Volume 1: The World of Dreams Chapter 12: Charm on the Phone

After signing a series of assurances, Chen Mucheng left the detention cell, and he was released on bail.

"I've seen it for you, and that video isn't fake. ”

Chen Mu was inspecting the returned personal belongings when a middle-aged man walked up and said.

"The monitors haven't been touched either, and they were all dusty when I took them. ”

Yang Hao was by Chen Mu's side, and she believed that her good friend was not that kind of person.

Chen Mu's thoughts turned sharply, thinking about whether he had offended anyone.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu, for letting you run in person, but there may be something that needs to trouble you next. ”

"You kid is still polite to me, don't worry, this matter will definitely come to light and your innocence will be restored, not to mention, the lawyer I found for you is the best in the whole dream, and I have never lost a lawsuit." ”

Chen Mu smiled gratefully, turned his head and said to the policewoman: "Okay, then I'll go first, and contact me at any time if there is any situation." ”

"You'd better find strong evidence before the trial, because the video is very bad for you. ”

Chen Mu nodded, didn't say much, walked out of the gate of the police station, and saw Jiang Nan waiting outside the door early, and there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and gold wire glasses beside him.

"Boss, are we saved?"

"It's fine, it's just that you need to cooperate with the investigation these days, just don't play missing. ”

Jiang Nan promised again and again, this time in and out, she felt like she had escaped death, and now she still has palpitations, and plans to obediently dismiss other part-time jobs and wait for the police to notify her.

Chen Mu didn't care too much about the girl's emotions, looked at the man, stretched out his hand and smiled indifferently: "Thanks to Lawyer Cao." ”

Cao Liu shook hands and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I also take money to do things." ”

At the end of the meeting, several people chatted to the main topic, and found a restaurant to carefully recall the incident. At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Liu instructed the relevant issues before they separated.

However, there was one situation that Chen Mu did not tell anyone: he had entered the dream world and witnessed the whole process of Zhou Jian'an's murder.

It's actually very simple to get rid of suspicion, as long as you find the real murderer, all problems can be solved.

But the problem is that he didn't see the true face of the murderer, and what he can be sure of is that the other party is at least a third-level dream master, and he is greatly implicated in Zhou Jian'an, otherwise there would be no such sentence: If you don't die, I'm uneasy.

There is also a clue that who helped Zhou Jian'an realize his dream before this.

If it is a regular dream center, of course, the information of each guest will be recorded, and it will be more carefully recorded than the dream interpreter.

Because, some guests do not return to reality after dreaming, if they are conscious of the dream, the dream center must destroy their real body according to the guest's request, or keep it on their behalf.

It can be said that there are no detailed records of life cases in the Dream Realization Institute, and it is difficult for the Dream Realization Institute to explain it clearly.

After investigating Zhou Jian'an's information, Chen Mu found that the other party was just a private driver, although the salary was higher than the industry average, it was not easy to buy a third-level dream world that started at one million. From this point of view, it must have been bought on the black market.

Since it's a black market, it's hard. According to the laws of the Empire, the crime of selling Dream Core Balls without permission is the same crime as human trafficking, and it is punishable by death, and those who dare to do so must be extremely careful.

- Dream Crystal Core Ball, a crystal-shaped ball used by the Dream Master to store the dream world, the official monopoly of the empire industry, but does not directly operate, but sells the right to mine, make and sell.

Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered that the Spirit Cultivator King had also said: In just a few days, Zhou Jian'an made him lose a third-level dream crystal world.

In this way, the murderer met with Zhou Jian'an a few days before the crime, and the Dream Crystal Core Ball was not sold to Zhou Jian'an.

Even so, trying to find the murderer is still like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the most likely place to find the identity of the other party is in the world of the Blood Spirit Throne.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Back at the dream interpretation house, Jiang Nan poured hot water for Chen Mu, and when he saw that the other party had been in a state of mind for a long time, he asked worriedly.

Chen Mu didn't answer, but took out his identity card and uploaded a bunch of information to the computer.

"Your mission is here, this is the information I asked the police for, which contains Zhou Jian'an's activity log and some videos before his death, to find out if there is anything suspicious. ”

Jiang Nan exclaimed: "You can even get the internal information of the police, boss, you are too good, does this mean that we are fine?"

"Until the real murderer is brought to justice, you and I are the biggest suspects. When reading the information, focus on the characters who have conflicts with Zhou Jian'an, especially those within ten days, and don't let go of suspicious strangers. ”

"Good!"

Jiang Nan rolled up his sleeves and opened the file, and when he saw the catalog, his face collapsed: "Why are there so many?"

Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders and got up to leave: "Check slowly, I'll take a look at the nearby surveillance, maybe I can find clues." ”

The nearby surveillance has been investigated a long time ago, and it is either not open or broken, and it is also because of the coincidence that the police became suspicious of the video of the dream interpretation house and gave Chen Mu a chance to bail.

Of course, Chen Mu didn't go to investigate and monitor, he rarely drove by himself, and the destination was Building C, No. 18, Shangde Road, Thames Water Town.

Thinking about it, Chen Mu still felt that the plan to be implemented was inappropriate, and in desperation, he called someone.

"Hello?"

There was a lazy and crispy voice on the phone, and when I heard it, I didn't wake up, which made people imagine a picture of begonia flowers blooming and beauties lying down for no reason.

"Haven't gotten up yet?"

"Yo, it's my dear brother, didn't you just watch late at night last night, and you miss someone so soon?"

"I'm looking for you this time. ”

"Okay! every time you look for me, it's a serious matter, it seems that people are old Zhuhuang is regarded as a mother. ”

Chen Mu's face was black, and he didn't care about the tricks on the other end, and said bluntly: "I need a dream crystal core ball, a sci-fi type, the kind that can travel through the past." ”

"Science fiction, my sister is not good at it! and the dream realm continues to travel, which is beyond my sister's comprehension. ”

"This matter needs to be kept strictly confidential, and no third person except you and I will know. ”

"I know, the secret between the two of us!"

"It needs to be set in Thames Water Town this morning, and the level of the dream world cannot be lower than level four, and I will send you the detailed requirements and information later. ”

"Okay! What compensation are you going to give to others?"

"I sent you a gift, it should be almost there. ”

"I don't want it, you make your family physically and mentally tired, you must use your body to ......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Mu quickly hung up the phone, he was too familiar with the other party's next routine, and if he didn't retreat quickly, he was afraid that it would be difficult to end.

No. 18 Shangde Road, an ordinary community in Thames Water Town. Chen Mu pulled the car over to the side of the road and walked to get in.

After finding Zhou Jian'an's house and making sure that there was no one inside, Chen Mu quietly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the people next door were disturbed, and a middle-aged aunt opened the door to complain.

"Hey, don't knock, there's no one in there. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to find Brother Jian, and the eldest sister doesn't know when he will come back. ”

Hearing a young and handsome young man call himself eldest sister, the middle-aged woman's resentment instantly turned into joy, and she enthusiastically introduced: "Their family just moved out a few days ago, and you won't see it." ”

"Moved away, he didn't tell me!"

"Alas. Isn't that something that can't be helped? The child is lying in the hospital every day, Xiaoting has no job, and if she doesn't sell the house, she will be stopped from taking medicine. ”

Chen Mu's heart shook slightly, as if he had thought of something. With a worried look, I asked my aunt about some situations, and finally said goodbye with gratitude. When I went downstairs, I asked the same question to several aunts and uncles with confidence.

When a person is overwhelmed by reality and can't breathe, he often thinks about escaping. Chen Mu guessed that Zhou Jian'an wanted to hide in the dream world precisely because he couldn't afford his daughter's medical burden. I just don't understand, how he did it.

Oh, the curtains aren't closed!

Chen Mu suddenly thought of a question, whether he interprets dreams or not, most of the curtains in the dream interpretation room are closed, but they were opened this morning, someone must have taken the opportunity to sneak in.

He couldn't wait to check if there was any monitoring of the window of the dream interpretation room, but when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the hospital, so he had to press the excitement to find Wang Tingzhi first.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong. It is hard to imagine that Wang Tingzhi, who looks young and delicate, has been able to hold on to the present under repeated blows.

Their daughter, Zhou Xingxing, is dying at this time, she suffers from congenital heart failure and can only rely on equipment to keep her alive.

Chen Mu found the intensive care ward and did not see Wang Tingzhi, while Zhou Xingxing was lying quietly on the bed wearing a breathing tube, with his little head on the side, motionless looking out of the window.

"Xingxing, where's your mother?"

Chen Mu brought a plush toy and sat down in front of the window with a smile. The girl's eyes lit up and she reached out to take the puppy.

"Mom went to cook for Dad, and Dad was very busy with work and didn't come home for dinner. ”

It's still very simple to coax an innocent child, Chen Mu chatted with Zhou Xingxing in a few words. I don't know how long it took, but he felt that someone was staring at him behind him, so he said goodbye to the girl.

"What the hell did you do to my husband?"

The person staring at Chen Mu was Wang Tingzhi, and when Chen Mu went out, she asked angrily.

"If only I had done something to him, he wouldn't have been wronged like he is now. ”

"You're lying, if you hadn't hurt him, why would you give us so much money?"

Chen Mu was surprised: "What money?"

"Do you want to pretend now?"

"Maybe I forgot, can you remind me again?"

"I see it, you're nice to the stars, not like a bad guy. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Mu was confused, and he didn't understand the consciousness of the other party's sudden soft attitude.

"In order to cure the stars, we begged a lot of people, borrowed a lot of debts, and finally sold our house. I finally waited until someone donated organs, but the operation cost 200,000 yuan.

I know that in order to make up for the surgery fee, Jian'an has done a lot of shady things for his boss. But after Qian finished the calculation, he didn't count that his boss suddenly went bankrupt, and the promised money was gone.

Tell me the truth, I can stand it, did he experiment with your life?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "I said it, I really didn't do anything to him." ”

Wang Tingzhi cried, knelt in front of Chen Mu and begged: "I don't ask for anything else, can't you even tell me how my husband died?"

"You get up first, I really don't know. ”

"You're lying!"

Wang Tingzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and the crystal card in his hand that was ready to be recorded was also closed, and he yelled: "No matter what deal you make with my husband, killing people to pay for your life, I will not let you go." And your black-hearted money, it's not uncommon for my daughter to rather die. ”

Saying that, Wang Tingzhi rushed up to grab Chen Mu's identity card, and forcibly transferred the digital currency in her account before stopping.

The noise soon attracted onlookers to gather, and security guards came to persuade them. Chen Mu didn't stay long, he already had enough clues. Wang Tingzhi thought that Zhou Jian'an had exchanged his life for the money for their daughter's treatment, but Chen Mu knew that this money was the money that King Xiu Ling said.
