Chapter Twenty-Four: The Man Who Disappeared
The splattered blood made the man more excited, and the dagger in his hand swung faster.
Zhong Yao's position is limited, if she leaves the bed, she can use the space to maneuver with the enemy, but Xun Yuan behind her will become the target of the opponent's attack.
So she couldn't retreat, she could only endure the pain in her arm to withstand every attack of the other party.
Xun Yuan saw that Zhong Yao was about to be overwhelmed, so he didn't think about it. Swooped down and punched the man in the head.
The moment the fist touched the opponent's head, Xun Yuan felt an inexplicable power, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
The man let out a burst of exhalation, and his movements immediately froze, Zhong Yao grabbed almost, grabbed the man's wrist with the dagger with one hand, and drilled his body under the man's armpit, locking the other party's hand behind his back.
The man's arm hurts and the dagger falls off.
Something strange happened, and the dagger that landed on the ground immediately turned into black smoke.
Before Zhong Yao could react, her hands were empty, and the man in front of her also turned into a cloud of black gas, she was startled, and quickly covered her mouth and nose and jumped back.
A hint of sharpness flashed in Xun Yuan's eyes, and before the black mist completely dissipated, he slapped his palm on the black mist.
A little black qi emanated from his palm, melting into the black mist.
With a deafening howl, the black fog disappeared completely.
Zhong Yao covered his ears, waited until the voice disappeared, and hurriedly went to check Xun Yuan's state, and saw that all his physical characteristics were normal, and he was immediately relieved.
It didn't take long for the bedroom door to be opened, and Liu Ruting rushed into the room with several big men.
She turned on the light in the room and exclaimed, "What was the sound just now? Is it okay to find a doctor?"
"It's okay, I just slept like a pig, Mr. Liu, take me to your monitoring room to have a look. Zhong Yao turned around and said.
Liu Ruting noticed her wound and said worriedly: "Officer Zhong, let's bandage the wound, it's not too late to go to the monitoring room." ”
"It's okay, remember to protect the site environment, especially around this balcony, including downstairs. Zhong Yao nodded and said.
She took out the communicator, hesitated for a moment, but still changed her mobile phone, dialed her father's number, and told her about the strange things here.
"It's useless, someone else flew over from the pool, you should protect the pool. Xun Yuan's voice suddenly sounded.
The eyes of the two women fell on the man on the bed at the same time, one surprised, the other puzzled.
Xun Yuan rubbed his temples and got up slowly, Liu Ruting walked over quickly and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine, it's just a headache. Xun Yuan said lightly.
"I'll arrange for someone to give you a massage. Liu Ruting said.
Xun Yuan hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and said, "No, no." It's an old problem. ”
"Xun Yuan, what did you mean when you said that the pool was flying? You saw it all, and what happened when the man disappeared?" Zhong Yao stepped forward and asked.
Xun Yuan said lightly: "There are too many questions, you won't believe it, wait for Zhong Lao to come." ”
Zhong Yao frowned, and wanted to say something, but swallowed the question back.
Half an hour later, five police cars drove into the villa's gates.
Under the arrangement of Zhong Lao, a group of policemen began to collect evidence from the villa with instruments.
Zhong Lao, led by the servant, came to Xunyuan's room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the bandages on his daughter's body, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yao'er, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine, minor injury. Zhong Yao said lightly.
"I told you not to take this task, but you didn't listen. Zhong Lao complained in a low voice.
Zhong Yao glanced at Xun Yuan and didn't speak.
Zhong Lao felt his daughter's gaze, sighed in his heart, turned his head and asked, "Stinky boy, tell me what you saw." ”
Xun Yuan let out a breath and told all the things he had seen out of his soul and what he had seen.
The people in the room looked at Xun Yuan with wide eyes.
In the face of the incredulous gazes of others, Xun Yuan had long been accustomed to it, and quietly waited for Zhong Lao to speak.
Zhong Lao pondered for a long time and said, "What you say is really incredible, and you can't prove it at all, but I believe in you, so let's tell me your opinion, why did this man and his weapon disappear?"
Xun Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "The latter words are completely my speculation, just listen to them." ”
"This series of murders is related to dreams, first of all, you have to understand a premise, that is, the things in the dream can be embodied in the real world, to put it simply, the things in the dream will actually appear in the real world. After saying this, Xun Yuan looked at the people in front of him.
Liu Ruting didn't seem to understand, Zhong Lao dragged his cheeks and pondered, but Zhong Yao's eyes flashed, and he said: "You mean, that man is a person in a dream." ”
"Yes, he is the person in the dream, and the way he looks, including the things on his body, are all in the dream, which explains the crime scene, why the evidence cannot be collected, because this murderer is from the dream, he disappears, and the things that fall in the real world will also disappear. Xun Yuan said.
Zhong Lao said at this time: "Then based on your setting, I have some doubts to ask you, if this man does exist in reality, why can't the camera capture him?"
This question immediately stopped Xun Yuan, and he could only shake his head helplessly after thinking about it for a long time: "I only encountered the concretization of dreams in reality today, and I can't explain this problem." ”
"It's good that you can analyze these things, okay, now wait for the results of the investigation, and hopefully find some clues. Zhong Lao said.
The police collected it very carefully, and they conducted a thorough search of the place where the mysterious man had passed according to everything they had seen.
Several people waited until midnight for the results of the analysis to come out.
There was indeed a trace in the garden where the man in black walked to the pool, and where the man in black jumped, a small indentation could be seen on the tiles of the pool, and it seemed that the man's foot was not light.
They also did an inspection of the wall, and they did see fresh scratches on it, but unfortunately, the man was still not visible on the display screen in the monitoring room, as if he was a transparent person.
This result was also expected by everyone, Zhong Lao quickly closed the team, and he repeatedly told Zhong Yao to pay attention to safety before leaving.
At this time, there were only three people left in the room, Xun Yuan, Zhong Yao and Liu Ruting.
"Why don't you go back to sleep?" asked Xunyuan.
Liu Ruting pointed to the sofa and said, "I'll meet here tonight." ”
Zhong Yao said lightly: "That sofa is where I rest." ”
"This is my home, and I can do whatever I want. Liu Ruting said.
Xun Yuan got up and walked to the sofa, lay down on it and said, "This is mine, you two beds." ”
He didn't bother to pay attention to the two women, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The early morning sun shines through the curtains, and the alarm on the bedside phone also rings.
She snapped her eyes open and stared blankly at the ceiling above her.
When she was fully conscious, she got out of bed, got dressed, and went to the living room as usual, but there was no breakfast on the table.
Zhou Mengyun's heart tightened, and she hurriedly rushed into her grandmother's bedroom, and when she heard the other party's even snoring, she was relieved.
It seems that grandma has been very tired recently, so it is better to let her rest more.
She turned and walked to the bathroom, ready to wash.
A figure floated into the bathroom like the wind, Zhou Mengyun suddenly felt that the cold hairs on her body stood on end, and she was a little suspicious that her eyes were overlooked.
Suddenly, there was the sound of water coming out of the faucet in the bathroom.
The clear voice made her heart tremble, and she didn't know where she had the courage to rush into the bathroom to see who the people inside were.
There was a woman standing in front of the sink, she bent over, lowered her head, washed her hands, blood kept oozing out of her body, and then through her clothes, drop by drop, smashed on the tiles of the bathroom, and the blood gathered and flowed into the drainage hole.
Zhou Mengyun's eyes widened, her body was motionless, and she looked at the woman in front of her.
The woman who washed her hands slowly straightened up, raised her head, and looked through the mirror on the washstand, revealing her bloodied face.
Zhou Mengyun covered his mouth and stared at his frightened eyes, the woman in front of him was actually himself.
Zhou Mengyun, who was covered in blood, slowly turned around, looked at Zhou Mengyun who covered his mouth, and showed a weird smile.
Zhou Mengyun only felt that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.
At this moment, there was a noise in my grandmother's bedroom.
Zhou Mengyun in the bathroom disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.
Zhou Mengyun, whose heartbeat had not subsided, stood up from the ground, she covered her chest, sat on the chair in the living room, and gasped for breath.
Grandma walked out of the bedroom, her face was tired, she looked preoccupied, she saw her granddaughter, and said, "Oh, Yunyun, I don't know what's going on today, I got up too late, and I didn't make breakfast." ”
Zhou Mengyun heard her grandmother's voice, and when she thought that that thing was her grandmother's nightmare just now, her heart throbbed, she couldn't help crying, she didn't dare to look back at her grandmother, she just shook her head and said, "It's okay, grandma, I'll go out to buy breakfast later, you have a good rest." ”
Grandma heard that the other party's tone was wrong, and hurriedly walked up to Zhou Mengyun, and said worriedly: "You child, why are you crying?"
Zhou Mengyun's tears kept rolling down, she got up and hugged her grandmother, feeling the other party's thin body, her heart was even more painful, and she sobbed: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Early in the morning, don't cry, don't cry, it's not good to cry. Grandma patted Zhou Mengyun's back and comforted.
Zhou Mengyun cried: "Grandma, tell me, did you have a nightmare?"
Grandma's face changed greatly, and she said, "No...... No, my grandmother believes in Buddhism and doesn't have nightmares. ”
Zhou Mengyun let go of her grandmother, wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, I'm going to wash up and go to work." ”
"Okay, you can hurry, don't be late. Grandma smiled reluctantly.
Zhou Mengyun hurriedly finished washing, took a small bag, and quietly glanced at her grandmother who was chanting in front of the Buddha platform before going out.
She walked out of the gate of the community, hesitated, and dialed Xunyuan's phone number.
