Chapter 23: The Truth 38 Years Ago
Thirty-eight years ago, Yu Xiaofeng transferred from the army and entered the Mingcheng Public Security Bureau as the captain of the criminal investigation team.
At that time, Yu Xiaofeng was wise and brave, knowledgeable, and had the lofty ambition of punishing the traitors and eliminating the evil and cleansing the world.
The crime rate in Ming City began to decline until two thefts appeared.
The two cases are the same: the property was stolen in a safe, but the safe was intact, and only traces of the owner's activities remained.
The difference is that in one case, all the cash was stolen, while in another half of the cash was left.
At first, these two cases were handed over to the public security brigade of the public security bureau as ordinary thefts, and the security team had no clue at all, especially the theft case that left half of the case, which even made the security team suspect that the master directed and acted on his own.
But later, there were more and more similar cases in Mingcheng, and the amount of stolen property slowly accumulated to a number that can only be described as "huge"!
This changed the nature of the theft case, and every family in Mingcheng City panicked, and the criminal investigation team was ordered to take over the mysterious case.
As soon as Yu Xiaofeng took over, he was almost certain that there were two thieves in terms of the style of the case. He visited the homes of various victims, and based on the confessions of the owners, he found that all the cases occurred when the owner's house was away.
This can't be a coincidence!
Yu Xiaofeng thought to himself, if it wasn't for the guards who stole themselves, it must be the robber who took advantage of the master's departure to commit the burglary!
But who is the other party?
If it is placed today, thirty-eight years later, Skynet monitoring everywhere can make thieves have nothing to hide, but thirty-eight years ago, there was no such convenient equipment, and the other party was deliberately cleaning up the traces of his activities, Yu Xiaofeng could not get any useful clues.
There is another point: although the horizontal locks commonly used by every household in Ming City at that time were easy to open with wire, the safe was a "high-tech" imported product, how did the burglars open it without destroying it? Do burglars know the code to every home's safe?
These questions plagued Yu Xiaofeng.
The number of cases continues to increase, and the pressure on the Mingcheng City Public Security Bureau continues to increase with public opinion. Yu Xiaofeng's attempt to detect from the direction of the suspect didn't work at all, but he was astute and quickly changed his thinking.
Yu Xiaofeng thought that it was impossible for the thieves not to use the stolen money after they succeeded, so through a large-scale investigation and mass reporting, he slowly locked his attention on Wei Yongjian, who had a mediocre job but skyrocketing expenses, and his junior brother Qi Yuan.
Yu Xiaofeng asked Wei Yongjian and Qi Yuan many times, and they became old acquaintances with each other.
Yu Xiaofeng sent someone to follow us, and the theft in Mingcheng City stopped, which made Yu Xiaofeng almost certain that the criminals in the serial theft case were Wei Yongjian and Qi Yuan. But he still couldn't figure out how we shopped, and he didn't have any evidence to catch them.
However, Yu Xiaofeng is indeed a bold, careful, and persistent person! He took the trouble to visit the theft site and constantly questioned the owner. Finally, the hard work paid off, and Yu Xiaofeng suddenly discovered that every theft case has a hidden similarity:
Each owner had the same type of dream a few days before the theft. They all dream that they have opened the safe with their own hands because of something!
Yu Xiaofeng soon suspected that someone had done something in the dreams of these lost owners, and they saw the password of the safe in their dreams.
This time, Yu Xiaofeng really guessed correctly!
"How is this possible!" When Yu Lang heard this, he couldn't help but groan in question. He has been in contact with detective work since he was a child, and has seen countless unsolved and mysterious cases in the world, and the cases told by Wei Yongjian thirty-eight years ago are not thrilling compared to those, but they are the most incredible!
"How is this impossible?" Wei Yongjian looked at the handsome young policeman and said, "Have you forgotten how you brought Xingzi from the interrogation room to Changping Street and exposed to that group of mysterious masked people?" ”
Xingzi and Yu Zhengyong all looked at Yu Lang when they heard this, especially Yu Zhengyong, who was very curious why Yu Lang, who was usually cautious, would take the interrogation object outside.
Yu Lang pointed at Yu Zhengyong and said, "I answered my father's call, and he asked him to do this!" ”
Yu Zhengyong frowned: "When did I call you?" ”
Yu Lang's face was full of surprise, and he suddenly remembered the disappeared call records on his mobile phone, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the call I answered is fake?" ”
Wei Yongjian said: "Yes. You were asleep by then! It's not just the phone you answered that was fake, the entire scene you saw at the time was fake. The man in the white mask pretends to be a delivery person, finds out your environment, and then shortly after you fall asleep, creates dreams for you that resemble the real environment.
"He created the plot where your father called you and asked you to take Xingzi to No. 10 Changping Street. But his abilities are limited, and if you pay attention, you will find that the screen on the monitor in front of you is stopped, and the position of your phone at the end of your last dream is different from the position of your phone at the beginning of the dream. ”
Yu Lang's eyes widened, and he muttered: "No wonder my memory of the mobile phone before I went out at that time was biased!" He paused, then glared at Wei Yongjian in surprise: "Why do you even know this!" ”
"Because when the White Masked Man was dreaming for you in his dream, I stood in his dream and stared at him! That's why I was able to call the police and tell the exact location at the first time! Wei Yongjian said.
Yu Zhengyong's father and son were dumbfounded when they heard this, but they couldn't find anything to suspect.
Xingzi listened to his grandfather's words and remembered the dream in which Qiu Qingping attacked him unscrupulously, the scene of the mental health room in the dream was very close to the real scene, but there were slight differences, could it also be a man-made dream? Who made it? Qiu Qingping?
Wei Yongjian continued to tell the following about the past:
"Just like the white masked man made dreams for you, thirty-eight years ago, Qi Yuan and I were the same, creating dreams for those rich people, weaving the plots in the dreams, they naturally went to open the safe in the dream, we witnessed their every move in the dream, remembered the password of their safe, and swaggered in to open the safe when they left home.
"Who would have thought of this kind of theft? Even if you think about it, who will believe it? But Xiaofeng just wanted to get it, but he believed it! He really is the boldest and most persistent person I have ever met, and the one who can do miracles!
"You know what? This kind of dreaming and dreaming thing cannot be done by ordinary people who don't have special abilities. But in order to prove his conjecture, in order to bring me and Qi Yuan to justice, Yu Xiaofeng searched for information everywhere, and he really relied on his own method to enter the dream of me and Qi Yuan three times and twice.
"Qi Yuan and I felt threatened. The amount of money Qi Yuan stolen was very large, enough to be shot in those days; And because I always keep half of the money when I commit crimes, the accumulated amount is not as much as him, but it is enough to put me in prison.
"I proposed to Qi Yuan to go away and fly high, and he agreed, on the condition that I introduce Yu Xiaofeng into the dream game he created, trap Yu Xiaofeng for a while, and win time to escape.
"I agreed to his terms! It's just that I didn't expect that because of his persistence, Yu Xiaofeng, a fool, actually turned Qi Yuan's dream into his own circular dream, and he has been trapped in it until now! ”
"You say, is Brother Feng really just asleep?" When Wang Qinfen heard this, her voice was full of surprise and surprise, "I'll just say that Brother Feng is definitely not a vegetative person!" Not in a vegetative state...... But why was Brother Feng able to sleep for so long and still hasn't woken up? How did Qi Yuan make Brother Feng fall asleep for so long? ”
Wei Yongjian said: "Back then, Qi Yuan created a homicide case in his dream. Yu Xiaofeng chased me into my dream, and my dream connected to Qi Yuan's dream. I took Yu Xiaofeng to the place where the murder occurred. As soon as Yu Xiaofeng encountered that kind of thing, he really stayed there as expected.
"When I saw that the plan was successful, I immediately woke up from my dream, drove my family and the sleeping Qi Yuan to leave, and just as I was about to leave Mingcheng, Qi Yuan suddenly woke up and told me that there was no need to escape!
"I was very strange and asked him several times why. He was relieved and told me that Yu Xiaofeng was too obsessed with the murder case and couldn't find the real culprit, so he had turned the dream created by Qi Yuan into his own dream, and he didn't want to come out.
Yu Zhengyong was shocked and asked: "You said that for so many years, my dad has been solving cases in his dreams?!" ”
Wei Yongjian nodded: "Actually, Qi Yuan's dream is just a game, but if Yu Xiaofeng can't catch the real culprit or doesn't take the initiative to give up, he won't be willing to leave, and he will always be lost and fall asleep."
Although this kind of lethargy has no substantial harm to Xiaofeng's soul consciousness, once he continues to sleep like this, he will be treated as a vegetative person by others, and even die due to the loss of others' care and physical attrition.
"I'm a weak person. I agreed to steal with Qi Yuan in a dream, just to improve the conditions at home, I never thought of cutting off the livelihood of other families, so I always steal some and keep some. After learning about Yu Xiaofeng's condition, I realized the seriousness of the situation, and I could not ruin the life of a promising young man and his family because of my own mistakes.
"I asked Qi Yuan to tell me the real murderer of the murder, and Qi Yuan directly rejected me. He and I no longer have the same ideas, and they break with me.
"I had to give up the idea of fleeing, but I couldn't find Qi Yuan anymore. I also found more than a dozen opportunities to enter Yu Xiaofeng's dream, but I couldn't find the answer to the murder case, and persuaded Yu Xiaofeng not to meddle and take the initiative to leave, but every time Yu Xiaofeng resolutely rejected me.
