At six o'clock in the evening, the warehouse:
"The rewinding of time happened here," Du Jing said. "Recall, what did we do?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "It's hard for you to remember so clearly, so you don't have to report the situation to your boss?"
Du Jing replied: "I took a day off, don't change the subject, first..."
Zhou Luoyang: "I think your phone is going to explode."
There were more than twenty missed calls on Du Jing's mobile phone, all of which displayed the same name "Xiao Li". Zhou Luoyang didn't bother to ask who Xiaoli was, and Du Jing didn't explain superfluous.
Du Jing added, "Could this warehouse be the junction of four-dimensional and five-dimensional space? When I walked out of the warehouse, I was brought into the car by the criminal police, and when I got off the car, the backtracking started."
Du Jing pushed the simple chandelier lightly, and the dangling light bulb swayed lightly, shining over and over, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the dimly lit room.
Zhou Luoyang: "Your imagination is too rich."
Du Jing: "Compared with the mentally ill, it's a little bit different."
Zhou Luoyang: "So how do you explain that I have been here before, but there is no backtracking for 24 hours? And I have begun to doubt whether this happened in reality."
"Memory can deceive people," Du Jing said. "It's like a dream, but I believe there must be something wrong. Don't you want to find out?"
Zhou Luoyang had to admit: "Well, I really don't want to."
When Zhou Luoyang encounters something that cannot be explained by scientific principles, most of the time, he avoids it subconsciously. According to his idea, he will forget this unreasonable and repeated twenty-four hours as soon as possible, and use it as a memory disorder to cover up. past. In fact, many ordinary people will choose the same reaction, which is an instinct of human beings, a precautionary mechanism to protect themselves from danger.
Du Jing didn't eat this set at all, just like when he encountered a rare problem when he was studying, he always had to solve it by digging the horns.
"You don't dare to think about it," Du Jing said, "using ghosts to explain this phenomenon simply, I'm afraid that after the truth is revealed..."
"Don't talk about it!" Zhou Luoyang was instantly furious.
Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang seriously and said, "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Luoyang is really afraid of being haunted. After all, he needed to be alone for a long time when he was young. He remembered that he went to the amusement park and entered the haunted house with Du Jing. He was so frightened that he hugged Du Jing tightly. This incident was a shame for his life. After he came out, he ordered Du Jing to never mention it.
Du Jing's response was the same as today: "What are you afraid of with me?"
"I'm afraid it won't work, and I'll really put us in again." Zhou Luoyang watched a horror movie about cruise ships, and the memory it left on him was too deep, "In case something strange happens accidentally. , it sucks to keep us both stuck in an infinite loop for a day."
Du Jing said, "Is the future important to you?"
"Of course," said Zhou Luoyang, "I finally found you. I hope we are all well. There are still many things to do in the future."
Du Jing stopped talking, Zhou Luoyang knew that this sentence moved him.
"And in case," Zhou Luoyang chose to face his fears and said, "disrupt the time and run into the past self, what should I do?"
Du Jing thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That makes sense."
Zhou Luoyang was sitting on the spring bed in the warehouse, Du Jing was walking around in the warehouse, standing at the corner under the shelf, reluctantly trying to detect a certain time-distorted area, as if he would be teleported away and left in the next moment. Now, travel through the past and the future.
"But time can go back 24 hours," Du Jing said, "which means you can do a lot of things, such as buying a two-color ball, so that the economic problems you don't want to ask for help will be solved."
"Speaking of this," Zhou Luoyang stretched out his hand towards Du Jing, "bring me your mobile phone and lend me some money, and bring Le Yao to report tomorrow. Maybe there is a place to spend money."
Du Jing handed over the phone.
Zhou Luoyang said while transferring money: "The jackpot of the lottery should have been taken by someone else, disrupting time and cause and effect to win the lottery, isn't that the equivalent of taking money from an innocent person? And using supernatural powers What's the difference to go robbery?"
Du Jing didn't expect this, and admitted, "You're right."
Zhou Luoyang said: "Do you remember what happened on the first September 7th? You said that Yu Jianqiang died and was on the news. Right?"
Du Jing snorted, sat side by side with Zhou Luoyang, took his mobile phone and swiped it. When they went out in the evening, they kept paying attention to the news. The murder case yesterday did not cause any reports and was silent. What is the identity of the deceased? The media did not flock to the scene, and the criminal police did not know whether they were at the scene to investigate.
"The second one is the repeated September 7th, Yu Jianqiang survived," said Zhou Luoyang, "but the blackmailer died for him, what does that mean?"
Zhou Luoyang felt a little uncomfortable when he said this.
"It's just a coincidence." Du Jing replied without any fear.
Zhou Luoyang glanced at Du Jing and said, "What if it wasn't a coincidence? Recall that there were five people on the rooftop on the twenty-seventh floor at that time, you, me, Yu Jianqiang, and those two who came to extort. Assuming that fate is doomed, in At that point in time, one of the five people must die..."
"Don't say it anymore," Du Jing said solemnly, "Got it!"
Both of them were quiet, and after a while, Du Jing said again, "So I told you to hide and don't come out."
Zhou Luoyang actually thought about it a lot, but didn't say it. There were too many facts in the past two days. Now he only hopes to seal all this as soon as possible and not mention it again. Give him a little more time and let him slowly re-enter each other's life with Du Jing.
Judging from last night's performance, no matter what Du Jing's occupation is, there is also a certain danger. Zhou Luoyang hopes that Du Jing can get out of this profession after a while, but it is impossible to say this now.
They need to start from scratch and understand each other.
"Forget it." Du Jing quickly dismissed the idea. After all, Zhou Luoyang was more important than Zhou Luoyang's thirst for knowledge about supernatural phenomena.
Zhou Luoyang knew that he didn't give up, but he didn't doubt that he would have another problem. In the past, as long as it was something he insisted on, Du Jing would not do it again. From this point of view, he was still very obedient, maybe it would last a long time. In getting along, he has long been accustomed to listening to Zhou Luoyang's words.
Du Jing opened the drawer and saw that the watches without straps were placed in the same position as yesterday.
"Which is Daytona?" Du Jing said.
"Black," Zhou Luoyang replied, "do you like it?"
Du Jing, however, took a fancy to another watch, a watch made of three square metal sheets, staggered thirty degrees and stacked on top of each other.
"How much is this?" Du Jing asked.
Zhou Luoyang: "Are you talking about money with me?"
Du Jing said: "I want to buy it as your first customer after opening."
Zhou Luoyang said: "I want to send you."
"For what reason?" Du Jing asked.
"A gift to congratulate you on your entry." Zhou Luoyang cut into his topic perfectly, and hinted at Du Jing, "You haven't told me yet at work, how long have you been in this business?"
"It's not long," Du Jing said, "only half a year."
When Du Jing was about to adjust the time, Zhou Luoyang stretched out his hand, and Du Jing gave him the watch, put it on his shoulder naturally, and sat beside him by the bed.
Zhou Luoyang looked at it for a moment and said, "I'll give you a steel watchband. You have a big skeleton, and your wrist will look good when you wear it. A good watch should be worn by a handsome man."
Du Jing didn't speak, the two were silent for a moment.
"Are you really not leaving?" Zhou Luoyang said, "In the past three years, I have often thought of you."
Du Jing said, "I thought you were already married when I came back."
Zhou Luoyang smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Du Jing was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind.
"I'll move to your house," Du Jing said. "It's too hard to take care of my brother. Let me help you too."
Zhou Luoyang was very happy when he heard this, as if a ray of sunshine had shone into his life. He had been too depressed this year, and the key was not to show a tired expression in front of his younger brother. Every day I have to fight hard and tell myself that I am his support and I cannot give up.
The pressure of debt and the responsibility of taking care of Le Yao weighed heavily on him, making him breathless several times. Compared with the university, his mentality is completely different. He sometimes suspects that he is about to suffer from depression, but compared to Du Jing in the past, Zhou Luoyang feels that he can still work hard to hold on until the day when the mountains and rivers are restored and the willows are bright.
"This really saved my dog's life." Zhou Luoyang joked, "but I have to ask what Le Yao means."
"Wait for your reply." Du Jing said, "I'll go back today."
Du Jing drove out, sent Zhou Luoyang home first, and said, "When will you report tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
Zhou Luoyang wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, that's fine, no need to take a taxi, so he made an appointment with him, and Du Jing watched Zhou Luoyang go upstairs before driving away.
At 10 a.m. the next day:
Du Jing entered the building, pressed his fingerprints, took the elevator to the seventeenth floor, adjusted his suits in front of the mirror, and pushed open the glass door of the "Changyi Office". In the conference room, all investigators in black suits were filled with smoke. One was a middle-aged man in his fifties, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and pressed the cigarette butt into the breakfast takeaway box.
Du Jing took the second seat on the left-hand side of the middle-aged man and glanced at everyone. A young man hurriedly winked at Du Jing, but Du Jing just pretended not to see it.
"Enough sleep?" the middle-aged man said.
Du Jing didn't speak.
Middle-aged man: "Where did you sleep? How come I heard that you haven't been home for two days."
"On the bench in the community." Du Jingman said casually.
"How is Yu Jianqiang's situation?" the middle-aged man said, "When will I go back to monitor him?"
Du Jing touched the phone and found that it was thrown in the car. He flipped his hand and tapped the conference table with his knuckles. The young man opposite handed him a stack of documents.
"Let's report briefly," Du Jing said. "The clues are not clear at the moment, Yu Jianqiang..."
"If the clue is not clear, you have to come and squeak, right?" The middle-aged man also knocked on the table, interrupting Du Jing's words, "I thought you were silenced."
As if he hadn't heard, Du Jing continued: "The first evidence I found is that Yu Jianqiang is a male. I rule out the possibility of cooperating with the group secretary and murder... Who took the photo?"
"Me!" The young man immediately raised his hand.
For a time, everyone in the conference room looked at the profile photo of Zhou Luoyang that was printed on A4 paper in front of Du Jing. The time was at 5:30 in the evening on September 7th, and the location was the snapshot before Zhou Luoyang entered the restaurant. .
Du Jing looked at the young man, who suddenly felt a threatening aura.
"Who asked you to follow along?" Du Jing's tone became gloomy.
"I... I..." said the young man.
The middle-aged man made a round of words: "Xiao Li wants to help you, okay, what's the conclusion?"
"Is he my subordinate or your subordinate?" Du Jing asked again.
As soon as these words came out, everyone invariably leaned back for a while, and the silence in the conference room was almost terrifying. The young man called "Xiao Li" didn't dare to say a word, but the middle-aged man laughed.
After a few seconds of silence, the sound of a paper shredder sounded in the conference room—Du Jing walked to the paper shredder and shredded while looking at the documents. He shredded a few photos and kept two documents, which were linked to Zhou Luoyang's personal background check. Also shattered.
"Yu Jianqiang wants to support a man, but it doesn't mean he is gay," said the middle-aged man.
"I can also say that this person is not gay either," Du Jing said solemnly, "he just lacks money."
"College students are not gay. Neither is Yu Jianqiang," said one person. "This is interesting, so what are they doing?"
Du Jing: "Teaching advanced mathematics in the private room."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"I have the desire to support a male college student, but I can't just confirm his sexual orientation. Maybe someone else wants to find some stimulation?" The middle-aged man said, "To be honest, sometimes I also want to find a young man to live with, you Are you so sure that Yu Jianqiang doesn't like women?"
The crowd laughed again.
"Intuition." Du Jing's expression remained unchanged, and replied, "According to the conversation that night, Wang Ke's death has little to do with Yu Jianqiang, but he can't escape from concealing this matter... After reading the ledger, I have to What's the conclusion?"
The middle-aged man took out the document bag and pushed it to Du Jing: "Remember to put it back when it's empty, he probably hasn't found it yet."
Du Jing knew that the real ledger had been repackaged, and there was no problem in forging some materials.
"Here is the background investigation report of the deceased," Xiao Li hesitated and said, "Brother Jing, I wanted to give it to you last night, but you didn't come back..."
"Conclusion." Du Jing said expressionlessly.
Xiaoli said: "Thirty-three years old, male, 1.82 meters. He was from Jiangsu. He was in charge of collecting debts for loan sharks. He hired four younger brothers. I was afraid that Yu Jianqiang would retaliate and run away overnight. The police are investigating. There are too many people offended by this group of people, and it is difficult to draw any conclusions. Yu Jianqiang's vice president was questioned, except for the fact that he fell and died on the real estate, there is no other evidence to show that he has a direct relationship with Yu Jianqiang. "
The middle-aged man said: "Yu Jianqiang's side will be like this first, Du Jing will go to work quickly. What's the progress of the black informant this month, the four groups will report."
Another supervisor in front of the conference table flipped through the folder, but Du Jing had already left the conference room. The young assistant named Xiaoli bowed to his boss and quickly chased after him.
"Brother Jing..."
"Delete the contents of the USB flash drive." Du Jing stopped at the door and said, "This is not an example. I'm in a good mood today, and I don't want to waste time on you."
Xiao Li immediately nodded with lingering fears, holding his coffee, feeling a little uneasy. Du Jing took the coffee paper bag and entered the elevator downstairs.
Zhou Luoyang also wore a suit today. He first carried Le Yao out of the car and carried him into Du Jing's car, while Du Jing got off with a wheelchair and put it in the trunk.
"Did you buy this car?" Zhou Luoyang took the passenger seat.
"Is it more comfortable than the previous one?" Du Jing replied, sweeping the seat for Zhou Luoyang.
Zhou Luoyang: "Don't Yu Jianqiang think there is a problem with your assistant driving a Mercedes-Benz?"
"The introduction by an acquaintance is originally a second-generation Xiaofu." Du Jingman replied casually, turned around and stretched out his hand, buckled the seat belt for Le Yao, and drove off.
Le Yao finally waited for the opportunity to interject and said, "Did you drive around to play when you were studying?"
"Very few." Zhou Luoyang replied, "Someone asked me to complete the four-year university course in two years. How can I have so much time?"
Le Yao laughed, and Du Jing glanced at Le Yao in the rear mirror and said, "You two brothers still look alike."
Le Yao said, "Thank you for taking care of me. Are you not going to work today? Are you asking for leave?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "He can't fall in love, he just messes around."
Du Jing said: "Recently, the company owes a lot of wages and can't pay the rent. The landlord wants to kick me out."
Zhou Luoyang's face changed slightly, he glanced sideways at Du Jing, and warned him with his eyes not to talk nonsense.
He naturally knew that Du Jing wanted to move in, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to Le Yao. As for Zhou Luoyang's attitude, he wanted Du Jing to come to the house a few times first, spend the night occasionally, and finally ask for advice after Le Yao got used to his presence.
"Are you coming to live at our house?" Le Yao smiled, "After I entered school, my brother was at home by himself, and he was quite bored."
Du Jing looked at Le Yao from the rear mirror and replied, "Do you mind?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "Le Yao! Don't listen to him, he can't afford to pay the rent."
"Of course I don't mind." Le Yao smiled. "After you came back, my brother was in a good mood every day."
Zhou Luoyang: "Le Yao!"
Du Jing said: "I also think he is in a good mood."
Zhou Luoyang: "..."
