Why did the father torture the original owner??

Alex is helpless,

"Why are you dragging me down again? It's really boring, officer. Well, forget it, if you want to check it, then check it, if you really don't want to, then forget it, it's none of my business anyway."

Alex waves his hand and signals Mr Lian and Sofia to follow.

In the car, Alex takes out 1500 euros and hands it to Mr Lian.

"Take the money. I'm leaving and I've had enough of Hua City. I probably won't come here again, and I really hope so."

Mr Lian nods. He knows what Alex means. If Alex come here again, it must be because of him. He also doesn't want Alex to come here again and he plans to move when he returns safely.

Alex doesn't know Mr Lian's plan to move. Of course, even if he knows, he doesn't care at all. Even if Max moves to a place where Alex couldn't find him, what would happen? Would he change his confession? What good would it do him? There is no benefit except to cause trouble for himself. Alex is sure that Mr Lian as a reasonable man wouldn't do it.

After sending Mr Lian home safely, Alex looks at Sofia and asks,

"Are you sure that you really want to go with me?"

Sofia nods affirmatively.

"Okay, say goodbye to your family before you leave."

She shakes her head, "No need, since my family is not here."

Alex doesn't ask any more questions and books a flight back to Beijing City.

…

After Alex left, Max keeps thinking about what Alex said, which makes him very concerned. He feels that Alex's motive for saying this is very contradictory.

Max takes out his mobile phone and calls Chen, asking him to investigate Tom carefully.

Yang still hasn't recovered yet and complains,

"The person is dead and it's useless to find out anything now. Besides, I don't think this can implicate Alex. If he could be implicated, he wouldn't tell us."

Max knows that he is unwilling to do so, and doesn't blame him, because this is indeed a very frustrating thing for a young police officer. He pats Yang on the shoulder and says patiently,

"We must investigate first. I believe that even if Alex doesn't say anything, Chen will definitely investigate as more as possible. Have you forgotten our previous guess?

We guessed that Alex came to Hua City to hire a killer to kill someone. Although the matter was not as we guessed that he hired a killer to kill someone, it was a fact that Tom was dead, which still showed that our previous guess was kind of correct.

Tom must have known something that made Alex go through so much trouble to kill him, so we can't not investigate Tom. "

Yang's eyes lit up when he hears this. Yes, why didn't he think of it?

Seeing Yang's expression, Max smiles,

"You are hit too hard and your heart is not firm enough. Look at Alice, she doesn't look as sad and depressed as you at all."

Alice has been waiting for nearly four years. In these four years, she has gone from the surprise of getting clues to the disappointment of no effect. What's more, she has experienced this countless times. How could she be frustrated because of this setback?

She thinks for a while and says, "Now Alex's goal has been achieved, so I think that there is no need for him to stay in Hua City anymore. It's time for us to go back as well."

Max nods.

…

The plane lands, Alex breathes the air of Beijing City. He has only left here for a few days but he begins to miss this city. He really doesn't like Hua City because the weather is too hot and humid, and he doesn't like the chaos there either. Anyway, Beijing City is better.

When Alex leaves the airport, he sees his father and gets a little surprised. He has indeed told his father that he would return to Beijing City today, but he doesn't expect his father to come to pick him up because their relationship is extremely awkward now.

His father walks up and points at Sofia without any politeness and asks directly, "Is this the person that you were talking about?"

Alex nods slowly.

This is much more normal. It turns out that his father comes mainly because of Sofia. He said that, how could it be because of him?

The three of them get in the car. His father and Sofia chat together happily, while Alex sits far away from them silently. No one could tell that Alex is his son.

After returning home, them have a meal together under the warm hospitality of his mother. Animal World is still playing on TV, and Alex eats and watches it while his parents are circling around Sofia.

Alex gets his mother's meaning that she is willing to match them up. Alex does not refute it directly, since one or two sentences could not explain it clearly right now. Anyway, he would find his mother to explain the reason alone later.

After dinner, Alex sits for a while and then plans to leave. His father suddenly asks Sofia to stay, and his mother is very happy to hear this and also asks Alex to stay with her, but Alex refuses since he really feels very uncomfortable to spend time with his father.

His mother pulls him aside and complains in a low voice,

"You let a girl stay here alone, and you go back by yourself. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Alex sighs and takes this opportunity to explain to his mother that Sofia comes here just to see a doctor, and then his mother gives up helpless.

Back to his Apartment, there is no change here in a few days. It is still the same as before and everyone is in a hurry.

Lying on the bed, thinking of the fact that Tom was dead, Alex could finally feel at ease, and soon he falls asleep deeply.

"Ah!!!"

Alex suddenly wakes up, and then he sits up directly, sweating all over. Unbelievable, he had a nightmare, which is so strange, because he hadn't had a nightmare for a long time and even he just eliminated a big trouble.

Alex carefully recalls the content of the dream, the more he tries to recall, the less he could remember, he only remembers that there was a figure in the dream that kept asking him to run fast. Terribly, he couldn't see the figure clearly, and didn't know why that figure asked him to run as fast as he could, but the fear rising from the bottom of his heart was too real.

He goes to the bathroom and looks at himself in the mirror, and there is still fear of the dream existing in his eyes. He suspects that the reason he had this nightmare is because the original owner wants to seize control of this body.

That is to say, if he hadn't woken up just now, the original owner would still go out to kill people tonight? This is too scary.

Alex washes his face with cold water to calm himself down.

Did the original owner fail to fight for control because he successfully escaped?

If he didn't escape at that time, would it mean that the original owner would take over this body?

But there is something that puzzles him, that is, why did he run away?

Alex doesn't think he ran away because he is afraid of the original owner. He indeed feels that he is not afraid of the original owner and he really wants to communicate with the original owner from the bottom of his heart. If they really met in a dream, he shouldn't run away without saying anything.

And why did he have a nightmare this time? But not last time?

He shakes his head. This kind of thing is too mysterious and he couldn't figure it out clearly. He just hopes that he could control himself and not run away again if next time he has a similar dream.

The next day, Alex doesn't get up until noon. The nightmare last night made him sleepless all night, and he finally felt sleepy at dawn.

After a simple wash, Alex plans to go back and talk to his father again. Since his mother was at home last night, and some things were not easy to ask in person. It is also a good opportunity to ask how Sofia is.

When Alex arrives home, he finds that no one is there. He calls his mother and learns from the phone that his mother is staying in the beauty salon right now, and his father took Sofia out early in the morning. However, his mother doesn't know what they do and where they go at this moment. Alex guesses that they are in the hospital but he doesn't have any intention to go there to find them. In case Sofia is being treated, he would not disturb them.

But since he is here, he couldn't just go back directly and he begins to take a look around. In fact, Alex hasn't seen this house properly since he had a time travel, and he also wants to try to wake up some memories again so that he could understand the original owner better.

After a simple turn, a little memory really emerges in his mind. It is a utility room, but he doesn't know more specifics.

With this discovery, he begins to look for this room according to his memory, but he does not find it after going through the whole house. However, the utility room in his memory was indeed in this house. 

"What the hell is going on? So weird."

He could not help wondering, and then takes out his mobile phone again to call his mother and asks curiously,

"Mom, I remember there was a utility room in our house, why is it gone now? Has it been changed?"

"It has been changed a long time ago and the room where I put my shoes now is it. Why? Why are you asking this?"

Hearing his mother's words, Alex frowns. He has just been to that room and did not find anything unusual. He continues to ask cautiously,

"What about the things in the utility room?"
