My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 18: The Beast is Out

"Is he okay?"

Outside the interrogation room, Dong Zeyu was squatting there smoking. When he saw his master Wang Li pushing the door open, he hurried over to help light a cigarette and ask some questions.

"He tried to commit suicide, but we stopped him. Now this guy won't say anything. We just drew his blood and collected his fingerprints and sent them to the city police station to compare to the DNA database."

Wang Li, who is in his forties but already bald, took a puff of cigarette and continued, "This matter is not something that our community police can handle now. Our colleagues from the criminal police team will come over and take over the work immediately, but we also need cooperation. For example, we have to investigate the Luohua Property first.

"By the way, where's your friend? Have you finished asking questions?"

"After asking, they came to find me, but who knew this would happen. I asked him to go back and rest first." Dong Zeyu hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me what you have to say. By the way!" Wang Li slapped his forehead, "Since they came to you, do you know the identity of the victim?"

"That's what I want to say." Dong Zeyu's expression was sad. "The victim is the only daughter of the chairman of Shushi Group."

"Comfort Group?!" Wang Li was stunned and asked quickly, "Is it that Comfort Group?!"

"Isn't it the Comfort Group?" Dong Ze smiled bitterly.

The crow's feet at the corners of Wang Li's eyes became more and more obvious. After hearing this, he couldn't help but suck on the cigarette butt, "This is troublesome!"

Let’s not talk about public opinion for now, let’s just talk about the case itself.

If this matter involves a giant company, it would be extremely complicated. What should they do if they are asked to solve the case within a deadline?
I can only work hard overtime.

"Master, is it true that we can't find out that person's identity tonight?" Dong Zeyu asked.

"We can definitely find out, but it's hard to say tonight."

Wang Li looked around while holding the cigarette butt, and Dong Zeyu hurriedly went to find an unfinished bottle of purified water for him.

Wang Li threw the cigarette butt into the bottle and put it out, then said: "That guy didn't say a word, and he didn't have his ID card or driver's license. Although we collected blood and fingerprints, it would be a waste of time to compare information at the Municipal Bureau, and it would be even harder to find him if he didn't have a criminal record.

"So when the comrades from the criminal police team arrive, let them continue the interrogation, and we will go to Luohua Property."

Dong Zeyu nodded, "So we're going tonight?"

"Nonsense! This must be a major case! We must do it as soon as possible." Wang Li glared at him, then took out his phone and sent him a WeChat message, "This is the address and contact information of the general manager of Luohua Property. You can drive the car later."

"Okay, Master. I'll call home and tell them I won't be going out for dinner tonight."

"Go quickly."

Seeing Wang Li nodded in agreement, Dong Zeyu quickly found a corner to call Zhuang Xiao.

The call was picked up immediately, but no sound came out. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard in the receiver.

Dong Zeyu asked cautiously, "Brother Zhuang, are you okay?"

".I am very calm now. I have never been so calm before."

Zhuang Xiao's slightly distorted voice poured into Dong Zeyu's ears from the receiver. His voice was calm, as if there was no ups and downs at all. "What information do you have?"

"The man's identity has not been confirmed yet. The city police's criminal police team will be here soon. But if he refuses to give in, he probably won't say anything tonight, or he will make up excuses to delay time and deceive us."

Dong Zeyu's brain was also burning brain cells rapidly, "Our community police from Longteng Road Police Station will send people to Luohua Property to investigate the situation. Their property manager should be off work now, and we should call him over then.

“It takes ten minutes to get to your company building from here, but it’s the evening rush hour now, so it might take twenty minutes. Taking into account the police preparations, we’ll be there in about half an hour.

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, don't be impulsive! Don't think of taking the opportunity to go to No. 2104, Unit , Building , Xinghua City to find Shen Xing, the general manager of Luohua Property! Let us handle this matter!" "If he is taken hostage and the matter becomes a big deal! Public opinion will definitely not be acceptable! The TV station will also have to send someone to broadcast it live! At that time, we will have to work overtime to investigate the case! The municipal bureau and even the province will be alerted! It will be very troublesome to mobilize a large number of resources at that time! Don't be impulsive!"

".I see." After a pause, Zhuang Xiao's voice came from the sound of the wind on the other end of the microphone, "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Zeyu slowly exhaled and muttered to himself, "There are less than five hours left, Brother Zhuang. I can only help you up to this point."

At the edge of the Luo River Bridge, Zhuang Xiao leaned against the fence and glanced at the brightly lit high-rise buildings in the distance and the water of the Luo River rolling forward. He took out a pack of freshly bought soft Yuxi cigarettes, opened the package, took out a cigarette and put it under his nose.

The faint scent of plums lingered around his nose, making his mind calmer. He now had guesses about many things that he had not figured out before.

Master Dong's master took people out to mediate a conflict between the property management and the owners, but they were there for an entire afternoon, so it was obvious that this was not a conflict with just one owner.

It turns out that the property they were mediating was Luohua Property, so what issue were they mediating?
The air conditioner is broken and needs repair.
Haha, probably our company is not the only one with broken air conditioners.

The reason they were able to return to the police station on time the previous times was because Shu Die's whereabouts had been known, so there was no need for it.

This time they were delayed and couldn't come back because they couldn't find Shu Die.

I'm afraid the other party had been looking for Shu Die the entire afternoon, and only after confirming that she was in the police station did they use the excuse of mediating a disturbance and use the police to bring them back.

From this, it can be seen that the other party may have become wary, or in other words, the other party knows that someone on "their" side knows that someone will do something bad to Shu Die.

But they still did it, so Shu Die had a reason to die.

And her biggest reason for coming back was to check the company's accounts.

So the best place to go now is not the property company manager’s house, but the boss’s house of your own company.

Dong Zeyu will help me delay for a while, so I will go to the boss now to see if he knows that Shu Die is dead.

And after you finish this, you have to go back to find the property manager immediately.

The time range is half an hour.

Zhuang Xiao raised his arm and checked the time.

It's 20:21 now.

When Shu Die died, his mind went blank at first, and then he quickly calmed down.

He looked at the time at that time.

20 o'clock exactly.

According to the currently speculated "time reversal" principle, "time reversal" will occur 5 hours after Shu Die's death, which is 1: a.m. "tomorrow".

So Zhuang Xiao already knew what to do after finding the property company manager.

"'Time' will 'go back', so during these four hours, I can do something out of the ordinary without worrying about the 'rules', provided that I don't get caught by the police before I achieve my goal."

Zhuang Xiao reached into his trouser pocket and found the kitchen knife with sheath that he had just brought from home.

Then he took out a windproof lighter and put it to his mouth. A hint of faint blue appeared, followed by a bright scarlet flickering.

"Cough cough."

After coughing violently a few times, Zhuang Xiao threw away the cigarette and stomped it out, "I really need to quit smoking."

He put away his cell phone, turned over, got on the electric scooter parked on the side of the road, and then merged into the traffic.
