My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 179 They are still as sharp as ever

Dong Zeyu is a man after all, and his emotions are not as strong as Shu Die and Dong Weirui.

Or he felt that his way of repaying his gratitude was to try his best to help Zhuang Xiao integrate into society.

So he looked up and asked, "Principal An has been dead for twelve years. What are you still investigating? Are you trying to find evidence of her guilt to overturn your case? I think this is a bit difficult."

He was not trying to attack Zhuang Xiao, but was investigating the An Lan case, which he and Dong Weirui had been doing.

Especially in recent years, after they became police officers, they studied the files almost day and night, and sought consultation from veteran police officers who had handled the case.

But even so they found no clues.

What else can be discovered now?
Dong Zeyu couldn't help but persuade him: "Brother, I think it's better to cherish the present and focus on the future, what do you think?"

He knew that some people would feel that their lives were ruined, so he insisted on overturning the verdict.

Because that may be the only spiritual support that allows them to survive in this life.

But this is not the case with Zhuang Xiao.

He did kill someone, and because he was a minor he got a light sentence.

Yes, it was a light sentence.

Even though he was no match for An Lan in terms of "value", the court still gave him a light sentence in accordance with the law and did not do anything against him afterwards.

To put it bluntly, even without talking about the country, just looking at An Lan's connections and old acquaintances, it would be easy to deal with him, but he doesn't have them.

Now Zhuang Xiao still insists on investigating, is he planning to overturn the verdict?
How to overturn this case?
You said that An Lan had planned everything to kill the people around you decades ago, so you killed her in self-defense?

Who will reply if I say this?

Decades ago? Your dad was just born decades ago!

Dong Zeyu knew that there would be no result, so he thought it would be better to let Zhuang Xiao cherish the present and look forward to the future.

Anyway, the people around Zhuang Xiao won’t look down on him.

"Of course we need to look to the future, but it's not the right time yet." Zhuang Xiao answered with a smile, "I have never thought about overturning the verdict. I just want a better future for myself."

Of course he knew Dong Zeyu meant well, but that was not what he wanted.

Putting aside whether he would feel at ease if his deceased parents and Gu Shiyue continued to live like this, just the "plan" for December 2024, 12, Zhuang Xiao felt like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

"Do you understand the feeling of a close person dying in front of you or leaving clues for you after many years before dying?"

As soon as Zhuang Xiao said this, he felt a lot more relaxed.

The Dong siblings and Shu Die suddenly raised their heads.

All three of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Because based on the information in their hands and what Zhuang Xiao said, they had already roughly guessed something.

"Brother Xiao, have you seen how we die?"

Shu Die held his arm tightly and refused to let go.

Originally, she just thought that Zhuang Xiao would take action to kill An Lan in advance after seeing the "schedule", and would even give up his own life for it.

But now. It turns out that Brother Xiao has already experienced that kind of thing?
A picture flashed through Shu Die's mind.

If Xiaoge died in front of me
Just thinking about it, she felt her chest hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. Although Dong Weirui's voice was still calm, Zhuang Xiao could hear the heaviness in her tone, "Can you go back to the past?"

Her words seemed to have broken a layer of window paper, and Dong Zeyu and Shu Die both subconsciously held their breath.

Until Zhuang Xiao nodded calmly.

"can."

Dong Zeyu immediately raised the information in his hand, "So the plans above were actually successful? And then you went back in time and killed her to prevent the plan from being implemented in advance?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "Almost."

Shu Die slapped Zhuang Xiao's thigh and suddenly realized, "No wonder Brother Xiao asked me to keep an eye on Sister Yueyue this afternoon! Is it because she died in the afternoon originally?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded, but didn't say anything this time.

Dong Weirui continued: "Going back to the past should not be unlimited, but there are necessary conditions to start it."

Dong Zeyu responded quickly, "So you're not looking up information to overturn the case! But to find the triggering condition, right?"

He lowered his head and quickly read through the information again, then suddenly realized, "It's death! It's the death node, right? You have to do something related to it to go back to the past! You just want to know what that thing is!"

These people are so damn smart and sharp!

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, that's right. Every time I look back, I need to find the 'cause and effect chain' corresponding to the relevant deceased person, and then I end the 'effect' before I can go back to the beginning of the 'cause'.

"This time I want to find out the cause of Gu Shiyue's death."

Dong Zeyu quickly got into the state, his green bean eyes were very sharp, "According to the information, it should have been Professor An Lan who killed Gu Shiyue personally, but you killed her in advance, so Gu Shiyue did not die at her hands."

Dong Weirui's tone remained calm. "The information says that if Gu Shiyue had a proper understanding of the inside story of the 'plan', then she would make the right 'choice'. So."

Shu Die was immediately furious, "Sister Yueyue committed suicide! But if she did commit suicide, how can Brother Xiao go back to the past?"

Cause and effect, cause and effect, both the “cause” and the “effect” are gone, how can he go back?

"Take your time to look for it. There's no rush." Zhuang Xiao patted her on the back and said in a gentle voice, "It doesn't matter when you find it. I've been very tired recently. I just want to relax."

Looking at his face, Shu Die opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

No wonder she always felt that Xiaoge's eyes revealed fatigue, but he kept running around, always feeling that there was something driving him from behind.

So that’s it.
And she suddenly thought of something, and her green fingers subconsciously grasped Zhuang Xiao's sleeves, "Then Xiao Ge, if you go back to the past, will I forget you?"

Dong Zeyu suddenly spoke up, "I used to be nicknamed 'Frozen Eel Master'. I've seen a lot of works with similar themes. Sometimes, for the sake of others' safety, one might deliberately not recognize them and shoulder everything on one's own."

Zhuang Xiao smiled, "I'm not stupid. In fact, I'm quite selfish. The reason why I want to save everyone is mainly for myself, because I will be happy only when everyone is alive and by my side."

Dong Weirui's beautiful face slightly condensed, "But the deadline of the 'plan' is the last day of this year."

If the problem is not resolved before that day, no one can say what will happen then.

"That's almost three months away." Zhuang Xiao showed a gentle, slightly tired smile for the first time. "I'm really tired. I just want to take a few days off. You guys can accompany me to play around these few days, okay?"

But in fact, he already knew the reason for Gu Shiyue's death.

And I also know how to "go back in time".

But they would definitely not agree with that approach.
