave appeared in the space above the calm swimming pool, as if a huge rock had been thrown into the calm water. Then, Su Yao, a woman in ancient costume, appeared out of thin air in the picture.
She was wearing a light blue silk dress with fluttering sleeves, her long black hair falling like a waterfall, the pearls and jade in her hair gleaming in the sun. But her face was full of panic, her delicate features slightly distorted by fear.
"Oh my God, it really appeared out of thin air?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Yao in the picture seemed to want to stabilize her body, but she was powerless. "Ah!" With a scream, she fell straight into the swimming pool, splashing a large amount of water.
"Help! Help!" Su Yao struggled desperately in the water. She obviously couldn't swim, and her eyes were full of despair and fear.
……
Su Yao looked at the scene in front of her with an incredible look on her face. Is this the scene just now? Is this how she appeared? But what on earth is this thing? Why can it still show what just happened!
This is too unbelievable, is this still where she is?
Could it be that she suddenly came to the fairyland?
Officer Wang took a deep breath and looked at Su Yao: "Miss Su, I may really have to trouble you to go with us!"
Su Yao nodded slightly: "I will cooperate with you, thank you for your help. But after the matter is settled, please send me back the same way. I will be very grateful!"
