My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 4 Time Looking Back
"That's what I planned too."

Zhuang Xiao took a sip of Coke and said, "Anyway, I prefer 'Time Travel', unless you come up with something new for me."

"That's it. I'll stay here with you." The fat police officer Dong Taishi squeezed his eyes with the fat on his face. "I haven't seen super powers yet."

"I haven't seen it either." Zhuang Xiao shrugged, "But I'm afraid you can't stay."

Dong Zeyu was stunned, and then the phone rang.

He answered the phone immediately, and after a few words his expression became extremely serious. Even his strong and plump body straightened up subconsciously, which made Zhuang Xiao marvel.

After hanging up the phone, Dong Zeyu went to get his coat with his bulging belly, only to find that Zhuang Xiao had already handed it to him.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuang. Something happened at my workplace, and they urgently asked us to go back and wait!"

He had just put on his coat when he suddenly realized what was happening and widened his eyes, "No! Did you know that a long time ago?"

"There was a car accident on Longteng Road. An overloaded semi-trailer overturned and killed someone. The driver was sent to the hospital, but your police station notified us that the driver had escaped from the hospital." Zhuang Xiao shrugged. "The hospital happens to be in the jurisdiction of your Longteng Road police station, so your unit sent someone back to look for him."

Dong Zeyu froze in place, muttering to himself, "No wonder you didn't let me drink just now, Brother Zhuang."

Now he was 100% or even 90% sure that Zhuang Xiao had really "traveled back in time" to the previous day.

But now is not the time to talk, work at the unit is more important.

When he reached the door, Zhuang Xiao called him, "Grandmaster."

Dong Zeyu turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Zhuang?"

Zhuang Xiao put his hands in his pockets and asked, "How much did you get paid today?"

Officer Dong scratched his face, his small green eyes showing some confusion, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhuang Xiao shrugged. "You are the only one who knows this, so if I go back tonight, I can make you believe me directly."

"I see, Brother Zhuang, you are a genius!" Dong Zeyu's face trembled, "Because only I and the finance department of our company know about this, and it just happened today! So if you go back to 'today' and 'predict' how much money I have paid out, I will believe you directly then!"

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "So that's how much."

"4803 yuan, salary plus performance." Dong Zeyu hurriedly opened the door and left, "Then I'll leave first, Brother Zhuang!"

"Be careful then."

Hearing Zhuang Xiao's words, Dong Zeyu waved his hand without even turning his head.

After watching the sturdy figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhuang Xiao smacked his lips, closed the door, and went back to his room. After returning to the sofa in the living room, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the black stick on the sofa, "Tsk, why didn't you take the electric baton?"

But it was too late to chase after him now, as he could hear the sound of the electric scooter starting up and leaving downstairs.

Forget it, it will be the same if I give it to him tomorrow.

Zhuang Xiao picked up the electric baton and played with it for a while, then went to the video website to find the movie "Time Traveler" that Master Dong had just mentioned, and put it on the projector to watch.

Don't tell me, it's quite interesting.

However, although it plays with the timeline, it is neither suspenseful nor thrilling, but rather follows the route of love and family affection, which is quite heartwarming to watch.

After the movie ended, Zhuang Xiao took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It was 0:24 at night and he had not "backtracked".

It seems that the time of "backtracking" is not midnight.

Zhuang Xiao casually opened WeChat and took a look at the work group for which he had set the “Do Not Disturb Messages” function. The little red dot on the group was particularly eye-catching, but he had no interest in clicking on it.

The fact that the last message was sent at "0:23" made him glance at it, but he still didn't click on it.

Is there anyone still talking in the work group so late? But it has nothing to do with him anyway. If there is anything, he can talk about it at work tomorrow, if the time is not "rewinded" tonight.

"Then the question is, if I really go back in time, what should I do now?"

Suddenly, his mind flashed back to what Master Dong had said to him after they watched the game together.

[I just regret not buying football lottery in advance. If I had gone all in, I would have been so happy that I would have gone to hell! ]

Oh, right! Football lottery!
Zhuang Xiao immediately searched for the score of today's game.

Even if he has never bought football lottery, he knows that there is a concept of odds for this thing, and the Chinese national football team will definitely not be able to beat Xiao Rizi, so the odds of winning by betting on Xiao Rizi will not be very high. So he might as well just take a look at the scores of several other World Cup qualifiers today.

"Australia 0-1 Bahrain, China 0-7 Korea, South Korea 0-0 Palestine, Uzbekistan 1-0 Generals" There are still five games to go, but three of them started at midnight, and only started for about half an hour.

There are two more games at two o'clock, and they haven't even started yet.

If you don't go back, there's no point remembering these things. If you go back too early and those games haven't ended yet, there's no point remembering them either.

Zhuang Xiaoshu felt it was a pity, but he still kept the scores of the four games that had ended firmly in his mind.

He had just exited the website and returned to his phone's desktop when his vision suddenly blurred.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying in the bedroom bed, and his clothes had changed from being fully clothed to just a pair of shorts.

Zhuang Xiao was stunned and sat up suddenly!

The next moment, the phone beside the pillow suddenly rang with a text message tone.

He hesitated for a moment, picked up his phone and took a look.

The time displayed on the phone is.
【Thursday, September 9, 5:07】

Immediately afterwards, a Penguin News push appeared in the middle of the phone.

[The first round of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers Group C China VS Japan match will start at 1:18 in the evening]

In the upper right corner of the text message icon between the "Phone" and "Camera" on the bottom of the phone, there is a small round red icon with a white "1" in the middle of it.

Zhuang Xiao's hand holding the phone was shaking slightly, as if this half-pound phone was heavier than a thousand pounds!
It really is “time going back”!

Zhuang Xiao took a deep breath to calm himself down, then clicked on the text message.

He knew the content of the text message without even looking at it.

Because his previous text messages were mostly junk text messages, advertisements, and verification codes for logging into various accounts, he always read the text messages on his mobile phone as soon as he received them, and there would be no residual messages at all.

Then this message will be just that one.
[You really have a girlfriend]

Zhuang Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He immediately got up, jumped out of bed, grabbed a black fountain pen and notebook, and rushed to the coffee table in the living room to start taking notes.

"The text message ringtone rang at 7:32."

He grabbed the pen, opened the text message again, took a screenshot, and then continued writing while observing.

“The space for the sender’s mobile phone number was blank, so it was impossible to determine who sent the text message.

“短信发送时间是0点32分！不是7点32分！？日期！日期是.9月6日！也就是‘明天’凌晨！”

Zhuang Xiao recalled the time before "time went back".

After he finished watching the movie, he looked at the time and it was "0:24 tomorrow".

After that, he searched for the scores and memorized them in order to buy football lottery in case he could "go back in time".

He didn't look at the specific time during this period.

After he finished reciting, he felt bored so he went to watch the three games that had already started. The first half of the three games had already lasted for about half an hour, and the start time of the three games was 0: "tomorrow".
In other words, the time he went back to is around 0:30 in the early morning of "tomorrow"!
No! It should be more than 0:30! Because in his memory, "about half an hour after the start of the game", it means that the first time of the first half of the game was definitely "3"!
This is his personal habit. For him, “about thirty minutes” must be more than thirty minutes!
If it’s less than thirty minutes, his habitual memory will be “more than twenty minutes”!
Then, considering the time when the text message was sent, the specific time when he "went back in time" should be [9:6 on September 0]!
At this moment, the text in the text message opened on the mobile phone suddenly twisted into a mosaic like tadpoles, and then the entire text message disappeared.

Zhuang Xiao was stunned and immediately opened the photo album on his phone to look at the screenshots.

But he was immediately stunned, because the screenshot was gone, as if he had never taken a screenshot!
"why is that."

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled, so he drew a big question mark behind the content he had already written down in his notebook.

Since the text message problem cannot be solved for the time being, let’s first verify the “possibility” analyzed “last” night.

“时间回溯的‘时间节点’确定是‘明天’凌晨0点32分，回溯到的时间是‘今天’早上7点32分，回溯时间为‘17个小时’。

"Time travel is passive and not under my subjective control. So it's not "Time Traveler", but a 'replay' similar to "The Street Where Only I Am Missing", at least that's the result obtained based on the currently known information."

Having written this far, Zhuang Xiao's handwriting seemed a little messy, and the knuckles holding the pen were a little white.

If it really is a "time travel" similar to a "replay", it means that someone close to him will encounter an accident at 0:32 am "tomorrow"!

Who are the people close to him?
He has few friends and his relationships with his colleagues are just those of colleagues.

Excluding my grandfather and grandparents who have passed away, the only ones left are my parents, my grandmother and Dong Zeyu.

Among these four people, the one most likely to get into trouble was Dong Zeyu, who was called back to the police station to look for the driver of the truck that fled the scene of the accident!
