Chapter 22: The Truth About the Nightmare

"As a child? Teacher Jin remembered the past? Xu Tian asked.

"I've remembered some, but it's incomplete, and I'm not entirely sure that those memories are correct." Teacher Jin said.

"What's it? Can you tell me? Xu Tian asked.

"It's going to kindergarten every other week, and I remember what I was doing the week I disappeared." Speaking of this, the picture in Mr. Jin's mind immediately went back to when he was a child.

It was a very small room, the furnishings were very simple, the doors and windows were closed, there was only a dim small light bulb in the room, and the young teacher Jin was curled up in the corner alone, his heart was very frightened, his eyes were always staring at the door, as if he was afraid that someone would walk in.

The wind outside was very strong, and occasionally there was a shara la sound hitting the window.

"Is this snowing?" Teacher Jin thought in his heart.

The light bulbs in the room used to be bright, probably because they had been on for too long, and now they have become very dim, as if they are going to go out at any moment.

Mr. Jin was very afraid that the light bulb would go out, if there was no light, then this room would be in darkness both day and night, he was not afraid of the dark, but he felt insecure.

In Mr. Jin's memory, he had to be locked up in this hut every other week, and he didn't remember where this hut was, the only thing he remembered was that he was always afraid in his heart, whether it was the fear of the darkness or the fear of the door, it was very shocking.

"That's the way it is, I don't remember anything else." Teacher Jin said.

"When did you remember these things?" Xu Tian asked.

"I remembered it a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to tell you, you should know the reason, right?" Teacher Jin said.

"Is it taboo against Dr. Lin?" Xu Tian said.

"I don't admit it and I don't deny it." Teacher Jin said.

"So what are you going to do now? I think your memory is very important, and if we could remember it all, maybe we wouldn't have to take so many detours. Xu Tian said.

"Of course I know, but how can it be so easy to remember? Also, my memories alone should not play a role, there is another child in my memory, he is like me in the mirror, I had a strange dream before, in the dream I saw the child, and it seems to have happened. Teacher Jin said.

"Twins? That should make sense, right? Xu Tian said.

"I can't be sure, because my perspective in my dreams can be changed, sometimes I am in my own perspective, and suddenly I will change to that child's perspective, no matter which perspective I can see the other person, but the final outcome makes me think about it for a long time." Teacher Jin said.

"What's the end?" Xu Tian asked.

"It was me who failed, I was calculated by that child, and after that it felt like someone else had replaced me, but my own consciousness was all transferred to that child, and it gave me the feeling that I had become another me." Teacher Jin said.

"What about you now? Which kid do you feel like you are? Xu Tian asked.

"Of course it's the failed kid, so I've never been able to figure out if it was just a dream or something that happened." Teacher Jin said.

"You told Li Zhitong about this, right? Does anyone else know? Xu Tian asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, who can I talk to, of course I know in my heart, but we shouldn't talk about this now, the current incident is more important, about the man who disappeared, you already have eyebrows, right?" Teacher Jin asked.

"Of course, but before you do that, you have to explain to me what the hell is going on with that pillar of incense in the room?" Xu Tian asked.

"I stole it from Dr. Lin." Li Zhitong walked out of the hotel and said.

"Stolen? That's Dr. Lin's stuff? Xu Tian said.

"Yes, and Jin Shaolan and I have already done experiments, that thing can only take effect in a closed space, and its smell is very chic, you can smell it too, right?" Li Zhitong said.

"Could it be that the smell of cigarettes is from the incense?" Xu Tian said in surprise.

"That's right! In fact, the smell of cigarettes you smelled in the room was not from Jin Shaolan's body, but from the pillar of incense, because it hadn't been too long since the incident that happened this morning, and Jin Shaolan and I smelled it in Sharon's room when we walked in here to investigate, so we decided that Sharon also had this thing in his hand. Li Zhitong said.

"No wonder I smelled this smell when I asked Sharon at the time, when we were in the room just now, you lit the incense when Teacher Jin walked in, right? That's why I mistakenly thought that the smell of cigarettes was emanating from Mr. Jin. Xu Tian said.

"Well, on the one hand, we want you to remember if you smelled this smell in Sharon's room this morning, and on the other hand, we want to see if this thing works for you." Li Zhitong said.

"Then when I was in Dong'an City before, did I smell this thing? But I don't remember ever smelling cigarettes before. Xu Tian said.

"This matter still needs to be investigated, but it is reasonable to say that this incense has other flavors, for now we can focus on the case at hand first, and other things must be carried out gradually, and it is important to track down the man who escaped." Li Zhitong said.

"The man must have entered Sharon's room, but he disappeared, and the truth is actually very simple, I was negligent." Xu Tian said.

"You know? If you hadn't gone to the stairs to check, the man wouldn't have had room to escape. Li Zhitong said.

"This step is what I have to do, I didn't have a helper by my side at the time, I had to go to the stairs to check in person, and it was at that time that the man who escaped to Sharon's room escaped, but there was no bathroom inside, and there were steel bars on the windows of the entire first floor, and from these signs, there was only one way for the man to escape." Xu Tian said.

"Hide in the other two rooms, your enemies at that time were not only that man and Sharon, Yanzi and Xu Ling were also suspects." Li Zhitong said.

Thinking about the extremely frightened truth has long been seen through by Xu Tian, but Xu Tian has long known this escape step, Xu Tian just wants to know who the enemy is, and now it is obvious that this time the enemy has infiltrated the police.

The man's only way to escape was to wait for the police in one of the other two rooms, put on his police uniform and follow the police who were searching the hotel, but if the man was not a police man, then this escape was impossible.

But can all the police who came to search cover up the man? This is impossible, so the truth is that the people who came to search were not the police at all, and it was the same group of people who took those suspects, but why did those suspects end up at the police station?
