First second.
Song Yang recognized the woman in the wedding dress standing in front of him.
He saw her eyes.
They were scarlet, as if not human eyes.
And the professor’s face also began to show terror.
Second second.
The professor wanted to shout, but only managed to utter the word “you” before the woman in the wedding dress grabbed his neck, preventing him from making any sound.
Song Yang felt as if he was there, as if he was also being choked, a feeling of suffocation rushed towards him, and death was imminent.
But he strangely felt that the fingers of the woman in the wedding dress were slender and cold, and at the same time, her fingernails scratched his neck, raising goosebumps.

Third second.
The professor couldn’t breathe, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out completely.
Fourth second.
The professor suddenly opened his eyes, and Song Yang’s vision returned again.
The murderer, wearing a Spirit Medium Mask and a Mamian Skirt, sat sideways under him, while a broadsword was cutting the professor’s neck.
Fifth second.
He knew how he had woken up, he had been woken up by the pain, and this pain was also transmitted to Song Yang’s mind. The intense pain stimulated his cerebellum.
The professor began to struggle.
The murderer violently stabbed the cutting broadsword into his chest.
Pain, pain, pain—
Song Yang almost fainted.
Sixth second.
The professor stopped struggling, approaching death. On the verge of death, Song Yang was still feeling the intense pain. Through the eyes of the dying professor, he tried to imprint the murderer’s appearance in his mind.
Even though the murderer was wearing a mask, he wanted to find the murderer’s characteristics.
Seventh second.
Song Yang discovered that the murderer had a strange tattoo on the wrist of the hand holding the knife, different from the pattern on the mask.
It was a letter resembling a cobra, and he tried his best to associate it with the 26 letters of the English alphabet.
Soon, he got the true appearance of this tattoo.
——〖KEY〗
Eighth second.
Finding the severed head of the professor, Song Yang felt a strange sense of reality.
It was very similar to the blurred feeling of the brain about to die.
The Screening allowed him to immediately experience everything the deceased had seen and gained in the last ten seconds before death.
Therefore, Song Yang felt very happy.
Everything felt like it was about to be relieved, and there was a strange feeling of not being bound.
Ninth second.
The wedding dress man appeared again, holding a ritual instrument in his hand. Watching this ritual instrument from such a close distance, Song Yang couldn’t help but sigh.
‘This ritual instrument is so beautiful!’
The ritual instrument struck the professor’s body, and his body immediately withered like water flowing away.
‘I’m so ugly!’
Tenth second.
Song Yang returned.
The moment he returned, he felt the world spinning, and at the same time, a strong sense of nausea accompanied by stomach cramps, he vomited directly.
At the same time, his body convulsed as if he was having an epileptic seizure, he fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Fortunately, the short-haired man discovered him in time, and while dialing 120, he suppressed his trembling.
When Song Yang woke up, he found that he was already in a hospital bed, and there was no one in the ward.
He smiled bitterly and put the back of his hand under his forehead.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Jiang Ge came in, carrying a fruit basket in her hand.
“Looks like you’re quite lucky, I saw you awake as soon as I came.” Jiang Ge said mischievously.
Having shed the reporter’s decisiveness and rigorous uniform, Jiang Ge at this moment was wearing casual clothes, like a big sister next door. However, her signature bun was still there.
“Did I faint?”
“That only you can answer, I don’t know the specifics. I couldn’t get through to your phone, I thought something had happened to you, and then I used some tricks to find out that you were here.” Jiang Ge took an apple from the fruit basket and handed it to Song Yang, who shook his head, took out his phone, and found that there was only one call from Yu Yang on it.
He called back and told Yu Yang that he had something to do before hanging up the phone.
Looking at Jiang Ge, he said angrily, “Didn’t you buy it for me? Why are you eating it?”
“If I don’t eat it, then you’ll just have to eat it.” Jiang Ge said with a smile.
“By the way, what tricks did you use to know I was here? You wouldn’t have put a tracker on me, would you?” Song Yang asked angrily.
“Hey, hey, isn’t it easy to know where I am?” Jiang Ge pouted: “You’ve already remembered my police number, call and ask, they’ll tell you I was taken to the hospital.”
“Just that?”
“Otherwise? Put away those novel thoughts, this is reality, not a novel, where are there so many twists and turns.”
She continued: “How did you faint? Do you remember? I asked the nurse, she said you’re very healthy, you don’t seem like you’d have a sudden seizure.”
Song Yang pondered, and quickly remembered.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been too tired recently.” Song Yang didn’t say much about the epilepsy issue.
He roughly knew that the reason why he convulsed should be a side effect of the Screening.
“However, I probably know some details of the professor’s murder.”
Then, he told Jiang Ge everything he had seen and heard in the ten seconds before death.
The latter pondered for a while before asking: “Two questions, first, are you sure that ten seconds is enough time to do so many things? For an ordinary person, even as strong as a flying man, Usain Bolt can only run a hundred meters in ten seconds. The series of actions you just described seems to take more than ten seconds.”
“Second, it’s still the same old question we always talk about, are you sure that the one who died was the professor?”
Jiang Ge’s words made Song Yang silent for a while.
He naturally believed in the system’s Screening. Since the Divine Detective gave him ten seconds, it must be ten seconds.
But, what Jiang Ge said also made sense. In the ten seconds, the woman in the wedding dress and the murderer did so many things, it was indeed unlikely.
Moreover, Jiang Ge’s second question did give him a reminder, he couldn’t be sure that the one he was Screening was the professor.
There was no mirror, he didn’t look at himself.
Therefore, he couldn’t be sure.
Seeing Song Yang’s silence, Jiang Ge opened her mouth: “Don’t worry too much, hand over Wang Jie’s video to the Investigation Bureau, they definitely won’t sit idly by.”
“The bureau won’t investigate.” Song Yang looked at Jiang Ge and said.
“How could that be?” Jiang Ge was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Is it because of the press conference?”
Song Yang nodded: “Kang County is currently striving to create a civilized and hygienic city, and the ‘Longevity Town’ brand has only just been launched. Because of the professor’s case, the brand has already been damaged.”
“Although the case was solved in time, the Kang County officials definitely won’t allow this case to be investigated again, otherwise it will affect the subsequent application for creating a civilized and hygienic city.”
Jiang Ge sighed, “So, is this case just going to be like this?”
“I’ve discussed it with Team Leader Yu, this case can only be investigated secretly.” Song Yang looked at her again, “I will find the murderer and bring him to justice.”
“I knew it, Investigator Song Yang, you’re the most reliable, I’m optimistic about you.” The woman heard his words, and suddenly became energetic again.
“Next, let’s catch the murderer!”
She rubbed her fists, preparing to go after the murderer.
