Chapter 800: Continuous Sealing
As a lab rat who had survived twelve rounds of the survival game,
Juliet had encountered deranged criminals, deranged serial killers, and even cases where criminals impersonated police to deceive lab rats.
Therefore, she was seriously suspicious of the true identities of the two men in front of her.
"Fake cops?"
One of the police officers laughed and simply handed Juliet the work badge he had shown earlier.
"Take a good look yourself."
Juliet examined the police work badge in her hand.
Even though it looked extremely authentic—the name, badge number, department, photo, everything matched the man in front of her—
Juliet still pulled out her phone and said to the two men, "If you don't mind, I need to dial 110 to verify your identities."
Both police officers had an indifferent attitude, and the other officer also handed Juliet his work badge, letting her check its authenticity to her heart's content.
Juliet was from the UK. The emergency numbers in the UK were 999 and 101.
Germany, like Hua Country, used 110.
Juliet had already clarified the differences between Germany and the UK before coming to Aisen Town.
She began dialing 110.
Soon, the call connected, and a pleasant female voice came through.
Juliet began verifying the identities of the two police officers in front of her.
Three minutes later.
Juliet put down her phone.
After returning the work badges to the two men, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems you really are police officers."
The two German police officers weren't upset by this treatment. One of them said, "Of course we are. And it's good that you're cautious. There really are people bold enough to impersonate us."
Juliet then asked, "You said you need my assistance with a murder investigation. What exactly is going on?"
The two police officers replied that she would understand everything once she went with them.
So Juliet sat in the back seat. Another police officer was on her right, watching her.
She kept thinking about what the officers had just said, replaying the past few days in her mind.
She hadn't witnessed any murder case these past few days, had she?
What was she supposed to assist with?
It wasn't until she arrived at the Aisen Town police station
that Juliet finally understood what she was there to assist with.
Turns out, she had thought she was being called in as an eyewitness to provide reliable information for a murder investigation.
But instead, she had been identified as the killer in a murder case.
"You've got it wrong! I've basically stayed in my rented house since I arrived in Aisen Town! How could I have killed anyone?!"
In an interrogation room at the Aisen Town police station,
Juliet slammed her hands on the table in fury, producing loud banging sounds.
The banging seemed to cheer her on, telling others she wasn't the killer.
But then, the police officer interrogating her showed her a video on his phone.
It left Juliet completely speechless.
The video went like this: It appeared to be inside a house.
Two people—a woman and a man.
The woman used a knife to stab the man to death.
The video was very clear, and the faces of both the man and woman were perfectly visible.
And that woman was none other than Juliet herself.
So upon seeing this video, Juliet was dumbfounded.
Seeing Juliet's shock and silence, the police officer interrogating her thought she had nothing more to say. The case was about to be solved.
Unexpectedly, after her silence, Juliet's face suddenly darkened.
"Fake. It has to be AI. Someone swapped my face onto the woman in this video. And as for that man, I don't know him at all!"
"Is that so? Are you sure the person in the video isn't you? You really don't know this man?"
The police officer interrogating her asked this.
Juliet collected herself and tried to speak calmly. "I'll say it again—no. The video is definitely AI. If you take it for testing, you'll understand."
Juliet wasn't lying. Not only did she not know that man, but she had absolutely no recollection of the house in the video either. She had definitely never been there.
So, someone was framing her.
As for their motive for framing her?
She didn't know herself.
She just felt incredibly wronged.
And someone else felt just as wronged.
Another lab rat.
And he was in another interrogation room just two rooms away.
"Fake! This is definitely fake! It has to be photoshopped! Just like those AI face-swaps, my face must have been stolen!!!"
Huo Yun was shouting at the top of his lungs, insisting he was innocent.
It was similar to Juliet's situation.
Huo Yun had also been in his rented house.
Well, the house he rented was pretty shabby.
He and Huang Kaiyu were still living together.
So there he was, just playing on his phone at home, when the German police showed up and took him away.
They said he was suspected of murder.
Huo Yun definitely felt he was being wronged.
When he first heard the knock on the door and saw it was the police, he thought it was because he and Huang Kaiyu had been caught tampering with the police car.
But then he heard it was about murder...
He was completely stunned...
Then he was taken to the police station's interrogation room.
The interrogating officer showed him a video.
In the video, he was in bed with a woman, and then he killed her.
Huo Yun was first stunned, then furious, and then felt wronged.
Just like Juliet, he claimed the video was fake.
And demanded the police properly test it.
...
At 1:30 PM,
Jiang Ran, with a splitting headache, woke up on a bed.
After getting up, he held his head. Once the headache subsided a little,
he looked around and realized he was in the 25 Hours Hotel where he was staying.
"Tsk... Did the alternate personality take over my body again?"
Judging by this statement, the current Jiang Ran was the main personality with only good memories.
Right now, he was trying to recall the last thing he remembered before his memory cut off.
It was the end of that day's onboarding training, when he walked out of the building.
As for what happened after that, he had no memory.
"Sigh, let me check my body first!"
He held his head for a little while longer until the tearing pain in his head mostly disappeared.
Jiang Ran habitually checked himself for injuries.
After all, every time this happened, he usually ended up with some kind of wound.
After checking, he found that he was indeed a bit injured, but it didn't seem too serious.
"A small mercy in the midst of misfortune..."
After completely letting out a sigh of relief, the next second, Jiang Ran's heart suddenly tightened.
He hurriedly fumbled for his phone and checked the time.
He shouted in panic.
Today was onboarding training, and he was still sleeping in the hotel!
"Damn! Damn!!!"
Jiang Ran immediately got up, threw on his clothes, and rushed to get ready to go out.
He needed to get to the onboarding training. He hoped that half a day of absence wouldn't cause him to fail the training.
But the moment he opened the door,
he saw two German police officers, their right hands hovering in the air, as if they were about to knock.
