Replace the evil way

"Do you remember what you said to me before you were arrested?" He Wei crossed his arms and looked down at the prisoner whose hands were handcuffed together.

Li Chenggui sat on the interrogation chair, thought for a moment and shook his head: "Officer, what did I say? Can you give me some hints?"

He Wei leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Tell me who helped you."

"No, I'm not familiar with the place here, who can I ask for help." Li Chenggui thought that He Wei was here to deceive him again, "Officer He, I really have to explain everything, even the punctuation marks in the transcript it is true."

He Wei continued to ask: "The method of committing the crime was also your own idea? No hearsay?"

"I really don't have this one. When I came up with these methods, I was a little proud. I feel better than Conan, hehe."

"..." He Wei was speechless. He didn't know what to be proud of. Crimes will get their due retribution, and these honors are waiting to be kept in prison to be complacent.

Coming out of the interrogation room, He Wei was called by Zheng Furui and received a key to the new dormitory.

"Hey, the new apartment has come down, and someone has already moved in, so hurry up."

He Wei picked up the key and took a look. It said "405", opposite to the original 404.He was not as delighted as Director Zheng expected, but stared at the key in a daze, and murmured: "Why is there no 404?"

Zheng Furui held the ceramic tea mug and touched his beer belly: "I don't know, I have to ask the designer of the apartment, maybe it's because of the taboo, two 4, how unlucky."

"Is all the furniture ready?" He Wei paused, "If it's my younger brother who helps, just tell me, I won't say anything."

"Hey, why did you get involved with your brother? Youqing and I picked out the furniture!" Zheng Furui knocked on the table with his index finger, "My girl has very good eyesight, I guarantee you will like it when you live in it."

He Wei smiled, said nothing, put the key in his pocket, turned and left.Zheng Furui always felt that his state was a little strange, but he couldn't tell where it was.

In the office, He Wei was fiddling with the keys in his hand, and a pretty face appeared at the door, with frowned eyes: "Are you working overtime tonight?"

He Wei shook his head, he didn't have a case in hand, so he just went to check out the new apartment.

Hearing that he was going to a new apartment, Zheng Youqing pointed his chin with his index finger and smiled like a flower: "Go and take a closer look, remember to praise me tomorrow."

"I must praise it. Old Zheng said that you picked it. You have a good eye."

"That's natural. I have a good vision in whatever I choose." Zheng Youqing pointed out something, and He Wei smiled bitterly: "I have no choice."

The matter of Li Chenggui and the new apartment is enough to prove that the first cycle no longer exists, and now all the development of things is continuing according to the situation after his second backtracking.

Including Cheng Zhenqing's absence, the two parallel worlds are cut off, and he can be sure that there will be no more dangers in this world, and no more Cheng Zesheng.

After get off work, He Wei drove to the future domain, stood in front of the wall at the end of the corridor again, this time did not stop for long, turned and opened the door of 405.

As the anti-theft door is slowly pushed open, the furniture and curtains with fresh colors are refreshing, and the light fruit green is full of vitality.The layout here is completely opposite to that of 404. It is no longer the apartment he is familiar with, including the clock on the wall, and it is not a quartz clock with a brass pendulum, but a fruit clock with kiwi carved on the plate to match the furniture.

Sitting on an unfamiliar sofa, He Wei seemed to be extremely tired, he tilted his body and fell down.

He closed his eyes, recalling the scene of entanglement on the sofa bed with Cheng Zesheng, every kiss and touch was so realistic and hot, it was just a memory, the skin on his neck seemed to remember being burned hot by the marks of his lips.

How could it be erased so easily?

He Wei opened his eyes, picked up his coat and left quickly, calling Lian Jingyuan: "Wait for me at home, I'll be there in an hour."

---

Before He Wei went, he habitually bought enough canned food and treats for cats from the pet store. As a result, after Lian Jingyuan opened the door, a petite teacup dog with a snow-white body hopped out and sat in the entrance with his head tilted to look at the cat. he.

He Wei was stunned, and Lian Jingyuan's voice sounded: "Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? The little short legs run quite fast."

He came out and found the teacup dog staring at He Wei, so he picked him up and said, "Come on, what did you bring?"

He Wei stared at the teacup dog, then at home: "Where's Stephen?"

"Who is Stephen? There is only Schrödinger here, whose nickname is Xuexue." Lian Jingyuan shook the teacup dog's paw, "Xuexue, come to say hello."

He Wei was in a complicated mood, feeling that the canned food and snacks he brought were useless.Unexpectedly, the reality would be so cruel, even the gentle puppet who had spent several cold nights with him would disappear, and the second tie that made him pin his affection was completely broken.

"How did you buy canned cat food?" Lian Jingyuan opened the bag, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Who told me that I have a cat? I didn't even tell anyone about my dog."

"If I said that you have been raising a puppet cat named Stephen before, would you believe it?" He Wei held his forehead and smiled wryly, "It's messed up, I'm completely messed up."

Lian Jingyuan poured him a cup of tea and asked him to sit down and talk slowly.He Wei couldn't find anyone to confide in. Telling others might be regarded as a lunatic, and telling Lian Jingyuan might be better, but it would just be considered "too much pressure to handle the case and needs to rest".

Halfway through He Wei's speech, Lian Jingyuan's expression changed from calm to surprised, and he really asked him if he was under too much pressure recently and had hallucinations.He Wei said with certainty: "I'm not crazy, my mental state is normal. Everything I told you is what happened in the past, but everything has changed now."

He lowered his head and looked at Schrödinger lying at his feet: "Including pets, Stephen and I have been together for so long, how could it be fake."

"But..." Lian Jingyuan smiled wryly, "Ah Wei, you can't find any evidence that can prove that you have experienced a time loop."

Even Jingyuan's words are not unreasonable, the previous cycle did not exist, and the "facts" he knew were inconsistent with the current established reality, without any strong evidence, how could he convince others to believe such absurd things?

He Wei suddenly stood up, went to Lian Jingyuan's study, and turned on the computer.Lian Jingyuan followed him in: "You want to use a computer? The power-on password I set..."

He Wei glanced at the keyboard and suddenly felt that there was no need to prove anything.

The letters with wear marks on the numeric keypad are also different from the previous ones, concentrated on the four numbers "5, 3, 1, 0".Lian Jingyuan came and entered "0315", and the account was logged in.

"Is it your mother's birthday?"

"Huh? My mother's birthday is in January. It's my lunar birthday."

He Wei sat on the chair, the memories in his mind were overturned again and again, which almost made him doubt himself.

Lian Jingyuan knelt down, put his hand on He Wei's shoulder, and looked at him worriedly: "Ah Wei, I know a professional psychologist. It's better to counsel you in this situation."

He Wei was silent for a long time, and shook his head stubbornly: "No need, what I experienced is real, I know it very well."

Several days have passed since Cheng Zesheng silently accompanied the man in his dream.He didn't know how long the specific time had passed, but in general, it was more than a month. Whenever a man went out, he would always be dressed in black, with hats and masks, fully armed, low-key and cautious.

But most of the time, he was at Lian Jingyuan's house, teasing a cat named Stephen.The relationship between one person and one cat is so good that when the man hugs the cat, Cheng Zesheng is a little jealous.

I don't know if cats are born with a kind of psychic reaction. Men can't see Cheng Zesheng, but it can accurately find Cheng Zesheng's location by its sense of smell, and sniff randomly where he is standing.

"Stephen, what are you looking for?" The man's voice was low and gentle, and he hugged Stephen. Stephen meowed, but unfortunately the man couldn't understand cat language, so he carried it to the balcony to groom.

Cheng Zesheng followed to the balcony, knelt down and looked at the man with his chin in his hands.Although he couldn't see his appearance, for some reason, Cheng Zesheng always felt that his appearance was not ugly, even his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and pleasant, and he was looking at the puppet cat with a smile at the moment.

"Seeing how well-behaved you are, I want to have a pet." He stroked Stephen's little head, "But I don't know if my cohabitant likes cats, and I've never heard him mention it."

I like.Cheng Zesheng replied immediately, but it was a pity that he couldn't make a sound for the man to hear.

He Wei hugged Stephen and rubbed its ears: "If I can save him, I will raise a puppet as beautiful as you and bring it with you often, okay?"

Cheng Zesheng woke up from his dream, sat by the bed and meditated for a while, and suddenly thought of buying a puppet.

Xie Wenxi was shocked when he heard that he wanted to keep a pet: "You don't want to keep a cat? It's a puppet. I suggest that you, a novice, should raise a baby. The puppet is delicate and difficult to serve. How can you have so much time for a busy person like you?"

"No, I want a puppet. It's meaningless to keep anything else." Cheng Zesheng's mind flashed the puppet in his dream again, "I want the one with a square face, dark brown ears, and brown back. , all four paws are white, the pads and nose are pink..."

"Damn, the requirements are so detailed, you have to tell me that I don't understand, I will find a friend to pick one according to your requirements, and I will contact you when the time comes."

After a week of tossing about buying a cat, Xie Wenxi's friend was very responsible and helped Cheng Zesheng run several catterys, finally picked out a puppet that Cheng Zesheng was most satisfied with, and brought it to the apartment without hesitation.

This puppet is four months old. Its appearance and body shape are very similar to Stephen's. Its voice is extremely soft, and its personality is also so gentle and clingy.On the first day at home, he refused to sleep in the nest and wanted to sleep with Cheng Zesheng on the bed.

"What should I call you..." Cheng Zesheng stroked the puppet's soft long fur, "Why don't you call me Stephen as well."

Cheng Zesheng fell asleep with his Stephen in his arms. After falling asleep, he was next to the man again. First, he went back to a magnificent big house for dinner. Waking up, gasping for breath, seemed to be quite frightened.

Cheng Zesheng squatted beside the bed, stretched out his pale hand, and covered the man's hand.

Don't be afraid, I'm with you.

He spoke silently to the man.

---

Xie Wenxi asked Cheng Zesheng to have dinner together, and told him that the friend who helped buy the cat was also here. Cheng Zesheng just wanted to thank him, so he agreed.

After arriving at the restaurant, an elegant beauty with long hair fluttering quietly and dignifiedly sat in the booth, smiling shyly at Cheng Zesheng.Cheng Zesheng felt that she looked familiar, and was remembering when he saw her, Xie Wenxi said mysteriously: "You can't remember? Lin Wan, we used to be in a high school, you forgot the pretty girl ?”

Cheng Zesheng shook his head in a daze. He didn't remember for sure. He was a late enlightened man and didn't pay attention to any beauties in school. It's pretty good that he can roughly remember her face.

After sitting down, Cheng Zesheng discovered that Xie Wenxi's dinner appointment was not because of buying a cat, but because he was here to help him.Lin Wan is like a lady from a big family, she only dares to look shyly at Cheng Zesheng quietly, but Xie Wenxi can be a matchmaker by pasting a mole on her, and she praises Lin Wan like nothing in the world, as if Cheng Zesheng is blind if he doesn't fall in love with her Gone.

Cheng Zesheng complained that this dead girl would find trouble, Xie Wenxi saw it, took advantage of Lin Wan to go to the bathroom, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame me, Auntie asked me to introduce beautiful girls to you. You are already thirty this year, the emperor is not in a hurry and the queen mother is in a hurry."

"...You should settle your own affairs first," Cheng Zesheng made a gesture to stand up, "I'm back in the bureau, I haven't finished my case yet, so I don't have time to fool around here with you."

"Hey, hey, you, it's not good to have more than one person to accompany you to raise cats? The owner of a pet shop doesn't know as much as you do." Xie Wenxi quickly grabbed him, "At least wait until the number is changed before leaving, otherwise I'll be in danger." Can't make a deal."

Lin Wan came back, and the two who had been in trouble with Xiao Yan just now pretended nothing happened.The two women were chatting happily, and Cheng Zesheng felt very bored. He propped his forehead and looked out of the window. He was so bored that he was counting the street lights downstairs.

Suddenly, his sight was attracted by a slender figure in a white shirt and black trousers. It was the rush hour, and a group of white-collar workers poured out from the opposite office building, but this man was the only one who caught Cheng Zesheng's sight.

His figure overlapped with that of the man in the dream, his height and body shape seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

"I think it's good, you add a WeChat, and you don't need me to be a middleman when you want to buy a cat or a dog in the future, right Wanwan?"

Cheng Zesheng stared at the man. He was standing at the intersection waiting for the traffic light. He was dressed from head to toe like an ordinary office worker. Like most people, he was looking down at his phone, nothing special.

Lin Wan revealed a shy face, and quietly picked up the phone: "Okay then..."

Cheng Zesheng stood up with a "swipe", said "I have something to do", and walked out of the restaurant quickly without looking back.He took three steps and one step at a time. Before he had time to take the elevator, he went down the safety stairs and ran out of the shopping mall.The intersection turned into a green light, and the crowd crossed the street in a turbulent manner. The man's figure was faintly visible, and it was almost impossible to distinguish it.

Cheng Zesheng also squeezed in. He passed through the office workers blocking the front, and he didn't care even if he received strange looks. His eyes were always fixed on the slender figure and the back of the head with short black hair.

It was just a little bit closer, and he was ahead.

Cheng Zesheng almost pushed through the crowd and grabbed the man's arm.

The man stopped in his tracks and turned his head in surprise, with horror and defense in his eyes.

Cheng Zesheng stared at him, half of the hazy black mist in his mind dissipated, and the facial features revealed were very similar to the man in front of him.

"Who are you?" It was Cheng Zesheng who came after him on his own initiative, but instead he questioned him first.

The man replied cautiously: "He, what danger."

How dangerous.

A blazing light burst out from Cheng Zesheng's empty heart, which was filled with this name.

Finally found.
