Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

2000年，12月10日，23：56：04秒。

The fat man stood on the top of the mountain, raised a mahogany sword to the sky, and shouted, "Come on, chop me."

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck a tree on the top of the mountain, igniting a fire.

"It's boring, it's broken again." He cursed, which was a mockery of fate.

Death, must die.

The fat man knew that his life was short. He would die in January 2001. On the specific day, it was the first seven days and the last eight days of mid-January anyway.

There are at most 40 days left before his death.

The fat man thought, since I will die in January next year, then no matter what happens before January, I will not die.

He decided to try various strange ways to die.

He saw the cliff at the foot of the mountain, wearing a bat shirt, took a deep breath, and was about to jump. The pager on his waist rang, and the crime team was called back, "There is a case."

.

The fat man ran back to the crime team and saw Yao Ruolan and Thirteenth Sister in the office.

"What case?" the fat man asked.

"Someone's going to die."

"What does it mean to die?"

"He's just not dead yet."

Thirteenth sister held the Dream Stealing Helmet in her hand, and she was obviously still recalling the dream she had just had.

The helmet, after its latest upgrade, has a new feature.

Predict future.

Simply put, Einstein's theory is that as long as you exceed the speed of light, you can travel through time and space.

The power of brain waves can exceed the speed of light.

So this upgrade to the helmet will adjust the receiving frequency to a special signal channel - a few days later.

The helmet can control Thirteenth Sister's brain waves beyond the speed of light, allowing Thirteenth Sister to receive radio signals for the next seven days while dreaming.

As for the first experiment, just now, at 12:10 on December 23, Thirteenth Sister's brain waves traveled to tomorrow.

That is 12:11 on December 23th.

In the dream, she came to a place called Tianshui Bridge.

This dream is like this: Thirteenth sister saw the Tianshui Bridge empty, and a firework shot up into the sky, and the fireworks exploded in the air.

Then, a female corpse floated on the river surface of the bridge.

In other words, at 23:[-] tomorrow, a woman will die under the Tianshan Bridge.

But now, this person is not dead yet, and he doesn’t know who he is.

It was just such a quick dream.

"What can we do?" Thirteenth Sister asked.

Yao Ruolan thought for a while, what can she do? The theory of relativity is wonderful, and the future is just a point on the timeline.

Although Thirteenth Sister predicted that someone would die tomorrow, what she predicted would definitely happen due to time.

In other words, this woman will definitely die. No matter how you stop it, she will die.

"It's better to go and see the scene." Yao Ruolan said.

.

The night of the second day, 23:50.

Yao Ruolan, Thirteenth Sister, and Fatty came to Tianshui Bridge.

This is the city center, a bridge spanning the New City and the Old City.

There were many cars passing by on the bridge, including cars, overnight buses, and even a group of runners passing by, shouting slogans, and doing a long-distance run.

"Are you sure this is here?" Yao Ruolan asked Thirteenth Sister.

This bridge is very busy now. It can be said that cars and people are coming and going. There are monitoring equipment on all sides of the bridge.

How could a murder happen on such a bridge in full view of everyone?

How could there be a female corpse floating on the water? Besides, how could there be fireworks suddenly?

Yao Ruolan looked under the bridge and saw several sightseeing cruise ships with guests eating river delicacies sitting on them.

Thirteenth sister looked at the scene under the bridge and said, "I'm sure it's here, but... the picture here now is different from my dream yesterday."

In yesterday's dream, the Tianshui Bridge looked particularly deserted. There was no one, not a single car on the bridge, and not a single boat under the bridge.

The bridge in the dream was very old and not as brand-new as it is now.

In the dream, the river under the bridge was dirty and smelly, and it was dark under the bridge. Just as a string of fireworks rose, the red fireworks illuminated the female corpse under the bridge.

It's not as clean as it is now, and there are beautiful lights on the plank road next to the bridge.

"I'm sure it's here, but it's very different from the current scene." Thirteenth Sister confirmed again.

Wait a minute.

The three of them stood on the bridge, staring at the river under the bridge.

23：55，23:56，23:57...

Until midnight on December 12, there was still no female body in the river under the bridge.

Was that just an empty dream?

Yao Ruolan thought, it's impossible. This time the helmet has been upgraded and the frequency has been adjusted. It will be able to receive some radio signals in the next seven days.

Therefore, time travel did happen, and Thirteenth Sister did see a female corpse in her dream.

But why is it not there now, and why is it different from the scene in the dream?

At this time, several long-distance runners ran across the bridge, wiping their sweat and shouting "Happy New Year".

The New Year is coming, and this group of runners is preparing for the New Year's Eve run. Several more cars pass by, and a double-decker bus drives by.

There were tourists on the bus, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery on the bridge with their cameras.

Suddenly, Yao Ruolan figured out what was going on.

.

She took the two of them to the crime squad quickly and called Xu Wenshan.

Yao Ruolan said to Xu Wenshan, "Please check for me. Has a woman died in the Tianshui Bridge river in the past ten years or 20 years?"

Xu Wenshan asked his colleagues on duty to check on the computer.

It was confirmed that ten years ago, in 1990, a young girl named Xiao Xi disappeared on New Year's Eve.

Three days later, Xiao Xi's body was found in the river at Tianshui Bridge.

Since no effective evidence was found at the scene after Xiao Xi's body was discovered, and criminal investigation techniques were lacking in 1990, the case remained pending for ten years and the murderer was never caught.

At this moment, the murderer appeared.

"The murderer has appeared." Yao Ruolan said.

"What did you say?" Everyone was confused.

Yao Ruolan explained:

Ten years ago, Tianshui Bridge was a very dilapidated bridge.

Ten years ago, the area near Tianshui Bridge was still desolate.

Ten years later, this place has become the city center. The Tianshui Bridge has been renovated and has become the connection between the old city and the new city.

And the dream Thirteenth Sister had yesterday was indeed true.

But - the radio waves that Thirteenth Sister received in her dream came from the murderer.

In other words, just now, the murderer returned to this bridge after ten years.

After arriving here, the murderer recalled the scene of the murder ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the murderer pushed Xiao Xi off a desolate bridge. At that time, a firework rose in the sky. This scene remained in the murderer's memory.

Just now, the murderer remembered this scene again, and the brain wave frequency in his brain was received by the thirteenth sister who had traveled through the dream.

Therefore, Thirteenth Sister’s dream is to recall the past scenes from the perspective of the murderer.

in other words--

Among the cars, buses, and long-distance runners who had just appeared on the bridge, among the hundreds of people who passed the bridge at 23:56, there was one person who was the murderer of Xiao Xi ten years ago.

At this point, the crime team decided to re-investigate the 1990 Xiao Xi murder case.
