Death Rewind: I went berserk in the loop!

Chapter 23 Police Investigation

Chen Xiao's chest heaved violently, and the wound on his neck throbbed with pain, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

Suddenly, the loudspeaker came on.

"The train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers, please stand behind the safety line..."

As the broadcast sounded, the faint wind pressure could be heard from the other end of the tunnel.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

coming.

But in that instant, the two people behind him clearly panicked and stopped trying to hide, starting to accelerate and chase after them.

Chen Xiao glanced back and his heart tightened instantly.

If he keeps running like this, he will be caught up before the train arrives at the station.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Xiao suddenly stopped, turned around, and rushed directly towards a young couple on the other side of the platform.

Before the couple could react, Chen Xiao had already grabbed the man's arm and said urgently:

"Brother, can you call the police? There's a robbery happening behind us!"

That shout was so loud that everyone around could hear it.

The man was taken aback at first, then instinctively looked at the two people chasing after him.

The two men were clearly taken aback by Chen Xiao's sudden move, and their steps involuntarily slowed.

As soon as the conversation slowed down, all eyes were drawn to them.

"What's going on?"

"robbery?"

Who is it?

The crowd's attention immediately shifted.

Those two reacted extremely quickly.

One of them immediately shouted:

"We are the police! This man is a murderer! Don't believe his lies!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, which had been swayed by Chen Xiao's word "robbery," immediately became chaotic again.

Many people instinctively stopped in their tracks, looked around, and were clearly a little confused.

Who the hell is telling the truth?

Seeing this, Chen Xiao felt more at ease and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Look at you, you dare call yourselves police officers?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the people around instinctively looked at the two of them again.

Chen Xiao didn't give them a chance to react at all, he simply raised his hand and pointed, his voice suddenly rising:

"Look closely, the skin on their faces is all wrong!"

"A normal person's face would look like that? That's because they're wearing a human skin mask!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes were drawn to the two people.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I immediately realized something was wrong.

Just now at the hospital, Chen Xiao sprayed a fire extinguisher at them, and both of them are still covered in large patches of white ash, their clothes are dirty and messy, their hats are askew, and the edges of their masks are loose.

The face, covered in white ash, looked even more unnatural.

Her skin tone was too even, as if it were covered with a layer of wax, and even the area where her ears met her chin had an indescribable stiffness.

"Holy crap...something's really not right."

"Why does that face look so fake?"

"Does this happen when the police respond to a call?"

"He just mentioned a human skin mask, could it be real?"

The crowd erupted in chaos.

Those who were initially skeptical now subconsciously took two steps back, and their gazes towards the two people completely changed.

The two men's faces instantly darkened, but they didn't stop and continued to press forward.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao immediately raised his voice again: "Since you say you're a police officer, then show me your police ID!"

That statement hit the nail on the head.

Those around who were still hesitant seemed to have finally found a standard to judge and immediately echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, get the certificate!"

"If you're a police officer, show me your identification!"

"Show your identification first!"

The two men paused.

The next second, the leader suddenly sneered, reached into his pocket, and actually pulled out an ID card, which he then flashed forward.

"Look carefully."

"This is my police ID."

"Do you believe me now?"

He glanced around, his voice suddenly turning serious:

"Get out of the way!"

"You've delayed our arrest of this murderer; can you bear the responsibility for that?!"

This caused panic among the people around.

After all, how can an ordinary person tell the difference between a real and fake police officer's ID?

The crowd that had been surrounding them immediately and instinctively moved aside.

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank.

He was certain that these two people could not possibly be police officers.

That leaves only one explanation—

These people had prepared fake documents long ago, and even carried them with them all along, just to use them to impress others in situations like this.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Xiao didn't hesitate any longer.

Just as the train ahead roared into the station and the safety doors slowly opened, he suddenly turned around and rushed straight towards the doors.

In just a few steps, he plunged into the carriage.

The two men behind them followed, shouting loudly as they chased after them:

"Police investigation!"

"Catch the murderer! Help stop that person in front!"

As soon as he shouted this, the passengers who had just boarded the bus erupted in anger again.

Some people instinctively dodged to the side, some turned around abruptly, and others instinctively reached out to stop them.

But at that very moment, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his voice, directly drowning out theirs:

"Murder!"

"Someone impersonating a police officer has committed murder!"

Don't believe them!

"Do they look like police officers?!"

The moment that shout came out, the entire carriage was thrown into complete chaos.

Those in front didn't know who to believe, while those behind desperately tried to squeeze in. Passengers who had just boarded were caught in the middle, and screams, curses, and shouts all clashed together.

The already crowded car doors instantly descended into chaos.

"Who exactly is the police?"

"Stop pushing!"

"Make way! Make way!"

Some people instinctively dodged to the side, some subconsciously tried to stop Chen Xiao, and others, seeing the two men covered in white ash and with fierce expressions, felt something was wrong and dared not move at all.

It was those few seconds of chaos that gave Chen Xiao the last bit of space.

Instead of rushing straight into the middle of the carriage, he pressed himself against the row of pillars next to the door, slid to the side, and squeezed into a small, dark corner near the door.

The two people behind them had just caught up and were still looking ahead. By the time they realized that Chen Xiao hadn't run inside at all, they were already a beat too late.

Just then, the subway announcement suddenly sounded.

"The car door is about to close, please be careful—"

Their expressions changed simultaneously.

Their instinct was to push further in, but the entrance to the train was already blocked by a chaotic crowd. A woman holding a child in front of them screamed as she was jostled, and a middle-aged man next to her got angry and shoved her.

"Why are you pushing!"

"Can't you see there are children?!"

This push caused the person at the front to stagger.

Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Seizing the moment, he grabbed a man carrying a large backpack next to him and shoved him outwards with force.

"Hold!"

The man had no time to react and was thrown forward, crashing directly into the two men.

The three of them collided and stumbled backward in a sorry state.

And at this very moment—

boom!

The car doors began to close.

The two men's expressions changed simultaneously. They were about to reach out to block, but it was too late.

Click.

The door lock is closed.

The train gave a slight jolt, then slowly started moving.

Only when the train had actually pulled away and the figures on the platform were gradually left behind did Chen Xiao finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But he didn't dare to relax completely.

Because he knew that this was only a temporary escape.

The fact that those people could produce fake police officer IDs shows that they were far more prepared than he had imagined.

As long as he remains on this line, the other side may have other ways to continue blocking him.

Chen Xiao's eyes darkened, and he immediately looked up at the route map on the top of the carriage.

Next stop, People's Square.

Next stop, Jiangdong Road.

Do not stay at normal sites for too long.

You can't stay in the same carriage forever.

The thought came to mind, and Chen Xiao immediately lowered his body, squeezed out from the blind spot by the door, and followed the crowded people to the middle of the carriage.

Excuse me.

"Excuse me, could you move aside?"

His voice was very low, his face was covered in blood, and his neck was wrapped in bloody gauze, making him look extremely disheveled.

Seeing him like this, the people around him subconsciously didn't try to stop him and all moved away a little.

Chen Xiao squeezed his way to the connection between the two carriages, and after standing still, he first glanced back through the reflective glass.

no one.

At least for now, no one is sticking up to us in this carriage.

But just then, he suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came over the train's public address system:

"Attention passengers, police are currently apprehending a dangerous suspect."

The suspect is a male, around 20 years old, with an injury to his neck and blood on his clothes.

If you spot anyone, please notify staff immediately and do not contact them.

The moment the announcement came on, the entire carriage fell silent for a beat.

The next second, almost everyone's eyes turned to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao's expression changed instantly.
