Chapter 268 Want to see you (I am not me)

After reading the diary, Xie Zhiqi walked to Huang Yuxuan, slowly squatted down, and looked at the woman lying on the ground in disbelief.

Xie Zhiqi reached out and wanted to touch Huang Yuxuan's face. He had wanted to do this from the first day he saw her, because she looked so much like Chen Yunru.

At this time, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the living room. Xie Zhiqi suddenly retracted his hand, looked around, grabbed the Walkman, and quickly walked into a corner to hide.

"Yuxuan, I'm back!" Li Ziwei shouted as he entered the door, but received no response.

Li Ziwei saw Huang Yuxuan slumped on the sofa at a glance and thought she was asleep. No wonder she didn't answer his call just now.

Smiling, Li Ziwei sat in front of Huang Yuxuan, stretched out his hand, touched Huang Yuxuan's forehead, and said softly: "Yuxuan..., why are you sleeping here? Get up quickly... It's time to get up and eat, Yuxuan~, Why are you sleeping so soundly, Yuxuan??"

After shaking Huang Yuxuan's arm, there was still no movement. Li Ziwei, who just felt something was wrong, suddenly heard movement behind him.

A black shadow flashed quickly, and he immediately turned around, only to see a figure rushing out of the house, and Li Ziwei hurriedly chased after him!

Xie Zhiqi ran out quickly, and Li Ziwei chased him until he came to a dead end alley. Xie Zhiqi had no way to escape. At this time, Li Ziwei had already caught up with him and threw him to the ground. When he saw Xie Zhiqi's face clearly, , was stunned for a moment, and blurted out:

"Xie Zongru!?"

Xie Zhiqi began to struggle hard, but Li Ziwei came to his senses and punched him in the face!
"What did you do to Huang Yuxuan?" Li Ziwei asked furiously.

Xie Zhiqi wanted to fight back, but was blocked by Li Ziwei, who punched him hard again!
"What are you doing with her stuff??! Here, give it to me!"

Li Ziwei was angry and annoyed, and kept punching. Xie Zhiqi waved his hands randomly while being beaten, and suddenly grabbed a ceramic flowerpot on the roadside and smashed it directly on Li Ziwei's head.

The severe pain forced Li Ziwei to let go. Xie Zhiqi took the opportunity to break away, picked up the heavy flower pot again, and hit Li Ziwei's head hard again and again.

Seeing Li Ziwei collapsed on the ground and no longer responding, Xie Zhiqi dropped the flower pot, stood up unsteadily, and picked up the diary and the listening device.

Just when he was about to escape, he heard a sound from behind. Xie Zhiqi turned around and saw that half of Li Ziwei's face was covered with blood from the wound on his head, struggling to get up.

"Xie Zongru... Or, are you Xie Zhiqi??" Even though he was seriously injured, Li Ziwei still glared at Xie Zhiqi fiercely.

Xie Zhiqi sneered, turned and walked to Li Ziwei, raised the heavy flowerpot with both hands again, and smashed it on Li Ziwei's head.The force was so strong that the flowerpot shattered when it hit Li Ziwei.

Li Ziwei finally couldn't move anymore.

…………

After returning home, Xie Zhiqi was not in a hurry to clean the blood stains immediately, nor did he try to escape in a panic.

Because he has more important things to do.

Li Ziwei sat on the sofa that was so clean without a speck of dust, and opened Chen Yunru's diary as if appreciating the most precious treasure in the world.

Sometimes, I feel like I am the dimmest star in the universe, shining desperately, hoping that someone will discover my insignificant existence...

But in the end, all that was waiting for me was falling.

The moment I died, I knew that no one in the world would remember me...

I am slowly withering in my regretful youth, and I have learned to cry in the lost wasteland.

In the process of playing myself, I abandoned myself...

In the deepest part of my heart, in the room with the lights off, I sang a love song that only I could embrace...

Line by line, Xie Zhiqi read every sentence written by Chen Yunru with a smile on his face, as if singing a love poem, with a mesmerized expression on his face.

After reading, Xie Zhiqi carefully closed the diary and put it down, picked up the headphones and put them in his ears.

Then Xie Zhiqi closed his eyes, picked up the Walkman with a smile, and pressed the play button...,
The phone rang.

Xie Zhiqi opened his eyes and found that he was sitting in the living room of his hometown, and the phone on the table was ringing.

After picking up the phone, Xie Zhiqi listened for a while and then said calmly: "Okay, Mom, I understand. Don't worry, my brother listens to me the most..., I'll be here right away."

...............

2019, Taipei, in the hospital.

When Huang Yuxuan woke up, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. The drugs remaining in her body made her unresponsive and her vision was a little blurry. She could only vaguely see someone walking in front of her.

"Are you awake, Huang Yuxuan?" Two plainclothes detectives came over.

"Why am I in the hospital? You..." Huang Yuxuan opened her eyes hard and asked in a weak tone as she tried to get up.

"Are you awake? Are you okay?"

Wu Wenlei immediately stepped forward to help Huang Yuxuan stand up and expressed concern.

That day, after Li Ziwei chased Xie Zhiqi out of the house, the door was wide open. When his neighbor came home, he noticed something was wrong. He looked around and found Huang Yuxuan lying on the kitchen floor, and immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, Wu Wenlei also happened to rush over.

It turned out that Li Ziwei called Wu Wenlei yesterday, but he didn't receive it. After calling back, no one answered. Wu Wenlei called Huang Yuxuan instead, but no one answered.I felt something was wrong and felt uneasy, so I rushed over, but I didn't expect that something had really happened to Huang Yuxuan.

"This is... the hospital?" Huang Yuxuan wanted to sit up, but felt dizzy and fell back on the bed.

Wu Wenlei's tone was a little heavy and he said: "Yesterday we found that you were drugged and fell alone on the sofa at home."

"I was drugged??" Huang Yuxuan covered her head and said in surprise.

The police officer nodded: "Ms. Huang, are you conscious now?"

"Huh?!" Huang Yuxuan frowned and nodded.

"Do you still remember what happened to you last night?"

"Well..., I remember," Huang Yuxuan recalled: "My psychiatrist came to my house to see me, and then I received a call from Li Ziwei. I went to the balcony to talk on the phone, and when I went back..., Is it Doctor Xie?! It’s Doctor Xie who drugged me!"

The two policemen looked at each other and recorded Huang Yuxuan's words.

"Huh?" Huang Yuxuan looked around, feeling a little uneasy for some reason: "Uncle Wen Lei, where is Li Ziwei? Where is he?"

Wu Wenlei turned his head and did not dare to look at Huang Yuxuan. He did not answer, but his eyes revealed regret and sadness.The policeman on the side finished taking notes and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Huang, if possible, I would like to trouble you to come with us."

"Where to go?" Huang Yuxuan felt increasingly uneasy.ask.

"The mortuary."

"Buzz~~," Huang Yuxuan felt as if she had been hit hard, her eyes were filled with stars, and her mind went blank.

Huang Yuxuan stepped on the cold floor with empty steps, and there was a strong smell of disinfectant everywhere. The hospital staff accompanying her walked forward expressionlessly, as if they had long been accustomed to crossing the boundary between the human world and death.

Huang Yuxuan kept telling herself, no, it's impossible, it definitely won't be Li Ziwei...

But when Huang Yuxuan saw the body that the medical staff pulled out of the freezer, Huang Yuxuan tremblingly opened the white cloth, she finally collapsed.

Her legs no longer had any strength and she fell to the ground, but she still struggled to get up and put her hands on the iron bed frame where his body was placed, hoping to see clearly again.

Li Ziwei...is he really dead?Killed by Xie Zhiqi?

Huang Yuxuan burst into tears and threw herself on the cold body. Why, why did she have to leave her alone again?It took a lot of effort for me to wait until he came home. Why?
Hot tears fell on his face drop by drop, and he would never open his eyes again.

Wu Wenlei on the side couldn't bear it and turned his head, with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly, Huang Yuxuan jumped off the hospital bed, ran out of the door excitedly and said to Wu Wenlei: "Uncle Wenlei, take me to get that Walkman. I want to go back to the past."

"You want to go back in time?"

Wu Wenlei came over understandingly.

Huang Yuxuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes, if I could go back to the past and change everything, then he would not die."

.........

In the police station, Huang Yuxuan and Wu Wenlei watched the surveillance replay.

When she saw Xie Zhi hitting Li Ziwei on the head, Huang Yuxuan's heart felt cramped, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she closed her eyes in pain.It was she who killed Li Ziwei. If she didn't tell Xie Zhiqi these things and let Xie Zhiqi in...

Wu Wenlei on the side couldn't bear it and turned his head with tears in his eyes.

"Ms. Huang, this is the process of Xie Zhiqi's murder on the victim that we found from the alley monitor. We would like to ask you to cooperate with our police to clarify some things," the policeman said: "After Xie Zhiqi committed the murder, he took two Two items left, does Ms. Huang know what those two items are?"

Huang Yuxuan choked up and said, "It's a walkman and a diary."

"Walman and diary?" the police officer asked curiously.

"Yes!" Huang Yuxuan nodded: "He took it from my house."

The police officer continued to ask: "Ms. Huang, is there anything special about that Walkman and the diary? Why did Xie Zhiqi drug you for that Walkman and do such heavy harm to the victim? Did Xie Zhiqi take that Walkman? What exactly are you going to do with that diary?"

Huang Yuxuan and Wu Wenlei looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment and could only shake their heads.

After the two left the police station, Huang Yuxuan remained silent, and her Walkman was taken away by Xie Zhiqi. It seemed that she had no way to go back to the past and could only wait for news from the police.

Wu Wenlei was also a little confused and asked Huang Yuxuan: "I really can't figure out why Xie Zhiqi took this notebook away and followed him...

Huang Yuxuan suddenly stopped and several pictures appeared in her mind.

"What's wrong?" Wu Wenlei asked.

"I think maybe during the short few minutes he was listening to the Walkman at my house, he went back to the past like me..." Huang Yuxuan began to doubt whether the person she saw in school was Xie Zongru or Xie Zhiqi.

It is very possible that Xie Zhiqi also returned to 1998.

If he went back to 1998, would it be possible that Xie Zongru is actually Xie Zhiqi?

"Maybe we made a mistake from the beginning..." Huang Yuxuan suddenly said: "So the similarity between Xie Zongru and Xie Zhiqi in 1998 is not just a coincidence..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yuxuan was very upset and blamed herself: "If I had discovered it earlier, things might not be like this."

"Huang Yuxuan..." Wu Wenlei comforted: "Don't think so much now. We don't know whether Xie Zhiqi can go back to the past like you, but you only need to know that the only thing we can be sure of now is that as long as we Bringing back the Walkman will allow you to go back in time and prevent what happened that day. There is still a possibility of saving everything."

"Then..., if Xie Zhiqi can really go back to the past, even if we find a way to let Chen Yunru escape what happened on New Year's Eve in 1999...,"

Huang Yuxuan shook her head: "But how do we know when Xie Zhiqi left? How long did he stay there? He may still find Chen Yunru to attack her again..."

After a pause, Huang Yuxuan continued: "No, in order to ensure that something like this will not happen, I think we should first clarify the relationship between Xie Zhiqi, no, Xie Zongru and Chen Yunru's incident back then."

Even though Xie Zhiqi did not tell Huang Yuxuan which nursing home Xie Zongru was in, Huang Yuxuan still found out the nursing home Xie Zongru was in through special channels.

Early the next morning, Huang Yuxuan followed Wu Wenlei to the nursing home.

The moment Huang Yuxuan saw Xie Zongru, even though she knew that the two brothers looked very similar, she couldn't help being surprised. They were so similar!It's almost like twins!
But compared to Xie Zhiqi's high-spiritedness, Xie Zongru looked a little depressed, his beard was unkempt, as if he hadn't groomed it for a long time, and his eyes were cloudy due to taking medicine, and it seemed he couldn't tell where he was.

After the hospital staff led Xie Zongru to sit down in front of Huang Yuxuan, Huang Yuxuan looked at the face that was exactly the same as Xie Zhiqi's, endured the strong hatred in her heart, took a deep breath, and asked:
"Xie Zongru, do you still remember what happened in 1998 and 1999? Xie Zhiqi said, you kept hearing a voice telling you to kill someone. Who was that person? What did he say to you? Is the person he wants you to kill Chen Yunru?"

I don't know if it was because of the medication, but Xie Zongru just sat there and dug at the stool, as if he didn't hear her question at all.

Huang Yuxuan patiently asked again: "Don't be silent and answer me. Is Chen Yunru's death related to you?"

After a long time, Xie Zongru said: "I can hear it, I can hear the sounds outside, and I can also see what is happening outside. I can even feel that I am alive outside, but the me outside is not me. It’s not me..." As he spoke, Xie Zongru became excited and shouted hoarsely: "No!!!"

It seemed like I was back on that rainy night again. I couldn't control myself and could only scream helplessly.

Holding his head tightly, Xie Zongru said tremblingly: "Obviously I am me, but I can only stay inside, listening to the other me talking, looking at what the other me wants me to see, I don't know why I can't To become like that, it’s not me, I’m not me, it’s really not me, I can’t possibly do that kind of thing, it’s really not me!! I didn’t!!”

Huang Yuxuan came close to Xie Zongru and stared into his eyes carefully: "You said that person is not you, is it Xie Zhiqi, that person is Xie Zhiqi, right?"

Looking at Huang Yuxuan's face, Xie Zongru suddenly became excited: "Chen, Chen Yunru?!!"

Xie Zongru, as if he had seen a ghost, hid behind the medical staff and shouted: "It's not me, it's really not me. It's all him and her who forced me. It's all him and her who forced me."
