After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

Seeing that Guan Qi had no intention of looking up to do business, Shen Zhao stood in front of the simple counter of his store and said indifferently: "Sheng Xiaoshi, are you still doing business?"

When Guan Qi first heard the name, his fingers on the keyboard froze. He looked at the young girl standing at the counter in disbelief, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. The girl did look a lot like Sheng Baiyi, but she was not him. But... how could she know his nickname? That was a name that only Sheng Baiyi knew, and she was the only one allowed to call him by it.

"How do you know?" Guan Qi stared at Shen Zhao gloomily, not caring whether the girl in front of him was younger than him.

Ha, Shen Zhao sneered in his heart. Guan Qi's appearance might scare others, but it had no effect on her. She habitually raised an intriguing smile, and that familiar look made Guan Qi dazed. She was indeed not Sheng Baiyi when she was static, but when she moved, the temperament hidden inside was revealed. This person's every move was so similar to Sheng Baiyi!

Guan Qi showed a rare alert look, "Who are you?"

Shen Zhao rested his elbows on the glass tabletop, his chin resting on his palms, and the fingers that were beating the rhythm on his face were exactly the same as Sheng Baiyi's. "I just want to ask you, Sheng Xiaoshi, do you want to do business or not?"

No one except Sheng Baiyi dared to treat him like this. Although he didn't know the answer or the other party's intention, he had already closed his computer and walked towards the hidden back door of the store. His meaning was very clear, asking Shen Zhao to follow.

Shen Zhao rarely showed a sincere smile tonight, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot. He followed Guan Qi into the inner room with ease.

Guan Qi stood by the door, his inquiring eyes fixed on Shen Zhao. "Tell me, who are you and why do you know my name?"

Shen Zhao's attention had long been attracted by the components in the glass cabinet on the wall. He turned a deaf ear to Guan Qi's questions and began to pick up the components and look at them with reluctance.

Guan Qi couldn't bear it any longer, and punched the wall with a dull sound, which attracted Shen Zhao's attention.

Shen Zhao turned around and looked at Guan Qi. She had an urge to tell everything in her heart, but when she thought that even Xiao Yi had betrayed her, who else wouldn't? She couldn't afford the risk, so she chose to conceal it.

"You are Guan Qi, also Sheng Xiaoshi, and I am just an ordinary high school student who happened to be saved by Sheng Baiyi, Sister Sheng. She... saw that I was similar to her and recognized me as her sister. Of course, in her heart, she also has a younger brother, so she briefly told me about you, and we just treated it as a family acquaintance."

When Guan Qi heard Shen Zhao say that Sheng Baiyi treated him as his younger brother, a little unnaturalness appeared on his face. She was obviously younger than him, but she treated him as her younger brother and never asked him if he was willing!

After listening to Shen Zhao's explanation, Guan Qi no longer had any doubts. After all, Sheng Baiyi really saved many people, and the facial features of the girl in front of him were 80% similar to hers. It was not difficult to imagine that the nice guy would want to treat her as a sister.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"

Guan Qi's tone was still aggressive. After all, he didn't want to hear the name Sheng Xiaoshi from others.

Shen Zhao achieved his goal, and Guan Qi seemed to believe it, so he continued: "I heard from Sister Sheng that if I want to assemble a computer, I have to find you."

Guan Qi stared at Shen Zhao for a long time but couldn't make out anything. If she asked him to assemble something, it must not be as simple as playing games. So, what exactly does this girl want to do? Does she want to cross the line at such a young age?

The inquiring look did not last long before Shen Zhao interrupted him. "Since I can find you, I will not hide anything. The function must be able to support hacking into the existing company's highest security system. As for the technical aspects, you don't need to worry about it. I only require the hardware to be strong enough."

Guan Qi is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things. Besides, anyone who comes to him to buy accessories is not a normal person. He can protect himself by asking less. But the girl in front of him always calls Sheng Baiyi "sister", so he can't help but take her seriously. That person is the most protective of his people. If something happens to this girl after taking his accessories, Sheng Baiyi will definitely be the first one to not forgive him.

He seemed reluctant and said in a hurry: "Be careful. Since you want to fight those companies, don't let your address be discovered."

"Of course!" Shen Zhao gave him a bright smile. Although her face was ruddy, Guan Qi vaguely saw the shadow of Sheng Baiyi in her.

Shen Zhao bought an assembled laptop without much effort. It looked like a brick and was all black. It was much heavier than an ordinary laptop and quite expensive. However, she took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code for payment without even blinking.

"Ding Dong," another message reminder sounded. Mu Yanchen, who had already closed his eyes, opened them again. His eyes were particularly bright in the dim bedroom. He looked at the screen quietly. Compared with the small amount he had paid before, this amount made him raise his eyebrows. That was several years' income for an ordinary person. Did a high school girl need to spend so much money so late at night?

Not long after, another message came. This time the amount was within the normal range. Mu Yanchen silently suppressed his doubts and then slowly closed his eyes.

Shen Zhao returned home with her laptop and turned on the ceiling light in the living room. She quickly opened her laptop and put it on the table. She took out a universal card from her bag. The data was calculated separately. She could access the Internet at any time and anywhere. Although she didn't plan to investigate anything tonight, it was better to avoid risks as soon as possible. She couldn't be chased back to her home by then, right? That would be too dangerous.

There were knocking sounds in the living room. Shen Zhao opened several channels, used the external network to make a big circle and then entered the internal network. Then he hacked into several systems and retrieved the surveillance footage of the day she died. The video only showed Sheng Baiyi driving out of the research institute that day and saying goodbye to Xiao Yi at the door. Xiao Yi was the last person Sheng Baiyi saw that day. The scene changed to see Sheng Baiyi driving onto the national highway. After that, without exception, all the videos that could see Sheng Baiyi came to an abrupt end.

Shen Zhao frowned and clenched her hands into fists. In just one day, those people had cut off all the clues. But she couldn't hesitate now. She quickly cut off all traces. If she didn't take precautions, it would be easy for those people to track her down. She was alone and weak now. Fortunately, she was in the dark, otherwise she would have lost her life...

Shen Zhao recalled the scene in the car that day. When she woke up that day, she found that the water had already reached her waist. She panicked and just wanted to see if the information about the new drug was still there. But now that she thinks about it carefully, the layout of the car was simple, and it was obviously not the one she drove out of the research institute. So after she drove onto the national highway that day, there was a high probability that she was moved to other vehicles halfway. As for how many times she changed, she didn't know. She only knew that in the end, a humble SUV was buried with Sheng Baiyi.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao lay back, her entire back against the edge of the sofa, her head resting on the soft sofa cushion, her head staring blankly at the ceiling. This murder case was much more complicated than she thought, and what were those people behind it after? Was it Sheng Baiyi or the information? Or both? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Why was it so difficult? She was just an ordinary researcher who kept her name hidden. Her past "great achievements" had long been forgotten. How could she have offended anyone?

She scratched her head and decided not to think about the things she couldn't figure out for the time being. Anyway, the rainstorm tonight was heavy enough and those suspicious traces were probably washed away. She was alone now and she couldn't go diving in every pond, right?

Thinking of this, it suddenly became clear to me. Anyway, "I" had been eaten by the fish in the water until only bones were left. I could find it eventually if I looked slowly. After all, there were only a limited number of places with water in H City!

After figuring it out, Shen Zhao didn't make things difficult for himself anymore. After taking a hot bath, he lay down on the soft bedding and quickly fell asleep.

**

Shen Zhao went to school as usual. During this week, Xu Yaoyao was unusually well-behaved and did not bother her unnecessarily. Since Shen Zhao had talked it out with Lu Siming that day, although Lu Siming was depressed and would look at her from time to time, he was ultimately focused on his studies. She was very satisfied with this result, and she began to adapt to campus life again.

The next day, when Shen Zhao stepped into the classroom as usual, he found it unusually noisy. Small groups of people gathered together, discussing something.

Shen Zhao was not a gossipy person. She raised her eyebrows and ignored it. She threw a bundle of papers on the table, pulled out the chair and sat down. She was not a gossipy person, but that didn't mean others wouldn't tell her the contents.

Isn't Xu Ke jogging over here?

Shen Zhao was answering questions quickly with a pen in hand. Xu Ke was shocked by his speed. She usually didn't pay attention to the gossip around her, but what she just heard was too scary and she had to tell her about it.

"Shen Zhao, listen to me!"

"Go on, I'm listening." She didn't stop for a moment.

Xu Ke was a little depressed, but still said, "Do you know the news that was released this morning? The Internet is going crazy now."

"what?"

"It is said that a diving enthusiast in our city found a body and a car while free diving!"

Shen Zhao's grip on the pen froze, and a strange look appeared on her face. It seemed that there was no need for her to search lake by lake, as someone was eager to salvage "her". She threw away the pen in her hand, pulled out a chair beside her, patted the chair, and motioned Xu Ke to sit down.

"I'm quite interested in this news. Please tell me more about it."

Xu Ke sat down and continued, "The incident happened at the reservoir in our city. I heard that it has been surrounded by the police. The preliminary investigation shows that it was a woman. The possibility of homicide cannot be ruled out. Other information needs further investigation. If it was homicide, it is too bad, so everyone's reaction is so strong!" She looked at Shen Zhao's expression while talking, "Shen Zhao, do you think this woman committed suicide or was murdered? She actually ran to the reservoir."

Shen Zhao looked away and said calmly, "It's hard to say. It rained heavily a few days ago. If it was murder, can we still find out?"

"How is it impossible? You have to believe in the strength of the police!"

"Yeah," Shen Zhao laughed mockingly, "Let's talk about that free diving enthusiast. Why did he choose to go diving there?"

"In the latest interview, he said that he discovered it by accident. He was shocked when he saw the scene in the water. I heard that the woman's skeleton still had some flesh stuck to her body and she was tied up by a safety belt. He said that he didn't care about anything else and immediately swam to the surface. Then he called the police and was detained by the police for his illegal operation."

"That's just such a coincidence."

Xu Ke smiled slightly, then disappeared again, "That's right, luckily that person went diving, otherwise when do you think that woman would be found?"

"I don't know. Maybe he will be discovered when he can't even hold up his skeleton."

Shen Zhao spoke lightly, as if it really had nothing to do with him.

"That woman is so pitiful. Does she have any enemy? How could he treat her like this!" Xu Ke was certain that it was a homicide.

Shen Zhao's eyes flickered. "I don't know. Let's wait for the police's announcement."

"you're right!"

The class bell rang and Xu Ke returned to his seat, but Shen Zhao was a little absent-minded. She looked at the scenery at the horizon and fell into deep thought.

She believed that the people who harmed her would never want "her" to see the light of day again, and the location of the H City Reservoir was indeed remote, and the city would not use the water from the reservoir unless it was absolutely necessary. It was indeed a reasonable choice of location. When the city really needed water, "her" might not be found. In addition, due to the corrosion for such a long time, the erosion of the surrounding environment by rain, and Sheng Baiyi's background as an orphan, the case would probably be hastily closed. Who would do everything to seek justice for her?

Furthermore, was it really a coincidence that the person who accidentally discovered "her" while free diving?

But this question was quickly explained by Shen Zhao. Even if that person was really arranged, "she" had only been missing for a week. Normally, if they really wanted to find her, they would notify the police and then see where her car was. But that person was able to locate the water so quickly. Either there was a traitor among the gang, someone who wanted to help "her". Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain this operation. But if there was a traitor among the gang, shouldn't they have appeared to save "her" when she was drowned? Why did they need to wait until "she" died? Or maybe there were other insiders?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao secretly divided those people into two factions, and there are two possibilities.

Now that "she" has been found, there are only a few people related to Sheng Baiyi, and they will always be called in for questioning. Although she cannot obtain the content now, since she knows the location of the reservoir, it is understandable that she goes there to take a look.

I don’t know when the police will announce the identity of the victim. If it wasn’t planned by that gang, then this situation would really catch them off guard.
