"I'm warning you, don't tell anyone about feeding me chocolate after you go out, otherwise... hum -"
"What do you want? Isn't it true that the dignified police captain wants to detain me?" Zhang Ke replied with a smile.
"That's not it - don't forget that you are still suspected of murder. Although Deputy Captain Zheng said after the on-site investigation that you were wrongly accused and lifted the arrest warrant against you, there are still many people left at the scene who are related to you.
Relevant biological traces indicate that you had a close relationship with Xu Xiaoli during her lifetime. After we get out of here, you must return to the police station with me and cooperate with me in investigating the situation," Ye Suling said.
"Xu Xiaoli——" Hearing this name, Zhang Ke thought of the body lying in a pool of blood again. After so many reincarnations, he had gradually changed from the original fear and panic to a habit, and even some
It's so commonplace that it doesn't matter.
But that's not because he really doesn't care about this matter anymore, or because he is so thick-skinned and bold that he is not afraid of boiling water, but because this is a problem that cannot be solved temporarily or for a long time, and does not need to be faced directly immediately.
, temporarily forgotten.
Because for him, he has no future, only these short, repetitive, and eternal reincarnation 24 hours. What kind of past he has lost in the past, and what kind of future he will face in the future, are all for him.
An extremely luxurious and meaningless worry.
It is precisely because of this that what Ye Suling mentioned about Xu Xiaoli reminded Zhang Ke of the situation where he was trapped in this day and could not escape, and he couldn't help but sigh with sadness.
"I said, are you really the murderer of her?" Ye Suling saw Zhang Ke, who was just teasing her and laughing, suddenly became melancholy and lost, and couldn't help asking nervously:
"The deputy captain rarely makes mistakes in his investigations, and I hope I can trust you - but if you really killed the person, you must bear the legal responsibility. As a police officer, I can never let any guilty person go.
.”
After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something again, and her tone became slightly softer: "But as a friend, I can help you face it together. I believe you are not the kind of lunatic who kills people for no reason, nor
Villains who kill people for profit and lust, but for whatever reason, at least tell me the truth."
"Actually..." Hearing Ye Suling's almost sincere words, Zhang Ke suddenly felt slightly touched in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "I can tell you the truth, but I'm afraid you won't believe it."
"I can." Ye Suling said seriously but looking into Zhang Ke's eyes, "No matter how bizarre it is, as long as you mean what you say, I will definitely be able to tell."
"If I say that on the night Xu Xiaoli died, I woke up next to her body, but I couldn't remember what happened at all, and I even forgot all about my specific relationship with her -
I really don’t remember, it’s not an excuse or a deliberate concealment, do you believe it?”
Zhang Ke looked at the subtle expression on Ye Suling's face and couldn't help but shook his head - yes, she couldn't believe it, or no one with a normal mind would believe it. After all, it sounded too outrageous.
It seems like a very lame excuse.
What's more, I have said this to her many times. I have also confirmed that the only answer of "the other party will not believe it" was countless reincarnations ago.
I'm afraid it was tonight's life-and-death adventure, coupled with the subtle and strange atmosphere before, that made me have such unrealistic delusions for a moment, right? But it doesn't matter anyway. After leaving here, Ye Suling
You will forget everything.
"To be honest, as a police officer who must restore the truth and punish crimes, I absolutely cannot accept your words." After a moment, Ye Suling said in a deep voice.
——As expected, she is still herself, even if she has shown some unknown cute side, but her sense of responsibility, her values ​​and sense of responsibility do not allow her to agree with this ambiguous rejection.
"I understand, and I understand it very much." Zhang Ke nodded and said, "If I were not trapped in this place, I would completely accept it even if you immediately issued another arrest warrant and took me to the police station."
"But..." Ye Suling's eyes suddenly moved away from Zhang Ke, and instead looked towards the endless darkness in the distance:
"I trust you."
"What?" Zhang Ke sat up slightly in surprise. Although his legs were still paralyzed and his consciousness was still very slow, the shock he felt when hearing this answer made him sit up straight subconsciously.
.
"Even if it is difficult to accept it intellectually, I am willing to believe that you will not deliberately lie to me in order to escape guilt or cover up the facts - I believe that you have indeed lost your memory. Perhaps you and Xu Xiaoli had a fight and were knocked unconscious, which temporarily caused
Amnesia, maybe you accidentally consumed some poisonous medicine or food before that, or even the real murderer of Xu Xiaoli knocked you unconscious by the way." Ye Suling said:
"There are many possible causes of amnesia. As long as you get out of here, I will ask a doctor to slowly help you recover."
"...But, are you making up these reasons forcibly? It's just because I said I had amnesia, and you imagined so many possibilities to help me explain." Zhang Ke was inexplicably touched in his heart, but his words
He still said uncontrollably:
"You are a police officer, and it is your duty to present evidence and find out the truth. Why did you suddenly become as random as a novelist?"
Ye Suling did not answer his question directly. Instead, she changed the topic and asked: "Zhang Ke, tell me, are you willing to face the truth? Are you willing to recall those lost memories one day? Even if the truth about killing Xu Xiaoli is finally discovered.
Fierce, is it really you?"
"I……"
This time, it was Zhang Ke's turn to ponder for a long time.
Ye Suling's question is very sharp, but also very consistent. This is a question that Zhang Ke has always tried to avoid, or that he will not think about it at all.
Of course, he was very eager to retrieve his lost memories and wanted to know what kind of person he was in the past, what kind of experiences he had, and why he was dragged into this weird reincarnation.
However, if he finally found out in his memory that he was really the butcher who killed Xu Xiaoli, how would he face himself with his hands stained with blood? Zhang Ke had never thought about this problem, nor did he dare to think about it.
"If you can, please muster the courage to face the truth." Without waiting for Zhang Ke's answer, Ye Suling said, "If you feel that you are not brave enough, let me share the burden with you. As a friend, I
