Chapter 3: A Terrible Dream

"What! Would you say something like the box disappearing on its own, like the words of a criminal policeman? ”

The Director angrily yells at Stellar and Witt in his office, believing that they are joking with himself. This is a man of medium stature, in his forties, with a plain appearance, except for the two mustaches that are particularly eye-catching. As soon as he heard Xingchen say that the box disappeared by itself, he was so angry that his beard flew into the sky!

Xingchen looked at him unconvinced, and said confidently: "But Director, this is what we saw with our own eyes, and all those present can testify!" ”

The director's mustache twisted together again, he slapped the table with his hand, and said angrily: "Okay, then you tell me that your worldview has changed, and I will believe your words for the time being." ”

"This has nothing to do with the worldview, what we say is the truth, please give me a little time, I will definitely find out the truth of the matter, and I will also get the guns back!"

Xingchen lowered his head, secretly desperate, and swore not to give up until he checked it clearly!

"Director, I'm really sorry, you can't blame Xingchen for this, this case is really incredible, we will definitely try to investigate."

Werther was busy rounding up the stars, and the director saw that the two didn't seem to be talking big, so he had to give up and sit back in his chair stupidlyβ€”

"Actually, I don't mean anything else, it's just that what you're saying is ridiculous and unbelievable...... Okay, let's go investigate, and hopefully we can recover those guns sooner. The director's tone finally softened, and the mustache returned to its original position.

"Yes, we'll do our best." After Witt and Xingchen finished speaking, they bowed and walked out of the office together.

It was a very difficult day, and Xingchen sat in the police station for an hour.

She couldn't figure it out, how did the gun suddenly disappear in front of so many people, she had been a criminal police officer for so long, and there were many large and small cases she had experienced, but the cases she encountered today were really indescribable! Coupled with the fact that the director still didn't believe what she said, it made her even more angry.

Xingchen can't help but think back to her experience over the years, when she won the Nobel Prize in Physics for publishing her work on the mechanics of the universe, which was also a very sensational event in the academic world at the time.

My father is one of the members of the Chinese delegation to the Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France, and my mother is a professor of physics at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. Strong genes make her extraordinary intelligence.

When she was 16 years old, she helped her father crack several transnational smuggling cases by chance, showing her super reasoning and detection ability, and her ambition is to be an excellent Interpol like her father.

When she was 17 years old, because her father was transferred back to China to serve as the chairman of the China National Central Bureau of Interpol, she followed her father to leave France, where she had settled since childhood, and returned to China.

Since becoming a criminal policeman, Xingchen's life and work have been smooth.

Perhaps, it was because it was too smooth that God wanted her to suffer some setbacks.

At this moment, Xingchen closed her eyes and sighed deeply, she was a little frustrated, but she thought about it again, if she was stumped like this, it would be too different from herself.

So, she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off all the negative emotions!

At this time, Werther came over, and when he saw Xingchen sitting there alone and depressed, he walked up to her and asked, "Xingchen, have you come up with anything?" ”

Xingchen looked up at Werther and shook his head slowly.

"It's really strange, I've been a police officer for so many years, and I have a lot of cases under my hands, but I've never encountered such a big box of things suddenly disappearing, what the hell!"

"Who's to say it's not, I think, and I can only explain it when I see a ghost." Xingchen put his hands on his cheeks and said very helplessly.

"Then what should I do next, if I can't find the gun, the director won't be able to explain it!"

Xingchen thought for a while, suddenly stood up with a "swish", and said categorically: "Don't worry, captain, no matter how difficult the case is, I, Yu Xingchen, will definitely solve it!" ”

Witt smiled helplessly, although he believed in Xingchen's ability, but now this case is really incredible, and it cannot be deduced with common sense, he feels that it will be very difficult to solve this case.

"Don't worry, Captain, give me a little time, I'm sure I'll be able to get the gun back!"

Hearing Xingchen say this, Werther had no choice but to nod and say no more.

The daytime passed quickly, and Xingchen still had no clue, so he had to go home first.

When she returned home, she fell headlong on the sofa, and when her mother saw her so depressed, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked-

"What's the matter, Xiaoyi, what's going on, so listless?"

Xingchen looked at his mother and replied, "Mom, you also know about the gun smuggling case that I have been investigating for the past few days, and today we finally found the gun, but it disappeared in front of our eyes. ”

"Disappearing, what does it mean to disappear?" Mom didn't quite understand.

"It's just suddenly disappearing in front of all of us, gone, and without a trace." Xingchen replied incredulously.

When my father heard this, he came over and asked, "Are you saying that the gun you found disappeared on its own?" ”

"Yes Daddy, and it disappeared right under our noses. The Director is furious about this! ”

"Was there a white light when the gun disappeared?"

Xingchen was surprised by his father's question, "Dad, how do you know?" ”

"Because, I've been in this situation too......"

"What, Dad has also encountered such a thing, why didn't I know?" Xingchen never imagined that his father would be in the same situation as him.

Dad sat down on the couch, leaned back, looked up at the ceiling, and seemed to remember somethingβ€”

"At that time, you were still young, and I remember that there were many people present, and the gun disappeared in front of everyone under a white light."

"Well, the same as what we encountered. And what about later? Did you find a gun? Xingchen asked impatiently.

"Nope. Later, the case became an unsolved case, and the guns have not been found until now. Since then, my life has not been peaceful, and there have been many bizarre events in between. Strange enough, though, when I stopped meddling in the case, my life was calm again. My father seemed to recall the situation.

How so, what bizarre event?

Why didn't you wait until Dad didn't check the whereabouts of these guns?

Is everything back again?

There were more and more questions in Xingchen's mind.

"I don't know about that, and I haven't been involved in this case since. Unexpectedly, you have encountered the same thing again. ”

"It seems that behind this matter, it is definitely not so simple. But that's okay, I'll be sure to look into it! Xingchen listened to what his father said, and he was even more determined in his decision.

"But Xiaoyi, you still, don't continue to investigate this case......

Father's words made Xingchen very puzzled, "Why? ”

"If you continue to investigate, maybe a lot of dangerous things will happen."

Xingchen thought for his father's words, "Do you mean those so-called bizarre events?" What kind of event would have struck Dad as bizarre? ”

When Dad saw Xingchen ask like this, he knew that if he didn't tell her, she would keep asking.

He sighed, slowly recalling, his mind going back to that yearβ€”

"Here's the thing, during the period when I investigated the disappearance of the gun, many of my colleagues lost their lives, but the state of death is unexplainable, all the people who died because of the failure of the body organs at the same time, just like the energy in the body was instantly sucked away, resulting in organ failure and death, and no external injuries were found on the body, the authorities felt that such a murder was too weird, so they ordered to block the news and withdraw the investigation of the case, so the case was finally closed."

The father paused slightly, and then said: "I thought that after so many years, this matter has become a thing of the past, but I didn't expect that now I have been bumped into by you again, it is like a reincarnation, the same thing will happen to our father and daughter one after another, I always have a bad feeling." ”

"I see, it does sound incredible, in fact, since the guns disappeared, I have always had an ominous premonition."

"So, I don't want you to continue investigating, this matter is really more dangerous than you think."

"But Dad, you also know my personality, if there is an unsolved case in front of me, if I don't investigate it clearly, I will definitely not be able to eat and sleep, besides, I am not afraid of such a thing at all, on the contrary, I am more determined to know the truth of the matter."

"I don't know you, I just don't want you to get hurt!" There was a pleading look in my father's eyes.

But Xingchen didn't have the idea of giving up because of his father's worries-

"Dad, I know you're worried about me, but if this matter is not investigated, it will damage our reputation in the criminal police world."

"You kid, I don't know who your personality looks like!" Father said angrily.

Xingchen sat down beside him and said with a smile: "Of course, my temperament is inherited from my father." Haha, don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine, even if something happens, Dad will help me as soon as possible, right? ”

Seeing that Xingchen had made up his mind, his father couldn't say anything, "I, I really can't do anything about you!" ”

Xingchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his father had "succumbed".

"Okay Xiaoyi, it's time to go to bed, it's not early." Mom was urging from the side.

"Well, I'll go upstairs, and my mother will accompany me!" Xingchen said coquettishly.

Mom smiled and stood up, "Okay, let's go!" ”

"Well, good night Daddy!" Xingchen turned his head and said.

"Well, good night Xiaoyi!"

After her mother fell asleep with Xingchen, she walked out of the room.

Xingchen was lying on the bed alone, constantly thinking about the moment when the gun disappeared, and the bizarre incident that her father said, the two must be related, but she didn't know where to start, and there was no countermeasure for a while, so she fell asleep after thinking about it.

The dream of this night seemed to be different from usual, and the world in the dream was full of darkness, and there was no end in sight.

Xingchen stood still, not daring to move.

She turned her head and suddenly saw a wooden box, which was the same gun she had seized during the day, and she felt strange and walked over to it.

But as soon as he walked to him, a white light appeared, piercing the stars and preventing them from opening their eyes.

After a while, the white light was gone, and by the time Xingchen opened her eyes to look again, the wooden box was gone, and there was endless darkness before her eyes.

Laughter was faintly heard, and it looked terrifying in the darkness. Xingchen was a little frightened, so she shouted loudly-

"Who are you!"

But there was nothing but laughter to answer her.

The laughter grew louder and louder, seemingly coming from all directions, and the stars kept looking around, hoping to find the source of the sound, but it was in vain.

The stars trotted up, she just wanted to get out of this terrible darkness as soon as possible, her eyes kept glued ahead, hoping to see the light.

And laughter still surrounds the surroundings.

Just in front of Xingchen's eyes, a face suddenly appeared, it was an extremely distorted face, the eyes were hollow, but he could feel the chill inside, Xingchen was so frightened by this sudden face that he screamed in horror......

She snapped her eyes open and sat up from the bed at once, gasping for air in fear.

"It turned out to be a dream ......"

Her voice trembled, and fine beads of sweat were already on her forehead. She looked around and saw that it was her room, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long time, she looked out the window, and the sky was already dark.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, hoping to get out of her fear.

She got out of bed, still habitually walked to the window and opened it.

The morning breeze was blowing through her hair, and there was a slight coolness. She looked up at the gray-blue sky, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of unease welled up in her heart.

She seemed to feel that something bad was going to happen, and this thing couldn't be seen or touched, and she felt a little helpless, but despite this, she still wanted to meet sooner......
