My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 231 Identity of the Corpse

I made an appointment with Gu Shiyue to pick her up when she came back, and then the two of them hung up the video.

Zhuang Xiao looked at the time. It was already half past twelve.

But Shu Die hasn't come back yet.

Zhuang Xiao took out his cell phone and called Shu Die.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Just at this moment, the security door outside rang.

Zhuang Xiao stood up and walked out of the study, then saw a graceful figure with long straight black hair just entering the room.

It’s Shu Die.

She had the same long hair, and wore slim-fit light blue jeans, a white T-shirt underneath, and a khaki windbreaker outside, looking neat and tidy.

But Zhuang Xiao knew that she was definitely not the Shu Die he knew!
In other words, it wasn’t the Shu Die who just came back last night!
It’s a very simple truth. The Shu Die that Zhuang Xiao is familiar with has waist-length hair.

But this Shudie's hair covers her hips, and it is curled, or in other words, it has a hairstyle similar to Tomoyo's in "Cardcaptor Sakura", with straight top and curly bottom.

She also had obvious dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were lifeless. Her eyes, which originally seemed to be sparkling with stars, had become much dimmer.

But when she saw Zhuang Xiao, she was obviously stunned.

But she soon reacted, and a smile suddenly appeared on her numb and lifeless face.

She looked up at the clock on the wall, then walked over without changing her shoes, "Brother Xiaoxiao, what are you planning to eat for lunch? I'll make it now! Wait a minute! Don't leave yet!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhuang Xiao to refuse, she immediately rushed into the kitchen with the vegetables in her hand, hurriedly found her apron, and started cooking.

Zhuang Xiao had a strange expression on his face.

When did Shudie learn to cook?

At this moment, the call he made was finally connected.

Shu Die's slightly cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Xiao watched Shu Die in the kitchen, who went from being hesitant and flustered to being able to cut vegetables with a knife neatly and efficiently. He listened to Shu Die's voice on the other end of the receiver, with no expression on his face.

"Nothing, are you still busy?"

"Well, it's almost over here. It will take me a day or two to hand over all the things. After all, it's not just the Luoyang branch, but the affairs of the entire Central Plains region. You can order some takeout for lunch. I'm busy here, so I'll hang up now."

After the call was hung up, Zhuang Xiao sighed.

The person on the other end of the phone wasn't the Shu Die he knew.
First of all, Shu Die doesn’t have such a strong ambition for career. Maybe she did have it originally, but after being with him, the girl no longer has any ambition for career at all.

And eat.

Shu Die knew very well that he didn't eat takeout.

It’s not that he can’t eat it, but he ate too much “in the past” and got tired of it, so he never eats takeout in this timeline.

After all, my wealth is here now.

Moreover, Shu Die on the phone was obviously a little panicked. The reason she didn't dare to tell him too much was because she was afraid of being exposed.

But there was actually only one reason that made Zhuang Xiao confirm that the person over there was not the Shu Die he knew.

Zhuang Xiao dialed Secretary Zhang's number and the call was quickly connected.

"Boss Zhuang, what do you want me to do?"

"How is the company's handover going?"

"The handover of the Central Plains Region will be completed this afternoon, and I will leave tomorrow to handle the handover of the North China Region."

"Okay, please."

"The duty lies."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Have you seen Shudie?"

"Mr. Xiao Shu? No."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xiao was silent for a long time.

That’s right, regarding the business handover, Shudie actually doesn’t need to be involved at all.

And she didn't even participate!

So Shu Die on the other end of the phone lied.

The Shudie who came back last night was not the real Shudie! Zhuang Xiao remained calm on the surface, but was very anxious in his heart.

So where did Shu Die really go?
Why did her cell phone appear in Shudie's hands?
Is she still in the capital?
impossible!
Gu Shiyue said with her own mouth that she personally sent Shudie on the plane!
Zhuang Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Soon this premonition came true.

His cell phone rang.

It’s Dong Weirui calling.

"It's time to eat!"

At the same time, Shu Die in the kitchen had already prepared the meal and brought it out.

Zhuang Xiao took a look.

Stir-fried pork with green peppers, braised spareribs, and scrambled eggs with leeks are all his favorite home-cooked dishes.

These three dishes are delicious and tasty.

This is not something Shu Die can do.

Zhuang Xiao nodded and answered the phone.

Dong Weirui's serious voice sounded over there, "Where are you?"

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Shu Die.

Shu Die, who was sitting opposite him and looked obviously tired with dark circles under her eyes, was holding her bowl and looking at him carefully. When she saw him looking at her, she gave him a cute silly smile.

Zhuang Xiao sighed in his heart, then said calmly: "At home."

"Is Xiaodie with you?" the person on the other end of the phone asked immediately.

Zhuang Xiao paused for a moment, his heart sinking, "No."

"Come to the Municipal Bureau. I hope you are mentally prepared." Dong Weirui said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Zhuang Xiao didn't know how he felt at the moment.

He had already guessed something.

So he glanced at the food on the table, put away his phone and stood up, "I have something to do and need to go out. You eat first."

"and many more!"

Shu Die panicked.

She hurriedly stood up and blocked Zhuang Xiao's way, "Can you please not leave?"

Zhuang Xiao looked at the girl seriously for the first time.

Her face, which was identical to Shu Die's, was full of fatigue, and now there was even more panic and helplessness.

Seeing Zhuang Xiao looking at her, there was only pleading in her dim starry eyes.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiao was unmoved and wanted to leave, she immediately knelt down and held Zhuang Xiao's arms tightly with both hands, "Please! Don't go! I will do anything!"

Zhuang Xiao sighed, and slowly but firmly pried her hands apart, "I'm busy, sorry."

After saying that, he left without any reluctance.

Only Shu Die was left behind, sitting on the ground in a daze, like a broken doll, her eyes fixed on his back for a long time.
-
Fifteen minutes later, Zhuang Xiao arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

Dong Weirui had been waiting for him here for a long time.

Seeing him coming, Dong Weirui took him to the office with some documents in his hand.

Seeing Dong Weirui seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhuang Xiao pursed his lips and asked, "Is there any result?"

Dong Weirui nodded slightly.

Zhuang Xiao held his forehead helplessly, "Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared."

"The cause of death of that body has been determined by the forensic doctor. The victim was burned alive."

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Weirui continued, "After DNA comparison, the victim's DNA matched Xiaodie's DNA at a rate of 99.9%. In other words, the deceased was Xiaodie."

Even though he had guessed the result, Zhuang Xiao still felt cold inside.

Sure enough, the worst result happened.

But there is still a chance to make amends.

Zhuang Xiao immediately looked up, "Any other clues?"
