My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 225 The Suspicious Body

Upon hearing this, Dong Weirui immediately gave Zhuang Xiao an apologetic look, then turned around and followed the policeman downstairs.

At this time, a policeman came over and handed Zhuang Xiao a cigarette, "Boss Zhuang, would you like one?"

Zhuang Xiao waved his hand and said, "I've already quit."

Then he smiled and said, "Uncle Li, we don't have to be so polite."

That’s right, the person who came over to hand him a cigarette was Li Ming from the Municipal Bureau.

In the past three months, Zhuang Xiao made special efforts to find reasons to follow Dong Zeyu and Dong Weirui and "get to know" him again.

Li Ming lit up a cigarette and said with emotion, "Then I will call you Xiaozhuang. To be honest, it's great that you three kids grew up together and didn't change because of your status changes."

Zhuang Xiao also laughed, "I don't care whether my friends have money or not."

"Anyway, none of us are as rich as you, right?"

"That's not the case." Zhuang Xiao squinted his eyes, "Just don't ask me to borrow money."

“Haha~~~” Li Ming laughed to death.

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Xiao asked, "Uncle Li, is there anything else I can do about this case? If not, can I leave?"

"Wait a little longer, maybe there's still someone who needs your help."

As soon as the topic came up, the smile on Li Ming's face disappeared, and a worried look reappeared on his face, "There is something fishy about this case."

Zhuang Xiao's heart moved, "Should I listen to this?"

"Well, there's no suspicion on you. It doesn't matter. Maybe we still need your help to see if you can provide some clues. After all, this is your land." Li Ming took a puff of cigarette.

Zhuang Xiao was relieved, "Uncle Li, what do you say?"

"Ah, that's where you are. It's hard to say if this is the first scene."

Li Ming was also a little confused. "We searched for a long time, but there was no trace in this village, you know."

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled. "There are no shoe prints or anything? No tire tracks either?"

"None at all, and those that exist are from at least a few months ago." Li Ming shook his head and sighed.

Zhuang Xiao nodded. "I brought people here two months ago. That's when the surveillance equipment was installed. We definitely didn't see the body then."

"So the body should have died within two months. We have to wait for the results from the forensic department, but the arson must have taken place between this afternoon and evening." This is where Li Ming's confusion ended.

Recalling the scene in the warehouse basement, Zhuang Xiao's heart moved, "Uncle Li, you suspect this is not the first scene because there are no signs of burning?"

"Yes." Li Ming couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xiao with a higher opinion.

As expected of someone who can become a big boss at such a young age, his observation skills are so sharp.

But the truth can be discovered from some clues.

"The body was completely carbonized. Apart from the barely discernible human shape, nothing else could be seen."

Li Ming scratched his half-white flat head while holding a cigarette in his mouth. "But the weird thing is that we didn't find any traces of gasoline or burning in the basement. There were traces on the ground, but they were obviously caused by the body burning first. There were no traces of burning in the warehouse, the chicken farm, or even other places in the village.

"But this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that when we arrived, the body was still warm. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I think I understand." Zhuang Xiao nodded, "It means the fire that burned the bodies was extinguished not long ago."

"Yes!" Li Ming gritted his teeth and said, "But there are no signs of smoke or fire on the walls and ceiling of the basement! There are no traces of remaining gasoline!" Zhuang Xiao knew why they were confused.

Because this means that the body was indeed burned in the basement.

But there were no traces in the basement, which means that the body might not have been burned in the basement.

Plus there are no traces around, so if you push back
No one knows how the body was transported here, and then it burned for a very long time until it carbonized. Then the fire went out, and the body appeared in the basement. The police arrived soon after.

Although it was hellish, the body was still warm at that time, which meant that the fire had been extinguished for less than an hour.

"You know, this feeling." Li Ming couldn't help but light another cigarette, "It means that this body can fly, or it can fly when it is still alive, and it will burn while flying, and it will burn for at least one or two hours, and it will not leave any traces around, such as corpse oil or blood and tissue. Then after it is burned to charcoal, it will open the entrance to the basement through its mind, then float in, fall to the ground, and then we are here.
"Oh, and it didn't leave any traces when it flew in the air."

Zhuang Xiao got a lot of information.

For example, when the police arrived, the entrance to the basement was definitely open, and there were no clues left on it.

When you think about it this way, it's indeed a bit outrageous.

But Zhuang Xiao had experienced a similar situation once.

Although the specific situations are somewhat different, but... they are so damn similar!

That’s right! He was referring to the ancient Moon Mummy in the underground secret room of Dongfang No. 3 Middle School in timeline []!

A mummy, a carbonized corpse after burning, right?
It cannot be said that they are completely identical, but it can be said that they are very similar.

There are no clues at all. The body seemed to appear out of nowhere. There were no fingerprints, shoe prints, bloodstains, or anything else!

But there are actually differences.

That time it was an absolutely secret room, but this time the entrance to the basement was open.

That time the body had been dead for a long time, but this time it was only recently dead.

At least the fire had only been burning for a short time.

So it's also a timeline change?
A corpse from a different timeline appeared in this timeline?
But it shouldn't be.
There should be only one timeline.

Whenever he "goes back in time", it is said that the timeline changes, but in fact the "future" disappears. The starting point is from the time when he "goes back in time", and the period after that is the new "future".

What he called "timeline changes" were just settings he made based on his own memories.

Others don't have similar memories.

But in the end, An Lan was able to use her physical body to return from the future to the past.
So the body was someone from the past or someone from the future?
It was burned for a long time after death, until it was carbonized and the fire was about to go out. It traveled through time and came to this moment?

But we still have to wait for the results from the forensic doctor to know the details.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but look up and ask, "Uncle Li, how long will it take for the forensic doctor to give the results?"

"The DNA test will take twelve hours, and the cause of death will take about three to five hours. They will be doing the autopsy all night, so they should know the cause of death by tomorrow morning. But the identity of the deceased will probably be revealed by noon tomorrow, and that's only if we're lucky.

"If the DNA database doesn't match, then we're still in the dark. Or we can rely on our luck to find some marks on the body, but the body has already turned to charcoal, so it's unlikely that we'll find anything, including fingerprints."

Both fell into silence.

Zhuang Xiao’s guess must not be told.

When Li Ming finished smoking three cigarettes in a row, Liu Lang came up from below. After seeing Li Ming, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Boss Zhuang, Captain Li, Captain Dong wants you to come over. There is a problem with the surveillance."
