Time goes back to the present, the Sheriff's Department.

"Ms. Shichu, what were you doing around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday?"

The glaring light in the interrogation room made her feel a little uncomfortable. She blinked uncomfortably and said softly after a while: "I should have just finished the "Basic Underwater Combat Knowledge and Operations" class and came out of the training room."

"should?"

"Because I took off my laptop for this class, I didn't know the exact time. But the class ended at 2:30. After class, I went to the locker to get my laptop, changed my clothes, and went to the next class, Federal History."

When the sheriff in charge of the interrogation heard this, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes. She looked at the beta girl in front of her sharply and asked in a stern tone: "Why did you take down the optical brain?"

The beta girl in front of her seemed to be frightened by her serious attitude. She trembled slightly and spoke slowly: "Because the waterproof version of the optical computer is too expensive, I can't afford it. I am afraid that I will accidentally damage the optical computer during class, so I take it out every time. I... I am an orphan, I have no money, and my parents..."

The girl's voice gradually became lower and lower, carrying with it an indescribable sadness and desolation.

The sheriff was silent for a moment, her eyes never leaving the girl, as if she wanted to take in every subtle expression of hers. She quickly thought about what the girl said, judging its credibility.

No lies.

In fact, she had already read the information of this child before she came. His parents died in a fierce battle with star beasts on the front line, and he was an orphan.

A trace of pity welled up in her heart, but her professional ethics allowed her to quickly suppress this emotion. She continued to remain calm and sharp, examining the beta girl in front of her.

"Where were you this morning from nine to ten?"

"sleeping at home."

"What is your relationship with Luo Yanchuan?"

"Luo Yanchuan? I'm not familiar with him and we don't have much interaction. He only came to our class on Monday. I accidentally disturbed his sleep that day. He...seems to dislike me."

"We found out that your optical computer sent him a message through the student account on the Ickles School intranet at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, asking him to meet this morning."

The sheriff looked at her sharply and said sternly, "This morning, at the location you agreed on, a vicious alpha riot occurred, killing two people and seriously injuring 13 people."

"Luo Yanchuan was the first person to lose control and riot."

Shi Chu blinked, his face blank and horrified: "I... I don't know."

"I didn't send any messages. The school has surveillance to prove it."

"I'm sorry, but the surveillance in that area was down at noon. Can we check your optical computer?"

"Of course." Shi Chu decisively took out the computer in his right hand and handed it over.

The serious sheriff handed the laptop to the professional beside him and continued to question Shichu.

"One of the dead was named Woolley Little. He was also a student at Ickles College. Do you know him?"

There was a wave of turmoil in Shichu's heart, but he appeared calm on the surface.

"I'm not sure, can I see a picture of him?"

The sheriff turned on the projector and put Woolley's photo on it, along with everyone else involved in the incident.

Shi Chu's pupils shrank when he saw the photo, and he said with a slightly surprised tone: "I met him once. I was sleeping in a tree on Wednesday morning, and I heard him confess his love to Luo Yanchuan... and he was rejected."

She quickly realized that the reason she was ambush yesterday was all because of Luo Yanchuan.

After checking her computer records, the professional whispered something into the sheriff's ear.

"Ms. Shichu, do you have any relevant clues to provide?"

"Well..." She hesitated for a while before she spoke slowly, "That afternoon when I came out of class, I saw my deskmate Shen Xiuyin standing in front of my changing cabinet with a strange look on her face."

"So you suspect she has touched your light brain?"

"Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out. She has been acting strange since Luo Yanchuan came to our class."

"Okay, Miss Shichu, thank you for your cooperation. We need to discuss the results." The sheriff stood up and went outside the room to discuss with several jurors.

Outside the door, the serious Beta Sheriff spoke first: "From the data of her body functions monitored by the instrument, she did not lie. From her various performances, I agree with the results measured by the instrument."

"Agree." Everyone seconded.

The professional who had checked Shichu's computer records said, "I looked through her chat history for that day, and the messages were deleted after they were sent."

"From other chat records, she had no contact with those two people, but she did have some contact with her deskmate Shen Xiuyin."

"I suggest that we first question everyone who attended class with her that day, especially Shen Xiuyin, whom she mentioned."

"Agree."

The sheriff looked at everyone's reactions and slowly said, "Then let the people from Team 12 of the Public Security Brigade go and bring those people here."

She paused and continued, "Next, let's explore the possibility that she is a suspect in this incident."

Everyone started discussing this topic, and for a while, various opinions and speculations were intertwined and lasted for a long time.

"Based on her identity and various behaviors, I think she can be ruled out as a suspect. There are signs that her computer has been opened with a one-time key. It is very likely that someone used her computer to send a message to ask Luo Yanchuan to come out."

"Why did she use her laptop to send the message? I don't think we can rule her out as a suspect so quickly."

"From the scene, it seems someone used alpha attractants. Why are there so many alphas in that cafe? Don't you understand what this means? This is a setup for the Luo family."

"Yes, that's right. I think the Litt family wanted to rely on Luo Yanchuan to climb up to the Luo family, and planned to use alpha attractants to directly induce his estrus period, and then naturally become the daughter-in-law of the Luo family. But they didn't expect that Luo Yanchuan's susceptible period was approaching recently, and they failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, causing his susceptible period to explode and go out of control."

"Indeed, an ordinary beta basically has no channels to obtain this kind of banned drug, but if it is the Lit family, the possibility will be much greater."

……

After an unknown amount of time, the sheriff opened the door of the interrogation room again and walked in.

She looked at the somewhat nervous beta girl sitting on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Shichu, after our unanimous discussion, we have temporarily ruled out your suspicion. Your optical brain cannot be returned as evidence. The Sheriff's Court has transferred the corresponding fees to your account, and you can buy a new one later.

"Also, please keep the communication open. We may need to learn more from you later."

"Then can I go home now?" The girl blinked and asked softly.

"Of course, but someone wants to see you now."
