Gu Qingyu, whose alcoholic effects were still not wearing off and whose mind was not yet clear, certainly did not want to go to the victim's home at this time.
"No wonder you can get things done, you have such a vigorous and decisive attitude. I just don't have that, but this isn't a good thing... You just got off work, why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Wu knew that Gu Qingyu didn't really want to go, but said:
"If you delay for one day, the possibility of clues being covered up by time will be higher. If you go now, do you want to hold your head up in front of everyone in the company?"
"Yes! I think about it even in my dreams!" Gu Qingyu's voice was very loud, perhaps because he had been drinking.
If he spoke so loudly in the company, he would not be regarded as a coward.
Bai Wu stood up, not caring about anything else:
"Lead the way. I won't drink anymore. Let's find a car and go directly to the scene."
"Now? Really?"
"Really go, without further delay."
Gu Qingyu looked at Bai Wu's determined look, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Okay, let's go! Find some clues, maybe we can get performance bonus this month!"
Bai Wu walked straight to the door. When passing by the living room, Yan Jiu did not ask anything, but just continued to look at Bai Wu with that overly joyful smile.
It makes the white fog feel a little creepy.
Then Ruan Qingyun asked:
"Where are you going so late?"
"Go and do some official business." Gu Qingyu said.
"You're not allowed to go. It's already evening. What business do you have? You'll be back soon."
As soon as Ruan Qingyun became fierce, Gu Qingyu immediately became a little nervous.
When Bai Wu saw this scene, he felt uncomfortable again.
The captain is also a henpecked henpecked husband
Wait… I mentioned the word captain again.
Ruan Qingyun raised her head and looked at the tall and thin Gu Qingyu, but her aura was completely suppressing.
This is so weird, Bai Wu just wants to leave immediately:
"Boss lady, I really have business to do with him, please don't stop me, this is a good thing for your husband."
Once Bai Wu opened his mouth, the effect was naturally different.
Ruan Qingyun was stunned:
"What boss lady?"
Yes, what boss lady? Gu Qingyu looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu is now sure...
Once or twice may be a coincidence, but three or four times must be a problem. These words are almost blurted out directly, which shows that these people are very important to themselves and they have other identities.
I really did lose my memory.
"Gu Qingyu is going to be a boss in the future, so you're going to be the boss's wife, right?"
These words made Ruan Qingyun smile:
"No wonder Xiaojiu is so happy every day."
Bai Wu glanced at Yan Jiu, and Yan Jiu was indeed very happy.
But Bai Wu has already discovered that Yan Jiu's happiness is probably not normal. Wouldn't a normal person's facial muscles become sore after laughing for so long
"Forget it. I feel more at ease with Bai Wu here. Please don't come back too late."
"Don't worry, don't worry. If you don't trust me, you can trust Bai Wu too." Gu Qingyu gave Bai Wu the feeling of a middle-aged man who was afraid of his wife.
After the two successfully left the apartment building, Bai Wu felt as if a memory deeply imprinted in his heart was awakening.
They arrived at the gate of the community, and when they walked out of the gate and were about to call a taxi, Bai Wu suddenly said:
"I suddenly have a very familiar feeling."
Gu Qingyu shook his head to sober up:
"What's that familiar feeling?"
"This is probably not the first time that you and I have gone to a certain place to investigate something. It always feels like we have gone through this kind of investigation many times."
“No way, Bai Wu, you can get drunk with beer? Hahahaha…” Gu Qingyu himself was a little drunk.
Bai Wu was of course very sober. When he and Gu Qingyu stood side by side, he even had an inexplicable sense of security.
Both of them were drunk and it was difficult for them to drive, so they had to call a driver.
The taxi arrived quickly.
When he saw the driver's face, Bai Wu was suddenly stunned.
"Zheng Yue?"
"What, you know me too? Hahaha, don't worry, although I'm a hard-working driver and an internet celebrity among drivers, my fares are cheap."
What the hell is going on.
When he saw Zheng Yue, Bai Wu blurted out his name, and then that strange feeling of disobedience came again.
How could Zheng Yue be a taxi driver? And a model worker
I always feel that this person should be yawning, careless, and suspected of fatigue driving.
Bai Wu was silently calculating something in his heart:
"If there's something wrong with my brain, then there's something wrong with this world. I must write down all the things that make me feel uncomfortable and never adapt to them..."
It was like two twisted forces were fighting against each other. Bai Wu suddenly thought that he appeared in a familiar environment as soon as he appeared on the scene. Even the taxi driver he met and the eucalyptus that Gu Qingyu talked about... were very likely acquaintances from "another world".
Is this a thrill
Some force is trying to make me keep in contact with some familiar people, and through the weird sense of disharmony, I am aware of my current situation.
This is definitely not a safe, comfortable situation.
The time is four hours, and every four hours, your memory will be distorted, but as long as you find the key item, you can offset this distortion and even regain some of your original memory and abilities.
The strange dialog box appeared in my mind again.
Bai Wu remained calm and quickly got into Zheng Yue's car with Gu Qingyu.
Zheng Yue was very talkative along the way, chattering non-stop about how he had transformed from a spirited young man into a model worker in the driver industry.
Bai Wu noticed that he had not blinked at all during the whole journey, and mentioned that he had been driving for fourteen hours straight, and he was still full of energy.
Bai Wu sighed that he was worthy of being a model worker. He was a handsome guy but too hardworking.
As they continued chatting in the car, Bai Wu encountered another source of discomfort.
The in-car news mentioned the contemporary poet and urban civilization ambassador Lin Wurou.
When Bai Wu heard the name of the Ambassador of Civilization, he had no reaction. When he heard the name of Lin Wu Rou, he just felt familiar...
But combined with the Ambassador of Civilization Lin Wurou, Bai Wu wanted to stick his head out of the car window and hit a truck.
A contemporary poet, ambassador of civilization, and songwriter, a man who speaks the beautiful language of the prosperous country, never swears, dresses in a masculine manner, and has a beard.
Although people once thought that he would look like a pretty boy if he shaved his beard, Lin Wurou did not do so.
He always faces the public with the image of an artist with a bearded face.
This time, Lin Wurou seemed to have written a verse with a strong Sheng Guo style for a famous singer, and it became popular again in major media.
Bai Wu just felt weird and got goose bumps.
What he was thinking about was not the city civilization ambassador, but the top scholar in liberal arts in Zaun.
All these incongruities only deepened Bai Wu's suspicion of this world, to the point that he had concluded that he might be in some kind of hallucination, or that he was crazy.
But the former is obviously more fun. Even if he is really crazy, he still finds this game very interesting.
"I want to see what happens next."
Zhou Zeshui's home was soon reached.
I also live in an apartment building.
The community is called Sky Community, and the houses range in size from 90 to 130 square meters.
Zhou Zeshui lived on the fourth floor. His wife and daughter had already left and moved to her parents’ home. As for Zhou Zeshui’s funeral arrangements… it seemed that there was no need to take care of them.
Originally Bai Wu and Gu Qingyu were still worrying about how to enter this house, but when they actually arrived at the door, they found that it was open.
"Someone has arrived. Most likely someone from the Security Bureau. Did you bring your work ID?" Bai Wu asked.
"I carry it with me at all times." Gu Qingyu finally did not let him down.
Bai Wu nodded and walked into the house.
There were indeed two members of the Security Department in the room. When they heard the footsteps, they came out.
"You are?"
A timid police officer who seemed a little self-deprecating followed behind an arrogant and presumptuous inspector.
The slightly self-deprecating police officer is called Yan Zizai, while the wild one is called Shang Xiaoyi.
Bai Wu recognized the two people, and memories and a sense of dissonance instantly emerged, because these two people were the ones who had detained his "cos props" not long ago.
"Hello Sirs, nice to see you again. I'm Bai Wu, and this is my colleague, Gu Qingyu."
Shang Xiaoyi held a cigarette in his mouth and said arrogantly:
"Oh, boy, what are you doing here?"
Bai Wu glanced at Yan Zizai, who felt a little uneasy. The feeling that gave Bai Wu goosebumps appeared again:
"We are from the insurance company. Before Mr. Zhou Zeshui died, he bought a large amount of accident insurance from our company. There are some claims issues involved, so we have to verify it."
The people in the Security Department were familiar with this. Shang Xiaoyi nodded:
"Okay, go ahead."
"By the way, why are you two sirs here?" Bai Wu asked.
Shang Xiaoyi frowned, looking intimidating without even getting angry. Bai Wu looked at Shang Xiaoyi calmly without giving in.
Gu Qingyu and Yan Zizai each took a step back, intimidated by the momentum of the two men.
"You're asking about things you shouldn't know."
"No, I just made sure the officer didn't take anything important. After all, you don't want to be sued by the insurance company, right? We are a group of people who dare to sue for anything in order to avoid paying compensation."
Gu Qingyu was shocked. Is this a threat to the police officers
Shang Xiaoyi was silent for a few seconds and then said:
"Nothing was taken. We have basically closed this case. We came to check and make sure nothing was left. We are leaving."
The two policemen left.
A few minutes after the two of them left, Bai Wu said:
"Let's start looking for clues."
Gu Qingyu said:
"How can I find this? This eucalyptus seems to be an accident no matter how you look at it..."
"Jump out of the case itself and look for any information about Zhou Zeshui." Bai Wu closed the door and prepared to start rummaging through the drawers.
Gu Qingyu was puzzled:
"Is this person important?"
"It's very important... I guess. But just listen to me, I won't betray the captain."
"Why are you calling me captain again?"
Bai Wu found a photo album in the TV cabinet and answered Gu Qingyu while flipping through it:
"Have you ever thought that you are actually a sports genius, and no one in this world is better at sports than you."
"Are you still drunk?"
"Think about it, it's not against the law. Our behavior and our perception of the world all come from the stimulation we receive from the outside world. If the outside world is good to us, we think the world is true, good and beautiful. If the outside world is not good to us, we think the world is fake, ugly and evil."
“And stimuli become memories, so memories may make us… different.”
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't know either. There are still many doubts that I haven't sorted out."
Bai Wu can understand that Gu Qingyu became a weak athlete because of her distorted memory, but can distorted memory also change a person's height
Bai Wu always felt that this person was strong and reliable and could always be trusted... but not high.
Combined with this, Bai Wu guessed... Is it possible that these are all false, his own distorted memories, and he is the only one who is truly alive
Bai Wu had no evidence, but at least the Gu Qingyu in front of him was still his good friend, an extremely real and vivid existence.
"The three of them look very warm in the photo album."
Bai Wu did not answer the previous strange remarks.
Gu Qingyu leaned over to take a look:
"Photos are like this. You can't look disgusted when taking a photo, right?"
That is indeed the truth.
Because it was basically confirmed to be an accidental death and the possibility of murder was ruled out, so as just now, two police officers came to take a look, which was considered to be the end of the case.
But this also leads to many places not being checked in detail.
Gu Qingyu also determined that this case was an accident, so he did not conduct a serious investigation.
Bai Wu looked at the photo album carefully and noticed Zhou Zeshui's eyes.
In photos taken in earlier years, Zhou Zeshui's eyes were similar to those of normal people, but later on, Zhou Zeshui's eyes changed.
It seems to carry some kind of elusive black energy.
It's hard to see in the photo, but Bai Wu can feel that his eyesight seems to be able to see very subtle things.
Later on, Zhou Zeshui's photos always seemed a little bleak...
During the day, yes, and at night.
It was as if the environment began to darken with this person as the center.
But from the photos, everything is still unclear.
But Bai Wu could intuitively feel that... there was something wrong with Zhou Zeshui, as if something inside him was gradually awakening.
However, in order to confirm, Bai Wu called Gu Qingyu over and showed him the photos:
"Do you see what's wrong?"
“I don’t see the problem…”
"Really? Don't you think it's very dark here, and here?"
"I don't think so... Isn't it the same as the previous photo?"
Gu Qingyu didn't seem to be lying.
Bai Wu was once again certain that there must be something wrong between me and this world.
"Come on, let's go check out something else. Where's that diary you mentioned earlier?"
"I have found it."
Gu Qingyu handed the diary to Bai Wu.
The Security Bureau did not take away such an important thing, which shows that this case is indeed very simple. Everything is just as people saw it - an accident with almost no doubt.
Bai Wu didn't care whether it was an accident or not.
He just wanted to know what was wrong with Zhou Zeshui, because his intuition told him—
Zhou Zeshui...there is definitely something wrong.
Bai Wu did not look directly to the back like Gu Qingyu did, but started from the front.
The first page of the diary confirmed Bai Wu's previous thoughts:
"August 4th, I suspect I'm sick. I've been having nightmares since yesterday, but they don't end when I wake up. There's a voice in my head. It's telling me—"
"The twist is coming, my child."
