My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 129 Visiting the Old House
On the way back, Shu Die glanced at Zhuang Xiao who was sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

At this moment, Zhuang Xiao was supporting his chin and looking sideways at the trees and lampposts that were receding outside the window.

While waiting at a traffic light, Shu Die couldn't help but ask, "How true is what he said?"

Zhuang Xiao turned around and squinted his eyes. "When you start to believe what a mentally ill person says, it means that you are not far from being mentally ill."

Shu Die finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It sounds like a horror story, but it turns out it's not true."

"Huh? You didn't say it wasn't true."

After hearing Zhuang Xiao's words, Shu Die's hands trembled and the car shook violently.

Zhuang Xiao quickly grabbed the handrail and said, "Hold steady, my lady!"

Shu Die's face turned pale. "But didn't you say not to believe what a mentally ill person says?"

"Yes." Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But what I mean is that what he said is true, but it is only true for him. There is no need to believe the 'illusion' part.

"In the final analysis, it was because of the excessive pressure from work and life, and then the miscarriage became the fuse that broke the tight string in the hearts of the couple.

"Their 'hallucinations' later on were actually just made up based on the people or things they saw around them.

"Didn't you notice? Their 'hallucinations' don't go beyond their common sense."

Of course, this was just Zhuang Xiao's words to Shu Die.

Zhuang Xiao only believes 30% of this explanation.

Another 70% of him believes that the so-called "hallucination" of An Shihong and his wife may be another timeline that changes from time to time.

But they don't have such a clear consciousness as their own, so they will fall into a "mental illness" state where they can't distinguish between reality and illusion.

Of course, the above is all speculation.

Shu Die thought about what Zhuang Xiao said and her face turned even paler. "That's a bit scary."

She shook her head, and just as the red light turned green, she stepped on the accelerator and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Of course it's the old house." Zhuang Xiao yawned and shook the key in his hand. "Now that you have the key, where do you think it is most likely to be used?"

Shu Die pursed her lips and said, "Upstairs from your house, An Shihong's old house."

"That's right, so go back and take a look."

Zhuang Xiao looked at her with a half-smile on his face, "It just so happens that if my parents are at home, you can get away with it, and it will be easier to fool your dad in the future."

Shu Die's pretty face tightened, "I won't go on a blind date with you."

"Pfft..." Zhuang Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Sister, although you are indeed from a wealthy family and pretty, I am not the kind of person who would flatter someone who doesn't like you.

"Did you have too many lapdogs in the past, making you feel that everyone who sees you will kneel down and lick you like a lapdog?
"You also saw the policewoman last night. She is as tall as you, and her figure, temperament and appearance are not worse than yours. She also treated me well. She is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau. She is only two years older than you, and we grew up together in junior high school.

"I'm leaving such a good girl behind to lick your shoes? Let me be frank, am I sick?"

"." Shu Die pursed her lips, said nothing, and just drove forward.

Zhuang Xiao didn't say anything else.

This time he didn't intend to spoil the other party.

To put it bluntly, emotions are mutual.

Originally Shudie was good to him, so he would naturally be good to Shudie.

He couldn't do such a thing as trying to please someone who was not welcome, and he didn't have the time to warm up the iceberg. There was no conversation along the way, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

It was not until the Bentley drove to the gate of Zhuang Xiao's parents' community that Shu Die suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry, I was prejudiced. Because I didn't want to listen to my father, I took my anger out on you. I apologize to you."

Shu Die is a good girl after all.

Zhuang Xiao is the typical person who responds to soft words but not hard ones.

Seeing this, his attitude softened a lot, "I am also wrong. In fact, I was also upset because of something on my mind. So a lot of trivial things made me very annoyed. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I'm sorry."

Shu Die's eyes flickered, "How about we start as friends? We'll talk about the future later."

What she lacked in her life was adventure, and although what was happening now had nothing to do with her, she found it very interesting.

For example, the story of An Shihong and his wife.

I was sweating and terrified when I heard it, but afterwards I felt a sense of complete satisfaction.

And she was even more curious about what role Zhuang Xiao played in it.

Why was he able to remain calm when he heard that he was the target of two psychopaths, and what was he looking for?
What is the connection between An Shihong’s case and Professor An Lan, whom he is investigating?
Why did he sometimes look at me as if he were a close acquaintance?
Shu Die was very curious.

"no problem."

Zhuang Xiao stretched out his hand, lightly squeezed her slender fingers, and then let go. "I may need your help in the future, but I may not tell you what I need to do even if you ask. Is this okay?"

Shu Die nodded, "Of course, but you can't leave me alone. This is an exchange."

"make a deal."

Zhuang Xiao's answer satisfied Shu Die.

So after the car was parked at the roadside parking space, Shu Die got out and followed Zhuang Xiao into the community.

Zhuang Xiao looked back and found that she was tense. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's not like you're meeting her parents."

Shu Die glared at him, "How can I not be nervous? What if they misunderstood? Can they not go to your house?"

"I didn't plan to go back in the first place. If I go back, I'll be dragged around for a long time." Zhuang Xiao yawned, "Let's just go to the seventh floor and knock on the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Xiao held his forehead helplessly, "But it seems it's too late."

Shu Die followed his gaze and saw an ambulance parked in front of the apartment building, surrounded by a group of neighbors.

And in the innermost are the loud-voiced Zhuang Xiao’s father and mother.

They saw Zhuang Xiao at a glance, "Make way! Make way! Son! Come here quickly!"

Zhuang Xiao had no choice but to take Shu Die, whose whole body was stiff, over there.

Dad and Mom glanced at Shudie. Zhuang Xiao's dad was about to say something, but Mom pulled him back and then said, "Xiaodie is back?"

Shu Die nodded stiffly, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

The mother took out a key and threw it to Zhuang Xiao. "Grandma Lu upstairs fell and broke her leg when she came home. Her child is in the mental hospital and can't come back. Your father and I will take her to the hospital. You go up and help close the door."

As she spoke, she and her father hurriedly got into the ambulance. Zhuang Xiao only saw an old man lying on the stretcher in the ambulance.

Then the ambulance closed its door and sped away, and the other neighbors who were watching also dispersed.

Zhuang Xiao and Shu Die looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes.

There's no one upstairs at home now, isn't this a good opportunity to investigate?
