When Guan He finished taking a shower and lay down in bed, he was still feeling regretful about why he had inexplicably agreed to the request of that annoying woman.

It was obvious that he didn't like her and he had put in so much effort just to escape from her. In fact, he could just tell a lie to get rid of her, so why did he agree to it so stupidly?

Guan He sighed and gave up the idea of ​​lying and cancelling his trip to the mall tomorrow. He couldn't sleep, and it was too early for him to go to bed now.

Guan He was forced to get up. Without turning on the light, he gently opened the door with the weak flashlight from his mobile phone.

The light from the lamp would alert the alert woman. Guan He didn't want to let his mother know that he stayed up all night and went to the study to read some useless things.

He gently placed his hand on the doorknob and did not turn it immediately. After waiting for a while and making sure that there was quiet and no movement around, Guan He gently turned the doorknob.

The dim study was visibly clean and tidy, and next to the rows of bookshelves there was a basket of newspapers.

Guan He did not turn on the light. He used a flashlight to randomly pick out a newspaper. The headline on it was the Changqing Town Dismemberment Case on February 2004, 2.

Guan He rolled his Adam's apple and rubbed his eyes hard. Even though he had read this newspaper many times, he felt uncomfortable and easily lost control of his emotions every time he opened it.

Under the blurred photo of the murdered girl it was written "Yan Tang, 8 years old, her body parts were found in a trash can somewhere in Changqing Town at 2004:2 am on February 9, ."

Guan He couldn't help but clench the newspaper tightly. He looked back and saw that there was a case of a girl being dismembered almost every once in a while.

About a month later, the following newspapers reported that the serial dismemberment murderer had been arrested.

"On March 2004, 3, Zhang Shi, the suspect in the serial dismemberment case, was arrested at 30: a.m. The suspect denied his crime, but the local police confirmed Zhang Shi's suspicion through fingerprint comparison of the murder weapon."

"On April 2004, 4, the suspect Zhang Shi was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide and deprived of his political rights for life."

Guan He silently looked at the "suspect" with mosaiced face in the photo. After a long while, he just whispered: "I will definitely find a way to find the real murderer... I absolutely don't believe you would kill someone..."

He re-read those newspapers for a long time. The case from twenty years ago had long been forgotten. The original residents of Changqing Town had moved away, and there was nothing left of those who stayed.

There are fewer and fewer clues to be found, and the case happened too long ago. In fact, Guan He himself knows that there is almost no possibility of finding the real culprit.

"I got a 're-release' for this...but why not let me have full control..."

"Then what's the point of me getting it... I want to go back in time and save them... I want the real murderer to be caught..."

Guan He murmured softly and then sighed heavily. He put down the newspaper and closed the study door again.

...

Guan He had no habit of sleeping in. He was used to getting up early. However, to his surprise, the woman seemed to get up even earlier than him.

Hot porridge and fried eggs had already been placed on the table. The busy figure of the woman made Guan He not know what to feel for a moment.

"Ah! He's up!"

The woman quickly washed her hands and leaned forward: "Mom will bring you a sandwich in a while. The fried eggs are your favorite soft-boiled eggs. Do you need to go to the company after eating? You can accompany me to the mall after you are done!"

"No, I'm taking a rest today."

Guan He glanced at the breakfast on the table and then smiled helplessly.

As expected...she likes to make breakfast like sandwiches which doesn't take too much time...

"I can take you out for a walk after dinner. I'm not busy today, and I can buy you some clothes."

Guan He sat down calmly and ate the fried eggs slowly. His words startled the woman and then she smiled softly: "I will treat you as my son who is filial to me."

Guan He didn't respond. He could feel that his mother seemed very happy, and his slightly irritable mood also eased a little.

The two of them finished their meal in silence. Guan He kept his word and drove a new Mercedes. The damaged Cadillac could be taken to a scrap recycling station for recycling, so he could drive the new Mercedes for the time being.

"Did you change your car? I remember you didn't have this one before."

All he knows is that his car is expensive, but he really doesn't recognize the car logo.

"There was a car accident. The Cadillac was scrapped and we replaced it with a new one."

"Drive more carefully next time... This is so expensive... a waste of money..."

The woman was a little afraid to sit down, and she had to clean her shoes before she dared to go in. Guan He looked at her with a little surprise and then laughed: "You were not like this before, you were carefree like a man, and you were good at fighting. How come you have become a good mother now?"

"It's not that you don't like..."

The woman sighed and leaned aside. Only then did Guan He notice that she was wearing long sleeves.

The weather is so hot right now, but she uses long sleeves to cover her tattoos because she knows she doesn’t like them…

Guan He suddenly felt that he had gone too far. It was the past and it is now. His mother just had some personality, and it was not illegal to have a tattoo. What era is this? Discriminating against women because they have tattoos and smoke is even more feudal than the Qing Dynasty.

Guan He gently turned on the air conditioner, and then changed his tone: "You didn't bring a short-sleeved shirt? It's still quite hot in City A. I'll buy you some later. I remember you like the kind with chains and holes."

The woman's eyes were clearly bright. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Just... ordinary ones will do... I'm not old enough to dress like a little girl."

"You're not old. If you stand here, people will think you're my sister."

Guan He suddenly felt in a good mood. He parked his car directly in the underground parking lot of the largest shopping mall in City A. He didn't come here often. It was indeed expensive and he couldn't afford it.

After the woman followed him in, Guan He picked up a few short-sleeved shirts at random and compared them. He thought they were all pretty good, but when his mother saw the price tag, she directly held Guan He's hand.

"So expensive? It's inlaid with fucking gold? How about we buy it somewhere else?"

The woman dragged Guan He and wanted to leave. A short-sleeved shirt cost more than 30,000 yuan. Was it inlaid with gold or something? Would it make you immortal if you wore it?

"It's just a few pieces of clothing. This is a way to honor my mother."

Guan He asked the lady beside him to pack a few pieces. He could see that his mother was a little panicked. She probably didn't want to waste the money, but was also afraid that she would embarrass him in public.

"Just buy two... don't buy anything else... let's go buy somewhere else."

The woman gently tugged at Guan He. She thought that a short-sleeved shirt cost thirty or forty thousand yuan, so buying a tomato here would cost several thousand yuan!

Eating scrambled eggs with tomatoes would cost you everything!

"Okay...then you can check the navigation on your phone and choose the place while I drive, okay?"

Guan He didn't want to argue with her, so he could only go along with her. However, seeing that she seemed excited because of his concession, he felt a little angry.

The two short-sleeves cost nearly 100,000 yuan, which made his mother feel distressed. She searched for the navigation in the car for a long time. Guan He waited for her for more than ten minutes before the navigation found a small supermarket.

The supermarket is a bit out of the way. To be honest, when Guan He saw the distance, he wanted to tell his mother that the gas money might be more expensive than the things sold inside.
