Did that person hand the diary to the police?

Alex gets stunned, then he starts to search his bag crazily, and then even searches the whole house in order to find it.

The diary is indeed lost!

How could he keep such an important thing as a diary at home? He always carries it with him anytime and anywhere.

As for why he hasn't just burn it and put an end to it, no matter how he hides it, it might be exposed someday, so burning it directly is supposed to be the best choice.

Alex has thought about this idea, but every time he thought about it, there was a voice in his heart telling him that he must not burn it. Over time, he gradually gave up this idea.

"Fuck!"

Alex throws his bag to the ground. He is indeed panicked. He couldn't help but panic since this diary is related to his life and future. If someone picked it up and handed it over to the police, although he didn't leave fingerprints on it, who knew if the original owner left any or not?

And even if the original owner was as vigilant as him and didn't leave fingerprints, what about the handwriting on it? Alex is already in the sight of the police. If the police really got the diary, what would the consequences be? He doesn't dare to think about it exactly.

If he had known this thing happened, he would not have bothered about the 'inner voice' and would have burned it directly. Alex regrets it very much at this moment.

He takes a deep breath and forces himself to calm down. He picks up the bag and checks it carefully again. There is no sign of damage, so it is impossible that it has fallen somewhere.

Alex carefully recalls that he would check the diary every day, first to see if the diary is lost, and second to see if there is any new content.

Last night, after he was awakened by a nightmare, he checked it again. The time was 3:30 in the morning and the diary was still there at that time. Alex glances at the time. From 3:30 am to 7:10pm now, minus the time he took a shower, it was about thirteen hours.

In these thirteen hours, his diary disappeared.

The first possibility is that the original owner hid the diary secretly. After he fell asleep, the original owner probably took over his body. For some reason, 'he' hid the diary.

Alex first ruled out this possibility, because there was no reason. If the original owner really wanted to hide the diary, 'he' would have had plenty of opportunities instead of doing it now, and he could even make him unaware of the diary.

And there is also another reason, that is, he did not feel tired, he could feel that he was in good condition, which means that he had a good rest last night.

The second situation is that it was taken away by someone. Alex recalls carefully that he has been at work all day, so the person who took away his diary must be a colleague at work.

Zhen!

Alex could only think of him, because the diary was too important to him, and he would not let the bag out of his sight at ordinary times. Only today, because Yang came to find him in order to do an investigation, he did not choose to bring the diary with him, just in case, he was afraid that Yang would ask for a someone search on a whim.

At that time, Zhen was at his workbench, and he had enough time to take it away.

It must be him!

Alex is very regretful at this time, because Zhen is usually very lively, like a child who never grew up, so he is not very wary of him. Unexpectedly, Zhen actually did such a thing, and he specially reminded Zhen not to move around.

Alex pats his head, he knows that it is not all Zhen's fault for what happened, and the greater responsibility is on himself. After dealing with Yang at that time, he was a little inflated, thinking that he had done it perfectly, and he was too proud of himself.

Because he has been living a very depressed life since he crossed over, and he finally had a chance to breathe, so he temporarily relaxed his vigilance.

There is no time to be upset. The most important thing now is to find Zhen and ask about the diary. Alex takes out his phone and is about to call Zhen, but he stops. Since he finds that he is a little impulsive now, and this state is a little inappropriate. He has to calm down firstly.

Since Zhen has already got the diary, and it has been so long, it is likely that he has read it in the day. Since Zhen chose to take it away, he would definitely not fail to read it, so there is no point in being anxious.

And why did Zhen search his bag before? This also made Alex extremely suspicious. A person would not search other people's bags for no reason, unless that person has some psychological quirks. But he has worked with Zhen for so long and has never heard of similar rumors.

If Zhen really had such a psychological quirk, he should have been discovered long ago, unless he was usually very good at disguising himself.

Alex recalls carefully that he met Zhen before going to work and the two had a brief conversation this morning. There was no problem here.

During the meal, he talked to Zhen and the work of Zhen. There was nothing wrong with that either. Such things also existed in his memory and it was not the first time that it happened.

Alex is suddenly stunned and laughs at himself. He thinks that he finds out the reason, but the reason is too ridiculous. It is probably because of the words Alex told him not to move before leaving.

It seemed that this sentence aroused Zhen's "rebellious psychology". The more he was told not to move, the more he wanted to move.

Although this is truly ridiculous and even a little incredible, thinking about Zhen's personality, like a child, it seems that it is really possible.

After figuring out the reason, Alex picks up his phone again and calls Zhen. Not long after the call is connected, Zhen speaks first before Alex could speak. He sounds still the same as usual, without any change.

"Alex, do you have something to talk to me about? You usually don't call me."

Alex narrows his eyes and smiles.

"Nothing, I just want to ask, did someone look for me today? Has anyone entered my office after I left?"

"No, I was the only one."

"Then when did you leave?"

"Let me think about it. After you left, I stayed for a while and saw that you didn't come back, so I left. It was less than five minutes I think and I didn't check the exact time. Alex, what's wrong? Did you lose something?"

Alex narrows his eyes since this would be more troublesome. If what Zhen said is true, then basically every colleague would be suspected, because anyone could have entered his office.

"Did you notice anyone coming into my office after you left?"

"I didn't notice that, Alex, what happened?"

Alex laughs, "No a big deal, I just found someone had moved my specimen and I thought it was probably you."

Zhen makes a joke,

"Alex, you know me, if it was me, the specimen would never be just moved, I would just take the whole thing away."

Alex has a blank expression,

"Well, I heard it, let's leave it at that, it's not that serious anyway, there's no need to tell anyone, otherwise it will make me look petty if everyone knows about it."

"Okay, then Alex, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll hang up, you know I'm perfecting my work."

"No more, hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Alex narrows his eyes, not admitting that this thing is within his expectations, but Zhen's attitude is beyond his expectations.

Either Zhen is telling the truth and he really didn't take it, which is why he is so confident.

Or Zhen is very good at hiding. If it was the second case, things would become truly interesting. Why would a person disguise himself? There must be some hidden reason.

Alex hopes it was the second case, to be honest, because it meant that even if Zhen found out about the diary, he would not choose to tell the police, so Alex would have enough time to retrieve the diary.

But Alex still has to wait until tomorrow, and he has to observe and see what is going on. After all, he is not sure whether Zhen is lying or not.

The next day, Alex comes to work early and searches carefully in his office again, but still couldn't find it, unfortunately. Thus, it seemed that someone had really taken it away before.

This also makes Alex completely give up, but he is not so worried now. He indeed doesn't know who took his diary exactly, but the person didn't hand it over to the police after reading it.

After all, Alex truly knows his situation and he has registered with the police. If the police really got the diary, they would definitely compare it with his handwriting. In that case, he should have been taken away by the police long ago. How could he be like this in the office right now?

Alex doesn't know why that person didn't choose to hand the diary to the police, but at least it was a good sign for him.

Not long after, his colleagues come one after another. Then Alex smiles friendly and greets to everyone. He is observing them secretly and carefully. if someone got his diary, they would definitely make associations based on the content of the diary and associate him with the cruel murderer.

In this way, the person would definitely behave unnaturally when facing him.

Let he see, who is this person exactly?
