They looked at me with their eyes open, they tore at me hard, but I could only swallow my fear, but I could only move forward helplessly.

I, slowly, walked forward, forward...... His eyes were fixed on the scene of the traffic accident, his heart hung in the air, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva from time to time, and a cold sweat broke out behind him.

I saw a gray car being knocked to the ground, and the windshield of the car had been shattered. A large depression had been knocked out to the left of its front, and scattered fragments of it were scattered all around.

It seems that this was not a simple crash, it was clearly deliberate, a deliberate murder. Traffic police and police are maintaining order at the scene.

"What's the situation?" The person who spoke was an older-looking policeman who seemed to have just arrived here.

"Sheriff Zhang, according to people at the scene, there was a traffic accident here at 9:02 today. The driver who was hit was driving in the left lane when he was hit by an oncoming car in the right lane and rolled over. The vehicle involved in the accident left on the spot. Another officer said, holding a notepad in his hand.

"And what about the driver who was hit now?"

"When we arrived, the ambulance was treating the injured and it looked like they were seriously injured and should now be in the hospital."

"Does the driver who caused the accident have any clues?"

"Not yet, due to the suddenness of the accident, the people around did not pay attention to the appearance of the driver, and a member of the public wrote down the license plate, but we have confirmed that the license plate is fake." The officer's face looked a little lost.

"Okay, I already know the general situation, we must increase the scope of finding the driver who caused the accident. Be sure to find him! Although the sheriff spoke in a very calm tone, he could still see his angry expression.

Sure enough, it was a deliberate murder. Judging from the situation of the gray car rolling over, the vehicle involved in the accident was traveling extremely fast. After a while, the trailer was in place and began to prepare to tow the overturned gray car away from the left lane. Traffic signals to wait for vehicles to pass normally.

I watched as cars flew past me. Few people will notice the car parts scattered on the ground anymore, and it is estimated that soon they will forget what happened today.

"Hey, young man, why are you standing here stupidly, aren't you in a hurry?" The driver just now parked the car in front of me, "Get in the car, the road has been restored, I'll take you there faster." ”

However, my mind was still on the traffic accident.

"What's wrong? Stop standing and get in the car. The driver urged me.

I slowly opened the door. But everything was still in my mind. It doesn't just disappear from my vision for a moment, like the scenery outside the car window. The wind was howling and I closed the window.

September 23, 2021 at 16:51 p.m.

The dusk hung like a blood-stained canvas in the distance, and I couldn't breathe just by looking at it.

"Wow, wow......"

The crow stood on the telephone pole, looking me in the eye and calling in my ear like a warning, making me feel a sense of hairiness.

I swallowed and looked at the telephone pole in the distance, and for some reason the sweat on my head suddenly dripped down and fell onto my hands. I clenched my fists and squeezed the sweat in my palms.

"Cheng Yin, Cheng Yin, I call you! Why don't you answer me? Yan Xiaoxue was panting and sweating profusely.

I smiled at her, and she raised her mouth and snorted, accusing me, "You are the one who arrived late tonight, why did you look unhappy all day, what the hell is wrong?"

I frowned. It's true that I've been in a bad mood all day today.

That overturned car stuck in my mind, so real and lingering. I touched my chest, my heart beating fast in it. As if to warn me, none of this is accidental.

"It's okay, maybe I was tired from the test a few days ago, and I didn't have a good rest." I looked at Yan Xiaoxue and said.

"Then let's go back, you look a little haggard indeed." Yan Xiaoxue said and ran a few steps towards the gate of the park. "Hurry up." "But, didn't I tell you that I could see the lights and snow at night?" I looked at Yan Xiaoxue not far away.

"Come back next year for my birthday, let's go." Yan Xiaoxue ran to my side again, took my hand and ran towards the gate of the park together.

September 23, 2021 at 20:23 p.m.

When I got home, I didn't eat anything and just lay down on the bed and held my phone in front of me. I just wanted to get through to Arthur's phone. The mobile phone rang suddenly, "Time has passed for thousands of years, and I have seen you and never forgotten each other---'s vows..."

I, picked up the phone.

"Hey, Char, I'm Arthur. You know what, I just learned about a big thing! ”

"Big deal? What's the big deal? "To be honest, enough big things have happened for me today.

Arthur swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, "I just learned from a colleague that a HKUST professor had been involved in a traffic accident this morning, and just two days ago, another HKUST professor was almost hit by a speeding car. Strange, you say, isn't it strange? How can it be such a coincidence? ”

"yes, it's strange and coincidental."

She continued, "You know, it is said that there are rumors that someone is attacking the HKUST professors and trying to sabotage the scientific research results they are exporting to society. But I don't think so, do you think it's ......?"

"Could it be anything?" I asked.

Arthur paused, then asked softly, "Could it be Professor Z' doing a good deed?" ”

"But what's in it for Professor Z? Isn't this revealing his identity early? ”

"I'm just speculating, and what you're saying is not unreasonable, but I always feel that there is something to do with Professor 'Z'."

"Actually, it's not you, I feel that way."

"So what do we do?" Arthur asked.

"We need to sort out what happened to the HKUST professors recently, and I think we can find the answers we need."

"Hmm"

……

I pressed my phone, and my mind went back to this morning's traffic accident, the gray car that rolled over, and the professor at HKUST, and it seemed that we had to do something. I looked at my watch, and the time pointed to 9:02 in an impartial manner.

The wind outside the window kept rustling the trees.
