Cold!
Wei Shuxuan groggily opened her eyes and found herself in a cave. On this cold night, the biting chill made her shiver all over.
But wasn't she already dead?
As an outstanding criminal police officer, Wei Shuxuan was retaliated against by a criminal. A time - bomb was placed in her car, blowing her to pieces.
Now... what was going on?
"You're injured." Suddenly, a deep male voice came.
Wei Shuxuan vaguely saw a white figure, tall and straight.
"Where is this?" Wei Shuxuan struggled to speak, wondering who this person was.
"Near Liuyun Town." He spoke, paused for a moment, and then lit the firewood.
Wei Shuxuan finally got a clear look at the man's appearance. He had well - defined features, a straight nose, and a pair of sword - shaped eyebrows.
However, why was his dressing so strange? And he had long hair!
Looking down at herself, she found that the clothes she was wearing were not her own. She was in a pair of black tight - fitting clothes, and her back had been hacked terribly.
She had time - traveled!
Later, she learned that she had time - traveled to a fictional dynasty. She was no longer herself but someone else. She didn't know who the original owner of this body was. The man said that her injuries were caused by swords, so she guessed that the original owner must have had some enemies.
She carefully examined her body. There were calluses on her tiger's mouth, indicating that she was a martial artist. This made Wei Shuxuan a bit relieved. At least she had the ability to defend herself.
Wei Shuxuan looked at the man. "You saved me?"
The man paused for a while, then suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Wei Shuxuan's shoulder. Wei Shuxuan immediately felt a warm current gradually flowing through her whole body.
Was this the inner strength mentioned in martial - arts dramas?
Wei Shuxuan's three - views were shattered and then reorganized. She stared at the man beside her with wide eyes and secretly pinched herself. However, she touched the wound and gasped in pain. It wasn't a dream.
"Don't move around." The man said in a deep voice.
Wei Shuxuan, who never believed in supernatural things, for the first time began to doubt her own cognition.
However, due to excessive blood loss and serious injuries, she didn't have much time to think about this incredible fact. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn. It was still icy and snowy outside. Her body had recovered a lot. The man was gone, but there was a money bag beside her. It must have been left by the man.
According to the man, there was a nearby town called Liuyun Town. Wei Shuxuan decided to go there to see if she could find a way to make a living.
On the way, she tied up her hair, dirtied her face by the water, and made it completely impossible to tell if she was male or female before continuing on her journey.
Finally, she entered the town at dusk. The food she had eaten in the morning had been digested, and she was so hungry that she was seeing stars. Wei Shuxuan decided to find a place to eat first and then think about making a living.
Following the crowd, she soon saw a restaurant. Judging from the decoration, it should be the best in the town. She wondered how much it would cost to have a meal here.
Wei Shuxuan looked up at the rather imposing plaque of the restaurant. She noticed a snowman on one side of the restaurant. She didn't know who had built it, but...
Wei Shuxuan felt that the snowman's eyes looked a bit strange. She frowned, took a few steps forward, bent down to examine the eyes, and then reached out to touch them. Unexpectedly, the snowman's head rolled down with a rumble. The snowball shattered as soon as it hit the ground, revealing a black mass inside.
Wei Shuxuan quickly recognized that it was a human head.
Damn it! Could she be this unlucky?
Wei Shuxuan frowned tightly. She quickly shattered the snowman's body and saw the human limbs inside.
She sighed helplessly. She never thought that even after time - traveling, she still couldn't change her bad luck of attracting cases.
This horrible scene quickly attracted passers - by. Most of them were shocked and immediately stayed three meters away from Wei Shuxuan, looking at her in horror with a hint of fear.
Wei Shuxuan spread her hands and looked at the crowd. "It has nothing to do with me..."
"Mur... murder!!!" A passer - by shouted in panic.
Wei Shuxuan rubbed her forehead.
Soon, the government constables arrived at the scene. Wei Shuxuan was taken to the yamen and became a suspect for the first time.
She was forced to kneel on the ground by the constables. Less than three meters away from her, the limbs and the head dug out from the snowman were placed, looking terribly cruel.
"Speak! Who are you? Did you kill this person?" The county magistrate sat on the upper seat, wearing an official robe, looking very imposing.
Wei Shuxuan wanted to tell him that they had the same surname, but she was afraid that she would be regarded as a lunatic.
She originally wanted to tell her real name, but since she wasn't sure if this body was also named Wei Shuxuan and considering the possible enmities related to this body, she thought it would be safer to use another name.
What if this body, just like in time - travel novels, had the same name as hers and was unfortunately a heinous fugitive?
Thinking like this, Wei Shuxuan quickly racked her brains and then said the name of a modern colleague of hers. "Your humble subject is Wei Luo. I just arrived in Liuyun Town today. I didn't kill this person, and I didn't have the time to commit the crime. I entered the city only an hour ago. Your Honor can ask the city gate guards. Maybe they still have an impression of me."
The man looked at her suspiciously. "But in my opinion, you don't look like a good person! Why did you go to look at that snowman for no reason?"
Wei Shuxuan twitched the corner of her mouth. Generally, those who said such things were not good officials. Why did she touch the snowman? Maybe it was just out of curiosity.
"Your humble subject just thought that the snowman seemed a bit off. I didn't expect there to be a corpse hidden inside." Wei Shuxuan was a bit too lazy to answer him. She wondered how this person had managed to become a county magistrate.
"Why did only you notice something was wrong? This case must be related to you!"
Wei Shuxuan frowned and interrupted him. "Your Honor! Your humble subject suspects that there is more than one victim. I advise Your Honor to find someone to conduct an autopsy first and figure out the identities of the victims."
She didn't want to get herself into a prison disaster for no reason, but it seemed that this petty official didn't intend to investigate the case properly.
"What did you say? More than one?!" The county magistrate's face changed.
