Jiangshui City, a law firm.
A young man in a black suit fiddled with the office pen in his hand out of boredom.
His face was full of worries, but he was holding back something he couldn't express.
"I can actually understand things like time travel, but why is my identity a high-intelligence profession like a detective? And there are no plug-ins, and what time is it, who else in the country would hire a detective to work... It's better to call the police, it's serious.
I'm afraid the original owner of this body is also a dabbler, otherwise he wouldn't have failed the police exam and become a detective..."
His name is Bai Shao, and he was originally an aspiring young man who had just graduated from Second College.
But when he went out on the street like a traditional time traveler, he was inexplicably rear-ended by a dump truck and died.
"Forget it, there must be a road to the mountain. I definitely won't be able to stay in this law firm anyway, but why does a law firm that follows legal procedures for litigation have a detective industry?"
Bai Shao complained that he had not completely inherited all the memories of the original owner.
Most of the memories are extremely incomplete, only some general basic knowledge is still retained.
For example, the current Bai Shao is obviously an orphan like most novel protagonists.
And the name of the original owner is the same as my original name, but there is no childhood sweetheart or sister who is not her biological sister.
There is only one biological two-legged gold-eating beast in the family.
At this time, Bai Shao felt that there were too many flaws and he didn't know where to start.
At this moment, the desk phone next to Bai Shao suddenly rang.
Bai Shao raised the phone to his ear and asked.
"Hello, this is a law firm. How can I help you?"
Bai Shao said in a normal customer service tone.
But there was a buzzing sound from the other side of the phone, and a sound that seemed like something was moving.
"I think you will come in the evening. I am waiting for you at the bottom of Jiangcheng Bridge Cave now, and I have prepared a lot of money."
Bai Shao was stunned for a moment, frowned, and seemed to have thought of something before answering:
"...Okay, I'll come."
The strange and jarring sound continued from the other side.
"Okay then, thank you."
"You must come, or I will come to see you tonight~"
The other party was very polite and hung up the phone after saying hello, but Bai Shao couldn't calm down in his heart.
"Did you find me? Sure enough, although I said nothing and had strange powers and confusion...but..."
In the past few days after Bai Shao traveled through time, he basically paid attention to the news of this world every day. After all, he still had to understand the overall worldview structure of this world.
But in fact, apart from ancient history, there are even many names of people in other modern history that directly collide. At most, the names of some events have been changed, but others are exactly the same as before.
But these days there are often some bizarre cases broadcast in the news, but they are always covered up by the authorities with some scientific excuses.
But it is also obvious that it is not completely convincing.
The sound the other party made just now was really weird. It wasn't like mechanical synthesis, it was just the sound of some unspecified object squirming or something touching and colliding.
The other party's tone didn't sound like it was a prank.
Although if it is really a prank, the other party will never let you see it.
But regarding this uncanny valley effect that is basically common to all humans, except for lunatics such as mental illness, normal people will be afraid of this weird and unknown intelligent life form.
The same is true for Bai Shao, but he knows that if he didn't say so just now.
Probably what the so-called strange voice on the other end of the phone would do in the morning.
"Tsk, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. At first, I thought it would be great if I could encounter some supernatural phenomena. At least it would seem that the world I live in is not that ordinary.
Now that I have met him, I am scared, this is what people are like..."
"Forget it, I've died once anyway, so I'm not afraid of it happening again. I'll go and have a meeting tonight..."
After all, the other party's last words showed that he would not let him go.
"Actually, I hope it's a prank..."
At this time, the phone next to Bai Shao suddenly rang again.
At this time, Bai Shao couldn't help but became vigilant but still answered the phone. After all, it was impossible for the other party to attack him on the phone, right? Is it difficult to crawl out of the phone?
"Hello."
"Old Bai! I found a list for you. Someone disappeared under the Jiangcheng Bridge, but the police spent a long time at the crime scene but couldn't come up with any results.
Then the victim's family came to invite the detective. You finally got the order. You must come and try it. I will send you the address in a while. You can come and take a look. I have completed all the document procedures and so on. You rest assured. "
There was a male voice on the opposite side. His voice sounded very calm, and he seemed to be a middle-aged man.
Bai Shao was silent, everything seemed to be pulled by fate.
Now he has to go if he doesn't want to go.
"Okay, I know, I'll be here in a minute."
Bai Shao hung up the phone and looked out the window at the setting sun.
I couldn't help but start to feel nervous.
"Namo Amitabha, the God of Infinite Blessings, the Immovable King, the Supreme God who saves suffering, oh my God! I have done many good deeds in my life and am willing to be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones! Please protect me, Amen!"
Of course, this is just Bai Shao's own joke.
Bai Shao put on a black windbreaker. It was nothing, just to add some temperament.
Coupled with the sharpness in his own brows, it gives people a formidable feeling.
"Old Lu, you really gave me a fatal order..."
Bai Shao came downstairs and rode his old red and black motorcycle.
Follow the map and drive straight to the bottom of Jiangcheng Bridge.
Jiangshui City is a second-tier city with quite a few visitors.
Today, Jiangcheng Bridge is empty and strange.
"The sinister wind...Zi Buyu's strange power confuses the gods, Zi Buyu's strange power confuses the gods."
Bai Shao comforted himself while looking for things like police cars, but they were still empty.
It seemed like he was the only one left in the whole world.
"What's going on? It's really weird..."
Bai Shao thought of a terrible possibility.
Then he looked at the shore below from under the railing of the bridge. When he looked down, he was stunned.
Countless rotting corpses were placed on the river bank, some were fresh, and some seemed to have been dead for a long time. The flesh had rotted to the point of being invisible, revealing the white bones inside.
Many of the corpses that had not completely decomposed were wearing light blue police uniforms.
