Chapter 2: A Couple’s Quarrel and Murder (2) Psychic Dictionary…

Ma Shi Tu was driving, Yuan Xiaohu was already sitting in the passenger seat, so Sang Luo sat in the back seat. On the way, Ma Shi Tu explained the case while driving:

"The case I just received was around 8:30 p.m., a couple was arguing on Jixiang Street, and they turned violent. The man picked up a fruit knife from a fruit stand and tried to stab the woman, but the knife was snatched away by the woman. During the struggle, the woman stabbed the man in the chest with the knife, killing him instantly. There were several people watching at the scene, and someone called the police right away."

"After the man died, the woman was obviously frightened. She stumbled away with a fruit knife in her hand. Because she had a knife in her hand, no one dared to stop her. However, some people followed her and saw her walk into the grain and oil family building a few hundred meters away. She never came out and is still hiding inside."

"Our colleagues have gone to Jixiang Street to confirm that the man is dead," Ma Shi Tu added, "so our mission this time is to go to the grain and oil family building to arrest the murderer. Her name is still unknown. According to witnesses, the woman has long hair, about to the waist, and wears a light blue sweater on the upper body and black pants on the lower body."

At this point, Ma Shi Tu emphasized: "Xiao Hu, after entering the family building, you must cooperate with my actions. Sang Luo, this is your first day at work and you are not equipped with a gun yet. Don't act rashly. Follow my instructions in everything."

Sang Luo agreed immediately. She looked towards the waists of the two men and found that they both had guns on their waists. She couldn't help swallowing. This was the first time she saw a real gun. It was so exciting!

Arriving downstairs of the grain and oil family building, Ma Shi Tu stopped the car and the three of them got out. The enthusiastic citizen who called the police was still guarding the door of the unit. When he saw the police coming, he excitedly shook Ma Shi Tu's hand and said excitedly:

"Officer, she's inside the building! I've been guarding here from the beginning until now, and I haven't left for a moment. I assure you, she's inside the building!"

Ma Shi Tu expressed his gratitude to him, then evacuated the onlookers at the scene, drew his gun, and walked into the building with Sang Luo and Yuan Xiaohu.

As several people entered, the lights in the corridor lit up. There were bright bloodstains on the stairs, one drop, two drops... As the stairs meandered up, seeing these bloodstains, Ma Shi Tu once again reminded the two people behind him to always be vigilant.

Sang Luo followed her master's instructions all the way. She completely hid behind Ma Shi Tu, highly concentrating and paying attention to details in the corridor, fearing that the suspect would pop out from any corner.

Several people followed the bloodstains all the way to the third floor, where there were rooms 301 and 302. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, the suspect had obviously entered room 301. So Ma Shi Tu knocked hard on the door of room 301 and stated his identity. At the same time, two people pointed their guns at the door to prevent the suspect from coming out to attack the police.

"Open the door, we are the police!"

"Open the door, if you don't open it, we will break in!"

Half a minute later, Ma Shi Tu knocked on the door again and gave a warning. This time, still no one responded. Seeing this, Ma Shi Tu stopped knocking on the door and waved for Yuan Xiaohu to come up. Yuan Xiaohu took out the tools he carried with him, directly broke the door lock with force, and successfully opened the door.

The moment they opened the door, the scene inside shocked them. They saw a woman hanging under the electric fan in the living room. Her face was blue and purple, and she was obviously dead. She had long hair and was wearing a light blue sweater and black pants. Her clothes were covered in blood, and there was blood on her hands as well. Everything indicated that she was the murder suspect.

There was a bloody fruit knife on the ground and a kicked-over stool. It seemed that the woman had hanged herself with the stool.

Yuan Xiaohu heaved a sigh of relief: "Huh, it seems that she has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, Master, we can close the case!"

Ma Shi Tu did not answer. He checked the room carefully and made sure that there was no one else hiding in the house. Then he called the technical department and asked them to come to the scene to collect evidence.

After the technical department arrived, Ma Shi Tu and others drove away. Sang Luo sat in the back seat and asked carefully, "Master, did she really commit suicide out of fear of punishment?"

Ma Shi Tu said calmly: "It seems to be the case at the moment. What do you think?"

"I… no, I didn't."

The moment she saw the scene in the living room, Sang Luo felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

Ma Shi Tu drove the car back to the downstairs of the Public Security Bureau. Sang Luo said goodbye to them and walked back home. Along the way, she kept thinking about the scene she saw today. What was so strange about it?

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she got home. Sang Luo hadn't eaten dinner yet, but she didn't feel hungry at all. In order to maintain her strength, she quickly made herself a bowl of noodles with only chopped green onions and salt. It tasted quite good.

After eating, Sang Luo began to think about her future life. Although she had only been in this world for one day, she had already adapted to the life here. In the original world, Sang Luo's parents favored boys over girls and forced her to work quickly and become a brother-in-law. Sang Luo had a very bad relationship with her family, so it was a good thing for her to be able to break away from such an original family. She decided not to go back, but to stay here, be a criminal police officer, and realize her own life value.

In addition to her own memories, her mind also carries the memories of the original owner of this body. The original owner's family originally lived in the village. They were honest farmers. Her parents gave birth to a pair of twin girls, namely the original owner and her sister Sang Ruo. The family lived in harmony, but when the two children were seven years old, the sister disappeared, suspected of being abducted by human traffickers, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.

After searching everywhere, the parents still couldn't find their sister. Later, when the country was expropriating land, they had some money and simply bought a small house in the county town. The parents also started working in the city.

Although they have left their original environment, the family has been shrouded in the shadow of the sister's disappearance. The parents always talk about the sister's disappearance, and then the two blame each other, quarrel constantly, and finally even fight.

When Sang Luo was fifteen years old, her parents' relationship completely broke down. They divorced and later got married and formed new families. No one took care of Sang Luo. In order to make up for their apology to her, her parents left the small house in the county town to Sang Luo. From then on, they moved away and completely disappeared from Sang Luo's life.

The original owner might be very sad about this past event, but Sang Luo didn't think so. After all, she traveled through time and space and had no feelings for this pair of parents. Moreover, her thinking was more modern. From her perspective, she now had a house with no mortgage, lived close to her workplace, and no one cared about her. It was simply too good to be true!

After recalling the past, Sang Luo stood up and looked around the house. Although the house was not large, it was decorated very warmly. It was a pity that the original owner had been away at college and no one had lived in the house for a long time, so it was covered with dust. As long as it could be cleaned a little, it would be very good.

Sang Luo started cleaning the house right away, regardless of the fact that it was late at night. She first wiped all the furniture with a rag, then swept and mopped the floor, and finally changed herself into clean bed sheets before she lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

While cleaning the room, Sang Luo sorted out some old things that were piled up. These things were no longer needed, so they might as well be sold for money. Among them was an old edition of a red-covered dictionary. Sang Luo thought it looked familiar, so he put it on the desk.

Sang Luo had just been lying down for a few minutes when the room suddenly became dark and the bedroom light turned off automatically. Sang Luo thought there was a power outage and planned to get up to see what was going on. Just as she stood up, the dictionary on the table opened automatically.

The window was closed, the curtains didn't move, there was no wind in the room, but the red-covered dictionary was turning pages automatically. Sang Luo walked forward in disbelief and watched the scene. The dictionary turned pages and finally stopped at a certain page. A certain word on that page was particularly dazzling -

【injustice】

injustice?

Sang Luo was confused. Before she could react, the dictionary was closed, the lights in the room came on, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Sang Luo rubbed her temples, not sure if the scene just now was an illusion caused by her being too tired. However, since she had encountered such a thing as time travel, it was not impossible for her to encounter even more bizarre things.

There was an alarm clock on the desk. Sang Luo glanced at the time and found that it was exactly twelve o'clock midnight.

Twelve o'clock. Sang Luo vaguely remembered a legend she had heard before. It was said that twelve o'clock at midnight was the time when the Yin and Yang worlds connected. Combined with the word she had just seen, a strange feeling surged in Sang Luo's heart.

Could it be that the ghost of the deceased was telling her that there was another injustice behind this case?
