Time seemed to stop on this day.

I kept repeating the events from last night to now, stopping Jiang Yi from killing, lending money to Wang Mengyao, getting information from her, then receiving news of Zhou Sicheng's death, falling asleep, and waking up again.

Again and again, I couldn't get more useful information.

The only thing I could be sure of was that Jiang Yi was lying. He clearly had a fight with Zhou Sicheng, but he told me they had no conflicts at all.

I started to organize the timeline. Every time I received the news of Zhou Sicheng's death, I would return to the night of overtime work and go through the same events again.

I also tried not answering Wang Mengyao's calls and not looking at any news about Zhou Sicheng.

But it was useless. At 9:50 PM, I would still return to the night before.

Do I have to prevent Zhou Sicheng's death to escape this loop?

The thought made me feel sick.

Zhou Sicheng wasn't a good person; he was old and still liked to harass young girls on the street. Now I had to find a way to save him.

After a long mental struggle, I opened the door for Wang Mengyao.

In the brief moment she left, I took out those few photos again.

Suddenly, I realized something.

The photos were taken around 8 PM on the night of overtime, while Zhou Sicheng's time of death was around 10 PM.

By 10 PM, I had already changed the course of events. Jiang Yi and I were at home at that time.

Previously, I had assumed that Jiang Yi killed Zhou Sicheng and didn't think about anyone else. Could there actually be another killer in this timeline?

I carefully reviewed the news, which mentioned the place where the body was found was the parking lot.

That means Zhou Sicheng went to the parking lot after meeting me that night and was killed there.

This is an old residential area with few residents. Many surveillance cameras are broken. No one knows what happened in the parking lot.

I must go see it for myself.
