My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 156 Find the original things first
"Disappeared?"

Zhuang Xiao sat up straight subconsciously.

His reaction made the eyes of the Dong brothers and sisters freeze.

They are both police officers and both attended police academy in college, so they understand Zhuang Xiao's current situation very well.

His reaction showed that he was very concerned about the matter and might even know something.

At the very least, he should know the victim or one of the people who called the police.

Maybe he knew both of them.

Dong Weirui thought of the files he had read.

On the day the victim died, Zhuang Xiao was actually with Gu Shiyue and Shu Die from noon on.

Then Zhuang Xiao left for school alone, and what happened next was what happened in the case.

The next morning, Xu Guoping called the police and reported that Gu Shiyue's body had been found.

But the body disappeared.

Zhuang Xiao was very confused about this. "So how did it disappear? Was the body chopped up and then shipped out?"

"That kind of thing is not so easy to do."

Dong Weirui explained: "The police did have some suspicions at first, but after testing, they found that this was not the case at all."

Zhuang Xiao leaned forward slightly, "What do you mean?"

"They searched through all the trash cans around the school, and because the garbage truck hadn't arrived yet, the garbage hadn't been taken out, but they didn't find anything like that," Dong Weirui explained.

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "Maybe someone committed a crime the night before and took him away?"

But then he denied it himself, "That's not right. If someone had taken the body away the night before, Xu Guoping would not have called the police to report that he had found a body."

"Yes, and the most crucial point is that there is no luminol reaction in that basement." Dong Weirui looked at him, "Do you know what luminol reaction is?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded gently, "I know a thing or two."

The so-called luminol reaction means that even if the blood at the crime scene can no longer be seen with the naked eye after being cleaned, traces of blood can still be found using the luminol test.

As long as luminol and activator solution are sprayed within the range, the iron in the blood will immediately catalyze the luminol's luminescence reaction, causing it to produce a blue light.

So it's useless even if you wash away all the blood.

Dong Weirui said that there was no reaction in the secret room after the luminol test, which means there was no blood in the secret room.

"So Xu Guoping lied?" Zhuang Xiao asked again.

"I'm not sure, but we did extract hair and dandruff from the scene. According to DNA testing, some of them belong to Gu Shiyue and the previous victim, Principal An Lan. We also extracted fingerprints from both of them."

Dong Weirui was halfway through her words when Dong Zeyu responded, "So, the two of them have been in that secret room before?"

It was also the first time he heard about the dossier in such detail.

"Yes, but there is nothing else besides that." Dong Weirui nodded.

Zhuang Xiao stroked his slightly stubbled chin, "So the final result is disappearance?"

"The official definition is 'missing'. After all, she never showed up again, and the police couldn't find her after two years of searching." Dong Weirui added, "But Xu Guoping insisted that he saw the body."

Zhuang Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Did he see a fresh corpse or a waxed mummy?"

The Dong siblings looked at each other, and then Dong Weirui shook his head, "I don't know about that. It's not written in the file, but Uncle Li was also involved in this case. Maybe we can go ask him later."

She didn't think about it at all, because compared to Zhuang Xiao's case, she didn't care much about this case.

"I see."

Zhuang Xiao looked up and asked, "Where were all my belongings after I was arrested?"

When he came out of prison, he only had his clothes and his ID card, nothing else.

"I have returned everything to my uncle and aunt. They should be at your home now." Dong Zeyu hesitated.

Because Zhuang Xiao's parents had passed away, he didn't know whether he should mention it.

Zhuang Xiao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, "Then where is my house key?"

"It's with me." Dong Zeyu said, "When my uncle and aunt passed away, both funerals were handled by a big boss. He said he was a friend of my uncle. "The key was originally given to him, but he said it was inconvenient for him to hold it, and it would be troublesome for you to give it to him after you come out, so he let me hold it first."

In fact, he hadn't said anything else.

The big boss's expression was not very good at that time.

He was also very annoyed when mentioning Zhuang Xiao, and it was obvious that he was angry at Zhuang Xiao for not being able to live up to his expectations.

Perhaps he felt that it was because of Zhuang Xiao that his parents passed away.

And that rich man has a very good relationship with Zhuang Xiao's parents, so this happened.

He gave the key to Dong Zeyu, probably because he didn't want to see Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao guessed what happened from his reaction.

With Uncle Shu's personality, it is impossible that he doesn't know what day he will be released.

But he never thought of contacting me. It seems that it’s not because the relationship has faded, but because he thinks that my parents’ death is due to me.
Then Shudie must have sneaked back on her own this time.

Zhuang Xiao exhaled, then stood up and said, "So shall we go to your house and get the key now?"

"Okay, I just drove here." Dong Zeyu said immediately: "Let's go, let's go back together, and then we'll take you home."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
-
After getting the keys, they drove Zhuang Xiao home.

Standing at the door of his house, Zhuang Xiao took a deep breath, then inserted the key into the keyhole of the security door and turned it.

With a click, the security door, which had not been opened for many years, made a slightly awkward sound and was then slowly opened.

Zhuang Xiao and two others walked in.

After entering the room, Zhuang Xiao was stunned.

Because all I see is the way he looked when he last left home in 2012.

He thought it would be shabby, but it looked cozy instead.

Only the layer of dust on the sofa and table showed that no one had been here for a long time.

"My uncle and aunt said similar things before they left."

Dong Zeyu stood beside him and said in a low voice, "They said they wanted you to not feel strange when you come back, so they decorated the house to look like it did before."

Zhuang Xiao was silent for a moment, then walked towards his bedroom.

He put his hand on the door handle and hesitated before slowly pushing it open.

The layout of the room is exactly the same as it was twelve years ago.

He even saw a lot of clothes hanging on the hangers, all covered with plastic bags. Looking through the plastic bags, he saw that the labels on the clothes had not been cut off, and there were several shoe boxes in front of the hangers.

"These were also bought by your uncle and aunt before they left. They said you wouldn't need to buy any more clothes after you come back."

Dong Zeyu raised his eyes and looked at Zhuang Xiao who was standing in front of him with his back to him and his sister. He saw that Zhuang Xiao did not turn back, but his shoulders were trembling slightly, and he was suppressing sobs.

He didn't say anything, and Dong Weirui didn't say anything either.

But the sobbing sound went away quickly. When Zhuang Xiao turned around, except for the slightly red eyes, his face had long since returned to calm. It was even impossible to notice that he had such a huge emotional fluctuation just now.

The Dong siblings tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.

Dong Zeyu asked, "Do you want me to take you back there?"

He was referring to the Luo River beach.

"No, it's getting late, you guys should go back first." Zhuang Xiao smiled, "You guys still have to go to work tomorrow."

Dong Zeyu hesitated a little, "Really? It's not impossible for me to accompany you at night."

Dong Weirui's serious almond-shaped eyes also revealed concern.

"Really, there's no need. You guys go back quickly." Zhuang Xiao pushed the two of them out the door. The smile on his face slowly disappeared only after they went downstairs. He then turned around and went into the house and closed the security door.

Next, he has to find the original things.

For example, the “remote control” and the four “phone cards”.
