My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 39: For You, She Even Gave Up Her Principles
"I am not sure."

Zhuang Xiao recalled the incident of the case, but that was eight years ago. In addition, he and Dong Zeyu had deliberately avoided each other over the years, so his memory was a little vague.

"Anyway, the criminal hasn't been caught in this case after eight years. The police are not stupid. They must have made this decision after investigating and finding no suspects inside or outside. At least they didn't find any evidence."

Dong Zeyu and his sister didn't say anything. Instead, they lowered their heads and looked at the clues in the notebook and thought seriously.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "No, do you really believe what I said is true?"

This time was different from the time with Master Dong eight years later. That time he told Dong Zeyu the exact amount of salary in advance so that Dong Zeyu could believe it.

But now he has no evidence.

Dong Zeyu just laughed strangely when he heard this, but Dong Weirui blinked her elegant almond-shaped eyes and told him the reason, "Micro-expressions and small movements."

"What?" Zhuang Xiao was stunned.

"Our father taught us that during interrogation, we can judge whether the suspect or witness is lying by micro-expressions and small movements." Dong Zeyu grinned, "We kept practicing on you, Brother Zhuang."

Zhuang Xiao's face darkened, but he was a little curious, "Is it accurate?"

"It's not very accurate for others. After all, we don't have that much experience. But seeing you every day, Brother Zhuang, I can see that it's quite accurate."

After Dong Zeyu finished speaking, Dong Weirui added very calmly, "When you lie, you like to look into the other person's eyes. It seems that you are expressing your sincerity, but in fact you are observing the other person's reaction.

"On the contrary, when you tell the truth, the corner of your eyes will look downward to the left, and the right corner of your mouth will subconsciously turn up a little bit. This is a sign that you are thinking about memories and are relaxed."

Zhuang Xiao was shocked. "Is this true? I didn't even know about it."

"How can I know your own habits?" Dong Zeyu laughed strangely, "If you tell my sister about this in the future, then your secrets won't be hidden anymore~"

Dong Weirui pursed his lips and said nothing, but Shu Die let go of Dong Weirui's arm to express her dissatisfaction, "I believe in Brother Xiao too!"

Are you an expert too?
Zhuang Xiao was surprised, "Xiaodie, can you see that too?"

"I can't tell!" Shu Die said confidently.

"What about you?"

"Because I just believe in you!" Shu Die held her head high with her chest puffed out, full of confidence.

Zhuang Xiao was silent for a while, and his eyes softened a lot.

Yes, Master Dong believed it completely because he "predicted" his salary, but this girl trusted him unconditionally.

At this time, Dong Weirui interrupted Zhuang Xiao's recollection and asked, "Is there no one investigating this case?"

"Yes, in fact, Uncle Li has been investigating, that is, Li Ming."

Zhuang Xiao explained, then shook his head, "But he has been investigating for eight years and still has no evidence."

After a pause, he suddenly thought of what Li Ming said about Liu Lang. "He did tell me that a graduate of our high school a few years ago was the last person to leave the crime scene, but there was no evidence either."

Dong Zeyu was curious, "So this person was not investigated further eight years later?"

"He's dead." Zhuang Xiao said lightly.

Then he changed the subject, "There is only one victim in this case, so let's not go to the evening self-study class tonight. Come here together after school. It will be a good excuse for me to go home late because of my birthday."

He was worried that if the murderer was targeting Dong Weirui, he might be following and ambushing her on the road.

"Wei Rui, have you ever offended anyone before?"

"No." Dong Weirui shook his head.

Shu Die offered her own opinion, "Maybe the criminal that Uncle Dong had arrested before was released after serving his sentence?"

Dong Zeyu had a different opinion. "Since Uncle Li is investigating this case in the future, why don't we just take a leave in the afternoon and go to him directly?"

Zhuang Xiao was not optimistic, but since no one objected, he didn't say anything.

So Dong Zeyu immediately called Li Ming.

After a few minutes, he hung up.

Shu Die immediately asked, "How is it?"

Dong Zeyu looked aggrieved. "He told me to read less novels and to study hard in my senior year of high school." "That's normal." Zhuang Xiao said it was true. "Nothing happened, there is no evidence, and we don't even know who the suspect is. People must think it's outrageous."

What’s more, Dong Zeyu also said that he had dreamed about it, which is even more ridiculous.

But you can't say that he came back from the future, that's nonsense. Besides, Zhuang Xiao was not familiar with Li Ming before, and he didn't know what happened to him eight years ago.

Therefore, it is impossible to "predict" in advance.

Looking at the three boys and girls with frowns on their faces, Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head. "No, I feel like we've made a mistake. Why investigate this case? First of all, nothing has happened yet. Secondly, even if it has, there are police around. The most important thing now is to keep Wei Rui alive and well."

To be honest, Zhuang Xiao doesn't have any thoughts about the world.

If the murderer kills again in the future and someone else dies, he will only be sad for a day after seeing the news.

But there will be no guilt.

Leave the investigation to the police.

Although he himself didn't feel it, his mentality was actually different after the fight.

Shu Die was heartless, "I think Brother Xiao is right."

Dong Zeyu opened his mouth and then turned to look at his sister.

Zhuang Xiao also looked at Dong Weirui, and there was even a hint of earnestness in his eyes.

Because they know that Dong Weirui is the most serious, or the one who abides by the rules, and has a strong sense of justice.

Because she had always wanted to be a dedicated police officer like her and Dong Zeyu's father since she was a child.

But looking at Zhuang Xiao's expression, Dong Weirui was silent for a long time.
Finally, she narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Okay."

Dong Zeyu's eyes almost popped out when he heard this.

You know, his sister is a very principled person!
In the past, even if he crossed the road without waiting for the traffic lights or using the zebra crossing, she would stare at him expressionlessly until he apologized and admitted his mistake in a sweat.

But now faced with this kind of thing, his sister actually compromised so easily?

Dong Zeyu looked at Zhuang Xiao with extremely complicated eyes for a moment.

I really miss you, and I want you to be my brother-in-law.

But aren't you too nice? My sister has given up her principles for you!

She has never been so nice to her own brother!
Zhuang Xiao didn't think too much at this moment. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Dong Weirui agreed.

This is not a game. At this critical moment of life and death, does he still want to play a game of Gwent?
"Okay, then it's decided."

Zhuang Xiao quickly made arrangements, "No, we don't have to go to class this afternoon. Let's just ask for leave."

Normally, middle school and high school students must get permission from their parents if they want to ask for leave.

But they are a little different.

Although Zhuang Xiao was taciturn in the past and his academic performance was only above average, he never caused trouble and was a good student in the eyes of his teachers.

Of course, this refers to the good students other than the top students. To put it bluntly, the teacher knows that he is honest and does not cause trouble. Therefore, if Zhuang Xiao says that he is not feeling well and asks for leave, the class teacher will not say much.

Dong Weirui and Shu Die are both top students, and the teacher doesn't even ask for the reason when they ask for leave.

As for Dong Zeyu, he has Dong Weirui to testify for him, so the teacher naturally won’t care.

You know, their mother is too busy at work. In the past, if there was anything, the head teacher of Dong Zeyu's class would contact Dong Weirui directly.
The other three had no objection.

Zhuang Xiao's frown relaxed a little, "Okay, let's go buy a cake and some vegetables now, and I'll cook for you in the evening."

Dong Zeyu was shocked, "Brother Zhuang, you can also cook?!"

Zhuang Xiao smiled slightly, "I told you I came back from eight years ago. If I still can't cook, then I came back for nothing, right?"

　I don’t get off work until seven o’clock and haven’t had dinner yet, so there may only be two chapters today.

　　I’ll try to add more chapters tomorrow!
