Tiandi Baiju

At six o'clock in the evening, the warehouse:

"The retrogression of time happened here," Du Jing said, "Recall, what have we done?"

Zhou Luoyang said, "Why don't you remember so clearly that you don't have to report the situation to your boss?"

Du Jing replied: "I took a whole day off, don't change the subject, first..."

Zhou Luoyang: "I think your phone is about to explode."

There are more than [-] missed calls on Du Jing's mobile phone, all of which show the same name "Xiao Li".Zhou Luoyang didn't bother to ask who Xiaoli was, and Du Jing didn't bother to explain.

Du Jing said again: "Could this warehouse be the junction of the four-dimensional and five-dimensional spaces? When I walked out of the warehouse, I was taken into the car by the criminal police, and when I got off the car, the backtracking began."

Du Jing gently pushed down the simple chandelier, and the hanging light bulbs swayed lightly, shining in and out, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the dark room.

Zhou Luoyang: "Your imagination is too rich."

Du Jing: "Compared with mental patients, there is still a little difference."

Zhou Luoyang: "Then how do you explain that I've been here before, but there's no going back 24 hours? And I'm starting to wonder if this thing really happened."

"Memory can deceive people," Du Jing said, "it's like a dream, but I believe there must be something strange. Don't you want to find out?"

Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to admit: "Well, I really don't really think so."

When Zhou Luoyang encounters things that cannot be explained by scientific principles, most of the time he subconsciously avoids them. According to his idea, he wants to forget this unreasonable and repetitive 24 hours as soon as possible, and treat it as memory confusion to cover up the past.In fact, many ordinary people will choose the same reaction. This is a human instinct, a defense mechanism to protect themselves from getting involved in danger.

Du Jing didn't take this at all, just like when he encountered a rare problem when he was studying, he always had to dig into the corner to solve it.

"You don't dare to think about it," Du Jing said, "Using haunting to explain this phenomenon simply, I'm afraid that after the truth is revealed..."

"Stop talking!" Zhou Luoyang was furious in an instant.

Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang seriously, and said, "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Luoyang was really afraid of being haunted. After all, he needed to be alone for a long time when he was a child.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.

Du Jing's response was exactly the same as today: "What are you afraid of when I'm here?"

"I'm afraid I can't do it well, so I really put the two of us in again." Zhou Luoyang watched a horror movie about a cruise ship, and the memory left on him was too deep, "What if something strange is triggered by accident? , it would be bad to trap the two of us in an endless loop of the day."

Du Jing said, "Is the future important to you?"

"Of course," Zhou Luoyang said, "It was hard to find you. I hope we are all well. There are still many things we can do in the future."

Du Jing stopped talking, Zhou Luoyang knew that this sentence had moved him.

"And what if," Zhou Luoyang chose to face his fear directly, "I messed up the time and ran into my past self, what should I do?"

Du Jing thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It makes sense."

Zhou Luoyang was sitting on the spring bed in the warehouse, while Du Jing was walking around in the warehouse, standing at the corner under the shelf, unwilling to give up trying to find out a certain time-distorted area, as if he would be teleported away in the next moment, leaving In the present, enjoy the past and the future.

"But the time can be turned back 24 hours," Du Jing said, "which means that you can do many things, such as buying a bet on double-color balls, so that the economic problems you don't want to ask for help can be solved."

"Speaking of which," Zhou Luoyang stretched out his hand to Du Jing, "Bring me your phone, and lend me some money. I'll take Le Yao to report tomorrow. Maybe there's room to spend money."

Du Jing handed over the phone.

Zhou Luoyang said while transferring the money: "The first prize of the lottery should have been won by someone else, and the time and cause and effect were disrupted to win the lottery. Isn't it equivalent to taking his money from an innocent person? And using supernatural power What difference does it make to rob?"

Du Jing didn't expect this, and admitted, "You're right."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Do you remember what happened on the first September [-]th? You said that Yu Jianqiang died and it was on the news. Isn't that right?"

Du Jing hummed, sat side by side with Zhou Luoyang, took his mobile phone and swiped it. When they went out in the evening, the two of them had been paying attention to the news. Yesterday's murder did not cause any reports, and it was silent.What is the identity of the deceased?The media did not rush in, and the criminal police did not know whether they had arrived at the scene to investigate.

"On the second, repeated September [-]th, Yu Jianqiang survived," Zhou Luoyang said, "but the blackmailer died for him. What does that mean?"

Zhou Luoyang himself 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's not a coincidence? Recall that there were five people on the roof of the 27th floor, you, me, Yu Jianqiang, and those two who came to blackmail you. Assuming fate is doomed, at that time At the node, one out of five people must die..."

"Stop talking," Du Jing said in a deep voice, "Got it!"

Both of them fell silent, and after a while, Du Jing said again: "That's why I asked you to hide and not come out."

Zhou Luoyang actually thought a lot about this, but he didn't say it out loud. Too many facts happened in the past two days.Now he only hopes to seal up all this as soon as possible and never mention it again.Give him a little more time, and let him and Du Jing slowly re-enter each other's lives.

Judging from last night's performance, no matter what Du Jing's profession is, there is a certain degree of danger. Zhou Luoyang hopes that after a while, Du Jing can be freed from this profession, but this cannot be said now.

They need to start over and understand each other.

"Forget it then." Du Jing quickly dispelled the idea, after all, Zhou Luoyang was more important than Zhou Luoyang's curiosity about supernatural phenomena.

Zhou Luoyang knew that he hadn't given up, but he didn't doubt that he would create other problems. In the past, as long as it was something he insisted on, Du Jing would never do it again. From this point of view, he is still very obedient, and maybe it will last forever. In getting along, he has long been used to listening to Zhou Luoyang.

Du Jing opened the drawer, and saw the watches without straps in the drawer, and they were placed in the same position as yesterday.

"Which one is Daytona?" Du Jing said.

"Black," Zhou Luoyang replied, "Do you like it?"

But Du Jing took a fancy to another watch, which was made of three square metal plates stacked at thirty degrees staggered.

"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 No.1 customer after opening."

Zhou Luoyang said, "I want to see you off."

"For what reason?" Du Jing asked.

"Congratulations on the gift for your entry." Zhou Luoyang cut into his topic perfectly, and hinted at Du Jing, "You haven't told me before you go to work, how long have you been doing this?"

"It's not long," Du Jing said, "only half a year."

Just as Du Jing was about to adjust the time, Zhou Luoyang stretched out his hand, and Du Jing handed him the watch, put it on his shoulder naturally, and sat side by side with him by the bed.

Zhou Luoyang looked at it for a moment and said, "I'll match you with a steel watchband. You have a big frame, 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, and 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 you came back."

Zhou Luoyang smiled wryly, but did not answer.

Du Jing was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind.

"I'll move in with you," 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 entered his life.He has been too depressed this year, the key is not to show a tired expression in front of his younger brother.Every day, I have to strengthen my spirits and tell myself that I am his reliance, and I cannot give up.

The pressure of debts and the responsibility of taking care of Le Yao weighed heavily on him, making him breathless several times.Compared with when he was in college, his mentality is completely different.He sometimes suspects that he is about to suffer from depression, but compared to Du Jing before, Zhou Luoyang feels that he can still work hard and wait until the day when the mountains and rivers return and the willows are dark and the flowers 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 first."

Du Jing drove out, took 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, it was good, so he didn't need to take a taxi, so he made an appointment with him. After Du Jing watched Zhou Luoyang go upstairs, he drove away.

At ten o'clock the next morning:

Du Jing entered the building, pressed his fingerprints, took the elevator up to the seventeenth floor, straightened his suits in front of the mirror, and pushed open the glass door of "Changyi Office". There were all investigators in black suits in the conference room. One was a middle-aged man in his fifties, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and put a cigarette butt in the breakfast takeaway box.

Du Jing took his seat in 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 pretended not to see it.

"Have you had enough sleep?" the middle-aged man said.

Du Jing didn't speak.

Middle-aged man: "Where did you sleep? I heard that you haven't been home for two days."

"On the bench in the community." Du Jing said casually.

"How is Yu Jianqiang's situation?" the middle-aged man said, "When will you go back and monitor him?"

Du Jing touched the phone and found that it was thrown on the car. He knocked on the conference table with his knuckles, and the young man on the opposite side handed over a stack of documents.

"Let's report briefly," Du Jing said, "The clues are not clear at the moment, Yu Jianqiang..."

"If the clues are not clear, you have to speak up, don't you?" The middle-aged man also knocked on the table, interrupting Du Jing, "I thought you were silenced."

Du Jing continued as if he didn't hear it: "The first evidence I found was that Yu Jianqiang's sexual orientation was male. The possibility of murder by cooperating with the group's secretary of the board was ruled out...Who took the photo?"

"Me!" The young man raised his hand immediately.

For a while, everyone in the meeting room was looking at the profile photo of Zhou Luoyang in front of Du Jing, colored on A4 paper. The time was exactly 05:30 in the evening of September [-]th, and the place was a snapshot taken before Zhou Luoyang entered the restaurant. .

Du Jing looked at the young man, who suddenly felt a threatening aura.

"Who asked you to follow up?" Du Jing's tone became gloomy.

"I...I..." said the young man.

The middle-aged man smoothed things over: "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 looked back a little in unison, 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 instead.

After a few seconds of silence, the sound of a paper shredder sounded in the conference room—Du Jing walked to the paper shredder, shredded while looking at the documents, shredded a few photos, and kept two documents, including Zhou Luoyang's personal background The investigation was also broken.

"Yu Jianqiang wants to keep a man, but it doesn't mean he is gay." The middle-aged man said.

"I can also say that this person is not gay," Du Jing said in a deep voice, "he is just short of 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 a private room."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"I have the desire to adopt a male college student, but I can't just confirm his sexual orientation. Maybe others are looking for some excitement?" 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?"

Everyone laughed again.

"Intuition." Du Jing replied without any change in expression, "According to the conversation that night, Wang Ke's death has little direct relationship with Yu Jianqiang, but he can't get away if he concealed the matter... After reading the account book, What conclusion did you draw?"

The middle-aged man took out the file 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 transferred, so it was not a problem to forge some materials.

"Here is the background investigation report of the deceased," Xiaoli 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: "33 years old, male, 1.8 meters [-]. From Jiangsu, he was responsible for helping usury debt collection. He hired four younger brothers. I was afraid that Yu Jianqiang would retaliate, so they all ran away overnight. The police are investigating. This group of people There are too many people offended, it is difficult to draw any conclusions. Yu Jianqiang's vice president was questioned, and apart from the fact that he fell to his death on the building, there is no other evidence to show that there is a direct relationship with Yu Jianqiang."

The middle-aged man said: "Yu Jianqiang's side will be like this first, and Du Jing will go to work quickly. The four groups will report on the progress of the informant who cracked down on gangsters this month."

Another executive in front of the conference table flipped through the folder, but Du Jing had already left the conference room. The young assistant called Xiaoli bowed to the boss to apologize, and quickly chased after him.

"Brother Jing..."

"Delete the contents of the USB flash drive." Du Jing paused at the door and said, "Let's not take this as 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 fear, holding the coffee, feeling a little uneasy.Du Jing took the coffee paper bag, went into the elevator and went downstairs.

Zhou Luoyang also wore a suit today, first he carried Le Yao out of the car and into Du Jing's car, while Du Jing got off with the 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?"

"Acquaintances introduce you to the job. It was originally designed by the second generation of the rich." Du Jing replied casually, turned around and stretched out his hand, fastened the seat belt for Le Yao, and drove off.

Le Yao finally waited for the chance to interject, and said, "Did you drive around while you were studying?"

"Very little." Zhou Luoyang replied, "Someone asked me to take two years to complete all four years of university courses. How can I have so much time?"

Le Yao laughed, and Du Jing glanced at Le Yao through the rear mirror, and said, "You two brothers still look alike."

Le Yao said: "Thank you for taking care of me, aren't you going to work today? Ask for leave?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "He can't fall in love, he's just messing around."

Du Jing said: "Recently, the company owes a lot of wages and cannot pay the rent. The landlord wants to drive me out."

Zhou Luoyang's face changed slightly, he glanced sideways at Du Jing, and warned him not to talk nonsense.

He naturally knew that Du Jing wanted to move here, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to Le Yao.With Zhou Luoyang's attitude, he wanted Du Jing to come to the house a few more times first, and occasionally stay overnight, and then ask for advice after Le Yao got used to his presence.

"Do you want to come to live with us?" Le Yao smiled, "After I entered school, my brother was at home by himself, and he was quite boring."

Du Jing looked at Le Yao through the rear-view mirror, and replied, "You don't mind?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "Leyao! Don't listen to him, he can't afford the rent."

"Of course I don't mind." Le Yao smiled, "After you came back, brother is in a good mood every day."

Zhou Luoyang: "Leyao!"

Du Jing said: "I also think he is in a good mood."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."
