Chapter XXVII: Three Questions

The high pressure of the past few days has made my consciousness ethereal, and the dreams drawn by my consciousness are also confusing, and since that strange footprint appeared in my home, I have often been entangled between dreams and reality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, however, I was sure that I was dreaming, because the image unfolding in front of me was slightly distorted in a hazy way, giving people a very unreal feeling.

I had never seen this hallway, but the door in front of me was familiar, because it was a very ordinary door that could be seen everywhere, and there was an upside-down blessing character on the door, bright red as blood, as if blood would drip from it at any moment, giving people a feeling of horror.

I wanted to get close but didn't dare to approach the door, my mind took over the body, keeping me as far away from there as possible, but my legs couldn't take half a step back.

I felt a loud noise coming from the other side of the door, as if there was a shout, a cry for help, or a wail, yes, it was just a feeling, and I didn't actually hear anything.

I don't understand the point of standing here, just as I don't understand why I have such dreams, absurd, weird, and a little nonsensical.

Just when I thought that this strange dream would end in these complicated feelings, the door suddenly opened, and immediately after, a large expanse of strong blood, the smell of blood, and a dead silence completely different from the one before!

Suddenly, several figures rushed out of the room, unable to see their faces, I instinctively turned and ran away, while they chased after me, I don't know who they were chasing, but I didn't mean to stop, my heart was grabbed as if it was being grabbed, and it stopped beating.

Gradually, the feeling of being oppressed disappeared, and before I knew it, I had run into a sparsely populated open space.

I am no longer a stranger to this place, and I even recognized it at a glance, this is the place where I first saw Xue Renqing!

I saw the face of a strange woman, but I subconsciously believed that it was Xue Renqing, and her blood-stained right hand was tightly grasping my ankle, her mouth was closing and saying something, and the liquid of two colors flowed out of her eyes, which blended and separated incredibly, and then flowed down her cheeks to her hands, and then along my calves, like blood-red snakes, crawling up my body and wrapping around my neck......

"Don't!"

I opened my eyes suddenly, and sat up from the hospital bed with a scream, sweating profusely, and my hand clutching the futon shook violently, until another gentle little hand gently came up, and my restless and panicked heart calmed down a little.

"Joon, what's wrong with you? Is it a nightmare? ”

It's Nie Qian, and her voice sounds like Sanskrit sound in her ears and heart at this moment.

I nodded slightly, the fear that had surged in the dream like a tide before had now faded like a tide with the sunlight shining in from the window, leaving only a few fragments, and this time I wrote down almost the entire dream, except for the demonic Xue Renqing, there was also the corridor and the door.

As soon as I turned over, regardless of my physical fatigue, I wanted to get the case information that I had thrown on the ground last night, but I found that the ground was empty, and I couldn't help frowning and said, "What about the document?" ”

Nie Qian looked at me with her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "You really don't care about your body, you are already sick and still go to see these things, and you have nightmares, right?" ”

I ignored her, still looking around by myself, Nie Qian sighed leisurely, and said helplessly: "I have sorted out everything for you......"

As she spoke, she opened the drawer of the cabinet next to her, pulled out a file bag from it, and hesitantly handed it to me, "Oh, here you go, but don't be too tired." ”

I agreed, took the paper, and couldn't wait to rummage through it, when suddenly, my movements stopped abruptly, and my eyes were fixed on a photograph.

Nie Qian seemed to see that something was wrong with me, poked her head out to look, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" What are you staring at this door? ”

"That's right, this is the door!"

I muttered in despair, "I just saw it in a dream, I can't think of it...... This is Xue Zilong's home! ”

"Seen in a dream? What does this mean? ”

"It means that I did go there, and it means that my memory is recovering little by little."

As I spoke, I had conflicted feelings, on the one hand, I was happy that I was getting closer to the truth, but on the other hand, deep down I was not really ready to accept the truth.

Nie Qian silently handed over a carton of milk and a loaf of bread, her expression was solemn, since the two of us met again, I had never seen her show such a look, and I couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?" Why is the face so ugly? ”

Nie Qian twisted her face to the side, her shoulders twitched slightly, and she actually cried!

I put down the food in my hand by surprise, gently rubbed her shoulder, looked into her red eyes and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Nie Qian shook her head, and said in a choked voice: "If I can, I really don't want to mention this matter again, it's a nightmare, it's like this for you and me!" ”

As she spoke, she cried even more sadly, I caressed her back and whispered comfort in her ear, but I wondered in my heart, was Nie Qian's reaction too intense? In any case, he was the party to the old case.

Suddenly, Nie Qian restrained her crying and raised her head to look at me, "Jun, let's go, leave everything behind, okay?" ”

"Get out of here?"

I was surprised that the other party suddenly said such inexplicable words, and I was stunned for a while before I asked suspiciously: "Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Nie Qian sighed, the brilliance in her eyes flashed, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, maybe I've encountered too many things these days, plus I've been doing nothing at home all day, so I'll be cranky, but don't worry, I've already found a job and will go to work tomorrow." ”

"Work?" Her decision came a little hastily, and I was stunned, "What do you do?" ”

"I'm a clerk in a private business, and I just want to find something to do for myself, so that I don't have to stay at home all day so boring."

I nodded approvingly, people live, they must always find something to do for themselves, otherwise they will really answer that sentence, he lived to eighty, but died at twenty-five.

Suddenly, we were all in the mood to talk, and the room immediately fell silent, and I silently ate the bread and milk brought by Nie Qian, and began to think about today's plan in my heart.

At that moment, the door to the ward was opened from the outside, and a burly man strode in.

It is Xu Long, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade.

When Nie Qian saw someone coming in, she hurriedly got up from the bed, hid aside, and put away her somewhat haggard makeup.

Xu Long first glanced at her with strange eyes, and then walked straight to my bedside, and was about to speak, but I grabbed the conversation, "You came just in time, I have read all the case materials, there are a few things I want to ask you first, where is Xue Renqing now?" ”

Xu Long was stunned, and repeated the name twice before he suddenly said, "You mean the only survivor in the 10.18 case?" ”

"Yes, it's the girl I saved, where is she now?"

As soon as my words fell, Xu Long said: "I don't know, she left after the verdict of that case was announced, and no one knows where she went." ”

"Even you don't know?"

"Why do we know?" Xu Long asked rhetorically, "She is not a murderer, the case has been closed, the murderer is punished, she naturally has the right to live her own life without any interference." ”

He was right, I was speechless, and after such a tragedy, most people would stay away from this sad city and go incognito, so it was a needle in a haystack to find Xue Renqing again, but I still asked unwillingly: "Is there really no other way?" If you can find her, everything will be solved. ”

Xu Long thought for a while, and then glanced at Nie Qian who was standing by the windowsill,

I understood what he meant, and said in a firm tone: "Nie Qian is my girlfriend, what do you have to say, but it doesn't matter." ”

Xu Long still didn't mean to speak, which made me feel embarrassed, and I was about to have a seizure, but Nie Qian said softly, "I'll go and prepare lunch for you, and I'll come back later." After that, she ignored my call and went out.

I stared at Xu Long angrily and said in a deep voice, "This is what you want?" Now you're satisfied, right? Can you say that, my Vice Captain Xu? ”

"It's not that I can't trust your friend, but you must know that what we are doing now must not be negligent, once Lu Yong detects it, the consequences will be unimaginable, and then not only you and I will be in trouble, but even the people around us will not be spared."

Suddenly, Xu Long lowered his voice and said word by word: "It's like Xue Zilong's family." ”

As soon as I heard the name, my feverish mind instantly calmed down, and the bloody photos from the investigation report came to my mind, and my stomach churned for a while, and I fell silent.

"As for Xue Renqing, in fact, we haven't thought about looking for her, forget it, let's not talk about the past, I will find her in every possible way, but... You'd better not put all your hopes in her, or you'll only be disappointed. ”

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, I understand this truth." I nodded, holding up two fingers, "Two more questions." ”

"Say it." Xu Long twisted his head to the side, looking a little impatient.

"Why did you and Lu Yong find me? If Lu Yong had to control me because he was afraid that some ulterior conspiracy would be exposed three years ago, what about you? What can you get from me, an amnesiac client? If I regained my memory now, it might help you, but now ......"

Xu Long's flat face finally rippled, and he interrupted me in surprise, "What? Don't you still remember what happened back then after reading those materials?! ”

"No, not at all!" In the end, I deliberately strengthened my tone.

Xu Long finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, his two big rough hands rubbed each other, this was the first time I saw the other party show an anxious mood, it seemed that his current situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

But it also happened to give me the opportunity to test him, and I quietly reminded: "I don't know why this is happening, but if I can go to the hospital for medical treatment, the recovery is still very likely, do you say?" ”

"Do you think I don't want to do that? It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you might not have survived today! ”

Although Xu Long's words are terrifying, they are not alarmist, I know this very well, once I make such a move, Lu Yong will definitely kill me mercilessly!

Sure enough, Xu Long let out a deep sigh, and then said roughly the same idea as me, "Lu Yong has a lot of power in the bureau and even in the entire city, and I think you have seen his ability, so once you make any changes, he will definitely find out, and I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?" I don't know who else can be trusted now, and I won't tell you, just yesterday, I have already put Liu Nan ...... It was the policewoman who sent you the information that day that was transferred, and I was worried about her safety. Fortunately, Lu Yong still trusts me more, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find someone I could trust, I, the deputy captain of the criminal police team, wouldn't have to come to meet you every day, after all, there are still many things waiting for me to do in the team. ”

"So now we have to continue to investigate the murder case in the revenge room so as not to arouse Lu Yong's suspicions."

Actually, this is the only option in front of me, but I only say half of it, this murder case is like a double-edged sword, either kill the enemy or self-destruct, it depends on who can get what they want first.

And just now, I thought of a dangerous way, which is to use this case to delay Lu Yong and buy myself more time, although this idea is dangerous, but it is also worth trying.

Of course, I won't tell Xu Long these thoughts, although I am already on the same front as him and have some trust, but I still understand the indispensable truth of guarding against others.

"Yes, our top priority now is to find out the murderer of Li Qing!" Xu Long stood up from his seat, looked at me and said, "Let's talk about your last question." ”

"The last question is, in fact, you already know that there will be an accident in the revenge room, right?!"
