Chapter 43: Strange Dreams
After a while, Xia Shi parked the car in the yard and strode towards Gu Song.
Seeing that Xia Shi's face was gloomy and his mood didn't seem to be very good, Gu Song's heart "chuckled", and he barely squeezed out a trace of an embarrassed smile and asked, "Why are you here too?" Team Zhao called you? ”
"It's not." Xia Shi replied coldly, took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs slowly, and said, "I'm not worried about the situation on your side, just come over and take a look." ”
"Don't worry about what?" Gu Song remembered the phone call he received at 1 o'clock in the morning, and said half-jokingly, "You didn't come all the way to catch the traitor, did you?" I've already explained to you, I really don't have anything to do with Teacher Xiao Huo, I brought her here just to help Team Zhao solve the case, don't think nonsense. ”
"What kind of traitor? Who is so boring. Xia Shi frowned unhappily, "I just came over to see if there was anything I needed help with." ”
"Really?" Gu Song didn't believe Xia Shi's statement a little, "Then what do you mean by calling me in the middle of the night?" The tone sounded like he was eating the vinegar of me and Mr. Xiao Huo. ”
"No, you're thinking too much, I'm just in a bad mood and want to talk to you."
"But you hung up the phone without saying a few words to me, why?"
"Suddenly I don't want to talk again, can't I?" Xia Shi looked at Gu Song with a provocative gaze, completely with an attitude that Lao Tzu can do whatever he likes, and you can't care about it.
Gu Song was speechless, but he didn't bother to argue with Xia Shi. Anyway, he sat upright and didn't have any thoughts about Huo Yan, and the two of them were purely friends and temporary partners. If Xia Shi doesn't believe in his character, if he wants to be jealous, he can eat as much as he wants, so he doesn't bother to waste his extra tongue to explain.
After staring at each other silently for a moment, the two of them no longer bothered about this matter, as if nothing had happened, they went to a nearby shop to buy breakfast together.
On the way, Gu Song told Xia Shi what he and Huo Yan had experienced in the past ten hours, as well as the problems that the Jinshui County police were facing, and of course mentioned Huo Yan's next plans. Xia Shi didn't expect the case to develop to this point, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At seven o'clock in the morning, after a simple breakfast, Huo Yan finally lay on the table in the conference room under Gu Song's persuasion and squinted a little. Gu Song was bored looking up information on the Internet while waiting for news from Zhao Hongshan. In the summer, he leaned against the window and smoked quietly, without saying a word, and still looked like he was preoccupied.
Last night, Xia Shi had been researching Ma Zhichen's case before going to bed, but when he went to bed, he dreamed of the clownfish that made everyone unpredictable. It's just that the clownfish in the dream has become extraordinarily large, although the appearance is still the simple and cute appearance of the clownfish, but the size is about to catch up with an adult great white shark, and it looks very weird.
Xia Shi didn't know where he was, maybe in the sea, as far as the eye could see, the blue water stretched endlessly to the end of the darkness, and he seemed to be trapped in a sealed glass fish tank, with nowhere to escape.
The giant clownfish swam back and forth around the glass tank, its bulging eyes constantly looking at him, making him feel like a plaything, a prey. He banged the walls of the glass jar, trying to break it and escape the clownfish's teasing, but at that moment, he saw a lot of black dots slowly falling from above.
As the black dots fell, Xia Shi gradually saw the outlines of those things, which seemed to be human corpses, but at this time, they looked more like fish food fed into the ocean.
Sure enough, the giant clownfish spotted its food and swam towards its nearest corpse with a flick of its tail. As soon as I bit it, the surrounding sea water instantly turned crimson in color, and I smelled blood in the summer, and at the same time, I saw more giant clownfish scrambling to gather from all directions, opening their bloody mouths, revealing shark-like sharp teeth, and frantically biting their prey.
The water turned from azure to pale pink and finally to deep red, and in the summer, it was difficult to see the scene around me, and everything began to blur. Inadvertently lowered his head, he suddenly found that there was a corpse floating under his feet. The corpse had been soaked in water for a long time, and its body was swollen like a leather ball.
As the water pushed, the corpse moved and changed angles, and he slowly saw the man's swollen and deformed face.
Such familiar faces, he felt that he must have seen each other somewhere.
Where is it? He racked his brains and pondered......
Suddenly, a familiar name flashed through his mind, and he shouted "help" and sat up from the bed.
Ma Zhichen!
That's right, the corpse he just dreamed of turned out to be Ma Zhichen.
Summer was so frightened by this strange nightmare that she couldn't sleep anymore. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, grabbed his phone on the bedside table and looked at the time, and at 1:47 a.m., he had slept for less than two hours.
He understood that he dreamed day and night, but the scene in the dream really made him feel very uncomfortable. Trapped in a small glass fish tank, he could only watch as the giant monsters devoured everything around him.
He was so helpless, so desperate, so depressed, so angry, but no one could tell him why, why the always docile and timid clownfish turned into a devil? Why do they show their terrible fangs to humans?
Helpless, desperate, depressed, angry, this is actually how Ma Zhichen's case made him feel. He seemed to understand a little bit why the murderer had left the clownfish at the scene of the crime, and he had a vague premonition of something even more terrifying.
He couldn't sleep anymore and wanted to find someone to talk about Ma Zhichen's case. He first thought of Huo Yan, who had been studying clownfish, so he sent a WeChat message to ask if the other party had slept.
Huo Yan's message quickly came back: I am in Jinshui County with Officer Gu, and Captain Zhao has a tricky case that needs help.
Xia Shi wanted to ask Huo Yan what happened in Jinshui County, and after editing a few words, he simply dialed Gu Song's phone directly. Unexpectedly, as soon as that kid came up, he explained his relationship with Huo Yan without silver, which made Xia Shi lose his interest in chatting all of a sudden......
With a bang, the door to the conference room was pushed open. Xia Shi came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Zhao Hongshan appear at the door, and couldn't wait to say to them: "I just received an anonymous report, someone witnessed Li Baofang appear near the unfinished building at No. 38 Qinglong Street, let's go!" ”
