My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 292 Do you still want to go in?

Seeing Zhuang Xiao typing a bunch of words, Dong Zeyu came over and asked, "How's it going, Brother Zhuang? Have you made any new discoveries?"

"No, just a summary. I'll send it to you."

Zhuang Xiao summarized the things he was going to do next and the analysis of the clues provided by An Lan into a document, and then sent a copy to Dong Zeyu and his sister, Gu Shiyue and Shu Die.

There was no reply from Gu Shiyue and Shu Die, so they must still be on the plane.

Dong Zeyu came over with a cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Zhuang Xiao, "Brother Zhuang, want one?"

Zhuang Xiao waved his hand. Dong Zeyu put away the cigarette and lit it himself.

Then he blew out a smoke ring and said, "Brother Zhuang, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "I don't have any pressure."

He was indeed under a lot of pressure, but now that he knows what to do next, he feels a lot less stressed.

He is motivated as long as he knows that he can make further progress and get better results every time.

"That's because you are confused."

Dong Zeyu took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Did you not have breakfast?"

Zhuang Xiao was startled, then nodded and said, "I lost my appetite at noon after having breakfast."

"Well, you're just too tense. You're always busy when something happens. I think you're a little too tired." Dong Zeyu advised him, "Sometimes it's really better to take a step back and see the world in a broader perspective."

Zhuang Xiao smiled but said nothing.

One step back, the sky is wider.
He knew that what Dong Zeyu said was right and that he was doing it for his own good.

But can he really retreat?
This step back will not make the world a better place for him, but will lead to eternal damnation and he will regret it in the future.

"Brother, stop talking."

Dong Weirui came over and interrupted Dong Zeyu, "He has his own ideas, and this makes him more comfortable."

She glanced at Zhuang Xiao and said, "If I ask him to do nothing, he will probably feel even worse."

Zhuang Xiao smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Wei Rui still understands me."

"Okay, okay, I'll go look after the basement." Dong Zeyu shrugged and walked out of the warehouse, leaving it to the two of them.

After he left, Zhuang Xiao turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Weirui? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Dong Weirui didn't say anything, but took out the plastic bag from behind and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "Eat something."

Zhuang Xiao took it and took a look. It was four pan-fried dumplings and a cup of soy milk.

Zhuang Xiao smiled, "I told you not to. Now I can't eat after lunch."

"Do you really have time to eat lunch at noon?" Dong Weirui asked him back.

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "How did you know?"

He laughed before he finished speaking, "It's normal to guess this."

The tone of the document he wrote indicated what he was going to do next, most of which could only be done in the "shadow world".

It would be strange if this could not be seen.

But he still didn't feel like eating.

"I don't have much appetite now, or--"

"Then let's do this." He was interrupted by Dong Weirui before he could finish his words.

Dong Weirui took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a one-dollar coin and placed it in his slightly calloused palm. "Let's guess the coin. If I guess right, you eat it. If you guess right, you don't eat it."

"That's fine." Zhuang Xiao was happy with it. "Then I'll guess the opposite."

"Okay, I'm on the front."

Dong Weirui quickly flicked up the coin, then grabbed it in mid-air and pressed it into the palm of his other hand.

Then she quickly opened it.

It is face up.

"Eat quickly."

Looking at Dong Weirui's serious but slightly smug almond eyes, Zhuang Xiao laughed, "No, you just grabbed the coin in mid-air, so it's heads if you say so, right?"

Dong Weirui nodded. "That makes sense. So what?"

Zhuang Xiao picked up the coin from her palm and flicked it into the air. "Of course I'm the one to throw it. I choose tails."

He caught the coin with his left hand and quickly covered it with his right hand.

Dong Weirui nodded, "Then I'll stick to the positive side."

Zhuang Xiao slowly moved his right hand away, and the smile on his face froze.

The coin still landed on the front side. Dong Weirui nodded, "Okay, eat it."

Zhuang Xiao had no choice but to wolf down a few fried dumplings and soy milk. Then he took the toilet paper from Dong Weirui and wiped his mouth while burping.

Dong Zeyu, who was guarding the warehouse door, suddenly yelled, "What the hell! What's that smell! Come here quickly!"

Zhuang Xiao's expression froze, and he followed Dong Weirui, who had turned serious from gentleness, and walked over.

When they arrived at the warehouse door, they also smelled the smell.

Zhuang Xiao was quite familiar with this smell, after all, he had smelled it several times.

Even if there wasn't this burnt smell of protein, the black smoke that started coming out of the basement couldn't be ignored.

"Master, go get the fire extinguisher from the car."

Zhuang Xiao raised his wrist to check the time. It was 9:01 am.

Sure enough, nothing changed this time, the burning corpse appeared at around 9 o'clock.

Well, that proves one thing!

Zhuang Xiao’s “time travel” is indeed effective on the “shadow world”!

But just as he was about to open the entrance to the basement, Dong Weirui patted him on the shoulder.

When he turned around, he saw Dong Weirui handing him a pair of disposable white rubber gloves, "Put them on."

Zhuang Xiao nodded and took the gloves and put them on.

At this time, Dong Zeyu also ran back panting, holding two fire extinguishers in his hands, one in each hand.

After Zhuang Xiao opened the basement, the three of them put on masks and went down one by one.

There was indeed a corpse burning below.

Zhuang Xiao immediately took the fire extinguisher and quickly put out the fire with Dong Weirui.

After the fire was put out, Dong Weirui immediately squatted down and began the preliminary autopsy, while Zhuang Xiao stood by and assisted her.

Dong Zeyu returned to the ground to get some fresh air so as to be prepared for any further emergencies.

After more than twenty minutes, two people came up carrying equipment of various sizes.

"What do you mean?" Dong Zeyu came forward.

Dong Weirui took off her gloves and mask and threw them into a disposable bag. Then she took the bottle of mineral water that her brother had just brought from the car, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

"It's Xiaodie for sure. She has long hair, but it's never been permed or dyed. It should have been waist-length. She's wearing a nightgown." Dong Weirui made a quick judgment. "It's not a thick nightgown for winter, but it's not thin either. It's cashmere."

"The cause of death is the same as last time." Zhuang Xiao followed up, "The fire was also set after she was killed, but the fatal wound last time was a knife wound, and this time it was a gunshot wound. There were six or seven gunshot wounds in her heart and forehead."

Dong Zeyu became excited, "Then can we find the murder weapon through the bullets?"

He was still a little skeptical at first, but seeing was believing, the body really appeared.

That proves that the information Zhuang Xiao sent him is absolutely true!

"No hope, this is a gun from another world." Zhuang Xiao shook his head, "And the most important thing is that there are no bullets."

"No bullets?" Dong Zeyu was puzzled. "How is this possible? Could it be that they were dug out?"

"It wasn't dug out. At least judging by the bullet hole, the wound is a standard gun bullet penetration wound. It should have gone through."

Dong Weirui made a judgment, "Because there are penetrating wounds on the back of the head and back of the corpse, the kinetic energy of the bullet is very strong."

Dong Zeyu and Zhuang Xiao both understood what she meant.

This shows that the firearm was quite powerful and it was probably caused by a rifle rather than a pistol.

If the kinetic energy is not enough, the bullet will begin to rotate irregularly after entering the human body, causing cavity injuries, which are more harmful.

That is to say, in some gun documentaries, the front side is just a bullet hole, but the back side is a bowl-sized wound.

If there are small bullet holes in front and behind, it means that the bullet has penetrated the body.

"But there were no bullet residues on the ground, so Zhuang Xiao's judgment was correct." Dong Weirui said: "This body was killed in the 'shadow world' and then came to the real world through the 'channel'."

Dong Zeyu was puzzled, "Then the murderer is not the same person as last time? After all, he used a knife last time and a gun this time."

"It should be the same person who killed her. After all, the arson operation was the same. It shows that the murderer had a strong hatred for Xiaodie, so he burned the body after her death."

Zhuang Xiao shook his head, "Xiaodie is still here, so the previous things should not change."

"Actually, none of this matters." Dong Weirui suddenly spoke.

Zhuang Xiao and Dong Zeyu both tilted their heads in confusion.

Dong Weirui looked at Zhuang Xiao seriously, "The question now is, if Xiaodie will not enter the 'channel' again, do you still want to go to the 'shadow world'?"
