chapter 12
“By the way, can I take a look at the personal information of those ten deceased from last time?”
Chen Shu looked at Han Xue and asked.
Han Xue thought for a moment.
“Sure! Just a moment.”
Han Xue agreed and turned to leave the office.
Soon, Han Xue walked back in and placed a file in front of Chen Shu.
Chen Shu flipped through a few pages, feeling heavier with each one.
He discovered that the ages of the ten victims from the first apartment dismemberment case were exactly the same as those listed on the Patient Medical Record!
In other words, their ages were still from three years ago?
Had something changed about them?
The more Chen Shu thought about it, the less he understood.
Could it be that because his two future selves came to his current timeline, those people in the future had already been killed by his criminal self?
Chen Shu couldn’t help but feel he was sinking deeper and deeper, as if an invisible hand was pushing him toward an abyss.
He felt as though he was trapped in a labyrinth of complexity, with every step possibly leading to a hopeless trap.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. However, the information in those files pierced his heart like sharp blades.
He wanted to escape it all, but there was nowhere to go.
In other words, they had already died three years in the future.
Chen Shu silently speculated in his mind.
If his guess was correct, the “Chen Shu” who was killing people was his future self.
And he had arrived at this time exactly three years ago.
Which meant that three years later, they would have no memory at all!
Back to now, three years ago, they also had none.
Wait… Chen Shu suddenly thought of something.
Chen Shu looked up at Han Xue: “Is Zhang Li still giving her statement?”
“Yes. The victim’s younger sister is right next door.”
Han Xue replied.
At this moment, Chen Shu said something that shocked Han Xue.
It left Han Xue completely baffled.
“What if she’s not Zhang Li, but Zhang Lili, Zhang Li’s older sister!”
After saying this, Chen Shu lowered his head and continued reading the file in his hands.
Han Xue exclaimed in surprise: “What did you say? She’s not Zhang Li! How could that be?”
Chen Shu looked up at the sound: “What’s so strange about that?”
“Even I have three versions of myself appearing in this world. If that can happen, what else is impossible?”
Chen Shu smiled and retorted to Han Xue.
Han Xue was stunned, and after a moment, she slowly shook her head.
She felt that Chen Shu made a lot of sense; after all, this was already beyond her understanding.
“Are you saying that Zhang Lili also has multiple versions of herself?”
“No.”
Chen Shu denied it and continued: “It’s the work of another ‘Chen Shu’… or maybe there’s another reason.”
“Even I know now that the people he killed have lost their time and memory from three years ago. How could he not know?”
“Three years ago, when Zhang Lili came to me, she asked me for an abortion prescription. She told me about it, but I can’t remember clearly.”
“I remember her child was two months along at the time, but now the victim’s fetus appears to be five months?”
What Chen Shu said left Han Xue dumbfounded, and at the same time, it raised many questions in her mind.
“Are you really sure?”
“More than ninety percent certain!”
Chen Shu answered firmly.
“By the way, you can ask Lin Fayi to check who the biological father of the fetus is.”
“I’ll contact Lin Fayi right away!”
Han Xue hurriedly tried to leave the office, just as Lu Fan walked in.
“Xiao Xue, where are you going?”
Lu Fan saw Han Xue hurriedly preparing to leave and asked.
At this moment, Han Xue told Lu Fan about the clues she had just stated, including the Patient Medical Record.
A few minutes later.
Lu Fan looked at Chen Shu with a surprised expression.
Chen Shu smiled, indicating that he wasn’t bragging.
“By the way, can I talk to Zhang Li?” Chen Shu suddenly suggested.
“Mm, come with me.”
Lu Fan wanted to know what Chen Shu was really up to.
Immediately, Chen Shu followed Lu Fan. At the corner of the corridor, he saw a room with a sign reading Rest Area.
Chen Shu followed Lu Fan inside.
He saw Xiao Gao taking notes with a pen.
Chen Shu greeted Zhang Li, who was sitting on a chair, and walked over to sit down.
Chen Shu’s gaze was fixed on Zhang Li’s abdomen, so much so that he couldn’t bear to blink.
Lu Fan looked at Chen Shu’s expression and cursed him as a pervert in his heart.
Zhang Li felt uncomfortable being stared at by this inexplicable person and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you looking at me?”
Chen Shu smiled and pointed at Zhang Li’s abdomen.
“There are no signs of pregnancy, are there?”
Zhang Li’s expression was a bit odd, but she still answered Chen Shu’s question: “I’m not pregnant.”
Then, looking somewhat angry, she questioned Chen Shu, “Why are you so strange? You called me early in the morning, asked if I was pregnant, came to our School to find me, touched my face, and now you’re asking again if I’m pregnant.”
“Are you crazy or just a pervert?”
Xiao Gao, after hearing Zhang Li’s words, cast a contemptuous look at Chen Shu.
Xiao Gao thought, this guy doesn’t seem crazy, but maybe he really is a pervert.
Lu Fan didn’t mock him, but frowned and watched Chen Shu closely.
Because after hearing Han Xue’s earlier statement, if the murderer “Chen Shu” was killing according to the dates in his Patient Medical Record, then Chen Shu’s questions must have some basis!
Hearing Zhang Li’s questioning, Chen Shu’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“I’m not a pervert, nor am I crazy.”
“Stop trying to deny it!”
Zhang Li clearly didn’t believe Chen Shu, and her tone became more intense, her face flushing red.
Seeing Zhang Li so agitated, Chen Shu shrugged and gave a faint smile.
“I’m a doctor. I only save lives.”
As he spoke, Chen Shu reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small knife.
Zhang Li was immediately frightened when she saw the knife Chen Shu took out.
“What are you doing!”
Zhang Li asked sharply.
Her expression was full of fear.
Lu Fan immediately stopped Chen Shu’s action.
“That’s enough, Chen Shu! What are you trying to do?”
“Nothing, I’m just curious if she’s seen this knife before!”
Xiao Gao also shouted at Chen Shu, “Chen Shu, this is the Public Security Bureau, not your hospital ward. Please show some respect!”
Lu Fan remained silent.
Chen Shu put away the knife and stood up: “You two don’t need to be nervous. I just want to verify something!”
“What is it?”
Lu Fan and Xiao Gao asked at the same time.
“This… you’ll have to ask her.”
Chen Shu turned to Zhang Li with a deliberately mysterious look.
At this moment, Zhang Li was full of fear, avoiding Chen Shu’s gaze.
Seeing Zhang Li’s expression, Chen Shu understood what she was hiding deep inside.
“Just as I thought!”
Chen Shu muttered to himself, then looked at Lu Fan and said, “You should ask her first.”
“You! What do you want! Don’t hurt me!”
