Perhaps because he felt that he had not fulfilled his promise to his friend, he explained with a bit of guilt: "My schedule is to have breakfast at 7:30. In order to sew the bear doll, I got up an hour early, but now I am still overtime." If you violate the timetable again, the punishment is not to go out today."
His voice of explanation stopped because there were several strangers sitting in the living room.
The stranger was wearing a uniform and the butler was sitting nearby, both with serious faces.
"Young Master, these police officers are here to ask about Teacher Isla."
Finn Wen nodded and asked, "Uncle housekeeper, I'm going to have breakfast."
He was not interested in the stranger appearing in the living room, so he hugged the bear and prepared to leave.
"Hello, Finn Wen."
One of the police officers, wearing glasses and looking older, stood up and smiled gently at Finn Wen, "We have a few questions to ask you, okay?"
Finn Wen glanced at the housekeeper and said, "But it should be breakfast time now. Children must eat breakfast on time, otherwise they will not grow taller."
Director Sterling was speechless. He could not convince Finn Wen, and he did not dare to break the other party's sense of rules on "being a human being".
The housekeeper said, "Young Master, Mr. Wen just called and I hope you will cooperate with the police officers."
Finn Wen tilted his head and looked at Director Sterling with dark eyes.
Beckett Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, trembled inexplicably. Fortunately, Marshall Ding reacted quickly and held down his trembling thigh, so that no one else noticed anything strange.
Wen is imitating a five-year-old child, so let him imitate. This is the safest strategy.
Their purpose was just to learn about the situation last night and make relevant emergency plans. The first fusion of the dream world should not have happened at this time.
The three of them were actually a little nervous, fearing that He would feel something was wrong and wake up on the spot.
Finn Wen hugged the little bear to his chest and asked softly: "Xiaojiu, an obedient child, should you listen to your father?"
Director Sterling subconsciously asked: "Who is Xiaojiu?"
Finn Wen ignored him and put his ear next to the bear doll.
"Of course, children should listen to their parents when they have no ability to judge for themselves. Obedient children will also answer the police officers' questions honestly,"
Griffin Yan told Finn Wen where no one else could hear.
He felt that the appearance of these police officers must be related to what happened last night. Cooperating with police investigations is the easiest way to obtain information. After all, it was too difficult for him and Finn Wen, a combination of a doll and a child, to investigate one thing clearly.
"I understand." Finn Wen then raised his head, "Xiaojiu is my best friend."
After saying that, he no longer insisted on having breakfast, walked over and sat down on the single sofa.
Director Sterling realized belatedly that he was answering his own question. In a sense, He was quite polite and answered all questions.
"Finn Wen, do you know Evelyn Li?"
"I know her. She is my piano teacher."
"Have you seen her lately?"
"Well, I had piano lessons yesterday afternoon."
"When was the last time you saw her? Where?"
"Yesterday afternoon, piano room."
Finn Wen is indeed an "obedient" child. He answers whatever is asked and is not impatient with repeated questions. However, Director Sterling and others found nothing.
His daily life is too ordinary, just like the daily life of an ordinary child, without anything special.
Could it be that Evelyn Li's unexpected awakening caused the dream world to merge?
Marshall Ding felt something was wrong. He couldn't say why. Maybe it was because of the little bear doll. What he saw in the dream world yesterday was endless bear dolls.
Today, Finn Wen held a little bear doll and said it was his good friend. This is unlikely to be a coincidence.
"Uncle policeman, do you still have any questions? I should go have breakfast." Finn Wen reminded that he had to take his Xiaojiu out and could not waste any more time.
"Okay, let's take our leave now. I'm sorry to disturb your breakfast time."
Director Sterling stood up and prepared to leave with Marshall Ding and others.
Marshall Ding took two steps, suddenly stopped, bent down and looked at Finn Wen, and asked: "Kid Finn Wen, why don't you like Teacher Isla?"
Finn Wen opened his eyes wide, hugged the little bear tightly, and still answered the question honestly.
"Teacher Isla, she hurt my good friend and I don't like her."
good friend?
Where did He get his friends?
Marshall Ding found it ridiculous. If he really had friends and a sense of belonging to this world, how could he have reached that point.
call---
He touched his pocket, his hands were itchy and he wanted to smoke, "Is the good friend you mentioned the little bear in your arms?"
He nodded.
Marshall Ding's eyes fell on the bear doll.
Before, he thought Finn Wen was imitating humans and playing the imaginary friend game, but now it seems that the key is really the bear?
He found that there was a stitched hole on the doll's body. The person who sewed it was very skilled, but the color of the thread was slightly different. You could only spot it when you got closer.
What happened to this little bear? broken? That's why there were so many bear dolls in the dream world controlled by Him last night...ridiculous.
How could his thoughts be led away by that stupid young man from Beckett Xiao? He is not a simple child who is not interested in children's toys. This idea is wrong.
Where is that crucial line? Marshall Ding stared at the bear doll and was immersed in reasoning, ignoring Finn Wen's changes.
Finn Wen's brows slowly wrinkled.
He suddenly asked: "Uncle, do you like my little bear?"
Marshall Ding was stunned and subconsciously thought this was a good opportunity, "Yes, uncle likes your bear very much. Can I see him?"
Finn Wen did not answer. He raised his eyes and looked at Marshall Ding.
The light slowly dimmed. It was clear that not long ago, the early morning sunlight filled every corner of the living room through the floor-to-ceiling glass.
The tall trees outside lost the sunlight and became shadowy, like tall and silent giants. The falling shadows began to engulf everything around them.
The light in the living room also dimmed, and this darkness seemed to be concentrated around Marshall Ding. He seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
Anyone who has experienced the end of the world knows what this means. He will make Marshall Ding fall into a nightmare forever...
"Man!"
Director Sterling held down Beckett Xiao who was about to stand up, and silently put his hand into his pocket.
Naturally, they would not be unprepared when they came to see Finn Wen.
The first-generation director of the Supernatural Powers Bureau left behind something that was enough to put Finn Wen into a dreamless sleep, which could save everyone's life at a critical moment. But this thing should be used once and less. Director Sterling must judge the situation before using it.
Marshall Ding's supernatural powers are extremely powerful, and he has a firm will and a good character. He cannot be allowed to die here. In order to save him, he must use it once.
Just when Director Sterling was about to make a move, the housekeeper stood up.
He walked over and turned on the light in the living room, and said with some confusion: "It's strange, why is it going to rain again? It was also going to rain suddenly yesterday, and Teacher Isla stayed overnight because of this."
Teacher Isla stayed here last night? The police came to inquire today, and it turned out to be her!
Griffin Yan heard this and said to Finn Wen: "Finn Wen, please ask these police uncles to go to the guest room and take a look. I suspect that she was the one who wanted to hurt you yesterday."
The sky outside suddenly became bright again.
Finn Wen rubbed the bear doll and smiled with crooked eyes. His Xiaojiu was making demands, and Xiaojiu needed him. Xiaojiu could obviously ask that person to take him there, but she still chose him.
He is very happy.
Director Sterling's hand that was tightly squeezed was finally released in his pocket.
He was somehow appeased?
Daybreak means that the dream world no longer tries to merge, and a crisis is eliminated invisibly.
No one knew why He was suddenly ready to move, and no one knew why He was calm. If they could find a pattern, they wouldn't have reached that point.
Marshall Ding still took out the cigarette without lighting it, put it between his lips and took a long drag. His fingers were trembling a little, whether from fear or excitement.
Under the complicated looks of everyone, Finn Wen asked, "Uncle housekeeper, can you take them to the guest room to have a look?"
The housekeeper was slightly startled and said, "Young Master, this matter... Mr. Wen did not give any orders."
"But isn't it a citizen's duty to cooperate with the police uncle in his work?"
"I'd better ask for permission..." The butler didn't finish his words, his eyes suddenly became a little straight, and he immediately changed his words, "Police officers, please follow me."
Finn Wen lowered his head, rubbed his head on the chest of the little bear doll, and then felt at ease. It's so annoying. He wants to be with Xiaojiu. These people are so noisy.
Why did the housekeeper mention Dad? He just needs to be obedient and end this quickly.
The housekeeper led the three police officers to the door of the guest room, "Guys, this is the room where Teacher Isla stayed last night. It has been cleaned."
He pushed them aside and waited for Director Sterling and others to enter.
Beckett Xiao stopped and looked behind him hesitantly.
About two or three meters away from them, Finn Wen held his little bear and looked at them quietly.
"Director, isn't this kind of occasion not suitable for children?"
... Director Sterling was speechless for a while, "Then you go and tell him?"
Beckett Xiao shook his head wildly, like a rattle, and then looked at the housekeeper aside, wondering why he didn't speak. The housekeeper was just an ordinary person and didn't know Finn Wen's identity. Why didn't he stop Finn Wen from following him?
The housekeeper sensed Beckett Xiao's gaze and asked, "Officer Shan, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
...
In the end, Finn Wen followed him into the guest room.
There was nothing unusual in the room. The bed had been made and it didn't look like someone was staying there, except for the handbag placed aside.
The housekeeper said: "The bag next to it belongs to Teacher Isla."
Marshall Ding asked: "Is there anything wrong with the room?"
The housekeeper replied: "I started to inspect at six o'clock. When I arrived at the guest room, I found that the door was not closed and Teacher Isla was not inside. Her personal belongings were still left in the room. I thought she had left in an emergency, so I packed them up for her next visit. take."
"Apart from these, nothing else? For example, signs of fighting or something like that."
The butler smiled and said, "No, officer, our manor uses the most advanced security system. Once someone intrudes, an alarm will be triggered, and security personnel from outside will arrive as soon as possible."
Director Sterling and Marshall Ding looked at each other without speaking. Ordinary intrusions will indeed trigger alarms, but the dream world is different from the real world.
From this point of view, Evelyn Li's death must be related to the fusion of the dream world.
Finn Wen was quiet throughout the whole process, but occasionally whispered to Xiao Xiong, "It's so boring, Xiao Jiu, let's go play."
Griffin Yan casually coaxed the child while carefully watching the police's behavior.
They were investigating Teacher Isla and suspected that Teacher Isla had behaved inappropriately at night.
If the person who came to kill Finn Wen in the middle of the night was really Teacher Isla, things would be really troublesome.
During class in the afternoon, Teacher Isla behaved normally and praised Finn Wen's progress. She admired Finn Wen very much, and the love revealed in her eyes was not fake.
Judging from the information obtained in the database, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for human beings to change their attitude towards a person drastically in a short period of time.
Finn Wen did not do anything to Teacher Isla, and the reason should be Teacher Isla himself. Considering this, Griffin Yan asked Finn Wen to follow him and take a look.
After all, Finn Wen's safety is more important than anything else to him now.
