Timeline Supervisory Board

Before the meeting, Hua Xin thought that the two clues that the uncle thought were suspicious were not important, because the uncle had already forgotten.Thinking about it now, it really cannot be called a basis for "reversing the verdict".However, for them, the investigators of the Supervisory Committee, these two points are suspicious enough.

After thanking the uncle, Hua Xin left the teahouse with warmth.On the way home, Hua Xin made it clear that it was time to return to the time when the Li family case occurred in the early morning of September 2016, 9.

Along the way, Wen Xu couldn't bear the restlessness in her heart, and was eager to try.

Time jumping is not an instant trip, Hua Xin needs to prepare a lot of things, but this time he didn't send Wen Xu to the storage room to find things, but picked and picked them in person, and then packed a travel bag .

Taking out the time jumper to set the time point, Hua Xin found that Wen Xu was rubbing his arms, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

"It's cold." Wen Xu said bluntly, "Just jumping for a few seconds can freeze a person to death."

"Have you gotten used to it yet?"

Wen Xu curled her lips, thinking that this kind of thing has nothing to do with adapting or not.

Gossip aside, Wen Xu experienced the process of freezing to death again, jumping from the rainy and snowy noon to the night full of stars and moons.

Perhaps it was because it was only a few days ago, Wen Xu didn't have any subtle sense of time difference, but was just a headache for the next thing.He glanced at his watch, it was 9:20 in the morning of September 04th.

"Four fifteen?" Wen Xu said to himself, "So, the real time of death of the Li family couple is five fifteen."

Hua Xin looked at the surrounding environment to determine how far they were from the crime scene, and responded to Wen Xu by the way: "We only have 10 minutes, and we will be back at 45:[-]. Let's go, we should be in front."

Wen Xu tightened the straps on her shoulders, and followed Hua Xin's footsteps.

The autumn night is cool and breezy, and the community is quiet as usual.What I saw yesterday when I came here has not changed, and the vehicle whose driving recorder was stolen by Hua Xin is still parked in place.

Hua Xin looked up at the window of Li's house, and said, "The lights at the scene of the main case are still dark, and Li Shixiang and his wife should still be sleeping."

"What should we do next?" Wen Xu asked, "The fifth floor of their house, you can't climb up like last time, it's too dangerous."

Hua Xin couldn't help but smile: "Of course not, the boss still cherishes his life."

Can't go up, how to install pinhole camera?If you don't pretend to be this thing, how do you know what happened inside?

In this regard, Hua Xin said helplessly: "Because of the restrictions of the crime scene, we cannot enter. This kind of situation often happens, you must be aware of this."

Wen Xu pursed her lips and nodded her head: "Okay, I understand very well. I just want to know now, what are you going to do?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

Without saying hello, Hua Xin walked slowly towards the side of the community, where there was a truck selling "fried chicken, fried squid, fried skewers".

Hua Xin said as he walked, "If we go upstairs now, it will be bad if someone finds out. So we have to wait until the time of the crime to go up."

"Isn't it?" Wen Xu was surprised, "I have to wait for an hour, boss."

Hua Xin pushed Wen Xu to the gap between the truck and the building. This gap can just accommodate an adult. Hua Xin said, "You are the one waiting here for an hour."

Pointing to her own nose, Wen Xu asked, "I'm the only one waiting? Why are you going?" After finishing speaking, she narrowed her eyes, "Could it be that the boss is going to do some shit?"

Hua Xin asked dumbfoundedly, "Assistant Wen, what book have you been reading recently?"

Wen Xu chuckled: "Seven heroes and five righteousness."

Hua Xin found that he was speechless.In the end, he had no choice but to slap Wen Xu on the head.

After leaving Wen Xu, Hua Xin just walked around the community to see if there was anything unusual.The community is not big, and it only took about 15 minutes to get there. When I returned to Wen Xu's side, my assistant suspected that I was looking for a place to drain the water.

Hua Xin also got into the gap, sat on the ground side by side with Wen Xu, and chatted.

Wen Xu was also curious, so she asked, "Boss, do you think if I go to the police station now, can I see myself?"

Without even thinking about it, Hua Xin said, "Yes."

"Really?" Wen Xu seemed very interested, "I met myself, what will happen?"

"Nothing will happen." Hua Xin squinted at him, "Take advantage of this time, let me give you some knowledge of popular science. First of all, we are not jumping in space, but jumping according to the time axis, so even if you watch Nothing will happen to you. Because, on the timeline, that belongs to you in the past."

Wen Xu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I still don't understand. When handling Liao Wen's paperwork, we went back to the construction site several times, all at the same time, why didn't I see myself?"

"Because we don't belong to that time." Hua Xin said patiently, "The time axis records the correct time development... Let's put it this way, using the time of Cheng Shuanglin's death as a metaphor. The time of his death is: December 2013 On December 12th, in the normal development of events, we did not exist at the construction site on December 12th, 2013. We returned from the future to the past. Therefore, the timeline will not record our appearance, and you will naturally not encounter To yourself. But now the situation is just the opposite, your existence in the police station is a normal time development process of the time axis, but you here and now are abnormal."

This, this... is too brain-inducing, right?

Wen Xu was full of doubts: "Boss, since the timeline will not record us in the correct development of events, why can we change history?"

"This is the meaning of the existence of the Supervisory Committee." Hua Xin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, bit it in his mouth, and suddenly remembered that he could not smoke, so he had to fiddle with it in his hand, "What is the time axis? It is tangible. It is still invisible, and no one knows. What we can be sure of is that time must be taken in the dark to ensure that certain things and certain people develop smoothly, or that certain things cannot happen, and certain people cannot be kept alive. But The timeline itself can't do this, it can only achieve its goal in an artificial way, so there is the timeline supervisory board."

Wen Xu understands what Hua Xin means, but what she understands is far less than what she doesn't understand.

"Boss, what's the point of the event that the timeline interfered with? Just like the chemical plant, we changed history, the chemical plant didn't explode, and then? What did it do? What did it change?"

Hua Xin shrugged with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe it will be ten or twenty years after the chemical plant works, and maybe we will all be dead by then. In terms of time, our existence is just a moment."

A person's life is all about a moment.

Wen Xu felt touched, and sighed softly: "Your words, when I am old and dying, I must say it to you again."

Hua Xin couldn't help laughing, and rubbed Wen Xu's head: "What are you thinking? If I die, I will die before you."

Wen Xu was taken aback, and asked sincerely: "Will we grow old?"

Hua Xin was also stunned, but just pursed her lips and smiled...

Wen Xu sighed and said, "Actually, age is not the key. What if I die in the line of duty tonight?"

It was originally a joke, but Hua Xin's expression darkened, and there was a touch of sadness in the eyes looking at Wen Nu.

"Boss, can I ask you something?" The more Wen Xu talked, the more interested he became, just like a studious student, asking non-stop, "If I die in the line of duty, will the supervisory committee give me a pension?"

Hua Xin answered dumbfounded: "Yes, a lot."

"Great!" Wen Xu didn't feel depressed at all because of the topic of his own death, but said excitedly, "Take it, remember, deduct the money I owe you, and give the rest to my grandma."

Hua Xin looked at him meaningfully, and after a while, said: "If I die, you can find a good partner."

In the crevice deep in the corner, the moonlight couldn't illuminate Hua Xin's face, and even his eyes couldn't see clearly.In the dark, Wen Xu suddenly hated this topic, hated himself for talking about it.Clumsy, he didn't know what to say, he just lowered his head sullenly, and grabbed the backpack in his arms.

After many years, I warmly recalled this night alone.It was a sad discovery that no one except him knew what Hua Xin said about his plans after his death, and even the timeline couldn't record their conversations.

What the timeline can do is change the past, not predict the future.Although, for where they are, they come from the future.

"Okay, it's almost time. Let's go." Hua Xin ended the topic, got up and gave Wen Xu a hand.

Only then was Wen Xu freed from her depressed mood, she glanced at her watch, and was surprised to find that their chatting took so much time.Now, it is already 05:00.

Putting on the hiking bag, Wen Xu followed Hua Xin to the building where Li Shixiang's house was located, carefully went up to the fifth floor, and stood in front of the door on the left.Inside the door, there are Li Shixiang, his wife and their only son, Li Yuexi.

Wen Xu lowered her voice and asked, "What should I do?"

Hua Xin took out an instrument the size of an adult's two hands from the mountaineering bag. The instrument was very heavy, and the display screen turned gray after it was activated.

"This is a heat source sensor." Hua Xin said in a low voice, "It can sense the heat source body, and the penetration coverage is [-] square meters."

Wen Xu's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked at the display screen of the heat source sensor.Under Hua Xin's operation, some black lines appeared on the screen.Hua Xin said: "These lines are the outline of the building. It can be seen that this is the entrance, and this is the living room..."

While talking, Hua Xin suddenly stopped, frowning.

Wen Xu also realized that something was wrong: "Boss, why is there no heat source body?"

Among the heat source sensors with a penetration range of [-] square meters, there is no heat source in Li's apartment, which means that there is no one in the apartment.

Hua Xin reacted very quickly. He glanced at the time and said, "It's [-]:[-], hurry up, the Li family will probably be back soon, we can't see each other."

That's right, there is no one in the house, which means that the Li family members are all outside. Based on the time of death, they may have arrived in the community.

So, the two rushed downstairs and returned to the gap between the snack cart and the building.Before he could stand still, he saw Li Yuexi riding a bicycle to the gate of the building.

Li Yuexi was still that pale and thin young man, he was in a hurry and even ran into the building without locking the car.

Hua Xin said: "You wait here, I'll go over and have a look." After saying that, he took out a roll of tape from his hiking bag.

Wen Xu watched as Hua Xin ran to the side of the bicycle, and used tape to stick something on the front and rear tires respectively.Then continue to check the bicycle belonging to Li Yuexi.

Wen Xu looked around, worried that the Li family couple would see Hua Xin when they came back.He was still holding the heat source sensor in his hand, so he simply lifted it up and moved towards the distance to sense whether there was a heat source body approaching.

Slowly changing the angle of the sensor, suddenly saw a very strange heat source.

At this time, Hua Xin had already run back. Seeing Wen Xu holding the induction device with a strange expression, he also leaned on it.

Wen Xu said: "Boss, this should be a human, right?" Wen Xu handed over the induction device, so that Hua Xin could see more clearly that there was a human-shaped heat source body appearing in a prostrate state.

Hua Xin raised her head and looked into the darkness: "About 50 meters away."

"What is this man doing? Why is he holding his hands up to either side of his face?"

Hua Xin frowned tightly, and soon knew the reason for this person's weird posture: "He's holding a camera in his hand! Damn it, this person is spying on Li Shixiang's family."

"What?" Wen Xu called out in surprise, "Someone is watching... When? Have we been discovered?"

Hua Xin nodded, proving that Wen Xu's guess was correct.This means: things are troublesome.

"Wen Xu, you stay here and don't come out. I'll go and have a look." As she spoke, she stepped out of the snack cart.

"Boss!" Wen Xu wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only watch the boss run out.

It's really fatal, why is there someone monitoring Li Shixiang's house?Wen Xu hurriedly checked the time, it was already 05:11.

Impossible, the murderer killed Li Shixiang and his wife at least 3 minutes, right?At this time, Li Shixiang and his wife should go home, but...

No matter, go up and have a look first.

Wen Xu returned to the building with the heat source sensor, went up to the fifth floor, and stood in front of the door on the left.He used the heat source sensor to sense the heat source inside, and was surprised to find that Li Yuexi was rummaging through the scene of the main case, but Li Shixiang and his wife were still not inside.

what happened?

Time of death can't go wrong, timeline can't go wrong.Which link went wrong?

The time has passed 05:20, which is beyond the death time of Li Shixiang and his wife, but there is still no Li Shixiang and his wife in the room, Wen Xu anxiously wants to knock on the door in front of him and go in to see what happened!

Li Yuexi in the heat source sensor had already started to lift the bed board, and Wen Xu confirmed the previous boss's speculation about it.On the one hand, he was thankful that Li Yuexi was not the murderer, on the other hand, he was anxious because he couldn't see the heat source reaction of the Li family couple.

Could it be that Li Shixiang and his wife were already dead?The body has no body temperature, so the sensor can't detect it?In the next second, he immediately denied his guess.Even if a person dies, the temperature of the body is slowly cooling down, and it is impossible to lose the temperature all at once.According to this speculation, the death time of Li Shixiang and his wife was at least four o'clock.

Impossible, the time axis has laws, the time of going back to the past is exactly one hour before the time of death, so the death time of Li Shixiang and his wife must be 05:15.

light!

Wen Xu thought of the unscrewed light bulb and hurried down the stairs.

Outside the building, he stood under the scene of the main case and looked up to see if there was light in the window. Surprised, he had to take out his mobile phone to contact Hua Xin.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xin quickly answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

Hua Xin's voice was a little out of breath.

Wen Xu said: "Boss, something is wrong here. I saw that it was Li Yuexi who unscrewed the light bulb."

"Get out of there and hide."

"Wait, did you catch that guy?"

"Caught it. More on that later."

Hua Xin hung up the phone hastily, and kicked the man on the ground hard in the face. The man let out a dull cry of pain and curled up into a ball.

Hua Xin squatted down, grabbed the man's hair and forced him to look up, and asked coldly, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

The man's injured eye was opened a slit, and he gritted his teeth tightly, refusing to speak of life or death.Hua Xin hung his camera around his neck and searched again.Unfortunately, the man has nothing on him except a car key.

Hua Xin grabbed the man's neck and asked sharply, "If you don't want to die, hurry up."

The man coughed twice, and said intermittently: "You don't have time."

Hua Xin was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at her watch: 05:41.

In another 4 minutes, he will be brought back to September 9 by the timeline.

Hua Xin was very calm, took out a very ordinary oil pen from his pocket, and put the end of the pen on the man's neck, "Now guess who has no time?"

The man was not afraid of the thing on his neck, and sneered ferociously: "Are you sure I'm the only one here?"

At this moment, Hua Xin's complexion really turned pale, he punched the man unconscious, got up and ran towards the warm direction.

-

Wen Xu was disturbed by the strange phenomenon of the Li family, and did not even follow Hua Xin's order to leave immediately.He stepped back a little distance, stood on the flower bed without any plants, raised the sensor, and pointed it at the window of the main crime scene.

At this time, Hua Xin ran back from a distance, and seeing Wen Xu standing on the flower bed, his heart fell in half.

The time is also at 05:44.

The heat source sensor showed that Li Yuexi had left the scene of the main case, and Wen Xu changed the position of the sensor as he moved.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, and before Wen Xu could turn around to look, Hua Xin yelled, "Wen Xu, get out of the way!"

Change is just a blink of an eye.

At 05:45, Wen Xu also realized that a knife had stabbed him.
