Chapter 1: A Deceptively Simple Case
It's a meadow at the end of a thick fog that is generally obscured.
The fog obscures the end of this world, but it does not obscure the sun in the sky.
The sun is warm and the wind is light.
Butterflies fluttered, and small birds flew by from time to time.
Very ordinary scenery of nature.
But it gave Su Che a great shock in his heart.
After all, this is a dream that Melinda has constructed.
And in this world, he has the same feeling as reality.
It feels like it's not a dream, it's a reality.
Melinda's ability to build dreams is truly extraordinary, and her training of the senses in dreams has matured day by day.
The Dream Builder and the Dream Listener, two interdependent people.
One constructs a dream, the other touches a dream.
However, the Dream Builder seems to be a little more capable than the Dream Listener.
Because Melinda can also enter dreams and feel it.
Su Che didn't really understand where his mastery as a dream hearr was.
He is still learning.
The one who taught him was the Dream Builder.
Such a dream world is just a "material" for oneself to learn.
As a dream builder, Melinda doesn't know how many dreams like this have been constructed.
Of course, the scenes in the dream are different.
The longer you spend with her, the more you will naturally be able to get in touch with.
Dreams like this were only the basis for his exposure to more complex dreams.
Accustomed to such dreams, he will gradually adapt to other dreams.
Melinda doesn't ask him how fast he learns, but he asks him to take it step by step.
However, his progress has been very fast.
There are a lot of things that need to be explained, and he breaks them at a moment.
He must be a genius.
Melinda has joked several times that it would be a shame if Sucher wasn't a dream listener.
……
……
Melinda hadn't come to her in a while.
She was preparing to leave and return to the capital, Yanjing.
Before leaving, I don't know what I was delayed, and I didn't seem to leave.
Perhaps, now she's gone.
Su Che, who can only exist in a dream, doesn't know what the reality looks like at the moment.
He wanted to see her.
With no one to accompany me, I sat alone in my dreams, really lonely, very lonely.
Although he had been learning to adapt to the dream, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.
I really want to get out of my dreams and go out into the real world.
Touch one person after another and see the scenery piled up by the sea of people.
Seeing familiar streets and people in familiar places, he is still a hard-working student preparing for the college entrance examination.
Enjoy campus life, life is simple and happy.
- That's what he thought.
However, for him now, this is just an extravagant hope.
He can't go back to reality yet, and Guo Daoxue hasn't saved him from reality.
He can only exist in dreams, and in order to be in touch with everything he encounters in reality, he must first learn to adapt to simple dream scenes, and then to adapt to complex ones.
The real world that belongs to him is more complicated, and even if it is for the dream builder Melinda to build it, it will take a lot of effort.
And now, even if he walks into that world, he can't feel its real existence.
His sensibility needs to be further trained.
Melinda has told him more than once that she will not put too complicated the world in front of him, and that the "material" she gives him is something that he feels is a general construct of the real world, and that the complexity of the "material" will only increase when his ability increases.
And his current ability is the scenery in front of him-
Sunshine, wind, prairnland, butterflies, birds,......
……
……
At some point, Melinda sat down next to Sucher.
Perhaps he was so preoccupied with his own thoughts that he didn't even notice her existence for a while.
When she spotted her, she gave him a sweet smile.
However, there was a look of exhaustion on her face.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm entangled in something."
"What's the matter?"
"A case."
“……”
"It was Luo Feng who asked me to help him."
Luo Feng is a criminal policeman and is always riddled with crimes.
He is actually a very good criminal policeman, but occasionally he encounters some mysteries that cannot be solved for a while.
He wouldn't have been able to find Melinda if he hadn't had to.
"What is the case?"
"Homicide."
"Who is the one who died?"
"It's a family of three driving home at midnight."
"Oh?"
"They came home from visiting relatives, the car drove to Fengqi Road, I don't know what they encountered on the road, stopped the car, and then ...... and was killed. ”
"How did they die?"
"The child was wiped on the neck and died on the spot, and the parents were stabbed several times, but neither died immediately, but because of excessive blood loss, they eventually died."
“……”
"That pair of parents must have struggled before they died, and their expressions were marked with pain and sadness."
“……”
"Maybe it's a sign of their grief when they see their children die and don't care for their own safety."
"Has the murderer been found?"
"Not yet."
"Brother Luo Feng didn't find the murderer?"
"Not yet."
"This case doesn't seem to be difficult to investigate, how can it not be found?"
"Some cases that seem simple may be complicated behind them."
"Oh?"
"Fengqi Road is a road with few people, especially at night. There are street lights, but there are no surveillance cameras. ”
"Those intersections that connect with Fengqi Road, there should be, right?"
"Yes, there is, but there is no trace of the murderer."
"Why?"
"The murderer did not drive, and at the time of the crime, there were no suspicious vehicles passing by that section, not even electric cars or bicycles, let alone pedestrians."
"The murderer entered the road from somewhere on the side of the road and then committed the murder?"
"Very likely."
"It shows that he is familiar with that part of the road."
"Maybe."
"There's a good chance he's someone from the neighborhood."
Luo Feng also thought of this, but ......"
"But what?"
"There is no one nearby, not a single one within a radius of a few kilometers."
“……”
"The police who investigated this case all thought that it was a random case, and there was no motive for the crime at first, but later, somehow, the murderer killed someone."
"This explanation is also too far-fetched."
"Oh? Why? ”
"The murderer went to a place with few tracks, committed the murder and killed someone, but there were no clues about him in the nearby section of the road where there were surveillance cameras, and from this point of view, he knew to avoid the surveillance cameras before committing the murder."
"yes."
"Further, this is not an accident, but an inevitable event. The murderer is waiting there to commit murder. ”
“……”
"Of course, it could be for other purposes, like robbery or something."
"You'd be wrong, there's nothing missing in the car. The father carried 10,000 yuan in cash with him, but he didn't lose a penny. ”
"Is the murderer's purpose really to commit murder?"
"That's what Luo Feng thinks."
"If that's really the purpose, the search can be narrowed."
"Oh?"
"I know that there can't be too many people in the family of three passing by Fengqi Road that night, as long as they start from their circle of acquaintances, they may be able to find the murderer."
"You guessed it right, Luo Feng also thought of this and launched an investigation."
"The result?"
"Nothing."
